1. The Committee considered
the third periodic report of Cyprus (CCPR/C/94/Add.1) at its 1647th and
1648th meetings held on 24 March 1998 (see CCPR/C/SR 1647 and 1648), and
adopted at its 1663rd meeting (CCPR/C/SR 1663 meeting held on 3 April
1998) the following comments:
2. The Committee welcomes
the timely and comprehensive report submitted by the Government of Cyprus,
as well as the information provided in the supplementary report to the
third periodic report. The Committee notes with satisfaction that the
concluding observations made in connection with the second periodic report
have been largely taken into account by the Government of Cyprus in the
report under consideration. The Committee expresses its appreciation of
the constructive dialogue with the delegation which enabled it to gain
a deeper understanding of the human rights situation in Cyprus, in particular
of the mandates and functioning of the national machineries in place to
protect and promote human rights in the country.
3. The Committee notes that
the State party, as a consequence of events that occurred in 1974 and
resulted in the occupation of part of the territory of Cyprus, is still
not in a position to exercise control over all of its territory and consequently
cannot ensure the application of the Covenant in areas not under its jurisdiction.
The Committee also notes that, as a consequence of the same events, a
number of citizens of both Greek and Turkish communities continue to be
missing, making it impossible for the State party to provide any information
about the protection of their rights.
4. The Committee welcomes
the establishment of a Commissioner for Administration with the mandate
to investigate, inter alia, alleged cases of ill-treatment, inhuman
and/or degrading treatment and torture. The Committee also notes the decision
by the Council of Ministers to establish a National Institution for Human
Rights, which should be an independent body charged with monitoring the
compliance by the Government of Cyprus with its obligations under international
human rights instruments.
5. The Committee expresses
its appreciation over the revision of the legislation concerning prisons
and of its regulations which have, in particular, facilitated the establishment
of a register for detainees. It also welcomes the creation of an independent
Prison Council.
6. The Committee also notes
with satisfaction the incorporation of a human rights course element into
the core training programme for police officers and for government officials.
7. The Committee welcomes
the establishment of a Family court with jurisdiction over civil and religious
8. The Committee also welcomes
the recent agreement between the Government of Cyprus and the representatives
of the Turkish Cypriot authorities to resolve the fate of the persons
disappeared and missing since 1974 and encourages both sides to continue
their efforts with the assistance of international mediation.
9. The Committee notes as
a general concern the long delays and obstacles experienced in enacting
into law many desirable proposals for new legislation on a number of matters
and strongly urges the State party to take all necessary steps to remedy
this situation in order to implement the provisions of the Covenant more
comprehensively at the national level.
10. The Committee regrets
the persistence of inequality between men and women in law and in practice
in Cyprus. It is concerned that discriminatory provisions on the basis
of sex continue to inhibit the full enjoyment by women of their human
rights, in particular in laws relating to marriage, nationality, immigration,
employment and education. The Committee urges the State party to adopt
legislative measures to eliminate sex-based discrimination in all relevant
11. The Committee notes with
concern the discriminatory legal provisions which penalize homosexual
acts and urges the State party to repeal them.
12. The Committee is concerned
that the new law on prevention of violence within the family has not produced
the expected positive results and urges the State party to adopt appropriate
measures to improve the situation. A reform of the law on evidence should
take into account the possibility of eliminating obstacles to a spouse
providing testimony against another spouse on domestic violence.
13. The Committee is concerned
that the adoption of a proposed new law regulating civil debt has been
unreasonably delayed and recommends the State party to ensure that the
requirements of article 11 of the Covenant be fully met.
14. The Committee reiterates
its concern that, while the Covenant has superior force to domestic law
under the Constitution and may be invoked in the courts, there remain
uncertainties as to which provisions of the Covenant are self-executing
within domestic law of the State party and which require specific legislation.
15. While the Committee notes
the enactment of a new law regulating public assemblies and processions,
it is concerned about the conditions which the appropriate authorities
may impose regarding the conduct of assemblies and processions upon receiving
the required advance notification. The Committee also notes that the advance
notice required to be given is too early and may unduely curtail freedom
of assembly. The Committee reiterates that restrictions on freedom of
assembly must be limited only to those which are in conformity with article
21 of the Covenant.
16. The Committee is concerned
that the age criminal responsibility is still fixed at seven years, and
that marriageable age is defined as the onset of puberty. The Committee
further reaffirms its position that corporal punishment is prohibited
under the Covenant.
17. The Committee remains
concerned about the discriminatory treatment accorded to conscientious
objectors in Cyprus, who may be subject to punishment on one or more occasion
for failure to perform military service. The Committee recommends that
the proposed new law concerning conscientious objectors ensure their fair
treatment under the law and eradicate lengthy imprisonment as a form of
18. Considering the repeated
allegations of discrimination against Cypriot citizens of Turkish origin,
including issues of employment and identity cards, the Committee regrets
the lack of concrete information on the situation of those citizens, and
requests the Government of Cyprus to provide detailed information on this
matter in the fourth periodic report.
19. In relation to cases of
alleged brutality, ill-treatment, and torture by the police, the Committee
urges the State party to take firm measures to ensure an effective remedy
to any victim of such human rights violation. In this connection, the
Committee is concerned about the apparent reluctance of victims of violence
and ill-treatment to testify before the relevant instances and recommends
that the State party take every possible measure to correct the situation,
including increased public information activities to educate the public
on redress mechanisms available at the national level, their mandates
and their functioning.
20. The Committee recommends
that the legal profession as well as the legislative, judicial and administrative
authorities be provided with adequate information on the provisions of
the Covenant and its optional protocols. The Committee also recommends
that appropriate publicity be given to the third periodic report and its
consideration by the Committee, including these observations.

Fuckers Are Messing With Me
So welcome to my 3 new arrivals to the blog. That I know in real life. Two I helped, one found it herself (little miss smarty pants).
Thankyou Dickhead for pointing out the error in my last post. And thankyou for lying to me just to see my reaction. And please kindly tell me next time it IS your finger in my ass and you choose to "just see what youd do" when you dont admit it. You. Sick. Fucker.
Can the person who said they cried twice in one night reading my blog please not? Its not that bad, surely? No seriously, what I wrote about you was not supposed to do that. And either was the bit about dying. Im here now, lets just enjoy that, and worry about the rest later, mkay?
And as for the one who said he sat there crying like a bitch – suck it up baby and get me my coffee! Cmon, the only thing you like more than my sexy arse is my smart arse!
That new ad with Sigrid freaking thornton? Whom i hate? Your WRONG biatch. Most Smoking related illnesses are NOT slow and painful ways to die! Its freaking FAST! Didnt you read my "facts" post? Theres something thats NOT "whats good for you". Fuck off. You Suck.
What the fuck is this new andrew okeefe show? Rich List? This has apparently been on before? Shows i dont watch much tv, hey. What I want to know is, if those 2 guys have supposedly never met before, why do they dress in tandem? And how flamingly gay is the skinny one? And how weird are his eyebrows? And does he get his make up done by bert newtons makeup artist? And if so, why? Actually, WHY is a very apt question to ask about the entire show. I dont get it. I know i didnt watch much, but still. And why is the skinny guy trying to jump n hump the fat one all the time? I didnt hink even gay men liked strange men jumping all over them. Particularly ones with bert newton makeup on. On national tv.
96.1fm i love you but that K-Sera girl fucking pisses me off. Stop talking about your "home boys" and your "peeps". You sound like a fuckwit. And interviewing and editorialising are two COMPLETELY different things. Look one up. Id suggest looking them both up but im not sure you can spell. You make me cringe. I get gangsta speak. I like rnb, hip hop and rap. i like crunk. i know who tupac and biggie et al are (and am aware of the hilarity of using et al in that sentence). I know you do. But you sound as try hard and ridiculous as those callers "giving a shout out to all the 2142 boyz, representin it yo!" K-Sera, i may be wrong, but behind all that "frontin" and "representin" you do, you can construct a coherant sentence. You can use words that arent monosyllibic. I think you may have gone to school. Uni even. So please, your not fooling anyone. You arent black, your not from detroit, and you arent tough. In fact, when I hear you speak, i get visions of you holding something small, cute, and fluffy. And liking it.
Im in a weird place. Stuff is happening. And not happening. And my brain wont think, the fucker. Id give alot just to be able to think again. I dont like not being smart. I know many of you wouldnt believe it, but im actually clever-like.
I was.
Cancers a cunt.
and normally i dont even use that word.
on a side note, the arabic seems to suddenly be sinking in. weird.
maybe it was all those fucking UBER hot lebbos I was hanging out with on sunday morning. phwoar! i mentioned my little addiction to dickhead, and how hot those arabs are, and all he did was laugh. the little fucker didnt even offer himself up for me to satiate myself with. damn. damn his frustratingness. damn their hotness. and by that i mean GOD DAMN!!!! lol. those lips, those eyes, those muscles, those accents, that confidence……
yes mr-you-know-who-you-are, i do remember your saying. this leb constantly tells me that i dont know how hard it is being a leb, having to film it everytime he fucks, so that at the end of it he can share it with his mates…….. a copy for each defence lawyer.

About Me
Set on having a career as an ice skating coach after spending most of my childhood training hard and competing. I had to give up my ice skating coach career due to having lymph condition in my legs that developed after my second child that made it too painful to stand on the ice teaching for long periods.
It was also during this time that I was trying to find ways to support my two boys, who are both diagnosed with autism. Who I like to say are the spiritual term (crystal children) I never wanted to get into medicines and discovered reiki and natural therapies. I found my reiki teacher round the corner from where I live and did my training to become a reiki teacher. It was during this time working with reiki healing that I quickly started to develop my own abilities in energy healing and new that I could take my healing skills much further. I was fast developing a huge passion for healing and went on to develop some of my own reiki systems: Magical Nature Reiki, Love Light Synthesis Reiki and Conscious Reiki. I went on from reiki and into spiritual healing and trance mediumship healing and was amazed at the vast knowledge to obtain in the path of healing. I read just about any book on angels, spirit guides, mediumship I could get my hands on and went to every mind, body & spirit fair I could get to. I was fascinated and well and truly hooked and knew that this is what I wanted to do.
Through meditation I discovered many of my own guides and angels who are supporting me and I am truly grateful for all the support that they bring to me and through me to support other people.
I have a huge joy in my work and love hearing from other people about spiritual experiences they have had.- so do let me know of any experience you have had.
I do not follow any religion and am happy to just accept that we are divine and part of a much bigger picture.
I wish you all the best

FMF - Factory 4.1 System with Megabomb Header (Suzuki)
- Description
- Reviews
- Customer Photos
COMES WITH 94dB Insert
FMF - Factory 4.1 Complete Exhaust Systems
The Factory 4.1 system was derived from our successful Factory 4. We developed a completely new system with an ALL NEW muffler design. The Factory 4.1 oval muffler is constructed from military grade titanium utilizing an angle cut end cap and offered in either a natural or anodized blue finish. The performance characteristics start with a formed tapered inlet leading into the muffler. The oval shape combined with the tapered inlet allows the muffler to be routed further forward without interfering with the frame, subframe, shock, rear wheel or brake. Our Factory Forward Engineering lowers and centralizes the machines center of gravity for improved handling without sacrificing silencer volume and durability. With it's new formed end cap, the muffler is less susceptible to damage. Complimenting the muffler is our patented Megabomb™ titanium header and titanium mid pipe for reducing weight and superior strength. The modular exhaust port flange transmits less vibration reducing tension on the system. The all new angle cut end cap offers versatility and tunability with the optional Power Rings and Rev Tubes to alter power delivery. There is also a removable spark arrestor module for off-road applications.

Gallery : Exhibitions : Atelier | The Art of Representation
Atelier | The Art of Representation
Group Show
1st - 4th December 2015
Private View Mon 30th November | 6–9pm
Mall Galleries, The Mall, London SW1 Map >
More than 25 artists, all trained in the atelier style and handpicked for their creativity and vision will unveil their work at this exhibition, which will showcase how these traditional skills are relevant today.
This free exhibition will feature painters and sculptors from around the world who graduated from Ateliers and specialist workshops where they focused intensively on the technical art of representation.
The exhibition will include computer arts, pop art, sculpture, conceptual work, architecture, and photography along with painting and drawing.
In the Atelier style, mastery of the grammar of drawing is highly valued. The development of this level of skill demands from its practitioners an intensity of focus, dedication and patience. Even in today's high-speed world these qualities remain highly relevant, as demonstrated by the diversity of media used in the Exhibition.
James Napier, the Director of LARA and who conceived the exhibition, comments: "Ateliers focus on understanding how to truly observe from life and this exhibition fully illustrates what an artist can do once they have learned those skills. There is an impressive body of work within a range of forms as a result of the artists having spent serious study and time in mastering their art".

Home, Home on the Mac
My four-year-old Dell crashed Wednesday, and I was up most of the night, sleepless with worry that all of my data had been lost. Miraculously (and possibly with the help of long-distance reiki performed by my sister from Cambridge) the Dell powered up yesterday as if nothing was amiss. The close call triggered another Mac Attack, and I ended up at the Apple store in Cherry Creek last night looking at the iMacs, talking to an articulate salesman about what switching would entail. They didn't have the configuration I wanted in stock, so the moment of truth was delayed.
For the past few weeks I have been listening to an excellent podcast called Typical Mac User, in which Victor Cajiao gives Mac tips for switchers and newbies. Victor switched himself last fall, so he is an encouraging role model. I asked him some questions in an e-mail, telling him I was just about to buy an iMac. His reply included this:
Congrats I don't think you will regret it if you do switch. It's a very personal decision however I have switch[ed and] still use a PC for work and my other podcast www.typicalpcuser.com, however I have not regreted it for a second. I once again enjoy computing and NOT doing maintenance and baby-sitting my computer.
Macintosh seems to be the platform of choice for podcasters and artists, and Macs also rule in my own family. So when my mother calls me from two time zones away, ready to drop her Mac out a second-story window because she can't open photos of her great-grandson, I'd like to be able to picture her screen and offer a solution. Same with my father, sister, eldest daughter, niece and nephews. I dream of getting us all linked up with easy Mac-videoconferencing to overcome the miles that separate us, especially when it comes to images of my new grandson, James. Although his mother is a Mac user, his Dad is a PC guy, so James has a good chance of growing up bilingual.I woke up this morning to another blue Dell screen of death, and even though I figured out that the problem was a faulty USB corral, the trauma was enough to send me over the Mac edge. I called Apple and ordered a MacBook Pro, which won't arrive until mid-April, because sales are so hot. Oscar, the Apple tele-salesman, was a model of credibility, knowledge, and charm. He switched from PC to Mac two years ago. I will call Oscar back in about a week to buy the mother ship for my desktop, a 20-inch 2GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with 1 gigabyte of RAM.
I remember the day I saw my first Macintosh in a store in Cody, Wyoming, more than two decades ago. I was stunned by the paper-like look of a MacWrite document on the screen and decided on the spot NOT to buy the luggable Compaq PC-compatible that I was considering. Instead, I purchased a 512k "Fat Mac" from 47th Street Photo in New York City. It was a happy relationship until my love of gadgets lured me to the PC platform, because everything new and great came out first for PCs, with some crummy Beta version tossed to Mac users six months or a year later. I was a corporate guy for 11 years, so I understood the realities of the market, and at the company where I worked, PCs were the rule except for a few artistic pansies in Corporate Communications. Now I'm retired, working in the arts, and it's time to come home. It would take more than 2,000 "Fat Macs" to equal the memory in the computer I bought today for about the same price I paid for my first Mac 20 years ago.
[Blogger had a melt-down yesterday, so I wasn't able to post this podcast. It begins with a few man-on-the-mall interviews, in which I discovered that most people could care less about Mac versus PC. It ends with my trip to the Apple store, which was buzzing with buyers last night an hour before closing time. The podcast lasts about 10 minutes.]

Condo Life
Perhaps because of the presence of my recording device, this Meeting with the Manager was relatively free of fireworks. But we have some big projects looming, so homeowners have understandably strong feelings about potential costs and benefits of a renovated lobby, improvements to the top floor's exercise room and hot tub, as well as an ambitious proposal to build out the third floor with a variety of new amenities.
Unless you live at the Barclay, the following hour-long podcast is not likely to hold your attention for more than a few minutes. By now, I can almost recite parts of the meeting, having sat through the original and then listened to the entire thing again in order to create the podcast. A homeowners association like ours represents a very basic form of democracy. I find it fascinating when it's not driving me crazy.

Londoner charged in fatal
It appears the driver passed another driver on the right, lost control of the car on the gravel shoulder and rolled into a ditch, police say.
By Debora VAN BRENK, Sun Media, Thurs., August 23, 2007
A London man is charged with criminal negligence causing death and police are trying to figure out how a car reported stolen from Windsor on Tuesday ended up hours later in a Zorra Township ditch.
Police yesterday identified the victim as 15-year-old Marie TOLEAH of London, but released no further identifying details.
Six Londoners, including the teenager who died, were in the Pontiac Sunfire that crashed in the rural Oxford County township.
"It's very tragic," said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Dennis Harwood.
Harwood said witness statements and technical traffic investigators are to sort out what happened and why.
He said it appears the driver passed another driver on the right, lost control of the car on the gravel shoulder and rolled into a ditch on the south side of Oxford Road 2.
The people in the car included three men, ages 24 (two) and 32, and three teenage girls, 15 (two) and 18.
Some of the occupants wore seatbelts, Harwood said, but it was unclear how many.
The occupants all knew each other, directly or indirectly, he added.
Ibrahim Samory MANSARAY, 24, of London, is charged with criminal negligence causing death, possession of a stolen vehicle and breach of probation.
He was treated and released from Woodstock hospital.
witnesses: were horrified as the events unfolded in front of and beside them.
"He flew past me and lost control," said Florence HEEMAN, who saw the car flip two cars ahead of her.
"He tried to pass us and couldn't get in quick enough."
Tony OVERZET watched from his rearview mirror in the west lane.
"It flipped three times, side over side, and then two times nose over tail," he said of the wrecked car.
The driver, he said, "had lots of speed."

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe Junin grebe's impressive diving ability allows the bird to feed on a diet primarily of small fish, but it also eats invertebrate nymphs and adults from the lake's surface (2). They also consume feathers which form a ball in the centre of the stomach and a plug in the pyloric region. The main function of this may be to rid the grebe of gastric parasites when the ball is regurgitated (3). Often they can be seen feeding in groups; several birds will swim along in a line and dive down simultaneously (2). The Junin grebe lays eggs in December and January, during the rainy season (2). They nest amongst the reed beds in colonies of up to 20. The usual clutch size is two eggs, and it is likely that only one clutch is laid per year. In years when there are very low water levels, no young are raised at all. It is presumed that this is a long-lived species, and its very low reproductive rate probably evolved in a stable and predictable environment (2). Once the eggs hatch, the new family of grebes leave the reed beds and head out to open water, with the fledglings carried on the back of the male parent whilst the female dives for their food (6). The Junin grebe performs an array of sequences during courtship. This includes 'head-shaking', when two grebes facing breast to breast turn their head rapidly from side to side in synchronous jerks; and 'penguin-dance', when the grebes carry out 'head-shaking' whilst paddling vigorously, and extending their bodies and neck vertically out of the water (3).

Political realignment and Northern Fianna Fáil discussed at annual re-enactment dinner
August 3, 2010
Well-known political commentator Tom Kelly was the guest of honour at the annual re-enactment dinner hosted by the Tom Dunn Society, Rostrevor which commemorates a United Irishmen night attended by Wolfe Tone in County Down.
Mr Kelly delivered the key-note address on a theme of political realignment including the possibility of Northern Fianna Fáil. The theme was particularly significant given Taoiseach Brian Cowen's visit to Crossmaglen just days earlier.
In a wide ranging speech, Tom Kelly addressed the challenges for all political parties on the island of Ireland following the completion of the Northern peace process and the collapse of the economy in the Republic of Ireland.
Speaking to a distinguished audience of the Tom Dunne Society members, politicians, writers and academics, Mr Kelly said: 'Political re-alignment is on the cards right across the political spectrum. The collapse of the Irish economy has presented Fianna Fáil with major difficulties which may alter its future unless it adapts. Yet there is no big idea on the Opposition side. Irish politics now requires a momentum that can only be created by a more holistic vision of Irish society. Ironically as one door appears to close on Fianna Fail fortunes in the South another appears to be opening for them in the North. The differences that created Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael will soon be forgotten in another generation. The ties that bind people within those organisations are loosening at a time when the differences between their organisations are dissolving. Labour is trying to balance the outdated rhetoric of Connolly alongside the requirements to be a modern social democratic party but it's practically impossible. They too need a 'new' labour type project to give them the credibility to be the lead party in Government. However, re-alignments will be driven by the electorate and not by the parties themselves.
"In the North re-alignment will be witnessed quicker on the unionist side driven by fear on one hand and a genuine dissolution of differences between the DUP and UUP. The current leadership in either party is probably the only stumbling block to closer cooperation. On the nationalist side Sinn Fein has boxed the SDLP in by taking their clothes and sharing the constitutional nationalist plinth but their hopelessly reckless economic policies prevent any significant expansion into the Republic where despite the recession the Irish electorate has no appetite for their policies. The SDLP sit precariously at a crossroads which they need to leave. Sinn Fein having come at them from the left; a re-surging Alliance bolstered by a new Minister, a popular MP and NI's only ethnic MLA may challenge the SDLP more robustly for the middle ground. Without clear direction the electorate in the North may plump for monolithic blocks which won't help the development of politics.
"Ireland now more than anytime in the past is at peace with itself, its neighbour and its history –and that is best articulated constantly by President McAleese who has shattered many cultural shibboleths while embracing the diversity of cultural traditions on the island.
"The United Irishmen would be pleased with the accord that has been reached. They would be less than pleased by the inequalities which exist created by a culture of greed and self interest and certainly would turn in their graves watching our children being used for sectarian street fighting by sinister and undemocratic forces unwilling to accept the will of the Irish people.
"The hundredth anniversary of the Easter Rising in 2016 should be a target date by which we all work towards updating the principles of modern republicanism to fit the purpose of a modern, diverse and pluralist Ireland. Let the persuasiveness of the aspirations and ideals of the United Irishmen stand free and clear from outdated rhetoric and the mist of violence created by two hundred years of mistrust, division and sectarianism. For once let Ireland give the living a more power than the dead."
"Ending his speech, Tom Kelly by adding: 'Ireland could do worse than follow the example of Bhutan and have an injection of a little GNP- Gross National Happiness' – and in making the annual toast to the memory of Tom Dunn and the United Irishmen, he quoted Bertrand Russell: 'If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have a paradise in a few years' – I am sure the United Irishmen could live with that."
The Tom Dunn Society's Patron is An Uachtarain na hEireann, Mary McAleese and previous annual lectures have been given by Sir George Quigley, author Tim Pat Coogan, former Presbyterian Moderator John Dunlop, and historian Brian Feeney. The society holds the re-enactment dinner and a series of seminars and events throughout the annual Fiddler's Green Festival in Rostrevor.

MINERVA-Voters of the Minerva Central School District will be asked to approve a spending plan for 2011-2012 that includes a modest 1.74 percent increase to the tax rate.
Minerva Superintendent Tim Farrell said that when the first draft of Minerva Central School's (MCS) 2011-2012 budget was finished, he and the school board were pleased with the position that they were in. After cuts in state aid, however, MCS was stripped of just under $300,000 - roughly a 20 percent reduction - and Farrell was back to the drawing board.
The first draft of the budget was within $10,000 of the current year's spending plan, with minimal increases, according to Farrell. The final proposed budget cut expenses by $332,000 with a total budget of $4.99 million and a 6.3 percent spending decrease. The current MCS budget is $5.3 million.
"Our goal was to keep the tax increase to a minimum," he said.
After aiming for a 0-2 percent increase to the tax rate, the proposed budget includes a 1.74 percent increase with a tax rate of $9.88 per $1,000 of assessed property. The current rate is $9.71 per $1,000 of assessed value. That means a homeowner with a home assessed at $150,000 would pay $1,482 in school tax, or about $25 more than this year.
The proposed budget benefited from savings generated from recent retirements and natural changes within the special education department, Farrell said.
Other cuts were made in the form of reductions is faculty and staff positions, reductions in the areas of music, physical education, support services and custodial, as well as reductions in supplies, conferences and staff development needs. The chosen cuts will generate savings while having a minimal impact on students, according to Farrell.
"It wasn't easy," said Farrell. "If our tax livy is limited and revenue decreases as costs increase, we will be forced to close the gap by eliminating services."
MCS has been fortunate enough to avoid major program cuts in the past several years, according to Farrell, but he is certainly worried about the future.
"Things like youth and government and sports make all the difference for some kids," he said. "But they are certainly costly,"
The proposed budget for next year will be presented before the full board for approval Thursday, April 14. The plan will be put to a public vote May 17.

Mary Anne Franks at Krav Maga Brickell.
Mary Anne Franks could shatter your kneecap if she felt the need to. Cracking a rib might even be easier. As an expert in the Israeli martial art Krav Maga, these moves are reflexes to her, which is why she recently started teaching classes at the University of Miami's Patti & Allan Herbert Wellness Center, which are open to the public.
The classes are punishing and empowering. They're also a surprise for UM students when they realize the ass-kicking instructor is Ms. Franks, an increasingly popular criminal and family law professor.
Action-heroine stuff aside, Franks has been making a name for herself as an engaging teacher and appeared on television and radio programs as a commentator on the legalities surrounding an individual's right to defend his or her personal space. It's a realm of particular importance to women, who—despite living in an "evolved" society— regularly have to deal with the threat of explicit online retaliation, harassment, and domestic abuse.
"Society puts a lot of focus on women as objects as opposed to women asserting their subject-hood," Franks says. "I'm concerned with ways that women can create a relationship with their bodies that's about making them stronger, faster, as well as more secure."
Franks has always been especially cognizant of the need to defend oneself. She grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, which was called "The Most Dangerous Little Town in America" by the British newspaper The Independent. "One of the things that was very present for me growing up was that I have to get out of a place like this," she explains.
Her road out of Pine Bluff would lead to her securing an academic arsenal every bit as impressive as her Krav Maga moves: first a doctorate in modern languages and literature at Oxford University, as a Rhodes Scholar no less. Next came a law degree from Harvard, where she would later take a poorly compensated teaching position. There, she found purpose. "I was working for a famous feminist law professor, and she asked me to rethink what a legal academic could be," says Franks. Being a professor resonated. She could turn good students into great lawyers, legislators, politicians.
That journey brought her to Miami, but not before a teaching interlude at The University of Chicago. Living in often dangerous Hyde Park, she decided to pursue a lifelong interest in martial arts, specifically Krav Maga. Used by the Israeli Defense Force, the system teaches hand-to-hand combat for controlled defense.
"What troubles me about Florida when it comes to the psychology of self-defense is that our answer for defending ourselves is always a gun," Franks says. "Krav Maga is a nuanced approach to defending oneself and protecting one's space. You can respond effectively, but no one gets shot, no one dies."
You might not realize it from her sunny demeanor, but Franks is always fighting. "I think if you look at any newspaper every day, you'll see there's still so much to fight for," she says. "We can't afford to become complacent. We're not there yet." 1241 Dickinson Dr., Coral Gables, 305-284-5433

An AIDS vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection in humans for the first time, a significant advance in a field of research that has long been stymied by failure.
The $105 million, six-year trial, which involved more than 16,000 people in Thailand the largest AIDS-vaccine trial ever conducted found that an experimental vaccine was 31% effective in preventing HIV infection. The volunteer group in the study was representative of the general Thai adult population, including low-risk, heterosexual adults. Calling the results of the trial a "significant scientific advance," officials at the World Health Organization said the results reinvigorated the stalled quest for a vaccine against AIDS, which is estimated to kill some 2 million people globally each year.
The vaccine, called RV144, combined two older vaccines that had each proved unsuccessful in previous tests: ALVAC, from Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccine division of French drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis; and AIDSVAX, originally developed by VaxGen Inc. and now held by the nonprofit Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases.
The vaccine was administered in two stages. First the ALVAC vaccine, which uses a Frankenstein virus of canarypox and HIV, was used as a primer dose, then AIDSVAX was administered as a "booster" to improve the body's immune response to the first shot. Half of the trial's participants received the combination vaccine, while the other half received a placebo. In the final analysis, 74 of the 8,198 placebo recipients became infected with HIV, compared with 51 of 8,197 participants who received the vaccine regimen.
"The efficacy is a modest one. But it's the first time we've seen a positive signal of efficacy in a human trial of any HIV vaccine. That's an exciting result in a field that has been characterized by disappointments for two decades," says Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which provided major funding and other support for the Thai trial.
The scientists working on the trial, led in Thailand by the U.S. Army and the Thailand Ministry of Public Health, said they were baffled as to why the two seemingly ineffective vaccines appeared to work together. Another mystery was that the people who became infected with HIV developed roughly the same amount of virus in their blood whether they got the vaccine or the placebo. Typically a protective vaccine would lower a patient's so-called viral load, a criterion that physicians use as the main indicator of HIV infection. The outcome of the trial of RV144 suggests that scientists do not fully understand what constitutes a successful immune response to the AIDS virus.
"We don't know whether our current measures of the human immune response are even relevant to the protection that we see in this trial. [That is] a humbling reminder of how little we know, and how much work remains to be done in our search for an optimal HIV vaccine," Fauci says.
But Jonathan Weber, a professor of communicable diseases and an HIV expert at Imperial College in London, says the consistency of the viral load across the placebo and vaccine groups was not a surprise. "It's a fair assumption that this vaccine works through antibody production," he says. "We've known for years that antibodies don't seem to affect the course of an HIV infection. Antibodies can be preventive, but they can't modify the disease."
Colonel Jerome Kim, who helped lead the study for the U.S. Military HIV Research Program, says other unknowns remain about the vaccine, such as the duration of its effect, the potential need for additional boosters, its efficacy in higher-risk populations like intravenous drug users and, most crucially, whether it might work on other subtypes of the virus. "The vaccine was tested in Thailand against types of HIV that circulate in Thailand," Kim says, pointing out that a different strain of the virus causes high infection rates in Africa.
Both Kim and Fauci emphasize that it will probably be a "significant period of time" before the trial results lead to a vaccine that can be submitted for approval for use in the general public, if such a breakthrough occurs at all. Most licensed vaccines have an efficacy rate of at least 70%, although it's possible that an HIV vaccine with lower efficacy may gain approval, Kim says. "The efficacy threshold may be a consideration that is specific to individual countries, the nature of their HIV-AIDS epidemics and the performance characteristics of the vaccine," Kim says.
Ade Fakoya, a London-based clinician and senior adviser to the British nonprofit AIDS Alliance, tells TIME that a 30% efficacy rate is still very low. By comparison, studies in Africa suggest that male circumcision can cut the risk of HIV infection in men by up to 60%. Still, in a field that has been beset by a series of high-profile failures in the past 20 years in 2007, for example, two international trials of a promising Merck vaccine in about 4,000 people were stopped early, and later analysis suggested that the vaccine may have increased people's risk of infection the results of the Thai trial are a turning point. "In terms of where the vaccine world was even a few weeks ago, this is huge news and a proof of concept, finally, that vaccines can work," says Fakoya.

Growing Organic Tomatoes From Seed
Growing organic tomatoes is not much different than growing traditional tomatoes. The key difference obviously is that no pesticides or herbicides are used during the growing and harvesting process. This helps prevent ingesting harmful chemicals into our bodies. There is still plenty of speculation as to nutritional superiority, but the bottom line to growing organic tomatoes is simply that they have no chemicals and generally taste better. Some people think that growing organically produces smaller fruits and vegetables. However, if you follow this growing plan you will find yourself growing organic tomatoes that will be the envy of your neighbors
Growing Organic Tomatoes With Seeds In Egg Cartons
Don't throw out those cardboard egg cartons. Instead, use them to start your organic tomatoes from seed. There are a wide variety of tomatoes available in both traditional and organic seeds. My honest opinion on seeds is that it is not necessary to purchase true organic seeds if you are starting your plants. True there might be some chemicals, however the trace amounts that would be evident in the mature plant would be miniscule when grown under organic conditions. However, if you are a purest, there are plenty of organic tomato seeds to start with as well.
Cut the top off of the cardboard egg carton. Cut the top into smaller strips and throw into your compost pile. Fill each of the egg compartments with compost until the compost is partially hilled over the top. Poke your pinky finger into the center of each compost heap about 1/8-inch deep. Plant two to three seeds in the hole and gently cover them with the compost. Place the egg carton seed trays in a window sill with direct sunlight or under grow lights. Keep the soil moist, but not soaked
Growing Organic Tomatoes – Transfer To Paper Cups
You will notice sprouts within a few days and within two weeks you will see two to three leaves. These are starter leaves and contain the nutrients to feed the sprout until the true leaves develop. Continue watering your egg cartons when the compost is dry to the touch. When the true leaves begin to develop they will separate from the seeding leaves. You will also notice that you have several sprouts within each egg cup. Once the sprouts have become a couple of inches tall and the true leaves are evident, it is necessary to thin them out into bigger paper cups.
Fill 8-ounce paper cups with compost, and carefully remove a sprout from the egg carton and replant it into the 8-ounce cup. Continue doing this so that you have one sprout in each cup. Use only the healthiest sprouts and place the remaining ones into your compost heap. Poke a few small holes in the bottom of the paper cups and water the soil thoroughly without over-soaking.
Set the cups close together in a window sill without drafts, or even on the floor of a room with direct sunlight. Water the soil when it becomes dry to the touch. Add compost to the cups after one week to continue feeding the plants the nutrients they need. Remember, it is not necessary to use fertilizers when planting in organic, composted soil.
Growing Organic Tomatoes – Planting Into The Garden
Once a couple of weeks have past from the last frost, your organic tomato seedlings are ready to be planted in the garden. It is a good idea to add another 2-inch layer of fresh compost to the top of the garden area and rake it in with a garden rake. This provides fresh nutrients for your new organic tomato seedlings and also loosens the soil enough to transplant them into the garden.
Dig a hole into the garden with your hand or a hand shovel, as deep as the bottom of the cup to halfway up the stem of the seedling and as big around as the cup. Carefully squeeze the sides of the cup to loosen the soil inside and gently pull out the seedling root ball from the cup.
Place the root ball into the hole and cover with the soil. Remove all but the top layer of leaves from the seedling using pruning shears. Pruning shears make a cleaner cut and cause less harm to the seedling than simply pinching them off.
Insert stakes next to each seedling or place tomato cages around each right after planting. This will help as the plant matures and fruit begins to develop. Now that you have started growing organic tomatoes, it is a matter of caring for them and harvesting them. Growing tomatoes is perfect for organic vegetable gardening for beginners.

The results of the studies also suggest something more. If an impulse can harden into a habit, and a habit can turn into a compulsion, and a compulsion can serve as behavior that a user relies on to feel normal and in control, then perhaps researchers should be trying to understand this mysterious disease by viewing it through the lens of drug addiction, Marsh said. "Food, drugs, they're both rewards," she noted.
In fact, this way of thinking about eating disorders is an emerging trend in the field.
Greta Gliessner is a 37-year-old New Yorker who says she was addicted to bingeing and purging. In her late teens and early twenties, she used to drive to the grocery store to buy cartons of ice cream and bags of chips to binge on. She'd start before she made it home. At the height of her disorder, she would vomit thirty times a day.
"Even if I would just drink Diet Coke I would have to purge," she said. "That feeling of fullness is what I could not stand. It could be a salad, it could be a carrot; whatever it was, it was coming out."
The consequences of Gliessner's behavior also bring to mind a drug addict. "I lost everything," she said. "I was spending $100 a day on food. I pawned things, I stole things, I got kicked out of my apartment." When she ran out of money, she would use her parents' credit card number to order out.
But can someone really be addicted to bulimia?
Absolutely, said Billy Chen, a researcher at the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Maryland. Chen, who studies substance addiction, said any behavior that creates a reward system and provides its user with a feeling of release can turn into an addiction. That release can set up a pattern of using the behavior whenever the user feels bad. In this case: feel bad, binge, purge. Repeat.
As the theory goes, when we repeat certain behaviors — like bingeing, using drugs, or stealing to manage anxiety — we strengthen those neural pathways while weakening others. Bulimia, in fact, has already been shown to alter the same pathways that long-term drug use does: In the brains of recovering bulimics, serotonin no longer binds as effectively, UC San Diego researcher Walter Kaye found in a 2001 study.
In addition, one of the main factors in judging addiction is whether the user engages in what is known as automatic drug-seeking behavior — in the case of bulimia, obtaining food and eating it to get the "high."
Gliessner is writing a memoir about her experience, and runs a bulimia recovery blog, where she comments on portrayals of food and eating disorders in the media through the lens of her own experience. It's called, "Life With Cake."
She now works as a therapist at the Metropolitan Center for Mental Health, in the outpatient substance abuse program. She spent most of the intervening years in Florida, in rehab, therapy, and attending Overeaters Anonymous meetings. She uses her history of eating disorder to connect to her patients with drug problems — because, she says, the experience translates.
"It's all serving the same purpose," she said, "which is to fill some kind of spiritual void — an emptiness that you can't satiate in any other way.
"I was a junkie, but with food."
Heather Sutherland knows that there's more to an eating disorder than eating. She's a youthful eating disorder therapist with gray-blue eyes and a loud laugh — a laugh liable to reveal the flash of a silver tongue ring. As group therapy leader at Alta Bates, Sutherland worked with Duong for more than four months to help her shed her habits and confront her past.
The most common treatments for bulimia are anti-depressants, family therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy — a type of therapy that seeks to refocus distorted concepts of weight and then home in on common binge triggers, Sutherland said. Duong has undergone all of them. A rethinking of the disease, however, might point to different drugs, programs, or types of therapy as being more effective. Given the results of his latest study, James Lock is now working on a comprehensive comparison of different treatments, which he aims to publish in two years.
At Alta Bates, fixing bad eating habits is the program's first step. Most of the women who enter the clinic have been hospitalized due to their disorder or find themselves no longer able to function in daily life. Weak, emaciated, or suffering from other nutrition-related problems, their eating patterns are often the best indicator of their mindset. And that must be addressed before deeper work can be done.
"Food is core," said Sutherland, sitting in her office on Dwight Way. "To literally manipulate your body and your food — the one thing you really need to survive — that's pretty hard-core."
Duong recalled being monitored by nurses while she ate her meals. It's a prospect that, a year earlier, would have sent her into a panic. "But I was finally in that stage where I wanted to work on myself, so I cooperated."
As in many recovery programs, Sutherland's goal during group therapy is to locate the root of her patients' behaviors and make them aware of how they have become self-destructive. If their brains naturally lean toward impulsiveness, she hopes to train them to manage those impulses constructively.

The company will be displaying a selection of diesel-drive portable air compressors, including its popular 375HH and 900XHH/1150XH units, which are ideal for drilling applications.
Sullair's South Australian sales team will also be on hand to share their expertise, technical insights and practical advice on compressed air and aftermarket-care requirements.
Sullair Australia National Product Manager for Portable Air Power, Daryl Davis, explains that the Sullair 375HH compressor is ideal for small hole drilling applications and water well drilling.
"With highway towable running gear, and quiet operation of 76dBA at 7m, this is a versatile addition for any drilling site operation," he says.
Davis adds that "for added peace of mind, the Sullair 375 HH comes with a standard two-year air-end warranty that can be extended to 5-years or 10,000 hours when continuously serviced at the recommended intervals with Sullair AWF compressor fluid and filters."
A range of ergonomic features have been incorporated into the design of 375HH compressors, including:
- a curbside instrument panel
- large service doors to provide access to the fuel tank
- air filters; and
- all serviceable components.
Davis notes that given the remoteness of many mine sites, compressed air equipment chosen for such an application needs to be reliable and robust enough to provide optimum performance in harsh environments.
"Here, Sullair's products have an enviable reputation. They are designed to be tough enough to run for extended periods in dry, humid, and dusty conditions, and where the ambient temperature approaches 50 degrees C," he adds.
ADIA will also provide Sullair Australia with an ideal platform to demonstrate its service and support capabilities.
Davis says that "Sullair Australia has fine-tuned a comprehensive aftermarket care portfolio, comprising service technicians on the ground, technical support in the head office, and direct access to our production factory for service and maintenance. This gives us the capability to complete routine servicing more quickly, and provide more responsive breakdown assistance to help end users maintain and optimise production."
Sullair Australia will be located at Stand M at the ADIA 2012 show, to be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, North Terrace, Adelaide, from the 19th to 21st September.

The latest Kauffman Index study ranked the Washington D.C. area as the area with the biggest startup growth.
The study measures entrepreneurship growth in 40 cities nationwide. The study is focused on output rather than input, which means it's looking at factors like business density, new companies, and growth rates. The study also measures entrepreneurship at the national, state, and metropolitan level.
This year, entrepreneurship grew in 34 of the 40 metros measured, which is the largest increase in the last decade on a national scale. This means that more new companies are cropping up nationwide, and they're starting up everywhere, not just in the bigger cities. If the trend continues, entrepreneurship growth could soon be back to pre-recession levels.
The usual big players like San Francisco and Boston stayed relatively stable compared to 2015's ranking, but other mid-sized cities went through some changes in the past year. Cincinnati had the biggest jump in the ranking since last year -- it moved up 19 spots from 35 to 16 -- while entrepreneurship slowed in Pittsburgh, moving the city from 12 down to 27.
The Washington D.C. area, consisting of Arlington, Alexandria, D.C., came in number one with a rate of startup growth of 116.9%. Austin, TX came in second and San Jose, CA rounded out the top three.

Massage cupping is a form of therapeutic bodywork that is used to facilitate deep tissue release and aid in bringing about numerous benefits to the body such as:
Enhanced flexability
Lymphatic/blood circulation
Tissue nourishment
Stretching muscle & connective tissue
Loosening adhesions & scar tissue
Sedating the nervous system
Massage cupping is performed by applying 'reverse pressure' to the body via silicone suction cups that are massaged along problem areas and then in the direction of natural lymphatic flow.
Sessions are typically 10-20 minutes in length, and is integrated with massage therapy.
Massage cupping breaks down adhesions/knots by helping to increase fluid (blood & lymph) circulation.
Massage cupping helps reduce build-up of cellular waste, toxins, inflammation, & excess fluids by assisting in dragging them from within muscles/soft tissue, to the body's surface, where they can be more efficiently disposed of via the lymphatic system.
Massage cupping is reported to be beneficial for many conditions, such as...
Tissue & joint inflammation
Stagnant lymph & edema
Sluggish colon
Lung inflammation
General anxiety
Massage cupping is contraindicated for:
Pace makers
Electrical implants
Low blood pressure
Pregnant women

Which brings us, finally, to the million-dollar question: In post-Chávez Venezuela, who has the political capital to institute the deep and painful reforms the country requires to break out of this wicked cycle? If Chávez himself -- who was the closest to God you can get in Venezuelan politics -- didn't dare to touch the gasoline subsidy or move against the Armed Forces' involvement in organized crime, who would dare? In the answer to that question, more than in the epic battles painted by the likes of María Corina Machado, lies the key to Venezuela's long term future.

The money-losing machine in Caracas
8 comments:
- Boludo Tejano11:25 AM
From the FP article: While the biggest corruption schemes in Venezuela are organized and sustained around currency controls and subsidies, neither of these policies was instituted by Chávez or brought about by his so-called Bolivarian Revolution. The gas subsidy has been in place for several decades, with its current price fixed since 1996, three years before Chavez came to power.ReplyDelete
The article neglects to point out that the gasoline subsidy has gotten much bigger under Chavismo. Our ice-cream loving Devil points out the vast increase in the gasoline subsidy under Chavismo in Random Thoughts About Blogs, Venezuela and a Government Caught in Political Asymptotic Slavery:
In 1998, right before Chávez came to power a tank of 80 liters of gasoline, or about 21 gallons, cost about 13.5 US$ in Bolivars. Chávez decided to freeze the price of gas to preserve his popularity. By now, that same tank of gas costs 11 cents of a US$. (NOT A TYPO).
There is a disagreement in the Foreign Policy article and the Devil's calculations for the cost of gasoline in Venezuela in dollars, which is probably due to the big variations in the official and black market rate.
I found it amusing that the FP article pointed out that were the gasoline subsidy to end, all those smugglers would be out of a job. Pobrecitos...
Bloggers have long been aware of the issue of the gasoline subsidy. Daniel wrote about it seven years ago: In Venezuela, the rich get the biggest subsidies.
The regime appears to embrace many idiotic unsustainable policies on an apparent road to self destruction. The only question is who are going to be the biggest victims and will be hurt the most, and how are they going to react? Will they react? Will they just fall to their knees to get what they can from the regime when the regime is the only source for food and gasoline and everything else?ReplyDelete

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The University of South Alabama doesn't want
its cheerleaders using a popular basketball cheer anymore.
In the past, cheerleaders and students have shouted "USA, South
in your mouth!" when a player sinks a free throw. The phrase is
similar to one used as a slogan by Southern-themed food companies
and restaurants all over the country.
But athletic Director Joel Erdmann has asked the cheerleading
coach to quit using the cheer, which he says is open to
"ambiguity." Erdmann says he wants to avoid any misinterpretation
of the cheer.
Student body president Kim Proctor says Erdmann's opposition
probably guarantees that the cheer will be around forever. Leaders
will likely find out at the first men's game on Nov. 12.

H&M angora sweater, Urban Research knit shorts, ASOS faux-fur coat, House of Harlow 1960 thigh-high leather boots, Givenchy Nightingale bag
Paris generally conjures up images of tea-length skirts, skinny sharp tailored trousers and chic collared shirts, but faced with a bitter wind, my inner Parisienne surrendered to wool, wool and faux fur, for good measure.
Winter makes me pick one bright colour so last winter was orange in the form of this sweater (which sheds like mad on anything cotton, by the way). Monochrome popped up in the form of this pair of shorts, which I vaguely remember buying in Hong Kong but upon checking the tag, I think it might be from Urban Research.
I probably stress this pair of boots and my Nightingale out too much but the former provides easy insulation, and the latter has an astonishingly large Mary Poppins-like space for me to hold all my travel essentials in (my friends are horrified when we're just about to leave the hotel and BAM, three lenses go into the poor Nightingale).
Oh, and lastly - lavender fur seems a little gauche but I can't help but think of My Little Pony and this way, I don't have to dye the ends of my hair lavender to achieve the effect...
At least I added some colour to the bare Tuileries!

Fire Hydrant L-Type Cover
Earlier today I was asked by one of our customers if we could source a fire hydrant valve cover for his local primary school. This led me down the rabbit hole of fire hydrant valve covers in Victoria! (2 hours I will never get back).
Loss Prevention & Life Safety – The 10 Most Common Problems
According to Austbrokers Countrywide, they have identified the 10 Most Common Problems for Loss Prevention & Life Safety in a PDF article they published on their website. The top 10 are;
Fire Protection: Stress Corrosion Cracking
While researching leaks in fire sprinkler and hydrant water supplied, I came across a new term, that I was initially unfamiliar with - Stress Corrosion Cracking ("SCC").
False Alarms - Section 32D, MFB Act (Vic) 1958
Earlier today, I received an email from a customer seeking our support for the payment of Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade ("MFB") fees associated with a false alarm. This gave me the impetus to read Section 32D of the Metropolitan Fire Brigades Act (Vic) 1958 that addresses these fees.
On further investigation, it became apparent that the Automatic Fire Alarm System had been isolated due to planned maintenance. When an alarm signal was detected, the personnel on site made a telephone call to the emergency telephone number "000", and reported a fire alarm.
NSW: Fire Safety in Aged Care Facilities
It is estimated that more than 60,000 people live in Commonwealth Government accredited residential aged care facilities across NSW and that, as at March 2013, about 55% of all existing residential aged care facilities do not have fire sprinkler systems installed.
After the devastating fires at Quakers Hill in November 2011, the New South Wales government established laws requiring the mandatory installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in all residential aged care facilities in NSW effective January 1, 2013 by or before March 2016.
A number of facilities were required to meet an earlier deadline of 1 September 2014 and the remainder of aged care facilities must retrofit fire sprinkler systems by 1 March 2016. These aged care providers are subject to strict reporting requirements and regular review.
On July 1, 2015, Ivan Donaldson, Chairperson of the Fire Sprinkler Systems Implementation Committee published the Fire Sprinkler Systems Implementation Committee Annual Report. This report provides the Government and Community a progress report and overview of the implementation plan for the period March 2014 – February 2015.
