When a woman sends the first message.
One of my hobbies is history and I have read hundreds of old letter from the first 100 years of this nation. Many of them were personal letters. I was so surprised in the beginning to find that the woman made the request to marry or live together more often than the men. Also, women and men mostly came together out of a mutual desire to build a life, not because of some emotional attachment, that came later from respect and a history together.
That is another surprise...many couples just lived together, albeit, in a committed relationship, but never officially married. Justice of the Peace and Judges were scarce and so were friends and preachers, for more folks than you would believe. They also had three-way partnerships and gay partnerships, A LOT more than you would believe. This whole "Ideal Family" never existed in the mind of mankind before the end of WWI.
When this whole BS thing about a woman OBEYING a man and being under his rule came about, only 2 major things happened that had some bearing on it, that I can find, because I have been trying to pinpoint the reason for years.
1. Victorian England was at the height of power and ruled 1/3 of the world at the time. This fashion of women being under men came about slowly as the English tried to force Christianity on native and aboriginal people. Since every nation looked to the English Empire as the leaders, this BS spread like wildfire. In England they also used to to give control of wealth to men and for women not to be able to inherit. It was contrived for power and control both financially and physically.
Even the Islamic countries did not oppress women as much as they have for the last 150 years, before Victorian era England.
2. Later, other nations began growing and having political control, which slowly diminished the British Empire in size and scope, the United States being one. During WWI at the Paris Peace Conference, which lead to the formation of the League of Nations and later the UN, an idea of what created stable, peaceful and prosperous nations and one of the top 3 was married heterosexual couples with one partner as the head.
In one swoop, one decision, women and gays were reduced to people with no rights, along with whomever may be a minority in any particular country, unless of course, that minority was a white male, then he was in power.
3. Pre-Christian Era, women had more rights and respect than any of you can imagine, unless you have studied it. Think of elephants or lions where the males roam and hunt and fight. Women made the homes, villages, had all of the political and spiritual power and did all of the healing. People were happy and survived well.
Christianity brought the male into the home life, but imprisoned everyone else. My hope and prayer is that it is like a pendulum with the Pre-Christian Era being one end of the swing and Christian Era being the other end of the swing and soon, the pendulum will settle in the middle with the best of both worlds working together for us all.
Men are already starting to understand that women have to be treated equally, but aren't very good at living that completely. Enough time has not passed through generations of men to understand what equal is and what is specific to a man and what is specific to a woman, as far as natural gifts. Or if you are a Christian, God-given endowments. Too often men today have the attitude of laziness in a relationship or their approach to women. They just want to lay back and let the woman take the lead in everything, almost in a "pay back" kind of way. It is all BS and not loving at all.
Women, don't sell yourselves short, you should not bow to anyone and for gods sake don't do all the work in a relationship, he needs to put in just as much as you. Just completely ignore and walk away form any man that thinks he puts in all the work and you have to be controlled by him. Maybe there will be hope for those men if women stop playing their game.
Also, there are women that use their sexuality to try to control men. This needs to stop. It is just as doggish and piggish as it is when a man does it. It does not empower you as a woman, no more than a man controlling a woman empowers him.
People need to be 100% responsible for themselves and come together out of a mutual desire to build a life together. Unfortunately many young women today are very piggish with their sexuality and the young men are like lazy cuckolds. These young women are destroying every foothold women have gained and are very aggressive against anyone that doesn't think they are goddesses and always right. I would blame the "Disney Princess Movement" or media that shows females have to be skinny whores that are worshiped, but every person has a choice to make and they are making theirs and they will not have the right to claim ignorance later.
That is the way I read what I have read and studied and it makes sense to me. Food for thought, OP.

Hey CharminC LOL Oh Myyyy you get me! LOL It is not often that people get what I am saying, probably because I write a few paragraphs. Thank You!
You know, when Israel was still a new nation, in the early 1960's, they had the majority of their citizens living together and refusing to marry, because of the BS of the institution of marriage.
Imagine, this was a couple of generations of people who had been born into or lived through fighting for their right to live and exist both personally and as a people and a nation. They had to literally work to build that nation every day. Each person was responsible for their part and they were very aware of that. Because of this intense reality of the moment, they were keenly aware of what was valuable and what was BS. They understood that choosing to commit to one another is personal, and does not need and should not be, regulated by and only recognized by, the government with a fee, a signature and being transcribed into a certain tax bracket.
However, the UN refused to give Israel full nation status because it did not have a majority of citizens legally married, so they claimed it was a nation of illegitimate children. This posed a huge problem for the country because the citizens gave their lives for it and didn't want to be dictated to, but this was an ultra important point that had to be given-in to so that Israel could take it's place with the nations of the world and be counted. UN membership as a full nation with all rights, dignities and powers is not only extremely protecting (though not so much for Israel), but affords a nation trading rights, medical advancement, and a say in what goes on in the world, especially with your neighbors, plus a lot more.
The government tried many things, but eventually it was Golda Meir herself that went from household to household talking to couples and explaining how good it was for the nation and asking them what it would take for them to marry for the sake of the country. The overwhelming majority said major appliances. Most households did not have a refrigerator. So in the end, the Israeli government gave a new refrigerator to every couple getting married. The plan worked and soon the majority of the nation was married and had their children legitimized.
People simply do not realize how deeply governments, fashioned only by a few men, controls even our choice of mate and how we choose to live. We really make few, if any, major decision in our lives. It all depends on how aware each person is that they are being controlled.

I'm personally sick and tired of trying to send a first email and say hi to a woman, or I should say I'm sick and tired of a woman not talking or saying hi herself. Things are so unproductive and self-defeating lately in this area. I pretty much won't say hi to a woman or send a first email at all. I make it real clear in my profile. Since a typical woman's profile doesn't have anything real to read in the first place, and I offer the right important imformation upfront in mine, and they still play that game of sitting back too scared or shy or full of game wanting a guy to do something which just encourages the wrong types that they complain about, and don't know how to make conversation when they do exchange some emails with you...then I make my profile known so they have a chance to see that it exists, but if they want to talk, they have to say hi to me. I've almost completely lost general respect or interest in women that won't put out some effort and shed this passive/incapable game that's outlived it's uselessness a long time ago.

I get occasional messages from women, and I'm perfectly okay with it. In fact, I prefer it, since I have never received more than a few cold, irritated replies from women that I have contacted. Unfortunately, many of the ones that contact me do not interest me, but I still send some polite replies, depending on what they had to say. But the ones that get me are the women that send me a cheerful hello, asking how I'm doing, or saying things like "you have a great smile...", then after I reply I don't get another message, and usually they have deleted my reply.
So I basically expect nothing from this site, but I remain here in hopes that maybe something will materialize someday.

All women should experience what it is like to send a first messages on a regular basis. True, women might get their feelings hurt when the guys ignore their messages. Or, would they feel worse if he wrote back "No thank you" just to be polite? Either way, women will develop a little more empathy for what they put guys through on POF.
If more women sent first messages, then you'd see more guys write ENTITLED carp on their profiles. And then women would start attaching shirtless photos & genitalia pics that'd gross out men. Finally, we'd get to a point where both genders stopped playing games. But that would seriously eliminate the need for online dating websites. So... Ladies, POF needs you to NOT message guys first. Haha.

And I usually will delete those that add me to their favorites list and not send me an email asking if it is alright to do so. What a great way for a woman to contact a man without having to be to aggressive.......
That may be a good technique for ALL women that have complained...:
"He put me on his Fav's List, but didn't Write!!!"
Fine!! Call them on their Bluff!! . . (If _HE_'s interesting enough to write to!)
"Hi there! I noticed that I'm on your Fav's List....What do you like about me..??"
(...or something like that!)

It is hit and miss. Sometimes there is no response, and sometimes they reply.
As long as there's some hits, it's all good ;) Keep in mind that the general response rate guys seem to get is between 5 and 10% -- 90-95% "no response at all" - so if you're doing better than that, count it as a good thing - and Merry Christmas to you too :)
Personally, I figure a woman who's brave enough to initiate, is also the type who's more inclined to take control of her own life vs expecting a man to do that for her too -- so she's a step up in my view of her from the get-go.

So true, as the ladies who are confident and are here to date,and if it takes them to make the first move,they will. There is nothing forward in that. It's the 21st century,right? lol
Or you could just sit by the window waiting for your Knight in Shining Armor to come trotting along first. And for some give reason why they they can't find that one good man because of that..........

They don't come knocking at the door, so we have to make the effort! (Form an orderly queue now please! Lol)
Another way to look at that - we're told that "Traditionally" (why do I picture Tevye talking now?) that men pursue, but women choose. So if that's the case, and since women are often so uncomfortable with the feeling of being a piece of meat when so many men are pursuing them (too hard?), doesn't it make sense for the women to take a little more of the control to avoid that feeling, since they're ultimately doing the choosing? Just a thought :)

It baffles me in this day and age that women still think that the man has to do all the work. Why have we fought for equality if we are just going to act like meek little lambs. I'm no feminist but I believe in equality and if it's ok for a man to do the chasing/first contact women should be doing it too!
I look at it this way, men like flattery. And what's more flattering than someone emailing you showing interest?
It works for me! I make first contact all the time and have great results. Do they all lead to successful relationships, no. But I get more responses than I get no replies, and I'm just an average looking girl but I think it's my confidence that comes through.

When I was actively dating earlier this year, whenever I would send out messages first I would almost always get responses and frequently dates. So it works for me. But then again, I don't sit around waiting for my phone to ring, or for life to happen to me.

I have an odd strategy. Though I occasionally contact women, I mostly sit back and let women contact me. Yes, I am that desirable! :-) Just kidding. I probably receive a message or two a month. Prevailing opinion dictates that I should take charge and reach out to all the women I am seriously interested in--this is my birthright and requirement as a man--but I actually like to wait for women to contact me. There are three reasons for this: 1) I like independent women, so women who contact me first probably fit this preference of mine; 2) Although messages, from what I gather, taper off for everyone after a time on this site, women still receive more messages than men; thus, if a woman has contacted me, she may have done so because she was truly interested in my profile; something sparked her (though this is not always the case--you should see some of the women who have messaged me: yikes!); and, 3) the women who have contacted me first have been, by and large, interesting and thoughtful.

This kind of thinking makes me laugh. Just
does a woman messaging a guy first ensure he's that "one good man?" Makes no sense whatsoever.
Also assuming some women are just sitting around waiting for a man to make her life complete is pretty presumptuous and a bit arrogant, IMO.

Ok, let's think about those old fashioned values..... how did you let a guy know you were interested in the old fashioned sense? Smile? a look and a smile? Guys can't see you smiling through a site like this, plus there are a lot of members on the site. It may take him some time before he runs across your profile because of settings, and other filters on the site. I have personally had a few ladies email me on the site and I found it flattering and not being forward at all. If you were in public and in person, then that would be different, but online it is completely different standard. I say send the email. Keep it simple, just to let him know you are interested. You may not get a reply, but at least you know and you are not wondering. You may find a remarkable man that you may have missed by not sending the email............ jus' my opinion.

on online dating sites whoever contacts who first is irrelevant because people are looking for people that they share common interest with, which is the point of sites like online dating.
What i don't get is why people click on the meet me and say they want to meet me but many of them never contact me. i have 150 people that said they want to meet me, but only prob 15 of them actually ever contacted me first or then when you contact them first instead a lot of them end up not replying back. lol it's like what's the point of even clicking yes that you want to meet someone when you don't contact them or even reply back to their message...........

(old fashioned values)
Many people who invoke the "old fashioned" jazz are just hiding behind an incorrect pretention, and don't know what old-fashioned really is -
- Old fashioned is when marriages were arranged by parents and grandparents, despite the wishes or feelings of the bride and groom.
- Old fashioned refers to a time when men did in fact initiate everything, and paid for everything, because women were second-class citizens and practically couldn't get a real job, and they were practically obligated to have sex if she accepted a man's invitation to take her out and feed her.
Btw, concerning sending first messages and getting or not getting responses...you can look at an escort service site and discover that some of the pictures there are the same as on some of the women's profiles in POF, so that might explain some of the confusion as to why many women here do or don't email, or email a certain way.

I think women should be the one's doing the chasing, I find it laughable that so many women think men should put in all the work just to get their attention. What do we get out of it? A lot of blocks and ignores is what we get when we try being the chasers. I hate to say it, and maybe this is based off my personal experience but I am sure you would find many guys would agree, that no matter what we do to try and catch the attention of women, we are more likely to get ignored then the other way around. I think if women did more chasing, you would have less guys complaining about how terrible their POF experiences have been with trying to meet women, and you would have more women realizing that not every guy is a perverted blowhard just looking to get laid.

I have contacted many age and geographically appropriate men, making sure to fully read their profile and writing something about them in my email.
So far I have not received a single response. I can't imagine that every man finds me so totally undesirable so I can only conclude that most men do not like to be contacted by women.

Writing From The End of the World
As I sit on a Sunday morning, reading through stories on this wonderful idea called Medium, I came across something that I never knew I had: an inferiority complex.
Wow…where the hell did that come from?
I have no clue. I didn't know I had it until I wrote it down.
What do I have to feel inferior about? I live, as my buddy Rick puts it, "at the end of the world."
I don't, of course. But I do live out in the country.
Living in the country means I have to drive anywhere to get everywhere. There's no public transportation, no taxis, and Uber and Lyft are a great idea, but they won't be out here any time soon. I actually checked.
Living in the country also means I don't get to savor the flavors of the various fast food restaurants that city dwellers take for granted. Plus, I'm not talking about the exotic or really popular ones, but the really giant corporate ones, like McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Starbucks. Sure, the nearest town has a couple of those, but Domino's doesn't deliver out to me. But I can go get it, if I want to drive the 15 miles to go to town. If I'm jonesing for Starbucks, that's about 40 miles: needless to say, I don't jones for that too often.
In truth, I am lucky; I have broadband. I have a friend who lives so far out in the sticks, he can barely get phone reception, and wifi is a pipe dream. he usually has to get about four miles away from home to catch a signal. I told him to talk to the local County Co-op that supplies power and he said they couldn't help him. They don't do internet that far out.
I haven't been to a movie theater in so long, its ridiculous.
I haven't been to a play since I was in one in high school.
The last time I went to a night club, I was ready to leave in the first five minutes. Then I actually saw someone approximately my age, and she was nice to look at, so I stayed. Once I discovered a few people my own age, it wasn't so bad, until we tried to leave. The traffic was horrendous. We drove two hours to get there, and three and a half hours to get out.
I pay more for everything too. Gas is usually 30 cents a gallon higher out here, and don't ask about cigarettes, wine or beer. You have to go to town to get liquor. All we have close is a convenience store, and that's about five miles away. But they do have a bar connected to them, so there is a little entertainment.
So why feel inferior?
I have no idea.
I lived in the city before. I know what it is like. I've lived in different sized cities (I consider a small city anything over 20,000 people, even though I know some will complain. That's my way of thinking, and if you don't like it, tough noogies…) such as Nacogdoches, Texas. I've lived in huge metropolitan areas, such as the Bay Area in California. I've lived in the high plains, in the desert, and by the sea. I loved some places, couldn't stand others, and ended up out here.
Yet, sometimes, when I read about these cities, I want to go back.
Not to stay, but just for the conveniences.
Then I remember the price you all pay to live there.
I remember the cost of living, crime, and the traffic. I remember not knowing my neighbors right next door, much less in my apartment complex. I remember having to go outside the city to see a field of grass. I remember the stress of driving with all those maniacs out there, and having to drive like them to get where I was going. I remember the speed of life.
So, as I ponder my inferiority complex on this Sunday at the Beach (Yes, I live about a half mile from the beach), I feel the breeze coming in off the Gulf of Mexico, and I wonder.
What the hell do I have to feel inferior about?

Vienna, 14 November 2011
G-77 and China Statement during the Technical Assistance and Cooperation Committee, 14-16 November 2011 delivered by H.E. Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Permanent Representative of the IR of Iran
Agenda item 2: Technical Cooperation: The Agency's proposed programme for 2012 - 2013 (rev. 1)
Mr. Chairman,
1. On behalf of the Group of 77 and China let me congratulate you on your election as Chairman of the Board of Governors. The Group is confident of your ability to successfully conduct the activities of this Board and I wish to assure you of the Group's support in the task ahead.
Mr. Chairman,
2. On behalf of the Group of 77 and China allow me also to thank the Director-General for the Agency's Proposed Technical Cooperation Programme for 2012 -2013, as contained in document GOV/2011/58 and its Addenda.
3. The Group wishes to thank the DDG for Technical Cooperation, Mr. Kwaku Aning, for introducing this agenda item and the TC Department for preparing the relevant documents and for the briefing held on 24th October 2011.
4. The Group takes note with appreciation that on 10th October 2011, the Secretariat organized the second seminar on Technical Cooperation for Permanent Missions in Vienna which allowed Vienna based staff to have an overview of the TC programme, its policy basis, programming mechanisms and management systems. The Group notes its usefulness and wishes to support the organization of this kind of activities and recommends its continuation in the future.
Mr. Chairman,
5. The Group wishes to reemphasize the paramount importance of the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) of the Agency, as the main statutory vehicle for the promotion of peaceful uses of nuclear energy. In this regard, the Technical Cooperation Programme plays an important role for the sustainable socioeconomic progress in developing countries and contributes towards the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals, to which the Group is fully committed.
6. The Group reiterates that the Technical Cooperation Programme is a shared responsibility and it has to be the result of the combined efforts of the technical Departments, the Department of Technical Cooperation and the Member States themselves. These efforts are crucial for the planning and successful implementation of the Technical Cooperation Programme, which should be based on the needs and evolving priorities of Member States in which TC projects are being implemented.
7. The Group emphasizes that the provision of TC is a request-based process and is subject to the eligibility criteria as provided for in the policy document INFCIRC/ 267.
8. Furthermore, the Group strongly believes that the present guidelines and criteria as provided for in INFCIRC/267 for the screening of TC project proposals, programme implementation and subsequent evaluation are sufficient and effective, and that there is no need to introduce additional mechanisms for fulfilling the above objectives.
9. While recognizing the specific needs and different requirements of Member States in implementing technical cooperation projects in a sustainable manner, the Group believes that any attempt to create sub-categories among Member States according to their level of development will unnecessarily cause discrimination in a manner inconsistent with the IAEA Statute.
10. The Group encourages the Secretariat to continue to develop the TC programme in a professional, impartial and non-discriminatory manner, following a well-established process, based on Member States' needs and requests, and in line with the Agency's Statute. It is fundamental for the credibility of the Agency that technical assistance and cooperation as stipulated in Article III.C of the Statute is not subject to any political, economic, military or other conditions incompatible with its provisions.
11. The Group maintains that endeavours aimed at building partnerships or outsourcing must not jeopardize or reduce the capabilities and resources available to the Agency for activities related to TC, and should not in any way dilute existing mechanisms to deliver TC to Member States. The Agency must continue to pursue activities related to its unique core competencies in all areas of nuclear science, technology and applications to be able to implement its statutory functions related to the TC Program and to respond to the requests of Member States. Therefore, the Group finds it necessary that the Agency maintains a sufficient level of in-house expertise and capabilities in all those areas.
Mr. Chairman,
12. While noting with appreciation that Member States continue to exceed the minimum Rate of Attainment of 90% set by the Board of Governors in 2004, the Group notes that the Rate of Attainment at the end of 2010, as compare to 2009, had decreased from 94% to 92.3%. The Group calls upon all Members States to do their utmost to pay their full share in accordance with the indicative scale of assessment in a timely manner.
13. In addition to that, the Group requests the Secretariat to make every effort to apply the due account mechanism to all Member States equally and efficiently, and to devise specific guidelines for its application, in consultation with Member States, for further approval by the policy-making organs of the IAEA, as provided in the Technical Cooperation resolution approved by the General Conference in 2011.
14. Regarding the Technical Cooperation Fund (TCF) target for 2012-2013, the Group wishes to reiterate that its expectation, which was based upon the past decisions of the Board of Governors, was not fulfilled. Nevertheless, in the spirit of compromise, the Group went along with the consensus around the target for voluntary contributions to the TCF, as well as the Indicative Planning Figures for the biennium 2014-2015, as contained in document GOV/2011/37. The Group expects that the future TCF target negotiations would be based on the parameters established in the past Board decisions.
15. The Group continues to regret that the resources available for the TC Program have not grown in proportion to the increasing membership of the Agency and the demand for TC. Resources for the TCP remain fully dependent on voluntary assessed contributions to the TCF and extra-budgetary resources. Over the years, the TCF target has only grown nominally in an ad hoc manner in comparison to the real growth in the Agency's regular budget, the bulk of which is devoted to non-promotional activities.
16. In this regard, in accordance with the resolution GC(55)/RES/11, as approved by the last General Conference, the Group looks forward to the implementation of the decision of the Board of Governors, as contained in document GOV/2011/37, that one working group should deal with both the level of the Regular Budget and the TCF target in 2013. The Group expects that this Working Group will lead to positive outcomes on issues related to TC financing.
Mr. Chairman,
17. The Group also notes with appreciation the emphasis in the proposed program on support to human capacity building, with 69.6 % of 2012 core resources being planned for delivery under various human resource components. At the same time, the Group would like to emphasize that the timely supply of equipment is a statutory responsibility of the Agency as stipulated under Article XI.C, and that this is also essential for the successful implementation of relevant TC projects.
18. The Group takes note that currently 64 countries have a valid Country Programme Framework (CPF), 23 of which were signed in 2010, and that 14 Member States are in the process of developing their first CPF. While CPFs provide guidance in planning and prioritization over a five years period, the Group believes that CPFs cannot fully express the dynamic needs and priorities of Member States participating in TC programs.
19. Regarding the Programme Cycle Management Framework (PCMF), the Group would like to stress that the PCMF platform should continue to be utilized exclusively to enhance coordination among national stakeholders and be accessible only to relevant project counterparts.
20. With regard to the Revised Supplementary Agreements (RSA), the Group takes note that by the end of August 2011, 116 Member States had signed an RSA. The Group encourages all Member States receiving technical cooperation to sign an RSA concerning the provision of such cooperation by the IAEA.
21. With these remarks, the Group recommends that the Committee forward the proposed programme as contained in document GOV/2011/58 and its Addenda to the Board of Governors for its approval.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Agenda item 3. Evaluation of technical cooperation activities
Mr. Chairman,
1. The Group of 77 and China wishes to thank Mr. Carsten Meyer, Director of the Office of Internal Oversight Services, for presenting the evaluation of technical cooperation activities in 2011, as contained in GOV/2011/62.
2. The Group continues to attach great importance to the regular evaluation of the implementation of the Agency's TC activities as it constitutes an effective mechanism to achieve the Agency's statutory objective of transferring nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and contributing to Member States' socio-economic progress.
3. The Group notes that, as in previous years, the evaluations were conducted with the participation and assistance of external experts and with the support of staff from the Department of Technical Cooperation and the relevant technical departments as well as various stakeholders from concerned Member States.
4. The Group stresses that an audit or evaluation activity can only be effective if the evaluated party is given an opportunity to provide feedback to the evaluation findings and that these are properly reflected before the report is officially released. In this regard, the Group reiterates its request for the evaluation findings to be shared first with counterparts from the concerned Member States so that a more comprehensive and balanced report could be issued by the evaluation team. This could be done by introducing a necessary feedback mechanism that should be conducted at the close of every audit session. Such mechanism would enable the evaluated party to consider relevant recommendations for continuous improvement or corrective action, if necessary.
5. The Group takes note that the OIOS conducted evaluations on the following:
" IAEA's support to uranium exploration and production activities;
" Equipment component of the TC programme;
" Sustainable control of major insects pests
6. In addition to that, the Group would have preferred the evaluation on PACT and its related activities be presented in the framework of the meetings of the TACC, as is the established practice. In any case, the Group looks forward to the adoption of its recommendations, as just mentioned before, for the ongoing PACT evaluation, as well as for the future evaluations.
7. In general, the Group concurs with the recommendations of the OIOS. Nevertheless, the Group would like to point out a few elements to take into account in the different areas evaluated.
8. Regarding the "Evaluation of the IAEA's support to uranium exploration and production activities", the Group concurs with the recommendation 1 on annex 1 that the TC projects related to uranium exploration and production should include all areas of the uranium production cycle, from exploration to remediation, and that those projects should be responsive to the recipients country's needs, in particular supporting the development of adequate infrastructure for both regulators and operators.
9. At the same time, the Group supports recommendation 3 of annex 1 that the Secretariat should focus the project objectives on enhancing self-sufficiency and sustainability at the national level by providing the necessary support to develop national technical expertise so that the selection of exploration/production agencies and their work can be effectively monitored and evaluated by national authorities.
10. Finally, the Group agrees with the view that in order to overcome the scarcity of international experts in the field of uranium mining, the Secretariat should ensure that contributions of experts, with knowledge in well established practices in the general mining industry, be considered for training activities.
11. Regarding the "Evaluation of the Equipment Component of the TC Programme", the Group would like to reiterate its view that the timely supply of equipment is a statutory responsibility of the Agency as stipulated under Article XI.C, and that this is essential for the successful implementation of relevant TC projects.
12. The Group believes that both capacity building and provision of equipment are important elements of the TC projects. In that sense, the Group considers that training activities should not be limited to transfer of knowledge on the use of the equipment provided, but also should be inclusive to its maintenance and, if required, its repair.
13. The Group concurs with recommendation 5 on Annex 2 that the Secretariat should provide a mechanism for the TC regional cooperation network to discuss issues related to equipment and to support the exchange of expertise for resolving issues related to installation, repair and maintenance. The Group also supports recommendation 6 that the Secretariat should ensure that all equipment components provided are compatible and functional.
14. The Group looks forward to improved coordination between all stakeholders, including manufacturers/suppliers, carriers, clearing agents, National Liaison Officers (NLOs), Agency staff and, most importantly, the TC project counterparts, to track the different stages of equipment provision.
15. Regarding the "Evaluation of the Sustainable Control of Major Insect Pests", the Group appreciates the Agency's continuous efforts to support TC projects providing training, expert services and equipment to combat insect pests.
16. The Group concurs with recommendations contained in Annex 3, aimed at, inter alia: assure that farmers adopt nuclear pest management techniques, overcome language-related difficulties in project design, increase the provision of training on data and statistic analysis and improve the share of information on sterile insect technique projects to identify best practices to be replicated.
17. Finally, regarding Annex 4, the Group takes note of the responses of the clients to the recommendations of the OIOS. The Group believes that responses and feedback of the party being evaluated should not be ignored and should be considered by the OIOS for the purpose of reassessing its recommendations. This is particularly important, specially considering that, as stated already by the Group, the evaluated party is not given the opportunity to provide feedback on the findings prior to the release of the report.
18. At the same time, while taking note that this year the implementation rate of the recommendations of the OIOS is significantly higher than the previous year's figures, the Group would like to reiterate its principle position that recommendations should not be implemented without consultation with Member States.
19. With these comments, the Group of 77 and China takes note of the evaluation of technical cooperation activities in 2011, as contained in document GOV/2011/62, and requests that its views and comments be duly reflected in the official records of the TACC meeting.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

For William Coalter life is difficult at the moment. In January of this year he lost his daughter, Lorna, who died four days after attempting to take her own life. Last week Mr. Coalter, along with family and friends completed a walk in Slieve Donard to raise funds for the Ernevale Beacon Centre in Enniskillen. The centre provides support services for people experiencing mental illness and was a favourite place of Lorna's, who was 32 when she died.
Speaking to The Impartial Reporter this week Mr. Coalter has opened up about the impact that his daughter's death has had on his life.
"I have to be honest I am struggling a lot with wee Lorna's death. I never thought I would see the day that I would need to be on anti-depressants but I am now, and I am not ashamed to say it. I was a happy go lucky person, but one thing can change your life and that is what has happened to me. It is so important to say if you are struggling, nobody should be ashamed of it and you need to ask for help," he explained before going on to speak about how his faith is also helping him through this dark period in his life.
"My faith is strong in the Lord. It is a difficult time for everyone but I know that Lorna would want her friends and family to give their life to the Lord. She had a very strong faith and I know that she is in a good place now."
With friends and family by his side Mr. Coalter made the long walk up Slieve Donard. Decorating stones in the memory of Lorna and releasing balloons with scripture and messages, they paused at the top to pray and take time to remember Lorna.
One of the balloons read: "Eye has not seen nor ear heard what God has prepared for those who love him".
"It was a very tough walk, none of us are walkers but we made it anyway. I am so thankful for my family and friends who came with me on the walk. I wasn't expecting that and I am so thankful for the support that they have shown me," Mr. Coalter explained.
"I know that Lorna would want her friends and family to give their life to the Lord."Mr. Coalter is still collecting money in aid of the Beacon centre. At the time of going to press over £3,000 had been raised in Lorna's memory.
"Not a lot of people knew that I was doing the walk so if anyone wants to give some money it is for a great cause. The Beacon Centre are fantastic and Lorna thought so much of the place. She used to upcycle furniture there and it is just a fantastic place that does so much good."
Lorna died in January of this year, with her family gathered around her bedside in the South West Acute Hospital. Through tears they sang 'Amazing Grace', one of her favourite hymns as she passed away.

gout sufferers
report the following benefits when undergoing acupressure: - Pain relief, - Reduced inflammation - Increased circulation
There are many natural products available in the market. Incorporate flax seed or omega 3 oil into your diet to help reduce inflammation and tissue damage. Burdock root can help rid the body of acidic waste build up and help supports normal uric acid levels in the body.
Those people who have had multiple attacks or developed tophi or kidney stones should stabilize uric acid level in the blood. Probenecid is an important drug, which helps the kidney, eliminate uric acid. Another drug called Alopurinol is used to block the excess production of uric acid by the body. The drug of choice between these types of drugs depends upon the quantity of uric acid excreted through urine.
Red clover in capsule form is usually taken in doses of 50mg to 150mg daily. If the capsules are red clover isoflavone extracts, then 28mg to 85mg is the normal daily dose. This means that two to three capsules will likely be required. For individual dosage instruction speak to a doctor.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar-
Apple cider vinegar both ingested and applied topically can help treat gout symptoms. In a glass, combine two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with two teaspoons of raw honey and drink once daily. The vinegar will balance your pH levels to lower your uric acid levels. Topically, combine one cup of vinegar with 3 cups of water and soak your toe.
- Teas - Tinctures - Capsules - Tablets - Liquid extracts - Isoflaven standardized extracts - Topical ointments When taken as tea, simply use one to two teaspoons of dried red clover flowers in a mug (8 ounces) of hot water; two to three cups should be taken daily. Or, red clover extract can be mixed into a regular cup of tea.

1.12 glasses of water-
Believe it or not, water can greatly assist in the prevention and treatment of formation of uric acid crystals. In addition, it can help your body to more effectively eliminate the crystals once they have formed.
However, if you'd rather use a method that is not based on pharmaceuticals as a pain relief
treatment, then you may wish to look into alternative and complimentary remedies such as acupressure.
When the body becomes ill or is injured, an imbalance to the Qi occurs. Acupressure can manipulate the flow of the Qi, directing energy to the imbalanced area so that better healing can be achieved. This can be very effective for releasing muscular tension and increasing blood flow to needy parts of the body - an essential part of pain relief
success. Once the energy allows healing to accelerate, the balance of the body can be restored.
There is no cure for gout, but it can be controlled and treated. Usually, the pain associated with gout will subside within 24 hours after treatment has begun. The main objectives of treatment are pain relieving and prevent future attacks of gout.
Before taking red clover, be sure to speak to your health specialist, as you should before taking any new herb or supplement. As a
herbal medicine, red clover is available in many different forms. These include:
Alcoholic beverages should not exceed 3 ounces per day. Reduce or eliminate the purine-containing foods such as organ meats (sweet breads, liver, and kidneys), shrimp, sardines, dried legumes, and anchovies.
Red clover has been used traditionally as
herbal medicine for centuries due to its ability to remove toxins from the body. However, using red clover isn't without its side effects. Scientists are now seeing that red clover thins the blood, so it should not be taken without the guidance of a doctor or other health professional. If you are already on anticoagulant medicine, red clover should not be used.
Be aware of the possible side effects of gout herbal medicine made with red clover. General side effects can include nausea, headache, and rash. Infertility has also been witnessed in animals that graze on red clover patches. For more information please speak to a health professional.
Between acupressure sessions, many people choose pain relief
herbal remedies to help the healing process along and treat attacks. Some of the natural treatments that are gaining some attention lately include Juniper berries.
Essentially, Acupressure is based on the belief that there are around 2000 different points on the body that can be manipulated in order to affect the energy flow of the body. Each of the points is located on one of the body's 20 different meridians - the lines along which the energy flows. This energy - also known as Qi - flows between the surface of the body (where the acupressure points are located) inside until it reaches through the internal organs. Manipulating the flow of the Qi by using the pressure points can help a person to achieve an improved balance throughout the body and mind.

Before beginning any therapy, it is wise to speak to your doctor, since you will need to make sure that there isn't any existing condition that would stop you from practicing an alternative therapy such as acupressure.
Red clover tincture should be thirty percent alcohol (1:5), and is taken in hot water as a tea with usually between sixty to one hundred drops (3 to 5 mL), three times every day.
The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are also used to treat gout, which does not have the side effects of colhicine. Indomethacin is a widely used NSAID in the treatment of
. Patients should avoid Aspirin and aspirin-containing products during the attack of gout.
2. Supplements-
Many of our customers have found success in supplements. For instance, Vitamin C is the wonder vitamin. Because it lowers uric acid levels, vitamin C can be used for prevention as well as during an acute
attack. During a
attack, 1,000 mg per hour is helpful. For prevention, 500-3,000 mg daily would work.
For instance, with high blood pressure you eliminate salts and watch your diet which will decrease plaque build up. And the same thing goes with
For a direct topical treatment, red clover ointment or cream can be applied directly to the affected area. However, take care not to apply to any area where there is broken skin.
Colchicine is a traditional drug used since the 1800's as a treatment for
. Although Colhicine produces desirable results, it does have side effects of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
The properties within red clover that make it an effective
herbal medicine are isoflavones. The isoflavones levels in red clover are 100 times higher than those of soy. This helps to heal inflammatory conditions, including
, but also arthritis and eczema.
- Reduced tension - Better relaxation - Reduced stress - Improved mental health Acupressure for
pain relief is best administered by a trained professional who will use gentle, yet firm pressure to the correct points on the body, using a knuckle, finger, or thumb. This pressure is held for between fifteen and thirty seconds. It usually feels like quick, jolting sensation that is immediately followed by numbness or a tingling that then dissipates over time. Once the pressure is released, most people feel some immediate pain relief.

Staff Report
OSWEGO – During Monday night's Common Council meeting, Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow recapped the first year of his administration, outlining several accomplishments and examples of success over the last 12 months.
The mayor spoke specifically to winning the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative from Governor Andrew Cuomo, accounting for a large portion of the almost $16 million the city secured in grant funding in 2016 alone.
"The biggest accomplishment, I believe, is securing the $10 million and winning the DRI competition from Governor Andrew Cuomo. We worked tirelessly to win the DRI grant and truly believe it will provide Oswego with the necessary tools to energize downtown Oswego and help revive our community," Mayor Barlow told Oswego County Today. "I'm, extremely proud of all the effort, hard work and creativity that went into that application and must thank my department heads who work with me day in and day out to execute the vision I have for our community!"
The mayor also touched on securing grant money and creating new ways to raise revenue to stabilize the city water and sewer rates.
As per his campaign promise, he worked on resurrecting a brand new code enforcement office to hold negligent landlords accountable.
"There are a handful of landlords with no regard for the appearance of their properties," he said.
This year, they also streamlined the building and permitting process for developers and small business owners. The number of permits issued this year has increased over last year's total, the mayor noted.
And, during the summer months, they executed an $850,000 paving plan throughout the city of Oswego, he added.
"2016 will forever be an unforgettable year for the city of Oswego as the new administration took office, laid out a plan and went to work. We pursued and successfully secured a significant amount of grant money, confronted many different problems that have plagued the city for years, closed a $1 million budget deficit to pass a unanimous on- time budget, stood up to negligent city landlords by ramping up our neighborhood code efforts, invested in our municipal buildings and city equipment, and brought an economic development emphasis to the city's community development office," said Mayor Barlow.
The city took advantage of several funding opportunities to help boost economic development, the mayor said.
Oswego also will capitalize on its most under-utilized but most valuable resources, its waterfront, Barlow pointed out.
"My administration tackled many problems and addressed issues that existed for 30 years or more in the city of Oswego. We were proactive, hard-charging, productive and effective throughout our first year in office, and I must thank my department heads, all city employees and the common council for supporting and executing the vision I have for our community," the mayor said. "We took on several controversial issues and stood strong, and because of making changes and being aggressive, you can see the improvements in City Hall, in our neighborhoods, on the streets and all throughout the city."
The police department has been very busy.
"It is also worth mentioning that the overtime for the police department is $106,000 less this year than it was at this time last year," the mayor said.
Mayor Barlow also mentioned other initiatives conquered throughout the year including the creation of an Anti-Poverty Steering Committee, lower overtime budgets, a new city website, the establishment of a bi-partisan city ethics board, creating and executing a five-year city-wide capital investment plan and addressing the road collapse on State Route 48 and securing funds to pay for the new construction.
"2016 was undoubtedly a turning point for the city of Oswego. We have a massive amount of momentum and positivity in the community and we will continue to charge ahead, face the tough issues and produce results for our city residents, who deserve the best from their local government," the mayor said.
The mayor said he is looking forward to better stuff in the next three years.
He said he was thankful for all the help the councilors have provided during the year; they work with him to move the city forward instead of playing politics, he added.
"I appreciate and value each of you," he said.

I found out in late April I believe if not May that I have hypothyroidism. I started taking medication right away, but when I was tested at my doctors office during pregnancy, my numbers were still too high and my dosage needed to be changed. I haven't been tested again since so I'm not sure sure where I'm at. For me, the hardest part is remembering to take the medicine so I just recently bought one of those weekly pill boxes. I won't lie though, I eat before the 30 minute time frame is up of when I'm not suppose to eat (you're suppose to take the pills 30 minutes before eating with water only). I just don't have time to wait with my hectic mornings. Not sure if that really has any effect or not either.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 10 weeks with first ob appt blood work. It was only 5.5 and normal is 3. I was told even 5.5 is not that high normally but during pregnancy they like it under 3. My ob sent me to my PCP to be put on levothyroxine and have been on the lowest dose for a month.I go for a re check next week. I was nervous at first but my PCP put me at ease and said normally she sees people much higher and often its women going through fertility treatments that have to monitor their levels much closer. Hope this helps!
I have had it my entire life - and on my third pregnancy. My TSH has been as high has 23 u medicated and below 1 while medicated.
With my first, I didn't medicate at all. She went full term, was a normal baby in all regards hitting all milestones, and is an intelligent 13 year old in the National Junior Honor society now.
My second, I was very particular and made sure my levels were well within range throughout. I did everything perfectly. And, for unknown reasons, my water broke at 30 weeks. He's fine now and thriving at 2 years old.
With this pregnancy, I got pregnant earlier than expected; because I was still breastfeeding and hadn't had a period yet. I was super paranoid about taking thyroid meds and passing it through my breastmilk. So, I was unmedicated when I got pregnant. I asked my OB for a thyroid panel; because I knew it would be low based on that. But, it wasn't something he initiated. Sure enough, my TSH came back at 12. So, I am back on Synthroid. My OB was concerned but not extremely, saying that the biggest hurdle is just getting pregnant with your thyroid is under active. No problem for us there!
Before seeing an endocrinologist several years ago, my PCP treated it and my levels bounced around unpredictably. It seemed impossible to ever get on top of it. When I saw an endocrinologist, I was taking the highest dosage made of the medication and yet my TSH levels were also at their highest. Then, I was given advice by the endocrinologist and it has made all of the difference in getting my levels quickly within range while pregnant or not:
-take Synthroid, not a generic; the generics are not as predictable in terms of dosage and the amount of thyroid hormone can vary from lot to lot; small variations can cause big swings in your levels (I had been taking levothyroxine, the generic)
-always take it on an empty stomach and wait an hour before eating; I usually do this when my bladder wakes me up in the wee hours because that will give me plenty of time before I get up for the day and am ready to eat; you can take it with water but nothing else including coffee or juice, though I rarely take it with water (I had been taking with my coffee and not waiting to eat)
-if you skip a dose, you can double up the next day
-take it at least 4 hours apart from your vitamins, which can block the absorption (I had been taking everything together)
-get checked every 3-4 weeks during pregnancy because dosage adjustments are commonly needed (the frequency is a pain in the butt; so I try to schedule for my lunch breaks and avoid having to take the time off)
It took me a decade before anyone told me these things. I know if you are serious about doing these things you'll be as successful at bringing it down as I have been! But, I shared my pregnancy stories just to hopefully reassure you that just because you haven't known or medicated up to this point, it doesn't mean there will be a problem. And, you can do everything to the letter like I did last time and still have issues. So, try not to stress yourself!
my thyroid levels always come back normal but I have a goiter so the OB set me up to see an endocrinologist but I had to cancel. I have always thought I had hypothyroidism but everytime my levels are checked they come back perfect so the doctors don't look any further but I'm going to reschedule my appointment.
I'm in the same boat. I had my thyroid removed 19 years ago and have been on generic synthroid ever since. I had to beg my OB to check my levels, but once he did, I was upped to 125 when my number came back at 5.4. I too am scared for all the time I was high during my first trimester. Hoping we can get this under Controll quickly! Good luck!

The closest thing is the dropins support in p2, but that is not a good comparison since felix fileinstall is a small single bundle. p2 dropins support is just a part of the whole p2 "engine" and requires a fair bit of the p2 "engine" to function.Yeah, that's too heavy for my needs.
I would be curious to know what exceptions you are seeing with felix.fileinstall. Perhaps it indicates an equinox framework bug we should fix. Please open a bug against Equinox->Framework if you think it could be. I would like to make sure the felix.fileinstall works on Equinox.This the thing. I'm not even sure it's a bug, or simply something in my env that is causing it.Here is the logged exception:org.osgi.framework.BundleException: State change in progress for bundle "file:/home/rotty/apache-tomcat-7.0.23-trunk/repositories/osgi/data/framework/lib/web-extender-spi.jar" by thread "fileinstall-/home/rotty/apache-tomcat-7.0.23-trunk/repositories/osgi/data/framework/lib".at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.beginStateChange(AbstractBundle.java:1088)at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.PackageAdminImpl.suspendBundle(PackageAdminImpl.java:330)at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.PackageAdminImpl.processDelta(PackageAdminImpl.java:467)at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.PackageAdminImpl.doResolveBundles(PackageAdminImpl.java:251)at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.PackageAdminImpl$1.run(PackageAdminImpl.java:174)at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:679)Caused by: org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle$BundleStatusException... 6 moreIt seems that the package resolver thread is reacting to the new bundle while the fileinstall thread is still deploying it. I'm not sure who's at fault; fileinstall or equinox (of something else).
