The languages of its products
Almost all UN information resources are available in English. The exceptions include more than 100 monographs issued in Spanish each year by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). Many UN publications are available in only English and French, or English, French, and Spanish.
UN policy mandates that all masthead documents and Official Records be issued in the United Nations' official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. However, the UN has fallen short of this ideal.
Copyright/public domain
All sales publications are protected by copyright. Masthead documents and Official Records are in the public domain.
Indexes to UN publications
- United Nations Bibliographic Information System (UNBIS):
UNBISNet is, in effect, the catalog of the Dag Hammarskjöld Library at UN Headquarters. Unfortunately, many of the Library's holdings—particularly those issued before 1980—are not represented in this database. UNBIS records for masthead documents and Official Records frequently provide links to full-text documents in the Official Document System (ODS) of the United Nations.
- AccessUN:
AccessUN, a product of Readex, contains records for thousands of items not represented in UNBIS or ODS.
The UN Publications main page includes a link to a customized e-mail notification service providing announcements of new titles. Click on Subscribe to our E-news in the left sidebar.
- UN depository libraries may receive a 25 percent discount on all nondepository publications and databases they order or subscribe to. However, this applies only to purchases made using a single, designated account. It publications are ordered using any other account, UN Publications will charge the full price for those items.
- All orders must include sales publication numbers.
- The search function on the UN Publications site requires exact matches in all instances. This applies even to punctuation. For example, while there are several matches for 'earth's living', there is none for 'earths living'.
Does the UN explicitly state how long electronic documents remain on its web site?
All masthead documents and Official Records will remain in ODS permanently. There is no policy on the retention of web pages and digital sales publications that can be accessed on various UN sites.
Preservation/digital archiving program
Official Document System (ODS) is the UN's digital archive for masthead documents and Official Records.
From their web site: "ODS covers all types of official United Nations documentation, beginning in 1993. Older UN documents are, however, added to the system on a daily basis. ODS also provides access to the resolutions of the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council and the Trusteeship Council from 1946 onwards. The system does not contain press releases, UN sales publications, the United Nations Treaty Series or information brochures issued by the Department of Public Information."
ODS is free!

Bot teams are teams that do not have a human manager. While bots, they do not buy or sell players, train, nor place match orders. Bot teams will field a full team in each game. When they reach the lowest two divisions of a league, they may get a new human owner. This can happen at any time during the season and when it does, the bot team will change name and receive a completely new squad of players.

Grayson Perry
Standard edition also available. Click here.
Since winning the Turner Prize in 2003, and his recent triumphant exhibition at the centre of the UK art establishment, The British Museum, Grayson Perry seems doomed to become "a national treasure". "They're preparing the embroidered slippers," he remarks.
The first trade publication of this frenetic graphic novel, originally issued as a private publication in 1992, may well cause some recoil among his more unquestioning enthusiasts. Perry has never been afraid to confront his inner drives, and when this book first appeared he wrote:
When I was 12 or 13 I drew a series of short comic-strip adventures featuring an idealised male hero called Riff-Raf. As the hormones of puberty flooded through me these boy's-own tales became increasing kinky, involving much cross-dressing and bondage. Sadly these live frontline reports from my teenage subconscious were lost in the upheavals of family dysfunction. When I became a father myself I revisited the genre with perhaps a more jaundiced and mischievous eye to create the Cycle of Violence.
This edition has a new foreword by the artist.

The library of the Kunsthaus Zürich offers comprehensive information for all, who are interested in modern art. It is a library for users, which provides current as well as historical specialist literature. Most of the media can be borrowed home.
As a special library for modern art the library acquires publications in the history of art from the 19th to the 21st century. As modern art itself, the literature in art history is international, but Swiss art and art historical publications from Switzerland don't get a raw deal.
Most of the books and journals in the library are written in German, English, French or Italian, but there are also publications in other languages.
Many publications contain numerous illustrations, often in color and in high quality.

Moving Data and Address Arithmetic
Last week, I observed that an important reason for moving data in C++ programs, rather than copying it, is to be able to implement types such as
vector efficiently. Such types use the fact that a computer's memory addresses are numbers, and those numbers can be the results of computation. For example, the C++ standard guarantees that all of the elements of a
vector are stored in contiguous memory locations. This property makes it possible to locate any
vector element quickly from its index once the program knows the location and index of any other element.
If a data structure uses address arithmetic to determine the location of its data, then from time to time programs will almost surely find it necessary to put data at a particular place in memory — namely, at the address that is the result of a particular computation. If that location is already occupied, then the program must move data around so that that location is no longer occupied. For example, if a
vector is currently stored in n contiguous chunks of memory, and the program wants to append an n+1st element to the
vector, that element must wind up in the memory immediately following the nth element. If something else occupies that, then either that something else must move, or the program must reallocate the entire
A program can often avoid address arithmetic by using pointers. Instead of storing data in contiguous memory, such a program typically stores the address of each piece of data along with one or more of its neighbors. It is possible to implement such a data structure without caring at all about the memory addresses at which its elements are stored. However, storing an element's address only with its neighbors often implies that there is no quick way to jump from one place in the data structure to another place that is not a neighbor. In an odd reversal of interface and implementation, data structures that store their elements consecutively make random access easier, while data structures that store their elements in random locations support only sequential access.
Programs that don't care about the addresses of their data rarely need to move those data. After all, we can view the whole point of moving an object as a way of changing the object's address without changing its contents; if we don't care what the address is, we don't need to change it. As a result, C++ library data structures such as
list do not need to be able to move their elements once those elements have been created.
The tradeoff between moving data to appropriate addresses and using pointers to keep track of data in arbitrary locations is one of the fundamental tradeoffs that influences programmers' choice of data structures. The C++ library offers two extremes and a compromise, which, like most compromises, combines advantages and disadvantages of both of the extremes.
One extreme is
vector. All of a
vector's elements are always contiguous, so accessing the nth element takes the same amount of time for all values of n. Maintaining this contiguous data structure requires reallocating all of the
vector's elements whenever there is no room for a new element.
The other extreme is
list. You can think of each element of a
list as being totally independent from all others and coupled with pointers to its immediate neighbors. As a result, the library never needs to move
list elements once they are created, not even to append new elements to a
list. On the other hand, locating the nth element of a list typically requires n pointer operations. Moreover, each element has at least a couple of pointers' worth of space overhead, which implies that
lists can waste quite a bit of memory unless the
list elements themselves are large.
The compromise data structure,
deque, often gets glossed over in descriptions of the C++ library. It is typically implemented as a collection of chunks, which are
vector-like data structures, together with an auxiliary data structure that makes it possible to find the right chunk quickly. A
deque is almost surely harder to implement than either
list or
vector. However, from a user's viewpoint, it combines some nice properties of the two data structures.
For example, as with
list, you can append elements to a
deque at either end, not just at one end. Moreover, doing so does not require reallocating the
deque's already existing elements. As with
vector, you can access a
deque's elements efficiently in random order. Moreover,
deque does not have nearly the space overhead per element that
list does.
Because of these properties, some writers have suggested using
deque whenever there is no obvious reason to choose a different data structure. This advice leads naturally to the question of what some of those reasons might be.
One such reason is that like
vector and unlike
deque does not support fast insertion and deletion in the middle. Indeed, although
list never requires moving elements around,
deque will do so for insertions and deletions anywhere but at the ends of the structure. Compared with
vector, a
deque will typically have more overhead for
vector-like operations such as incrementing and decrementing iterators, accessing elements, and so on. Moreover, in addition to fast insertion and deletion,
list has specialized operations for transferring elements from one
list object to another without moving the elements themselves. Because
deque uses address arithmetic to support random access, it sometimes needs to move elements to other memory locations, something that
list never needs to do.
Because moving data is so tied up with address arithmetic, programs that avoid address arithmetic can often avoid moving data. In fact, it is possible to write programs that never change the contents of memory once they have put something there in the first place. Such programs can have surprising properties: Programmers have to jump through some unusual hoops in order to write them, but there are some kinds of reliability and security problems that become much less likely. Next week, I'll continue this discussion with some examples of such programs and programming techniques.

Baring a new Brand world
By Ryan Vaillancourt
April 12, 2008
A recent revelation that Leslie Combs Brand, the so-called Father of Glendale, probably fathered two children with a secret mistress came as a shock to many, but local history enthusiasts are downright delighted. Longtime Los Angeles Times columnist Cecilia Rasmussen, who concluded her "L.A. Then and Now" history column with the piece on Brand on April 6, backed up her scoop with a DNA test that linked Brand to a descendant of his alleged mistress, Birdie Esther Carpenter Gordon.
Jessup established Glendale family dairy in 1919
July 10, 2004
KATHERINE YAMADA Jessup Certified Farms, established in 1919 by Roger W. Jessup with just 40 cows, brought acclaim to Glendale as one of the largest individually owned dairies in the United States. By the 1960s, more than 1,200 cows were milked twice a day on the 27-acre dairy. Jessup was a young man living in Salt Lake City, working at a newspaper and raising a few cattle on the side, when he met and fell in love with Marguerite Rice, who had just spent the winter in San Diego with an aunt and uncle.

Employers can't go breaking their promises at will
October 1, 2004
CHARLES J. UNGER A promise is a promise. Those famous words were spoken by the King of Siam to the Julie Andrews character in "The King and I." Ms. Andrews' character had come to Siam in her capacity as an educator -- they were called teachers back then -- to instruct the children of Siam. Later in the musical, a discussion takes place as to whether the King of Siam will build the teacher a home, which was part of her original deal. The king, played by the inimitable Yul Brynner, uttered the previously mentioned quote.
Chamlian wins big in science competition
April 24, 2001
Alecia Foster LA CRESCENTA -- Areg Hayrapetian's eyes lit up as he explained his science project: "The Effect of the Number of Divisions on the Accuracy of the Area." It's a mouthful to say and a bit complicated to explain but Hayrapetian did so with ease. "I like mathematics," he said with a smile. The seventh-grader was one of four students at Chamlian Armenian School who won in the 51st annual Los Angeles County Science Fair. Hayrapetian took third place in mathematics, while Maral Der Sarkissian took first in chemistry, Shant Krikorian took first in physics and astronomy, and Lara Injeyan captured first in engineering research.
Police seize several pounds of marijuana from alleged dealer
February 4, 2004
Nearly 60 pounds of marijuana was seized from a Studio City man who was released Tuesday after posting $100,000 bail. Police believe the man was trying to ship marijuana to the East Coast through FedEx. Glendale Police's vice/narcotics team watched Louis Adam Danhi, 28, take a large package to a FedEx location Monday in Beverly Hills. A narcotics dog later identified the box as containing marijuana, Investigator Manny Fernandez said. Detectives found 13 pounds of marijuana in the box. The officers stopped Danhi and allegedly found another 15 pounds of marijuana in his car. Detectives allegedly found another 30 pounds of marijuana in Danhi's home.
Americana condos aiming high
By Ryan Vaillancourt
April 23, 2008
DOWNTOWN — Gabriela Walsh, a Valencia resident who works in Glendale, had her heart set on buying a condo at the Americana at Brand — until she learned it would cost her more than $700,000. Americana developer Caruso Affiliated recently announced that prices for the 100 condo units in the retail, residential and entertainment megaplex will start in the "low $700,000s" and cap at more than $2 million. "That's a bit out of my range," Walsh said.
Drug arrests adding up
By Veronica Rocha
April 21, 2010
LA CRESCENTA — More than a half-dozen people in the Crescenta Valley were arrested last week in connection with drug-related offenses, Glendale police said. While the cluster of drug-related arrests was uncommon, drug issues, particularly among teens, have been a problem in the area, said North Command Lt. Ian Grimes. "It's definitely something we are asking the officers to focus on," Grimes said. In the latest arrest, police got a tip Saturday from a citizen who noticed two teens acting suspiciously at the restrooms in Glorietta Park on Verdugo Road, Grimes said.

July 14, 2008
Art class was in session Saturday, but there were no desks or whiteboards out on Honolulu Avenue, just artists showing their paintings and sharing their techniques with the public during the Montrose Art Walk and Sale. Artists are encouraged to demonstrate and talk about their techniques during the show, said Rose Gamble, administrative assistant for the Montrose Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce, which coordinates the event four times a year. "The purpose of the art walk is to bring knowledge and enrichment to the local community and to make them aware of the local artists who do beautiful artwork of the local and surrounding areas," Gamble said.
The Greggs have long history of building in Glendale
December 26, 2002
Karen S. Kim Gregg's Artistic Homes might have lost its chance to develop the Oakmont View V hillside property, but over the past 70 years, the Gregg family has built more than its fair share of Glendale. More than 3,000 homes in the city have been developed by the Greggs since Alice Lee Gregg started the business in 1934. Gregg homes are mainly in northwest and northeast Glendale and La Crescenta. "In those areas, it's hard to drive around without seeing one of our homes," Vice President Bob Gregg said.

GLENDALE — Four Armenian officers and one former officer have filed a joint lawsuit against the Glendale Police Department, alleging years of discrimination, derogatory comments and harassment because of their race. Officers John Balian and Robert Parseghian; Sgts. Vahak Mardikian and Tigran Topadzhikyan; and former Officer Benny Simonzad filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court on Wednesday, alleging myriad on-the-job discrimination and harassment incidents. When confronted with complaints of the discrimination, command staff failed to respond, according to the federal lawsuit.

Apple's Macintosh computers rely on processors from chipmaking giant Intel – just like the vast majority of the world's PCs, notebooks, and servers. However, Apple's iOS device line, such as the iPhone, iPads, and iPod touch, rely on processors based on designs from ARM. These chips aren't as fast or powerful as mainstream Intel processors, but they're cheaper and they consume far less power, making them ideal for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
Now, Bloomberg is citing three unidentified sources saying Apple is seriously investigating shifting Macs from Intel to ARM chips, and new developments from ARM are adding fuel to the fire.
Could Apple move Macs away from Intel to ARM-based processors? What hurdles would Apple face, and how would ARM-based Macs stack up?
Here we go again
With the original iPad back in 2010, Apple revealed it was designing its own ARM processors rather than relying on chips designed by Samsung or other manufacturers. (That first chip was the Apple A4, which quickly moved to power the iPhone 4 as well.) With Apple designing its own chips, speculation immediately mounted that the company might one day move its Macintosh computers away from Intel to its own ARM-based processors. After all, it wouldn't be the first time Apple has changed the Mac's processor architecture. Apple has already shifted the Mac's processor architecture three times: from Motorola 68000s, to PowerPC, and then to Intel. If there's a company with experience managing these transitions, it's Apple. And each time Apple has unveiled a new processor, that speculation has started anew.
What's different this time around?
ARM 64-bit architecture
Current ARM-based chip designs use 32-bit architectures. For now, that's ample for most mobile and tablet applications, but one significant ramification for desktop computing is that these processors can only handle about 4GB of memory. Macs today ship with a minimum of 4GB of RAM, and many ship with 8GB, so using a 32-bit architecture just isn't feasible for today's desktop computers. However, last week ARM Holdings took the wraps off its Cortex-A50 series, the first ARM processors designs with a 64-bit architecture. (One of them also can claim the title as the world's smallest 64-bit processor.) Suddenly, managing the amount of memory common in today's desktop computers—and even high-end servers and workstations—is within reach.
ARM doesn't make chips; it designs then, and licenses those designs to companies like Samsung, Qualcomm, and (of course) Apple. It will take time for firms to implement 64-bit designs of their own. Nobody is expecting 64-bit ARM chips to be a reality on the market for another year or 18 months. But the market is no longer holding its breath for ARM to release 64-bit designs: now, the work can begin.
It's also worth noting Apple's relationship with ARM is much older than its relationship with Intel. It goes all the way back to the 1980s, and Apple collaborated in early stages of ARM processor development. That resulted in Apple owning a over 40 percent of ARM, and that stake helped Apple weather its mid-1990s death spiral as it repeatedly padded its bottom line by selling ARM shares to lower its losses.
Apple is getting results
Apple's work to design its own processors isn't just a vanity project: It's about getting performance and capabilities that can't be matched by other mobile device makers using stock parts. Apple has invested heavily in acquiring chip design expertise (in part through the acquisition of PA Semi and Intrinsity. Apple has consistently been increasing the clock speed of its processor and graphics cores and getting improvements through architectural adjustments. Unveiling the latest iPad, Apple also revealed its latest A6X processor was laid out by hand, rather than trusting the details to CAD tools. The company is clearly willing to sweat the details and design processors that specifically support things like its Retina displays without sacrificing battery life compared to previous, lower-powered products. That expertise can directly translate to notebook and desktop PC designs.
New Technology group
Part of Apple's recent executive shakeup (which saw the ouster of iOS chief Scott Forstall) was the creation of a new Technologies unit under Bob Mansfield, including Apple's semiconductor teams, described as having "ambitious plans for the future." Although the Technologies group is tasks with unifying all of Apple's wireless efforts, as VP of Mac Hardware Engineering, Mansfield oversaw the development of things like Apple's iMac and MacBook lines. While the industrial design of Macs remains the province of Jonathan Ive, actually getting them built still seems to fall on Mansfield's shoulders, in addition to being in charge of chips.
Thinner and lighter
When Apple introduced the MacBook Air back in 2008, it was deemed almost impossibly thin, and the line continues to set the bar for ultraportable notebooks. Apple built the original MacBook Air using a custom Intel processor; one of the reasons Apple was able to beat other PC makers to the super-slim form factor was that it wasn't using off-the-shelf parts. Apple has continued to demonstrate with the Retina MacBook Pros, ongoing MacBook Air line, and the latest iMac that its obsession with thin-and-light computer designs continues unabated. Although Intel has acknowledged Apple has has provided valuable input into its chip designs, Intel is not making custom processors for Apple, which poses a problem moving forward. It will be difficult for Apple to keep its PC products in front of the rest of the market if it's forced to use the same off-the-shelf processors as everyone else. Design considerations alone might be incentive to Apple to start seriously looking at alternatives to Intel.
Would OS X run on ARM?
Apple bringing its OS X operating system to ARM might seem like the equivalent of Microsoft bringing Windows 8 to ARM devices in the form of Windows RT: a potential seismic shift in the product landscape. However, Apple has a head start. Its iOS operating system is based on Mac OS X, meaning the two share a large number of core technologies. Much of the groundwork for running OS X on an ARM chip already exists, and there's long been speculation Apple has been bringing up most of OS X on ARM systems for years just as a proof of concept.
A bigger question is how well OS X would run on ARM processors: Would it deliver a reasonable desktop experience? By some benchmarks, the A6 processor Apple uses in the iPhone 5 already substantially outperforms any PowerPC notebook Apple ever made, and the A6X in the latest iPad scores even higher. And with the power available in notebooks and desktop computers (as opposed to phones and tablets), Apple could push the processors to significantly higher clockspeeds. Apple could also improve performance and keep heat levels down by adding more processor cores. That would increase the cost of each processor, but Apple's chips are so much less expensive than Intel's mainstream CPUs that Apple could afford to eat a bit of expense there.
(Doubt that? Intel's published price lists (PDF) run from $117 for a low-end Core i3 chip to $999 for a high-end Core i7. Bulk customers like Apple, Dell, Lenovo, and HP presumably get a significant discount, but the contrast is stunning: iSuppli estimates Apple pays under $20 for its A6 processor.)
Given how many people find Apple's iOS devices totally acceptable for lightweight gaming, Web browsing, email, managing photos and entertainment like movies and music, it's fair to guess hypothetical ARM-based Macs would be able to meet those same sorts of needs easily. On consumer notebooks and desktop systems, the real performance constraints are usually memory, storage, and networks, not the processor.
However, once one gets beyond mainstream computing needs, ARM chips aren't going to be able to stand up to Intel in the foreseeable future. That means folks who rely on their Macs for content creation, high-end gaming, software development, and compute-intensive applications like large databases, software development, real-time digital signal processing (think musicians and DJs), would suffer from a switch to ARM processors. These are the same users who purchase Apple's highest-priced, highest-margin Macintosh computers and constitute many of Apple's most loyal and lucrative Macintosh customers. It seems unlikely Apple would kick them to the curb, so if Apple does move Macs to ARM-based processors, higher-end Macs are likely to stay with Intel.
Barriers to OS X on ARM
This doesn't mean making OS X practical on ARM chips would be a cakewalk. Assuming Apple can indeed overcome possible performance hurdles with its own 64-bit designs down the road. Other barriers include:
Backward compatibility
Just as Windows RT can't run old Windows software, a hypothetical ARM-based Mac wouldn't be able to run old OS X software. In the past, Apple has always provided an emulation layer that let old software continue to run, albeit slower. Apple's cleanest transition was from PowerPC to Intel: Its Rosetta PowerPC emulators let Mac users transition the vast majority of their existing PowerPC software to their new Intel Macs without batting an eye, letting them continue to use their software, then upgrade to new Intel versions over time.
It's not clear that Apple could manage a transition from Intel to ARM so easily. Russia's Elbrus Technologies recently announced an x86 emulator for ARM that can let ARM chips run software compiled for Intel processors, but it can only deliver about 40 percent of the ARM processor's performance through emulation. Elbrus thinks it can bring that level up to 80 percent by the end of 2014, but considering ARM chips are already slower to begin with, that may still mean sluggish performance. The alternative is Microsoft's approach: Bar legacy software outright.
A desktop version of iOS?
The Mac used to be Apple's market-leading product… but then it was eclipsed by the iPod, and then by the iPhone, and then by the iPad. Where Apple customers used to come to iOS devices with a knowledge of Mac OS X, now it's much more likely Apple customers come to the Mac after getting into the Apple ecosystem on an iOS device. Apple's "back to the Mac" emphasis in Lion and Mountain Lion is about taking elements of iOS and taking them back to OS X so iOS users feel more at home. The Mac App Store, Notifications, and full-screen mode all arose from this effort.
If Apple can't support legacy Intel apps, would it make sense to essentially make a version of iOS for the desktop? It have the advantage of being instantly familiar to millions of existing iOS users, with hundreds of thousands of existing apps available on launch day. However, apps originally designed for smartphones and tablets generally would not translate well to a notebook or desktop computer. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook was quick to criticize Microsoft for the sacrifices made by its own hybrids. Apple would also have to make some changes to iOS to match desktop users' expectations. For instance, multitasking under iOS is currently limited to a handful of tasks that can be delegated to the operating system, all in the name of power management and maximizing battery life. Many desktop users would expect more robust multitasking, without a significant impact on battery life.
What about Intel's stranglehold?
Apple likes to control its own destiny. Part of that fierce independence comes from total control of product design from the ground up, from the silicon in the chips to the finish on the case to the pixels on the screen. With its Macintosh computers, Apple doesn't control two key parts of the package: the processor and the graphics chip, which it relies on Intel and Nvidia for. If Apple were to make its own ARM processors, it would liberate Apple from dependence on Intel's rigid upgrade schedule, which controls the rest of the PC industry.
Of course, putting ARM chips into Macs – or threatening to – could simply be a clever way to exert leverage on Intel. Intel scored a tremendous public relations coup back in 2005 when Apple switched from PowerPC to Intel processors. Although Intel can certainly afford to lose Apple as a client on purely financial level, the damage to Intel's reputation could be substantial – after all, Apple is one of the most-watched and most-respected companies on the planet. Toying with the idea of a switch to ARM chips could give Apple significant negotiating chips with Intel, maybe even enough to get the chipmaking giant back to making custom processors only available to Apple, like it did with the original MacBook Air.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

Brothel Cleemarsh?
I kept her body as she straddled me, gradually reducing her pussy, just hardly wet, more than my penis, which felt larger than its 7-plus inches at that second. Having a reduced grunt she strike base and relaxed there to get a second, my fingers cupping her petite ass. The sensation, despite a rubber, was incredible. Her pussy was restricted and heat and that i could really feel it holding at my entering dick. She began rocking back again and out, milling her clit on my genital bone in order to make herself wetter. I'd been waiting around 4 many years to obtain laid and since my difficult cock was within this pussy, I could wait around not. I lifted her by her waistline and commenced sliding her on my cock. I took a second from viewing my cock slide out and in of my birthday current to appear up as she arched her back again and neck, her eyes shut and mouth somewhat open up without any audio popping out conserve an sporadic and hardly audible moan of ecstasy. She exposed her eyes and having a glint of enjoyment, seemed down at me. She leaned ahead, grown her fingers on my upper body and commenced working her ass down and up on her personal, her ft placed flat around the mattress on both aspect of me. I allow go of her waistline and moved my fingers to her little tits, squeezing them and pinching her nipples, bringing them to some hardness that may reduce glass. I modified myself somewhat and took a nipple in my oral cavity, at the same time teasing it with my tongue, slurping and after that munching on it.
She simply stored using me in a regular tempo, permitting me to obtain my (friends') money's really worth with out dashing me to some end. I drawn her body right down to me, delaying her tempo so I could really feel her tits towards my upper body. That did not final lengthy, biting my upper body to allow me know she experienced experienced sufficient. With this she rose back again up and commenced grasping my penis tight than I believed feasible together with her cunt whilst nonetheless using powerful. Lastly, she began using me furiously, driving me towards the end. Inside minutes I used to be prepared to blow up. She observed my respiration and urged me on. "Cum for me, lover! Ejaculate on, blast your stress within me!" In between her scorching speak and her pussy, I really could maintain back again not, cumming so difficult I almost handed out.

Mauritania is a country in northwest Africa. Geographically part of the Maghreb, Mauritania borders Algeria, Senegal and Mali, along with the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
Mauritania is a land about desert and ocean. It is of course no wonder that the main attractions for most tourists are the desert in Adrar and Tagant areas (around Atar), and the ocean in Banc d'Arguin (a natural reserve with dunes ending in the sea, full of millions of birds and protected by UNESCO). The Adrar is exactly how you've always imagined the Sahara as: endless ergs (dunes) and regs (rocky desert) with tabular small mountains. Most tourists stay along the west coast of the country, although there are a few beautiful sights far into the interior (rock formations in Aioun, for example). If you decide to travel off the beaten path, leave plenty of time to get around.
Mauritania is an Islamic Republic. Don't be afraid of this political status - most Mauritanians are not extremists, even if the majority of the people in the North are very conservative and quite reserved. The Southern part of the country is filled with friendly people, and they are very welcoming, if a little unused to tourists.
Travelling to Mauritania is becoming easier, with charter flights from France to Atar through the winter. Some charter flights have been canceled this past month due to security concerns. Guides and tourist agencies are quite easy to find. However, Mauritania is not connected to the international banking system. Your Visa card will not work in the local ATM. There are now international ATM's at BNP and Societe Generale in Nouakchott and Nouadhibou. Otherwise, credit cards are accepted almost nowhere. It is easy to change euros, dollars and CFA in Nouakchott, however.
The climate is characterized by extremes in temperature and by meager and irregular rainfall. Annual temperature variations are small, although diurnal variations can be extreme. The harmattan, a hot, dry, and often dust-laden wind, blows from the Sahara throughout the long dry season and is the prevailing wind, except along the narrow coastal strip, which is influenced by oceanic trade winds. Most rain falls during the short rainy season (hivernage), from July to September, and average annual precipitation varies from 500 to 600 millimeters in the far south to less than 100 millimeters in the northern two-thirds of the country.
Citizens of all Western nations need a visa to enter. Holders of West African passports do not require a visa.
As of 2009, visas for Mauritania are no longer available at on arrival at land borders, so overland travellers have to arrange them in eg. Rabat. Single entry visa fee is 37 EUR, double entry is 52 EUR. Two passport-size photos are required, as well as a copy of the information pages of your passport. Visas are available on the next day.
For most people there are no vaccinations required in Mauritania. Only ones coming from yellow fever endemic zones are required to present a vaccination certificate.
Nouakchott International Airport (IATA: NKC ICAO: GQNN) is the base for Mauritanian Airways , which flies to Paris, Dakar, Abidjan and Nouadhibou. It also receives flights from Algiers on Air Algérie and from Paris on Air France . Alternatively you can take a charter flight, which costs around €400.
No trains run between Mauritania and its neighbors.
Mauritania has open road borders with Western Sahara, Mali and Senegal. These borders are open to crossing by private motor vehicle or bicycle.
The road from The Western Sahara/Morocco enters the country near Nouadhibou. The road is paved all the way to the Moroccan border post in Fort Guerguarat, where one has to traverse about 7 kilometers of twisting, stony, but straightforward pistes to reach the Mauritanian border, where the tarred road begins again. Although the driving is simple, care should be taken not to leave the well worn pistes between the two border posts, because the area is a mine field. This danger is still present once you reach the tar on the Mauritanian side, and the area is not considered mine-free until you pass the railway line.
The crossing formalities are straightforward. Transit visas - valid for 3 days - can no longer be bought at the border, although this may change again. There is a bureau de change at the border, and a vehicle insurance office and numerous hopeful guides for making the old desert crossing down to the capital.
There are numerous pistes running across the Mauritanian border from Mali. These used to be the de facto route between the two countries, however there now exists a new tar road connecting Nara in Mali to Ayoun al Atrous in Mauritania. The border formalities in Mali are completed at various buildings around Nara town (local children will lead you to the police or customs for a small present). The Mauritanian formalities are conducted at a string of road-blocks along the border road.
An alternative land route which goes direct from Mauritania to Timbuktu, Mali is to travel the road Southeast from Néma, which is at the end of a good tarred road from Nouakchott. This dirt road continues to Bassekounou before crossing the border near Léré, Mali where it improves to a good dirt road to Niafunké and on to Timbuktu.
There is only one train line in Mauritania, linking Nouadhibou, Choum and Zouerat, but it's a tourist attraction itself. The train is said to be the longest one in the world, having over 150 cars and being over 2 kilometers long. It's used to carry iron ore from the Zouerat mine to Nouadhibou harbour.
In Mauritania there is only one passenger car, but travel in iron ore hopper is also possible (and advisable, as the passenger car is usually overcrowded and tickets are required). Ticket price is 1500 ougiyas for passenger car and travel in hopper is free. Remember to have a scarf to cover your face, as there is a lot of dust.
From Choum it's possible to get to Atar with a bush taxi. The journey could take up to eight hours if the vehicle has a breakdown.
Hassaniya Arabic is the language of the Moor majority, while other languages are spoken by Southern Black Afrians including Pulaar, Wolof, and Soninke (especially in the Guidimakha region around Selibaby). French is the second official language and is spoken by many. This is especially true near towns. In the countryside, individuals may often speak several languages but not French.
It is considered polite to say Salaam aleikum when entering a taxi, office or when greeting someone. It is the first greeting for most of the dialects spoken in the region.
Souvenirs can be bought at Marche Capital or Marche Sixieme in Nouakchott, or at tourist shops in the Adrar. Fabric will be sold in boutiques all over the country, but Kaedi is famous for its tie-dying.
In general, the quality of most Mauritanian souvenirs is not as good as one might expect. That said, you can find leather products, pipes, wooden bowls, tea pots and silver jewelry among other things (be careful with the quality of jewelry). Fabric, however, is tie-dyed by hand and can be quite beautiful. Fabric will be sold as a mulafa (veil)--usually gauzy and one piece--or as material for a boubou, with two separate pieces for a skirt and top. Fabric is sold anywhere for anything from 1500 UM to 8000 UM, depending on the fabric quality and work involved.
When buying anything in Mauritania, feel free to bargain. Sometimes the starting price will be three times the actual price. Stay friendly, but don't worry about insulting anyone by asking for a lower price.
There is a decent variety of restaurants in Nouakchott with plates from 1000 to 2500 UM. Most restaurants in the capital offer pretty much the same menu - simple pizzas, hamburgers, sandwiches, and salads. There is a string of restaurants on the road from the Stade Olympique to the French Embassy. Good ones include Pizza Lina, Cafe Liban, and Le Petit Cafe. The Sahara Cafe, on the other side of the stadium, is also a good place for pizza, sandwiches or Lebanese, and has some of the best reasonably-priced food in town. Near Marche Capitale, there is a street of sandwich shops that offer near-identical menus, the best of which is the Prince (which taxi drivers know by name).
Outside of Nouakchott, it is possible to find a hamburger in Atar. Otherwise, you are looking at local dishes: fish and rice (chebujin) in the south and rice and meat or couscous in the north. Hole in the wall restaurants can be found everywhere and serve plates from 200 to 500 UM. Mechui, or grilled sheep, is also delicious if a little more expensive. Look for carcasses hanging by the side of the road. Some fruit can be found in most regional capitals. Note that most restaurants outside of Nouakchott do not have very high sanitation standards in regards to food preparation. Since most small restaurants go under within a few years of opening, your best bet in trying to find one in a regional capital is to just ask locals for directions to whatever is nearby. Another alternative, in the absence of a restaurant, is paying a family to prepare food for you, which should be relatively inexpensive (no more than 1500 um), even if it takes a while (up to a couple hours to buy the food and prepare it).
Bottled water can be bought for 200 UM and is a good idea for anyone not accustomed to Africa.
If none of this sounds good, keep in mind that boutiques everywhere stock bread, cookies and sodas if nothing else!
Tea is usually served after a meal, but it is not included with the meal at restaurants. If you are offered tea in someone's home, it is impolite to leave until at least the second (of three) glasses. The whole process takes about an hour.
Despite being an Islamic country there are a few fun bars in the capital. Drinking can be expensive however: beers can go for about $6! There is a nightclub inside the French Embassy compound. For the non-French, try the Salamander or the trashy (but open late) Club VIP. Next door to VIP is the Casablanca, a more low-key bar with live music on the weekends. Note that it is illegal to import alcohol!
All ranges of accommodation are available, with the highest class hotels available only in Nouakchott and Atar. "Auberges" and Campsites can rent beds/mattresses for as little as 1500 ouguiya in the Adrar and Nouadhibou.
There is usually at least one hotel in the regional capitals in the rest of the country, although they can be expensive for what you are getting. If possible, make friends with a local and try to get invited to stay with their family. As long as you don't mind a)sleeping on the ground on a foam mat b)sleeping/eating near animals or c)using a latrine, you will probably end up having a nice, memorable stay.
WARNING: Foreign nationals have been kidnapped while traveling through numerous pockets of the country. Exercise caution and check your embassy or consulate's travel advisories and warnings carefully.
The area near the Western Sahara is heavily mined and travel through this area is highly unadvised. Border areas lining Algeria and Mali are notorious for banditry. The one paved road coming from Morocco is especially dangerous, being the site of recent Al Qaida kidnappings. If you must travel on this path, it is best to do so in a tight caravan. In other areas, one should avoid flaunting wealth or expensive wares. Daunting though it may seem, a bit of research and common sense will ensure a pleasant trip in Mauritania.
Check your Embassy or Consulate travel advisories carefully. Due to increasing numbers of attacks on Westerners in the past several years, most Western nations advise great caution. Resident expatriates travel between cities by day, in groups and on major routes.
For the majority of Westerners, the local water in any part of the country (including Nouakchott) is not safe to drink. Visitors should drink only bottled water if they don't have access to some type of water purifying or filtration system. The Sahara is a very dry climate. You may become dehydrated quite easily, and not be aware of it. The best rule of thumb is to be sure that you have peed three times each day, at reasonable intervals. In the hottest part of the year, this might mean drinking several liters of water each day.
Malaria is endemic in the Southern part of the country, and visitors should always use a mosquito net there. Mosquitos are less common in the dry desert in the North of the country, but exist year-round in the South, if a bit less prevalent during the dry season (December-May).
Learn Salaam alaykum and use it when greeting people. If you are a man, don't try to shake hands with a woman, and vice versa (note that some African women will not have a problem with shaking a man's hand, but it is best to not try to initiate contact, just follow their lead). You can, however, say hello and touch your hand over your heart.
Be careful to eat with your right hand, especially outside of Nouakchott where you may not be offered silverware. Like other places in the Arab world, the left hand is reserved for the bathroom. If you're left-handed... try hard.
Covering your head isn't required, but it is polite. It may cut down on the Madame ou bien Mademoiselle? question, but Westerners, especially women, will be the target of unwanted attention and minor harassment everywhere in the country. Be aware though, that many Mauritanians, both male and female, think that a direct gaze is a sexual invitation. There is even a phrase in Hassiniya, ayna m'tina, meaning strong eyes, to describe what many people feel is an agressive act. Just because you are in a foreign country doesn't mean that the men have carte blanche to be jerks, though. Calling them on their bad behavior, or pointing it out to the ever present bystanders, can often work. If you give respect, you can demand it also. The Moors respect women who stand up for themselves (even while they push you to see how far they can get).
If you are traveling with someone of the opposite sex, avoid touching in public. It's actually much more common to see two men holding hands than a woman and a man. As far as dress, the more skin you show, the more negative attention you will receive. In Nouakchott, women can wear pants, but avoid tank tops and to-the-knee skirts everywhere. Long skirts are the best choice for women. It is a good idea to cover your arms also. Pants display the crotch area and thus are also disturbing, especially to people in the countryside who aren't as used to seeing this as the city folk. Most people will be very polite, and you will not know what they are thinking.
If you are a female, there is no non-sexual reason, EVER, to go off in private with a man. If they ask you to step into an office, or back of the store, or whatever, don't. The men are aware that that is an unreasonable request, and no one would ask you for a private chat if they meant well. If you allow yourself to be alone with a man, for however brief a time, everyone will assume you had sex, and will judge you accordingly. As a weakling, not as dissolute. In fact, if you have a boyfriend, not a series of boyfriends, most people are a bit flattered. The men are pretty uninhibited, very sensual, and can be lots of fun.
If you are a LGBT visitor, do not try to be open about your sexuality to any Mauritanian. They will act very harshly to this. Also do not make any acts in public that would imply the fact that you are LGBT, Mauritania imposes the death sentence for homosexuality.
If you are white, Nasrani, Toubac and Toubab refers to you. Little kids, and sometimes rude adults, will refer to you by this name. Nasrani actually means a person from Nazareth. Since Christians follow Christ's teachings, and Christ is from Nazareth, then Christians are all honorary Nazarenes.
Beware of people who may try to take advantage of Westerners' unfailing politeness in order to try to make a sale. Be aware that in market areas, almost everyone who tries to befriend you is trying to sell you something at an inflated price. They will try many tricks to get you to buy items from them (including "giving them to you as a gift"), and a few might even accuse you of not liking Africans if you decline to look at their souvenir shop. If someone is going beyond the normal limits to bother you, it is not impolite to tell them, without question, that you are not interested. If they ask for something that you own, just say that you need it right now, and can give it to them in a month or so.
There are three operators of a GSM-Network: Mattel (excellent English website), Mauritel Mobiles and Chinguitel . Prepaid plans are available for three of them. Further Information regarding Coverage and Roaming are available from GSM-World .
For tours into the desert where no GSM-Network is available satellitephones are a good solution. Thuraya, Iridium or Inmarsat. Thuraya tends to be the cheapest and the most easy to use. The equipment is also available for rent.
Internet cafes with DSL internet can be found in Nouakchott and Nouadhibou for 200-300 UM an hour. Slower connections plauge "cybercafes" elsewhere in the country, but if you are desperate to check your email it is usually possible.

New London school board rescinds appointment of Carter as superintendent
New London — Seventy-seven days after unanimously selecting Terrence P. Carter as the city's next superintendent of schools, the Board of Education on Thursday night voted unanimously to rescind its appointment and to not ratify Carter's contract.
The board's vote came after an hour-long closed-door meeting during which it received the findings of an investigation by its attorneys that concluded that Carter misused the title of "Dr." before he completed his doctoral studies, plagiarized sections of his job application and did not disclose that he had filed for bankruptcy in 1999.
"The investigation answered many questions for us, and now we can move forward," board Vice President Elizabeth Garcia-Gonzalez said after Thursday's meeting. "I'm glad this is over and that we can move forward. We learned a lesson."
The board voted 6-0 to rescind its offer to Carter, with board member Aracelis Vazquez Haye absent when the vote was cast because she was unexpectedly called away.
Board President Margaret Mary Curtin was home due to a health issue but participated by telephone.
Other board members declined to comment after the meeting.
Carter was not present at the meeting.
Last month, just days before the board was to sign Carter's contract, media reports revealed that he had misrepresented himself — or allowed others to misrepresent him — as having a doctorate for more than five years before he completed his doctoral studies.
The Day reported that Carter has a history of defaulting on financial obligations and filed for personal bankruptcy in California in 1999 and again in Illinois in 2012, claiming more than $700,000 in liabilities.
Later, The Day reported that at least 10 paragraphs of Carter's application for the superintendent job in New London, and large portions of his cover letter, contained material apparently copied from other sources without attribution.
"We have concluded that the concerns set forth in the media are grounded in fact, and are not mere speculation, hearsay, or unfounded information from Internet searches," the board's attorneys Saranne Murray and Anthony Shannon wrote in a 20-page summary of their probe.
The board commissioned Murray and Shannon's investigation last month after meeting with Carter in closed session for more than an hour to question him about the information revealed in the newspapers.
"Although Mr. Carter did not represent on his application for employment to the New London Board of Education that he previously earned a doctorate, all credible evidence suggests that he has in the past (prior to completing the requirements for his doctorate from Lesley University) referred to himself and/or allowed himself to be referred to as 'Dr.' or 'Ph.D.,'" the attorneys wrote.
Carter also told the attorneys that while working in the corporate world, he occasionally referred to himself as a doctor and that others called him doctor for his volunteer and religious work, according to the report.
"It seems Mr. Carter considered himself a doctor prior to satisfying the degree requirements at Lesley University," the attorneys wrote.
When asked about reports in The Day that at least 10 paragraphs of Carter's application for the superintendent job in New London, and large portions of his cover letter, contained material apparently copied from other sources without attribution, Carter "admitted copying language from those sources," according to the report.
"Based on our review of Mr. Carter's application and our review of documents containing language identical to Mr. Carter's application, the evidence leads inescapably to the conclusion that these documents were sources for Mr. Carter's application," the attorneys wrote.
According to the report, Carter defended his actions by distinguishing between scholarly works that require proper citations and documents such as job applications and cover letters.
"Mr. Carter stated his belief that job applications and cover letters do not require citations or 'giving credit,'" the report says. "In addition, Mr. Carter stated that he never claimed the language or ideas he discussed were his original ideas, but merely that he had successfully relied on and implemented the concepts in his positions in Chicago."
Carter also claimed to have based his cover letter and application on a book called "Resume Writing for Educational Leaders," though the board's attorneys found no record of the book's existence.
"All of the evidence shows that Mr. Carter used large portions of language from a number of sources in his submissions ... without permission from the authors and without any citations," the attorneys wrote. "This gives the impression to the reader that Mr. Carter is describing his own ideas and accomplishments, rather than those of others. Particularly in an educational environment, this would be considered 'plagiarism.'"
Carter's attorney, Bill McCoy, said the board's investigation lacked substance and, because the board's own attorneys conducted it, was not independent.
"It reaches a conclusion that was probably presupposed and does not have the substance to back it up," McCoy said.
When asked if Carter plans to take legal action against the Board of Education, McCoy said that the decision to do so would be made exclusively by Carter.
"I'll have to confer with my client and decide," McCoy said. "But clearly he has not been treated with what I would consider fairness in this process."
McCoy, who was present when the board's lawyers interviewed Carter, also said that the report did not include the full scope of the discussion and that certain information was left out of it.
After initially denying that he had filed for bankruptcy in 1999, Carter apparently told the board's attorneys that he was reminded of the filing by his tax accountant.
"It is difficult to believe that he failed to recall this earlier bankruptcy filing," the attorneys wrote.
After the board meeting, state-appointed Special Master Steven J. Adamowski said he was "happy to see this chapter closed."
Carter was unanimously appointed by the Board of Education after a six-month nationwide search led by the Nebraska-based firm McPherson and Jacobson.
Carter, who had been working at a Chicago nonprofit that operates as an arm of Chicago Public Schools to conduct school turnarounds, was the unanimous selection of the 12-person search committee, which included all seven board members, community leaders and the heads of the teachers' and administrators' unions.
Carter also interviewed with Adamowski and state Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor, who offered his "enthusiastic concurrence" with the board's selection, according to Adamowski.
Carter was feted by the community at a catered banquet at Ocean Beach Park in early July, moved to New London and was slated to take the helm of the district on Aug. 1.
Soon thereafter, as media reports continued to uncover more about Carter's background, the state Department of Education asked Carter to withdraw himself from consideration for the New London job. He declined to do so and maintained that he was forthright in his resume and interview with the board.
The state also froze Carter's application to become a certified superintendent, pending the results of the board's investigation.
And earlier this week, Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass., did not bestow a doctoral degree in educational studies on Carter as expected, despite assurances in June from the university that Carter had completed the requirements for the degree and successfully defended his dissertation.
Carter had declined to remove his name from consideration and has not spoken publicly since the board launched its investigation.
In the coming weeks, Adamowski said Thursday, the Board of Education will discuss how it wants to proceed in finding a new superintendent. Interim Superintendent Richard Foye is under contract through the end of October.

New Smart Home for SSG Rusty Dunagan Almost Complete!
Army Staff Sergeant Rusty Dunagan lost both legs and his left arm while conducting combat operations in Afghanistan in 2010. He has overcome serious infections and endured over thirty surgeries. Later this month, Rusty will receive the keys to his new Smart Home built by the Building for America's Bravest Program.
Brewer Carpet One had the opportunity to install the flooring in Rusty's new home.
"We are so honored to participate in building this amazing home for Rusty," said Mark Holland of Brewer Carpet One.
Rusty was able to visit Brewer Carpet One to choose the flooring for his new home. Accompanied by his family and an interior designer, Rusty chose from a variety of wood and stone flooring options.
Rusty and his designer focused on hard surface flooring that would make it easier for Rusty to navigate the home. He chose and engineered hickory hardwood for most of the home which will offer durability and character to his home. He also chose a variety of beautiful tile for the bathrooms and kitchen. The flooring has been generously donated by Mohawk.
"It was very humbling and truly an honor to work with Rusty and his family," said Holland "We're very proud to do our part to take care of our soldiers."
This project is part of Carpet One Floor & Home's national partnership with the Building for America's Bravest Program. In addition to committing to install all the flooring in each Smart Home built. Carpet One Floor & Home stores throughout the United States will be collecting donations to support Building For America's Bravest's efforts.
Representatives from Brewer Carpet One will be attending the dedication ceremony for Rusty's Smart Home Scheduled for later this month.

text: The picture Thatched Roofs near Auvers is one of van Gogh's very last paintings; in the last letter he sent to his brother Theo, three days before committing suicide, he sketched out the composition with its daringly exaggerated lines of force. Seen from a symbolic psychological perspective the boundless preponderance of falling diagonals is overwhelming. The children – the red-haired boy has been interpreted as a reference to van Gogh himself – appear to be trapped in a thoroughly hopeless situation.
