I'm writing this in the one of the Stasi's old cafeterias out in East Berlin. There's some haphazard propaganda posters on the walls in characteristic 1970s faded ink, speaking out about how to fight Imperialismus, and a video playing a documentary. You can buy tea and soft drinks. I'm sitting on a windowsill, enjoying the February air. Peeking out of the old Stalinist blocks are a Lutheran spire, the Berlin TV tower, a single crane.
Though this is rather uniformed and heterodox, I think the Stasi must have been rather bad at processing information and mapping out the enemies of the state, who it was supposed to engineer security against. This didn't stop them from building a reign of terror, which was the real objective, with bureaucracy as a sort of performance. I am increasingly intrigued by the competition in organizational design between control-power and action-capacity, as distinct elements. As Will Burroughs put it, You see, control can never be a means to any practical end…It can never be a means to anything but more control…like junk.
I cannot suppose that any of the agents of the Stasi were incentivized to really do their jobs under the level of mutual scrutiny they experienced, only to submit reports that the Egregore of the Stasi would find legitimate. This is already a situation of metrics and targets being conflated, leading to a scenario where the program of the organization is not spread with intention, but through the contagious self-similarity of behavior transmission: a fear-virus.
One of the concrete projects that the Stasi carried out was attempts to obtain gold and Western money, which is an intriguingly quantifiable and objective metric. It is perhaps the only specific element of their operation documented in the museum that seems like a definitive attempt to increase the capacities of the organization, rather than simply using force in a way that fits the aesthetic of the secret police. Their listening devices were crude, their disguises a bit dull and not necessarily that convincing, their methods of gaining confidential informants simple blackmail. This notion that their craft is complex seems increasingly misguided. It is theatrical, each action a piece of the propaganda of the deed, leading to an overall impression that the world is controlled wholly by secret forces you cannot understand, the whole affair enchanted with paranoia.
Salman Rushdie (while repeating an anonymous secret policeman who defended him while under death threat from Fatwa in an interview a number of years ago) made the point that security is the art of making nothing happen. This was not the only purpose of the Stasi—they were also attempting to commit memecide on the German people, to eradicate forces oppositional to the Socialist order—but it was their effect: creating a bizarre paralysis of each individual. Engaging in their domestic terror campaign, they integrated their forceful network into the whole of the East German social system, and by doing such, they ensured that everyone who might make something happen was unable to. Nothing was for sure, and it wasn't worth trying anymore. There is the standard narrative that, at the center of all of this, was a complex institutional "brain" that was capable of tracking the whole affair down to the minute details. This does not seem to be the case—surveillance seems to be more of a kind of violence in this historical case than a tactical method used for its own purposes. One of the Stasi's victims, a pediatrician who eventually committed suicide, reported that objects in her house were constantly moved around, giving her a sense that she might be losing her mind. The use of surveillance by the Stasi should, I think, be seen as a subset of this behavior: a display of voyeuristic power, of omnipresent, inescapable brutality, echoed forward and backward in time.
In Erich Mielke's chambers on the third floor of the HQ, one gets the impression of the den of a stimulation addict. The Spartan wood offices, when the Military Prosecutor came though, were covered with papers, but not much in the way of the actual systems of life that one would need to feel a sense of home. His breakfast was delivered to him the same way every day, as denoted by a card. I wonder, sometimes, if the nature of totalitarian regimes is fairly simple: the state is the totality of the system of note, and thus the unilaterally self-interested individual does their best to ascend in the state because that is the right move, and thus takes comfort as the state is able to further Rossum-automate the ascending individual's needs.
This lets one live in a curious idealism, a dance between agents like objects in space, moving in and out of each others orbits, extending their spheres of influence. It is worth thinking of both the notion of reflexive control and perhaps even Boyd's OODA Loop as Anti-Hegelian weapons that render comparative analysis impossible by ensuring an assumption of feints and an embrasure of false-complexity with the assumption it might be real, and thus must be considered as such. In other words (those initially of one M. Vassar) is negative feedback from a malevolent force the same thing as being manipulated by it? It seems as though, if yes, one is unable to actually gain true agency from this attempt to navigate based on the fully empirical behavior of a threat, and, furthermore, your agency will further decline as it is unclear when to stop believing, to act out of the will of an individual, rather than a subsidiary of malevolence that has already implicitly won. The control mentality is a beautiful, paranoid system of thought, where the constant analysis of the enemy, ally, and all in between must shift, trusting the senses possibly a bit too much. It has the beautiful characteristic of allowing one's reasonable paranoia to fill all of the extra cognitive space: a truly infinite problem that can leave one constantly in mental motion. It seems addictive. Burroughs seems right to model this as a kind of drug, though he was speaking of control at the most general, rather than this specific instance of it becoming an infinite masochistic pleasure for an isolated man. There is a certain perverse decadence to psychopathy, and Mielke seems to fit the bill. This is of course all conjecture, but one must intuit something from the depressive glee of such a haunted place as the Stasimuseum.
When the wall fell and the process of reunification began, the Stasi didn't resist much, they just torched the papers that dealt with spying activity in West Germany. The center of the paranoid infection was stormed by protestors, and the guards looked on, smiling in photographs. As long as the past would not come to haunt the future, by virtue of justice sought by the in-group against the in-group themselves, they must have thought that they would make it out alright. In effect they did, Mielke lived until 2000, despite being considered by the likes of Wiesenthal to be "much worse than the Gestapo, if you consider only the oppression of its own people." The dialectic was coming back, at least for a moment. May it continue uninterrupted.

You Will not Imagine How Little This Bath Remodel Cost
A small bathroom is possibly one of the hardest rooms in the whole dwelling to transform for many individuals. However it can be misleading to break up and price out each step: even in case you are simply re-doing fixtures and tile work, chances are you'll find that it's essential replace the sheetrock on the wall and address issues behind the partitions (previous valves, historic drain pipes, and so forth). The commonest tub utilized in a rest room is the alcove tub put in with a shower.
Designer Louis Prepare dinner of PerfectView Reworking says this toilet falls into the basic toilet transform vary. And new features like flooring, a vanity , a sink, lighting, window therapies, hardware, a consolation-height rest room, a 36-inch countertop, a framed mirror that matches the vanity and a recessed drugs chest — all of which are barely better quality than from a giant-field store.
You wish to transform your toilet, but you do not need to break the bank, and that's a definite risk with any house renovation venture. For the essential valve, count on to pay round $550, but with physique sprays and handshower, the price can reach $1,000 or greater. Within the …

Cartier: Cartier was founded by Louis-Francois Cartier, he took over Maitre Picard's jewelry shop on 1819- 1904 and began the Cartier dynasty. His simple yet elegant designs continue to influence not only the Cartier but also the entire watch industry even today.
Watches costing from to , I still consider that are cheap, because at this price you can find models with far more quality than the 0 to models, even without spending exorbitant values. Here, you have other options like Lego watches for girls and more watches from Barbie, Princesses, Disney characters, but that have a better stylish, as a consequence of using better materials and technology for crafting the products.
When for diamonds, consider dealing with a bonded jeweler. Bonded jewelers sell bonded diamonds, and there are very few bonded jewelers in the world. Buying a bonded diamond will cost more than buying a non bonded diamond, but when you look at what you get with the bonded option, you will see that it is well worth the extra expense.
Its anti-luxury idea stormed in fashion area especially in design and accessory production circle and became a necessity of fashion guys. Though it is in lower price compared to luxury watches, many rich and celebrities fell over each other to wear it.
You may interrogatory that why there are so many stores which sell replica watches. It is because of the huge demand of watches. As we can see that people wear all kinds of accessories to make you look smart. One of the most popular accessories is watch. For us, watch is not a time teller, but a fashion accessory. It indicates one's taste and social status in some ways. So there are more and more people prefer to buy watches.
If you are looking at something beyond crystals, watches is an excellent options. Some excellent companies make one of the finest watches in the world. A handful of brands bring a top-notch product that eventually becomes a huge demand. Most of the best watches brands are old, have been on the market for years together and have always impressed their customers with luxury designs.
The sellers actually send a real SNP005P1, much to your relief. Two years down the line, the movement goes and you go to your local jeweller to arrange a straightforward repair under your Seiko warranty. Sounds simple enough? Not quite. After a conversation with the jeweller, he realises that the warranty you have been given is either not issued from a valid dealer or is an international guarantee which is only one year cover. One again you are left stranded, either with a broken watch or a hefty bill, which takes the 250 price tag almost up to the 425 retail price.

My Birmingham Mail column Apr 25th 2018- Part One
Over the years I have heard more than my fair share of rubbish from various managers and I suspect one or two reading this will be saying "yes! And you've spoken more than your fair share as well". Seriously though I was absolutely amazed at the post match mutterings of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp because his team were unable to beat West Brom..
According to him it was everybody else's fault apart from his! The groundsman was at fault for not watering the pitch at half time? The referee was at fault, Even Albion were at fault for not letting them win when Darren Moore's team didn't need the points as they were all but relegated? A waste of points he said!
It really disappointed me to hear his comments mostly because he is one of my favourite managers ,I love his passion and sense of humour and was really hoping he would be the man to steer Liverpool to the title.
However, In my opinion, a person's class best manifests itself when they have to handle disappointment; on this occasion Jurgen showed little class whatsoever with not no praise for the opposition whereas Darren Moore oozed class with his comments.
The pitch was to dry? That really is laughable and embarrassing because the first thing that struck me was that the pitch certainly wasn't too dry in December when the Baggies drew nil-nil at Anfield? Nor in January when Albion won 3-2 there in the FA Cup? By the way that was the only time they have lost at home this season.
The referee Stuart Atwell should have awarded them a penalty and should have sent off Baggies defender Hegazi for allegedly punching a Liverpool player.
It's an overdose of sour grapes from a man whose team could not find the answers to win in an eleven v eleven game but needed the referee and groundsman on his side as well.
He also said that the best teams should always win? Are you sure Jurgen? Because if you are right then Manchester City would never lose a game.
He even has a snipe at Albion's way of playing by saying that if the Premier League was about "set pieces" Albion would not be relegated.
There is no right or wrong way of playing this fantastic game most managers or coaches just play the way they need to play to get a positive result. Every game poses different questions for a manager. He will come up against different styles, formations, pitches, etc. and it's then down to his coaching ability to prepare his team to answer those questions.
He would have had detailed report after detailed report from his staff about the way the Baggies play. He obviously wasn't as prepared as he should have been so perhaps start looking in the mirror before blaming everyone else for your team's failure to win.
For me it sums up what is wrong with the game and the attitude of the so called bigger clubs who believe every other team should play the way that will allow the bigger clubs to win. The reality is if you try to out pass and out play these teams you will more than likely get beat so you need a plan that doesn't allow them to settle comfortably into their rhythmic was of playing. That usually means 90 minutes of hard work from every single player to frustrate and stop the so called better players from expressing themselves. Set pieces and counter attacks being your best bet for a goal.
I hear that Jurgen was looking forward to playing against Roma in the Champions league last night because they play it on the ground and don't just rely on set pieces-yet another classless pop at West Brom.

Innovative Kitchen Paint Colors Ideas - Kitchen is perhaps the only room in the house that wishes for more attention. We cook and eat our daily food there so it is surrounded by the buzz of the day-to-day activity. Accordingly, paint the kitchen dissipates relatively quickly compared to other areas of your home. Repainting the kitchen is a good way to keep the atmosphere of the new and clean kitchen. While choosing wall paint colors for kitchen special attention should be paid to the final display, it will bring to your room.
Innovative Kitchen Paint Colors Ideas
Many things must be kept in mind as the colors of kitchen appliances, kitchen cabinets and kitchen counters and also the doors and windows of the kitchen. Kitchen wall paint colors ideas can be applied in many different ways, but before you should also know the psychology of colors. Colors play with our mood directly and some types of colors play with our appetite. Study found that certain types of colors are responsible for appetite stimulation while there are some colors that suppress appetite.
Colors like orange, yellow, red, etc. are classified under stimulator while colors like purple, indigo, blue colors are classified as suppressors. Green is known as a neutral color and is environmentally friendly. The color also reflects light and gives back out of the kitchen light it needs. The most important factor that should determine the wall paint color for kitchen is the size of your kitchen.
Innovative Kitchen Paint Colors Ideas - Avoid choosing darker color for small kitchen because it will absorb a lot of light making the even smaller air. For a large sized kitchen that you can experiment with different types of colors. You can apply a combination of colors for different walls. Like for example, you can paint the cabinets and other accessories in neutral colors, the backside of the wall of some dark color such as red, blue, indigo, etc., and the rest three sides with another neutral color. For kitchen, have wooden cabinets, golden brown color looks pretty good.

I want to get a roasting pan (dutch ovens are for advanced cooking-this is my first attempt), and the fixings and do a slow roast.
I had to google parsnips. I have never eaten a parsnip before.
I found Lodge dutch ovens. I'll need to get one. A meat thermometer that stays in the meat in the oven. I need a timer. Knives, I need knives. I don't have a carving knife. and something to put left overs in. I did buy real silverware. I need real plates. Maybe a real glass for my tea, but I haven't found a 32 oz glass.Hmmm this meal is getting expensive.
One "secret" is to use Lipton's Onion Soup Mix. You wont need to season the roast other than S&P on the roast it'self.
Crock pot cooking for me. Throw a small roast in the crock pot, a few small potatoes, some carrots, onions, a can of mushroom soup, a little salt and pepper, let cook for a few hours...maybe put over rice.....eat.
Well, I'm back. The great roast has been postponed until the upcoming weekend.I'm in my new place and I've has a few problems getting my basic services up and running. Wah.
What? Wait, you were gone? Where did you go? Vacation?Congrats on the new dwelling.
No. Vacation would have been nice. This was no internet for a few days. Torture for an addict like me.
How was the move? Do you have everything you need there?

Well, we've made yet another "successful" trip to the Riley's Children's Hospital. This successful trip determined that Tru could possible have fluid on her ear drum, which would explain her balance being off, possible headaches, and her all around crappy attitude some of the time. So. . .yet again. I am waiting for another phone call to schedule an appointment with an ENT doctor, to check for fluid & if there is no fluid, get some drops to help clear her ear wax better. (She has such tiny little ear canals.) So we wait to make another trip.
Can you find Tru and her new friend? They're in there somewhere.
Other than that, Tru finally got to meet some kids with the same deletion syndrome as her. She played with them a little, but they weren't as mobile as her, yet. . .they are getting there though., so she mostly played outside with older children. I was so ecstatic to finally get to meet parents that have dealt with the same things as me. I simply couldn't wait for the conference in 2009, so a few of us from the support group, who live close together, got together. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! Everyone needs a few people who they can relate to. I was told that Tru was an inspiration for one mother, whose son was just starting to walk. . .(could of fooled me cause he was cruising all over and being very adventurous going from one piece of furniture to another. ) It really meant a lot to hear those words. It was like finally being acknowledge for all the hard work and struggles Tru has done and accomplished. I was inspired by another kids' and their communication skills, so verbal and using sooo many signs. (I am so very thankful for meeting such awesome women too.)
Well, let's just make this one long drawn out post to wrap every thing up for the friends & family. Who knows the next time I'll get a chance to post. I'm busy from the time I get up, right into my sleep. (Tre's still not sleeping through the night, uh. . .)
I had my first parent teacher conference & have nothing but positive wonderful things to say about that place. I'm dreading the coming summer when she won't be able to attend & even worse, next year if she doesn't qualify to even go there. AGH.... The teachers are great though & I'm throughly convince that Tru loves her teacher, just as much as me. . .not as much as daddy or either set of her grandparents, but as much as me. Which is wonderful cause she has done wonders working with her. Tru is following simple commands, her behavior is better, awesome really, and she just seems happier more of the time now. I guess I wasn't challenging her enough here at home. I've been told she will go up the slide by herself and go down all by herself. I can't wait to see her do it, along with pedaling her bicycle they rigged up with Velcro. I 'll take pictures. Until the next time I have some peace and quiet. . . . . . . .
~Have a beautiful day~

Combined Network Locales include network locales for all countries that are supported.
A network locale covers the specific localization needs of a country, these include telephone dial and ringing tones and those that are required by a gateway to generate local tones on the network (whether it is for IP networks or Time Division Multiplexing networks on the Public Switched Telephone Network) and network annunciators that are played via a gateway.
Includes localized user interfaces for applications, devices, services, and localized spoken prompts.
CUCM User locales also include the Network Locale for each country.
A user locale is comprised of localized graphical user interface, telephone user interface and annunciators (audio prompts) that can be heard via a telephone.
User locales are produced individually and are specific to a language and country combination. Network Locale and Combined Network Locale are synonymous.
There are Locale Installer (LI) releases for every CUCM and CUPS major and minor release. For example, the latest locale installer for CUCM 6.1.x is LI 220.127.116.110-1 (as of December 2009).
Here are some exceptions for the matching "major.minor" number rule: You will need: CUCM User Locale for every CUCM server, CUP (new name CUCM IM&P) user locale for every CUP server.
If you need network tones for countries which we have no supported User Locale yet, you will need to apply the Combined Network Locale Installer on every CUCM server.
Locale installers enable localization (l10n) in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Cisco Unified Presence Server (CUPS).
Locales are essentially additions to the base CUCM product.
As additions on top of the base product Locales require some special considerations.
This document attempts to capture those special considerations.

Dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda, 2018, Japan, 121 min.
This Cannes Palme d'Or winner is a heartrending glimpse into an often invisible segment of Japanese society—those struggling to stay afloat in the face of poverty. On the margins of Tokyo, a make-shift chosen family of outsiders survive through their fierce loyalty to one another and by petty theft. When they welcome a young girl who's been abused by her parents into their home, they risk exposing themselves to the authorities, making the case that it is love—not blood—that defines a family.

Hedge Funds: A long, hard winter ahead1 min read . Updated: 29 Nov 2007, 12:59 AM IST
Hedge Funds: A long, hard winter ahead
Hedge Funds: A long, hard winter ahead
Hedge funds came through the first three months of the credit crunch in reasonable shape.
But November is turning out to be a different proposition. Average returns look likely to be back in negative territory for the first time since August, judging by the performance of listed closed-end funds. More worrying, those average returns conceal big dispersions not just between strategies but within strategies, with performances varying from as much as 10% down to 5% up, according to prime brokers.
This kind of volatility doesn't do much for the credibility of the industry, which sells itself on the basis of risk-adjusted returns. At the very least, it points to poor hedging strategies. Investors will ask whether it also points to inadequate risk controls. That will worry prime brokers too. Most include material adverse change clauses in their contracts, allowing them to withdraw financing and, if necessary, seize assets from funds that suffer major drawdowns.
No broker wants to finance a fund at risk of major redemptions and so far underwater that its managers are no longer incentivized to perform.
The credit crunch is also beginning to bear down on the hedge fund industry in other ways. The cost of financing has soared, particularly for credit funds that rely on the repo market. Banks are passing on their own higher funding costs, reflected in the rising London interbank offered rate (Libor), plus charging a higher spread. That alters the economics of the hedge fund industry—particularly for strategies such as credit funds, relative value and arbitrage funds, which depend on exploiting short -term pricing anomalies. Meanwhile, some hedge funds are voluntarily de-risking their portfolios because they fear banks will withdraw leverage. The result will be lower returns.
All this points to a tricky few months ahead. So far, redemptions have remained light through the credit crunch. But November's figures are likely to trigger some soul-searching by investors, who will now have had several months to see how funds perform under pressure. Weak performers are likely to be jettisoned.
Given that most hedge fund investment these days is locked up for three months, the bulk of redemptions won't take place until the first quarter of next year. That could be when the credit crunch catches up with hedge funds.

The Adam Mouland House was built in 1913 in Mockbeggar, the oldest district of Bonavista. The house is a two-and-a-half-storeyed, steep, gabled-roof structure. It is a fine example of nineteenth and early twentieth-century architecture in the Bonavista area. The simple, yet decorative window and door trim reflect the builder's expressive style and craftsmanship and local carpenters recreated the exact specification when restoring the windows. Historically, this property is important because it is representative of an era when the people of Bonavista relied heavily on the inshore fishery for survival. At the time when this house was constructed it was common for residents to have a number of fishery-related outbuildings on their property.

"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hare's Ears Cottage! It is a beautifully appointed cottage with such a charming ambience. It has so much natural light and stunning views with the long wall of windows. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms were beautiful and clean. We loved this cottage and it's very unique setting. Watching huge ships up close through the lovely length of windows travel into and out of the harbour through the narrows was amazing. Hiking the Signal Hill Trail which starts steps away from the cottage was great, with its stunning panoramic views of the area. We also hiked some other trails near St. John's, including the one at Cape Spear early one morning to catch the awesome sunrise. We enjoyed many fantastic meals in St. John's, and found it very easy to get around. We will forever cherish memories of our stay at Hare's Ears Cottage and would be thrilled to be able to visit again..."

... Part forest and part meadow crowned by a ridge some 300 ft above sea level...
The Inn is situated on a hillside, part forest and part meadow crowned by a ridge some 300 ft above sea level. Toward the east the Inn overlooks Ship Cove, the vast expanse of Trinity Bay and approaches to the North Atlantic. In the west guests experience golden sunsets over Trinity Harbour. Blueberry bushes border the web of footpaths connecting six buildings on the inn's 14 acre hillside property. Chairs are strategically located for quiet moments to contemplate the panorama of seascapes. The Inn's buildings reflect traditional architecture in this rural region The rooms and suites have views of forest and ocean through the mullions and muntins of locally made traditional wooden windows. Furniture in rooms, suites and public areas is handcrafted by a local prize winning artisan, Mike Paterson. The buildings and interiors reflect the tangible and aesthetic heritage of Newfoundland. The Inn is surrounded by many attractions (more than in any other region of rural Newfoundland) including whale watching, professional theater, movie sets, boat tour of deserted communities, craft shops, art galleries, historic sites, small fishing communities, friendly people and panoramic seascapes at every turn in the road.
Family Owned & Operated
The Fisher family manages the Inn. Sons Luke and Gabriel, partners Molly and Rhiannon and grandkids are taking over John and Peggy's innkeeper responsibilities though they both can be found greeting old friends and new guests. The Inn is a collection of indigenous Trinity Bay Houses (third generation saltbox design and a Mansard) accompanied by a French kitchen garden and operating greenhouse. Fisher's Loft Inn is "Where to Eat in Canada" top ranked rural restaurant in Newfoundland, with the restaurant looking over the kitchen garden, out across Trinity Bay to the North Atlantic. While dining you will experience sun rises and sun sets, icebergs and whales in season. The culinary approach emphasizes fresh, local ingredients harvested from the on-site garden. Attractive yet not pretentious plating makes for a relaxed meal.
On the windswept coast of Newfoundland, a clever, contemporary Zone 3 garden feels right at home in its magical surroundings
Paths meander among curved beds filled with lettuce, garlic, strawberries, beets and other essentials that grace the dishes of the hotel's restaurant each day, while tender tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and basil reside in the greenhouse built in 2009. The garden thrives thanks to the careful handling of son Gabe, who oversees it, much to the benefit of the guests of the inn, who dine on fresh, simple fare like partridgeberry French toast, carrot soup and locally sourced fish. It's an elemental way of life, but one that remains vital to putting down roots on the Rock.
The Rooms
The rooms are casually elegant, bright and spacious, several with cathedral ceilings, and have ocean views through traditional windows. Your room, along with all others including public spaces throughout the Inn, display the Fisher Loft art collection. It is the largest collection in the province. Rooms you will stay in are equipped with a queen bed. They are furnished with an armoire, table and chair, down duvet and pillows, original artwork and ensuite full bathroom. All rooms have cable television, a telephone with free local calling and complimentary wireless internet. All houses have close-proximity parking. The inn has a modest library of books, journals, studies, periodicals intended to illuminate both history and current affairs of the province. A magazine rack has the best of the world's periodicals covering international affairs, fashion, the arts, economics, travel and more.
Finally, the staff is the heart and soul of the Inn. They are all local first generation descendants of rural fishing families. There is a no-uniform policy at the Inn and the staff is encouraged to be themselves rather than the typical homogenized hospitality industry worker. This dovetails into the friendly inviting atmosphere, making your experience with the local community a highlight of your trip.

Deforestation Reduction
The Amazon
A series of public policies from various sectors strategically coordinated and supported by different political bodies and by civil society, enabled a significant reduction of deforestation in the Amazon since 2005. The Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon (PPCDAm, in portuguese), launched in 2004, is a milestone for reducing deforestation in Brazil. The PPCDAm is divided into three thematic axes, encompassing several actions:
1) Land Tenure and Territorial Planning;
2) Environmental Monitoring and Control;
3) Fostering Sustainable Production Activities.
Deforestation before (in red) and after (in green) the PPCDAm, in km²
Source: INPE/PRODES.
Learn more about PPCDAm Charts on deforestation in the Amazon The success achieved so far in reducing deforestation in the Amazon is also due to institutional strengthening and technical development of different government agencies, which influence directly or indirectly the policies aimed at addressing this challenge. The National Institute for Space Research's (INPE, in Portuguese) technical capacity is essential for monitoring forest coverage, whereas the operational capability of the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA, in Portuguese) and the Federal Police are key to enforcement operations. The capacity of the Amazonian states is decisive to ensure the effective implementation of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR, in Portuguese). Learn more about coordination with the Amazonian states Read more about the Environmental Rural Registry Learn more about monitoring Cerrado and other biomes The successful experience in the Amazon serves as a model for reducing deforestation in other biomes, starting with the Cerrado, the second in significance in terms of emissions from deforestation. The Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Deforestation and Forest Fires in the Cerrado (PPCerrado, in Portuguese) was launched in 2010. The Cerrado is considered the most species-rich savanna in the world. The biome, which provides fundamental local and global environmental services, has been under pressure from agriculture and livestock expansion and charcoal production, to meet the demand from the steel industry, since the 1970s. The PPCerrado, follows the same framework set by the PPCDAm, with activities devided into three thematic axes to adress the drivers of deforestation in the region.
Learn more about the PPCerrado After the results achieved in the Amazon with the use of technology to monitor forest cover and tackle deforestation, new investments to expand forest monitoring systems to other biomes have been initiated. By doing that, Brazil hopes to initiate a process that can culminate in deforestation reduction results coming from all of its biomes.

I drove in the middle of the night. No one knew where I was, and no one knew where I was going. All my friends, my family, my loved ones, they would all be asleep before I even left the house. I had a lot to think about, I had a lot to deal with. Really, I had nothing at all.
Tonight was the 12th night in the row I felt drunk. The 12th night in a row, I drank a beer, and then took a shot, and then 2 more beers and 2 more shots. It was beginning to be my nightly ritual. It usually knocked me out cold. Helped me get through the nights that I so often dreaded. Tonight though it didn't seem to be the poison I needed.
So I drove. Knowing full well I shouldn't, but I could not stand to be in our house alone anymore. I had lived there 2 years on my own. My wife had left me so long ago, it seemed like an entirely different lifetime. She has since found someone else, found a new family, had a new baby, and started a new life.
While I myself have done nothing. No loved one to really speak of. No girlfriend, no one that looks at me and says wow he is cute as hell. Nothing. There was one, then another, and another. Only one since my wife has made me fall. I fell so hard for her so long ago, I still have not been able to completely recover.
I thought of her as I pulled out of the driveway. The way her face turned red when I looked at her. The way she always told me things she knew she shouldn't. The way her entire face lit up when she smiled at me. When she smiled at anyone. I remembered her touch from so long ago. Her hands running across my head as we kissed.
That was another life. That was not someone I could ever be with again.
I turned the corner not really knowing where I was going. I drove past the lakes and the reservoir. Past more MCdonalds than I cared to count. Before I knew it was out of town and alone. I still felt the buzz but I knew I could drive. I knew I shouldn't be out here alone. The friend I always counted on was not around anymore. I couldn't call her. She wouldn't be there to save my life again.
I turned around as quickly as I could and headed for my house. I was speeding but I didn't care. I didn't see a single cop on my way out there and I had to get home, being out here alone was driving me crazy. To many thoughts running through my head to many random things I was thinking that I…
I hit something and slammed on the breaks as fast as I could. I was swerving on and off the road, until finally into a tree I smashed head first. It didn't take me more than a couple minutes to calm myself down. There wasn't a scratch on me.
I got out of the car cussing and screaming at whatever animal I happened to hit. I didn't know what the heck it could have been. It was 3 in the morning and I was in town. Whatever it was it seemed big. There it was.
Lying lifeless on the side of the road his Bakugan shirt torn to shreds as he had skidded across the pavement. Somehow I had ended up in front of my ex wifes house in my path to get home in a hurry. Somehow I had killed my own son.
I later learned they were playing a game in their house. My son thought it would be funny to run across the street and hide in a trashcan. He never made it. I had made sure of that.
Now here I sit alone in my cell. The city thinks they are punishing me. Keeping me in here by myself. They could never do anything to me. I killed my own son, I deserve much worse than this..

Annual International Award • Streamlined Nomination Process • Enhanced Recipient Recognition • Transparent Evaluation Criteria
Mary Sigourney created The Sigourney Award because she understood the significant contributions and lasting benefits of psychoanalysis, its ability to reduce human suffering, and its value to understanding human affairs.
Her vision was expansive and international in scope. Through the Award, she sought to reward efforts that were applied, as well as clinical or scholarly. Ms. Sigourney wanted to attract individuals across gender, race, culture, location, and professional categories to highlight how psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic thought intersects with academic, humanitarian, and arts-focused fields.
New Clarity, Fresh Look, Original Vision
In 2016, the co-Trustees began a journey to ensure that The Sigourney Award's future reach and impact aligns with and anticipates the evolving needs of the global community. Mary Sigourney's original intentions were extensively reviewed and discussed, and key collaborators were consulted.
The resulting changes—a modernized application process, the fine-tuning of award and judging criteria, and a phased shift to an annual international award cycle over the next three years—will expand the award's reach and international applicant pool. Ultimately, these changes will strengthen the Award's influence and enhance the Trust's ability to reach a wider, more diverse audience.
As we celebrate the Trust's 30th anniversary, we honor Mary Sigourney's mission to reward outstanding work that advances psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic thought. To date, 125 Award Recipients from 21 countries represent her vision. Their ground-breaking work has significantly contributed to human affairs on topics ranging from neuroscience to feminism.
Nominations for work that applies or contributes psychoanalytic thought to medicine, psychiatry, other sciences, the arts, literature or film are encouraged. Applications are accepted from all geographic locations, April 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.

All-Too Invisible Fence
I do not usually mow the lawn - often this is a task that others either enjoy (MLW) or have inflicted upon them (LB), but I decided to give it a go today. One of the things I decided I was going to do with my mowing adventure was really cut in close to the edge of the property and trim back some of the tall stuff that tends to grow along the field.
Back in October of 2015 I relayed a situation in which my cousin had inadvertently cut our invisible fence line. After this event I had put in several steel fence posts as markers to provide reference points for him, and for myself, indicating where the fence wire was. I thought myself pretty clever for doing so and, in fact, my cousin hasn't encountered the fence since.
What I didn't anticipate is that I might later be a victim of my own cleverness and drive over one of those fence posts in my effort to trim close to the edge of the property. I was fortunate, however, to only roll over it with a tire as opposed to the more serious problem of hitting it with the blades (did I mention that I do not usually mow...?).
I chalked this up to life experience and largely forgot about it until LB fed the dogs and said "the alarm on the invisible fence is going off".
I'm not sure the swearing was out loud, but the volume of it in my head was considerable.
It could be worse, though. I had a rough idea of where I thought it was (around the aforementioned fence post), and I had purchased a kit to help find breaks in the fencing during the adventure in October of '15.
So I gathered up the items from the basement shelves and got to work. As I started the process of searching I became aware of a couple of things:
- All of those teachers in elementary school who accused me of not reading all the way through the directions before starting a task were a pain in my ass. And, incidentally, they may have been right; and
- I get very crabby when I think I'm winding things up for the day and a new problem pops up.
That second item isn't really a revelation, per se, as much as it is a periodic reminder.
At any rate, I gathered up my cheapie radio and telescoping handle and walked out to the area I thought the damage was, only to find it was doing nothing but bringing in local radio stations. I messed around with this for a little bit before finally admitting that it was at least remotely possible that I'd forgotten how the procedure all works since my single experience with it 20 months ago.
Turns out there are several additional pieces of paraphernalia, and some additional setup, that is required before you can detect your break in the fence. It also turns out, oddly enough, that all of those additional pieces were sitting on the shelf right next to where I'd retrieved the first couple of pieces. Who would have guessed?
As I noted back when, the repairs are fairly simple once the break is located and uncovered. Today's repairs, though, were somewhat complicated by the extensive colony of ants that had apparently made their home somewhere in the vicinity of my damaged wire. They were not shy about making their objections known:
For the record, they were not just crawling, but also biting. As it all went on I'm sure I appeared the monster, since many of them would end up returning home on their shields...
It's all better now, though, assuming there is not some giant ant overlord coming for revenge...

Ideas outside the square: Abolish #COMELEC and implement SMS-based voting!
I suggest we remove COMELEC and all its PCOS machine and equipment. Replace it with vote through text since Filipinos are fond of it anyway and that the resources for these are available. Prior to the election day a voter can register his phone number with his TIN (tax identification number). This will make sure that a voter can only vote once. To further assure that no anomalies can occur, a third party, non partisan body, probably from other countries should oversee the election proceedings. This is more efficient and convenient as we do not need to have a non working day, and save lots of resources which are otherwise wasted in going to and from the precincts, etc.
There should be no fiesta campaigning. Just post the resumes of the candidates in standard format on billboards on major thoroughfares and media as approved only. Include with this the candidates net worth at the time of campaigning including all assets and liabilities. Let us level the playing field.
No sloganeering, no shitty jingles, no miting de abanse, no dancing girls, no singing-out-of-tune actors/actresses, no noisy motorcades, no nonsense. Debates are compulsory and should be covered live on TV. I should think a debate with common people should be done too. Allow throwing of rotten vegetables/eggs in this events, too.
No showing of candidates' life story on TV/media, or even a personalized interviews on TV shows/radio etc. The media shall only show information on voting wisely. All churches cannot mention anything about elections during masses/services, etc to their members. The church should not be allowed to influence their members on who to vote. Violators will be fined heavily.
Lastly, a candidate violating any of the rules are automatically disqualified and fined heavily.
After the election, losing candidates should be tasked to support the winners with the ultimate goal of making lives for Filipinos better than when their term started. Failure of the losing candidate to do these shall be reflected on his resume for posting on his next run for office.
The winning candidate shall be appraised by the people on a yearly basis. Pass or fail only – no nonsense. Failure means replacing with the next in command and shall also be subject to the same appraisal.
How about that?

Any time a crisis occurs at home, the homeowner might possibly not have the money in order to handle it straight away. Nonetheless, they may well not be able to wait around to have it remedied. Rather, the property owner may need to explore obtaining a cash advance so they can receive the cash they will need fast.
Any time there may be an electrical problem with the home, or another urgent situation that they will really need remedied fast, they will want to ensure they acquire the funds to fix it rapidly. When they're able to apply for a payday loan on the web, they're able to effortlessly obtain the money they will need and also be sure the problem is dealt with as rapidly as is possible. It's easy to fill out an application on the internet and they're going to be in a position to get the money fast so they can manage the issue straight away. They can after that repay the money with their upcoming paycheck and will not have to worry about it any more.
If you have a crisis you'll have to deal with and you're going to need to have additional cash to be able to handle it, make sure you'll look into Blue Trust Loans today. You could receive the cash you're going to need to have as quickly as is possible and can handle the crisis right now rather than waiting for your following paycheck.

As you should have noticed by now, we're constantly looking for new and improved ways to support the local music scene. Among other things, we've added this La Vida Local column, have increased the stories and reviews on local bands and musicians and gave our support to the new TV show Sonic Lounge.
So, what's next? We're currently rounding up music from local independent artists to be released as a compilation CD before year's end. The 12-track CD -- the first or many to come -- will feature a variety of artists that have released music in the last half of 2007. We'll then take those CDs and hand 'em out at future shows around the Queen City. The bands enjoy the exposure. Fans get a thanks for showing support to the local music scene.
Of course, when it's all put together, we'll let you know where we'll be distributing them. If you're in an indie band who released new music recently and are interested in being a part of the project (you should have already heard about it through MySpace), contact us at myspace.com/clcharlottemusic.

the gps thing. do you need to turn on wi fi for the gps to work? or just turn on the gps and it works right away anywhere? you need to find a hot spot? thanks.
Can any one tell me the different between 8GB model and 16GB one any extra spec ?
This phone is awesome. I've owned it for 2 weeks now. Tons of application you can download for it. Lots of great features like the 8mp camera, the video editor and the photo river. The contacts list and the calendar has all the things I needed. Wifi is cool. GPS is a huge plus.
I bought this unit in the Philippines, and the only downside is, I didn't think the users manual was complete enough both the online or the printed quick guide version. It did discuss all the basic features, but I was looking for some hints on what the different icons meant. I'm new to the symbian interface, so this would have helped me a lot. For example, the message box that blinked at the top of the screen.
There are apparently bugs in the firmware. Maybe am just doing it wrong, but i can't seem to organize the files in the image gallery. And the settings for the camera would not save. Am hoping samsung releases a new firmware very soon.
I bought this handphone today from Nokia 5800 to Samsung I8510 INNOV8 so far good will be back with more info soon.......
to all, thanks for the comments.
so for the .avi movies, i just convert them into mp4 files and i should be able to watch movies on the i8510.
i plan to upload some tv shows onto this phone. just good to have some movies handy while you wait for the bus etc...i am not super picky about the quality of the movie, as long as i can watch a movie on the i8510.
laughing, 28 Apr 2009will this phone play .avi files that i have downloaded from torrent sites? thanks.the answer is no. ive tried it and the resolution of those avi files from torrents sites is too high.
download 'super' (type it in google) and downsize the resolution, but keep the video in AVI.
and 3gp is never the best format!
laughing, 28 Apr 2009will this phone play .avi files that i have downloaded from torrent sites? thanks.no...u need to convert it using the software(pc suit cd) given with the phone during u bought it. converting in mp4 also can read the file by this phone.but i think it is better u convert it into divx file.if u use avi file without convert it before, of course your phone can't read the movie.i mean can not support file format. this is because the resolution download file is not match with the phone.
Reply to laughing
No you have to convert the AVI files to MP4
Lots of free programs to do that.
will this phone play .avi files that i have downloaded from torrent sites? thanks.
brynn, 08 Feb 2009left it on standby fully charged at 1.20am sunday morn and just checked it now 7.35pm and its ... moreIf you have Garmin installed, remove it, and you will solve the battery problem

I've had my phone since march but it seems to be causing me problems now. It gets stuck on the start up screen when i try to turn it on. I've looked online to find codes to key in and all I get is a flashing "ALL DOWNLOAD" on a red screen. I also noticed that it said SysAp: Feature not supported before it died on me. It did start working again at one point after i had drained the battery and kept playing around with it, but stopped working again.
Does anyone know what this means and what I should do?
I'm also from Canada so my phone was imported and the phone is not listed on the Canadian Samsung site so I could get support.

In A Relationship
What do you want in a relationship?
Whether you're single or dating, what do you want in a relationship?
Positive Qualities to Live By and Look For
Here are eight positive qualities to strive for; but equally important, you should look for these qualities in your choice of boyfriend/girlfriend. Be sure to read the "Opposites" in this list, and if your boyfriend/girlfriend sounds more like the opposite than the quality, you might want to re-think the relationship.
1. Honesty
Always truthful. Never lies, deceives, steals, or takes advantage of the trust of others. (Opposite - dishonest, insincere)
2. Respectfullness
Treating others and their property with care, honor, and respect. Never rude, abusive or malicious. (Opposite - disrespectful)
3. Generosity
Giving to others. Thinking more of someone else's needs rather than your own. (Opposite - greedy)
4. Perseverance

Here's Nicole's story:
When I was 13 years old I had this boyfriend who I thought I loved. So one day I asked him to come over to my house to just hang. When he first got there he was chill and didn't really do anything, but after an hour or so we started making out and stuff and he told me since we have been dating for 3 months we should have sex.
I told him no I was not ready. Then he said if I loved him I would just do it. I still said no. A few days later he broke up with me, and after 3 months I found out he was dating my best friend and she was having his baby. I was not shocked at all. I knew one day that he would end up being a teenage dad. I'm 15 now, and I am with my 17-year-old boyfriend and have been for 1 year now. We both plan to save sex until we are married. I'm so glad I made the choice I did because I know I would not be where I am to day if I didn't.

Anyway, after I told my girlfriend that I would be taking a trip out of town, she was okay with it and later we both went to sleep. Before I left I explained to her that I would be back on that same day, because the training was for only four hours and we would be taking the next flight out. The next morning my friend and I went to the airport, then flew to Texas. The reason why I remember this trip so well is because it was the first time I boarded a plane as an adult. I was very nervous, a little scared and the flight attendants didn't make it any better. Why you may ask? Well first of all the plane that we took to Texas, was a small prop plane and not a jet. Then the flight attendants were in the back talking about old near misses while flying in a prop plane. They would tell stories about when one engine failed and the had to land in a storm. Then they would also talk about the plane getting hit by lighting. This wasn't a good story to tell, especially for a person taking his very first plane trip as an adult.
Later we landed in Texas and went to our training session. After it was over we later arrived at the airport for our trip back to Louisiana. What was strange about this was that I noticed that most of the flights were cancelled, because of the weather. So I went to the airport attendant and asked her what would be the next available flight out. She looked at her computer and then said, Mr. Holmes it won't be until 8:30 am the next morning. I looked at my friend and said, Man it looks like we will be sleeping in the airport. After we talked he called his wife to give her the news and I did the same by calling my girlfriend.We both thought we would be sleeping in the airport until his cousin called and said his wife and himself would be driving to Louisiana. It was a relief to me, because I didn't want to sleep in an airport. I was so excited, because I could go home and sleep in my bed next to my girlfriend. I tried to call her but she didn't answer the phone , I then thought to myself, well maybe my baby is sleeping and that is why she didn't answer the phone.
Anyway, we started the drive home which was a 10 hour drive and I made it home at about 2 in the morning. Before I was dropped off my friend noticed that there was a strange car parked in my drive way. He said, Chuck did you guys buy a mustang? I said to him not to my knowledge and smiled. Maybe one of my in-laws' are spending a night, then he drove off and I put the key in the door. When I walked in the house I heard my girlfriend moaning calling out this persons name, so I grabbed my baseball bat and walked slowly to the bedroom. Then I turned on the light and there they were together in bed with a very surprised looks on their faces. I said, Pam what the hell are you doing? Then she screamed and then, said Baby its not what you think! Then the guy she was with tried to run out of the doorway, but I stepped in front of him and swung my baseball bat. I was so angry ,mad and had so many mixed emotions. A part of me wanted to kill the both of them and another part of me just wanted to leave. What was I to do I said to myself? Then a strange thought came over me , then I told the man to leave. After all it wasn't his fault that my girlfriend cheated. What made me laugh if you can believe it my ex-girlfriend said it was an accident. Then I looked at her then said, You can accidentally slip or fall and you can also accidentally get in a car accident, but you can't accidentally have sex! What type of fool do you think I am, you are just Busted! That is my true life story and one that I'll remember for the rest of my life. Write in, then express your thoughts or opinions on the subject.
Until then have a great,

brought to you by Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie.
Dinner this week will be determined largely by how much walking I can do at grocery stores. The MRI on my knee is Monday, May 4th at 0730.
So far, the plan is:
- Tater Tot Casserole*, corn
- Bourbon Chicken, broccoli, brown rice
- chili (I don't use a recipe. I'll just make it up.), cornbread
- fish (whatever I can find), a vegetable, a side dish**
- pizza Friday
I'm keeping it simple and using mostly what I have on hand.
*Am I the only person on the planet who does not cook with Cream of Mushroom, Chicken, Celery or any other food Soup? Mike hates it and I refuse to cook with it!

Get to Know Taste of Fort Collins Artist Trombone Shorty
With the Taste of Fort Collins happening THIS weekend, it seems like the perfect time to shine a spotlight on one of this year's headliners and introduce festival-goers to who they will be seeing perform on stage Saturday evening. So without further ado, let's get to know a little bit more about Trombone Shorty and his band, Orleans Avenue.
Serving as the band's frontman, Troy Andrews, better known as Trombone Shorty, is backed by five additional talented musicians who together, make up the group, Orleans Avenue. Since linking up, the six of them have toured the U.S. and Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, Russia and Brazil, putting on energetic and funk-filled performances everywhere they go. However, Trombone Shorty got his start way before finding success with his current band.
A native of New Orleans, Trombone Shorty began performing and actually leading a band at just six-years-old. At the early age of 12, he was already touring internationally, which led him on the path to his next musical journey – joining Lenny Kravitz' horn section at the age of 19, for a 105-date world tour taking place in 2005-2006. Since then, Trombone Shorty has played alongside many other notable artists, including Madonna, Queen Latifah, and Macklemore. He and his band have also made appearances performing on The Grammy's, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, on several other talk shows, and even at the White House. The eclectic musician has also dabbled a bit in the acting world, playing himself in a recurring role on the HBO series "Treme."
On the evening of June 11, concert-goers can expect to be blown away by the sounds of Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue. Their music is a mixture of funk, combined with hip-hop beats, rock dynamics and jazz influences, that'll no doubt have the audience on their feet, movin' and groovin' all night long. TOFC passes, which include concert access to all of the shows, can be purchased online or directly at the entry gates.

Undergraduate Fellow
"I was dead-set on being a surgeon since I was seven years old. You couldn't change my mind. I didn't even know what it was, but I wanted to be one.
I went to community college through the A+ Scholarship Program and I didn't necessarily have guidance. I didn't know what classes to take, what avenues to go down or what opportunities were available. I was just taking classes that I thought made sense. Turns out they were totally wrong for me.
I had to come up with a game plan and I thought, 'Okay, not graduating is not an option. How can I do this and still be a doctor of some sorts?' So, I talked to some people and they said Hey, be a doctor by being a psychologist."
Do you think that there are any lessons or motivations that you can take from field work as you transition to being a psychologist?
"Just the overall theme of not giving up. When I was in the biology field I was doing experiments. Most of the time they don't go the way that you want them to go, but you've still got to keep going."
