Cesar A. Villacres
Cesar A. Villacres was known for his impressionistic street scenes depicting France. Most of his landscape paintings are tremendously vivid and alive street scene from Paris in the 20th Century. People going about their day; street vendors and flower sellers are alive as horse and carries are wispily riding along. In the distance, you will see detailed some elements like a tree-lined street with cars driving pass, and beautiful architecture from the city. The use of thick paint is noted, with quick brushwork and precise attention to detail. An absolutely great work of the times, capturing an ever so fleeting moment from over a century ago.
In his pieces, Cesar A. Villacres represents himself as a French impressionistic visual artist. There is not much information about this artist but the majority of his work was by capturing the Paris busy street scenes from the 20th Century. He mostly used oil on canvas by using subtle brush strokes with a wide color pallet. Some of his work has been in action like 'La Madeleine' an oil on canvas sold at Quinn's Auction Galleries in 2009 and also 'New York City 1950's Street Scene' and 'Parisian City Streets' in 2008. The artist was truly a master of expressing the magic and nostalgia of the Parisian life of the "Belle Époque" in France.

Then the cyclists had a well-earned sleep on the overnight ferry to Caen before cycling 85 miles to Évreux.
On the final day they 'only' had to cycle 73 miles to the centre of Paris.
One of the hardest parts of the journey was taking on the infamous 17% gradient Bexley Hill in West Sussex. A challenging climb where Dean achieved the 3rd best time of all the challenge participants.
However, it was all worth it as they cycled through the centre of Paris around the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs-Élysées finishing at the iconic Eiffel Tower in a peloton of 58 riders.
The team would like to pass on their thanks to all their corporate sponsors and personal donations that have been made, including: Madison, Cariad Marketing, TekOne Technologis, Storax, BrayFoxSmith, HG Timber, Orbital Climate Solutions, ILG, Elite Electrics, Warehouse Partners, RH Logistics, Aitchison Raffety, JP Conveyors, Knight Frank, Mirek Piskun, Air Business, Lambert Smith Hampton and Edd's Bikes.

Shelling peas were at the farmer's market when I went Sunday. I bought a whole bunch.
Tuesday Menu – Steak, Potato Salad, Simple Peas and Onions
Local Food – Peas
Simple Peas and Onions
I halved this recipe. You cook the onions until they begin to brown. The onions give this simple side dish a wonderful richness. YUM!
Frozen Peas
The peas I didn't use in this recipe got blanched for 1 ½ minutes and then cooled and frozen. I love having my own frozen veggies.

Hope everyone is doing well. I was doing some random Blood Omen 2 searches across the interwebz and I came across this video of some BO2 textures being replaced with higher res textures. It may not look terribly stunning but it doesn't need to. The video only serves to demonstrate potential.
The guy basically wrote a tool to extract texture files (*.dds) from the compressed *.big files on the PC version of BO2. He's currently working on a compiler which can compile newer high resolution textures back into the *.big file format. So yeah, while we can't exactly replace BO2 texture with our own just yet, we can still view practically all of them.
So hopefully once the compiler's out a group of people can collaborate and make an HD texture pack for at least the first part of the "Slums". Who knows, maybe more people will take an interest and we get a larger texture pack. However, until the compiler is out the guy is offering to have textures mailed to him and he will patch them in manually (I believe there's some hex editing involved).
Regardless, here's the video. I recommend watching it with the annotations on for it to make more sense. Also, I believe the dialogue is in Italian.
Here's the guy's website and here is the extractor. You will need the latest .NET Framework as well as XNA Framework for the extractor to work properly. To view the *.dds files I suggest using Windows Texture Viewer (and make sure to turn the alpha channel off since most of these are DXT1).

The original 2009 filing which includes "Inventors" Ji Xin (James Ji), previously Chinese Distributor of Medafor's Arista, has now dropped Jianping Chen (Jane Chen) as an "Inventor".
Of more critical importance the patent has now shrunk in respect of claims made. Currently claims 1-53 have now been cancelled and it seems likely this patent is less than secure.
In the meantime it will be interesting to see the reaction from Cryolife Shareholders who, having been subjected to the Medafor - Cryolife debacle, may now have serious due diligence queries of executives. The millions spent already on the CRY-Starch marriage may be a concern, but continued investments highlighted in the last quarterly report by executives such as Ashley Lee who announced Q1 2013 the intention of (after initial denial of the Perclot IDE) re-filing the IDE with the FDA in May. Ashley also stated further investment in Perclot with "a 320 patient study, randomized 1:1 with a 30-day follow up over across several medical specialties". CEO Steve Anderson commented when questioned about Perclot manufacturing "I think we've already spent the money that we're going to spend to build out our manufacturing facility that frankly is up and ready to go".

Somerset Tennis Complex
The $400,000-project known as Somerset Tennis Complex opened on March 9, 2001. The complex includes six courts painted with a water-resistant acrylic base coat and two finish coats.
For the record, St. Mary's Brad Nowicki served the first ball in competition at the new complex as the Seahawks edged Randolph-Macon College 4-3 on March 9. In the first match to begin and the first to end, Nowicki teamed with Andy Beliveau to win their No. 1 doubles match 8-4 over Eric Ancarrow and Coleman Adams.
The courts are arranged in three groups of two, with walkways in between and separate fencing for each group. The drop-down fencing — high at each end, belt-level on the sides — allows for easy spectator viewing and does away with that caged look.
In dramatic fashion, the Seahawk men's tennis team upset Salisbury University in Capital Athletic Conference action on April 6, 2011, pulling out a 5-4 victory over the visiting Sea Gulls for the program's first-ever win against regionally-ranked Salisbury. Salisbury had entered the match boasting a 22-0 record in the all-time series history.

1.Identification without consent-
With the help of your Aadhaar number, it is possible to track an individual's activities across multiple domains of service using the mainframe database. This leads to identification without consent. Besides, there have been instances where unauthorized use of biometrics have been done to illegally identify people by matching of iris scans and fingerprints or facial photographs stored in the Aadhaar database, or using the demographic data to identify individuals without their consent outside the domain of law. The recent e-KYC data being used by several private firms is a good example of it.
2.Mass surveillance-
Imagine Orwell's 1984, Big Brother might as well be watching you, and he knows your Aadhaar number. With the accumulation of huge sets of private data, there is no guarantee if tomorrow the same data is used to keep track of where you go, what you eat and whom you meet. This is blatant violation of Fundamental Rights of people, and no enforcement mechanism to prevent this exists.
3.Illegal Tracking of individuals-
Having a database of private information of 1.27 billion people means that individuals may be put under surveillance without appropriate authorisation or legal backing using the authentication and identification records held by the authorities, such record also contains data on the time, location and the context of the identification, authentication and services availed.
4.Insider attacks-
Insider attack is one of the most dangerous threats faced with accumulation of private information of this scale. For instance, an attacker can collude with an insider who has access to database to misappropriate various components of the Aadhar system. Such types of attacks have occurred in the past in major developed countries like USA and UK.
5.Theft of data-
Having data of more than billion people is not the problem, but when it is coupled with dismal infrastructure, complications are bound to arise. Theft of data is prevalent everywhere, with nearly 1.4 billion data records being stolen by hackers only in 2016. Such data is later used by hackers either for revenge purposes, financial gain or coercing people through blackmail. It can also be sold to underground forums and used for illegal purposes such as accessing bank account details, identity thefts and so on. The problem is more grave in India, where no proper structure to protect this data exists.
6.Sale of private information-
Did you know that the data being collected by UIDAI is not the property of the Government? When the state holds the data it collects from its residents in its transactions, it only holds the data in fiduciary capacity and does not own the data. This means that the Government is also a customer in utilisation of your private data which is held by National Information Utilities, a non-governmental body, who actually own the data. NUI's are private companies with the sole objective of making money out of your data. What's more, the UIDAI is also a business entity governed by Companies Act and therefore has a separate legal entity not bound by law that recognizes the fiduciary capacity of the state. Your data is being sold, without even letting you know!

Alberta – Highest Rate of Population Growth in Canada 2012
It isn't unusual for Alberta to have the highest rate of population growth of all the Canadian provinces. Over the past few decades, people from other parts of our nation and the world have flocked to Alberta looking for the next best opportunity whether it is in education, employment or simply for a better way of life.
According to a report released by Statistics Canada, Alberta has bested all the other provinces for highest population growth in 2012. From January 1st, 2012 to January 1st, 2013, Alberta's population grew to an estimated 3,931,000 people at a growth rate slightly over 3 percent which was well over the national average of 1.1 percent. Learn more about how Alberta is Accommodating the Inbound.
While Alberta is still behind Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia in terms of size, our population growth was considerably larger, especially in comparison to Quebec and Ontario where the growth rate was less than a third of Alberta's.
As of January 1st, 2013, Ontario still has the most citizens with approximately 13.56 million. Next up is Quebec with 8.1 million and British Columbia with 4.6 million. Fourth is Alberta with 3.931 million people.
Prairie Provinces See the Most Growth
Population growth is trending upward for the Prairie Provinces. Manitoba and Saskatchewan also saw population growth rates that were higher than the provincial average of 1.1 percent.
Without taking into consideration the Atlantic area of British Columbia, the province saw the lowest growth rate in Western Canada with only a slight 0.84 percent population increase of around 700,000 people.
If the Prairie Provinces continue to see high population growth rates, then it is likely Alberta will soon take over B.C.'s place as 3rd for the highest population in Canada. It will take an estimated 8 years for Alberta to surpass B.C. in population if both of the provinces growth rates stay the same as they were in 2012.

Child Soldiers International
Charity information
Child Soldiers International
Child Soldiers International wants all children to enjoy their human rights, free from military use and exploitation.
To achieve this, we work with communities to prevent the recruitment of children, and to support the reintegration of former child soldiers. We advocate for stronger legal standards worldwide. And we campaign to ensure that decision-makers protect children's rights more effectively.
Founded 2003
Mission statement
Child Soldiers International works to prevent all military recruitment of children.
We collaborate with communities, helping them to safeguard their children from recruiters, while also building information about the problem and developing effective responses. Working with those communities, we then engage with national and international authorities to better protect children's rights.
Together with local partners, we support children to avoid being recruited and used for military purposes. With the right support, children can become powerful advocates for their own rights and are often the most effective campaigners in their own communities.
We combine our projects in a handful of priority countries with work to improve standards internationally.
Most of the world is moving slowly towards an effective ban on involving anyone under the age of 18 in armed forces or groups, although there is still a long way to go. We support this process, with the aim of one day seeing an end to the use of children by all military forces.
Child Soldiers International aims to:
- End all recruitment, use and exploitation of children by armed forces and groups.

Increased levels of carbon dioxide could reduce brainpower. Climate change could affect our ability to think, according to new research that found link between rising carbon dioxide levels and reduced cognitive abilities in humans.
Scientists at University College London (UCL) found that higher concentrations of CO2 reduce memory, impair concentration and lower decision making capabilities. Their findings add to a growing body of research into the effect of elevated CO2 levels on brain function. A Harvard study found that poorly ventilated workplaces could adversely affect employees' cognitive performance.
A study conducted in China by Yale School of Public Health found significant reduction in language and mathematics test scores among participants exposed to polluted air.
It showed language abilities were particularly affected and that men's scores suffered more than women's. However, the effects of air pollution were most pronounced in elderly people, particularly those over sixty-four years old.
Earlier this year the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii, part of the national Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), recorded the highest ever monthly CO2 average of four hundred ten parts per million in the atmosphere. The observatory's record shows a thirty percent rise in CO2 concentrations since atmospheric readings began in 1958.
Almost two hundred countries signed the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit greenhouse gas emission to keep the increase in global temperatures to well below 2ºC above pre-industrial levels, but many are falling short of the Agreement goals.
The United Nations Environment Programmes latest Emissions Gap Report warned that global greenhouse gas emission in 2030 will be far higher than the level targeted to keep global temperatures within 2ºC in this century.
At the current rate of growth, CO2 in the atmosphere could surpass 45PPM by 2038.
This is expected to have serious consequences for the planet earth, and also for human health. While the slowing of cognitive function is only part of that bigger picture, it could have a major impact on global productivity and innovation.

Aurora Borealis timelapse HD - Tromsø 2010 from Tor Even Mathisen on Vimeo.
William Cowper, an English poet once said that winter is the ruler of the inverted year. He went on to crown winter king of intimate delights and undisturbed comfort of home. With that said, today is the shortest day of the year and the official start to winter here in the U.S.A.
According to Wikipedia, the winter solstice occurs exactly when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26'. I like this description from the Adventure Journal better:
"But winter's darkness is also a source of wonder, of awe, and maybe a little mysticism.
Just watch Tor Even Mathisen's gorgeous time-lapse video of the Northern Lights. It was shot just above the Arctic Circle, in and around Tromsø, Norway, an area Viking settlers invaded in roughly 600 A.D. Imagine what they must have thought as the region plunged fully into darkness for the entire month of December and the only illumination from overhead came as a celestial light show, glowing eerily green and dancing wildly.
Yes, yes, it's the sun's coronal blast (solar wind) being trapped by the earth's magnetosphere, more visible at the poles due to their greater magnetism; the zero-watt bulb of December/June also makes the Aurora easier to spy in the Arctic/Antarctic. But to any explorer from milder zones, going north to a place where the sun refused to rise, the first sight of the Aurora must surely have been almost too terrifying—a false dawn that never came, a cold that didn't ebb. And then, at last when the sun returned, just try to imagine the relief and joy. Even a tough old Viking would feel reborn."
Thanks to Eryn at Studio 22 for sharing this with me.
Happy winter solstice!

- Wall Street has some trust issues with the Federal Reserve — they don't quite believe the central bank's indication that it will keep rates low even as the economy recovers.
- A sharp reassessment of expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes has helped drive the market's steep losses.
- Officials have so far dismissed the market's turbulence as a natural and perhaps even healthy adjustment for a stock market that had rallied very far very fast.
- Roberto Perli, a former Fed economist and founder of Cornerstone Macro in Washington says the comments "miss the point, because they treat recent market action as if it happened in a vacuum and was independent of perceptions of Fed policy."
The Federal Reserve has a communications problem.
Key to Wall Street's precipitous dive over the past week have been rather sharp readjustments for market expectations of more Fed interest rates increases than previously anticipated.
This suggests that, in spite of repeated reassurances from Fed officials that its monetary tightening is gradual and not intended to choke off the economic recovery, policymakers are not doing a very good job at getting their message across.
Officials have so far dismissed the market's turbulence as a natural and perhaps even healthy adjustment for a stock market that had rallied very far very fast.
Outgoing New York Fed President William Dudley, a former Goldman Sachs banker, was dismissive of the market's wipe out, calling it "small potatoes." Amid a string of sharp declines, the Dow Jones industrial has posted two-days of four-digit losses, including the biggest ever point drop on the index. Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan, also ex-Goldman, was similarly optimistic, describing the selloff as "healthy."
Roberto Perli, a former Fed economist and founder of Cornerstone Macro in Washington says the comments "miss the point, because they treat recent market action as if it happened in a vacuum and was independent of perceptions of Fed policy."
In fact, "markets are reacting to fears of a resurgence in inflation and fears that the Fed might respond aggressively to such resurgence," Perli writes in a research note to clients.
"The recent market volatility is related to Fed policy because it is largely due to fears of inflation and fears that the Fed will overreact to rising inflation," Perli, said, although he does not believe such fears will materialize. "In the past, whenever the Fed pushed the funds rate enough above its neutral level, a recession followed not too long after."
The Fed's 'self-inflicted wound'
The market's abrupt adjustment comes despite repeated reassurances from Janet Yellen, and even the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee itself, that the Fed "expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant further gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run."
So why don't markets buy it? Because of a mix of past experience, a very recent change of guard with the takeover of Jerome Powell at the helm and, and concerns that the 2% inflation target is in fact a ceiling.
That is, the Fed has tolerated inflation below 2% for so long, most of the economic recovery, in fact, that market participants have come to believe officials will freak out and tighten policy more aggressively as soon as the target is on the horizon.
Indeed, the selloff first started last Friday after the latest employment report showed average hourly earnings climbing at an annual pace of 2.9%, the strongest showing since the recession.
Ady Barkan, founder of the Fed Up movement and long-time advocate for a low interest rate policy to help lower-income communities at the Center for Popular Democracy, told Business Insider "there is zero reason for the market to be reacting negatively to wage growth."
The problem is of the central bank's own making, a "self-inflicted wound" created by excessive worries about inflation and not enough of a focus on the employment side of its mandate, Barkan said.
"The Fed is so afraid of inflation that everybody thinks they're going to intentionally slow down the economy in response to wage growth," he said. "With a better Fed that was willing to speak publicly and affirmatively about the benefits of wage growth and the genuinely symmetric nature of the inflation target, we would not have this market volatility."
One Fed official has emerged with such a message. Asked about the market volatility and its relationship to the wage growth figure, Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed, told Business Insider this week:
"If wages are finally growing, that's a net positive for the economy. Certainly, it's a positive for workers. So I'm not too focused on the stock market's gyrations."

Lady Pirates Softball split a pair of games Sunday with North Dakota State College of Science. NCMC dropped the opener 2-0 but rebounded to take the second game 13-5. With an overall record of 5-1, the Lady Pirates next action will be Wednesday as they open their home slate of games with Southwestern Community College.
"While we aren't playing our best right now, I am not worried about the progress of the team. It is still early in the season and we know the areas we need to improve to reach our goals," commented Coach Richman. "In game one, we hit the ball well but the other team made some excellent plays. Game two we were able to find the holes and get our offense on track." Richman also added that his team pitched very well in the doubleheader.

The Bishop Museum
The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, designated the Hawaiʻi State Museum of Natural and Cultural History, is a museum ofhistory and science in the historic Kalihi district of Honolulu. Founded in 1889, it is the largest museum in Hawai'i and is home to the world's largest collection of Polynesian cultural and scientific artifacts. Besides the comprehensive exhibits of Hawaiiana, the Bishop Museum has an extensive entomological collection of over 13.5 million specimens, the third largest collection in the United States. The museum is accessible on public transit: TheBus Routes A, B, 1, 2, 7, 10.
Charles Reed Bishop, a Hawaiian philanthropist and co-founder of Kamehameha Schools and First Hawaiian Bank, built the museum in memory of his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. She was the last legal heir of the Kamehameha Dynasty, which ruled the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi between 1810 and 1872. Bishop had originally intended the museum to house family heirlooms passed down to him through the royal lineage of his wife.
The museum was built on the original boys campus of Kamehameha Schools, an institution created to benefit native Hawaiian children as outlined in the Princess' last will and testament. In 1898, Bishop constructed Hawaiian Hall and Polynesian Hall in the Victorian architectural style. The Pacific Commercial Advertiser newspaper dubbed the buildings as "the noblest buildings of Honolulu." Both Hawaiian Hall and Polynesian Hall stand today and have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Hawaiian Hall is home to a complete Sperm Whale skeleton with papier-mâché body suspended above the central gallery. Along the walls are prized koa wood display cases worth more than the original Bishop Museum buildings. It is also home to The Hawaiian Royal Regalia, including the Hawaiian royal crown and the consort's crown.
In 1940, Kamehameha Schools moved to its new campus in Kapalama. This allowed the museum to expand. Most school structures were razed and new museum facilities were constructed. By the late 1980s, the Bishop Museum had become the largest natural and cultural history institution in the Pacific Rim.
In 1988, construction of the Castle Memorial Building was begun. Dedicated on January 13, 1990, Castle Memorial Building houses all the major traveling exhibits that come to the Bishop Museum from institutions around the world.
The Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center opened in November, 2005. The building is designed as a learning center for children, and includes many interactive exhibits focused on marine science, volcanology, and related sciences.
On the campus of Bishop Museum is the Jhamandas Watumull Planetarium, an educational and research facility devoted to the astronomical sciences. There is a lifesize replica of a moai or massive stone idol found in the Polynesian island of Rapa Nui as visitors enter the campus. Also on the campus is Pauahi Hall, home to the J. Linsley Gressit Center for Research in Entomology which houses some 14 million prepared specimens of insects and related arthropods, including over 16,500 primary types, making it the third largest entomology collection in the United States and the eighth largest in the world. An active research facility, Pauahi Hall is not open to the public. Nearby is Pākī Hall, home to the Hawaiʻi Sports Hall of Fame, a museum library and archives, open to the public.
The Bishop Museum also administers the Hawaiʻi Maritime Center in downtown Honolulu. Built on a former private pier of Honolulu Harbor for the royal family, the center is the premier maritime museum in the Pacific Rim with artifacts in relation to the Pacific whaling industry and the Hawaiʻi steamship industry.
From 1968 until September 2008, the Bishop Museum owned and included at the Maritime Center the world's only surviving sail-driven oil tanker, Falls of Clyde. The ship deteriorated severely, and was eventually closed to the public. The museum had plans to sink the ship by the end of 2008 unless private funds were raised for a perpetual care endowment. On September 28, 2008, ownership was transferred to the non-profit group, Friends of Falls of Clyde, which intends to restore the ship. In October 2008, the Bishop Museum was accused of "incompetence and dishonesty" for having raised $600,000 to preserve the ship but then spending only about half on the ship. The accusation also focused on other decisions about how the money was used.
On the Big Island of Hawai'i, the Bishop Museum administers the Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden, specializing in indigenous Hawaiian plant life.
The Secretariat of the Pacific Science Association (PSA), an independent regional, non-governmental, scholarly organization that seeks to advance science and technology in support of sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific, has been based at Bishop Museum since PSA's founding in 1920.

Lighter than the Duke this is the recommended binding for light-weight big mountain riders.
As the lighter cousin to the Duke with a DIN setting up 13, the Baron has earned its stripes as a favorite amongst big mountain, backcountry enthusiasts. Extended Power Frame (EPF), with its extra-wide connection to the ski, gives it the structure needed to power today's wider skis through any snow conditions, whether inside or outside the resort. The 10 mm wider drilling pattern blasts the Baron into a new stratosphere of power, with a DIN setting up 13. In addition the Baron 13 EPF also comes with Sole.ID and the easy-to-handle climbing aid.
Whatever boot you wear, all Marker SOLE.ID bindings are compatible to every kind of ski boot! Whether you prefer alpine boots or boots with touring sole, with SOLE.ID the bindings can be adjusted in seconds. The secret is the height-adjustable gliding plate; easy to handle and of course providing uncompromising performance. SOLE.ID respects ISO 5355 (alpine boots) and ISO 9523 (boots with touring soles).
Triple Pivot Elite Toe – The toe construction with DIN/ISO up to Z 18 allows for impressive retention when freeriding. The spring in the toe is inserted horizontally and with a sole plate inclined by 5° it provides the highest energy absorption so as to reduce the risk of early release. The large supporting surface optimizes the power transmission and allows for great stresses and strains. In relation to their weight, toes with this technology therefore achieve a never-seen-before performance.
Gliding AFD – All MARKER bindings are equipped with a moveable AFD (anti friction device) leading to a highly precise release almost entirely unhindered by dirt, snow and ice! Individual adjustment of the AFD to the area of application ensures perfect functionality - from racing, for children's bindings or on ski tours.
Inter Pivot Heel – The stunning heel construction delivers superior holding power for free riding, featuring DIN/ISO 6-16. The Inter Pivot Heel directs the power forces in the angle of elasticity improving the holding power and reducing pre-releases.
Magnesium is THE lightest and most robust metal construction material, making it perfect for our high-end products. This makes you well equipped for a faster run and the most radical lines!
Marker recommends a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

During 2017, approximately 12,000 assault offences were reported in Sweden in which the perpetrator was in an intimate relationship with the victim. In the Swedish Crime Survey, 18 per cent of those who were exposed to assault in 2016 state that the perpetrator was closely related.
Relationship to the perpetrator in conjunction with assault, 2016. Incidents as a percentage of the total number of incidents, based on gender. Source: SCS 2017
In the Swedish Crime Survey, a total of 18 per cent of those exposed to assault in 2016 stated that the perpetrator was closely related to the victim. The intimate relationship of the perpetrator was a factor for women in 40 per cent of the incidents, while the corresponding percentage for men is only 3 per cent.
In Brå's national survey of offences in intimate relationships (2014), 6.8 per cent of the population stated that they were exposed to an offence in an intimate relationship during 2012. The percentage of women who were exposed to an offence in an intimate relationship during 2012 was, essentially, the same as the percentage of exposed men (7.0 per cent of the women and 6.7 per cent of the men). However, when one looks at exposure to offences in intimate relationships throughout the course of one's life, a greater percentage of women have stated that they have been exposed; slightly more than 25 per cent of all women and slightly less than 17 per cent of all men in the population.
Exposure during 2012 also breaks down evenly between the genders when one looks at psychological violence and physical violence separately; 6.8 per cent of the women and 6.2 per cent of the men were exposed to psychological violence, while 2.2 per cent of the women and 2.0 per cent of the men were exposed to physical violence.
The two most common types of offence are systematic violations of integrity and attempts to restrict liberty. Some were exposed to both physical and psychological violence within the relationship. Of those exposed to physical violence during 2012, almost 85 per cent were also exposed to psychological violence, while slightly less than 28 per cent of those who are exposed to psychological violence were also exposed to physical violence.
Although exposure during 2012 appears to be broken down evenly between women and men, it is more common for women to be exposed to aggravated violence which leads to a need for help and support, above all medical care. Among those persons who were exposed to aggravated assault, 29.1 per cent of the women and 2.4 per cent of the men stated that they visited, or needed to visit, a doctor, nurse, or dentist.
The background factors which appear to be most relevant are age, family relationship, education, type of residence, and financial circumstances. Exposure is highest among persons who are 16 – 34 years of age, single parents, persons whose highest level of education is upper secondary education, and persons living in multiple dwelling blocks. The financial conditions of exposed women are often worse than those of women who have not been exposed. There does not appear to be any clear differences in exposure between persons born in Sweden and persons born abroad.
Almost half of the persons exposed to psychological violence during 2012 stated that the violence was recurring during the year. Women state that they have been exposed to recurring psychological violence to a higher extent (56 per cent of the exposed women as compared with 40 per cent of the exposed men).
Of those who were exposed to an offence in an intimate relationship during 2012, 3.9 per cent stated that they reported the incident or some of the incidents to the police. The percentage of women who reported was somewhat higher than the percentage of men. According to the survey, the most common reason by far for not reporting to the police was that the person considered the incident to be minor. The choice to sort the incident out privately was also stated as a reason.
Type of crime scene for assault, 2016. Percentage of the total number of reported incidents by location. Source: SCS 2017
The most common type of crime scene for assault is a public place. This is followed by work/school. It is least common for an assault offence to have taken place in the residence of the victim, the perpetrator, or another party, as well as in another place. However, the differences are great between the genders.
Exposed women state, to a significantly higher degree than do exposed
men, that they have been exposed to assault in a residence (36% as compared with 12%). Men are exposed to assault in which the crime scene is a public place in half of the cases (50%), while the corresponding percentage for women is roughly one-fifth (28%).
Number of reported assault offences in intimate relationships with the victim (against women 18 years of age and older and against men 18 years of age and older), as well as reported offences for aggravated violations of integrity and aggravated violations of a woman's integrity.

An intimate relationship is one where a person has, or has had, a partnership relationship with a girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, or husband, regardless of whether the couple lives together.

By The Stars — Punch It! — Week Twenty-Nine
In the realm of concrete words-on-a-page progress, I've got only a handful of scribbled notes to report. I spent a decent bit of the weekend fretting, cying, bellyaching, and tearing my hair out over this latest creative drought. Just yesterday morning I was ready to hang the whole thing up again.
Then I thought, to hell with all that! It's wasted energy I could be using for a dozen better things, particularly in shoving By The Stars into playtesting. So that's what I'm going to do.
I've got no rules draft. I've got no scenario. I've got no characters. I've got no regular players lined up and committed. But there is one thing I do got: my spine. I'm not sure how I found it, and I'm not sure how long I'm gonna be able to hold onto it, but I'd better use it while I got it.
Therefore, I've just sent a bunch of local (and not-so-local) folks the following e-mail (if you didn't get one and want one, I apologize for the oversight, let me know and I'll put you on the list):
Hey, All!
As you may know, I've been working on designing a space fantasy game called By The Stars. For close to a year I've been struggling with it, often spinning my wheels fruitlessly. To get this game done, I need to revamp my methods. To that end, I'm going to be holding open playtesting of By The Stars. I'd appreciate if you could come and help me out.
We'll be playing at my house. I'll hold the playtests every other Sunday afternoon, starting at 1:00 pm. We'll play with whomever shows up–there's no pressure to make it to every single session. We'll play for a few hours, discuss what works about the game, what doesn't work, and what can be improved. We'll finish up with ordering dinner from a local restaurant, and possibly a board game or two. The first time you show up for a session, I'll buy you dinner as a way of saying "Thank you!"
Although I want to start this RIGHT NOW, I have previous commitments. The first session will be Sunday, March 25. We'll skip April 8 because it's Easter and continue on April 22.
That gives me a bit over two weeks to come up with something actually playtestable. I can do that. I swear by the stars that I will!

As I sip my morning coffee in Bombay, back to the sights, sounds and smells of India, it seems strange to think last weekend I was in Europe!
It was a brilliant impromptu trip with many wonderful moments. Lucky me, last Saturday a friend had time to show me slices of 'her' Amsterdam that I'd be unlikely to explore on my own…
While originally from Japan, she's called Holland home for 30 years – lured by her love of Western classical music and art.
We started in Jordaan where she lives but quickly moved on to Amsterdam Centraal Station. However instead of turning right into the hustle and bustle of central Amsterdam we turned left…
Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam for a library lunch
What a marvellous idea to have lunch on the top floor of the Openbare Bibliotheek Asmterdam (OBA) in Oosterdokseiland, just east of the station. Fresh juices, wide range of salad options, fish, meat, Asian stir fries, crisp oven fired pizzas, coffees, teas and more, V&D La Place delivered on yum food with a fabulous view of central Amsterdam.
Libraries have always been 'home' for me – one of my early jobs was working at the Winnipeg Public Library, then the Institute of Islamic Studies Library at McGill University and years of research…
So in addition to satiating my appetite for food, it was a joy to see 10 floors of books, CDs and more! The library boasts of 28,500 m2, 1200 seats, 600 Internet-connected computers and a staff of 200. There is also an auditorium, an exhibition room, the Library Museum, the Gerard Reve Museum and 2000 parking spaces for bicycles (this IS Amsterdam after all!).
Highlight for me was the delightful mouse house in the children's section. While most of the pics didn't turn out (dratted reflection of the glass), it is well worth going to see.
Here are only a few images of the remarkable mouse house…
And yes – the view is fabulous even though they had already shut the outdoor café section.
New music conservatory for another view
We then went next door to wander the halls of the new music conservatory.
I had a flood of memories of years of music classes… sitting on the steps of the School of Music at the University of Manitoba waiting for my piano lessons… hearing the strains of music, rehearsals, chatting with guitarist Rodrigo Munoz – aka Papa Mambo before he was known for his group which 20 years later remains the latin pulse of Winnipeg…
Somehow the feel of a serious music school is the same anywhere in the world… the languages of music transcend borders even if the expression is opera, jazz or punk rock. I'm always in awe of those who listen to music's call and devote their lives to bringing joy, sorrow and more to us mere spectators – the audience.
With posters announcing all sorts of interesting workshops, concerts and programmes… I could have spent a week just absorbing all the musical education on offer… including one that certainly appealed to the 'Indian' side of my nature.
And the view was an interesting perspective on old and new Amsterdam. To my right were all the gorgeous old buildings, well-preserved to the delight of tourists and locals alike. To my left emerged a new skyline of modern buildings and train lines… the box like structures to be found as easily in North America as Europe…
Old music conservatory transformed
In contrast with the sparkling glass building of the new conservatory, our next stop was the Conservatorium Hotel, designed by the Dutch architect Daniel Knuttel as the Rijkspostspaarbank in the Museum Quarter at the end of the 19th century.
As we strolled through this gorgeous hotel, my friend shared her insights into its earlier incarnation as the Sweelinck Conservatorium (1978-2008), consisting of three musical institutes.
At a 'mere' 450 Euros / night, it isn't within my budget, but for those who can afford it, what a privilege to stay in a piece of Amsterdam's history.
We rejoined our other friends as they finished their afternoon at the Rijks Museum to a boisterous band heralding the opening of the skating rink. Yup – winter was officially welcomed to Europe! Such a contrast to the balmy breeze of Bombay…

Brownie Bottom Ice Cream Cake
This Brownie Bottom Ice Cream Cake is the BEST Ice Cream Cake EVER! You've got a thick fudgy brownie layer on the bottom topped with creamy chocolate frosting, cookie dough ice cream, whipped cream and sprinkles!
My kids are fairly jaded when it comes to desserts. When they come home from school and there is a giant plate of cookies waiting for them, they don't even waggle an eyebrow. Same old, same old. They have even, on occasion, bypassed my fresh baked cookies for Oreos. I kid you not.
BUT since I just chalk that up to kids being weird, I don't let them get to me. However, they do, every so often, have a pretty fab idea. Which bring me to…
The BEST Ice Cream Cake In All of the Land!
I cannot take full credit for the inception of this cake. You wanna know why? I actually don't like ice cream cake. GASP I KNOW.
Let me explain a quick minute before I lose you. The thing is generally ice cream cakes are…well…all ice cream. I know, I know, duh. I am an oddball. Ice cream isn't my favorite. I mean I love it when ice cream is filled with delicious extras, but I kinda-sorta pick those out and leave all the ice cream.
But that's why this is the BEST Ice Cream Cake…it is filled with all sorts of other yummy things that while it is definitely an ice cream cake, it is a Brownie Bottom Ice Cream Cake topped with chocolate frosting, cookie dough ice cream, whipped cream and sprinkles. You're into this, right?
How To Make Brownie Bottom Ice Cream Cake
It's really super simple, and there are tons of variations that we will get to in a minute. But first let's start with the basics:
- Bake up some brownies in an 8×8 or 11×7 pan. But make sure the pan has deep sides, because you are going to be topping the brownie with all the extras and you don't want it to overflow! I used a boxed brownie mix for ease in this recipe, but 100% absolutely you can bake brownies from scratch. My Fudgy Brownies recipe would work great! More on the size of the brownie mix in a minute.
- Top the brownies with some frosting! You can make your own homemade chocolate frosting, or certainly you can use canned chocolate frosting. Completely up to you and your willingness. Pop the pan in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the frosting set up.
- While the frosting is chilling, pull out your ice cream from the freezer to let it soften up, so it will spread easily.
- You're pretty much done at this point. Cover the cake with cling wrap and let it freeze for a few hours.
- When you're ready to serve it up, make some homemade whipped cream and spread that on top of the ice cream and then finally SPRINKLES!
This Ice Cream Cake is TOTALLY Adaptable!
Here's where I am going to try to answer all your questions! There are TONS of adaptations to this "recipe", and I wan tto set you up for success. So let's chat…
What Size Brownie Mix Do I Use?
Ok, here's the deal. I wrote this recipe using a "regular" sized brownie mix, not a "Family Size" brownie mix. Generally a "Family Size" brownie mix says Bake in a 9×13 Pan on the front. When I buy and make Family Size brownies I always bake them in a 9×9 pan, because I like thicker brownies. But for this recipe a thicker brownie in a 9×9 pan might not leave enough room for all your ice cream unless the pan has tall sides. AND if you use a 9×13 sized pan, the layers of brownie, ice cream, and frosting will be super thin. Have I confused you yet?
So the recipe is written for a 10-ish ounce brownie mix, not an 18-ish ounce brownie mix. BUT. Here's where I am really going to mess with your brain. You can EASILY make this recipe in a 9×13 pan, you will just need to increase the amount of frosting, ice cream and whipped cream by about a third.
Trust me, you're not going to mess ANYTHING up. Make it as big or as small as you want, it's totally up to you. Use this recipe as a guideline and get creative!
Side note – I have even made this using a Family Sized Brownie mix in a 9×9 pan with all the rest of the measurements the same, it just almost overflowed my pan because I didn't decrease the amount of ice cream, but I wan't made about it!
Can I Use Different Flavors of Ice Cream?
1000% yes! Cookie Dough is my favorite, so that's what I used. But imagine the flavor possibilities:
- Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: This would be so amazing on top of the brownie and chocolate frosting. You could even use mini chocolate chips instead of sprinkles!
- Strawberry Ice Cream: You would have a Neapolitan situation going on!
- Vanilla: Nothing wrong with a little plain vanilla for the purest!
- Rocky Road: This could be great with chopped peanuts on top of the whipped cream!
- Cookies and Cream: Imagine this with chopped Oreo cookies as a garnish!
- Butter Pecan: Top the brownie with caramel instead of frosting and sprinkle the whipped cream with chopped candied pecans!
Will the Brownie Be Frozen and Solid?
Nope! Here are my tips to brownie success when it comes to this ice cream cake:
- Under-bake the brownie a bit. This is normal for me, as I prefer ooey-gooey brownies, but if you're a rule follower and like to bake a brownie all the way, consider bending the rules slightly here.
- I bake brownies until a toothpick inserted an inch or two from the edge of the pan comes out clean. If the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it's over-baked in my book.
- An under-baked brownie in this recipe will stay softer.
- Also make sure you allow the cake to sit out for 15-20 minutes or so before you slice it! Of course it will be rock solid if you try and eat it straight from the freezer…I mean, it's frozen! So let it warm up a touch and you'll be set!

My 15 year old requested an ice cream cake for his birthday. Not one I made either. I was a little insulted but then i realized it's because we ALWAYS have cake or cookies or something working in the kitchen so it's just something he's not used to getting very often. At least that's how I'm going to interpret it.
This does look good. I like the chocolate frosting in the middle. I think brownies always need frosting.
Great recipe. I made this for my husbands birthday and he loved it. Rather than chocolate frosting I used a thin layer of hot fudge topping and ground up chocolate chips (used a mini food processor). I put that on right after the brownie layer. Since the cake was just for two I used an 8×8 pan and used half of a family size brownie mix. I cut the brownie ingredients in half (one egg instead of two, half the oil). Came out very good- like a thick crust instead of a brownie portion. I might use cool whip instead of making whipped cream next time just to make it a little faster.
What square pan did you use? I used our 8×8 pyrex for the brownies and the bottom 2 layers are sitting in the fridge right now and I have maybe an inch for ice cream :/ and I know I got the normal brownies, not family sized. So I just think my dish wasn't deep enough! Looks like it will HAVE to overflow 🙂
Looks sooo yummy 🙂
Hi Shelly,
I can't wait to make this! So many awesome birthday memories involving ice cream cakes, but brownies are even better! Can you please tell me what pan you used? Brand name? Where you got it? It looks nice and deep and I would love to find one like that. Is it 3 inches high? Any info/help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
It was my turn to bring birthday treats for a co-worker today at school. I made 2 of these in a 9 x 13 size. Let me tell you I was TOTALLY queen for the day (kinda stole the thunder from the birthday girl, LOL) They were BEAUTIFUL, and OH so delicious. I made the mistake of making them in the portable foil pans…the super tall lid on them was GREAT, but every slice I made cut through the metal pan. Oh, well. This is definitely going into my "DO AGAIN ASAP" recipe folder!
I made this yesterday for a friend's birthday and it was phenomenal! Boxed brownies, followed by some canned fudge icing, topped with a few crushed birthday cake Oreos, then cookies and cream ice cream, some crushed regular Oreos, then homemade whipped cream (with some added stabilizer so it would freeze well until being served today). I toolkit out 20 minutes before being served, and it was perfect.
I love making decadent desserts from scratch, but it was so wonderful to take some shortcuts – and even better that it turned out to be one of the best desserts I've ever made!
Thank you for such a great recipe.
I made this for my son's girlfriend for her b-day. She loves anything brownie. But it turned out perfect! The best brownie desert I have ever had. I used cookie dough ice cream being as it's her favorite flavor. I also used Betty crocker fudge brownies. Along with milk chocolate frosting and real whipped cream. I will make this again and again and again. We all absolutely loved it! Great recipe no matter what you want to call it.
I made this today and it was really fantastic with our Memorial day cookout. I debated my pan choice a while… thinking my 8×8 wouldn't leave enough height for ice cream and whipped cream, I split my brownie batter between 2 loaf pans. It was perfect as far as accommodating all of the layers, but the brownie layer was too thick and super rich. Next time ( oh yes, there will definitely be a next time) I'll use my spring form or a 13×9. Can't wait to try Blondie bottom, strawberry jam, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and then garnish with fresh strawberries. Thanks so much for the recipe. My family thinks I'm a master chef tonight!
Thank you for such a great recipe! I made it for a church function and It got rave reviews.
Since it was "going to church" I did find a way to dress it up.
I made it in a springform pan, lining bottom and sides with parchment paper. I left it in the pan and followed all directions until just before the whipped topping was added. At that point I released it from the pan and pulled off the parchment paper from the sides only. Then I covered the sides with cookie crumbs. I topped that with the whipped topping and some sprinkles.
Thanks again.

As those of us who have worked with lab mice over the years know, they
don't appear to make much noise unless they're upset about
something. To human ears, they're usually silent unless you pick
one up or they start fighting among themselves. But mice don't
perceive the world with human ears and, like many mammals, they can
hear in higher frequencies than humans and make noises in that range
as well. Some researchers decided to take a listen
to what the mice might be hearing of their world and discovered that
male mice appear to make some ultrasound noise directed at
females. As reported by CNN, when the researchers transformed their recordings
into a range that could be perceived by humans, they sounded remarkably
like birdsongs which, among other things, are also used for attracting
mates. Although CNN did a surprisingly good job of explaining the
interest of this finding in layman's terms, this is Ars, so we get to be a bit more
technical and informative.
If this turns out just to be a generic mouse attracting noise, it would
not be very exciting (except perhaps to exterminators), as that sort of
behavior goes on instinctually in things with unsophisticated nervous
systems, such as insects. True song, such as that used by birds
and humpback whales, however, is a different thing entirely.
Songs such as the ones composed by these species are sophisticated,
change over time, and are the product of both learned abilities and the
social aspects of hearing the songs of others of their
species. If it is shown that mice are singing in this more
sophisticated sense, it will be very exciting. To understand why
though, you need to know a bit more about both mice and another singing
animal, the bird.
The discovery of the learned and individual aspects of bird song
revealed that non-mammals could also engage in sophisticated social
interactions. When the basis of song in the nervous system was
examined in detail, it changed how we view the adult brain and opened
new avenues of research. It turned out that many species of birds
produce a new song every year, using a combination of what their fellow
birds are singing and what they've sung in the past. As this
capacity for song was explored, it was found to be based in part on
newly generated neurons in the birds' brain. This overturned the
previous dogma of neurobiology, which held that adult vertebrates were
limited strictly to the nerve cells that embryonic and early
development had left them with. Excitement built as these newly
created adult neurons were shown to be the products of a previously
unknown population of neural stem cells. The possibility that
such stem cells could be used to repair neural injury and disease played
a significant role in raising stem cell research to the profile it
currently has.
Amidst all the excitement, research in birds themselves has been
largely dropped from the study of stem cells and neural plasticity,
primarily because birds are not amenable to genetic studies, have a
long generation time, and are difficult to keep in large numbers.
Humpback whales are even worse in these regards. Mice suffer no
such problems - thousands can be kept in a single room, and they've
been the subject of genetic study since the 1920s, leaving us with many
experimental tools to examine their nervous system and behavior.
The possibility that we could study the sophisticated learning and
behavioral processes involved in true song using the equally
sophisticated tools available in the lab mouse is a very exciting one,
and could lead to rapid advances in many fields.

How to Be A Prosumer
The term 'Prosumer' was originally coined by the futurist and philosopher Alvin Toffler, and is a combination of the words 'producer' and 'consumer'. It expresses the idea that the traditionally very separate economic roles of producer and consumer have begun to merge, and the hope that this trend will continue.
The corporate world has attempted to corrupt this term, producing professional grade products for hobbyists and labelling them as prosumer along with the false claim that it derived from the terms 'professional' and 'consumer' (this is particularly common with photography equipment, but can also be found elsewhere). This, however, is not the original derivation of the term and is not the one used here.
The Prosumer Revolution
The shift towards a prosumer economy is all about cutting down the role of the corporation, and increasing the role of the regular consumer in the process of production.
This shift has been facilitated by technology, and new technologies promise to continue the same trend. You can see this shift already at work in many areas. Whereas once the publishing industry controlled what we read through a small number of channels, for example, today many people are participating in the industry by writing blogs, social media posts, making videos and so on. Sometimes they make a little extra money from this - but it is not a career. They are primarily consumers of media products who are participating in the processes of production. The music industry has seen a similar shift away from the power of record labels and towards individual music lovers sharing their creations, and a wide range of other industries have been affected too.
The growth of Peer to Peer technologies has been the main driving force behind this, as people are empowered to take control of both the means of consumption and the means of production. Peer to peer digital currencies promise to push this trend much further, as do a range of potential new applications built on the blockchain technology pioneered by Bitcoin (NameCoin's distributed DNS, Ethereum's smart contracts etc.).
Other technologies are also helping to feed this trend. For example, although 3D printing is still at an early stage in terms of its economic viability, it promises to have the same effect on the way we produce and consume physical products as the internet had on the way we produce and consume media products.
A prosumer economy is one in which the people succeed in attaining what the communists always wanted - taking control of the means of production - but without the oppressive government control and suppression of innovation which went along with communism. It is an economy which is controlled by the people themselves, and corporate entities exist primarily to facilitate individual economic relationships between people rather than to control and direct large parts of the economy. If this trend continues then within a few decades we may reach a situation in which most people either work for a company part-time or not at all, and instead make money through their hobbies and enjoy cheaper products which they and the communities they are involved with have built purely for the love of it rather than for the profit.
There are lots of ways that you can get involved and become a prosumer. Here are a few suggestions:
- Choose free, open source products rather than buying branded ones.
- Get involved in customizing and improving those products wherever you can.
- Don't give yourself away cheaply - try to use sites which share their revenue with users.
- Use peer to peer digital currencies.
- Learn to make stuff - then share it, sell it, or teach others to do the same (perhaps through articles or videos on a revenue sharing website!). DIY can be way more than just putting up a few shelves: it can be anything at all, from artwork and music, to cushion covers and clothes, to gardening and cooking, to building gadgets and computer programs.
- Consider buying yourself a 3D printer.
- Support independent artists of all kinds, and be willing to pay them a little something if you like what they are doing (perhaps with Devcoins!)
- Spread the word and support this economic revolution!

Opinions of Tuesday, 19 October 2010
Columnist: Lamptey, Alfred
In recent times, Ghana has been able to manage a smooth and peaceful political
transition, and has created a political and policy environment conducive to
economic and social progress.
It is very disgraceful that a country like Ghana that can be grouped among the
giants of Africa is still suffering from the problem of filth. The multitude of
environmental sanitation problems which besetthe country is due to the attitudes
of Ghanaians. In the streets of Accra, Kumasi,Tarkoradi, Ho and other parts of
the regional capitals, there is no single place that you will pass that you will
not encounter the problems of filth, talking about the central business centers,
these regional capitals- Tema station, Circle, the Kaneshie market, Kejetia,
Takoradi central market , Ho central market etc
The causes of this filth in the country are being attributed to the inadequate
education of the citizens about sanitation. For the problem of sanitation to be
solved there need to be the education of the citizens about the need to keep
away from filth, and this education can be done through television programs and
by making the media a center machine. This education is to add to the existing
ways of solving filth in the country.
Also, lack of patriotism is a cause of filth in the country this is because when
Ghanaian are able to hold high the love of this country in their heart, the
deposition of filth at unacceptable places will cease. The introduction of the
sanitary inspectors will help in the management of sanitation in the country, if
you get to the central business centers in the country, Agbogloshie, Makola,
kejetia to be precise, the heap of filth at this place are unimaginable not
forgetting the scent it generates, but yet still there is marketing going on at
such places. Some of the products sold at these places are consumable. How well
will these products will help the development of the human health system? The
market women and men at these places because of lack of patriotism set their
tables and sell their products near the filth. But at the same time some the
blames must be portioned to the regional metropolitan assemblies because there
are most situations that various dustbins that have been placed in the various
major points get full and even overflows but empting them also becomes a
problem. This is not to say that the various metropolitans and municipals
assemblies are not doing their work, the work is being done but efficiently is
the problem. Most countries have development due to the patriotism of the
citizens. Taking into account the development of Botswana and even a western
country like the USA and so can we!
If sanitation- is the state of being clean and conducive to health , then
talking about sanitation in the country will not only pertain to the regional
capitals but also the rural areas( villages). Water pollution is one major
factor in the rural areas, especially the forest and savanna areas. These areas
mostly engaged in agriculture, the water pollution comes in different forms it
is sometimes the wash of fertilizers from farm into the water bodies or it is
the using of the water bodies with animals that are being reared there. The
health of the inhabitants of these areas is always at danger since they suffer
mostly from water borne diseases. Education of the people at these places is the
best way to solve their sanitation problems. Most rural areas also lack most
facilities like "public toilets" and even rubbish container, therefore they
uses the rubbish dump as their form of "public toilet" This statement can never
be complete without citing rural areas in the northern part of the country and
part of the southern part of the country as examples.
The sanitation problem of the country can be stopped when Ghanaians develop the
love of development for the country, and also education of the people about
sanitation. Both the leaders and the followers of the country should do their
part in keeping Ghana clean. Thanks to Non-Governmental Organizations as well as
philanthropist that are to task of keeping the country clean and also more
Philanthropists and other Non-Governmental Agencies should please join hands
with the others to keep Ghana clean.

AIG Life Insurance
American International Group, Inc. (AIG) is large insurance company that is headquartered in New York. AIG has additional offices abroad in London, Paris, and Hong Kong. Until 2008, AIG was one of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States and abroad.
Since September 2008, AIG has been featured extensively in the media. After almost 100 years of operation, AIG began to fail due to an inability to meet financial obligations to creditors. The company's failure began with its lowered credit rating that resulted in a liquidity crisis. Lenders perceived AIG as a risky business, and the company could not recover through loans and additional lines of credit.
In September of 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank offered AIG a bailout of $85 billion. The government received an equity stake with AIG in return. In simple terms, taxpayer dollars are currently helping AIG maintain its daily operations as the company continues to stabilize. Since the bailout, AIG has been subject to extensive media and public scrutiny. AIG employees even started receiving hate mail and death threats.
Since the bailout, AIG has continued to offer life insurance services. Even now, the business has been unstable: the company has gone through several CEOs, is selling its subsidiaries, and is experiencing net losses. In any case, AIG's life insurance products and services remain steady.
AIG provides flexible options for individuals and insurance brokers with services that include a comprehensive product portfolio, marketing management tools, and constant product development for a variety of plans that include Term Life Insurance, Universal Life Insurance, Variable Life Insurance, and Whole Life Insurance. Policy holders select plans that match their financial objectives. For example, people might wish to invest their death benefits, or they may wish to designate beneficiary who receives a certain amount of cash. AIG's insurance plans may be used to cover funeral expenses. Even though AIG's business is undergoing a major overhaul, its available services remain steady and reliable.
How It Works
You can think of life insurance as a contract between an insurer and a beneficiary. When the policyholder dies, the insurance company will pay the beneficiary. The policyholder can purchase or receive life insurance in a number of ways. Some companies provide options for subsidized life insurance as a benefit to employees. People might also want to purchase life insurance policies to ensure that a family remains secure and stable. You can pay for life insurance on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.
AIG was able to offer a wide variety of life insurance options after acquiring American General Life Companies in 2001. At the time of acquisition, American General Life Companies had operated for over 75 years. This merger positioned AIG with the ability to offer life insurance services to corporations, associations, and individuals.
AIG provides specializes in five types of services for life insurance:
- AIG provides life insurance packages for institutions looking to buy plans for many members or employees
- Universal Life insurance allows policyholders to change premiums and coverage amounts as life situations change. The policyholder is always covered no matter how the life insurance plan adjusts. American General will issue benefits as long as the policyholder pays the minimum premium amounts.
- Unlike Universal Life insurance, Whole Life insurance remains the same throughout a person's life. You can plan for the amount that your beneficiaries will receive in the event of your death.
- Term Life insurance is in place for a certain amount of time. You can select packages that keep you covered for 10 to 25 years. With Term Life insurance, you can customize your package to buy only the insurance that you need. You can avoid paying additional premiums for life insurance packages that you do not need.
- Variable Universal Life insurance allows you to allocate your death benefit. You can choose to receive cash, or you can choose an investment package. You can also select a combination of both.
Costs vary substantially based on individual needs and preferences. If you'd like to be insured for a greater amount, you will need to pay more. In general a $1 million policy will be more expensive than a policy for twenty thousand. If you are a company seeking to provide life insurance to employees, you can typically negotiate your rates. Your rates may vary by your company size and number of employees. If you are an individual, it is cheaper to receive subsidized life insurance by your company. Company subsidized policies can be free or of very low cost to you. If you are interested in purchasing life insurance through AIG, you should work with an agent or broker to review your options.
You can purchase a life insurance policy at any time. The best time is when people are dependent on you for money. If you are supporting a family or if you have debt with cosigners, you'll likely want to be prepared. Even if you are young, you should be responsible and assess potential financial impacts of your death. After an emergency, you do not want to leave your family or dependents suffering from additional financial burdens. Even though AIG is undergoing a major corporate overhaul, its available services are steady and reliable. If you are thinking of purchasing a plan through AIG, the best time to start your research is now.
AIG provides life insurance services through American General Life Companies. You can also learn more from AIG's corporate website.

DIY Wood Canvas Frame: In 20 minutes
After our wedding our photographer Abbots Lane Photography gifted us a beautiful canvas and when we brought it home I knew I wanted to make it fit right into our home. I always thought canvases were more of a modern look so adding a wood frame was my immediate go to which would give our canvas a rustic, warm and textured feel --which would be perfect of our home. Hubby and I went to Home Depot, picked up a few small things and our canvas was framed in less than 20 minutes! Follow along to learn how.
Disclaimer: Affiliate Links may be used throughout this post.
Supply List
- +Canvas photo of your choice
- +Wood Strips of your choice (You can find varies sizes but THIS is the one we recommend)
- +Sand Paper (120 grit should be good)
- +Disposable Foam Sponge
- +Stain of your choice (We used Early American by MinWax)
- +Nails & Hammer OR Nail Gun (way easier/faster)
1. Measure your canvas and cut your wood strips (or have them cut at Home Depot). If you have a hand saw at home you're better off doing this at home to get your measurements just right!
----> Cut the strips that will be on the longer side of the canvas exactly the length of the canvas and cut the other two sides longer than the canvas to match up with the addition of the strips you previously cut. (PICTURED ABOVE -- notice one side hangs over as the other does not, they should match up when you put them together)
2. Sand and Stain once your strips are measured and cut.
3. Connect 3 of the strips with a nail gun. (Separately from the canvas, this way you will avoid putting too many holes in the canvas. The idea is to make a tight frame around the canvas so you can take it on and off if you ever want to change it up. If you decide you want it this way forever, just nail it straight to the canvas, but you risk ruining the photo).
4. Place the 75% put together frame around the canvas and tightly hold and nail the last piece around the canvas. (OPTIONAL: Add 1-2 nails to 1-22 sides of the canvas for better securement, we did do this).
5. Hang your new masterpiece!
I really hope you take a go at this because it is SO quick and easy and most importantly, it adds so much personality to a simple space. Tag me in your photos if you try it out!
Thanks to my awesome hubby for demonstrating and modeling for me ;)

If you have previously received hair transplants or are considering undergoing hair transplantation surgery to restore your thinning hair, you likely have plenty of questions. There are a lot of myths surrounding balding and genetic hair loss with frustratingly few answers and plenty of deceptive products on the market.
At Carolina Hair Center, Dr. Cooley has made it his mission to help those facing male and female pattern baldness restore their hair and increase their self-confidence. Hair transplants are a treatment option that requires plenty of patience but produces lifelong results.
How Do Hair Transplants Work?
During hair transplantation surgery, healthy follicular units are harvested from donor sites along the sides and back of the scalp and then transplanted to balding and thinning areas. For men, follicular units located on the sides and back of the scalp are immune to the effects of male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. These balding-resistant follicles can be harvested and grafted to areas on the top and front of the scalp, where aging and genetics have stripped the scalp of its hair.
Women can also undergo hair transplantation surgery, although they do not benefit from alopecia-immune donor sites like men. Women do not typically have to worry about going completely bald, but the follicular units on the sides and back of their scalps will thin along with the tops of their heads. For women facing a widening part or a thinning hairline, hair transplantation surgery can be completed in much the same way, although fewer women than men are good candidates for hair transplants.
Results Following Hair Transplantation Surgery
While the healthy follicular units settle into their new locations, they will not immediately begin producing hair. In fact, the newly transplanted follicles will actually shed their hair two to three weeks after surgery and enter a resting period for around two or three months. Once the scalp has healed and the hair follicles leave their resting phase, true results begin to develop.
Patients can expect to see noticeable results around six months after their surgery. New hair will continue to come in for 12 to 18 months, at which point final results will be visible and patients can enjoy their new, thicker hair.
How Long Do Hair Transplants Last?
Once hair transplants have completely healed and begun to produce thick and healthy hair, the results will endure for many years to come. Because the grafts are taken from parts of the scalp that are immune to balding, they will not be affected by any future hair loss. However, preexisting hair surrounding the grafts will still be affected by genetic hair loss.
In order to best maintain your results, plan on supplementing your hair transplants with hair loss medication and treatments to keep the hair you still have. Hair transplants can restore hair to balding areas of the scalp, but it does nothing to prevent more hair from falling out in the future.
If you are interested in hair transplants or have questions regarding your upcoming appointment, call Carolina Hair Center today at 704-729-7337 to learn more.
