What is menopause?
Menopause is the time in your life when you naturally stop having menstrual periods. Menopause happens when the ovaries stop making estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone that helps control the menstrual cycle. Menopause marks the end of the reproductive years. The average age that women go through menopause is 51 years.
FAQ198, November 2018
How does breast cancer treatment affect younger women?
Women younger than age 45 years can face several health challenges after treatment for breast cancer, including the possibility of early menopause, sexual problems, and fertility problems.
FAQ193, June 2016
How common is heavy menstrual bleeding?
Heavy menstrual bleeding is very common. About one third of women seek treatment for it. Heavy menstrual bleeding is not normal. It can disrupt your life and may be a sign of a more serious health problem. If you are worried that your menstrual bleeding is too heavy, tell your obstetrician–gynecologist (ob-gyn).
PFS003, April 2015
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when she naturally stops having menstrual periods. Menopause marks the end of the reproductive years. The average age of menopause for women in the United States is 51 years.
Most women enter a transitional phase in the years leading up to menopause called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a time of gradual change in the levels of estrogen, a hormone that helps control the menstrual cycle. Changing estrogen levels can bring on symptoms such as hot flashes and sleep changes. To manage these symptoms, some women may choose to take hormone therapy.

ROCHESTER, Minn., Dec. 27 (UPI) -- A history of concussion involving at least a momentary loss of consciousness may be linked to Alzheimer's-associated plaques in the brain, U.S. researchers say.
The study, published in the journal Neurology, found people with memory and thinking impairments and a history of head trauma had levels of amyloid plaques an average of 18 percent higher than those with no head trauma history.
Study author Michelle Mielke of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., said the study involved people from Olmsted County in Minnesota, who were given brain scans, including 448 people without any signs of memory problems and 141 people with memory and thinking problems called mild cognitive impairment.
Participants, who were all age 70 or older, were asked about whether they had ever experienced a brain injury that involved any loss of consciousness or memory.
Of the 448 people without any thinking or memory problems, 17 percent reported a brain injury, while 18 percent of the 141 with memory and thinking difficulties reported a concussion or head trauma, the study said.
The study found no difference in any brain scan measures among those without memory and thinking impairments, whether or not they had head trauma, but those with cognition and memory problems had higher levels of amyloid plaques.
"Our results add merit to the idea that concussion and Alzheimer's disease brain pathology may be related," Mielke said in a statement. "However, the fact that we did not find a relationship in those without memory and thinking problems suggests that any association between head trauma and amyloid is complex."

Recently and its not the only game or the only person this has happened with but there are players who show up to a game and just play games on their phone or notebook all game. I do mean ALL game not just checking email or messages real quick.
I'm in two different games with two different GMs and different players and each one has a warm body only player. Warm bodies just take up space and take time away from the game. The GM will try all kinds of methods to engage
Hello Everyone,
I have only played DnD five times in my life.....so I need some advice on a character build. I decided on the Eladrin race. I want my PC to have some Face abilities (for those familiar with Shadowrun), negotiating, manipulation, leadership and that sort of thing but not be sloppy in combat. We're allowed to start at 5th level.
When it comes to combat, I tend to attack/defend using inventive methods as opposed to straight up blasts. Yes - I'm a woman
To all GMS and Players out there (and please put your perspective), do you give (get) bonuses for doing a thorough reconnaissance and adequate planning and practice (Think Oceans 11, their practice run ) If so, what do you do? Lower the difficulty? Amount of hits needed?
Having said that, I do mean recon and planning like the true military do. As a player, Ive taken several GMs by surprise by trying to play it by using recon and strategy which I dont get because I really enjoy
To preface this, I am someone whos successfully been in sales, customer service, maintained vendor relations and had negotiation training. It might be safe to say I know something about convincing folks to do things.
Training and experience aside, theres a saying you get more flies with honey than vinegar, which Im sure everyone has heard. Most of the time the honey saying works but about 5 percent of the time, one has to be a bit stern. Secondly, common sense
Many studies have been done that prove if you dont exercise your mind, your intelligence will go down and the opposite holds true as well. Of the different aspects of brain power, my weakness was creativity according to all the tests. Conversely, analytics and especially arithmetic were my strongest and I excelled to high levels in them. Once I started gaming, I found my creativity increased.
A year later, I started writing fan fiction as a result of that creativity. Almost

See Airfree's effectiveness at work
This laboratory-conducted test shows how Airfree acts to prevent mould.
How does it work?
Airfree's exclusive technology works by eliminating microorganisms and allergens, destroying them in a fraction of a second. Depending on the model, between 14,000 and 20,000 litres of air pass through the Airfree device every hour, treating all the air in the room in a very short space of time.
The process works in much the same way as sterilising water by boiling it; when water is boiled, the microorganisms it contains are eliminated. In similar fashion, Airfree continually draws in air from the room, heating it to over 200 ºC and instantly sterilising it. The purified air is then cooled inside the device before being returned to the room.
The entire process is completely silent and requires no maintenance, not even the occasional replacement of parts. All you have to do is switch the device on and leave it to get on with the job.

- Faq's
1. How does Airfree work?
Airfree destroys microorganisms at its heated capillaries. Contaminated air is dragged into Airfree's ceramic core by air convection and microorganisms are destroyed at high temperatures regardless of how resistant and dangerous they might be.
2. Are there any side effects?
No. Airfree's new technology uses heat to purify the air. No side effects, no emissions, NO IONS, nor new particles are generated. Airfree® should be used in all homes and offices, quietly, constantly, and efficiently purifying the air.
3. My Airfree does not stop blinking. What does that mean?(*)
Cause 1: Airfree incorporates an automatic energy-saving feature by automatically shutting off the ceramic core when it has reached a temperature range to facilitate air convection (air in the room is drawn into the machine to destroy impurities, contaminants and odours). The ceramic core shuts down for a few minutes, the indicator light turns off, and the top lights emitting diode (L.E.D.) blinks. Airfree continues to sterilize the air during this time. This indicates the conservation of electric power consumption and the preservation of the ceramic core.
Cause 2: Another contributory factor to Airfree's blinking occurrence is the ambient air (air in the environment). When the ambient air reaches 35 ºC, Airfree® auto-regulates itself with the ceramic core "shut off" for a few minutes but still continues with its sterilizing activity (the blinking of the top lights and the fade away of the side LED on models P40/P60/ P80/ P125/ P150 and just the fade away of the side LED on model E40/ E60/ E80/ E125, signals this occurrence). In this process energy is conserved and Airfree's safety mechanism is enhanced.
Cause 3: Airfree incorporates state of the art electronics detecting any improper placement or device malfunctioning. If the top lights does not stop blinking, please ensure that your Airfree® unit is in the upright position. If the top and bottom air inlets are free of blockage, the blinking may be due to a faulty electrical outlet. Please plug it in into a proper outlet. If in the next 10 minutes the top lights continues blin-king and your Airfree® unit is correctly installed, this indicates that the device may be malfunctioning. Please promptly contact your dealer in such case.
(*) The Airfree E40/E60/E80/E125 does not incorporate the Anti-stress lights.
4. Is there any risk when the top light of Airfree is blinking?(*)
No. When Airfree electronics detect any irregularity it automatically shuts off the TSS™ ceramic core.
(*) The Airfree E40/E60/E80/E125 does not incorporate the Anti-stress lights.
5. What is Airfree's air cleaning capacity?
Airfree P1000 was designed for rooms up to 450 sq. ft. (42m²), Airfree P2000 Platinum was designed for rooms up to 550 sq. ft. (51m²). Airfree P3000 Onix was designed for rooms up to 650 sq. ft. (61m²).
6. Can I install Airfree in my walking closet ?
Yes, as long as it has at least 330cu.ft. (10m³)*. Airfree® should not be placed under shelves or its efficiency will be reduced.
* as reference 330cu.ft. (10m³) is approximately 7'x7'.
7. Can I use Airfree in air conditioned rooms?
8. How do I know if Airfree is no longer working?
Check the top lid, if warm Airfree is working.
9. Can I place Airfree at the corridor to reach the whole house?
No. Airfree will just reduce air pollution in the corridor's area.
10. Can I place Airfree in a closed room?
Yes. Please remember such a room must have at least 330cu.ft. (10m³)*.
* as a reference 330cu.ft. is approximately 7'x7'.
11. Does Airfree eliminate bacteria and viruses?
Yes. Unlike the air filters in the market Airfree® is more efficient with the smallest microorganisms as they are easily carried by Airfree's airflow into its heated ceramic core.
12. Can I change Airfree from one room to another?
Airfree must always be plugged in the same room 24 hours a day. Airfree's patented technology works gradually and cannot have its cycle interrupted. Moving it from one room to another will interrupt the cycle and will recontaminate the room. See question 13 bellow.
13. Should I turn off Airfree when I leave house?
No. Airfree must always be on.
14. What happens if Airfree is disconnected or there was a black out?
Airfree will take approximately the same time to recover the previous reduced contamination level.
15. Does CADR measure the effectiveness of the Airfree?
Not at all. CADR is not designed to test the Airfree technology.
The AHAM seal (usually found on the back of an air cleaner's box) lists three Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers: one for tobacco smoke, one for pollen and one for dust. The CADR indicates volume of filtered air delivered by an air cleaner. The higher the tobacco smoke, pollen and dust numbers, the faster the unit filters the air. The main reason why CADR is not designed for Airfree is because Aifree does not filter but destroys microorganisms instead, CADR only applies to volume of filtered air delivered by an air cleaner as stated above. CADR does not measure microorganism reduction like mould and bacteria only detectable by a microbiology lab. Airfree destroys (not trap or attract to other surface) any microorganism regardless of how small they might be. 99,99% of all organic particles are fully destroyed when passing through the Airfree U.S. patented ceramic core.
16. How does Airfree destroy dust mites?
Mould reduction in the environment causes reduction in the mould dependant dust mite population. Airfree also destroys the harmful toxins and fungus freed by dust mite feces that trigger respiratory allergies.
17. How does Airfree eliminate fungi?
As mentioned before, Airfree eliminates airborne microorganisms included fungi and spores. By eliminating spores new colonies are unlikely to develop, representing less future airborne spores.
18. How does Airfree® destroy viruses?
Those microscopic microorganisms are easily eliminated inside Airfree's ceramic core capillaries. The temperature inside of Aifree's capillaries is much higher than required to incinerate them. Airfree® is your greatest ally in respiratory disease prevention.
19. Does Airfree reduce tobacco smell?
Yes, Airfree reduces any kind of organic smell in the ambience including tobacco.
20. Does Airfree release any gas or chemical product?
No. Airfree's sterilisation process is natural. Please check our website for conclusive tests regarding particles and ozone.
21. Does Airfree heat up a room?
No. Airfree does not noticeable increase room temperature. To have an idea 2 Airfrees plugged in the same room will contribute as much heat as the presence of one adult in that same room.
22. Does Airfree provoke any change in room's the relative humidity?
23. Does Airfree need filter replacement?
24. Does Airfree consume a lot of energy?
No. Airfree's consumption is just 45 Watts for P1000, 48 Watts for P2000 and 52 Watts for P3000 Onix.
25. Does Airfree anti-stress light interfere with Airfree sterilising function?(*)
No. The anti-stress light has an esthetic effect may be relaxing or simply used as a night light in children or newborn bedrooms. According to chromo therapy the blue light has calming and relaxing effect.
(*) The Airfree E range does not incorporate the Anti-stress lights.
26. Where do the microorganisms go after they are destroyed?
As all living organisms, microorganisms and their products are basically composed by carbon, oxigen and nitrogen. Since Airfree reachs nearly 414F, all the components are supposed to suffer a combustion process, which liberates carbone dioxide (the same product released by our respiration) and water. Some carbon (or ashes) may remain in the process. If there is some residual allergen left, we might consider that they suffer denaturation, a process involving lost of conformation and function. It should be noted that we are talking about reactions that occur in a microscopic level, so all these processes or by-products won't be perceived. In this case, there is no need to worry about maintenance.
27. How does Airfree clean the air without a fan?
Airfree's patented Technology TSS™ (Thermodynamic Sterilizing System) generates airflow quietly through air convection and sterilizes air at high temperatures. The airflow generated by Airfree happens by air convection and equals 14 m³/hr according to the SP Swedish National Laboratory test shown on our website. Cooler and contaminated air is then continuously drawn into Airfree®. There is no need for a noisy fan. Airfree®'s exclusive TSS™ technology has been proven to be effective by some of the world's most prestigious independent laboratories in six different countries in real working conditions. You can find the test results on our website www.airfree.com in the section TESTS.
28. Does Airfree reduce the necessity of dusting surfaces?
A The operation of an Airfree unit does not eliminate the usual dusting frequencies. Airfree is not an air filter that "traps" dust. It incinerates dust particles turning them into harmless components.
29. Can a particle counter measure the Airfree efficiency?
Several air purifiers are using particle counters in order to measure their filters' efficiency.
Airfree does not filter nor trap particles. The patented Airfree TSS technology is not a filter. Therefore, the particle counter is not designed to measure the efficiency of Airfree's technology.
Why is that?
Firstly, particle counters are used to count the quantity of particles at the outlet of an air purifier. As mentioned before, Airfree is not a filter and does not trap particles; therefore, the quantity of particles entering and exiting the unit will be pretty much the same. However - and here goes the explanation as to why the Airfree technology is efficient and the particle counter does not recognize it:
Secondly, the particle counter will not tell you if the particles are alive or not - harmful or not.
What are particles?
Particles are any air contaminants floating in your room, such as: dust mite feces and skeletons, hair, dead skin, pollens, bacteria (dead or alive), viruses (dead or alive), fabrics remains, mold spores (dead or alive), pet dander, car emissions and many others.
The Airfree TSS technology destroys microorganisms by combustion (application of high temperatures of around 400ºF) and hereby turns micro-organic contaminants into denatured particles. When organic particles are combusted, their proteins are denatured, i.e. the particles lose their original structure and are made harmless. These harmless particles are released back into the environment after the combustion process and are therefore still detected by the particle counter. However, as mentioned before, the counter will not tell if the particles are harmful or not, dead or alive.
How do we know if invisible particles floating in the room are harmless/destroyed?
Rather than presenting customers with CADR or CFM ratings, we at Airfree go straight to the point and prove to our customers what they really expect from an air purifier – real benefits – Airfree aims at goals and not at the means. The goal is to see a mold and bacteria reduction in the room and that is what our patented Airfree TSS technology proves (http://www.airfree.com/testes/testeshome_usa.htm).
Considering the before said, the Airfree TSS technology offers several advantages such as:
* Maintenance free operation
* Environmental protection – no replacement
* No need to touch or change contaminated parts
The claims Airfree makes on mold and bacteria reduction are backed by independent tests performed in real working environments.
We at Airfree go straight to the point and inform our customers of what the proven mold and bacteria reduction of our patented TSS (Thermodynamic Sterilization System) technology is – 85 – 95% (please see our tests at …). Airfree destroys all airborne microorganisms, no matter what size.
Our final question to the customer: Do you prefer to purchase an air purifier which claims a high CADR or CFM rating or one that offers the real benefits: mold, bacteria and ozone reduction in real working conditions? We at Airfree show real facts. The decision is up to you. We will be glad to clarify any remaining doubts.
30. Why does a dust mite allergic (as myself) get better with Airfree?
Basically, dust mite allergens, of which DERP1 is most famous one (skeletons, excrements), are lighter than dust mites.
If they are lighter, they become airborne dust. Once they are airborne, they are destroyed by the Airfree heat as Cambrige test illustrate.
Another theory is that some dust mite species like D. farinae need yeast to help their digestion (1). As you may know Airfree reduces yeast and mold (source: ÁCAROS CONTAMINANTES DE AMBIENTES E CAUSADORES DE DOENÇAS ALÉRGICAS NO HOMEM, CROCE, J. - Professor de Pós Graduação em Alergia na Faculdade de Medicina da USP..BAGGIO, D. - Foi professor do Departamento de Parasitologia do Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas.)
D pteronyssinus dust mites eat no fat, only human skin. If fat is found on the skin they need Aspergillus mold to help digestion (1). ( source: ÁCAROS CONTAMINANTES DE AMBIENTES E CAUSADORES DE DOENÇAS ALÉRGICAS NO HOMEM, CROCE, J. - Professor de Pós Graduação em Alergia na Faculdade de Medicina da USP.. BAGGIO, D. - Foi professor do Departamento de Parasitologia do Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas.)
With Airfree, there is less mold available in the environment, therefore dust mites might starve. This is only a theory, very difficult to prove since tests would not separate living dust mite from the dead ones.
31. What is the amount of air that is moved per minute by the Airfree P3000? Will it exchange the air in a 344.4 sq. ft. room once a day? Once an hour?
Please note that it takes around 5 hours for Airfree to silently circulate the air in a room of 344,4 sq. ft. at a ceiling height of 8 feet. Therefore, there will be around 4 to 5 air exchanges per 24 hours.
However, what is of real importance to us at Airfree is how much less mold spores and bacteria will be in the room itself, which will allow our customers to feel better.
We therefore performed more than 20 tests with independent laboratories in real working conditions, which prove an average microorganism reduction of 85 to 97% in the room itself.

Life Science: Session 1
What Is Life?
Learning Goals
During this session, you will have an opportunity to build understandings to help you:
- Distinguish between living, dead, and nonliving
- Define the characteristics of life
Video Overview
What is life? This question at first seems deceptively simple—we all know how to recognize what is living and what is not. Or do we? What are the characteristics of all living things, and how do we know if an object really possesses those characteristics? This session explores how the concept "life" can be defined.
Video Outline
We open with a look at environments where you wouldn't expect to find life and pose this question: "If you are looking for life, what do you look for?" Dr. Herbert Thier, representing the Science Curriculum Improvement Study (SCIS 3+), emphasizes the importance of building understandings of the concept "life" in the early elementary grades as a foundation for the development of ideas in life science throughout the elementary school years and beyond.
The program continues as children in grades two and three are presented with a challenge: group objects as living, dead, or nonliving. In what is called the "Science Studio," the children are observed and interviewed in a clinical setting to uncover their ideas about these three concepts. Throughout the course, the Science Studio is a place where research on children's ideas is brought to life.
In Brooklyn, New York, we visit LauraJo Kelly and her second-grade students as they generate their own definitions of living, dead, and nonliving and proceed to design experiments to test whether a "mysterious" object is alive. An interview with Dr. Gary Ruvkun, who is leading a team of researchers to determine whether life exists on Mars, tells us what he considers to be the best sign of life.
Our search for an answer to the question "What is life?" leads us to consider five characteristics that are shared by all living things. One characteristic—cells —introduces us to the fundamental unit of life. We also look more closely at the matter that composes life and see the role played by organic molecules, such as the hereditary molecule DNA.
Finally, Dr. Paul Williams introduces us to an ongoing Web site-based activity—Bottle Biology—that is meant to provide you with an opportunity to apply ideas addressed during this session as well as act as a resource for K-6 classroom activities.

While watching a television newscast with my husband in our home one night recently, I heard the phrase "the cost of freedom" used four times in the one piece. That repetition started a train of thought in my mind that I have been dealing with off and on since hearing the writer of the script's interruption. What do we mean when we say "the cost of freedom?"
In today's society, that phrase usually refers to the actual accumulated amounts of money being spent to defend our country or to aid other countries in the defense of their land. It sometimes means giving money to countries that will help in keeping them from attacking America at some distant date or in rebuilding from a terrible war or natural disaster. Many items can be slipped quietly into this category and only upon careful scrutiny do we find the different headings and how and why they were listed as "the cost of freedom."
Another association that comes to mind especially around the Memorial Day weekend is the price our good men and women pay to put on and wear the uniform of our country.
They leave home and family, train for months, live different lives than what they are accustomed to living, and then leave to serve in a foreign land, often without much thanks. Even those that love them best get busy; they go on with their lives, and they somehow, even with the great depth of love, go on to work, play, and family activities. Only a few are truly grieved over, missed desperately, and written or called enough, in my opinion. Some, when returning home, find that everything that they knew has changed and many marriages end in divorce, bitter custody battles and unsettling results due to the service of our country.
Personally for my family, we have all my life been considered extremely patriotic. We have reason to be and I dare say that this defense of home and country will never change in our lives. We love the red, white and blue, and fly the colors from our homes. We attend military concerts, sing loudly, applaud generously and donate when we can. We try to write, visit and e-mail service men and women and be of help to the families left behind on America's shores while thousands of miles separate loved ones.
My dad and mom met in elementary school in Georgia and dated in high school. Neither had any plans except to wed the other, get jobs, settled down into homemaking and child rearing and live happy, productive lives among family and friends of a lifetime. War changed all that. My dad joined the US Army and went through a quickened basic training and was soon shipped overseas to help fight the enemy. My mother, who had no life skills or training at the time to land a good job, moved back home to her mother and father's farmhouse in rural DeKalb County, Ga., as was the custom for most young war brides.
I was born on the couple's third wedding anniversary on my Mama Cole's kitchen table. My mom sent a letter off to my dad to let him know he had a daughter that all said looked just like him, but it would be months before my mom knew if he ever received that missive or not.
When I was six months old, a yellow taxi pulled up in front of the farmhouse to deliver a yellow telegram, which I had until Hurricane Ike hit the Bolivar Peninsula in 2008. It was a simple message: "We regret to inform you that PFC Robert Henry Cannon was killed in action on New Georgia Island on July 2, 1943. Additional information will follow."
My mother's life, my life, and the lives of those in my dad's family were changed irrevocably that dark night. Nothing was ever the same for the young woman who was a wife, mother, and widow before she was 21 years of age.
Let's love and honor our service men and women on Memorial Day and all year long ... and please don't forget the family members who pay the price, too.
Each time I sign or type my name, I remember the true cost of freedom that my father helped to pay, and I realize that I am only one of thousands who know it all too well.

Credit by assessment is often a departmental challenge assessment (cognate or performance) that allows high school students to demonstrate prior learning relevant to a particular body of knowledge. The demonstration of proficiency of knowledge of the learning outcomes for a particular college-level course is validated by the college faculty, and upon enrollment of the student into the particular college, the student is awarded "transfer" credit by the college faculty. All academic credit by examination requests must be made to the division dean and approved by the Vice president for Academic Affairs. To be eligible for consideration for credit by examination, a student must register for the particular course and attend the first day of class. All examination requirements must be completed as designated by the division.
The high school career technical instructors and Walters State Community College instructors review course materials to determine duplicative course outcomes and then develop articulation agreements and policies which can result in opportunities for high school students to receive college credit. These agreements allow 11th and 12th grade high school students to take a college level assessment for free credit or, in some instances, students can earn free credit for nationally recognized certificates.
The Dual Credit Program is funded under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006.

Hello Here comes again back with a new post,
It is really a long time since I last wrote here !!!
I am here today because I want to point a site really very nice.
My high school final examination, I did this year, I made about online shopping: I love to shop online because as I wrote on the term paper, it is practical because it does not have to leave home and go around for shops, it is convenient because you can shop from the comfort of sitting on the couch, and convenient because let's face it really saves a lot of buying online!
That is why today I want to recommend a site that puts into practice all the points that I mentioned to you before. I'm talking about StyleWe
I'm always looking for affordable sites StyleWe it is.
There you can always find clothes, bags and accessories in step with fashion
There is also an area dedicated to discounts
But my favorite section of the moment are the wallets * - * There are so many types and all costs depending on how much money you want to spend
You can pay with PayPal which of course must be connected to a credit card.
Orders arrive after about 15 days, so I would say that it is very convenient and also very fast compared to other sites.
What else to say? Visit one of Stylewe and then maybe let me know how you are!
bye, see you soon

|Postcolonial Studies in English
|Three semester hours.
This course is an introduction to postcolonial literature and theory. Emphasis is on readings produced in the historical, political, and cultural contexts of European colonialism in Africa, India, and the Caribbean. Secondary readings include a range of theoretical writings about postcolonialism as a condition, an interpretive approach, and a field of study. Topics may include nationalism and imperialism; issues of race and gender; migration and diaspora; exile, assimilation, and hybridity; globalization and neocolonialism; strategies of anti-colonial resistance; intersections between postcolonialism and postmodernism; and the politics of language. The course will also interrogate the usefulness of understanding literature in transnational or global terms and consider "postcolonial studies" itself as contested terrain. Maybe repeated when topic changes. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.

The IUCN World Conservation Union is the world's largest nature conservation organisation. Its mission is to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable.
IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands (IUCN NL) has been actively involved in the first two phases of the Guiana Shield Initiative (GSI), which preceded the GSF. The GSI project was initially conceived at the Amazonia- Europe Roundtable, organized by the European Working Group on Amazonia, held in the European Parliament in November 1993. The idea of managing the Guiana Shield eco-region as such was put forward at this meeting. The IUCN NL served as the seat of the GSI up to 2006.
The GSI Phase I proposal was submitted by the NC-IUCN (now IUCN NL) and a contract signed by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 30 November, 2000. GSI Phase I (2000-2004) focused on: identification of priorities; exploration of possible financial mechanisms; information, education, research into markets; and outlining a monitoring system. In 2007 during GSI Phase II (2006-2010), the UNDP contracted IUCN NL to act as the Guiana Shield Secretariat, to assist setting up the Pilot Projects and to deliver technical and advisory services to the management of the Project. As an integral part of the GSI Project Management Unit, the IUCN NL also provided input on planning and managing the project. The IUCN NL also contributed as a donor in the GSI Phase II project. Through its Small Grants Programme, projects of local organizations within the Guiana Shield Eco-Region that link ecosystem conservation and poverty issues were sponsored. Phase II focused on piloting payment for ecosystem services and developing the administrative, financial and policy framework for the conservation and sustainable development of the Guiana Shield ecoregion.
For the ongoing GSF project (2010-2014), the IUCN NL IUCN NL remains the (founder and) owner of the GSI website, its address and domain name www.guianashield.org, whereby IUCN NL is recognized by UNDP Guyana and the GSF to be the founder and owner of the GSI. IUCN NL has provided the GSF ownership over a dedicated part of the GSI website, specifically reserved for the GSF, sharing the domain name of www.guianashield.org with the GSI website.

Best vehicle in it's class by far
By Dave on Tuesday, April 16, 2019I traded my Lexus 350ES for a 2019 ForteEX. I had wanted a Lexus IS model but after driving the Forte, there was no doubt in my mind that this was the vehicle that fit all of my needs. I read some of the complaints that the Forte was not very powerful or sporty. Yet I think it does handle like a sports car. There are 3 driving modes available but just using the "normal" mode offers an exciting driving feel. The handling around curves is outstanding. On the highway you get a quiet smooth ride. All of the high tech features really work well. I tried the Honda Insight, Lexus, Civic, Toyota, Hyundai, and Subaru products and the Kia Forte seemed superior driving in traffic and on the highway. The seats are very comfortable and ventilated which is great if you live in Arizona. Also, my dog enjoys the rear vents that keep him cool. Also, one flaw in Honda products ( lack of front seat leg room) is not an issue with the Forte. The leg room is outstanding. I feel that I have hit the jackpot with the Forte. And the price is incredibly low for the overall quality this vehicle offers. This is just my opinion but hope this review helps others at least test drive this vehicle before buying.

Excellent Commuter
By 1911 on Wednesday, November 06, 2019I have the FE model with the 6 speed manual transmission and average 43.5mpg, that is just over 600 miles per tank! Large trunk, back seat and overall passenger area make this an excellent road trip vehicle. This small car isn't small. Info / tech is excellent. I purchased it brand new (0 miles) for only $13,500 out the door + TTL. Amazing car, amazing value. Good job Kia.

Pretty great!
By Jilly on Wednesday, October 30, 2019This is the second forte I've owned, because I loved the first one so much. This car has tons of safety features I didn't imagine would exist so soon, like collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, and blind spot collision warning. It also sends me a notification when it senses I am drowsy and should take a break. Also it has many comfort features like heated, and cooled seats. The trunk provides tons of storage space as well as the back seat wich is surprisingly roomy.

Palm oil is used by Cameroon people as a basis for their food consumption. They process their own crude oil from palm trees, Cameroon is a big importer of palm oil. According to specialists, the gap between production and consumption is due to a low production rate, low prices in the local market and competition with imported oil.

Follow the Thread: A Mandarin Coat main content.
by AMNH on
In 1901, budding anthropologist Berthold Laufer sent a brilliant blue silk robe he had bought in Shanghai to the American Museum of Natural History.
Within a few years, fakes would flood the market, says Curator Laurel Kendall, chair of the Division of Anthropology, but the time and place of this purchase indicates that it is "the real thing," a coat that could only have been worn by a scholar-advisor to the Imperial Court during the Qing dynasty, which lasted from 1644 to 1911.
Part of the Museum's extensive collection of textiles, this coat exemplifies the rigidly defined rules of Imperial Court dress in which an elaborate system of colors and motifs telegraphed rank. The dragon, for example, is the ultimate "yang" or male symbol, and a sign of the Emperor's power. The water represented at the bottom of the robe reflects the legendary role of dragons in East Asia's traditional agrarian societies as denizens of lakes, rivers, and seas who once a year ascend to the heavens to bring on the rain. Overall, the decoration suggests a mandarin of the fourth to sixth rank.
Laufer, who would go on to become the premier Sinologist of his generation, was sent to China by Franz Boas, then director of the Museum's Anthropology Division and the acknowledged father of the field in America. Boas had secured a grant of $18,000 (about $400,000 today) from New York banker Jacob H. Schiff to cover Laufer's expenses for three years to gather "collections which illustrate the popular customs and beliefs of the Chinese, their industries, their mode of life." Laufer set about buying the stuff of everyday life, completing what is still the most extensive ethnographic collection from pre-revolutionary China in North America.
"Nobody was doing that kind of work at that time," says Kendall. "He gave us a picture of daily life…And that's us! We're all about the time capsule, the trunk in the attic, trying to imagine how people lived."
A version of this story originally appeared in the Winter 2011 issue of Rotunda, the magazine for Museum Members.

WASHINGTON - The top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Wednesday that Congress should overhaul the 2001 authorization for the use of military force to encompass the use of drones for targeted killings.
Weighing in on an issue of both national security and civil liberties, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said the law passed days after the Sept. 11 terror attacks needs to be revised to deal with emerging threats and ensure greater congressional oversight.
"For far too long, Congress has failed to fully exercise its constitutional responsibility to authorize the use of military force, including in the current struggle against al-Qaida, so I urge the committee to consider updating current anti-terrorism authorities to adapt to threats that did not exist in 2001 and to better protect our nation while upholding our morals and values," Corker said at the start of a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on counterterrorism.
The law gave President George W. Bush the authority to launch the invasion of Afghanistan and target al-Qaida, saying the commander in chief has the authority to attack "nations, organizations or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."
Since then, President Barack Obama has used the law's authority to target terrorists with fatal drone strikes, including Americans overseas.
The issue came to the forefront in recent weeks as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., waged a nearly 13-hour filibuster of John Brennan's nomination for CIA director over the president's authority to use drones in the United States. The Senate eventually confirmed Brennan.
Corker said the Foreign Relations Committee, which has jurisdiction, should put "in place specific policy guidance for how and when the president can use these authorities, including lethal action and the use of drones, in regular consultation with Congress, so we can restore the appropriate balance of power between the legislative and executive branches of government while maintaining flexibility for the president to respond swiftly under threat of attack."
Former Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., now the president of The Wilson Center, told the committee that she never imagined that 12 years after the law that it would be used against disparate enemies.
The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, Dick Durbin of Illinois, on Wednesday also raised questions about the law, which will be the subject of a hearing on drones at a Judiciary panel's hearing next month.
"I don't believe many, if any, of us believed when we voted for that - and I did vote for it - that we were voting for the longest war in the history of the United States and putting a stamp of approval on a war policy against terrorism that, 10 years-plus later, we're still using," Durbin said in a breakfast interview at The Wall Street Journal.
Among the questions, Durbin said, was whether drones could be used as a lethal weapon and against whom. "Is this a wide-open opportunity for any president to use lethal force anywhere against anyone?" he asked.

Osborne EB3-SS – The most stable, most accurate miter – The ShopSmith version
In a continuing effort to add to our ShopSmith review set. We have acquired an add-on for it. As you know the ShopSmith is the multi-use wood working power house. One of the items heavily used is the miter gauge. I very seldom get excited with a tool right out of the box. But this is one came ready to work right way, the Osborne EB3-SS miter gauge for the ShopSmith. Install was simple, one open-end and an allen wrench, the adjustments you can make are plenty to get the accuracy you want.
The Osborne EB3-SS is the triangulation arm, this makes this miter guide so rigid or stable. This is where the accuracy comes from.
With the miter gauge trying to cut large or long items and keeping them from moving while cutting can be a chore to say the least. Not so when using the Osborne EB-3 miter for the Shopsmith. This add-on is amazing in my eyes. The cuts are perfect and dead on. I was amazed at how accurate I cut make each cut. The ease when handling small and large items is so effortless.
The EB-3 is under $150 dollars, while some may think that is expensive the accuracy of the miter, saves time and money in missed cuts. This is a must have addition to your ShopSmith and will enhance both the enjoyment in the use of the tool and the products you produce. We highly recommend this product, visit their website for more details and current pricing at OsborneMfg website.

Stepping out of the Frame - Part 3
A film by Hélène Faucherre This film is above all the result of careful observation and a will to listen to what was happening and the people involved, throughout the ten days of the international Prix de Lausanne 99 dance competition. The main aim of this documentary is to highlight the variety of possible approaches to teaching dance and to show all the little "nothings" that contribute to building up the teacher-pupil relationship. As the film progresses, various personalities emerge, each approaching the many movements and styles in a different manner, and thereby stimulating reflection about the training of professional dancers and about the art of transmitting knowledge and passion. This film is intended both for confirmed dance enthusiasts and for reticent novices who little by little allow themselves to be carried away by the tide of emotion, tension and humour emerging from various scenes of the film. There is a fascinating contrast between the fierce determination and the extreme youthfulness of these would-be professionals.

Harry and Meghan ask for donations instead of wedding gifts and name seven charities to benefit
Prince Harry
Meghan Markle
have named seven charities they have chosen to benefit from financial donations in lieu of wedding gifts.
Many of them are small, little known organisations, including a Bristol-based children's HIV charity with just four part-time employees and a charity for bereaved Armed Forces children.
The only foreign charity chosen is the Myna Mahila Foundation, which supports women in Mumbai's urban slums and which Ms Markle visited last year before writing about the experience for Time magazine.
Kensington Palace said the couple, who will wed on May 19, did not have any formal relationships with the seven charities but wanted to chose those which represent a range of issues they are passionate about.
In asking guests and well-wishers to donate money rather than give them presents, the Prince and Ms Markle follow in the footsteps of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who asked for money to be donated to their own charitable fund, which supported 26 charities of their choice, when they got married, raising more than £1million.
One of the charities chosen by the couple is the Children's HIV Association (CHIVA) which supports more than 1,000 UK children growing up with HIV and their families.
A spokeswoman told the Telegraph: "We only found out a couple of weeks ago that we have been chosen, it's a huge honour and will make a huge difference to us.
"We are a very small charity so it's a massive deal."
She said Prince Harry had been aware of their work since members of their youth committee spoke to him at the International AIDS Conference in Durban in 2016 and that a group had subsequently met him at Kensington Palace.
Another one of the chosen charities is Scotty's Little Soldiers, inspired by the experience of war widow Nikki Scott, which supports children who have lost a parent while serving in the British Armed Forces.
Mrs Scott, who met the Prince at Buckingham Palace last year, said: "I know that the Armed Forces and looking after the children our heroes have left behind is close to his heart."
She said to have been personally chosen by the couple was an "incredible honour" and that she was extremely grateful.
The Myna Mahila Foundation is a charity which empowers women in Mumbai by providing them with a trusted network offering professional and personal support.
It focuses on taboos surrounding menstrual hygiene by providing women access to low cost sanitary pads and information.
Ms Markle wrote in Time magazine: "One hundred and thirteen million adolescent girls between the ages of 12-14 in India alone are at risk of dropping out of school because of the stigma surrounding menstrual health.
"Furthermore, with minimal dialogue about menstrual health hygiene either at school or home due to the taboo nature of the subject, many girls believe their bodies are purging evil spirits, or that they are injured once a month; this is a shame-filled reality they quietly endure."
She added: "Young girls' potential is being squandered because we are too shy to talk about the most natural thing in the world. To that I say: we need to push the conversation, mobilise policy making surrounding menstrual health initiatives, support organizations who foster girls' education from the ground up, and within our own homes, we need to rise above our puritanical bashfulness when it comes to talking about menstruation."
Suhani Jalota, who founded the organisation in 2015, said: "Myna Mahila Foundation is delighted to be a part of this special occasion for Ms Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
"This support will enable us to expand our reach into more urban slums in Mumbai, empowering local women through access to menstrual hygiene products and employment opportunities."
Crisis, the national charity for homeless people, also welcomed being chosen by the couple, who will marry at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
There has been a furore over the treatment of homeless people in Windsor after Tory councillor Simon Dudley called on police to clear rough sleepers from the town before the event.
Jon Sparkes, chief executive of Crisis, said: "We are hugely grateful that Prince Harry and Ms Markle are asking the public to support Crisis as they celebrate their wedding.
"Homelessness is one of the most urgent issues of our time, but at Crisis we know what it takes to end it.
"Donations will help us to support more people to leave homelessness behind through our housing, employment, education and advice services across the country, and to campaign for the changes needed to solve the homelessness crisis once and for all."
The other three charities chosen by the couple are StreetGames, which uses sport to change young people's lives, Surfers Against Sewage, a national marine conservation and campaigning charity currently focused on tackling plastic pollution and The Wilderness Foundation UK, which promotes the benefits and enjoyment of wild nature.

Oct. 13, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On Sunday, Oct. 21, the MIT lightweight men return to competition for the start of their 2007-2008 campaign at the 43rd Head of the Charles Regatta. Its an auspicious start to the season, as the varsity lights compete in the men's lightweight eight against EARC foes and a strong class of international oarsmen.
Starting first is Rowing Canada, the strong Canadian squad recently returned from the '07 World Championships, followed by the New York Athletic Club and then Hollandia RC - the Dutch lightweight entry to this year's Head of the Charles. Look for the Tech lightweights starting in the 22nd position behind 2007 EARC Sprints Champions Dartmouth College (#20) and Trent University (#21), and ahead of Yale University (#23) and Marquette University (#24).
Selection for this years race was finalized over the weekend. Canadian Henley Champion and senior Maria Telleria will take the reins in the coxswain position with Russell Ryan at stroke, followed by Raphael Peterson, Andrzej Wojciesznski, co-captain Bill Garthwaite, Nick Bushak, co-captain Aaron Blankstein, Ryan Flynn, and Ryan Daspit.
The lightweights will also field a freshmen eight in the club eight event on Saturday. This year's entry will include lightweight recruits in their first collegiate race. MIT will start with bow number 66 following WPI Rowing (#64) and Castleconnell BC (#65) and followed by Drummoyne RC (#67) and Rocky Mountain Rowing Club (#68).
Friends and Alumni are welcome to come by Pierce Boathouse over the weekend to cheer the Cardinal and Gray.

Ray's Handbag
Ray took this handbag
with him when he marched
for gay rights.
Ray chose the name
Sister Molesta of
Absolute Corruption,
and dressed up as a nun
when he was campaigning.
Ray Harvey Amer
0 mins 0 secs
Ray Harvey Amer
Ray joined
the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
after his partner died:
"I was just really angry
that he had died,
and that I had not died with him.
I thought the big thing
that we should be fighting
was not AIDS,
but homophobia.
Because it was homophobia
that created the AIDS crisis
in the first place."
"It was like a road to Damascus,
or Brighton to be more honest.
I saw this wonderful image
across the field
during Brighton Pride festival,
it was Sister Latex
of the Immaculate Protection.
It was the appropriation
of a very powerful symbol
of oppression
of gay men and lesbians,
namely the papacy and Anglican nuns.
The idea was
to grab a symbol of oppression
and to use it against them."
"I chose the name
Sister Molesta of Absolute Corruption
because gay men get labelled
as molesters and corrupters.
What I wanted to do
was to turn it around.
Throughout my life
I've been molested by society.
They'd corrupted me into believing
I was sick and mad."
"We've done lots of protests
in Parliament,
the London Rubber Company once
and Westminster Cathedral twice.
And in 1994
we did this wonderful cleansing ritual
of Bromley Council chamber
because they were not spending
any money at all
on HIV services.
We made them look very silly indeed."
Campaigning for Gay Rights
Ray became involved
With the Sisters of
Perpetual Indulgence in 1991.
The Sisters were a gay rights
campaigning group.
Originally set up in the 1980s
In San Francisco.
The Sisters were gay men
who dressed up as nuns
to campaign for gay rights
and reject homophobia.
Ray's partner Mike Harvey
died in 1991 from AIDS.
Ray felt passionately that
homophobia was creating
the AIDS crisis.
It was therefore really important
to react and campaign
against homophobia.

This week:
The box office gets Exorcised and there are quite few Takers for Avatar: Special Edition; What happens when you mix A Clockwork Orange with The Dark Knight: Psychopomp; Angry Birds: The Movie; the surfs up for Sam Worthington as he lets his career Drift; Jim Carrey ppppp picks up a Penguin; Carey Mulligan goes for a Drive with Ryan Gosling and more.
Box Office
It was all change at the box office over the weekend as Takers captured the top spot. The crime thriller which stars a slew of familiar faces like Hayden Christensen, Chris Brown and Matt Dillon grabbed $20.5 million worth of moviegoer's cash in its unexpectedly successful debut.
The Last Exorcism swooped into the number two position over the three days. The Eli Roth produced frightener scared up $20.3 million despite complaints of a terrible ending.
Sly and the family Stallone dropped to three. After two weeks at the top The Expendables brought in another $9.5 million for an $82 million total - $100 million is now in its grasp.
Julia Roberts' Eat Pray Love came in at four after grossing just under $7 million. The total for the film now stands at $60 million. It doesn't have a chance of hitting $100 million, but it shows that Roberts still has some star wattage left.
The Other Guys shot up $6.5 million and upped their total to just under $100 million. Will Ferrell breathes a sigh of relief and audiences want more Michael Keaton. All's fair in love and war.
Vampires do indeed suck and so does (I presume) Vampires Suck. It's a film that I wouldn't be caught (un)dead watching, but someone is as the film only dipped 55% from last weekend's debut. I say only because that's a pretty decent decline for this sort of film. Another $5.5 for this frightening movie gives it a respectable $28 million. Kids, save your money and go see Inception.
Speaking of Inception, it has now brought its total up to over $270 million, after banking another $5 million.
Nanny McPhee Returns grossed another $4.7 million and upped its total to $17 million. This film has already made its money on the international circuit, so its US release is just a formality. You may even expect Nanny McPhee Returns Again... or something.
The Switch just didn't turn on moviegoers. The Jennifer Aniston/ Jason Bateman comedy has only brought in $16.4 million since its launch. It shouldn't get to over $30 million.
Piranha 3D did what any good horror films does – and dropped by over 50% in its second weekend. The horror remake/ reboot/ reimagining or whatever the hell they're calling it chewed up another $4.5 million. With just under $18.5 million in the bank a sequel is on the way. I expect that this will make a killing when it hits DVD in an unrated form.
Jim Cameron's Avatar: Special Edition opened at number eleven after scoring $3.8 million. The re-release of the highest grossing film of all time adds an extra 9 minutes of footage to the 3D epic. The film has now brought in a mind (and eye) blowing $753.5 million in the US alone. This Special Edition debut might be something of a disappointment for Cameron and Fox, however considering that the film is already out on DVD, with a double dip on the way – it's pretty much all gravy at this point.
Movie News
1. Get ready for Psychopomp. "What's that?" I hear you say.
Well, according to The Hollywood Reporter:
Hilary Shor one of the producers behind Children of Men has optioned the script in the hopes of bringing it to the big screen.
Shor says:
"This is the evil twin of the Children of Men future world Alfonso created. A lot of material I'm best known for developing is 'weighty,' for lack of a better word, but this really appealed to me. It's the graphic novel world and something I've been interested in exploring."
Shor(ly) not.
This sounds like one of those films that will go into development and never be made. Then again – what do I know?
Source: THR
2. I don't have an iphone or an iPad, so I haven't played the top-selling app Angry Birds. But it has sold over 6.5 million downloads. In Hollywood that can only mean one thing – movie! The Finnish company behind Angry Birds, Rovio, plans to turn the game into a franchise.
There's really nothing more that I can say about that without destroying the PG environment of Screen Rant. Nothing at all.
Source: Variety
3. Since December (if not before) a week doesn't seem to have gone by that we haven't written about Sam Worthington being attached to one project or another. Guess what?
Yup. Worthington is now attached to a new Australian surfing drama called Drift.
According to Playlist:
"The film will see Worthington — an avid, lifelong surfer — play a photographer and journalist who is instrumental in the evolution of surfing from a pastime into a global industry, as local surf wear manufacturers like Rip Curl and Billabong grow into iconic global brands."
Worthington had this to say about the $11 million film:
"I'm a [Western Australian] boy at heart and to go back there and put something back into my home town is something I am really looking forward to. There's something pure and true about surfing, and there is something pure and true about this script."
The film is due to shoot next year and presumably it means that Worthington will be able to fit in one or two of his other films before then.

4. Disney has picked up a pitch by writers Ahmet Zappa and Michael Wilson titled Monster Witness Relocation Program.
Monsterfoot Productions will produce the film alongside Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment. It's apparently being tooled as a potential starring vehicle for Smith's son Jaden.
Sounds like this might be Smith Jr's Men In Black style franchise.
Source: Deadline
5. Jim Carrey is set to star in an adaptation of Mr. Popper's Penguins.
According to Deadline:
"The movie version takes the book into an upscale direction: a high-powered businessman suddenly inherits six penguins. As he gets acquainted with – and increasingly attached to – his winged roommates, Popper's life quickly unravels: his swanky New York apartment is turned into a snowy winter wonderland, the deal he's long been working on is derailed, and he almost lands in jail. But thanks to his new charges, Popper comes to understand the importance of family – human and otherwise".
In the past Jack Black , Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller have flirted with the project which is being directed by Mark Waters, the man who brought us Mean Girls and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
Word on the street is that 20th Century Fox got Carrey on the "cheap". I thought that penguins made more of a squawking sound.
Source: Deadline
The Oscar nominated (and BAFTA winning ) actress Carey Mulligan and Bryan Cranston are negotiations to join Ryan Gosling in Drive.
The film follows Hollywood stuntman who works as getaway driver during robberies. When the obligatory bank job goes wrong, he ends up on the run with a contract on his head and an ex-con's moll in his car. Mulligan would play the female lead in the film(obviously).
Nicolas Winding Refn directs the film, which originally being tooled as a Hugh Jackman starrer.
Mulligan will next be seen in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps alongside Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf which opens on September 24.
