The Beninese people originate from the Republic of Benin, a country in West Africa which is bordered by Togo to the west, Nigeria to the east, and Burkina Faso and Niger to the north. The majority originated from the small southern coastline of the Bight of Benin, part of the Gulf of Guinea in the northernmost tropical portion of the Atlantic Ocean.
They speak French. Their music often includes native folk music combined with Ghanaian highlife, French cabaret, American rock, funk and soul, and Congolese rumba. Their diet, especially those from south Benin, includes the most common ingredient corn, often used to prepare dough which is mainly served with peanut- or tomato-based sauces. Fish and chicken are the most common meats used in southern Beninese cuisine, along with beef and goat.
The majority of Beninese adhere to Roman Catholicism, followed closely by Islam. A small percentage are evangelical Christians.

What is Routing?
Imagine having to travel in Paris, France, from the Vendome to the Eiffel Tower. This path would require us to use a map and review the streets and turns we would take. In networking, packets don't get a map and aren't smart enough to review the path ahead of time. They go to where they are directed, the next Router in the path. For us, it would be similar to driving to the gas station asking for directions to the next gas station in the general direction of the Eiffel Tower. We would repeat this gas station based driving until we reach our destination. (Note: the car driver is not male… 😉 ) The gas station attendant would look up the map for us and point us in the right direction. Packets use a Routed Protocol that has logical network and host portions. Routers use the network portion to create a Routing Table to direct packets. The Routing Table is updated by Routing Protocols. The Default Gateway (DGW) is the first router in the path. The packet has the DGW defined by DHCP or administratively.
Now where are we going in our car is typically a street address and exact location. In IP routing, it's a subnet, a general location that will be defined to exact the by the local default gateway (the local router). Finally how do the gas stations know about other gas stations to give us directions to them, that would be a map that needs to be updated everytime a new location is defined. In IP routing, thats a Routing Protocol used to update all the routers.
- Routed Protocol
A packet based solution that uses hierarchical logical addressing where a network portion of the address provides a general location, like a city. The host portion defines the exact location, like a street address.
Examples Appletalk, IPX, IPv4 and IPv6.
- Router
Network device that resides in Layer 3 and handles the forwarding of packets from one subnet to another. Routers are the default gateways for endpoints and stops the propagation of broadcasts.
- Routing Protocol
Routing protocol is used by routers to update each other about locations/ subnets that are available and how to proceed to them.
Examples RIP, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF.
- Default Gateway
A default gateway is defined on end points to send traffic that is not for the local network. This traffic is identified by just looking at the network portion of the address to determine if it's local or not.
Routing is typically defined into three types
- Static Routing
- Default Routing
- Dynamic Routing

Covering pertinent areas of sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) this forward-looking book examines SRI in developing markets including its evolution, principles and concepts. It explores the drivers and challenges in developing economies and analyses the theoretical underpinnings to critical issues pertaining to SRI.
Evaluating the myriad dimensions of how disasters can affect economic activity and decision-making, this cutting-edge Handbook presents a timely analysis of the conditions that reduce or exacerbate disaster impacts. Addressing developments in research on disaster economics, internationally recognized scholars combine theoretical considerations with empirical methods to expand and improve the field of disaster mitigation.
Reviewing over 50 years of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) policy-making and implementation around the world, this thought-provoking Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the current research surrounding EIA. Presenting new trends in law and policy-making, it highlights best practices in the application of technology to impact prediction and management, procedural efficiency, decision-making and public participation.
Situating a comprehensive microbehavioral analysis of the economics of climate change within a discussion of the most pressing global climate change issues and policy negotiations, the Handbook of Behavioral Economics and Climate Change is a timely collection of new research on the behaviors of economic agents that are essential to an exposition of climate change economics and policy making.
This Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of how water, energy and food are interconnected, comprising a coherent system: the nexus. It considers the interlinkages between natural resources, governance processes seeking coherence among water, energy and food policies, and the adoption of transdisciplinary approaches in the field.

Honey Chicken Stir Fry
I tried this recipe a couple of weeks ago. Mainly, I made it because I didn't want to go to the store. That's why you'll notice no hard-to-come-by ingredients here. Feel free to change it around….this is a very versatile, kid-friendly recipe.
1 pound chicken pieces — cut into about 1 inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
cooking oil (olive or canola)
6 T. honey
4 T. soy sauce
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
one pound of stir fry vegetables
4 t. cornstarch
2 T. (or a bit more) orange juice
hot cooked rice
1 T. each natural rice wine vinegar and toasted sesame oil (optional: use to toss with chicken vegetable mixture just prior to serving)
In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil until almost browned. Add the honey and soy sauce and the salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the chicken is done (the juices run clear). Remove the chicken and sauce but don't wash the pan. Keep the chicken warm while you cook the vegetables. Add some more oil and cook the vegetables. When the vegetables are almost done, clear a space in the middle of the pan. Add the garlic to this space and cook, stirring for 30 seconds or until fragrant (if you have fresh ginger on hand, mince up some of it and add it along with the garlic). Immediately add back in the chicken and sauce that you've been keeping warm. Combine the orange juice and cornstarch and then add it to the pan. Stir the mixture well. Turn up the heat and cook, boiling and constantly stirring, for another minute or until the sauce is thickened. Toss with the vinegar and sesame oil (if using) and serve immediately over hot cooked rice.
The recipe that I adapted to make this can be found here. Mainly my changes were to double the sauce and change the method, a bit.
This is good, y'all!

World Bulletin / News Desk
Turkey's floating power plant, the Karadeniz powership Rauf Bey, started electricity production in Sudan, a member of the Istanbul-based Karadeniz Energy Group, Karpowership, announced Tuesday.
The powership, which has 180 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity, will supply 150 MW of power to Sudan's national energy grid.
The plant is important for the stability of the country's national grid as it caters for the country's increased energy demand.
The company announced on April 27 that it signed an electricity production and sales agreement with Sudan's electricity company, STPGC.
Karpowership is the sole owner, operator and builder of the first powership fleet in the world. Since 2010, 15 powerships have been completed with total installed capacity exceeding 2,800 MW.
An additional 5,000 MW of powerships are either under construction or in the pipeline.Güncelleme Tarihi: 22 Mayıs 2018, 15:24

This picture is really significant to me. Landscape photography really became a passion for me after seeing the response when I posted this on my Flickr page. Within a couple of hours, it was placed on the In Explore page of Flickr. Although I don't understand it fully, it seems that out of the millions of pictures that are uploaded to Flickr daily, they (The powers that be at Flickr) select a really low percentage of them to be posted in an "elite" page where it is seen in parts of the world that I didn't know existed and to fans of photography and photographers everywhere. By the end of the day, the picture had been viewed 15, 400+ times and was favorited by 243 fans of the In Explore community. I had been shooting landscapes for a while up to this photo, but this one locked it in that this is what I absolutely love to photograph.
Sunrises and sunsets seem to be the most predictable times to photograph. I specifically look for mornings or nights when there are clouds; not enough to obscure the setting or rising of the sun, but hoping for the glow that usually occurs once the sun is below the horizon is an amazing experience. I typically cannot refuse the opportunity to shoot the sunset, and lately, the sunrise if I am awake that early. So many opportunities, as of late, have been presented to photograph the rising sun, despite how much I want to just go back to bed. I choose the beauty of the scene and photograph it to show anyone who looks what I experienced, perhaps even the emotion of the event. The sun rises and sets everyday, but it's taken for granted because of just that: It's supposed to, therefore it's not really a phenomenon to pay attention to.
This picture was captured on a September evening in 2014. It shows me that there is a bounty of beautiful landscapes that can be capture within a few miles of my home, and that those that view it can really appreciate the value of what I am seeing; what I am feeling. A week after this photo was captured, my family and I flew to Lake Buena Vista Florida, where I captured more photos of landscapes within the property of Walt Disney World. Despite everything that is there, I looked forward to returning home, in Michigan, to capture more photos of everything beautiful in a place I am familiar with. Things that most people take for granted or just plainly don't see anymore.

Christian Ministry Professionals
Thomas F. Fischer, M.Div., M.S.A., Editor
Fourth Sunday In Lent
Series A
#1: "Misunderstanding Among the Servants"
Matthew 20:17-28
Rev. Wayne Dobratz, B.A., M.Div.
in it for me?" The question reeks of those who seek power and glory.
Youd think that those who had walked and talked with the Master for years
would understand the nature of His Kingdom and what serving in it entails. But
todays text tells us about: A MISUNDERSTANDING AMONG THE SERVANTS.
I. About Jesus Kingdom
A. It is about blood, sweat and tears--John 15:14-16, Matt 16:21, 17:22, 23, 17:22-23; 26:2
B. It is not about earthly glory--Ps 22:1-31; Isa 53:1-12; Mk 14:64ff
II. About when the glory comes: "We want you to do whatever we want--sit at your right and left in your Kingdom."
A. Not in this life--Mk 14:36; Lk 12:50; John 18:36; Acts 12:2; Rom 8:17; Col 1:24; John 1:9
B. But in the life which is to come, as a reward
1. For faithful service in following Christs example--Col 3:1-4; Lk 22:23-25; John 10:15ff; John 13:12-17; Gal 3:13-14
2. The glory that is promised--Prov 4:18; Dan 12:3; Matt 5:10-12, 10:41; Col
3:23-24; Rev 22:12
The Teachers Commentary reminds us: Instead of "exercising authority" as a ruler who demands and enforces conformity, the Christian leader is to abandon coercion. Jesus said firmly and plainly, "Not so with you." Force, manipulation, demand--all are ruled out in the way by which the servant leader exercises Christian authority. Outward force can produce conformity, but it can never produce that inner commitment which moves people to follow Jesus. How, then, does the servant lead? By serving! The secular ruler speaks the commands, but the spiritual leader demonstrates by his example the kingdom way of life into which he is called to lead others. No wonder Peter picked up this same theme and wrote as an elder to fellow elders, "Be shepherds of Gods flock that is under your care...not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:2-3). By serving, the Christian leader demonstrates the greatness of the love of God, and gently motivates others to follow him. "Whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many" (Matt 20:27-28).

Object: college catalog
For years now your relatives have been asking you: "What do you plan to do when you grow up?" (Ask three students for a response.) Your answer to that question will determine what you will study when you get to high achool. You might take the college prep course or the tech prep course. Its up to you.
When you find what you want to do, one question youll be asking yourself is: "Can I make enough money at this to support a family?" Thats the good kind of question that asks: WHATS IN IT FOR ME?
But that question is often asked the wrong way. The mother of James and John, two of Jesus disciples, wanted to have her sons sit in powerful places in Jesus kingdom. Jesus told them to think it over. There was a whole lot more than they thought in being part of Jesus Kingdom. Jesus was going to the cross to die for our sins. Anyone who followed Him would get rough treatment. Indeed, we know that only one of Jesus twelve disciples "died in bed." The rest died violently.
When you choose what you will study in high school, college or tech school, you know where that path will lead. Following Jesus often leads to the same kind of trouble that Jesus met while He was here with us.
But thats not the end of the story. Jesus rose from the dead and went back to heaven. He is there waiting to reward those who have followed Him to the end.
So start thinking about what you will be doing in high school and where you will go after that. Think about what you want to do with your life. And look forward to seeing Jesus at the end, where He waits to welcome you and reward you for the things you did in serving Him here.

One of the most common desserts in any Venezuelan dinner. Venezuelan pudín de pan — bread pudding — is a delicious way stop wasting old bread.
This the Achilles heel of my diet. I have to use my entire will force to stop me from eating an entire cake — not even exaggerating —- in one sitting. In fact, to take this pictures and to record the video was a miracle that the cake made it in one piece for the photoshoot. Just see how yummy it looks.
The thing that I love the most about this cake is that the more time it sits on the fridge, the more flavor it gets. Usually, I like to make it the day before I need it. This way the bread pudding compacts itself.
You will notice that when you take it out of the oven, the cake is spongier and it rises a bit. For that reason, let it cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before unmolding. After that, I like to wait until it's completely chill and compacted (about 4 hours in room temperature or 2 hours in the fridge).
**Disclaimer: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Some of our links are affiliate links
Can you freeze bread pudding?
Yes! But It doesn't last as much as other freezer desserts. After freezing it you can let it on the freezer for up to 1 month.
Also, when reheated — in the oven because the microwave gives uneven results — it could be a little dry. You can make a little bit more of caramel and drizzle on top to add moisture.
- 4 medium eggs or 3 large eggs
- 1 old baguette
- 2 tablespoon of melted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar
- 500 ml milk
- 400 g condensed milk 1 can
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ⅓ cup raisins
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp water
Preheat the oven 180º (350ºF)
Cut the baguette into small pieces. Add the milk and let it soak for at least 10 minutes.
In a big bowl add the melted butter and the sugar. Mix well. Add all the eggs beaten, the vanilla extract, the condensed milk, and cinnamon.
Incorporate the bread soaked in milk and gently mix. Add the raisins.
Now it's time to prepare the caramel. You have to be very careful because sugar can reach extremely high temperatures ---over 200º. First, add all the sugar in a pan and wait until it starts to melt. Pour the water, be careful because the sugar will release some vapor. Stir until the melted sugar turns into a shiny and brown caramel. It is important to act fast to avoid the caramel solidifying.
In an oven pan pour the caramel in the bottom and spread until the bottom is covered. Now pour the mix of the bread pudding. Take it to the oven for 45 minutes.
Wait 20 minutes before releasing the pudding from the form. Let it chill for 2 hours in the fridge before serve.

Authors Under Attack & Kindle Piracy Policy
Where is an author's place in an Amazon world?
Piracy. The word has run the gamut of affiliated issues in different markets over the years. It's been linked with issues with music and downloading songs without payment to the artist. Remember the days of Napster? Piracy has also been linked to theft for authors. Websites are springing up where full manuscripts are available for public download. This is problematic enough, but Amazon's new stringent policy against kindle piracy creates even further punishment for authors!
Kindle Unlimited has always been controversial for authors. There has always been that double edged sword of affiliating yourself with Amazon to be paid for page reads along with their marketing, but you have to pledge exclusivity. This has always been a difficult decision.
Many authors swear by it and build their entire platform around having their books in the Kindle Unlimited library. Others start off that way to get their book out there and then pull to go wide (aka list it in other vendor marketplaces) after they've got a solid base of reviews. This is what I did.
I felt, as do many authors, that it was unfair that to be listed in Kindle Unlimited I was restricted from even selling my own ebooks directly on my own website! It felt like it goes against the grain of why many of us went into self-publishing in the first place. To have autonomy over marketing decisions. But still, I did understand why some authors chose to stay. The Kindle Unlimited page read payouts are alluring.
However, Amazon recently opened a whole new can of worms against authors. Amazon added kindle piracy to its exclusivity violations. So now in addition to an author already feeling frustrated when their work is stolen and posted on a random site for download, they're also getting shut out of their Amazon accounts.
That's right, Amazon is not even serving them a warning or advice on how to fight the kindle piracy, they are just shutting authors out of their accounts and sole sources of income overnight and citing breach of their exclusivity contracts.
The worst part is authors don't even know how to go about fighting it. Some authors are trying to organize a solidarity Kindle Unlimited strike- however understandably many claim they can't afford to pull their sole income source right now.
There is also a Change.org petition being shared as well as one acknowledging that Amazon is one of the primary sources for this kindle piracy in the first place! Many automated systems use Amazon as the source for them to copy the e-files they share on their free sites.
It's a vicious cycle. An author needs a source for selling/publishing their product, they turn to Amazon and commit to their exclusivity clause, their work gets stolen from Amazon, then Amazon boots them out of the program without support.
This cycle needs to be broken!
Perhaps by at least spreading awareness of this issue, whether that be by sharing this article, the circulating petitions, or just by talking about it– change can occur. Amazon needs to be held accountable and they need to support the authors they are making money from.

Background: Phrynoderma is a type of follicular hyperkeratosis. Various nutritional deficiency disorders have been implicated in the etiology of phrynoderma. Aim: To determine clinical features of phrynoderma and its association with nutritional deficiency signs. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 125 consecutive patients with phrynoderma attending the outpatient department (OPD) of dermatology was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. In all patients, a detailed history was taken and cutaneous examination findings such as distribution, sites of involvement, morphology of the lesions, and signs of nutritional deficiencies were noted. Results: The proportion of patients with phrynoderma attending the OPD was 0.51%. There were 79 males and 46 females. Age of the patients was in the range of 3-26 years with a mean of 10 4.3 years. The lesions were asymptomatic in 114 (91.2%) patients. The distribution of lesions was bilateral and symmetrical in 89 (71.2%) patients. The disease was localized (elbows, knees, extensor extremities, and/or buttocks) in 106 (84.8%) patients. The site of onset was elbows in 106 (84.8%) patients. The lesions were discrete, keratotic, follicular, pigmented or skin colored, acuminate papules in all patients. Signs of vitamin A and vitamin B-complex deficiency were present in 3.2% and 9.6% patients, respectively. Epidermal hyperkeratosis, follicular hyperkeratosis, and follicular plugging were present in the entire biopsy specimen. Conclusion: Phrynoderma is a disorder with distinctive clinical features and can be considered as a multifactorial disease involving multiple nutrients, local factors like pressure and friction, and environmental factors in the setting of increased nutritional demand.

Market Directions
A New Business Venture for Local Businesses Citibank and other organizations that wanted to cater to SMB's and Home Based Businesses needed to get the word out that hey were business friendly and more importantly small and really small business friendly-- they hired Market Directions to get the job done!
Executive Summary How do multi national giants like Citibank attract and retain small businesses? --- Market Directions was up to the challenge.
Rochester, NY Citibank and Citi businesses customers formed an organization whose mission was to acquire new and profitable small business accounts. They hired Market Directions to do a survey of small and home based business, publish and publicize the results, create buzz, a marketing plan and attract new business. It worked!
Challenges Local Citibank branches and their large customers were perceived in the community as not being business friendly to small and local companies.
Xerox, a multi-national furniture store and an office supply chain. The challenge was to get small businesses to see that theses large organizations
They had an image problem with this sector and yet they wanted to enter the $Billion plus market and help small businesses with their unique needs. Members of the Citi Association formed included
understood their operations and their pain points and welcomed them as customers. Additionally, the Citi organization needed to identify and learn about small businesses in the community.
Mary M Malaszek, Market Directions
Strategy Developed Citi and its member businesses hired Market Directions to conduct a survey of small and home based businesses. The strategy for this tactic was that the survey would help Citibank understand these businesses while providing a platform for introducing Citi to small businesses in the community.
Tactics Deployed Market Directions did due diligence in researching the local and national small business market along with projections for growth. Once the market was understood a survey was deployed and distributed. The survey was distributed under Market Directions' brand as MD is a small businesses and acceptance would be greater. A local list was compiled, the survey was distributed by mail, phone and email. The results were over a 30% response rate. Once the results were compiled they were announced via a press conference, arranged by Market Directions at an actual Home Based Business. The local press showed up both print and television. An announcement about Citibank's, Xerox's, and the other large business small business offerings were also made at the press conference. Local businesses were also invited to the conference--- it was a huge success.
Results, and Future Plans
A press conference at a home based business, where people could see first hand that large organizations we out at someone's home was a powerful visual.
The results was not only more business for some of the Citibank branches but also more business for the other members. Additionally, from those who responded to the survey, Xerox contacted many businesses to put together a small business advisory board that helped them design and develop tools for small businesses. Furthermore, a perk for Market Directions was that the survey gained national attention and was presented at the Conference of Allied Academics, Inc. Allied Academies, Inc. is an academic emporium composed of the International Academy for Case Studies, Academy of Entrepreneurship, Academy of Managerial Communications, Academy of Market Studies and the Academy of Strategic and Organizational Leadership.

Ceres High's varsity boys soccer team won a combined eight games the past two years.
Third-year coach Danny Barragan believes the Bulldogs are going to enjoy a major turnaround this winter.
"This is the most-talented group I've seen my seven years at Ceres High. Almost everyone can play more than one position. I have a lot of options."Coach Danny Barragan
"This is the most-talented group I've seen my seven years at Ceres High," Barragan said. "Almost everyone can play more than one position. I have a lot of options."
Ceres High's top returners are Saul Ruiz (Sr.), Ivan Arita (Sr.), Raul Guzman (Sr.), Gustavo Hernandez (Sr.), Pablo Duran (Jr.) and Andres Madriz (Jr.).
The Bulldogs' top newcomers are Leo Trujillo (Sr.), Luis Medina (Jr.), Hugo Mercado (Jr.), Victor Hurtado (Jr.) and Hassiel Ruiz (Jr.).
Ruiz was named co-WAC Defender of the Year as a junior.
Medina and Mercado competed at the junior-varsity level last season.
"There's so much competition between the team at practice," Barragan said. "No position is secure. You have to work for it and keep working to have it."
Ceres High's conference schedule includes games against Los Banos, Pacheco, Beyer, Grace Davis, Johansen, Lathrop and Mountain House.
Beyer, Grace Davis, Johansen relocated from the Modesto Metro Conference to the WAC as part of the Sac-Joaquin Section's realignment plan.
Lathrop and Mountain House were members of the Valley Oak League and Trans Valley League last winter.
The top three teams in the WAC qualify for the playoffs.
"In this sport, it doesn't matter how good you are," Barragan said. "You can't underestimate any team."
Ceres High amassed a 4-13-5 overall record and finished fifth in the WAC (2-5-3) during the 2017-18 school year.
"I feel better about my team this year," Barragan said. "I have a lot of good kids. They all have respect for each other. It's a really motivated and talented group."
Barragan has a new assistant coach in Gilberto Zamora.
"He's wanted to help out for years," Barragan said. "He has more experience than I do."
