Vegan Salted Hot Chocolate + Edible Blue Ridge Feature!
I've got a who-knows-how-old hand crank can opener. You can see on the handle how the edges have been worn out from grappling and scrubbing and getting knocked around. I puncture a hole in the lid of a can of coconut milk and creakily edge around. Silvery-white liquid bubbles up out of the can before I pry the top off to reveal buttery coconut cream underneath.
It's the closest thing to condensed milk in my life, or to cream for that matter. And it's really the only non-dairy milk worthy to be combined with top-notch chocolate. Because making a mediocre cocoa with watery almond milk and leaving half of it sitting out on the side-table is just not going to cut it this time. And the only vegan hot cocoa that gives me that thoughtful, appreciative furrow between my eyebrows is one made with coconut milk.
I can't even tell you how many different versions of vegan hot cocoa I've made. Lets just go ahead and say hundreds. Because who's counting, really? The recipe following is the result of probably too much pointed focus on making chocolate and milk swirl together perfectly. My extremely picky, slightly food-snobby father gives it a big ol thumbs up while sporting a goofy-happy grin post sippage (that's like winning the national hot-chocolate gold-medal, to me). I also tote this one in a thermos on hikes and camping trips. Because If you're going to get prissy about anything in life it should be what's in your cup on the road.
And HEY! My partner/fiancee and I have been featured in the Artisan issue of Edible Blue Ridge!
Pick up a free copy if you're in Central VA, or you can check out the article on Frolic Chocolate via the e-mag here -- scroll through to page 9 and you'll see it under the heading "Bean to Bar."
1/2 cup thickest coconut milk
1/2 cup water
35 grams 70% dark chopped chocolate
1 tbsp simple syrup (or maple syrup)
1 tbsp unsweet cocoa powder
pinch sea salt
Stir together coconut milk and water and pour into a small sauce pot. Heat on medium-high until just simmering. Remove from heat.
Add chocolate and let sit about a minute (this gives the chocolate time to melt properly). Stir, add cocoa powder, salt, and simple syrup. Blend vigorously with a whisk OR quickly blitz it in a blender to get it perfectly combined.
Pour into a big ol' mug. (Sometimes I top mine with toasted marshmallows). Sip & enjoy!

Fact-based decisions
on the web at:
Bill Hocker | Jul 19, 2018
"We'd like to see something that is more data-driven." Sarah Sanders on
Climate Report
, 11/28/18
Lately, the wine industry lobbyists that comment at Planning Commission and BOS meetings will invariably slip in their interest in "fact-based decision making". It was a principal bullet point in the industry's No on C campaign, in trying to make the implication that further protection of the watersheds and their aquifers from over-exploitation for vineyard and winery development was somehow not supported by facts.
The emphasis on "fact-based decisions" and the denigration of the initiative process as a "blunt instrument" by government and industry opponents in the Measure C campaign has seemed to me to be code for industry and government control of the planing process rather than the "emotion-based decision" making by residents that is an inherent part of the initiative process.
The "facts" that industry and government officials tout are conclusions in reports made by technical experts. They are not, in fact, "facts", but are interpretations of quantities of data given certain assumptions. They are expert opinions. As we have seen, where opponents can afford their own experts, as qualified as those hired by the developer, very different opinions often emerge when the data is subjected to different, but no less valid, assumptions. Which opinions are to be used in decisions become the stuff of lawsuits, as the county knows in numerous projects being challenged in court.
Government and developers like "fact-based" decisions. When impacted citizens complain about the harm projects may cause, developers can tout the "fact" that an expert says there will be less-than-significant negative impacts. If you don't agree get your own experts. Experts, of course, cost money. Often lots of money. For the developer they are part of the cost of the project, amortized by the profits to be made. They are tax deductible. For impacted citizens, the cost of hiring experts comes from savings accounts. And they are not tax deductible. And hiring consultants is a complex undertaking they have no experience with, often needing a lawyer to guide the process, an additional expense. The truth is that developers and governments always tout and set the parameters for "fact-based" decisions not because the parameters and opinions are irrefutably true, but because the cost and the effort of refuting them is an enormous burden for any opponents wishing to challenge their projects.
The argument in this post should not be seen as an example of right-wing fact-freedom mongering. We all profess and are committed to making decisions based on reality rather than fantasy. It is an argument only that reality and the opinions of experts are not always the same thing. Were they the same, there would be no disagreement over, say, whether red wine is
good for you
bad for you
. And unfortunately, as we've seen in dozens of examples - think pesticides, tobacco or global warming - expert opinions often depend on the amounts of money to be made by a particular conclusion. Reality can't be held at bay forever, but it can be ignored or hidden for years with enough money given to the task. And as we've seen over and over, in Napa there is lots of money to prove that development projects, and the reality of the traffic they create, and the affordable housing and infrastructure needs they generate, and the resources they use will have a less-than-significant impact on the future of the County. The reality of those impacts, denied or mitigated away for years in "fact-based" development decisions, are now upon us.

Europe, a glorious continent cradled in nature's lap that makes up for its relatively small landmass with its serenity, history, art and culture. Along with the rich heritage each of the 50 plus countries carry with themselves, Europe remains as one of the most popular destinations for tourism across the globe. From the gigantic Alps in Switzerland, to the enchanting Vatican City, Europe celebrates the confluence between being a natural wonder and a manmade marvel.
Travelers often struggle to absorb the benevolence of beauty in such a magnitude with only a few numbered days. In order to help its visitors to bask in this multi-faceted continent, Europe provides for their transportation needs through an extremely intricate and well-connected system. The most acclaimed one being the Eurail Pass. We created a comprehensive Eurail pass guide just for you.
1. What is the Eurail Pass?
The Eurail Pass, previously known as the Eurorail, is a train pass that enables foreign visitors to seamlessly travel across 28 European countries through almost all railway lines and ferry networks. The biggest advantage of the Eurail is that it grants free access to regular scheduled trains and allows you to travel not only cross borders, but also within your desired country.
The Eurail Pass can only be availed by non-European residents. European residents can opt for the InterRail Pass.
2. Are there different categories of a Eurail Pass?
Yes! For the convenience of passengers, the Eurail Pass has been sectioned as follows:
- Eurail Global Pass – This pass extensively encompasses all the participating countries, which are: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey.Apart from North Ireland, United Kingdom is excluded from the Eurail system.
- Eurail Selectpass – This pass covers a selection of 2 to 4 neighbouring countries of your choice. This is an ideal option for the ones who prefer exploring only a handful of countries, but in depth.
- Eurail Single Country Pass – As the name suggests, this pass covers intricately covers only one specific country of your liking. It is to be noted that the Single Country Pass doesn't include France. Interested travelers may opt for buying a French Pass instead.
3. What is the validity of the Eurail Pass?
The Eurail Passes fall under 2 styles, based on the nature of the pass.
- Continuous Pass – This is the Eurail Global Pass. A continuous pass gives the passenger the freedom to travel by train each day that the pass is valid. It is not mandatory for the traveler to use the train services everyday. The validity of the Eurail Global Pass as a continuous one ranges from 15 days, 22 days, 1 month, 2 months or 3 months of railway travel. This type of pass makes traveling extremely flexible, ensuring that you get your own time and space to enjoy your stay in Europe.
- Flexi Pass – This type of pass is more pocket-friendly and suitable for travelers with a stay that is shorter or who do not want to find themselves hopping on to a train every alternate day. All Eurail Passes come under this category. The validity of this pass is that of a fixed number of train travel days until the overall Eurail pass expires.
For instance, if the number of Eurail travel days is 20, your pass will have 20 blank boxed printed on it. All you have to do is record the date in the box before you board the train and avail unlimited train travel on that particular day. Then repeat the process as and when you select a date to travel by the Eurail.
All passengers traveling by the Eurail service must ensure that before they commence their journey on the first day, their Eurail Pass is validated on the station.
4. How to validate an Eurail Pass?
Validating your Eurail Pass is of prime importance, as it signifies that you are authorised to use the railway services. Validation of your pass takes place before you board your first train. In order to do this, all you have to do is visit a railway station of any participating Eurail country, where the official in charge will stamp your pass, fill up the start and end date, along with your passport number. After having done this, your pass will be activated. This process is free of cost.
You may also pre-activate your pass online at the time of booking at www.eurail.com,if you know the exact dates of your travel. An activated pass will be delivered to you at your doorstep within a stipulated time period.
It is compulsory to validate your pass within 11 months of the date of issue.
Many tourist miss out this important step and hop on to their train with an invalidated pass, thus incurring a huge fine.
5. What is the price of the Eurail Pass?
The Eurail Pass prices depend on 3 major factors.
- The type of pass, i.e., Continuous and Flexi
- The number of days you choose to acquire a pass of
- The countries you would like to visit.
The Eurail Single Country Pass ranges from anything between €50 to €150 depending upon the country you choose to visit.
The price of a Eurail Selectpass may start from anything over €100 for 2 countries and extends upto €200 for 4 countries. However, there are many on-going offers and packages that can help you land a good deal.
The Eurail Global Pass are variable as there are multiple options for validity and number of continuous days. Approximately, they may range from €300 to €600.
The Eurail passes are available in 1st and 2nd class; prices of which differ accordingly.
6. Where can I buy my Eurail Pass?
Our Eurorail trip planner makes buying passes extremely simple. Passes can be bought at any European station within the Eurail circuit or they could be purchased online. Buying the pass online helps you save close to 20% on the price. It is hassle-free as the pass can be delivered to your country of residence (shipping charges as applicable) and even to your hotel within Europe. The official Eurail website (www.eurail.com) runs a lot of perennial deals and discounts that aid in reducing costs further.
7. Do I need to make a reservation and what are the reservation fees?
Yes. A reservation is essential while you travel across Europe using your Eurail Pass. It is imperative to understand that the Eurail is a pass and not a ticket. Hence, before boarding the train, although you may fill in the box with the current travel date, you will also have to make a reservation prior to your journey. The reservation is mandatory for high-speed and night trains. In order to update yourself with the reservation of a particular train, you may visit http://www.eurail.com/plan-your-trip/eurail-timetable. Through this website, you will be able to identify if your train requires a reservation.
On an average, the reservation fee per seat for domestic trains may cost anything between €3 t0 €10. For international trains, it extends from €3 to €132, depending on the number of countries you travel to. In case of night trains and high-speed trains, reservations are always required and may cost an estimate of €5 to €155.
8. Eurail Pass v/s point-to-point tickets?
That's a tricky question most travelers have. The Eurail is absolutely worthwhile for those who want to explore the continent in a flexible manner. Since the Eurail Pass enables you to gain full access to an unlimited number of trains and travel to a varied set of destinations at your discretion, the pass is a more preferred option as it is less cumbersome.
However, point-to-point tickets are a cleverer option for those who want to travel locally or regionally. But this is subject to the price of the eurail pass. For this, you must sit down with a calculator, your itinerary or agenda for the day and simply do the math! Eurails are brilliant for longer journeys, and specific destination tickets for shorter ones. For example, Pisa to Milan by a regular train would cost you around €30 and on the basis of your Eurail Pass, let's assume your average ticket cost per day comes up to €45. In that case, availing a regular ticket becomes a cheaper option, allowing you to save a precious day's worth of cost on the Eurail.
To make things easier, you can always shuffle between point-to-point tickets and your Eurail Pass.

Eurail being an economical option, tourists, adventurists, back-packers, solo-travelers and families who come from different corners of the world can indulge in the true colours of Europe, by channelizing their funds and time into the other highlights of the diverse countries. Because the Eurorail is so accommodating and flexible, travelers often craft out their own journeys, without worrying about pre-booked flights and sticking to a set schedule. Since the Eurail train routes are chalked out in a very detailed manner, travelers also have the freedom to visit the off-roads and lesser-known townships, along with the famous landmarks.
A trip to the picturesque Europe can be extremely enriching as you are surrounded with history, architectural spectacles, local flavours and bountiful nature. Skydiving in Croatia, a romantic dinner in Prague, befriending the magical world in Disneyland – Paris, soul-searching amidst the lavender fields in France, relishing chocolates in Switzerland, watching the midnight sun in Norway or letting yourself get baffled by enthralling shades of Lapland, Europe will never let you down!

A Few Good Reasons That Few RVers Routinely Travel To AZ
- by Geno Genov,
- Published in Travel
Arizona is commonly a well-liked holidaymaker vacation spot because just one of the wonders of the world is found here. Nevertheless, the Grand Canyon State surely has far more to provide its tourists. Anyone who has have you been to the State of Arizona will know that thereís more to it than deserts and cactus.
Men and women that are traveling in a recreational vehicle will know that itís actually the best way to visit across this big state. There are lots of places of interest which are not really that close to each other. That is why, traveling in a recreational vehicle is much better. Furthermore, there are many AZ RV parks situated within the State of Arizona.
Precisely Why Would It Be Recommended to Visitin a Recreational Vehicle?
Driving a recreational vehicle will truly have its edges. To start with, it makes never-ending road trips achievable. By stopping at many different AZ RV parks, RVers may get the basic necessities they require. Every so often, they can even have more than that since there are AZ RV parks that really have facilities comparable to five star hotels.
Driving a recreational vehicle also provides for a lot of freedom. A person can pretty much stop at an RV parks, enjoy the facilities, and proceed to another region of the State of Arizona after. Furthermore, it offers freedom as a person can simply take a trip round the state with no need other modes of transportation.
When compared to being at a hotel, staying at an RV parks is also rather a lot cheaper. Needless to say, itís less expensive even though there are RV parks that have precisely the same facilities that many hotels do. Not to mention, there are also recreational vehicles that are furnished with precisely the same furniture as a comfortable home.
What Exactly Are the Fascinating Regions to See in the State of Arizona?
Besides the Grand Canyon that is famous worldwide, Lake Powell is also getting quite famous simply because of the movie John Carter. Though this runs through the Colorado River area and a lot of itís part of Utah, part of itís still part of the State of Arizona.
Metropolitan Phoenix is a well-liked holidaymaker vacation spot for individuals who prefer the big city experience. Casa Grande, Tucson, Yuma, and Cochise are other locations that have loads to provide. These destinations are great for many different activities and there are a lot of destinations to see as well.
Arizona features a combination of different cultures. The first settlers were Native Americans. Eventually, due to the fact that itís close to the US ñ Mexico border, the State of Arizona also has Hispanic influence. Of course, Anglo-American culture is also evident here. Anyone who has ever wanted to know more about the Old West can also head to certain towns in the State of Arizona.
With regards to culture, a person can always go to Casa Grande to learn all about the Native Americans in the area. Men and women that want to know more about the Old West may want to head to Cochise. Yuma is special simply because of the mix of cultures that are evident here. A person can simply see it in the areaís architecture, art, music, food, and traditions.

Latin Name: Nepeta cataria
Common Names: Catnip Leaf
Catnip is a lovely unctuous mint and one of my favorite nervines. It's very soothing to the stomach and can help nervous disorders and anxiety. It has a downward moving energy.
While humans may find dried Nepeta cataria leaves to be effective when taken as an infusion, to their pet felines, Catnip Leaf is in fact not a medicinal herb but a narcotic. Felines have a sense of smell that is far more developed that that of humans - by a magnitude of several million. In fact, it has been suggested that felines perceive scent in the same way that humans perceive color. Just as certain wildcrafted herbs can cause humans to have visual hallucinations, so too does catnip leaf cause your tabby to experience olfactory hallucinations - which, if the typical cat response is any indication, are highly pleasurable, but ultimately harmless.
Ground Catnip Leaf can be used as a tea. If you live with a cat (or more than one), you'll want buy organic bulk herbs like Nepeta cataria in sizable quantities to keep your kitties entertained. (In fact, this natural herb, when given to your cat, is more likely to keep you entertained.)

Ned has written earlier about the "Planned Parenthood" movement founded by Margaret Sanger, and how it was a part of the eugenicist movement, with a subtle but well-defined outcome of reducing America's "unfit" population, among which a disproportionately large number of Blacks were targeted. We have promised to write a bit more about this topic and so here we go.
We are drawing your attention to a Letter to the Editor of the Italian-based online publications the AsiaNews. In the letter, Fr Mark Tardiff, an American Catholic Priest, argues against Obama's stand on abortion when he writes:
The joy over the first black head of state must not overshadow the fact that Obama supports extremely permissive abortion laws, and is against the rights of the unborn. Abortion is diminishing black American communities. The design of Planned Parenthood has always been that of using black leaders to promote the self-destruction of their own people.
Tardiff provided the following statistics to substantiate his arguments:
What compounds the tragedy as well as the irony is that Afro Americans are disproportionately targeted in abortion. Blacks make up 12% of the U.S. population, but 35% of all abortions are performed on black women. Afro Americans are the only minority in the U.S. which is declining in population. Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S. has 78% of all their clinics in minority neighbourhoods.
What is more alarming is the realisation that this development of the so-called "Planned Parenthood Movement" among African Americans is consistent with the thinking of Margaret Sanger and her view on negative eugenics. We once again recommend Edwin Black's book War Against The Weak for more details about the history America's eugenics movement from a humanitarian perspective.
Tardiff concludes his letter by pointing out this tragic irony:
Afro Americans understandably voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Obama, embracing a historic chance to affirm their place in U.S. society. Tragically, all too few of them realize that the candidate they think will bring them much more political prominence strongly supports Planned Parenthood and its abortion policies which, if present trends continue, will reduce the black vote to insignificance by 2038. This, too, falls in line with the strategy of Margaret Sanger. She realized that whites trying to eliminate the "human weeds" would be met with suspicion. She laid great emphasis on recruiting black leaders who would convince their people to cooperate in their own destruction.
It is beyond tragic that the first Afro American elected as President of the United States is a man that Margaret Sanger would have approved of, rather than one that Martin Luther King would have approved of.
We highly recommend Fr Tardiff's letter to everyone who is concerned about the Obama Administration's policy on abortion.

Acazis AG puts its Ethiopian oil mill back into operation
Gilching, Munich, 23rd March 2011. The Executive Board of ACAZIS AG has announced that the company's own oil mill, the largest installation in the Horn of Africa, is currently being serviced and cleaned in order to resume operation.
The oil mill, which was originally built for the pressing of castor oil, will start running again for the production of edible oils. The first oil to be produced will be peanut which will be sold on the domestic market. Acazis AG's primary business, the cultivation of castor in Ethiopia, will remain unaffected. The production of edible oils will be an important milestone for Acazis AG and will consequently represent an important step in the growth of the company.
The decision to reinstate the oil mill was prompted by a resolution passed by the Ethiopian government to restrict and/or prohibit the import of various goods including edible oils due to the prevailing levels of inflation in the country. As Acazis AG's oil mill is located in Ethiopia's largest peanut-cultivation area, the company's Board of Directors together with the Management of Acazis Ethiopia Plc, the company's Ethiopian subsidiary, have decided to put the oil-mill back into operation for the pressing of peanuts.
Member of the Board of Directors, Patrick Bigger, states, "As our oil mill has been out of service, it will take approximately two to three months for the facility to start running efficiently again. This means that we can begin pressing peanuts and producing oil by the second half of 2011. We will be signing contracts with local peanut farmers to supply up to 50 tons of peanuts per day and we will be in a position to produce oil approximately 20 days per month. This will signify an output of approximately 220 tons of peanut oil monthly meaning a net financial monthly return for the company of €140.000,00. The entire peanut waste, known as 'cake', can be further utilised as fodder for livestock which will be resold by Acazis AG. We are delighted to be able to reduce the national deficit in edible oils with this project".
About the company
Acazis AG (Acazis) based in Gilching near Munich, operates in the cultivation and use of castor plants, the production of edible oils, the provision of any related services and the acquisition and management of companies and shareholding in related companies as well as the as the carrying out of Executive Board functions.

text: One thing you have to realize is that most of the colleges and scholarship awarding institutions receive a lot of scholarship applications every year. These are more than the number they can take and these applications come with educational qualifications and academic records that are somewhat similar. So, for the selection committee to evaluate these applicants, they always look at the entire application, so as to highlight and capitalize on the positive distinctions between these applicants. The former activities and accomplishments of the students and their academic record are given in the statement, and the evaluating body assesses the applicant's character and achievements through these. The major reason for this is to ascertain what the body can offer to each student. It simply follows that students that will benefit more from the program are accepted. Because of this, your scholarship personal statement should perform the sole task of trying to elaborate what the school can offer you or the things you will gain from the program as a benefit to your career goals. You do this by establishing the relationship between what you are seeking and what the school or body offers. This is the core of the statement and many people fail to understand this. If you do not understand this, don't write something that is substandard. Contact us for your personal statement. Our services include narrative essay definition for students.

Faithful Relationships & Teamwork - by Ben Bonython
1 Be Positive // Start conversations with good news. Share something to be thankful for. Be the first to share something positive and ask others to share some good news. It costs nothing to create positivity.
2 Only Human // Mistakes happen. But that doesn't make it a premeditated failure. Believe that people seek to do their best but mistakes can happen, small tasks can be forgotten. Mistakes are not sin. But habits of being late often or unprepared, or not helping or not giving your best are issues that need to be addressed. But let us be careful in communication. Careful communication makes sure that handling errors are not to shame another into change, but rather to encourage others to grow.
3 Promote Learning // People having a go make mistakes and do not perform like pro's. But mistakes are a significant opportunity we are given to learn. Correction is not punishment, but the expression of love and the belief for a better next time! Any team that is unwilling to make mistakes is basically unwilling to create, learn or grow. Promote learning…from mistakes.
4 Celebrate the New // Sometimes new ideas fail. Avoid any attitude that anticipates or celebrates failure. And take note of your heart when it passively resists 'the new' based on fears. But recognise God's desire for creativity and renewal. Trying something new should be encouraged. Encourage people to dream big and take a risk. And if it fails, look at how to have another go. Celebrate the new!
5 Take 5 // Avoid engaging with anger. Anger turns the most basic issues into major issues. Anger tends rage against the person rather than the issue. And anger mostly leads to worse results! So take time, maybe more time, and calm down. Avoid dealing with issues when you're angry.
6 Right Time Right Place // Some problems, oversights and failures are bigger in consequence, or can be behavioural habits. These issues need to be addressed. At the right time, the right place and in private. So that love is expressed at all times, motivating us to do those good work!
7 Remember People // People matter more than work!

Many car owners use different loyalty programs from gas stations, and certainly everyone knows about the existence of such. Networks of gas stations are trying to attract regular buyers of fuel to give cumulative discounts, free liters or bonuses. There are a lot of programs, like their users. There is a logical question: How can you calculate the benefits of the bonus system? At one gas station it is a bonus point system, at the other it is free fuel and the third gives a constant percentage discount.
As we know, each category, including fuel, can contain multiple templates for expenses.
- Fuel costs are kept separately, fuel incomes (and the discount is essentially an income) is ketp separately, and at the same time all fuel records pass through one common category "Fuel". All entries are taken into account correctly.
- Everything is customized and works as expected. But what if you add a new "Bonuses" template to the fuel category, indicate that it is "Revenue" and consider it to handle all the fuel bonuses?
- All discounts in one place are records of a separate template, they are easy to evaluate or check.
- No additional menus / settings / interfaces that confuse the user – it's easier for both the car owner and me as a developer.
- Such discount handling is somehow not obvious – otherwise there would not be this record, moreover, an example is needed for the concept of the principle (see below).
- Fuel bonuses (1/3/5 gal/liters as a gift, etc.) can cause certain problems.
Suppose you've already worked on it and want to try it. Here is an example:

the grain and light-leaks.
In an instantly gratifying world of digital photographs, film photography is becoming a lost art. It can be easy to become deterred by the extra expense, time, and effort involved, but oh, it's so worth it. There is a feel--the grain, the light-leaks, the colors--that just cannot be reproduced in editing programs by even the most talented. I like the anticipation of waiting for rolls to be developed and the unexpectedness of the finished product.
I have just recently started shooting film and it's been such a gratifying experience so far. My first roll of film, taken back in September (yes, it took me that long to get it developed), was mailed back to me a few days ago. It was so lovely flipping through the images for the first time and reliving memories. Film photography? You have me smitten.
Do you shoot film?

The Barbados economy grew by 2.8 percent in the first quarter of 2011 according to the Central Bank of Barbados.
The economic recovery was led by a strong tourism market with the main U.K. and U.S. markets showing a significant rebound with a 15 percent and 7 percent increase in arrivals respectively. The U.K. recovery can be credited to a strong marketing campaign in the country. The U.S. increase was due to additional airlift capacity from the south of the country.
The International Business and Financial Services Sector also showed signs of recovery with the number of active companies registered in Barbados increasing by 6 percent compared to a year ago. This increase brings the total number of offshore companies registered on the island to 2,411.
Tourism contributed 60 percent of foreign exchange inflows for the period and the offshore sector brought in an additional 12 percent. Private capital inflows were also significantly higher than a year ago.
The construction industry also appears to be recovering posting a 0.3 percent increase. Figures also show that the level of unemployment has declined to 10.5 percent from 11.2 percent.
Government tax receipts have also increased by 4 percent mostly due to the increases in tax rates, namely V.A.T. which grew by 13 percent and individual taxes were up by 2 percent. However, corporate tax revenues fell by 11 percent showing that the effects of the economic downturn are still being felt on the island by local corporations and by the international companies registered here.
There was a $90 million improvement to the fiscal deficit compared to the previous year. This improved the ratio of the fiscal deficit to GDP by 1.6 percent.
Overall, the economy posted a solid performance in the first quarter and is expected to grow by a little over 2 percent in 2011.

Poem of Home By Sofia Laguna Rigolon
Home is body. It is feeling skin against your skin, the smell of someone familiar. It is
my husband's arms around me. It is my baby tumbling inside me. Sometimes, home
means stretching. It means expanding like water. Other times, it is freezing in one
place- under the covers.
Home is the smell of rain on asphalt- or coffee in the morning. Sometimes it is even
the smell of dirty laundry, or a rotten banana peel in your lunch box. It's the diffuser
in the living room, or dog stench right after vacuuming the carpet.
Home is clean- when you make it clean, and dirty when you stop picking up. It is the
new chair in the corner, and the chipped coffee table in the living room. It is the
unopened mail on the counter, and boxes full of re-read love notes, birthday and
Christmas cards.
Home is mind. When it is open to new opportunities, or flirting with past ones. It is
finding a plane ticket stub between the pages of a book you've never read, and the
accordion folder with papers called "documents" you assume you'll need again
Home is the places you stay for a few days, or maybe even years. The small
comforts- the damp towel on the floor- pajamas under the pillow.
Home are the places you also leave behind. The places that become memories, or
unused keys on a keychain.
Home stands still, home moves with you. Home is breath in your body, or its escape.
It is structure- building, drywall, linoleum counter- and it is the lack of it: The trees,
grass, and things that move with the seasons.
Home is a full range of emotion. A favorite song on the radio. Turning onto a street
lined with great trees and children playing outside.
Home is the sound of your mother's voice and your father's laugh. The sound of the
kitchen floor when it creaks the same way it always has.
Sometimes, home is not for you to keep. It is for you to give. With your warmth,
touch, and light kisses on the nose.
I know my home as everything. As I have left home, and found it so many other
places. I feel myself as home as my baby stretches inside me.
I am home. She is home. We are home.
Home is what I carry with me and dare to hold on to.

text: "Growing up in northern California, I noticed a parallel between fearlessness in the water and fearlessness on land. A lot of the big wave guys I grew up idolizing were notorious for getting into serious shit—meth, drunk driving accidents, just general mayhem. As the son of a psychologist, I began to wonder if there was something about the brains of these people that drove this behavior. I took my first research job in San Diego in 2009 and though the place has changed, my questions are still the same. I'm still looking for the biological reasons for risky behavior. I've learned a lot, but most of my questions are still unanswered and that lack of knowledge keeps me motivated." - Michael Barrus

We all know that today computers have become an essential part of the lives of us. And in today's, about everyone has a computer. Everyone needs a computer-related work. And to advance in professional life, computer knowledge becomes a very important thing. So there is one thing on the computer that people who do not pay much attention are their typing speed. When they go to a professional environment or go to work somewhere, they realize that the typing speed they have is very slow. They see people around you typing very quickly and those people themselves become very slow.
So in this article, I will tell you some 5 great tips that will increase your typing speed a lot more than it is now and in just a few days. If you practice these 5 tips every day just a half hour, then in just one week, if your speed is 20-30, then your speed will be 70-80 wpm.
5 Best and Powerful Tips to Increase Your Typing Speed
1. Use Your All Finger on the Keyboard
So the first thing you have to do is, that you have to use all the fingers of your hand i.e. the full 10 fingers in the keyboard. There are many people who use only 3 or 4 fingers, due to which their speed is very low. You should do this whenever you type the next time on the keyboard, you have to check how many fingers you use on the keyboard.
You will see that you will be using only 4,5 more fingers and not be using the fingers of the other. So you have to check that all fingers of both your hands are used in the keyboard. If you practice this every day, you will see that your typing speed will increase significantly. I will also tell you further about where and how to use 10 fingers.
2. Always Keep Them in Home Position
There is a position on the keyboard which we called 'Home Position'. So, this position starts with the smallest finger of your left hand. Your little finger of the left hand should be in 'A' after that, the next must be in 'S', after that, the next finger should be on 'D' and the last finger of that hand should be on 'F' key.
Similarly, the smallest finger of your right hand should be on 'semicolon'(:). After that, the next finger should be on 'L' button. After that, the next finger must be on 'K' key and the last finger of your right hand should be on the 'H' button respectively. And in the last, both thumbs should be in the spacebar.
This is because when you type in the keyboard in this position, all the buttons are accessible to you. By typing in this way on the keyboard, you do not have to spend to much time on finding the key also. That's why you have to practice every day in this position. Regarding regular practice in this position, you will see that your typing speed has improved significantly.
3. Press Right Key with Right Finger
You have to practice this as the position in which your finger is to be pressed against the same position. For this, you have to create a pattern of where to pin the finger. With the help of the given image, you can know which type of finger is to be pressed into. Match the color of your image with the color of the given image and press the keys according to the same.
It would be a bit difficult to follow this pattern initially. But believe it will not happen sooner than typing and typing speed will also increase. Because in this, you must be using 10 fingers of the full 10, which also helps save time and the errors are also very low. So if you practice the above 3 practices every day, then your typing speed will increase very much.
4. Learn Shortcuts of Keyboards
If you want to increase the typing speed, you will have to learn some shortcuts for the computer. In each project, if you are doing programming or if you are working in a software such as PowerPoint, Word or Excel, then there are definitely some shortcuts in them. You have to remember all those shortcuts. All these shortcuts save many of your efforts. I'll tell you some shortcuts like if you want to cut a selected sentence then, press Ctrl + K and if you want to copy then press Ctrl + S for it. And if you want to paste a file or something then press Ctrl + V and for that.
There are shortcuts for many such functions. In facts, you can also create your own shortcuts. You can also create your custom define shortcuts for work or software that works. So it is very important to remember all these shortcuts if you want to increase your typing speed.

5. Sit on Right Posture
The last and most important thing that everyone avoids is those that do not sit properly and do not type. That is, if you are typing in the keyboard, then the wrist of your hands should be in the position of the wrists and the fingers which are in the fingers should be in debt, not in the straight. Your shoulder should be correctly and in the good position and the foot you have should be in the ground.
Keeping the attention of all things is very important if you want to type correctly. It will be said that you will start experiencing tiredness for some time and you will start having pain in your hands and you will not feel like typing. Your speed may increase too, but after some time you will not be able to type. You will have to take a break in the middle of the middle and your hands will get pain.

Texas' lone Blue Dog congressman is undecided on health care
WASHINGTON — As an undecided vote on health care, Rep. Henry Cuellar is at the epicenter of the health care debate. But instead of feeling battered and blue, Texas' only Blue Dog Democrat is enjoying the process and pushing for his issues: Medicaid expansion, tort reform and no federal funding of abortion.
"I'm undecided, and as a good lawyer and politician, I want to see the language" before committing, he said in an interview Tuesday afternoon. "Bottom line, you don't sign anything without reading it."
Although Cuellar voted for the House version of the bill, he has enough problems with the Senate version, and what might come out of the House process this week, that he's biding his time.
"We know what's in the Senate bill, but I want to know what substantive changes might be made to things like Medicaid expansion and tort reform expansion," he said.
Blue Dog Democrats are fiscal conservatives who can also be social conservatives and represent a tough bloc for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to win over.
Cuellar said he has spoken to Pelosi — who is looking for every single vote to secure the 216 she needs to pass the health care legislation — but has not gotten any promises or anything in return. "They're not giving anybody any commitments," he said.
As a representative for the congressional district with the third highest number of uninsured in the country, Cuellar wants to know details of coverage plans and the costs to the state. He is also concerned about protecting Texas' tort limitations, which he secured in the House version of the bill but which is not part of the Senate version.
"I want to make sure federal law doesn't pre-empt state law," said Cuellar.
But the red-light issue that gets the most attention is abortion and on that Cuellar is determined that the existing amendment prevail, forbidding federal funds to be used for abortions. The Senate bill is controversial with anti-abortion groups because it sets up a system that would allow policyholders to buy abortion insurance. Cuellar said he is waiting for a White House interpretation of the Senate language.
Cuellar said he is untroubled by the various procedures Pelosi is considering using, such as "deem and call," which would treat the Senate bill as if it had passed the House and incorporate changes into it.
Republicans have blasted Democrats for the potential use of the procedure.
"It's kind of hypocritical for one party to say, 'This is new,' when this has been used in the past by both parties," said Cuellar. "At the end of the day, I'm more interested in policy than procedure."

Do you have an incomplete smile that you wish to fill with a product that will give you the functionality you need and the freedom you want? If so, we are thrilled to give you the option of wearing dentures!
Dentures in McHenry, Illinois, have pink, gum-like foundations that have false teeth attached to the side, and we offer both complete and partial dentures that can replace all or just a few of your missing teeth. Complete dentures are removable products that are placed over your gums and suctioned to the roof of your mouth. Partial dentures are also removable, but, when they are placed over the gums, they are clasped to the remaining teeth on both sides of the gap. Both of these products are beneficial and successful, and they give you the functionality you need in an oral cavity. If you would like further information on when and where to wear your dentures, please feel free to talk to your dentist, Dr. David A. Browne, during your next appointment.
These products do, however, take some time getting used to. We strongly recommend eating small, soft foods when you begin using the dentures. As time passes by, you can gradually move up to the foods you would normally eat throughout the day. We also suggest speaking difficult words aloud to help your tongue become familiar with the new product in your mouth.
If you would like to learn more, call David A. Browne, DDS, PC now!

text: Michelangelo has definitely fared the worst from all of the TMNT characters. He definitely does tend to lose his composure in the middle of a fight as his thoughts drift towards pizza. Still, he is more than a match for someone like Peter Griffin. Griffin was never even close to being a decent character and at the very least Michelangelo has some combat skills. I can't say the same for Peter. Michelangelo (1970's) wins.

There is a lot of buzz in the mobile app development today. With the increase in a variety of platforms, hardware, tablet PC's, there is full of opportunities for web developers which are quite complex as well.
Before you start building any mobile applications- you must choose a platform. In this article, you will learn how to develop apps for the android platform, a popular platform in the market which was initially developed by Android Inc., a company later purchased by Google. It is now fully open sourced based on the Linux kernel, accounting for its growing popularity.
Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE that is designed to give you a powerful, integrated environment to build Android applications.
Installing Eclipse and the Android SDK
Set up the Android application development environment
The set up allows you to create an application UI, add packages based on the Android Framework API, debug your applications using the Android SDK tools, and even export signed .apk files in order to distribute your application. Let start the installation and configuration process:
- Download the Android SDK for your platform (Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux).
- Extract the downloaded file on your hard drive (on Linux, I use /opt/local/).
- If you don't already have Eclipse installed, download and install the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers package
- Run Eclipse and choose Help->Install New Software.
- Click Add in the Available Software window.
- Enter Android Development Tools in the Name field, and https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ in the Location field.
- Click OK and check Developer Tools in the list of available software. This will install the Android Development Tools and DDMS, Android's debugging tool.
- Click Next and Finish to install the plugin. You'll need to restart Eclipse once everything is installed.
- When Eclipse restarts, choose Window->Preferences and you should seeAndroid listed in the categories.
Creating a New Android Project
• Choose File->New->Project…
• Choose Android Project
• In the New Project dialog, enter the following settings:
Project Name: BrewClock
Build Target: Google Inc. 1.6 (API Level 4)
Application Name: BrewClock
Package Name: com.example.brewclock
Create Activity: BrewClockActivity
Min SDK Version: 4
• Running Your Application
Choose Run->Run or press Ctrl+F11.
Choose Android Application and click OK.
We hope these key concepts will help you developing your own Android applications. As Android is the best platform to start writing applications for a range of mobile devices.

System JO was generous enough to send me a few different lubricants to review. Most recently I posted the review for their Women's H20 Lubricant, this week I'll be reviewing the Agape Women's H20. They're very similar with a few key differences.
First off, their original Women's H20 lists glycerin in the ingredients, while this one doesn't. Glycerin is a type of sugar known to increase the risk of yeast infections. Even though the original version doesn't agitate me in any way, I feel more comfortable knowing there isn't a bigger risk of yeast infections.
Both contain parabens however, which irritate some women. They don't affect me, even though I typically have really sensitive skin.
Full list of Ingredients:
Methyl paraben, Propylene glycol, Propyl paraben, Sodium Carboxy methyl cellulose, Purified water
This lube is very slippery, with a viscosity similar to water. It might run off your fingers onto your sheets, but generally once you put it on an area, it will stay there. If the lube does get onto your sheets, a quick run through the laundry should remove it. It washes off pretty much anything (toys, body parts) with a little soap and water or a damp cloth.
It does stay slippery for a considerably long time, and if it starts getting tacky, a teaspoon of water should rejuvenate it. If you want a lube that lasts a really long time, consider trying their Silicone lube.
I use this lube most often, because silicone toys are almost always involved in my playtime because mixing silicone lube and silicone toys is an awful idea.
The bottle is really cute, discreet and easy to use. I love the fact it is a pump top! Just a pump or two is plenty and the top is easy to press, even with slippery fingers. As long as you keep the protective plastic cap on top of the pump top, it's safe to carry around. I've kept this in my purse for a few days without incident and it doesn't leak when turned on its side.
I honestly can't tell much of a difference between this lube and their Original Women's H20 Lube, which I recently reviewed. However, if I had to pick one, I would go with this one because it's glycerin free.
I own the 4oz bottle and I fully expect it to last about a year, because not much is needed for use.
Thank you System JO! They gave me this product in exchange for an honest review.

The state government has given the Forest Department a bigger responsibility this year.
Apart from undertaking plantation drives, thrust has also been laid on creating more solar powered pumpsets in forest patches to overcome the water crisis and mitigate man-animal conflict.
The government has shown interest in protecting the forest patches in urban areas by developing them into tree parks and constructing boundaries around them. The state government has announced the creation of 50 tree parks in forest lands and name them after noted environmentalist Salumarada Thimakka.
Green mantra
Raising six lakh sandalwood saplings
Development of 700 hectares of sandalwood plantations instead of eucalyptus in Chikkaballapur and Kolar
Raising six crore quality saplings for Vanamahotsava
Surviving saplings incentive raised to Rs 100 under Krishi Aranya Prothsaha Yojane
Roadside plantations along 4,720 km under Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
Establishment of Poornachandra Tejaswi Prathishtana for research at a cost of Rs 5 crore
Forest Research Centre on Bengaluru-Mysuru Road at a cost of Rs 5 crore

A closely watched arbitration panel appointed by the U.S. Copyright Office recommended that online radio stations pay about a seventh of a cent for every song they stream online.
For America Online, which said it was streaming about 160 million songs a month by late last year, the new rates would turn into a monthly bill of about $224,000.
In addition, the rate is retroactive, requiring companies to make back payments that could run to millions of dollars.
The recommendation isn't final yet, but it's already drawing criticism from an Internet trade group, which declared itself to be "extremely disappointed" in the results.
"A lower rate would more accurately reflect the marketplace for music performance rights and the uncertain business environment of the Webcast industry," Digital Media Association (DiMA) Executive Director Jon Potter said in a statement.
However, Hilary Rosen, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, said in a statement, "Artists and labels, who have supported these new businesses from the start with their music, are one step closer to getting paid.
"We would have preferred a higher rate. But in setting a rate that is about 10 times that proposed by the Webcasters, the panel clearly concluded that the Webcasters' proposal was unreasonably low and not credible."
The royalty rates must still be approved by the U.S. Copyright Office. This decision will come only after a 60-day public comment period, and DiMA will use that opportunity to press again for lower rates, the group said.
The proceeding, and the years of dispute preceding it, was kicked off by the passage of a landmark copyright law dealing with digital media in 1998.
In that law, dubbed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a new royalty right for online use was created for the owners of copyrighted works. That meant that if a song were to be played online, the record companies and artists would get a small fee, unlike the case with traditional radio.
Waiting on the final word
But Congress didn't say how much this royalty should be. Individual companies have cut their own deals with record companies over the years, but many Net companies have been waiting until an official rate was set by the government.
Under the terms of the original law, that means that they will have back-payment bills due soon, paying whatever rate is set for the last several years of operation.
Radio broadcasters, which initially thought they would be able to put their ordinary radio shows online without paying the new fee, get off a little easier than Webcasters. The price for streaming an over-the-air broadcast online is half that of a Webcast, or .07 cents per song. Companies that are broadcasting only online will have to pay .14 cents per song streamed.
Each type of company also will have to pay an extra charge totaling 9 percent of their total per-song bill, for a so-called ephemeral license fee.
It's not yet clear whether these rates will cover a type of service that Webcasters call "consumer influenced," in which a listener can skip songs, or have some kind of say in what types of songs are played. Record companies contend that because this gives the listener much more control than is the case with ordinary radio, it's a different kind of service. Webcasters say it should be covered under the ordinary royalty rates.
Court cases in California and New York are under way on this issue.

With its perfect combination of both rustic charm and chic elegance, it is the perfect venue for many brides and grooms. It is a favourite of mine to photograph at as well. I love the vast, beautiful view that the ceremony location boasts as well as the beautifully perfected grounds that look so lovely in photos.

Sport and movies have a chequered history together, and football is no exception. For every Escape to Victory there are multiple films that should have been left on the cutting room floor. And then burnt.
So what's a football fan to do when looking for a film to watch that celebrates the beautiful game in all its glory? Well, hopefully, this infographic will help.
We've put this together to help guide you to the perfect football movie for you. To start we've looked at highest grossing films, just to give you an idea of what films have been successful in the past. But of course, just because a film has made a lot of money doesn't mean it's worth watching. After all, Phantom Menace made about a billion pounds at the box office and no one's rushing to see that again. So we've also included a 'critic choice' selection that recommends a football movie to match your mood. We've picked out the funniest films, the best films about managers, the best films about fans and even the best documentaries about football. We're sure a lot of you are already wondering; that's great, but can I get any of these on Netflix? So we've also singled out the best films about football available on Netflix too.
To finish up we've covered those footballers who've made the leap onto the silver screen. Sure, you probably knew that Vinnie Jones has carved out a career in Hollywood. But were you also aware of Ian Wright's attempt at acting? An attempt that was cruelly denied the Oscar it deserved on the minor issue of his crippling lack of acting talent.

Stability, Integration and Political Modalities: Some American Reflections on the European Project After the Financial Crisis
Published as Chapter 22 in Making Transnational Law Work in the Global Economy: Essays in Honour of Detlev Vagts, Pieter H. F. Bekker, Rudolf Dolzer & Michael Waibel, eds.
To those of us concerned with transnational law, and especially the role of German law on the global stage, it does not need saying that Professor Detlev Vagts is highly deserving of that Germanic and traditional scholarly honour, a Festchrift. (In this context, 'does not need saying' of course means 'should be said repeatedly'.) We all owe Detlev Vagts, and as a Germanic traditionalist, I would be delighted to contribute to this volume on general principle, even if I did not know the man. But I also have personal reasons for wanting to honour Professor Vagts: he taught the basic course in corporations to generations of students at Harvard Law School. In addition, Vagts was one of the advisors to the Ford Fellows Program, which was designed to foster international law teachers. After being one such student and one such fellow, in due course I became a teacher of international and corporation law, so I owe Vagts a double debt of professional gratitude. And, as with so many other young (or once young) scholars, Vagts has been cordially supportive of my efforts to find my way in the academy, for which I am most grateful.
Such things said, however, there is another reason I am happy to have the chance to contribute to this Festschrift. A certain delicacy is called for here, especially since writing for Vagts carries me halfway back to Harvard, where such things are taken so seriously.

Here are our latest research reports.
This scoping study was conducted in two parts, a review of evidence available and a consultation exercise (including both an online survey and a series of consultation events). The project took place from November 2017 – February 2018. We would like to thank all of those who contributed to the scoping study, taking the time to share their valuable insight and experience.
We've conducted research with social care employers with a turnover of less than 10%, and individual employers, to explore what they do that contributes to their success in recruitment and retention.
We've conducted an online survey to explore the breadth of development initiatives and implementation plans for social workers in Child and Family services.
In order to gain a better understanding of the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) in adult social work we've conducted an online survey.
Care coordination is an important aspect of integration between social care and health. Many areas have seen a rise in staff involved in coordinating care. This can include activities like supporting people using services to access appropriate care and support, working with professionals to raise awareness of local services available and reducing duplication of efforts.
We've spoken to employers in social care and health to find out about the functions associated with care coordination in their organisation. This short summary gives an overview of the findings from this work.
This report assesses the longer-term impact of a values based approach to recruitment and retention by capturing key business performance indicators such as staff retention, absence and performance measures.
This three year longitudinal study aims to the ASYE has made a difference to social work practice and retention.
This research examines the role of the self-employed workforce and their learning and development needs.
This research set out to identify perceived best practice of leading and managing home care teams, including practical techniques, tools and approaches.
We were asked by the Department of Health to investigate the impact of longer working hours on the quality of care provided in the adult social care sector.
This research looked at the role of Apprenticeships in recruitment, succession and workforce development planning in small and medium-sized organisations in adult social care.
This research looks at the views of performance management and the sources of information and support available within health and social care.
These research reports determine how to support social care employers and personal assistants in dealing with violence and abuse in the workplace.
Can't find what you need? Take a look at our Research Knowledge Base, an online searchable database with information about the adult social care workforce. Here you will also find older Skills for Care research reports.

This report sets out the findings from an evaluation of the first phase of the Skills for Care New Types of Worker programme 2003-2006 comprising 28 pilots covering different parts of the social care sector. It includes an examination of recruitment and retention within the pilots.
This report documents the learnings from the Landmark Practice Learning Project placing 10 social work students in practice learning placements within South Staffordshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
This project estimates the number of recruitment agency operations nationally, and in each of the nine SfC regions, that provide migrant workers to adult social care employers including end users, the numbers of such workers being supplied from where, and the demand for migrant workers from adult social care employers. It is designed as an interim measure until the NMDS-SC is able to collect this information.
To identify examples of good recruitment practice in other industry sectors and to develop an action plan for adult social care employers in Greater Merseyside and a guidance document/toolkit that will act as a resource to assist employers in recruiting individuals aged 50 and over.
This latest edition of Skills for Care's State of the Adult Social Care Workforce is the most comprehensive yet and contains new information on the complex workforce which provides social care for adults and older people in England. The report's main objective is to provide a statistical overview of this workforce in 2009, updating previous information and covering new developments in this fast-changing area. The main focus is on the national picture. There is a separate appendix containing regional statistics.
