When Yunis woke up, she realized that she was inside a dark stone room.
She was desperately trying to understand the situation with a absentminded. She then tried to move her body, it seemed that a chain that was tied to her right hand was making a noise.
It was not only her right hand. Both her hands and legs were tied to chains connected to the wall, she could hardly move from her sprawled position. Furthermore it seem that the has been restrained by something like a ring of steel bed.(T/N not sure about the last sentence)
She then also realized that all her weapons and armor were removed, at least it can not be seen in her range of vision.
A small lamp light was turned on and Yunis herself was restrained to the bed by the chains. Only this element composted(made up) the room.
There is not even a door at the entrance, so the pa.s.sage goes on somewhere covered in darkness.
"Have you woken up"
From the pa.s.sage a man and a woman appeared.
The man wore a grey robe and had amber coloured hair and had a medium build making him about 20 years old. And then, the succubus with grown wings had a jet black hair, looking at the woman she was wearing some embarra.s.sing clothes [perhaps i should say underwear?].
Seeing that, the absentminded(consciousness) of Yunis clearly woke up.
The evil magician Oulu and his familiar…these two people were able to defeat me(myself). It seems like they never killed me, is good luck really working for me. Though it's quite suspicious, Yunis thought.
"For the time being I`ll introduce myself. My name is Oulu. It seemed that you heard the name "Evil magician". This is my female a.s.sistance called Lil who is an demon. ….Your name is?"
Yunis is desperately thinking about her surroundings. How can i get out of this desperate situation? I have no weapons, I also cannot move, making them have completely control over my life and death.
"….Yunis. The adventure."
I only told them my pet name(nickname) I didn't tell them my full name. A strong magician can only control a person whose name he knows, I remembered hearing this from an magician i got know previously.
"I see. ….Well then Yunis, who instructed you to accept this thing(contract) and from which village requested you come here?
"….No one in particular requested me to do anything. I only hear a rumor about an evil magician and I just decided to turn up and enforce justice."
While she understood that her excuse was rigid. I cannot go and risk causing trouble for the innocent villagers, because they did no crime. Besides, it's not a half lie. I did hear a story about a magician and myself went to bring him down, therefore I emerged to half shake off the confused villagers.
"Oh….well then, who told you about the rumors?"
The foolish Yunis was at loss for words. She then noticed the mistake she made in her speech.
"Rumors of wind"(T/N The grapevines)
Lil facial expressed showed complete shock. Yunis was regretting her own words.
"On the grapevines….if that's the case it can't be helped."
Nevertheless Oulu shows an understanding to those desperate words.
"Yeah that's right! Since am not clever(ditz) I complete forgot where i heard such a thing!"
Yunis words, were somehow said in hurry to Lil
In addition to that Oulu was not against Yunis.
"If you don't remember it can't be helped. ….I have no choice but to burn all the villages"
Oulu said while still looking casual in contrast with Yunis whose whole face seemed to be frozen.
"Its a pity that all the innocent villagers will have to be burned, it can't be helped. Even though there is no other choice(subst.i.tute) so—."
Yunis shouted interrupting Oulu words.
"The people from the village did not do anything wrong! I.. I did it on my own accord. Therefore, please, at least not the villagers…."
Yunis appealed(begged) causing the chains to make a shaking noise.
In this state she even bowed and did not cling.(T/N not sure)
"Well then you're saying you did all the bad(wrongdoings) then?"
"That right! The villagers did not nothing wrong, they tried to stop me but i shaked them off and went on my own"
"Well then, do you swear to take all the punishment for the sins(wrongdoing) yourself has done(or responsible for)?"
"…..I swear. I swear so absolute do not hurt the people from the villages."
"Do not say such a disreputable thing."
Oulu st.i.tch together those words in an easy to understand manner.(T/N not sure)
"If you do not want the villagers to be killed listen to want I say"—and etc, I am not threaten you. I am only asking where the sin lies, even though I am a self proclaimed evil, I do not idly kill people who bear no sins. The previously destroyed village, was because they drew their swords resisting(opposing) me. If you say you alone have(bear the) sin, then there is no reason to punish another person."(T/N not sure about 等と )
"I understand. I alone have sin. Therefore only I should bear the punishment."
Yunis stared direct at Oulu like that. After this oneself obtains and go through some sort of state of anxiety.(T/N am not sure, the manga shows thats where the hypnotist starts) But still she wanted to avoid causing trouble for the villagers. In the end because of obstinacy of the young girl who holds the destiny to become an 'hero' has a strong sense of justice.
"I understand, if so then I`ll give you the punishment."
Oulu takes out a dagger from his pocket and thrust it towards Yunis breast. She prepares herself for the sharp pain but in spite of her expectation she suddenly closed her eyes, the dagger without causing a single scratch moved smoothly from her breast till it reach her waist. Along with that the clothes she was wearing was completely split in two.
As for this Yunis mostly likely expected that this would happen during the development and it was the one she wished would not happen.
However Oulu and Lil did not have different ideas as for get acquainted with Yunis skin being exposed. (T/N not sure)
While the woman had a bewitching smile Yunis was puzzled, as a transparent finger glided towards Yunis breast.
Afterwards an voice was raised which shocked Yunis that such an sweet voice came from herself.
"Fufu~ cute. You're quite sensitive aren't you"
Lil then glides her fingertip from Yunis breast towards her navel. Despite this time Yunis preparing herself, a voice did not raise though it can be said that the sensation that runs along the spine is hard to resist so in the end Yunis voice still leaks out.
The place that Lil was touching gradually became hot causing the inside of Yunis body to ache. Until now she never felt such pleasure making her feel like she is being played with. Although she(opponent) is the same s.e.x she is a fierce cunning succubus, only light touching, causing Yunis to steadily rise.
"Its about time I touched here."
Unexpectedly, Lil crawls between Yunis legs.
"Fufu, your already soaking wet."
While laughing and smiling, Lil deliberately makes a sound while touching Yunis private area. Making the gaping sound Yunis face became dyed red in shyness.
"I wonder what this is?"
Lil fingertip goes inside of Yunis most sensitive part…..stealing her excess c.l.i.t, unintentionally Yunis raised a high voice.(T/N not sure what 淫核 means)
"That`s a good reaction. Although your a virgin have you been diligently masturbating?"
"Such a thing….faa"
The moment she answered back lil finished off her c.l.i.t and once again causing Yunis voice to raise.(T/N not sure what すりあげ means)
"What, such a thing? Do you like with such force? Aren't I right, you like to be put on the edge to satisfy yourself. (T/N not sure what 事大 means and not sure for last sentence)
"Fuaaaaaa! That kind nyaaa! No, stop, you must not!"
Lil`s tongue crawled up from the side to Yunis nipples caused a ticklish feeling. Lil complete grasped Yunis responses and took advantage of her body by playing with it.
"Well then it will soon feel good"(T/N not sure)
Together with such words Yunis regained her sense to only feel in a single gulp her legs are pushed open. While there is no recollection of a short while ago. It seem that without being aware she lost consciousness .
As far as she remembered it was instant but for Lil it was [2 hours] of teasing. That person was caressing Yunis making her raise her voice quite often, begging for forgiveness, she felt so satisfied that she would go mad. (T/N Not sure about the last part)
The bed sheets were soaking wet in sweat and s.e.x fluids and lukewarm water was collected under her a.s.s which could said to be incontinence.Lil Frightening finger technique brought Yunis to the peak(climax).
While it's possible to get so excited, perhaps with only just one stroke seems to be able to send her off, but her o.r.g.a.s.m did not arrive, but in an instance her thing is continued to be teased.(T/N not sure)
Come to think of it I wonder why my legs are spread out, even though my legs are tied to the chains, so how come my feet are bent….Yunis consciousness vaguely considers it but she was suddenly awaken by a sharp pain of her groin being rip apart.
"U, Aaaa!?"
She turns towards where she feels the pain, she was unaware that Oulu was between her legs thrusting into her, so she became angry at his thing that was being poked in her most secret place.
Gradually the hard sharp pain that was attacking Yunis felt like a bare hand was grasping her internal organs. At the same time it can't be helped since she is being attack she felt a loss of how she was losing her purity.
She didn't think that as an adventure she would be making love like an ordinary girl with a demon and a thieve as a partner. However it was important because she still had a dream for her first experience to be normal. It was now that she looked and realized she didn't know the man who was trampling her. Not know caused tears to run along Yunis cheeks.
Oulu gently places his hand on her face. Then gradually from his hand a warmth was transmitted and in an instant all the pain was gone.
"Its all right. ……The pain is gone right?"
Suddenly Yunis nodded.
A gentle voice whispered close to her ear making something settle in Yunis heart causing a feeling of loss. In her head it was now she understood that the man before her stole her purity by polluting it with his thing.
However Yunis mind was lost as she sensed that the man before her had healed her when he buried himself in her. The feeling(pain) was gone.
"I am moving."
Slowly Oulu began pumping. Yunis became anxious of his thing gently moving. Every time Oulu stroke Yunis head the pain of being deflowered eased and every time Oulu d.i.c.k bore inside of Yunis instead of pain, her body tingled(ached) with sweet satisfaction was felt.
"Guu…!"(T/N *clench*)
Yunis clenched her teeth desperately trying to endure. This punishment. Its natural for someone who committed a crime to be punished. Therefore Yunis must endure.
However it suddenly stopped. Oulu stopped his movement to stare motionless at Yunis face. Yunis also stared at his expression and was perplexed.
"What is it?"
Oulu asked. The question Yunis wanted to ask. Why did you stop moving…. but she held back. She thought she must be crazy to think of such a thing.
"I think if something happened you should honestly express it."(T/N not sure)
However Oulu`s whisper showed that it was seen through.
"I think the thing you want to say is it's not a sin. The truth is that it's a naturally behaviour so why is it a sin? There is nothing necessary to endure it's just good to accept it as it is. That's the [Righteous thing] isn't it.(T/N not sure)
Inside of Yunis swayed as her reason became delirious and the threshold of trace(ecstasy) was reached causing Yunis to be in hurry to be teased. Those words heard far away soaked into her.(T/N not sure)
"…..As….."(T/N not sure)
"How did you do it"
"Yes! That! That feels good!"(T/N not sure)
As he thrust into Yunis he is greeted by a raised flirtatious voice. She eagerly tries to shake her body but because of the restraints she couldn't move hence she indulges in some of the pleasure.
"Its good. Yunis is the best……."
"Mhhmm, haa, good, its good…."
It seems based on Yunis expression that the pleasure has already dissolved her convict because there is no light of reason in her eyes. Its normal to greedily wish for pleasure so Oulu decided to whole accept that.
While Oulu was thrusting into Yunis v.a.g.i.n.a he released a section of her constraints.
Yunis immediate moved her arm towards Oulu necks tightly cling to it, while vigorously moving her waist.
"AAh, it's amazing! Good, More, even more!"
While kissing Yunis, Oulu was moving his waist like making a circle(clockwise motion). At the same time he raised his fingers to her wet v.a.g.i.n.a lips of s.e.xuial fuilds to trace and pinch it.(T/N not sure)
"Aahhhha! This, its great, its good! Iiii….hiyaa…Uuu!"(T/N not sure)
「ああああっ! それ、それいいっ、いいのぉっ! いっ……イ、ちゃっ……うぅっ!」*
Just at that moment Yunis voice was very high.
"That's right, Go! with all my strength!"
「そうだ、イけっ! 思いっきり……っ!」*
As Yunis body trembled she was taken back at her body. Without a moment to delay Oulu spilled out all of his c.u.m inside her v.a.g.i.n.a.
"Like a hero star s.h.i.+ning"(T/N not sure i guessed)
Just as Oulu whispers a keyword Yunis expression was melted in pleasure and lost the focus that was in her eyes.
"Afterwards…a hypnosis is effectiveness successful.
Oulu looks into her eyes and to make sure that the hypnosis is effective he goes and touches her body.
"Just now what were you doing? Is that a type of brainwash magic?"
Since Oulu began to embrace Yunis, Lil asked who was in the corner of the room closely watching the transition.
"No, this is just an ordinary hypnotism. Her consciousness is not in a state to wake up. This is called the hypnotic state.
Some time ago you were caressing her and after some time you used black magic and monotone stimulus, after the hypnotism, she was in a state where it was possible to insert one keyword in her mind."
"So even though her consciousness is awake….this situation will only seem like a dream."
"No, rather its the opposite. When you are dreaming your consciousness is asleep. So because of the hypnotism she will not be aware of what is happening, her ability to think and make sound judgements will become almost nonexistence. In this state we can give her some ideas and she will become very obediently and listen to the end, hence we can control her actions by giving her some suggestions(hints).
Its thanks to the effect of the suggestion that some time ago her first time having s.e.x that was forcibly committed can(could) be altered(disordered) to certain extend.
Because of Oulu description, Lil looks into Yunis face with great interest. Even though she is awake and her eyes are open, Lil cannot see the state that was before her eyes.
"Well, if I must say that means the she will truly serve you(Oulu)….will she become a slave?"
Lil asks, but Oulu negatively shakes his head.
"No, the hypnotism is not so almighty. ….Rather I can almost do nothing. I myself hate how it's made that if a suggestion is used immediate it cause the hypnotist to come apart.
Well based on this its, the reason she was born with the 'Hero Star'.
If a thing like the compulsion of a curse it would repel in on shot.
Therefore its fate that it would without exception eliminate any person who tries to obstruct the hero.
"….As for this it cannot obstruct her."
Lil then indicates(points at) restriction tools and chains that binds Yunis to the bed.
"Of course. So, for this method of restriction, eventually in some kind of manner it will break apart.
A small magical flame flashes in front of Yunis as Oulu answered. A simple blinking light flashes repeatedly while becoming deeper, the hypnotic state comes apart.
"Yunis-saa, its time to study. What kind of person would treat you gently?"
"A person who treats people gently….is a good person."
Yunis answers in a non-intonation voice.
"What kind of person would heal your injuries?"
"A person who would heal people is an gentle person…"
"Make sure you remember that firmly(properly). Okay."
So far, I have reaffirm the suggestions that was made before we embraced each other.
"Just a short while ago, I thought isn't it that a natural thing?"
To the question Lil asked, Oulu nods.
"That`s right. Its obvious since it's natural to accept.
Things that are not obvious is difficult to accept.
However, something relatively unconditional is inserted that thing can be accepted.
Even if the other party s.e.xual a.s.saults oneself they would probably hate that man even a little however if it's that case where they unconsciously think that it was a good person. "
As long as Yunis feels it's good the suggestion will continue to work.(T/N not sure)
"So then it means that every time you input a suggestion, just after a few minutes you must treat her gently like she is an child your emotional attached to.
Once more Oulu shakes his head.
"Its not so easy.
As I said earlier, when you were caressing her body she lost calm judgement.
As time pa.s.ses and oneself calm down it would be a funny thing.(T/N not sure)
I will probably remain having a favourable impression, but that doesn't change your logical thinking of me being enemy.
Well, I will need to know to more or less to take into consideration"(T/N not sure)
Before that I must take some safety measures.
So Oulu continues to mummer so more suggestion to Yunis.

News Update: April 18, 2014
For the past few years, Hallmark has released a different Muppet ornament around Christmas time. We've seen Animal, Fozzie Bear, Kermit, Beaker, Statler and Waldorf, and The Swedish Chef, so we had no idea what to expect this year. But now we do! This year's Muppet Hallmark ornament is The Great Gonzo. As with the other ornaments in the series, Gonzo comes with new audio recorded for the ornament--and it's incredible. You can listen to the audio on the Hallmark site. No release date has been announced for the ornament yet, but we'll keep you posted!
This week's most incredible content was completely fan-created and it's unreal. Christopher Graham created and recorded a full digital album for Muppet Christ Superstar, a Muppet-themed parody of the classic musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Christopher performs voices for all of the Muppet and they're all super well done. I'm really blown away by this whole thing. You've gotta give it a listen. Thanks for this awesome treat, Christopher!
With the wonderful new show Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge, a lot of focus has been placed on Brian Henson, who has been giving interviews and presentations a lot recently. One of the best interviews recently was with Entertainment Weekly, where Brian discusses everything from Dinosaurs to Fraggle Rock to The Muppet Christmas Carol and more. The interview is really great and I highly recommend giving it a read!
Miss Piggy and Walter star in a new promo video for Lufthansa Airlines. It involves popcorn and in-flight instructions and it's pretty funny. Check it out below!
Finally, in somber news, the world lost one of its real treasures on April 6th, and we haven't had a chance to cover it yet. Mickey Rooney passed away at age 93. The legendary actor will be remembered for roles in countless films and TV shows as well as being one of the most respected actors in the business, all the way up until his death. Muppet fans remember Mickey Rooney for his cameo during "Life's a Happy Song" in The Muppets, one of his final onscreen appearances. Watch it below. Thanks for everything, Mickey!

A Year in Review: 11 Inspiring Moments from 2016Dec 22, 2016
Since 2001, the Clinton Foundation has worked to improve lives around the world and build upon President Clinton's legacy of public service.
Jump to navigation
In 2015, Hult International Business Schools committed to fund the Hult Prize Foundation's expansion of its start-up challenge to create an action-based entrepreneurship program and Master of Entrepreneurship Program in the Middle East. In support of its entrepreneurship program, Hult will define country-specific challenges and recruit the top two entrepreneurs from 24 countries within the region to spend one calendar year creating an enterprise that can sustainably solve the pressing challenges. Selected participants will be awarded a full-scholarship to the accelerated incubator style master program, where they will be coached, mentored, and taught by world-class entrepreneurs. Upon conclusion of the program, graduates will have commercialized their disruptive start-up enterprises, while simultaneously achieving a masters degree. In doing so, the Hult Prize aims to stimulate a new era of entrepreneurs, who have both the academic qualifications and real world experience to have long lasting impact on the region.
Since 2001, the Clinton Foundation has worked to improve lives around the world and build upon President Clinton's legacy of public service.

CNN Anchor Calls Dallas Attack "Brave"
Fredricka Whitfield was discussing Saturday's shooting, which took place outside the Texas city's police headquarters.
A CNN anchor had a surprising assessment of Saturday's Dallas shooting.
The network's Fredricka Whitfield was speaking to CNN legal analyst Philip Holloway when she offered words of praise for the driver of an armored van who opened fire outside of the Dallas police department's headquarters. The driver was killed by a police sniper.
"It was very courageous and brave, if not crazy as well, to open fire on the police headquarters, and now you have this scene, this standoff," Whitfield said.
Holloway responded by saying: "I think the Dallas police did an excellent job handling this situation, and we're very fortunate that no one other than the suspect was injured."
A CNN rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The squares are cut from bias strips, then pieced at alternating angles. Alert readers may remember that Hamish has been the recipient of two projects using these same fabric panels (the gaming quilt and the consolation quilt), so Scrappy should feel right at home.

Tim Duffy's career has been driven by the musical traditions of the American South. His championing of these traditions starts with the people who make the music. For decades now, he has provided for musicians' basic needs, guided their careers, and documented their lives in stunning photographs.
After living for a time in the Old Town section of Mombasa, Kenya, Tim returned to the States and completed an M.A. in Folklore at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He formed relationships with several traditional musicians and began searching for a legendary bluesman they told him about named Guitar Gabriel. In Winston-Salem, North Carolina Tim not only found Gabe, but also a community of impoverished musicians who, despite their material lack, were rich in the traditions of the African American South. Tim set about doing what he could to, first, take care of their basic needs and, then, to get them gigs and document their music. The Music Maker Relief Foundation was born. In the 22 years since its founding, Tim—along with his wife and Managing Director, Denise, and their dedicated team—have assisted and partnered with over 300 artists, issued over 150 CDs, and reached over a million people with live performance in over 40 states and 17 countries around the globe. Tim has been recognized by the ABC Evening News as "Person of the Week," and has been featured in stories by Time, NPR, CBS, PBS and several local media outlets.
Given the nature of Music Maker's mission, Tim gained in-depth experience with booking, promotion, artist development, and other managerial aspects of the music industry. Drawing on this expertise, he established Music Maker's Next Generation program, and brought the Carolina Chocolate Drops to the public's attention. These young African American musicians reinvigorated a range of traditional music styles, wowed audiences in the States and abroad, and won a Grammy in 2011. Members of the group remain close Music Maker associates. Tim continues his management work with Next Generation artists like Lakota John and Spencer Branch.Photography has been at the heart of Tim Duffy's Music Maker journey. Tim took pictures initially for documentary purposes, but soon realized that some of these images told rich, visually and emotionally intricate stories. The great depth of Tim's photographic vision became clear when he turned to the photographic methods of the 19th century, including the platinum palladium process dating back to the 1870s. His wet plate portraits transport viewers into the space of the living past that he has worked so hard to preserve. These images have been on display at the Atrium Gallery of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, the Morris Museum in Augusta, GA, and several galleries in North Carolina, New York, and Kentucky. Some of his plates have become part of the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Museum of African American Culture and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Sales of UK houses rose to a six-year high in March as buyers cashed in on better access to mortgage finance, but raising fears that first-time buyers will find it increasingly difficult to join the market.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors said its seasonally adjusted house price balance, which measures the percentage of surveyors reporting a house price increase in their designated area, rose to +57 in March from an upwardly revised +47 the previous month. Analysts had expected +43 for the month.
Respondents sold on average 22.7 homes in the quarter, the highest number since February 2008. The March reading was close to November's +58, which was the highest since June 2002.
"Now that the housing market recovery is well and truly under way and mortgage finance is more readily available, buyers seem to be looking to test the market right across the country, not just in the usual hot spots of the South East," Simon Rubinsohn, RICS chief economist, said.
Outside London and the South East, the South West and the East Midlands experienced the most noticeable growth in prices, according to the institution.
Despite the encouraging signs, the UK housing market continues to suffer from a lack of new homes coming onto the market, RICS added. New instructions from vendors continued to fall in most parts of the country in March.
The imbalance between supply and demand is not expected to change any time soon, and surveyors are expecting more increases in house prices during the summer.
"For the market to operate effectively, we desperately need more homes in areas where people want to buy and want to live," Rubinsohn added.
"Until this happens we're likely to see prices continue to increase and it is going to be ever harder for many first-time buyers to conceive of ever owning their own home."

The first day of the conference focused on the U.S., particularly on the progress to update the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), and on the effort to improve chemical risk assessments.
TSCA reform continues to gain momentum
When the late Senator Frank Lautenberg and Senator David Vitter introduced the bipartisan Chemical Safety Improvement Act (CSIA), many up to that point said that such a compromise was not possible, and that it was unlikely Congress would be able to advance legislation to update TSCA.
With 13 Republican and 12 Democratic co-sponsors, the CSIA is proof positive for what some said could never come to be – a true, bipartisan compromise bill that will make significant and meaningful improvements to TSCA.
This historic breakthrough helped set the stage for conversations around improving TSCA and action in the House. Last month, Congressman John Shimkus released a discussion draft of the Chemicals in Commerce Act of 2014 (CICA), a bill to update TSCA.
At GlobalChem on Tuesday, Energy and Commerce Committee general counsel David McCarthy said Subcommittee Chairman Shimkus is committed to moving forward with the draft CICA legislation to complement the effort in the Senate.
What the draft legislation is trying to achieve, as McCarthy explained it, is something virtually everyone can agree to: instilling greater confidence that "Made in America" is the new gold standard for innovative products of chemistry that can be used safely – and a new regulatory system that drives innovation, rather than inhibits it, while enhancing safety.
Connie Deford, director of global product sustainability and compliance at Dow Chemical, agreed that the U.S. has reached an all-time low for public confidence in the safety of chemicals, yet we know more about chemicals than ever before. TSCA reform done right can help change that, she said, and getting chemical safety regulations right is "a shared responsibility between government, industry, value chain and consumers," Deford concluded.
Future of federal chemical risk assessments
Getting federal chemical risk assessments back on track is also a key component of setting a gold-standard chemical regulatory system in the U.S.
What we have in place right now are chemical assessment programs that frequently fail to deliver scientifically sound, timely results. Speaking at GlobalChem on Tuesday, Dr. Vincent Cogliano, acting director of EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), said he wants to change that.
Dr. Cogliano noted that EPA has made progress on implementing some key changes to IRIS assessments – and they have plans to do more in the coming months.
According to Dr. Cogliano, EPA wants to "improve the fundamental science of assessments" by adopting systematic review principles and strengthening its peer-review process. They are looking for ways to increase productivity – assessing more chemicals and at a faster rate – to better meet stakeholder needs. And the Agency wants to increase transparency so any concerns or technical issues with are identified and sorted out early in the assessment process, rather than during peer review.
Also participating in the panel discussion was ACC Senior Director of Regulatory Science Policy Dr. Nancy Beck, who illustrated her vision of a future in which IRIS, TSCA Work Plan Chemicals and EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology all follow a more efficient, more credible process for conducting risk assessments.
To get there, according to Dr. Beck, Agencies must follow a series of steps:
Virtually everyone can agree on that last point, and it's also one of the most important. As Dr. Kenneth Olden, director of EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment, told a crowd of stakeholders attending an EPA-sponsored public dialogue around 18 months ago:
[quote]The best way to deal with complex issues, whether they be scientific or otherwise, is through public dialogue and transparency.[/quote]
A recent survey on regulatory risk assessment brought to light many of these same concerns. The survey, conducted by the George Mason University Center for Media and Public Affairs and Center for Health and Risk Communication, identified gaps between what experts would like to see done and what is actually put into practice.
By continuing to engage with stakeholders and outside experts, like those surveyed by GMU, EPA can more effectively improve the objectivity and quality of chemical risk assessments, start to finish. And by continuing to actively seek public input, the Agency can ensure its latest enhancements are implemented correctly and that future improvements can be made without delay.
Science is essential to understanding the world's most pressing challenges and to overcoming them.

Steve Jobs' Speeches and Quotes
Now revered as one of the world's greatest innovators, Steve Jobs gave us more than just iPhones and iPads. To arcane technology, he built in simplicity. To functionality, he added elegance and beauty.
Here are some quotes from Steve Jobs.
Think different
Think big
Connecting the dots. You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
You've got to find what you love.... Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.
Follow your heart.....follow your intuition....
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose
If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?
Death is very likely the single best invention of Life.
Stay hungry, stay foolish

(Still) Wanna be a filmmaker? The folks at OpenSourceCinema (still) want you to be a filmmaker, and they want you to help make their film.
As Art Threat reported back in April, Basement Tapes project is an online collaborative film project – a moving images and sound "wiki", if you will – where anyone can begin to mash-up the feature film project with new video clips, remix the old parts, and add sound. Basement Tapes takes collaborative filmmaking into a whole new dimension: it means inviting the (online) world to participate in the creation of a film.
OpenSourceCinema and Basement Tapes are brainchildren of Brett Gaylor, an artist and activist who has dedicated his creative talents to challenging the creeping cultural cancer of copyright regulations gone amok. The film project is intended as a direct challenge to the dangerous concentration of cultural commons into private hands. Says Gaylor: "Culture—which needs to live and breathe and evolve—is being stored in vaults, released at the discretion of corporate interests. So this film project is about more than just music, it's about the future of all creativity."
Basement Tapes is a documentary about copyright in the digital age. But how the film deals with the subject is entirely up to us. Check out the ever evolving wiki script for the film…and then change it! That's the point. The film creating process has been opened up to the anyone who can get themselves online.
The film is edited in segments. Participants get involved by remixing existing segments, or contributing new footage. To remix, you download Final Cut Pro files (you can download them directly or using bittorrent, the files are pretty big), recut, then upload the newly mashed segment. To add footage, you can upload video from your computer or from youtube, you can upload audio, and you can submit still images. The final version of the film is scheduled to shown at the NXNE film and music festival in Toronto June 1, 2008.
To add to the fun, participants can win $250 cash and a role in the final film.
The project raises many questions: Will the copyright questions over source material keep the final film from being screened anywhere but online? Can copyright cops stop the project altogether? What if people culture-jam political and critical material into the mash-up? And these are exactly the kinds of questions Gaylor is trying to raise. Who owns our collective creative output in a digital age? Check out the OpenSourceCinema manifesto.
And get busy. There's lots of film to be shot and cut together before June 1, 2008. The story of the cancerous growth of copyright legislation is our story, and it it's time we told like it really is.
Basement Tapes is being made in creative partnership with eyesteelfilms, the National Filmboard of Canada, Creative Commons, and blip.tv.

Let's mess around with the idea of immortality, and imagine a world where the concept of death doesn't just exist; a world where death and dying is an impossibility, and where ageing ceases after a particular time. Let us allow our imagination to run some miles ahead of us, and let's see what we would come up with. Some time back, I wrote an article on the topic 'age is nothing but a number?' Where I gave my opinions on that popular statement, and recently after replying to a comment that was recently dropped on the post, I allowed my mind […]Read more

I pick my device to start typing, but I am held captive by my memories of that beautiful girl trapped in the predicament of being a street child.

Property Tax Consultant in Dallas, TX
Today, state and local governments depend on property taxes more than ever before. While the recent downturn in the market drove down the value of real estate, government assessments did not keep pace as local municipalities were reluctant to lose the revenue the higher assessments generated. Now that values are increasing in the market, these same municipalites are eager to increase property assessments. As such, many commercial properties are over-assessed and over-taxed.

Some of our services include:

Going, Going, Gone! I Got LOST
As most of you know, I have been following, supporting and covering the Writer's Strike since the beginning. Because to be perfectly honest, this blog wouldn't exist if it weren't for the talented people at every level who are responsible for entertaining me; writers, directors, actors, crew, etc. And now most of them are out of work. So I decided to put my money where my mouth is.
Instead of upgrading my grandfather of an iPod, I bid on and won a complete set of Lost Season 1 trading cards in the Fans4Writers Silent Auction. While I have never been a card collector per se, 100% of the proceeds from this item go directly to the Writers Guild Foundation Industry Support Fund. And not only is the entire box set still shrinkwrapped, it will be personalized to me, with autographs from Lost creator J.J. Abrams and writers/producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. So how on earth could I pass that up?!
By the way, what do you think of this new location and design? I have a poll up, but I'd love to read your comments as well.
Huge thanks to my friend Nick, who was kind enough to design the new logo.

The new site looks good.
I notice that you're practically starting over. However, I wonder if Blogspot has a way of importing all of your old blog entries. I'm pretty sure Wordpress does.
Even if Blogspot has import capability, the source might have to be of a particular blog host.

Home Excess FAQ's
My home insurance policy has an excess, what is it?
Most insurance policies require you, the policyholder, to pay the first part of a claim. This is called the policy excess. It is also sometimes called a deductible.
How does the excess work on my insurance policy?
When you make an insurance claim you will be asked to make a contributory payment towards the cost of the claim once the claims has been settled i.e. repairs have been completed or your claim payment from the insurer will be reduced by the amount of the applicable policy excess. Either way you will have to pay part of the claim yourself.
How long does the insurance policy last?
Home Excess insurance is an annual renewable policy.
Is the Home Excess insurance transferrable to another house?
It is not possible to transfer the policy to another house.
Will I still need to buy home insurance?
Yes, Home Excess insurance is supplementary to your home insurance – it covers the excess under your home insurance policy not the home itself.
What is covered under Home Excess insurance?
This depends on the amount of the original policy excess you choose to protect but is usually equal to your existing excess.
Can I protect the excess under an existing home insurance policy?
Yes; you can take out Home Excess insurance at any time. We recommend that you do so when you purchase or renew your home insurance policy.
What happens if the repair cost is less than the excess under my home insurance policy?
If the value of your claim is a lower than the amount of the excess under your home insurance, it will not be covered under either your home insurance policy or your Home Excess insurance.
How does Home Excess insurance work?
Once you purchase Home Excess insurance your original home insurance policy excess is protected. If you make a claim under your home insurance policy, notify us of the claim, keep your receipts and we will reimburse you the amount of your excess.
I do not live in the UK can I purchase a Home Excess insurance policy?
You need to have a UK address to purchase a Home Excess insurance policy.

On the occasion of its 60th anniversary, La Biblioteca is presenting several exclusive events each month, with an open invitation to the general public.Cine/Film Quebranto (Disrupted), documental/documentary Español/Spanish with English subtitles Talk with director Roberto Fiesco/Plática con el director Roberto Fiesco Fri, Apr 4/Vie, Abr 4 7pm Teatro Santa Ana Reloj 50-A Donation/Cooperación: 30 pesos
April starts with the exclusive presentation of Quebranto (Disrupted), a documentary by Mexican director Roberto Fiesco that has triumphed in various film festivals. Among the awards it has received is the Maguey Award 2013, wich recognizes film productions on sexual diversity at the International Film Festival in Guadalajara (FICG).
Disrupted is a documentary with a special narrative that makes it seem fictional. It tells the story of Doña Lilia Ortega and her son, Fernando García Ortega ("Pinolito"), a child actor in the Mexican cinema of the 1970s, who took part in films such as Fe, esperanza y caridad (Faith, Hope and Charity), by Jorge Fons, playing opposite Katy Jurado, and The Children of Sanchez by Hal Bartlett, opposite Anthony Quinn, among other movies.
As an adult, Fernando revealed his sexuality and "ceased to be a boy to become a girl," transformed into Coral Bonelli. Today she lives with her mother in an old apartment in Garibaldi and has made a living by participating in transvestite shows and choreographing parties for 15 years-old girls. The film has beautiful and well-realized sequences, such as one that inserts shots of Katy Jurado, who played Pinolito's mother in Fe, Esperanza y Caridad, walking in the street, dressed in black, into shots showing Coral dressed like Katy and walking the same streets as an off-screen voice talks about the mother–child relationship. Disrupted is fun and heartbreaking as well. It is a touching story, well spun by Fiesco, ranging from the beginnings of Fernando on the screen to the prostitution of Coral in the streets, with good photography and lighting, portraying every line that crosses the face of Doña Lilia.
"It's an emotional journey with poignant, dramatic and terrible moments; they have lived through very difficult situations, such as death, illness, defeat and frustrated hopes. But amidst all the drama there is also a deep sense of humor and an endearing relationship between them, which is touching for the public," said Fiesco, who has just won another award at the Cartagena Film Festival for his short film Estatuas (Statues).
Disrupted will be showcased at the Teatro Santa Ana on Friday, April 4, at 7pm, in Spanish with English subtitles. The film's director will talk with the audience after the screening.

Tribune-Review adapts to changing newspaper industry
Low subscription numbers and advertising rates in the Pittsburgh area eventually forced Trib Total Media to stop printing the Pittsburgh edition of the Tribune-Review and shift its focus to digital publishing, company President and CEO Jennifer Bertetto said.
Nov. 30 is the last print edition of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. On Dec. 1, the Pittsburgh Trib will continue to publish news about the city and Allegheny County as well as the latest sports and investigative news and stories about health, politics and technology on its website, www.triblive.com, and through a new e-edition delivered via email.
The Greensburg Tribune-Review and Valley News Dispatch will continue to print seven days a week.
"This is part of a trend that is slowly developing around the country," said Chris Daly, a journalism professor at Boston University and a veteran newspaper reporter. "It is inevitable, and the day will come for every news organization."
But some news organizations making the transition have struggled to maintain revenues, readership and relevance.
In some markets where newspapers have cut print altogether, readers have found their news elsewhere, said John K. Hartman, a journalism faculty member at Kent State University and a former professor at Central Michigan University who watched newspapers in Cleveland and across Michigan shift focus from print to digital. Lackluster digital ad revenue — $20 in print advertising is worth about $1 in digital, several analysts said — hasn't helped.
Bertetto said Trib Total Media and the Pittsburgh Trib will be different. Newspapers that completely became digital had to rely solely on the digital format to generate the revenue needed to produce it. The Pittsburgh Trib won't be in that position, Bertetto said.
Ninety percent of the company's revenue comes from printed products, including its daily and weekly papers and commercial printing operations, Bertetto said. The company isn't relying on the all-digital Pittsburgh Trib to support itself through digital ad sales.
"We are very fortunate that we have that much remaining in our legacy products because it does allow us to move into this brave new world unlike any other paper that only has one product," Bertetto said. "They have to make it work on all digital revenue because they don't have the safety net of that other revenue coming in."
For years, the company lost twice as much money as it made on subscription sales. The average annual cost of a newspaper subscription didn't cover half the annual cost to produce, print and deliver the newspaper. Advertising revenue didn't make up the difference, Bertetto said. The company lowered ad rates to attract new clients and widened its circulation footprint to reach more customers, but those moves didn't make the bottom line work, Bertetto said.
Recent buyouts, layoffs and selling off newspaper properties have improved the company's financial situation, Bertetto said. One year into the Trib's strategic plan, revenues are outpacing projections, she said. The newspapers in Greensburg and Tarentum are profitable.
"I feel very confident in our future," Bertetto said. "In fact, in the 18 years that I've been here, this is best financially we have been in as a company."
Bertetto said the Pittsburgh Trib will be an incubator for the rest of the company as it navigates the digital world.
Alan Mutter, a professor in the Graduate School of Journalism at University of California, said others will be watching.
"Innovation requires leaving certain things behind," he said. "It requires breaking some things. It requires teaching old people new tricks, and it requires a serious rethinking of a the business model.
"I do think the experiment you all are embarking on will be closely watched by the industry, and a lot of people will be rooting for you to succeed."

Capitalizing on January Camp
U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has made the primary goals of this January camp clear. For veteran players, it's a chance to hit the ground running in 2015. For the nearly dozen Olympic-age players, it's a development opportunity as they get extended exposure to the National Team environment and build toward Olympic qualifying. But the ultimate prize for all this year is the CONCACAF Gold Cup, since winning the title in July would qualify the United States for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.
- Klinsmann Calls 28 Players for First Training Camp of 2015
- Q&A: Jurgen Klinsmann Discusses Training Camp Roster and First Games of 2015
So how often does an opportunity in the January camp immediately after the World Cup lead to a roster spot in the Gold Cup? The squads from the previous two cycles offer some insight.
In 2007, the U.S. collected a 3-1 victory against Denmark at the then Home Depot Center under interim head coach Bob Bradley. Among the five players who featured against the Danes who also landed on that year's Gold Cup winning roster later that summer were Jonathan Bornstein, Ricardo Clark, and Justin Mapp. Bornstein made his international debut that day against Denmark – and scored his first goal – while Clark earned just his second cap. Both went on to feature in the 2010 FIFA World Cup for the USA.
Four years later – in the same venue – the United States dueled Chile to a 1-1 draw. The New York Red Bulls duo of Juan Agudelo and Tim Ream each picked up their second MNT appearance that day, having played in the last game of 2010 when the USA beat South Africa 1-0 in the Nelson Mandela Challenge Cup in Capetown. Additionally, Nick Rimando started in goal and San Jose Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski made his MNT debut against the Chileans; the pair going on to be a part of Klinsmann's squad at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. All four were part of the team that reached the 2011 Gold Cup final.
One of Klinsmann's most common themes is that "the door is always open." During the next five months, fans will find out who steps in.


text: 1/2986 is an intense and compelling climate change thriller. As the book (and series) progresses, the emphasis is more on the thriller aspect than on the climate. Even so, since the main premise of the plot and setting revolves around a post-collapse scenario explicitly linked to climate change, this novel is an excellent choice for any climate fiction fans who love a good thriller.

From The Lava Flow
I had no idea how far back the history of asset forfeiture goes. Find out all about it in this episode. Also, What's in the News with stories on private disaster relief efforts, cops getting off with murder, Motel 6 is a bootlicker, kindergartner suspended for imagination, and Maine nullifying federal food laws. I also discuss a new contest I'm running that you can win, and a new podcast project I've released for Pax Libertas Productions that you don't want to miss. This episode is brought to you by Tom Woods's Liberty Classroom, helping you to become a smarter and more informed libertarian than ever before, for just 24 cents a day.
One thing I talk a lot about on this show is government theft. Taxation is theft, but so is forfeiture, both civil and criminal. I didn't realize how far back the history of asset forfeiture went until I found an article in the book I Must Speak Out: The Best of The Voluntaryist that was selected and edited by Carl Watner. There is a link to the free ebook version of this book in the show notes to this episode at thelavaflow.com/71.
I found this book while doing research for my latest podcast project called Essential Libertarianism, which I'll be talking about a bit later in this episode. The article in the book is titled "'Sweat Them at Law with Their Own Money': Forfeitures and Taxes in American History" and it goes into detail on the history of this evil perpetrated by our government.
In private disaster relief news, there have been numerous accounts of private groups working to help with the disasters created by the various hurricanes we've seen recently, from the Cajun Navy to the Liberty Coalition for Disaster Relief, a group of anarchists working to crowdfund disaster relief and volunteer coordination. Check out their Facebook group. They are a great organization showing "Without government, who would help people in need?" The link is in the show notes to this episode.
On this topic, several cruise companies sent ships to the Caribbean following some of these hurricanes, lending their massive ships to the relief effort, transporting provisions and picking up stranded tourists.
Interestingly enough, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, uses a private company as a benchmark for how things are on the ground during a disaster. It's called the Waffle House Index and it's a three-color rating that uses green to denote that the local Waffle House restaurant is fully open, yellow for if it's just serving a limited menu (suggesting that it can't get the supplies it needs), and red for closed (a very rare occurrence for the 24-hour chain).
In screw the government news, mere hours after Hurricane Irma, Miami-Dade County was ticketing residents for building code violations on their wrecked properties.
In we investigated ourselves news, the US Department of Justice has decided they will not charge six Baltimore police officers in the death of Freddie Gray. The Department of Justice has been investigating the case since 2015, when Gray, a 25-year-old, black Baltimore resident, died of injuries he sustained while in police custody.
In boot licking companies news, two Motel 6 locations in Phoenix, Arizona are routinely sending in leads to immigration agents when they suspect guests of being undocumented. While an investigation by the Phoenix New Times was unable to get confirmation from Motel 6 headquarters, employees at the motels in question said that collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is standard practice: "We send a report every morning to ICE—all the names of everybody that comes in," a front-desk clerk told the New Times.
But this isn't anything new for Motel 6. In 2015, the ACLU released a statement of other nationwide collaboration with police and the government.
In government indoctrination centers news, a 5-year-old imaginative boy's parents are speaking out after they say their son was suspended from school for telling a teacher that he had a bomb in his backpack.
In nullification news, Maine Governor Paul LePage signed a Food Sovereignty Bill into law, guaranteeing the rights of Maine towns to regulate food production locally, rather than submitting to federal regulation.

I have a new podcast project that just released over the weekend and I think you will want to check it out. It's called Essential Libertarianism and you can get it wherever you get your podcasts including iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play and many others. Check it out at EssentialLibertarianism.com.
Essential Libertarianism IS voluntaryism, and that is the basis for this show. A few months ago I picked up an old book from the early 80's called Neither Bullets Nor Ballots: Essays on Voluntaryism by Carl Watner, George H. Smith, and Wendy McElroy. After reading this book, I had a much better understanding of voluntaryism as a whole and it renewed my commitment to this philosophy. I began digging down the rabbit hole of content at Voluntaryist.com, the website for Carl Watner and The Voluntaryist newsletter which has been publishing continually since 1982, which led me to reach out to him about this project. He agreed to let me do it and he is excited about it as well!

Howdy, folks! It's Ern here, ignoring the fact that summer is coming to an end in a month. It's times like these that I'll do anything to distract myself; even clean out my cage. And, boy, do I find a ton of cool stuff back there, like this super old edition of SHOXX magazine from 1996 with L'Arc~en~Ciel on the cover. HYDE still looks the same. Freaky. But a ton of other people and bands have changed, whether it's visually or not. (And, y'know, since this is visual kei, the visual part matters a whole lot when we're talkin' about image.)
So that brings me to this week's question. We're gonna talk about changes.
Which visual kei bands have undergone the most drastic interesting changes, both visually and musically? Have these changes been for the better or for the worse? Do you have favorite "eras" or "looks" for your favorite bands?
It can be an old, old band, an early 2000's band…heck, it can even be a recent band. (How many costume changes does MEJIBRAY go through in a year again?) Anyways, let me know what you think and let's get that discussion a'rollin'!

Nebraska opponents of the Keystone XL oil pipeline will continue to fight the project, even though the state's highest court allowed its planned route to stand, an attorney for the group said Monday.
Omaha attorney Dave Domina said landowners on the route can challenge the project again once pipeline developer TransCanada uses eminent domain to get access to their property. Once the company begins that process, Domina said individual landowners can fight the company in court battles that could take two to three years with appeals.

In addition, Domina said the landowners could file a new legal challenge against the law itself, using landowners who live directly on the route. Or they could lobby Nebraska lawmakers to try to change the law. It's too early to know which approach they'll choose, Domina said.
"This decision has simply been punted down the road, to be answered another day," Domina said in an interview. "It's up to TransCanada to make the next move."
The Nebraska Supreme Court on Friday ruled against three landowners who sought to overturn Nebraska's 2012 pipeline-siting law, which they say violates the state constitution. Not all of the plaintiffs owned property along the route, but the group sought legal standing as Nebraska taxpayers challenging an illegal use of state money to review the project. TransCanada later reimbursed the state.
The Nebraska attorney general's office argued that, among other things, that the landowners didn't have legal standing to bring the case.
The high court ruled 4-3 that the plaintiffs had standing, and four judges also deemed the law unconstitutional. The remaining three declined to review the constitutional arguments, arguing that the landowners lacked the legal standing. A five-judge supermajority was needed to overturn the law because it raised a constitutional question.
Pipelines are generally reviewed by the Nebraska Public Service Commission, but the siting law allowed then-Gov. Dave Heineman to approve it after a review by the state's environmental department. Heineman, a Republican, supported the pipeline, and the environmental department is a part of the governor's administration. Public Service Commission members are elected.
TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard said offers to landowners are set to expire on Friday, at which point the company can begin eminent domain proceedings. Howard said the company will continue to discuss deals with landowners who are still negotiating in good faith. When warning letters were sent in December, the company said it had voluntary agreements from 84 percent of landowners along the route.
The $8 billion pipeline would carry oil from Canada through Montana and South Dakota to Nebraska, where it would connect with existing pipelines to carry more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Environmentalists and other opponents argue that any leaks could contaminate water supplies, and that the project would increase air pollution around refineries and harm wildlife. But many Republicans, oil industry members and other backers say that those fears are exaggerated and that the pipeline would create jobs and ease American dependence on oil from the Middle East. They note a U.S. State Department report raised no major environmental objections.

35, Dheryneia
Tel.: (00357) 3 740860
Working Hours:
to Friday
7.30 – 16.30
Cultural Centre of Occupied Famagusta is erected on the outskirts of Famagusta,
right next to the hermetically sealed "Attila Line" which since 1974
artificially divides our island, in Dherynia.
Centre operates as a viewpoint where Famagusta people come to gaze from afar,
with the use of binoculars and telescopes, at their beloved and looted city
turned into a Ghost Town. Various information leaflets in different languages,
presentations of video films and Art Exhibitions, organized cultural and
traditional events, are also offered to the visitors free of charge.
1974, Turkey continues to occupy by force 37% of the territory of the Republic
of Cyprus and is systematically engaged in practices of ethnic cleansing, racial
separation and racial discrimination.
Cyprus problem is a clear case of massive and continuing violation of human
rights by Turkey, in breach of the principles of the Charter. The General
Assembly, the Security Council and the Commission of Human Rights of the U.N. as
well as the Non-Aligned Movement, the Commonwealth, the European Parliament, the
Council of Europe and other International organizations, have many times called
for the restoration of Human Rights of the population of Cyprus, in particular
the Refugees.
in utter disregard of these resolutions has not yet withdrawn her armed forces
and continues to occupy 37% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus. The
Turkish invasion and continued military occupation has resulted in the
collective denial of all Human Rights and fundamental freedoms of the people of
Cyprus, since occupation in itself constitutes a negation of all those rights.
her forcible uprooting of the Greek Cypriot population of Famagusta (and of the
rest of our occupied areas) and by her refusal to allow them to return, by her
importing settlers from Anatolia, Turkey is furthering her policy for
geographical separation of the two communities and her expansionist plans.
The term "ghost town was coined by Swedish journalist Jan-Olof
Bengtsson who wrote in Kvallsposten (21.09.77) "Today, September 1977, the
breakfast tables are still set, the laundry still hanging and the lamps still
burning. Famagusta is a ghost-town".
Important points regarding the Political Question of the Town:
In November 1978 the British-American-Canadian
Framework for a solution of the Cyprus Problem proposed the immediate
resettlement of Famagusta which the plan envisaged as an act of goodwill and
progress towards a speedy and final solution of the Cyprus problem.
In his 1978 report to the Security Council the UN
Secretary-General suggested: "The time may be ripe for a concrete attempt
to deal with some important aspects of the existing stalemate on the ground,
thus creating an opening for further significant steps...The status of
Famagusta which obviously should not be kept in its present empty and
decaying condition, may provide an opportunity of the kind. Since Famagusta
is situated in the immediate vicinity of the buffer zone and is patrolled by
UNFICYP troops, it would seem natural to envisage United Nations assistance
in this connection.
In May 1993 the UN Secretary-General proposed a
package of confidence-building measures as a first step towards an overall
settlement. A key issue in the set of proposals was the opening of the
fenced area of Famagusta to resettlement by its original inhabitants.
On 29 June 1998 two resolutions were adopted by
the UN Security Council 1178 and 1179 which reaffirmed all previous
resolutions and called for the withdrawal of non-Cypriot forces as described
in the set of ideas, stressing the importance of eventual demilitarization
of the Republic of Cyprus as an objective in the context of an overall
comprehensive settlement. Since 1974, numerous resolutions have been adopted
by the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly, calling inter alia
for the return of the refugees to their homes and properties.
would assume that in view of all these International Resolutions, the town would
have been returned to its people long ago. Yet, twenty-six years after its
capture, it remains a "ghost town". The people of Famagusta, like all other
Greek Cypriot refugees have a burning desire to return. It is their town.
Thirty-six centuries of their history is there.

Protocol in full practice

"…priority be will be given to reaching agreement of the resettlement of
Varosha under U.N. auspices, implemented without awaiting the outcome of the
discussion on other aspects of the Cyprus problem.
· The Security Council Resolution 550 of 11 May 1984 that: "………………. considers any attempts to settle any part of Famagusta by people other than its inhabitants as inadmissible and calls for the transfer of this area to the administration of the U.N.

Once upon a time
their lived a
Golden Goose Gal
Whom sadly was so
broken hearted,
Unable to spread
her magical wings,
her soul gave up
As this Golden Goose Gal
steadily laid her eggs,
so worthy in their weight,
She pondered her existence,
wondering if she would ever be
freed, uncaged;
her inner beauty
others might finally appreciate.
This sad and lonely
Golden Goose Gal had a heart
as golden as the eggs she laid,
But it would be to everybody's loss,
as they would realise this to late;
Their dollars they counted,
their common sense was delayed!
She continued to lay her
golden eggs for the greedy,
Misers, selfishly bred,
helping themselves
but never the needy.
The Golden Goose Gal
with her heart of gold,
Sat and watched
as her golden eggs
were sold.
She never complained,
she knew that their day
would come,
As every dog
has his day ~
their day would definitely
be more punishable than some!
