1. This is a paczki. It is a ball of fried dough with fruit filling or jam inside, sugared or glazed outside. You might recognize it as a jelly donut. It is a jelly donut. I mean, that's all it is, really.
2. It is obviously so much more than that.
3. It's not pronounced how you think it's pronounced.
4. They're very popular in the Midwest. Around the Great Lakes region, Fat Tuesday is often called Paczki Day.
5. Many people think paczki is the singular, as in I ate a pazcki. Paczki is actually plural. Why won't people shut up about paczki. If you want the word in the singular, you use the word paczek, which is pronounced like this. Nobody actually says this unless they want to be deliberately pedantic. Sometimes I feel this way, but less so lately. I often say it the wrong way, just like everybody else.
6. By the time you read this, Paczki Day aka Mardi Gras aka Shrove Tuesday will be weeks in the past and we will be firmly into the forty days of Lent, also known as the shit end of February into March, also known as When Will This Winter End Already.
7. Paczki are one of the ways that Catholics – and anyone who eats donuts, which is pretty much everybody – celebrate the pre-Lenten period. Lent is a time of abstinence and fasting, so before Ash Wednesday kicks off the season, a good Catholic/committed repentant gets rid of the fat, sugar, and alcohol in the house. Paczki et al. are the way to use it all up before the fasting begins.
8. Exactly what your Lenten fasting looks like differs based on level of orthodoxy and exactly how much guilt you built up during the holiday's worth of overeating and family in-fighting. Traditionally you might give up sweets, alcohol, and meat (except for fish, which accounts for the ubiquitous fish fry you'll find all over Michigan). In contemporary practice you might choose just one thing to give up for forty days. You break the fast on Easter, day of marshmallow birds and inexplicable rabbitry.
9. Last fall I was diagnosed as a "highly allergic" person. Among the laundry list of things to avoid was yeast, which is in all things delicious: bread, cheese, beer, wine, barbecue-flavored potato chips. Indulgences that make your salivary glands tingle. I've noticed now that yeast is in more things than I'd expect, anything that needs extra savor on the back of the tongue.
The first few months after my diagnosis I would occasionally eat food with yeast in it. Knowing that my face would bloat and my ears would clog seemed, in the face of freshly buttered toast or homemade farmer's cheese, like a decent trade. I regretted it every time.
10. You probably already guessed it: paczki are made with yeast.
11. I get my Polish blood from my mother's side.
12. When I talk to my mother about eating paczki before Lent, she purses her lip (I can tell even if we're on the phone; my mother's pursed lip is powerful stuff) and says something like, "Aren't those made with lard?" It's true that we didn't eat them growing up. Heritage gets retroactively granted. You are a little Polish and a little Catholic, two heritages you had nothing to do with, so you gravitate toward the cultural intersection of those identities. You want something that's yours, something you feel called to do. Birthright in the literal sense.
13. In college I went on a semester abroad in Germany. The Catholic part of Germany, incidentally, where we had a week off for the Pentecost. I took a solo trip to Warsaw, and before I went, I asked my mother for the exact spelling of my great-Polish-grandfather's last name. Kuropatwinski. I wrote it down on a piece of paper and kept it in my pocket. I didn't do anything with the name – there was nothing to do – but I liked having it there. As totem, connection, reminder that I was in some small way back in my motherland.
I also ate a paczek. I ordered it using the right word. A chocolate one, because chocolate is one of those words pronounceable in almost every language. Rainbow sprinkles on top. The best paczek I have ever had. I crammed it in my mouth and strolled through Old Town and tried not to feel like a tourist.
14. Paczki fire off all the right synapses in your brain, neurons related to greed and sin and withholding and indulgence. But at the end of the day, they are just donuts, aren't they? Donuts made with lard, no less, that most peasant of fats. The traditional filling? Stewed prunes. Hardly a bakery favorite.
15. In college I learned to rattle off my heritage at the drop of a hat. It's one of those things that happens when you get a critical mass of smart young white people in one room. Someone will inevitably ask, "So what are you?" I can say that I am a quarter Italian, a quarter Polish, a quarter Slovakian, equal eighths Scots Irish and German. I used to hold these numbers close like they were important.
16. Vigilantly looking out for tiny shreds of identity is something the Midwest and twenty-somethings have in common.
17. A lot of religious rhetoric focuses around selflessness. You are not simply a collection of base desires and animal instincts; you can participate in something larger. You are the image of your deity on Earth. Give up the things you love – or the things you desire, which might not be the same thing – and find grace.
18. After college I moved to the eastern half of Washington, a place where there were no paczki. Instead of connecting me to my Eastern Bloc blood, paczki became a way for me to assert my Midwestern roots. I called bakeries in Spokane asking if they carried them. If they had even heard of them. I acted like I was very upset when they hadn't. I was upset, at the very least because this was the first time geography presented an obstacle to my sense of self, no matter how newly adopted. I couldn't be myself there. At the end of the day, to mark transition into my first Lent away from Michigan, I think I ate a donut, a standard chocolate eclair filled with cream. I cannot say that I was not satisfied.
19. I usually do Lent. I might not call myself Catholic for a billion reasons, but when asked about my religious preferences I usually say that I was raised Catholic, so close enough. In past years I have given up chocolate (perennial childhood favorite) and meat (my sister, who is more of a badass than I am in a lot of ways, does this most years). Lately I've been flagging. Two years ago, I made a vague commitment to "eat better" that didn't really amount to much since during graduate school we mostly ate beans. One year ago, my winter was filled with panic attacks and sleepless nights, so I didn't want to come within forty feet of "giving up" anything. Instead of abstinence I took a lot of things, mostly for sleep. Melatonin, magnesium, Tylenol PM, chamomile tea in near toxic amounts.
20. This year I sleep much better, for a lot of reasons.
21. This year I am not giving anything up for Lent and I didn't eat a paczki, because I decided the face bloat and headache wasn't worth it. Because I'm still getting used to my new food rituals and what they mean for me. Because trying to give up anything else on top of that is, at the moment, too much to bear. Because growing up seems to be moving beyond rituals for easy identities and getting a little more complex, a little closer to the truth. It's the way I answer my religious preference how I do, or the fact that we moved back to the Midwest even though it often looks like a really stupid idea, and how I looked up my genealogy on ancestry.com but have to admit that I got a little bored.
22. Most animals sleep deeply this time of year. They bury themselves under the loam, layers of fat stored around their bones, cushioning their organs. They too fill themselves up before a great fast though one induced by nature, not glory. When they wake up in the spring time, they are hungrier than ever.

First off, this happened today, and I just about wept with joy.
So while that was going on, I had plenty of time to do this.
What I love about this card is the way the butterfly blends with the paper. It blends so well, in fact, that I added the curvy strip of orange glitter just so you could see the butterfly.
The butterfly was made with a couple of slight variations to my standard technique. First, I used a silver Peel-Off sticker, and colored over it with a Copic Marker (YR09), then I placed it on a transparency instead of cardstock, and covered it with Warm Highlight Glitter Ritz. The background paper is "Bright" from the Lively line by Authentique. I used Copics E79, R39, R85, YR09 and YG21 to match the colors in the paper.

What is a voltmeter?« Back to Questions List
A voltmeter is an instrument that finds wide application in measuring the electrical potential difference, called voltage, between two points in an electric circuit. Letter V in a circle is usually used to represent a voltmeter in an electrical circuit diagram.
Voltmeters are generally classified into two categories: Analog and digital. In analog voltmeter, a pointer across a scale gives indication of potential difference. A digital voltmeter (DVM) converts the measured voltage to a digital value and displays in numeric form. A DVM is designed around an integrating converter, which is a type of analog to digital converter.
A sensitive galvanometer (current meter) in series with a high resistance forms a basic analog voltmeter. The internal resistance of a voltmeter must be high to avoid it drawing significant current. If it uses more current, the function of the circuit being tested may be disturbed.
AC voltmeters are designed to use in alternating current (AC) circuits and DC voltmeters are used in direct current (DC) circuits. Radio Frequency (RF) altimeter is special kind of voltmeter.
There are voltmeters permanently mounted to panels like in generators and electrical panels. Portable instruments are mainly used in electrical and electronic work sites and electrical and electronic laboratories. Digital voltmeters are highly accurate compared to analog ones.
Andrew K is the inventor of digital voltmeter.
How should voltmeters and ammeters be connected in a circuit?
How do transformers work?

Golf thriving in Abu Dhabi
While the pros battle it out for glory in the European Tour event there, a new report says golf tourism is thriving in Abu Dhabi.
Last Updated: 17/01/14 5:04pm
While the pros battle it out for glory in the European Tour event there, a new report says golf tourism is thriving in Abu Dhabi.
Figures released by Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) show the emirate's golf tourism offering grew by 49% in the number of overseas rounds played in 2013 compared to 2012.
Abu Dhabi's golfing industry partially attributes the huge surge in overseas bookings to the runaway success of the 'Golf in Abu Dhabi' initiative - an umbrella marketing, communications, product packaging and distribution platform designed to increase the emirate's penetration of the lucrative golf tourism segment.
"With an international promotional campaign working in key markets, positioning the emirate's fluid and straightforward approach to business, there is reason to suggest numbers will continue on this upward trend," said Chris White, General Manager of the award-winning Yas Links course.
"We have benefitted from our collective approach generating awareness with international tour operators. The feedback is consistently positive, which stems from sales agents having happy customers and experiencing strong enquiries with resulting package sales.
"As we have stated previously, Abu Dhabi has all the right ingredients to be a force to contend with in golf and that's why we're currently outperforming forecasted growth."
More packages are available than ever before, via select tour operators offering a wide variety of Abu Dhabi golfing experiences. Nearly 400 operators have been engaged, all in unanimous support for Abu Dhabi's prospects.
"Abu Dhabi has made a lot of the right moves in positioning itself, but more importantly for us is the quality and simplicity in working relations that has helped the significant growth," commented Edward Terre, Lotus Super Travel, who has seen a major shift from its clientele, increasing sales 200% from 2012 to 2013.
"The appeal of leisure attractions to our clientele, who are keen to experience what the region has to offer beyond the fairways, plays a significant part in the booking criteria. Abu Dhabi has certainly burst onto the scene in some style."
Guests on Golf in Abu Dhabi's Championship packages will experience the finest the emirate has to offer in terms of golf, cuisine and culture, whilst enjoying some of the world's best golfers competing around Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
Matteo Manassero, Abu Dhabi Global Ambassador, has been joined at this week's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by some of the world's best players, including Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson.
"It's without doubt one of the world's finest golf destinations," said Manassero. "At every corner of the globe I travel for golf tournaments, I am inundated with people asking me about Abu Dhabi and what experiences are on offer.
"I tell them it's where I spend my time practising between events, because of the golf facilities and because of the hotels and relaxation it affords visitors. It is number one for me."

Despite the fact that feminists have compellingly drawn connections between traditional notions of reason and the oppression of women and nature, many animal ethicists fail to deeply incorporate these insights. After detailing the links between reason and the oppression of women and animals, I argue that the work of philosophers such as Tom Regan and Peter Singer fails to reflect that what feminists have called is not the mere inclusion of emotion, but a recognition of the inherent continuity between the two. To ignore this continuity, I conclude, risks reinscribing the very suffering we seek to eliminate.

Martin St. Louis Cut By Skate
Martin St. Louis of the Tampa Bay Lightning took a linesman's skate in the face in the dying minutes of his team's 2-0 loss in Ottawa after the linesman tripped and lifted his leg behind, connecting the blade with St. Louis. He left the ice immediately, bleeding heavily, and I haven't heard anything since.
Here's hoping he's got a few stitches in the forehead as opposed something more serious. And here's hoping we don't see another one of these for a while; they're hard to watch.

What is the local area like?
As in locality, also the population and community.
Asked on Sep 3 2009, General in Sutton Coldfield | Report content
Answers (2)
Sort by: Oldest | Recent | Highest rated
Sutton Coldfield has been described as "the most inspirational place to live in the West Midlands". With excellent road and rail connections to the rest of the UK its central position is more than ideal. The properties found in Sutton Coldfield and surrounding area range from small flats and apartments suitable for students and young professionals to what can only be described as manor houses and mansions. Having this diversity means that it is ideal area to base your lifestyle and to establish roots. The town centre itself has excellent array of shops and is easily accessible, not forgetting that a short trains journey to Birmingham city centre is not much of a problem. One of the most predominant features of Sutton Coldfield is the park, the second largest "urban" park in Europe. It is beautiful whether in Summer or Winter and is fantastic for a retreat from town life. Properties around this area a very sought after and great for the Buy-to-Let market.

I would suggest that you look at the local authorities' website or police.gov to see what the crime statistics etc for this area are. You can also look at the local tourist board website which gives you an up to date overview of the area. I would also visit the area and ask some locals.Answered on Aug 15 2011, Report content

A Trip to Cerro San Cristòbal
Today we walked up (half of) Cerro San Cristòbal, Santiago. It was a lovely walk, the streets lined with Chilean families getting out to enjoy their Sunday together. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of beautiful gardens to stop off at on the way up, including a Japanese garden. The public pool halfway up was packed. People young and old were escaping the heat of the sun, cooling off with a dip in the pool.

Case Update
When is domestic violence violent? That was the basic issue in the Supreme Court's decision last week in State v. Castleman. Castleman had moved to dismiss his Federal indictment for possessing a gun while having been convicted of a "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence." The District Court and the 6th Circuit bought his argument that the misdemeanor crime, which involves "the use or attempted use of physical force," requires "violent contact" to fall within the Federal firearm prohibition. SCOTUS wasn't buying, though, and reversed. The 6th Circuit had relied heavily on the Supreme Court's decision four years ago in Johnson v. US, in which the Court held that a conviction for simple battery did not count as a conviction of a "violent felony" under the Armed Career Criminal Act. Sotomayor's opinion in Castleman, which is heavy on statistics about domestic violence and guns, easily disposes of that contention; among other things, while it's unlikely that Congress meant to incorporate the common-law meaning of "force" into the definition of "violent felony," it is likely that "Congress meant to incorporate that misdemeanor-specific meaning of 'force' in defining a 'misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.'"
Friday Roundup
Block that metaphor. Here's a tip. If you happen to be pleading with the judge not to sentence you to prison for beating up your wife for the second time in three years, it's probably not a good idea to tell the judge you're "willing to fight the good fight."
Here's another one. If you're a prosecutor who's five months pregnant and you reject an offer where the three co-defendants would plead to different charges, you probably shouldn't say, "I don't think our office is willing to split the baby like that."
Honest to God. Both of them in the same week.
Attorney independence
Here in Cuyahoga County, indigent defendants are assigned a lawyer by the judge who's in the arraignment room that week. Some judges, very few, just go down the list of lawyers who are on the assigned counsel list one by one. Other judges pick whoever they want from that list.
County Prosecutor Tim McGinty sees this as a system where criminal defense lawyers make contributions to judge's campaigns in return for criminal assignments. He's right. That's exactly what happens.
Rocking the boat
I'm going to file a motion for extraordinary fees in that rape trial I won last week, and I'm probably going to piss off a few criminal defense attorneys when I do that.
What's Up in the 8th
If you lose your trial, you'll have a tough time getting that reversed on appeal. If you lose your appeal, you'll have an even tougher time changing that outcome in post-conviction relief. Reno Woodard, Maurice Jackson, and Matthew Warmus found that out last week.
Marcus Blalock, though, might get lucky.
A rush to death
Dennis McGuire was the last man to be executed in Ohio. The manner of his demise generated debate. McGuire was a guinea pig for the new drug Ohio uses to kill people, and things didn't go well: according to witnesses, McGuire appeared to gasp and convulse for over 20 minutes before succumbing. To the dwindling band of death penalty supporters, the problem was not what happened on the gurney, it was McGuire's lengthy route to it: he'd committed the crime for which he was executed a full quarter century before.
Not that we haven't tried to shorten that. Back in the 1994, Ohio passed the Death Penalty Appeals Amendment to the state constitution, which mandated that all death penalty appeals go directly to the Ohio Supreme Court, bypassing the district court of appeals. Two years later, Congress passed the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), greatly limiting the availability of the "Great Writ" of habeas corpus, in an attempt to stop federal courts from putting up roadblocks to execution.
And so we come to the oral argument two weeks ago in the oral argument in the Supreme Court in Hall v. Florida.
Friday Roundup
Isaac was charged with three counts of rape, one of aggravated robbery, and two of kidnapping, all with three-year firearm specs. They were offering us one rape and one attempted robbery, each with specs. The offenses wouldn't have merged.
If it hadn't been for the video, I probably would have told Isaac to take the deal.
The 21-year-old girl's version was that Isaac, a black boy of 17, came up behind her on the street and put a gun to her. He took her purse, then told her to walk like they were a couple. He took her behind a warehouse and raped her orally, vaginally, and anally, then walked her back out, where he let her go. She ran to a local store, called her boyfriend, and he and his roommate picked her up and drove her home. Her father called 911, EMS and the cops was there in minutes, and she was taken to the hospital. Three months later, she picked his photo out of a lineup, saying she was 60% certain it was him.
Not the worst case to defend, except for the part where I have to explain why they found semen with his DNA in her butt.
A new look at aiding and abetting
Joe and Larry go to make a drug deal. The buyer carefully inspects the pound of marijuana Joe and Larry intend to sell him, but instead of paying for it, he punches Larry in the face, grabs the drugs, and takes off running. Joe pulls out a gun and fires off a couple of shots at the fleeing would-be buyer, and that's when the cops show up. Joe's charged with drug trafficking and felonious assault, each with a three-year firearm specification, and so is Larry. After all, even though Larry didn't have the gun or fire the gun -- he may not have even known Joe had a gun until he discharged it -- he was an accomplice to the crime.
Maybe not.
What's Up in the 8th
Sometimes you win an appeal, and sometimes you WIN an appeal. When you not only get the defendant's conviction and three-year prison sentence reversed, but get the case kicked out altogether, that's a WIN.
Case Update
A decision from SCOTUS in a criminal case, Rosemond v. US, in which Justice Kagan gives comprehensive, and at times colorful, treatment of the issue of complicity. Although Rosemond was convicted under a Federal statute relating to use of a firearm in a drug trafficking crime, the opinion doesn't focus on that, instead honing in on the concept of mens rea: did the defendant know, and thus intend, that a gun would be used? It may well have broader application, to things like the firearm specifications under Ohio law. We'll take a closer look at that later in the week. (Speaking of which, only four posts this week: I'm in a rape trial, have a brief due in the 8th on Wednesday and the Supreme Court the week after, and... Oh, who am I kidding? I'm going to kick back and binge-watch the second season of House of Cards. So there.)
Friday Roundup
They blinded me with science. I've been hanging out on a political forum for the past twenty years, and it used to be that I'd have to go over to the library if I wanted to research some issue like gun control or capital punishment. That's so fifteen minutes ago; if you can't find it with Google, it doesn't exist.
And not just news or political issues. Let's say, for example, that you wanted to find out whether that marijuana joint a day is not only slightly addling your mind and making a bag of Doritos seem like the Holy Grail, but increasing the risk of your getting lung cancer. What you'd do is swing by the National Center for Biotechnology Information database, a search engine which allows you to download thousands of peer-reviewed papers on virtually any subject pertaining to "biomedical and genomic information." In fact, get a box of Oreos, put some Zeppelin on, and kick back and prepare to become informed. Because there's twenty thousand articles on marijuana alone. And you'll be relieved to know that while your habit may make holding a steady job more challenging, you don't have to worry about spending your end days coughing up chunks of your lung. The largest study ever done on the subject, which included people who'd smoked more than 22,000 joints over their lifetime, found that there was no association between Mary Jane and getting lung cancer. In fact, not only is there no indication of correlation between the two, but smoking an occasional doobie might actually have a protective effect. Just think: toking away so you can engage in those pointless hours-long debates about which was the worst rock group of the 1980's will also protect you from the Big C.
So here's the head of the National Institutes of Health, which runs the Biotech Information database, speaking at a dinner last week:
We don't know a lot about the things we wish we did [with respect to marijuana]. I've been asked repeatedly, does regular marijuana smoking, because you inhale deeply, increase your risk of lung cancer? We don't know. Nobody's done that study.
Ethically dishonest
There are a lot of ways to tell when a marriage just isn't working out. You don't talk anymore, you don't share experiences, there's a lack of intimacy, you grow more distant from each other...
Two felony domestic violence cases in three years is also a pretty good indicator.
What's up in the 8th
It's become more common in appeals from guilty pleas to see an assignment of error that the judge failed to inform the defendant of the effect of pleading guilty, and so it is in State v. Williams. I've always had a hard time following this if, as here, the claim is unaccompanied by any reference to the transcript where the defendant expressed some lack of comprehension. I mean, you're pleading guilty. What, you think it means you're going to win a toaster? Williams nonetheless provides one of the two "wins" for defendants this week; the State concedes that Williams' offenses, attempted murder and felonious assault, should have merged. Since the sentences were run concurrently anyway, it's unlikely that Williams will be breaking out the party hats.
A facelift
For the blog, not me. Sorry for the downtime. Below this you'll see the Case Update, and below that the Friday Roundup. (Yes, that's back, and we're back to posting five days a week.) The comment feature now works, too. Glory days.
Case Update
The decline of our civilization accelerated last week with the oral argument in the Supreme Court in Octane Fitness v. Icon Health and Fitness. Not the case itself, which dealt with attorney fees in patent cases; it is extremely unlikely that you will ever see those four words in this blog again. Nor was the defining event a spectator, Noah Newkirk, using the occasion to stand up and protest the Court's 2010 ruling in Citizen's United. Such outbursts, while rare, are not unheard of, the last coming eight years ago when a protester started yelling about Jesus Christ during an argument in an abortion case. No, it was the fact that Newkirk's demonstration was secretly recorded. The Court doesn't even unsecretly record their sessions.
Oh, the humanity! Newkirk got out a couple of sentences before he was trundled off by the gendarmes, to be charged with violating a Federal law banning a "harangue" or using "loud threatening or abusive language" in the Supreme Court building. Good luck with that. Free speech much?

I was born in the Dominican Republic in the city of La Vega. I came to the United States when I was sixteen years old in October of 2010. I went to Newcomers High School and focused on overcoming my first obstacle of many – learning English. I knew even then that if I wanted to see my dreams come true, I would have to fight for it.
In my senior year of high school, I had something new to fight for.
I am currently a student at LaGuardia Community College, and one of my goals is to obtain my nursing degree. My experiences volunteering in the health center at LaGuardia helped to influence my course of study, and after I finish at LaGuardia, I want to transfer to a four year to continue my education.
As a first generation college student, I want to be a role model in society to inspire people to fight for their dreams. I know that America Needs You will guide me to develop new skills and offer me the support I need to get what I want out of life.

At Eclipse Summit Europe, Microsoft announced new solutions that help developers using the Eclipse platform take advantage of the new features in Windows 7 and Window Server 2008 R2, and reinforce Java and PHP interoperability with Windows Azure and Microsoft Silverlight. Microsoft worked with open source companies, Tasktop Technologies Inc. from Canada for Windows 7 and Window Server 2008 R2, and Soyatec from France for Windows Azure and Silverlight, to provide greater choice and opportunities for developers working in heterogeneous computing environments and use a mix of Microsoft and open source technologies. "Enabling customers to better manage their dynamic IT systems is one of today's real market opportunities for developers. Microsoft's goal with these interoperability projects is to further open up this opportunity to the Eclipse ecosystem," said Jean Paoli.

A growing concern among middle-aged adults is whether their hormones are at optimal levels. These hormones are important for how we look, feel and function.
The three primary sex hormones are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Both men and women have all three. The primary sex hormones are responsible for the body functions listed in the chart below.
One form of hormonal imbalance is called estrogen dominance. This means there is a high level of estrogen (even though the actual level may be within normal range) to progesterone (oftentimes quite depleted). Symptoms of this condition include: Fibrocystic breasts, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, increased risk of breast or uterine cancer, cyclical migraines, disturbed sleep, severe PMS symptoms, infertility, and autoimmune conditions.
Estrogen is considered a catabolic hormone, breaking down muscle and other tissues, suppressing immune function, and slowing metabolism. Testosterone is an anabolic hormone, building up our muscle and other tissues, and increasing metabolism. The FDA reports more than four million men suffer from suboptimal testosterone levels! Low testosterone is associated with fatigue, depression, irritability, osteoporosis, decreased libido, and wasting of muscle.
Often, these symptoms are seen as a "normal process" of aging and therefore no assistance is sought out. Some potential causes of hormonal imbalances are: Age, chronic stress, prolonged illness, lack of exercise, poor diet (refined sugars, alcohol, low fiber), prescription medication (birth control, hormone replacement).
Improving estrogen metabolism can be beneficial and can be accomplished with dietary and lifestyle modification. The following are some actions that can be taken to help balance hormone levels:
• Have hormone levels checked with a doctor
• Minimize use of estrogen-containing prescription medications, if possible
• Exercise to assist in burning fat, which converts androgens into estrogens
• Increase cruciferous veggie (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) and lignan (ground flaxseed) intake to assist in "detoxifying" extra estrogens out of body
• Decrease stress levels
• Decrease coffee intake to two cups or less per day
Although people aren't supposed to have the same levels of hormones in their 40s and 50s that they had in their 20s, their hormone levels can be optimized to slow the effects of aging. Being proactive can have many benefits!

text: 000 FXUS63 KDMX 160943 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 343 AM CST Tue Jan 16 2018 .SHORT TERM.../Today through Tonight/ Issued at 338 AM CST Tue Jan 16 2018 The primary concerns through this period will be ongoing current weather relating to temps/wind chills and light precip trends. Iowa is still feeling the effects of the departing long wave trough with low level cyclonic flow wrapping a last surge of moisture into Iowa. Temperatures in this cloud layer will be quite favorable for ice production, but forcing and lift will be negligible so have opted for flurries vs higher PoPs and light snow wording into the morning. Regarding temp and wind chill trends, the low level thermal trough is actually to our south and west at 09z with warmer air beginning to enter Iowa from the north and east. This isn`t helping sensible weather too much however with widespread below zero temps still in place here and wind chills in the 20s to lower 30s below zero as Iowa remains in a decent MSLP gradient between the Lake Michigan low and Dakotas high. The SW section of the warning may be under- performing a bit but is not worth downgrading at this point as it would still be well into advisory criteria and better blends into adjacent office headlines. Thus will leave advisory unchanged through 18z expiration. East and southeast sections may nudge above criteria a few hours before that time, but feel day shift can adjust/cancel as needed versus trying to get too detailed with timing at this point. Outside of the NAM MOS, which is too warm for some reason, other raw and MOS guidance suggest highs today staying in the single digits above zero outside of some 10+ locations east. Lows tonight should be milder with warm advection returning. Lows may dip below zero again north and a few spots could briefly touch advisory criteria but considering where we`ve been and winds will be lighter do not anticipate a headline extension at this time. .LONG TERM.../Wednesday through Monday/ Issued at 338 AM CST Tue Jan 16 2018 Summary...Arctic air begins to get replaced as southerly winds return and boost temps into the 30s to mid 40s by Friday. Dry weather will persist through the remainder of the work week and first half of the weekend. Winter weather increasingly likely to see a return Sunday as a trough ejects out of the SW US. Wednesday through Saturday...Generally a very quiet and much more pleasant period than the previous few days. At the beginning of this window the deep upper level trough across the Midwest will have started its exit eastward, allowing periods of weak ridging and zonal flow to reintroduce WAA/southerly winds. Prior to the warming, Wed morning will remain cold around or just below zero with wind chills in the -10 to -20 deg F range. WAA will begin in earnest aloft, with 900 to 850 mb temps will absolutely soar by the end of the week, approaching 12 to 14 deg C, but unfortunately we will not be tapping into any of it given lack of mixing during these times of the year. One can wish. Surface temps will still be quite pleasant over early in the week though with 30s to mid 40s expected by Friday thanks to sustained SW winds since Wed. Solutions now in good agreement in sliding a compact upper level trough north of the area and across the Great Lakes Thursday. Previous GFS iterations had tendencies to slide said trough further south across Iowa, potentially providing a quick opportunity for precipitation. Sunday through Monday...There exists a growing potential for impactful weather within this window. Models have suggested as much for the last couple of days, but varied significantly in both track and timing. Over the last couple of cycles GFS/Euro have come into fair agreement that a large upper level trough and surface low will move out of the SW US and track through the area late Sun through Mon. Given antecedent surface temperatures above freezing, track uncertainty does raise questions as to how much of any precipitation is rain or snow. It can probably be said that someplace will see an opportunity for winter headlines, just cannot ascertain exactly where yet. Even so, it is a near certainty that winds are underdone. Most likely caused by a Canadian solution bringing down the blended guidance. That may be significant in that they are most underdone in the areas that could receive snow. Void of a large change in track, winds are probably 5 to 10 kts under within a significant portion of the 00z to 18z window Monday. Have avoided making any sweeping changes though given the distance out, but will need to be monitored as an opportunity to improve forecast and messaging over blended guidance. && .AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night/ Issued at 1139 PM CST Mon Jan 15 2018 TAF package remains difficult as spotty clouds wreak havoc on categories. To put it into perspective at 0535z, KIKV had BKN011, where KDSM had SCT014. Would think MVFR to prevail for more than half the predominant groups, so have no TEMPO groups going. Periodic flurries possible at all TAF sites tonight, but these flurries should not reduce vsbys below 3 to 4 SM. Winds should gradually diminish, becoming less than 10 kts by 00z Wed. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Chill Advisory until noon CST today for IAZ027-028-038-039- 049-050-060>062-073>075-083>086-094>097.

Some brake systems use disc brakes in the rear of a vehicle. Most rear disc brake systems contain brake pads, calipers, rotors, and a parking brake assembly. Calipers are responsible for squeezing the brake pads against the rotor, which is mounted to the wheel hub. When you apply pressure to the brakes, the brake pads are hydraulically pressed against the brake disc to create the necessary amount of friction for slowing the turning rotor. A rear disc brake system converts kinetic energy into heat. Most brake rotors incorporate a ventilated design to release heat from the brake system. When the parking brake is applied, a piston is pushed into the brake pad to keep the vehicle from moving. In some systems, a "drum in hat" parking brake assembly uses parking brake shoes to keep the vehicle from moving. Brake systems with rear disc brakes are known to possess strong stopping power in even the worst driving conditions. However, they are still susceptible to the same type of wear and tear as any regularly used brake system.
Braking naturally creates a substantial amount of heat and friction, so rear disc brakes will wear from natural use. Routine rear disc brake inspections can prevent excessive wear from damaging other brake components like calipers and rotors. Completely worn brake pads can cause calipers to squeeze metal on metal, which will damage the rotors. Some disc brake pads have a wear indicator strip that makes a whistling sound to notify you when brake pads need replacements. Sometimes the calipers can stick and keep from retracting all the way, which can cause quicker wear on brake pads. Squealing and grinding noises are the first sign of disc brake issues, but be sure to seek a rear brake repair service for your disc brakes at the first sign of any trouble. Properly working disc brakes are important for your safety and the safety of other drivers on the road.
We proudly service the Rear Disc Brake Repair needs of customers in Kansas City, MO, Independence, MO, Sugar Creek, MO, and surrounding areas.

Many solo travellers have told me this same message – the thing about travelling solo is that often or not, you're never really alone as there will always be people you will meet along the way.
Some people you meet may not leave much of an impression. While, of course, there will be others where you may find yourself walking away thinking you would have been better off if you have had never met them.
And yet, there are also those that will leave such an indelible mark in your heart it'll be difficult to leave them when it's time to say goodbye. I had already spent most of the past three weeks travelling (mostly) solo through Spain, and just on the day before my flight back home, I met one such person, a 60-something year old man – Mr Jose of Segovia.
Visitors to the Alcázar of Segovia, may have met Jose. Perhaps one may have walked passed this man sitting along the stone walls that demarcated the area of the castle during their visit. Many others who have earlier passed through the gates to enter the vicinity of the castle may have probably even spoken to him.
The Alcázar of Segovia
The day I met Jose, I was walking alone, heading towards to the ticketing counter of the castle when I heard this voice calling out from a distance away. I was not even sure whether the person was talking to me, but something prompted me to look around to detect the source of the voice. And there he was, a bearded man dressed in a thick grey fleece jacket, saying something to me I couldn't quite decipher from that distance.
"If you go downhill for about 20 minutes, you'll see a very nice view of the castle," he said as I approached him. He began dishing out more tips on where I could get good views of the castle from down below.
Moving on from talking about the castle, he asked where I was from.
"Ah Singapore. Five million people, no? Together with Malaysia, Indonesia, no?" he questioned.
He had never been to Singapore or Asia for that matter, but somehow knew our population numbers. I whipped out my smartphone and showed him on Google Maps how Singapore was an island and not connected by land to either Malaysia or Indonesia, as he had thought.
We spoke for about five minutes before I proceeded to visit the castle. Just as I walked off, two young travellers who had just finished their tour of the castle, walked towards Jose waving at him, asking whether they could take a photo with him. They too, probably had had a short conversation with him before entering the castle.
I bought my tickets, and just before I stepped into the castle, I turned around and saw that the two girls were long gone. And there Jose was sitting alone next to the stone walls of the castle, looking for the next traveller to pass by his way.
When I emerged from the castle, I saw Jose again, still sitting in the same spot as I had seen him an hour before. This time, he was speaking to two local travellers in Spanish, and once again, was pointing out to the distance down the hill, presumbly telling them about the good views from down below.
I walked towards his direction, and he waved. We spoke for another few minutes, and again, he mentions about the views of the castle from below. "If you have time, you should really go," he advised. I told him I had a train to catch back to Madrid in just two hours and did not think I'd have the time to go downhill.
Struggling to find the English words to say, he offered to give me a lift, if I did not mind, and would even get me back to the train station half an hour before the train departed. Without hesitation, I climbed into the passenger seat of his car – if my intuition was right, this man meant no harm and really just wanted to meet people.
Driving along the roads of Segovia
He drove slowly through the meandering roads of Segovia, occasionally swerving a little when he turned around to try to understand what I was saying. I decided it was best not to open my mouth when he was driving for fear of an accident and simply let him spoke.
View of the Alcázar of Segovia from a grass patch below
We stopped by an open grass patch. I snapped a few photos of the castle from below, like he had recommended. We paused there for sometime, where he continued to share about his life, about how he wished that growing up he could have learnt English better, and how he was interested to know more about Asian culture.
"Doesn't he have a wife or a family perhaps?" This thought entered my mind when he mentioned a former girlfriend. I took a quick glance at his ring finger, and saw no wedding band.
Jose's rickety car
We returned to the car and drove off to the next viewing point. Throughout our conversation, he constantly maintained a smile on his face. But beneath that cheerful appearance, I detected a sense of loneliness and a crave for companionship.
The View of the Alcázar of Segovia and the Segovia Catedral from afar
He told me he sits outside the nearly 1,000-year old castle everyday without fail, watching people pass by, and occasionally stopping some of the visitors to share some tips about the castle with them and at the same time practise his English. He stays till evening time comes along. In summer, he stays a little a longer, he says. And the next day, he repeats this routine over and over again.
Thinking about his routine, I became more certain he simply yearned for company, and I was glad that for those short two hours I was able to be that companion.
It was time to head to the train station. As we approached the station, I ask him for his mailing address so that I could mail him the photo I took of us. He stopped by the road side and scribbled it down on the back of my train ticket for me. "You need to add the "Arranz" at the back," he instructed. "There are loads of "Jose F." in Spain."
The car turned into the train station, and it was time to bid our goodbyes. I thanked him for his time and for willingly taking me to observe views I otherwise would have missed out on, while he thanked me for teaching him more about Singapore and Asia in general.
A "kiss" on the right then left cheek, typical Spanish greeting style, and it was adios for good.
As I walked into the station, a smile crept up onto my face as I thought of the time spent with Jose for those last two hours.
I hadn't realised how alone I actually did feel as I ventured solo through the cobbled-stone streets of the old city of Segovia that very day. And while it was worthwhile having been a complete strangers' companion for that short period of time, even more so, he was in fact my companion on that lonely day of mine.
Jose, you'll be missed.

St Mullins against the odds in Cuala clash but history hints at upset
If you believe in omens then the smart money might be on St Mullins this weekend as they take on Dublin champions Cuala in the Leinster Club SHC semi-final in Netwatch Cullen Park on Sunday.
The Carlow champions are looking to follow in the footsteps of Mount Leinster Rangers who, back in 2013, smashed their glass ceiling and claimed provincial honours for the county for the first time.
It'd get even better. They'd go all the way to the All-Ireland final, before losing out to club hurling royalty in Galway side Portumna on St Patrick's Day. And the parallels between that successful campaign and the one St Mullins are in the midst of just now are uncanny.
Three years ago, Mount Leinster Rangers completed a three-in-a-row of Carlow titles and in the final they dismantled St Mullins to prove that they were the county's best team by a distance. And they'd go on to win an historic provincial title, beating the Westmeath, Dublin and Wexford champions along the way.
St Mullins are on the same path. This year, they showed they were a little ahead of their great rivals. When they met Mount Leinster Rangers in the final this year, they had nine points to spare and in the process they completed their own three-in-a-row.
Now they stand on the same road to Leinster glory that Mount Leinster Rangers faced. In their previous two seasons, they hadn't made any impact in Leinster. In 2014 and 2015, they went down to the Westmeath champions but this year, under the guidance of PJ Delaney, they turned over Raharney in Mullingar a couple of weeks ago.
Now they must face back-to-back Dublin champions Cuala for a spot in the decider. They are long-shot outsiders given Cuala's run to the final last year and the fine form of Dublin footballer Con O'Callaghan, who hit an incredible 4-3 in their last outing against Laois champions Borris-Kilcotton.
But then they are used to fighting against the odds in their part of the world. Nestled in a corner of South Carlow and hemmed in by the Blackstairs Mountains which form the border with Wexford and the Barrow which separates them from Kilkenny, St Mullins is a small, but vibrant, club. And given their neighbours there's little wonder their first and only love is hurling.
One estimate puts around 300 homes in the parish. The pool isn't deep but then almost all of those houses are involved in the club that has allowed them to build a significant indoor astroturf facility.
And perhaps more importantly there's a tradition of hurling. St Mullins are Carlow's most decorated club and former Wexford great Mick Morrissey hails from the parish originally. Work in New Ross saw him line out with the Slaneysiders, with whom he'd win three All-Ireland medals. Liam 'Red Willie' Walsh also hailed from St Mullins and he became the first Carlow man to play for Leinster in the Railway Cup when he lined out alongside the likes of Eddie Keher.
Given there are just six senior clubs in Carlow, they operate in the Kilkenny leagues in order to sample a wider array of competition but they'll face a significant step up in class when Cuala visit this weekend. They are as long as 5/1 to follow Mount Leinster Rangers and reach the provincial final.
But there's many around the club who'll remember the last time they welcomed the Dublin champions to Carlow. Back in 2002, they caused a shock to dump O'Tooles out of the competition.
If you believe in omens.

Read the fine print
I started joining the strips on Counting Pane, so I finally have some pictures that are at least a little interesting to post. You might guess, just from the pictures, that I've finished knitting strips, since to me, that's the logical sequence in making this afghan. But no, I am on the 8th strip right now. But graduation is less than a month away, and I'm beginning to doubt my ability to finish this afghan in time. So I decided I might like to have something besides a bag of strips to show for my labor. So I started sewing.
I have been worried that the squares won't be as well defined as in the original, which used black, rather than gray, for the outlines. I still think I'd have liked black in this role in my afghan, but I can see that the squares will be visible.
The instructions call for picking up and casting off along the side edges, and then sewing the strips together. I am using a fussier method. I picked up stitches on each side, and knit across one of the strips. Then I grafted the two together using "garter stitch kitchener", as I learned while making the garter stitch gloves. The hardest part of this was figuring out how to do the set up rows. Did I want two sets of purl bumps before I started grafting? Purl bumps and a knit row? Somehow, it seems the grafting creates the equivalent of two rows of knitting (a right side and a "wrong" side). So, to make the up and down gray bits the same as the cross-wise ones, I had to experiment a little (well, a lot). I think I've got it now. It's a little uneven, but I think will smooth out with blocking (she says blithely).
Garter stitch kitchener? After setting up the first stitches by pulling the thread through purl-wise, on front needle, slip off first stitch knit-wise, and pull thread through second stitch purl-wise. On back needle, slip knit-wise, pull purl-wise. This makes a knit row first, then a purl row. To make the purl bumps first, reverse all knit and purl instructions.

Question about Canon PIXMA MP150 All-In-One InkJet Printer
Despite following tips on this website and on others, I cannot get the E5 error to go away. I even used mptools to reset the counters on the cartridges. It says it does not recognise the black or colour cartridge - yet the black is a new one (I bought it after the refill black & colour caused this problem), and I don't want to waste €25 on a colour one to have the same problem. I have it set up to only print black. So cannot figure why the E5 will not go away.
Anyone fix this before - any suggestions I have found are no good.

There is no repair other than new OEM ink cartridges. In rare cases there are bent pins on the carriage assembly and the carriage must be replaced. People all over are having problems with generic cartridges, and that's why Canon keeps changing the cartridges.

About 3.6 million sq ft of mall space was added during the period, the report, which was released on Thursday, said. Prominent among the new launches were DLF Mall of India and Garden's Galleria in Noida, Virtuous Retail's VR Mall and ETA Namma Mall in Bangalore, and the Acropolis Mall in Kolkata, it said.
"Retailer demand for store space also remained upbeat across various cities, with prominent global players such as Juicy Couture, Aeropostale, and Carl's Jr, making inroads into the country; while others such as TM Lewin, Johnny Rockets, Nando's, and Burger King continued to expand their retail operations in India," the report said.
CBRE said the country's retail sector saw an aggressive push by food and beverage companies. It said F&B foreign players including Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, and Nando's, as well as local ventures such as Soda Bottle Openerwala, Farzi Cafe, Mamagoto, Paradise Biryani and Chaayos made significant expansion in the first six months of 2015.
The CBRE report also said that rentals in India showed a mixed trend. For example, high streets including Connaught Place in New Delhi, Kammanahalli in Bengaluru, Alwarpet and Anna Nagar in Chennai saw spike in rentals while that in Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad remained under pressure in the first six months of last year.
"Mall clusters in prime markets such as those of south Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon in the NCR, and Central Mumbai and the Western Suburbs in Mumbai saw a hike in rents as international brands preferred such prime shopping areas. On the other hand, retail malls in the suburban markets of Bangalore and Kolkata noted stable rentals," the report said.

How You Can Reap the Wonderful Benefits of Living in Jackson Hole Condos and Making the Most out of Them
Is moving into a new house an immediate concern for you and your family members? Does breathing in fresh air instead of polluted city air appeals to you as a retiree seeking a better place? Since getting another home involves a considerable amount of funds, owning a condominium may be a more feasible option. If you're searching for condos for sale in Wyoming, Jackson Hole provides a varied range of perks you can delight in.
National Parks and Forest Lands. Jackson Hole is a few miles from some of the popular national parks and forests in the country. If you like skiing, you can drive for 18 minutes from your Jackson Hole condo to the Teton Village in the Grand Teton National Park and enjoy the biggest and most popular ski location in Wyoming. If you prefer to go to Old Faithful, simply drive from your Jackson Hole condo for two hours and you're already in Yellowstone National Park. Bridger National Forest is also hardly 2 hours from Jackson Hole.
Convenient Air Service. If you are worried about long drives to the airport, Jackson Hole handles that issue with its own air service facility at the base of the Teton mountain range. Jackson Hole is serviced by direct flights to and from Salt Lake City, Chicago, Denver, and Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Los Angeles. This suggests that you can conveniently plan family reunions or attend to alumni homecoming gatherings in your neighborhood. Families living in Jackson Hole condos prefer to live in the area for its accessibility.
The Art Museums and Galleries. Retirees have the time and resources to check out things they have liked to experience all their lives. If you want to indulge in the arts, Jackson Hole also presents various art galleries and museums for you to go to. Living in a condo Jackson Hole locals recommend enables you discover the Grand Music Festival, National Museum of Wildlife Art, and the Center for the Arts.
Substantial Tax Advantages. Families and retirees prefer to live in condos in Jackson Hole because of the substantial tax benefits the state law presents. In Wyoming, residents do not have to concern themselves with scratching their heads regarding state income, inheritance, or excise taxes like people in other states. Wyoming also has reduced property taxes and no tax on the sale of real estate.
If you're still undecided in terms of transferring residence to Jackson Hole condos, you can go online and look for trusted websites that offer information about the local real estate scene. You can also consult real estate experts specializing in Jackson Hole condominiums.

Wigan have the mental fortitude to cope without key members of their squad in the Super League Grand Final, according to former Warrior Stuart Fielden.
The Warriors will come up against Warrington Wolves - the side they beat in the 2013 showpiece - at Old Trafford on Saturday, aiming to assuage the disappointment of final defeats to St Helens and Leeds Rhinos in the last two years.
Fielden is more than familiar with the big stage, having won Super League on three occasions with Bradford Bulls before helping Wigan to Grand Final glory in 2010.
The Warriors go into Saturday's clash without a number of key personnel, including the likes of Sam and Joel Tomkins, Michael McIlorum and Dom Manfredi.
But Fielden believes his former club are capable of prevailing this weekend and ensuring Warrington's wait for a first win at Old Trafford goes on.
"Experience is always a benefit, particularly Grand Final experience," he told Omnisport.
"Wigan have players that have been to Old Trafford and won, although some will be missing on the day which is a massive blow.
"It would be a massive thing for Wigan winning with five key members out. If anyone has the mindset I think it's them.
"Psychology is a big part of rugby and even more so in finals. Saints [St Helens] lost five on the bounce before their last win.
"You can end any kind of streak in one game. When you are in those tough do or die minutes, that is when it really counts."
Warrington claimed the League Leaders' Shield, finishing a point clear of second-placed Wigan, but it was the Warriors who landed a significant psychological blow in the sides' most recent meeting three weeks ago.
The Warriors were 28-14 behind and a man light following Ben Flower's red card but stormed back, scoring 21 unanswered points in the final 20 minutes to win 35-28.
"It's a shot in the arm for Wigan," added Fielden, who also featured in three losing finals with the Bulls. "To do that against Warrington with a man down has to go down as one of Wigan's best wins in the last 10 years.
"Wigan certainly have the mental capacity to deal with adversity and pressure, which Grand Finals are full of.
"It's a massive thing to win a final. I always found losing was a bigger low than winning was a high.
"Both teams come in on the back of tough convincing wins in the semis. Both are also missing key players, and Wigan are missing bigger key players than Warrington.
"But they can draw on the win coming from behind with a man down as motivation. I'm sure Shaun [Wane, the Warriors head coach] will be using that. It will reinforce Wigan's relentless mindset."

Community-based conservation program of Amazon river turtles with indigenous and communities of Colombia and Peru
Podocnemis sextuberculata. Photo: Andrés Felipe Aponte
Despite the amazing biodiversity of Amazonian fauna, many native populations have been critically reduced towards their extinction over the last decades; this is the case of the three species of Amazon River turtles: the giant South American turtle or arrau turtle (Podocnemis expansa), the yellow spotted river turtle (P. unifilis) and the six tuberculed river turtle (P. sextuberculata). One of the main causes for such reduction has been high utilization levels by indigenous communities for commercialisation and local consumption. These turtles have reproductive periods and nesting beaches well known to the local inhabitants, who profit to extract eggs and nesting females (which can be more than 100 years old). Systematic nests predation and nesting females consumption are perhaps the greatest threats to these species in Amazonia, causing them to be included in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources)
- Threat status
At a global level, P. sextuberculata is listed as Vulnerable (VU; IUCN, ver 2.3, 1996). P. expansa was updated from Lower Risk (LR/CD) to Critically Endangered (CR) and P. unifilis from as Vulnerable (VU) to Endangered (EN) in the 2011 draft by the Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles Specialist Group (Turtle Taxonomy Working Group, 2014). Regionally, P. unifilis and P. expansa are Endangered (EN) in the Colombian Amazonia (Castaño-Mora, 2002), while P. sextuberculata is Data Deficient (DD), but also probably threatened (Castaño-Mora & Medem, 2002). Based on key informants and personal observations in the project area, local populations of the three species have been strongly reduced over the last decades and are reaching critical levels, in particular of P. expansa and P. sextuberculata, due to excessive commercialization of eggs and females in the major ports (Leticia, Tabatinga and Santa Rosa).

A fundamental aspect of this situation are the socio-economic conditions of indigenous communities in the area, who live in their majority in abandonment and poverty, lacking of alternatives different to direct exploitation of natural resources; many fishermen and their families must rely on selling turtles and eggs in the major ports during the nesting season in order to subsist. Therefore, it is necessary to look for ideas and possible standard solutions from a multidisciplinary base, where external organisations can support initiatives and local social and economic needs and vice-versa. These ideas and possible standard solutions have to fulfil sustainability of natural resources as a requirement, based on identification and use of traditional knowledge and seeking a greater cultural, political, economical and ecological recognition of the local communities.
This program was formulated by initiative of the Curuinsi Huasi indigenous association of the Santa Sofia Indigenous Reserve, Colombia. Since 2008, it aims to generate appropriation of river turtle conservation by Colombian and Peruvian indigenous communities that inhabit the area, through empowerment and capacity-building of local conservation groups, specific conservation actions, environmental education and support to conservation-based economic initiatives.
