Putin arrives in Brazilian capital city to take part in BRICS summit closing day
Putin, who is on a Latin American tour, has already visited Brasilia for talks with President Dilma Rousseff. On Tuesday, he left Brasilia for Fortaleza to take part in the first day of the BRICS summit.
Later on Wednesday, Putin will round off his Latin American tour. Prior to Brazil, the Russian leader visited Cuba, Nicaragua and Argentina.
In a declaration adopted at the summit in Brazil, BRICS countries call for an all-embracing dialogue in Ukraine, de-escalation of the conflict, self-control for all parties involved and a search for a peaceful settlement. The declaration reads that the BRICS countries express grave concern over the situation in Ukraine and hope for a peaceful settlement in full accordance with the UN Charter and widely recognized human rights and core freedoms.
The Kiev government has been carrying out a military operation in the east of Ukraine since April. It is aimed against the residents of the region who were unhappy with the February coup in Kiev. The operation has already resulted in multiple casualties. Moscow describes the action as punitive and urges Kiev to stop it immediately, reports RIA Novosti agency.
The summit meeting of heads of state of the BRICS countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa ends in the Brazilian capital city Brasilia on Wednesday. The BRICS leaders will arrive in the capital city to meeting in an outreach format along with the leaders of a number of Latin American countries.
Contacts in such a format, which was initiated at the last BRICS summit in South Africa when the BRICS leaders met with leaders of the African Union, were developing successfully, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday. "I think such contacts with the leaders of various regions promote the growth of our association's authority," he noted.
On the first day of the BRICS summit, the leaders - Dilma Rousseff, Vladimir Putin, Narendra Modi, Xi Jinping and Jacob Zuma - worked in the city of Fortaleza, on Brazil's northeastern coast. They had two meetings, in narrow and extended formats, and discussed the most pressing problems over a working breakfast.
The results of the meetings will be committed to paper in final documents - the Fortaleza Declaration and the Fortaleza Action Plan, which will assess the current global political and economic situation and reflect the BRICS countries' common approaches to key issues of international cooperation. Apart from that, the leaders approved a treaty on a BRICS pool of foreign currency reserves and agreement on the Development of a BRICS Bank.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has relayed Russia's initiatives in respect of energy safety for the BRICS countries. The initiatives comprise setting up an energy association, a reserve fuel bank and an institute of energy policy.
Putin said at a BRICS leaders' meeting in expanded format that these steps could consolidate the energy safety of our countries.
The BRICS group of emerging powers launched a $50 billion development bank Tuesday to be based in Shanghai and a $100 billion crisis contingency fund, according to a joint declaration.
The New Development Bank's first president will be from India, according to the declaration released at a summit in Fortaleza, Brazil, AFP reports. The bank will have an initial subscribed capital of 50 billion US dollars followed by an authorized capital of 100 billion US dollars, equally shared among Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa. On Russia's part, the agreement was signed by Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov.
The Contingency Reserve Arrangement will have an initial size of 100 billion US dollars and will help countries avoid "short-term liquidity pressures, promote further BRICS cooperation, strengthen the global financial safety net and complement existing international arrangements."The bank and fund are seen as counterweights to the Western-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund, which BRICS nations say need more reform to give emerging nations more voting rights.
On Tuesday, the head of VEB (the State Corporation "The Bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs" – Vnesheconombank) Vladimir Dmitriyev reported that Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa will send 10 people each who will become the professional backbone of the new bank. Dmitriyev pointed out that it has already been decided to connect the national development banks to the work of the finance ministries of the BRICKS countries in an effort to set up the Development Bank. It is unknown yet who will be at the head of the new bank.
The idea of setting up an international development institution of their own for countries with developing economies was first expressed in BRICS two years ago but the stumbling block was the distribution of capital shares. The new bank will become a symbol of the growing influence of countries with developing economies on the global financial structure traditionally dominated by Europe and the US.
The idea of setting up a bank was put forward by India which thus proposed to upgrade the role of BRICS in world economy and support the developing countries. Capital will be distributed among the participating countries in equal shares. In the first years each country is to deposit 2 billion US dollars. According to Russian Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, the bank will be opened for admitting new participants from the UN but the BRICS share is not to be less than 55%. All decisions will be taken by a special majority providing the support of four out of five BRICKS representatives, or two thirds of the votes. The bank is expected to start working next year if all the participants manage to ratify the documents and provide the required sums in their state budgets. The bank is expected to finance the member-states' infrastructural projects.
The leaders of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries should not seek confrontation with other members of the global community but develop collective approaches toward the resolution of urgent problems, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
"The (BRICS) summit confirmed that BRICS members, while speaking against unilateral actions in the world economy and politics, are not seeking confrontation but propose developing collective approaches toward the resolution of any problems," Lavrov said, reports Itar-Tass.
Today Russian President Vladimir Putin will take part in the summit of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) opening in Fortaleza in the north-east of Brazil, reports TASS.The Russian president will arrive in Fortaleza from the capital Brasilia in the evening local time (at night Moscow time) to immediately take part in a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jingpin and to meet the new Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi who replaced Manmohan Singh in that position in May this year.
The summit is to open in the evening Moscow time. The leaders of the BRICS countries will discuss political issues and global management problems. A number of important economic documents are expected to be signed, such as the establishment of a BRICS development bank and a currency reserves pool. Russian president's aide Yuri Ushakov said that thus "the foundation for a macroeconomic coordination of the five countries will be laid." "The new institutions will allow to consolidate the global financial system, which is especially important on the background of the IMF reform that has hit a dead end," the Kremlin representative said.
Also refer to:
Ushakov said that the BRICS development bank's main office will be in Shanghai.
The BRICS leaders will pay special attention to international issues and regional security problems, including the situation in Syria and Afghanistan, the settlement of the Middle East problems and the crisis in Ukraine. "The leaders of the five countries stand for the settlement of conflicts politically and diplomatically, they reject the policy of sanctions, power games and infringing on countries' sovereignty," the Russian president's aide stressed.
Summarizing the results of the first day of the summit, it is planned to adopt a Fortaleza Declaration and roadmap estimating the current global political and economic situation and reflecting the BRICS countries' common approach to topical issues of international cooperation.
On the second day, 16 July, the summit will be continued in the Brazilian capital Brasilia.

Jaylen Washington | 2017 | Tuscarora (MD)
Jaylen thrived in the open court, where he displayed craftiness and efficiency around the basket. He exhibited the ability to shoot with range from the catch, and communicated effectively on defensive.
Julian Roche | 2017 | Proctor Academy (NH)

Setting and Updating Modern Poverty Thresholds
This research compares median-based thresholds with ones based on the 33rd percentile using Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey (CE) data from 2004 quarter one through 2009 quarter one. Thresholds for reference families are produced using two different approaches: (1) calculating the thresholds based on the expenditure records of reference families composed of two adults with two children; and (2) calculating the thresholds using expenditures from all consumer units participating in the CE, but first converting their expenditures into adult equivalent value using the three-parameter equivalence scale before identifying the median and percentile values. Different updating mechanisms examined include: (1) an annual recalculation of the 33rd percentile of the reference family's outlays on FCSU, and (2) changes in the reference family's median spending or consumption based on needs. Thresholds, based on spending and consumption concepts to value needs for food, clothing, shelter, and utilities (FCSU), are produced.

Interactive Annual Report 2016
Building from the success of IWF's interactive timeline, we were tasked with creating a digital first interactive annual report. This needed to contain all of the key components of previous annual reports to help inform, educate and encourage action whilst allowing users the access to download, share and interact with the report where, when and how comfortably through any device or browser. The report needed to communicate the human element behind the data, bringing the reality of this serious topic to the forefront. Another challenge was finding a solution to the costly and timely process of delivering physical printed reports. With the large amount of content available, it was important to make the report easy-to-navigate, highlighting key facts and digestible information.
We decided to build an interactive report microsite — a first ever for IWF presenting key insights in an engaging and interactive visual format. Striking a balance between insights and high impact imagery, we wanted to lead with the facts whilst presenting the human elements of IWF's work.
We built a responsive site that would offer the flexibility and modularity for users to access and interact with the site across multiple devices and browsers. The user experience has been responsively considered and key insights developed in a modular format to aid comprehension and support sharing key messages across socials.
Engaging features were developed to build a sense of involvement and add a level of hierarchy to IWF's key messaging. This came in the form of Interactive questions testing the user to visually fill in blocks to see their prediction against reality. Notification timers were incorporated at the top of the report to highlight the average time it takes IWF analysts to find a webpage that contains explicit content and remove it. These welcomed features have helped create a well rounded, more immersive solution that previous printed annual report booklets lacked.
The annual report launch event was held at the House of Commons with key funding members in attendance. This included several members travelling from the US, Antigone Davis, the Head of Global Safety at Facebook; Jacqueline Beauchere, Chief Online Safety Officer at Microsoft and Uma Subramanian, Director at Aarambh travelling in from India. iPads were on hand for guests to interact with the report, see the latest findings as well as new initiatives being implemented.
The report was featured on the BBC.
IWF have been delighted with recent analytics, the platform is proving to be sticky with the average session clocking in at 4 mins 15 seconds.

Life aboard ship
"The devil to pay, and no pitch hot!"
Whether sheltered in the forecastle, perched up in the rigging, toiling over the guns or clinging to the yards, the sailors on the Natière ships had to submit to the law of the sea. When their ship was becalmed, they sculpted and polished objects out of bone or wood. Sometimes they beseeched the heavens for a favourable wind. Life aboard ship was lived according to a routine – watches, work, meals – that kept boredom at bay, and that was punctuated with songs, dances and games. Squeezed together below decks, the men lived, ate and slept together, their hammocks hung from the deck beams, and their belongings stowed away in chests. Death was never far away – sailors fell from the rigging, succumbed to fevers or were cut down with blade and gun shot. Two centuries after the Natière ships sank, traces of these men surge up from the past – the fragile remains of a meal, a shoe, dice, a pipe and its holder. Overlooked in official accounts and forgotten by history, they appear to us today, working, singing, praying and dreaming.

When it comes to women's healthcare, Baylor Scott & White – White Rock Lake offers some of the latest technology to provide you quality, convenient health care. Our full-range of gynecology services can address many conditions or concerns.
Whether you need routine care or are considering a surgery or procedure, the physicians on the medical staff are here for you. Several surgeons on the medical staff are trained to use the da Vinci Surgical System®. This technology allows procedures such as hysterectomies and myomectomies to be performed in a minimally invasive way.
Our gynecological staff is committed to providing you with the information you need to enjoy continuing good health.
All surgery presents risk, including da Vinci® Surgery and other minimally invasive procedures. Serious complications may occur in any surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious and life-threatening complications, which may require hospitalization, include injury to tissues or organs; bleeding; infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction or pain. Temporary pain or nerve injury has been linked to the inverted position often used during abdominal and pelvic surgery. Patients should understand that risks of surgery include potential for human error and potential for equipment failure. Risk specific to minimally invasive surgery may include: a longer operative time; the need to convert the procedure to an open approach; or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure to open could mean a longer operative time, long time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Patients who bleed easily, have abnormal blood clotting, are pregnant or morbidly obese are typically not candidates for minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Surgery with Single-Site Instruments. Research suggests that there may be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery. Potential risks include conversion to other surgical techniques and multiple incisions. Patients should talk to their doctors to decide if da Vinci is right for them. The implementation of a da Vinci Surgery program is practice- and hospital-specific. Results will vary.

Patty Hearst is an American newspaper heiress grown up into a New York celebrity. She is the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, who was one of the country's most famous newspaper moguls and New York politician. The 1941 Orson Welles' film, Citizen Kane was based in part on the life of William Randolph Hearst.
Patricia Campbell Hearst was born February 20, 1954 in San Francisco, California, the third of five daughters of Randolph Hearst and Catherine Campbell. Raised primarily in the affluent San Francisco suburb of Hillsborough, Hearst attended Crystal Springs School for Girls in Hillsborough. Later she attended the Santa Catalina School for Girls in Monterey. Rebellion marked her teens, a period that included fights with nuns (she told one nun at her school to "go to hell"), experience with LSD, and a sexual history that began at age 15.
While attending Crystal Springs School for Girls, Hearst met Steven Weed, a math teacher at the school who eventually became her boyfriend and fiancé. Hearst lived with Weed while attending Menlo College and the two moved to Berkeley when Weed received a teaching fellowship at the University of California. Hearst enrolled at Berkeley for her sophomore year and majored in art history. Weed, in his book My Search for Patty Hearst, described their relationship as, "pleasantly routinized with our studies, movies on weekends, laundromat and grocery runs . . .. We were just two people. We were in love and planning to be married."
Hearst was still a college student when a radical political group called the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) kidnapped her in February of 1974. However, instead of a victim, Hearst became a member of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List after joining the SLA and participating in their criminal activities. Hearst was eventually arrested in 1975 and was convicted of bank robbery. Her defense was centered on brainwashing and fears that she would be killed if she did not participate, but a jury found her guilty on both counts.
Since her release from prison, Patty Hearst has led a somewhat normal life. In David Patrick Columbia's New York Social Diary she is described as a lovely, sweet soft-spoken personality, devoted mother (two daughters Lydia and Gillian), sister, daughter and wife. Now, Mrs. Hearst-Shaw lives in New York and Connecticut with her former bodyguard husband, Bernard Shaw and their two daughters. Bernard Shaw is now the head of security for the Hearst Corporation. Patty Hearst-Shaw has developed into somewhat of a celebrity, appearing in movies, television sitcoms, and writing books, including Patty Hearst: Her Own Story. Hearst has appeared in four John Waters movies, "Cry-Baby" (1990), "Serial Mom" (1994), "Pecker" (1998) and "Cecil B. Demented" (2000). She also does charitable work for Alzheimer's and AIDS groups and for Meals on Wheels. Her own account of her experiences was made into a 1988 film, Patty Hearst.
Despite Hearst's attempts to forget her experience with the SLA, in 1999 Hearst was ordered to testify against former SLA fugitive Sara Jane Olson. The prosecution planned to base much of their case on testimony from Hearst. Interviewed by CNN's Larry King, Hearst said that she believed Olson, along with other SLA leaders, "wanted to bring down the country." She also compared the SLA to the bombers of the Oklahoma City Federal Building and the violent 1960s Charles Manson cult.

A high heart rate is associated with the potential for sudden death. Lowering the heart rate can lower the risk of sudden death from heart failure. There is a direct correlation between the amount of Omega 3 fatty acids eaten in fish or fish oil products and a lowering of the heart rate.
A study was conducted in France and Ireland which examined the fish consumption of over nine thousand, seven hundred men between the ages of fifty and fifty nine who had no diagnosed heart disease. The study lasted three years.
The weekly consumption of fish by these men was broken into four categories:
- Men who at fish less than once a week
- Men who ate fish once a week
- Men who ate fish twice a week
- Men who ate fish more than twice a week
- The results were adjusted for various factors including age, physical activity, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, educational level and body mass index.
The finding of the study was that heart rate was lower and remained lower in men who ate more fish per week.
Fish are an excellent source of the Omega 3 fatty acids which are associated with heart health amongst other benefits. Cold water oily fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna are known for their high levels of Omega 3 rich fish oil. These oils accumulate in the bodies of the fish from the natural algae in their environment.
As shown above eating more of these fish can lower the heart rate and improve heart health. Where there is a shortage of fish or there is no desire to increase the weekly consumption of fish Omega 3 rich fish oil capsules are an excellent alternative.
Omega 3 fish oil supplementary capsules are manufactured to be free of pollutants such as heavy metals and mercury. They are manufactured to very high standards and are pure and concentrated.
You can increase your heart health by lowering your heart rate. You can lower your heart rate by eating more fish per week or starting a daily program of Omega 3 fish oil capsules. Omega 3 fish oil capsules are easy to take and a cost effective alternative to fish.

The married man that Fantasia wooed and had a baby by has reportedly left her to reconcile with his estranged wife. According to sources one of the factors motivating Cook to reconcile with his wife was the passing of Antwaun's father on Father Day this year. Fantasia has a son named Dallas with the former T-Mobile store employee. Hopefully Fanny will be able to finally move past this and find the man of her dreams to live happily ever after with.

FOR pet owners, a major concern about embarking on a trip is the time spent away from home without taking their beloved animals.
It is impossible for them to fully enjoy the trip while their companions are left behind, whether with friends or at a pet shop.
Bai Lian, a Shanghai resident with a five-year-old Pomeranian, had to cut her recent vacation to France in half because she was worried about her dog. She had sent her dog to her aunt's home in Shanghai.
"It would be rather excruciating for a dog to be taken on public transport, or a plane. Dogs are not even allowed on trains," she said. "And dogs are not allowed either in many public areas in China, such as hotels, and even parks."
But the situation is improving as many hotels are getting pet-friendlier, with specially designed rooms for customers with pets and public facilities for pets to enjoy.
Shanghai Daily surveyed several pet-friendly hotels in Shanghai and neighboring travel destinations for pet owners. A telephone consultation is recommended as the hotel policies vary for accommodation of pets.
Hyatt Regency Chongming
Sitting in the east of the ecological Chongming Island, the resort provides a natural frolicking land for pets, with a prime location close to Dongtan Wetland Park, Dongping National Forest Park and Xisha Wetland Park.
The hotel boasts 25 rooms for dogs, with an outdoor garden. Canine facilities in the room include a dog house and sleeping pads, dog food and other care products. A dog license and vaccination certificate are required for check-in. Each dog will get a bone-shaped ID along with the room card. A dog-only meadow is set aside for canines to run loose and burn off energy. Dog toilets are scattered around the hotel with litter bags to collect droppings. However, dogs are not allowed in other public areas such as restaurants and gyms. Dog food and water will be sent to the room every day. Hygiene is guaranteed as each pet room will be thoroughly sterilized before new customers check in. At the moment the pet rooms are available only for small and medium-sized dogs no heavier than 30 kilograms, and only one dog is allowed per room. Female dogs that are pregnant or in their full rut are not allowed. The cleaning fee is included in the room rate.
Address: Lane 799, Lanhai Rd, Chenjia Town, Chongming Island, Shanghai
Tel: (021) 6703-1234
Pudi Boutique Hotel in Shanghai
It is an art deco hotel hidden in a tranquil lane in the former French concession area. Fuxing Park and Xintiandi, the entertainment and nightlife destination, are within easy walking distance. Three of its 52 rooms are allowed for two pets at most, either dog or cat. Reservations are highly recommended at least two days before you check in. Pets in all sizes are welcome as long as you can keep them well-behaved, but small and medium-sized ones are preferred. Paper documents or certificates are required upon check-in. While you sleep on the bed, your pets can take a cozy nap on the carpet or cushions alongside.
The hotel does not provide any pet food or facilities, so customers have to prepare all care products, sleeping pads and food. Pets are not allowed in public areas inside the hotel but customers can walk their pets outside. All three pet-friendly rooms will be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized after the last stay. The hotel charges an additional cleaning fee of 345 yuan for each pet for a single night stay per room.
Address: 99 Yandang Rd, Shanghai
Tel: (021) 5101-6060, 5158-5888
Radisson Blu Hotel Pudong Century Park
Close to Century Park in the Pudong New Area, the hotel occupies a convenient location.
A copy of rabies vaccination certificate is required for a stay with your pets at this modern, stylish hotel, with a large outdoor swimming pool and a mini golf course. Customers must sign an agreement regarding possible damage caused by pets. A cleaning fee of 200 yuan plus 15 percent service charge will be added for each pet per night stay. The hotel allows only small pets and customers must carry pets in cages provided while taking them around in public areas. Taking a jog in Century Park with your dog will surely be a refreshing start for an intensive day.
Address: 1199 Yingchun Rd, Shanghai
Tel: (021) 5130-0000
Doubletree by Hilton ResortWuxi Lingshan
A sanctuary from the chaos alongside the vast Taihu Lake in Wuxi, Doubletree by Hilton Resort Wuxi Lingshan is among the first five-star hotels to allow pets in China. But dogs must be no heavier than 35 kilograms. Just 11 of the 447 guest rooms and suites, including some lakeside ones, are allowed for pets. A maximum of two dogs for each room are allowed. A special area for dogs is set aside in each room, and dog shampoo, dog food and sleeping cushions are provided. No paper document or agreement needs to be signed before check-in. A cleaning fee of 220 yuan will be charged for each dog, no matter how long the stay.
Dogs are not allowed in public areas inside the hotel, but there is enough space in between the four hotel villas for the dogs to burn off their energy. Walk around at the lakeside and enjoy the sunshine while your dog runs loose on the lawn.
Address: 99 Qili Fengguang, Wuxi Taihu National Tourism Resort, Jiangsu Province
Tel: (0510) 8535-5000
Oakwood Residence Hangzhou
The homey design and adequate facilities of the service apartments of Oakwood Residence Hangzhou makes the stay relaxed and comfortable. What's more, your pets are allowed by your side, too. You must sign an agreement at the reception and pay a one-time cleaning fee of 300 yuan. All kinds of small-sized pets are welcomed in the 166 guest rooms and suites, but they are not allowed in public areas.

Contenders line up as 200mn-euro, "golden" contract is up for grabs for Astir Vouliagmeni
- μέγεθος γραμματοσειράς μείωση του μεγέθους γραμματοσειράς αύξηση μεγέθους γραμματοσειράς
- Εκτύπωση
The biggest, private construction project is about to start. The restoration of the historic "Astir Vouliagmeni" will cover an area of almost 75 acres along with 3 hotels: "Nausika", "Arion" and "Aphrodite" (which is not operational at the moment). The overall cost is estimated to be roughly 200mn euros.
The tender will be carried out by EGC Equity Partners, which is the also the current proprietor. The contract is expected to attract all major construction conglomerates of the country, with a specific company having a rumored head start, due its increased experience and focus on hotel-related projects.
The construction standards of the new buildings will be particularly strict regarding their construction quality and their environmental impact following the related international trends set by luxurious touristic facilities. The race against the clock will be also a challenge as the property must become operational in just 12 months (April 2018), so it can be available for the touristic high season, next year.
Renovation works include, among others, extensive refurbishments, demolitions of existing structures, the erection of 13 super-lux residences by the sea, the construction of an international standards marina, the protection and promotion of the archaeological site and the increase of green spaces in the property by 25.000 m2.
After the completion of Nausika Hotel's restoration, it will feature 132 rooms, 22 suites, a completely renovated interior and a bar-restaurant with a capacity of 140 people, by the pool.
Arion Hotel will be offering 122 rooms, 20 of which will be suites. Again, there will be brand new interiors, high-standard conference room and events hall, state-of-the-art spa facilities along with fully renovated outdoor spaces and a pool.

Opinion: Are LDS Blu-rays Worth Your Time?
Religious undertones are present in many films today but some are solely focused on that genre such as the Fireproof series and other titles such as Courageous have graced the Blu-ray format in the past few years. Amongst those films, several LDS (Mormon) filmmakers have also entered the fray. Are these Blus worth your time?

And there was evening and there was morning, one day. 6 And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7 And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9 And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so.

The latest homeless count in the Vernon area has determined there are at least 75 people with no place to call home.
Their count determined there were 21 people sleeping outside, Howard House as well as Gateway by were basically full, with over a dozen on the men's floor and 11 of 12 spaces occupied on the women's floor.
A half a dozen were sleeping on extreme weather beds still open in the Gateway basement.
Kelly Fehr, from the John Howard Society told KISS-FM News, that number is partially reflective by the lack of affordable housing in the area.
He mentioned that some of the problem could be addressed by the private sector and the Government stepping up to the plate somewhat with regards to the lack of affordable housing.
They are appreciative of BC Housing for their continued support of local agencies dealing with this issue and applaud their positive response over the past 2 years.
Their plan is to continue as they do. "Their Outreach Team goes out once a week to connect with campers that are out there, along with individuals who are living rough."
"Also to provide the support from the referrals that they can to the people who are willing or able to receive them."

Patchouli Essential Oil (
Pogostemon cablin
), sometimes called "the scent of the sixties," has a musky, earthy, exotic aroma. In Eastern cultures, it is commonly used around the house to provide general support for health and to help release negative emotions. Patchouli essential oil is very beneficial for the skin, helping to reduce a wrinkled or chapped appearance. Patchouli is a general tonic that supports the digestive system and soothes occasional queasiness.* Patchouli has an approximate ORAC of 494,271 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter.
Historical Data:
The leaves of patchouli were placed between Indian cashmere shawls en route to Victorian England, so as to protect the merchandise from moths. In fact, these shawls were not sold in England without the signature smell of dried patchouli leaves. These were used in the East as a part of potpourris and sachets, along with being placed between linen in order to keep bedbugs away. The Indian ink derives its characteristic smell with the mix of patchouli oil and camphor oil.
Key Constituents:
Patchoulol — 25-35%
Alpha-Bulnesene — 14-20%
Alpha-Guaiene + Seychellene — 15-25%
Alpha-Patchoulene — 5-9%
Fragrant Influence:
Patchouli essential oil promotes relaxation, clarifies thoughts allowing the discarding of jealousies, obsessions and insecurities.
Wellness Solutions:
Patchouli can be used for hypertension, skin conditions such as eczema and acne, fluid retnetion, listeria infection, relaxant, digestive aid to combat nausea, relieves itching. Patchouli protects the wounds and ulcers from infections and from being septic. Patchouli also promotes growth by helping generation of new body cells which helps in production of red blood cells. It was seen mainly helpful in regeneration of new skin cells, thus keeping the skin healthy, young and vibrant.

Saturday is the first day of summer, and two bands featuring Dana Hills High School alumni are celebrating with a "Locals Take-Over" concert for all ages at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano.
The affinity between the two bands, thatwasthen and Wake the Street, began more than a decade ago at Niguel Hills Middle School, where Derek Bonanni, Nick Papageorge and Chris Bridge first became friends.
They went on to be involved in theater at Dana Hills High School, with Papageorge and Bridge performing onstage and Bonanni working behind the scenes as a sound engineer.
The three friends graduated in 2007, after which Bonanni and Bridge headed to Cal State Fullerton. Papageorge became a UCLA Bruin.
While in college, Papageorge and Bridge became members of thatwasthen, joining fellow Dana Hills alumni Brenton Sinay and Nathan Longdon, who originally formed the band in 2005 as a guitar duo.
Even though the musicians now are spread throughout Southern California, with Longdon residing in Dana Point, Bridge in Laguna Beach and Sinay and Papageorge in Los Angeles, the Dana Hills alumni remain united by their passion for music and commitment to keeping the band alive. They rehearse at least once a week at a studio in Culver City.
"No matter what, you have to commit the time to make it work," Longdon said. "That's how our band has survived over the years and transformed into what it is now."
In 2009, Bonanni, who plays bass, started Wake the Street with singer Alex McCracken and guitarist Anthony Cavallo.
Bonanni and McCracken were classmates at Dana Hills, even graduating the same year, but it wasn't until their college years that they became friends and decided to form the band.
"Alex (McCracken) was looking to start a band, so a mutual friend introduced us, we got a couple of other guys together, and now we're all best friends playing music together," Bonanni said.
Wake the Street and thatwasthen first performed together four years ago at the Coach House in a concert Bonanni organized.
"We had such a good time that night," Bonanni said. "Our two bands just clicked, and we discovered that we love playing music together."
Since then, the bands have shared the Coach House's stage twice more, as well as at Chain Reaction and the House of Blues in Anaheim.
They're excited to join forces once again Saturday night. It will be their sixth joint performance, which also will feature Orange County-based bands Bent Jetty and Hey Jyosh.
"South Orange County is where we all began, so we're excited for this opportunity to come back to our hometown and share our new music with old friends," said Longdon.

Cure skin cancer with rasberries - For Order Revitol Skin Brightner
Buy Revitol Skin Brightner Cure skin cancer with rasberries -
Your skin is your largest organ responsible for protecting your body from a variety of outside forces, but it is also the most visible part of you, and is susceptible to environmental, physical and hormonal conditions which can make your skin tone appear blotchy and uneven.
You may want to use non-toxic, natural products on your skin to keep it healthy and vibrant, but there are lots of choices out there how can you be sure which one is best for your skin?
Revitol Skin Brightener Cream uses safe, plant-based ingredients to help reduce the appearance of freckles, liver-spots, and uneven pigmentation areas while keeping your skin soft and supple with natural emollients, moisturizers and skin-nourishing vitamins. It's a great way to lighten and brighten the appearance of those trouble spots safely with nature's finest ingredients.
Contains no mercury or other harmful ingrdedients
The active ingredients in Revitol Skin Brightener Cream lighten the appearance of skin and promote a healthy, balanced-looking complexion. We use natural ingredients such as:
- Arbutin: Extracted from the bearberry plant, and also found in wheat and pear skins, Arbutin helps reduce the appearance of dark areas.
- Lumiskin: Also known as Diacetyl Boldine, inhibits Tryosinase to help lighten the appearance of the skin and promote more evenlooking skin tone.
- Shea Butter: Derived from the nut of the Karite Nut tree (mangifolia), Shea butter has been used by African women for centuries for both cooking and for its healing properties in skin care. It contains natural sun protectants and emollients, and is used in many moisturizers, soaps and skin creams to firm and tighten skin.
- Evening Primrose Oil: Used as a food and natural medicine throughout history, Primrose is effective in skin care to help alleviate dry skin.
- Allantoin: A botanical extract of the comfrey plant, Allantoin is a natural-identical, non-toxic moisturizer that promotes the health of the outer dermal layer.
- Grapefruit Seed Extract: Used as a preservative, this extract is a natural antioxidant.
- Vitamins A, C and E: Because it has a fundamental role in the control of normal skin cell activity, Vitamin A is very important to healthy skin, and adding the antioxidant vitamins C and E gives this important skin nutrient extra support (for a complete list of ingredients, view our ingredients page).

and lots of other great ingredients, so I figured this time I'd be safe, and I
was. Plus my skin is lighter and so pretty and healthy-looking! I never looked
this good before!
H.M., New York, NY

which is a natural ingredient, I figured it was time to go for it. I'm so glad I
did! I got just what I wanted, with absolutely beautiful skin!"
B.V., Little Rock, AR

anything about it because I heard that a lot of products have ingredients that
can make your skin worse than before. When I saw that Revitol Skin Brightener
uses natural ingredients, I decided to take a chance. Now, after just a few
weeks, my skin appears lighter, and it looks wonderful!"

Latest Additions to Hot Button Series Prepare Parents to Discuss Difficult Topics
Nicole O'Dell helps address the Hot Buttons in teens' lives before the issues become problems
Seattle: All parents were teenagers once, but with each generation there are new challenges that teens face, at least in a different way than their parents did. This has never been truer than today with the influences of social networking and a constant connection to the internet and media. It's more important than ever for parents to be proactive in talking to their teens about hot-button issues such as the internet, dating, sexuality and drugs. As a resource to help parents have those difficult conversations with their children, Nicole O'Dell, author and popular radio host, has launched an innovative, proactive strategy parents can use to prepare their teens for difficult decisions with the release of the Hot Buttons book series.
What exactly is a hot-button issue? A hot button is any emotional or controversial issue that has the potential to trigger intense reaction. What topics fit in this category? "Pretty much everything that pummels your kids with temptation and threatens to pull them away from a walk with God. Music, dating, computer use, texting, partying, drugs, the list goes on and on," says O'Dell. "These issues are real and often confusing. They require attention-before they arise-and ignoring them can have dire consequences."
This summer, the Hot Button series debuted with the release Internet Edition and Dating Edition to be followed with the October releases of the Drug and Sexuality editions. Each book begins with a real look at the temptations and situations that teens are faced with, including current statistics. O'Dell outlines questions for parents to ask themselves before launching into a discussion as well as advice on how to approach their teens to begin conversations. Speaking from experience, she gives parents do's and don'ts guidelines on what questions to ask and how to react.
The most unique and practical aspect of each Hot Button book is the strategic scenarios-short stories that allow parents to introduce certain challenges to their teens in a creative "what would you do?" question and answer format. Each Hot Button scenario is followed by three or four choices from which the teen can choose to resolve the situation. Parents are then encouraged to help their children explore, ask questions, and discuss the options so when the scenarios come up in real life, teens are prepared with their response.
O'Dell was inspired to start the series when looking for ways to talk to her own children. "I was searching for ways to lead my children to make good decisions. I decided it would be far better to talk to them proactively about issues they would one day face than it would be to wait until they were buried under poor choices," she writes. "I believed it would be easier to control the way they perceived the information and far easier to help them see and understand the consequences of poor decisions if they could look at it objectively, without the added stress of peer pressure and other outside influences."
These first four editions are just a start to the Hot Buttons series. Upcoming releases in 2013 will include books on Bullying and Image. Plans for an interactive app are also in development. The series has recently received the Focus on the Family seal of approval.
Readers can get updates on the series, interact with Nicole O'Dell and more by visiting the Hot Buttons Facebook Page, following Hot Buttons on Twitter, or visiting www.hotbuttonsite.com.
Parents and teens can join O'Dell for a special online live chat on October 17 (more details will be available soon).
Hot Buttons Dating Edition offers practical real-life situations that parents can read and discuss with their preteens. Topics include: physical activity, missionary dating, and violence/abuse in dating relationships. 978-0-8254-4240-7 (June 2012)
Hot Buttons Internet Edition helps parents prepare their teens for online challenges they may face. Topics discussed include: internet activity, file sharing, social networking, and internet predators.
978-0-8254-4239-1 (June 2012)
Hot Buttons Drug Edition braves the scary world of substance abuse, equipping parents with facts, warning signs, and real-world scenarios on: alcohol; Marijuana and other drugs; inhalants; and prescription drugs. 978-0-8254-4241-4 (October 2012)
Hot Buttons Sexuality Edition offers the facts about teen sexuality, backed by statistics; specifics for how to talk frankly about sex with your kids, discussion about the growth of homosexuality and bisexuality among teens; and compassionate advice for guiding your teen to reclaim purity.
978-0-8254-4242-1 (October 2012)
$9.99/ 168 pages each / 2-color interior / paperback
Advance Praise
"Nicole O'Dell has created something that is-in my opinion-revolutionary in helping parents of teens. The idea of creating scenarios prior to issues arising and then coming alongside our teens to help them navigate those scenarios is going to help me a ton! My only regret is that I didn't read this [series] sooner! If you are a parent, pick this book up. It will make you think differently about how you communicate with your kids!"
~ Marybeth Whalen, Proverbs 31 Ministries writer and speaker, author of The Mailbox and She Makes It Look Easy
"This series is the answer to the cry of my heart. It's wise, it's tactical, and it's preemptive. Among the huge selection of parenting books on my shelf, I've never had another one give me tingles and make me shout, 'Yes! This is it!' I feel empowered and inspired as a parent and have already implemented the strategies this series teaches."
~ Jill Williamson, Christy Award-winning author of By Darkness Hid and the Blood of Kings trilogy
"Nicole O'Dell is back with a fresh series to help tweens and teens make godly choices. As a mom who works with tweens, I know just how girl/boy-crazy this generation is. I'm thrilled to have another tool in my arsenal! I can't wait to read this book with my daughter and use it to help us have key discussions about a critical issue to all teens: dating."
~ Cara C. Putman, multi-published author of Stars in the Night and A Wedding Transpires on Mackinac Island
"Talented author Nicole O'Dell has created a [series] that is a must-have for every family. Her fresh insight and voice of experience will speak to tweens/teens and parents alike."
~ Jenny B. Jones, award-winning author of the A Charmed Life series and the Katie Parker Production series
"I wish I'd had Nicole O'Dell's Hot Buttons Drug Edition when I was raising children. It might have saved me a lot of heartache later. Bad choices can destroy a child's life, but preparation can protect a child from destructive mistakes. This book teaches parents how to prepare their children in practical ways. A must-read for every parent!"
~ Terri Blackstock, author of Intervention, Vicious Cycle, and Downfall
"Nicole O'Dell "gets" teens, and in Hot Buttons: Sexuality Edition, she helps quaking parents realize you can have confidence to "power your kids" through the sex quagmire! She deals openly, honestly, and vividly with the culture that our kids face, but reminds us that it's not inevitable our kids will succumb. On the contrary, Nicole shows how when we expect the best, equip them practically, and engage them honestly, our kids will thrive."
~ Sheila Wray Gregoire, author of The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and Honey, I Don't Have a Headache Tonight

Suggested interview questions
* You are a mom of six. Did the idea for the Hot Buttons series come from your own experiences in talking to your children?
* How did you become involved in youth ministry and guiding teens to make the right decisions?
* How do you decide the right age to discuss these hot buttons with your child? Should you talk about all of these issues about the same time, or do some come earlier than others?
* What is an appropriate age for teens to start dating? Are there any variables to be considered?
* How early do parents need to be talking to their children about sexuality?
* What signs should parents watch for if they suspect their teen of using drugs?
* How closely should parents monitor their children's online activities? What are some of the things parents can do to keep their children safe?
* Honestly, if parents don't talk to their teens about the difficult topics such as dating and sex, where do they expect their teens to get information in order to make good decisions?
* You write that parents have forgotten that they have veto power over their teens activities and relationships, or at least they don't use it. Why do you think parents no longer seem to rule the house the way they did in generations past? (OR) What happened in our society to make teens believe they didn't need their parents' approval or permission for certain activities or friendships?
* What are some of the most disturbing facts about teens that parents should be aware of?

Front USB access, power switch and reset buttons are located behind the front door, near the bottom. Cable management guides are part of the case casting. Once the front and rear doors are closed, no cable connectors are visible. Instead, you route the cables through the cable guides, which are cast at the top and bottom of the case, both front and rear.
Drives are mounted into cages near the front of the case. The cages are firmly connected to the side of the case, which minimizes drive vibration and assists in heat transfer.
The Rage F-50 truly lacks any form of cooling fans. Instead, the CPU, north bridge and graphics card all have passive coolers attached. Heat pipes transfer heat from the passive coolers to thermal transfer units attached to the side of the case.
Booting up the F-50 is an eerie experience the first time, but it grows on you quickly. All you hear is the chatter of the hard drives. When the rather substantial front and rear doors are closed, even that sound is minimized. The only time it became "loud" — and we're talking relative terms here — is when we defragged the RAID 0 array.
Actually running applications on this PC is also unnerving at first. We've all come to expect our PCs to make noise when they're running. You keep wanting to check to make sure it's running properly, because you can't hear it. To date, the quietest standard desktop PC we've seen to date have been Dell 4600 and 8300 minitower PCs, but even those make some sound. Heck, the F-50 is quieter than your average laptop.
So now we've established that the Rage F-50 makes no noise, aside from a bit of hard drive clatter. But we've seen VIA C3-based PCs that are fanless and quiet. You wouldn't call those high performance systems, though. What's inside the box?

I watched this with a friend who was seeing The Big Bang Theory for the first time and needless to say the show did not garner a new viewer. Maybe it's because I just saw a pot-infused episode of One Tree Hill, or that I watch reruns of That 70's Show regularly, but I was just not impressed with Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady's attempt to capture the feeling of getting high in tonight's installment. The scenes just felt forced, contrived and were just not funny.
The Sheldon and Penny scenes were a little better, but still retained the awkwardness that played the Leonard, Raj and Howard scenes, and not in a good way.
Outside of Sheldon filling out the form at the hospital, very little to laugh at here.
