The cautionary tale will be just across the field from Sam Bradford on Sunday. Like the Rams' Bradford, the 49ers' Alex Smith was chosen first in his N.F.L. draft class and freighted with the enormous financial and emotional investments that franchises make in bright young quarterbacks.
When St. Louis (4-4) plays at San Francisco (2-6), Bradford will illustrate how a rookie quarterback can be nurtured for early success with a rebuilding team. Smith's early promise has been compromised by the 49ers' vicissitude, and he and the team have stagnated. Smith, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, could lose his starting job if Troy Smith plays well in his place.
Bradford's rapid progress does not come as a complete surprise. At the University of Oklahoma he drew lofty comparisons: study habits as voracious as Peyton Manning's, the best pro day workout since Troy Aikman's. Even after shoulder surgery, Bradford's arm was strong. And he had the benefit of sobering advice from Manning.
"The biggest thing I got from him is that you have to understand you're not going to come in and understand everything overnight; you're not going to come in and be perfect Week 1," Bradford said as he prepared to burrow into more film study during the Rams' bye last week.
Manning's rookie season stands as a beacon of hope for quarterbacks who struggle early. He threw 26 touchdown passes and 28 interceptions. That Bradford started his first game reflects a recent shift in N.F.L. philosophy. For years, many teams, even those that were struggling, thought it was better to let even a first-round rookie quarterback sit on the bench so he could absorb the playbook without the pressure to elevate the franchise's fortunes. Philip Rivers became San Diego's starter in his third season, Aaron Rodgers became Green Bay's starter in his fourth, and the Giants' Eli Manning took over in late November of his rookie season.
But Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Baltimore's Joe Flacco started immediately in 2008 and battled for rookie of the year honors. Mark Sanchez of the Jets and Matthew Stafford of Detroit started their season openers last year.Continue reading the main story
"It's about the now and being effective and attempting to be an upper-echelon team as soon as possible," said Thomas Dimitroff, the Falcons' general manager, who drafted Ryan. "I think the 2008 class really helped teams believe you can start young quarterbacks, be mindful about what they can offer, and it's been a very, very good thing for the league."
The care of a rookie quarterback is crucial to his development. Many do not even know the proper way to watch game film. Teams that do the best jobs of building quarterbacks cover everything they will need, including how to lift weights to strengthen their upper bodies while generating power from their legs, how to manage crises with the news media and teammates, and how to behave in the locker room when they are successful. The Falcons, for instance, watched closely to see how Ryan handled himself in training camp as he rose from third string to backup to starter. He was confident, they noted, but did not try to exert his authority too soon.
On the field, the Rams followed a formula used by most of the recent success stories by developing a superb running game: Steven Jackson has rushed for 676 yards in eight games. Dimitroff said that the Falcons did not want Ryan to have to throw 50 times a game and that they did not want him anointed by other players as the only path toward a quick turnaround. So they insulated him with Michael Turner.
But much of the burden still falls on the quarterback to learn what might be an unfamiliar offensive system. Every Tuesday, usually the players' day off, Bradford meets alone with Coach Steve Spagnuolo, a former defensive coordinator, to go over aspects of the opponent's defense gleaned from film study. Bradford is usually the first to arrive and almost certainly the last to leave, Spagnuolo said, and like the most serious quarterbacks, he studies film on Tuesdays.
"I don't think I understood until I got here," Bradford said. "Football is all I do now."
Typically, teams with successful young quarterbacks scale down their playbooks to avoid overwhelming them. After an early spate of turnovers, the Jets devised a color-coded wristband system to help Sanchez last season.
"Let's limit reads, make protections such that we give him a chance to get the ball out," Spagnuolo said, explaining the Rams' mind-set. "When the growth process went quicker than we thought, we started to expand a little. We're at the point where it doesn't get thrown up on the board and someone says, 'The quarterback is too young.' But you have to be careful of having too much confidence in him."
As a rookie in 2005, Alex Smith said, he essentially lived at the San Francisco training center. He needed extra time to adjust from Utah's spread offense to learn the intricacies of the West Coast offense from Mike McCarthy, then the 49ers' offensive coordinator.
"It was such a blur," said Smith, who injured his shoulder in Week 7.
The former quarterback Trent Dilfer, an ESPN analyst, said limiting the playbook for rookies was the only model he had seen work. Smith started every game of 2006, when Norv Turner was his second offensive coordinator in two years, and the 49ers went 4-4 in the second half of the season. Dilfer, Smith's teammate at the time, said that Turner insisted on running only a handful of plays until Smith had mastered them. Then Turner would add a little more. By the middle of that season, Smith said, the offense had become clearer.
"That's why you see guys who have good rookie seasons often have sophomore slumps," Dilfer said. "Because you start to expand the offense. Because coaches say: 'He's got it. We have Peyton Manning; let's go crazy.' And he can do it in the meeting room, and then you're in game, and it's, 'Wait, what's this?' "
Whether or not Smith has the talent to be an elite N.F.L. quarterback, his growth has been slowed by continual upheaval around him. In his sixth season, Smith is working under his sixth offensive coordinator. He has sporadically lost his starting job.
Dilfer has remained close to Smith and laments his situation. Manning has called the same plays the same way for 13 years, providing what Dilfer said is probably a three-dimensional mental picture of each one. Smith, on the other hand, "has had plays called 13 different ways," Dilfer said, adding, "It's just a cluttered, confused mess."
Even someone like Smith, who earned his degree in economics in two years, cannot keep up.
"You're basically pressing erase and starting over," he said of the way the coaching turnover has affected his development. "You're never getting to a level of expertise as quarterback. You should know more about the offense than any coach in the building. When you constantly turn over, no one is reaching an expert level, especially the quarterback but all the guys around you, too. It's like learning a whole new language."
The Rams and Bradford hope to avoid that fate. But in the meantime, as defenses see enough film to adjust to his tendencies, he may have to stave off the frustration and impatience that plagued Smith early on.
"Anyone that is a No. 1 pick is so accustomed to having those plays come so easily," Smith said. "I was so used to making plays, I started to force it. I'd be thinking, 'You should be making plays by this time.' "
Luckily for Bradford and the Rams, he is making them now. With a less-than-stellar receiving corps, he has completed 58.6 percent of his passes, with 11 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. He is the league's third-ranked passer on third down. And the Rams are tied with Seattle for the N.F.C. West lead.
"My mind is still racing," Bradford said. "But compared to Week 1 and when I first got here, things have definitely slowed down."Continue reading the main story

Bo Bice was born in 1975 in Huntsville, Alabama, but moved to England when he was a teenager. Bice grew up in the London area and developed an interest in guitar when he was about fourteen, frequently playing with a number of alternative rock bands in the area before forming his first band. By the mid 1990's, Bo Bice had begun pursuing a full-time career as a musician, performing internationally and establishing a number of bands.
Prior to competing on American Idol, Bo Bice had recorded the albums Ex Gratia (1999) and Recipe for Flavor (2000) with his bands. Although he barely made the age cut-off for the competition (twenty-eight), Bo Bice entered the competition in 2004 as one of the oldest competitors in the show's history. Bice performed extremely well on the show, drawing acclaim for his renditions of such songs as "In a Dream" and "Whipping Post."
After finishing in second place on American Idol, Bo Bice signed to RCA Records and released the song "Inside Your Heaven" in 2005. The song rose to the top of the charts and eventually reached gold status. During this time, Bo Bice also performed at a number of music festivals, including Farm Aid and the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Later in 2005, Bo established SugarMoney, his own band, and released the album The Real Thing, which also rose to the top of the charts. Although Bo Bice did not remain with RCA Records, he formed Sugar Money/StratArt, his own record label, and released See the Light as his sophomore effort. The album featured the singles "I Don't Want to Be," "Inside Your Heaven," "Vehicle," "The Real Thing," "U Make Me Better," "Blades of Glory," and "Witness."
Since that time, Bo Bice has continued to record and perform, including trips to Afghanistan and Kuwait to perform for American troops in 2008, just before launching his own tour in support of See the Light. Bo Bice most recently released his latest album, 3, in 2010.

Authorship and Contributorship
An "author" is generally considered to be someone who has made substantive intellectual contributions to a study. Authorship credit should be based on and meet all the following criteria:
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship, and all those who qualify should be listed as authors. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content.
Manuscript Processing
Upon initial submission of the manuscript, the author is acknowledged of the receipt via e-mail. The manuscript is categorized according to the type of article into Original, Review, Case Report and so forth. Each type of article has a special format and should comply with the updated CJHR Instruction to Authors, which are published in all issues. Normally an article is initially reviewed by one member of the Editorial team to judge the quality of the paper. Articles written in poor English language or not conforming to CJHR guidelines are either rejected or returned to the authors to rectify the shortcomings. Manuscripts deemed proper are forwarded to at least two subject experts to provide their unbiased input. Acceptable manuscripts are checked for data analysis and verification of references before the author is notified about the status of the paper with any suggestions for modifications. Finally accepted articles are forwarded to the printer for typeset and formatting, etc. and the proof is sent to the authors for proof reading, before it is published.
Peer Review Policy
Unbiased, independent, critical assessment is an intrinsic part of all scholarly work, including the scientific process. Peer review is the critical assessment of manuscripts submitted to journals by experts who are not part of the editorial staff, and is, therefore, an important extension of the scientific process. Each article submitted to CJHR for publication is reviewed by at least two senior specialists of the concerned specialty. The "double blind" process is strictly followed and, in certain controversial cases, the opinion of a 3rd reviewer can also be sought.
Conflict of Interest
Conflict of interest exists when as author (or the author's institution), reviewer, or editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influences (bias) his or her actions (such relationship are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties). However, conflicts can also occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion. Increasingly, individual studies receive funding from commercial firms, private foundations, and the government. The conditions of this funding have the potential to bias and otherwise discredit the research.
When authors submit a manuscript, they are required to disclose all financial and personal relationships that might bias their work. To prevent ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist.
It is the discretion of editorial committee of CJHR to resolve any conflict of interest between the author(s) and reviewers. Editors may choose not to consider an article for publication if they feel that the research is biased by the sponsors funding the research project.
Plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and representing them as one's own original work. Within the academia, it is considered academic dishonesty or academic fraud and offenders are subject to academic censure. Plagiarism can be unintentional or intentional, reproducing academic material without appropriate credit to the original authors. Similarly self plagiarism is the re-use of significant, identical or near identical portions of one's own work without citing the original work. This is also known as "Recycling fraud." Worst form of plagiarism is to steal the whole article from some journal and publish it under one's own name in another journal. The Editorial Committee of CJHR will blacklist any author found to be guilty of plagiarism. The name of author(s) committing plagiarism will also be disseminated to editors of other medical journals.
Ethical Issues
Human clinical trials and studies conducted in animals must have been approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). In the absence of such a formal ethics review committee, the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 and/or the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, as adopted and promulgated by the United States National Institutes of Health, must be followed. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. In case of any study involving clinical trial, taking of informed consent of patients is mandatory. Whenever editorial committee of CJHR feels necessary, the research paper will be referred to the ethical committee at the Guilan University of Medical Sciences for its evaluation and approval.
Editorial Committee
The Editorial committee consisting of the Editor- in-Chief, Editorial team with different section editors and the editorial secretaries meet at least twice a month to expedite the business of the journal. The editorial committee follows the guidelines provided by the most international publishers for manuscripts submitted to their journals.
Each editorial is written by one member of the editorial board as solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. The editorial is generally a scientific review on one or two of the current topics pertaining to Health sciences. Preference is given to current health problems and healthcare issues in Islamic Republic of Iran.
Editorial Board
An Editorial Board (advisory board) comprising of members with significant professional experience in different fields of Health sciences helps the Editorial Committee in policy matters when needed. Senior specialists from Iran, as well as professionals from foreign countries are members of the Board.
Image Quality Requirements
Because our journal is published with the National Library of Medicine (Pubmed) , These image requirements are essential
All images MUST be at or above intended display size, with the following image resolutions: Line Art 800 dpi, Combination (Line Art + Halftone) 600 dpi, Halftone 300 dpi. See the Image quality specifications chart for details. Image files also must be cropped as close to the actual image as possible.
What we do not want are 72 dpi web-quality graphics in which colors are not realistic, text is illegible, or images are pixilated. These undesirable qualities are usually caused by applied compression from a jpg or gif format. Although tif and eps files are the most desirable formats for archiving, it is important to stress that the real objective is to obtain the highest quality images available, regardless of format.

Shri Mangeshi Temple, a Must Visit Goan Temple
Shri Mangeshi Temple, History
Shri Mangeshi Temple of Priol, Ponda Taluk of Goa is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Wiki mentions in the history section of this temple that:
This temple had its origins in Kushasthali Cortalim, a village in Saxty (Salcette) which fell to the invading Portuguese in 1543. In the year 1560, when the Portuguese started Christian conversions in Salcete Taluka, the Saraswats of Vatsa Gotra moved the Mangesh Linga from the original site at the Kushasthali or Cortalim on the banks of river Aghanashini (Zuari) to its present location at Mangeshi in Priol village of Atrunja Taluka to be more secure. This village was then ruled by the Hindu kings of Sonde of Antruz Mahal (Ponda).
In 1739 this region too fell in the hands of Portuguese, but by then they had become more tolerant of other religions so they left this temple untouched. The temple was established in Jan-Feb 1561 AD by its Kulavi devotees. The temple was renovated by their descendants in 1744, 1890 and 1973.
Tour of Shri Mangeshi Temple
A modestly sized temple, the hall has seating for 500 devotees at a time. Various rituals are done through out the day. We were not allowed to take pics of interiors, but one purohit was kind to take us around the small shrines in the complex and recited mantras (prayers) for us. A huge courtyard surrounds the temple. There are rooms for weddings and pilgrims. The temple also has a magnificent water tank, which is believed to be the oldest part of the temple.
Best time to visit this temple would be during the main annual festival. The festival "Magh Pournima" is in February (it begins on Magha Shukla Saptami and ends of Magha Poornima). The three day zatra of Shri Mangesh takes place in the lavish temple in the Ponda district. Huge crowds gather to witness this.
This seven storey structure is deepstamba (a lamp tower). The tower isn't tilted, some faulty settings there, sorry for that.
Legend of Shri Mungeshi Temple:
Once Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati were playing dice in their abode at Mount Kailas. Shiva kept losing, and in the last roll of the dice staked his heaven. Having lost that too, he had to leave the Himalayas. He wandered southwards and presently crossed the Sahyadri Mountains and came to Kushasthali, now Cortalim. Here Lopesh, his faithful devotee, entreated him to remain.
Forlorn Parvati, now heartbroken without Shiva, left heaven and went in search of him. In the midst of a dense forest she came face to face with a huge tiger. Shiva had taught her an incantation, "He Girisha mamtrahi" – O Lord of the Mountains protect me – but she was so frightened that she lost her coherence and uttered the jumbled incantation, "Trahi mam Girisha". Shiva, who had assumed the form of a tiger, instantly returned to his normal form. And then at a much relieved Parvati's behest, he added Mam-Girisha to the many appellations he is known by. This is also how the village where the temple is situated came to be eventually known as Mangeshi, an abbreviation of Mam-Girisha.

CAIRNS pharmacists will be administering influenza vaccinations from April 1 as part of a new pilot program to help boost immunisation rates and bring down costs.
The trial, which was recently given the nod by Queensland Health, has angered the Australian Medical Association (AMA) which claims the practice could put patients at risk.
Queensland president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, Professor Lisa Nissen, told the The Cairns Post expressions of interest would be open to Cairns and Far Northern pharmacies within the coming weeks as part of a state-wide program aiming to introduce vaccinations before the start of the 2014 flu season.
She said the society would train selected pharmacists to administer vaccines prior to the April 1 start date.
"The fee for the service in the pilot program will be between $25 and $30,'' she said.
"It's all inclusive, you are getting the consultation, administration and the actual vaccine.''
Would you go to the chemist to get your flu jab? Tell us below.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said that flu shots being offered at a local pharmacy would reduce demand on the health system and boost immunisation rates to 95 per cent.
Australian Medical Association (AMA) president Dr Steve Hambleton he was concerned about patient safety.
"Pharmacies have no proven record that they are safe or appropriate locations for such a private and potentially risky clinical procedure as vaccination,'' he said.
"The AMA believes that general practice is the appropriate location for vaccination, with the procedure conducted by a highly-trained and accredited GP or by an appropriately trained and qualified general practice nurse under the supervision of a GP.''
Queensland president of the Pharmacy Guild, Tim Logan said researchers at James Cook University and Queensland University of Technology were involved in the program.
"Through our collaboration with the universities we will be able to collect the essential evidence to enable us to evaluate the role of pharmacist immunisation services,'' he said.
"This is an academically-designed trial so participants will be targeted to fit certain criteria to ensure the scientific robustness of the analysis of results.''
The Queensland Pharmacist Immunisation Pilot will target people aged over the age of 18 who are not covered by the National Immunisation Program.

It's all about the Bacon – How to make the best bacon
So it's been a while since my last post. Honestly, a lot has shifted since I started this blog almost 7 years ago. Today, I am most passionate about food. I'm a total Foodie and always have been. Lately, I've been playing with Pork Belly, trying to perfect making bacon. Before I hop into the How to's for you to be able to make it yourself, let me give you a little background of my journey with food.
To give you a little background. I was working in restaurants at 15, got my B.A. in hotel restaurant management and went to the Culinary Institute of America, Napa Valley, Ca. To study there you have to already have a degree and they don't offer degrees, they offer continuing education units. You work under Master Chefs. Today, there are only 67 CMC's (Certified Master Chefs) and only 11 CMPC's in the nation.
Yep, its hard as hell and The CMC level is the highest and most demanding level of achievement of all ACF certification levels, granted only after the candidate has passed an intensive 8-day test of culinary skills and knowledge.
I continued after my education to work in hotels as a food and beverage director, then a regional F&B director all the way up to becoming a General Manager working with both the Marriott and Hilton Brands. I left Hospitality about 9 years ago because I had gotten away from what I was most passionate about, FOOD!
I've worked from home for the past 8 years working with an IT Consulting group. It's given me the time to concentrate on what I love, cooking, baking and preparing awesome meals for my family and friends. One of my favorite things to do is smoke meats.
I love smoking Chicken, Brisket, Pork Shoulder and Butt and yes, BACON. I'll save my brisket recipe for another day. Bacon is a universal food, unless your Muslim or a strict Jew. If your Jewish, relax, so am I, however, I don't follow the strict old testament clean vs. unclean eating.
The way to prepare pork belly to make the best bacon
- The first step in creating tasty bacon is getting good pork belly. I go to a local butcher here for it and get a 15-20 pound hog belly with the skin on. It's literally one whole side of a pig.
Once I bring it home, I cut it into manageable cuts. There is sometimes a layer of film on the meat side which you need to cut off to ensure your cure and smoke penetrate the meat. With a 15 pound belly, I usually quarter it leaving 4 2-1/2 to 3-pound slabs.
2. The Second step is preparing your cure. It's pretty simple as I use brown sugar, kosher salt and Prague powder (Sodium Nitrate and salt). Here is where you have to be careful to measure your ingredients. I found that having a scale handy helps you get the mixture right. (Caution: Prague Powder is poisonous and should be handled carefully and never ingested.) This is simply a curing agent that will prevent your meat from spoiling during the low smoking temperature in case your meat doesn't get to temperature in a timely manner.
3. There are 3 ingredients for the mixture that will coat the pork belly and cure it. The amount varies depending on the weight of the pork belly.
- Kosher salt – 0.35 ounces per 1 pound of pork belly
- Brown sugar – 0.25 ounces per 1 pound of pork belly
- Cure #1 (Prague Powder #1) – 1 tsp for every 5 pounds of pork belly
Weigh the pork belly and then, in a separate bowl, measure out the amount of salt, brown sugar and cure needed. Use a fork to make sure that the mixture is well mixed. Set the bowl aside until needed.
If you are smoking more than one pork belly, measure out this mixture separately for each belly. This is very important!
Take the weight of your individual bellys and then use the proper amount of mixture.
Use a fork to sprinkle the cure mixture (kosher salt, brown sugar and cure #1) on the meat side of the belly. Try to cover all of the meat side and make sure to use all the mixture that you measured out, based on the weight of each pork belly.
Slide the pork belly into a freezer bag or food safe vacuum sealer bag. Sliding it in the bag while on butcher paper or parchment paper makes it easier as it prevents the meat from sticking to the bag. Pull the paper out of the bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal it.
4. Once you have them sealed, place them in the fridge for 4 days. Turn them over once a day.
5. After 4-5 days of curing, take them out of the bags and rinse them for a minute each under cold water.
6. Place them back on racks ontop of a pan and put back in fridge for at least 8 hours to dry the meat before smoking.
7. When ready to smoke, I like to use my Big Chief smoker which is low temp and only gets up to 160 degrees if I'm lucky. I like to use Hickory chips for Bacon but you can use whatever flavor you like.
8. I then hang each piece with a hook (I took a hanger and cut it into 4 hangers for the meat. You want to hang them over the smoke in your box making sure they don't touch each other. Cook them until they have an internal temperature of at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. When done, let them cool, wrap them in saran wrap and freeze for 2 hours before slicing. This will make it easier to slice.
10. Enjoy your bacon. Around the holidays I like to dip slices of bacon in chocolate, make little goodie bags and give to my friends. Everyone loves bacon.
I hope you enjoyed this end to end tutorial on how to make bacon.

January 2018 will see a significant change in the entire European payments landscape with the final adoption of PSD2.
Otherwise known as the Second Payment Services Directive, PSD2 is a manifestation of the European Union's mission to open-up payments to new entrants, properly regulate the industry and make sure that it is secure for businesses and consumers alike.
There are two key elements to this Directive:
- It will introduce opportunities for account information service providers (AISPs) and payment initiation service providers (PISPs) who can bring new products to market.
- Merchants won't be able to implement customized fraud prevention tools based on personal risk assessment as two-factor consumer authentication will be mandatory.
What effect, though, will this have on chargebacks? We believe it has considerable potential to make an already costly situation worse.
PISPs allow consumers to make payments direct from bank accounts. It will be welcomed by consumers as it gives more choice and it will be welcomed by merchants as an alternative to card schemes.
Card schemes are, of course, dominated by a few multinationals and opening up the market to more competition should drive down costs and improve service.
However, card schemes themselves offer protection to consumers through chargeback services. As we know, these services are all too often taken advantage of, leading to the friendly fraud that we help fight against.
Yet this should not detract from the fact that chargebacks are an important tool in consumer rights and confidence. What will happen in the case of PISPs? Will smaller entrants have the same scope as large schemes to manage chargebacks and disputes? If not, it is reasonable to assume that merchants and consumers could both suffer.
The other element, the two-factor consumer authentication, is another area of potential concern. The European Banking Authority (EBA) has produced its final draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) and these are now with the European Commission and then European Parliament for approval.
The EBA has said that the RTS should be taken as "law" as they are now for how the mandated "strong consumer authentication" should be implemented. Yet the final RTS will not appear until November 2018, some 11 months after PSD2 has been implemented. There are industry concerns that this gap will cause confusion from merchants and payments providers as to how to properly secure transactions during this period.
Fraudsters thrive on uncertainty and this gap between PSD2 and the final RTS for the security it mandates could be a perfect opportunity for criminals.
PSD2 has the power to transform payments in Europe for the better, making them easier, more cost effective and more secure. However, with any new initiative on this scale, such as the EMV liability shift that took place in October 2015 in the US, there will always be areas where things could possibly go wrong and it is right to point them out.
Finally, it is worth remembering that PSD2 covers one-leg transactions too, i.e. those transactions where only one part of it is in the EU. So merchants across the globe who want to trade with EU member states need to understand the opportunities and risks of PSD2.
If you'd like to understand how PSD2 regulations will impact your business, contact Global Risk Technologies or our subsidiary Chargebacks911 today to create a comprehensive risk mitigation strategy.

Is Zanu PF Toning Down Hardline Stance on West?
May 20, 2014
Ndimyake Mwakalyelye
FILE - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace wave to supporters and guests during celebrations to mark his 90th birthday in Marondera about 80km (50 miles) east of the capital Harare, Feb. 23, 2014. Mugabe turned 90 on February 21. (File Photo)
Zanu-PF's insistence on the full implementation of its controversial indigenization policy, and its hardline stance against the West, appear to be waning, in favor of a more conciliatory call for re-engagement and compromise on black empowerment.
Zimbabwe's threats to kick out foreign-owned companies that don't tow the indeginization line, have turned to assurances - to some - that no such thing will happen. President Robert Mugabe took many by surprise when he declared in his 2014 Independence Day speech, that he would negotiate with companies bringing business to Zimbabwe, and not insist on the 51-49 percent requirement on them.
Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa echoed the same assurance at a recent international conference in Harare, saying government would not take 51 percent of anyone's money, as no one size fits all. At the same conference, Minister Chinamasa also called for an end to confrontation with the West, saying Zimbabwe is ready for new partnerships.
Analysts are pondering the meaning of this change of tone and position. Lecturer Tendai Chari of the University of Venda in South Africa, says Zanu-PF is simply claiming its July election victory.
"I wouldn't characterize it as change as such, as far as indigenization policy, media policies and so forth. I would say perhaps its moderation of those policies, and we know that Zanu-PF won comprehensively and perhaps Zanu-PF is feeling more comfortable in the driving seat in terms of consolidating its power base."
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe.
In line with this, Nkululeko Sibanda of Huddersfield University in the United Kingdom says Zanu-PF is capitalizing on the vacuum of political opposition. With former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai now out of the unity government, and his party fractured by internal conflict, that has potentially turned off western supporters, Sibanda says Zanu-PF is positioning itself.
"Zanu-PF certainly believes that with Morgan Tsvangirai losing his position, there is a vacuum in terms of who the international community can relate to, and they hope they can recapture the position they had before the advent of the MDC," said Sibanda.
But political analyst Brilliant Mhlanga of Hertfordshire University in the United Kingdom, sees this more as reaction by Zanu-PF, to a dose of reality.
"Over the years they have been pursuing the Look East Policy, but it is known that those that they are dealing with in the East, China and India and of course others, are also dealing with the West, so they know that for a fact that they cannot lock out the West, so it's a strategy," said Mhlanga.
Whatever the motivation, analysts say Zanu-PF has little choice but to do something different given the state of the economy and the hardships citizens are subjected to. The challenge, however, remains winning over western countries, who for many years had pushed for regime change in the country, and showed open support for the MDC.
Media studies lecturer Chari says based on media coverage of Zimbabwe, the West is paying close attention.
"The hype and negative reportage has gone down. My understanding is that if you want to understand the policy of westerners, you must check their media as well. There is a correlation between a media agenda and foreign policy agenda, and I think at the moment they have adopted a wait and see kind of approach," said Chari.
Chari, however, says the West, while still holding out on Zanu-PF, is faced with little alternative, but to work with the former liberation party.
"I cannot say they have dropped the regime change agenda but they are studying the situation. They might embrace Zanu-PF completely, depending on how things pan out in the opposition, because quite clearly, the western world is disappointed. I cannot say fed up with the MDC but they are disappointed with the developments in the MDC … but I am not sure if now they are embracing Zanu PF."
Sibanda contends the West has little option but to work with Zanu-PF and President Mugabe, though with caution.
"It is a fact, I know, speaking to a few governments in Europe, believe that they still need to have some form of partnership with Zimbabwe, and therefore since Mugabe is still in power, they may have to find a working position," he said.
Will Zanu PF supporters be part of the re-engagement process? (FIle Photo: Irwin Chifera)
Mhlanga contends the West, despite its apparent anti-Zanu-PF stance, has been engaging Harare, and will likely do so more openly. He says the United States omission of Zimbabwe from the countries invited to meet with President Barack Obama in August, is inconsequential.
"They are talking, we know that America is talking to Zimbabwe, we know that Britain is talking to Zimbabwe, we know that other countries in the West, we've had even Brussels changing its position on Zimbabwe….but don't be surprised that in the next other such big event, Zimbabwe will be invited. And we've seen Zimbabwean ministers coming to Washington, so that wouldn't surprise us."
Aside from winning over the international community, analysts say Zanu-PF is also waking up to the reality that citizens are disgruntled and want to see the party bring change.
"They stand to benefit a lot by polishing their image, and I think they are trying in all spheres of life, especially when you look at the media side. The minister of information is, I think, trying to reach out to the media in a big way, and this perhaps signals the government's intention to mend its relations with the media and also to polish its image, which has been in bad shape for quite some time."
Sibanda warns, whatever Zanu-PF's motivation, it is folly to believe the former liberation party has changed its stripes, adding the party is continually courting citizens for their vote.
"Zanu-PF does need an economy that is improving so as to be able to pay salaries and with the MDC completely out of government to be able to maintain some level of sanity in the supermarkets, but I believe certainly this has nothing to do with the people of Zimbabwe, and I see Zanu-PF changing its position if need be, toward any election."
It remains to be seen whether Zanu-PF's re-engagement and toning down of rhetoric will bring the much-needed foreign investment and pacify the millions failing to make ends meet.

Remote Problems with idrive for Torsion Springs
Hope someone can help me with this one. Yesterday, I went out and the door worked just fine. Later in the day, I tried to open the door, and it would do nothing. The remote light would not work, and the door did nothing from any of either the wall remote, or either of my car homelinks. I took the hand remote to within just a couple of feet from the unit, and it worked. Changed the battery on the wall remote, but it did not help. The Homelink devices in the cars are working properly. I cant get it to receive a signal from anywhere outside of a couple of feet. Any thoughts? I have the iDrive for torsion springs

Whose mouth speaketh vanity
Vain words, lies, flatteries, and deceit, ( Psalms 12:2 ) ; when they speak loftily of themselves, and contemptuously of others; when they deliver out threatenings against some, and make fair promises to others; it is all vanity, and comes to nothing; and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood;
their strength and power to perform what they boast of, threaten, or promise, is fallacious, is mere weakness, and cannot effect anything; or their treaties, contracts, and covenants, they enter into and sign with their right hand, are not kept by them; they act the treacherous and deceitful part. The Latin interpreter of the Arabic version renders it, "their oath is an oath of iniquity"; and Ben Balaam in Aben Ezra, and R. Adnim in Ben Melech, say the word so signifies in the Arabic language; and Schultens F13 has observed the same: but the word in that language signifies the right hand as well as an oath, and need not be restrained to that; it is better to take it in the large sense, as Cocceius F14 does; whether they lifted up the hand to pray, or to swear; or gave it to covenant with, to make contracts and agreements; or stretched it out to work with; it was a right hand of falsehood.
F13 Observat. Philolog. p. 195.

Why Use Urethane Conformal Coating
Polyurethane coatings are amongst one of the most popular choices for conformal coating applications, they are available as single component, two component, UV curable, and water borne systems. As a group, all provide excellent humidity and chemical resistance plus outstanding dielectric properties for extended periods; which make them one of the more popular coatings when it comes to protection of the critical operation of your printed circuit boards (PCBs). Conformal coating circuit boards reduces conductor spacings on PCBs and it will offer superior protection in an aggressive environment as well as protecting the PCB against environmental particulates.

• Customized & Personal Service
Diamond MT is a class 3 operating, fully functional coating operation with over 25 years of field experience. Our areas of expertise are within the military, commercial, bio-medical, and aerospace technology fields.
Urethane Benefits
A main reason conformal coatings are used are to extend the warranties on consumer electronics in the following fields automotive, control drives, fire alarms as well as military/aerospace safety features and long term reliability. The selection of conformal coating material is a crucial factor that needs to be considered carefully and in relation to the application method. The wrong selection can not only affect the long term reliability of the circuit board but can cause massive difficulties with both processing and costs.
The most common standards for conformal coating are IPC A-610 and IPC-CC-830. These standards list indications of good and bad coverage and describe various failure mechanisms such as de-wetting and orange peel.
Conformal coating inspection is a critical factor in determining successful coating application and long term reliability of PCBs. Using the IPC standards allows the coating operator to monitor the coating application performance. This can be done manually by the operator in an inspection booth by examining the PCB under white and UVA light or it can be done automatically by a conformal coating inspection system.

Jobs boost as Shannon finance company adds to its ranks
FINANCIAL services firm Pepper Ireland has announced that it is to add up to 50 new jobs to its Irish operation.
The company, who employ around 300 people nationally and are based on Atlantic Avenue in the Westpark Business Campus in Shannon as well as Hatch Street Upper in Dublin, will split the new positions between the two operations, it confirmed.
Pepper Ireland, an asset manager and provider of third-party loan and advisory services, is looking to recruit graduates and professionals with experience in commercial mortgages and real estate and will add about 25 jobs to its ranks in Shannon.
The recruitment is to get underway immediately, the company said this Monday.
It said its Irish growth - with this being the second jobs announcement by Pepper Ireland in the last 18 months - was being fuelled by "new business wins and ambitious future plans".
"Pepper has pursued very rapid growth since entering the Irish market and on the back of a number of significant new business wins we've been steadily increasing the number of employees in both Shannon and Dublin," said Paul Doddrell, CEO of Pepper Ireland.
"Pepper currently has over €12 billion of assets under management and we have exciting and ambitious plans for business over the next 12 month.
"We have attracted great talent in Ireland to date. We are delighted to be in a position to expand our operations even further and give people the opportunity to be part of an exciting, progressive international company with strong growth prospects and ambitious culture," he added.
The company acquired GE Capital's Irish residential mortgage business in 2012. It is a leading servicer of third-party loan portfolios, asset management and advisory services spanning a range of asset classes including residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, auto finance, unsecured loans and equipment finance.
A number of positions are already being advertised on the company's website, including asset management, legal executive, portfolio management and compliance roles.

With the summer months upon you, the lack of proper air conditioning can make you miserable. This mental state could affect everything from how you interact with the family to the choices you make in your career. Those that are unable to get a night's rest can become irritable and irrational. This can all happen thanks to your central air conditioning unit being inoperable.
Many people are on strict budgets and are barely able to get by. Without the money to put into repairs, the home can become sweltering hot. Sure, you may install fans in the windows or an oscillating unit in the bedroom. However, there is a good chance that you'll wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and unable to get comfortable. Without the upfront cash to pay the repairman, how are you able to get your life back on track?
Your car could be worth more than enough money to get the air conditioning fixed. By getting a title loan, you could have the repairman at your house within days fixing the unit. You can potentially receive quick cash to pay for the repairs while keeping your car in order to get to work the next day. Even an older vehicle could still be worth enough to pay for the repairs of the central air conditioning unit. Of course the amount you'll need is dependent on the extent of the damage.
Lack of sleep can promote everything from minor irritation to strong expressions of frustration and anger. It could also be responsible for hallucinations that may seem very real while you're at work. Why prolong your own suffering because it's simply too hot to become comfortable in your bed? A title car loan may be just the thing you need in order to regain control of your life. Visit 800loanmart.com for more information on how your car can be used to pay for the repairs of your central air conditioning unit. Your home should be a place of comfort for yourself and your family, don't force everyone to suffer through the high temperatures of summer.

Controlling ants can be a challenging issue to self treat. There are over 12,000 species of ants in the US, and different species require differing elimination techniques. House ants, fire ants, and carpenter ants are just a few of the common species you'll see here in Polk County, FL.
Below are some of the common behaviors of ants regardless of their type:
- Points of Entry: Ants need only a very tiny opening to enter your home or business. They seek shelter, food and water. You will often find ants in kitchens, pantries and storerooms - simply because there is always a food source there.
- Trails: Once the ants find a good source of food and water they leave a very distinct trail that can only be seen by other ants.
- Home Sweet Home: Ants are very resourceful when it comes to finding and constructing their living quarters. Many times they choose places around the home - such as in your yard, inside your walls or even under your home.
- Army of Ants: An ant colony can house hundreds of thousands of ants. The ants are very mobile and can pick up and move quickly and easily when they sense danger.
- Life Span: Ants are very hearty insects and can live up to 7 years, with the Queen Ant living as long as 15 years.
If you have an infestation of ants and are trying to control them yourself with store bought products, it will be a never-ending process. You will only be eliminating the ants you can see, leaving the nest totally untouched.
The easiest and most cost-effective solution to an ant infestation is to hire the professionals at County Boy Pest Control. We will identify the type of ant infestation you have, allowing us to choose the proper technique to eliminate the nest, as well as the ants. We will then be able to set up an eco-friendly ant prevention plan to keep you and your house safe year round.

On January 20th, many celebrated the fact that Barack Obama's time in elected office had come to an end. Since then, President Obama has remained fairly quiet, opting to take some time away from Washington as the new administration works to undo his legacy.
Of course, not everyone was happy that Obama was leaving power. In fact, there's a group trying to persuade him to run for office again. Thankfully, the group isn't located in the United States.
From The Hill:
A group of voters in France is urging former President Obama to run in the French presidential election this spring.
"At a time when France is about to vote massively for the extreme right, we can still give a lesson of democracy to the planet by electing a French President, a foreigner," the French website for "OBAMA17" reads, ABC News first reported on Thursday.
The group has reason to be worried. Right-wing politics have been sweeping across Europe. In the UK, the British people voted to leave the European Union shortly after elected a conservative government. In France and Germany, polls show that right-wing parties could be on the verge of stunning victories in this year's elections.
Evidently, progressives in France think Barack Obama is the solution to their problem. Why? Well, because he's so qualified of course:
"[It's] because he has the best resume in the world," the site, which is not connected with Obama, continues.
ABC said OBAMA17 posters have been spotted across Paris, and the group's website has a petition begging Obama to enter the race.
Perhaps the French haven't examined Obama's record close enough if they think he is the most qualified in the world. After all, the French economy is already in decline, a problem President Obama just made worse in the United States. If the French count weak economic growth as a qualification, perhaps he really is the guy for the job. If the French want a president who will destroy their healthcare system, perhaps there's no one more qualified.
Fortunately for the rest of France, French law does not allow a foreign national to run for office:
The group is jockeying for 1 million signatures, even though Obama is not French and France requires its presidential candidates to be natives.
It looks like their dream of an Obama presidency in France will never come true. Although that is sure to disappoint the group, his record here shows they likely dodged a bullet.

EXHUMED have premiered the video for their brand new track Coins Upon The Eyes over at the Bloody Disgusting website. The track is taken from their forthcoming album Necrocracy which is due for release via Relapse Records on August 5th. You can watch the video HERE:
Matt Harvey comments: "Hey mutants, here's a preview cut for you to piss off your neighbors with. 'Coins…" is the opening track from the new record, and sets the tone quite nicely we think. It's another moody, atmospheric exploration of the human psyche in the form of an open-ended tone poem that – wait, what was I talking about?!? Oh yeah, that's right. 'Coins…' is specifically designed to help you want to drink beer, smash some furniture and then drink some more beer. Turn it up and we'll see you all on the road soon."
Necrocracy was recorded at Arcane Digital Recording in Chandler, Arizona with Ryan Butler (Misery Index, Landmind Marathon, Phobia) with drums tracked at Trench Studios in Corona, California with John Haddad (Hirax, Abysmal Dawn, Intronaut). Necrocracy will be available in CD, LP, Deluxe LP and digital formats. The limited edition Necrocracy Party 2013 Political Rally Pack contains a deluxe LP plus a bonus CD with the entire album + five exclusive tracks, a pin set, bumper sticker and poster pack – limited to a one time pressing of 500 copies worldwide.
EXHUMED are currently nearing the end of an extensive European tour, before heading back to the USA where they will tour this autumn with Dying Fetus and Devourment.
Remaining European Tour Dates:
05/07/2013 In Flammen Open Air – Torgau, Germany

Human life is always guided by the presence and fusion of the male and female chromosomes that give birth to some specific genes responsible for various growths of many body organs. Trisomy is a condition that defines the development of the abnormality in the genetic tissues in the human body; it is a condition where there are three copies in the human body instead of the usual two numbers of some particular chromosomes. This condition or rather disorder is among one of the types of abnormal number in chromosomes otherwise known as aneuploidy.
In the world organism always have sexual reproduction and due to this they have pairs of chromosomes in each of their cells whereby one of the chromosomes has the source from each parent. In these organism then gametes are created and that have only one set of chromosomes; the number differ from one species the other. Now if these chromosomes fail to undergo proper separation then they may end up having second copies of their type; entire copy may also be the result of the gametes that undergo fertilization.
Several conditions of trisomy are present in the world of biology and one of them could be partial that means there is only one copy of the part of the chromosome in the surrounding. On the other hand full condition will mean that there is an entire copy of the chromosome. This condition can occur with any of the chromosome although in most cases it may results into a miscarriage. Many mothers in their pregnancy stages are advised to be careful so that they are able to present these cases to the experts as fast as possible otherwise the baby may have very slim chances of surviving it.
Trisomy 21 which also known as down syndrome always have a lot more risk to pregnancies and this tend to lead many into having miscarriages at early stages of their pregnancies. Other cases of this condition are very severe even though they can be seen in many live born infants; these ones are very rare in life and they occur only once in a while. The results of this condition are babies being born with several defects in their bodies that can be seen easily. Mothers must be wary of their conditions so that they are able to have better future for their babies by getting adequate knowledge on their lives.

The Mad Titan has been the talk of the marvel universe ever since he graced the Avengers after credits scene with his menacing grimace of a smile. We all know that Marvel confirmed him for quite a few rolls in the months following his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Between the Avengers 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy. Sadly, we now know that Thanos has been pushed back to The Avengers 3 and Phase 3..
Since Joss Whedon came forward and revealed the next Messiah of Massacre to be none other then Ultron. A robotic menace who's destructive exploits will require the avengers initiative to assemble once more. It seems that the Mad Titan's role in Gaurdians Of The Galaxy would have been the soonest chance to catch a glimpse of our favorite Titan, dead bent on winning the affections of the only one he loves once more. The keeper of his affections being none other then Death itself..
Sadly, it seems he has been left out of yet another movie appearance in Phase 2. I say "it seems", because if you have been following the G.O.T.G. Production. It seems as if Thanos (whom was rumored to be making his phase 2 appearance.) was left out of G.O.T.G., and yet another installation of phase 2.
Warning!!!! Thor: The Dark World Spoilers ahead!!!
As we know, each phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has worked up to an Avengers movie.. We are in the Midst of phase 2, and things are getting interesting. With Iron Man 3 starting things off as usual. Earlier this month, the long awaited Thor:Dark World hit the Box Office, and If you caught the After Credit scene of Thor:Dark World. Then You know Benicio Del Toro appeared as Taneleer Tivan aka The Collector. Taneleer Tivan was seen taking possession of the Red Power gem. Lady Sif, and Volstagg of the Warriors Three revealed upon handing over the power gem, that the Tesseract itself happens to be an Infinity gem, and that it would be most unwise to keep two Infinity Gems in one place. Since the Tesseract is blue in color, it would be none other then the Mind Gem.
With 2 Infinity gems emerging we know that Thanos will be dawning the famous Infinity Gauntlet. The Infinity Gauntlet already made a small appearance in the first Thor movie, one of the Easter eggs seen amongst Odin's treasure trove.. When Thanos takes possession of the Infinity Gauntlet in the comic book series, He becomes the 11th strongest cosmic being in existence. Meaning he can lay waste to nearly anything that stands in his way. If everything goes to plan, Thanos will be the final villain of Phase 3, wielding the Infinity Gauntlet. Most likely, The gauntlet will be his key to winning back the affections of Death. Or It could be the key to courting Death for the first time. Only time will tell. You know how they like to rewrite origin stories..
Now that I've brought you up to speed my dear reader. I would like to move on to the main point of this article. Thanos himself can spawn a series of grade A, quality scripts. His Up Bringing on the planet Titan would be a great Spin-Off. Born to the Royal Family of Titan, a moon orbiting Saturn.. He was only given respect by his peers due to his families Rule over his home world. He was born deformed, these deformities are actually part of a rare birth defect caused by the Deviants Gene. This rare genetic trait may flaw his visage. However, they bestow many abilities, including superior strength, speed, and health, and healing abilities... His mother Sui-San tried killing him on first sight.
Thanos was slowly driven mad with hatred towards his family, and people. He thought of nothing else but Death itself. He would meditate holding nothing else but death in his mind's eye.
Eventually, he over threw his family. Slaughtering everyone that stood in his path. Bringing genocide to the once flourishing moon of Titan. He kept alive only those who would serve as his slaves, pawns in his quest for Intergalactic Control.. The act of genocide that Thanos brought upon his Family, people, And planet ultimately wins death's heart. After manifesting Itself into the form of a woman. Thanos finally worked his way into the good graces of the only thing he had ever loved, He was courting death.
The Mad Titan holds so much potential for Marvel and Hollywood. Between His origin, His love affair with death, The Infinity Gauntlet, And Nearly achieving his goal of universal domination by Capturing Eternity, His sister Infinity, and the Living Tribunal into Heart of the Universe.
The Heart Of The Universe was the ultimate weapon of Thanos. He became so powerful that he actually started a rift in the fabric of time and space. This rift was set to destroy the entire marvel multi-verse.
As the universe lay in a state of self destruction, Thanos came to terms with the fact that he had to sacrifice himself. Either way, He was staring his love right in the face. He could hold onto the power he possessed, bringing down all of existence, including the woman he loved (Death). Or he could swallow his pride, Sacrifice himself, and join his love once more in her own cold embrace. For the first time in his life, Thanos saved the lives of millions. He saved the countless characters, scattered across the Marvel Comics Cosmos...
These are just a few of many details that make up the life of Thanos. With his origin alone, Marvel Cinematic can shell out one hell of a spin off. Thanos could bring so much profit to Marvel, and Disney If he were given the green light for spin off movies. Not to mention the other exploits of the Mad Titan's story, Exploits most worthy of Feature Films.
Well, That wraps up my rant. If you have made it this far, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this in it's entirety. Keep the faith True Believers, And may Death smile upon you all..

Stacey and I both got our amazing new hiking boots for our upcoming trip to Peru, so we decided that part of our preparations for the trip (after having Peruvian food and pisco sours in Springfield) should been breaking our shoes in for our Inca Trail adventure.
Since Stacey came all the way down to Springfield (instead of meeting like we usually do) we went to the beautiful Ha Ha Tonka- less than an hour away.
We started our day off with a picnic at the old castle ruins. It was once a mansion started in 1905, but the man who started it was killed in an car accident the following year. Later that year it was completed and his sons ran it as a hotel, but the mansion burned down only 36 years later.
To be honest, sometimes Stacey and I can be a dangerous travel duo- Stacey isn't the best at directions and I'm not exactly aware all of where I'm going because I'm too busy looking around or talking. So, while we always manage to get things done, it's not always the most efficient way, but it is always an adventure. So, needless to say, Stacey and I didn't "complete" a single hike on this trip, instead we did the majority of 3 or 4 different hikes, but the trails here seem to kinda flow into each other. Regardless we got to see a lot of the beautiful sights of this park- perfect for Stacey's first time here!
Little dock where on the Lake of the Ozarks
Stacey and I goofing around and making hiking look gooood!
Each adventure with this lovely lady is always amazing! I love that I have such an amazing friend to take crazy, awesome adventures with! Can't wait for Peru and hopefully a trip to Asheville before that!

I have created this blog to log my recent artwork and to make it available for viewing. I believe an artist must make their story and process available to the public to develop and evolve. Using mythological and environmental themes, I have found a voice in paint and mixed media, that engages my imagination and passion for nature and the slightly odd curiosity.
