|A resilient woman understands that any trial coming her way - in spite of the fear and sadness it may trigger - can be managed with integrity and strength. She knows she will feel joy and serenity again. - CC
This memorial website was created to honor our precious Cathy ("Catita"), beautiful and beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, friend. Like the characters from her favorite movie, "The Wizard of Oz", Cathy possessed a brilliant mind, a loving and generous heart, and courage that was beyond comprehension. She also knew that "there's no place like home", and created a home for her family that was filled with beauty, warmth, compassion, intelligence, and a welcoming love for all who visited Casa Cherbosque.
Besides her lifelong passion for the Beatles, literature, and her family, she excelled in the hallowed halls of academia, earning three master's degrees and one Ph.D. But what defined her most at the end was her positive attitude, determination, and great spirit for living, which have been such an inspiration to those whose lives she touched. As she loved greatly, she was greatly loved in return.
Cathy is survived by her devoted, adoring family: husband Jorge, daughters Carina and Tiana, dogs Lovey & Louie, her mother & father Sandy & Chet, sister Deena, brother Jeff, sisters-in-law Bonnie and Lea, brother-in-law Pepe, Aunt Bobby, cousins Sasha, David I., David B., Jason, Tony, Gina, Jae, nieces Dezla, Skye, Daniela, and nephews Josh, Ariel, Alex and Jorge.
The abundance of love and support we have received from those that knew and loved Cathy has been a tremendous blessing, one that is helping us begin to heal our sorrow at her leaving us way too early. This website is a natural consequence of that abundance of love. We invite you to add your own memories, stories, photos, videos, and songs to this website. Together, by sharing our love for Cathy, we will keep her memory alive and help each other to heal.
As this website's name proclaims, she will forever be missed.
Another way to honor our love for Cathy, and all she has contributed to our lives, is by contributing to the Cathy Cherbosque Scholarship, which has been set up to help fund the education of nurses who specialize in cancer research and treatment. The knowledge, support and love of all the nurses throughout Cathy's journey made such a tremendous difference to her. Please take a moment to click on this link to the donation site:
"To Cathy's family,
You all have been on my mind and heart and I wanted to express how I felt about your beloved Cathy. Although I spent time with her only a few times, Cathy left a lasting impression and I felt connected to her.
I will never forget the day we moved our girls into their dorm room at BoCo. Savannah and Carina were so excited to be roommates. Cathy and Jorge were there every step of the way. Cathy, carefully and thoughtfully unpacking Carina's suitcases. I could tell she was a little tired, but Cathy was strong and determined. She spent the entire day making sure everything was just right in that dorm room, while her beloved Jorge ran around getting food and drinks for everyone. I felt so very blessed that my Savannah would be living with Carina. I knew this was a very special family.
Over the next few years I had a few more opportunities to spend time with Cathy and family. I remember we all went to Boston to see our girls perform in a Tennesee Williams production. We all went to dinner afterwards and I just remember thinking Cathy was so stunning and graceful. Her soft spokeness was enchanting. Our girls were celebrating their 21st birthdays that evening...very memorable.
The last time that I saw Cathy was in May of 2015. This time her other beautiful daughter, Tiana, accompanied the family to Boston for Carina's graduation. I was so happy to see her and talk to her. She was radiant as usual. This woman made a lasting impression.
Jorge, Carina and Tiana, our family is deeply saddened by your loss. We have comfort in knowing that Cathy is in heaven and walks amongst the angels. She has always been an angel. Please know that we think about you all the time. May God hold you close and heal your hearts each and every day, one day at a time.
We love you all so much,
Darren, Lori, Savannah, Landen and Charlotte"
"To the family of Cathy,
Please let me extend my condolences to you. It is unnatural to lose a loved one in death. When we read the account of Lazarus, it teaches us that the resurrection is a reality. Jesus taught that someday "all those in the memorial tombs" will be resurrected. (John 5:28,29) Not only will Cathy be resurrected to life on earth but she will have an opportunity to live forever on this earth in peaceful and happy conditions. (Ps. 37:11, 29) I hope that these expressions from the Bible help to bring you some comfort and hope."

Posted on: November 10, 2016
Tuesday night was a shock to a lot of us. After Florida was called for that racist bigot who might be the president elect I went to bed. I watched from my phone as the race continued to tip in his favor and I somehow fell asleep. I slept until my wife came in and snuggled me.
"Did he win?" I asked her.
"Yes," she responded.
In the last 24+ hours I've cried bitterly, desperately, angrily. It isn't a shock that the United States is racist. I knew that. I guess it's best described as disbelief. I just didn't realize the full extent of the racism. It is that disbelief that I'm seeing across my Facebook timeline, and some white folks (and some brown folks, too) have expressed their anger, sadness, frustration and solidarity while others have said things like, let's come together, let's try to love, let's give it a chance. When POCs have responded with how hurtful, dismissive and frustrating sentiments like these are I've seen some white folks get defensive.
I get it. This is a shock to a lot of people, and that shock is unsettling and everyone should feel the feelings they are feeling. We also need to realize that the feelings of other people may night quite align with yours.
Be upset.
Be fucking pissed off.
Be sad.
Be angry.
See rage.
Feel hurt.
Feel let down.
Hold your kids tight. And get to work.
For too long we've believed that this place or that place we live in is Liberal so it's okay. I live in X and everything is fine here. My friends, my spouse, I don't think that way and everything is okay. I'm a feminist.
Whatever your reason for sitting idly while others worked, protested, gave of time and money and sweat, now is the time to get off of the sidelines and to join in the fight.
I cannot bleach away the blackness of my skin. I cannot straighten the kinks of my hair. I cannot hide my pussy. I am exactly what you see. And for half of this country I am what they hate. And I have to walk these streets in a body they hate.
Two dear friends said things to me that I disagreed with. One, in dismay at a homophobic attack, said it's unfortunate because where the attack happened was a liberal area of LA. Another said that we should fight hatred with love, a sentiment Dr. King based his non-violent platform on. I disagree with my friends.
Liberal areas are no less a threat to someone who looks like me, to someone who wears a hijab, to someone who wears a kippah, to someone who loves someone of the same sex or someone who doesn't conform to "gender norms". We can still get shot, five people did, in "liberal" Seattle last night.
Love isn't there when synagogues are vandalized, when churches are burned. Love isn't in the bystanders who watch as a woman's hijab is ripped from her head or when a woman is called a nigger. Love isn't there when children scream "build a wall" to their classmates and teachers watch in dismay. Love isn't there when we've told the countless people who are victims of sexual assault and rape that not only can your attacker walk free, he can win the presidency of our country. That's not love. Complacency isn't love. Love doesn't get shit done, it's obvious that hate does.
For too long we've lived in our safe bubbles with our liberal friends, our neutral friends, our happy lives while black and brown folks raged in Ferguson, St. Louis, Detroit, Flint, Standing Rock and other communities fighting for the basic freedoms we (I) took for granted.
What do you suppose happens after he comes for the Muslims, the Mexicans, the undocumented, the Jews …
When blacks exclaimed BLACK LIVES MATTER, did you say it too?
When LGBTQ folks exclaimed that we DEMAND EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS, did you demand it too?
When Water Protectors exclaimed WATER IS LIFE!, did you say it too?
For too long folks with white (or light) skin have been able to blend in, to not make waves, not stick their necks out too far. If you're feeling the things you're feeling and you want to create change, do it. It does no one any good to simply sit with the emotions. And it's infuriating for you to try to tell me how I should feel, I'm not trying to tell you how to feel. I'm asking you to take how you're feeling, all of that anger, raged, despair frustration, disbelief and put it into action.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 161744 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 1144 AM CST Tue Jan 16 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 446 AM CST Tue Jan 16 2018 Lake effect snow ends across the south shore today with stratus clouds generally diminishing from west to east across the Northland. A mild trend into Wednesday as much warmer air moves in from the west. This morning radar, satellite, and ASOS/AWOS observations depict lake effect snow showers diminishing and shifting eastward across the south shore. Low level winds will turn northwesterly this morning and drier air will move in from the north bringing an end to the snowfall. Elsewhere across the Northland a broken field of stratus clouds blankets the region, though the stratus appears fairly thin due to the extent of clearing being produced by the variations in terrain, such as the usual north shore gravity wave. There should be a period of clearing today before additional clouds arrive tonight as a warm front builds in from the west. No precipitation expected with this warm front, with overnight clouds and a persistent west wind developing resulting in lows near to just below zero. Sunny and mild Wednesday as drier air moves in aloft and 850mb temps climb to nearly +10C - which is in the record warmth range for INL sounding climatology. West winds will ramp up due to deep mixing and a tight south to north pressure gradient - gusts of 20 to 30 mph expected. Highs in the 20s Wednesday. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 446 AM CST Tue Jan 16 2018 This might sound like a broken record, but not much has changed. High pressure builds for Wednesday with warm air advection bringing in much warmer air where highs get back into the 20s to even the 30s by late in the week. Generally most of the week should be dry, but there are some wrinkles. A well-modeled short-wave passes over Thursday which should be enough to bring some form of precip to the region, but it should be rather light though could be mixed in phase. Another short- wave passes on Friday with slightly better odds for QPF. The big story in the extended continues to be the potential for a major winter storm for Sunday into Monday. The 00Z deterministic and ensemble ECMWF solutions maintain their prognostication of a strong system impacting the area. One thing that continues to stick out is the potential for a swath of > 1" of QPF which would translate to at least a foot of snow. Now, the 06Z GFS has drifted a little more to the south and east which aligns more with the Canadian model and this is where the GFS ensembles are focusing the QPF. Long story short, keep an eye on the forecast going into next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1143 AM CST Tue Jan 16 2018 VFR conditions should be the rule across the Northland throughout the period. The exception will be this afternoon, when we could see some localized IFR/MVFR CIG`s and VSBY`s due mainly to industrial sources. As the day wears on, the entire region should see VFR conditions with mid clouds moving in from the north. Those mid clouds should thin out and push off to the south later tonight and early Wednesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Which colleges give you the best chances of meeting your educational expenses? Concentrating on Carnegie Mellon University financial aid email, for example, may give you additional focus in the financial assistance selection and award process. Check with the financial aid office for assistance with filling out FAFSA forms, registration deadlines, and financial aid program requirements. Please use the form above to request application info for Carnegie Mellon University.
The first step in applying for financial aid is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which must be redone every year that you're seeking financial assistance. Within a few weeks, the US Department of Education will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary of the FAFSA data you submitted. Further, the financial aid office at the schools you're applying to will use your information to calculate your financial aid package, and will send you an award letter, detailing the amount of financial assistance that you're eligible for.
Please note that you are responsible for repaying all of your student loans with interest. If you are unable to make timely payments on your outstanding student loans, you must contact the loan office to make arrangements in order to keep your loan in good standing. In the worst case scenario, if you end up with a federal student loan in default, up to 15% of your disposable income may be appropriated by wage garnishment. It's not just your credit rating that may suffer, as new laws have increased the penalties for failing to repay financial obligations.

NATO's senior civilian in Afghanistan discusses challenges ahead
NATO's senior civilian representative in Afghanistan, Ambassador Sir Simon Gass, gave a lecture at the Royal United Services Institute yesterday on the challenges ahead as Afghanistan prepares to take on responsibility for its own security by 2015.
Sir Simon began by reflecting on the fact that, as 2012 begins, there are just 36 months left before the ISAF mission in Afghanistan comes to an end and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) take on responsibility for the security of their country. 'How should those remaining months be used to achieve a sustainable degree of stability?' he asked.
Progress so far
To put that question into context, Sir Simon first reflected on how much progress has been made so far:
"That would depend," he said, "on what you take as your starting point. If you go back to 2001 when ambition was very high and the insurgency seemed to have been stamped out, then you would say that the progress that we have made since then has not been as much as we would have liked or expected."

Leading civil servant admits errors in foreign prisoners crisis
Sir John Gieve, permanent secretary at the department from 2001 to the end of 2005, said the issue had been overlooked because staff and money were being diverted to solving asylum issues, which at the time had a higher profile.
"Of course there were definite failings in the handling of foreign national prisoners which I very much regret," Sir John told MPs on the Commons home affairs select committee yesterday. "I'm sorry I didn't pick up on this earlier and take a personal interest. Obviously, we didn't spot this one in time and I regret that very much."
Sir John said he had not been overly concerned when it emerged in October last year that 400 prisoners had been released without being considered for deportation, because by then he believed the government had devoted the resources to dealing with it.
The admissions add further fuel to the controversy surrounding the management of the Home Office, and the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) in particular. They also suggest that targets set by Tony Blair to tackle asylum played a part in distorting the department's priorities.
In April it emerged that 1,023 prisoners had been released without being considered for deportation over seven years. Tony Blair sacked Charles Clarke as home secretary after a public outcry.
Sir John, who moved to become a deputy governor of the Bank of England, had a difficult relationship with Mr Clarke. Sir David Normington, who had been Mr Clarke's permanent secretary at the Department for Education and Skills, took over at the Home Office in January.
Sir John said the government "lost control" of asylum in the late 1990s.
In further evidence to the committee, Stephen Boys Smith, head of the IND from 1998 to 2002, said the unit had been "run down" from 1995 onwards. There had been only 100-150 experienced asylum caseworkers to deal with a backlog of 100,000.
Last week the current head of the IND, Lin Homer, said it would take "years, not months" to sort out the directorate. It had suffered "a near classic case of demand outstripping supply", with casework run by junior managers.
At least 200 of the 1,023 prisoners who have had their cases reconsidered after the controversy surfaced are to be allowed to stay.
John Reid, the new home secretary, told the committee last month that his department was "not fit for purpose" and "averse to a culture of personal responsibility, technologically ill-equipped for an era of mass migration and led by officials that are incapable of producing facts or figures that remain accurate for even a short period of time".

Games-Way-of-Thinking is Good for Business
|September 5, 2012
|Posted by Game Gal under Games Way of Thinking, Team Building Exercises, Teambuilding, Understanding Differences
If you supervise people, or work with others on a team, you can learn to use a Games-Way-of-Thinking to avoid or solve problems. This way of thinking is an alternative to traditional ways of solving problems when they arise. The problems I refer to here usually involve people (and the issues we all bring along with us) or technology or processes. Within every problem is a relationship. You may define "relationship" as being between at least two people yet people can have relationships with technology; technology can have relationships to a budget. You get the idea.
Using an alternative approach to problem solving is what a Games-Way-of-Thinking is.
Here's one example.
Zack and Sally just can't seem to work together. They create friction on the team and passively sabotage each other which hurts the project, the team and of course the company.
A traditional approach to solving this relationship problem would be to:
- Give them both a lecture about how to get along
- Praise them more, even publicly, hoping they will feel better and melt their differences
- Take away some of their compensation
- Add more to their compensation
- Send them to a third-party listener/therapist
- Put one or both of them on probation
- Put them on different teams away from each other
- Live in denial and work around this problem *
*This is what I have found to be the most widely used response to people problems in corporate America. It's such a shame.
If you wanted an alternative approach, one that would work to diffuse the problem and get the two challenging employees better connected, apply a different, non-traditional way of thinking.
In this case, I would identify an appropriate team building activity that would let Zack and Sally identify the root of their problems and find a channel to take them to a new and improved method of relating to each other. Blow up the old relationship and build a new one that is built on their differences, not inhibited by their differences.
There are so many ideas on ways to get them back on track. Here's one:
If you want to have the whole department/team participate in an activity, have them break into teams and plan a vacation together. Zack and Sally must be on the same team. In this team building activity, people are expected to plan the vacation that the department will take together but it must be built around real life constraints. People learn a lot about each other while building a fun fantasy together. Sally might find out that Zack can't take a vacation because he has to care for someone at home. Zack might find out that Sally has a medical condition that won't allow her to travel to certain geographical areas. It's a fun imaginative exercise that teaches a team how to head toward a goal while dealing with a variety of constraints. The real beauty in this team building game is that the teams always seem to be able to work it out!
There are many other paths to take to get Zack and Sally into a better understanding about how they can work together more harmoniously. Using the non-traditional Games-Way-of-Thinking will stir up creative options to solve the problem and connect people at the same time.
I will be talking more on this in other posts.by

The life of Claudio Monteverdi (1597-1643) Turabian Style
Claudio Monteverdi: His life and contributions.
Claudio Zuan (Giovanni) Antonio Monteverdi was born in Cremona in 1567. He was baptized on May 15 of the same year. He was born to Baldassare Monteverdi, who was a barber-surgeon, and Maddalena Zignani, a goldsmith's daughter . After a Milanese decree stating that surgery could not be practiced by individuals that have not been tested by a council, Baldassare became a founding member and president of an association of surgeons that were officially approved to practice surgery called Colegio dei Chirurghi (College of Surgeons) . This and…

Custom article writing involves considerably more than merely putting together the most effective composition possible. You may not turn into a master essayist instantaneously. Essays are composed works which are transcribed in many different voices along with designs. These documents need to be interesting. These factors is that you're creating an academic essay, and thus, require to use a reasonably formal way of authorship. You may possibly already be fairly comfy composing essays and in that case you'll have an absolute awareness of what operates for you. An excellent way to review your tone is consistently to examine your essays out loud. After the moment comes where you're in urgent need of custom documents, you understand just where you must turn. Besides educational games and apps which are particularly created to support appropriate hand writing, creating fluency, written business, and punctuation, There Is Certainly a sea of diverse games and technologies which could work to apply these skills while having a great time. Tons of people, and children particularly, love playing computer games.
Among the sketching methods for beginners, will be to begin sketching on uneven paper.
Hockey is considerably more than merely a game title. To conclude it appears to me that the possible dangers of computer games are relatively more significant in comparison with the probable gains. Whenever you browse our site for suggestions which may let you compose your own essay, you are going to discover several helpful tips. It is furthermore a terrific concept to put in the custom of summarizing the arrangements of your own essays before you start writing. With aid such as this, it's also more easy to know why our custom composition papers are a number of the very sought after within the world. On a thesis, including reports and illustrations may be asked to prepare. The application of examples is significant to an exceptional article.
You'll find specialized aspects that you can utilize to perfect the selfie's art.
There are different processes of structuring several types of documents. We offer you lots of article samples that will offer you a vivid instance of the way at which article of this or that type must be written. If examples are given, they may be basic and may possibly not be clearly relevant. Because your composition will probably be refined electronically, use the spell checker! When you're writing, stay far from utilizing the very essays online same content repeatedly. Individuals who may identify themselves as poor spellers have quite several tools for example spellcheck and autocomplete that could enable them to control this trouble of their authorship. Phrases show a tiny variety and word choice is adequate. The essay requires a placement on the matter and might provide some context for discourse.
There in fact is not an exciting account to geremi's demise.
It could not have a view about the issue, or the essay may take a position but neglect to express grounds to support that position, or the essay may take a position but neglect to maintain a stance. The essay needs a position on the matter but doesn't supply a framework for discussion. It takes a place on the issue and may provide a crucial framework for discussion. Pay attention to this problem within the prompt is preserved during a lot of the article. All documents should get an introduction plus a decision. Your article must have a definite end, within the kind of the conclusion. Published advice within the books evaluation. After the game starts there's no showing what is going to take place next. Usually do not have any idea where to start

In a Q&A session with reporters, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn was especially vocal about the matter. "I would say the major problem we are facing today is the uncompetitive level of the yen," said Ghosn, calling the yen a "unique handicap" for exporters from Japan. In keeping the value bolstered at this level, Japan is giving an incentive for companies to move their manufacturing facilities out, added Ghosn, who declared that there's simply no profitability from cars built in Japan for export, so manufacturing is going to continue to shift to Thailand, China, Mexico, and other countries unless Japan changes the environment.
A lot is at stake for Japan, as more than 50 percent of Nissan's current global production is in its home country. If manufacturing is moved elsewhere, there's (valid) concern that research and development dollars eventually will move elsewhere, too.

Will Japan fix its trade woes, and can the Japanese industry gain its momentum back? We have a feeling that we'll have an answer to that by the time the next Tokyo show rolls around in 2013.

We've written in-depth before about various aspects of how to start and grow your supporter email list (with a budget or without!). Now we're giving you a special holiday gift: putting all our tips together in one comprehensive guide to how to grow your email list for non-profits and political campaigns, for an action-filled 2015. Say you're starting out from scratch, and you don't have much of a budget yet. What can you do?
First of all, make sure you're making the most of what you already have. Do you have silos of email addresses – past donors in ActBlue or NGP or elsewhere, past volunteer lists, email lists in other CRMs etc. like an old Constant Contact account, or trapped in your website CMS? If you're a candidate, go through your personal email address book and LinkedIn profile. More tips here for candidates running for office.
Gather all that together and import into your chosen mass email software platform. If you don't have a budget or are using your personal email account for mass email work, use MailChimp to get started, because it's free for less than 2K email addresses — or Action Network, a very affordable solution for non-profits and campaigns.
Note that if you are tapping very old sources of personal email addresses, you'll want to do an email verification first or you may have deliverability issues with your ISPs. Paid services like BriteVerify will check to see if the email addresses are still deliverable.
Don't forget snail mail addresses too! Start with your address book, your Christmas or holiday card list etc. Remember friends, neighbors, former coworkers and alumni from school and other programs. You can always look at a paid email append service through a service like FreshAddress or TowerData/MelissaData later if these are people that would want to hear from you.
Along with email, you should set up social media accounts for your organization or campaign if you haven't already this year. You can use social media to build your email list, going forward (some of our collected best tips for persuading your social media followers to join your email list). This is a great inexpensive way to engage your supporters further, and also develop a relationship outside of a somewhat capricious tool like Facebook. (Will your supporters see your content in 2015 if you're not paying for views? Only Mark Zuckerberg knows..) Note that just setting up social media accounts will not drive people to automatically sign up for your email list — you'll need to reach out and ask people regularly on social media to sign up, and MOST IMPORTANTLY give them reasons to sign up. In this heavy email world, most people will not want to add themselves to yet another email list unless there's a clear and compelling reason to do so.
While you're making sure everything is set up and tuned, make sure your website is putting its best face forward. More and more traffic is coming in on mobile devices — for 2015 you'll want to make sure your site is mobile optimized, or you are leaving supporters behind (and reporters too!). Read our campaign and non-profit website guide to make sure you have a successful website project in 2015.
Make the most of your online advocacy as a list-building tool as well as to change the world. Note that you'll generally need a full CRM like Salsa to take advantage of this, but even if you have no budget you can use tools like MoveOn's petition tool. Also be sure to read our guide for tips on how to make your activism effective instead of simply clictivism. Respect your audience or they will stop listening.
Just because you build something, doesn't mean an audience will discover it automatically. To get growth for your organization, don't forget about online (paid) advertising. There are lots of great options out there that can add qualified like-minded supporters to your organization or campaign — whether it be via social media, services like Care2/Change.org/LeftAction, or blogs. If you're a c(3) organization, you may be eligible for a Google Grant — which will get you free advertising on the Google search engine!
There's also a free option out there, partnering with other like-minded organizations or campaigns and doing a joint action or swap. But you must be very careful with this technique: once your list is substantially shared with another organization, then there may be all kinds of unforeseen effects. Is the other group or groups going to share it further? Will they treat the list with respect? This is a quick growth source but it can open up your supporters to mistreatment if you are not careful. More about the possible negative network effects.
Finally, use it or lose it — be sure to use all the tools in your toolbox to keep them bright and shiny, and your audience enthusiastic and engaged in 2015.

Man is a town west of Côte d'Ivoire and is an is an agricultural region. People there are peaceful and quiet like the people in Guinea. Definitely less agressive then the people in Senegal:P
Since Ivory coast is one of the music capital in Africa so "we" decided to head to the club for some VIBE:P
Ivory Cost so far to me is a very safe city and people will try to help you whenever they can:)
The next day we headed to the capital city of Ivory coast-Yamoussoukro.
We went to visit the infamous Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro (French: Basilique Notre-Dame de la Paix de Yamoussoukro) The local tour guide told us he had no idea how much money the last president had spent on this church but I am telling you it must be A LOT!. The president wanted this church to be bigger and more Grand than Basilica of Saint Peter because this church is clearly inspired by the Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican City.
I was NOT supposed to take photos of the inside but the local guide was so friendly, he told me I can do whatever I want-SECRETLY:P
The church is really grand but to me when compared to St. Peter, it's just not as beautiful even the president tried hard to make everything bigger!
There's even 4 hidden elevator sthere for people to get up to the top where there's a huge terrace.
The weather there is SO HOT AND HUMID even during the "winter time" and I was always wondering why the sky of Senegal, guinea and now Ivory coast are all very Hazy! The local told me it's because of the "Harmattan" wind. The "Harmattan" is a seasonal wind which blows across Northwestern Africa every year from November through March. This famous wind blows from North to South, working its way across the Sahara to the Gulf of Guinea. Along the way, it tends to pick up sand and dust, turning into a very drying, dusty wind. When the Harmattan really gets going, the dust can create a cloudy haze.So, I blame it on the Haze who made my photographs so DULL!!!!:P So when we got up on the top floor, the whole city skyline was very hazy!
But at the end I was so happy to see an OWL on the dome of the church! It's truly magical as I have never see an Owl before in real life:)
Then we headed to the president palace trying to see the feeding of the crocodile:). However, we were told no tourist is allow to see that anymore because couple of years ago a tourist fell into the lagoon and was attacked by crocodiles:(
Ofcourse I had to do some X's mas shopping as the fabrics there are AMAZING.
If you have follow me on FACEBOOK, you probably already knew I bought a few of them and I will show you all later:)
That night we pampered ourselves by having an amazing drinks and dinner on the top floor in a Five star hotel- Hotel President. It's the most famous hotel in Yamoussoukro. The restaurant is supposed to be revolving but it's NOT working anymore @_@…well, it's AFRICA afterall!!!:p

This is an extremely important question. I am glad that you already know about the health benefits. Let me give you a few more benefits of reducing smog.
First, closely related to health benefits, there will be a lot of savings on medical costs. When when consider that air pollution (smog) affect not just a small percentage of society, we are now talking about billions of dollars in saved heath costs.
Second, with the reducing of smog, there will be a greater harvest in terms of food.
Finally, in order to get rid of smog, there needs to be a greater green push. When this happens, more jobs are created. This will, in turn, pick up the economy.

Azul Photography's "Azul Archives" is an image from past weddings that our photographers created in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area. These images were created prior to our current blog site and we just had to show off an image from that time frame.
We were looking through our archives and found our first advertisement as wedding photographers in Raleigh. This ad could be found in Southern Bride & Groom and we remember 2005 like it was yesterday. There was much debate about the logo, the advertisement and the image utilized to show our style. Our style has remained the same and our logo has changed slightly to the Azul signature. We opted to use this image because it was different (for the time), fun and showed the bride & groom having a great time.
Kathleen and I officially opened the doors to Azul in March of 2004 in Houston, Texas and moved back to North Carolina as fast as we could get here. This wedding was at MacGregor Downs in Cary and it was a wild one. Thank you Laura & Greg for going with Azul in the early years! We could not have done it without you.

It's a great product, but I wouldn't say it is the most special and coveted one out there. It's a lip sugar scrub exfoliator on the one side, and a lip butter/plumper on the other. Both do their job really well! However the price of it is $30, which is a little extreme I think. They both smell amazing though, and are organic. There are other things out there for cheaper, and making your own DIY lib scrub is easy (although you can't do a to-go little stick version). All in all, if you're willing to splurge or have the money to do so, I would get this, but if not, it would be best to save your money.

Hello My Friends,
In light of recent world events, I decided to re-post the following list of personal codes of conduct, by which to live, that are commonly referred to as the Native American Code of Ethics.
These principles are simple yet powerful, demanding yet gracious, timely and yet timeless.
I post them here as a token of my respect for the past, my appreciation of the present, and my hope for the future.
Most Sincerely,
Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy – and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it, for, you.
Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.
Do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community, the wilderness or from a culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.
Respect all things that are placed upon this earth – whether it be people or plant.
Honor other people's thoughts, wishes and words. Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.
Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.
All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.
Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body and spirit. Practice optimism.
Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us. It is part of your worldly family.
Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.
Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain will return to you.
Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of ones will within this universe.
Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual self, Emotional self, and Physical self – all need to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.
Make conscious decisions as to who you will be and how you will react. Be responsible for your own actions.
Respect the privacy and personal space of others. Do not touch the personal property of others – especially sacred and religious objects. This is forbidden.
Be true to yourself first. You cannot nurture and help others if you cannot nurture and help yourself first.
Respect others religious beliefs. Do not force your belief on others.
Share your good fortune with others.
May The Great Spirit Smile down on you and keep you and yours safe
May the trail rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sunshine be warm upon your face
May the rain fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again, may The Great Spirit hold your hand in the palm of his hand.


text: Well it is looking like no work for us here in Alaska on Monday... Mt. Redoubt volcano has been erupting for days now and no UPS flights have landed at Anchorage since Thursday. Friday we ran the last of the ground volume that was in town, about 3800 pcs vs. a normal day around 8,000-9,000. All we have left now are send agains. I heard yesterday that they were going to try to get a couple of planeloads in today but nothing yet. If they don't get here tomorrow I guess we are all laid off for Monday.

By P Venugopal
The Chinese Government is determined to raise the country's NR output to meet the rising demand irrespective of the fact that many provinces of China are unfit for NR cultivation due to unsuitable climate, prolonged drought, typhoon etc.
China is the top consumer of natural rubber in the world, thanks to its booming auto and tyre industries. The country's domestic production of NR, however, constitutes only a fraction of its demand.
China consumed 4.7 million tonnes of NR in 2015 while the country's total NR production came to only 794,000 tonnes in 2015. ANRPC expects China's NR consumption to further rise to 4.9 million tonnes in 2016.
This huge demand-supply gap has forced China to depend heavily on imports. Keeping pace with the rise in consumption, China's import of NR too is on constant rise, touching 4.1 million tonnes in 2015 from 2.9 million tonnes in 2011. China's 2016 NR import is estimated around 4.05 million tonnes.
The Chinese Government is determined to raise the country's NR output to meet the rising demand, irrespective of the fact that many provinces of China are unfit for NR cultivation due to unsuitable climate, prolonged drought, typhoon etc. The Government hopes to fight the odds by introducing scientific farming practices, developing suitable clones, providing incentives to farmers etc.
Main rubber areas
Natural rubber production in China comes from two main growing areas namely, Yunnan and Hainan provinces. Xishuangbannacan be deemed as the rubber capital of Yunnan province. In Yunnan, rubber plantations are a lucrative business and rubber area has expanded dramatically over the past two decades.
Geographically, Hainan is not a suitable area for rubber due to typhoon and seasonal cold climate (18⁰-19⁰N). Against all odds, rubber cultivation has flourished in Hainan.
Suitable area for expansion is said to have reached the limit in Yunnan and Hainan. Rubber plantations in Hainan is almost equally divided in area between State farms and smallholders.
Besides Yunnan and Hainan, rubber trees are also planted in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian provinces, although in small areas.
The Government is offering incentives to the province's economically backward farmers to plant rubber as a way to overcome poverty. Many of them are from ethnic-minority groups. As a result, rubber cultivation in the smallholding sector has achieved tremendous progress to the extent that smallholders now account for 61% of NR production in China.
Rubber planting drive
The steps undertaken by the Government are showing results. China's Total Rubber Area and Tapped Area have seen substantial expansion in recent years. The Total Rubber Area, which stood at 34,000 ha in 2009, increased to 111,200 ha in 2015 and is expected to further increase to 132,500 ha in 2016.
China undertook replanting in 20,000 ha. and new planting in 5,000 ha. in 2015. The country is expected to undertake replanting in another 16,000 ha and new planting in 4,000 ha in 2016.
China's Average Annual Yield (kg per hectare of tapped area) stood at 1,117 kg in 2015.
As a result of all these measures, China's annual production of NR, which stood at 727,000 tonnes in 2011, rose to 794,000 tonnes in 2015.
Import tariff regulation
Demand for high-quality rubber industry products and tougher tyre import quality requirements in the European Union and the US have prompted the Chinese Government to adopt stringent measures to ensure the quality of imported and locally produced rubber.
The country has introduced a new import tariff regulation on import of compound rubber thereby only rubber containing 80% of NR is permitted, or else a higher import tariff will be applied.
Import tariff on NR latex is 10% or RMB900 per MT, while import tariff on RSS is 20% or RMB 1,500 per MT. The accompanying chart shows that import of rubber mixture has shown a significant increase after implementation of new NR import tariff regulation.
China reckons that it can't compromise on quality if the country is to remain as the world's unchallenged rubber power house.

The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Benayoun, Lucas, Aquilani, Kuyt, Gerrard, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Skrtel, Aurelio, Kyrgiakos, Babel, Ngog, Spearing.
HUAT AHHHHH ! aqualanlan finally have some match fitness

all not marking the player properly.. and need 2 player to challenge one villan ?
HENG KE LAO SAI AHH ! torres scores a late winner in injury time. phew..
You'll Never Walk Alone! - i have the best job in the world!
its an even game against villa...we could have lost by a few goals but won it in extra time...thats football...we lost some games we shouldnt have already...
so we ended this year on a high...like i said...this defeat for villa will demoralise them...next year,the teams competing with us for 4th spot will be spurs & manC...of which i think manC will be the biggest threat...this season i'm not surprise if arse win the epl...after their experience last season...just like us this season...they've gained valuable experience...& they stick to their manager...
Last edited by Whitelion; 30th December 2009 at 08:27 AM.
Wow, congrats to Torres.. for being the fastest player in History to hit 50 league goals in just 72 appearances.. amazing
He just need one chance and that's all for the whole 90mins.. and we can enjoy the New Year at ease knowing that we are just 3 points away from Spurs whose now sitting at the 4th position..
we are known to be good for the 2nd half of the season...if we can maintain a long winning streak...(like i've said many times before)we can achieve better than 4th...i'm sure manure will lose a few more games...they are not convincing...chelski will lose few players in the african nations games...they are not playing well even with those players...arse are not consistent...it's a good time to start peaking in form...
injury time goal....
what the heck, as long as it is 3 points, i will take that
happy new year!
how did Aquilani fared?
another player is lucas , as usual , blur like sotong .. keep passing to wrong players.. This Match i can consider liverpool very lucky, villa has like 3 chances which they are supppose to score. but too bad Carew and Downing cant score. and this morning our defence is totally cannot make it during first half.. keep running into each other cause 2 player mark 1 villan. Johnson i think he will be injured again as he hurt himself during the game and got to be sub out with skirtie in . . .
in short, we are really lack of creativity ...
in short,both teams played a bad game...i guess its due to poor weather...but like most,i take the 3 points...heck about what else that happened...

There are many different ways to promote a restaurant including holidays, like Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve to nightly promotions such as happy hour. Other promotions include tasting dinners, restaurant week, nightly dinner specials and customer appreciation promotions.

1.  New Year's Eve – On of the biggest nights of the year for a restaurant, New Year's Eve brings groups of people out for a night of fun. Think appetizers, buffets of party food, and champagne.

2. Valentine's Day – Unlike New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day is all about couples and romance. Think specials for two, paired with wine, decadent desserts that can be shared.

3. Mother's Day – Busy days like Mother's Day offer restaurants a chance to increase sales and bring in future business with word of mouth advertising. However, common mistakes often lead to Mother's Day blunders that could potentially harm a restaurant's reputation. Learn how to avoid these common mistakes as you get ready for Mother's Day. 4. Happy Hour- Many restaurants with a bar or pub offer happy hour specials during the week. Happy hours are geared toward working people, to entice them to stop in for a drink special after work. Along with cheap drink specials, many restaurants offer inexpensive or free appetizers such as chicken wings, taco bars, or chips and salsa for patrons.

5. Restaurant Week - Established in 1992 to help increase business for restaurants, Restaurant Week has grown in popularity over the past two decades. While Restaurant Week varies from place to place, the main concept is that restaurants partner with local tourist organizations or chambers of commerce to promote a week of lunch and/or dinner specials. Other partners may include local businesses, banks and food vendors. As part of Restaurant Week, businesses offer reduced prices for a limited, prix fixe menu, the idea being that what they lose in check averages they gain in sales volume. Some restaurants report increased volume as high as 40% during Restaurant Week. Read more about Restaurant Week.

6. Two for One Specials – An ever popular promotion is two meals for the price of one. To keep food cost under control, keep your two-for-one menu limited to select entrees, or try rotating the menu, offering different dishes each week. Because two-for-one specials are geared toward the budget-minded consumer, avoid offering expensive items, such as lobster or large cuts of beef. Simple menu items, such as roasted chicken, stuffed haddock, meatloaf, and stuffed pork chops all have low food cost, and are perennially favorite meals. Check more classic favorites for your restaurant menu.

7. Coupons – Everyone likes a deal, and offering coupons for a percent off a meal, a free dessert or other promotion is a great way to reach out to customers. Think beyond the Sunday paper. You can offer coupons on your website, on your Facebook or Twitter page.

8. Wine Tasting - Specialty dinners, such as dinner theater, fundraisers or a wine tasting are great way to get extra business through the door in slow times. They work well for both large and small groups and are ideal for those slow weekends in between the busy seasons. Wine tastings are especially popular, because people love good wine and good food, especially when they come together.

9. Beer Tasting – Similar to a wine tasting, a beer tasting (or beer dinner) is a great way to get customers in during slow seasons at your restaurant. A restaurant beer dinner mixes great beers, generally microbrews or other artisan beers, with a prix fixe menu. Restaurants can sell tickets or take reservations to their beer dinner. Just make sure your kitchen can handle feeding a large crowd all at the same time.

10. Contests - Everyone loves a contest and the chance of winning a free gift. Contests are better suited for restaurants with a pub or bar, but there is no rule that you can't have one in your diner, bistro or café. Contests can range from naming a new dessert dish to winning the weekly football pool. Prizes can be something as simple (and inexpensive) as a gift certificate for a free meal to cold hard cash. Free t-shirts, if you carry them, mugs or other restaurant related retail items also make great promotional gifts.

O'Malley's Entrance into Presidential Race Raises the Bar for All 2016 Candidates on Immigration
Newest Democratic Candidate Has Demonstrated Leadership on Immigrant Rights; Pushing for Maryland DREAM Act, Welcoming Refugee Children with Open Arms
WASHINGTON – Tomorrow at a rally on Baltimore's Federal Hill, Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is expected to launch his campaign for President in 2016. Jesus Perez, a local DREAMer and leader with CASA in Action will join him on stage for the announcement.
Below are remarks from Lupe Lopez, the Executive Director of the Alliance for Citizenship:
"True leadership often emerges in times of crises. Last summer, when thousands of children fleeing violence in Central America arrived at our southern border, many politicians, including prominent Democrats and the Obama Administration argued for their immediate deportation. Gov. O'Malley, however, stood strong on principle and argued, 'We are not a country that should turn children away and send them back to certain death. I believe that we should be guided by…the power of our principles…hospitality to strangers is an essential human dignity.'
"Throughout his time as Governor, Martin O'Malley has taken political risks to establish himself as a fighter for immigrant rights. The debate over immigration in Washington has too long been held captive by politicians who lack the courage to take a bold stand on principle. So far, all three Democratic candidates have embraced the new politics of immigration and adopted strong positions that include a path to citizenship and the reduction of family detention centers. Meanwhile the GOP presidential field continues to push away vital Latino, Asian American, and immigrant voters with their shameless attacks and nativist rhetoric. We're excited to see a real debate on immigration emerge with O'Malley's candidacy."

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre and the Skylight Opera Theatre will co-produce a reading of The Tavern Keeper's Daughter with book, music, & lyrics by B.T. Ryback. The reading will be directed by Ray Jivoff as part of the the Montgomery Davis Play Development Series, and will take place Monday, Feb. 27, 2012 at 7:30 pm in The Skylight Bar & Bistro, 2nd Floor, Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway. The reading is free with donations kindly accepted.
More about TKD: Returning home to Milwaukee from WWII, Lenny, a young Polish marine, finds himself arranged to marry the tavern keeper's daughter from the bar across the street. Wanting more than a small town life, he runs off to New York City, where he meets Wanda, a spunky young woman trying to make something of herself in the Big Apple. Together they embark on a hilarious and heartwarming journey of self-discovery and romance, complete with a kooky, chorus-dancing gypsy, two mischievous gangster brothers, and the villainous godfather of the Polish mafia. The Tavern Keeper's Daughter is a brand-new, throw-back musical that celebrates that home is what you choose to make of it.
