Doesn't Research Guidance and the Time View give you the same information? Can I limit the individuals analyzed? I use a custom census event. Will the program work? Why would I want to exclude an individual for a specific year? How is the Exclusion file created? Does the program handle censuses for multiple countries?
Doesn't Research Guidance and the Time View give you the same information? (return to top)
Yes.... for a specific individual. The program will do it for many individuals so you can see at a glance what is missing. The report is sortable so that you can group a family together and find all the 'missing' census events for a family. I have over 3200 individuals in my Legacy DB and this will do the analysis quickly. For the detailed US Census years (1850-1930) for my Legacy DB, the report contains just under 800 individuals. That means for that timeframe, there were about that number living for at least one of the census years.
Can I limit the individuals analyzed? (return to top)
Yes, the program can analyze tagged individuals if you want. In Legacy, you could tag all the ancestors for a specific individual and then have the program only report on them. Tags 1 to 9 can be used.
I use a custom census event. Will the program work? (return to top)
Version 1.1 (2010-01-29) will allow a user to specify which event is to be matched.
Why would I want to exclude an individual for a specific year? (return to top)
There are multiple reasons:
How is the Exclusion file created? (return to top)
The program will do it for you. You just need to supply the name. If it exists, it will use it. If it doesn't, it will create it if you create an exclusion. As you find individuals that you want to exclude, double click on the year for that individual and the program will create the exclusion. The next time you run the program, the exclusion file will be read and any previous exclusions will be applied. If you don't create any exclusions, a file will not be created. A name must be supplied on the input window just in case exclusions will be created.
Note: If the exclusion file does not exist when you select 'Find' on the Input window, you will be asked if that is correct. This is to verify that you have not mistyped the filename. The warning message can be supressed.
Does the program handle censuses for multiple countries? (return to top)
It is country independent. You specify the years that you want it to analyze and it will do those years. I have added buttons that will add the census years for some countries but you can do any year(s) you want.
You can use it for multiple countries in the same Legacy file. There is a feature to allow you to exclude individuals from the report for specific years. Thus if you were analyzing for the 1901 Canadian Census, you can exclude those that were living outside Canada at the time. Since many countries conducted censuses during the same year, the program allows you to specify a file name for the exclusion file. This would allow you to have a UK and a Canadian exclusion file and get usable reports for each country.

Tribal tattoos
Tribal Tattoo Designs - accounts for nearly a third of all tattoo design search requests, and the term "tribal" of course covers an astonishing array of tattoo design possibilities, from the traditional tribal tattoos of indigenous and aboriginal cultures, to the latest in graphic design for the body.
While today it is possible to find some incredibly breathtaking tribal tattoo designs, you'll be hard pressed to experience the full, authentic art of the tribal tattoo experience in commercial America. Now, electric tattoo machines and high tech, high quality inks have replaced sticks, styluses, bone needles and plant dyes of the modern tattoo's ancient ancestors. Modern tattoo artists have replaced the shaman and medicine folk of old.
The History of the Tribal Tattoo Design
Because body and soul were generally thought to be identical to one another, your tattoos then existed on two planes: the physical and spiritual realms. Many of the tribes from Borneo believed that tattoos would not only be enough to get them to the proper spirit world, but that their tattoos also offered them special qualifications for advantageous occupations upon their arrival.
It has been found that most (if not all) primitive tribes used some form of body marking, be they tattoos, scarifications or the use of plain, temporary body paints. This art prevailed worldwide until the arrival of civilization as we know it, when the tattoo fell into a temporary loss of popularity.

Contrary to most perceptions about the excitement quotient on display in the World Cups, this edition has come as a major relief for the fans of the game. Quality football has been on display all throughout the group stages and there are reasons to believe it should only get better from here. Let's take a look at some of the things to look forward to as we head to the conclusion of the first round. Both Groups G and H are still pretty open and there could be a few more surprises in store on Thursday, the last day of the group stages in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Will the 'Real' Cristiano Ronaldo step up?
That Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are heads and shoulders above any of their contemporaries and among the greats to have graced the game is beyond the scope of argument. However, the culture of football bestows greatness to only those who deliver on the biggest of all stages – the World Cup that is. The Maradonas, The Ronaldos and the Zidanes of the world are celebrated the most for their heroics at this stage. After accomplishing nearly everything there's to win at the club level, this World Cup was billed the perfect platform for both Messi and Ronaldo to redeem themselves at the international stage and immortalize their names in the history of the sport.
But while Messi has had a sensational start to the campaign and has singlehandedly taken Argentina to the next round, it's Portugal's talisman who's struggling. Ronaldo came into the tournament with the world at his feet recently winning the Champions League title for Real Madrid. But the World Cup couldn't have taken off on a worse note for the Ballon d'Or holder with his side failing to inspire any confidence. Not only has Ronaldo failed to score in the two games, his performance levels in general have been a big let down by his lofty standards.
Although his last minute assist against the USA has allowed Portugal to live another day, he'd surely need to do much more for Portugal to savour any hopes of qualification to the next round. His fitness has been of great concern even during the build-up to the tournament and he has certainly not appeared his usual self on the field. Ronaldo's international career till date has been far from illustrious and the question that imminently arises is, does he have it in him to set things straight when it matters the most. Should the Ronaldo of Real Madrid step up, rule out the chances of a miracle for Portugal at your own peril.
Will Jurgen Klinsmann team up with the former disciples?
Mathematically, all the four sides from Group G can still make a progress to the next round. Jurgen Klopp's United States have performed admirably in their games so far and have it in them to make a hipster's darling. However, the last minute goal conceded to Portugal now puts them in a precarious position where a loss against the Germans could potentially eliminate them, depending on the result of the other game taking place simultaneously.
The Germans too on the other hand could face the elimination at losing the game, although that requires a far unlikelier event to take place in the other game. However, a draw is one result that sees both Germany and the USA to the next round and renders the other result quite pointless. We've seen two Scandinavian sides in the past take up this approach that minimizes the risk of losing but one might argue it'd be too much of pride to compromise on the Germans' part. Could they possibly extend a favour for a former legend in Klinsmann who's now pledged his loyalty to the Americans? A few more hours and the picture would be clearer.
Will Klose find a chance to create history?
Miroslav Klose is almost universally accepted as one of the best forwards of his generation and his consistency in the international arena has been truly outstanding. In the fag-end of his career, he has been chosen for the national side to compete for the biggest prize one last time and Joachim Low surely trusts him to deliver. At 36, Klose is surely not a starter for his side but has an important role to play nonetheless in Germany's campaign.
Against Ghana, he was thrown in as an impact sub and what followed straightaway was hardly surprising for anyone having closely followed Klose's career. With stakes being far too great during the knockout rounds and given the unpredictable nature of this sport, Klose will have to treat every game from here on as the last of his career with the national side and the last of the group games could very well be his moment to create history. Currently, Klose sits parallel to Ronaldo as the joint highest goal-scorer in the World Cup finals but he's within touching distance from claiming the glory. Knowing how much this means both to Klose and his nation, one shouldn't really be shocked to see Low giving him a rare start against the United States.
Will Belgium finally announce their arrival?
Belgium are the only side from Group H to have already secured qualification and unless things go dramatically wrong, they should top the group too. However, despite having won both their group games, they haven't exactly set this tournament afire. Their performance in both the games has been pretty disappointing, given the reputation with which their 'golden generation' has entered the tournament.
Almost every member of Belgium's first eleven garners considerable respect from some of the biggest clubs in Europe but the team still lacks cohesion and that element of fire in them. Given the competitive nature of the tournament, they're bound to face hungrier oppositions in the knockout rounds and hence it's extremely important for them to find the right momentum against the supposedly lesser opposition. The likes of Hazard, Mertens, De Bruyne and Lukaku are household names in European club football and it's only a matter of time before this team starts to live to its billing. But sooner they find the right combination is in the best of their interests and the final group game is the perfect stage to experiment for one last time and get things going.
All to play for between Russia and Algeria
This could be the most intensely fought battle of the day. There's everything to play for and a place in the final sixteen is definitely up for grabs for both the sides. A draw should seal it for the Algerians while the Russians must go out all guns blazing. Fabio Capello's signature conservative approach will definitely not prove to be enough as his side heads for a must-win contest. Algerian attacking line was a treat to watch during their victory over South Korea but over here, they could possibly prefer to sit back and catch the Russians off the guard on a counter. A cracking contest is surely on the cards and a huge heartbreak is in store.

Tandoori, chicken & lamb specialties. Full vegetarian & rice specialties on White Rocks' east beach. Ocean view patio seating.
So my friends and were thinking of going to a restaurant and so we decided to try out Indian Kitchen and the restaurant looked very good and there was also music. The couple that own this place are very nice and friendly. The prices of the dishes aren't expensive. There are over 180 dishes to choose from. So when it was time to order, we ordered butter chicken, palak paneer, bombay aloo and puria and some garlic naan. Then we were waiting and it didn't take long for the food to come and the food isn't already made, so when you order then it's made so the fresh. The decor is great. Then when the food came we tried it and when we tried it we were all blown away on how good the food was. It was just outstanding and. Also my friends told me that this is the best food that they have ever eaten and I agreed. Then when we finished the food we paid the bills and the bills weren't really expensive. So I recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to have great food, great decor, great customer service, and great prices.
Just tried out Indian Kitchen for the first time. I was a little hesitant at first because of the lousy decor or should I say nil decor and the zero ambiance. But it turned out to have excellent food. We had the butter chicken, palak paneer, basmati rice, naan and a curried potato dish and it was delicious! My children (9 years and 6 years old) were still talking about how much they enjoyed it. I would definitely go back there for the food.
I am of South Indian descent and my boyfriend is Canadian, we have been to this restaurant for dinner a couple of times, and have always enjoyed the food. We especially love sitting outside during the spring/summer. The couple who owns the restaurant is friendly and provide great service. We have tried a number of their dishes including the chicken and seafood, and it has been nothing but a delicious experience.
Food was ok, but very small portions. You have to order and pay for rice and naan bread separately for your entree This turned out to be extremely costly. We should have taken the hint when we saw the restaurant was completely void of customers on such a busy day at the beach. Won't bother ever going back. Go there if you have money to burn
Ive only been to 3 E. Indian restaurants, 2 in Vancouver, now this. We were looking to eat Fish & Chips @ Coney Island, this place had replaced them obviously, we thought hmmm, E. Indian is good so well try it. Anyways, the best Ive ever had! We ate samosa's for an appy, then Butter Chicken & Chicken Tikka for the main, absolutely amazing both of them, also the Naan is great as well, they have 20 something different kinds of Naan too - a full recommendation here for sure!

Posted on 06/05/2003 12:25:04 PM PDT by RoughDobermannEdited on 04/29/2004 2:02:38 AM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
CNN) -- The Earth has become significantly greener over the past two decades, the result of climate changes that have furnished plants with more heat, light, water and carbon dioxide, according to a new Science magazine report.
The overall plant bulk went up about 6 percent over much of the planet, with spikes in the tropics and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere accounting for 80 percent of the gains, researchers said.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Uh, the years since 1980 ARE only two decades. In addition, if you look at the complete temperature history record, the 1980's and 1990's were average in temperature, not "warmest on record" (ref: "Satanic Gases", PJ Michaels and RC Balling, Page 77, Figure 5.1).
The 80's and 90's were warm?? WHERE?? The winters were COLD, it's cold now, it's JUNE and I'm TIRED OF BEING COLD. Where are MY greenhouse gasses?? I want my global warming NOW, please!!
"Losers are parts of Mexico and northern Siberia [drying and cooling, respectively]."
What? No EVIL United States, even though the EEEEEVEEEEEEEL Republicans are polluting the environment and murdering all of our trees?
But, seriously, how about this: The South American rain forest has suffered from deforestation on the edges in recent decades, but the interior sections have grown vigorously, he said.
I thought the Amazon rainforest was teetering on the verge of extinction, along with all the wildlife and plant life that reside there! And check it, folks, this report is from none other than CNN... this ain't some conservative, right-wing wacko reporting this info. How much agony do you think the editors went through in deciding to report this?
,,, save the whales, save the seals. Save anything that bloody squeals!
NOTE: Suggestion may extend to plastic bags.
April 2003: The global average temperature departure was 0.14°C; the Northern Hemisphere temperature departure was 0.25°C; and the Southern Hemisphere departure was 0.03°C.

Stefan Struve Cleared to Return, Waiting on the UFC to 'Do Their Thing'April 8, 2014
Stefan "Skyscraper" Struve has been medically cleared to resume training, and his return now hinges on the UFC's approval.
Speaking with MMAjunkie's John Morgan in Abu Dhabi ahead of UFC Fight Night: Nogueira vs. Nelson, Struve said the heart condition that led to his extended layoff from action is under control and that doctors have given him the green light to proceed with his career.
"I'm just working on the last details with the UFC right now for my clearance," Struve said, per Morgan. "They've got everything — my doctor's letter, medical files and everything. Everything is there, and we're just waiting on the UFC to do their thing."
While Struve told Morgan he expects to have surgery at some point to fully correct his condition, doctors stabilized the issue by lowering the 7-footer's blood pressure with medicine. Explaining the process and situation a bit further, Struve told Morgan:
The chamber where the aortic valve is connected is the left chamber of your heart, and that chamber was a lot bigger than it was supposed to be. A lot of that was the high blood pressure. Now they treated me for it with blood pressure medicine, and it got smaller.
Because of that, the opening where the valve is got smaller, too. Normally, when the chamber gets bigger, like often happens with athletes, the valve gets bigger, too, so that it closes.
But in my case, the opening got bigger and the valve didn't grow, so the leakage got worse and worse. But now, it's smaller again and the valve closes better.
Hearing it explained in such depth certainly illustrates the severity of Struve's situation, and one cannot exercise enough caution when dealing with an issue such as this one. For a professional athlete who subjects his body to extreme physical stress on a regular basis, Struve's predicament is nothing to take lightly.
Struve understands the necessary precautions holding him back at the moment, but his fighter's mentality remains fully intact, and he can't help but think about his return to combat.
"I want to fight," Struve told Morgan. "I'm ready to go into a training camp. I can be ready in two or three months."
To that end, Struve mentioned that since correcting the issue, he's felt better than ever. In his most recent fights, Struve told Morgan that his body was only functioning at "60 or 70 percent" of its full capacity, so when he does return to the Octagon, we can expect to see the best edition of the Skyscraper we have seen to date.
Struve currently sits at the No. 13 spot on the UFC's official heavyweight rankings, and he boasts a 9-4 record inside the Octagon, including a signature win over the current No. 7 heavyweight standout Stipe Miocic.
While he was originally billed as a traditional Dutch kickboxer when he made his UFC debut at UFC 95 against Juinor dos Santos, Struve has since shown off a well-rounded game, earning four of his nine victories by submission and four by knockout.
His lone decision victory came against Paul Buentello at UFC 107.
On the flip side, all four of Struve's UFC losses came via knockout. His propensity for finishing or being finished earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC, and his return to the cage will undoubtedly be met with eager anticipation from fans and critics alike.
Provided everything goes smoothly with his reintegration to the UFC's heavyweight roster, who would you like to see Struve face in his Octagon return?
UPDATE: Struve has now tweeted this update, stating that, while he has been cleared, there still are "a couple last things to take care of."
Reading lots that I'm already cleared. My doc in Holland cleared me but still a couple last things to take care off, so fingers crossed..— Stefan Struve (@StefanStruve) April 8, 2014

Android and Symbian will join forces soon, says analyst firm
Somebody just had to say it. Google has been blowing mighty horns about how its open-source Android smartphone OS will blow all its competitors out of the water. Nokia, meanwhile, with Symbian and access to the largest smartphone market share, is surely to make a difference when the first traces of its open-source efforts finally appear.
But since they are both vying for the same goal, why don't the two companies just merge their efforts? That's a thought.
According to an analyst firm this just might be the case, and if ever it will begin to come through within three to six months.
Together, Nokia and Google will form the largest open-source smartphone OS outfit in the world, and you can almost be certain that they will do many great things.
For one, the combination of Nokia and Google would easily expand the number of upcoming open-source applications for smartphones, as well as cut the costs in overall R&D because they will then have to work in all departments as one.
But you also have to consider the saying, "Too many cooks spoil the broth." With so many parties working together on one huge project, it isn't impossible for mayhem to ensue. If they succeed, it would be great, and almost everyone wins. But if they fail, they will fail miserably. We wouldn't want to start hearing anything to the tune of "Too many companies spoil the open-source mobile platform" now, would we?

Two federal search warrants were executed Wednesday morning , July 25, near Alexandria, as a convoy of federal, state and county law enforcement vehicles converged on the Smokerz Outlet and US 61 Oil Company (formerly FISCA) station.
Clark County Sheriff Paul Gaudette confirmed that FBI agents, along with the Clark County Sheriff's Department, Missouri Highway Patrol and North Missouri Drug Task Force were conducting a search warrant.
"This is a result of our ongoing investigation," Gaudette said.
Smokerz Outlet was previously investigated for selling synthetic drugs, commonly called "bath salts"
On Wednesday, April 4, the Clark County Sheriff's Office investigated several complaints of synthetic drugs for sale at the Smokerz Outlet in Alexandria. At that time, owners Sara Jones and Sheraz Ullah provided Guadette with lab reports from AI Biotech of Richmond, VA claiming the products were legal for sale.
Samples were taken from the store, and sent to a lab for analysis.
Federal authorities were involved at the request of Guadette.
"It had gotten pretty big, and it was better to get bigger agencies involved to save the cost to the county," Guadette said.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Sheriff's Department issued the following press release:
A Federal search warrant was executed at the Smokerz Outlet in Alexandria, MO on Wednesday July 25th at 1000am.
This was part of an ongoing investigation between the Clark County Sheriff's Office and the FBI, with assistance from several agencies of the Missouri Highway Patrol, to eliminate the sale of synthetic drugs known as "bath salts and K-2".
This search warrant was successful and more details will be released at a later date.

The New U.N. University
It's not exactly Model U.N., but since November the United Nations has given colleges a new way to work with the organization. "Academic Impact," as the initiative is known, has attracted 540 colleges and universities from around the world. How much the colleges will actually do, however, remains to be seen.
To join (which is free), all colleges must do is to demonstrate at least one "activity" -- or program -- that is consistent with Academic Impact's 10 basic principles, such as promoting human rights or encouraging global citizenship. Many colleges already have programs that meet that standard, and they can use them to fulfill the requirement. All they must do then is to submit to the U.N. a summary of how their program fits, so the U.N. can bring it before the larger Academic Impact community, and others, if they wish to, can create similar programs.
The idea, though, has been six years in the making. Then U.N. chief of the Civil Society Service, Ramu Damodaran -- who now serves as chief of Academic Impact's Secretariat -- pitched the program in 2005 during the triennial conference of the International Association of University Presidents. The idea, he explained, was to model it on the U.N. Global Compact program -- an initiative that connects thousands of businesses -- as a means for universities to exchange and swap ideas centered around values promoted by the U.N.
Attendees at the conference liked the idea, and so did U.N. officials. After his election in 2006, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made Academic Impact his personal project, culminating in the initiative's official announcement in 2008 at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Over the course of the next two years, a U.N. team led by Damodaran came up with 10 basic benchmark principles by which the program could be defined. From there, he set out to recruit as many colleges as he could to join.
The finer details of the program are still in development. "What will happen later, which we have not yet planned, is ... some sort of peer review by a group of universities of the initiatives being taken by initial members," says Damodaran. "And I think this is going to be important because I think in the beginning we will be fairly relaxed. We certainly don't want a situation where 540 universities say they observed a speech and say they fulfilled the initiative. But the U.N. has refrained from being too specific about what constitutes or what does not constitute an activity because I think that's for universities to consider and decide."
How the U.N. will collect and share the data is also still to be decided. Already though, the sharing is seeing practical results.
"Chuo University is working assiduously in water management," said Damodaran. "And I have universities that want to launch similar programs specific to their locations."
Universities have taken a range of steps to comply with Academic Impact's obligations.
Perhaps Fairleigh Dickinson sits at the top of the class. The program's most vocal advocate is the university's president, J. Michael Adams, who recently blogged an optimistic introduction to the initiative for the Huffington Post. Fairleigh Dickinson also hosts Academic Impact's website, and its president and his assistant also hold the two highest-ranking elected leadership positions in the International Association of University Presidents, Academic Impact's top partner.
Other participating colleges report minimal demands made on their time after signing up. At Macalester College, media relations manager Barbara Laskin explained that, "since joining, there has not been any further request for action, and absent that we have not engaged in any planning as to fulfilling the obligations."
After Richard Stockton College announced its membership, spokesman Tim Kelly explained that he thought his college would be able to use its existing programs to fulfill the one "activity" requirement. If so, it is unlikely much more will be done than filling out the annual submissions paperwork.
This was unsurprising to Damodaran, the initiative's overseer. "We certainly don't expect every university to come up with an immediate new program," he said. "We recognize that universities -- if they do wish to do new programs -- will take some time to evolve. But what is important is that they realize that the programs they're already doing have a specific global -- and hence a U.N. -- context."
The Santa Barbara Graduate Institute -- a small postgraduate institute formed in 2000 that takes a holistic approach to teaching -- has a different story. President Allan Hoffman explained that during a meeting in November at the U.N. headquarters in which Secretary-General Ban formally kicked off Academic Impact, he made many new contacts with other university presidents and with U.N. organizers. "We're at the early beginning at looking at students doing international work," he said. "We might have [new] experiences within our curriculum that are international-focused. The settings would be with the idea of addressing some of those issues -- peace and conflict, violence or violence prevention."
Cornell University is taking the program seriously. "In addition to prominently displaying our plan for Academic Impact on our International Gateway website, Academic Impact asks each participating college or university to actively demonstrate support of at least one of those principles each year," explained Linda Schmidt, of the international relations division. "Cornell demonstrates all of these principles, and our website addresses at least one activity under each principle. We will reach out to our academic units annually to supply new examples that showcase activities that support these principles."
Damodaran explained that the focus for 2010 was to build a member roster. With more than 500 participating universities, he feels he accomplished that. In 2011, he plans to cultivate the new relationships.

Hello, Quick (hopefully simple) question: How do you tell the difference between an Amiga and a Mac (both ppc machines) in a script ?I need to distinguish them in picking keyboards correctly in the console packages.Thanks, Alastair McKinstry
/proc/cpuinfo?The Amiga you're talking about is the classic with 680x0 or PPC accelerator, right?
I'm currently busy on a kernel for the AmigaOne with PPC 750CXe, 750FX or 7445 processors. Just so you know, there'll be another Amiga platform pretty soon. Totally incompatible hardware-wise to the classic series. We use PPCBoot (now UBoot?)
There'll be a LOT of people running Debian on these babies pretty soon. (our main OS isn't ready, and some hundred developers will have hardware within a week or two. End user release aimed at the Linux crowd is before christmas, both in G3 and G4 versions)

We want to paint our living room with "Heritage Red" which by any palette indicator says "EXT RM" which is ourdoor ? How can we use this indoors.
The Heritage Red was a ready made color that only came in an exterior semi-gloss finish. It is discontinued and no longer available and the color cannot be reproduced. Sorry!
Couldn't you provide the most similar color in a wall paint for interior. Why was this sample at my local store yesterday ?
Very disappointed.mt
The other store must have left over inventory. We've tried identifying a close color as well as recreating. Unfortunately it isn't possible with our available colorants. If we could help we would because there is definitely demand for it. Sorry we can't provide this for you.
The closest color really isn't very close.
Well thanks for the input. I will proceed to go another store with another brand. We were so hopeful becuse we loved this color and had a few reds to get samples to paint on our walls in the different light. Alas , the store did not have the correct primer, nor could they put up samples. We even went to buying quarts to test. This has been quite the run around. We do live near the Canadian Border so the stores to buy good paint such as your are few and far between.
You say there is a demand but you cannot meet it. Hmmmmm. I am sorry.
Yours, mt

Our Mission
Character is shaped by values, which are shaped by rituals, symbols and stories.
In SOIL, we have rituals such as 'Morning Circle' of Prayers and Sharing, celebrating birthdays by appreciating each person for his/her uniqueness and a regular practice of encouraging dialogue that discovers each other's' positives and expressing gratitude.
We also have symbols such as round tables in classrooms in where teachers act as 'facilitators', walls made of glass to bring in natural light and enable 'transparency', a board in the reception area on which all visitors' names are displayed to 'welcome' them and 'Rangoli' as an art made by students and staff to observe all major festivals.
We regularly hold sessions to share stories about what are the source of happiness in our lives, what enabled us to do our 'joyful best', what are the high points of our learning and examples of the five pillars of SOIL in action etc.
We involve industry and our Consortium members in designing, renewing and updating our curriculum.
Our students work on a 'Social Innovation Program' one day in a week throughout the year where they work in teams to assist NGOs in furthering their work in areas such as literacy, health, child development and environment care among others. This helps them to apply the theoretical concepts, work in teams and learn what it takes to be innovative.
Similarly, students undertake a month long internship in business organizations of repute to get real life practical experience.
In addition, they work in teams on 'live consulting projects' to assist startups and MSMEs' in solving specific problems as part of the course on 'staff consulting skills' in the last quarter of their stay at SOIL to hone industry ready skills.
These real life experiences are supplemented by course in "Whole Systems Thinking", "Strategic Decision Making", "Critical Thinking and Problem Solving", "Design Thinking and Innovation" etc. to deepen their competence.
A unique feature of learning at SOIL is a course on 'Self Leadership'. This enables every student to explore how they could lead their physical, emotional and intellectual selves so as to give off their best. They also learn to be led by their 'spiritual selves' so as to lead lives of happiness and wellbeing. An important part of this journey is their identifying their 'purpose and calling', discovering their 'gifts and strengths' and learning to leverage their positives so as to move towards what matters most to them.
The Yoga and wellness classes, the week-long trip to the Spiritual Retreat in the Himalayas, the weekly classes on Indian Wisdom and the many interactions with spiritual masters throughout the year assist students in this wonderful journey of discovering enthusiasm.

Streimikyte and Hoosier Native In EuroLeague Final Four
A week ago, Jurgita Streimikyte and Katie Douglas completed their European season as teammates with Lietuvos Telekomus (Lithuania) by finishing third in the EuroLeague Final Four. Next, theyll both return to the United States to partake in the 2005 season of the Womens National Basketball Association Douglas with the Connecticut Sun and Streimikyte in Douglas hometown with the Indiana Fever.
Streimikyte played 54 games with the Fever during the 2000 and 2001 seasons before returning to her native Lithuania to give birth to her son, Tomas, prior to the 2002 season. In May, she returns to Indiana for her third season with the WNBAs Fever. She will make Indiana her summer home while her EuroLeague teammate Douglas plies her trade with the Fevers Eastern Conference rival.
It will be Streimikytes first WNBA summer in three years. And shell have an entire team of new teammates as only two players Tamika Catchings and Kelly Schumacher were members of the Fever the last time Streimikyte donned an Indiana uniform. Catchings and Schumacher both were rookies during the summer of 2001 and Catchings, injured late during her final college season, never played a game that season.
The Fevers Lithuanian star agreed to contract terms with Indiana COO and General Manager Kelly Krauskopf in February, but that was with work still to do in her current European season.
Streimikyte averaged 15.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists during 17 EuroLeague contests. Douglas, her Hoosier native teammate who prepped at Perry Meridian High School and later starred at Purdue University, led all EuroLeague scorers in 2004-05 with 20.4 points per game. Douglas also paced Lietuvos with 7.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists, leading Streimikyte in each category.
Between November and March each year, each European team plays a domestic and regional schedule separate from the EuroLeague that pits Europes best teams head-to-head, mostly on weekends. Upon conclusion of each teams national and regional schedules, the EuroLeague playoffs take center stage. This year, the Streimikyte and Douglas-led Lithuanians surged past most of Europes best womens teams to reach the Final Four.
The Streimikyte-Douglas combination proved a successful one as they guided Lietuvos to its most decorated season in history. With Douglas playing her first season in Streimikytes hometown of Vilnius, Lietuvos won its Lithuanian championship, and won the Baltic Basketball League title for a sixth straight season. It advanced to the EuroLeague Final Four for the first time in franchise history when Lietuvos defeated Moscow Dynamo, 2-1, in a best-of-three game quarterfinal series.
In fact, it was Streimikyte and Douglas who led the dramatic surge in the final game against Dynamo, combining to score the final eight points of the game and leading Lietuvos from an eight-point deficit. Douglas finished the game with 15 points and eight rebounds. Streimikyte added 11 points and seven boards. Key WNBA stars playing for Dynamo included Elena Baranova (New York), Sue Bird (Seattle), Mwadi Mabika (Los Angeles) and Kamila Vodichkova (Phoenix).
On April 22, Lietuvos fell 66-58 to tournament-host Samara, Russia, in the semifinals, losing to the eventual champions who became the first EuroLeague team since 1995 to finish an entire season undefeated. Samara won 18 consecutive games en route to the title, and jumped to a 19-9 lead in the semis. Lietuvos fought within four points late in the game, but never got closer. Douglas led Lietuvos with 17 points, eight rebounds and six steals. Streimikyte added 12 points and four rebounds.
In a third-place game on April 24, Lietuvos overcame a sluggish first quarter to defeat MiZo Pecs of Hungary. After trailing 34-27 at the intermission, the third quarter belonged to the Lithuanians. Streimikyte tied the game at 42-42, and a third 3-pointer by Rima Valentiene gave Lietuvos its first lead of the game. Lietuvos surged ahead to a 10-point advantage in the final quarter, and won the game 66-58. Douglas again led Lietuvos with 19 points. After a poor first half, Streimikyte scored 12 second-half points to finish with 16.
Just more than two weeks after joining forces to claim the greatest finish in the Lithuanian franchises history, Streimikyte and Douglas each will have entered their next training camp, this time on opposing sides in the WNBA with Streimikyte now playing in Douglas hometown of Indianapolis.

I read about two things obsessively: basketball and content marketing. So when I explain how metrics should be used in content marketing, I often wind up talking about the Miami Heat and their data-crazy young coach, Erik Spoelstra.
There's a good chance you already know about LeBron James. But without Spoelstra, the Heat may have never won anything.
Long story short, everyone expected the Heat to dominate from the get-go when James joined the team in 2010, forming a superstar trio with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. But they struggled to play cohesively, and it took time for their coaches and players to evaluate what strategy worked best for their personnel. Eventually they won two championships and made four straight trips to the NBA Finals, but the team wasn't a dynasty from day one. They had great players from the start, but they needed to learn how to optimize.
Coach Spoelstra was the one who got them thinking about data the right way. The young coach, an infamous data cruncher, turned to advanced stats to understand what went wrong—and what the Heat could do to get over the hump. While the story of the Heat usually focuses on James, the unsung star was Spoelstra—the nerdy, lanky coach who would blend right in at a marketing conference. He used smart analytics to tweak his strategy on the fly, giving the Heat the advantage they needed to rise to the top. He was half coach, half data scientist, and always looking for new ways to succeed.
To execute a successful content marketing operation, you need to embrace your inner Erik Spoelstra. Because for all the talk about "big data," many marketers still struggle to translate numbers into action. Part of that struggle is not knowing which metrics matter, but the other part is not doing the work on a daily basis to create the most successful content possible. If the Heat were coached by a stubborn, old-school guy who just stuck with a preconceived plan, there's a good chance James would have left South Beach without a title. Likewise, content marketers who stubbornly stick to their preconceived content strategies will never reach their full potential.
The good news: It's easier than ever to make smart, data-driven decisions. When armed with the right tools and an understanding of how to measure content in a way that reflects your goals, you can create a powerful system that keeps driving your content marketing forward.
Continuous improvement is a challenge that every publisher faces today. The hard truth is that even after you've done everything we've covered in our first four playbooks—evangelizing a content program,crafting a content strategy, staffing and launching a publication, and putting an audience-growth plan into action—you still need to get better day after day.
At Contently, it's a challenge we've tackled internally as well as with hundreds of brand and media clients. Over the past few years, we've come up with a solution, one that has the very executive-friendly acronym of C.E.O.: create, engage, optimize. Contently co-founder Shane Snow likes to visualize it with what he calls the flywheel (yes, it's actually a pinwheel, but flywheel sounds so much cooler):
The premise is simple. If you want to continuously improve the quality of your content and grow your audience, you need a secret weapon that tells you what content to create, how to effectively distribute it, how to measure the success of each piece, and then how to use those conclusions to fuel your next round of publishing.
We're here to give you that secret weapon. In this playbook, we'll cover exactly what metrics you need to use, then explain how to use those metrics so you're continuously employing them to create better content and engage your audience in the most effective way possible. Download it below.

South Ga. Nole
Went to the lake this weekend and tried surfing behind my new x-25. Sort of new to the surfing thing so we were not sure how to set up the boat. Had surf tabs set for the port side and port and center ballast full and wake plate at about 40%. We had what looked like a decent wave but we kept falling back. I have a cwb ride board and I am 6.0 185. We were surfing around 10 mph. Is this set-up right or does anyone have any suggestions? Also is this board worth a flip? It was cheap and I think I should have spent a little more for a nicer board. The older I get the more I enjoy the surfing. Wakeboarding hurts more an more every year! Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't think it actually does matter. I also know that Larry McVoy measured the overhead of randomizing RPC XIDs (and PIDs, and a number of other things that OpenBSD randomizes) and concluded that it was quite large, for the net benefit (which I believe he correctly characterized as small or, in some cases, nonexistent). I do not believe such changes should be committed to NetBSD without extensive discussion. "Because OpenBSD does it" is not the same thing as "this is necessary to avoid a security issue". There is definitely some amount of cargo-cult "security" going on over there, along with all the genuinely useful and innovative work. Thor

Despite Underwhelming Combine, Michael Sam Has as an NFL Future as Edge-RusherFebruary 24, 2014
Michael Sam took the field on Monday morning at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine and frankly, he didn't have a strong performance.
While NFL general managers, scouts and head coaches weren't necessarily expecting him to test amazingly well in the 40-yard dash or in the on-field drills, Sam's numbers were disappointing compared to his peers.
Here's a look at his official combine numbers:
|Michael Sam's Combine Results
|Arm Length
|40-Yard Dash
|10-Yard Split
|Vertical Jump
|Broad Jump
|33 1/8"
|25 1/2"
The most glaring knock on Sam's performance was his lack of explosion, which is vital for a pass-rusher at the NFL level.
For perspective on his 1.72 10-yard split—which, for an edge player is much more telling than the full 40-yard dash—Syracuse defensive lineman Jay Bromley had the same split at 6'3" and 306 pounds.
Princeton defensive tackle Caraun Reid, who measured in at 6'2", 302 pounds, had a 10-yard split of 1.69 seconds.
But obsession over combine numbers—good or bad—isn't the proper way to go about the scouting process.
However, quite simply, Sam's lack of burst while donning Under Armour gear on Lucas Oil Stadium's turf solidified what he routinely demonstrated on film.
Greg A. Bedard of Monday Morning Quarterback wrote an extensive profile on Sam after watching 12 Missouri games from the 2013 season.
This was his conclusion:
Sam was a good player for one season in college. He was productive, so the accolades he received were earned. A majority of his production came in three games against inferior competition without a need to show much of a pass-rushing repertoire—it's difficult to project a position for him on the next level.
Bedard went on to write, "Sam would project to be no better than a mid- to late-round pick. He could go undrafted. To my eyes Sam is decidedly average, with nothing exceptional about his game."
Sam's NFL Fit
So where does Sam fit in the NFL? Does he fit in the NFL?
To answer the latter question—yes, he does. There's a place for him, as a situational "edge-rusher." The quotation marks are necessary, because he can fit as a 3-4 outside linebacker, although many believe his limited athleticism and relatively stiff hips mean he won't be able to cover in space.
While he very well may struggle when asked to and drop into an assigned zone after the snap, consider this from Pro Football Focus' Steve Palazzolo:
A reminder that most 3-4 OLBs only drop into coverage a handful of times per game. Nice skill to have, not a deal breaker.— Steve Palazzolo (@StevePalazzolo) February 24, 2014
Manny Lawson of the Buffalo Bills, Connor Barwin of the Philadelphia Eagles and Calvin Pace of the New York Jets were the only 3-4 outside linebackers who dropped into coverage more than 200 times during the regular season in 2013, according to Pro Football Focus (subscription required).
The 26 3-4 outside linebackers who played at least 50 percent of their respective team's defensive snaps this past year averaged rushing the passer on a robust 81.61 percent of their plays.
Furthermore, all but three 3-4 outside linebackers were asked to rush the quarterback on at least 75 percent of their defensive snaps.
While having "coverage skills" and the ability to move somewhat fluidly in space is much more important for an outside linebacker playing in a 3-4 scheme than a defensive end in a 4-3 alignment, 3-4 outside linebackers don't cover receivers, tight ends and running backs very often.
To give Sam the opportunity to potentially draw tight ends and fullbacks as blockers instead of left or right tackles, a stand-up 3-4 outside linebacker position might suit his limited skill set best.
Then again, he could play defensive end in a 4-3 defense, too.
At 6'2", 261 pounds, Sam's legitimately a "tweener" strictly from a size perspective.
But more critical than his label or specific scheme fit is the frequency in which he should see the field. He's not big or strong enough at the point of attack to man any edge defensive line position on run downs or for long stretches.
To maximize his effectiveness, Sam must be utilized as a situational pass-rusher only. Right now, he exclusively uses the speed rush to get to the quarterback and, due to his smaller size and ability to bend and rip, on some occasions he can create disruption.
Also, because Sam will likely be taken after the third round, he needs to be willing to pay his NFL dues as a special-teamer to begin his career.
He isn't a refined pass-rusher, he has a hybrid defender's body and isn't a very dynamic athlete.
But he plays with a high motor and demonstrated the ability to dip around the edge to pressure the quarterback in the SEC this past season.
Michael Sam should stick on an NFL roster as a sub-package edge-rusher—that type of player won't be going out of style any time soon.

WASH (Water, Hygeine and Sanitation) for Muanacha
"Today, I am a very happy woman. My children , other women and children in the community, will not suffer anymore with the problem of water scarcity and poor hygiene. We [now] have a borehole here that is 100 meters from my house, where fetching water and the return home takes only 10 to 15 minutes. This borehole makes a big change in my life because I have more water available with good quality close to my house. This saves time that I can now use to work on my farm. My plot of land has increased and I'm producing a greater variety of foods to sell and buy other products such as clothing, soap, sugar, oil and more. Now I have more time to talk with neighbors, participate in other activities, and take better care of my children. If there is drought or heavy rains, we know we have safe water to drink. I also now have a [covered] latrine and place to wash [improved hand washing station] which has improved my family's health."
–Muanacha Ossufo Mucoroma, Mukuvula

We have started our debrief today, with 156 team members and 32 leaders. We praise God that all the teams are in good health. The teams have worked very hard on their projects! They have weeded the maize, painted the units, built the shelters for Motorcycle Sunday School Mission, and many other things.
The past few days our teams have been on the projects, they have gone out for evangelism, and many lives have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Our total EV results are 241 people!
Today we had a representative from Gideon international and gave out the Bibles to our orphans in our debrief. All the team members were given the New Testaments and the leaders were given the New and Old Testament Bibles. He promised to provide us with information on how we can access the Bibles from the Gideons. What a blessing!
Pray for our debrief, that God may prepare our team members and leaders to go home and shine for Jesus. Pray for safety on the roads as we will be taking the team members home. Pray that God may renew our strength as we finish the boot camps and look to the many works which await us as soon as we finish the boot camp.
Once again, we can never thank you enough for the opportunity you have given us to to serve. We have this rare chance to minister to our own people and to bring Jesus to the unbelievers in our country. You have always worked hard in ensuring that our ministry here in Zambia is running. On behalf of babies that could have died without Mother's Seminar, people that would have died without Malaria medicine and the lives that have been changed from Boot Camp, I say thank you. Be encouraged, because your hard work for the Lord is not in vain. WE ARE NOTHING BUT PENCILS IN HAND OF THE CREATOR!

Just to clarify, does this trope cover characters that are like the fan service lightning rods (being servicey so no one else has to)? Common, I think, in some of the less fan servicey animes.
03:33:23 AM Oct 31st 2015
A question for Trope Talk I'd say.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer (rim shot) but I'm guessing you can't just put some girl with a pretty face under this, right? If not is there a trope for someone who has a pretty face?
02:05:46 PM Aug 23rd 2014
"Also, "Pretty face" is not a trope in and of itself." as I said. Maybe Fetish Fuel.

Would Yuffie from Final Fantasy VII count? I've noticed some things about her that I think could land her here, such as her skimpy, midriff revealing outfits and some of her poses. I just want your opinion on this.
01:29:44 AM Jul 14th 2014
Given the redefinition that was discussed in the repair shop, methinks you'd have to demonstrate that she offers the most fanservice out of all characters.

I read it. since when did the subject of fanservice become so controversial?? Geez! It's starting to become as bad as all that Complete Monster crap that people keep brining up! But you gotta admit; she actually is rather hot
01:41:55 AM Jul 16th 2014
Well, why would I consider her hot? I haven't played the game. Also, the reason fanservice tropes attract so much controversy is because of people shoehorning poor examples in.
11:53:47 PM Jul 16th 2014
I only see a fighter woman. Nothing hot about her. It may qualify as Ms. Fanservice but that is not sufficient evidence.

I don't think Yuffie applies when Tifa "Hot pants, a midriff-bearing tanktop, and suspenders are the best combat gear. By the way my boobs are massive" Lockhart exists. EDIT: Sorry, my bad. It's a miniskirt. That's about the length of hot pants.

Just be careful there. I just wanted to know about if Yuffie would fit, not start a flame war between Yuffie fans and Tifa fans. Not that that's happened so far, but... you know. Anyway, Even if she doesn't quite belong, she's still obviously Hotter and Sexier in Dirge of Cerberus. Maybe not quite to the point of Fanservice, but...

Do we need to re-work the description for Ms. Fanservice?
12:07:11 AM Nov 6th 2013
Not so much "re-work" than "clarify". And for courtesy's sake, a link to the forum discussion that started this. Regarding the example of Highschool of the Dead that you put forth... I personally think each of the protagonist group's girls qualifies as a Ms. Fanservice, with the caveat that Shizuka (the teacher) is more or less an Exaggerated Trope version of Ms. Fanservice when compared to the rest.
09:01:22 AM Nov 13th 2012
"Please note that there is no requirement to actually be single to fit into this trope. Many of these characters are married." Isn't part of the whole point of the "Ms." honorific that it's neutral to marital status?
05:31:48 PM Mar 10th 2012
Seems like people are using this mostly for "I think this character is hot," really. (although at least on the video games page some of the examples are definitely *meant* to be fanservice. *ahem* Miranda. I don't know about other pages.)
05:49:00 PM Mar 10th 2012
Well, I can't speak for all the examples, though it does seem like a few examples go a bit too far, like the writer was getting turned on just thinking about it. Still, if there's specific examples you think aren't MEANT to be "Ms. Fanservice" by the creators of the work, delete it, and PUT IN A REASON. If there's a dispute, someone can re-add it and explain why it should be there. If a Edit War ensues, take it to the repair shop.
04:53:34 AM Sep 16th 2011
Am I the only one who thinks that we need a {{Ms. Fan Disservice}} Trope?
01:42:08 PM Oct 14th 2011
I believe we have such a trope in the form of Gonk.

What is the Wheel Stud all about?
When a tire is taken off of a vehicle to change it, the lug nuts are unfastened from the wheel studs. The wheel studs make it easier to mount a tire because they hold the tire in place instead of requiring a person to line up the holes and insert a bolt.
Wheel studs come in two types: screw-in and press-in studs. Screw-in studs are screwed into a threaded hole in the vehicle hub. Press-in studs are installed from the back of the hub with the larger section splined so that it doesn't rotate. When a wheel stud breaks or is damaged, the stability of the tire is compromised. If more than one stud breaks, it can cause the tire to wobble and make steering and driving difficult and unsafe.
Keep in mind:
- Wheel studs can either be damaged or stripped.
- Wheel studs that are installed incorrectly can cause the lug nut to fall off.
- It is possible to break the wheel studs if the lug nuts are tightened too much, which usually only happens if a power tool is used.
- If the lug nuts are too loose, the wheel can slam back and forth during braking and acceleration, which could also damage the wheel studs.
How it's done:
- The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands and wheel is removed
- The hub is removed and defective studs are replaced
- The hub is reinstalled and tire is reinstalled
- The vehicle is removed from the jack stands
- The vehicle is road tested for proper operation
Our recommendation:
The wheel studs and all wheel parts should be inspected as a part of regular maintenance and during a tire rotation. In addition, you should check them when you change a flat tire or switch out your tires for any reason. If the wheel studs are damaged or worn, have them replaced by one of our expert mechanics to prevent damage to the vehicle.
What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Wheel Stud?
- Stud spins instead of holding in place
- One or more wheel studs is broken off or bent
- Threads are warped
How important is this service?
If the wheel studs break or warp, they will not hold the tire in place, which will cause it to wobble. The tire could fall off or blow out, causing an accident. Wheel studs should be inspected as part of regular maintenance, and replaced as soon as they are determined to be faulty.

Chorus of beeping phones alerts nation
Page Tools
The text message read: "High security alert, what's happening?"
Hari Prasad Chaurasia, a world-renowned Indian flautist, does not usually have trouble holding his audience, but on Monday night many of his listeners were surreptitiously working their mobile phones. For many, the security alert texts were the first indicator that Nepalese political culture was about to turn on its head.
The after-concert reception, hosted by the Indian embassy, was abuzz with speculation about what the troop build-up on the streets might mean. The 400-strong crowd included the Deputy Prime Minister and six cabinet members, senior army officers and newspaper editors. The chief of Nepal's army had been expected but did not appear.
On Tuesday the Indian ambassador kept an 8.30 am appointment with the Prime Minister, Sher Bahadur Deuba, at his official residence. He sensed something was up when there were no guards. The Prime Minister told him: "It's over now for me". It is the second time in three years he has been sacked by the king.
At 10 am the king began his proclamation to the nation. He would speak for 35 minutes, endorsing multi-party democracy and then dissolving the government, committing to uphold human rights and then saying "it would be unfair to put the state and the terrorists on the same footing". He applauded the independent press, but imposed a six-month blackout on discussion of this week's events. Twenty minutes into his speech the phone grid was shut down.
In Nepal, the people have not read the Maoists' "utter denunciation" of the king's proclamation, only the glowing report that "King administers shock therapy to prostrate nation".
The army has feigned ignorance of the king's plans, saying it was as surprised as anyone by the announcement and had just followed orders. However, the movement of troops into Kathmandu and the precision with which the communications network was shut down, politicians were placed under house arrest, and international airport was locked down reflect careful planning.
There is private discussion about the leader in this dance with autocracy. "The army and the king have a symbiotic relationship," said a western observer.

FIFA World Cup Qualifying: Ghana 2 Zambia 1
Ghana secured their place in the final round of CAF qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup with a tense 2-1 win over Zambia on Friday.
Kwesi Appiah's side headed into the game one point ahead of their Group D rivals in the race for the only qualification spot into the next stage, but knew that defeat would end their prospects of reaching next year's finals in Brazil.
Marseille attacker Andre Ayew was named in the Ghana starting XI, the 23-year-old featuring for the national team for the first time in six months after taking temporary leave from international football.
However, the hosts had to cope without attacking midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng, who was unable due to injury, while Southampton striker Emmanuel Mayuka - on loan at Sochaux - started up front for Zambia.
Zambia had yet to lose a game in qualifying going into the contest at Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi, but it was Ghana who were in control for the most part.
Goals from Majeed Waris and Kwadwo Asamoah gave them the advantage before Emmanuel Mbola pulled one back late on.
The hosts broke the deadlock with their first real chance of the game after 17 minutes, Waris heading in at the near post after Rennes defender John Boye had shown great determination to chase a seemingly lost cause and lift the ball back into the Spartak Moscow striker's path.
Ghana gained confidence after going ahead, and Appiah's men twice went close to doubling their advantage, Waris heading wide before Asamoah Gyan forced Kennedy Mweene into a fine save with a fierce effort from long range.
Zambia failed to create anything of real note in a below-par first-half performance, and they were fortunate not to fall further behind when Wakaso Mubarak sent a free-kick inches wide of the post from the edge of the area.
Herve Renard's side - who won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2012 - looked to try and haul their way back into the game in the early stages of the second half, substitute Fwayo Tembo drawing a save from home goalkeeper Fatau Dauda.
However, the visitors' hopes of qualification seemed to have been extinguished 16 minutes into the second period as Asamoah found the bottom corner with a vicious effort from distance that left Mweene with no chance.
Zambia refused to lie down, though, and gave themselves half a chance 13 minutes later as Emmanuel Mbola rifled home from the edge of the box to fray the nerves of the home fans.
Renard's men pushed tirelessly to attempt to find a leveller and keep their hopes of progression alive, but their efforts proved to no avail as Ghana held on to clinch their spot in the final round, where they will meet one of the other qualifiers in a two-leg play-off for a place in the finals.
