Once again, the issue has been clarified beyond a shadow of a doubt and is easily available. Get off you lazy arse and find it.
As for all of the rights latest alleged 'facts' it's more straw grasping from the alternative universe known as Bull **** Land. It's a land where Obama's citizenship is in question, Global Warming is a hoax, legitimate rape cannot result in pregnancy, asking that birth control be covered like all other prescription drugs makes a woman a slut, poor people caused the housing collapse, gay rights are special rights, end of life care equals euthanasia and personal responsibility applies to black people, poor people, and immigrants exclusively. To get that world you need to wear blinders, pray at the alter of FOX news and click your heels and say if I think it is, it is, you sniff at the ass of Rush Limbaugh and breath deeply every time he emits noxious gas and call it the unvarnished truth.
Yet no one cares but you and your fellow libs who are trying to bait conservatives and some idiots on the radio. If you didin't bring it up nobody would be discussing it here because we were actually discussing things that happened this month leading up to a big election.
I didn't realize that all prescription drugs are free with no copays. We know you aren't bright and you make up stuff alot but everytimr you post it is confirmed and reinforced.
By the way the Obama/Kenya stuff began with Obama himself. His own publisher used the following as his bio-
Now if a guy runs around in his youth claiming to have been born in Kenya, then today we find out he was born in Hawaii you think the blame falls on the folks that believed the first tale? You probably also think that Elizabeth Warren is a Cherokee Indian.
That book jacket put out by Obama's publishing agent has already been explained as a typographical error. Now, most typos are typically misspellings or something like using "there" instead of "their," but I can easily see accidentally typing "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia" when you really meant "born in Hawaii and raised in America." Honest mistake.
I think it was more like the Liz Warren thing where a young Barack basically thought the idea of having been born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia added to his mystique. He was selling himself as some sort of international renaissance man. It was about selling books at that time.
That would be accurate if the republicans here at Jets Insider were a representative sample of republicans throughout the country.
If you took a poll of republicans outside of the north east corridor what percentage would respond that they question the legal birth place of the president?

Is thread relevant now? Does the fact he wasn't born in Kenya actually help his re-election chances? This is a non-issue - am surprised a liberal-leaning poster would actually drag this one up again unless it was to deflect from Obama's less than stellar performance in the recent debate. That's the only reason I can think of for a thread like this.
Obama is Wall Streets empty suit. Why else would they give him so much
money? Why else would he put the foxes in charge of the hen house?
Go ahead, get hot and bothered and vote, you had your voice. Same results.
I marvel at the energy expended by people who consider themselves sane on
the "left" and the "right" over the political outcomes. Sanchez sucks.

My parent's are in town and I'm loving it! Nothing better than to spend some bonding time with food over at Yakimix! Went a bit crazy over the unlimited supply of salmon!
Although I was pretty upset that I wasn't able to attend the SM accessories fashion show over at Cebu last night since all of my friends know that I am such a SM lover when it comes to shopping but I was glad to have spent it instead with my cousins and relatives last night. It was a combined celebration of everyone who was and will be celebrating their birthdays! Fun night! Again no pictures since last night was so intense when we got down to playing with a bowl and some dices. I swear.. My family here gives the moon dice festival a new name! I love it! :)

Casey Stoner took the honours in the Italian MotoGP Grand Prix yesterday to move top of the standings and end Valentino Rossi's long reign at his home race.
The Australian Ducati rider, who started second on the grid, held his nerve on the 23 laps after riders had to switch bikes when rainy skies cleared and new tyres were needed. "It was a difficult race. I thought more than once that the chance to win had gone," Stoner said.
Previous championship leader Jorge Lorenzo, who fell in practice and made a terrible start from pole position, recovered to finish second on his Yamaha and now trails Stoner by four points.
World champion Rossi, who had been bidding for an eighth straight win in Italy, came in third after changing to hard tyres with 13 laps to go rather than softs like many rivals. "I'd won seven in a row so that's OK," he said.

Gracias Choir Easter Cantata exceeds hype

The exciting Gracias Choir
If last years performance of the Gracias Choir at the Easter Cantata could be described as the best, then there would not be any superlative left to describe Wednesdays edition of the concert at the Accra International Conference Center.
The mood at Wednesdays Gracias Choir Easter Cantata was rather a solemn one due to the shocking and unfortunate death of the first gentleman of the land, John Evans Mills. The show itself which was dedicated to the memory of late President saw the orchestra wearing an all black outfit.
On the night, the Gracias Choir showed just why they have become so popular and esteemed among Ghanaians. The show started with an opera rendition of some of the classical Twi songs by the choir which is predominantly made up of South Korean as well as nationals from the USA, Mexico among other countries.
The choir re-enacted the crucifixion of Jesus Christ which was beautifully woven into soothing melodious tunes from the backing orchestra.
The reenactment detailed Jesus Last Supper with his disciples, when he was betrayed by Judas, his trial by Pontius Pilate and the crowning moment when he was nailed to the cross. Through out these scenes, the special effects such as the lighting and sound were top notched leaving the patrons at the AICC amazed.
The costumes for the reenactment were equally spot on as it reflected the roman times when the incident really took place.
The well-rehearsed reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ left most patrons at the conference center teary as the mood in the packed auditorium was already somber. Some patrons of the concert could not hold back their tears.
When the final nail was driven into the feet of Jesus, and the cross was erected, there was a loud silence in the packed hall. His last words were it is finished but the concert was far from over.
As the body of Jesus was deposited at the tomb, the earth quake that followed on the third and his subsequent resurrection was what really drew a standing ovation from the audience. A well deserved one at that.
Patrons of the concert Myjoyonline.com spoke to intimated they really had the value for every penny they paid for as the show exceeded their expectations.
Some patrons enquired when the crew would be in Ghana again.

India's Generics-Big Pharma Battle Drops Drug Prices, Raises Legal Debate20/05/2012 by Patralekha Chatterjee for Intellectual Property Watch 11 CommentsShare this Story:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)IP-Watch is a non-profit independent news service, and depends on subscriptions. To access all of our content, please subscribe now. You may also offer additional support with your subscription, or donate.The escalating battle between Big Pharma and India's generic drug manufacturers is pushing down medicine prices in one of the world's fastest growing pharmaceutical markets. German drug major Bayer AG is currently pitted against two of India's leading generic drug manufacturers – the Mumbai-based Cipla Ltd and the Hyderabad-based Natco Pharma Ltd. Both are selling a key cancer drug at a fraction of the price of Bayer's branded version and both are fighting a legal battle against Bayer.On 28 July 2011, Natco filed an application before the Controller General of Patents for grant of compulsory licence (CL) for Bayer's patented drug Sorafenib, which was granted in March."After hearing both parties, the Controller General granted the CL to our company for Bayer's patented product on 12 March 2012 .This is the first ever compulsory licence being granted in India. Natco can now manufacture and sell Sorafenib in India, even before the expiry of the patent for the said product The patent is valid up to 2020," Adi Narayana, company secretary at Natco, told Intellectual Property Watch.Bayer holds an Indian patent for the chemotherapy drug sorafenib tosylate, which it manufactures under the trade name Nexavar. The drug is used to treat liver and kidney cancer. Section 84 of the Indian Patents Act provides that an interested person may apply for a compulsory licence to work the patented invention on any of following grounds: that the reasonable requirements of the public with respect to the patented invention have not been satisfied; that the patented invention is not available to the public at a reasonably affordable price; or that the patented invention has not been worked in the territory of India.While granting the CL to Natco, the Patent Controller imposed certain conditions. This includes that the price of the drug for a pack of 120 tablets shall not exceed Rs.8,880 (US$163), and the licence is non-exclusive and non-assignable. In addition, Natco must pay royalty at the rate of 6 per cent on net sales, manufacture on its own and sell only in India, and supply the drug free of cost to 600 needy and deserving patients each year, Narayana said.The landmark decision of the Indian Patent Controller has brought down the costs of the medicine by 97 per cent. Bayer's branded drug costs Rs 280,000 ($5,128) for a month's treatment (120 tablets).Unsurprisingly, the ruling was not to Bayer's liking. In an emailed statement to Intellectual Property Watch last week, Bayer spokesperson Alok Pradhan reiterated the company's position, "We strongly disagree with the conclusions of the Patent Controller of India and have appealed his order on May 4th 2012 with the Intellectual Property Appellate Board.""We will rigorously continue to defend our intellectual property rights which are a prerequisite for bringing innovative medicines to patients," Pradhan said. "The challenges faced by the Indian healthcare system have little or nothing to do with patents on pharmaceutical products as all products on India's essential drug list are not patented. Rather, the order of the Patent Controller of India damages the international patent system and endangers pharmaceutical research."Bayer stresses that to facilitate access for patients to innovative treatments, it has had a Patient Access Programme in place since the launch of Nexavar in India in 2008. Bayer says that this programme, last expanded in April 2012, reduces the price for the monthly treatment with Nexavar for qualified persons to about a tenth of the regular pharmacy price (Rs 280,000 or $5,128) for the complete duration of treatment.However, the number of patients benefitting from Bayer's Patient Assistance Programme in India is not known.On 18 May, the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) in Chennai fixed 21 August 2012 for hearing the petition of Bayer against the compulsory licence granted to Natco for manufacturing the patent protected anti-cancer drug, Nexavar.Bayer-CiplaIn another blow to Bayer AG this month, Cipla Ltd, the Mumbai-headquartered generic drug maker, led by the legendary Dr Yusuf Hamied, also decided to slash the price of its generic version of Sorafenib by nearly 76 per cent. Cipla is offering the drug at Rs.6,840 ($125) for 120 tablets, even cheaper than Natco. Cipla has also announced that it will be reducing the prices of its other cancer drugs. Hamied said he is reducing prices on humanitarian grounds.Health advocates and cancer patients are happy that the fight between the big brand-name pharmaceutical producers and local generic drug makers is making cancer drugs cheaper. The vast majority of Indians don't have any form of health insurance and out of pocket payments continue to be among the highest in the world. Cancer has also become one of the ten leading causes of death in India today. It is estimated that there are nearly 2 – 2.5 million cancer cases at any given point in time in the country."The provision of compulsory licensing, which is given in the WTO TRIPS [World Trade Organization Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights] agreement is included in Indian legislation as well, but that provision had never been applied in practice. As a precedent, this is a great achievement for India's public health," Nata Menabde, WHO representative to India told Forbes (India) magazine recently.Some intellectual property analysts, however, strike a cautionary note. "The Govt. needs to carefully consider the tradeoffs between making vital medicines available at a reasonable cost and important IP issues …" blogged Molika Gupta of the Indian Institute of Patent and Trademark Attorney, a Delhi-based agency which conducts training programmes and research in the area of intellectual property. The United States Trade Representative has placed India, along with a number of other countries, on the Priority Watch List in its latest report.Bayer says it has not consented to let Cipla launch generic Sorafenib, that Nexavar patent is valid until 2020 and has taken Cipla to court. The next hearing is set for 14 August 2012.Meanwhile, in its 37-page appeal to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board, Bayer has "demanded the withdrawal of the country's first compulsory license given to Natco Pharma, arguing that a three-fourths reduction in the price of the anti-cancer drug by another Indian firm has made the permit redundant and its patent itself is vulnerable to being revoked," the Economic Times, India's leading business newspaper, reported on 19 May. Bayer says CIPLA's new price "will render Natco's price unreasonable and defeat the purpose of compulsory licensing," according to the newspaper.Pratibha Singh, Cipla's lawyer, told Intellectual Property Watch: "The suit for infringement of patent qua Sorafenib as filed by Bayer against Cipla [CS(OS) No. 523/2010] is pending adjudication before the Delhi High Court. A counterclaim challenging the validity of Bayer's patent has been filed by Cipla in the suit. The suit is at the stage of trial and the cross examination of Bayer's witnesses is to take place."In 2010, India's top judicial authority had dismissed Bayer's attempt to block the Indian drug regulator from allowing Cipla to launch a low-cost version of its patented cancer medicine."The matter, which went up to the Supreme Court was pertaining to the issue of presence of 'patent linkage' in India. However, in light of the fact that a suit for patent infringement had been instituted by Bayer against Cipla, the same was dismissed," Singh told Intellectual Property Watch."What is important, though," Singh said, "is the fact that the finding of the single judge and the division bench of the Delhi High Court qua the concept of patent linkage not being prevalent in India was not disturbed."Will access and affordability disputes around patented medicines become more frequent or will India's generics industry force Big Pharma to make cancer drugs more affordable? Will there be more compulsory licences being issued? It is hard to say at this stage. Brazil, Canada, Thailand, Australia and Korea have issued CLs in the past.Share this Story:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)RelatedPatralekha Chatterjee may be reached at email@example.com."India's Generics-Big Pharma Battle Drops Drug Prices, Raises Legal Debate" by Intellectual Property Watch is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

Aww My jew boy wants to date Me!
by Princess Mindy
Yesterday was such a super day… First of all it was hot out for the first time this year so I went and spent much of the day out of the house… I went shopping and bought the cutest big white sun hat from the Tommy Hilfiger shop, then went and had Bellini's and appetizers on the patio which was soooooo nice and relaxing! On my way home I stopped by UPS and picked up MORE PREZZIES *yay-spoiled Me!* and the sports store to get some hand, elbow and knee pads for when I go rollerblading , which I just stared doing again!
Upon coming home I did have some stress with this pathetic loser script I bought for one of my newest projects… anyway while bitching on twitter one of my addicts messaged me on yahoo and asked if he could pay me back for the shit script I had and the stress it was causing me… aww how sweet BUT the devil is a devil and if you give me an inch, or offer it, I want a mile… SO not only did I allow him to cough up the sexy 100$ for the script I allowed him to send me 400$! Extra for my troubles hahaha! Im so nice eh!
I told him Id thank him with a super sexy photo… so I sent him a sexy large photo of my dirty panties! He was so grateful! hahahaha
Later in the evening when I was going to bed I had a call on niteflirt… I was going to ignore it but on the last ring I decided Id take the call. Im glad I did too… it was my jewish addict! This guy is such a dumb ass lol he loves for me to taunt and humiliate him at the same time… in fact I said a big trigger to him, on sheer accident the very first time we spoke and now hes hooked on the crazy stuff I say haha
So he went in a whole new direction this time which totally threw me off guard… He started to stutter, and yes I mean stutter haha and reminded me of something I proposed to him a few months ago… I totally forgot but jew pussy sure didnt.

If he wants to go on dates he can go on a date with my socks, if he wants to make out and get some action he can make out with my dirty panties and jerk his dick by himself after I fooled around with his wallet right in front of him… If he wants a girlfriend, dates, fun and any fun it all has to be around Me!

As co-founders and former co-chief executives of Matches Fashion, one of the premier independent fashion retailers in the United Kingdom and a rising challenger in the e-commerce market, Tom and Ruth Chapman turned a brick-and-mortar store into a global platform stocking the most influential international luxury brands, while championing British fashion talent. In 2015, they reported annual sales of £130m and growth at an average of 75 percent over the last four years.
Ruth and Tom created Matchesfashion.com — then known as Matches Fashion — in 1987 in Wimbledon. They were the first multi-brand retailer to introduce designers including
and Bottega Veneta into the UK market. A standalone menswear store was opened — along with MaxMara's first franchise store — in 1992. The business currently operates five stores in premium locations across the British capital.
Over the years, the Chapman's expanded their retail network to include 14 stores across the British capital. In 2006, seeing the digital opportunity before many, Matchesfashion.com launched its e-commerce store. With great foresight, Matchesfashion.com launched with international shipping, allowing it to begin building an international business in the nascent days of e-commerce. Today, Matchesfashion.com stocks 400 established and emerging designers, receives over 70 million visitors a year, with 75 percent of orders coming from the 176 international markets the site serves.
In 2013, all brand platforms were renamed MATCHESFASHION.COM to create a uniform brand identity across several multimedia platforms. The company is a model example of digital retail, engaging in meaningful collaborations with style influencers who curate selections of apparel and accessories, themed shoppable edits and 24/7 personalised styling advice available online. The company's website is responsible for over 90 percent of its revenue.
The pair stepped down as co-chief executives in 2015, taking on the role of joint chairmen instead. They were succeeded by their chief operating officer Ulric Jerome, who aims to establish Matchesfashion.com as the world's foremost online luxury fashion retailer. Tom and Ruth remain intimately involved the business they built. In their new role as joint chairman, as well continuing to act as the public faces of the retailers, they are particularly focused on the international expansion of their business and activating new markets as it continues to expand.
This year, Matchesfashion.com, whose clientele is said to spend full price order average of £650 per online visit, shifted their European headquarters to The Shard, where 300 of their 500 employees now work.

Disparoneura leucostigma Fraser, 1933
Taxonomic Notes: | Originally described as Disparoneura leucostigma Fraser, 1933c. |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Critically Endangered B1ab(ii,iii)+2ab(ii,iii) ver 3.1 |

Assessor(s): | Bedjanič, M. |
Reviewer(s): | Kalkman, V. & Clausnitzer, V. (Odonata Red List Authority) |
Justification: Not found since its description in 1933 and the species might be already extinct. Since no really exhaustive odonatological faunistic survey, covering appropriate localities in different seasons, has been made by odonatologists in order to eventually find its remaining populations, the species does not qualify under category extinct (EX). More field research is urgently needed. |
Previously published Red List assessments: |
Range Description: | Endemic to Sri Lanka. Only type locality known (Nuwara Eliya, Nuwara Eliya District). Not present in any of the large odonatological collections from the island made by entomologist (not odonatologists!) in last 50 years (Naturhistorischen Museum Basle (Switzerland), National Museum of Natural History - Smithsonian Institution (USA), Lund University (Sweden) and University of Vienna (Austria)) (museum collections accessed by M.

Population: | Population size and trend is unknown, possibly extinct. | ||
Current Population Trend: | Unknown | ||
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | The species inhabits small streams in dense montane forests. Larval form unknown. |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater |
Major Threat(s): | The species' habitat type is under great pressure due to water extraction, pollution and destruction of natural montane forest. The appropriate natural habitats in Nuwara Eliya region were heavily damaged and fragmented in the last decades. Destruction of primary montane forests, planting of alochthonous (foreign) tree species for forest plantations, destruction of forest corridors along streams, pollution, water extraction and other pressures on streams and upper courses of rivers in mountainous central part of Sri Lanka are the major threat for endemic dragonfly fauna of the region. |

General guidelines for protection of endemic dragonfly fauna in mountain regions of Sri Lanka include (1) establishment of network of new small protected areas and corridors, (2) conservation of forest corridors along streams and rivulets outside protected areas and (3) renaturation/conversion of alochthonous (foreign) forests in the wider surroundings of streams (Bedjanic 2004). General note: Knowledge on distribution, biology and taxonomy of several endangered endemic dragonfly species from Sri Lanka is very poor or insufficient. In the future special attention should be devoted to the work dealing with taxonomy of larval forms and adults. Serious odonatological faunistic mapping should cover the whole island and should be urgently focused on still preserved and protected areas. Simultaneously also the research of biology and ecology of selected endangered species should be carried out. As far as species habitat and potential area of occurrence is concerned the Sri Lankan Moist Forests (Ecoregion 21: Sri Lanka montane rain forests (IM0155)) and South-western Sri Lanka Rivers and Streams (Ecoregion 172) are included in the prestigious WWF's global 200 list of the earth's most biologically outstanding habitats. The conservation status of the ecoregions is judged as critical/endangered (Ecoregion 21) and vulnerable (Ecoregion 172) (Olson et al. 2000). |

Army Medic Is Found Guilty of Desertion
By GEORGE FREY WUERZBURG, Germany - A U.S. Army medic who jumped out a window of his base housing and fled to California to avoid a redeployment to Iraq was convicted of desertion Tuesday at a court-martial. He was sentenced to eight months in prison _ far short of the maximum seven-year sentence.
Spc. Agustin Aguayo, 35, who refused to return to Iraq because he believes war is immoral, admitted the less serious charge of being absent without leave but was unsuccessful in contesting the more serious desertion charge. He and his attorneys turned to each other and smiled as the judge, Col. R. Peter Masterton, read out the sentence.
In a shaky voice, Aguayo told the court at the Army's Leighton Barracks near Wuerzburg that his convictions led him to flee his base rather than go back with his unit.
"I respect everyone's views and your decision, I understand that people don't understand me," he testified. "I tried my best, but I couldn't bear weapons and I could never point weapons at someone."
Aguayo added: "The words of Martin Luther come to mind, 'Here I stand, I can do no more.'"
Masterton sided with prosecutors in finding him guilty of desertion. He also was convicted of missing a troop deployment.
Since Aguayo has been jailed for 161 days awaiting trial, he could be free within a few weeks. Masterton also ordered that Aguayo be reduced in rank to private, forfeit his pay, and receive a bad conduct discharge at the end of his sentence.
Capt. Derrick Grace, the lead prosecutor, said being absent without leave was by itself grounds for a desertion conviction.
"The accused was supposed to deploy with his unit to Iraq, and that was important to do," he said. "Instead of deploying with his unit, the accused decided to jump out a window and run away."
Aguayo, assigned to the 1st Infantry Division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team, served a year as a combat medic in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit in 2004 after the military turned down his request to be considered a conscientious objector.
He then jumped out of a window of his base housing in Germany on Sept. 2 rather than be forced to ship out for a second tour and fled home to California. He surrendered at California's Fort Irwin about three weeks later.
As his court-martial opened, Aguayo admitted he deliberately avoided going to Iraq.
"I understand that the formation was to move ... to Iraq your honor," he told the judge in a quiet, wavering voice. "Yes, I deliberately stayed away from the movement. I knew that I wouldn't be making this movement."
He challenged the Army's decision in U.S. federal courts but lost.
Aguayo, who was not the first soldier to be convicted of desertion for refusing to serve in Iraq, said he enlisted in 2002 to earn money for his education. Though military operations in Afghanistan were under way and discussions about Iraq were ongoing, he said he never thought he would have to fight

Surfer Girl Gradient Striped Matching Socks Set (small), Greatest of Ease, ready to ship
$ 31.00
This yarn is ready to ship from our studio to your favorite knitting chair.
About Striped Matching Socks Sets
Gradient-striped sock yarn was invented by Knitcircus dyer Jaala Spiro. This unique dyeing technique creates short stripes for instant gratification and an overall gradient effect. The main color of the sock changes slowly as you knit - from almost completely one color to almost completely another. The gradients and the stripes happen magically as you knit! No knots in your socks, and no having to remember to change colors. This yarn is spectacular.
Dyed-to-match gradient striped socks sets make festive stripes throughout the sock. You choose to start from the center of the cake or the outside! If you start with the same color for each sock, you'll have maternal twins - every stitch of one sock matches the other exactly.
About this Size
Small socks - A small socks set has has 2 identical cakes that total 50g of fingering weight yarn. This is the perfect size to make knee socks for children, ankle socks for women's sizes 6-9, and great wrist warmers. If you want larger socks or longer cuffs, look for a "medium socks set" or a "large socks set". We recommend working toe-up socks whenever possible so you never stop knitting before your gradient finishes with a flourish.
About this Color
Surfer Girl- We could ride the surf together, while our knitting would grow. Hibiscus, coral, aqua, and sea blue stripe to keep your feet warm on a cool summer night by the bonfire or standing on the beach watching the ocean's roar. If you want a different base or a size of socks, click here to custom order this colorway.
About this Yarn Base
Greatest of Ease - fingering (80% superwash Merino/20% nylon), 2 cakes of 100 yards each, totaling 50g. This yarn base is our perennial best seller, and is truly versatile. Click here for more information about our different yarn bases.
- This listing is for sock yarn only. You will not receive a completed pair of socks.
- Because of our unique dyeing process, many of our darker colors appear heathered, with small light spots sprinkled throughout. This heathering is normal.
- Care for all of our yarns is to hand or machine wash cold (delicate cycle), dry flat. Our yarns are colored using professional-grade acid dyes.
- We've made every effort to photograph the color accurately, but appearance may vary depending on your monitor settings.

Mouayyed spent the first nine years of his life watching his friends from the sidelines.
He was banned from taking part in PE classes in his school near Souf in Jordan simply because he is a wheelchair user. Teachers said they couldn't cater for him. Sporting facilities are generally limited in the country and the participation of marginalised children – like Mouayyed – incredibly rare, mostly as a result of misunderstanding and stigma.
The 2012 Paralympics in London were a game-changer for disabled people in the UK and around the world. Their success challenged perceptions about what people with different physical and mental capabilities can do and demonstrated the incredible power generated when we all unite behind inclusion. However, nearly one year on, we have urgent work to do to bridge the gap between changing minds and changing lives for the long term. UNICEF's new State of the World's Children report, released today, reveals that tens of millions of disabled children are still struggling simply to survive and thrive. The research finds that they are often last in line for vital services like healthcare and education and are up to four times more likely to be subject to violence than their peers.
The report also highlights a hidden link between malnutrition and disability. For example, each year up to half a million children are at risk of going blind, purely because they don't consume enough Vitamin A. Furthermore, disabled children are at risk of becoming under-nourished. This can be because of the types of conditions they have. For example, cerebral palsy can cause problems with chewing and swallowing, while cystic fibrosis affects the body's absorption of nutrients. But the report also suggests that disabled children are often hidden away from feeding programmes because of shame and stigma.
The situation for disabled children has to change. I am supporting UNICEF projects as part of my role as an Ambassador for International Inspiration – the international legacy programme of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games run by UNICEF and others – which is helping to engage disabled children around the world in sport and play. I am a firm believer that access to sport and recreation is not only every child's right, but it has an incredible ripple effect which can impact other vital sectors like health and education. When disabled children are included, it helps to raise their standing and encourages general acceptance and understanding.
As part of my role, I had the chance to travel to Jordan to launch the programme in the country. Thanks to its success, Mouayyed – the boy who was always forced to miss PE classes – took part in sports sessions with his friends for the very first time. He was overflowing with enthusiasm and could not stop talking about how good it felt. It was a small step, but one with an enormous personal and public impact. On a policy level the Ministry of Education jumped on board with the project, identifying training materials and resources for PE teachers and classes. Social media and TV were used to bring the inclusion message to a wider audience.
This change is not just happening in Jordan. Young lives are being transformed through sport and play from Azerbaijan to Zambia – and we need to do everything we can to support the process. We have a range of opportunities to do so. Just last week I gave evidence to the Commons Select Committee on making physical education available to all children, including those with disabilities, in order to improve lives and health bills. On June 8, at the 'Nutrition for Growth' summit, the British Government has the opportunity to commit further funds to tackling malnutrition and its effects – which could have a huge effect on disabled children around the world.
Children like Mouayyed have incredible potential and by including them in society we all benefit. It's not enough just to talk about transformation; we need to achieve it. We must seize on the inspiration of events like the Paralympics to fight discrimination and create lasting change for hundreds of millions of children worldwide.

Sixth Person Dies From Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse
A 22-year-old college student is the latest casualty from injuries suffered at last weekend's fair.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Family members say a 22-year-old college student is the sixth person to die from injuries suffered when a stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair last weekend.
Along with several people who died immediately, at least four dozen were injured when a strong wind gust toppled the metal scaffolding holding lights and other equipment and sent it plunging into fans awaiting a concert by the country group Sugarland.
The Star Press first reported 22-year-old Jennifer Haskell died Friday morning at a hospital in Indianapolis. Her uncle, Mike Whited, announced her death in a statement later Friday.
Haskell was entering her senior year at Ball State University, where she was studying sports medicine
State Fair spokesman Andy Klotz tells WTHR-TV the fair expresses "its deepest sympathies to her family."

OEM Flexibles NeoPixel-Board 8 x 32 256 RGB LEDs
- Currently unavailable. Delivery date unknown.
Information subject to change.
Information subject to change.
For advanced NeoPixel fans, we how have a bendable, flexible 8x32
NeoPixel LED Matrix! Control all 256 ultra-bright LEDs using a single
microcontroller pin, set each LED as you wish to scroll messages
draw little images. This matrix has a thick flexible PCB backing that
can be gently bent and curved around surfaces
You can use this matrix just like any other NeoPixel-compatible
product, and we even have NeoMatrix code that will let you use the
matrix as a 8x32 grid for drawing on without having to do all the icky
Don't forget, with 256 LEDs, you could use over 15A of current if you
turn on all the LEDs on to white (which we really do not recommend
because we don't think the flex PCB can handle that much current). Try
to keep the current draw at undrer 5A.
Please note: Flexible PCBs are not designed for repeated flexing!
While we think this product may work in wearables or other situations
where the matrix is bent around, we do not offer any guarantees or
refunds if you end up cracking the LEDs or traces! This is for
advanced users only, who already know how to use NeoPixels and are
comfortable with the high current requirements and protecting the
matrix from damage. There are no returns, refunds or replacements for
damaged product.

The French Olympic Week was a great training opportunity for most competitors. We were fortunate enough to have a very windy event, which meant more practice for me in my weakest conditions. The regatta was similar to the Worlds in Cadiz in which it was fantastically windy most of the event. However, one more element made the event even more difficult: crazy chop and big waves.
For the first half of the regatta, the wind came from the famous northwest "Mistral" direction, which meant gusts of 30 knots and short, steep chop on starboard tack. In the middle of the event, we had one day of more "normal" conditions - 8 to 10 knots of southerly sea breeze. The final days had an easterly "opposite" to the Mistral, with giant Mediterranean waves building across the open sea.
I was able to work on technique over waves upwind, which isn't my strong suit, and dial in my big-wind settings. Most importantly, after a month of very windy training, I've lost all caution in those conditions. I'm having a blast going as fast as possible downwind and am attacking maneuvers aggressively. I just have to improve more upwind! On a very positive note for our one day of light wind, I had two top-10 finishes. I am getting really fast in those conditions and I can still improve a lot more - I can't wait to see where those improvements take me before the Olympic Games.
I have a few more days of recovery here in France and then it's off to Weymouth, UK, to finish up the season training at the Olympic venue. I'm really looking forward to starting up there. I'd like to thank my supporters Compass Marketing, the St. Francis Sailing Foundation, the Annapolis Yacht Club Foundation, the Olympic Sailing Association at New Orleans, and the Southport Sailing Foundation for all their help. I am making major improvements and I hope to have a good result at Sail for Gold.

The Road to the Olympics Went Through Cadiz, Spain
The World Championships was just a little different from most of my other events. The 30-knot wind we had for two days pushed the limits of the race committee and all competitors. It was radically different from the conditions I trained in for a month prior to the championships - marginal daggerboard and light planing conditions. Although I had little practice in the survival conditions we saw during the event, I was surprised at how well I performed with the training I had. Everything was just a little bit easier using new technique, I was fit and strong, and I learned new settings to de-power the equipment. I think my job would have been much easier in raceable conditions, but the lessons from this regatta will make me much more confident in future events.
Even Gold Medalists and World Champions didn't escape without a swim
A Defining Moment
Race 4, getting a jump on the fleet at the start led to a top finish and a place in the Gold fleet...
and punched my ticket to the 2012 Olympic games!
A special thanks to a new group of friends connected with the Rota Naval Base, and to the men and women serving our country in uniform, who made me feel at home and went out of their way to help me with whatever I needed. Max, my Polish coach commented several times how impressed he was by the support they gave us before, during and after the Championships. I specifically would like to thank David Hiipakka, Dale Thompson, Jan Hammond, and Liana.
David Hiipakka was the leader of my home team in Spain!
It's been a long four years, more hard work ahead
I'd like to thank all my sponsors for their support of my program and helping it to become as successful as it is today. I'd especially like to recognize Compass Marketing for their commitment, and a big thanks to the St. Francis Sailing Foundation, the Annapolis Yacht Club Foundation, the Olympic Sailing Association at New Orleans, and the Southport Sailing Foundation. I'm now in France beginning preparations for the French Olympic Week and I'm looking forward to another great event.

What's Below
DIVORCEUnder Virginia Law, you have the right to represent yourself in all legal cases, including divorce. The legal term for representing yourself is "pro se," pronounced "pro say") which is Latin for "on your own behalf." Representing yourself is not a good idea for everyone. It is important to understand that by representing yourself, you may be giving up important rights. It is very important for you to find out if your spouse has a pension, retirement account, insurance or other significant property before you decide whether to file your own divorce. If you do not ask for such things in the divorce, you will give them up forever. Before you file for divorce on your own, you need to talk to your spouse, if possible, and find out how he/she feels about the divorce and about the issues mentioned above. This will give you an indication on how to proceed with the divorce. The law limits the authority of the court to grant divorces (known as a question of jurisdiction-can this court hear this divorce?). The law also dictates when the court has jurisdiction over a divorce proceeding. Within Virginia, the circuit courts have jurisdiction to hear divorce cases. Generally, the circuit court with jurisdiction for your case is the circuit court in the county where you live or the circuit court in the county where your spouse lives. When you file the relevant papers, you must have stated your grounds for that court to have jurisdiction. If not state correctly, your spouse could file a motion to dismiss your case. After you file your papers, your spouse has 21 days (if your spouse lives in Virginia), 60 days (if your spouse lives outside of Virginia, but in the United States), or 90 days (if your spouse lives outside the United States) to respond to your request for divorce (known as a Complaint. If your spouse fails to respond, the court will proceed with the divorce so long as service of process has been completed correctly. Whether or not your spouse responds, you and your corroborative witness will have to appear before the court (in almost all cases the hearing will be before a master) in a hearing scheduled by the clerk. After your corroborative witness testifies and you have presented other evidence, and if your spouse answers or shows up, then your spouse will also have a chance to do the same. At the end of the hearing, the court (in most cases it will be a master who makes a recommendation to the court) will decide at some later time (normally 30 days) to grant a divorce and a settlement of marital issues. Back to TopRESIDENCYIn order to start the divorce process you must file a complaint in the circuit court where you or your spouse lives. In your complaint or at the hearing, you will have to meet the residency requirement for the ground you specified above. Divorce laws apply only to the residents of a state, and each state has its own residency requirements.
One of the spouses must have been a resident of Virginia for at least 6 months
prior to filing for divorce. The divorce may be filed for in: (1) the county or
city in which the spouses last lived together; or at the option of the
plaintiff: (2) the county or city where the defendant resides, if the defendant
is a resident of Virginia; or (3) if the defendant is a non-resident of
Virginia, the county or city where the plaintiff resides. [Code of Virginia;
Title 8, Section 8.01-261; and Title 20, Sections 20-96 and 20-97]. SAME STATE, DIFFERENT ADDRESSESYou do not have to remain at the same address to fulfill your residency requirement. You can move anywhere within the state from which you are filing. The forms do not require you to list all addressees, but you should be prepared to prove where you lived during the separation in the final hearing. Back to TopPROOF OF RESIDENCYYour residency is substantiated by your sworn complaint. The testimony is all that most courts require to verify residency. But cases have been dismissed and even overturned because of improper proof of residency. Back to TopRESIDENT VERSUS NONRESIDENTA court may take on a divorce proceeding even if your spouse is not a resident of Virginia. If you or your spouse move to another state after the divorce has been filed, you may still have your case heard in Virginia. Back to TopHOW TO ESTABLISH RESIDENCYRegister to vote. Get a driver's license. Get a job. Open charge accounts. Register your car. Take out a library card. The list is endless. But whatever you do, do not maintain a residence in another state that could imply that you do not intend to remain in the state from which you file. Back to TopCOUNTY JURISDICTIONVirginia has counties that govern which court your divorce will take place in. This is called venue. The divorce must be filed where either the plaintiff or defendant resides or where either is regularly employed or has a place of business. Back to TopDIVORCE: Fault and No-FaultDivorce is the ending of a marriage ordered by a court. In
Virginia. No-Fault grounds for divorce: No-Fault: (1) living separate and apart
without cohabitation for 1 year; or (2) living separate and apart without
cohabitation for 6 months if there are no minor children and the spouses have
entered into a separation agreement. [Code of Virginia; Title 20, Section
20-91]. Grounds: Fault DivorceThere are three principal players involved in your marriage that will also be involved in your divorce: you, your spouse, and the Commonwealth. You cannot simply break up, saddle your charger, and ride off into the sunset. Among other legal considerations, you have to give the Commonwealth an acceptable reason why you should be allowed to break up. The reason is known as the ground for your divorce. Over the years each state has enacted legislation that governs acceptable grounds. Grounds for Divorce in Virginia are: (1) Adultery; or for sodomy or buggery committed
outside the marriage; [Code of Virginia; Title 20, Section 20-91].

While Apple is tight-lipped about the introduction of new Mac systems with Intel's latest Penryn processors, analysts said the company's Unix-based Xserve servers could be the first to include the power-efficient Penryn chips.
Rumors predict Apple's Mac Pro workstations being the first Mac system to include Penryn processors, though it makes sense for Apple to first plug Penryn chips into Xserve machines to start upgrading its product portfolio from the top, analysts said.
The first Penryn chips, like the Xeon 5400, are the upper echelon of chips designed to first appear in servers and high-end desktops, not home PCs, an analyst with NPD Group, Samir Bhavnani, said. The first introductions could be Xserves and Mac Pro systems, then other Mac desktops and laptops as Intel releases chips for those systems, Bhavnani said.
Apple needs something to replace the rusting Xserve machines, and it would make sense for Apple to release a new server by year's end to immediately upgrade its product portfolio, analysts said.
"It's a no-brainer," CEO of analyst firm VLSI Research, Dan Hutcheson, said. "You'd want it in the stores before Christmas," he added. Intel has been manufacturing Penryn chips for some time and has built up a large inventory, so it is feasible that Apple will launch high-end Mac Pro desktops too, Hutcheson said.
Founder and principal of Mercury Research, Dean McCarron, agreed that Apple should launch workstations in time for holiday shopping. However, most manufacturers have already locked up product announcements as part of the system refresh cycle for the shopping season, so it's likely Apple will launch the products early next year, McCarron said.
Macworld, to be held Jan. 14 to Jan. 18 in San Francisco, is a big product showcase for Apple, and most likely the first Penryn-based Apple server and workstations and will be announced there, analysts said.
"Some of the rumors have been 'Apple's been buying [Intel chips] up.' It's not like Apple will have it on their systems exclusively," Bhavnani said. Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo have already announced workstations carrying Intel's new Xeon 5400 processor based on the 45-nanometre Penryn architecture. Apple won't rush to make a major announcement until Macworld, though it could announce a minor laptop or desktop refresh, Bhavnani said.
Intel is working on Penryn products with around 40 system vendors, including Apple, director for Intel's digital enterprise group operations, Stephen Smith, said. Intel cannot comment on Apple product releases, Smith said.
When Apple does put Penryn chips on Mac OS systems, users will be thrilled by the chip's improved graphics performance, Bhavnani said. The new chip's focus is high-definition, and Intel focused on improving video compression capabilities on the chips, which could improve a Mac's graphics capabilities, Bhavnani said.
"Because of the reputation Apple has for graphics and video, that reputation will be enhanced by being one of the first to have Penryn chips," Bhavnani said.
The new chips will also be more power efficient and provide better overall system performance, Bhavnani said.
Apple does not comment on speculation, a company spokeswoman said.

My extended family recently gathered to celebrate my Oma's 90th birthday. Oma is a very classy lady. She is a devoted and caring mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is a wonderful hostess and a very good cook! She makes the best bread ever. Going to Oma's house is always a treat.
My Lovely Oma
After the grandchildren did their presentation, it was time for the great-grandchildren to perform. They sang a German song for Oma, and did a very nice job.
Oma's children each gave a toast to Oma, and of course we all sang happy birthday and had birthday cake.

Philanthropic Volunteers of Ghana (PHIVOG) - Volunteering and Internship Placements in Ghana
About us
Philanthropic Volunteers of Ghana (PHIVOG) is a grassroots, not-for-profit, registered NGO passionately committed to providing an ethical and effective placement service for volunteers in Ghana. We work in partnership with local people to develop voluntary activities that help to better the lives of socially disadvantaged communities & groups.
We realise that everyone who wants to volunteer has different skills, knowledge, expectations and amounts of time they would like to share with others. To reflect this we offer tailor made voluntary opportunities that vary in nature, scope and duration. For example, gap-year, career-break & summer break placements in areas like education, health, law, ICT, finance, and many more. Whether you are interested in teaching, working with orphaned children, supporting HIV/AIDS health programs, farming, environmentalism, research or accounting, (the list goes on and on)... we can find a way to channel your expertise, interests and motivations so you can make a real difference through volunteering.
We offer good quality accommodation to interns and volunteers through our host family houses. These welcoming lodgings provide excellent facilities such as clean, well furnished rooms with bathroom facilities and meals are available three times daily. Staying with a host family enables interns and volunteers to experience a genuine sense of local culture by living side by side with local people.
We provide interns and volunteers with a comprehensive orientation at the start of their visit. This includes information about the country, the location and context of their placement/internship and about their host family accommodation.
Ghana has a reputation as a peaceful and stable country making it perfect for first time travelers to Africa. Like anywhere else in the world, sensible precautions can help to ensure a trouble free visit, and we provide interns and volunteers with advice on safety and well-being to help enable this.
The fee for internships and placements includes host family accommodation and meals, a welcome pack and orientation - including an introduction to 'life in Ghana', a one day tour of the capital city Accra and an introduction to the place of internship/volunteering, airport pick-up and drop-off and 24/7 emergency support.
Flights, visa, vaccinations and insurance are not included in the fee.

Jewish World Review April 4, 2005 / 24 Adar II, 5765 Congressional retrogression in Schiavo intervention By Robert Robb
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
May Terri Schiavo rest in peace. And may the rest of us be circumspect in
the political use we seek to make of her death.
Although my libertarian instincts occasionally prevail, for the most part I
share the social conservative critique and support its agenda. I am
pro-life, believe that society should have greater authority to minimize
culturally harmful influences, and find much of popular culture to be
deracinated and degrading.
Yet I found much of what social conservatives were saying in the Schiavo
case to be perplexing and even troubling.
For example, the claim that this was a battle between a culture of life on
the right and a culture of death on the left. This found additional
articulation in the claim that Schiavo was being "killed" or even
Social conservatives had various perpetrators fingered for this crime: her
husband, the judges, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for not defying court orders,
even the rest of us for a lack of collective will to change the course of
This takes the moral argument well beyond where the case began, as a
dispute over her medical condition and appropriate guardianship.
Over the last three decades, American law has made substantial progress
toward giving individuals and families more control over decisions to
medically intervene to prolong life.
Yet if withdrawing the feeding tube from Terri Schiavo was "killing" or
"murdering" her, then it would have been morally wrong even if her parents
had agreed with the decision, rather than bitterly fighting it.
After all, her parents had no more right to kill or murder Terri than did
her husband. Nor collectively did they have any more right to do so than
each acting singly.
Nor, for that matter, would Schiavo have had the right to make that
decision for herself, for example through a living will. If withdrawing the
feeding tube was killing or murder, it would still be so if done by others
in accordance with her wishes. And if she could have done it herself, it
would have been suicide.
The implication of what social conservatives said during this controversy
is that these difficult decisions should be removed from individuals and
families. Indeed, part of Terri's Law was the stated intention of Congress
to pass federal legislation dealing with medical intervention on behalf of
the incapacitated.
This would be retrogression. The U.S. Supreme Court has found that
declining medical treatment, even when such refusal will be fatal, is a
protected aspect of liberty. It has left broad discretion to the states to
establish processes by which such decisions are made for the incapacitated.
Some states require a clear prior expression by the patient. Some permit
family members to make the decision.
There is no reason to believe that Congress possesses some special wisdom
or moral insight about these decisions. And constricting the ability of
families to make them, as Congress seems to want to do, is an affront to
moral sensibilities, not in service to them.
The attitude of social conservatives toward death, as reflected in this
debate, is perplexing.
Social conservatism is primarily a movement of Christian evangelicals and
Catholics. Christians believe that life is a gift from G-d, which carries a
moral obligation to exercise good and wise stewardship of it. But death is
not to be feared or preternaturally resisted, since it is a gateway to a
closer and fuller relationship with G-d.
It's worth noting that the movement toward greater authority for family
members regarding these decisions began with the Karen Ann Quinlan case in
1976, which has many parallels with the Schiavo case.
Quinlan was severely brain damaged and her life was being sustained by
medical intervention, a respirator and a feeding tube. A living will hadn't
been executed. Her father was a devout Catholic.
But in this case, the father successfully petitioned the court for the
right to stop the medical interventions. And the Catholic Church entered
the case as amicus curiae in support of his request.
In the Schiavo debate, some social conservatives made the point that
Schiavo wasn't dying. She just couldn't feed herself. Some also made a
distinction between a feeding tube and other artificial means of life
support, such as a respirator or heart machine.
There are, of course, important gradations of dependence and cognition in
these cases. But there certainly wouldn't seem to be a moral difference
between needing medical intervention to nourish and hydrate and needing it
to breathe or circulate blood.
These are difficult decisions, obviously involving the difference between
life and death. But they are not a choice between a culture of life and a
culture of death. Nor is allowing death to happen without medical
intervention the same as killing or murder.
They can also be messy decisions, particularly when there is a family
conflict, as was the case with Terri Schiavo.
But, as unsatisfactory as the outcome in this case was to many, they remain
decisions best made by individuals and their families rather than by
