Súlov castle was built in first third of the 15th century. By it's size, the castle was very small. Its main function was to protect and watching near by road. It is really hard to get to it through forest trail.
One can say the castle is like eagles nest. The ruins of the castle totally merge with surrounding area. I visited the ruins in summer of 1998 and I can tell you and you can also see from the pictures, that the view is unbelievable.
After 1550 fire it was rebuilt to its original shape and size. In 1730 the castle heads military garrison. There used to be upper and lower castle. Heavy earthquake damage in 1763 accelerated its final destruction. Fortified formation was found in the Súlov castle village area dating from 12th to 13th century.

Law enforcement officers spent more than an hour this morning stopping vehicles along U.S. Highway 59, where two highway workers were killed in a hit-and-run incident last week.
"It's helping us maybe make contact with people who may have seen something or may have something that will help us with our investigation," Douglas County Sheriff's Lt. Kari Wempe said.
Officers stopped vehicles at a checkpoint from 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., Wempe said.
Killed on Sept. 11, when a pickup truck barreled through a construction zone, were Tyrone T. Korte, 30, Seneca, and Rolland "Ron" Griffith, 24, El Dorado.
Two women who were allegedly in a truck that led a trooper on a chase in Osage County shortly after the incident were being held in jail.
Ramona I. Morgan, 48, faces several traffic charges in Osage County, including fleeing and attempting to elude the trooper. She is in the Osage County Jail. Her daughter, Sabrina J. Morgan, 26, is charged with aiding a felon and was moved to Douglas County Jail Thursday at 2:30 p.m. on the Osage County hold.
Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said the Osage County Jail is small and the two women could not adequately be kept separated. Osage County asked for another county jail to take one of the women, Branson said.
No charges have yet been filed against the women in Douglas County.
On Tuesday resurfacing work on U.S. 59 will resume, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. The work was suspended after the incident, which occurred at the southern edge of Pleasant Grove.

Trip End

We have just left a farm that I want to tell you about. It was a wetland area in Brazil near Bolivia called the Pantanal. This area has animals, fishes, birds and mosquitos which they kept biting me. It is summer there and it also rains alot .
We did lots while we were there. We went horse riding four times and it was exciting. I went Pirhana fishing and I caught one and Fynn and Edie caught two. It had four sets of sharp teeth. I fed my fish to the Caiman. We went night and day safari. On a boat trip we saw monkeys, birds and a Tarantula swimming in the river. When we about to leave we milked the cows which we drank with chocolate.
The most frightening thing was when I went horse riding and I found out later that there was a 2m 8 Caiman swimming by my foot. Another thing I saw was an Anaconda under a tree which was 8m long, a teenager. It was slimey and mummy and I were scared.
You have to come here it is sooooo cool.
Love Lily
ps - we saw a Gaucho kill and cut up a cow in half an hour.pps - I miss and I hope you are having a great time in Englandppps - Hope you like my show - send me some emails soon

Italian matinee idol Amadeo Nazzari essays the title role in Luciano Serra, Pilot. Set in the years following WWI, the story begins as Serra, a wartime flying ace, can find no outlet for his energies in peacetime. He leaves Italy in search of new adventures, making a name for himself as a barnstorming "show" pilot. Embarking on a transatlantic flight, Serra disappears en route, obliging his son Aldo (Mario Ferrari) to uphold family tradition. When his plane is shot down during the Ethiopian campaign...more

Amnesty International Urges Kyrgyzstan's Neighbors to Open Borders
WASHINGTON - Amnesty International is calling on all
countries neighboring
Kyrgyzstan to open their borders to thousands of people desperately
refuge from the violence that has engulfed the southern part of the
in the last five days.
The violence in and around the southern cities of Osh and Jalal-Abad and
towns and villages in the region with large Uzbek populations has
the lives of hundreds of people and left thousands injured.
Amnesty International has received reports that armed young men continue
to roam the streets, setting houses on fire, beating, shooting and
people they believe to be Uzbek.
Up to 100,000 people, mainly of Uzbek origin, and predominantly women
children, are believed to have sought refuge from the violence in
where the authorities are trying to accommodate those fleeing the
"The Uzbekistani authorities must also ensure unconditional and
access to international humanitarian organizations that have the
and resources to deal with such a mass influx of refugees," said
"There is an urgent need to provide humanitarian assistance to all those
who fled from Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan, including those who are
still waiting to enter Uzbekistan, to register and assess the protection
needs of everyone, including unaccompanied children, and for families to
be reunited."
Amnesty International has learnt that while many of those fleeing
are being sheltered in tents, schools and other public buildings in
others are without adequate accommodation .
"Food, water, shelter, as well as essential medical services must be
to all, and their security must be ensured," said Weicherding.
Amnesty International is particularly concerned for the safety of
who fled persecution in Uzbekistan over the last five years and were
recognized as refugees in Kyrgyzstan or were living in hiding in the
of Kyrgyzstan for fear of being forcibly returned to Uzbekistan.
These individuals cannot return to Uzbekistan where they are at risk of
torture and long term imprisonment in cruel and inhuman conditions.
Amnesty International has received information that many are now living
in fear of their lives, hiding from armed gangs who target Uzbeks.
"It is imperative that in this volatile and unpredictable situation the
interim government and local authorities in Kyrgyzstan ensure adequate
protection for all people in the country and in particular for the most
vulnerable," Weicherding said.
"The authorities in Kyrgyzstan must also prepare to shelter and feed
fleeing from the south to the north and may also need international

Re: biting baby quaker
My Quaker Poppet has pushed the boundries with biting too. Its not hard, more pushing his luck to see what he can get away with. I tolerate a fair bit of 'beaking' because lets face it, they don't have anything else to use really and as babies, they don't yet know what is acceptable and what isn't. Poppet is my second Quaker and with the first and this one I say a firm 'no' or 'no bite' and return him to his cage. He's now learnt that if he bites, fun time is over. It's worked already and it worked with the last one I had too. The secret is not to overreact at all. A firm voice is fine but don't raise your voice, just change the tone. Quakers, as with a lot of parrots, seem to like to provoke a reaction and this then encourages them to repeat the behaviour.
We think, because we have logical thinking and thumbs, that we are the superior species. In actual fact we don't have any more right to be on this planet than any other creature. |

Re: biting baby quaker
If you can, it's best to avoid the bites completely. Babies often bite out of curiosity and not realize they are hurting or because they are afraid.
Assuming your quaker is biting out of curiosity then I would recommend to make sure that your quaker has a lot of things to chew and interact with that you can just hand him so he'll have something in his mouth! If he's already busy with something, he can't bite you!
The Earth is not flat and the Sun does not revolve around the Earth. Don't be afraid to question what you learn. In doing so, you may discover a greater truth. ~Mc |

Re: biting baby quaker
Zulu has only really bit me hard once and that was on the way home from the breeder. It hurt like the dickens but I completely ignored it and left my thumb where it was until s/he got bored and climbed away. Since then, whenever Zulu beaks/bites, I either completely ignore it or try to redirect his/her attention - clucking, clicking or moving my hand. For the most part, the bites aren't painful and Zulu seems to lose interest pretty fast when there's no reaction.
I don't know if complete ignoring is the best way to deal with it, but for now it seems to be working with Zulu. JJ |

Re: biting baby quaker
Arya started biting recently and it was more about pushing boundaries. She'd find the tiniest bit of skin in our necks, arms, and bite really hard. My mom would make a big deal out of it. I always ignore her. Ignoring her worked.
I also make sure I always have something around my neck when she's on me. Currently I have a long shoe lace that she likes to chew on. She also likes to chew on my hair ties or hair accessories. Getting her a beak buffer really helped, too.

Re: biting baby quaker
Our parrots tend to like our company. It might work to tell her "no", pick her up and put her in the cage for a while, each and every time she bites, until she gets the idea that biting equals time out. I believe, in order for this to be effective, you have to be consistant.
When Skittles, our BFA, bites me, he goes in the house, and gets a minor lecture and then ignored for a while. It does appear to be working. |

You will enjoy sitting on deck with the amazing ocean views and sunsets, Kekaha has to offer. We offer you a clean and cute and fully equipped 2 bedroom house. There is a King Bed and Queen comfortably sleeping four adults, we also have couple extra futon sofas for larger groups. Kekaha is known for its laid back lifestyle and sunny days. We are located on Kaumualii Hwy just across the street from Davidson's surf break. Across the street from the house is the black sand beach and runs for two miles, and to the west the white sand runs 17 miles to Polihale Beach. Kekaha sits at the base of Waimea canyon and Kokee State park where unlimited hiking is available. In 25 minutes you can take a drive up to Kokee and be in a completely different environment offering great mountain hiking, the Grand Caynon of the Pacific, and much more.
This house is great for those who are looking for great views and enjoy the laid back lifestyle that the west side has to offer.
The house comes fully equipped with all that you will need for a comfortable stay. Including:
*Wireless Internet
*Fully stocked Kitchen with all the cooking essentials you will need
*Comfortable bedding and towels
*Beach Chairs, Coolers, Umbrella
Permitted Kauai Vacation Rental
Amy Frazier 808 639 9011
Paul Frazier 808 652 0826
We are a family of four and live on Kauai. We have enjoy spending a lot of time on the west side of Kauai with the sunny days, surf, and laid back lifestyle. We also own a vacation rental in Hanalei for several years and are excited about having one to offer on the west side.
Amy Frazier 808 639 9011 Paul Frazier 808 652 0826 purchased this house in 2014
VIEWS! We chose this property for the amazing views. The west side feels alot like the old Hawaii that I grew up in and we like the laid back, uncrowded lifestyle. The west side is generally sunny and rains less than 10 inches a year. There is unlimited white sands beach and hiking in Kokee, so you are always guaranteed to find a quiet spot to enjoy.
If you are looking for a location off the beaten track, that does not feel like a touristy resort spot than this is the spot for you. People are drawn to Kekaha for its sunny days laid back lifestyle, a true slice of the old Hawaii.
We (2 couples) stayed here for a week, and enjoyed our visit. The view was great - we saw whales almost every day and one day we saw s school of dolphins swimming by. It was a good location - close to Waimea Canyon, and the town of Waimea. The house was comfortable and suited us just fine.
We stayed for 3 days in late April 2016. We recommend this place for a good time, to get away from it all and just relax. The place is very roomy and stocked fairly well for cooking, grilling, etc. linens and towels were very adequate. The A/C worked well and there are fans in every room. We enjoyed the views from the house to the surf across the highway just south of the property.
Early each morning, we walked on the beaches for miles. The beaches are clean and deserted, with miles of sand available. We went to the beach parks to the northwest and enjoyed the quiet areas around Kekaha. For services, Waimea (3 miles to the east) is well served with grocery and restaurants, such as Yumi's, which was a bargain. One evening we went on a sunset cruise to Na Pali coast courtesy of Blue Dolphin charters. This was our most memorable time of a 10 day visit to Hawaii. We re-visited Scenic Waimea Canyon which we saw on a prior trip to Kauai. We recommend Kekaha Surf House. Also, there are several beach toys, coolers and equipment at the house but we did not use.
My husband and I stayed for our honeymoon and it was exactly what we were looking for. The house is very clean, well stocked with all the necessary items and beach items, plus a large lanai (which we got messages on), and has amazing view of the ocean. It was so relaxing to just sit on the lanai and watch the waves roll in and at night the star gazing is phenomenal. The location is set away from all tourist areas which is nice if you are looking to leave all behind. With that said you are about a hour or more away from most of the tourist activities, large restaurants, and the north side of the island so be prepared to drive. We did not mind the drive since HELLO you are in Kauai and there is beauty and new sights every time you head out. A down side of the house is the two lane highway that run right in front of the house. For a two lane road it is busy and can be loud at times but you just learn to tune it out and at night just close all windows and turn the a/c on. Don't let the highway be a deal breaker for you the house is amazing and we will return to enjoy all that it has to offer. The owners are amazing and easy to communicate with if you need anything.
During our trip to Kauai, we were looking to spend some time off the beaten path. This place offers Million dollar views. We felt like we were on the ocean. Not too many tourists around and close to sleepy town of Waimea, the Waimea canyon and the sandy beach dunes of Polihale. Very clean, all the amenities and tons of decks to relax and take in the beauty.
My boyfriend and I had a trip planned to the Big Island only to find with about 2 weeks notice that Hurricane Iselle took the roof off of the house we had planned to stay in. I was working in Waikiki for 3 weeks and desperately wanted to vacation away from touristy chaos following those weeks. My boyfriend found this house in Kauai online last minute and while we were disappointed that all our initial plans were foiled by the storm (and sorry for the owners that lose their roof), we were more than pleasantly surprised when we arrived at this home. Paul and his family were actually there for a few days enjoying the other house on the property and they were helpful and welcoming but not at all invasive. The layout of the home, the décor and details, the VIEW and the sounds and breeze off the ocean were wonderful!! They offer beach chairs, umbrella and snorkel gear for use, washer and dryer, beach towels and everything in the kitchen you'd need. The house and location were awesome!
A few things to keep in mind: You'll need to drive, in some cases, a distance, to most shopping, hiking, restaurants, activities...(which we loved)! Some places we went required 4x4 vehicles so rent a Jeep! There are mosquitoes but the house offers the coiled incense repellent and bring spray repellent. The home does not have Air Conditioning but in August we didn't need it with the cool ocean breezes.
I had the privilege of staying at this house for a week and it was absolutely one of the best places I have ever stayed anywhere. I travel the earth continually (including Kauai very often) and this place ranks at the top. It is right near the ocean which when you open the windows and the sliding doors in the master bedroom lulls you into a tropical bliss. While you are here you can feel the healing that is being done by the energy and vibrancy of Kauai. This house is away from the crowds yet is close to the major cities/utilities/gas/stores/attractions. You will feel that you are secluded and alone and that you are truly in an environment of peaceful, calm privacy. Everything that you could need for a vacation to Kauai is in this house. There is one very bad thing though which made the last day here nearly intolerable and that is that I knew I had to leave!!!! I will definitely come again. Many places on the Island charge double or more for a house like this. I can promise you that you will fall in love with this place. You have to experience it for yourself. The ocean, tropical plants, the cute geckos, completely open windows and doors if you choose lull one away into a indescribable bliss. You may not want to leave the house and go touring as just being in this place is so healing and refreshing and relaxing. Mahalo to the owners for their diligent efforts in creating this oasis away from the world.

Thanks again! Regards, |
just out of curiosity, why is the screen made by samsung? doesnt sony make the screen by themselves? as far as I know sony is japanese and samsung is korean and they are rivals.
Actually, all the U.S. Sony PSP's have the screen made by Samsung; Sony changed from the Sharp screens to the Samsung version because the Samsung unit is cheaper, and supposedly less prone to dead pixels.
The Japanese PSP's are assembled solely in Japan, while the U.S. version is built from partially in Japan, and partially in China (I believe final assembly of Japanese parts takes place in China). There really is little difference between the Japanese version and the U.S. version; region encoding only applies to the movies on UMD, not any of the games. The value pack does include a 32 MB Memory Stick, plus a soft carrying case, headphones / remote control (wired) etc. So a Japanese version WILL NOT play North American movies on UMD, if that's a concern for you. It's a fair deal for the price, if you're after all the accessories. From a technical perspective, there is no difference in the units. ALL new Sony PSP's are using the Samsung displays, not just the Japanese versions. That being said, Sony is apparently not honoring the warranty on ANY PSP's for ANY number of dead pixels. I'm not sure if they've changed this stance in the last couple of weeks, but as of late March, that was their position. Pat |

CDN$360 |
Just because something is "WiFi Certified", does not mean it will automatically work in each and every country that you might be travelling in. There are different regulatory bodies for different countries (Industry Canada for example, and the FCC in the U.S.). In some countries, 2.4 GHz is a licensed band, and WiFi isn't allowed at all there. $360 is a fair price for a unit imported, but you can buy a North American version cheaper. I can buy a Japanese PSP Value Pack for roughly $2000 HKD in Tsim Sha Tsui, plus each game goes for between 350 and 450 HKD. $360 CDN is a fair price for the unit in that sense. But plenty of people are selling used / nearly new Sony PSPs that are North American (regiod coded for North American movies) for roughly $300; many for between $250 and $300. Unfortunately, there is no advantage to the Japanese version over the U.S. version. And you lose the ability to play North American movies (should you ever want to) with the Japanese version. I might be interested at $300, but that's close to what I'd be topping out at. Pat |

Oral cycle bridge w Anavar?
Hey Fellow Iron slaves..I run 8 week oral cycles (dbol & winny) Nice combo if you havent tried
but the falloff in zero test for the off cycle period is too drastic..so Im asking if maybe 20mg of
anavar would be a safe effective bridge (with ALL liver support,of course) until next Dbol/winny cycle?
Thanks all.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - Diagnosing Fin Rot in Betta Fish
Diagnosing Fin Rot in Betta Fish Hello, I just bought a male betta fish from a pet store and noticed some discoloration (brownish in color) on the bottom of his tail. None of his other fins seem to be affected, and the hole that was in his tail is healing nicely. He also seems to have some new fin growth on all of his fins (it is clear and healthy looking). The discoloration does not "seem" to be growing and I have been watching it since I got him on Sunday. Otherwise he is perfectly healthy and loves his new home. He is in a 5.5 gallon tank with an Azoo Palm Filter, heater (the water temperature is a constant 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit, and thermometer so that I can monitor the temperature easily. He has a few plants (one that he loves to sleep on), a shelter, and gravel. The pH is about 7.0. I feed him bettamin and bloodworms both of which he loves, and am careful not to overfeed him. As for his water, I will do a 25-50% water change once a week using tap water conditioner and a small amount of aquarium salt. My water comes from a well , is fine for us to drink, and does not have any chemicals added so I do not need to age it. When I set up the tank, I used the recommended dosage of stress zyme to start up the biological system and will again add some at 1 week and 2 weeks after the initial setup as the directions recommend. I know how to treat fin rot, but am just having trouble diagnosing it as I have seen some pictures of bettas with this brownish tip to their tails that are actually growing new fin tissue. I don't want to medicate if it is not necessary and I appreciate any advice that you can give me. Thanks. |
Can you post any photos? It's going to be very difficult for anyone to help diagnose a problem we can't see. Your description sounds as if he may be recovering from fin rot, or that the fungal part of it is gone, for now, but that doesn't always mean the bacterial part of the illness isn't still very much active. If that is the case, it will appear to heal and then all of a sudden get worse again. This is common and because many medications for fin rot only treat the fungal part of the problem. Being a new betta, anything is possible. They frequently come in to the stores with issues, and lack of care in the stores will also cause issues. Holes in the fins are usually a pretty good indication that there is a problem. It would be a good idea to put him on a preventive treatment of methylene blue and fungus eliminator together for 7 - 10 days. This will handle the bacterial problem as much as any fungal problem he may be dealing with so that it doesn't get worse or come back right away. If you decide to do this, please don't use aquarium salt during treatment. The fungus eliminator has salt in it, and too much of a good thing is no good. It is very possible that the salt you are using now is acting as a medicine to promote the healing of former damage, but salt won't "cure" fin rot. Also, salt long term with a betta is not a good idea. They are very sensitive to salt content, so once "treatment" is finished for health purposes, the use of salt should be discontinued. |

Every once in a while, I get obsessive. Usually it's over something sweet, but that may be my sweet jaw whispering in my ear. Right now, cinnamon rolls are calling to me.
Sticky buns. Diet killer. Morning munching madness. Perfect. I like sticky fingers, we're hammering out the Insanity workout 4-5 times a week plus Aikido, and the whole clan is a little insane in the AM. At least before the morning coffee and the dogs settle into their beds again.
Here's a little taste of the WORC mornings… In the "freezing" So Cal fifty degree mornings our 100 lb dog's teeth chatter like it's Siberia even though he's wearing a fleece jacket. At least until he's been fed. Then he's fine. I think it's a sympathy ruse to expedite his morning meal service. Crazy.
So we've been getting a little Man of LaMancha on a quest for the perfect cinnamon roll. Well actually not we, me. See, Diane makes a mean sticky bun, she's been touting it since we first met almost 15 years ago. However, I rarely get them as a treat.
Once a year she'll treat me to a batch, just enough to make sure I stick around to change lightbulbs, take out the trash and keep the dogs amused. One of these days I'll get the recipe out of her.
Until then I'll keep seeking for a ultimate cinnamon roll recipe. If you've got one, help a guy out here and pass on the wealth!
One prerequisite for us is using Vietnamese cinnamon. It may look like a curly slap of bark, but is it amazing in flavor. Anytime we have a "good eater" guest over, we'll pull out the hunks of cinnamon and make them get all beaver on it. They'll give us that "You're crazy" look, but still nervously take a piece and start chewing. After a couple seconds the burrowed brows widen in amazement as the bark magically transforms into a red-hot-esque tidbit. Try doing that with regular cinnamon.
Here's my first attempt in finding the ultimate cinnamon roll. It comes from the gents writing the Neiman Marcus Taste cookbook. They transformed their classic Monkey Bread recipe into a rolled delight. It is quite good, although I'm still irritated with myself for forgetting to add raisins during my pre-coffee stupor when I was making these. Maybe if I make my teeth chatter every morning Diane will make me a sympathy batch of her rolls.

add melted butter & gently spread evenly over dough
gently blend butter, sugar, cinnamon & then roll
Cinnamon Roll Recipe
Yield: 12 rolls
Adapted from the Neiman Marcus Taste cookbook
- 1 c (235ml) Milk
- 4 t (10g) Active Dry Yeast, 1 1/2 packets
- 1/4 c (50g) Sugar
- 1 t (5g) Sea Salt
- 1/2 c (115g or 1 stick) unsalted Butter, melted
- 3 1/4 c (400g) all-purpose Flour
- 1/2 c (115 g or 1 stick) unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 c (200g) Brown Sugar
- 1/4 c (50g) granular Sugar
- 2 1/2 T (5g) ground Cinnamon (or 3 T freshly grated Vietnamese cinnamon if you can get it)
- 2 oz (55g) Cream Cheese, at room temp.
- 1 c (115g) Confetioner's Sugar
- 2 T (30ml) Milk
Cinnamon Filling
- Gently warm the milk in a saucepan to 110°F (lukewarm bath temp.) Pour milk into a bowl with the yeast, sugar, and sea salt. Stir to combine and dissolve yeast. Stir in the melted butter.
- Mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. You may have to add a little extra if dough is too sticky. Should be slightly tacky but not overly sticky.
- Cover bowl and set in a warm place to rise for about an hour or until doubled in volume.
- When dough is almost done rising, melt cinnamon filling butter. Combine sugars and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
- Put dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll dough out to approx. 1/4" thick and 18"x14".
- Spread Cinnamon Filling's melted butter evenly across the top surface. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mix over dough. Beginning with the longer side facing you, use both hand to roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 even sections, approx. 1 1/2" wide.
- Place the rolls cut side up in the buttered baking dish. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Bake the rolls for approx. 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes.
- While cinnamon rolls cool, make icing. Combine the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and milk in a bowl and mix until smooth. Pour icing over cinnamon rolls and serve.
Lightly butter a 9x11 baking dish
While rolls rise preheat oven to 350°F.

Public Information Notice: IMF Concludes Article IV Consultation with the Republic of Yemen
March 8, 2001
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. |
On February 28, 2001 the Executive Board concluded the 2000 Article IV consultation with the Republic of Yemen.1
Macroeconomic balances improved dramatically in 1999-2000 as a result of higher oil prices, the maintenance of high interest rates and expenditure restraint. Average annual inflation was brought down to 8 percent in 1999 and reserves rebuilt by more to the equivalent of six months of imports by end-1999. The buildup of reserves continued in 2000, to more than ten months of imports by end-2000. However, average annual inflation rate rose to 10.9 percent. Real economic growth in 1999 was below target at an estimated 3.8 percent, reflecting: (a) a lower-than-expected increase in crude oil extraction; (b) drought in the first-half of the year; (c) a decline in tourism; and (d) a continued weak investment climate. Although spring rains failed again in early 2000, growth for the year is estimated at 6.5 percent due to high oil production and a recovery in agriculture after good summer rains. Long term growth prospects have received a boost from the agreement reached in June between Saudi Arabia and Yemen on the settlement of long-standing border issues; in particular, this could help opening the door to a better integration of Yemen into the regional economy.
A dramatic improvement in public finances driven by high oil export revenue was key to the strong macrofinancial performance in 1999 and 2000. On a commitment basis, excluding grants, the 1999 fiscal cash deficit is estimated at 0.4 percent of GDP, compared with a 7.9 percent deficit in 1998. Non-oil revenues performed broadly as expected, although some categories of indirect taxes such as customs revenue fell short of expectations. Overall spending restraint in 1999 succeeded in keeping expenditure growth below the growth of GDP. Domestic oil revenue (net of cash subsidies) improved over 1998, despite continued substitution toward diesel, the most heavily subsidized product. Available data for 2000 indicate that expenditure growth remains broadly in line with GDP except for a surge in petroleum subsidies, especially diesel. This will be more than offset by increased oil revenue, and the budget is expected to show a surplus in the order of 9 percent of GDP for the year 2000.
While in response to mounting exchange market pressures the Central Bank of Yemen (CBY) had raised interest rates to 20 percent in early 1999, the turnaround in financial balances allowed the CBY in late 1999 to initiate a gradual lowering of the benchmark interest rate on deposits, to 13 percent in July 2000. The improved external position helped stabilize the exchange rate at about YRls 160 per U.S. dollar from mid-1999 through late-2000, following a 13 percent depreciation in the first half of 1999. Broad money growth has steadily accelerated since late 1999, to 25 percent in the year to December 2000, reflecting mainly the sharp expansion in net foreign assets of the central bank in the second half of the year which more than offset repayments of government credit to the banking system. At the same time, high interest rates and probably a better enforcement of prudential rules depressed private credit growth to 15 percent in 1999, while the monetary easing in 2000 helped spark a recovery to 21 percent in 2000.
Progress on the structural front slowed in 1999, albeit a number of important structural steps were taken: the privatization law was promulgated; cabinet approved time-bound action plans agreed with the World Bank for the restructuring of the three public sector specialized banks and two public sector commercial banks; and steps to improve the functioning of the commercial courts were initiated. Measures in 2000 included an adjustment of domestic fuel oil prices to close to world market levels, increased electricity charges to better cover cost, the promulgation of the reformed Central Bank Law, retirement of several thousand over-age civil servants, elimination of general import bans maintained for economic reasons, and the way was cleared for the privatization of a number of state enterprises.
The government has prepared an interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (IPRSP) and has launched preparation of a full-fledged PRS in the context of elaborating the next Five-Year Plan (2001-05). As proposed in the IPRSP, the poverty reduction strategy will focus mainly on promoting private investment to achieve higher growth, while strengthening the efficiency of public expenditure in delivering basic social services and providing infrastructure needed to allow the poor to participate in, and contribute to, economic growth. The government's macroeconomic objectives for 2001 are to achieve an increase in non-oil growth to about 5 percent through higher public and private investment, containing inflation to an average annual rate of 9 percent, and to use the oil windfall gain for achieving a small external current account surplus in order to build a cushion for the future. As to the macroeconomic policy mix, fiscal policy will aim to contain the non-oil deficit to 14.9 percent of GDP, while within a flexible exchange rate system reserve money targeting will provide a nominal anchor. Structural reforms for 2000-01 will focus on further tax reform, including introduction of a value added tax, civil service reform, restructuring of public financial institutions, and other reforms of the regulatory framework to improve the environment for private investment, growth, and job creation.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors welcomed the marked improvement in macroeconomic balances in 1999-2000 resulting both from the recovery in oil prices and from the authorities' efforts to restrain public expenditures in the face of rising pressures for a relaxation of the adjustment effort. The pick up in inflation during 2000, although partly attributable to drought conditions, was, however, a source of concern. Directors were disappointed that, apart from a number of recent measures, the implementation of the structural reform agenda had slowed since late-1999. While they appreciated the difficulty of building a consensus for difficult reforms in the present context of high oil prices, Directors emphasized that continued macroeconomic stability and sustained implementation of structural reforms will be the key to the expansion of the non-oil sector and a lasting and broad-based improvement in living standards. Directors endorsed the economic program planned for 2001 which aims to bring the inflation rate down to single digits, strengthen the external balance, and lay the basis for higher growth.
Directors particularly emphasized the need for current expenditure restraint in order to accommodate higher poverty-related social spending and save part of the oil windfall for leaner years ahead. They generally welcomed the planned reduction in energy-related subsidies as a share of GDP, and urged the authorities to adhere to the timetable for the diesel price increase. Directors expressed concern regarding the budgeted increases in the civil service wage bill and defense outlays, as these could weaken the civil service reform and build in higher recurrent expenditures in later years when oil prices may be lower. They noted the authorities' intention to implement the wage increase following the diesel price adjustment.
Directors highlighted the need for tax reforms in order to reduce the dependence on oil revenue and create a more investment-friendly environment. They strongly encouraged the authorities to redouble their efforts to ensure the introduction of a modern general sales tax in value-added mode covering most goods and services and based on a single rate structure.
Directors welcomed plans to tighten monetary policy in 2001 to prevent the reemergence of inflationary pressures. They observed that during 2000 one-sided intervention in the foreign exchange market, by contributing to real appreciation of the rial, has weakened incentives for tradeable goods production and diversification away from oil, and advised the authorities to allow the exchange rate to be fully market determined.
Directors took note of the recent Financial System Stability Assessment and welcomed the progress in strengthening bank supervision and reforming the commercial codes. They urged the authorities to make further progress in strengthening governance and the rule of law in this area. Directors encouraged the central bank to rapidly develop indirect instruments such as certificates of deposit to allow a phasing out of the administratively set minimum benchmark saving deposit rate.
Directors expressed strong support for the government's structural reform agenda as key to increasing growth in the non-oil sector and reducing poverty. They stressed that this would require timely implementation of the planned structural reforms to address deep-rooted weaknesses in the business and investment environment. In this regard, they noted that the implementation of the privatization law should stimulate privatization efforts and contribute to private sector development.
Directors encouraged the authorities to pursue civil service reform with renewed vigor in order to achieve a leaner and better qualified civil service that will carry out the overall reform strategy and address the governance problems that are rooted, in part, in low salaries and insufficient links between merit and pay. They also underscored the importance of moving ahead with reforms to ensure the sustainability of the pension system, by establishing stronger links between benefits and contributions, and more clearly circumscribing survivor's benefits.
Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to step up efforts to mobilize public support for the reform program. The IPRSP is an important step in this regard, and provides a good basis for preparation of a full-fledged poverty reduction strategy with broad participation of the civil society. Directors felt that the establishment of local governments offers scope for greater grassroots participation in formulating and implementing Yemen's development and poverty reduction strategy, but stressed the need to put in place safeguards to preserve fiscal responsibility.
Directors noted improvements in the quality and availability of statistics, and urged the authorities to redouble efforts in this area, particularly to ensure more timely and comprehensive fiscal and balance of payments data in order to enhance program design and monitoring, as well as public understanding and support.

Law Office of David P. Shapiro 7 Reviews
Best Criminal Lawyer I Could Have Asked ForMy fiance was at a party in the Park West area of San Diego and apparently he partied a little too hard, since I received a phone call from him, from jail, at 5 in the morning. Apparently he and a few guys had been intoxicated while making another beer run, and on top of that there was a small amount of drugs found in the car that he was driving. I was terrified that my fiance was going to go to jail for years, so I immediately began looking up criminal attorneys in the San Diego area. I called the Law Office of David Shapiro and did a free consultation over the phone with David, and I liked him so much that I went into his office that day and hired him. He was incredibly professional and...

Incredibly Awesome Criminal Defense Lawyer!My ex and I had a really bad break up and I left the house with nothing but the clothes on my back. A few days later I texted her to let her know that I was going to stop by and get my things while she was at work, which she was okay with. I packed up my belongings, along with my TV and laptop (which I alone had paid for), then went back to my parents' house. Later that night the police arrived and I was being arrested for burglary and theft. Huh?? Once I made bail I called up a few criminal defense attorneys in San Diego, and I thankfully found RJT Criminal Defense.

The lawsuits, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, follow scores of other suits that stymied the city's fitful attempts to crack down on an unknown number of renegade dispensaries. The new ones could launch another series of judicial hearings and thwart the city's bid to enforce its ordinance.
Some of the oldest medical marijuana collectives in Los Angeles sued on April 13 to overturn the ordinance, which will choose the dispensaries to be allowed in a lottery, a process the lawsuit mocks as "a euphemism for a municipal game of 'Russian Roulette.'"
The 21 dispensaries suing the city are among those the City Council let operate when it adopted a moratorium on new stores in 2007. The city's first ordinance would have allowed them to stay open if they complied with restrictions on locations. But a judge ruled that key aspects of the law were unconstitutional, and the City Council passed a second ordinance that relies on a random drawing to select 100 dispensaries.
"We've done everything, everything that the city told us to do, and we're still sitting here looking at a lottery," said Yamileth Bolanos, the operator of PureLife Alternative Wellness Center, a dispensary on South La Cienega Boulevard. "We're fighting back. We have to fight back."
Bolanos, who also heads a coalition of the dispensaries the city allowed to operate during the moratorium, accused City Atty. Carmen Trutanich of creating an ordinance that could take her business away even though she said she has followed all city directives. "The city attorney has not acted in good faith," she said. "We don't believe that the things that he's done are fair."
House of Kush filed a separate lawsuit on March 21. The Eagle Rock dispensary and possibly hundreds of others were barred from participating in the lottery, which is limited to stores that were open when the city's moratorium took effect on Sept. 14, 2007. "This discriminatory treatment lacks a rational basis or compelling state interest," the lawsuit says.
A third lawsuit could be filed next week, said Stewart Richlin, an attorney who represents some of the dispensaries that successfully challenged the earlier ordinance. "We're going to bring it ASAP for multiple reasons," he said, "especially to stop any perception that this ordinance is constitutionally acceptable."
The city has appealed the judge's decision on its first ordinance, but has also taken steps to hold a lottery. It has accepted applications from 231 dispensaries and has told 206 others to close. Jane Usher, a special assistant city attorney, said the city disputes the claims in the new lawsuits.
Aaron Lachant, an attorney who represents the 21 plaintiffs that sued last week, said he plans to ask for an injunction to halt the lottery. "We'll file it as soon as we can," he said.
Lachant said the lawsuit is intended to protect the rights of those dispensaries the city allowed to remain open in 2007. City officials estimate that about 135 are still in business. "They want to work with the city, but they have not been given a fair chance," Lachant said.
The lawsuit targets the lottery and the process of choosing locations for dispensaries. It describes the lottery as "discriminatory, arbitrary, capricious, confiscatory and oppressive," and it calls the process of allowing the winners to pick their locations in the order they are drawn "a game of musical chairs."

MIT provides a superb intellectual environment for the comparative veterinary scientist embarking on a career in biomedical research. MIT is recognized internationally for its excellence in both undergraduate and graduate biomedical science education. Capitalizing on these resources, DCM began training veterinarians in laboratory animal medicine in 1982 and has been a recipient of an NIH training grant for the past 24 years. We recognized the urgent need to provide the biomedical research community properly trained veterinarians, particularly those who can effectively work in research and academia. To date, of 48 postdoctoral fellows trained by DCM, all but one are employed in academic or research and development units. The purpose of this proposal is to seek funds to continue postdoctoral training of six veterinary scientists for careers in biomedical research. This will be accomplished in part by providing 1) a strong emphasis in the development of research skills needed for veterinary scientists pursuing a research career, 2) a core curriculum of graduate courses in biomedical sciences, and 3) an intellectual and simulating setting for research in the biomedical sciences. The six postdoctoral trainees will hold DVM degrees and some may have additional advanced degrees as well. The program will consist of three years of in-depth research training with an option to pursue an advanced degree. Participants in the training will include professional and technical personnel within the Division f Comparative Medicine and the Department of Biological Engineering. Two other academic units - the Harvard Medical School and Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine will also be involved. MIT faculty will contribute to the core course work;training in research will be provided with established investigators at MIT and other designated research laboratories at Harvard and Tufts. Research training will emphasize formulation of a significant research project, its design and implementation, critical reviews of pertinent scientific literature, data analysis and statistial evaluation, formal presentation of data at national and international meetings and publications of research in peer reviewed journals. Funds are also requested to support six summer veterinary fellows;these stipends will be used to introduce motivated, bright veterinary students to the field of biomedical research. These students will spend a summer in the same research environment in which our postdoctoral fellows conduct their research.
This proposal requests renewed funding for the Divisions training program for veterinary scientists focusing on biomedical research. We have received funding to train veterinarians for the past 25 years and seek to continue to provide the scientific community with veterinarians with a specialized background in biomedical research and comparative medicine

After a 12-year absence, Braid returns with a brief new EP, Closer to Closed, and it certainly shows the changes time brings. This is a much more tuneful sound from the band—miles away from the ragged The Age of Octeen or even their more melodic last record, Frame and Canvas—that puts them somewhere between their tangled post-hardcore roots and Death Cab-esque power-pop. The run of minor-chord riffs in the verse of "The Right Time" straightens out into a bracing chorus, and "You are the Reason" could be a mid-tempo slog, but its buoyed nicely by warm pianos. Closer "Universe or Worse" is the biggest stretch here for the band, spanning six minutes and dealing in subtler textures. Rather than fill up space, the guitars make room here for the rhythm section to drive the song effectively. It's an important moment because it invites possibility. Too many of these songs deal in a certainty of the darker side, and the emotions don't resonate as a result. When "Do Over" wraps on the line "now is the part where I break your heart" it rings as both false and a bit self-possessed. "Universe of Worse" on the other hand, complicates the band's sonics and that certainty, ending with the contradictory "I don't know, I never will know". That less ham-handed notion shows the right ways in which the band has grown. Closer to Closed is a curiously short return, and there's no plans for a full-length to follow, but at least the band pushes itself in these 16 minutes, rather than retreading the high-water mark they left on.

¿Qué aprendes en este curso?
Mental Health | Counselling Psychology | Psychology | IT | ||||||
Psychotherapy |
The course covers current findings, conceptual issues and theoretical debates in the following areas:
- Psychological research methods
You'll be introduced to a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods used by psychologists. You'll consider ethical principals and issues that surround experimental design. During lectures the conceptual backgrounds to research methodologies will be discussed. Seminars and workshops will allow you to put skills into practice using statistical software and SPSS. - The psychology of learning and memory
You'll explore development from infancy to adulthood through three themes. Firstly, how we gather and process information from the world around us, covering perception and attention processes. Secondly, how we use this information to act in the world, highlighting the ways in which we learn from the information that we have gathered from our environment. Thirdly, how we remember what we have experienced, covering the cognitive and biological machinery underlying short-term and long-term memory structures and how our socio-cultural milieu influences these processes. - The psychology of feelings
You'll explore the interdependence between feelings and human behaviour. You'll identify and describe how and why humans have feelings and identify the biological and evolutionary bases of feelings and emotional experience. You'll learn how developmental, personality and environmental factors affect feelings and emotions in the context of relationships with others. - The psychology of behaviour with others
How and why we behave the way we do in the presence of other humans. The focus of this module is to understand what psychologists have contributed to understanding our social behaviours according to the real, imagined or implied presence of others. - The psychology of thinking and communication
How we communicate with others, solve problems and make decisions. The module will help you understand the development of human communication, both cognitive and social. You'll learn what different psychologists think intelligence, how it develops and how it can be measured. You'll explore the internal and external influences on the development of reasoning and decision making. - Empirical project (fast-track)
You'll design and implement a substantial piece of independent psychological research including a formal report. You'll be able to study an area of psychology that interests you and present your findings at an informal conference. You'll learn how to interpret research findings and place them within the relevant psychological literature
- Psychology of mental health and distress
Mental health is a highly contested area, module will examine the theoretical differences between these perspectives, through examining the social, cultural, biological and psychological evidence for the causes and maintenance of mental health problems. These factors will be looked at in general, and also in relation to specific forms of distress, such as depression, eating disorders and anxiety. The value and efficacy of diagnostic versus formulation approaches for the treatment of mental health problems will also be explored. - Health psychology
Morbidity and mortality have been shown to be influenced significantly by various socio-demographic factors like age, social class and education. Which factors create the link between these inputs and health-related outputs is less clear. This module will explore theoretically based psychological processes and mechanisms (e.g. cognitive dispositions and beliefs, social support, etc) which have been shown to relate social inputs with health outcomes. In early sessions students will explore social inequalities in health. - Investigative forensic psychology
You'll explore research in Investigative Forensic Psychology that focuses on different issues relating to offender profiling, interviewing suspects and false confessions, detecting deception, identification of suspects, and psychology in the courtroom. You'll be expected to read about research in the area and to critically evaluate it in terms of generalisability and ecological validity. - Psychopharmacology
This module focuses on the scientific study of how drugs affect brain function and how such research furthers our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying behaviour. Topics covered in this module include recreational and abusive use of drugs, cognitive enhancing drugs, the cannabinoid system and the therapeutic potential of cannabis, and in-depth coverage of the drugs used to treat schizophrenia, anxiety and mood disorders. In these last three lectures, we will look at the use of animals in drug development in clinical psychopharmacology and discuss future avenues of research to develop more acceptable medications for mental health problems. - Psychology of addictive behaviour
Conceptual issues surrounding the utility of theories will be addressed, and the empirical evidence for or against each theory will be discussed. You'll have the opportunity to consider recent theories which attempt to synthesise extant models into a comprehensive account of addiction. You'll have the opportunity to apply, and critically evaluate a number of theories in regards to their ability to explain alcoholism, both during seminars and in their coursework assignment. Finally, various treatment and preventative approaches, and the evidence for and against each will be examined. - Psychology of inter and intra group processes
You'll consider how groups interact with one another (inter-group processes) and also how group members function within the group (intra-group processes). The module combines basic and theory with real social applications. Seminars provide an opportunity to explore issues and research in more depth, and apply theory to real life situations. As well assessment via a short essay and final exam, you'll be required to make a short group presentation. - Counselling psychology and psychotherapy
This module is designed primarily if you intend to go on to counselling psychology and psychotherapy postgraduate courses following their degree. Each week includes theoretical and practical components where students are able to try out various approaches in role-plays and triad work. The theoretical component of the module introduces students to key theoretical approaches in counselling psychology and psychotherapy (focusing on humanist/existential and cognitive behavioural) as well as covering various types of therapy (one-to-one, group therapy, brief therapy and relationship work). There is a critical emphasis throughout considering issues of power, ethics, difference, and research on therapeutic effectiveness and processes - Professional placement in psychology
- Applied behaviour analysis and autism
You may also complete any of the following modules if they relate to your career ambitions:
- Eyewitness psychology
You'll be introduced to psychological issues relating to eyewitnesses. These include theoretical and applied aspects of memory and suggestibility as well as consideration of methods of interviewing witnesses and their impact on accurate reporting of the crime in question. The issue of vulnerable groups is an important one in the context of eyewitness memory as vulnerability is often perceived as unreliability. Therefore, research into these perceptions, the reliability of testimony and interview techniques to enhance recall among such populations will be considered and evaluated. - Thinking: past, present and future
Cognitive Science is the scientific study of thought. This module provides you with the opportunity to explore some of the key theoretical debates in contemporary cognitive science, adopting a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the nature of thought and challenging assumptions concerning what it is to be human. The module will address the nature of the human mind in the past, present, and future, frequently using comparative psychology to identify those abilities that make us uniquely human and which mark us out from non-human animals and synthetic organisms. - Art, awareness and the brain
This module focuses on the subjective state of awareness as a phenomenal state, looking at both is biological underpinnings in the nervous system and also its cultural manifestation in art. While each level is important in its own right for the study of Psychology, so too is their interconnectedness because each sheds light on the other, allowing a fuller and more integrated approach and deeper grasp of awareness that is ordinarily available - Applied psychometrics
This module will begin by explaining test construction and validation in detail. Then goes on to consider a wide variety of psychometric tests available and their appropriateness for use in occupational, clinical and research psychology. Ethical and legal issues surrounding psychometric test use will be covered. You'll gain practical experience of psychometric test use. - Neuropsychology
This module begins with an introduction to the history of neuropsychology and its methods designed to lay foundations for the following content. Of particular importance is the relationship between normal and impaired functioning and the goal of deriving theories which explain both. The content areas examine different types of neuropsychological impairment, from traumatic brain injury, as found in Amnesic Syndrome, through the effects of strokes found in Unilateral Neglect to the pervasive effects of degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease. An important part of the module is an appraisal of the likelihood of recovery and efficacy of rehabilitation. - Development of brain and behaviour in infancy
This option focuses on infancy, a period of rapid development, and examines the emergence of perceptual, cognitive, and early social skills during the first year of life. Emerging behaviours will also be related to brain development, to facilitate a more thorough investigation of what happens during development. Traditional and more recent methods used to assess both brain and behaviour in infants will also be considered. This module also offers the opportunity to consider a dominant theoretical debate in developmental psychology, that of the relative contributions of nature and nurture to development. The first part of the module focuses on typical development, while the second part looks at instances where development is atypical, such as in the case of developmental disorders (e.g. autism and Down syndrome) or the case of extreme environments (e.g. visual and environmental deprivation).
*These modules are currently available only in semester 2, therefore, should you wish to choose your optional module from this list it would be necessary extend the period of study from 3 to 4 semesters. This can be done readily by transferring to the part-time Graduate Diploma course after completing semester 2 and would incur no additional costs.
