No sex, please, we're British
Advertisers in continental Europe favour the keyword "sex" when buying ads on search engines, according to new research by LemonAd.
But in the UK, the most popular keyword is "Formula 1". The "S" word is top of the list in France, Germany, Italy and Spain, but ranks a lowly 37th in the UK, below "weather", "perfume" and even "euro".
The LemonAd research showed that online advertisers in Europe are increasingly using keywords when placing banner ads on search engines, with over 1,600 campaigns placed each month.
Simon Bright, UK managing director of NetCrawling, which operates LemonAd, says: "The importance to advertisers of keywords is soaring. They are now part of all online advertising strategies."
LemonAd's ad monitoring service offers real-time tracking of what online advertisers buy as keywords.
Top five keywords
UK: Formula 1, health, travel, MP3, cars
France: Sex, cars, employment, dating, property
Germany: Sex, travel, MP3, property, SMS
Italy: Sex, MP3, employment, webcam, cinema

En Psychro (translation: In Cold Blood) come from the small island of Cyprus.
Formed in July 2011 in Nicosia, by four friends who shared the same love and passion for the Greek Hardcore scene, En Psychro set out to disrupt the tranquillity of the Cyprus scene. Loyal to their Greek scene roots, they began as a D-beat band and since its members come from different backrounds of extreme music. Their influences cover a wide spectrum of hardcore sound, ranging from Crust and Hardcore to Punk and Crossover and Thrash, creating an explosive mixture which represents their rage against the effect the system has on people and nature.
The band follow, in its own way the DIY mentality and is against any form of exploitation of music by commercial means (sponsorships, advertising, contracts and profiteer collaborations) and only participate in like minded events.
En Psychro's first live appearance came a month after the band was formed at a local DIY festival. In November of 2011, the band records their first self-titled EP which contains six songs, followed by six months of continuous live performances. Later in the summer of 2012, the band participated in DIY festivals in Greece, where they were greeted by the fans with excitement and have since established a strong fan base in Greece.
At the moment the band is recording their LP entitled 'Faceless Mass' which will be released in early 2013 and which will contain re-recorded songs from the EP plus eight more songs, two of which will be in English.
George Karakasian :vocals/guitar ( see .Aposynthesis, Within the Walls, Downward Spiral).

Greatness Requires MUCH/
God's greatest promises require much of us.Most often, before we arrive at the promises of God, it requires a long hard journey from us.
All Joshua had to lean on was God's calling and God's promises.
In our lives when God calls us to do something great it will require much. We aren't guaranteed an easy road. But, we are guaranteed that God will never leave us or forsake us.Joshua 1:5Hebrews 13:5
The question is: Are we willing to give much in order for God to do great things through us?

Most South Africans are totally unaware that there are over 1 000 known species of bees in Southern Africa
Carpenter bee Xylocopa caffra
I have had an interest in honey bees since a was a young child and have kept hives since I was a teenager. Although I was aware that there were other bee species from an early age I knew little about them until many years later. My interest in wild bees was awaked in 1988 while visiting the Garten der Schmetterlinge Friedrichsruh http://www.garten-der-schmetterlinge.de/schmettmain.html , Butterfly Garden Friedrichsruh the ancestral home of Otto von Bismarck the first Imperial Chancellor (Reichskanzler) of the German Empire which is situated a few kilometers east of Hamburg.
Giant carpenter bee xylocopa flavorufa
A year or two later I was given the booklet Wildbienen –Schutz in Dorf und Stadt Wild bees - Protection in Town and City which greatly increased my interest in wild bees prompting me to implement many of the suggestions in the booklet in my own garden in Durban and to closely observe our own local wild bees at every opportunity, an interest that has remained to this very day.
Wild bees - Protection in Town and City
Bees which are related to wasps and ants belong to the Hymenoptera order of insects, characterised by their restricted waists.
Bees are the most important group of pollinators, almost all bees are pollinators, but only a few species make honey.
Pollination is often an intricate interaction between the plant and the pollinator both pollinator and plant biodiversity together maintain healthy ecosystems.
Wild bees
South Africa has many unique wild bee species belonging to the following families;
Colletidae - Membrane bees are often referred to collectively as plasterer bees or polyester bees, due to the method of smoothing the walls of their nest cells with secretions applied with their mouthparts; these secretions dry into a cellophane-like lining.
Halictidae - They are commonly referred to as "sweat bees" (especially the smaller species), as they are often attracted to perspiration, which are usually dark-colored and often metallic in appearance
Melittidae - They are typically small to moderate-sized bees, several species specialize on floral oils as larval food rather than pollen,
Megachilidae - are most commonly known as mason bees and leafcutter bees, reflecting the materials from which they build their nest cells. Megachilid bees are among the world's most efficient pollinators because of their energetic swimming-like motion in the reproductive structures of flowers, which moves pollen, as needed for pollination.
Anthophoridae - Carpenter bees which as their name indicates nest in tunnels bored into wood they are solitary bees.Apidae- Honey bees represented by Apis mellifera and Mopane bees Meliponula species
Wild bees are more efficient pollinators that honey bees
A recent global study investigated the role and contribution of wild pollinators and managed honeybees as a pollination service to a range of annual and perennial fruit, seed, nut, and stimulant crops across 41 sites worldwide. This study indicated that crop fields with high numbers of both honeybees and wild pollinators resulted in sufficient pollen deposition. In contrast, it was shown that wild insect visitation alone significantly increased fruit set, by twice as much as honeybees did, suggesting wild pollinators provide more effective crop pollination. Moreover, fruit set was shown to increase consistently with visitation from wild pollinators and increased with visitation by a diverse assemblage of pollinators independent of honeybee visitation. The additive interaction between non-Apis pollinators and honeybees has been shown to increase fruit set. Recommendations for optimal pollination therefore sometimes call for the integration of wild pollinators with managed honeybees. http://www.sajs.co.za/sites/default/files/publications/pdf/Melin_Review%20Article.pdf
Honey Bees
Twenty-eight subspecies of Honey Bees Apis mellifera (the Western honeybee) occur across Asia, Europe and Africa, but only two are found in South Africa, the African honey bee Apis mellifera scutellata and the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis. The oldest known honeybee specimen dates from 100 million years ago. South Africa also has a unique problem in that the Cape honeybee (Apis mellifera capensis) can become a social parasite if introduced in the other subspecies' (Apis mellifera scutellata) range. To remedy this, a dividing line has been drawn to separate the area in which Apis mellifera scutellata and Apis mellifera capensis can be used for beekeeping activities and no bees may be transported across the demarcation line.
African Honey Bee Apis mellifera scutellata
Honey bee pests and diseases
Much has been written about honeybee colonies around the world experiencing problems with the varroa mite pest (Varroa destructor) and diseases like, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and American foulbrood (Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae) as a result of human interferences in regards to selective breeding, introducing foreign species into local populations and many other factors. In most cases the decline in honey bee populations can be counteracted by environmentally sound farming practices that protect natural vegetation alongside agricultural lands to allow populations of wild bees to thrive which will do the pollinating of crops that had been left entirely to unnatural practices such as transporting honey bee colonies into the orchards and fields during the flowering period to do the pollinating in the absence of large enough populations of wild bees.
African Honey Bees are not being affected to any where near that same degree as the European Honey Bee which is kept in most other parts of the world because they are more robust and resilient to pests and disease than the European Honey Bee. This natural immunity has left the African Honey Bees mostly unaffected by the global Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) reported extensively in Europe and America as well as American Foulbrood Disease (AFB) is caused by a bacterium known as Paenibascillus larvae, so named due to the fact that it infects honeybee larvae

Attracting bees into your garden
Many of the more specialist wild bees are only attracted to our local plants therefore the bigger the variety of local grasses, ground cover plants, shrubs and trees that one has in the garden the larger the number of bee species that one will attract into your garden. The more natural the plants are arranged in the garden the more your garden will attract bees. Occasionally allow portions of your lawn to flower this will attract the most amazing number of bees including honey bees which will come to collect the pollen.
My garden with its very large number of plants species in particular a large number of grass species attracts the most amazing variety and number of bees species.
A plant that attracts an extraordinarily large numbers of bee species is Lilly Grass or Weeping Anthericum. This plant attracts more bee species from large carpenter bees to the very smallest bees than any other plant that I know. It is always interesting to watch these plants when they are being visited by the large bee species in particular the Carpenter bee Xylocopa caffra, because as the bee lands on the flower its weight causes the flower to drop down and as soon as it leaves to attend to the next flower it pops up again setting the whole plant in motion.

The Star flower Hypoxis hemerocallidea is a charming little grass land forb that also does its fair share to bring plenty of bee species into the garden.

Delospermun linearum, these little plants that I grew from a small cutting collected at Cato Ridge which I growing en mass in trays on my carport roof as well as growing in my grassland gardens is like a magnet to a very big variety of bees
Delospermun linearum
Nesting opportunities
Many bee species can be easily attracted to breed in holes of between 3 to 10 mm drilled into pieces of hard wood which are hung up in a warm dry location.

nascente, £8.99
The first African artist to make an international impact, banned from her native South Africa, exiled from her adopted America, Miriam Makeba is once, twice, maybe even four or five times an icon. Having returned in triumph to South Africa in 1990, she collapsed and died on stage in 2008, after a life so dramatic it continually threatened to overshadow her music. If the woman who earned herself the title Mama Afrika is still more revered and talked about than actually listened to, even in Africa itself, this epic retrospective gives an opportunity to assess the music that paralleled the life. And it makes fascinating, often surprising listening.
While Makeba emerged on to a burgeoning South African music scene buzzing with jazz and gospel influences, in the early Fifties, her early recordings sound tentative, even polite to modern ears. Yet there's a touching gravity that marks out her slightly warbling contralto on the delightful lullaby-like Ntyilo Ntyilo, and the beautifully handled show tune The Back of the Moon, from the all-black musical King Kong, shows she had the poise of an all-round international entertainer before she even set foot outside South Africa. Pata Pata, recorded when she was the darling of Broadway during the honeymoon period of her exile in Sixties' America, has a confident bounce.
But it was after she had taken refuge in the West African state of Guinea that her music took on a real African looseness and earthiness with the spirited Amompondo and Teya Teya. Yet even here her sensibility kept one foot in mainstream showbiz: L'Enfant et la Gazelle is exquisite precisely because it's a corny French ballad.
The second volume shows Makeba's silver-tinged voice moving very effectively into soul and funk in the Seventies. For What It's Worth turns Buffalo Springfield's hippy anthem into a piece of horn-laden "conscious" Afro-soul, while Murtala sees Makeba in hard-core lecturing mode, delivering the results of a resolution of the Organisation of African Unity over a languid soul groove.
This is a moving testament to a great artist who spent most of her life in limbo and had musical diversity thrust upon her. If Makeba's attempts to unite cultures and causes weren't always successful they bore fruit in music that reflects not only an extraordinary individual, but the tumultuous times she lived through.

At the edge of a brilliant blue sky, a cloud appears,
slowly grows bigger until it shuts out the sun.
You stand in front of your drawer, your eyes open.
The shirt you need is there, but you don't see it.
Your car keys disappear into a black hole.
We can't find them anywhere.
The phone company threatens to cut off service.
You haven't paid the bill in four months.
What cruel hand controls the dimmer switch
that eclipses the light in your brain?

Dear Roan,
Today is your Fifth Birthday. Over the past two months your brain has totally quadrupled in the power it wields, and you're freaking me out with how fast you're changing. You've learned to read. You've learned to spell. You've learned how to negotiate and how to be devious. You've become adept at video games, and know the difference between E for Everyone and T for Teens. Every moment you've been alive I've been following you around with my mouth agape and scratching my head because while at times I believe I'm next to you, you unexpectedly round a corner I'm not prepared for, and you make my head spin. I am so profoundly proud of you.
I have no idea how your future will play out or what challenges are ahead of you. I know that you are terribly kind-hearted and sensitive and that you have such a tremendous ability to understand what people are experiencing around you. My wish is that you will grow to find your own voice and be confident enough to use it.
Not to get too cuckoo on you (and I know I've got to keep this short because your patience for my sentimentality is waning by the day) but you've given me an unshakable hope for this world. I know that this planet is filled with mothers. And I also know that the way I feel about you is not unique, these feelings of primal love and nurturing are worldwide in the mother-sect. So I just need to thank you for this peace you've brought to me. When I worry about how much the world sucks sometimes I go back to that.
I go back to remember that my love for you is the same love that is happening all over the world, and that brings me peace.
Roan, my boy – I love you like crazy baby.

These hands of mine,
Are washed of this fate.
It's pale white,
To waste another day.
You keep wishing for the end, though the
Truth is yours.
Here's another night alone again. Are you
Surprised that I would never let you in?
Well it's the coldest of disasters. Are you
Prepared to be the energy I need?
Collapsing, you've sucked the life from me.
You seem to forget,
That I am not your enemy.
Not your enemy.
I am not your enemy.
I'm falling away from this,
With a lifetime of affliction.
What the hell is happening,
It's pathetic, we're suffering.
When your worlds are so apart
It's easy to collide.
When the coldness of this anger comes
Well I will be saved,
I will be saved and I will.

And now comes the next level of awesome: One Ton Shadow's animation of that excerpt! It's so amazing. Each image is a photograph or still that was manipulated digitally to add movement. It really enhances and illuminates Miles' narration of the except and truly brings the book to life. I love it! I hope you'll enjoy it too!

I think I might be in love with Tim Holtz!!!! Well his products anyway. I was VERY excited when I went into the shop during the holidays and saw what the postman had delivered. Amongst all the goodies were the new Tim Holtz configurations boxes, knobs and feet and his gorgeous new tissue tape. Well Marisa kindly agreed to me taking some of it home to play with, and this is what I created. Whilst its not as grungy and 'old' as Tim's designs it is a good reflection of things that are important to me and my family.
I would have like time to browse around the op-shops and go through everyones 'trash' to find lots of old and minature items but time wasn't on my side. I think I did well fumbling across some mini items at home.
In the mix I've got the word Create - of course for Create On Garden
Tools - for hubby
Tech Deck - for my son Alex
Teddy - for daughter Maddi
a Peg - because of all the washing I do (not sure why it says smile)
Coffee pot and Cup - obvious!! Create sells the best coffee.
Pretty Cupcake which doubles as lipgloss - for the girls
White pickett fence to symbolise a happy family
Fork and Spoon - hmmm - we all have to eat
and who doesn't love to scrap with butterflies, flowers and buttons.
Now it's ALMOST done. Think I might put the year on it somewhere and then I can attach the back feet . This was such a fun project to do and in effect is a nice memory of this time in our lives. I'm sure my eyes are now open for minature treasures just begging to be immortalised in my next project.
Bye for now and happy scrapping!!!

I used to have a problem with feral cats. I say problem because caring for them became to emotionally heart breaking. I fed them and befriended many of them. This resulted in finding homes for their kittens. One kitten had an injured leg, the human society found a vet who would removed the leg at a discounted price so that the kitten wouldn't have to be put down. I also know that the vet that performed the operation eventually adopted the kitten. But caring for them was also very hard. Most of the cats passed away, disease, malnourishment, and getting hit by a car. The last straw was the day after a major storm. The storm brought with it lots of wind, rain, and a tornado that went through parts of town. Though my house was fine, my yard had become a mud puddle. The morning after the storm, I dug a kitten out of the mud. He seemed fine, just dirty. But within days it's mother had abandoned it. I called local shelters, trying to find one that wouldn't just put the kitten down. Before I heard back from anyone, the kitten had died. I regret not taking it to a shelter or to KSU vet school even if they were just going to put it down. I assuming that it had internal bleeding which lead to it's passing. That's when I stopped putting out food.
Fast forward to early September 2013; a white and brown spotted female started hanging out near my porch. She was friendly and affectionate but malnourished with some kind of eye infection. Up until now I could resist, but for some reason, with this cat I couldn't help myself. I had to feed her and give her clean water. Since then she has gained weight and looks much healthier. Her eyes still have some problems but are not as nasty as they were. I've decided that she needs a home before she gets pregnant. Now, I can't afford another cat as a pet, I also can't afford to take a feral cat to the vet. So I'm asking for your help.
I have a friend who can't take the cat in but is willing to help with vet bills. So I'm posting these pictures, hoping this cat will find it's forever home. If you personally can't take the cat, please pass this on so others can see it.
UPDATE: Nov 16, 2013
A cat sanctuary might be able to take her in but will not be able to house her IF she tests positive for feline leukemia. IF she does, no shelter can take her. My husband and I have talked it over and decided that we can't expose are current cat to this cat if she is sick, even temporarily. Being in contact with the sanctuary has given me hope, so I decided to name her Hope. Hope needs a temporary home until she's all clear to live in a shelter or move into a forever home. Please share this!

What excites us? – new things/phases/starts, end of waits, challenges, opposite sex, music, nature, life, death (probably for some?), love, making love, memories, thoughts (empty or otherwise), pain (reminds me of: "My Pain is caused by my Pleasure" – GodSmack), doping, drinking, sitting under a moonlit sea shore sky, alone atop a hill, questions, answers, unanswered questions, wants, movies, etc., etc.,
Then, am listening to this band – "A Perfect Circle" – a very cool side project of James Maynard Keenan of "TOOL" (which is another superb band)… blasting this song "Believe" a pretty sober yet a primal piece much akin to the signature Tool sound. (I will talk about Tool some other day)
so there are lots of things that excite us. Life's pretty exciting, exciting times come and go. Now there's a downer to this as well, come to think of it -excitement as such is more a positive feeling, then again NO! – its just an empty feeling that fades off—- pretty damn quick at that, before u even know.
But feels good as long as it lasts ain't it?
3 Responses to "Excitement"
Hmm. I agree. With a slight modification though – Good. Bad. Super-bad. Bad. And then super-good. 🙂

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'iPhone' started by doug in albq, Jul 5, 2009.
Apple, you know it...and refuse to show it!
Yep, would solve a lot of issues.
And Apple a fortune in reconditioning units, surely?
Why would you need calibration it's pointless
Given the amount of people posting here about taking their handsets back due to screens with poor colour calibration or temperature, it's clearly not pointless.
One of the things that's making it easier for me not to upgrade my 2G to a 3GS is the colour warmth of the screen.
Really? It isn't even bad looking, just different.
100% agree only stupid people would get it replaced over this it's a Tiny bit different apple shouldn't give you a new phone though
and how do you know for sure that your replacement won't have defects ahhhh stupid people got to love them
I like my screen,
but it is a matter of preference.
it should not be that hard for Apple to come up with a menu enabling setting up the screen.
Agreed 100%.
Just this weekend, I was wishing apple had provided a means to calibrate the display.
We can calibrate computer displays... why not calibrate our mobile display as well? I don't hate warmer screens but mine is ridiculous to the point where it's just bad looking. It looks like someone took a lighter to the bottom and accidentally burned the bottom half of my screen.
Things in being subjective shocker.
its not like the iphone is used for graphic work is it?.. so why does it matter. get a life.
Why do people struggle to hard so make graphic work perfect, if people don't care about the screen quality of device that they're viewing the graphics on?
Mine is - I do plenty of photo proof review on it.
And anyway, why wouldn't how visable your screen is matter?
Apathetics vs perfectionists this thread should be renamed to
Fill out Apple's iPhone Feedback form and tell them! IDK why people don't do this as if it's magically going to change without asking.
Even if it was simply a 3-button (or 5-button) toggle--cooler, mid, and warmer.
Apple should do something, YELLOW DISPLAY, is arguably one of the largest issues with the iPhone/iPod touch.
I have a solution!
Make your Mac display really, really, really yellow and then your iPhone will look very white in comparison!
thats great
Seeing as the iPhone/iPod Touch touts itself as a media player, i.e. made especially for viewing movies, pictures, etc., it makes even more sense to be able to calibrate the display of the device.
Add the above to the idea that there seems to be a huge variation in the color temperature of the displays on these devices (whatever generation) and now there are many great reasons for Apple to do this.
Apple will never do it, and regular app developers can't do it. A jailbreak application could, however, and I'd find such an application to be a very compelling reason to jailbreak.
One can calibrate the compass, but not the display

FANCY a career change? You might want to consider becoming a counsellor.
The good news is you don't need to bother with the rigours of a psychology degree or its equivalent.
You can become professionally qualified, and get a whole lot of fancy letters after your name, with just a few hours of online training combined with an open-book assessment done in your own time, and "clinical exams" that involve testing your newly acquired skills on family members and writing an email to describe what happened.
One Australian correspondence course offers a fully accredited* Health and Harmony Diploma – letters after name: HH Dip. (H.C.) – and promises graduates "will have an edge over the other counsellors out there, who are only relying on traditional methods and getting ordinary results".
Investigating my options as a future holistic counsellor has immersed me in a swamp of randomly emboldened text, sudden capitals and wildly oscillating font sizes, bolstering my long-held theory that the more typographical variety a website offers, the less likely its claims are to bear any resemblance to verifiable reality.
But back to the Health and Harmony Diploma, which develops skills that "should be mandatory for all Counsellors in the workforce… [new paragraph, dramatic font size increase] Unfortunately it isn't…"
I'm not sure what "it" stands for here. Perhaps the wayward pronoun refers back to the tools for promotion of "complete wellbeing" to be acquired during the course.
These include subjects that are shamefully absent from conventional educational offerings for would-be counsellors: numerology, astrology, tarot, crystal therapy, angel therapy, flower therapy and palmistry, to name a few.
And, if you enrol now, you'll receive a bonus offer of a mini-reflexology chart that you can keep in your study folder and consult any time.
If that's not enough to tempt you, a rival Australian college offers a diploma course that qualifies you to call yourself a holistic counsellor.
Among other things, you will "explore esoteric signs and messages; make your own runes, learn to read a coffee cup, conduct rituals, manifest, discover the laws of the universe, meet your guides and totem animals, explore magical lunar energy and more".
It's hard not to be impressed at anybody who can get "learn to read a coffee cup" and "discover the laws of the universe" into the same sentence.
And, as if that's not enough, there's also a unit on archangels.
Prerequisites for the diploma course are onerous (Reiki I and II or an equivalent level of study involving "placing or directing the hands on or towards a client with the intention of healing via energy").
If I direct my hands towards a stranger on the street with the intention of healing, will that suffice? Or will I just get arrested?
Never mind, if you can't satisfy that prerequisite, you can always start with a Certificate of Holistic Counselling, though you will need some specialised equipment: "This course contains some activities that require the use of the following crystal implements – a quartz pendulum, amethyst druze and satin spar".
I'm sure I could pick those up in Diagon Alley. Actually, I kind of want an amethyst druze.
Joking aside, though, the scary thing about all this is that people with actual mental illness could end up in the grip of the coffee cup readers.
When anybody can put a jumble of letters after their name and call themselves a counsellor, it puts some of the most vulnerable people in our community at risk of harm and exploitation.
I'm putting together a rune to stop it right now.

Recently I've seen quite some people expressing their hatred towards Tapestry or Howard (eg, on theServerSide, on the Tapestry mailing list, blogs). Admittedly I made a mistake by recommending Tapestry to quite some people and organizations in Macau and now they're stuck with T4, however, objectively speaking, it is not the fault of Howard or Tapestry. Every one of us should take the responsibility for carefully evaluating any given technology before adoption, including its track record of compatibility and etc.
After all, all Howard did was to release his code for others to use for free under the Apache license. Presumably this is good will. In addition the Apache license clearly says there is no warranty of any kind. It's up to us to decide to use it or not. Sure, Howard might have made promises that he might be unable to meet ("This should finally crack the backwards compatibility nut, allowing you to have great assurance that you can upgrade to future releases of Tapestry without breaking your existing applications."). But everyone is entitled to publish his own objective and there is simply no guarantee that it will be realized. I guess some people are angry because they think they were tricked. However, I still think it is the responsibility of the technology evaluator to look for facts, not promises. There is no way to tell whether someone is lying or just wishful thinking. Ultimately, we are free to adopt something or not and it is our sole responsibility, be it commercial or open source.
Why is this an imporant issue? We, technology evaluators, must recognize our own mistakes in order to avoid repeating it in the future.

Formal Name: Republic of Yemen
Located in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen faces the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. It borders Saudi Arabia and Oman, in addition to Somalia at the Gulf of Aden. Land area is 555,000 square kilometers. Mountainous in the north whilst dessert spreads in the south. The Nabi Shuwaib, a 3,660 meters high mountain, is located near the capital.
The capital, Sanaa, is located in the altitude of 2,300 meters high. Most of the 22.22 million population is occupied by the Arab.
Yemen is prone to flood, landslide, flash flood and earthquake.
Flood (October 2008)
Heavy rain caused a flood in the south east of Yemen, which killed 90 with 25,064 affected in the late October 2008.
Flood (June 1996)
Flood occurred in June 1996 in the southern part of Yemen killed 338, with 1,820 destroyed houses and 22,842 homeless.
Earthquake (November 1991)
On 22 November 1991, earthquake measuring 4.4 on Richter Scale occurred 140 Km south of Sanaa. Due to the earthquake, 10 people were killed, 40,039 were affected and 11,900 houses were destroyed.
Legal System
The government of Yemen is currently under discussion on formulating legal framework on disaster management.
In 1998, Supreme Civil Defence Council (CDC) was established as multi-stakeholders committee to address the disaster response coordination and commitments by a presidential decree.
In 2004, the Ministry of Interior has established a Disaster Management Unit (DMA) to coordinate the disaster response agenda.
In 2005, National Team for Environmental Emergencies and Disaster Risk Reduction (NTEDR) was established under supervision of the Minister of Water & Environment.
In 2004, MWE started to introduce the concepts of risk reduction through multi-stakeholders approach. In 2006, the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) with the National Team (Platform) of Environmental Emergencies and Disaster Risk reduction (NTEDR) has developed a Nation Environmental Contingency Plan and Rapid Environmental Assessment in Disaster Guidelines. The Ministry of Interior developed a draft of the national Disaster Management Plan in 2005.
National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management is now in under consideration (as of 2008).

I've been learning English since I was 7 years old, yet I still have a long way to go in using colloquialisms. Also, schools in Europe teach British English exclusively so most of the times my initial choice of words is British. For instance, I would still use "Autumn" instead of "Fall".
Trevor speaks pretty standard 'merican English, with very few regionalisms so we rarely have any communication problems pertaining to language barriers, although he still laughs at the way I pronounce pomegranate and wreath and I laugh at the way he says fuchsia.
One day, Trevor was tending to the oven in the kitchen while I was doing something else around the house:
Trevor: Do you have a hot pad?
Mickey: No, I don't. (thinking this is what he means by it).
Trevor: Ouch! I burnt myself.
Mickey: Why didn't you use the oven mitts?
Trevor: You just said you didn't have any. (this is what he actually meant)
Mickey: Sorry, lost in translation.
[While we're at it, he spells it ouch! and I spell it auch! so now we actually say ouch with an A, so obviously we're not really in too much pain].

We get some very exciting emails through to us ladies at SaucyPans – especially so if they mention the words 'cake', and this one mentioned bringing cake to my desk at work, so of course I said yes!
Café du Jour has two branches across the city; one on Whiteladies Road, and the other one I'm more familiar with on Park Street. The Park St branch is lovely inside and always has a nice welcoming atmosphere. I've always tended to opt for a coffee and pastry when I've popped in, but the menu features some tempting quiches, sandwiches and other special French style treats from soup to croque monsieur, yum!
So, on one particularly dull Thursday I returned to my desk to find a huge box of treats, which contained a couple of different sandwich baguettes, quiches and cakey things – so much joy in one box!
The baguettes we had were the Baguette Basque (Cajun chicken, roasted veg, salad and sweet chilli sauce) and Baguette Chevre (Goat's cheese, sweet red peppers, French mayonnaise and salad) – both were packed with fillings and tasted good, although the sweet chilli sauce did overpower most of the other fillings in the chicken baguette, which was a shame.
Both the Quiche Lorraine and quiche with goat's cheese & beetroot were lovely – the pastry was just the right thickness, buttery and crisp. The quiches were pretty deep too – lots of tasty filling and my colleague's were particularly complimentary about them!
The brownie and flapjack also went down very well – look at François's happy little face in that photo. That is a man enjoying his brownie; enjoying it very much I'd wager.
Café du Jour deliver working lunch buffets if you're in need of that sort of thing; I'm still more likely to pop into their Park St branch for a coffee and a snack, but it's always worth knowing your options.
They often have deals on, so keep an eye to their Twitter page for details!

Union is in the news again as one of their citizens has gone missing, a beautiful 31 year old mother, Aretha Maria Fernandez was last seen after clocking out from her job at Ellen Sagar Nursing Home around 2:30 on September 3, 2008. It is assumed her boyfriend picked her up as he usually did, but has not been verified.
When investigators tried to talk to Maria's boyfriend, whose name has not been released, he and his family had already hired attorneys and will not answer questions without them. This is their right under the law, but it's also something that has raised a few eyebrows. According to a statement by Sheriff Howard Wells, "The most valuable person who could give us information in this case is the boyfriend and his family".
With so many unanswered questions there is not much for investigators to go on. One person, a friend of the couple, has been arrested for giving false information to them. What do these people have to hide? and why are they not fully cooperating to help find Maria?
According to her co-workers and family, Maria was a responsible, reliable person with a wonderful, sunny personality. Her mother, Susie Fernandez, reports that Maria and her unnamed boyfriend had been having some problems and Maria and her son were staying at her mother's home. Her boyfriend picked up Maria and her son that Wednesday morning and was to pick them up after work.
Maria was an attentive mother, by all accounts, and worked weekends so she could be present to put her son on the school bus each morning and be home for him after school. Family members also say she would NEVER leave her son behind, and fear that foul play is suspected.
A little 5 year old boy is wondering what has happened to the person who is his world.
Investigators are running against time with little cooperation from those who would know, all the while Maria's son is without a mother.
Once again, a relationship on the rocks, a mother who is somewhere with no car, no cell phone, no money, no personal belongings.
And a child left wondering with no answers..........

UNION, S.C. -- Investigators conducted a search Thursday at the home of a Union County woman who has been missing since early this month.
The Union County Sheriff's Office said that deputies, State Law Enforcement Division agents, a crime-scene unit, and the state Department of Natural Resources executed a search warrant at the home of Artetha Maria Fernandez on Blue Ridge Road.
Fernandez lived at the home with her boyfriend and the home is owned by the boyfriend's father.
The sheriff's office said that investigators were there at the home for more than six hours and found some "items of interest" to the case.
Those items were taken by SLED for further examination, investigators said.
Earlier reports from investigators indicated that Fernandez was last seen at her job at the Ellen Sagar Nursing Home.
But investigators said Friday that after constructing a timeline based on information from friends. co-workers and others, they now believe Fernandez was seen at the home on Sept. 3.
Investigators said that there have been no calls on Fernandez's cell phone nor any activity on her financial accounts since then.
Union County investigators said they believe it will be next week before they get any information from SLED about the items taken from the home.

–Says Eagles will reclaim their lost title in two years time
By Bamidele Boluwaji:
Super Eagles goalkeepers' trainer Ike Shorunmu believes that with more international friendly games, the senior national team will keep improving, saying the effort will pay off at the 2017 African Cup of Nations when the team will be strong enough to reclaim the title they could not defend at the 2015 edition in Equatorial Guinea.
The Super Eagles made up of largely home based players returned to the country after they lost 1-0 to Cote d'Ivoire and beat Yemen national team 2-0 in the two international friendly games played in Abu Dhabi and UAE recently and Shorunmu believes that the experience will help the players a lot.
"We all know the importance of friendly matches to any team even if we are not doing that to prepare for any tournament but I can tell you that it has added to the quality and exposure of the players. They will keep improving with more games", begins the Super Eagles goalie to the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan.
"What we are doing now is to prepare this team for the future and I must thank the FA for the opportunity they provided because in the next few months, this team would be more than what you are seeing today and that is why we are calling on the people in authority to still assist more in the area of more friendly games.
Shorunmu however thanked the football house while urging Super Eagles players to continue working hard and always ready to give their best whenever they are called upon for national assignment. "I can only thank the FA and also urged the players to keep doing their best", he concludes.

Invisible Feelings
In the sea of invisible feelings, these are the ones that make it to the surface.
Monday, November 29, 2010
I miss you.
Time together is just never quite enough.
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home.
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
. When we're apart, whatever are you thinking of? If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, all the time.

Sarah Mestrovic about her photo session with Andrey Bezuglov, held in collaboration with Anna Pavlova Network in Berlin:
"This shooting was a very spontaneous project .
Two artists that don't know each other at all meet in Berlin for the first time to shoot in this city's amazing scenery.
This background was found by the photographer Andrey, he loves the areas around Hauptbahnhof.
We started early in the morning and we had just two hours to shoot ,change places and outfits.
It was a very great experience to bring dancer's movements into a totally "normal" scenery.
People were waching us shoot just like if we were our audience and we had to keep focused. I tried to pretend that I was rehearsing in stage and no one was watching".

Book 31, Starflow River, Chapter 14 – Daolord Badlands
Ji Ning and Ninedust could both understand how Daolord Laya felt right now. Cultivation was like climbing a mountain; you slowly started at the very bottom of the mountain, overcoming many difficulties before you finally reached the top. The final step you took next would determine if you rose into the heavens or fell into an endless abyss. Daolord Laya had failed his Daomerge; clearly, he had fallen into the endless abyss. His soul and truesoul had already begun to crumble, and he could already see his future death. His path of cultivation was about to come to an end. Even though he had mentally prepared himself long ago, he would still feel great pain.
"I've cultivated for many years, but it all ends today." Daolord Laya shook his head, then let out a hoarse chuckle. "When I was young, I fought hard to climb to the very top. Only then did I learn how tough things were for my race. After becoming a Daolord, my every thought was consumed with taking care of my race…
"It's been too long, and I'm far too tired. I've spent my entire long life in the Terror Starsea," Daolord Laya said. "I've never even visited the Endless Territories."
Daolord Laya rose to his feet, then waved his hand and put away the triangle altar.
"Brother Darknorth. Brother Ninedust." Daolord Laya looked at the two of them. "I'm going to leave now. I plan to pay a visit to the Endless Territories and learn about it! In fact, I might even go off into the Great Dark. Before I die, I want to see as much as of the universe as I can."
Ning and the Ninedust Sectlordno longer knew what to say.
"No need to send me off." Daolord Laya strode quickly towards the exit.
The two watched as Daolord Laya left, both filled with regret. Daolord Laya no longer cared one whit about Thundersouth Palace, electing to leave immediately. Ning and the Ninedust Sectlord, however, still did care, because the various paintings hanging on the walls of the palace represented various techniques that the lord of the palace had left behind for others.
"Thankfully, he didn't go crazy." The Ninedust Sectlord shook his head. "I've seen Verge-level Daolords go absolutely insane after they failed their Daomerge."
"He trained since he was young and has cultivated his entire life…" Ning continued to stare in the direction Daolord Laya had left. "He trained tens of thousands of chaos cycles… but all of a sudden he failed his Daomerge and brought his cultivation path to an abrupt halt. This would be extremely disheartening for any cultivator. It makes sense for some to be mentally affected by it."
"Hmph. There are some evil Daolords who normally keep their worst impulses in check and are afraid to act too rashly for fear of being killed by other major powers. After they fail their Daomerge and are guaranteed to perish, they become absolutely fearless and even more detestful than before." The Ninedust Sectlord shook his head. "But of course, they'll die in their madness."
"I wonder what we'll end up like when we fail our Daomerge?" The Ninedust Sectlord suddenly said.
"When we fail our Daomerge?" Ning stared blankly. Would he fail his Daomerge? Right now, there was no way for him to be sure as to how he would react.
"Maybe we'll both succeed and gain eternity for ourselves." Ning smiled.
"Haha. Right. We'll gain eternity for sure." The Ninedust Sectlord nodded. "I'll be a Hegemon when that happens. We Ancient cultivators will have two Hegemons! Haha."
But both of them understood that the path to eternity was an incredibly difficult one. Normally, less than one in a hundred thousand Daolords would be able to gain eternity, and virtually all of them were ordinary Daolords.
Ning and Ninedust continued to calmly train within the Thundersouth Palace of the Starflow River, and both improved quite rapidly. Finally, after spending thirty thousand years at the Thundersouth Palace, the Ninedust Sectlord made his breakthrough!
Rumble… an aura of awesome power swept out from the Ninedust Sectlord. He opened his eyes, his face wreathed with smiles. "Haha. I, Redwater, have finally broken through! A Daolord of the Fourth Step… I've finally become a Daolord of the Fourth Step! This has been incredibly difficult. Going from the third step to fourth step was a thousand times harder than going from the first step to the third step. Haha… I've finally broken through!"
"Congratulations, brother Ninedust," the nearby Ning said.
"Yes, this is indeed worth celebrating. I was trapped at the third step for far, far too long." The Ninedust Sectlord smiled as he looked at Ning. "It was all thanks to this Stone Censer of Reunion. If it wasn't for it, I would've wasted another chaos cycle or two before making my breakthrough. I had already gained certain insights in the trial the Ancient ancestor left behind, allowing me to vault to a new level on this trip."
"With this step you now stand at the very peak of power amongst Daolords, Ninedust," Ning said.
Ninedust nodded, looking rather pleased. He was someone who had perfectly joined together two Supreme Daos. Now that he had reached the fourth step, he immediately stood amongst the ranks of the absolute most powerful Daolords in the world. He was on the same level as Daolord Skyaxe or Palace Lord Dawnstar. There might be differences in power due to different secret arts and different treasures, but those differences wouldn't be too great; they were all on the same overall level of power.
The more powerful you were, the more difficult it would be to go from the third step to the fourth step. Daolord Badlands, for example, had also been trapped at the third step for a very, very long period of time.
"Darknorth, you are no longer a match for me," Ninedust said quite smugly.
"That's not necessarily true," Ning replied. "Don't forget that I'm a Heartforce Cultivator. I've gained some insight into the illusions of the Thundersouth Hegemon over these past few years as I've studied his paintings. You might not be able to fully resist my illusions now." If he could trap his enemy in illusions for even an instant, it would have an impact on how any fight would result.
"Uh…" Ninedust blinked, then immediately said, "Hmph, I need a bit of time to solidify my foundation, as I've just recently made my breakthrough. Give me some more time to further strengthen my soul and your illusions won't be able to touch me at all."
Ninedust's face suddenly tightened. "My Dao is now strong enough. I've reached the Verge of the Daomerge as soon as I reached the fourth step. I should make more preparations as well… right now, I have no confidence in my Daomerge chances whatsoever."
Ning was startled. Right. Ninedust was now at the Verge as well.
The distant Badlands Territory. In the Badlands Everworld, there was a legendary place known throughout the Endless Territories… the Waveshift Realm! This was a realm that had been left behind by Emperor Waveshift himself. He was renowned as the number one Numerancy expert of the Endless Territories, and was far more powerful than the current Daolord Badlands. He was a mysterious man who appeared and disappeared without warning, and even the three Hegemons found it difficult to deal with him as his schemes and calculations were simply too frightening.
Emperor Waveshift had hidden valuable treasures within the Waveshift Realm. This was something he had said publicly before leaving the Endless Territories and venturing off into the endless Great Dark.
Many generations of Daolords had entered this place to try their luck, and Daolord Solesky was one of them.
The Waveshift Realm was a place that seemed to be covered by an enormous blurry barrier. The dim light of sunset covered this entire realm, and some cultivators could be seen passing by it on occasion. Most kept a very safe distance, as the Waveshift Realm was simply too dangerous.
Rumble… suddenly, a dazzling streak of green light shot out from the Waveshift Realm. This streak of light stretched out countless kilometers, streaking up into the heavens and piercing through the world-barrier protecting the entire Badlands Everworld.
Rumble… a second dazzling streak of bloody light shot out, just as wide and large as the first one. It shot out towards another direction.
Black light, violet light, azure light… a total of nine streaks of light shot out. These nine streaks of light looked almost like a peacock spreading its feathers as they shot towards different directions. They pierced through everything in their path, be it mountains or mist, but they seemed completely illusory. They caused no damage at all to anything they passed through, leaving even the grass completely untouched.
"What's going on?"
"What is this? Is something happening?"
The Badlands Everworld was the center of the entire Badlands Territory. Countless cultivators were gathered here, and all of them were puzzled, especially the Elder Gods and True Gods. However, when they saw the light shoot out from the Waveshift Realm they all realized that this was something far beyond their level.
"What's going on in the Waveshift Realm?"
"Is something happening?"
The Badlands Court was the paramount power within the Badlands Everworld, and its disciples all stared off in the distance.
"Husband." A married couple was standing together in the skies, staring off into the distance. The beautiful wife turned to look at her husband, concerned.
An azure-robed Daolord Badlands was staring towards the light, a complex look on his face. He shook his head slightly. "I was too proud and rash, too certain in my Numerancy skills. Compared to Emperor Waveshift, I'm still lacking by quite a bit. I just caused a bit of a catastrophe. I don't think there will be any way to hide this. Ugh. I only have my avatar inside, but big brother Solesky will be in trouble."
"Caused a catastrophe?" The beautiful wife asked worriedly, "Will it impact our Badlands Court?"
"The two of us should leave the Badlands Territory for now and hide for a time. For now, let us just leave an avatar behind to watch over things," Daolord Badlands said.
"Hide?" She had never imagined that things would be so grave that they would have to flee and hide somewhere else.
