It's Amazon Prime Day, and that means a large collection of deals that may or may not be a great value. We have a big post covering much of the tech stuff, but I wanted to highlight this insane Essential Phone deal that lets you have a 2017 flagship smartphone for $250.Less than a year ago, this phone was $700. A comparable Snapdragon 835 phone from Samsung (the Galaxy S8) is $500 . Today, you can buy two Essential Phones for the cost of the Galaxy S8.
On the bad side of things, there wasn't a headphone jack, or a MicroSD slot, or waterproofing. The modular accessory system was terrible, but it also didn't compromise the phone design much, so it was easy to ignore. The camera sucked and still sucks, even

The biggest downside was that Essential was asking $700 for its first attempt at a flagship smartphone, and that just wasn't good enough. Poor sales eventually led to a lowered price of $500. At either of those prices, you might have pause, but for $250? This thing is a steal. You're getting a Snapdragon 835,4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 3040mAh battery, which will blow the doors off of anything else in this price range. It will work on most GSM carriers.
Essential has

ahead of it, and in the future we might look at this $250 price tag as a "going-out-of-business" sale. The company has cancelled future smartphone development and might be put up for sale eventually. As a potential Essential customer, that means you can't rely on the company to deliver software updates in the future. As of Nike SBAIR MAX BRUIN VPR TXT Trainers light bone/black/sail/light brown uJmKZk
, Essential said it was still good for the original promise of twoyears of major updates and three years of security patches, but I think if the company is sold, all bets are off.

Dear parents,
on this page you will find information about the background, the aims and methods used in the PredictAble project.
You will also find information on how to participate if you are interested in taking part in one of our studies. Our research would not be possible without the children and their parents who are willing to give us a bit of their time!
The PredictAble Team
The acquisition of spoken and written language is one of the most important developmental steps in children, but not all acquire these capacities easily. Estimates suggest that about 6 to 8% of children suffer from Specific Language Impairment ( SLI ), a disorder in language development with no known cause such as general cognitive delay, hearing impairment, brain damage or deprived social circumstances. Furthermore, 3 to 10% of children suffer from Developmental Dyslexia ( DD ), a specific disorder in acquiring fluent reading and writing skills. Traditionally behavioural pencil-and-paper tasks have been used to diagnose children with language-related problems, but these can hardly be reliably applied before the age of 3 years. Moreover, so far research on language related disorders has mainly focused on monolingual children, despite the majority of Europeans are bilingual.
The main goal is to identify individual performance patterns in order to predict and diagnose developmental language disorders such as SLI and DD as early as possible.
Further, we seek to:cognitive mechanisms risk markers treatment technologies
In total, one technological and four scientific

from four countries (Germany, Finland, France, Spain), together with several PumaHYPER EMBELISHED Trainers black/white ub8eztiLHM
are colaborating.
15 Early Stage Researcher (ESRs) work in close collaboration with each other and with the experienced researchers of the host institutions.How is it measured?
Word learning and comprehension, as well as early reading fluency, are measured by classical behavioural methods combined with direct measures of neural activity (
, fNIRS) and
River IslandCasual laceups grey 2rSfzS0n9
that may reveal linguistic competencies at an earlier age than behavioural measures.
Speech production is measured by ultrasound imaging (see picture below), video tracking and acoustic recordings.
All methods used are non-invasive and free of any known risks for the participants.
All experiments are run in a child-friendly environment by researchers who are trained in and experienced with working with young children. The time the studies take is also adjusted to the participating children's age.
We welcome children between the ages of 8 months and about 8 years of age (2nd graders, exact age depending on the local schooling system). Depending on the study, children will listen to unknown sounds, play with toys having exciting new names, or watch interesting videos.

Hi Everyone, I like the content and the advice, especially 8 9. Only I would only careful with the TedX as instructinos – I have seen some really artificial presenters there. I mean that it may not always be as natural, as with a friend in a pub. However, there are some masterpieces too. Thanks. Andy
Cricri says
As from next week my public presentations will be great. Thank you for these golden tips.
Amy says
I had a adjunct professor, detested the Umms, in regular conversation as well as presentations. He used to be in the army and in front of everyone in class he would stop me every single time I said an Umm. As a instructor myself, I didn't have the heart to tell him how wrong this was for young children and adult learners. It took me about two grad classes later to get over the Umms in my presentations. Every class member I had in his class would remind me of my Umms. Correcting someone publicly does not help anyone trying to present. Great article.
Sue Maden says
Good tips! I'm a big fan of #9. It's what we teach our subject matter experts who teach classes for their fellow employees. I love seeing that in your process, creating the PowerPoint is nearly at the end. We preach that but it's a hard sell. Because many of our SMEs are project managers, we help relate it to their world by comparing the process to a project execution plan. They wouldn't just jump into designing a bridge without a plan and they shouldn't jump into training that way either.
Patricia Lahner says
Great article and from the numbers of comments, many others think so too.

When it comes to what he considers "family values," there are very few topics that Rick Santorum won't pipe up about. You probably already know what the ex-senator and ex-Pennsylvanian thinks about homosexuality or birth control, and now he's promising to somehow (drone strikes?) abolish porn on the Internet.
But there's two social issues that seem to flummox this Catholic alumnus of what he calls "liberal icon" Penn State. That would be the child sexual abuse scandals within the Catholic Church...and at Penn State.
Santorum's campaign website statesthat President Barack Obama "seems to favor pornographers over children and families" by failing to prioritize prosecution of child pornographers.
"If we were to replace 'Barack Obama' with the name 'Joe Paterno,' could we say that Joe Paterno seemed to be favoring a child rapist over the Penn State football program?" radio host Bruce DuMont asked Sunday, referring to the former Penn State football coach who resigned after allegations that he ignored reports that [assistant coach Jerry] Sandusky had molested children.
Santorum attended Penn State and once sponsoredSandusky for a "Congressional Angels in Adoption" award. (The sexual abuse allegations had not yet surfaced at the time.)
"That's sort of an insulting question," Santorum replied, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "It's a ridiculous question, Sir, and I'm not going to answer it. You're welcome to ask a question. That doesn't mean I'm going to answer absurd questions."
It's not an absurd question at all. At least Santorum's answer wasn't as bad as the famous episode when he blamed the sex-abuse scandals of the Catholic Church in Boston on that city's liberal politics. But for Santorum to express outrage over every social issue except the scandals in his own church and his own alma mater instantly sets off the hypocrisy meter. We'll know it's topped out when he finally lays the blame for Jerry Sandusky on those "Penn State liberals" who gave him bad grades.

Q&A with Michael Nyenhuis, CEO of AmeriCares
Michael Nyenhuis discusses what made him decide to go into nonprofits, a parable about saving others, how technology has changed emergency response, and meeting those helped by AmeriCares.
Q: Tell us how you got your start.
A: I began my career as a journalist. While reporting on a story in Honduras for The Florida Times-Union, I came face-to-face with the reality of poverty in a developing country and decided I wanted to do something about it. That put me on a long journey that culminated when I became CEO of AmeriCares in January.
Q: What were some of the hurdles you faced?
A: Confronting the reality of endemic poverty and disease around the world can be daunting. At times, these problems seem so large and the solutions so far away that it is tempting to walk away to do something else. At those moments, I remember the parable of the starfish. A young boy walking down a beach littered with starfish picks up one and throws it back to the sea. When asked whether saving one starfish really matters, the boy says: "It matters to that one." It is true that we can't help everyone. But at AmeriCares, we help thousands of people every day and it matters to them.
Q: What are some of the lessons you learned along the way?
A: People die every day from easily treatable diseases. Imagine this: diarrheal disease is still one of the biggest killers of children around the world. What I have learned is that we can do something about that. It does not have to be that way. But, I have also learned that, ultimately, it is the local health workers and health institutions that will make the difference. Our job is to help them do theirs even better. That is why we provide medicines they would otherwise not have, training they need and other means of support so they can be effective.
Q: How has technology transformed the way nonprofits like AmeriCares handle large-scale emergency responses?
A: We manage $500 million of medicines and medical supplies every year. They are donated to us by generous corporate partners. Our job is to get them to the far reaches of the world to people who otherwise lack access to medical treatment. Without strong technological systems, ensuring all of this valuable medicine gets to the right place at the right time would be impossible. During emergencies, satellite phones and the internet have made a huge difference in areas where communications have been cut off.
Q: Describe your typical day at work.
A: I am not sure there is a typical day, but I have the privilege of leading a team of about 150 staff in Stamford and another 150 spread out around the globe. Interacting with them on a daily basis is a joy. I also spend a significant amount of time engaging with our external stakeholders -- donors, corporate partners, peer professionals and others. A big part of my job is to share our story so that more people will be motivated to help us help people in crisis around the world.
Q: How would you describe your management style? Who are your role models?
A: My role models are not the typical ones. They are instead a nurse caring for people in an impoverished community in Honduras, an Anglican bishop putting his life on the line for people who suffered years of civil conflict in northern Uganda, a young woman elected as a village chief in Liberia who is trying to transform her community. From them I have learned that true leadership includes passion, service to others and an attitude to keep at it no matter the odds.
Q: Care to share an interesting interaction you recently had with someone who has been helped by AmeriCares?
A: On a recent trip to Haiti, I met a group of young people working for a local nonprofit providing health services in a slum community. We were helping them launch a project to stop cholera, which is killing far too many Haitians. The project was bringing clean water and improved sanitation -- the best strategy to combat cholera -- to the community. Our work is to help them do their work even better. Seeing their commitment to help their own community was a great inspiration.
Q: Where do you see AmeriCares five years from now?
A: We plan to significantly expand our work over the next five years in the areas of emergency response and global health programs. Our goal is to save many more lives and build healthier futures for many more people who face crises caused by disaster and poverty.

Neighbors: Light-rail expansion could destroy wetlands, homes
LYNNWOOD, Wash. -- Gleb Shein likes where he lives. He likes the fact he can walk out the front door of his condominium and within feet have forested wetlands and walking trails surround him. But, Shein is concerned both his home and his neighborhood park could be in jeopardy under plans to extend light rail to Lynnwood.
"One of the alternatives for the extension project runs through the 52nd Street corridor," Shein said. "There are noise concerns, vibration concerns, and site concerns."
With all these in mind, Shein and several of his neighbors have started collecting signatures from citizens opposing several of the options Sound Transit recently made public in its draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Northgate to Lynnwood light rail project. So far, Shein said nearly 1,000 people don't support the idea of building a rail line that would run through part of Scriber Creek Park and result in tearing down the Cedar Creek Condominiums.
"Our main concern is the park," Shein said. "Sound Transit documentation says it will take out one acre of the park, but we will have pillars in place and electricity in place running over the park."
According to Sound Transit, extending light rail to Lynnwood, and eventually to Everett, will help ease transit overcrowding and provide more reliable and rapid transit service during peak and off-peak commutes.
The Lynnwood Link Extension is broken up into three geographic segments, Northgate to Shoreline, Shoreline to Mountlake Terrace, and Mountlake Terrace to Lynnwood. It's the last segment in the $1.2 billion to $1.7 billion dollar project that Shein and some of his neighbors worrying about.
"They are trying to go through a neighborhood," Shein said.
The Sound Transit document outlines three options for the section of rail line that will run from Mountlake Terrace to the Lynnwood Transit Center. The first option routes the rail line from 52nd Avenue to a station on 200th Street. The second option takes the line from 52nd Avenue West to the Lynnwood Transit Center. And, the last option Sound Transit is considering proposes a line from I-5 to the Lynnwood Park & Ride station.
Shein said he and his supporters are particularly concerned with the first two options for the line because they have the greatest potential to negatively affect the area.
"We are hoping for [the third option] because it's the least intrusive and doesn't touch our neighborhoods and our park," he said.
According to Sound Transit, the first option would affect the most properties, displacing up to 77 residences and 31 businesses along the proposed Mountlake Terrace to Lynnwood route. The study also points out the first option would include placing columns and a section of elevated rail line within Scriber Creek Park, which, according to the draft Environmental Impact Statement, "would visually alter this part of the park."
Sound Transit is currently collecting public comments on the proposed light rail plans.
The transportation agency is also hosting four public meetings to talk about the various segments of the Lynnwood Link Extension. The first meeting takes place from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 14 at the Nile Shrine Golf Course.
Shein and his supporters plan to present Sound Transit with the signatures they've collected at one of the public meetings planned for next week.
Construction on the Lynnwood Light Extension is slated to start in 2018 with service beginning in 2023.

Oh, Brad and Angelina, is there nothing you two can't pull off?
Critically-acclaimed actors, humanitarians, über-parents—and now, thanks to Wine Spectator, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt can add award-winning vintners to their list of accolades.
The magazine ranked their Côtes de Provence Rosé Miraval ($28) number 84 on their top 100 wines of 2013 list, giving it a better-than-respectable score of 90 out of 100 points—a number reserved for "wines of superior character and style," according to their point scale. Managing editor Kim Marcus wrote that it was "Refined and elegant, offering pure and concentrated flavors of dried red berry, tangerine and melon."
When the first 6,000 bottles of rosé were released last spring, they sold out in only 5 hours. And earlier this month, Wine Spectator reported that a single autographed barrel (about 300 bottles) fetched more than $13,000 (about double its market value) at a charity auction in Provence.
How did the Jolie-Pitts get into the wine game? A few years ago they started leasing the 17th-century wine estate Château Miraval in Provence as a vacation home, and last year they bought it for a reported $60 million. Then they teamed up with Famille Perrin, a well-known organic winemaker based nearby, to harvest, produce, and distribute the vino. (You can read about Miraval's three debut wines—a red and a white are also in the works—and gawk at photos of the terraced grapevines on the vineyard's web site.)
Apparently the Hollywood power couple has taken an active role in the production process and is also upgrading the facilities at the 1,200-acre property. "They want to ensure they are making the best Provence wines they can. They were present at the blending sessions this year, and are relooking at everything from the installations in the winery—where we have already switched to stainless steel tanks—to reworking the labels across the range of wines," Winemaker Marc Perrin told the British wine web site Decanter in February.
If you happen to be lucky enough to score a glass of this sought-after wine at a party, you can drop this fun fact to your fellow guests: The rosé that the Jolie-Pitts inherited from the last Miraval winemaker was once called Pink Floyd, because the iconic British band recorded part of The Wall at the estate in 1979.

Lois is baby number 4, I never managed to BF my other three for long for various reasons but I was determined to get it right this time. Lois was born 3 months premature and was very very sick. She had an unsafe swallow and despite my desperate efforts to encourage breast feeding she was sent home with a feeding tube and oxygen aged 4 months old, a month after she should have been born. From birth I exclusively pumped until around 3 months, when after being told I wasn't allowed to BF her I stopped pumping - I think it was a reaction to the situation and one I came to regret. I had a HUGE supply in the freezer so Lo had exclusively BM until she was around 5 months old. We tried a formula when we knew the BM was running low with a view to moving over, and we discovered a milk allergy. So I decided to re-lactate rather than give her the awful alternatives, and after A LOT of hard work and dedication I was back to full supply wthin 3-4 weeks. During the time I was pumping, we were allowed to start giving milk orally, so between bottles and comfort suckling, Lois started breastfeeding. Not long after, her feeding tube was removed and the day it came out she decided to exclusively breastfeed - this was the greatest and most rewarding achevement in my life! To go through all we had been through, it was so worth it and Lois is still now at 10.5 months old almost exclusively breastfeeding along with eating some solids.
It's been a very emotional journey with Lo with being so poorly and all the things wrong with her, but the highlight is breastfeeding her and our time together during nursing. My current problem is peoples view on feeding this long annd the comments I've started to get.
I should start by saying my partner is 100% supportive of breastfeeding, and for feeding as long as me and Lois want to continue. He has been a complete rock for me along this journey. But other people have started to ask when I plan to stop. I'd always said 'well I'd like to continue to around a year', but as we are nearly here now I don't feel ready to stop and Lois certainly doesn't - she loves nursing! As she's getting bigger people also seem less comfortabe with the idea of me nursing in public, even though I'm quite discreet about it. I feel like the stress of things is taking its toll on my supply and I certainly don't feel very 'full' anymore - maybe thats normal?
I think I need to spend more time around mums who are happy continuing nursing past what seems to be the 'acceptable 1 year limit' I've encountered!

Alien Sightings and OVNI Culture in Argentina
David M. K. Sheinin
During the Cold War, there were thousands of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings in Argentina (in Spanish, Objeto volador no identificado or OVNI). The mainstream media reported on many of them. In a field termed ufología, some events were explained scientifically or somewhat scientifically; most were not. These sightings and their stories lived on in a culture of thousands of OVNI aficionados and their literatures, frequently spilling into larger popular cultures.
OVNI culture disrupts chronologies. It offers a picture of Cold War Argentina that breaks with longstanding popular and academic chronologies that stress a dictatorship-versus-democracy binary. That binary is real. However, OVNI culture superimposes an often-neglected Cold War chronology on the mid- to late 20th century. OVNI stories and their cultural consumption evolve and vary not with reference to violent Argentine political and historical change, but in the context of a larger transnational Cold War culture in an Argentine context. Hallmarks of OVNI culture in Argentina include the enormous influence of U.S. popular culture, as well as references to apocalyptic nuclear weapons, and unscientific notions of psychoses in explaining late-night sightings of spacecraft and extraterrestrials.
Argentine Intellectual Circles and the European Crisis of the 1930s
Jorge Nállim
Beginning in the second half of the 19th century, Argentina became closely linked to the North Atlantic world, as the founding fathers of the modern state established a political order modeled on liberal principles, developed a dynamic export economy, and presided over a large immigration—mainly from Spain and Italy. These processes provided the historical framework for the impact of the European crisis of the interwar years in Argentine cultural groups and debates in the 1930s. The cosmopolitan features of Argentine society and intellectual groups, the country's political crisis in the 1930s, and the particularly heavy influence of the Spanish Civil War explain how the European situation and ideologies such as Fascism and anti-Fascism were processed in a variety of cultural publications and institutions.
Commodities and Consumption in "Golden Age" Argentina
Eduardo Elena
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the global trade in commodities forged new economic interconnections and contributed to the emergence of modern ways of life. As one of the leading exporters of temperate goods such as wool, beef, and wheat, Argentina was at the forefront of these trends, and the country underwent remarkable expansion between 1875 and 1913. Although export goods linked Argentina to consumers in Europe and elsewhere, these vital relationships were often obscured by the malleable nature of commodities, the far-flung scope of overseas trade, and the perceived divergence between rural and urban worlds. Within Argentina, similar dynamics were also at work, but commodities became referents in disputes over economic distribution, social inequality, and national development. The tensions between the export sector and an increasingly industrialized and urbanized society geared toward mass consumption raised questions as to how to manage the nation's wealth—conflicts involving commodities that parallel those of other Latin American societies. By placing the economic history of commodities into conversation with recent research on the social, cultural, and political history of consumption, this article reconsiders Argentina's "Golden Age" of expansion and its aftermath. The connecting and distancing power of commodities reveals how populations in Argentina and abroad experienced modern capitalism, including its signature transformations of the natural world and everyday life.
The Creole Circus and Popular Entertainment in 19th Century Argentina and Uruguay
William G. Acree Jr.
Theater in Argentina and Uruguay, which together compose the Plata river region of Latin America, has been a predominant form of entertainment since the 19th century. Theaters abound in Montevideo, while its sister city. Buenos Aires, has its own Broadway in the famed Corrientes Street. In the age of digital culture, the theater remains a mainstay of cultural life for Argentines and Uruguayans. The success of theater and the making of a theatergoing public in the region have their roots first in the variety of entertainment offered by hemispheric travelers to the region from the 1820s through the 1880s and then, most significantly, in shows put on by itinerant circus troupes in the countryside that only later filled urban theaters. From the mid-1880s through 1900 these circus troupes performed plays known as dramas criollos that dealt with rural traditions and explored issues of migration, social stratification, and tensions of economic modernization. These Creole dramas, like the narrative and poetic tales of gaucho heroes that informed them, became wildly successful, attracting spectators in the countryside and city alike, in venues ranging from makeshift tents to the most opulent theaters. They also became the namesake of the circo criollo, which referred as much to types of performers staging the tales as to the circus event where people flocked to see the new main attraction—the dramas. In effect, the Creole drama phenomenon expanded the presence of popular entertainment across the region and consolidated a theatergoing public. It also gave way to a new strand of modern popular culture in which storylines and characters reappeared in other media, and the impact of the Creole drama experience long outlived the spectacle itself.
The Cuban Embassy in Uruguay, 1959–1964
Roberto García
The 1959 Cuban Revolution, the revolution's subsequent strengthening, and the radical change that the process underwent beginning in 1961 marked a turning point in the history of Latin America. It implied the largest and most consistent regional challenge faced by the United States in an area where its influence had often been decisive. From then on, the Latin American Cold War intensified at every level. It was no longer about the "reactive" actions that took place among the conservative Latin American elite via the communism inspired by distant Moscow.
In Cuba, the culture of the "revolution" was established, and the consequences were far from mere symbolism: Cubans also launched actions of "alternative diplomacy" to lend institutional support to the Latin American guerrilla movements. However, there is no documented study on Cuba's role in Latin America. This is explicable in large part by the secrecy with which the Caribbean isle has made archival research in the country impossible.
Although this secrecy is understandable in view of its nature as a heavily beleaguered revolution from abroad, this culture of secrecy contributed to expanding a production of journalistic and essay-based denunciation that habitually lacked rigor and interpretive frameworks. Since 2010, a certain spirit of openness has existed in the matter, an example of which is purported to be linked to the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose historical repository has slowly begun to receive researchers, principally from abroad.
Drawing upon the anxiety and curiosity of the international historiographic community about the images originating from Havana, an initial approach and investigation was carried out in the aforementioned tradition, with the aim of shedding light on several of the actions deployed by the Cuban Embassy in Uruguay during the initial and intense years of the Caribbean revolution.
Domestic Service and Labor Laws in Chile and Argentina, 1931–1956
Inés Pérez and Elizabeth Hutchison
The regulation of labor relations and social rights substantially changed workers' lives over the course of the 20th century. Domestic service, however, was only poorly and belatedly protected under labor law, and its incorporation proceeded in a slow, ambiguous, and nonlinear manner. The specific ways in which domestic service regulation emerged in Chile and Argentina, respectively, offer insight into this process and also present some important contrasts, despite the nations' geographic proximity. In Chile, although the rights recognized for household workers were limited, the Labor Code of 1931 included an article on domestic service. In Argentina, the first comprehensive regulation for this sector was a special statute sanctioned by decree in 1956. In both cases, the "special" nature of such regulation was attributed to the place of domestic service in family life. As domestic labor was reconceptualized through legislative reform in each country, household workers gradually came to enjoy some, but not all, of the rights guaranteed to other workers.
Everyday Life in Argentina in the 1960s
Isabella Cosse
The 1960s in Argentina was a time convulsed by profound social, cultural, and political changes. Reflecting on the effect these processes had on the everyday, conceived as the spaces and routines involved in the reproduction of life that vary according to social class, generation, and gender, provides a valuable perspective for studying historical phenomena. It gives substance to and evidences the social nature of personal experience. Through that prism, the study of everyday life will be the gateway to understanding the turbulence produced by cultural effervescence, growing consumerism, the expansion of the media, the problems triggered by economic instability and escalating inflation, and the ruptures caused by political and social radicalization and the rise of repressive violence.
Family Planning and Reproductive Rights in Chile
Jadwiga E. Pieper Mooney
The official histories of family planning and reproductive rights in Chile started in the 1960s, with initiatives by Chilean doctors to reduce maternal mortality due to self-induced abortions; Chilean women's mobilization for rights surged in the 1970s, and the concept of reproductive rights became the focus within health policy debates only by the 1990s. Specific Chilean political developments shaped these trajectories, as did global paradigm changes, including the politicization of fertility regulation as a subject of the Cold War. These same trajectories also generated new understandings of reproductive rights and women's rights. The goals of preventing abortions and maternal mortality, of controlling population size, and of protecting families all contributed to the public endorsement of family planning programs in the 1960s. Medical doctors and health officials in Chile collaborated with the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and founded the first Chilean family planning institution, the Association for the Protection of the Family (APROFA). Since 1965, APROFA, affiliated with the IPPF, has remained the primary institution that makes family planning available to Chilean women and couples.
The concept of "reproductive rights" is relatively new, globally, and in its specific national representation in Chile; questions of women's rights gained unprecedented international prominence after the United Nation's designation of the International Women's Year (IWY) in 1975. International conferences, and the extension of IWY to a Decade for Women between 1975 and 1985, stimulated debates about policy norms that linked human rights, women's rights, and the right to health to nascent definitions of reproductive rights. Just as international gatherings provided platforms for debates about rights, unparalleled human rights violations under military rule (1973–1990) interrupted the lives of Chilean citizens. Women in Chile protested the dictatorship, mobilized for democracy in their country and their homes, and added reproductive rights to the list of demands for democratic restructuring after the end of dictatorship. While family planning programs largely survived the changes of political leadership in Chile, the dictatorship dealt a lasting blow to quests for reproductive rights. The military's re-drafted Constitution of 1980 not only compromised effective political re-democratization, but also imposed such changes as the end of therapeutic abortions, which have remained at the center of political activism against reproductive rights violations in the 21st century.
Folk Festivals, Community Development, and the Sugar Industry Crisis in Tucumán, Argentina, 1966–1973
Oscar Chamosa
In the late 1960s, the sugar-growing province of Tucumán, Argentina, was undergoing the deepest economic crisis of its history. In 1966, eleven large sugar mills closed by order of the national government, then ruled by military dictator Juan Carlos Onganía. The mills closure left a quarter of the province's labor force unemployed, which, in turns, prompted a massive rural exodus and a permanent state of social unrest. Paradoxically, at the same time, the suddenly impoverished region was experiencing a boom of folk music festivals organized by small cities and rural towns, including those severely hit by the sugar industry crisis. This essay explores the context of the folk festival phenomenon, analyzing the role of town notables and local civic organizations in responding to the crisis brought about by the closure of the mills. The festivals were, in fact, part of a wider effort of local towns to develop their infrastructure and social services. By organizing festivals and fostering community development, local notables acted as a counterweight to the activism of the working class, generating spaces of consent that aided the military government's plans to reorder the provincial economy.
Football and Sports Media in Chile, 1895–1962
Pedro Acuña
Football and media have become associated to such an extent that it would be difficult to discuss the history of sports in Chile without acknowledging its relationship with the media. Since the early 1900s, the media coverage of football—arguably the most significant mass spectacle in Chile—has become a unique place to evoke political sympathy and national pride. Before the gradual introduction of television in the 1960s, print journalism and radio were the technological tools that defined the ways in which Chileans experienced football. As narrative devices, sports media represented football for much larger audiences than those sitting in the stadium. In the 1940s, football chronicles may have been read aloud, and photographs of famous footballers were usually posted in public places for semiliterate workers too poor to buy sports magazines. Similarly, the pitch of a radio announcer's voice and the quick summations he gave to different plays generated their own visual spectacle and moral evaluations for listeners. Although sports magazines and radio broadcasts were mostly consumed in urban areas, they created new ways of experiencing football that enabled participation from larger parts of the nation.
The importance of these sources lies in their central role of making football a much more understandable sport to mass audiences, many of whom were illiterate. Most importantly, sports media became a public terrain for making claims about Chilean citizenship, including affirmations of appropriate masculinity, racial belonging, and class relations.

In addition to hoes and shovels, more and more farmers in sub-Saharan Africa carry another agricultural "tool": a cell phone.
Over the last decade, cell-phone use in Africa has increased fivefold, and farmers are using their phones to gain information about everything from markets to weather. For example, farmers can find out prices before they make the long trips from rural areas to urban markets, giving them the option to wait to sell until prices are higher. Agricultural extension agents and development agencies also use mobile phones to communicate with farmers, letting them know about changes in weather that could affect crops.
Farmers and agribusiness agents in Zambia are also using cell phones as bank accounts, to pay for orders, to manage agricultural inputs, to collect and store information about customers, and to build credit. Mobile Transactions, a financial services company for the "unbanked," allows customers to use their phones like an ATM card, says Mike Quinn, Mobile Transactions General Manager. An estimated 80 percent of Zambians, particularly in rural areas, don't have bank accounts, making it difficult for them to make financial transactions such as buying seed or fertilizer. But by using Mobile Transactions, farmers are not only able to make purchases and receive payment electronically, they are also building a credit history, which can make getting loans easier.
Mobile Transactions also works with USAID's PROFIT program to help agribusiness agents make orders for inputs, manage stock flows, and communicate more easily with agribusiness companies and farmers. Perhaps most importantly, the partnership helps agents better understand the farmers they're working with so that they can provide the tools, inputs, and education each farmer and community needs.
In addition, e-banking and e-commerce systems can help make better use of agricultural subsidies. Mobile Transactions worked with AGRA and CARE to develop an e-voucher system for obtaining conservation farming inputs. Farmers receive a scratch card with funds that they can redeem via their phones to purchase tools or other inputs from local agribusiness agents. Unlike paper vouchers, there's no delay in moving the money, and farmers can get what they need immediately, such as seed during planting season or fertilizer when it can be used most effectively. And because donors are using Mobile Transactions to distribute the vouchers, they're acting as a stimulant to the private sector, rather than distorting the market.

Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) is one of the largest integrated forest product companies, with annual revenues of nearly $5.53 billion in 2009. As an oft-cited example of vertical integration, Weyerhaeuser has businesses in timberland management, wood products, cellulose fiber, containerboard, and real estate. Cooperation between its segments allows the company to minimize transaction costs and to coordinate supply and demand internally.
However, despite these inter-segment synergies, Weyerhaeuser may decide to focus on its core timber business in restructuring efforts. In 2006, the company sold its fine paper business to Domtar, a Canadian pulp and paper company, giving Weyerhaeuser $1.35 billion in cash (used to pay off long-term accumulated debts) as well as stock in the newly merged company. There is speculation that Weyerhaeuser's possible future focus on the timberlands business is an effort to become a real estate investment trust (REIT), which would secure it significant tax benefits.
Regardless of focus, company profitability is affected by the timber market cycle, which fluctuates due to many external conditions. For example, the housing market and interest rates affect demand for real estate and wood products. Increased digitalization has also cut demand for paper--although this may be balanced by online shopping's boost to containerboard sales. The timber market and Weyerhaeuser may also be affected by environmental legislation, natural disasters, and the growth of cellulosic ethanol.
Weyerhaeuser is an integrated forest product company, meaning that its six business segments cover all stages of timber-based production. Vertical integration allows the company to minimize transaction costs and coordinate supply and demand internally. However, Weyerhaeuser may decide to focus on its more profitable segments in the future with its restructuring efforts.
Due to the nature of the timber industry, the company often lowers production and borrows money when prices are low, choosing to wait until the market is more favorable. In the past, Weyerhaeuser has accumulated a significant amount of debt. Ongoing debt reduction efforts is an indication of the company's strong financial health and improves its ability to endure dips in the business cycle.
Second Quarter 2010 Results[1]
Weyerhaeuser reported net earnings for the quarter of $14 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion. This compares with a net loss of $106 million, or 50 cents per share, on net sales from continuing operations of $1.4 billion for the same period last year.
The Company's Timberlands business segment manages 6.6 million acres of private commercial forestland worldwide. It owns 5.8 million of those acres and leases the other 760,000 acres. In addition, the Company has renewable, long-term licenses on 15.2 million acres of forestland located in four Canadian provinces. The Timberlands business segment grows and harvests trees for use as lumber, other wood and building products and pulp and paper; exports logs to other countries where they are made into products; plants seedlings, and in parts of Canada it uses natural regeneration, to reforest the harvested areas; monitors and cares for the new trees as they grow to maturity, and seeks to sustain and maximize the timber supply from its forestlands.
The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of wood products in North America. Its wood products segment provides a family of softwood lumber, engineered lumber, structural panels and other specialty products to the residential structural frame market; delivers homebuilding solutions to help its customers meet their customers' needs; sells its products and services primarily through its own sales organizations and distribution facilities, and supplements its product offerings with building materials that the Company purchases from other manufacturers; sells certain products into the repair and remodel market through the wood preserving and home-improvement warehouse channels; exports its engineered building materials and industrial hardwood products to Europe and Asia, and makes and sells hardwood lumber to manufacturers of furniture and cabinetry in more than 40 countries. The Company operates manufacturing facilities in the United States and Canada. It distributes through a combination of Weyerhaeuser and third-party locations.
The Company's cellulose fibers segment is a producer of absorbent fluff used in products, such as diapers. It also manufactures liquid packaging board and other pulp products. It has a 50% interest in North Pacific Paper Corporation (NORPAC), a joint venture with Nippon Paper Industries that produces newsprint and high-brightness publication papers. The cellulose fibers segment provides cellulose fibers for absorbent products in markets around the world; works closely with our customers to develop specialized applications; manufactures liquid packaging board used primarily for the production of containers for liquid products, and generates energy, of which 86% is from black liquor produced at the mills and biomass. The cellulose fibers (pulp) products are distributed through a global direct sales network, and the Company's liquid packaging products are sold directly to carton and food product packaging converters in North America and Asia.
The Company's Real Estate business segment includes its wholly owned subsidiary, Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO) and its subsidiaries. The Real Estate segment focuses on constructing single-family housing, and developing residential lots for its use and for sale. The Company's operations are concentrated in metropolitan areas in Arizona, California, Maryland, Nevada, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
The Company's Corporate and Other segment includes governance-related corporate support activities and Company-wide initiatives, such as major system and infrastructure deployments; transportation operations, including Westwood Shipping Lines and five short-line railroads, which provide services to its manufacturing operations and to third parties, and results of activities related to discontinued operations. The Company's transportation operations include its marine operations, which provide shipping between North America and Asia, and its railroad operations, which are located in the western and southern United States.
Timber and most timber products are a commodity good, which means that trends usually impact the industry as a whole instead of affecting just one company. As a result, changes in the timber market and fluctuating demand for wood products are the largest forces that can impact Weyerhaeuser's profitability. The way in which Weyerhaeuser deals with production is very important to its success against competitors.
The timber market is influenced by the general business cycle and the health of other markets that demand timber. Although an enormous variety of industries use wood-derived products in some form, some external factors that influence demand include:
However, the nature of timber production offers companies in the industry some unique advantages to weather fluctuations in demand. Since trees increase in value over time, companies can choose to harvest more during periods of high demand. By reducing production with low demand, companies reduce costs while their investments continue to increase in value, independent of economic influences.
Declining demand does not necessarily lead to lower prices. Timber companies can offset lower demand to a degree by reducing production capacity, thereby tightening the supply of timber goods as well. Due to the organic nature of its products, the timber industry has a particular incentive to cut production and wait out periods of low demand. Instead of harvesting more trees and producing more end products to compensate for lower prices, timber companies can reduce output and wait for market conditions to improve. By the time demand for timber products increases again, the companies' timberlands will have grown in both size and value. Though it requires patience and a belief that the timber market will rebound, many companies take this approach, as it maximizes per-tree profitability.
Chinese timber companies, however, have not scaled back production in times of low demand. They have instead increased production capacity, building more plants and mills despite declining global demand. The Chinese demand for timber goods, particularly paper products, is currently stronger than in the global market, and much of the extra production is consumed domestically. In spite of this, the fact that China is importing less paper from other countries exacerbates the already-decreasing demand facing U.S. timber companies. Increased Chinese production capacity can put downward pressure on timber and paper prices around the world.
Timber prices can be significantly impacted by natural disasters. Domestically, timber-producing regions are located in several parts of the country, exposing them to various natural disasters, from forest fires in the West to hurricanes in the East and Southeast. The risk of damaging insect infestations can also pose a substantial threat to timber companies across North America. In the case of hurricanes and wildfires, demand for timber is likely to increase as well because of the need to replace or repair damaged property, pushing timber prices even higher.
Environmental conservation groups often criticize the timber industry, claiming that its logging practices are harmful to U.S. forests. These groups lobby for increased legislation governing the actions of timber companies and protecting certain areas of forest lands. Congress has responded, and there are several federally protected forests throughout the country. The timber industry is always at risk of increased governmental regulation, though there have been few instances of this happening in recent years.
Ethanol is being touted as the new alternative to oil and gas. Traditionally, ethanol has been produced from corn through a rather inefficient refining process. Cellulosic ethanol, however, is a new form of ethanol that can be produced from a variety of plant products, including wood. The entry of cellulosic ethanol into the renewable energy market creates the possibility of a new revenue source for Weyerhaeuser. In the past, wood chips and sawdust from timber production were considered to be waste materials and discarded. If cellulosic ethanol were to popularize, Weyerhaeuser would be able to sell its wood waste to ethanol refineries and monetize what was previously discarded. The demand for cellulosic ethanol is being driven by a number of trends, including rising oil and gas prices and public concern over environmental degradation.
The paper and timber industry has faced the pressure of a shrinking market, as an increasing number of transactions and records are shifting to a digital format. This trend has a direct negative impact on Weyerhaeuser's paper business. The company's timber segment will also be affected, as paper mills decrease their demand for the raw material Weyerhaeuser supplies.
However, the increased popularity of online shopping creates significant demand for packaging material, as shipments become smaller and more frequent. This upswing will be beneficial to Weyerhaeuser's containerboard business. As a result, most predictions about how increased digitalization and the internet will affect Weyerhaeuser's total revenue are somewhat premature.
The timber products industry consists of a diverse array of distinct and interdependent businesses. For example, one company may own and maintain timberlands, while another company uses the timber to produce wood products used in construction. Other companies extract and recycle cellulose fibers, which may then used to produce packaging material and fine papers.
Weyerhaeuser has businesses in all major segments of the timber products industry. It is most appropriate to consider the market in each segment individually.
Weyerhaeuser manages 6.6 million acres of private commercial forestland worldwide and holds licenses. Despite the company's holdings, the vast majority of timberlands are held by small landowners. In the U.S., small landowners control 81% of timberlands, while the industry owns only 11%. This means that although Weyerhaeuser is one of the largest companies in the industry, it does not have significant pricing control due to the amount of private timberland.
It is important to note that timber prices differ depending on type and quality. Weyerhaeuser's timber is of relatively high quality, with 80% of the annual harvest consisting of saw timber, versus the 50-60% for the Plum Creek Timber Company and Rayonier Inc.. Analysts estimate the company's timberland assets to be at a 43% and 74% premium to Plum Creek and Rayonier, respectively.
Containerboard (corrugated case material) accounts for 32% of global paper and paperboard output. The growth of emerging economies has generated demand for containerboard, as more packaging material is required for shipments. Moreover, as online shopping takes off, shipments have become smaller and more numerous.
Global containerboard demand has increased at a rate of 5% per year since 1994. In high growth areas such as China, demand has increased 12% per year since 2000. Asia is the largest consumer of packaging materials, accounting for 41% of global demand, followed by North America (26%) and Europe (22%).
Foreign capacity has grown with the global demand, meaning that North American firms like Weyerhaeuser may not directly reap the benefits of expanding markets. However, in the long term, North American producers enjoy a natural resource advantage compared to producers in fiber-deficient areas like China. With its solid timberlands and its recycled fiber business, Weyerhaeuser is in a good position to profit on this geographical advantage.
The company's ability to compete in the global market also depends on the exchange rate. If the U.S. dollar depreciates, exporters like Weyerhaeuser would enjoy a conversion advantage.
The global containerboard market is highly fragmented, with the top 10 producers accounting for only 32% of total output. Weyerhaeuser is the third largest producer, after U.S. firm Smurfit Stone Container and European firm Smurfit-Kappa, which both specialize in containerboard production.
The range of wood products in this segment is diverse and its manufacturers fragmented. A similar competitor to Weyerhaeuser is the wood products company Louisiana Pacific (LPX).
Weyerhaeuser sold its fine papers business in the Domtar transaction, which consisted of more than half of this segment. One of the company's closest competitors in the remainder of this segment is Buckeye Technologies (BKI), a small company with a market cap of $1.0 billion.
There has been speculation that Weyerhaeuser may become a real estate investment trust (REIT), especially after it sold its fine papers division in the Domtar transaction to focus on its timberlands business. REITs enjoy significantly lighter taxes than traditional corporations. Weyerhaeuser may be an ideal REIT due to its vast holdings in timberlands, as the land itself may be worth more than the harvested timber, especially near high development areas. In order to qualify, the company must derive at least 75% of its total income from real estate transactions. Currently the only two timber producers in the U.S. with REIT status are the Plum Creek Timber Company (PCL) and Rayonier Inc. (RYN).

NeverDead begins in the waking hours of peace and calm, when the world is under threat of being consumed by a demonic plague. Centuries have passed since the world succumbed to an unforeseen shadow of evil, and a hero was made an immortal by demons. These demons have risen once again in the present day causing unrelenting mayhem reinforced by destructible environments within the game. Now using his immortalic regenerative powers re-assembling his own body to evade death, the hero carries out the only salvation the world will know, for he is Never Dead.
NeverDead stars an immortal hero called Bryce Boltzmann who, alongside his partner Arcadia, works for an agency tasked with dealing with demonic incursions. As demons from the dawn of time emerge on present-day Earth, so Bryce – armed with an arsenal of guns and a Butterfly-Blade – and the gun-toting Arcadia must locate and destroy the hostile invaders. As the malformed adversaries appear, the heavily-armed Bryce must protect his sidekick and work together to kill them all.
However, as the monsters get larger and more vicious, the side-effect of Bryce's immortality is revealed. For, as the player is attacked by the various miscreants, Bryce can be torn limb from limb, but can simply reattach the parts to his body. Even when all limbs have been removed, Bryce can roll around as a head, looking to reattach his lost parts. He can even use his amputated body parts as weapons, throwing arms into clusters of monsters, and still firing the attached gun, or lobbing his head into seemingly impossible areas, to gain access to new parts of the map.
"For NeverDead, we've gone all out to change the approach the player takes in battle," explained Shinta Nojiri, creator of NeverDead for Konami Digital Entertainment. "Losing a limb is a mere inconvenience and Bryce's physical skills allow a wealth of ways to take out the enemy – from close-range combat, to throwing limbs into clusters of monsters and shooting them remotely! This adds a level of humour to the game that brings the world-weary main character to life, while players can revel in game worlds that can are fully interactive and eminently destructible."
Konami has also confirmed that NeverDead will also be the focus of DLC elements and add-ons, further details for which will follow soon.
Key Features:
- Live forever and become immortal through a unique decapitation and regeneration mechanic that offers a different approach to 3rd Person Action gameplay. Detach your arm and use it as an exploding detonation device against the enemy, or tear off your head and use it as a scout within the level design.
- Fight in critical situations making use of the hero's immortality! Get electrocuted and shoot electric bullets, catch on fire and use your body as a light source, fight enemies in a hurricane or on the highway among passing cars and several other invigorating environments.
- Combination of various weaponry at your disposal including an array of guns for long-range attacks. Whip out the Butterly Blade to slash and destroy what is in front of you.
- Online co-operative and competitive "Challenges" against the enemy or each other. Play with up to 4 players and outwit those you're going against using the decapitation/regeneration elements as strategy.
- Destroy the world you are in as wide-ranging destructible environments will influence how players take out the enemy. Large-scale destruction includes entire buildings, or smaller-scale destruction with pillars, the floor and interior wall sections.
- Enhance character abilities with an experience leveling system that ramps up player abilities, weapon power and unlocking content within the game.

Without teachers, a school is just a building.
Without trained teachers, schooling is not education.
Without trained teachers for all, education for all will never be a reality.
Since 2000, the world has made good progress in getting tens of millions of children into school – but in 2008, that progress stopped. Today, 132 million children remain out of primary and lower secondary school, with little or no hope of ever learning how to read or write, with little or no hope of breaking the cycle of poverty.
The single biggest thing we can do to give these children a chance to realise their right to education is make sure each and every one of them has access to a trained teacher.
However, there is an acute shortage of teachers. To get every child into primary school, we need 1.7 million more teachers – 1 million more in Africa alone.
In addition, we must ensure that each new teacher - and each existing teacher - has quality initial and ongoing training. Training of teachers is absolutely vital to ensure that being 'in school' also means 'learning', but right now many of the children who have made it into a classroom may well be there with poorly-trained teachers – and could well leave primary education barely able to read or write.
We need to make sure that all teachers – new recruits as well as those already in classrooms – are well-trained, have access to ongoing training and are treated as professionals – with decent pay and conditions.
If governments truly value learning, then they must value teachers. The Global Campaign for Education wants world leaders to acknowledge that Every Child Needs a Teacher, and to take firm action to make this a reality.
Global Action Week is one of the major focal points for the education movement. Created and led by the Global Campaign for Education, Global Action Week provides everyone campaigning for the right to education with an opportunity to highlight a core area of the Education For All agenda and make targeted efforts to achieve change on the ground, with the added support of millions of members of the public worldwide joining together for the same cause.
In 2013, Every Child Needs a Teacher will be the focus of GCE's Global Action Week.
We are asking teachers, students, education campaigners and members of the public to take part in Global Action Week events happening all around the world, 21-27 April 2013.
Visit the dedicated campaign website at www.everychildneedsateacher.org
You can find out more about former Global Action Weeks here.
Every Child Needs a Teacher: Closing the Trained Teacher Gap is a report jointly produced by the Global Campaign for Education and Education International to identify the severity of the trained teacher gap, its impact on education systems and to make recommendations for closing this gap.
Download the report in English | Español | Français | العربية | Português (PDF)
The UNESCO Institute of Statistics has developed an eAtlas of Teachers which lets you visualise the gaps in the supply and demand for teachers at national and global levels. Through maps, charts and ranking tables, you can explore the data to answer questions such as: how many new teachers are needed to respond to the demand for primary education? How do working conditions for teachers compare across countries and regions? To what extent are women represented in the teaching workforce?

My favorite shirt of yours to date.
Well done.
I'd pick one of these up.
Like the design, but not sure how good this shirt would look on a person.
Re: Dead Technology National Park
Love this design so much! Woo, go Dekon!
Ever seen a real of 1/4" tape take down a Victrola as the sun sets over the mountains of tube computers? It's a beautiful thing.
I like it :D
LOVE the style and illustration. will definitely buy jewel!
I like this idea, and would receive much pleasure out of the pain it would cause others trying to read it. :-)
Love that text. Spot-on duplication of that travelogue look.
Re: MORDOR NATIONAL PARK
Dude, KILLER artwork. I think you added an extra D in the "admission" though.
Love the colors.

LOL, so true! GMV
Good times
kind of funny, but this shirt makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

Good looking.
Vereh nice. :P *Pthlbhth.*

Re: Visit Deep Guano Cavern
Many of the parks in the State and National listings are bat caves. Full of microchiroptera, or echolocating bats, they produce a lot of guano, known for its curative and restorative powers. Some caves can have colonies that live in the same area for centuries, and the guano gets pretty thick. You can visit, but you should wear wide shoes. Or you could become a permanent resident yourself!
please change the font, remove the extra D and resubmit!
Excellent color choices.
very funny... and well done! I like your moon one too. you must not have had too much sleep last night!
Even though I generally dislike your designs due to cute animals / bad anatomy / ect. I actually think this is very well done. It is a shame though that it isn't going to work as well for the ladies. Will look great on guys though.
I am a sucker for trees and moose.

Re: Where Demons Are Many
After those retro posters.
Awesome. Especially when compared to the other LOTR one right next to yours.
The sign is kinda throwin' me somehow. Yeah admission is misspelled, but its more than that. The words don't fit on the sign very well, you might want to adjust them a bit.
Overall, great job though.

Hampton High Speed Tolls To Close for Snow RemovalBy Gretyl Macalaster
Union Leader Correspondent
February 13. 2013 10:28AM
HAMPTON - Open road toll lanes at Hampton Toll Plaza will be closed from 6 p.m. Thursday through 5 a.m. on Friday for snow removal.
Snow along the shoulders and against the barrier of the high-speed lanes will be removed during the closure.
All motorists will be guided via signs and traffic cones to the non-ORT portion of the toll plaza during the closure.
