Sunday, June 24, 2012 By the SilverBombSquad After a momentary surge in anticipation of the effect announcements from last week's FOMC meeting would have, the spot silver price has continued slipping from the $48.00 an ounce peak seen last year. This has made many investors leery of possible further losses if the trend should continue. The price of silver seemingly cannot even be discussed without the inevitable use of the "v" word. Over and over we hear it as the central theme of the repetitive "silver prices are volatile" litany, particularly from those who are incorrigibly bearish toward the white

U. S. Dollar to become second-hand currency as Emerging World Economies assert Autonomy By SilverBombSquad, 4/05/2012 Departing World Bank head Robert Zoellick explains that "the goal for China is the internationalization of the Yuan". Instability in the western developed economies continues to reveal itself in "credit event" aftershocks ranging from the triggering of Greek Credit Default Swaps to the under-reported "stealth" expansion of the USD-denominated monetary supply. Recent U.S.-led economic policies resulting from on-going tensions in the Middle-East have initiated an Eastern emerging nation "taking of sides" with Western sanction-hit Iran.

Posted by SilverBombSquad What you need to know before investing in anything Risk versus reward. This is the underlying fundamental dynamic behind every willful decision in life. Every time a choice in direction is made, it is a trade-off between the benefit to be gained and the potential for bad consequences. Disproportionate potential for a negative outcome of a decision can equate to a cost that exceeds whatever reward, or potential reward may have resulted. Alternatively, if the potential for gain is high enough, greater risk becomes more tolerable in trade. Most often, choices that offer the highest potential for

Posted by SilverBombSquad Monetizing the National Debt by rendering it insignificant through inflation. America can never pay back its debt. Unimaginable trillions of Dollars have been loaned into existence, created out of thin air to prop up the banks and the economy. America's national debt currently stands at 100% or more of GDP, with roughly half of that debt held by foreigners. The days of exporting debt are over, now it's time to default on it…one way or another. Perhaps Vice-president Dick Cheney was right when he said that deficits don't matter.

John Smeaton, for those of you not paying attention, is a baggage handler at Glasgow International Airport. In true Jack Bauer style, when the chips were down and naughty terrorists attempted to blow the place up a few days ago, he launched into death-defying action, single-handedly saving the police from getting thier arses kicked. Or something. His legend is already becoming a thing of mythic proportion, in a peculiarly Glasweigian sort of way.
Anyway, go and have a look at the tribute website (visitors have so far donated sufficient cash via paypal to buy him over 1000 pints at the Holiday Inn). Read the comments. Kill yourself laughing at some of them. My favourites?
"John Smeaton doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants."
"John Smeaton does not sleep. He waits."
"If you can see John Smeaton, he can see you. If you can't see John Smeaton, you may be only seconds away from death."
"John Smeaton once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean."
"Crop circles are John Smeaton's way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie the !&$% down."
"There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures John Smeaton allows to live."
"When John Smeaton sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. John Smeaton has not had to pay taxes ever."
"John Smeaton has two speeds: Walk and Kill."

As reported by The Times, a Wine & Weed Symposium will take place in California this August discussing how recreational cannabis use could positively impact on the wine industry and the ways the two industries can work together.
The symposium will explore the ways that grape growers and cannabis producers can co-exist and collaborate, as well looking at regulations, licensing, hospitality and tourism.
Winemaker and marijuana lover Robert Mark Kamen, who wrote the script for The Karate Kid, believes weed is "a companion piece" to wine.
"There are different flavours and bouquets to good weed, and different strains that elicit different effects. There are real body highs and real stony highs, and there are highs that are cerebral and ethereal," he told The New York Times.
"There are levels of socialising that can be enhanced or inhibited, depending on the strength and the amount you smoke," he added.
Food and wine writer Tina Caputo doesn't believe the legalisation of cannabis poses a threat to the wine industry.
"People are trying to say that there is a threat but I haven't talked to any wine industry person yet who actually sees it that way. There's room in people's lives for both," she told The Times.
In March, Sam Edwards of The Sonoma Cannabis Company launched wine and weed pairing events matching everything from marijuana pesto and cannabis flowers with local wines.
The San Francisco Chronicle has appointed a cannabis editor, David Downs, while The Denver Post in Colorado already has a weed editor on its masthead.
"Cannabis has the potential to be more mainstream and be reviewed like wine or beer or other consumables at a high level with a discerning and independent perspective," Downs told The Times.
California legalised recreational use of marijuana last November. Medicinal cannabis use is allowed in 28 states and Washington DC – over half the country.
Like wine, marijuana reflects the terroir in which it's grown. The industry is already splitting off into mass-produced weed grown indoors and high-end marijuana that expresses a sense of terroir.
For real? That's so interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing how all this is going to develop. I'm personally not a big fan of consuming cannabis with alcohol. It rather feels odd and I'm not really into drinking after having had a smoke.
But it definitely is an interesting idea since both wine & cannabis are on a "gourmet-level". And if displayed and advertised in the right way I can imagine this combination to make it and become popular. Cool page by the way.
Kind regards from another wine lover 🙂
This sounds interesting – I was a huge weed addict myself, but I never quite took a love for wine if I'm honest. I'll be giving this one a miss but if this becomes a thing, I'm definitely going to grab a bottle for my friends to try!

Tracking drums for this new project has been a blast and I am happy to have some final takes done. Tracking drums in general is a pretty complex to-do nowadays. You've got the pre-production which includes: tempo-mapping, arrangement, drum selections, etc. Then you have the actual tracking which includes: mic placement, drum changes, head changes, etc. Not getting to post production yet and you'll be HOURS in. But I love it and am happy to have officially started recording this new project.
I ended up tracking with my SJC kit (20×24" kick, 10×12" rack and 14×16" floor) an assortment of snares & Paiste cymbals along with a few pots of coffee. I will say I am pleased with the results; all of which was engineered by Noam Wallenberg at Rax Trax in Chicago. It was a hell of a day. We were on the road the night prior and drove after 4 hours of sleep to hit the studio in time; but it was worth it.
This new EP we are working on is developing more of our "stranger" side and taking a bit more of an orchestral approach with pop-sensibility. For 2 of these songs I actually recorded 3 drum parts (not including percussion). It is shaping the EP to be very delicately layered and super groovy. This was especially fun for me to record because it was the first time I deconstructed all of my drum parts so they could be layered and effected properly. For example, one drum track would be me just playing bass & snare with another having cymbal swells and a 3rd being a tribal drum groove. It taught me to be even more patient (considering some of these tracks are 82BPM) and embraces a smart approach to "less is more," by letting the music breath and take shape while intelligently filling the gaps and keeping the heart beating.
I am truly excited for people to hear some of these new tunes as we push further into the recording.
Bang Bang!

Adobe Air 2 Beta
The start of 2010 saw the release of second version of Adobe Air 2 Beta, which included new potential to interact with printers, secure socket support, and hundreds of bug fixes. The comments from the user and developer community have played a key role in guiding the development of this release. For additional information, go on to read all about Adobe Air 2 Beta here in this article.
One of the main goals about this beta of Adobe Air 2 was to add potential to the runtime that would allow new classes of applications to be built that were simply not feasible with AIR 1. It was important to understand the challenges developers and designers were facing with AIR. A hypothesis for the Adobe Air 2 Beta release hit the road so as to test it with customers and improve it based on feedback. The idea was to get familiar with the most annoying business and technical challenges of the users.
Adobe Air 2 Beta info reveals how with its evolution it became clear that the focus should be on the offering deeper integration with the operating system, making developers more dynamic, and to improve performance. The purpose of the public Adobe Air 2 Beta is to help the users run their existing applications run as expected and also meet their expectations.
One of the key features you'll find in this new release of Adobe Air 2 Beta is that one can open documents with default application. This can help you put together a content management application that lets you navigate the files, opening them using the default application. Moving on with details on Adobe Air 2 Beta, one can now identify when a mass storage device, such as a USB drive or certain kinds of cameras, have been connected or disconnected to the user's computer. With Adobe Air 2 Beta, it is easier for developers to extend AIR without conciliation on the cross-platform promise.
The native process API of the Adobe Air 2 Beta allows the developers to launch and converse, bi-directionally, with a native process. One can also easily access the sound data from a microphone straight away for recording or processing without the need of a server. Moreover, the Global error handling lets you take care of all uncaught errors, in one place in your code. The continued enhancements on printing help to improve the quality of output to the printer.
What is interesting about Adobe Air 2 Beta is the more efficient usage of CPU. Many applications are consuming even 50% less CPU usage when running in the background. There are also reductions in memory usage between 15–20%.

Each year, the MBIE publishes a report called Energy in New Zealand.* Energy is a crucial input in all parts of our lives, powering our transport and our cities. MBIE's report starts with an infographic showing various energy facts and figures:
To pick up on one fact in this infographic, solar PV (photovoltaic, i.e. solar panels) generation in New Zealand is now equivalent to the demand for all the households in the Kaikoura District. This might be impressive, if not for the fact that Kaikoura only has around 1,500 households, about 1% of the nationwide total (and a much smaller share of our total electricity demand, which also includes demand from business, industry etc).
As we've covered many times, New Zealand is great at making electricity – and one of the top countries for renewable electricity generation. This is driven by our strong hydro resources, with geothermal and wind playing growing roles.
GWh = gigawatt-hours, a unit of energy. The graph in the report was labelled wrongly – I've fixed this up with the Excel data.
2014 was a good year for renewable generation – which varies from year to year depending on rainfall and wind – and almost 80% of all electricity came from renewable sources, the best result since 1996. These results were inevitably trumpeted by the Minister, who has actually done very little to influence those figures. Such is politics, but the government should be doing more to encourage renewables.
The other interesting trend from this graph is that total generation has been very flat for almost a decade. That's partly because we're using power more efficiently, and partly due to economic factors – industrial users (e.g. the smelter in Tiwai Point) and businesses are big power users, so changes in their activity can make a big difference to demand.
Electricity prices have also continued to rise, as I'm sure we've all noticed – up 3.8% for the year to March 2015, despite flat demand and very little inflation in the wider economy. However, these prices are still pretty reasonable to what people pay across the OECD – there's a lot of variation between countries, but we're just slightly above the OECD average on a 'purchasing power parity' basis.
There's actually not much written on transport in the Energy in New Zealand report. However, consumption of oil products like petrol and diesel is mostly due to transport demand, so let's take a look at that.
Petrol demand is still down on where it was in the mid-2000s, while diesel demand (mainly from commercial vehicles – trucks, vans and so on) has risen. As a quick factoid, the report estimates that buses use 4% of NZ's transport diesel, and trains use 3% – those stats are for 2013, and will presumably drop now that Auckland's passenger trains have been electrified.
The graph below shows 'real' (i.e. adjusted for inflation) prices for petrol and diesel over the last 40 years, showing that prices have fallen somewhat in the last year, and are lower than they were during the early 1980s.
There's another graph in the report which shows that NZ has fairly cheap petrol prices by OECD standards – only Australia, the US, Canada, Luxembourg and Switzerland are cheaper. We've got cheap diesel, too, but that's largely because diesel vehicles pay Road User Charges rather than being taxed at the pump.
"Energy Intensity"
Some quick thoughts on "energy intensity", since it's a topic close to Patrick's heart. This is a measure of the energy used to create each unit of gross domestic product (GDP) – essentially, how much energy is needed to create a dollar's worth of economic value.
According to the MBIE, "the overall energy intensity of the economy has improved in real terms by an average rate of 1.1% per annum" between 1990 and 2014, and now sits at 2.7 megajoules per dollar. This is 'real' improvement, i.e. adjusted for inflation.
This sounds good, but as the MBIE continues, "the most significant factor in this… has been the rapid growth of the commercial sector (low energy intensity) relative to the industrial sector (high energy intensity)". That is, much of the improvement is just because our economy now looks different to 25 years ago, with less industry and more services.
Some people have pointed out that by switching to more "commercial", service-based industries and importing manufactured goods instead, we're simply outsourcing our energy use (or greenhouse gas emissions) to other countries. That's true, but not a question with an easy answer. We can talk about 'decoupling' our economy from expensive and environmentally damaging energy use, but we haven't actually gotten very far on it yet.
Where we can get a lot more efficient with our energy use is in transport. We can encourage public and active transport, and more efficient cars, and eventually electric vehicles. We shouldn't do this just for the sake of it, and it's not about the energy itself. Saving energy is a means to an end – reducing greenhouse gas emissions, or saving costs (e.g. of importing or producing the energy). So the thing to do is find cost-effective ways of achieving these goals.

You had to walk around the block if you wanted coffee? I noticed last week that the lot just up from LPL had been plowed – the one almost on the corner – and the snow had been plowed onto the sidewalk.
LPL always ALWAYS does a great job keeping their sidewalks clear.

- Free until the end of 2014
Shared files are encrypted and decrypted locally and transmitted securely. Recipient need not subscribe. Recipient can't print, forward, or screen-capture files. Shares expire automatically. Very easy to use. Can use without creating an account. No limit on file size or total storage used.
A determined recipient could get around screen-capture protection. Testing uncovered several bugs, though these were quickly fixed. Not optimized for Windows 7 and earlier.
Bottom Line
Every file you share via the free, cloud-based Dstrux service automatically expires at a preset time of no more than a month. The recipient can view what you've sent, but can't print, capture, or forward it.
Read-only document sharing is a simple thing in the physical world. Pull a document out of the briefcase that's handcuffed to your wrist, show it to your covert contact, and put it back in the briefcase. Unless your contact has a concealed spy camera, there's no trace remaining. The free Dstrux service aims to bring the same level of protection to online file sharing. It does the job, though it's a work in progress.
Similar Products
At present, the wholly Web-based Dstrux service is free, and it will be free until at least the end of 2014. The company's plans after that point will be guided to some extent by how people use the service. While it's not technically in beta, I felt a bit like a beta tester during my evaluation. I found a number of user interface bugs and a couple of more significant problems; all were quickly fixed.
Note that Dstrux is optimized specifically for Windows 8 and for the latest Mac OS. I tried it under Windows XP and found it worked reasonably well with Firefox, but not at all with Internet Explorer. Under Windows 7 and even Vista, I couldn't see any difference from running it under Windows 8. Still, Windows 8 is recommended.
Getting Started
To start using Dstrux, just navigate to the website and drop a file on the sharing circle. Dstrux encrypts the file locally and transmits it securely to the company's servers. Next, you set the number of days, hours, and minutes before the file self-destructs. The interface here is faintly awkward; you click radio buttons to select the unit and click up/down arrows to set the number of days, hours, or minutes. The maximum time to expiration is 30 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes. Because every file expires, Dstrux's creators have opted not to set a limit on file size or total storage used.
You can share links to your files via Facebook or email. Just enter your email address and the recipients' addresses, add your message, and share. Or connect with Facebook, select from your list of friends, and share using a Facebook message. Note that all this happens without you even having to sign up for the service!
After you've shared a file, clicking the Control What You Shared button invites you to define a password and thereby create your Dstrux account. The process is very smooth and simple. Once you've created your account, you manage it through an online console. There's nothing to install on the local PC.
Dstrux Console
Each file you've shared appears in your online console as a rectangular card that shows the filename, the time until the share expires, and the number people this file has been shared with. Along the bottom of the card are buttons that let you change the expiration time, add sharing recipients, and control whether recipients can forward the share. There's also a trash can icon to get rid of unwanted files.
The center of the card contains a thumbnail for image files; for other documents it shows stylized lines of text. Clicking in the center lets you view all the recipients with whom you've shared the item. There's a link icon next to each; clicking the link revokes that recipient's access. Note that you can go back and restore the connection later on, if you wish.
A pull-down list of notifications lets you know if you've received new shares from other users. It also reports on whether recipients of your shares have viewed or forwarded them. And that's about it—Dstrux is really quite simple.
Dstrux supports many popular image and document file types, and promises that video and audio types are "coming soon." If you try to share an unsupported file type, the service will let you know that it's not possible. I was mildly surprised to find TXT among the unsupported types.

Creating a new website, complete with community features like a forum, can be expensive – but it doesn't have to be. While paid options like vBulletin remain popular, free alternatives also exist. Some are more obscure than others, but these free bulletin board options are surprisingly good, offering easy installation and a reasonably intuitive interface.
Let's take a look at three of the best free bulletin boards you can find today.
Now over a decade old, phpBB has long been considered the premier free bulletin board for users across the globe. It's a shining example of the quality of product open-source development can lead to, and it is in many ways competitive with paid bulletin boards. In many cases, the main advantage of a paid bulletin board when compared to phpBB is not general ease of use, or even features, but rather the availability of customer support (phpBB, being free and open-source, of course has nothing more than a community help forum).
Even that difference may not matter, however, because phpBB is extremely easy to use. The installation process requires only a passing familiarity with FTP software and a web server capable of database hosting (and virtually all web hosting services are). In fact, if you've ever installed WordPress, you'll know exactly what to do. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and steps are detailed on the phpBB website.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of phpBB, however – and the reason why many people flock to it – is sheer force of numbers. The popularity of phpBB makes it more likely that someone has already tried to do whatever you're thinking of doing with your forum, which means it will be easier for you to attempt. Plus, there is a very large database of "Styles CSS3 Maker: Create CSS3 Styles & Get Customized Codes CSS3 Maker: Create CSS3 Styles & Get Customized Codes Read More " that can be used to further customize your forum.
MyBB is free and licensed under General Public License. Unlike phpBB, however, MyBB is not an open-source project. It is instead written by a group of developers simply known as the MyBB Group.
In terms of installation and ease-of-use, MyBB is just one step behind phpBB. The installation process is virtually identical, but the administrators panel isn't as slick or as well laid out as the one that comes with phpBB. This isn't to say that the admin panel of MyBB is hard by any measure, but the arrangement of options requires just a bit more digging than the layout of phpBB.
So why use MyBB instead? There are a few reasons, many of which are tied to features. MyBB has a built-in user reputation support, excellent calender features, multi-quote and quick reply. These sort of features are not unavailable to phpBB, per say, but they require some customization on the part of the user. For this reason, MyBB is often times a better choice than phpBB. Just be aware that the smaller user base may make it harder to find answers to your questions, and while there are pre-packaged styles and mods available, they are fewer in number.
Simple Machines Forum
If you're looking for a free bulletin board with an excellent interface, Simple Machines Forum is likely your best choice. Although both phpBB and MyBB are not bad looking pieces of software, they have room for improvement. MyBB in particular has an admin panel that is by no means pretty. Simple Machines Forum, however, has an excellent default style and easy to navigate admin panel that provides a lot of information in minimal space. The admin panel is also accessed from a tab on the forum when you log into an admin account, unlike the other two free bulletin boards, which keeps admin functions tucked away in their own space.
SMF also has a "modification database" which includes a wide variety of add-ons that can be used to change the bulletin board. This includes everything from added smileys to search engine optimization to social networking features. The mods aren't excessively difficult to install, either – although MyBB's plugins are easier.
The biggest problem with SMF is support. Although this bulletin board is true to its name when it comes to installation and admin management, finding help on the SMF website is a chore. Even navigating the website is difficult due to an usual layout that often requires visitors to navigate through multiple areas to find even the most basic information.
So, which free bulletin board should you choose?
Honestly, there isn't a clear-cut answer. Some users prefer SMF because it requires little modification to look professional, but others like phpBB because of its huge community. Personally, I decided to go with MyBB when I installed a forum on one of my blogs because it has some out-of-the-box features that I wanted.
Which one do you prefer and why? What features stood out for you?

The fight against poverty and inequality – we are all in this together
In 2000, the world set the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) as a global framework to halve extreme poverty by 2015 and has been working since then to achieve them.
There have been some significant achievements, such as Nepal's success in reducing the infant mortality rate by one third in five years.
Yet the realization of the ultimate goal of halving extreme poverty now seems unlikely. This is because the mobilization of the necessary political will and financial resources are withering mainly due to the economic crises since 2008.
With the deadline for the MDG approaching, the international community led by the United Nations has started discussing what should succeed them in crafting a new, post-2015 development framework.
My organization Oxfam is among those actively involved in this debate, advocating tackling disparity and inequality as well as ensuring good governance in each country.
In Japan, on the eve of the Fifth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD V), Africa is depicted as a continent of rapid economic growth and business opportunities, thus calling for policy attention to economic infrastructure rather than social development, and private investment rather than public aid.
But macro-economic growth alone will have a limited impact on poverty reduction and could in fact exacerbate inequalities and destabilize societies, if the discriminatory structures that prevent certain populations from capturing the fruits of growth remain unchallenged.
Economic growth will only help bring true "development" to societies if accompanied by the empowerment and participation of affected communities and civil society to hold the government accountable, effective institutions to uphold human rights, fair distribution of natural resources, and universal access to public services like health and education through progressive taxation and redistribution of wealth.
When discussing a post-2015 development framework, we Japanese need to refresh our thinking of what "ending poverty" really means to us.
For too long we have associated "international development" with charity -- an activity one may choose to engage in according to one's disposable assets. But is it really?
Oxfam reports that the annual income of the richest 100 individuals in 2012 was enough to end global poverty four times over. Regardless of national incomes, countries north and south are losing vast amounts of revenue due to their richest members of the society avoiding taxation through tax havens.
As a result, the state is increasingly unable to fulfill its fundamental role of providing essential services to the have-nots with the wealth of the haves, damaging public trust in democracy. Extreme economic inequality also undermines the longer-term prospects for growth, and worsens environmental problems.
Japan is no exception in this. "Ending extreme poverty" is no longer a matter of a favor to the poor living far away, but a question of how to deal with "extreme wealth" and rebuild a society of fair and mutual assistance - a question we all are grappling with in Japan.
Understanding that we are all in it together as global citizens is where we need to start in envisaging the world we want.
Takumo Yamada has been serving as advocacy manager of Oxfam Japan since 2002.

Sending rouge cops to Mindanao an insult—bishop
MANILA, Feb. 11, 2017— Sending erring cops to Mindanao is an 'insult' to the region and its people, a Catholic bishop said.
Bishop Jose Cabantan of Malaybalay said Mindanao should be turned into dumping place where rogue policemen are reassigned for atonement.
"We are insulted if we deserve the unruly service of these people," Cabantan told Manila archdiocese-run Radio Veritas on Friday.
President Rodrigo Duterte earlier said erring policemen would be sent to Basilan believed to be a stronghold of the bandit group Abu Sayyaf and other extremist groups or they should quit.
Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa made a similar statement in a bid to clean their ranks following several complaints of police abuses.
The bishop said the people of Mindanao doesn't deserve abusive cops unless they are being sent there for a "holistic transformative program".
"If they are brought here because Mindanao is the best community for their formation and transformation then we will appreciate that. Which of these are their motives for doing so?" added Cabantan.
"It's a matter of instituting a holistic transformative program, systems and structures for individuals," he also said. (CBCPNews)

How do you capture the attention of teenagers in an age of Facebook, YouTube and iPhones? Given the scientific and technical underpinnings of these 21st century phenomena, it would seem self-evident that science would naturally appeal to teenage minds. Unfortunately, experience shows that teenagers have a limited interest in, and understanding of, the nature of science and the fruits it bears beyond what they learn in school. As scientists and educators, we were motivated to reignite interest in science among teenage audiences by rekindling their curiosity and ability to ask, "Why?" Our solution was to found a science café program for teenagers: Café Scientifique New Mexico.
In 2007, we attended a presentation by Duncan Dallas, an Englishman who had initiated the Café Scientifique model for engaging the lay public in dialogue on science topics. At the time, these programs were rapidly proliferating across North America and elsewhere in the world because of their great success in bringing scientific concepts to the general public. The concept of hosting an informal (but legitimate) scientific presentation while allowing for socializing with peers over refreshments made the Café Scientifique model extremely popular with adults. Listening to the presentation, we were struck by an exciting thought: Could we successfully adapt the Café Scientifique model to serve teens?Thus was born the Café Scientifique New Mexico. After obtaining funding from the National Science Foundation, we started up the program in 2008 in four host towns of diverse character in northern New Mexico: Los Alamos, Española, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. We began our work with some trepidation: What if we built it and they didn't come? Thankfully, the program has been successful well beyond our initial hopes, proving highly popular with teens as it enters its sixth season. We now have a well-tested and refined model for teen cafés, and as a result we have just received further funding from the NSF to propagate the model at partner sites throughout the United States.Elements for successAny organization should be able to start up and operate a teen program by adhering to a number of essential principles:
Everyone benefitsOur goals for Café Scientifique New Mexico were for teens to
Our formal evaluations demonstrate that the program has indeed met these goals, positively influencing participating teens' attitudes toward science and their view of the importance of science to their lives. It has increased their understanding of the nature of scientific research, understanding of science issues in the news, and ability to use facts to support scientific points of view. Moreover, teens themselves say that the program has helped them make connections between school and the real world of science research. "Since the Café, I see science everywhere, at the store, on the street, in the park," reported one attendee.There also has been significant benefit to the presenters, who have uniformly considered their participation in the program to be enjoyable and of personal benefit. One presenter told us that preparing his presentation "forced me to focus on the really basic elements of my research and how to communicate them." Similarly, another felt participating had helped her to "identify the critical issues in my work: why I was doing it, why it is challenging, what we are trying to accomplish."Best of all, the Teen Café Scientifique program continually renews our own curiosity and keeps us wondering about the nature of so many interesting things.

Assyrian rituals consist of many different types of elements that have shaped today's modern rituals for the past 3,000 years. An Assyrian Wedding traditionally lasted a week and consisted of different rituals for each day. Today, weddings in the Assyrian homeland usually last for 2 to 3 days while Assyrian weddings in the diaspora go for 1 or 2 days.
The Blanket Ritual
A week before the Marriage all the women of theneighbourhood and the women in the family go to house of the bride and make her a very big honeymoon blanket. Everybody had to make sure they sewed a bit of that blanket. So the needle would be passed from one woman to the other and this way all the women sewed a bit. The younger women would dance around it and the older women would sing and do the dabke. During the party food and sweets are served, and the party ends when the blanket was done. This ritual is mostly observed by Assyrians in Syria.
The Washing of the Groom
Also referred to as khyapta d'khitna or zyapta d'khitna. Before the wedding all the men in the neighbourhood and the men who are related to the groom go to his house and they cut his hair and shave his face. The groom's male relatives give a him a good scrubbing from head to toe, cleaning him of evilness. A young boy is usually bathed first, typically by his mother or aunts, then the groom takes a shower or bath afterwards.
A tradition symbolic of the bride leaving the home of her parents. Usually the bride is in her home taking pictures with family and the groom's family visits to take her out of the home and to the church. While in the house, the women sing tradition lilyaneh and dola and zurna is played as they dance. Before the bride leaves the house, the groom's family makes an offering, usually cash, to the bride's family and upon acceptance, they head to the church.
Is the wedding tradition where the bride and groom are blessed by a priest in a church. The burakha traditionally
lasted about four hours, but more recently the event goes for about one hour. Pins in the shape of two crosses are usually placed on the groom's back. There are some details during the ceremony that differ from village to village. The Assyrians of the village of Baz are known to have someone poke the groom with a needle to ward off any evil spirits while Assyrian from the village of Tyari make noise with the cutting motion of scissors to ward off evil spirits.
At the end of the burakha as the bride and groom are coming out of the church, dola and zorna is played while rice, candies, and coins are thrown at the bride and groom and people take part in traditional Assyrian dances.
Henna is mud-like material that is prepared on the day before the wedding. On the wedding night, in the old days all the ladies would gather at the house of the bride (but nowadays it's mixed, also male relatives and family friends are invited.) A bowl is filled with henna. Henna is celebrated differently throughout the Assyrian community. In some areas, whoever holds the bowl with the henna will dance with it around the others. The groom and bride put in the bowl their little finger and their little finger will be wrapped and connected to each other by a ribbon. In other areas, everyone is given a turn to wrap their finger with henna, and after everyone, the person that is getting henna on their hand starts the chant of praise for the future couple, as everyone else follows along.

Because I don't have any camera options this week I'll be showing you a picture of the dress I'm planning to wear Saturday - my birthday!
Also, I've been using the Catrice Lash Plus products for 1 week now. I don't notice any difference, but they do recommend using it for 30 days - maybe it will bring the wanted effect by the end of the testing period.
The mascara that's part of the treatment isn't my favorite, it's a bit.. flimsy? No massive build-up or lash lengthing qualities. I apply one thin layer and top it off with my very much loved Chanel Inimitable Intense (now I'm stuck on buying $$$ mascara..).

CFB Halifax
Template:Infobox Military Structure
Canadian Forces Base Halifax (CFB Halifax) is Canada's east coast navy base and home port to the Atlantic fleet, known as Maritime Forces Atlantic.
It is the largest Canadian Forces Base in terms of the number of posted personnel and is formed from an amalgamation of military properties situated around the strategic Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia.

Her Majesty's Canadian Dockyard (HMC Dockyard Halifax)
HMC Dockyard Halifax was acquired by the Canadian government from the Royal Navy following the withdrawal of British military forces from Canada in 1906. Prior to 1906, it was known as Royal Naval Dockyard, Halifax and is one of the oldest defence establishments in Canada, having been established by the Royal Navy during the 18th century as HM Dockyard.
HMC Dockyard Halifax is located on the western side of Halifax Harbour at the southern end of The Narrows. It hosts the headquarters of Maritime Forces Atlantic (MARLANT), the formal name for the Atlantic Fleet. HMC Dockyard Halifax contains berths for Canadian and foreign warships, Formation Supply Facility, Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Scott, shore-based training facilities as well as operations buildings for MARLANT and other organizations such as Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Halifax (JRCC Halifax).
HMC Dockyard Halifax also has an adjunct facility directly across the harbour on the Dartmouth shoreline with jetties and various buildings, including Defence Research and Development Canada - Atlantic.
HMC Dockyard Halifax maintains exclusive control of several anchorage areas within the limits of Halifax Harbour and prevents civilian vessels from sailing in the vicinity of military facilities; a floating force protection boom system was constructed to prevent small vessels from unauthorized passage near warships and pierside facilities.
The original Naval Yard clock has been restored and moved to the Halifax Ferry Terminal entrance while the original Naval Yard bell is preserved at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, a museum which also features a large diorama depicting the Naval Yard in 1813 at its height in the Age of Sail. The dockyard was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1923,[1] while Admiralty House was designated a National Historic Site in 1978.[2]
Stadacona, referred to as HMCS Stadacona before 1968 and frequently referred to as "Stad", is an adjunct to HMC Dockyard located west of the waterfront in the North End of the Halifax peninsula. Prior to the arrival of the French, the location that would become Quebec was the home of a small Iroquois village called "Stadacona", after which the base is named.[3] Stadacona contains the Canadian Forces Naval Engineering School (with facilities at Herring Cove/York Redoubt, south of Halifax), the Canadian Forces Naval Operations School, the base hospital, the Canadian Forces Maritime Warfare Centre, and various messes. Stadacona is also home to the headquarters of 5th Canadian Division and the Maritime Command Museum.
Stadacona was built as the British Army's Wellington Barracks, later known as the Nelson Barracks, as part of the Halifax Defence Complex. The British military forces departed from Canada in 1906. During the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Navy appropriated the site from the army and it was transformed into HMCS Stadacona.

Formerly a separate base known as CFB Shearwater, the airfield was realigned as part of CFB Halifax during the mid-1990s. 12 Wing, a Royal Canadian Air Force unit that reports to 1 Canadian Air Division, is the primary user of the Shearwater Heliport and is headquartered there. DND properties that were formerly aligned to CFB Shearwater, such as the Hartlen Point Golf Course and the Shearwater Jetty, are now part of CFB Halifax.
12 Wing operates from two locations with four squadrons:
- Shearwater Heliport
- 406 Maritime Operational Training Squadron is an operational training squadron for training all maritime helicopter aircrew in the Canadian Forces.
- 423 Maritime Helicopter Squadron is an operational squadron at Shearwater Heliport which provides CH-124 Sea King helicopters for Maritime Forces Atlantic warships.
- 12 Air Maintenance Squadron provides aircraft maintenance and engineering support to 12 Wing's operational squadrons.
- Helicopter Operational Evaluation and Test Facility (HOTEF) is responsible for researching and testing state-of-the-art equipment for the CH-124 Sea King to enable crews to operate efficiently, ashore or while deployed.
- Patricia Bay Heliport
- 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron is an operational squadron which provides CH-124 Sea King helicopters for Maritime Forces Pacific warships.
Royal Artillery Park
Royal Artillery Park (Halifax) is a military park, which is part of CFB Halifax, Nova Scotia. In the far corner of the Royal Artillery Park, a diminutive red brick building, is the Cambridge Military Library. This building was the social and literary centre of military Halifax. The Library opened in 1817 at Grafton Street, as an alternative to the more notorious choices of city entertainment. It moved to its present location in Royal Artillery Park in 1886 and was renamed Cambridge Military Library in 1902. The library was funded in part from Customs receipts gathered during the War of 1812 at the Battle of Hampden.

Housing for CFB Halifax is provided to Canadian Forces personnel and their dependants at Windsor Park, a housing area built by the Department of National Defence in the West End of Halifax. Stadacona is home to the Atlantic Block, a barracks for single ratings. Base housing also used to be provided at Shannon Park and Wallis Heights in the North End of Dartmouth, however with defence cutbacks in the 1990s, this area has been sold for civilian use.

Personal Identification
Everyone who has a passport knows how important it is. Losing a passport (or other important document) can cause many problems. Often, the best way to avoid losing an important document is to keep it somewhere safe. This page will talk about some options that will allow you to leave your important documents somewhere safe while still being able to participate in the activities of your choice.
Proof of Age
For those interested in buying alcohol or entering a business where alcohol is served in the province of Ontario, proof that you are at least 19 years old is needed. Some locations will accept passports (though we recommend you leave it somewhere safe) or even driver's licences, but there are other types of identification that should always be accepted.
Ontario Photo Card
The province of Ontario offers non-drivers an option for Canadian-issued identification with the Ontario Photo Card. The application can be made in person at Service Ontario's office at 1650 Bath Road or 1201 Division Street. The cost is $35 and you should be able to use your passport as proof of identification. Note: This card is not necessary if you have an Ontario Driver's Licence.
BYID Card
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) offers the BYID card specifically to serve as identification that can be used for the purpose of buying beverage alcohol or entering a licenced location (bar) that requires you to be at least 19. This identification is only available to those aged 19 through 35.
The application process requires confirmation of age. Normally, that would mean finding a œguarantor that could confirm that you are telling the truth. Since a guarantor must have known you for at least 2 years and work in certain fields, most students must instead complete a declaration in lieu of guarantor . This can be done with the help of Queen's Legal Aid Office.
Ontario Driver's Licence
Besides being used as permission to drive in the province of Ontario, the driver's licence is commonly used as proof of age. If all you need is proof of age, the Ontario Photo Card (above) is probably the best option. If you are interested in getting an Ontario Driver's Licence, please visit the "Transportation" page of our Living in Kingston Guide.
Social Insurance Number Card
Information about the Social Insurance Number (SIN) card is available on our "Working in Canada" page.
International Student Identity Card (ISIC)
The ISIC is not generally accepted as proof of identity. It is usually better to have one of the cards noted above.
Undergraduate students can purchase the ISIC for $20 from Merit Travel (Corner of Princess and Montreal Streets). Just bring a photo and your validated Queen's student card. If you can't bring your own photo, they can take one for you for an additional $5. Graduate students can get the ISIC for free through the Society of Graduate and Professional Students (SGPS)
Passport Renewals
If your passport is set to expire during your time in Canada, you may need to renew it through your government's representatives in (or serving) Canada. Contact information for "foreign representatives in Canada" is available through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Development.
Further Questions?
If you have further questions, after reviewing the information above, advising is available (without an appointment) from the International Student Advisers at the Queen's University International Centre from Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 4:30pm.
