The research papers titled, "Efficient autotrophic denitrification performance through integrating the bio-oxidation of Fe(II) and Mn(II)", "Comparison of denitrification performance by bacterium Achromobacter sp. A 14 under different electron donor conditions" and "Effect of mixed electron donors on autotrophic denitrification by Pseudomonas sp. SZF15" is written by Junfeng Su. The three papers derive its inspiration from an issue that is at an alarming stage. Yes, it is environmental pollution, a serious problem on a global scale.
All three papers deal with nitrate removal from groundwater. Groundwater is widely used for drinking water. In most cases, groundwater from anoxic acquifiers contains excessive levels of iron, manganese and/or nitrogen. Nitrate- nitrogen contamination has become an environmental and a public health issue is most developed and developing countries. It is often seen that nitrate contamination causes a rare disease called methemoglobinemia when ingested by infants. It may also cause carcinoma, malformation and mutation when transformed into nitrosamines. A large amount of nitrogen is also discharged into the aquatic ecosystems thus leading to severe deterioration of water quality.
A study showed that approximately 10-25% of the groundwater in the US was contaminated with nitrate. It was seen that the condition was worse in some developing nations. Drinking contaminated groundwater or its use in irrigation can lead to serious health issues. Junfeng and the team of researchers analysed such data and decided to develop a novel, facile and an efficient approach to remove nitrate from the water body.
According to Junfeng and the team, high concentrations of Fe(II) and Mn(II) which co-existed in the natural groundwater body, could be easily oxidized as the electron donor. On the other hand, the team observed that transformation from nitrate/nitrite to N2 (i.e., denitrification process) usually consumed the electrons and this according to them could be regarded as an electron acceptor. Therefore, Junfeng and others concluded that coupling denitrification process with oxidation of Fe(II) and Mn(II) might develop a new type of autotrophic denitrification which could aid in simultaneous removal of nitrate, nitrite, ferrous and manganese.
In the paper titled, "Efficient autotrophic denitrification performance through Integrating the bio-oxidation of Fe(II) and Mn(II)", according to Junfeng and the team, high concentrations of Fe(II) and Mn(II) which co-existed in the natural groundwater body, could be easily oxidized as the electron donor. Junfeng and the team proposed a novel and efficient strain Pseudomonas. sp. H117-based bioremediation process. Furthermore, the kinetics and parameters about substrate (nitrate) and substrate self- inhibition (nitrite) were obtained. The results showed that the Edwards model used by the team suited their experimental data. It was also assessed that Fe(II) and Mn(II) could be formed to biogenic Fe-Mn oxides (FeOOH and MnO2) via microbial oxidation.
In the paper titled, "Comparison of denitrification performance by bacterium Achromobacter sp. A 14 under different electron donor conditions" Junfeng Su mentions the use of heterotrophic, mixotrophic and autotrophic denitrification in the treatment of nitrate-contaminated water. While conducting the study a newly anaerobic denitrifying bacterium, A14, with high denitrification and Mn(II) oxidation ability was isolated from sediments. This process made his study easier. It exhibited efficient denitrification ability in all the three mediums viz., autotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic. Furthermore, the meteorological chromatography findings suggested that N2 and N2O were detected in the gas produced by strain A14. It was also concluded that the characteristic of gas composition varied in different mediums.
In the paper titled, "Effect of mixed electron donors on autotrophic denitrification by Pseudomonas sp. SZF15" a mixed electron donors of Mn(II) and Fe(II) were tested for their effects on autotrophic denitrification. Complete nitrate removal was found at high Mn(II)/Fe(II) molar ratios, 30 °C, pH 7.0, and an electron donor/electron acceptor molar ratio of 3.00.Furthermore, In addition to the above, the findings showed that nitrate could be converted to nitrite and further be degraded to N2 by nitrite reductase (nirS).
This research is pivotal as it deals with one of the most important natural resource, groundwater. Groundwater is what humans rely on in some way or the other. Hence, it should not be exploited and any contamination must not be overlooked. The study conducted by Junfeng Su can encourage environmental researchers and the government of the various countries to save this vital resource. The three research papers by Junfeng Su play a pivotal role in saving the environment.

not my picture. this one is found here... but our countryside looks very similar.
When we lived in London, I used to miss the countryside quite a lot. (Now I miss London, of course, but that's another matter.) I love being surrounded by open fields and grazing animals. I love walking through muddy country lanes on Sunday afternoons, and climbing on cliffs by the sea. Yesterday, Sam and I went for a long walk that basically did just that (except not by the sea this time). We walked through several fields, over several stiles (my husband's first time using a crossing like that, so he was a bit confused by it at first...ha) and doing our best to avoid the mud. It was lovely. There were spring blossoms and gorgeous flowers. I probably said "oh, I wish I had my camera" about fifty times, because wouldn't it be nice to have some pictures? We'll just have to go again soon. The weather yesterday was pretty much perfect, too-- sunny and warm, but not too hot.
Of course, Saturday was the one day in weeks that we had rain, so our film-viewing picnic was rained out. Instead, we went to our friend's house, and played on the Wii (which I was terrible at...it was embarrassing, and highly entertaining for my husband) before we had our picnic on the ground in their house instead. Basically the same thing, right? We watched Alice in Wonderland (the Tim Burton version) which was pretty weird, but then, so are the original Alice stories, so...it's unsurprising. But in any case, we probably had just as much fun as we would have picnicking outside, so overall, it was a pretty great weekend.

One Canadian and one Ukrainian with Russian passport will try to capture a spot in the Den, and Gordie Dwyer's roster, during training camp.
With hopes of staying on board, goalie Sergei Gaiduchenko and defenseman Yann Sauve will join the Bears training camp. While announcing the tryout contracts, Medvescak's Sports Director, Aaron Fox said:
"Sergei is a big goalie who is coming off an injury with something to prove. He's still young and has KHL experience playing in a couple top KHL clubs. And in defense, we welcome Yann who's also looking to come in and make a good impression that he can be a solid depth defenseman. He is a big strong skating two-way D whose game should translate to Europe."
Gaiduchenko, born in 1989 in Kiev, spent the junior part of his career in Lokomotiv Jaroslavl organization. With the first team he made his KHL debut in 2008/09. As a 21-year-old CSKA Moscow traded for him and in the two years with them he played in 36 games. For he next two seasons he minded the net in Sibir Novosibirsk while playing so far the most efficient KHL season with .926 percentage save through 19 games.
In 2014/15 season he played for VHL's Kuban Krasnodar.
Sauve, a 26-year-old Canadian defenseman, started his career with the Vancouver Canucks when they selected him his a second round pick in 2008 NHL Entry Draft. During the training camp for 2010/2011 NHL season he was hit by a car while crossing the road and the injury kept him off the ice for another two months. Hard work and dedication in his first year as a pro, led him from the ECHL through the AHL where he secured a spot, all the way to the NHL. In the next five season in North America, the Canucks called him up for three more games, and he spent most of the time in the AHL playing in 189 games and tallying 5 goals and 27 assists.
He spent the majority of last season playing for the ECHL's Manchester Monarchs and he is eager to prove he can play at a higher level. In 57 games he put up 30 points (7 goals, 23 assists).
If the Bears coaching staff finds him competent, this will be his first season on European ice.

The Paignton-born former Torquay United and Exeter City attacking full-back said: "Speaking from a personal point of view I'd love it if we got Torquay, home or away. I'm sure home or away it would attract a lot of interest, which would be good for both us as a club and United."
With a characteristic laugh, Tully added: "Knowing our…

SP Bespoke was created by two friends in recovery who recognised the massive gap in the market for effective client support.
Paul Kalaher and Shig Hayre have extensive knowledge and experience within their respective professions. Shig was an International entrepreneur having developed and managed various businesses and Paul remains of the roll of solicitors supported by an impressive track record.
Paul and Shig complement each other in that they both have the same goal, assisting fellow alcoholics and addicts in gaining and maintaining a quality of life. The unique aspect that these gentlemen offer is 'legal support/advise!
Many recovering people are faced with various legal issues but often do not address them in the hope they will disappear or miraculously sort themselves out! The reality is that early recovery is challenging enough as it is and so if you have legal issues to address whether its unpaid parking tickets or legal assistance with gaining access to your children.
These issues cannot be delayed and Paul and Shig can assist you with your recovery and legal challenges at the same time.
SP Bespoke has joined forces with Twin Rivers Rehab and have developed 'recovery packages' that are affordable and offer high level of continuum of care right from initial assessment through to aftercare.

Brian Keppler, owner of Ground N'At, the coffee shop beneath SR Anderson Consulting, doesn't have time for a relationship. His most recent girlfriend broke up with him because he'd become married to his shop, which is falling apart without his favorite barista, Justin. As he struggles to stay afloat, the arrival of handsome British high-tech whiz Robert Ancroft becomes another complication. Rob quickly becomes a fixture at the shop with his sharp wit and easy charm, and Brian soon finds himself looking forward more and more to Rob's visits – to the point where his heart skips a beat when he walks in. But will Brian be able to come to terms with his previously unexplored sexual identity and find happiness now that he has a chance?
Rating: Narration: B+; Content: A-
Daily Grind, the fourth book in Anna Zabo's Takeover series, is perhaps one of the more unusual romances I've listened to recently in that it takes a hard look at how the pressures of work – ones we often inflict upon ourselves – can make us lose sight of what's really important, and the way such factors can affect our quality of life and relationships.
Brian Keppler owns the popular coffee shop Grounds N'at and is dedicated to providing the best tasting and best prepared coffee in Pittsburgh. Brian has owned the shop for almost a decade and he's always been a bit of a workaholic – as can be affirmed by his small number of ex-girlfriends, all of whom cited Brian's insistence on working all hours and putting his business before anything else as the reasons for their break-ups. Lately, however, things have been getting even more difficult; rising costs and staffing problems mean Brian is spending more time working than ever, and although he keeps telling himself it won't always be like this, there's no sign of a let up and things are looking bleak.

The NFL 2011 Season is finally here! The preseason is over. Now every down counts. Each inch is crucial. It's time to back up all of the trash talking. All eyes are focused on Indianapolis, Indiana, the host of Super Bowl XLVI. Who will get there? Who will hoist up The Lombardi Trophy?
The AFC has their usual team leaders who will contend for the conference championship. New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets will all make the playoffs again. The Indianapolis Colts is not on this list because I think Colts QB, Peyton Manning's neck injury will cause their offense to suffer. I think that the Jets will make it back to the AFC Championship for the third year in a row and win it this time. The offense will start slow. QB, Mark Sanchez still has Santonio Holmes, but the other receivers are older and new to the team. Once wide receivers Plaxico Burress (34 years old) and Derrick Mason (37 years old) get comfortable, their experience will help the offense. The star unit is the defense. The Jets returned 10 of their starters on defense. These players know the defense and what needs to be done to take down Tom Brady (Patriots QB) and Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers QB). Last year Jets cornerback, Darrelle Revis was only productive half of the season. This year he prepared with his team during training camp and will start the season healthy.
The NFC is going to be really competitive. The last two Super Bowl winners came from this conference. The Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints were the champions in 2011 and 2010 respectively. Both of these teams will compete for the NFC Championship, but I think that the Philadelphia Eagles will win the conference title. The Eagles are good on both sides of the ball. The offense is led by QB Michael Vick. Everyone is concerned about the Eagles offensive line. It is an issue because Vick needs to be protected to stay healthy, but I don't think that it will stop him from having a great season. On defense, the Eagles have the best secondary, not just in the conference, but the NFL. Eagles cornerbacks, Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Asante Samuel will throw a wrench in every team's passing game.
I picked teams with powerful defenses to go to the Super Bowl. The Jets have continuity and the Eagles have talent and speed. I am predicting the Eagles to win Super Bowl XLVI. This isn't because of the dream team chatter. Here are three reasons why.
1. Defense was a problem for the Eagles last year and they clearly solved it.
2. Michael Vick is not only back; he is focused. After the first preseason game, he commented, "I went back and looked at film by myself in the offseason and a majority of the time last year Brent was open and I failed to throw to him because I was focused on DeSean and Jeremy."
3. The Eagles swooped in out of nowhere and signed Asomugha. They have some other tricks up their sleeves.
The season kicks off this Thursday at 8:30 pm when the Green Bay Packers host the New Orleans Saints. Some people think that this is a preview of the NFC Championship game. I think we will see one of the teams that will face Philadelphia in that game.

Before we get to the good stuff, a note about our rankings. In case you're wondering how we came up with our list, these flicks were ranked by popular opinion, using their Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. In case of tie, we used a complex set of equations involving trigonometry, quantum mechanics, pi, and Professor Stephen Hawking's shoe size, to discern proper placement.
Here's the breakdown...
25. Lady and the Tramp
This 1955 Disney outing is well recognized even today, a half-century after its debut, for its romantic yarn about a pair of dogs -- a refined Cocker Spaniel and a street-wise mutt -- from different worlds who fall in love. In fact, the film has spawned at least one (to date) direct-to-video sequel, a sure sign of its enduring appeal. The first Cinemascope animated feature, Lady and the Tramp was also something of an innovation for the studio in terms of story -- it is the first of Disney's animated features to take place in the "real" world rather than a fantasy setting. The jazzy score and romantic arc of the picture set the heart aflutter, and who can ever forget that scene in the alleyway with the spaghetti dinner? If only all of our first dates were that good...
24. A Bug's Life
A Bug's Life, arguably Pixar's most underrated film, is the story of Flik, an independent-thinking ant who sets out on a mission to help save his colony from a gang of freeloading grasshoppers in order to get back in the good graces of the Queen. But when a group of "warrior bugs" that Flik recruits turn out to be a bumbling circus troupe, the tiny hero must believe in himself to save Ant Island once and for all. Despite not being quite as popular as the CG studio's other great films like Toy Story or Finding Nemo, it's a fun little story with some really cute characters that's not to be missed.
23. The Cat Returns
Called Neko no ongaeshi in its native Japan, this Hiroyuki Morita anime was produced by Studio Ghibli, the outfit headed-up by the legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki. Based on the novel-within-a-film from the studio's Whisper of the Heart, The Cat Returns is about a girl named Haru who discovers the secret kingdom of cats, where she inadvertently becomes betrothed to the prince of the felines. Typically odd by American standards -- and yet endearing and beautiful -- The Cat Returns is a charming gem that demands to be seen by more U.S. viewers who are far too dependent on Disney-only product these days.
22. The Lion King
The Lion King, released in 1994, is a lushly animated picture with an epic story, fantastic songs, an all-star voice cast, and just the right amount of humor. It's the story of Simba, a lion cub who is tricked into thinking he killed his father. Guilt ridden, the cub flees into exile and abandons his identity as the future King. The movie was hailed by critics and immediately embraced by moviegoers. After it was all said and done, The Lion King went on to gross $328.5 million (including an IMAX re-release) at the domestic box office. It also spawned a Broadway musical that also became a huge hit, and we can't forget (even if we'd like to) a series of direct-to-video sequels.
21. Beauty and the Beast
"Tale as old as time…" So begins the title song of Disney's greatest romance, an animated retelling of the classic tale. With a taut, engaging story, well-imagined characters, and some of the most breathtaking art Disney has ever managed (and that's saying a lot), Beauty and the Beast stands as a shining example of 2-D animation. Nominated for Best Picture in 1991, it is the only animated film to ever earn such an honor.
20. My Neighbor Totoro
My Neighbor Totoro is insanely popular in Japan. The film has inspired a Japanese environmental group to buy a Totoro Forest preserve in the Saitama Prefecture, the setting of the story. Though some of the Japanese cultural references in the film are lost on an American audience, the movie's themes of familial bonds and courage in the face of difficult situations make it a perfect family film. Satsuki and Mei discover the nest of a strange forest spirit named King Totoro, learning that it's Totoro's powers that make the trees grow and the winds blow. Totoro takes a liking to the girls and takes them on a few wild adventures through the forest. He's a very odd-looking character, kind of like a giant bunny rabbit. And then there's the Catbus. Oh yes, the Catbus, a cat that turns into a bus and transports the girls over the countryside. Extremely odd, but charming in a strange way.
19. Princess Mononoke
Princess Mononoke is among the best known Miyazaki films stateside. Stunning visual imagery characterizes this lush and gorgeous film about a prince trying to rid he and his village of a curse. Along the way he gets unwittingly involved in a battle between the forest gods and a mining settlement, ultimately bringing Princess Mononoke into the fold. This film makes our list for two sequences alone: the emergence of the Kodoma and our first glimpse of the Great Forest Spirit. Epic in scope, lushly animated, the film is a must see for any serious student of animation.
18. Persepolis
The rare non-Hollywood animated feature to get nominated for an Oscar, Persepolis is based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical comic about her experiences as a rebellious girl growing up during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Directed by Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, the film sounds much more serious than it is; in fact, even while it deals with the ever-increasing restriction of freedom that Iranians found themselves under at the time, Marjane's coming-of-age story is full of the kind of hijinks and exploits that any other normal teenager might encounter. And that makes her a much more interesting -- and real -- heroine than what most animated fare has to offer us.

What's the best part of island dining? We hope you like seafood! No worries, even if you don't, it's easy to find foods that better suit your buds.
Bursts of flavor are the signature of Hawaii's unique palatable delights. From tender, grass-fed beef to fresh-from-the-farm goat cheese, Hawaii will spoil you with its incomparable quality and diversity of flavors. You'll find some unique flavor pairings in Hawaii thanks to generations of plantation workers who came to Hawaii from all over the world and brought favorite meals with them. It's not uncommon to find local restaurants with Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Portuguese influences. Be sure to round out any meal with some ripe fruit fresh from the market with your meal like sunny pineapple or sweet mango.
Fresh Fish
Nothing is better than island-caught fish. The islands' fisheries provide the freshest tuna and mahi mahi you've ever tasted, plus ono (wahoo), opakapaka (pink snapper) and swordfish. Frequently fish served in Hawaii restaurants were caught within a day of serving. Also try local Kauai jumbo shrimp or oysters locally farmed at the famed Kualoa Ranch on Oahu.
Local Ingredients
With fishponds, taro fields and thriving farmlands, Hawaii was, for many generations, a self-sustaining community—and its residents have not forgotten. Locally sourced ingredients are a point of pride in Hawaii, and you can taste the difference in every savory bite. Check menus for local produce and fresh caught fish. These items will undoubtedly be some of the best things you'll eat in this island paradise.
Whether it's live music, a sunset view or fireknife dancing at a local luau, Hawaii's best restaurants know how to complement great flavor with fun for the ultimate experience. Check out our events section for the latest schedule of fun things to see and do during your stay.

Are you born in June?
The zodiacal sign of Gemini –the Twins- commences on May 21st, being cusped by
the power of previous sign, it completely comes into power on or about May28th. From this date it is full strength until June 20th.
- People born in this zodiac sign are dual in character and mentality; therefore called Gemini-the twins.

- They are mentally very quick and keen, and in all matters where a subtle mentality is needed they can out distance all rivals.
- They seldom, themselves, know what they want to achieve. At heart they are ambitious for social positions; but when obtained they have already trued it and are ready to go for something totally opposite.
- They believe they are truthful, constant, faithful, and so they may be at the moment, but every moment to them has a separate existence.
- They quickly see the weak points in those they meet, and can reduce all to nothing by wit, sarcasm, or mimicry.
- They can make clever actors, lawyers, lecturers, and a certain class of public speakers, all those who play a changing role in life's drama.
- They have an amazing sense of will power, if they force themselves to stick to one thing, then they generally make brilliant successes of whatever they undertake in any sphere of life.
- They often succeed the best as far as money is concerned, on the Stock Exchange or as a Company; they get wealth in a business.
- They are more generous to individuals than to institutions, for they act on impulse in giving as in everything else they do.

- They are very intellectual with a keen mentality that shows itself in anything they seriously take up.

- Their lucky colures are silver, glistening white, and all shimmering things.
- The birth stone for them are white and red cornelians, sapphires, diamonds and all glittering jewels.

Web hosting is essentially where your website lives. Your website's files and data are stored on a host or a remote server. Reliable web hosting is a significant part of building a website, and the company you choose to web host your site always matters. Online audience access every part of your website at any time, so you want to make sure it's in the right hands. Choosing a suitable and the best web hosting services is the right solution. A web hosting company makes it possible for your site to be accessed by everybody on the web. The different types of service and the wide range of packages on offer can leave a newcomer bamboozled when it comes to choosing the right web hosting service provider.
To help you out, we will give you an insight into the significant criteria you need to consider while picking Best Web hosting services.
Accessibility is the technical term used for reliability and what you need to look for is a web hosting Uganda that can give high availability. Technically, they will guarantee that your website will continue to stay connected and won't fail due to faults with their servers or be taken offline for extended periods during the maintenance. The industry standard for availability is 99.5%, ideally, you want a high availability provider that can propose up-time of 99.95% and more. Selecting a high availability host is important if you want your website and business to have an image of reliability. It helps guarantee that your site is always there to generate income & maintain the services you offer your clienteles.
Bandwidth limitations
Bandwidth is a term used to define the data amount you send from your server to your visitors' browsers. Some Web hosting companies in Uganda offer hosting packages by setting a limit to the amount of bandwidth you can use each month – this is called as bandwidth allocation. Going beyond your bandwidth limit is a sign that your website is running well. What you really need to look for is a best web hosting services that provide either unlimited bandwidth on smaller (shared) hosting packages and bandwidth allocations on big (dedicated server) plans.
Disk space allocation
The amount of disk space you will need depends completely on your personal circumstances. If you are a small or startup business with a low budget plan, then you are not going to need huge disk space. However, if you are a big enterprise collecting huge amounts of data & using powerful applications you will certainly need excessive space for all the information & programs you need to store. As most web host packages have either file number limit disk or space limits, you should carefully assess your future needs before picking a package that will offer you with the right disk space you need.
Web security is important
Security is becoming significant and your choice of the best web hosting services can make a big difference to your protection. You need a web host that can offer intrusion protection, strong firewalls, and monitoring to defend against malware. Besides, your web hosting should provide a backup service so if your site is offline, you can restore it effortlessly and in minimum time. In this era, if a hosting plan does not provide strong security you should stay clear.
Access to control panel
A control panel is the place where you manage the server and entire website. It allows you to make alterations, add new features and install new software and updates. It is also the place where you can add new hosting services if needed. Ideally, you should look for control panels such as cPanel or Plesk which offer lots of options, which are user-friendly, and which can be learned intuitively.
24 * 7 Technical supports
Managing a website can get relatively technical problems that need solving by your web host. For this reason, you need Web hosting companies in Uganda that provides 24 hours a day technical support. You don't want your website going offline. Do note that the prominence here is for technical support.
With a small amount of research one can get best web hosting services at a sensible price. There is always a scope to upgrade your web host plan if your website starts generating huge web traffic.


text: htawfik 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 Hi I am running the TDF BASK basic example provided in the SystemC AMS User Guide (I ran the modulation only without the demodulation). I am using the variation that make the bit_src module a pure SystemC module that is to be accessed from SystemC AMS mixer module through a converter port. My understanding is that the SystemC kernel is blocked by the SystemC AMS kernel. Accessing the converter port from SystemC AMS should trigger the SystemC kernel to advance until time of SystemC kernel = time of SystemC AMS kernel. Please correct me of I am wrong. I have made a small change in the example where I commented the mixer part that reads from the pure SystemC bit_src module. The bit_src is still connected but ports are not accessed. I have added few cout in order to track the execution semantics and I found out the bit_src module is still running each 200 ms (as specified by the example). I don't understand why it does run. Shouldn't it be blocked given that nobody accesses its ports ? I am using SystemC AMS 1.0 and SystemC 2.2.0 Thank you for your help Hanan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Insurance & Annuity Plans
Why do I need Life Insurance? Even a young single person has a need for a life insurance plan to provide funding for statements made in your Will. One cannot die for free. Final Expenses, Estate Taxes, Probate and providing for the survivors. There are many types of plans based upon Whole Life, Universal Life and Term Life. No one particular plan is absolute for each person and their situation in life. The "prime time" to establish such a plan is when one is young and in good health. These factors will enable one to take advantage of the best rates and preferred underwriting consideration.
None of us plan on dying at any certain age. But LIFE happens and so should the planning for the unexpected be put into place while having an opportunity to receive all the best considerations for your plan. A thought to consider is from this saying: "If every wife knew, what every widow knows, no home would be without adequate life insurance."
Sawyer Insurance Services was established in 1979 providing many clients over the years with professional, quality plan designs using any number of companies. In fact, our resource allows our access to seventy (70) top companies that you have come to know and respect. These companies offer quality Financial Services plans for every need. My clients enjoy my assistance to help them design a plan that they own and control. Contact our office to inquire about these plans. It only takes a brief interview to obtain some information so a proposal can be prepared. Our agency services clients in TX, AR and AZ. Give us a call today.


text: After we had Naiya, we went from seeing our families a few times a year to so many times a year, it's become increasingly difficult to keep track! All of this extra family time has really upped our travel game recently–especially since Phil and I are both east coast transplants and we want to make sure we are able to visit everyone. This weekend, we took a road trip from LA to Phoenix and back to see Phil's family for a total of almost 6 hours each way. In prepping for the trip, while I initially couldn't help but picture a baby crying fest and anxiety overload, we lived to tell the tale! Today, I'm rounding up our favorites tips in case you have family road trips with your baby or toddler planned in the near future too. I should add that many of these tips were recommendations I received from readers on Instagram! A big thank you to those who helped us out–you guys are lifesavers!

Visit your family doctor (GP) if you have mental health concerns.
A GP can give you advice, medication, do tests and refer you to a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist if you need these services.
Contact the GP out-of-hours service if your GP is not available or use the mental health services unit at your local hospital.
Your GP might refer you to a mental health team at your local Primary Care centre. This team may include a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker and occupational therapist. The HSE Primary Care Centres also offer health or social services such as a psychologist in a community based setting outside of a hospital. The community mental health team is usually made up of a consultant psychiatrist, registrar in psychiatry and nurses.
Your GP or Primary Care team can also refer you to Counselling in Primary Care if you have a medical card. This service is free of charge from the HSE. It offers 6-8 counselling sessions and is delivered by qualified therapists.
Counselling is also available through self-referral if you contact individual organisations and make an appointment directly.

As students accumulate points, they earn Micro-Badges that unlock new levels on their game-board to compete with their classmates and earn privileges to customize their avatar and tutoring experience. In this post, we will examine how FEV's My Journey helps students to become self-advocates.

This short, easy pass is located close to the junction of the N1 and the R70, near Winburg in the Free State. The official route designation is the R70. This tarred road was in poor condition at the time of filming in February, 2016. It presents moderate gradients and only four very gentle curves. It lies to the east of the large irrigation dam - the Erfenis Dam, which is a popular weekend destination for locals offering fresh water angling, camping as well as a nature reserve at its north-western end near the dam wall.
Mountain Passes South Africa is a website dedicated to the research, documentation, photographing and filming of the mountain passes of South Africa.
Passes are classified according to provinces and feature a text description, Fact File including GPS data, a fully interactive dual-view map and a narrated YouTube video.
We are as passionate about maps as we are about mountain passes. A good map is a thing of beauty that can transport you into the mists of time or get your sense of adventure churning. It is a place to make discoveries about deserts and seas, mountains and lakes; of roads leading into places you have not been before; a place to pore over holiday destinations or weekend camping trips. A map is your window to the world.

Immigration is shaping up to be the defining issue of this decade. After the refugee crisis following the Arab Spring uprisings in the early 2010s, native resentment of generous immigration policies in the West are now front-and-center in our discourse. Research and polls suggest that this sentiment is the single largest contributor to the populist wave currently sweeping across the developed world.
Yesterday, my colleague Gemma Ksenia La Guardia wrote a piece accusing Western governments of failing to act strongly enough on behalf of refugees, claiming in her title that "History will damn us for our apathy towards migrants."
Gemma's claim gets at something important. Many, mostly on the far-right, do fail to exhibit empathy for the dire cases of these refugees, and even those of economic migrants as well. Also, as she pointed out in her piece, the ways in which migrants are dehumanized by many far-right politicians today sounds eerily reminiscent to the ugliness of German attitudes circa 1940.
These immigrants have been born into lives of hardship by no fault of their own, and we should always keep that in mind when making policy that could have life-and-death implications for them. Instead, those on the far-right write these people off as "the other", absolving themselves and Westerners more generally of any moral responsibility for their plight.
To make another thing clear, it is crucial that Western countries respect the principle of non-refoulement: that a country cannot return a refugee to their home if they are likely to be persecuted upon their return. It is important that the West lead by example in the realm of international law, and non-refoulement is one of the most important principles laid out in it. The people who are genuinely fleeing genocide and the like should be given refuge in any country that they claim asylum in.
That being said, it is dangerously misguided to describe as morally bankrupt those who are more cautious about the negative aspects of immigration.
There are understandable reasons for Western skepticism in regards to policies that allow more migrants into their countries, especially given the dishonest track-record of their politicians on the subject. European representatives have admitted since the implementation of the "Guest Worker" programs of Post World War Two that they never had any clear plan for repatriating these workers after their temporary visas expired, or for any of the temporary or illegal immigrants that have come since then for that matter. In virtually every European country, liberal and center-right politicians have campaigned for years on easing the flow of immigration, and getting a handle on the wholly inconsistent visa application process, and in almost all cases immigration has either increased or continued at the same rate.
This, as one might expect, has led those citizens who are genuinely concerned with mass-immigration to place their trust in politicians who pin their entire candidacy on drastically reducing, or even completely halting immigration to their countries – the vast majority of these candidates being far-right populists.
To argue that Western nations must let in more immigrants at this stage, or that they should relax the already-insufficient immigration laws that currently exist, is to ignore the democratic reality we find ourselves in. Majorities of people in most European countries have expressed their desire for reduced immigration levels, and if governments and political pundits continue to dismiss their concerns as simply xenophobic or morally questionable, they will find themselves living under new governments that will forgo the individual rights of citizens and democratic procedures in the interest of pleasing their hardline supporters. In fact, many Western countries arguably already do find themselves in this situation.
In order to truly help alleviate the suffering of those fleeing conflict in the third world, European governments must take several steps. First, they must do everything reasonably possible to control the flow of immigrants coming into the continent and across borders within Europe. Second, there must be an efficient and practical system established to process incoming immigrants, and to repatriate those who do not meet the necessary qualifications. Both of these measures will help to ease the anxiety many European citizens feel in regards to immigration, and will therefore allow for measures that will directly benefit immigrants to be received more favorably by the public. And third, there must be more investment in refugee camps and services in and around the areas of conflict. Solid research by experts such as Paul Collier and David Goodhart suggests that instead of distant countries taking in vast numbers of refugees, the best way to handle refugee crises is to invest resources in countries nearby so that they can more easily go back home once the conflict has subsided, and to avoid all of the difficulties associated with assimilating people from significantly different cultures into Western countries.
It is not immoral to argue for lower-levels of immigration. Indeed, if we continue to portray this issue as a fight between the forces of good and evil, then we will inevitably drive a large contingency of otherwise reasonable people into the hands of genuine extremists who really do have morally repugnant viewpoints.

Summer Research Funding
Global Metropolitan Studies (GMS) is pleased to announce a competition for summer research grants of up to $5000 to students currently enrolled in the Designated Emphasis. Applications are due February 28, 2020. Applications for pre-dissertation research are especially encouraged, but all projects will be considered, subject to available funding. Please see the Documents section for application instructions.
Last year's recipients of funding include:
- Alli Appelbaum, City and Regional Planning, A comparative exploration of the security guarding industry and urban governance: Johannesburg, Delhi and Mumbai
- Celina Balderas Guzman, Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning, Planning for the Future of California Salt Marshes
- Priscila Coli Rocha, City and Regional Planning, The rise of new political actors in Brazilian peripheries: The effects on space, politics, and planning
- Savannah Cox, City and Regional Planning, Assembling Urban Resilience in Miami
- Beki McElvain, City and Regional Planning, Understanding social vulnerability and risk in the context of water infrastructure and earthquake hazards in México City
- Millard McElwee, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Using Neighborhood Demographics and Organizational Analysis to Supplement Agent Based Models for Traffic In New Orleans, LA
- Giselle Mendonça Abreu, City and Regional Planning, "Urbanizing" the hinterland: agriculture-led urbanization and participatory planning in the Brazilian Midwest
- Madeleine Parker, City and Regional Planning, A study of ridehailing programs for passengers with disabilities in Boston and NYC
- Francisco Trejo Morales, Anthropology, Social Housing and Fragmented Politics: A Study of Political Activism In Mexico's City Metropolitan Area
Conference Funding
GMS also supports the costs of attending conferences for students enrolled in the DE. Applications should be submitted as the need arises, and will be accepted on a rolling basis. Students will be awarded no more than three grants per academic career. Each student who is applying should already have made use of a conference grant from graduate division. We therefore recommend that students concentrate their use of the GMS DE conference grants during the post-candidacy stage, when it is vital to present one's dissertation research at academic conferences.
To apply, (1) fill out the Travel Grant Application and email it with (2) the accepted title and abstract and (3) the email confirming acceptance of your paper to the GMS Co-Directors. Awards are granted for up to $500.
