Last summer, 15 baby Chinese alligators hatched on Chongming Island, China. That’s great news, says Bronx-based gator guru Joseph Abene, but the rare animal is still in trouble. The International Union for Conservation of Nature reports that the Chinese alligator is "critically endangered." Abene says fewer than 150 wild Chinese alligators live in a roughly 200-square-mile region of eastern China.
For the last two summers, Abene and Zhang Fang, a biology professor from Anhui Normal University, have been surveying wild Chinese alligators in Anhui Province. They plan to increase the population through controlled breeding.
Abene says the project poses several obstacles. Rainy weather impedes data collection, for one. Alligator breeding is tricky business—if a gator doesn’t like his betrothed, he might kill her, or vice versa. And farmers complain that Chinese alligators, the only relatives of the American alligator, like to terrorize ducks.
The scientists say the farmers are overreacting. Chinese alligators prefer rodents, Abene notes. Zhang, who works part-time for the Wildlife Conservation Society and wrote his master’s thesis on the Chinese alligator’s sexual behavior, describes the gators as "very gentle."
Abene estimates that the survey-and-breeding project will take between 10 and 15 years. The Anhui Research Center of Chinese Alligator Reproduction provides most of the funding. Abene, curator at the Georgia-based Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation, gets partial funding from the Cullen Vivarium Wildlife Conservancy in Milwaukee. He has also spent $5,000 out of pocket.
According to Abene, Chinese officials could save wild Chinese Alligators—known locally as "muddy dragons"—by turning the animals" Anhui stomping grounds into a wildlife preserve. "It’s a grand idea," he concedes. "And it’s pretty much the only way that the remaining habitat will be saved."

It's no secret that rompers are "in" right now... and it's also no secret that I am a major fan!
When I saw this one I knew it would be perfect for some rooftop cocktails. So when I went out to Adams Morgan on Saturday night grabbing this off the hanger was a no brainer!
Lulu's Romper sold out (love, love, dress, shirt, shirt) // Kate Spade Clutch (wristlet) // Marley Lilly Ring // Lulu's Knot Bracelet // Gigglosophy Love Bracelet // Coordinates Collection Necklace // Clinique Lipstick in "chunkiest chili"
I love white because it creates a blank slate and looks great in the summer with a tan. I kept my accessories simple and punched the look up with this cheeky clutch. Then I layered on some easy, gold jewelry, my sandals that I bought in Spain when I studies abroad and we were out the door!
We went to Roofer's Union in Adams Morgan... Highly recommend the rooftop!

When I rented a car yesterday, I accepted the keys and paperwork from the representative, then went directly to the spot he had indicated: E2.
When I was handed the fob for a keyless entry car, I thought “I can do this.” Even though my CRV is a 2005 and anything but keyless, Tenley has a keyless car. Other people in 2019 have keyless cars. I COULD DO THIS.
I was a bit surprised that it was a Cadillac, but figured he gave me what he had on the lot, even though it was an upgrade beyond what I ordered.
I pressed the button to start the ignition.
There I sat, for about 10 minutes, watching YouTube videos of how to start a keyless entry Cadillac. I found the glove compartment and the old-timey paper manual and looked up how to start the thing. No luck.
I finally gave up and decided I needed to walk back into the airport, where the rental car counter was, and ask. I wasn’t happy about this development, but I needed to get going.
The rep didn’t intentionally send me to the wrong spot, but his confidence influenced me to go there.
It took 10 minutes for me to stop being frustrated, stop searching for a way to start a car I didn’t have a key to, and to explore the evidence right in my hands that I should think differently.
What do you need to re-think today that might shed light on a message someone told you, confidently, that wasn’t factually correct and resulted in you not getting anywhere?

Reminds me of a trip I took out of LAX. I arrived kind of late, and parked in one of the long-term lots…and forgot to make note of the lot and space.
It was interesting, when I got back. The attenant let me borrow his personal car and cruise around, searching for my lost vehicle…and my pride.
Oh I love this story. And your ending is like a tiny little novel all wrapped up with a bow. Thank you for sharing.
I was right there with you. I would have totally doubted the Cadillac upgrade, but would have taken the attendant’s word at face value. Because that is my normal mindset, there are probably several things I should rethink. I better think of what they are.
I’m glad you eventually found the right car. I would probably be sleeping in the Cadillac right now.
HAAA. I did leave the Cadillac in kind of odd shape b/c I had ripped the plastic off the manual in my haste — I just left the manual splayed out on the seat. I sort of felt like that was a justified message to send ha ha!
You must be a mind reader. I’ve been thinking lately that let things that I KNOW can handle and KNOW I fix bother me too much. Wow! This one is really on target.
Thanks. Apparently it struck a chord!
Such a great post! Honestly people make mistakes. It happens all the time, and we are so responsible for our reactions. I love that you chose to see it as a teaching moment (with grace) rather then lashing out at the attendent!
Good point. Fortunately I wasn’t in a HUGE hurry. That helped.
The internet is a good example! We seem to deem it reliable and let it influence us without exploring the evidence or what we already know. Sorry you had to experience the frustration but it sure made a great post today!
Ha! I guess things like that happen to everyone. And this one was even your fault…but made for a cute story.
I know it’s a free write and we are supposed to just go with it…but I cannot help by correct errors (and still I miss some).
I can just picture this, and it’s exactly something that I would do! We all get caught in “one track mind” mode. It can be quite hard to step back and look at something from a different angle. Thanks for the reminder!

Children habitat is the School????
Home > > General Topics Children habitat is the School????
Children with different mentalty so child will adjust themselves from home environment to a new world with similar age group. They change gradually, mingling with other students, teachers and parents. There some alerts for their happy and sorrow. All there changes is possible with the environment in which they are growing.
How does it happen? The question is almost a holy grail for parents, teachers, and researchers. After all, no one wants to see a child fail in school. There changes is a “dynamic process that can be positively influenced by parents.” Do these traits look familiar?
Is they are interested in learning: From earliest childhood, parents and community have offered interesting things to explore, and have encouraged curiosity.
Will they continue learning: This means they ask questions, and they seek help. When they get stuck, they know that adults are on hand to help—and that its worth asking.
Put your effort into their work: Parents can convey the message that if kids try hard, the results will pay off. These kids are proud of effort, and they dont give up.
Focus on social environment: School is full of emotional and social challenge, as kids handle friends, authority, and group dynamics. Parents can help by supporting kids in making good decisions and being generous friends.
Encourage their knowledge and interest: Parents help when they celebrate their children just as they are, neither less nor more, while still encouraging high hopes and dreams.
Parents make yourself a role model to child: This does not mean that parents must be perfect—it means they must be real, and they must be willing to be learners sometimes too.
Teach them natural science: This doesnt require that Batch be piped into the nursery or abstract mathematics be taught in the sandbox. It means that parents talk, explain, name and count everyday things and experiences, helping kids learn and make meaning.
Follow helpful family routines: Kids can count on regular meals, baths, and sleep times. When its time for school, theyre ready to go.
Know that rules count: Parents help by setting clear limits and boundaries - “authoritative” rather than too strict or too lax.
Attend schools with “high expectations,” strong and effective staff development, and good communication about kids’ progress. Whatever the age of the child, parents can help by modeling good communication, and by staying in close touch with teachers and school staff.

Modern modalities usually incorporate traditional techniques along with newly developed technology. Certain modern modalities rely almost exclusively on machines to generate an outcome, or inform the practitioner of the best course of treatment. The origin of most modern modalities can be traced back to one or more traditional medical practices and generally include manual techniques derived from traditional medicine. In many cases specialized instruments are used to affect the musculo-skeletal or nervous systems, or advanced forms of bodywork are utilized in order to condition one's body for specific purposes such as running, playing certain sports, or even the mastery of a musical instrument!

The Açaí palm (Assai palm) is a type of palm tree. There are seven different types of Açaí palms. The tree grows in Central and South America. It has a black-purple fruit about the size of a grape called a euterpe. The seed inside is very big. The fruit grows in bunches of 700 to 900 fruits.
The palms are mainly used for two things: First, salads called palmitos (heart of palm) can be made from the leaves; for this, the tree needs to be cut down. Secondly, the fruits can be made into a fruit juice that is said to be very healthy.

When I thought of writing something about bereavement, I started to feel a bit of a fraud. Given that I never have, and now never will have, the pleasure of Richard’s company, writing of loss seemed disingenuous of me. However, those feelings don’t cover it. Over a long period of time, Richard and I conversed at least a couple of times a week. That’s more than I talk to many members of my close family. Richard gave me an education in Texan and Mexican cooking. He opened my eyes to the amazing range and subtly of flavour in those often mis-understood cuisines. I well remember the fun and excitement generated by ‘The McGary Chilli Challenge’, a wonderfully generous and entertaining competition set for Stefan and me. His fun approach to the Board Meeting posts reflected so well on his personality. My friends Stefan Kees and Mimi all got to visit with Richard and Elia, Richard’s beloved wife and the Baby Lady of pouring shot fame.
Richard’s influence has led to the repertoire in our household being expanded. We now have Masa flour, Achiote paste, a huge range of sweet, smokey and hot chilis, a tortilla press and an understanding of ingredients that otherwise would elude the average Irish cook.
But, I have much more than that. Just like one of those wonderful ‘frozen in time’ pouring shots on the REM Cooks blog, I have memories that, though now frozen in time, make me smile and have kind thoughts of Richard, my Texas food blogging buddy. R.I.P.
Chinese Truck Drivers' Sweet and Sour Pork with Pineapple.
Sorry to hear this news. You don’t have to have met someone in person for them to be a good friend and I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences, through you, to his family.
Thanks Linda, as you can see from the above, I am a bit conflicted. He was a lovely man.
That photo says it all!
Thanks Mimi. Fun memories indeed.
beautiful expressed. best wishes to you.
Thanks Adam. Not what I want to be posting about.
Thanks for that kind though. Like I say above, he was a great chap altogether.
I am sorry for your loss. I really think that you don’t need to necessarily meet someone for them to be a part of your life or for them to have made an impact on your life. He obviously did that for you and I hope that, in time, your memories of your conversations will sustain you and give you comfort.
Thanks Maggie. We had a hoot of a time with the various childish challenges we enjoyed. It’s such a pity that is now part of the past.
I totally understand that. Perhaps, at some stage, you can do a fun challenge in memory of him? It may not be something you want to think about now but some day down the road, it may be a nice way to honour him.
Thanks Melissa, you are a kind soul.
A loss is a loss, Conor, and I’m sorry for yours. This is a lovely tribute to make.
Thanks Tara. You are a nice person.
One thing I’ve learned is that there are all sorts of rewarding relationships. And thank goodness for them. Nice tribute.
Richard was huge fun. He was also very generous with his professional advice. He was a lawyer and gave me deep advice on how to deal with my photos being nicked. He went to lots of trouble when there was no need for him to do so. You would have got on very well with him. He was a big flavour guy. Do have a look at his site, linked above. You will love some of the stuff going on there.
Thanks Kathryn. Very nice of you to say so.
Great tribute to a fellow blogger. Sorry for the loss.
Hop over to REM Cooks and see some of the wonderful cooking he was at. The sense of fun came through in everything.
“He opened my eyes to the amazing range and subtly of flavour in those often misunderstood cuisines”…. A heartfelt tribute to your amazing blogger-buddy.
May his soul rest in eternal peace and happiness.
I’m so sorry to hear about this, but what a beautiful tribute to someone who expanded your food horizons and even though you never met in person, you could say you were close. You were food soulmates, which is no small miracle. Those Mexican ingredients are a true asset to a kitchen. I’m sorry for your loss and it is a loss for you. It’s beautiful to see such a lovely tribute.
Amanda, you are far too nice. There are many of us in the blogosphere who are very sad to see him gone.
Great tribute to your friend .
Thanks. He was a great guy.
A lovely post Conor. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. It’s amazing the different ways people can touch and influence our lives, and leave such a void when they’re gone.
I’m not certain how I stumbled upon your post but I must thank you. I had the absolute pleasure of knowing Richard. I was fortunate to have him cook a meal for me in his home (fabulous!). He had several dinners with us (in St. Louis, Missouri). My husband worked with him and I was the tag along (lucky) wife that got to know him (and his beautiful wife, Elia). I believe I first met him on our turf and he was wearing his cowboy boots and hat and that BIG smile he always carried with him. We went to the best restaurants when Richard was in town and enjoyed fine wine. When we managed a trip to Dallas we were welcomed in their home and I was amazed at the art of his cooking. I’ve been grieving the loss of our friend and your post brought me such a smile. Thank you!
Many thanks for sharing these thoughts. I will be in Amsterdam with Stefan and Kees in a couple of weeks time. They made the trip over and were welcomed with McGary generosity and friendship. They had the pleasure of cooking with Richard and Elia. Stefan has spoken with great warmth of both of them. It was to have been a future trip of ours. Sadly, this will now not be.
Lovely tribute… I too have made some wonderful acquaintances through the wide world of international food blogging, who I now consider dear friends and with whom I look forward to communicating with on a weekly basis.
Thanks Angelica. That is kind of you to say.

One of the most common types of injuries that Chicago residents experience are slip and fall accidents. As seasoned Illinois slip and fall lawyers, we have reviewed many cases involving these accidents and know exactly what it takes to ensure that you receive the full amount of compensation that you are owed. One of the most difficult aspects of any trip and fall case is determining whether the defect that caused your injury was a defect that the defendant should have either addressed or warned against.
A recent lawsuit highlights the importance of this issue. The plaintiff alleged that she suffered injuries after stepping into a pothole located in a parking lot, resulting in a fall. The plaintiff brought a lawsuit against the purported owners of the parking lot, an LLC and a Corporation. The plaintiff claimed that the defendants failed to maintain the parking lot and failed to provide a warning against the pothole. Both defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which asks the court to conclude that there are no factual disputes and that the party bringing the motion is entitled to judgment in its favor.
In their motion, the defendants argued that the pothole was de minimis and that it did not rise to the level of a defect for the plaintiff’s claim. More specifically, the defendants stated that any defect that is under two inches tall cannot be considered an actionable defect in a premises liability case. The defendants offered testimony from the owner of both the LLC and the Corporation. In his testimony, he alleged that the pothole was roughly half an inch. The trial court took this statement of fact as uncontroverted.
The lower court granted the motion, entering a judgment on behalf of the defendants. The plaintiff appealed. On review, the appellate court reversed, finding that evidence in the record created a factual dispute about the height of the pothole. The plaintiff testified that although she was not sure exactly how deep the pothole was, the pothole was large enough for the two-inch heels she was wearing to become stuck in the pothole. Additionally, the appellate court challenged the sufficiency of the owner’s testimony, which did not explain how he reached the conclusion that the pothole was half an inch tall. The appellate court also rejected the defendant’s argument that the pothole was of a de minimis nature and not actionable. Accordingly, the appellate court reversed the order entering summary judgment in favor of the defendants and remanded the matter for a new trial.

Can you confirm these amateur observations of Gyalopion canum?
Comment Type species: Pariaspis [?] canum COPE 1860: 241 is the type species of the genus Gyalopion COPE 1860.
Etymology The generic name Gyalopion is derived from the Greek words gyalos, meaning "hollow" and pion, meaning "fat," applied in reference to the somewhat concave dorsal surface of the rostral. The specific epithet comes from the Latin word canus, meaning "gray," in reference to its general appearance (LEMOS-ESPINAL & DIXON 2013).

I know profit mongers will have a tough time hijacking 3D printing as ordinary people and even folks with disabilities can benefit from it. But even then, I feel a bit disappointed when I see numerous 3D pundits are sneering at the growth of assistive technologies. In 4 basic measures you can link a video in your camera roll or photo album as an overlay and sync it to an item or a picture symbol in the classroom. A great resource for educators, Internet 2.: How-To for Educators involves Vokis as just one particular of the tools accessible to educators as an straightforward way to insert technology into the classroom. Livia, an additional of the GPII personas, is a 15-year-old girl who is legally blind.
Net two.: New Tools, New Schools offers a complete overview of the emerging Internet 2. technologies and their use in the classroom and in professional development. The third edition of this complete guide written to aid instructors incorporate podcasts, screen-casting, blogs and other multimedia features into their classroom. Edu: Technology and Finding out Environments in Higher Education discusses how larger education institutions can use newer technologies to allow studying environments.
Some of the new technologies explored contain Internet 2., multimedia, virtual presence, gaming, and the proliferation of mobile devices. I feel it really is a really clever way to get students involved and to make classroom activities more interesting. Most communication devices are switch accessible if a student is unable to access the device directly. Students who are unable use keyboard or mouse devices may possibly need to use an adaptive switch for laptop input. Utah Parent Center provides info about Switch Activities Market Classroom Inclusion for Young Students.
Assistive Technology (AT) has been employed to give new possibilities for youngsters with disabilities to interact with and manage their environment. Hopefully, assistive app makers will be in a position to take benefit of these new features to help men and women with different demands. This eliminates the distortion present in analog devices generating hearing of conversations clearer.
Developers can also add the potential to unlock their app employing Touch ID finger print recognition for devices with Touch ID. Lastly, developers can develop extensions to permit their app to execute functions within other apps. Remain tuned to the Assistive Technology Weblog to find out more about the new included accessibility characteristics and about apps that take advantage of the new developer attributes. By means of our study, we want to empower folks to have choice and be able to self-handle their conditions via the use of technology.

Pamela Wade flies aboard Christchurch Helicopters.
A shiny red-and-white single-engined AS350 helicopter, better known as a Squirrel. It's popular all over the world for its versatility in a wide range of practical roles but today is carrying five passengers on a jaunt into the mountains from Christchurch: patchwork plains, braided river, rocky gorges, snowy mountains and a quick flit afterwards over the rebuilding city.
Class: You can't get much classier than having Richie McCaw as your pilot, tucking you into your seatbelt and patiently agreeing to all requests for selfies.
My seat: Initially a window seat at the back but, after our midway landing, the favoured front seat next to Richie with a magical view all around — and also of an intimidating and densely-packed panel of buttons and dials.
Price: A tour like this costs about $950, but shorter flights start at $350. Or you could splurge on nearly two hours of movie-set scenery featuring lakes, mountains and skifields for $1450. Or go bespoke: price on application. Console yourself that a portion of the price goes towards protecting highly endangered orange-fronted parakeets.
Flight time: It was meant to be an hour, but felt longer: we were all having too much fun to check our watches. We certainly didn't feel rushed during our spectacular viewpoint stop on top of 1960m Chest Peak, snow and ice crunching underfoot.
Fellow passengers: They'll understand when I say they scarcely registered. I mean, helicopter, mountains, sun, snow and Richie McCaw. But they were as thrilled to be there as I was.
How full: It seats six all up: two in front, four behind.
Entertainment: Besides marvelling at the stunning scenery — just as good as Queenstown and much more accessible — we got a commentary from McCaw about geography, history and geology plus lots of gossipy snippets that I couldn't dream of sharing.
Food and drink: Not on this trip — but nothing is impossible. You just have to ask (and then pay for it).
Toilets: If you were desperate, there's the peak you land on, I suppose, if everyone agreed to look the other way. Best loo view ever.
Service: The McCaw element is not guaranteed — Christchurch Helicopters have eight pilots — but is hard to beat for sheer bragging rights afterwards. The overall package of safe and friendly sharing of glorious scenery is, however, standard.
Airport experience: To get to the helicopter depot you have to drive around to the far side of Christchurch Airport. Then, in the neat staffroom, you have to watch a moderately frightening safety video starring guess who? before walking about 10m to board your chopper.

On April 4th, Broome County officials honored AmeriCorps members at Rural Health Service Corps for National Service Recognition Day. VISTA member Caroline Russo represented other members from RHSC in accepting a certificate from Broome County Executive, Jason Garnar. She was also interviewed by WBNG.
RHSC is still accepting applications for the Broome County Opioid AmeriCorps Pilot Project! WBNG covered the press conference announcing the initiative. The story was also featured in the Corporation for National & Community Service newsletter earlier this week. Read about the Impact of National Service .
More information on this project, along with other available part-time positions, can be found on our website .
The Food & Health Network is excited to announce our involvement as a 2017-2019 National Farm to School Network New York Supporting Partner. This new role recognizes FaHN's leadership in the farm to school movement, and will provide new opportunities for us to continue building capacity and support for farm to school activities in New York. The National Farm to School Network has selected Core Partner and Supporting Partner organizations in all 50 states, Washington D.C. and U.S. Territories to collaborate on efforts to continue growing healthy kids, thriving farms and vibrant communities. Learn more about our new role and partnership at farmtoschool.org/ournetwork.
Mobility Management of South Central New York (MMSCNY), (a program of the Rural Health Network of South Central New York) and Care Compass Network are pleased to announce the establishment of a new transportation voucher program for the region's Medicaid population. As Medicaid currently functions, the cost of transportation for enrollees to specific medical and health-related appointments is covered; however, the cost of transportation to certain treatments, pharmacies for prescription pickup, or grocery stores is not covered.
The new voucher program is available to residents of Broome, Chenango, Tioga and parts of Delaware counties and will provide Medicaid enrollees the ability to access those services. MMSCNY Director Bill Wagner, considers these essential to improving health. "We recognize that people's health needs go far beyond their medical appointments. We also believe that a lack of transportation and a lack of access, in general, makes it harder for people to live healthy lives. As both a transportation organization and a program of the Rural Health Network of South Central New York, it makes sense for us to be the ones to help facilitate this, to help people get to the things that are going to make them healthier, reduce trips to the emergency room and have fewer hospital admissions," states Wagner.
The program will work by using local healthcare providers and community based service providers to initiate conversations with Medicaid enrollees about their needs. First, they will determine if an enrollee is having difficulty picking up prescriptions, buying healthy food, getting to support groups, or anywhere else deemed essential for their health. If so, they will be allotted a small quantity of vouchers and referred to the Getthere Call Center.
Care Compass Network (CCN), the organization charged with leading New York State's Medicaid redesign effort in Southern Tier counties, has made some of its Innovation Funding available to MMSCNY to pilot this voucher program. The expectation is that by focusing on aspects of people's health beyond their specific doctors' appointments, enrollees will be better able to improve their own health and avoid costly emergency room visits and hospital readmissions.
Rural Health Network SCNY is happy to welcome Judith Salton to the staff as the Population Health Coordinator for Delaware County. Working within the Population Health Improvement Program (PHIP), Judi's primary focus will be on convening stakeholders in Delaware County to identify, share, and disseminate information about determinants of health, health disparities, and health outcomes, and helping to build capacity toward best practices.
Judi brings to RHN a diverse background in Business, Human Ecology and Education with a discipline in Family Consumer Science, that encompasses seventeen years of experience working with children and families in both the private and public sector which includes public education. In 2012 Judi took her passion for humanity to another level and began working in community outreach. It is there that she gained a wider scope of awareness and experience regarding health disparities and the role they play within our communities. Judi is excited to join the RHN team as Population Health Coordinator for Delaware County where she looks forward to continue her passion to improve lives.
The PHIP is locally branded as the Southern Tier HealthlinkNY Community Network. RHNSCNY is a subcontracted entity with HealthlinkNY to implement the program in Tioga and Delaware Counties.

The game is ever evolving. Batters get better, pitchers get faster and your game has to catch up. Which is exactly why the updated 4040v4 Mid-Cut Metal Cleat is built lighter than before, with amazing mid-foot support, low profile cleats for superior grip and strategically-placed cushioning to make your game almost effortless.
These are only pair of baseball spikes my high school age son will wear. We have tried all different kinds of spikes and these have the best fit and really last.
These run about 1/2 size too small. I wish I had known before I ordered them 3 times to get it right.
Very comfortable shoe for pitching performance. Highly recommended.
First off I am a fastpitch softball pitcher, and I think no matter whether it is baseball or softball, the metal cleat should not come out of the sole. I bought these customized 4040, and after the 1st game I pitched, the front spike started to come out of the sole. Love New Balance, but extremely dissapointed with the cleat structure.

One of the Yemen’s greatest attractions is the remote Socotra Island, which is not used to crowds of tourists at all. Some 6 million years ago, Socotra got separated from the mainland, and ever since, the life has been developing here in its own way. According to scientific research, there are 700 species of plants and animals which are not to be found anywhere else on the planet.
The coastal plains tend to be fairly arid and vegetation is sparse. The foothills of the mountains display a shrubby landscape with incense trees and bizarre bottle-trunked trees. The species for which the island is renowned in evergreen woodland over the centre and east of the island and is the dominant tree in some areas.
The island is, also, one of the most important homes for rare birds in the Middle East, with over a hundred species of which seven are endemic. Around the coasts are large numbers of dolphins and some whales, in particular sperm whales.
Positioned near the southern gateway to the Red Sea, Socotra has been famous since ancient times. By the time of Abraham, traders from Egypt, Africa, India and Arabia called in here.
Ancient Egypt knew Socotra as the Island of the Genie - the spirit of the sacred tree, whose gum they used for mummification, temple offerings and medicine. In the first century AD the Greeks called Socotra, Dioscoridea. The Hadramout kingdom traded here out of Qana, near present-day Bir Ali, and later the Himyarites sailed here from Muza on the Red Sea.
Today there is only one airport on Socotra. Locals are quite unused to receiving any attention from the outside world and thus anyone who arrives here is likely to draw a lot of attention. Besides the unique flora and fauna the great tourist potential of Socotra are also its numerous wonderful beaches that are completely untouched. Recently, Socotra found itself in the spotlight when its name appeared on the shortlist of the New Seven Wonders of the World contest. Also, it was named the ‘New York Times travel destination of the year 2006’.
The local way of life is very simple; no industry, not much agriculture, no quarrels or fights. Socotra is in its own way a striking place – not particularly booming with night life, yet a welcome haven of peace and quiet.

How Nonprofits, Self-Funding Candidates Made A Mark On The 2018 Primary Races That Will Help Shape Lansing In 2019.
LANSING (SEPT. 14, 2018) — A handful of big-spending candidates, two active nonprofits and a slew of open seats in the Michigan Senate led to expensive primary races across the state this summer.
In 2014, the last time all 38 seats in the Senate were on the ballot, there were three races where the candidates’ campaigns combined to spend more than $400,000 — those totals don't include other spenders working independently of the campaigns. The Michigan Campaign Finance Network identified the numbers as “unusually high spending totals” for primaries.
For 2018, there were four primary races for the Senate where the candidates combined to spend more than $500,000. When outside spending is included, there were four primary races that cost more than $600,000. And the final numbers aren’t in yet.
To create a list of the eight most expensive primary races for the Michigan Legislature for 2018, MCFN analyzed candidate campaign spending disclosures through Aug. 27 (the primary was Aug. 7), disclosed independent spending through July 20 and broadcast TV ad-tracking data from Kantar Media/CMAG.
Reports on independent spending that happened from July 21 through the Aug. 7 primary election won’t be available until late October. At that point, MCFN will update the numbers.
Of the eight most expensive primary races for the seats in the Legislature, seven of them were races for open seats in the state Senate. There are 38 seats in the Senate. At least 28 of them will be in the hands of newcomers in 2019.
The following is a breakdown of the eight most expensive primary races we’ve tracked so far and where some of the money has come from. Click on the district to see information on the top donors to each candidate and how much each candidate reported raising.
The most expensive Democratic primary race was in the Ann Arbor-based 18th Senate District. There, Jeff Irwin, a former state House member, won despite being outspent by one of his opponents.
Irwin’s campaign reported spending $166,520. The campaign of Washtenaw County Commissioner Michelle Deatrick spent twice that, $349,806, according to campaign finance reports. The majority of Deatrick’s money — she raised $371,703 — came from the candidate or her husband. They gave about $317,000, according to disclosures.
Two other candidates, Anuja Rajenda and Matthew Miller, spent $153,778 and $8,056, respectively.
While self-funders came up in multiple districts this summer, Roger Victory, a state House member from Hudsonville, won the GOP nomination in the 30th District.
His campaign raised $262,703 with $184,700 contributed by Victory. The campaign spent $262,104 on the primary.
The top spender in the race was the campaign of Daniela Garcia, a state House member from Holland. Her campaign reported spending $287,308 and also received outside support from the Great Lakes Education Project. Former Rep. Joe Haveman’s campaign spent $102,304.
The personal giving of Rep. Holly Hughes, a Republican from Montague, helped make West Michigan’s 34th Senate District GOP primary one of the most expensive primary races of 2018.
According to campaign finance reports, Hughes gave her own campaign a net amount of about $281,048 — she contributed $1.03 million but repaid herself $750,000 before the election. The DeVos family chipped in $12,000 for Hughes, and the DeVos-supported Great Lakes Education Project backed Hughes independently.
Hughes’ campaign spent $402,976 but she lost to Jon Bumstead, a former House member from Newaygo. His campaign spent $193,939. He got outside support from the Safari Club and the Michigan Conservative Coalition, which ran about $8,000 in ads critical of Hughes.
In the 19th District, a well-funded ear, nose and throat doctor and a well-funded chiropractor squared off for the Republican nomination. John Bizon, the ear, nose and throat doctor, won.
Bizon, a current House member from Battle Creek, relied heavily on self-funding. He gave his campaign $190,000, according to campaign finance disclosures. His campaign spent $244,202. He also received independent support from the Great Lakes Education Project.
The campaign of his opponent, Michael Callton, a former House member from Nashville, spent $289,872. Among his top donors was the Michigan Association of Chiropractors PAC, which gave $16,600. Callton also benefited from $75,000 in positive broadcast TV advertisements from the nonprofit group Citizens for Energizing Michigan’s Economy, which has previously been funded by Consumers Energy.
The 31st District race makes this list because of the involvement of a nonprofit organization called Faithful Conservatives for Michigan. The organization, which doesn’t have to disclose where its money came from, spent an estimated $264,000 on broadcast ads critical of one candidate, Gary Glenn, or favorable toward the other, Kevin Daley.
The group’s estimated spending total doesn’t include the organization’s other expenditures on mailers or radio ads, which would drive the actual cost of the race up further.
The campaign of Daley, a former House member from Lum, spent just $102,883. The campaign of Glenn, a current House member from Larkin Township, spent $231,076. Daley ended up winning the nomination.
Outside groups played a big role in Southwest Michigan’s 26th District race.
There, the Michigan Realtors spent $65,394 to support Aric Nesbitt, a former House member from Lawton, and the nonprofit Citizens for Energizing Michigan’s Economy spent $65,000 on broadcast TV ads to promote him. Nesbitt’s campaign spent $221,435. Nesbitt, the former House Energy Committee chairman, won the nomination.
The campaigns of his opponents, Bob Genetski and Don Wickstra, reported spending $67,468 and $168,267 respectively.
Southwest Michigan also saw the most expensive primary race for the Michigan state House. In the 63rd District, Rep. David Maturen, of Vicksburg, lost his bid for re-election to conservative challenger Matt Hall.
Maturen’s campaign spent $132,158. He benefited from $30,000 in independent spending from the Michigan Realtors and $65,000 in positive TV ads aired by Citizens for Energizing Michigan’s Economy.
Hall’s campaign spent $162,997. His campaign raised $209,476 with $176,486 coming from the candidate. A PAC called Value for Michigan chipped in $5,000. The PAC, based in Grand Rapids, won’t have to report where its money came from until Oct. 25.
A buffet of interest groups spent money to try to influence the voters of Mid-Michigan’s 24th Senate District, where two state House members faced off for the GOP nomination.
Tom Barrett, of Potterville, won the race. His campaign shelled out $197,306. The Michigan Realtors ($30,000), the Michigan Chamber of Commerce ($15,040) and the Great Lakes Education Project ($5,684) all reported spending money independently of Barrett to try to help Barrett’s chances. The Realtors PAC also gave $20,000 to Barrett’s campaign.
Barrett’s opponent, Brett Roberts, of Eaton Township, benefited from mailers sent out by groups called the Alliance for Michigan Power, Policy Over Party and the Conservative Leadership and Values Coalition. Roberts’ campaign spent $168,279. Of the money the campaign raised, $75,500 came from Roberts himself.

Hepsia's Email Manager is an all-encompassing mail management solution, which will grant you full command over your email mailbox accounts and e-mail newsletters. With this easy-to-handle graphical user interface, you can create a brand new e-mailbox in no time and manage its settings with ease. Besides, you can forward electronic mails from one email account to another, activate e-mail filters, set up autoresponder messages and protect your mailbox accounts against junk emails.
We have server-side anti-spam filtering software, so you can defend all your email box accounts against spam mails. You can also change the anti-spam protection level from 'Very Low' to 'Very High' to ensure that no unwelcome emails will find their way into your e-mail box. Your emails will be filtered out based on their spam score. You can also decide whether a mail message flagged as spam should be deleted or forwarded to a specific e-mail box account.
E-mail filters are excellent for filtering your incoming e-mail messages according to certain criteria set by you. Creating mail filters is extremely easy - all you have to do is fill in a simple form and your e-mail filter will be activated and will take effect instantaneously. You can easily set up a filter for any of your electronic mail accounts and choose the email filtering criteria as per your desire.
You can easily forward your incoming mails from one e-mailbox to another, or even to a number of other mail accounts. Just choose the electronic mail account you want to redirect email messages from, then choose the target e-mail box and select if you want to leave a copy on our mail servers.
With the Email Manager, you can easily set up the e-mail client of your liking to access your email box accounts. Simply go to the Auto-Config column next to the mailbox you would like to set up on your personal computer or mobile device and click on the e-mail client that you would like to use (Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird or Apple Mail). Then a file will be created for you. Drag the file to your mail client and the new e-mail box will be configured in an instant.
With the Email Manager graphical user interface, managing multiple mailbox accounts at the same time is child's play. The Email Manager GUI will also permit you to easily create an auto-reply message - enter the message you would like people to see and our system will take care of the rest. And if you wish to set up a catch-all mailbox - you can do that with a simple mouse click on the Catch-all icon.

Behold, a magical candy to make the children of Hocotate weep with uncontrollable cravings. Pure, undeniable sweetness: unavoidable tooth decay. Who cares? Enjoy the here and now!
It's alright to enjoy the here and now, but it would be wise to look to the future as well. Everything you do has a consequence, whether it be positive or negative. Something as simple as drinking water in a glass adds to the work that needs to be done while washing dishes, which in turn could add stress to whoever is washing them, which could then lead to their being in a bad mood, which could finally backfire on you. Granted, that's a very schizophrenic example that you needn't worry about, unless you're one to be paranoidal. The ridiculous (but possible) example was used merely to illustrate the effect of chain reaction.
Action, reaction. Do you worry about your future, thinking before acting? Or do you simply act and leave the future in fate's hands, only dealing with the future when it becomes the present?
Put this on your spouse and you will always know if he or she is approaching. How convenient! A must-have item for couples who like to hide things.
A couple who hides things from each other can hardly be called a couple...or at least not an effective one. Not including surprise gifts that are eventually going to be unveiled, you shouldn't hide things from your loved one. You expect them to tell you the truth, and they expect the same out of you. Hiding things from your significant other is just another, more subtle form of unfaithfulness.
Share everything with your better half for the most optimum results in a relationship.

I make homemade gefilte fish twice a year: Passover and Rosh Hashanah. Before Passover, at what we call a “gefilte-in,” friends assemble in my kitchen with their own pots, fish, carrots, eggs, and matzo meal to make old-fashioned gefilte fish patties. For Rosh Hashanah, I make a light, circular fish terrine that looks beautiful and has the components of gefilte fish, but is very easy to make.
Fish has always been a mainstay of the Jewish diet, and fish balls, a precursor to gefilte fish, can be traced backed to the Middle Ages in Spain, and possibly earlier to the Middle East. When Jews migrated to Eastern Europe after their expulsion from Spain, they continued the tradition. Using the flesh of large, fresh-water kosher fish, cooks added onions, garlic, a little egg, and matzo meal and stuffed the filling into the skin of the fish, poaching and sometimes baking it. On the Sabbath, it was, of course, served cold.
As the dish crossed Europe with emigrants fleeing pogroms in the late 19th century, the elaborate procedure of stuffing it back in the skin (thus the name gefilte, meaning filled or stuffed) became easier: You just wrapped a piece of skin around a fish ball and poached it. By the time gefilte fish crossed the Atlantic, the skin was gone completely.
You can buy it today in jars or cans, but I prefer my homemade version (recipe here), with dill and mustard, and poached in a Bundt pan. Turned out on a platter and featured as one of many foods on my Rosh Hashanah lunch buffet, it is always a big success. Even those who swear they would “never eat gefilte fish” come back for seconds.

Globally, more than 1 billion people are employed in agriculture and the majority are smallholder farmers (SHF) in low-income countries. These farmers usually live in rural areas with limited access to transportation, financial services, and telecommunication. Their challenge is complex: generations of poverty and exclusion, compounded by increased competition over land, over-reliance on rain-fed agriculture, lack of available water for irrigation, massive urban migration, and shocks caused by climate change, including floods and drought. Moreover, demand for smallholder agricultural finance is significant – and largely unmet. Financial institutions are only meeting $50 billion of the more than $200 billion needed for smallholder finance in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and South and Southeast Asia.
Yet smallholder farmers are productive: they account for 80% of the food consumed in a large part of the developing world. In fact, 500 million smallholder farmers who cultivate less than two hectares of land feed one-third of all people on earth.
By 2023, Mercy Corps will provide 10 million farmers with the tools and resources to lift themselves out of poverty. Our AgriFin model leverages the power, convenience, and prevalence of mobile phones to help SHF access digital services to boost their harvests and incomes.
We target unbanked and underserved SHF living on less than USD $2.50/day. We support customer-centric design and development of products and services from proof-of-concept stage, to pilot, to scale up. Our target is to achieve at least 50% increase in productivity and income for SHF, with at least 50% of the beneficiaries we reach being women and youth.
Since 2012, Mercy Corps’ AgriFin programming has developed digitally enabled services with private sector partners – reaching 2.6 million SHF across Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
We research the needs of the SHF and bring together partners to develop products and services to meet those needs. We are the consultants/connectors in this process, and have developed deep expertise around how to develop market opportunities where there is economic gain for all.
In addition to serving SHF, we are committed to sharing what we learn. Market ecosystem actors and the development community tell us they often lack sufficient information, proven products and tools, and effective models to successfully provide digital financial services to farmers. We aim to fill that gap and provide a public information resource to all who might benefit from it.
Mercy Corps’ global presence in more than 40 countries around the world and our decades of experience building partnerships with local communities, government, and the private sector, led to 28 million people being directly impacted for good in 2018.
We are fueled by this progress, yet sharply motivated to widen, deepen, and scale our impact to improve the lives of millions more around the world. We are committed to expanding AgriFin to 12 additional countries in Sub Saharan Africa, the Americas, and elsewhere, lifting 10 million SHF out of poverty by 2023.

In winter, it is difficult to sit in a warm car, but also brave the wind and cold to run out and open the door manually, OMG, courtiers and concubines can not do ah, if the electronic garage door, whenever out, or go home, no doubt, sitting in the car, just press the button to open the garage, smoothly drive the car in or out, whine Hurry up! However, there are some maintenance schedules that should be performed, otherwise your electronic garage door will be easy to disobey.
Use gentle detergents and soft brushes to remove any corrosive chemicals or dirt from garage doors, thereby preventing them from corroding garage doors or from rusting or even twisting them.
After cleaning, you can also see clearly whether the springs or hinges need to be repaired. It is generally recommended to wash 3-4 times a year, which ensures that garage doors are always in a healthy state.
Electric garage doors have springs and chains to ensure that doors move up and down easily. In order to ensure its normal operation, it is recommended to use spray oil to lubricate key movement parts at least once a year at all springs, hinges, rollers and pivot points.
Once a year, garage doors should be thoroughly inspected and any loose screws, nuts or bolts tightened. This is very important for keeping the garage door moving correctly on the drum.
Use a non-corrosive cleaner to wipe the garage door track and carefully clean all exposed parts of the drum. Remove all excess moisture. Then a specially designed garage door lubricant or powdered graphite is used to keep the roller moving smoothly and effectively on the track.
When the metal door is long, it will inevitably rust and paint. When the wooden door is used for a long time, the surface will start to turn black and rough. It costs a lot of money to buy a new door, so how do you renovate it? The easiest way is to paint it again.
Choose a mild, sunny day to paint. Climate conditions may have a great impact on the quality of external coatings. Meanwhile, the garage door must be thoroughly cleaned before painting. After drying completely, you can begin to paint.
Choose the color you like best for most garage doors, such as white, beige or pearl light colors, because they do not fade in the sun. Primer is recommended before painting to ensure better results.

I’m not saying this as a pessimist.
I’m saying this because I think I just find out the right attitude to become better.
I realized one thing recently, that I complained a lot. Though I learn many things, I learn after complaining. Which usually takes energy, emotions, and a lot of time.
But, today after thinking about it for hours, I came to one realization.
“If my senior (the one who has more experiences and is wiser) was not complaining while he and I were in the same damned situation…. Then, I should not be complaining and learn why my senior does not complain”.
Simple. He is called senior because he has more experiences that made him think that situation is not damned at all. It’s a piece of cake for him. While it is a big piece of cake for me. I need to learn what makes the cake is just another piece for him. That way, I learn and I become better.
And. I’m not good enough, yet. Because I think I just ate quite a big cake.
But I do believe that it will become another piece of a cake later.

London & Paris, 29th August, 2006 - Bryan, Garnier & Co, a pan-European, independent investment bank focusing on European growth companies, announced today the closing of a EUR 3.8 million capital raising of Common Stock for Access Commerce. The company issued 2,328,188 shares at the price of EUR 1.65 per share corresponding to a EUR 3.8 million of capital increase. The offering was approved by the French AMF on July 19th, and by the board of management on August 11th.
Access Commerce is a leading listed software company specialising in developing components and advanced selling applications that enables users to automate the sale process regardless of the complexity of customer’s requirements, products, pricing or sales channel.

Having grown independently Access Commerce went public on the Paris Nouveau Marche in November 1999. Its customers are innovative and midsize firms as well as members of Fortune 1000 and it has opened offices in Europe and North America. Commenting on the announcement, Jacques Soumeillan, CEO of Access Commerce, stated: "We are especially satisfied with having accomplished this operation in an adverse capital market environment. This confirms the confidence of investors in our project and our strategic vision. The net proceeds will allow us to execute our development and carry out our strategy with adequate means”.
Access Commerce’s capital increase is one of only a few in the software industry on Euronext as the drastic downturn in capital markets deflected the attention of public investors from successful technology companies with limited market capitalization and liquidity.
The success of such transactions rely, in addition to the inherent qualities of the company itself, on the ability of the investment banker to combine a deep understanding of the software industry with strong capital market expertise.
This follow-on offering illustrates Bryan, Garnier & Co's unique positioning and ability to innovate and structure complex fund raisings. Bryan, Garnier & Co has succeeded in developing this know-how through a team that combines experienced investment bankers, former venture capitalists and successful entrepreneurs.
