On its website, DePuy Orthopaedics advises patients and doctors what to do about the recall of the two ASR systems:
- ASR™ XL Acetabular System
- ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System
The systems first became available in July 2003, so patients and doctors using hip implants before this date need not be concerned. If a patient had hip implant surgery after this date, it is important to determine if the implant was made by DePuy Orthopaedics. Many patients may not be aware of the manufacturer of their implant.
How Do I Know If I Have a DePuy ASR™ Hip Implant?
To find out who made your implant and which model was used, you need to call your doctor’s office or the hospital where you had your implant surgery. Your patient chart should have a record of what implant was used in your surgery.
If you had a DePuy ASR™ implant, it is important to make an appointment with your doctor to evaluate your situation. It's quite possible no treatment is needed. But, you may need further treatment, possibly revision surgery, if you have some of the following symptoms:
- Pain deep in the groin
- Pain upon walking
- Popping sounds while walking
- Difficulty rising to a standing position when seated
- The sensation that your hip is out of joint
You and your doctor will review your situation and decide on the best course of action, if any action is needed.

ELKHART — Elkhart County’s COVID-19 color code moved from red to orange Wednesday, but it was unclear whether there was real improvement from the previous week, and the change does not affect restrictions, officials said.
Meanwhile, 43 percent of all confirmed COVID-19 cases in Elkhart County were recorded in November. In the one month, Elkhart County saw 8,020 new confirmed cases, of its total 18,510 since March.
It has been more than two weeks since November became the month with the most COVID-19 deaths in Elkhart County, topping October’s 36. The Indiana State Department of Health reported three more COVID-19 deaths in Elkhart County on Wednesday, one of which happened in November; the number of COVID-19 deaths in that month alone was 91.
That means that 37 percent of the 245 COVID-19 deaths in Elkhart County happened in one month, even as the virus has been in the county for nine months.
Of Indiana’s four color codes, red signifies the worst outbreak level, while orange is slightly better. Elkhart County still has more than enough weekly cases per 100,000 residents to be considered red (the requirement is 200 or more; Elkhart County had 692 last week), but the county’s seven-day positive test rate for all tests, not individuals, had dropped to 14.6 percent at the time this week’s colors were assigned. For a county to be considered red, it must have a positive test rate of at least 15 percent.
Gov. Eric Holcomb’s recent executive order limiting gatherings does so based on a county’s color code, but a county must have been designated a less restrictive color for two consecutive weeks before restrictions are loosened, according to Elkhart County Health Officer Dr. Lydia Mertz.
That means gatherings in Elkhart County are still limited to 25 people, and IHSAA events are limited to participants, support personnel, and parents and guardians. If Elkhart County stays orange for another week, restrictions will be loosened to allow gatherings of up to 50 people and 25 percent capacity at IHSAA games.
Elkhart County’s seven-day positive test rate for all tests has dropped from the all-time high of 17.5 percent on Nov. 10 to 14.5 percent on Nov. 25, the most recent date with non-preliminary data for positivity rates, and the county number of new cases plateaued at about 300 per day in the week before Thanksgiving.
A significant drop in new confirmed cases since then – to about 200 per day – is a result of many testing sites being closed around the holiday and should not be taken to mean that the local outbreak is suddenly getting much weaker, according to Mertz. She said the number of tests per day dropped from between 1,800 to 2,000 on normal weekdays to about 300 per day around Thanksgiving.
According to Mertz, even the positive test rate was artificially lowered as a result of a high number of college students who were at low risk of being positive getting tested before leaving campus for the holiday.
“They kind of flooded us with negative tests,” Mertz said. “Goshen College was trying to test everybody before they left college, and I think their positivity rate was around 4 percent.”
That makes it difficult to know exactly what condition the Elkhart County outbreak is currently in, and the moved from red to orange may not reflect reality. Mertz said she hopes it will be clearer by the end of this week or early next week if the county has stabilized.
COVID-19 hospitalizations in the county remain high but are below the record levels seen in late November, when Goshen Hospital had 57 COVID-19 inpatients. The hospital now has 39 COVID-19 inpatients. Elkhart General, which had around 90 COVID-19 inpatients in the worst parts of November now has 81. Both hospitals are canceling elective procedures because of the high number of COVID-19 patients.
Yellow by Christmas?
Mertz believes that the plateau in new cases before Thanksgiving may be evidence that the recent restrictions from the governor, as well as the orders that she issued last month, are having an effect, and she is hopeful that the expected Thanksgiving surge will be muted.
“I would love for us to get out of orange, if that would be possible, and get into yellow before Christmas. And that may not be possible, but that would be the dream,” Mertz said.
The local restrictions will not be lifted or loosened simply because Elkhart County stays at the orange level for two consecutive weeks, if that happens. Mertz said she is looking for a sustained downward trend before she will lift the local mask mandate and restrictions for businesses.
Throughout the pandemic, Mertz has been aware that some have thought the government has overstepped its boundaries, but recently, she said, the attitude has changed, and she is hearing from more people who are thanking her for taking what they see as necessary steps to control the outbreak.
“I have received a lot of letters and emails from people who are really thankful and highly supportive. They recognize that the county was really in trouble,” Mertz said.

Shades of the Chicano Movement of old filled the streets of East Los Angeles on Aug. 29 for the 50th anniversary of a massive Vietnam War protest and the death of an influential journalist.
Sabino Ramirez, 73, of Montebello, said he was present at that protest Aug. 29, 1970.
“Back then Hispanics were on the front lines of the war,” Ramirez said. “There was a lot of racism when I was in the service. That’s why I left. We should not have been there in the first place.”
The first Chicano Moratorium is believed to have drawn up to 30,000 demonstrators marching against the Vietnam War, which saw a disproportionate amount of Latino deaths.
Ramirez said he was standing near the baseball field at what was then called Laguna Park, now called Ruben Salazar Park after the journalist who was killed that day, when he saw smoke coming from behind the tennis courts and people running. The smoke was coming from the tear gas canisters being shot at protesters by police.
Ruben Salazar reportedly retreated into the Silver Dollar Bar and Cafe on Whittier Boulevard when the demonstration turned violent. Then, reports say, deputies fired a missile-type gas canister into the bar, which struck Salazar in the head and instantly killed him.
Salazar, a foreign correspondent in Mexico and columnist for The Los Angeles Times, covered issues in the Chicano community, which raised suspicions that he was targeted by law enforcement.
“He was a voice for our people,” Corazon Salas, a Brown Berets spokesperson, said. “He was spreading a message and they saw him as a threat and killed him.”
Salas, 21, came in from Houston, Texas to honor fallen Chicano activists and soldiers. Brown Berets from across the country attended the moratorium, some coming from as far away as Chicago.
Marchers walked from Atlantic Park to Salazar Park just as their predecessors did in 1970. Speakers at Salazar Park took the opportunity to continue the current fight against police brutality in Black and Brown communities.
The family of Daniel Hernandez, a 38-year-old who was shot seven times by police April 22 in Los Angeles, said they witnessed his death when a family friend informed them the killing was live streamed on social media.
According to police, Hernandez approached officers with a boxcutter when they responded to a car crash he was involved in.
“They should have deescalated it,” Marina Vergara, Hernandez’s sister, said. “This should never have happened. No one should have to witness their brother’s murder.”
Hernandez was shot by officer Toni McBride, the daughter of Jamie McBride, an LAPD union director. Vergara questioned the legitimacy of any internal investigation into the matter, arguing McBride’s father’s influence will keep the officer from suffering any consequences.
Vergara also urged attendees to pressure the state legislature to enact police reform that would keep officers who have killed civilians from simply being hired by other departments.
An emotional Maria Hernandez, the victim’s mother, called for continued unity.
“Keep fighting for justice,” Maria said. “We will not fear. We will not kneel. This is our country too.”

That was indeed quick, wasn’t it? Just yesterday, Evan Blass came in with a report detailing the upcoming HTC U or rather HTC Ocean alongside the expected release date.
Even before a day is over, we have new benchmarks of the HTC U alongside some of the expected hardware specs and features. If Blass is to be believed, HTC will launch the U in mid-April. However, the phone will not be available for purchase until early May.
When details of the HTC U emerged, some of the phone’s specs and features were also mentioned. Apparently, these are the same specs that have been listed on AnTuTu, which basically add more weight to Blass’ leaks. The benchmarked HTC CPB has Android 7.1.1 Nougat running the show, just like the tipster pointed out.
Another thing that hasn’t changed about the HTC U is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC that is paired with an Adreno 540 GPU. These are then paired with a RAM of 4GB, just like other incoming Android flagships. Even the screen size is not highlighted, the phone will come with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. The report also confirms the camera sensors will have a 12MP unit on the back and a 16MP shooter on the front, but there are no further details about their specs.
To store your captured images, videos and other files, the HTC U will give you an impressive 64GB, but Blass mentioned that a 128GB variant could also be on the list. While there’s nothing really unique about these specs given that the entire Android smartphone flagship family is set to ship with the same combination, the HTC U will give you something else that is unique – the Edge Sense.
According to Blass, this is a metal frame that is responsive to different gestures including swiping and squeezing, among others. While Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ have the Edge screen, HTC U brings you the Edge Sense. This could easily be the most innovative phone in 2017, unless otherwise.


Stainless steel linear drains are a smart choice for your home and the environment. They last longer than other materials and can also help reduce water waste and lower energy costs due to their efficient design. They are easy to clean and maintain, making them a great option for long-term sustainability in your home. Additionally, stainless steel is 100% recyclable, so it will not contribute to landfill buildup even at the end of its life span.
What are Stainless Steel Linear Drains?
Stainless Steel linear drains are a great way to manage water and drainage in wet areas without compromising style. They have an elegant, contemporary look that can enhance the design of any bathroom or shower space. These drains are made from 100% stainless steel with a low-profile body and grates of various shapes and sizes to suit your specific needs. They’re highly durable, easy to install, and require minimal maintenance for long-term use.
Sustainability of Stainless Steel Linear Drains
First and foremost, stainless steel is an ideal material for drainage systems. Its durability, corrosion resistance, and high strength make it an excellent choice for areas prone to moisture and humidity. It’s also non-porous, so it doesn’t allow mould growth or mildew, keeping your home safe and clean. Because of its durability, stainless steel linear drains can last for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs, reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable future.
Secondly, stainless steel is a widely recyclable material. At the end of its life cycle, stainless steel linear drains can be recycled, reducing landfill waste. This means that when you choose stainless steel linear drains, you’re investing in your home and the environment. This significantly contributes to sustainability when combined with lower water usage from high-quality drains.
Thirdly, stainless steel drains require less maintenance than other materials, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and the negative environmental impact. Because of its non-porous nature, stainless steel is easy to clean, making it more hygienic and less prone to blockages. This means you can use less water cleaning and fewer harsh chemicals. This saves you money and helps create a healthier environment for you and your family.
Fourthly, stainless steel linear drains have a sleek and modern design, which can add value to your home. The contemporary design complements modern interiors, but its simple and timeless style means it can also fit into a traditional or eclectic home. This versatility means that you can add value to your home while also reducing waste.
Uses of Stainless Steel Linear Drains
Stainless steel linear drains are widely used in commercial and residential applications for their versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal. In indoor and outdoor locations, they can effectively channel water away from buildings or landscapes. Linear drain systems can be installed in showers, patios, driveways/walkways, around pools/hot tubs, laundry rooms/kitchens/bathrooms, among many other places where water needs to be managed. They are also resistant to corrosion and bacteria buildup even under high-pressure washing or heavy usage due to the high-quality stainless steel material used in manufacturing. With minimal up-front cost and maintenance needed over its lifetime – this is why so many people opt for installing stainless steel linear drains!
In conclusion, choosing stainless steel linear drains for your home is not only a smart choice but also a sustainable one. Its durability, recyclability, low maintenance, and sleek design make it the ideal choice for your home. Investing in stainless steel linear drains means choosing the future and contributing to a more sustainable planet.

Please take a few moments as St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance President and CEO Terry Shannon weighs in on the recent shocking proposal from the U.S. House of Representatives to cut food assistance for our nation’s hungry by more than $33 billion. This Op Ed appeared in both the Arizona Republic and USA Today this past weekend:
Proudly serving the citizens of metropolitan Phoenix and Arizona since 1947, the Phoenix Symphony endures as a cultural treasure in its 63rd year. And the state’s only full-time professional orchestra will again conduct a food drive to benefit another Arizona institution – St. Mary’s Food Bank – during its March 26-28 performances of “Star Wars Mania” at Symphony Hall.
U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell will donate his $8,500 Congressional pay raise to 15 local charities, including St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.
Donating the ‘gumball money’ – as we’d come to call it – to the food bank made good sense. Certainly, the machine’s become an example that every little bit not only counts… but adds up.”

Commercialization Of Sorghum Farming
The Ndagaywa Farmers Group in Siaya have partnered with the USAID’s Kenya Agricultural Value Chain Enterprises Project (Kaves) in an attempt to link small-scale sorghum farmers to a guaranteed market. The group that has more than 2oo members has sorghum collection centers where farmers deliver their sorghum for weighing and transportation to NCPD stores in Kisumu.
Through Kaves, farmers in the region were linked to Transu, a private company which buys sorghum in bulk. Transu partners with a financial institution which offers soft loans to farmers and insurance companies which cover the crop, thus minimising risks.
The farmers are also trained on good agricultural practices, and the benefits of working as groups. Transu is currently working with over 10,000 workers in Nyanza. However, this number is set to increase as more become aware of the benefits of crop diversification, contract farming and working in small groups.
Kaves identified a challenge in the linkage of smallholder farmers to the market, and connected them to aggregators who had contacts with buyers.
In a bid to bridge the gap, Kaves has been working with small and medium size enterprises, which aggregate produce such as sorghum and market it on behalf of smallholder producers.

This is a review of a split release by two German black metal bands — Unru and Sun Worship — that will be issued on 12″ vinyl on December 10, 2013, by An Out Recordings and Sick Man Getting Sick Records. Each band contributes a single song, one per side. Both songs are now streaming on Bandcamp and both are available as immediate downloads with pre-orders of the record. And both are really good.
Unru’s first release, Demo MMXIII, came out this past January. It was an 11-track affair in which none of the songs reached four minutes and more than half were less than two. By contrast, Unru’s contribution to this split, “Von der Flüchtigkeit des Todes”, is nearly 10 minutes in length. For most of that time, it’s a storming cascade of distorted tremolo-picked guitars and blasting drumbeats through which a grim melody rises and falls like heaving waves. The seething intensity of the music is enhanced by acidic, reverberating shrieks.
The storm breaks in places, making way for pounding riffs and ringing guitars, as well as passages of chilling, eerie ambience with ominous spoken words. At the finish, the guitars fade, and the final sounds are those of distant, agonizing cries and the martial thumping of the drums. The music seizes the listener in its clawed grip, and even after 10 minutes you wonder where the time went.
Prior to this split, Sun Worship released a demo, another split, and an EP since 2011 (all of which are on Bandcamp). Sun Worship’s new track is named “Remembrance”, and it’s also a long one, slightly exceeding 12 minutes. Like Unru’s contribution, “Remembrance” includes its fair share of frenzied drum blasts, waves of shrill tremolo chords, and caustic shrieks. But the song is also suffused with an ambience of aching loss. The music moves through a series of repeating musical motifs, the high-pitched tremolo drilling balanced by deep grinding chords, the blasting drums replaced by slow rhythmic pounding and attention-grabbing progressions. Multiple dual guitar harmonies give the song added depth and emotional resonance.
As a whole, “Remembrance” is a powerfully dramatic work that fully justifies its extended length. It draws the listener into a bleak world, one suffused with an atmosphere of despondence, yet still intensely gripping.
People who aren’t vinyl collectors will think twice about paying the price of the record in order to obtain the digital tracks — especially because there doesn’t seem to be a way to get both songs as downloads with a single LP purchase: You can buy the vinyl from either of the bands’ Bandcamp pages, but you only get a download of that band’s song with the purchase (although both tracks are streaming on the Sick Man Getting Sick page, there’s no digital purchase option there). UPDATE: Both songs can now be downloaded with a vinyl order from Sun Worship’s Bandcamp page, and it appears both tracks can also be downloaded without the vinyl purchase now (see the comments below).
Nevertheless, in my case thinking twice was all it took — I gave them my money, even though I had to pick between the two songs for download. They’re that good. Check out the music below.
they’re both excellent songs, i’m going to have a hard time picking which one to get as my download. i’m kind of leaning towards Unru
Both the Unru and Sun Worship songs are included in the download now. If ordering from the Sun Worship page, we recommend that you edit the naming of the Unru song after downloading, and vice versa. Thanks, and all the best – Sun Worship
That’s great — thank you very much. I’ve now changed the review to provide this update.
Wow, both bands rule! I have zero interest in vinyl, or physical media in general, but I’ll definitely buy this split digitally if it’s available at some point.
Thankfully I can tide myself over with their earlier releases in the meantime. Unru gets extra points for having tracks called “Ich bin der Hexenmeister” and “Geh in einen See bei Nacht” (i.e. go in a lake by night). Probably not meant to be charming, but the German language has a way of making the sinister sublime.
Sun Worship have now made their track available for download at Bandcamp (name your price) without having to buy the vinyl.
Excellent news! And even better, Unru’s track is also available now!
Hmmm . . . I just checked and it looks like the Bandcamp settings have changed so that a vinyl order is now necessary to get the tracks, though both song downloads now come with the purchase.
It’s a little confusing, but if you click the song titles, you’ll have the option of Name Your Price digital purchases. You have to do that for both tracks.
Thanks for bird-dogging this.
I live in Berlin. Earlier this year I saw Sun Worship open for Fell Voices & Ash Borer. And they were fantastic. That is all.
I’m completely enthralled by this new Sun Worship song, and completely envious that you got to see them live — especially with those other two bands. 🙂
It was a great triple bill—but Fell Voices just killed it. They must be seen live if they’re in your vicinity. FV was easily the best thing I saw this year, and totally unexpected at that. Their drummer is just an insane hypnotic beastman.

Spalding Nix Gallery
ADAC, Suite 419, 351 Peachtree Hills Avenue
Atlanta native Spalding Nix has a long history in the Atlanta art world – interning at the Heath Gallery, working at Jackson Fine Art, and opening his eponymous gallery in 2003. The gallery highlights the best in Contemporary Art from abstract artists like Katherine Sandoz and Spencer Sloan to more traditional realists like Richard Thomas Scott and Heather Lancaster. ARTS ATL’s Jerry Cullum described the gallery as a “mix of the elegantly conservative and the transgressively adventurous.”
WOMEN IN ART HISTORY: Overcoming Conditions & Customs
That centuries of women artists have created professional, provocative, and appealing
work is no longer a well-kept secret. Nonetheless, there are still many discoveries to be
made, as Spalding Nix chronicles nearly ten centuries of women artists, from the
embroiderers of the Bayeaux Tapestry to the Guerrilla Girls.
In the gallery we will just have cheese and wine, so plan accordingly. RSVP email@example.com

‘I would have been born anyway’ is a personal queeste to the history and very harmful side effects of DES, a hormone prescribed to women to prevent miscarriages. It’s my own story, it’s my moms story, my friends, and millions of other women around the world.
For more then 3 decades - from the mid 40’s till the late 70’s- millions of women world wide were prescribed the hormone DES to prevent miscarriages. Although the pharmaceutical world knew from the start DES didn’t work. At all. All the babies born out of these pregnancies would have been born anyway. The medicine did however have very bad side effects, varying from fertility problems, involuntary childlessness, a rare form of vaginal cancer for the DES daughters to a higher risk of breast cancer for DES mothers. Ongoing research suggest a higher risk of breast cancer with DES daughters and show harmful side effects for DES grandchildren.
I am one of those millions of DES daughters and my mom is one of all those moms who died of breast cancer.
The pictures I submitted are just a part of the whole project. Via this link you can see the dummy http://bit.ly/storyofDES You’ll see that the dummy consist not only of visuals but also of other ‘parts’, like a kind of leporello. Although my submission is a dummy, the series can of course be made into an exhibition.
The series is a mixture of my own private photos, visuals of hospital rooms and medical research, portraits of DES women, archival material like text, newspaper snippets and campaign ads. By mixing all this personal material with a kind of distant medical material I want to make a story that is compelling and shows my anger and my grief.
I made this series because the DES history may not be forgotten. Not only because of the DES women and the harm that has been knowingly and willingly done to them. But also because nowadays pharmaceutical industry seems to have learned nothing from this DES case - when it comes to treatments of fertility problems, menopausal treatments, the opiodecrisis - and anything in between.

One of the latest inventions for the improvement of military science, the "Little Wonder" juggernaut approaches the limits of compactness for a steam-powered vehicle. A single person fires the gun and controls the 28 horsepower forced-draught semi-condensing steam engine. A gatling gun, with 400 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition, is fitted in a traversing ball-mount on the superstructure. The hull is composed of armor steel two inches thick in the front.
Cargo in the amount of five tons can be pulled on sledges or carts, behind the "Little Wonder". This will however reduce the top speed from 4 miles per hour to 2 miles per hour. The boiler can be easily adjusted to operate on any light liquid fuel, such as alcohol, paraffin, kerosene, etc.; the fifty-five gallon water tank, and fifty-five gallon fuel tank are sufficient to feed the "Little Wonder" for up to one hundred miles of travel! Only a minimum of care is needed to maintain the two-cylinder engine; the engine also operates a powerful pump capable of filling the water tank in few minutes.
Parties of explorers can easily perceive the utility of the "Little Wonder"! No more hordes of fractious, infectious Askaris or Mongols to be paid, instructed, healed or goaded! Similarly, the officers of many Navies and Armies already know that the "Little Wonder" can do the destructive work of a hundred men! Do not delay -- purchase the "Little Wonder" today!

A TTO, or Triple Tibial Osteotomy, combines different aspects of the TPLO and TTA. Similar to the TPLO and TTA, the TTO involves cutting the tibial bone to change the angle of the knee joint. The TTO is not commonly performed in the US at this time.
During a TTO, a veterinary surgeon makes three cuts into the dog’s tibia. These cuts allow the surgeon to rotate the tibial plateau (as in TPLO), while moving the tibial tuberosity forward slightly (as in TTA). A metal plate is then screwed into place onto the bone to hold the new joint angle. These cuts and bone angle changes result in a 90 degree angle within the knee joint when the dog’s leg is extended.
Read More: What is a TTO Surgery?
You will have a visit with your vet a few days following the procedure. Odds are your dog may already be toe touching within 48-72 following surgery. At 1-2 weeks your dog should start using the leg more, and full healing of the bone should take place at about 6 weeks.
Of course, physical therapy and rehabilitation should be integrated slowly to be most effective and not place undue strain on the recovering joint.
Read More: TTO Surgery Recovery
According to Dog Knee Injury Community Contributors, the cost for TTO surgery is in the $3000-5000 range.
The cost for TTO can vary depending on:
Size of Your Dog – Smaller dogs require less; many of the medications, supplies and even the metal used to hold the joint together are calculated based on weight
Geographic Location – Veterinary hospitals and clinics within major cities tend to be more expensive than smaller veterinary offices
Type of Veterinary Facility – Veterinary universities and smaller clinics typically charge less than orthopedic specialty clinics
What is Included – Are you paying ONLY for the surgery, or are post-operative x-rays, visits and medications included?

WHETHER FITSNEWS’ “CONFLICTED” FOUNDING EDITOR THINKS SO OR NOT …
|| By TAYLOR BROWN | Today, Governor Nikki Haley signed into law Senate Bill No. 3 (the criminal domestic violence bill). I couldn’t be more proud of the General Assembly – especially lawmakers like Katrina Shealy who made domestic violence a priority.
I wrote, back when S. 3 was still in the Senate, that “This is a bill that transcends politics – a straight-forward, comprehensive measure that will save lives.” I still stand by this statement. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll have noticed I had a tendency to go on rants about the lack of action and the political posturing of our lawmakers on this issue. I wrote “stand with the women of South Carolina, or stand over their graves.”
This style of law has been extremely successful when implemented in other states. They’ve seen shooting deaths at the hands of an intimate partner drop considerably. This law will save women’s lives. It’s simple. It’s straightforward. It’s literally lifesaving.
This website’s founding editor Will Folks has a different opinion on this than me. He takes issue with the firearm aspect of this law …
Curiously, the most contentious issue attending the CDV debate this year was the right of convicted offenders to possess firearms – which is a totally superfluous issue seeing as federal law already bans firearm possession by any CDV offender (a ban we view as unconstitutional).
Folks received a flurry of enraged messages from me regarding this passage. How, in God’s name, can one possibly justify allowing wife-beaters and abusers to keep their weapons? When the risk of being killed by an intimate partner goes up five hundred percent when a gun is present, how can you claim that this measure is unconstitutional? In South Carolina, women are twice as likely to be shot and killed by their intimate partner than the average American woman, and somehow, Folks wants to give more rights to a violent offender than to the victim? Perhaps it is because Folks has been convicted of CDV that he sees this firearms ban as unconstitutional.
However, skin in the game or otherwise, this law is the right thing to do for our State – not to mention completely constitutional.
Folks has always been pro-life. He has written before that …
… we believe life begins at conception – and that taking life (at any state of development) is the most egregious, irreversible violation of the most sacred, fundamental liberty we have. This is why we’ve consistently opposed “abortion on demand.”
So when that baby girl grows up and is beaten then shot by her intimate partner, is it not as “egregious?” Shouldn’t we do everything in our power to stop her senseless murder? I say yes – and so do our lawmakers.
Why should we allow someone who is an abuser to keep their firearms? Why give them the means and ability to easily end the life of their intimate partner? Moreover, if we allow an abuser to keep their firearm, why don’t we allow other violent offenders to do the same? Why don’t we allow rapists and murders to keep their weapons? Is removing their right to bear arms unconstitutional? Or is it just when a wife-beater has his firearms removed that it’s unconstitutional?
In the end, our state government did a beautiful thing for the men and women of South Carolina – they’re putting lives above politics. Every single vote to pass this extremely important bill is a vote for life – Governor Haley signed into law fewer murders at the hands of an intimate partner. Our Government stands with their constituents’ right to life – whether Will Folks does or not.

Non-linear flow modes of identified particles in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
S. Acharya , Daniel Dąbrowski , Kamil Deja , Łukasz Graczykowski , Monika Jakubowska , Małgorzata Janik , Adam Kisiel , Julian Myrcha , Łukasz Neumann , Piotr Nowakowski , Janusz Oleniacz , Jan Pluta , Przemysław Rokita , Krystian Rosłon , Tomasz Trzciński , Barbara Trzeciak , Hanna Zbroszczyk
AbstractThe pT-differential non-linear flow modes, v4,22, v5,32, v6,33 and v6,222 for π±, K±, KS0 , p + p ¯ , Λ + Λ ¯ and ϕ-meson have been measured for the first time at sNN = 5.02 TeV in Pb-Pb collisions with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results were obtained with a multi-particle technique, correlating the identified hadrons with reference charged particles from a different pseudorapidity region. These non-linear observables probe the contribution from the second and third order initial spatial anisotropy coefficients to higher flow harmonics. All the characteristic features observed in previous pT-differential anisotropic flow measurements for various particle species are also present in the non-linear flow modes, i.e. increase of magnitude with increasing centrality percentile, mass ordering at low pT and particle type grouping in the intermediate pT range. Hydrodynamical calculations (iEBE-VISHNU) that use different initial conditions and values of shear and bulk viscosity to entropy density ratios are confronted with the data at low transverse momenta. These calculations exhibit a better agreement with the anisotropic flow coefficients than the non-linear flow modes. These observations indicate that non-linear flow modes can provide additional discriminatory power in the study of initial conditions as well as new stringent constraints to hydrodynamical calculations.

There’s something about braids for a wedding hairstyle. This is the day you intertwine your life with someone else’s, the day the two of you tie the knot.
Natalya Chepura, a freelance hair and make-up artist serving North and Central New Jersey, has constructed some of the most elaborate braided styles we’ve ever laid eyes on. See for yourself.
The wrapped braids add interest to this classic up do.
We love the flowers pinned into the curlicues.
Waterfall braids are a hot trend right now. The soft, undone attitude here is delightful.
This style is combining at least three different braiding techniques—so impressive.
French braids, a side bun, and roses.

Organic Semiconductor Spherulites on Front Cover of JACS
In single crystals of organic semiconductors, charge carrier mobility can depend strongly on the crystal orientation, since mobility is typically much higher along the pi-stacking direction. But usually, the active layer in organic transistors consists not of a single crystal, but of a polycrystalline aggregate. CBE graduate student Stephanie Lee, working with Professor Yueh-Lin Loo and collaborators from the University of Kentucky, has studied large two-dimensional spherulites—radially-symmetric polycrystalline structures—of the organic semiconductor TES-ADT, and found that the mobilities of transistors are surprisingly independent of the general pi-stacking direction, due to the low-angle grain boundaries that are ubiquitous in spherulites. The March 28 issue of Journal of the American Chemical Society includes a Communication describing this work, and the issue’s front cover features a striking image of multiple transistors spanning a single spherulite.

It feels impossible to put into words the uniqueness of Galápagos, but to not try will do this place a disservice. Also, we wanted to add more images to this post, but WordPress is being weird, so it’s just text! Apologies there.
Arriving in Baltra Airport was inconsequential – the airport was small, with only one other plane at the terminal. However, our unique Galápagos experience started at baggage reclaim. We got ushered towards the corner of the only terminal and were told to wait; our bags were visible but we weren’t allowed to collect them until three dogs (a drug-sniffer dog; a food-sniffer dog; and an animal-sniffer dog) clambered over every bag that was taken out of the baggage hold. Two of the three dogs did their job well, however it seemed like they were training a new food-sniffer dog, which was misbehaving, much to our enjoyment and the polices’ annoyance.
After sharing a taxi with some pretty quiet German girls, our first stop was Puerto Ayora, the main town in the archipelago; only four of sixteen islands are inhabited, with Santa Cruz island being the most populated at 25000, and Puerto Ayora being its hub. The vibe in the town was awesome – which was something we appreciated throughout our stay there. We dumped our bags, headed out for a cerveza and ended up at a bar watching Barcelona SC play Delfins; apparently Guayaquil, Ecuador also has an almost identical-looking team to FC Barcelona called Barcelona SC. The local supporters’ group were banging drums, singing songs and involving the entire bar in their celebrations for 90 minutes, which was fun, especially as their talisman scored an absolute screamer on 83 minutes. Game over: 2-2.
The next few days involved a few different naturalist experiences. Hiking to Tortuga Bay, seeing marine iguanas for the first time, and getting a bit pink – thanks, English Rose skin. Although, in our ignorance we didn’t bring any water, so by the end of our walk it was a case of “water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink”.
On Monday we went with Academy Bay Diving (highly-recommended) on a boat to Floreana for a dive and snorkel with a really good group of people from US, Australia, Holland and Brazil. Daisy did her first of few scuba dives, and with her ridiculous vision, managed to point out two Red-lipped Batfish, the prehistoric frog-bat-fish that was aptly named Angelina Jolie by the dive team! The find was so rare, and so good, that she even got a fist-bump from the dive master at 22 metres. I stayed closer to the surface and snorkelled with sea turtles, sharks and a fleet of Storm Petrels, which was a highlight of the trip so far; being so remote in the open Pacific ocean, surrounded by sea birds feeding was a breathtaking moment where I vocalised my enjoyment with a “holy shit”, although with a snorkel in my mouth it sounded more like “hurrrgly chheettsh”. On the boat we met a really nice couple from San Francisco, who we may hopefully bump into while we travel Peru. Cocktails were drank and contact details were shared.
Our Instagram has a few different photos from the rest of our stay on Puerto Ayora. We went to Las Greitas and swam between volcanic rocks, spotted Parrot Fish in the cracks and sat by the beach on the way back to the town, getting flanked by endemic ducks, Frigate birds and these little sea waders. And finches. Finches everywhere. These little dudes are ballsy, to the point of taking pecks out of our sandwiches while they were in our hands. Perhaps they are the sparrow-shaped seagulls of the Galapagos.
The journey to Puerto Villamil, the third-biggest town in Galapagos at 2800 population, on the biggest island, Isabela, was fairly uneventful. We were sat at the back of a full boat, which crossed westwards on really choppy waters for 2 hours; one of our fellow passengers suffered with sea sickness for the entire ride. She went through 8 bags.
The town of Puerto Villamil has a seaside vibe, where everyone knows everyone. We did three tours on the island – Volcan Sierra Negra; Las Tintoreras; and Los Tuneles. Our first two guides were absolutely amazing; Nuria taught us about the history of the flora and fauna of Volcan Sierra Negra, and even more enjoyably we got a geology lesson about volcanoes: a win! And Sebastian, what a character. He took his “beautiful travellers” around Las Tintoreras, where we were treated to some wonderful sights, including sea lions playing with sharks, countless sea turtles bobbing up for air, and marine iguana nurseries: watch your step! We also attempted snorkelling, or should I say Daisy did – I shivered my way out of the bay because I was turning blue; I need “mas grasa” on me. Lost Tuneles was a stunning, geological marvel, where we saw Blue-footed Boobies courting and swam with White-tipped Reef sharks, a fleet of Golden Rays and, again, countless turles. Our guide though, the less said about Javier the better. If “a person who has fallen out of love with their job” was in the dictionary, it would come with a picture of that miserable man.
Today is Sunday and we are going on an island-hopping cruise – Lancha Eden. We may see Waved Albatross – which we have already seen hunting fish on the open ocean the boat back to Puerto Ayora yesterday afternoon – and Galapagos Penguins, which would be a dream but very unlikely because 1. there are only about 500 of them left and 2. yesterday we left the island on which the penguins are, supposedly, hiding.
We are only on week 1 of 3, but being here has already had a lasting impact.
Until next time.

How to Treat Neuroma
A Morton's neuroma is a benign (noncancerous) tumor that results from the thickening of the sheath, or covering, of a nerve. This condition often occurs in the feet, and the thickening is thought to result from extreme and persistent irritation or a biomechanical abnormality of the foot. Below are some suggestions for how to treat neuroma and make the condition less painful.
Most neuromas develop between the third and fourth toes when nerves in that area are repeatedly pinched by toe joints and/or by shoes that do not fit properly. A neuroma is painful, creating a burning sensation and sometimes numbness in the surrounding toes. To treat these symptoms:
- Soak the foot in lukewarm water once a day.
- Choose shoes that have a wider toe box to relieve pressure on the neuroma.
- Pad the area inside your shoes that corresponds to the site of the neuroma.
A doctor may be able to relieve neuroma pain for a short period of time by injecting cortisone into the area of the neuroma. Most neuromas, however, must eventually be surgically excised. Otherwise, continued nerve pressure can cause greater and more frequent episodes of pain and numbness.
Although foot problems like neuromas are hereditary, others are quite avoidable. Continue to the next page for tips on preventing ingrown toenails, another painful foot condition.

This morning my roommate Gina and I walked in the 26th Annual AIDS WALK Los Angeles. It was a short 10k which is nothing at all compared to the 60 miles I walked just three short weeks ago for breast cancer. Yet, it was still nonetheless for an amazing and important cause.
The following is a short article about the walk from KTLA:
"Thousands toughed it through the streets of West Hollywood in the rain Sunday morning all to be a part of the 26th Annual AIDS Walk.
The 6.2 mile walk kicked off at 10:00 a.m. Sunday in West Hollywood Park where an estimated 30,000 supporters, including several celebrities and politicians, gathered to raise money.
About 60,000 people in Los Angeles are affected by HIV and AIDS, and more than 33 million suffer from the pandemic worldwide.
This year's AIDS Walk comes just days after the announcement of a $52 million budget cut to California's HIV/AIDS care and prevention programs.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spoke at the event, reminding participants to keep up hope despite the lack of public funding dedicated to the cause.
"When I was in the leg in 1995 we were leading the country in AIDS programs," Villaraigosa said, "It is demoralizing but that's why we walk today."
The walk is expected to bring in $3 million to help low-income Angelenos living with HIV and AIDS.
In the walk's 26 years, it has established itself as one of the biggest fundraisers for AIDS in the nation, bringing in a total of $66 million."
The only negative aspect of the walk were the awful few people rioting the event. It really infuriates and tears me a part inside that there are still people in today's world that still do not accept homosexuality. I mean, WTF, it's 2010!! I just do not understand people that cannot accept love in all it's forms. Plus, this walk was about saving lives. Thankfully, there weren't many of these ignorant people on the course and no violence came of it. Actually, all the walkers did as they passed by these groups was flip them off. So at one point, all Gina and I could see was a sea of F-U's in the air. Quite the perfect response if you ask me. : )
All in all, it was a wonderful event and I am so proud of Gina and I for getting up this cold and wet morning and being a part of such a great event.

As skin resurfacing treatments go, microneedling is relatively new, and many people naturally have many questions regarding the matter. For one thing, how does poking your skin with needles make it look better? If you’re reading this, then you are probably wondering about the same thing.
In this post, we go over some common questions that people have about microneedling and the answers behind them. Such answers ought to prove useful in making your decision on whether or not microneedling is the right skin resurfacing treatment for you.
How is microneedling good for your skin?
Skin needling produces minuscule injuries on the surface of the skin that are so small that the naked eye can’t see it. Nevertheless, these micro-injuries are enough to trigger an increase in collagen — a substance that links skin tissues together during the cellular repair. As a result, scarred and wrinkled skin tissues are gradually replaced with new ones through a technique called collagen induction therapy.
How soon can you expect results?
One thing that people must understand before they buy Dermapen 4 or any other skin needling treatment is that it can take some time for results to show depending on the severity of the skin problem and the frequency of the treatment. Most people see a noticeable improvement after the third and fourth treatment.
How much downtime does microneedling require?
One of the best things about microneedling is that it hardly requires any downtime. People can get the treatment late afternoon and get back to work the next day. This is because skin needling inflicts minimal damage to skin tissues with no long-term adverse effects.
What microneedling can and cannot do?
Even the best microneedling pen isn’t the answer to all skin problems. Hence, people should obtain a good understanding of what it takes to resolve the imperfections on their skin and whether or not microneedling offers a suitable answer.
One thing to keep in mind is that microneedling is most effective for skin problems that are limited to the epidermis (the uppermost surface of the skin). Anything beyond that is likely not a good candidate for skin needling.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Microneedling is generally safe for as long as it is performed by skin doctors using the proper equipment may it be microneedling pens or dermal rollers.
When you compare skin needling with other forms of skin resurfacing treatments such as dermabrasions and chemical peels, skin needling has fewer risks and inflicts the least damage to the skin. Microneedling is also a safer alternative for people who have sensitive skin and looking for an all natural and holistic alternative to traditional skin resurfacing treatments.
So there you have it — answers to some frequently asked questions about microneedling! As you’ve surely realised, microneedling offers a safer and all natural approach to skin rejuvenation. Whether you want to eliminate minor imperfections on your skin or retain its’ youthful and vibrant appearance, you will find that skin needling offers all that and so much more. If you’ve been looking for a cost-effective and all natural approach for mitigating the effects of skin ageing, then microneedling may be the answer to your problem.

There is “lots of work to do breaking down barriers” over the safety of Covid jabs, the leader of the council with the lowest rates of vaccine take-up in Lincolnshire has said.
Speaking to Lincolnshire Live, Paul Skinner, leader of Boston Borough Council and head of the Conservative Group, said that some communities are “harder to reach” than others within the town, where a smaller proportion of people have had one jab than other areas’ rates for both.
Cllr Skinner said that the council is working hard to bridge the gaps between the services delivering vaccines and sections of the community in Boston which remain sceptical about their safety.
He said: “We do have quite a cosmopolitan community and obviously if you look at Facebook it has not helped with people spreading rumour rather than fact. That’s contributing to it. Some of the scare stories out in the press haven’t helped.
“We’ve got quite a lot of different sectors to our community. Obviously people have fears about something that’s new.
“We have a community leadership programme that’s getting the message out on lots of things. That’s going quite well. It’s just getting over those individual fears.”
The council leader pointed to a number of initiatives that have been put in place by the council and local healthcare providers, including an online Q&A session in March with deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam, who grew up in Boston.
Despite efforts by the council and the local Clinical Commission Group (CCG), only 52.22% of adults in Boston have received both doses of the vaccine since the first rollout in December last year. The only place in the county with a lower figure is Lincoln.
This contrasts with the rate of take-up in Lincolnshire as a whole, which outperforms the national figures, with 64.7% of the population now having received both doses.
Cllr Skinner said that many of the fears among Boston’s large migrant Eastern European population stem from historical mistrust of authoritarian governments and healthcare services, going back decades.
He said: “There’s lots of work to do breaking down barriers. We run sessions trying to understand how the individual communities view this. You learn a lot which is really important.
“It goes back to the situation where they’ve lived before. Certain different parts of Europe don’t really like authorities and there’s a mistrust of the police.
“You have to try to get the message out and that’s what we’ve been doing.”

The Spike Bar: Jose Maria Olazabal is worth waiting for
Our Golf Correspondent says the Spaniard could make a great Ryder Cup captain if he can overcome health problems
If anything good came out of Europe’s Ryder Cup mauling at the hands of the United States in Kentucky last September, it was the ringing endorsement from the players of Jose Maria Olazabal, Nick Faldo’s one and only vice-captain.
There is talk that on the Saturday evening before the singles, the Spaniard gave such a rousing, passionate speech at Valhalla that some players were moved to tears. And while it did not move them to the victory that had been almost expected before the match began, it at least helped to focus the minds of a team that seemed from the outside to be on a different wavelength to the captain.
And it is just such an understanding of the players, and what makes them

An Online Artist's Coop for Artists who Paint on Location
This kept calling to me as I got ready for a day of painting - hint never pass a sean up that keeps calling you
Glad you did it it's wonderful!
yes I feel it was the best of the weekend
This is a winner. great subject, composition,focal point... and color usage
it is funny how different artists see things differently - this was my pick for the weekend and that of a couple of other artist but I had one and I do like his work did not like it and what bothered him was what I though it was the pole in the middle of the bus and for me and the other artists at the time that is really what made the painting but again the pole was there so I only painted what was in front of me at the time - I did remove the 2 signs that were on the pole that was a little to much
Lawrence, please add this to the NightScapes group page.
great painting and congratulation MOAB achievement. I,m o ready missing UT colors. Maybe see you next yr.
yes hope to be able to make that one again it was fun and had a great time. It is always great to meet new artists and see their work let alone the hardships of learning to paint in a different area of the country. I will be around a few new places this next year so hope to meet up with you and a few of the others even before Moab.

Walz Powers Repeal Gets Senate Bipartisan Vote
How did your Senator vote?
House Republicans have been offering the same excuse for why they cannot repeal Walz’ emergency powers. They blame a small handful of moderate DFLers in the House, and appear to have all but given up on meaningful action.
Meanwhile, the Senate just held an overwhelming bipartisan vote to repeal Walz’ emergency powers. On Thursday, the Senate passed the resolution to repeal Walz’ tyrannical powers by 38-29. Liberal Senators Tom Bakk (SD3), Kent Eken (SD4), David Tomassoni (SD6) and John Hoffman (SD36) all voted with Republicans.
What’s going on in the Minnesota House? Why are DFLers from swing districts like Rep Julie Sandstede (HD6A) and Rep Dave Lislegard (HD6B) protecting Walz? At this point, they are looking to remain in good favor with their party, rather than answering to the voters of their respective districts.
A whole state full of business owners, church goers, students, and “non-essential” workers are looking to the Minnesota House for answers. If Governor Walz can get away with restricting your rights by executive order, there is nothing that he cannot get away with.
Your elected leaders must send a message to Governor Walz and anyone who may come after him, that this kind of tyrannical action is not acceptable in a free country. Will you help send the message?
Sign on to the North Star Liberty Alliance’s Impeachment Petition and tell your legislators that Tyrant Tim Walz has to go.


Our Lebanese media site is more than just a news source, it’s a lifestyle magazine that offers a wide range of content for readers to enjoy. From current events to entertainment, we have it all.
After breaking the record and reaching 10,000 LBP against the dollar, the Lebanese Lira is now trading for an even higher rate on the black market.
On Saturday afternoon, the Lira was trading at 10,425 LBP with black market traders selling the dollar for 10,450 LBP buying it for 10,400 LBP.
The Lira value rose very slightly and remained stable against the dollar for the week after reaching 10,000 LBP only to begin dropping continuously since Friday.
It has been over a year since the local currency began dropping in value against the dollar rendering wages practically worthless while simultaneously cause prices of goods to skyrocket.
With no solution in sight, the worsening financial situation has sparked intense protests across the country with people closing roads of different cities.
Only president Michel Aoun and the Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri hold the cure for the country’s ailing deteriorating economic and social situation.

Last weekend’s episode of SNL hosted by Elon Musk saw the show enjoy a sharp ratings jump.
Deadline reports that the telecast from last Saturday (May 8) drew a 4.7 household Live+Same Day rating in the 44 metered local markets, and a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating in the 25 markets with local people meters.
Musk’s episode falls just below the ones hosted by comedians Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle in terms of ratings. Chappelle’s episode drew a 5.7 rating while Rock’s saw a 5.4 rating.
During his SNL opening speech, Elon Musk revealed that he has been diagnosed with Asperger’s.
“I’m actually…the first person with Asperger’s to host SNL – or at least the first to admit it,” Musk said, despite former SNL cast member Dan Aykroyd hosting the show in 2003 while admitting to having mild Asperger’s.
“So I won’t make a lot of eye contact with the cast tonight. But don’t worry, I’m pretty good at running ‘human’ in emulation mode.”
Elsewhere, Musk presented his vision for the future, saying: “I believe in a renewable energy future. I believe that humanity must become a multiplanetary, space-bearing civilisation. Those seem like exciting goals, don’t they?
“Now, I think if I just posted that on Twitter, I’d be fine. But I also write things like, ’69 days after 4/20 again haha.’”
According to Page Six, SNL boss Lorne Michaels allowed cast members who are uncomfortable with Musk’s booking as host to sit out their usual duties of appearing alongside the episode’s host in sketches, though none appeared to back out of the show as a result.

No boss is perfect, no human is either. We all have our weaknesses and strengths, trying to capitalize on an individual weakness is as bad as blackmailing the individual. But then there are some bosses who make you believe they are “hell-sent” to frustrate your life and suck every atom of courtesy you have left. Ever had a boss who you always felt like punching in the face to send home your thoughts? Well before you do, there may be some steps to avoid the immediate sack and probable legal action you would be facing if you throw that punch.
WHO IS A BULLY BOSS
Occasional aggressive behavior is not always a bad trait for any leader, it is actually helpful if expressed in a constructive manner. On the other hand, if your boss resorts to verbally abusing or humiliating you, purposely discrediting all your jobs and just seem to make your life a misery, you should know you are on to a bully. Dealing with bullies can be an uphill task but if you know the rudiments, you will not only be able to work under your boss but you may also win him over.
HOW DO I DEAL WITH A BULLY BOSS?
I will outline some steps you could use to effectively deal with a bully boss and win him over to your side (if you are lucky);
- EVALUATE YOURSELF: Have you ever stopped to ask if there was any way you could change your behavior to solve the aggression? This doesn’t mean your boss has always been right all along, it means owing up to what you have control over, Yourself!!! Think of what you say, how you say and when you say it, check your boss reaction to this and check if there is any way you can say it better. Once you know this, you can more easily avoid situations that normally lead to aggressive outbursts. As a general rule, never respond to abusive or aggressive behaviors, it does no good and simply adds to the already heated atmosphere.
- AVOID EMOTIONAL ARGUMENTS: THERE AR TWO SIDES TO EVERY CONFLICT. THE FACTS AND THE EMPTIONS. IN THE HEAT OF AN ARGUMENT, YOU MAY BE TEMPTED TO TELL YOUR BOSS TO GO TO HELL (Sometimes, they really should). While this may give you momentary satisfaction from being able to stand up for yourself, you would most likely wish you had handled it in a more mature way later on. Always try to lead them back to rational thinking during such fists of outburst and maintain your composure, it actually helps a lot.
- VISIT HR: If your organization has a human resource department, try contacting them to intimate them with the current trend of happenings between you and your boss. Never be scared to approach them and be sure of what you say. They are more professional in handling this situation more than you do and as such would be better knowledgeable on how to resolve this than you do.
- RUN!!! When all fails, it is probably time to move on to something better. Sometimes, no matter how much you try, you can never be able to deal with a boss effectively. At this juncture, you need to look back and plan ahead. Your health comes first, staying alive is the pre-requisite to working for anyone, if you decide to stay and end up with a nervous breakdown, you would realize how indispensable you really were to your employer.
Do you have a boss who bullies you and need professional advice and counsel, do not hesitate to CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL today and enjoy the peace you deserve.

Bonn, Germany, March 16, 2012 – The future of the Adaptation Fund was a major topic of discussion during its latest Board meeting, given the fall in the prices of Certified Emissions Reductions, which comprise the Fund’s primary funding source through a levy on the Clean Development Mechanism. To ensure that the work of the Fund is sustained, and to allow the continued financing of adaptation projects given the demand of more than US $300 million, the Board decided to set a fundraising target of US$100 million until the end of 2013.
The Fund will be soliciting comments from the public regarding optimal fundraising strategies, which will target governments, the private sector, and individual donors.
The Adaptation Fund Board, which held its 17th meeting from March 14-16, 2012 in Bonn, Germany, also welcomed its new chair, Luis Santos, who is climate change program coordinator for the government of Uruguay. He replaces outgoing chair Ana Fornells de Frutos of Spain.
The Board also approved decisions to accredit three National Implementing Entities (NIEs), which are now eligible to access and manage Adaptation Fund financing for adaptation projects without going through a multilateral, or international institution. The entities, National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) from Kenya, Instituto Mexicano de Tecnologia del Agua (IMTA) from Mexico, and Unidad para el Cambio Rural (UCAR) from Argentina bring the total number of NIEs to eleven. To assist other countries in achieving NIE status for their institutions, two regional workshops on the accreditation process and direct access to Adaptation Fund financing will take place in the spring for the Asia/Eastern Europe and Pacific regions. The workshops, organized by the secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, will allow participants to receive targeted and interactive guidance on the requirements for accreditation from expert members of the Adaptation Fund Board’s advisory body, the Accreditation Panel. The workshops will take place March 19-21 in Manila, Philippines for the Asia/Eastern Europe region and April 23-25 in Apia, Samoa for the Pacific region.
The Adaptation Fund Board approved grant funding for one programme in Papua New Guinea, to be implemented by the United Nations Development Programme. With a total value of USD$6.53 million, the programme aims to enhance the adaptive capacity of communities to climate-change related floods in the North Coast and Islands region of Papua New Guinea. The Board approved a grant of US$29,000 for an NIE, the National Environment Fund of Benin for formulation of a project concept titled “Adaptation of Cotonou Lagoon ecosystems and human communities to sea level rise and extreme weather events impacts.” The project concept, which the Board has endorsed, addresses the vulnerability of Cotonou’s lagoon, along with key economic and socio-administrative infrastructures to mitigate climate risks by protecting shores against floods, among other measures.
Operational for almost two years, the Adaptation Fund Board has approved 18 project/programmes for funding to date, amounting to more than USD$115.7 million. The Board meets next in Bonn, Germany, from June 26 – 29, 2012 for its second meeting of 2012. As the Board has decided to reduce the number of Board meetings per year to three, the revised schedule of meetings will be available on the Adaptation Fund’s webpage in due course.
The Adaptation Fund is a self-standing fund established under the Kyoto Protocol of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which gets the main part of its funding from a two percent share of proceeds of all Certified Emission Reductions issued under the Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism projects. The Fund is designed to finance concrete climate change adaptation projects and programs based on the needs, views and priorities of developing countries. The Global Environment Facility provides secretariat services to the Adaptation Fund and the World Bank serves as its trustee, both on an interim basis.

With an outdoor display of 150,000 Christmas lights, Bob and Raquel Cox saw their electric bill increase $400 last December. This year, the couple expects to pay an even larger bill: They strung 210,000 lights outside their Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home.
But the extra cost is worth it, Bob Cox said.
"It's our gift to the community," he said. "We love seeing all the smiling faces." Read full article »
