Which ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy is best?
When mystery is afoot, the Scooby gang is on the trail. If a child in your life is a big fan of the “Scooby-Doo” TV shows or movies, you may be looking for a “Scooby-Doo” toy to put a smile on their face.
From action figures to plush toys to board games, there are many types of Scooby-themed toys available. Consider the age range you’re buying for and which characters the recipient likes best. The Playmobil “Scooby-Doo” Mystery Machine is a fun play set for ages 5 and up.
What to know before you buy a ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy
Types of ‘Scooby-Doo’ toys
You’ll find all kinds of Scooby-Doo-themed toys, so think about the preferences of the person you’re buying for.
- Figures: You can find figures of the whole Scooby gang: Velma, Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo himself. You can also find some figures of iconic foes from the TV show and movies.
- Play sets: Play sets include figures and some kind of setting in which to play with them. The Mystery Machine camper is a popular play set choice, but you’ll also find sets that include haunted mansions, cemeteries and other spooky settings.
- Plush toys: Scooby-Doo is the most common character you’ll find plush toys of, but you can occasionally find plushies featuring other members of Mystery Incorporated. Plush toys can range from 2-3 inches tall to over 12 inches tall.
- Games and puzzles: Kids who love games and puzzles will appreciate “Scooby-Doo” board games and jigsaw puzzles. Some Scooby-themed board games are original, while others are versions of popular games, such as Clue and Monopoly.
- Play tents: Play tents that look like the Mystery Machine are great for kids who love imaginary play.
Consider the age of the child you’re buying for and make sure the toy you choose is age-appropriate. Some age recommendations are based on skill level, while others are based on safety. For instance, some games might be recommended for ages 8 and up due to the skills required to play them, but they’re technically safe for children over 3.
TV and movie tie-ins
From the original “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!” to “Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo” to the 2002 live-action “Scooby-Doo,” the franchise has seen many iterations on the small and big screens. Some toys are related to the franchise and its characters in a general way, while others are tied into a specific movie or TV show.
What to look for in a quality ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy
The right accessories can make or break a play set or a selection of figures. Scooby snacks, sandwiches, flashlights and magnifying glasses are all great additions.
Ease of cleaning
Kids toys can get dirty and unhygienic over time, so it’s great if they’re easy to clean. Ideally, plush toys should be machine washable and other toys should be easy to wipe clean.
Of course, not everyone wants special edition toys, but these are great for older fans and collectors. You can still find some 50th anniversary edition toys and figures, plus some die-cast vehicles and figures that are meant for collecting rather than play.
How much you can expect to spend on a ‘Scooby-Doo’ toy
You can pay anywhere from $10-$100, depending on the type of toy and what it does, though most cost under $50.
‘Scooby-Doo’ toy FAQ
Are ‘Scooby-Doo’ toys still being made?
A. The “Scooby-Doo” franchise might not enjoy the popularity it once did, but some companies still make toys featuring the main characters, notable foes and the iconic Mystery Machine.
Are ‘Scooby-Doo’ toys educational?
A. Most “Scooby-Doo” toys aren’t explicitly educational, but there’s still value to imaginative play, which is important for kids’ development. Some “Scooby-Doo” games can help teach critical thinking and strategy, but it’s fine if toys are just for fun.
Can I buy other ‘Scooby-Doo’ merchandise?
A. If you’re looking for something other than toys, you can also find “Scooby-Doo” merchandise, including clothing, lunch boxes, coloring books, adhesive bandages, dog toys, backpacks and journals. There’s something for “Scooby-Doo” fans of all ages and interests.

What do you think of Catsuit #2 for the hot mama?
Jennifer Lopez pulled out all skintight stops in a leather catsuit at the 60th Italian Music Festival in San Remo, Italy, on Feb. 19. She must have been happy with the jaw-dropping reaction to her New Year’s Eve skintight and see-through catsuit #1 when she shocked and rocked Times Square during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest show.
So what do you think of the 40-year-old’s new leather look?

We live in an electronic world. Like or not, that world carries over to our boats. I actually love the electronic part of boating, and so I am aching to see the new wiz-bang wonders rolled out at the 2017 Miami International Boat Show this week (February 16-20).
My schedule’s pretty full of meetings with companies such as Furuno, Garmin, Humminbird, Lowrance, Raymarine, Simrad and others. I also have an idea of some product that I’ll be seeing. Here’s a sneak peek.
Furuno’s 4.01 software upgrade brings 20 enhancements to its NavNet TZtouch2 MFDs, including faster performance and new functions such as CZone digital switching, radar echo trails, fuel management data, and the NavNet Remote app for tablets and smartphones. The 4.01 update also improves on Furuno’s edge-swipe touch-screen system for accessing menus and operations, making it easier to use in rough seas. The software also lets you display position data in Loran-C TDs so you can re-visit some lost fishing spots. Free; furunousa.com
Garmin has updated its line of GPSMAP chart plotter/combo units with the new GPSMAP 7×2/9×2 touchscreen chartplotters and GPSMAP 10×2/12×2 keyed chartplotters. These new plotters are available with and without built-in sonar. The compact GPSMAP 7×2/9×2 feature 7- and 9-inch sunlight-readable touchscreens. The 10-inch GPSMAP 10x2xsv and the 12-inch GPSMAP 12xsv boast sunlight-readable screens with a keypad/rotary dial controls. $799.99 to $2999.99; garmin.com
The new Solix series from Humminbird features the largest displays – 12- and 15-inch touch-screens – in the history of the brand. These MFDs include Mega Imaging sonar, CHIRP sonar and AutoChart Live instant mapping. The Cross Touch interface allows for both touch-screen and keypad operation. The Mega Imaging includes ultra-high frequency down and side-scanning sonar for super-sharp returns. The series includes Bluetooth connectivity and the ability to network with i-Pilot Link via Minn Kota trolling motor. Prices range from $2,399 for the Solix 12 to $3,499 for the Solix 15 Mega SI; humminbird.com
Lowrance’s new generation of HDS multifunction displays – the HDS Carbon series – feature dual-core processors, SolarMAX HD touch-screens, StructureScan and dual-channel CHIRP sonar in 7-, 9- and 12-inch models. The SolarMAX HD display’s in-plane switching technology offers improved clarity and sharpness and wider range of viewing angles. The new units feature built-in C-Map Insight cartography, support Navionics SonarChart Live and can be networked with a range of Lowrance Broadband radar, Outboard Pilot and other systems. $2,099 to $3,399; lowrance.com
Raymarine’s new Axiom touch-screen MFDs – available in 7-, 9- and 12-inch models – features quad-core processors thar are 50 percent faster than previous displays. “Real-Vision 3D” sonar includes CHIRP DownVision, SideVision and fish targeting using a single transducer. You can also run 50/200 kHz sonar with separate transducer. MFDs are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, and will network with all current Raymarine accessories and MFDs.

Workers at aviation maintenance company Shannon Aerospace have overwhelmingly rejected a Labour Court recommendation aimed at resolving a dispute over the management's plans to close the defined benefit pension scheme.
The company had announced to staff that it would cease making contributions to the pension scheme, which is solvent, from 3 February.
The Labour Court recommended that both sides should maintain the status quo for two months to allow for negotiations.
Shannon Aerospace management had accepted the recommendation.
However, it has emerged this evening that 92% of staff voted to reject the recommendation. The turnout was around 88%.
A spokesperson for Shannon Aerospace said the board would be considering the ballot result over the weekend.
She said it is still very open to negotiations and want to talk to the unions.
She said the company was happy to talk to staff in accordance with the Labour Court recommendation.
SIPTU has not issued a formal comment on the ballot result at Shannon Aerospace.
However, informed union sources described the situation as being in a "cooling-off period" until Monday evening.
They also insisted there was no threat to jobs.
The company began operating in 1990 and employs around 500 people.

The ranked teams fell like prices at Boxing Week sales at the holiday tournaments. No. 2 Acadia, No. 5 Brandon and No. 6 Saint Mary's each lost today.
Two of the three games -- No. 7 Calgary's decisive 79-69 win over Acadia (who judging by the stats, kept it within 10 thanks mostly to their big man, Leonel Saintil) out in Winnipeg and Ottawa's one-point, 82-81 victory over hometown Saint Mary's at the Rod Shoveller tournament down in Halifax -- turned out exactly as the RPI would have predicted. (Seriously, is it too much to ask for the CIS to post this on their website, along with overall records vs. CIS teams, not just league records?)
Calgary, led by brothers Henry and Ross Bekkering up front, is second in RPI, so their beating the Axemen is no shock. For what it's worth, it says here if the Final 8 was held next weekend, a Calgary-Carleton final would be fairly plausible. (If there is a such a matchup come the middle of March, who would Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who's such a big sports nut, cheer for -- the city he represents in Parliament or the one he lives in?)
Ottawa's win over Saint Mary's was sweet validation for everyone who's been on the Gee-Gees bandwagon. Coach Dave DeAveiro's team will get a shot at No. 3 Concordia tomorrow in a tournament semi-final. The Gee-Gees won't have shooting guard Donnie Gibson (cishoops.ca is reporting that he tweaked his back in practice) to match up with the Stingers' Dwayne Buckley, which is going to make the task at hand that much tougher.
Meantime, what to make of the Brock Badgers, without shooting guard Rohan Steen, coming back in the fourth quarter to beat Brandon at the MTS Classic in Winnipeg? Brad Rootes shook free for a 16-point, 10-assist double-double to lead Brock, who were cold for three quarters before rallying with a 31-17 fourth quarter. It seems best to chalk this up as a case of Brandon failing to bury a team and veteran Brock coach Ken Murray getting his team to pull together in the final minutes.
Something of note: Brock has added 6-foot-6, 260-lb. big man Mike Muir, who should provide some beef under the boards for a team that's 11th in the 16-team OUA in rebounding margin.
Again, Mark Wacyk at cishoops.ca is tracking results from across the country. The fellas at The Scrum are liveblogging from the 'Peg, and Guelph's Big Man on Campus is keeping a close watch on everything.
The upshot from today is we will have some movement in the CIS men's basketball rankings once everyone's back on campus in about 10 days.

Stray dogs have been an issue in the country for quite some time.
One example is the area between the Kiarong Complex and Simpang 1, where passers-by are confronted by wandering dogs.
I hope the authorities would take action by relocating these animals elsewhere or drawing up a plan to deal with the stray dog situation nationwide.
In other countries, these dogs would have been moved to a state-funded animal shelter and put up for adoption.
Perhaps the authorities could look into setting up a similar shelter to house these strays?
More importantly, we need to address the root cause of the stray problem.
I believe there are irresponsible dog owners who allow their pets to breed freely rather than opting to spay or neuter them to prevent the accumulation of unwanted animals.
When the number of pets becomes too much to bear, these owners will dump them in public areas, leading to the worsening of the problem.
It is not just restricted to dogs; we are also faced with a growing population of stray cats in the country.
I hope that a comprehensive policy could be implemented to deal with the stray issue once and for all.
Finally, I urge all pet owners to spay or neuter their animals. It is, after all, the right thing to do!

Carew and Gabriel Agbonlahor are currently level on 16 goals in all competitions, although the young Englishman has more Premier League strikes with 13.
While the Norwegian's primary job is to find the back of the net for Martin O'Neill's side, he is happy providing he is setting up goals for others.
Carew has never set himself goal targets in the past and insists piping Agbonlahor to the club's golden boot award is not something he is dwelling on.
"I would be more than happy for Gabi to be top scorer," explained Carew.
"I would be proud of him and if I can help him do it, that would be great.
"If I am playing well and helping others, I'm happy.
"I never set targets. It's not something I think about."
Villa remain firmly in the hunt for a fourth-place finish which would bring Champions League football next term and face a crucial clash on Saturday when they travel to fellow challengers Manchester City.

Nine MPs are in the running to take over as Speaker of the House of Commons from the eccentric incumbent, John Bercow, on 4 November.
At the hustings in Westminster on Wednesday, 9 October, the favourite, Lindsay Hoyle, who is currently the Deputy Speaker, said: “I am fair, I am neutral. I don’t want to have a view on Brexit at all after 4 November.”
Mr Hoyle, who has sat in the Speaker’s chair on a number of occasions, notably on Budget days, also hit out at the drinking culture in Parliament and said he believed some MPs and their staff might need counselling for alcohol and drug problems.
In response to a question by a Guardian journalist, Mr Hoyle said: “It’s not just drink we’ve got to catch out, there is a drug problem. I genuinely believe that counselling and real support should be available for all staff and members.”
Many MPs are keen on the idea of having a female Speaker - the first since the legendary Betty Boothroyd, who stepped down in 2000.
One of the most impressive female candidates is Harriet Harman, a former Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
Ms Harman said she felt Bercow had remained neutral and she pledged to continue his work.
John Bercow has done his second sit down interview with CNN in less than 9 months.... pitching for work on the lucrative U.S. speaking circuit much? pic.twitter.com/gCALiE5yuc— John Stevens (@johnestevens) October 9, 2019
She said: “The Speaker must be the servant of Parliament, and it cannot be impartial on that.”
Dame Rosie Winterton, a Labour MP from Doncaster, said: “People are thinking that it would be quite good for a Yorkshire woman to be the Speaker of the House. I would wear a Yorkshire rose badge to emphasise my approach of unity, stabilisation and reaching out across the UK to show that Parliament is truly representative of the regions and countries.”
The New Statesman reported that former Conservative minister Shailesh Vara, one of the outsiders in the race, said Mr Bercow had acted like a “playground bully” and had demeaned the office’s impartial role.
Much consensus at 1st Speaker hustings on dangerous times facing our parliamentary democracy, need for strong, respected Speaker & essential reform of Commission and Chamber behaviour! #SpeakHer #PressLobby @christopherhope pic.twitter.com/GdEFVGu1oD— Harriet Harman (@HarrietHarman) October 10, 2019
Two other Conservative MPs - Sir Edward Leigh and Henry Bellingham - agreed with Vara, with Sir Edward saying Bercow was perceived as a biased referee by many people.
Eleanor Laing, another Tory, said it was “not hard” to remain impartial as Speaker and she said Bercow’s eccentric style had stirred up tensions and made the febrile atmosphere even worse.

Also in the running are Labour MPs Chris Bryant and Meg Hillier.
MPs will vote early next month and the new Speaker will be in the chair on 4 November, which may or may not be after Brexit.


Efforts to restore one of Laurel's oldest downtown buildings are halfway finished.
Owner Danny Rasberry is renovating the old First National Bank building downtown, built in 1903.
Rasberry says the top three floors are done, and he's leasing those floors out as office space. Once renovations are finished, the first floor of the building will become a fine dining restaurant.
Tenants of the building hosted an open house for the public to celebrate the revitalization of the downtown area.
"What an incredible downtown we have," Rasberry says, "what an incredible opportunity."
All renovations should be completed within 18 months.

Is all it takes to turn a day around. One second you're in a huff, totally overwhelmed by the happenings in your world. The next second you're reminded of the sandwich that never was, and you get a craving. You rush to the grocery store and buy the items necessary. You get nostalgic about something you can't fully remember because you've never actually enjoyed it. For me, this sandwich is one I spied on a menu at Les Deux Gamins in the Village this summer. I really did want to get it, but something in me told me not to. Since that day, I have envisioned this sandwich. Today was the day I finally decided to make it.
I couldn't quite remember what was on it exactly, but I knew what the building blocks were - a baguette, smoked salmon and hard boiled egg. I also remembered that there was mayonnaise on it, which was probably what led to my order of eggs over a goat cheese potato cake. I just don't really like mayonnaise. I decided to replace it with a dill-speckled creme fraiche. I'm sure the mayonnaise worked better, since it didn't have that slightly sour note lingering after each bite, but I enjoyed that sour note. It was a very simple sandwich in the end - I layered some smoked salmon, julienned cucumber, sliced tomato, onion and chopped hardboiled egg on the baguette. I chopped up some dill and mixed it into my creme fraiche and then slid that on to the top. It was perfect. And when I was finished I understood why I was so nostalgic for something that I had never tasted before. I didn't have to eat the sandwich to miss it. It was a testament to pure simplicity. Those are the tastes we cling to, the ones that are simple and familiar, the ones that you crave even though you've never tasted them before.

I originally grabbed this photo because it showed a lovely formal garden, but as I examined it more closely, I could see a lot that was wild about this picture, too. Yes, it has large lawns, stonework and a fountain, but looking at the edges it is also exuberant, with the beds threatening to spill out into the lawn at any moment. Maybe that is the goal of any garden — to maintain a bit of control but also expose the wilderness that could be.
The truth is, we only carve our gardens out of the wilderness for a small amount of time. I only have to look at properties in my neighborhood that remain empty for a short time. The lawn and garden beds quickly revert to weeds and saplings. Given a few months, I could see the entire property yielding to the overwhelming pressure of nature. Even more, this is here in the relatively dry and inhospitable San Fernando Valley. if you live in a more temperate climate, your lot could go from a cultivated garden to meadow to woodlot in just a year or so.

Nice setup. Kimber makes awesome rifles and the 308 is a proven killer. Nice glass choice too. I have shot the federal fusions in my 7mm08 but that gun didn't like them. Good luck. Would like to see your setup if you care to post.Kimber 84m 308 with Leupold glass,, shooting Federal Fusion 150gr
Good to hear. I’m hoping I have similar experience. I shoot fusions out of my Browning 7mm Mag and it’s a deer dropper. Just wanting to get back out with a .06 againI’ve gotten very good results with Hornady Superformance SST in .308 for deer and .300 Win mag for Elk.

EU, Norway, and the Faroe Islands request on the long-term management strategies for Northeast Atlantic mackerel (full feedback approach)
reportposted on 2023-08-22, 09:09 authored by ICESICES
ICES provides combinations of Ftarget and Btrigger that maximize the median annual yield in the long term and simultaneously minimize the risk of the Northeast Atlantic mackerel stock falling below Blim.
Published under the auspices of the following ICES Steering Group or Committee


Volvo’s wagon lineup broadens a bit more for 2018 with the addition of a new base model for the V90 Cross Country. A Cross Country T5 joins the more powerful T6 model that was the sole Cross Country trim offered for the 2017 model year. The T5 still has standard all-wheel drive and drops the price of entry by $3000 (compared with a 2017 T6 model), to $53,295.
As is true across Volvo’s current range, the T5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, as opposed to the turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter installed in T6 models. In the V90 Cross Country, the T5 loses 66 horsepower and 37 lb-ft of torque compared with the T6, for total of 250 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The T5 also has a bit less standard equipment, forgoing the T6’s standard heated seats and steering wheel, along with its LED headlights (the heated seats and steering wheel cost $750 extra on the T5). Volvo also has increased prices for the 2018 V90 T6 compared with last year, with the base rising by $800, to $57,095.

All versions of the V90 Cross Country, with its standard all-wheel drive system and extra body cladding, are still more expensive than the standard front-drive V90 T5 wagon, which starts at $50,945. But, to get a cladding-free V90, which is also available in an all-wheel-drive T6 configuration, you’ll have to special-order it. V90 Cross Country models are available to purchase at Volvo dealerships, although you’ll likely have to wait a bit for these 2018 models to arrive.

Samsung launched a virtual reality controller today for its Gear VR mobile headset to go with the new Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone also introduced today.
The Gear VR controller sells for $39, or for $130 when bundled with the Gear VR headset. It hits retail stores on April 21. The controller has buttons, a touch pad for your thumb, and a trigger. I tried the controller out on a recent visit to the Oculus building at Facebook’s campus.
I used the controller to navigate through the Oculus Home site on the Gear VR, and I played a couple of games with the controller as well. One of those games is Oculus Studios’ Dead & Buried, which is the first game that has been ported from the PC-based Oculus Rift to the Gear VR.
Max Cohen, head of mobile product at Oculus, also showed me the new Oculus Store for Gear VR, which has been rewritten from the ground up to load three times faster for Gear VR users. It also has sharper tech, consumes less battery power, and seems to have sharper imagery. There are 700 apps in the store now.
GamesBeat Summit 2023
Join the GamesBeat community in Los Angeles this May 22-23. You’ll hear from the brightest minds within the gaming industry to share their updates on the latest developments.
“One of the toughest problems is always discovery,” Cohen said. “With our explore section, we can intermix videos, photos, and apps.”
“It adds a new level of flexibility and interactivity,” he added. “It’s like going from standard definition to high-definition with this experience.”
You can also create an avatar on the Oculus Rift that will also work on mobile devices. You can share things on your social graph and take selfies with the avatar. If you pull the controller’s trigger while you’re taking the selfie, your avatar will raise a thumbs up sign.
“The avatar is persistent across the Oculus platform,” Cohen said.
And you can use the avatar to watch movies with friends on VR versions of Hulu and other 360 video sites. Sadly, the Oculus avatars don’t work with the HTC Vive.
I played Drop Dead, a zombie-shooting game on the Gear VR. I used my hand to aim, as if I were aiming an actual weapon in real life. Then when the light beams settled on the target, I pulled the trigger and fired a shot. I was able to dispatch the zombies at a pretty high speed. By pointing the gun down and whipping it upward, I could reload the gun. It was all pretty responsive.
Then I played a multiplayer round in Dead & Buried with Cohen. In the gunfight, you have to draw your gun faster than the other guy in front of you. In this case, that other gunslinger was controlled by Cohen. You have to hold your gun (the controller) down at your side at first.
Then, when the timer runs out, you have to draw and shoot your rival faster (pulling the controller’s trigger) than he or she shoots you. In the first round, Cohen shot me. In the second round, I shot faster, but we killed each other. And in the final round, Cohen shot me dead easily. It was fun and made me laugh. That shootout mode was as fun as some of the two-on-two battles in Dead & Buried, which was one of my favorite games for the Rift last year.
There will be 20 titles for the controller at the outset, with about 50 in the next few months. Older titles still work with the headset or with the touch pad on the controller. Samsung is making the controller, while Oculus has worked on some things related to it.

Two tone kitchen cabinets can be a kitchen feature that can bring eye-catchy look into the kitchen space. For those who want to have more colors inside the kitchen, then the cabinets will work well. The two tones on the cabinets will bring more visual interest as well as contrast look inside the kitchen. The flourish of the design will give more color diversity into the kitchen. Besides, such cabinet design will also emphasize the kitchen space strength as well.
Creating a Vintage Kitchen Design in Colorful Look
Applying two tone kitchen cabinets will allow you creating a focal point inside the space. Then the island form, contrasting color or the design of the entire cabinets will become a complement. For a traditionally designed kitchen that doesn’t have a lot of visual diversity or color, this cabinet design will work well.
On the other hand, kitchen that has different color of cabinets on the top and bottom is also quite popular today. Making the kitchen cabinets into two tones will be more effective if the bottom cabinets are painted in darker color. If you choose the darker color for the top cabinets, then you will get the sense of pulling the ceiling lower down. Yet, it will also make the atmosphere cozier with such kitchen tones.
For another idea, you can make the cabinets in contrast colors and finishing. For instance, you can make a pretty contrast design by combining dark brown cabinets with stainless steel cabinets. The steel cabinets cannot only finish in its familiar steel color but also in deep blue or red shades that are unique but look specially combined.
Besides, the two tone kitchen cabinets also can ease the monotone look of cabinets in natural wood color palette. You can make it by painting some cabinets on the top, bottom or scattered with the colors of soft red or blue.
You can also combine the walls’ shades to the cabinet design. Even you don’t want to make the color is perfectly same, you can give the accent of two tone kitchen cabinets into a similar tone with the wall but in different softness. It will also become a great touch inside the kitchen; bringing more colors but doesn’t make it overwhelmed. Therefore, choose the best design for your kitchen cabinets by choosing the right color combination. Make sure the colors chosen are balance and can create harmony inside the room even though it is made in colorful tones.

GLIDE n° TC-2011-000114-DOM
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters.
Summary: CHF 81,845 was allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) on 2 September 2011 to support the Dominican Red Cross in delivering assistance to some 5,000 beneficiaries affected by Hurricane Irene.
Floods as a result of Hurricane Irene affected as many as four provinces in the Dominican Republic in late August, destroying crops and infrastructure and affecting up to 37,000 people. Dominican Red Cross branches responded accordingly in all affected areas in cooperation with local authorities. The National Society supported evacuation efforts and provided affected families with drinking water as well as first aid services.
With support from IFRC’s DREF, the Dominican Red Cross assisted 5,000 people with relief items and provision of safe water, and also conducted hygiene promotion and health messaging activities in four provinces.
Although the implementation of the DREF was effective, there is still a need to develop response capacity in DRC structures at all levels to meet local needs for future operations. Standard operating procedures for the DRC would benefit from revision and more resources need to be directed towards the development of community response teams and training of the national intervention team to increase capacity to carry out needs assessments. More emphasis needs to be placed on risk reduction and preparedness in order to reduce local vulnerability and optimize future use of resources for response activities.
The DREF operation has made a positive impact on the Dominican Red Cross as it becomes institutionally stronger and able to respond better to future disasters.
From the DREF allocation of CHF 81,845, an amount of CHF 53,037.30 was spent. All activities were successfully carried out, and this report is final in terms of narrative and financials. The operation is now closed, with a final balance of CHF 28,807.70 unspent and returned to DREF.
The Canadian Red Cross and the Canadian Government, and the Netherlands Red Cross and the Netherlands government contributed to the DREF in replenishment of the allocation made for this operation. IFRC, on behalf of the Dominican Red Cross, would like to thank all partners for their generous contribution to the DREF which continues to be an important resource in initiating first response in disaster. The major donors and partners of DREF include the Australian, American and Belgian governments, the Austrian Red Cross, the Canadian Red Cross and government, the Danish Red Cross and government, the European Commission Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO), the Irish and the Italian governments, the Japanese Red Cross Society, the Luxembourg government, the Monaco Red Cross and government, the Netherlands Red Cross and government, the Norwegian Red Cross and government, the Spanish government, the Swedish Red Cross and government, the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), the Medtronic and Z Zurich Foundations, and other corporate and private donors. The IFRC, on behalf of the National Society, would like to extend thanks to all for their generous contributions. Details of all donors can be found on http://www.ifrc.org/en/what-we-do/disaster-management/responding/disaster-responsesystem/ financial-instruments/disaster-relief-emergency-fund-dref/

Here’s a painting of a boat that’s out of water on St. Simons Island. In the Gascoigne Bluff area of the island there’s an spot that’s basically a parking lot where a number of boats are out of water and waiting to get back in. I painted this while visiting and finished it at our little rental house.
The canopy of trees in this area makes for the most amazing light dapples, and it was almost dizzying to try and translate it into paint. The light moves around constantly, almost like an organic disco ball, and it was so fun to paint.

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2016 (PRESS SEC) – Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris announced the appointment of Mr Les Khan as the new head of Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) at the National Conference of Service Providers and Developers which took place at The Royal St Kitts Hotel on September 12th.
Prime Minister Harris at the conference said:
“You all know him as the consultant who has led the restructuring of the CIU over the last 18 months or so. The changes that the majority of you have complimented have been as a result of his guidance.”
“With the appointment of the new head of the unit, the reforms undertaken and our new marketing strategy, we are now in a position to implement our re-branding effort.”
The conference entitled “St. Kitts & Nevis Redefining Global Citizenship, Leading the Way Again!” was attended by over 200 delegates and provided the opportunity to hear about the new direction for the unit under its new head and to hear from the team: Tamara O’Flaherty on Verification and Data Entry, Orin Roberts on the Technical Committee, Eirate McCall on Technology and Rapha Bailey on Certificates of Registration.
Delegates heard from the Attorney General, the Honourable Vincent Byron Jr on Escrow law, with closing remarks provided by The Premier of Nevis and Senior Minister in the Federal Government, the Honourable Vance Amory.
The Prime Minister sent a clear signal to the Federation and international markets, that the Citizenship By Investment Program, innovated and initiated by St Kitts and Nevis a year after political independence, was of a platinum standard. He told delegates:
“I need not remind you that citizenship is a special connection between a person and a country. As a proud people we cherish our citizenship. We want those who are fortunate and privileged to obtain our citizenship to have an enduring, productive and positive relationship with Saint Kitts and Nevis. We invite them to help us make our beautiful country a prosperous country which has now become theirs also by bringing new skills, further investments and they must be of good character and repute.”

Manila, Philippines – The Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) has imposed a ban on dine-in for all food establishments operating within its premises nationwide and advised its employees and stakeholders to avail themselves of “take-out” services in its bid to slow if not to contain the spread of coronavirus.
It has likewise directed the strict observance of “No Smoking Policy” for all its employees and stakeholders while inside and within its buildings in compliance with Memorandum Circular No. 17, series of 2009 of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) otherwise known as Smoking Prohibition Based on 100% Smoke-Free Policy which prohibits smoking in or on the premises, buildings, and ground of government agencies.
MARINA Administrator Robert A Empedrad said that these measures are necessary to promote public health safety for all MARINA employees, utility personnel, and stakeholders transacting physically with the Agency.
As of 14 September 2020, the MARINA had a total number of 46 COVID19 cases where 37 of them have already fully recovered while 9 remain as active cases.
This situation has prompted the Agency to reduce its operations by almost 50% and has hugely impacted the processing of applications of seafarers lodged through its online platforms.
Administrator Empedrad said that “We can no longer afford to have COVID19 infections affecting our employees as there is now an urgent need for the Agency to restore its frontline services to full or normal operations.”

The flag for Bermuda, which may show as the letters BM on some platforms.
The Flag: Bermuda emoji is a flag sequence combining 🇧 Regional Indicator Symbol Letter B and 🇲 Regional Indicator Symbol Letter M. These display as a single emoji on supported platforms.
Flag: Bermuda was added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
The "🇧🇲" emote or "Flag: Bermuda" emote represents the flag of Bermuda, which features a red background with a Union Jack in the top left corner and a coat of arms on the right side. The coat of arms includes a shield with a ship representing the Sea Venture, which was wrecked off Bermuda in 1609, and a lion holding a scrolled shield with the image of a Tudor ship. The flag has been used since 1910 and symbolizes Bermuda's ties to both Britain and the sea.
- Nature & Wildlife:
"Exploring Bermuda's diverse ecosystem and spotting unique wildlife is a nature lover's dream. 🇧🇲"
- Freedom & Independence:
"Celebrating Bermuda's independence day with the locals was a truly memorable experience. 🇧🇲"
- Adrenaline & Excitement:
"Riding the waves on a high-speed boat tour around Bermuda's coastline was an adrenaline rush! 🇧🇲"

Eli Apple is one of those cornerbacks in the league that is likely hated by every wideout on every team. The dislike towards him hasn’t been seen since Andre Johnson had to put the Beats By Dre on Cortland Finnegan, who was also widely disliked around the league.
Apple upset some people this week with his relentless trolling of Stefon Diggs after the Bengals defeated the Bills and knocked them out of the playoffs. Apple also trolled Diggs by tweeting “Cancun on 3” and including an emoji that looked like Damar Hamlin’s trademark heart gesture.
Now, Diggs’ brother, Trevon, has something to say about Apple.
“How you running to the internet to troll knowing you not like that? S–t weird,” Trevon Diggs tweeted on Tuesday.
Like Stefon’s team, Trevon and the Cowboys are also headed to Cancun after they go lifted out of the postseason by the 49ers for the second year in a row.
Apple has not addressed Trevon Diggs’ subtweet.
He did, however, issue a statement saying he did not intend to disrespect Hamlin with his emoji usage in the Cancun tweet.
“All love thoughts prayers and concerns to @HamlinIsland as he continues to recover from that tragic incident. Never would I make light of that scary unfortunate scene,” Apple said. “This game is truly a dangerous risk to our bodies mind and spirit. Nothing but love to all my football brothers.”

The 4 waters of Pravah: Navigating Contamination
“I can see with my own eyes that the water that comes from the tap, it comes from those ponds that store wastewater for irrigation... I know it is bad, because I can see it is green water. So I don't use it for cooking. I use well water for cooking because it is purer than the tap water, because when the water percolates into the well, there are some bad particles that remain at the bottom. But it is still bad, so I don't use it for drinking, it still contains chemicals because of the wastewater percolation.
There are actually 4 waters here: the wastewater for irrigation, the sakarbai water for cooking and bathing, the tap water for washing and the ATM water for drinking."
Babita, housewife, Dalit caste, about 50 years old
Multiple ways of knowing Pravah's wastewaterscape
In Pravah, people know their waters by looking at them, tasting them, feeling them, smelling them. Their senses, their bodies, allow them to navigate levels of contamination, assessing their dangers and vital powers to decide which water to use and how.
They also observe how different waters influence the growth of different crops. Wastewater for example works as manure for crops, but also fosters the growth of weeds and makes the soil look unhealthy. Wastewater also attracts animals that were not previously living in the village: deer, rabbits, birds.
In this sense, farmers observe, sense and narrate the emergence of a multi-spieces wastewaterscape.
Scientists assess water quality by testing the presence of specific bacteria and by ensuring that water properties (such as temperature, pH, dissolved solids and oxygen, etc.) fall within certain benchmarks. Each of these parameters reveals something different about water, its health and the physical and social environments through which it flows.
Numbers, measurements, colors, tastes, embodied feelings, smells represent different ways of knowing water. They may agree with one another or clash and contradict, resulting in different ways of experiencing and relating to waters.
The same water can therefore be deemed safe and healthy by scientific assessments, but perceived as dirty, smelly and dangerous by the inhabitants of Pravah.

TORONTO - Carson Palmer is going to have a difficult time convincing Bengals owner Mike Brown to let him go elsewhere.
Too bad because the San Francisco 49ers evidently are interested in replacing Alex Smith with Palmer.
Mike Lombardi of NFL Network says that the 49ers at least could make a phone call to Brown.
While Palmer didn’t have a vintage season with the Bengals, the 49ers wouldn’t be the only team interested in his services.
Seattle, with Matt Hasselbeck expected to move on, is considering Palmer as an alternative — according to scuttlebut eminating from the Pro Bowl.
San Francisco is one of at least a half dozen teams looking to upgrade at the quarterback position. One drawback is the potential of a lockout. The owners have threatened to lock out players and shut down the league on March 3 if a new collective bargaining agreement isn’t reached.
It would mean teams couldn’t trade or speak with free agents.
If a work stoppage lasted into the summer it would make it difficult for teams to switch players at key positions because they wouldn’t have time to learn offensive (or defensive) schemes.
It also complicates the situation for players such as Donovan McNabb and Vince Young. McNabb wants out of Washington and Minnesota is believed to have an interest. Ditto Young, who has also been rumoured to have an interest in going to Houston.
Jets win! ... somewhere else
But only if you live in Nicaragua, Zambia, Romania or Armenia. Apparel makers these days usually prepare shirts and hats declaring both teams in major events as champions.
You know, so guys can mug for cameras. Looks good on TV. But they don’t sell real well back Loserville or any other part of the world that knows what really happened.
The website TMZ reports that this year’s batch of unsellable merchandize is headed overseas where people don’t care what clothes say ... only that it keeps them warm.

Cheeseheads 1, Blockheads 0
Cheering for his favourite football team cost John Stone his job Monday as a car salesman at Webb Chevrolet in Chicago.
Turns out Stone may be the only Packers’ fan in the state and when he showed up at work wearing his Green Bay tie it didn’t go over real well with the boss.
Webb Chevrolet is a radio sponsor for Bears’ games.
In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Stone recounted his conversation with his boss, Jerry Roberts: “He said, ‘You have two options. Remove the tie, or you’re fired.’ When I didn’t, he said, ‘You can leave, you’re fired.’ Does that sound fair to you?”
Roberts said he fired Stone because wearing the tie the day after the Bears’ loss antagonized Bears’ fans and “makes it harder to sell cars.” Roberts added, “If he loves the tie more than his job, he’s welcome to keep wearing it — elsewhere.”
Stone said tough cheese and has already landed a job at a different dealership.

Culter’s tear-rible injury
Jay Cutler’s left knee injury is a Grade II MCL tear.
The Bears announced Cutler’s injury as a “sprain,” but in medical terms that’s the equivalent of a tear.
Head coach Lovie Smith said Tuesday that had the Bears advanced to the Super Bowl it would have been unlikely that Cutler could have played.
A Grade II MCL injury would normally sideline a player for about a month.
Bears fans are still angry that Cutler left the game after one series in the second half.
He was seen pedaling a stationary bike and standing and walking on the sideline.
Smith said Cutler did want to continue playing but that the medical staff and coaches made the decision to pull him because he wasn’t mobile enough to protect himself.

Herschel Walker eyes comeback?
Former Pro Bowl running back Herschel Walker says he wants to be like George Foreman.
Unfortunately he’s not talking about an exciting career selling bar-be-cues.
Walker says he’s in better shape now than when he played in the NFL and that he wants to make a comeback.
Walker has been retired since 1997 and will be 49 years old before the start of next season.
“I’ve told everyone that at 50 I might try football again to show people I can do that,” Walker said Monday in a conference call aimed at promoting an MMA event in which he’ll be participating.
“I want to be the George Foreman of football, come back and do that one more time.”
He’s even being picky, suggesting the teams he’d play for are Atlanta or the Vikings — which makes sense since the latter has recent experience as a clearing house for broken-down players heading into their dotage.
In 12 NFL seasons, Walker had 18,168 total combined net yards, ranking him second among the NFL’s all-time leaders in total yardage at the time of his retirement in 1997.
“I’m in better shape now than I was when I was in my early 20s, playing football,” said Walker who, as football players go, makes a good comedian.

Rodgers credits new helmet
Did he, or didn’t he?
Only Aaron Rodgers knows and he’s not about to tell anyone.
Speculation abounds that the Packers quarterback may have suffered his third concussion of the year when he was drilled upside the earhole in a head to head hit from Julius Peppers.
Rodgers did look a bit wobbly after the play but didn’t say anything to sideline doctors and the Packers never checked him out for a problem.
Of course, if they had and had he complained of being dizzy, he’d have been yanked from the biggest game of his life and it would jeopardize his chance of playing next week in the Super Bowl.
Rodgers attributes his ability to keep playing after being knocked and/or knocked out of the game to his new helmet.
Rodgers says a new helmet he has been wearing since his last concussion saved him from serious injury this time.
It is a new, safer, high-tech model the NFL has been urging players to use.
“That was lucky,” Rodgers told Peter King of Sports Illustrated. “As much as the new helmet feels uncomfortable and I’m still getting used to it, I’m really happy I was wearing it on that hit.
“It hurt, I can tell you that. He hit me pretty good. I know what a concussion feels like. I’m just grateful this wasn’t hard enough to give me another one.”
And, even if it was hard enough to give him headaches, the chances of Rodgers admitting it now are about as likely as Rex Ryan turning up as guest speaker at a mime convention.

Matt Stafford ... ‘china doll’ QB
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has enough trouble avoiding enemy hits.
Tuesday, the oft-injured former No. 1 draft pick got hit by friendly fire. Teammate and linebacker Zack Follett called Stafford “a china doll right now.”
Follett said while Stafford is a huge talent and a “good guy” he is unable to keep from getting hurt. He has missed more games (19) than he has played (13) in his first two NFL seasons.
“Anytime he gets hit, he goes down. But the kid is — hopefully, it’s just patiently waiting for him, because the kid is an awesome talent,” Follett told the Detroit Free Press.
“He has a tremendous arm. The throws that he makes during practice when no one can touch him, he looks like an All-American quarterback, but put him in a game, and you hit his shoulder.
“So hopefully, say a couple prayers, keep him healthy next year, and the Lions can do some damage in the NFC.”
The Lions quickly had Follett undergo an emergency operation to, you know, get the foot taken out of his mouth.
In a follow-up radio interview Follett blamed the injuries on “the luck of the draw, he’s had bad luck. I have no doubt that he can come and play a full season, he’s a tough kid.
“I’ll tell you right now I’m glad we have Matthew Stafford instead of the Bears quarterback because he goes in and plays with separated shoulders in some games.”

And, now for the Michael Vick Jailbird of the Year Award. Giants GM Jerry Reese isn’t going to be waiting at the prison door when Plaxico Burress is released next June. But he won’t be far away. Neither will Ravens coach John Harbaugh. Both have expressed interest in signing Burress who is serving a two-year sentence after he shot himself in the hip with an illegal gun in a nightclub. “I think the first thing he’ll want to do is just spend time with his family, and we’ll be in contact at the appropriate time,” said Reese ... Bears backup quarterback Todd Collins underwent an MRI Tuesday after it was disclosed that he suffered a shoulder injury in the NFC championship game ... The Bills promoted Mary Owen to executive vice president for strategic planning. She’s the niece of owner and team president Ralph C. Wilson ... Packers RB John Kuhn will try to earn his second Super Bowl ring by beating the team that provided him with his first ... Denver head coach John Fox has hired Saints defensive backs coach Dennis Allen to become his defensive coordinator. All he needs now is a defence ... Wes Welker, when asked if he’s glad the Jets aren’t in the Super Bowl: “I think if you’re a Patriot fan, a little bit.” ... The Cowboys may be targetting offensive linemen Nate Solder of Colorado and Tyron Smith of USC with their No. 9 pick ... Marques (The Bionic Man) Colston will have arthroscopic surgery on both his knee and wrist. These will be Colston’s fifth and sixth known surgeries since 2008 ... Green Bay was much better than the average 10-6 NFL team. They were the first team in history to lose six games in a season and have all six losses by four points or fewer.

Christian Dior Quotes
Christian Dior quotes. Dior (1905-1957) was an influential French fashion designer, most famous for inventing the New Look of the late 1940s.
Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.
Simplicity, good taste and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.
Grooming is the secret of real elegance. The best clothes, the most wonderful jewels, the most glamourous beauty don't count without good grooming.
The colors of gray, pale turquoise and pink will prevail.
I will only say now that elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension.
Elegance is not dependent on money. Of the four things I have mentioned above, the most important of all is care. Care in choosing your clothes. Care in wearing them. Care in keeping them.
But it is possible for a woman to be elegant without spending very much money on her clothes, if she follows the basic rules of Fashion and is careful to choose the clothes that suit her personality.
Have you ever seen a woman enter a shop and ask for "something just like the one I'm wearing"?
––on what sustains fashion
The New Look brought me heavy mail. Letters arrived by the thousands––mostly enthusiastic but some indignant. A garage owner from Los Angeles wrote and told me that he had sworn to "tear me apart" on his next visit to Paris. According to him, it was my fault that his wife looked like a stuffed doll of the time of the Civil War.
I have designed flower women.
––on his own "New Look" style.
It is unforgivable to do what one doesn't love, especially if one succeeds.
I think we have to be aware that people are allowed to make mistakes in their life.
I brought back the neglected art of pleasing.
To manufacture emotion a man must have a working agreement with madness.
The rich live the same all over the world.
When I opened my couture house I decided to dress only the most fashionable women from the first ranks of society.
Women are most fascinating between the ages of thirty-five and forty, after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass forty, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.
My dream is to save women from nature.
My weakness...is architecture. I think of my work as ephemeral architecture, dedicated to the beauty of the female body.
A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting.
Women will be good for you and bring about your success.

Re: “He was a trailblazer,’ Cape Breton Post, Feb. 26.
Thank you so much for your article on John Allan Cameron. It was great.
I first met John Allan while at CJCH Radio in the late 1960s. He stayed with us when we lived on Main Ave. in Fairview, which is part of Halifax.
He was a true Cape Bretoner, a great husband and father, and what an entertainer! Every time he played in Halifax or Pictou he would single my wife Sheila and I from the crowd and sing a song for us.
We have many of his CDs which we play during the summer months in our little convertible with the radio up full blast.
I think it is about time the province honored John Allan and Rita MacNeil with signage at the Canso Causeway as you enter Cape Breton. Maybe they have a sign up already but I have not located it yet.
God bless you John Allan and Rita. You were the best!

Plans are under way to replace the Capitol’s copper dome.
When complete, the dome will be as shiny as a new penny, but it will cost a whole lot more.
Try $10.3 million.
At a meeting of the Capitol Preservation Committee, Statehouse Architect Barry Greis gave a rundown of progress on the $296 million project to restore, renovate and add new space to the building.
Since the Capitol project started in 2000 at an initial estimate of $90 million, the project has had several expensive add- ons and cost overruns.
Preservation Committee member William “Bill” Wagnon asked why the dome needed to be replaced.
“We can’t stop the leaks,” Greis said. “They are significant.”
Then the committee questioned what the dome — now a patchwork of green blotches — would look like when replaced.
Greis said the new copper would be bright and shiny. Within a month or two, however, the copper will start to oxidize and turn a dull brown. He said it may take 30 years before the copper starts to turn green again.
Committee member Lana Gordon, a Republican legislator from Topeka, asked if the weight of the Ad Astra statue put a strain on the dome. Greis said the statue was well-supported and causing no problem to the roof structure.
Several committee members wanted to know what would happen with the old copper.
Some of it will be sold to a salvage company and some given to the State Historical Society, Greis said. Committee member Carol McDowell said some of the copper should be made into souvenirs and sold to help offset the cost.
The job of taking down the copper and replacing it may start next spring.
