As part of the Teach For America application process, you must select and rank 10 TFA regions where you want to teach. We strongly encourage you to consider ranking a region we’ve designated as “high need.” Read more about this requirement and the five regions currently designated high need.
Selecting High-Need Regions
Of the 50 regions where corps members work, there are some regions where the need for corps members is particularly high. While all regions offer rich opportunities and have a need for exceptional teachers, some regions don’t always have the number of corps members they need to successfully work toward their goals.
As a result, approximately four to five regions are designated “high-need” regions, and we work to place as many corps members in those regions as possible. These regions occasionally shift during the application season, as regions meet their specific needs.
Currently, the high-need regions are:
As you think about where you might like to teach if you’re accepted to Teach For America, we ask that you strongly consider one or more of these regions. Learn more about the placement process.
Greater Delta: Mississippi and Arkansas
The story of Teach For America’s work in the Greater Delta is nearly 30 years in the making but built on a rich history that stretches back much further. What we have learned since our first cohort, in 1991, is that to set students on a trajectory towards access and opportunity, they must have competence in three things: literacy, leadership, and wellness.
Over the last decade, Indianapolis (affectionately known as "Indy") has risen as a national leader on the front lines of innovation in P-12 education. More than any other urban city in the country, you'll find schools, communities, nonprofits, government entities, companies, and foundations working together towards a common mission of equity for our kids.
Kansas City is known for its barbecue—and also a first Friday art event that takes place each month in the city’s Crossroads District, attracting thousands of residents. This heartland city is home to hundreds of fountains, as well as several colleges and universities.
Teach For America Kansas City was founded in 2008, and since then, corps members and alumni have embraced the possibility of educational reform, partnering with the Kansas City Public School District, as well as charter schools throughout the metro area. Seventy percent of corps members in the region go on to teach a third year; alumni also go on to lead educational policy, work for nonprofits, and become school leaders.
Idaho may be one of the United States’ best kept secrets. Sometimes confused with Ohio and Iowa, or talked about in relation to its famous potatoes, Idaho has a lot more to offer than many people outside the state realize. More and more Idahoans are recognizing the inequity that exists within our public schools and are calling for change. Policy makers from both sides of the aisle increasingly recognize their responsibility to enact legislation and policies that expand access for Idaho kids.

Traffic in Metro Manila is a headache for everyone: the everyday commuter who wastes two to three hours on the road, business owners who incur heavy productivity losses, and government officials who become the frequent target of attacks for failing to solve the capital region's congestion woes.
But there's one government official who says he's willing to take on the challenge and become Metro Manila's traffic czar.
“I will, because in my heart I want to help this country,” said Customs chief Alberto Lina, in a light moment with several reporters.
Lina, who is due to step down as commissioner soon, said he is interested to try to untangle the metro's traffic mess using his background and experience in business, logistics, and government.
If given the job, Lina said his priorities include improving the public transport system, lifting the number coding system, clearing illegally parked vehicles and sidewalk vendors, and rationalizing the bus system.
Asked if he can address the traffic problem, Lina gave a confident "Yes" – but he was quick to add that he would not apply for the position unless incoming President Rodrigo Duterte offers him the job.
Lina also said that the transportation department and the newly-created Department of Information and Communication Technology should work together to address metro traffic.
The outgoing customs commissioner is set to be replaced by former Marine Captain Nicanor Faeldon.
Lina assumed the top post at the Bureau of Customs in April 2015, after a brief 5-month stint as Customs commissioner in 2005 during the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. – Rappler.com

Heart patients rejoice. Scientists have discovered a novel heart muscle patch made of human cells which can bring about a significant improvement in recovery from heart attack.The clinical trial results are a step closer to the goal of treating human heart attacks by suturing cardiac-muscle patches over an area of dead heart muscle in order to reduce the pathology that often leads to heart failure, said scientists led by Jianyi "Jay" Zhang, Chair of University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The team tested human cardiac-muscle patches of 1.57 by 0.79 inches in size and nearly as thick as a dime, created in the lab, on large animals in a heart attack model. The team then transplanted two of these muscle patches onto the infarcted area of a pig heart significantly improved function of the heart's left ventricle, the major pumping chamber.
According to the study, described in the journal Circulation the patches significantly reduced infarct size, which is the area of dead muscle, heart-muscle wall stress and heart-muscle enlargement, as well as significantly reducing apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in the scar boarder area around the dead heart muscle.
In addition to this the patches did not trigger arrhythmia in the hearts either. - arrhythmia is improper beating of the heart, too fast or too slow.
Each patch constituted a mixture of three cell types -- four million cardiomyocytes, or heart-muscle cells, two million endothelial cells -- known to help cardiomyocytes survive and function in a micro-environment -- and two million smooth muscle cells, which line blood vessels.
The patches were grown in a three-dimensional fibrin matrix that was rocked back and forth for a week. The cells begin to beat synchronously after one day.The scientists explained that this mixture of three cell types and the dynamic rocking produced more heart muscle cells that were more mature, with superior heart-muscle physiological function and contractive force.
The novel muscle patches resembled native heart-muscle tissue in their physiological and contractile properties, and could prove to be a significant intervention in the field of cardiac studies and innovation, the scientists noted.
Eating and drinking well and giving your heart the fuel it needs are one of the most prime requisites to maintain good heart health. Here are five foods you must include in your daily diet to boost heart health.
1. Oats: Oats are known to contain a type of fiber that helps bind bile acids and expel them from the body. These bile acids are made from cholesterol. A diet that includes oats is effective in lowering the cholesterol levels in our body.
2. Nuts: Munching on a handful of nuts can do wonders for your heart. These nuts have high amounts of unsaturated fats that are good for your heart as they help in reducing the inflammation of the arteries.
3. Legumes: Legumes are great for the heart and have antioxidants, proteins and fiber. They are also a great source to get your folate requirement from and also help in increasing the platelet activity.
4. Berries: Berries are full of heart-healthy phytonutrients and lots of soluble fiber. Make a quick smoothie or sprinkle them over your breakfast cereal.
5. Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and phytoestogens and all of these help in boosting heart health. It is best to soak or grind flaxseeds before consuming them to derive maximum health benefits.
Some other fruits and vegetables like oranges, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, carrots and papaya are all rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin E, potassium, folate and fiber which really good for the heart.

KATHLEEN DEAN MOORE is best known for her books of nature-focused essays—Riverwalking: Reflections on Moving Water, winner of the 1995 Pacific Northwest Book Award; Holdfast: At Home in the Natural World, recipient of the 1999 Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award; The Pine Island Paradox, winner of the 2004 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction;Wild Comfort, finalist for the same award; and Great Tide Rising (Counterpoint, 2016).
“This is award-winning naturalist, philosopher, and climate activist Moore’s first foray into fiction, and it is not only a remarkably thoughtful and compelling look at the threats to endangered species and the willful destruction of the environment but also a thoroughly engaging tale featuring vividly drawn characters who grab our interest from the very first pages . . . Moore writes so eloquently and with such passion about the natural world, from tiny tide pool inhabitants to giant grizzlies and towering hemlocks, that she leaves the reader in wonder and awe.” —Booklist, starred review
“Piano Tide joins Ken Kesey’s Sailor Song as one of the great novels of Alaska and its convoluted coast and history. A small group of people making a life in a village by the sea: this is Kathy Moore’s canvas, and she paints a really beautiful, intense, funny and lively portrait of Nora and her new neighbors. How to live in this world? Moore lets us ponder this by way of a great story, in this marvelous debut novel.” —Kim Stanley Robinson, author of Years of Rice and Salt
“I think Kathleen Dean Moore can do anything—including write a savagely funny and deeply insightful novel of the tidepool and rainforest country she knows so well!” —Bill McKibben author Eaarth
“Piano Tide captures with remarkable perception the beauty of Alaska, the environmental conflicts that tear at and unite communities, and the interconnectedness of all things. You’ll be swept into this world as if by a turning tide, and you will love the characters—human and otherwise—you find there. Moore writes from deep knowledge and empathy, with an open heart.” —Nancy Lord, author of Fishcamp, Beluga Days, and Early Warming, and former Alaska Writer Laureate
“Piano Tide is a rare beauty, a novel whose deeply flawed characters are written with compassion and insight; a book vibrating with drama and lyrical prose side-by-side with hard-hitting questions that ask how earth—and all life on earth—will survive uncompromising capitalism. Moore introduces the philosophical ‘Problem of Unnecessary Beauty’—why beauty in nature sometimes thrives for no apparent reason. But Piano Tide is a necessary beauty. You may read it in one sitting; but when you turn that last page, you’ll want to stand up for the things we share: this earth, this life, this wild and enduring hope.” —BK Loren, author of Theft and Animal, Mineral, Radical
“In Piano Tide, Kathleen Dean Moore has given us a an action adventure, a lesson in the natural history of Southeast Alaska, and a cast of unforgettable backwoods characters. As Pacific tides rise and fall, almost engulfing the hamlet called Good River Harbor, we witness humans as well as bears, salmon, and the forest itself, fighting to survive amid forces of man-made destruction and nature’s renewal. Piano Tide is a fine read, sure to join the ranks of Ed Abbey’s Monkey Wrench Gang on the eco/thriller bookshelf.” —Annick Smith, author of Crossing the Plains with Bruno and Homestead
“With Piano Tide, Kathleen Dean Moore proves herself the rare writer at home in both the novel and nonfiction. Her debut novel evokes Alaska’s silvery bears and clouds as vividly as her beloved nature writing, with beguiling characters bound by tide and moral compromise in a fishing village at the end of the world. Moore’s story will have you rooting for not only piano-toting Nora, but an entire landscape and all its life. Masterfully told and full of heart, Piano Tide is one of those books you can’t stop thinking about for days after you’ve turned the final page.” —Cynthia Barnett, author of Rain: A Natural and Cultural History

Subsistence Whaling in Greenland
A self-governed territory of Denmark, Greenland is situated between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Oceans. Denmark is a member of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and nationals of both Denmark and Greenland participate at IWC meetings under Denmark’s flag. Denmark submits a request to the IWC for a quota on behalf of the indigenous people of Greenland, under an exemption to the IWC commercial whaling moratorium that allows for the hunting of large whales to satisfy native peoples’ subsistence and cultural needs.
Greenland natives hunt minke, bowhead, fin, and humpback whales under this exemption, known as an Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling (ASW) quota. One of West Greenland’s hunts involves the use of penthrite grenade harpoons as the primary and secondary killing methods. Other West Greenland hunts use either the grenade harpoon or rifle as the primary and always a rifle as a secondary killing method. The whale hunts in East Greenland use only rifles as both the primary and secondary killing methods.
At the June 2012 Annual Meeting of the IWC, Denmark sought not only to renew, but to increase the ASW quota for Greenland natives. In response, many countries raised questions about the extensive commercial use of whale meat in Greenland, concerns that had been brought to light in a joint report by AWI and Whale and Dolphin Conservation.
Governments also pointed to Greenland’s poor compliance with IWC regulations (see Fall 2012 AWI Quarterly), and urged Denmark to reconsider its request for an increased quota. Despite the concerns raised, Denmark and Greenland refused to compromise and reduce the number of whales sought, even to numbers previously approved by IWC parties. As a result, the entire request was voted down, and when 2012 drew to a close, Greenland’s whaling quotas expired.
In early January 2013, Greenland's Ministry for Fisheries, Hunting and Agriculture announced that it would self-allocate a whaling quota for 2013 and 2014, and that it planned to take more humpback and fin whales than under its previous IWC quota. Greenland began hunting without an approved IWC quota in the spring of 2013.
In June of 2013, after extensive debate in the Danish Parliament, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it would withdraw from the IWC as of 1 January 2014, unless a solution to Greenland’s lack of an official quota can be found. This announcement was countered by a statement from Greenland’s Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting and Agriculture, indicating that Greenland would prefer to remain within the IWC.
A legal analysis commissioned by AWI concluded that Greenland’s action in self-allocating a quota clearly violates the IWC’s treaty, and that the only way Greenland can legally hunt large whales is by securing the IWC's approval. AWI is engaging with colleagues and IWC parties to demand that Denmark and Greenland follow the IWC rules. Greenland’s current hunts can only be considered pirate whaling.
The problems associated with the Greenland hunts are numerous and include:
- failure to report times to death to the IWC;
- failure to provide an up-to-date needs statement that fully and quantifiably documents a justification for the nutritional, subsistence and cultural needs of its indigenous people for great whales;
- an increasing commerciality of the hunts, with whale meat being routinely sold in over 100 supermarkets, and in tourist hotels and restaurants throughout Greenland;
- the inclusion of the entire population of Greenland (including non-indigenous people) when calculating per capita need for whale meat;
- excessive wastage;
- the exclusion of small cetacean products that also make up part of the subsistence diet of indigenous Greenlanders; and
- inadequate flensing and processing techniques.

Ladies, want to get rid of stomach fat? Without the tiring exercise or expensive plastic surgery or the unreasonable dieting? We totally understand! If you weren’t aware your liver is the most important organ for regulating and burning fat. The liver is also responsible for pushing the excessive fat through the body. With that information being stated, here’s a list of ten foods that can help burn your stomach fat and assist your digestive system in its function.
1. Green Coffee
Fruit of the coffee trees that are removed are usually green when they are picked. It’s the roasting process that turns the beans to different shades of brown, which takes away the chemical chromogenic acid. The trees are originally from Africa. However, unroasted coffee beans are good for burning fat because they contain chromogenic acid which not only burns fat but it also has benefits for heart disease and diabetes.

I had two thrash metal albums to choose between for a slot this week. Both were released on New Years Day and both sound good to me, but I chose this one over the other, not because it was the best per se but because it worked best at getting my blood pumping, which is something I'll never not look for in a thrash album. I do like midpace thrash that chugs along with technical proficiency, but I love fast paced thrash that cleans my clock and this is definitely the latter.
Insecurity hail from Santiago in Chile and it's their debut album, after a host of demos and a split live tapewith Suicide Club. They've been around since 2016 and they've obviously been listening to a lot of American thrash, because the influences are all over the map but all American too. That's a cover that looks like it could be from a Crumbsuckers album and there's a clear crossover feel on the opener, Deambulating Future, which rumbles along like New York hardcore punk, after a neat acoustic intro, something I still immediately still associate with early Metallica.
Where We Go... Over Again is the most crossover this album gets, but there's a little on the title track as well, where it's paired alongside some west coast chug. It's not the song that reminds me most of Testament, but it's where they came up for a lot of comparison. However, there are a lot of tempo changes, not just between mid and fast but with a very cool and almost folky slowdown late in the first half. It's an ambitious song, especially this early on a debut album, but I think they nail it. They're not revisiting Diamond Head just for a lesson in riffs, they're taking a look at their songwriting and really mixing things up. I love that.
And so we go. This is consistently built off west coast chug, with more ambitious technical chops on offer in the vein of maybe a Heathen, some New York crossover vibe for the attitude and even, on occasion, some good old fashioned speed metal. Vocalist Matias Reyes just has to be channelling a Skeptics Apocalypse-era John Cyriis scream on Stabbed by Treason. It's a fast song and it does the job of fast songs, which is that blood pumping energy. I'd love to see this band on stage!
Insecurity are a four piece band with two guitars, Reyes handling one of them alongside his duties behind the mike. He's a capable vocalist, especially for a thrash band who like their sound with an element of dirt in it, but I bet he thinks of himself as a guitarist first and foremost. Never mind if a song like The Worst of Days could have been lifted right off Testament's The Legacy; I had a blast simply following the interplay of Reyes and Kristofer Vega's guitars, especially late on in the song. Other songs just blister too, like T.F.Y., and, even if I start out impressed by Diego Carvajal's bass, like on H.S.H.T., I end up back with the guitars in the instrumental jam sections.
I realise here that I've mentioned everyone except Matias Oyarce and that's not fair because he's a thoroughly reliable demon behind the drumkit. He and Carvajal are the bedrock that Reyes and Vega can build on with their riffs and solos. Even if I found myself mostly listening for those guitar workouts, I know full well that they wouldn't be there without that rhythm section behind them to maintain an often furious pace. So kudos all around to a tight band indeed. This isn't even close to the most original thrash I've heard, even this year, but it's written well, it's played well and it's an energetic fifty minute blood pumping workout. That's a good thing.

Drepung Monastery in Lhasa Tibet Tour Guide:
Perched atop the highest peak of Lhasa Tibet, the Drepung Monastery was once the largest monastery in the world and housed as many as 10,000 monks. Post 1959, a shadow of its original grandeur remains, but a tour of the monastery is all you need to imagine and realize the full grandeur of the Drepung Monastery in its heyday.
Sprawled across 25 hectares, the monastery features a majestic Assembly Hall, a huge kitchen that could serve the 10,000 monks who resided in the monastery, magnificent statues and sculptures not to mention the extraordinary scriptures, thangkas and other cultural relics.
Pay your respects to the remarkable statue of the 13th Dalai Lama that graces the Assembly Hall; pray to the 49-feet tall statue of Maitreya Buddha, which represent Buddha at the age of 8; and gaze at the sacred mirror and be cured of any known or unknown facial diseases. A holiday in Lhasa Tibet in the month of August presents you the opportunity to participate in the Shoton Festival and view the huge Thangka that is unfurled only for the festival.

If you asked anyone who has heard The Exciters’ “Tell Him” what they liked about it, they might note the bright intro, which twinkles a little thanks to what sounds someone merrily tapping on a one of those baby xylophones. They’d almost certainly bring up the vocals, belted out by lead singer Brenda Reid with a clarity that borders on digital/ABBA quality (so fresh, so clean). “Tell Him” wasn’t The Exciters only big hit, but it’s the only one they got to themselves.
When you go deeper into their catalog, though, and listen to more songs, you also hear the same thing over and over again: these ladies really want love. It wouldn’t be unfair to phrase it as Reid and her back-up singers, Carolyn Johnson and Lillian Walker, throwing themselves at the men they want. It sounds desperate at first, but, if you put some thought into when this song came out - 1963 - that flips the dynamic on its head. Reid doesn’t just “know something about love,” she’s doing something about it. Dammit. Girl is gonna go get it.
That cultural reversal didn’t go unnoticed: it’s The Exciters’ gift to pop culture. As one biography put it:
“’Tell Him’ boasted an intensity that signified a sea change in the presentation and perception of femininity in popular music, paving the way for such tough, sexy acts as the Shangri-Las and the Ronettes.”
The Exciters’ planted a bigger footprint in pop culture than “Tell Him,” and another, eager review highlights the injustice of making light of their impact: “in the USA they are lumped together with acts both sublime and ridiculous as ‘One Hit Wonders.’” They don’t deserve the cultural downgrade, because if you look, you see The Exciters slip into some curious places. “Tell Him” did more than pop up all over pop culture, and inspire multiple covers (not always good ones (and just plain weird ones*), it also inspired Dusty Springfield to go solo and switch up her sound (Wikipedia’s history includes a fantastic quote from her). Moreover, they had one more massive hit - just one they lost to a version put out by another act. If you know Manfred Mann (with or without his Earth Band), now you know he didn’t record the original of “Do Wah Diddy Diddy”; The Exciters did, a year earlier, and with one less “Diddy.”

GARMISCH, Germany — The Garmisch Maintenance and POV Inspection facility was turned over to the 405th Army Field Support Brigade with an official ceremony, on Aug. 10. Together, U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria leadership, staff and contractors gathered outside the facility to witness the ribbon cutting.
During the ceremony, USAG Bavaria Commander Col. Christopher Danbeck, Command Sgt. Maj. Sebastian Camacho and Garmisch Garrison Manager Laura Hemming turned over the symbolic facility key to Ernst Jacobi, POV inspector of 405th AFSB.
For decades, the Edelweiss Lodge & Resort used the facility as their Transportation Motor Pool. After it was returned, the building underwent extensive renovations over the last 12 months. Approximately 1.3 million euro was invested to remodel the building and restructure the layout for a contemporary POV Inspection Point for the greater Garmisch community.
“The renovation of the facility is 1-of-3 projects of that kind — besides Wiesbaden and Stuttgart — and the first one to be finished,” said Juergen Nisi, maintenance manager of 405th AFSB. “We are glad to announce that we can start to offer service here shortly.”
Currently, Garmisch offers POV Inspection and Base Support Operations Maintenance in a much smaller, outdated facility that was previously used by the German Bundeswehr.
The official opening is less than three weeks away, and will be announced shortly.

PATIENT & STAFF EXPERIENCE SNAPSHOT
Especially during and following a crisis, staff engagement starts with listening
Most organizations have never endured a highly disruptive, far-reaching, lingering crisis like the coronavirus pandemic. Health care has been hit especially hard. Understandably, health care provider organization leaders have focused on the immediate operational demands to meet community needs.
But as the crisis drags on, the emotional roller coaster leaders, staff and physicians have been on is having longer-term effects. Organizational culture is being tested like never before, and the team is tired, stressed and longing to be heard.
Our Patient & Staff Experience Snapshot uses a field-tested, qualitative research approach that has been deployed in hundreds of hospitals and ambulatory practices over the past 18 years. Our team will spend several boots-on-the-ground days with your team across shifts and locations. We’ll get behind the numbers to better understand organizational culture issues and challenges in leader and staff engagement.
Elements of the Experience Snapshot
- Review of results of engagement surveys, internal and external communication vehicles pre- and post-pandemic; presentations from recent Town Halls; rounding practices and key findings
- In-depth interviews with hospital, ambulatory and physician leaders to confirm current organizational priorities, assess degree of alignment on critical issues, and identify major areas for improvement
- Focus groups with frontline leaders to assess the pandemic’s impact on workplace culture, communication with staff, and their own struggles to maintain self and team morale
- Focus groups with frontline staff from a cross-section of departments to gain insights into current issues and perception of needs in communication and teamwork
- Focus groups with physicians to understand their perceptions of the organization’s response to COVID-19, including communication and support from leadership
At the end of our week with you, we will debrief with your executive team to provide a high-level summary of our major findings. A comprehensive report detailing all learnings and recommendations from the Experience Snapshot will be presented to the leadership team two weeks after the completion of the onsite visit. This report will focus on the “people strategies” that must be a central part of your COVID-19 recovery plan.

Golf in Ireland: Try Mt. Temple in the heart of Ireland
Played a little course in the heart of Ireland yesterday I absolutely loved. It isn’t one of the famous Irish links courses. It’s just a friendly, little place in Mt. Temple, well away from the coasts. It’s the American equivalent of that little muni you and your friends all love to play and get a cold one afterward.
It’s called the Mount Temple Golf Club, in a tiny little village near Moate (pronounced Moot). It’s owned by a fella named Michael Dolan, who farmed the land, as did his father and grandfather before him.
Dolan designed the couse himself, and did a good job. It isn’t pampered like some of the other fancy Irish courses, but it is very challenging, especially from the back tees where Dolan and I played it. They rarely get Americans here – they prefer to head for the coasts and play the famous links coures – but you should try it if you ever get the chance. It’s on a high plateau and you can see all the way to Limerick on a clear day. The Dolan clan will pick you up at either the Dublin or Shannon airports, if you have a group fo four or more. The clubhouse still has some of the old castle walls, built eons ago when an Irish chief reigned supreme here.
Look for the full review coming soon…
|« Golf and travel in Ireland: the good, bad and ugly||Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer sparked golf revival in Ireland »|
Its pronounced "MOTE", not "Moot".
And there are many other golfing jewels missed by visiting Americans in their quest for the big links courses. Nenagh, Newlands, Mt Wolseley, Tulfarris - a dream of a course - and Headfort come to mind immediately.
Anyway, it's a great course, and I have a series of articles coming out shortly on five or six hidden gems in both Ireland and Scotland, just the tip of the iceberg.

Skip to comments.One-legged Afghan Red Cross worker set to be hanged after converting to Christianity
Posted on 02/06/2011 10:19:07 PM PST by MamaDearest
Snips from Excerpt only website: An Afghan physiotherapist will be executed within three days for converting to Christianity. Said Musa, 45, has been held for eight months in a Kabul prison were he claims he has been tortured and sexually abused by inmates and guards.
He claims he was visited by a judge who told him he would be hanged within days unless he converted back to Islam.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
the religion of pieces
Prayers for this man!
Remind me now, how many Americans have died so the POS government can insult us and kill men and women like this.
Perhaps the Muslim Brotherhood will step in and ask for his sentence to be commuted. /s
The only way you can leave Islam is in a coffin. Think twice about converting from it!
This is what America is fighting for. Thank you Bush Clan.
Simple...Tell the Afghan president that if this happens, the military walks out, all aid is cut off...see how long the American Propped government can last without aid
He shall see his reward sooner than we.
Just the opposite. The only way to leave Islam is in the blessed arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They cannot kill what they do not own.
‘The only way you can leave Islam is in a coffin. Think twice about converting from it!”
Perhaps you should advise the youth, trend followers, and lost types in this country who are intrigued by this death machine to avoid converting TO it. The evil people behind this religion will have to stand before God to answer for what they’ve done and the blood on their hands.
Bomb them until they accept Jesus Christ as their savior...sounds like a solid plan. I like it.
I keep reading the headline to see if the absurdity of it will wear off...hasn’t yet.
A Quadrillion Trillion Billion Million times the Martyr than those who blow themselves up in the name of Islam.
We need to get out that nation, we’ve been there too long.
“The only way you can leave Islam is in a coffin. Think twice about converting from it!” Fine with me. It is better leave it and go into the everlasting presence of All Mighty God than remain in islam and bust Hell wide open! Our one legged friend, one second after they kill him; he will be made whole, Amen.
“Our one legged friend, one second after they kill him; he will be made whole”
His wife and children won’t. This is horrendous.
So their god is mad at the one-legged man; so these savages think they can punish this poor soul on his behalf. They have a god who needs man to express righteous anger and judgment for him. Such anger, by the way, is considered one of the seven deadly sins. It puts man over God.
And our people are dying to support such a government?
One-legged Afghan Red Cross worker set to be hanged after converting to Christianity
Islam: the religion of peace.
They make things quiet if you dare to convert to another belief system.
By KILLING YOU.
So much for the “tolerance” by Muslims.
We should impose a ban on immigration by these folks.
...he claims he has been tortured and sexually abused by inmates and guards.
Sounds like a Turkish prison. In (I may mis-remember) the movie
“Midnight Express” with the late actor Brad Davis. IIRC, the Brad Davis
character said that while homosexual acts were strictly forbidden in
Islam, the first chance a prison guard had...he did the dirty deed.
With today’s political correctness, that movie would never be made.
Salem Witch Trial...
And our troops are dying to defend that rotten garbage Islamist regime.
“The only way you can leave Islam is in a coffin. Think twice about converting from it!”
The only way you can avoid Hell is to go through The Door.
The door is Jesus Christ.
Please note that this is being done by the Bush/Obama supported Afghan government courtesy of our tax dollars. Bring home the troops!
No.....that would imply that we would resume the aid if he was released. A better solution is to cut off aid with no ifs, ands, or buts, and bring home the troops.
Surrender is your only option?
Hey, if after nearly a decade of our help, the corrupt and venal an ant-Chrisitan Karzai government can’t stand along, then that is the best evidence that our efforts have been wasted. There is a time to cut your losses.
Hey, if after nearly a decade of our help, the corrupt and venal and ant-Chrisitan Karzai government can’t stand along, then that is the best evidence that our efforts have been wasted. There is a time to cut your losses.
I would think that you, of all people, would know why there are no muslims on Star Trek.
I do not know if the central, “official” (such as it is) Afghan government gave the nod to this, but if so then why is the US bothering to fiddle around there. Either squash the jihad monster or come back home.
You mean the punishment for converting to Christianity is death???
gosh, I hope they don’t find out about some current white house residents
Call the White House
I pray for them every day - each and every one of them! Weasel Zippers has become one of my favorite FR threads (getting the hateful Islamic killers before they kill our troops). I try not to think of the Rules of Engagement our soldiers have to follow - it just raises my blood pressure. The men and women of our military in the Middle East are heroes and patriots of the highest order.
Another Obama promise/lie. The troops are giving their lives and limbs in a place where "thank you" is rewarded by potential reduced salary and benefits by the administration's democrats.....
The first shots over the bow were fired earlier this spring when Sen. Webb (D-Va.) floated the idea that military pay and benefits were unsustainable. A DoD advisory panel later recommended increasing TRICARE premiums and ending the trend of annual across-the-board military pay raises which outpace the civilian sector pay increases.
Feb 4, 2011 The VA Medical Center in St. Louis has halted surgeries after an inspection turned up possibly contaminated equipment.
May 25, 2010 The ABC7 News I-Team has uncovered serious new complaints of medical malpractice at a Northern California military hospital -- a hospital with a history of high-profile problems.
We have heard several recent complaints from veterans, active duty service members and their families, about the horrible treatment they received at the hospital at Travis Air Force Base.
American troops are fighting for those muzzie wackos!!
Kill the Taliban wherever we find them. WHEREVER we find them!
Yep! Add Al Qaeda to that though. In today's America, those who have actually killed (or supported/conspired the killing of) Americans in utter joy and jihad sit in prisons with comfort and conveniences likely not afforded the average American citizen prisoner. It's flat out disgusting.

February 15, 2016–Recent Laws Endanger Children
Marc Klaas to detail fight to protect children from violent crimnals.
In 1993 Polly Klaas an innocent 12 year old girl was kidnapped from a slumber party. Polly was then raped and subsequently strangled to death by a repeat criminal offender. This was a devastating event; one that her father, Marc Klaas, could never have imagined. Since 1993 Marc Klaas has tirelessly fought for the safety and rights of all our children and grandchildren. Through his non- profit organization, KlaasKids Foundation, he has made the safety of our children a top priority.
Klaas has been an active voice with our legislators and lawmakers, fighting for the rights of our children and to keep criminals behind bars. As liberal agendas try to push for lighter sentences and too many second chances, Klaas has been the voice of reason speaking from a personal prospective of the harm these agendas can cause.
Marc will be discussing the ongoing fight to keep dangerous criminals away from our innocent children. He will highlight the recent bills and initiatives which liberals are trying to push through. Recent cases such as the trial of local teen Sierra LaMar will be discussed as well as an in-depth review of legislation including SB18 and the recently passed Prop 57 which put all our children at risk.
Mr. Klaas has appeared on most network television newsmagazines, syndicated talk shows and is a regular resource for CNN, FOX and MSNBC, offering commentary on missing children and victim’s rights. He has written for Newsweek Magazine and published editorial opinions for newspapers as diverse as the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News and the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A sought after speaker, Mr. Klaas has shared a podium with President Bill Clinton, New York Governor George Pataki, California Governor Gray Davis; Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mayor Guliani and many other distinguished civic leaders. Mr. Klaas travels extensively through the United States facilitating town-hall meetings, encouraging innovative solutions and proven programs that positively impact crime, abuse and neglect that plague children in so many of our communities. He also counsels and advises numerous victim families and families of kidnapped children.

Screen Excellence's Enlightor projection screen is 4k ready and acoustically transparent
Steven Kim|January 31, 2009 8:19 PM
front projection setup -- where do you put your L/C/R speakers after your whole front wall of your private screening room is taken up by a screen? With most speakers, pushing the left and right channels to the corners of the room won't do the sound quality any favors, and that's doubly true for any speakers located behind the screen (where you also might want to put your center channel). Well, Screen Excellence's Enlightor 4k screen material is just for you. The screen material is designed to handle resolutions up to 4096x2160 without nasty moire patterns showing up, and it also exhibits a uniform audio response so you can put your speakers right behind it without screwing up the sound.

Arsenal’s chance of lifting the Premier League title is out of the reach of Arsene Wenger but they still have a chance of ending their trophy-less seasons which has seen the Emirates Stadium based team not being able of securing any major pieces of silverware in over 8 years.
Arsene Wenger and his players overcome Wigan on a penalty shootout with Lukasz Fabianski turning out to be the surprising hero for Arsenal. Wojciech Szczesny is the regular first choice picks of Wenger but this time around, the French tactician decided to switch it up and go for Fabianski which proved to be a good decision as the Polish shot-stopper saved 2 penalty shots in the last stages of the match.
Wigan managed to take the lead in 1st half with Jordi Gomez scoring a penalty set-piece but it was cancelled out by Per Mertesacker as his goal forced the match to continue on to extra time until reaching a penalty shoot-out.
This victory allows Arsenal on entering the finals of the FA Cup and giving the Premier League club a chance to rescue their season by securing the trophy.
Arsene Wenger has lately been under a lot of pressure for his inability to compete with England’s and Europe’s best.
“Everyone can dream of winning it at the start of the season. It is a dream open to everybody and that is the beauty of the FA Cup. Last year Wigan won it, this year you have Sheffield United in the semi-final and that kind of dream open to everybody makes the competition special. In the league you can talk and talk but we know the biggest budget will win it. That open dream is what makes this competition special in football’’. Wenger said.
The FA Cup is not such an important trophy for some club but for Arsene Wenger as it could be the difference between getting sacked or not.
Arsenal are looking to get their first win at White Hart Lane since 2007 and Lukas Podolski has said that he is all fired up to help the club achieve exactly that. The striker scored in the 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich at the Allianz arena. Even though it did not help Arsenal qualify for the quarter-finals, it certainly helped restore some of the pride after losing the first leg 2-0. Podolski managed to score the goal from out of nothing against his former club. This was his first since the start of the season, although he has been out injured for most of this period.
Arsenal will be coming up against Tottenham team that lost 4-0 to Chelsea last weekend. Tim Sherwood was especially critical of his players after the match and he is expected to get a reaction from them in this crucial match. Tottenham have not certainly prepared well for this encounter after losing the midweek Europa league clash with Benfica. Podolski has stated that three points is the need of the hour for Arsenal since they need to stay in touch with Chelsea and Liverpool at the top of the table.
Chelsea will be visiting Villa Park to play Aston Villa, while Liverpool will be at Old Trafford to play against Manchester United.
“I’ve always liked derbies. When I played in Munich, or Cologne or even here in Arsenal I always liked derbies because there’s a special atmosphere and it’s a special fight. We want to go there, get the three points and drive back home. This is important for us. We must fight for the club, for the fans and I think this is an important game so I look forward to Sunday now. It’s always special when you score a goal,” said the striker ahead of the match.
Lukas Podolski joined Bayern Munich in 2006 but left the German titans on 2009 after the arrival of Luca Toni to the club saw Podolski being dropped down the pecking order and he ultimately decided on leaving the club.
The Arsenal player has now admitted that it was a mistake for him to leave Bayern Munich and it would have been a better move for him to stay with the German team instead of leaving.
“I believe that if Jupp Heynckes had arrived one or two weeks earlier in 2009, I would probably still be at Bayern now. He was desperate to keep me. From a purely sporting perspective, returning to Cologne was certainly not very helpful.” Podolski told Germany’s Sport Bild magazine.
Podolski has been struggling to get a spot in the starting lineup of Arsene Wenger as the German forward is sustaining a series of injuries that sparked a number of rumors of him leaving Arsenal and joining his homeland club, Cologne but those rumors were quickly shut down by Podolski.
‘’That was a myth. There was absolutely no truth in it. The coach told me as such, and I knew there was no truth in it.” Podolski revealed.
The consistent number of injuries that Podolski has been suffering from in this season has forced Wenger on keeping an eye out on the transfer market and the rumors continue emerging concerning his future with Arsenal and one of the latest ones is Mario Balotelli being linked with the Premier League club. Arsenal is reportedly ready to sell Podolski in order to lure in Balotelli from Ac.Milan.
During Podolski’s debut season with Arsenal, the German forward managed on scoring 16 goals and provided 11 assists for the English club but in the current campaign, he has been limited to only a few appearances.
Bayern Munich managed to beat Arsenal in the knockout stages of the Champions league on their way to win the competition last season. The German outfit will be hoping for great omen this time around since they once again face Arsenal in the knockout stages. This is one of the high-profile matchups of the last 16 round, which will also see Manchester City taking on Barcelona. Arsenal failed to finish top of the group due to a final day defeat against Napoli. If they had topped the group, then they would have faced clubs significantly less stronger than Bayern Munich.
Podolski, who was part of the team that was defeated by his former club last season, says that it is time that Arsenal get their revenge on the German outfit. The striker recently returned from a long absence due to injury. His presence gives Arsene Wenger options upfront, which is something he has not had the luxury for most of this campaign. The first leg will be at home, which is yet another disappointment for Arsenal. After the arrival of Guardiola, Bayern have become even more stronger than they already were and they will pose a strong opposition.
Arsenal have never won the Champions league in the history.
“We know them well and Bayern are one of the best teams around, but we are also playing a good season and we’ll try all we can to turn around the result from last season this time around. Of course I know them and am friends with them – I know the bosses (president) Uli Hoeness and (chairman) Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and everybody who works at the club, but when the game approaches and we get out onto the field, then you are only focused,” said Podolski.
The former Bayern Munich striker has scored five goals this campaign.
Former Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger has come out with an astonishing revelation that he is gay. He recently finished his playing career after representing popular clubs like Aston Villa and West Ham. He has also made numerous appearances for the German national team as well. Hitzlsperger has revealed that he has so far not disclosed his sexual orientation because of the fear of being punished by FIFA. He has received support from several players across the world. He is one of the very few to have come out openly about his homosexuality.
Lukas Podolski, who is his former international colleague, is one of the several to come out in support of Hitzlsperger. He has stated that it is a brave decision by the 31-year-old, who retired in September of last year after his spell with Everton. Injuries of persistent magnitude forced him to announce the decision. He is best known for his five years at Stuttgart where he made more than 125 appearances. Justin Fashanu and Robbie Rogers are some of the players who have come out in the open about their sexuality.
Podolski, who recently returned from a long injury layoff, says that it is a brave decision by his international colleague and one that should be respected.
“Brave and right decision. Respect, Thomas Hitzlsperger. His outing is a important sign in our time,” said Arsenal striker in his tweet.
“Thomas Hitzlsperger has shown a lot of courage today. Sad times when people have to wait till they retire from their chosen profession. Before they feel other people will judge them solely on who the human being is. Shame on all of us as a society,” said QPR midfielder Joey Barton in his tweet. Many other players have come out in support of Hitzlsperger after his revelation in a German daily.
Lukas Podolski is regarded as one of the finest of his generation in German football, but he failed to make the grade at Bayern Munich. He was an extremely good football during his time at FC Cologne, but failed to recreate the magic at Bayern Munich. Former Borussia Dortmund star Marcel Raducanu thinks that the same fate could fall upon new signing Mario Gotze, who moved to the archrivals in a £ 38 million deal in the summer. At Dortmund, Gotze was one of the important players at the club.
This will not be the case at Bayern according to Raducanu, who thinks that the young player could have done well with regular first-team football that is almost guaranteed at Dortmund. Gotze has caused a lot of discontent amongst Dortmund fans especially after having come through the academy. Despite the loss of key players this summer, the team has not lost its edge and are currently fighting with Bayern Munich for the title. There are also doing well in the group stages of the Champions League as well.
He has said that Gotze is undoubtedly a great player, but he will find 24 other such players at Bayern Munich. As with Raducanu’s predictions, the young midfielder has been unable to make a lot of appearances and he has largely been on the sidelines.
“I fear that it will be very difficult for Mario at Bayern. It could be a bit like with Lukas Podolski, who also left Koln way too soon. There’s no doubt about Mario’s qualities, but the competition for places at Bayern is incredible. It would have been better for him had he stayed at Dortmund. He would have been the undisputed star here and had a lot of freedom. At Bayern, there are 24 more great players,” Raducanu told Bild.
Arsenal eventually completed the signing of the young French striker Yaya Sanogo on Monday. Sanogo has been signed on a free transfer as his contract with his former club Auxerre had expired at the end of the last season.
Sanogo played for Auxerre for 3 years between 2010 and 2013. He featured for the Ligue 1 side in 24 matches during that period and netted 11 times.
Sanogo is currently representing France in the U-20 World Cup. He is expected to join the Gunners for the pre-season training in a few days.
Talking to the reporters about Sanogo’s signing, the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said, “I am excited to work with Sanogo. He is a fine, young talent. I was very impressed seeing him play for Auxerre in the last season. I hope he continues progressing well here at Arsenal.”
Sanogo himself was also ecstatic after the completion of his signing. Talking to the reporters, he said, “I am very happy to have got the opportunity to join a Premier League club. I had a decent last season and I am hoping to continue my good form at Arsenal.”
“Arsene Wenger personally visited me in Paris and offered me the contract. I couldn’t have said no to him. I had a positive chat with him. He told me that I would get my chances at Arsenal.”
There is no doubt about the talent of Sanogo. He has tremendous speed and strength and if he is in top nick, he can be more than handy. But, his fitness is a real issue. At Auxerre, he had to deal with an injury or two every season.
However, there are not too many managers in the world who knows better than Arsene Wenger how to develop talent. Let’s see how he deals with this young bloke.
Arsenal managed a 1-0 win over Fulham during the weekend, which propelled them back into the top three of the table. Arsenal were extremely fortunate to not only come out with a victory, but with a clean sheet. Fulham had several chances over the course of the match despite playing with 10 men for much of the 90 min. Midfielder Steve Sidwell was sent off following a straight red card in the 12 min after his tackle on midfielder Mikel Arteta. The red card was extremely debatable because Sidwell did not have two feet off the ground.
Arsenal managed to take the lead in the match through a set piece goal from defender Per Mertesacker. Despite this victory, Arsenal will have reasons to be concerned in the remainder of the season. They played against 10 men for most of the match, but they were able to create any clear-cut opportunities. As in every other match, Arsenal dominated the possession, but they were not able to convert them into chances. Arsenal also had a man sent off late in the match when Oliver Giroud was given a straight red card.
After the match, Wenger said that the referee was right in giving the red card to Steve Sidwell.
“I think the referee could only give a red card [to Sidwell]. We will see [if Arteta is okay]. He played the second-half. I don’t know how much damage is done. It is a kick, a bad kick. I don’t know if he has twisted his ankle or not. In these kind of things it is a question of a fraction of a second. If you are fully on your foot at the moment you get it you break your leg. If you ease a bit off maybe that is why he got away with it,” said Wenger.
Tottenham and Arsenal will be renewing their rivalry once again during the weekend. This match is also extremely important as it could determine the Champions League future of both the clubs. Arsenal and Tottenham are currently fighting to finish in the top four, with Andre Villas-Boas’ men slightly edging this contest.
Due to the home advantage and good run of form, Tottenham are expected to clinch this encounter. This would enable them to open a significant advantage over Arsenal in the table, but the German international Lukas Podolski thinks that this match alone will not determine the top four positions this season.

Arsenal’s German striker Lukas Podolski has expressed his confidence that the club will be able to overtake their London rivals Chelsea to the third place in the Premier league. Chelsea are currently third in the Premier league after a disappointing season, while their London rivals Arsenal are further behind in the table. Despite their lowly sixth position, Podolski still believes that they can catch Chelsea, who have several points advantage with only a few months of matches remaining in the calendar. Arsenal have to overtake Tottenham and Everton before they can catch Chelsea. The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has always made it a priority to finish in the top four rather than winning major trophy.
After having qualified for the Champions league consecutively for the past 16 seasons, Arsenal are in danger of missing out on the competition. Chelsea and Tottenham are the main rivals for the fourth position. Podolski has submitted that the slow start to the season has cost Arsenal their place in the top four at the moment, but he is confident that they will be able to recover in the remaining few months of the season. Even though he has not set the world alight on fire, Podolski has managed to score eight goals in 23 appearances for Arsenal this season.
“We must fight for the Champions League places and this is our focus. We want third place and we have a lot of matches to play. We are in the FA Cup and the Champions League but the focus must be on the Premier League. We wanted to finish first but we lost a lot of points in the first half of the Premier League and now the difference is too big. The other teams are really strong so we must fight in every game,” said Podolski.


Kindergarten & School in Ispaster, Spain
The first decision governing this project is the building’s positioning on the new plot to the northeast. This strategy frees up the southwest part wholly for the playground and prevents the need to demolish the northeast wing of the existing building during the construction of the new building.
The volumetric design is conceived in such a way as to free up as much space as possible in front of the northeast façade so that it can be used as a second outdoor recreation space—perhaps also as an outdoor classroom—in direct relationship with the landscape. On this northeast façade, an entrance to the first floor is provided, the main access being on the southwest façade.
The main access is deliberately placed in the southern corner of the building, that is, the part most easily perceptible from the itineraries coming from the center of the village. The building’s volumetric outline is conceived as a contemporary reinterpretation of the Basque farmhouse typology; echoing it while moving away enough so as not to fall into an undesired mimicry. The main facade, the most urban, has two levels, while the northeast, with only one, presents a more domestic scale. Two different perceptions of the school.
The building is imagined as a unitary and recognizable volume—comprising the roof and the first-floor envelope—that rests on a lower plinth housing the ground floor. The plinth is slightly set back from the upper volume so that a slight overhang appears along the entire length of the southwest and southeast façades.
On walking from the west corner of the building to the east, this overhang generates a sequence of covered outdoor spaces: one associated with the playground, prior to the gym access; another as a covered hall around to the south corner; and finally, the covered space of the porch linked to the children’s classrooms. In addition to this sequence of covered outdoor spaces, the concept of a floating upper volume gives rise to the singularity needed for a public program such as that of this educational center.
With the exception of the roof (made out of metal sandwich panels, as recommended in the design criteria for schools in the Basque Country), wood is chosen as a material for the entire building. In keeping with the volumetric division of the building, however, different shades are chosen for the first and the ground floors. The upper, floating volume is clad in taupe grey, while the lower one presents the natural tone of the wood inside—as if, once subtracted the “L” volumetric portion engendering the overhang, the ground floor revealed the material entrails of the building.
Very deliberately, the gym faces the playground area on the ground floor. That way it can open completely to the outdoors, thus integrating with it: it could serve as a covered recreation area; host physical education classes and parades combining outdoors and indoors; etc. Given the easy access from the outside and the possibility of being used outside of school hours, the gym could also house extracurricular activities and events.
The interior spatial arrangement is worked out on the basis of both functionality and adaptability to change. For example, the gym could be divided into three large classrooms, and the layout of the upper classrooms enables a flexible floor plan which, in addition to supporting furniture alternations, allows use changes over time, thereby adapting to the future needs of the center. These classrooms are, in turn, internally connected to each other through large doors so that joint activities can be carried out between them.

When I fell pregnant, there were certain items that was a MUST for me. Today I will be sharing my top 15 items. Please note this is in no specific order.
1. Comfortable Shoes
I practically lived in flats throughout my pregnancy because I had swollen feet. Comfortable shoes are a must, unless you want to be like Kim K wearing heels with swollen feet. Cinnamon has a great range of shoes which are expensive but totally worth it! Each pair of Cinnamons is hand-made.
2. Extra length leg leggings
I love leggings, they are very comfortable for me. Yummy Mummy Maternity has one especially for pregnant women – making it easier to wear with your baby bump. You can use this in winter or summer.
Hermanna Rush introduced an amazing camisole which can be used as a sports or feeding bra. This equals long lasting multi-use camisole. I absolutely love it! I’m busy reviewing it, works so well for me with Kitana.
4. Bio oil
One thing I wanted to avoid during pregnancy was stretch marks. I used Bio Oil everyday on my stomach. I’m not sure if it was the bio oil or just my good jeans but I don’t have any stretch marks on my stomach. The place that I didn’t use bio oil (thighs) ended up getting stretch marks.
5. Pregnancy sleeping pillow
One of thee best investments I made while been pregnant was buying a sleeping pillow. Vije was comfy but this was better with the big belly. You need to be comfy and this helped me a lot. Cushi has a great range of pillows.
6. Belly Belt
This was one of the first products on my mind when I went pregnancy shopping. Something to carry my big belly and make me feel comfortable. Woolworths has one which I think is great, this belly band is built to support your baby bump, and is ideal for getting maximum mileage out of your pre-pregnancy clothes.
7. Organic Cotton Comfort Panty
Trust me, you need good underwear and Carriwell has done a great job with their product. Organic cotton is perfect for delicate and sensitive areas. These panties can be worn under the tummy during pregnancy and as regular panties after birth with comfort being their entire focus through design.
8. Comfortable Pajamas
Trying to sleep with a big belly can be difficult at times, its good to sleep in something light and comfortable. Annabella has an amazing range! Beautiful sleepwear that is perfect for pregnancy, a must have for your hospital stay and a comfortable addition to your post pregnancy wardrobe. Pyjamas and nightdresses that allow you to breastfeed in style.
9. 12 in 1 dress
Who says you can’t be pregnant and look hot?! Koco Bino has a 12 in 1 Maternity Dress which I think is a must have! Dresses are comfy when you pregnant even in winter. You can always add a jacket or legging under if you get too cold. I practically lived in dresses when I was pregnant.
10. Massage Candle
Most Pregnant woman end up getting back pain and I was one of them. Spa-Valous has lovely scented candles which can be used on baby too.
True back pain occurs when ligaments (the tough, flexible tissues that connect your bones), muscles, discs and joints become strained. The strain can be caused by poor posture, bad lifting technique, weak or tight muscles or injury. If you suffer from this, you are likely to have had it before becoming pregnant.
Massage: this soothes tired, aching muscles. Lean forwards over the back of a chair or lie on your side. Ask your partner to gently massage your lower back and the muscles that run either side of your spine. A trained massage therapist, your midwife or a physiotherapist may be able to help you further.http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a536387/back-pain-in-pregnancy#ixzz2uGS8ndf9

|Title||The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: an assessment of coral reef fishes in the US Pacific Islands|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2013|
|Authors||Zgliczynski B.J, Williams I.D, Schroeder R.E, Nadon M.O, Richards B.L, Sandin SA|
|Type of Article||Article|
|Keywords||(Cheilinus undulatus); aggregation; Bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum); communities; conservation; Coral reef fishes; ecosystems; extinction; Grouper (Serranidae); hawaiian-islands; Humphead wrasse; IUCN; marine fishes; NOAA Species of Concern; northern line islands; wrasse cheilinus-undulatus|
Widespread declines among many coral reef fisheries have led scientists and managers to become increasingly concerned over the extinction risk facing some species. To aid in assessing the extinction risks facing coral reef fishes, large-scale censuses of the abundance and distribution of individual species are critically important. We use fisheries-independent data collected as part of the NOAA Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program from 2000 to 2009 to describe the range and density across the US Pacific of coral reef fishes included on The International Union for the Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) 2011 Red List of Threatened Species. Forty-five species, including sharks, rays, groupers, humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum), included on the IUCN List, were recorded in the US Pacific Islands. Most species were generally rare in the US Pacific with the exception of a few species, principally small groupers and reef sharks. The greatest diversity and densities of IUCN-listed fishes were recorded at remote and uninhabited islands of the Pacific Remote Island Areas; in general, lower densities were observed at reefs of inhabited islands. Our findings complement IUCN assessment efforts, emphasize the efficacy of large-scale assessment and monitoring efforts in providing quantitative data on reef fish assemblages, and highlight the importance of protecting populations at remote and uninhabited islands where some species included on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species can be observed in abundance.

Today we started our day with some exercise! We chose some Jumpstart Johnny songs to get us moving! We then created some posters to hang up in the schools for the children coming back. After that, we did some work from the website set by our teachers.
After lunchtime, some of us in KS1 created paper plate faces of our friend and talked about what makes a good friend. The rest of us, went on switch zoo and created our own animals, we then named them and wrote some things about them. Just before home time, we did some origami and created our own dogs! It was tricky but we liked the result.
Take care and have a safe weekend!

Do catabolic reactions release energy, letrozole days 2-6 vs 3-7
Do catabolic reactions release energy
Consuming a carbohydrate meal will retard the release of these catabolic hormones and spare muscle tissuefrom these effects. Carbohydrates break down more slowly than protein and are absorbed more slowly than fat. The effect on glycogen levels is quite small and can be mitigated by combining two meals—a fasted and a fed one. For many people, protein alone will be adequate for the day, anapolon w zastrzykach. In order to eat properly, you need to include plenty of healthy vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. In general terms, eating vegetables, fruits, or whole grains will help to offset any reduction in muscle mass in the morning, ostarine and cardarine dosage. Some foods also have a greater effect on energy levels, such as a protein shake mixed with vegetables or fruit, steroid cycle 30 week. The key is understanding how much you eat. There may be some exceptions to protein alone for some people. However, a high protein–carbohydrate ratio can be a very challenging to eat for most people, do catabolic reactions release energy. In my opinion, eating enough calories from protein alone can actually be harmful for many people, including those in the early morning when you usually don't need more than a small serving during the day. I generally keep calories at or below 2500 per day (more or less depending on my mood), and I usually keep a portion of carbs around 10% of calories (this makes sense for people with slow metabolisms, those with a low appetite, and those who need to be "primed" with foods, anapolon w zastrzykach. Many people also tend to need more nutrients after their workout than they do on their diet, reactions release energy do catabolic. This may be due to the fact that they may have consumed too much or too little carbohydrates for a given hour when their diet was altered, which may or may not have been the same as their previous eating pattern, hgh im or subq bodybuilding. If carbs are a problem, I generally recommend eating either a small portion of a complete protein, a complete carbohydrate meal, or an additional portion of either a low-carb, high-protein meal with fruit or vegetables, or a high-protein, low-carb meal with fruit or vegetables. I recommend following these two meal-replacement rules for all people: A complete protein contains only protein, which includes both meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, hgh im or subq bodybuilding. A complete carbohydrate meal contains carbs only, no protein or fat. A low-carb, high-protein meal also contains carbs—but only if the portion of protein is equal to the portion of protein in the protein meal.
Letrozole days 2-6 vs 3-7
Letrozole is an effective anti-estrogen that will reduce the conversion of testosterone into estrogenin both humans and mice, and also will suppress the expression of aromatase in the body. It acts on both the human and mouse sex organs, including the testes. The side effects include mild abdominal cramps, nausea, and stomach cramps, as well as insomnia and fatigue, according to the FDA. It is not known if all the side effects are related to the aromatase inhibitor properties of leuprolide, side effects of steroids for vitiligo. The National Institute of Drug Abuse is developing an oral version of leuprolide, which should be available to patients in 2017. The U, letrozole days 2-6 vs 3-7.S, letrozole days 2-6 vs 3-7.

Plan B is available in three strengths – as needed for women at risk of becoming pregnant – as well as One-Step, buy steroid drug test. As of Thursday, more than 11.5 million prescriptions had been filled from September 2011 through August 2013, according to the FDA.

After a four-year, $10bn crackdown, by the time a new pharmacy law took effect, there were over 300 generic and over-the-counter drugs on the market. But now that the government has made big pharmaceutical firms – such as Novartis and Amgen – pay for the quality of their imports, the industry is still struggling to keep up. In the US, drug companies made about $2.6bn of sales last year, compared with $6.1bn by importers, according to data from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. The industry, which generates about 20% of all drug sales, is struggling to meet the requirement for all new biosimilar medicines to be in a new drug category. One generic company owner, who declined to be named, explained: "All the companies have had to make a decision. If you go through the FDA and you're a little bit off the mark and your biosimilar isn't the same as other medicines, you're out." Last year, after the government gave it until 2011 to meet the biosimilar standard, manufacturers of generic medicines including Avandia, Nexium and Viagra had to take the option off the shelf at the pharmacies. They have since added the drug to the generic list. While the government says it expects the import of drugs from China to be reduced, the industry is still grappling with its supply chain. A spokeswoman for Express Scripts refused to discuss the company's supply chain and insisted the company was complying with all the laws. "We are taking the steps we need to make sure our supply chain is right and that we have our compliance, and that's part of it," the company said. "Of course we want more people to be able to access it." A Novartis spokeswoman said that the company "recognises the difficulties companies like Express Scripts face to meet the quality requirements of the Chinese market". "Consumers can now access more quality medicines if they can access generics from China, but it is a challenge. It's not all roses, but we have done everything possible to increase the supply of generics in China over the last two years," she said. Related Article:

I live in a world no man has ever heard of.
by Alexis White
With trees mutlicolored
Animals that talk like humans but fly like dragons.
You can find fairies singing by the river
and goblins drinking wine with demons.
I'm considered an angel.
Angel who can change life forever and heal a broken heart.
But it can be lonely at times.
Sitting by the fire place and drinking tea with no one to talk to.
But I finally realized that I don't have to stay in my little cottage by the forest of Gobleina.
I could find a new place to live with people who are like me.
I wouldn't have to deal with annoying snaklins or drunk pipnees.
So I pack my stuff that are very dear to me and walk out the door.
In happiness, I look back at the place that once was called home and say my last word:
