FINANCE Minister Alexander Chikwanda has revoked Statutory Instrument numbers 33 and 55 to allow for further consultations amidst the free fall of the Kwacha.
The local currency has depreciated by up to 13 per cent since the last quarter of 2013.
The SI33 of 2012 recognises the Kwacha as the legal tender in Zambia and prohibits the use of any other currency to quote for prices or to demand payment of any services or goods.
The SI 55 of 2013 empowers the Bank of Zambia (BOZ) to put in place measures for monitoring all transactions that involve the sending and/or receiving of funds.
The main objective is to monitor balance of payments in a transparent and accountable manner.
Mr Chikwanda has described the fall of the Kwacha as temporary, saying the factors affecting the current exchange rate were domestic and external.
He was speaking at a Press briefing in Lusaka yesterday.
He said Government had decided to revoke the two Sis, which were meant to support the implementation of monetary policy, to allow for further consultations.
The minister said Government, in consultation with other stakeholders, would look at other veritable options to safeguard public interest.
He said Zambia’s economy had remained strong and stable with a real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth preliminary outturn at 6.4 per cent.
The economy, he said, had grown at an annual average rate of 6.9 per cent since 2011 when the Patriotic Front Government assumed office.
Mr Chikwanda called for intensified efforts aimed at enhancing Zambians’ participation in the economy.
He said the current depreciation of the currency did not necessarily imply a weakening of Zambia’s economic fundamentals, adding that Government would not use the foreign reserves to redeem it.
“The weakening in the Kwacha parity is temporary and Government will not be tempted into interventions that may just end up affecting our reserves as doing so will only artificially stabilise our exchange rate and make us more vulnerable in case of continued volatility,” he said.
He said Government would in the long term increase the country’s resilience to shocks by accelerating the diversification of the economy away from copper to ensure resilience to global financial shocks.
He called for the expansion of the productive capacity by investing in infrastructure development.
“Our transport network and energy supply need to expand to support private sector growth and lower the cost of doing business.
“We also need to invest in our education and health infrastructure and staff so that we build the people,” Mr Chikwanda said.
He admitted that 2013 was a challenging year which resulted in the fiscal deficit increasing from the planned 4.3 per cent of GDP to a preliminary outturn of 6.7 per cent.

REEBOK IS REPORTEDLY IN TALKS WITH MLBPA ABOUT PLAYERS' TOUR
Published January 23, 1995
"Reebok is in talks with" the MLBPA about staging a "renegade" players' tour that would occur this summer if the strike continues, according to Eric Holreiser in this week's issue of BRANDWEEK. Reebok's offer is reported to be worth up to $25M, focusing on the top 100 players, "and would further its overall plans to intertwine its brand with the very nature of sports" (BRANDWEEK, 1/23 issue). OTHER NEWS: Reebok also announced that it would shift $75M in national advertising to its regional efforts. In a move similar to Nike's recent "Iceman Cooketh" campaign -- featuring regional NBA stars -- Reebok will tie in a "Backyard" campaign this spring with Frank Thomas. "The Big Hurt's Backyard" will be shown in the greater Chicago area. Other local buys will feature John Elway and Shaquille O'Neal in their yards (Eric Hollreiser, BRANDWEEK, 1/23).


History and Design
The Rush Gundam was a prototype mobile suit, the successor to GNC-Ex and the first to utilize a GN Drive Tau.
The GN Drive of the Rush Gundam was different from the original GN Drives in terms of power generation. As the drive didn't have its own TD Blanket to use for power generation, Star Strike utilized a combination of GN Capacitors and solar energy to generate power while at the same time enhancing performance. While used to generate additional power and GN Particles, the GN Capacitor was used primarily as a filter to eliminate the negative effects of tau particles in beam weaponry.
While it operated as the same as a normal GN Drive Tau, the drive was capable of the same operational time as the originals. This was made possible due to Star Strike "borrowing" the technology used to allow the Flag and Enact to draw electricity from the Orbital Elevators via radio waves. The output of the drive of the Rush Gundam met that of a 2nd Generation Gundam, but in conjunction with the GN Capacitors, it more closely matched the 3rd Generation.
The Rush Gundam was a multi purpose mobile suit, allowing it to be equipped with many different sorts of weapons and systems, the most prominent being the GN Claws, a remote ranged/melee weapon that could be used to physically tear apart mobile suits or bombard them with rapid beam fire from a distance. Aside from the powerful weapons, Rush Gundam was made even more lethal through it’s full utilization of the GN Drive’s thrust capability. Granting it immense maneuverability and speed in combat.
After Star Strike declared war on Karith and his army, the Rush Gundam was upgraded to better counter the threat. One such upgrade was a new Quantum Brainwave Interface for the GN Claws.
Equipment of the Rush Gundam
- GN Claws: Remote ranged/melee weapons that could be used to physically tear apart mobile suits or bombard them with rapid beam fire from a distance. When not active or recharging, these would be docked onto the fingers of the mobile suit, acting as physical blades that could slice through GN Fields with ease, or operate as multiple medium to close range particle beam emiters. The only drawback to the GN Claws was that when inactive, they would prevent the hands of the Gundam from holding or using anything. The GN Claws are trademark of the Rush Gundam.
- Physical Sword: Similar to Exia’s blade, the Physical sword was a massive blade that could switch between a gun mode and a sword mode. When not in use, the sword was hidden behind the armor containing the GN Claws docking points, and as such could only be used when the GN Claws were active.
- Beam Saber: The Rush Gundam was equipped with two beam sabers for combat. A unique feature of the beam sabers was that their length could be modified by the pilot to better suit the situation. They could also be used as boomeranges, allowing them to be tossed as lethal projectiles and be easily retrieved upon return.
- Beam Rifle: A standard medium range beam rifle designed for the Rush Gundam. The Beam rifle only saw use when the GN Claws were active. The rifle could charge it's energy for a stronger blast at the cost of firing rate.
- GN Fin Blades: The Fin Blades were unique to the Aquatic Armor of the Rush Gundam. A combination of whip and sword, the fin blades gave the Rush enhanced manueverbility underwater as well as a devastating weapon. The Fin blades were connected via a long cable extending out of the handle. The cable could become solid or flexible depending on the situation, the length of the cable could also be adjusted to better match combat situations. When not in use, the Fin Blades acted as super sonic rudders, using the rapid vibrations to confuse sonar and grant additional speed using the blades. They were stored on the back when not in use.
- Trans Am System: Trans Am was a hidden feature of the original five GN Drives. Because Syrene had managed to create a duplicate of the black box within the original GN Drives, the Rush Gundam unintenionally and unknowingly aquired the ability to utilize Trans Am. Ransac unwittingly forcibly disengaged the program locks during a moment of intense rage through his Quantum Brainwaves. However the system was never used because by the time the feature was discovered the mobile suit and Ransac had become seperated from Star Strike.
- Reverse Trial Mode: When the Trial System was installed into the GNC-Ex, an additional level of security was programed within it. Should the GNC-Ex, or a Gundam, specifically Nadleeh, be stolen by someone capable of using the Trial System, the Reverse Trial would be a trump card. If the pilot attempts to use the Trial System on any mobile suits used by Star Strike, the Rush Gundam would be able to bounce back the signal directly into it, shutting it down instead. The Rush Gundam was the only mobile suit equipped with this feature and thus was the only mobile suit immune to the Trial System.
- Rush Avalanche Armor: Upon learning the schematics of Exia’s Avalanche armor, Star Strike immediately began construction of a similar armor for the Rush Gundam. This was possible because of the high compatibility of design between the two mobile suits. The result ended with an additional layer of armor that could be attached to Rush in order to maximize it’s thrust and destructive capability. Ten more GN Claws would be docked in various points of the armor, granting Rush Gundam double the amount of Claws for use. The shoulder armor was designed to contain over 180 prototype micro missles, giving it the heaviest payload to ever be equipped on a mobile suit. In addition, the Avalanche Armor removed the GN Claws occupying the Gundam's hands, allowing it to freely utilize it's other weapons to devastating effect. The Avalanche Armor proved vital to Star Strike's victory during the final battles against Karith and his army.
- Rush Aquatic Armor: The Aquatic Armor was designed to allow the Gundam to fully utilize it's GN Drive while under water. When equipped, the Gundam lost the ability to fly in exchange for high speed aquatic manuevering. Since the GN-Claws weren't able to effectively operate underwater, the suit featured two GN Fin Blades for melee combat.
- GN Arms Type R: When construction of the GN Arms began within Celestial Being, Star Strike worked alongside this project to construct one designed specifically for the Rush Gundam. It was finished and transfered in secret to The Traveller shortly before Operation: Fallen Angels began.

Hurricane Katrina cost Mid-South farmers nearly $900 million in crop losses, according to the latest estimate from USDA.
The Agriculture Department’s preliminary assessment reduced its cotton production forecast for Alabama and Mississippi by 4 percent and said Louisiana had lost about 9 percent of its sugarcane crop due to Katrina.
“Given the severity of the hurricane, the agricultural losses could have been much greater,” said Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said. “With that said, there is a long road ahead for many of our producers who face infrastructure and long-term losses not accounted for in this assessment.
“USDA is committed to supporting producers throughout long and short term recovery.”
Johanns said hurricane-force winds missed major crop production areas in the Mid-South, and substantial portions of rice, soybeans and corn production in hurricane-affected states were harvested prior to landfall of Hurricane Katrina, which also limited production losses.
“Much of the crop losses are attributable to lost horticultural production in Florida and along the Gulf Coast,” he noted.
Although corn, rice and soybean losses appear to be modest, the assessment report acknowledges that producers will face higher costs harvesting the blown over crops, which will require more time and high-cost fuel to harvest.
Short-term livestock production losses due to the hurricane are estimated in the range of $30 million. Millions of chickens were killed. Producers also lost eggs, poults and chicken grow-out facilities, which will lead to longer term economic losses for some producers.
Dairy producers discarded an estimated $3 million worth of milk due to lost electricity on farms and at dairy processing plants and might face a period of reduced cow productivity. An estimated 10,000 head of cattle were lost.
This preliminary assessment provides estimates of 2005 production losses and does not include infrastructure or long-term losses, according to the assessment. Crop and livestock producers face added losses in the form of damaged or destroyed barns, equipment buildings, fences, machinery, as well as losses associated with degraded farm fields, carcass disposal, electrical power losses and fuel shortages.
The nearly $900 million in lost production due to the hurricane compares to a combined total of $20 billion in farm cash receipts in 2004 for producers in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
The USDA assessment also reviewed production losses due to the drought in the eastern Corn Belt, estimating $1.3 billion in corn and soybeans losses in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. In addition to hurricane and drought production losses, the report notes that grain and oilseed producers throughout the Midwest have faced reduced prices due to the shipping interruption in New Orleans ports.
Crop insurance will cover a portion of farm production losses attributable to Hurricane Katrina, the drought and other adverse weather conditions this year. While coverage varies by crop and state, in general, 70 to 95 percent of planted acreage is covered by insurance in the hurricane-affected area and 60 to 75 percent of corn and soybean acreage is covered in the drought-affected area.
USDA's preliminary assessment is subject to change as more information becomes available. The report is available on the USDA Web site at http://www.usda.gov/katrina.

LONDON: The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has supported the Australian Government's proposal to offer a less onerous, compromise emissions package to developing nations such as Brazil and India in an attempt to secure a binding, global agreement on climate change.
But Mr Brown also warned that special financing would be needed to underpin shorter-term incentives for poorer nations, and a British proposal for a $US100 billion ($115 billion) package - provided by the developed world over the next decade - would be at the "centre of discussions".
The Herald asked Mr Brown his views on the Australian proposal at a pre-G20 briefing for foreign media, held at 10 Downing Street.
"I think that any proposals that come from the Australian Government will be taken very seriously, not just in Great Britain but all around the world,'' he said.
Mr Brown stressed that any deal or agreement in Copenhagen would depend first and foremost on reaching acceptable long-term targets to ensure that average temperatures did not rise by more than two degrees.
"Secondly, you have got to have intermediate goals that are agreed, and that is where … you are suggesting … [less onerous] goals [for poorer nations should] be looked at - and will be looked at,'' he said.
"Thirdly, as I have suggested, you have to have a financial deal. For the developing countries to be brought in, you have got to persuade them that while it may be in their short-term interest to use certain fossil fuels, in the longer-term interest we have got to get less carbon products and introduce renewables, and we will have to help that financially."
In New York on Monday, the Minister for Climate Change, Penny Wong, outlined the Australian plan - first flagged in March - to try to persuade developing nations such as India, China and Brazil to commit to reducing emissions.
Under the proposal, they would be allowed to set weaker reduction targets and use less onerous mechanisms to achieve them, including use of renewable energy or felling fewer trees.
Mr Brown, who has flown to New York for the UN meeting, made his comments just hours after the Federal Opposition had warned that it would not support the Government's emission trading proposals without radical amendments.
The Leader of the Opposition, Malcolm Turnbull, is in London and was scheduled to deliver a speech on progressive politics in Australia at the Policy Exchange, a British advisory group.
Mr Brown also signalled that he would push the G20 this week for a global ''compact'' of developed economies that would act as a new framework for global financial decisions. This would map out a co-ordinated economic response to future regulation of financial institutions. It would also act as an early warning system and ensure united exits for stimulus plans.

If we have to endure another remake of the horror/sci-fi classic The Thing at least we get to watch someone talented like Joel Edgerton bring it to life. The native Australian actor plays the lead in the upcoming movie that will have him tackling the mysterious creature from another world.
In an interview with Collider, Edgerton was asked about the new version of The Thing in comparison to John Carpenter‘s. To be fair, Carpenter’s film wasn’t the original but a remake of 1951′s The Thing From Another World that was directed by Howard Hawks and based on the 1938 pulp story entitled “Who Goes There?” Edgerton spoke about the specific events the prequel will cover in correlation to the earlier movies.
Whoever’s familiar with the film knows that very early on in the original the two Norwegian guys seem to have become crazy. One is blown up in a helicopter and the other one gets shot by the Americans and in order to find out why they went crazy, Kurt Russell goes in a helicopter to see and question the Norwegian base and when he gets there it’s been decimated and they find the carcass of this “Thing.” And this story tells what happened to the Norwegian base.
A lot of bloodshed probably occurred at that Norwegian base, which makes me think that this film will be littered with gore. The actor was asked about whether or not the movie would receive an R-rating and he replied that he couldn’t answer that question just yet. In order to satisfy today’s audiences, horror directors have been really amping it up in that department so it wouldn’t surprise me if they stepped it up a notch just to compete.
The Thing is currently in production and co-stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and is directed by Matthijs Van Heijningen.
Do you think The Thing will be extremely violent? Are you interested in seeing the prequel story?

Always prepare ahead prior to your trip to ensure that everything goes smoothly. To help you with this, we’ve created this article which contains some useful information about what you need to know prior to your trip to Belize.
We will discuss what type of visa you need to enter or visit Belize, as well as how long you can stay in Belize if your visa is approved.
This article will explain everything that you should be aware of when getting a visa application to visit Belize as a citizen from Ecuador.
Belize is among the most beautiful countries in the world. It is renowned for its vibrant culture and diversity. The country offers many opportunities for travelers to experience its history and culture.
If you are looking for the perfect place to spend your vacation or just want to explore a new area, Belize is an excellent choice!
One way to understand the uniqueness of this country is to visit one of the numerous tourist attractions!
There are many factors that make this country so special. It has a rich and varied history that can be seen throughout many towns and monuments. In addition, it is home to a diverse community of people from across the globe living in the city.
If you’re planning on traveling there soon, then make sure you go to these attractions, so you do not lose any thing!
Belize is a country in Central America, on the eastern coast of the Caribbean Sea. Belize is a small country with a population of about 350,000 people. The official languages are English and Spanish. The currency used in Belize is Belize Dollar (BZD). There are many places to visit in Belize such as San Ignacio, Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Some of these places are popular tourist destinations while others are more remote and off the beaten track. Belize is a popular dive destination.
San Ignacio is the capital of Belize and is known as the "Cradle of Belize". Other major cities include Belmopan, Cayo and Placencia.
The Maya Mountains cover a large part of northern, central, and southern Belize.
Visa Requirements for Visiting Belize With Ecuadorean Passport:
In this article, we will talk about the requirements for a visa to visit Belize. However, prior to getting your heart set on visiting Belize , you should know that there are numerous types of visas, and each one has specific specifications.
When you are contemplating a trip to Belize there are a lot of aspects to take into consideration, such as the requirements for obtaining a visa to enter the country. Although no two countries will have exactly the same procedure, each country has specific requirements for obtaining visas that will help you determine if your excursion is worth the cost and effort.
If you plan to visit any other country, the first thing to ensure that you have all the proper documentation in order to obtain a visa.
If you want to apply for a visa there are a variety of documents you will need including documents proving your income or employment. The requirements can differ based on the type of visa you’re seeking, therefore make certain to verify before you make any plans!
No visa is required to enter this country
As the name elaborates, you don't need any visa to enter this country.
The purpose of the whole concept is to enable an individual to enter a particular country without obtaining any visa in advance or at arrival.
Nonetheless, this doesn't apply to every country. Instead, your country has to sign an agreement with any other country to allow you and all other citizens to travel without any visa. For instance, you are a resident of one particular country named X, and your government has signed an agreement with another country: Y. So, now you can travel to this country with a free visa. You just would need a valid passport & your bags.
Nonetheless, note that you can’t stay in a Visa-free country for an unlimited period. Instead, the total duration for an individual to stay in a visa-free country varies.
So, Please check with the embassy of the country before you travel.
In the end, it’s essential to be aware of the process by which Belize visas function and how they impact the travel plan you have in mind. While this article has provided an outline of the process, you can also consult with your local consulate , or embassy for more information about the specific circumstances.

System Modeling Framework
Being able to model complex systems is a core challenge facing the development of contemporary science. Due to their high degree of connectivity, emergent structures and dynamic nature, studying complex systems requires both a reassessment of the traditional mechanistic paradigm within science and a recalibration to many of our theoretical and scientific methods analysis.
As opposed to much of traditional science, where knowledge and theories are mainly domain specific, the generality of complex systems (the fact that complex systems may be social, biological, engineered or physical systems) requires a significantly high enough level of abstraction to bridge the fundamental divides between the different domains of science. In many cases, complex systems are approached from either the social or natural scientistâ€™s perspective and statements are made about complex systems (in the abstract) that have only relevance within one domain. A classical example of this is the direct association between complex systems and complex adaptive systems made by many social scientists and biologist/ecologies allowing for the use of some implicit notion of agency and teleology which does not hold for many physical complex systems. Inversely those approaching complex systems from a natural science (particularly physics) are more used to understanding complex systems in terms of statistical mechanics, probability/information theory, nonlinear dynamics and apply the standard tools of mathematics, all of which are largely limited in their relevance to physical systems.
An increased level of abstraction is required in developing theoretical frameworks for complex systems that have the breadth to be of relevance within all domains of interest. Not only does a theoretical framework for complex systems need this large breadth to be of relevance, it also needs depth. That is to say, the development of generic models for complex systems requires both significant high-level qualitative reasoning (in order to appropriately contextualized the given subject matter) and significant quantitative/analytic capability required to gain a rigorous computable model of a given system. Systems theory is a well-developed theoretical framework that can provide us with sufficient capacity for qualitative reasoning and abstraction (to be of generic relevance) whilst also interfacing with our existing quantitative methods (standard mathematics and is particularly suited to translation into the algorithmic logic of computation) and thus is uniquely positioned to function as the foundation to an integrated language for modeling complex systems in the abstract.
This paper then presents a lightweight modeling language that builds upon standard concepts within systems theory, such as efficiency, energy, and entropy, integration, emergence, environments etc. Starting by building up a group of elementary soft axioms the paper goes on to create a set of parameters for defining sets, complexity, systems and complex systems. This paper is primarily qualitative in nature designed to provide a generic mechanism for structuring our reasoning about systems and complexity, whilst also working to provide a basic standardizable vocabulary and notation to support this.

Stones sees positives for Everton
Everton defender John Stones believes a period of introspection and assessment has helped put wrong some of the side's problems.
The Toffees went into the 224th Merseyside derby with the fifth-worst defensive record in the Premier League but the goalless draw earned a third successive clean sheet.
Two of those, which have brought four points, have come since the squad returned from a warm-weather break in Qatar, where there was not only plenty of team-bonding but a large amount of time spent at looking where things have gone wrong this season.
"The break was massively important to regroup and regenerate and to look back on the games we played and look at the positives and negatives and try to put them straight," said the centre-back.
"We always have to keep in mind where we are going wrong but, especially for us, it was a great break to get away, pick a few key points which were going wrong in games.
"Everyone enjoyed it, particularly in the warm weather, and we got closer and bonded more.
"We have looked really solid at the back. We work hard on that and on trying to express ourselves going forward and I think we showed that in parts but not enough to go and get goals.
"We have really turned a corner and we are looking on the up in the second half of the season."
If holding their near-neighbours, who have clicked into another gear since the turn of the year, at bay took organisation and determination that and more will be required against the Premier League leaders on Wednesday.
Everton have not won at Stamford Bridge since 1994 but Stones believes they can face Chelsea confident in playing their own game.
"We will approach it as any other game, go in with a positive attitude and see how we can do," he added.
"They have a better balance in their team (than last season). Jose Mourinho is very good at picking his players and we have to go there with a plan, stick to it and see how we can break them down while playing our game.
"If we can do that, put a stamp on the game, and make Chelsea afraid of us in some sense I don't think we will do too bad.
"The gaffer wants us to play from the back so we will keep it moving on how we bring it out and start our football from the back.
"We will definitely go to Chelsea with that mentality of getting it out, playing it how we do, with a positive attitude."
For all the talk of positivity there was not much on show at Goodison Park.
Liverpool created more chances - the best of which saw 19-year-old Jordon Ibe strike the post on only his second Premier League start - and it was not until the 86th minute that the hosts registered their first effort on target when full-back Seamus Coleman forced Simon Mignolet to save.
But, on the plus side for the Blues, they defended solidly and welcomed back influential midfielder James McCarthy for his first appearance since December 28.
They will hope to have Leighton Baines back for the trip to Chelsea after he missed the game with a knee injury and while winger Aiden McGeady is out for longer with bone bruising on-loan Tottenham wide man Aaron Lennon made his debut in the derby and offers a like-for-like replacement.

Manchala was gorgeous with its pristine beaches, dark green forests and the lush tropical quietness. The Grand House was understated and welcoming and I wondered at the strange twist of fate that allowed me to have a glimpse at this secret luxury - a place most people would never even know about, let alone visit. Colin had dragged our luggage out of the way and opened the curtains. When he saw me leaning against the door, he seemed to know how I felt. He reached out and touched my shoulder. I felt the sparks against my skin and I drew back quickly.
I was going to live up to the promise I'd made myself on the plane - I wouldn't let Colin touch me or kiss me, and there was no way anything would happened between us on Manchala. I planned to get back home with my pride and heart intact, there was no way I'd be a notch on Colin's belt. When I closed the bathroom door behind myself, I had to groan under my breath.
This was ridiculous - did all the bathrooms have such a lovely spa bathtub?

Lennon receives touchline ban
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been handed a three-match touchline ban after being found guilty of misconduct during the 1-1 draw with St Mirren on March 31.
Really looking forward to my press conference tomorrow
The ban, suspended from last season, was brought into action after a disciplinary tribunal found Lennon had breached Disciplinary Rule 203 in his use of offensive language towards St Mirren captain Jim Goodwin. Lennon now has five days to appeal the ban although if it isn't appealed before the weekend he will not be on the touchline for the game against Inverness on Sunday which could see Celtic clinch the title. Lennon later hinted he would make the most of his first chance to air his opinions on the ban with a post on his official Twitter account.
Meanwhile, Celtic expressed their dismay at Lennon's treatment via a statement on the club's official website which read: "Clearly we are extremely surprised and disappointed by today's decision.
"Fundamentally the particular disciplinary system in place is absurd - a system where such a case can be brought on the strength of two 'complaints' from people totally unconnected to the match in question, while a fourth official overseeing the technical area during the match makes no mention of any incident to the SFA.
"Despite even supportive comments from numerous individuals including Jim Goodwin himself, this judgement has been made, something which we find quite astonishing.
"It is clear that this decision will have huge repercussions for the game in Scotland and we are sure Hampden Stadium will be a very busy place now every Monday morning.''
Information from the Press Association was used in this report.
Really looking forward to my press conference tomorrow— Neil Lennon (@OfficialNeil) April 18, 2013

Do you put oil in a griddle pan?
Oil is essential for griddle cooking, and you’ll need to apply plenty of oil to your pan before you start cooking on it. When the oil heats up, it stops your food from sticking to your griddle, making the cooking experience much easier, and making the finished product taste much better.
What is a griddled egg?
Halve the eggs lengthwise and place them in the skillet cut side down, pushing aside the onions so that the eggs lay flat against the pan. Cook, sliding the eggs around without turning them over so they cook evenly, until the cut sides are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
Can you cook hamburgers on a griddle?
Burgers can be cooked on an in-home griddle, on the counter, or on an outdoor grill with a griddle attachment. “When cooking burgers on a griddle, it’s important to keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking, because the entire patty is exposed to direct and consistent heat,” Richards cautions.
What is the point of a griddle?
A griddle is mostly used outdoors for cooking traditional barbecue foods, such as steak, chicken, sausages, and burgers. Unlike a skillet, it grills food properly and leaves a smoky flavor. Also, it can cook food at higher temperatures to improve the taste.

Hours after former Mumbai unit chief Sanjay Nirupam launched a vitriolic attack at his party for not giving a ticket to a candidate of his choice for the upcoming Maharashtra assembly polls, the Congress has asked him to stop fuelling conspiracy theories. Party spokesperson Manish Tewari said that leaders, who have held top positions in the party, should realise that their statements should not help those who have brought the nation to this passe.
Tewari also asked former Haryana Congress unit president Ashok Tanwar to stop making statements against the party ahead of the assembly elections in the Haryana and Maharashtra and asked him to act responsibly.
"Mr Sanjay Nirupam would be well advised to restrain himself. It would be appropriate if he does not kite fly these conspiracy theories that are unimaginative," he told reporters.
Tewari said it is understandable that there are differences over ticket distribution and these two leaders are angry over it, but asked them to work with maturity and sagacity.
Nirupam, the former chief of Mumbai Congress, has launched a revolt against the party leadership saying that even after recommending just one name for the upcoming assembly polls, the party chose not to take his advice and rejected it. Nirupam, however, did not specify the name of the contender he was pushing for.
Congress also faces discontent in Haryana over ticket distribution ahead as the former chiefs of the party's units in the state on Thursday resigned from the election committees and deciding to stay away from the campaign respectively.
Nirupam, who joined the Congress after he quit the Shiv Sena in 2005, has also threatened to quit the party.
Sanjay Nirupam was removed as the chief of the Congress in Mumbai earlier this year and replaced by rival Milind Deora.
The infighting in the Mumbai Congress has been public since Urmila Matondkar resigned from the party last month. Then, senior leader Milind Deora indirectly blamed Nirupam, saying Matondkar had been let down by those who brought her into the party.
The Election Commission of India (EC) on September 21 announced the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election dates. As per EC's announcement, the Assembly elections in Maharashtra will be held in a single phase on October 21, 2019. The counting of the votes will be done on October 24, 2019.

I’ve become addicted to Pero Family Farms Mini Sweet Peppers. They’re a FL family farm operation based in Delray Beach, FL. Our grocery store sells 2 pound bags of the peppers. They are so sweet and delicious and full of color; red, orange and yellow. This is one of my healthy addictions. I keep a bag of these peppers in my fridge . In addition to a cooking and salad ingredient, they’re make great snacks. I decided to use these in Pepper Steak instead of the traditional green bell peppers.
1 pound round steak, cut into 1 inch wide strips
Seasoned flour (some for dredging and some for gravy makin’)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cups beef stock
4 tablespoons soy sauce
The equivalent of two large bell peppers, sliced
Slice up the round steak.
Heat up a cast iron or heavy skillet. Cover the bottom with olive oil. Brown the steak strips on all sides. Don’t crowd the pan. Unless you have a Paul Bunyan size skillet, you may need to do it in two batches. Remove the steak when browned and set aside.
Add the sliced onions to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to get a little soft. Add some of the seasoned flour to the pan….probably about 1/4 of a cup. If there’s not oil left in the pan, add a little. Stir the flour and mix well with the onions and the oil.
After the flour is mixed well, continue stirring for a few minutes more to give the flour a chance to lose its raw taste. This also gives you a chance to make sure you’ve gotten all the goody from the bottom of the pan loosened up. If you don’t know what I mean by “the goody”, just ask! Don’t be shy. Slowly start adding the stock stirring constantly. Anything less than constant stirring will give you lumpy gravy. Now, wouldn’t that be a dog-gone shame? After all the stock is added, keep stirring until the gravy starts to thicken. Add the soy sauce, tablespoon by tablespoon tasting after each addition. I used low sodium, you might be using something different. Too much soy sauce and your gravy will be too salty. Another dog-gone shame! After you’re satisfied with the flavor of the gravy, add the steak back to the pan. Cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the steak is tender.
Meanwhile, get your peppers ready. Wash, trim and slice lengthwise.
Add to the pan on top of the gravy. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the peppers are tender. Serve over Basmati rice.

The intensified downturn in the economy will hit central government finances more than previously expected, The Swedish National Debt Office warns.
• Swedish consumer prices fell
• Sweden will borrow 3.0 bln euros from ECB
• Swedish banks withstands Baltic pressure
• Sweden’s housing market holds its breath
• More bankruptcies to come in Sweden
Sweden's central government finances are likely to plunge due to lower tax revenues, increased unemployment and larger on-lending in the wake of the financial crisis.
“The downturn will have a greater impact on the budget balance next year than we expected in March”, the Swedish National Debt Office, which is the government's financial manager, wrote in a statement on Friday.
According to the agancy’s new estimate, the budget deficit will be 198 billion kronor (€19 billion) this year and 72 billion kronor in 2010. This is an increase of 63 billion kronor this year and 7 billion kronor next year, compared with the latest forecast.
Tax revenue is expected to be 19 billion kronor lower compared with the previous forecast, while expenditure for unemployment will increase by 5 billion kronor. The Debt Office has also reduced its assumption on new fiscal policy measures in 2010 from 40 billion kronor to 25 billion kronor.
More than half of this year's deficit is due to increased on-lending. The Debt Office will lend the equivalent of 100 billion kronor in foreign currency to the Riksbank and 7 billion kronor to Iceland. The forecast for 2010 includes a loan of 8.0 billion kronor to recession-hit Latvia.
"The budget deficits in combination with large bond maturities lead to an increase in central government borrowing, in particular in foreign currency bonds", the agancy writes.

Take the story about Montana pharmacists and state health officials that was on MTN yesterday.
It seems these folks want to buy generic prescription drugs, not name-brand prescription drugs.
“Because it could save taxpayers like you millions of dollars.”
Sadly, taxpayers like us – not to mention these stressed-out healthcare officials and frontline workers – can’t get those generic drugs.
A big stumbling block in this area is Jon Tester.
You’ll remember that Tester voted against importing cheaper prescription drugs from Canada.
That was early-January and now 4 months later we see the burden his vote has caused.
But it wasn’t just his vote – tons of Democrats in the District of Criminals voted to make your life harder when it comes to drug prices.
Hell, Montana Democrats even had one of those Democrats – a guy from New Jersey, no less – come and speak at their $49,000 Mansfield-Metcalf dinner.
So it’s frustrating.
It’s frustrating to be a common Montana worker and see things like this.
It makes you bitter, seeing our state struggle to get ahead after our congressional representatives throw us under the bus like that.
And my God is it frustrating to see Montana Democrats fall lock-step behind Tester’s 2018 reelection efforts.
I mean, he’s voted to keep prescription drug prices high!
This is making the lives of countless Montanans more difficult!
But by God, ol’ Jonny Boy’s gotta win that third term.
Hence the bitter, frustrated anger that you and I feel so often these days.
I’m sorry that you’ve got to come here to this site to read this kind of talk.
Why aren’t others up in arms over the state of this country, our corrupt politicians, and a system that never seems to change?
I can’t help but think it’s because they’re profiting from that corrupt and despicable system.
Take MT Cowgirl blog.
Kyle Schmauch gave us the news on May 3.
You might remember that Schmauch was hired by Daniel Zolnikov shortly after the 2014 elections to serve as his legislative staffer.
Since then he’s moved up from the legislature to a field rep for Steve Daines and now to media specialist for State Auditor Matt Rosendale.
And now he’s telling us that MT Cowgirl and Quist’s staffers are the same people.
Kinda makes sense.
Rumor had it that Eric Stern was forced to step down from the reins of MT Cowgirl in January when he moved from the outgoing Linda McCullough Secretary of State Office to the Governor’s Office.
Supposedly Steve Bullock laid down the law on his staffers running anonymous blogs, which is smart – anonymous attack blogs do little more than create problems for those doing the attacks.
Or is that not the case?
Because I think Cowgirl has been up and running for damn-near a decade, but in all that time the state has only gotten redder and the legislature more out of reach to Democrats than ever.
Perhaps that was the plan.
Eric Stern is an East Coast liberal, and when you dig into Montana Democratic Party finances you see that most of their money goes back to liberal East Coast firms.
Quite the strategy, eh?
Move to Montana, start a propaganda site, slowly change moderate Dem thinking to more East Coast Dem thinking, see the state get more red, ramp up the attacks, see the anger and vitriol rise up, and use all of that as justification for demanding donations from Montana Democratic voters so that money can be steered back to friend-firms on the East Coast.
Helluva strategy, and Montana Democratic voters bought it hook, line and sinker.
When Stern had to leave, it was a simple matter to get some of those East Coast Dem staffers at MT Dem HQ in Helena to take over the site.
How could they know that little more than a month later they’d be called upon to run Rob Quist’s campaign?
Most everyone was betting it’d be Curtis, after all.
But no worries.
Quist proved to be quite incompetent politically and from the very start (remember the gun registration comments?).
This allowed the full takeover of the campaign by the East Coast Dem staffers, which ensured they’d have their hands on the purse strings, the social media organs, and the itinerary.
As you know, things have only gone downhill for Quist since this has happened, a date I pretty much put as March 5, when he won the nomination.
But for the 8 staffers (who will make $68,000 by the time the campaign is over) as well as the countless East Coast firms, things have been going incredibly well.
Win…lose…either way they make money.
This ain’t football, folks – no one gets fired from their job if it’s a losing season.
In fact, as we’ve seen with Montana Democratic Party Executive Directory Nancy Keenan, her pay has increased.
So it’s frustrating.
Anyways, no new posts have gone up on Cowgirl since Schmauch sent out that tweet 4 days ago now.
I suppose it’s a little damage control mode and ‘wait and see’ from the Dem staffers there in Helena.
After a week though they’ll continue on with their main game plan for situations like this – ignore it and plow on full steam ahead.
I’m assuming that’ll be the strategy when Quist loses in 18 days and the Party has about 2 to 3 weeks before their convention.
The convention is a big deal because it allows Montana Democratic delegates to vote on new leadership for the state Party.
It’s no mistake that you haven’t heard anything about this convention – the Party brass doesn’t want you to know about it.
Yeah, they’re busy with the special election, but that’s just a good excuse to keep you looking the other way.
They sure don’t want you looking at their dismal 2016 election performance, or their monthly finance reports since then.
They already have to deal with a bunch of new rural delegates that Quist created, delegates that might not be so warm to the idea of business as usual.
When Quist loses they’ll be thinking that way even more.
So maybe leadership will be replaced, and if so…then what? (and let's not discount that the convention may be cancelled altogether this year, <insert canned-reason here>)
You can put new leaders in there, but unless they have some kind of game plan for changing the current status quo (both within the Party and the current makeup of the legislature) what good will it do?
I can’t help but think of Trump, and even Gianforte when I say this.
Both are businessmen yet both seem to have ditched one of the most important things in business: the business plan.
That’s usually how you start out and create yourself a map to success.
I hope the people that replace Jim Larson and Nancy Keenan clean house, cut staff, and minimize operations.
We’ve seen that the Montana GOP is spending about $2,000 a month on their one staffer while the Montana Democrats spend $26,000 for their 8 staffers.
And the Montana GOP is winning, hands down.
It’s frustrating to see those that are supposed to help your life only out working to help themselves.
The nice thing is that we know Montana moves in cycles, as does much of the world.
Up, down…boom, bust…the seasons change and the pendulum swings.
So while I have a deep and bitter, frustrated anger about our current situation, I know that one day it’ll change.
I think it’s changing right now, in fact.
There’s a lot to be confident about. Remember, in a few years – maybe 10 – most of these people we’re talking about will be gone.
Montana history is ripe with such tales and personas.
What’s important to us today won’t be tomorrow, and what we could care less about today might be very important in the future.
And we’ll see the same stories again and again, perhaps the names changed but that’s about it.
Heck in 1974 Democratic Governor Tom Judge illegally shot an elk and turned himself in.
Now we have Gianforte doing the same thing.
Oh, I know that Gianforte only cares about making himself and his friends more money, hopefully at the expense of you and your family.
I won’t vote for him.
But you know, I thought Democrats were supposed to be better than that.
It doesn’t seem like they are – remember the prescription drug story we kicked off this post about?
That’s probably why I’ll vote for Mark Wicks in 18 days.
My life ain’t gonna change with a D or R in there, that’s for sure!
I think common Montana voters will mostly be like France is today, though – lots of people simply not voting.
They know it doesn’t matter and that nothing ever changes.
Common Montanans are pretty smart. They can see what’s going on.
And so they wait, scanning the horizon for that one person that’ll eventually come along to tell it to ‘em like it is.
Won’t matter if it’s a D or an R or a what-have-you.
When that person comes along and tells it like it is in a frank and no-nonsense and so-what-if-I-offend-you kinda way, my God it’ll be a sight to see.
So until then, hang in there.


Dimensional and formation analysis of interpenetrating phase composites
MetadataShow full item record
The properties of interpenetrating phase composites produced by using partially sintered materials and infiltration techniques were studied. Alteration of the particle matrix with respect to particle size and the sintered network may significantly alter mechanical properties of infused network. Two alumina powders, RC172 and A16SG, were dry-pressed and centrifugally cast while In-Ceram alumina was slip cast according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Specimens were then sintered between 1250 degrees C and 1400 degrees C. Green densities and sintered densities were measured and the microstructure of selected specimens was examined by scanning electron microscope. The strength was evaluated using a biaxial strength test. The results showed that the strength of partially sintered alumina was significantly different between small particles (less than 0.3 [mu]m) and larger particles (larger than 1.2 [mu]m) at the same sintering temperature and time. Dry-pressed specimens sintered at 1250 degrees C were separated into two groups for either glass infusion or resin infusion. The results indicated that the biaxial strength of alumina matrix was greatly increased by both glass and resin infusion. Altering the matrix, such as reducing the particle size, can further enhance the strength of the infused materials. Three different particle sizes of hydroxyapatite powders, 40 [mu]m, 20 [mu]m and less than 20 [mu]m, were used to study sintering mechanisms and resin infusion of hydroxyapatite. The results showed that there was a significant difference between biaxial strengths of infused disks of small particles (less than 20 [mu]m) and larger particles (40 [mu]m) when sintered at 1350 degrees C. The strength of resin infused disks of hydroxyapatite increased as particle size decreased. The reinforcement effect of fumed silica added to heat cured resin composite was studied. Two particle sizes of fumed silica were used, 0.007[mu]m and 0.011[mu]m. The results demonstrated that the addition of the low level of small particle silica filter has a pronounced influence on the properties of composite and interpenetrating composite materials.

Over spring break, Penn basketball will be seeing many ends. Unless the Red and Blue end up with a postseason bid, the break will bring the end of the college careers of seniors Darien Nelson-Henry and Jamal Lewis, the end of head coach Steve Donahue’s first year at the helm and possibly the end of the Quakers’ first winning Ivy season since the 2011-12 campaign.
Penn (11-14, 5-6 Ivy) will hit the road over the next week to take on Dartmouth (9-17, 3-9), Harvard (12-16, 4-8), and Princeton (20-5, 10-1) as the Ancient Eight season comes to its conclusion.
The Red and Blue will be looking to repeat their performance against the Big Green and Crimson after defeating them in back to back nights at the Palestra earlier this season.
Princeton, however, poses a unique situation for the Quakers. Penn is vying for revenge after dropping an overtime heartbreaker against the Tigers in January. Along with that, Princeton is in a position to surpass Yale for the Ivy League title, meaning with a win, the Red and Blue could spoil the Tigers’ chances for an Ancient Eight title and NCAA Tournament berth.
In the midst of his final and best season as a member of the Red and Blue, Nelson-Henry is excited for the opportunity to finish the his Penn basketball career on a high note.
“This is the first time I could go .500 overall and in Ivies,” he said. “It would be huge to know that my last year was statistically the best since I’ve gotten here.”
He was even more eager to potentially ruin Princeton’s season and postseason aspirations.
“Being the spoiler is fun anyways, but especially when it’s against Princeton. If we can mess up Princeton’s season then nothing would make me happier — other than winning an Ivy League championship, of course — but this is the second best I could ask for.”
While Nelson-Henry voiced his excitement at the idea of playing the role of spoiler, coach Steve Donahue had his eyes set on what winning these final three contests could mean for his program as they continue to build into next year and beyond.
“We’re just trying to build on what we’ve already done this season,” he said. “What I mentioned to the team is that this starts our championship run. We are going to start building right now, figuring out how we are going to win on the road and obviously take it into next year. There are so many things on the line that we are excited about.”
The improvement will need to continue on the defensive side of the ball for Penn to end its season with three victories, especially after its dismal performance in a loss to Yale last weekend.
“We were frustrated with our defense. It has been something that we’ve been pretty consistent with but weren’t last weekend. I want to make sure that we play extremely hard at Dartmouth and Harvard. Execution is important but competing is way more important and that’s what we like to see.”
Donahue also discussed how his squad must to learn how to win important games even when they aren’t playing their best.
“We’re still one year into this. Winning basketball games is a huge tool for motivating this summer and knowing how good you can be,” Donahue said. “Getting that win validates all that work you’ve put in. Playing well is good, but at this point figuring out how to win, whether you play well or not, is probably more important.”
Despite everything coming to an end for the Quakers, these final three contests could be the start of something even bigger in the future for Penn basketball.Comments powered by Disqus

JUNO Award-winning chart-toppers Said The Whale have announced a deluxe edition release of their 2017 LP As Long As Your Eyes Are Wide via Hidden Pony Records. Released one year after the original on March 30, the album includes 10 additional tracks, 5 B-sides, 4 acoustic versions, and 1 new cover song. To celebrate the release, the band has shared one of the previously unreleased tracks “Congratulations”.
Previously operating as a five-piece, the current trio – made up of frontmen Tyler Bancroft and Ben Worcester and keyboardist Jaycelyn Brown – have created their most collaborative, focused record to date. Previous releases highlighted the contrast between the two founders’ eclectic rock influences and salt-of-the-earth folksiness. Here, their styles become one. Despite the album’s many adventurous sonic forays, it remains true to the spirit of their classic work. At its core, As Long As Your Eyes Are Wide is a singer-songwriter record, guided by introspective lyrics and alchemical group harmonies from Ben, Tyler and Jaycelyn.
Additionally, the band has released a 5 episode podcast titled Demoitis. Each episode explores a song from As Long As Your Eyes Are Wide as well as featuring discussions with peers in the Canadian music scene such as Max Kerman (Arkells), Graham Wright (Tokyo Police Club), Ryan Guldemond (Mother Mother) and more.
As Long As Your Eyes Are Wide: Deluxe Edition + B-Sides is available via the band’s website, Spotify, and Apple Music.

most slot games i try, dont last but a few days before uninstalling. but this and the other bigfish slot games have just the right balance of winning and losing to keep it fun. games where you win most of the time arent any fun to keep playing. and games where you lose quickly and app maker wants you to constantly "buy" money to keep playing arent any fun either. the bigfish games are a wonderful balance. when i lose, im mad, but when i win im happy. thats the mark of a good game. sometimes i hate it, but if i always won, it would get boring and no fun to play either. and when i win, its good too
It started out as a great game. All of a sudden everyone's complaining about not winning, not getting coins, and not being able to play because they lose coins in about 5 minutes. I left my tablet account because it's no fun anymore. Going to find another slot app...😕
The reviews on here are BS! If you do get a large payout the AP will take it right back from you. If you buy chips your just pissing money down the drain. My wife has games on her pc I don't have and we have the same exact ap for big fish. I've bought chips and am only a tier 3 after almost a year of playing. And the amount of chips you get for the real money you spend is a major ripoff!!! You can win 300 million easily without spending real money, but beware you'll be sitting pissed off a half hour later. I've never won any of the jackpots after playing for so many months.
Don't waste your time with this one. It was my favorite for a long time but now, you have to buy chips, you can't win or even cover your bet. They've messed this app up. The absolute worst customer response I've ever witnessed
Takes chips quickly and much less winning. It appears they have changed the algorithm to loose even faster than previous. Fun game if they would let you win more. Let's you win maybe once a week if lucky. Otherwise you will lose all your chips in minutes. DO NOT BUY CHIPS! You will WASTE your money.
Honestly, since the new owners took over winning has become less. It is hard to hit jackpot. People are g oing broke now. And because I voiced my opinion, they suspended my ability to comment or send them messanges. Don't bother with this app. And they will probably block this because it is not singing their praises.

Question about HP L1702 17" LCD Monitor
Hi, my hp 1702 monitor brings a thick line on the screen after it has worked for 5 to 10 minutes. please help!
In stead of pluggin in ur monitor into the same outlet as ur other appliances, use 1 wall outlet for just you monitor and I guarantee you this is gonna fix ur problem, if it doesnt fix ur problem, i ll retire from this business :)
Posted on Feb 11, 2008
This type of problem is may be due to the magnetic appliances near by ur monitor such as speakers etc... try keeping the speakers away for some distance and then in the monitor there will be one menu just press that and then go to degauss and give degauss... your problem will be solved...
if problem persists then may be the tube is gone just visit the technician ... he may tell u that he must recharge the tube....

Visiting Liberia isn’t a top priority for many people, but it became very important to La Jollans Urs and Ursula Baumann after they heard the author of Witness speak at Warwick’s Books. The subtitle of Quanuquanei “Q” Karmue’s book is A Civil War through the Eyes of a Child. The Baumanns were impressed by Q’s sincerity. He was eight years old when the Liberian war, one of Africa’s bloodiest conflicts, upended life in his country. They were also intrigued by the description of the foundation he established to support orphans in one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world.
“The story went straight to our hearts,” Ursula says. “We were waiting for an opportunity to go back to an African country where we had visited decades ago as Swissair flight attendants. We love adventure, and we don’t do mainstream trips.”
The Special U.S.-Liberia Relationship
The diplomatic relationship between Liberia and the USA goes back more than 150 years. In the early 1800s, freed American slaves founded Liberia and named the capital city Monrovia after President James Monroe. Until its civil war, which started in 1989, Liberia was a stable democracy and had one of the most prosperous economies in Africa. However, during the almost decade-long war, thousands of Liberians fled to the U.S., including the Karmue family, who arrived in 1994. Q now lives in Sacramento.
Q’s foundation, Save More Kids, supports several initiatives, but it was the chance to volunteer in the orphanage that excited Urs and Ursula. Their plans to go in December were postponed until February, and then finally March. By then, not even the threat of COVID-19 could keep them from their mission. They flew to Brussels to meet up with the rest of their “Witness Experience” group, only to learn that the scheduled documentary film crew had bailed, and it was just them and an American college student boarding the plane to Monrovia.
Q met them at the airport. He travels to Liberia every two to three months and personally escorts every trip. “Witness is a YA [young adult] book,” Q explained, “and, for high school kids, I seek to use my story and the platform of the Witness Experience to mentor and guide them to finding and serving a purposeful life.”
“We arrived in Liberia,” Urs texted me. “Not a single case of corona here. Hand washing stations everywhere. They learned from the Ebola crisis.”
The Baumanns’ first two nights were at SMK’s guesthouse in Monrovia, and then they traveled three hours to the orphanage in Gbarnga.
Ursula is a talented artist, so I wasn’t surprised that she and Urs had volunteered to paint four classrooms in the school. “We made them cheerful with bright colors,” she said. “Twenty kids helped. It was great. We’re also learning to make soap with red palm oil and we repair furniture. Of course, Chef Urs is helping with the cooking. All’s well.”
And then, a week later, they texted again: “Liberia is locked down. All flights are cancelled and we’ll be here for maybe another month.”
“OMG,” I wailed. “How awful. I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t worry about us,” Urs replied. “We’re safe and sound, surrounded by beautiful and loving people. We have food, water, solar power, and 40 happy singing kids around us. We pump water from the well and boil it for our morning coffee.”
Ursula added, “Even taking showers with a big ladle is feeling normal now, and we get lots of green and root veggies and rice that is grown at the SMK farm. We also have pineapples and bananas and they bake spice bread. And the people make all the difference. Sending you happiness from this compound.”
Our friends also jumped at the chance to help the kids with their lessons.
“One time, we mentioned ice cream and saw a puzzled look on their faces and realized they’ve never tasted this first-world staple. They live without refrigeration and running water, and they cook on an open fire. The war destroyed Liberia’s infrastructure. Large corporations take out the natural resources, but don’t contribute to lifting up the country,” they texted.
Out of Africa
As I write this, the Baumanns have just arrived in Switzerland, having been picked up by an EU repatriation flight provided by the German government. They hope to return to La Jolla soon. Since they left Liberia, the government has confirmed at least 48 cases of the coronavirus, including five deaths.
“Do you think you’ll ever go back to Liberia?” I asked. “Yes!” Ursula replied. “We promised the kids! And we’ll do it for sure. It was a wonderful experience.” savemorekids.org

Infosys Q1 FY2013 Result Fails to Meet Expectations
A downwardly revised overall growth projection for the year and less than expected revenue growth has disappointed analysts.
Our focus on Infosys 3.0 and building tomorrow’s enterprise coupled with disciplined execution will help us deliver high-quality growthS. D. ShibulalCEO and MD, Infosys
Infosys has announced its consolidated results, under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), for the first quarter ended June 30, 2012, posting revenue of $1,752 million.
Although representing a year-on-year(YoY) growth of 4.8 percent, this quarterly result has failed to meet industry analysts' expectations.
"Infosys reported yet another disappointing quarterly result. The dollar revenue declined 1.1 percent quarter-on-quarter(qoq) to $1,752mn as against expectations of it remaining flat," said Ankita Somani, Research Analyst-IT, Angel Broking.
Somani also pointed out that despite reaping the benefits from an approximate 8 percent INR depreciation and not having wage hikes, the EBIT(Earnings Before Interests and Taxes) margin of the company declined by 1.9 percent qoq to 28 percent.
Dipen Shah, Head of PCG Research, Kotak Securities attributed these variances to specific issues. "Infosys’ revenue growth for 1QFY13 was lower than estimates largely due to a one-time reversal of $15mn of revenues from one client because of prudence," he said.
Infosys expects a growth of 5.0 percent YoY as against expectations of 6-8 percent.
Even the company’s outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 targeting a YoY growth of 5.0 percent, with expected revenues of $7.343bn, falls short of analysts’ expectations of 6-8 percent.
"The reduced growth guidance is largely due to cross currency impact and lower realizations rather than volumes, we understand. We believe that, growth rates for Infosys will improve at a faster pace, once there is revival in the industry growth,” said Shah.
Analysts suggest that overall the results were gloomy, with guidance numbers indicating that management is seeing challenges in terms of IT spends from big accounts.
"We will further downwardly revise our estimates for FY2013 being cognizant of the effect of disappointing guidance and uncertain macros," added Somani.
On the positive side, Infosys and its subsidiaries added 51 clients during the quarter and posted a net income after tax of $416 million for the quarter; a YoY growth of 8.3 percent.
"Our focus on Infosys 3.0 and building tomorrow’s enterprise coupled with disciplined execution will help us deliver high-quality growth, despite challenges seen in the global economic situation resulting in slower IT spends by large corporations, " said S. D. Shibulal, CEO and Managing Director, Infosys.

“This is actually the first time we’ve show up against one as the Personally i think such as the U.S. audience is far more traditional, a whole lot more particular Christian, no matter if I spotted a number of Muslim women have written two out of one thing as well,” Cathy said.
“But it’s the 1st time you to definitely we now have developed facing one form of problem based upon religion because for the London individuals just try not to keep the exact same faiths that they regularly, maybe. It’s simply loaded with heathens basically. ”
Cathy told you in the event she knows the brand new perspectives ones whom will get be uninformed of your own lifestyle it share. Cathy competitions you to definitely she, Nicole and you will Thomas merely “just have very different ideas from the sex,” and discover it as a “religious question that you can use to get in touch with others, not a thing that has to be just anywhere between two different people.”
“I really do understand this that is kind of like a bit a great difficult topic for sure anybody. The thing I might state about that is that intercourse specifically appears to rating most demonized from the one of those some body that will respond to they,” she told you.
While doing so, with regards to how their man keeps modified to help you his mothers and you can Nicole’s relationships, the fresh new multiple possibilities features relished in the manner they are taken things in the stride and it has accepted Nicole with the fold
“And united states, making love merely a normal section of people lifetime, you realize. It is not along these lines dirty, filthy issue so you’re able to us. Sure, you will find physical cravings around, but it is an organic term as well and it is a method of building closeness and bonds and it is not something we get a hold of because problematic,” Cathy extra.
Nicole, Thomas and you can Cathy all are pupils from divorced mothers, hence Cathy claims she sees a different sort of change about stigma trailing polyamory and you can morally non-monogamous relationships and you will thinks an element of the reason at the rear of someone are open that have examining the issue is linked for the divorce case rates certainly maried people.
“Over fifty percent off marriages end up in split up and you may 55 per cent of those cite unfaithfulness once the major reason for the divorce or separation and you may naturally that’s quite citas en lÃnea Ã©lite a lot,” said Cathy. “With the rest of them are most likely advising fibs otherwise telling lays about what the reason try making it naturally an epidemic situation and it’s really a thing that people that are broadening upwards now once the adults would not want just like the a separation and divorce, long lasting need, is truly destructive to parents and kids particularly.”
She went on: “Of course, if people college students become adults they want to carry out acts differently. Thus i thought the fresh greeting that’s coming nowadays is coming just like the an alternate age bracket are decision-making precisely how needed to accomplish things in a different way, that’s helpful.”
Plus it was just like a beautiful feel getting your truth be told there with us and you will sharing that sense as the children, basically, in place of a love,” Nicole gushed, adding, “That is simply really warming
I am sorry that individuals would upset some individuals inside, however, fundamentally [it’s] simply because you will find a different sort of selection of beliefs which can be governing the way that i act.”
“It just goes organically and most has just as soon as we was in fact indeed flown to L.An effective. towards ‘Reddish Table-talk,’ Cathy and you may Thomas’ guy arrived as well. ”
Cathy agreed and additional quoted the lack of guidance accessible to the previous age group because the a potential reason why a main-stream skills of lifetime have not yet become, in 2019.
“I do believe it’s simply coming from totally different universities out of think – i believe that. We like to practice distinctions out of opinions because yields discussion and you can argument stimulates discussions. Which can be education, you realize.”
