Fact Sheets: The Faith Community & HIV/AIDS and An Interfaith Declaration
American Association for World Health Dec. 1, 1999
American faith communities have launched the single largest US response in the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with programs organized by at least 5,000 formal and informal faith-based HIV/AIDS organizations. Their actions are creating new models for cooperation among diverse groups, including the forging of new partnerships among religious, secular, and philanthropic organizations. Faith groups are playing critical roles in HIV/AIDS prevention, education and support.
As more faith communities begin to speak out and embrace the AIDS issue, other religious organizations continue to be silent about the epidemic or remain paralyzed by the issues that AIDS presents.
What is a faith community?
According to the AIDS National Interfaith Network (ANIN), the term "communities of faith" is a broad one, meant to encompass a group organized around any set of beliefs or practices that involve a belief in a higher power or order, a larger organizing principle for life and the universe, or a system or code that links our values and actions to the idea that there is reason and purpose to our existence on Earth.
Faith-based responses to AIDS take diverse forms and exist at all levels. Some involve single denominations or communities, while others are interfaith programs. Many programs originated in individual congregations and have evolved into separate agencies, incorporating multiple groups.
Faith-based programs provide members with a way to express their faith and give of their energy and talents. Interfaith programs provide opportunities to link personal values to those of others. [See the Interfaith Declaration.]
Community responses
Most faith-based services at the community level focus on primary care or support services. Some congregations have included HIV prevention and education programs.
There are numerous examples of highly successful community-level services organized and funded by local faith communities or by interfaith coalitions. Their ministries include food and meal services, food banks, pastoral care and counseling, shelters for homeless HIV-positive women and their children, drop-in day care centers, hospices, housing, support services, training of care providers, support groups, substance abuse ministries and AIDS education programs.
National responses
In the spirit of social justice, many faith-based organizations have established national networks to coordinate AIDS services among their members. Following are some examples of these national responses:
The Balm in Gilead represents the seven historic African-American denominations. It provides leadership for the black church's response to HIV/AIDS in America.
The National Catholic AIDS Network hosts an annual national Catholic HIV/AIDS Ministry Conference and has developed a new HIV/AIDS resource entitled "Many Threads, One Weave."
The Joint Committee on AIDS of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the Central Conference of American Rabbis produced the video "Jewish Responses to AIDS."
The National Episcopal AIDS Coalition distributed 100,000 copies of a federal report on AIDS to Episcopal parishes, dioceses and schools. They designed HIV/AIDS prevention materials through their "Teens for AIDS" peer education program.
The Buddhist AIDS Project networks Buddhist communities and existing AIDS services with Buddhist resources. It provides free information on resources and alternative HIV/AIDS services.
The United Methodist Church's AIDS Ministry Network operates the Computerized AIDS Ministry Resource Electronic Bulletin Board to increase communication among AIDS-involved persons.
The Presbyterian AIDS Network sponsored a national conference to train care teams in the support and care of the HIV-positive and their families.
The United Church of Christ has written a full curriculum on HIV/AIDS prevention, graded for all age levels, from pre-school through senior citizens. It is entitled "Affirming Ourselves, Saving Lives."
A national newsletter is designed to increase communication and linkages among American Muslims affected by HIV/AIDS.
AIDS National Interfaith Network was created by diverse faith leaders to foster communication and education about HIV/AIDS among various religious communities. They also convene the Council of National Religious AIDS Networks, comprised of 14 national faith-based organizations.
An Interfaith Declaration
In an effort to develop an appropriate response to HIV/AIDS from the faith community, the Council of National Religious AIDS Networks, an interfaith coalition, came together in 1993. They developed the following statement, portions of which were taken from The African-American Clergy's Declaration of War on HIV/AIDS (The Balm in Gilead Inc., 1994) and from "The Atlanta Declaration" (AIDS National Interfaith Network, 1989). Communities are welcome to adapt this or use it as a model.
We are members of different faith communities called by God to affirm a life of hope and healing in the midst of HIV/AIDS.
The enormity of the pandemic itself has compelled us to join forces despite our differences of belief. Our traditions call us to embody and proclaim hope, and to celebrate life and healing in the midst of suffering.
AIDS is an affliction of the whole human family, a condition in which we all participate. It is a scandal that many people suffer and grieve in secret. We seek hope amidst the moral and medical tragedies of this pandemic in order to pass on hope for generations to come.
We recognize the fact that there have been barriers among us based on religion, race, class, age, nationality, physical ability, gender and sexual orientation which have generated fear, persecution and even violence. We call upon all sectors of our society, particularly our faith communities, to adopt as highest priority the confrontation of racism, classism, ageism, sexism and homophobia.
As long as one member of the human family is afflicted, we all suffer. In that spirit, we declare our response to the AIDS pandemic:
We are called to love: God does not punish with sickness or disease but is present together with us as the source of our strength, courage and hope. The God of our understanding is, in fact, greater than AIDS.
We are called to compassionate care: We must assure that all who are affected by the pandemic [regardless of religion, race, class, age, nationality, physical ability, gender or sexual orientation] will have access to compassionate, non-judgmental care, respect, support and assistance.
We are called to witness and do justice: We are committed to transform public attitudes and policies, supporting the enforcement of all local and federal laws to protect the civil liberties of all persons with AIDS and other disabilities. We further commit to speak publicly about AIDS prevention and compassion for all people.
We promote prevention: Within the context of our respective faiths, we encourage accurate and comprehensive information for the public regarding HIV transmission and means of prevention. We vow to develop comprehensive AIDS prevention programs for our youth and adults.
We acknowledge that we are a global community: While the scourge of AIDS is devastating to the United States, it is much greater in magnitude in other parts of the world community. We recognize our responsibility to encourage AIDS education and prevention policies, especially in the global religious programs we support.
We deplore the sins of intolerance and bigotry: AIDS is not a "gay" disease. It affects men, women and children of all races. We reject the intolerance and bigotry that have caused many to deflect their energy, blame those infected, and become preoccupied with issues of sexuality, worthiness, class status or chemical dependency.
We challenge our society: Because economic disparity and poverty are major contributing factors in the AIDS pandemic and barriers to prevention and treatment, we call upon all sectors of society to seek ways of eliminating poverty in a commitment to a future of hope and security.
We are committed to action: We will seek ways, individually and within our faith communities, to respond to the needs around us.

Total platforms 'face shutdown' as workers vote to strike
North Sea workers are expected to go on strike next month in a dispute with Total over pay and working hours.
By David McPhee
Total's Elgin PUQ platform, pictured right, with a Valaris rig alongside.
The Unite trade union said industrial action by its members could halt production on the Alwyn, Dunbar and Elgin rigs.
Total said it had spoken to workers and believed a "negotiated solution" could be found.
The dispute centres on a wage review outlined by Total and concerns that it may force workers to increase offshore working time.
Unite said workers on the three rigs had voted "overwhelmingly" in favour of strike action, while providing a 100% "mandate" for industrial action short of strike.
Dates for industrial action will be announced early next week.
Unite regional officer Wullie Wallace said: "The overwhelming vote in favour of strike action demonstrates our members' anger at Total's proposals.
"Our members simply want to be properly paid for the work they undertake in a dangerous and difficult environment.
"Total's plans to force workers to spend even longer offshore would drive a coach and horses through workers' work/life balance and would result in them spending even less time with family, friends and loved ones. This raises serious health and wellbeing concerns.
"There is still time for industrial action to be avoided and Unite's door remains open if Total is prepared to make a renewed offer and return to the negotiating table."
Last week, Unite said 96.8% of its members at Total E&P UK's Shetland Gas Plant had backed industrial action.
The ballots were called after Total proposed switching rotas from two weeks on, three weeks off to three on, three off.
Jean-Luc Guiziou, managing director of Total's UK business, said: "Our workforce at the Shetland Gas Plant and on the Elgin, Alwyn and Dunbar platforms do a very good job and I want this dispute resolved. I know from talking to our workforce that we can find a negotiated solution.
"We have started a structured process of meetings and workshops that will hopefully allow us to reach a consensus. By moving to a 3/3 rota, we'll be in a much stronger place to grow our business and enhance operational excellence as we emerge from the recent downturn.
"However I also believe that we will only move forward together, so I look forward to a constructive dialogue with our offshore staff and their representatives."

We have described in this reported work a new method in the synthesis of cis-1,5-dimethyl -3-oxabicyclo [3.1.0] hexane-2,4-dione in good yield.
Optimization of practical conditions leads to obtain 1,3-cyclopropanedicarboxylic anhydrides as important precursors of functionalized cyclopropane derivatives.
The condensation of 2-chloropropanoic acid with ethyl methacrylate using (2M) LDA dissolved in hexane and THF at (-80°C), and the treatment with acetyl chloride permit to obtain the substituted 1,3- cyclopropanedicarboxylic anhydride .
We have proceeded to the synthesis of cis-1,5-dimethyl -3-oxabicyclo [3.1.0] hexane-2,4-dione as functionalized organic compound with high efficiency ,taking into account the regioselectivity of carbanion attack to double bond activated by an electrophilic group.
Using (2M) LDA dissolved in hexane and THF at (-80°C) is a good way to afford the enantioselective substituted 1,3- cyclopropanedicarboxylic anhydrides.
Keywords: Cis-3-oxabicyclo, LDA, Cyclopropanedicarboxylic anhydrides, Condensation, Regioselectivity, Electrophilic.

Indian restaurant guide
Milwaukee is home to many wonderful Indian restaurants, and here's a list of 'em.
By Molly Snyder Senior Writer Published Oct 26, 2018 at 11:26 AM Photography: Royal Brevvaxling
Season's eatings! The weather may be getting colder, but Dining Month on OnMilwaukee is just cooking up, dishing out your winning picks in this year's Best of Dining poll. Dining Month is brought to you by Fein Brothers, your premier food service equipment and supply dealer in Wisconsin since 1929. Congratulations to all of the winners, and happy eating for all those who voted! See all the winners for the month so far here.
One of the best aspects of Indian food is that it appeases meat eaters and vegetarians alike, and whether you order a lamb, beef or chicken dish – or one made with potatoes or lentils – the eating experience is equally as satisfying.
Indian dishes are usually presented in small serving vessels and self-scooped over basmati rice, which is usually served "family style" at the table. Sauces, called chutneys, are used as condiments.
Many to most Indian restaurants offer a buffet – usually during lunch and on weekends – which is the best way for newbies to familiarize with Indian cuisine.
Indian bread, called naan, is available stuffed or plain, and is ideal as a "side," or as a way to transport food to mouth, similar to Ethiopian dining. Traditionally, Indian food was not eaten with utensils, but in modern India, and definitely in Western Indian restaurants, silverware is used.
Some say Indian food is an acquired taste due to the combination of spices used like curry, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg, but for others, the subtle and striking flavors are the very reason they crave Indian food.
In any case, Indian food is a highly evolved style of cooking that's been around for 3,000 years. Lucky for us, Milwaukee is home to many great Indian food restaurants, so whether it's already a favorite, or you want to experiment with new tastes, here's a guide to local Indian eateries.

"Hi, my name is Sharon Hollier. I am in my 40's and live in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.
I first was diagnosed with M.E. in 2000 and in 2004 I managed my symptoms so well that I was able to work part time but started relapsing in 2008 and had to give up working in 2010.
My teenage son had to give up school at the age of 12 because he also has M.E. He uses the internet on his computer to learn, research, play and communicate with his friends in their homes. I have always wanted to do something crazy for an M.E. charity and was inspired by Jessie J, on Comic Relief, to have my head shaved like hers. I'm having my hair shaved to a number one on the trimmers, not going totally bald.
My regular hair dresser will be doing the deed in her salon on Sunday 12th May 3pm at Cut Loose Hair Dressers, Hertford. I have been through a lot since I first had my hair cut there. I've also been through many different styles and colours. Tarnia (the proprietor) and her staff have always been supportive. I feel that as they have been there with me through my ups and downs, it would be appropriate to let them shave my hair.
I get quite emotional going to other charity events and thinking that my son is house bound with M.E. and there is little that could be done for him. This is my chance to raise some money and awareness for an M.E. Charity.
So note it in your diary: My Big Shave will be 12th May at 3pm at Cut Loose hair salon, 30 Fleming Crescent, Hertford, SG14 2DJ.

Remember that an extra 25% in Gift Aid is added to your donation if you are a UK tax-payer.
Please see the The Big Shave 2013 website for more details of this event for M.E. awareness week 6th - 12th May 2013 and if you would like to take part. Amy Hanson urged, "Please share with your friends, family, neighbours, even the neighbours dog! It would be great to raise as much as possible".

A skin tag – or acrochordon – is a small flap of tissue connected to the rest of the skin by a stalk. Skin tags can occur on the neck, back, eyelids, armpits, chest, and groin or under the breasts. They are most commonly seen on women and older people and are especially common in those who are overweight. Pregnant women are also susceptible to skin tags because they can be caused by an increase in hormones.
Skin tags are usually small – about 2 to 5 millimeters in diameter – but some can become as large as 5 centimeters (2 inches) in diameter. Unlike warts, which skin tags can resemble, skin tags are not contagious.
Skin tags themselves are harmless and painless, but they can become irritated if something like jewelry or clothing repeatedly rubs them. They can occur along with a condition called acanthosis nigricans that affects people who are overweight. In acanthosis nigricans, the patient's skin becomes thickened, velvety, and dark, and the changes typically affect creases and body folds, which are usually in the neck, groin, and armpits. Skin tags are also seen in people with diabetes.
Skin tags are technically a type of growth or tumor, but they are usually benign. If a skin tag grows, bleeds, or changes color, the patient should get a biopsy to rule out causes like cancer. Also, other skin conditions might mimic skin tags. Some types of skin cancer may look like skin tags. Other look-alikes can include nevus lipomatosus, neurofibromas, warts, cysts, moles, and seborrheic keratoses. While many of these conditions are harmless, some are not and should be examined by a dermatologist.
There is some evidence linking skin tags and low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. Researchers also believe that skin tags are bunches of collagen and blood vessels that have been trapped in unusually thick bits of skin. This is common in steroid users, as steroids cause collagen fibers to bind together and thus cause skin tags to form.
Skin tags are not usually cause for concern, but they should be checked out by a dermatologist if they are bleeding, irritated or twisted. Skin tags should also be examined if they appear suddenly, especially in large number or if they are larger than a pencil eraser.
If you're concerned about new or existing skin tags, our medical team at Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center can examine them. We can determine if they are simply excess skin or something more serious. We can also offer skin tag removal if necessary. Contact Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center today to schedule your consultation, or stop by our Windermere office.

As Canada's premier provider of fleet leasing and management programs, Foss National is always seeking new strategies for growing their client base. They came to Red Rocket seeking a new website that would better engage site visitors, turn more visitors into sales prospects, and reward existing clients for return visits. They wanted to refresh its messaging and to reorganize the site to feature their solutions-focused blog and white papers.
Before we could improve Foss National's engagement with their site visitors, we needed a clear idea of who those visitors are. Foss National serves many fleet-leasing markets, from provincial governments to small plumbing companies with a couple of service vans. The breadth of their client base is challenging. Instead of taking up too much time and budget, we came up with a research strategy that was practical, effective. We used our tools to examine the habits of visitors to the legacy website: by tracking their past behaviours, we determined which pages they visited, how they navigated the site, and how they found the information they sought. We also discovered which keywords were most popularly used in searches.
With that data in hand, we could devise strategies for simplifying their interactions and making their visits more rewarding, and making searches more successful.
We exhaustively researched the pathways that visitors followed when visiting the legacy website. We tracked which pages they visited and how they navigated the site. This revealed which pages, and what information, was most valuable. We also determined which keywords and word combinations were most popularly used to find the information that visitors searched for.
The pathway data gave us guidance in designing a user-friendly site architecture that simplifies the browsing experience and makes it more rewarding and meaningful. The keyword data helped us design a search-engine-optimized (SEO) site that helps search engines and draws in new prospects.
The previous Foss National website was successful in generating leads, but we wanted to increase its effectiveness.
Working with Foss National, we clarified the stages of the buyer's journey, and added specific calls-to-action to respond to the needs of each stage.

HIV success lessons for cancer fight

Last Sunday Kenya joined the global community to mark the World Aids Day.
As is always the commemoration provided an opportunity for the country to take stock of progress made in the fight against a disease that was once considered a 'nightmare.'
In the mid 90s, the prevalence (percentage of people living with HIV) was estimated to be about 10 percent with over 300,000 new infections annually among adults.
Stories were told of 'ghost' villages with only the elderly and orphaned children left behind. Most homesteads in worst hit areas were dotted with fresh graves of young people in their productive years who had been wiped away by the virus.
Everyone feared the disease. People whispered in low tones about it, for fear that talking about the HIV loudly, would invite the disease into their homes.

Scientists were equally puzzled by the disease, which was claiming lives much faster than the pace it was taking to understand the virus and find solutions to curb it. The situation seemed hopeless.
But 20 years down the line, a lot has changed — for better — in the HIV arena globally. In Kenya, the prevalence is now down to 4.7 percent, with the number of new annual infections reducing to less than 50, 000. Aids-related deaths have also been on a downward trend, falling from 60,000 in 2014 to 28,000 in 2019.
People are now living longer and healthy lives with the disease, thanks to behavioural changes and breakthroughs in the management of the disease.
As this happens, Kenya is once again staring at the looming cancer crises.
Recently, during the Cancer Awareness Month in October, media were awash with gloomy stories that portrayed the havoc that the disease is causing in communities.
The statistics are still frightening. Approximately 47, 887 people get the disease annually while 32,987 die from it. For many people, cancer has become the 'monster' that HIV was. And many view it as a death sentence.
As Kenya comes to terms with the cancer challenge, experts note that there is a lot to draw from the HIV success story to help in the fight against cancer.
Addressing a health problem starts with the realisation that a particular disease is an issue, followed by a commitment to tackle it with all means possible.
This happened when HIV/Aids was declared a national disaster in 1998. It led to the creation of the National Aids and Sexually Transmitted Infections Control Programme (NASCOP). This special unit was well funded to co-ordinate efforts aimed at reducing the burden of HIV.
Inasmuch as cancer is recognised as a disease of major concern to the country, health experts note that it is yet to receive the same attention.
The National Cancer Institute, mandated to oversee all activities concerning the disease, struggles with insufficient funding and inadequate staff.
Professor Lawrence Banks, the Director General for the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), who has done extensive research on cancer, notes that public awareness for disease prevention was instrumental in the fight against HIV. And can also play a significant role in cancer control.
The numerous resources channelled towards advocacy initiatives, from both the public and non-governmental organisations, enabled many Kenyans to become knowledgeable about the disease- how it spreads and ways of averting infection or managing the condition once someone is infected.
The messages were reaching people of all ages — in both rural and urban areas — including school pupils that had HIV clubs in their learning institutions.
Mr David Makumi, Chairman of the Kenya Network of Cancer Organisations says that much more resources are required for awareness about cancer, its symptoms and risk factors such as obesity, smoking and high alcohol intake.
"Screening for cancer and early diagnosis saves life. But not many people know that. So, we still have many people coming to hospital when the disease is already at advanced stages. With awareness, this can change."
Aside from disease prevention, health experts note that enhanced public awareness also helps to put pressure on governments, international bodies and other stakeholders to pay attention to health challenges.
This was useful in the HIV fight. And has also been instrumental in pushing for reforms in cancer care.
Professor Banks notes that sustained awareness creation, eventually creates a demand in services that need to be availed for disease control efforts to be effective.
In HIV care, for instance, people are more receptive to calls for early diagnosis and treatment because the infrastructure and systems supporting these initiatives have been strengthened.
For example, HIV testing is free of charge and within easy reach for people in both rural and urban areas.
Upon getting their results, those who test positive are also assured of proper treatment — at no cost — through the use of Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs).
In addition, there are many programmes offering psychosocial (counselling) and nutrition support for those affected.
When it comes to cancer, the scenario is totally different. Prevention messages urge Kenyans to go for early check-ups yet the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) does not support preventive screening for seemingly healthy populations.
It only meets costs for screening procedures (like pap smears and mammograms) if the tests are recommended for treatment or diagnostic purposes by doctors.
"By the time people feel sick and go to hospital, it may already be too late. So, the focus should be on reaching the healthy population before they become sick," notes Mr Makumi.
With regards to treatment, the NHIF has a limit on the amount given for treatment, which varies from one person to another. As such, families are usually forced to dig deep into their pockets or fundraise so as to supplement what they get.
"We see people still asking for millions when they have a cancer patient because NHIF money isn't enough. This is scary and it makes people shy away from tests out of fear of the suffering they imagine they will go through when diagnosed with cancer," says Maureen Njoki, a banker who has participated in numerous cancer fundraising events.

Venezuela On The Precipice Of Civil War As The Economy Collapses
By Jeffrey Hagenmeier May 10, 2017
Anti-government protests in Caracas, the national capital of Venezuela.
The economic downward spiral for Venezuela is reaching a critical stage. Desperate citizens wait in line for hours, just for the opportunity to buy dwindling supplies of basic food and provisions. As the authoritarian regime clings to power, the country nears the precipice of open civil war.
The socialist economy created by former President Hugo Chavez in the early 2000s and continued by his successor Nicolas Maduro, has totally broken down.
The economy has already shrunk by a third, in the last five years alone. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined by 18.6% in 2016 alone.
Venezuela already suffering from a deep recession, is also experiencing runaway inflation. Consumer prices rose at an annual rate of 800% in 2016. According to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the hyperinflation in 2017, can be expected to head as high as 2200%.
The country was once considered the richest in South America. A half a century ago, living standards in Venezuela, were almost comparable to parts of Western Europe.
According to some energy analysts, the country of Venezuela, has more oil reserves than any other nation in the world, including Saudi Arabia. The Orinoco contains an estimated 1.2 trillion barrels with 235 billion, proven to exist.
However, most of the oil reserves are comprised of extra-heavy crude. This type oil is expensive to process and refine. It was the reason why international oil companies, were invited to help develop the resource years ago. These firms invested billions of dollars in needed infrastructure and technology.
It is easy to blame the lower international oil prices, for the economic and financial catastrophe, Venezuela is now experiencing. Crude now sells for 50% less, than it did a decade ago. From an excess of $100.00 USD (United States Dollar) in 2007, to less than $50.00 USD in 2017.
There is no doubt the drop in the value for oil has made matters worse, but the real problem has been the mismanagement of the oil sector, by the socialist Venezuelan government.
Venezuela was originally able to increase production of crude, as a result of these large investments, with output reaching a peak of 3.5 million barrels a day in 1998. This also coincided with the election of Hugo Chavez, the same year.
Hugo Chávez, president from 1999 until his death in 2013.
Over the subsequent years, the socialist government would constantly interfere with the oil industry. The Chavez administration would use the income derived from the sale of crude, to finance the expansion of many social programs.
The enormous revenue derived from oil sales, encouraged President Chavez to unwisely ramp up public spending, to unsustainable levels. From 2000 to 2013, expenditures as a share of GDP increased from 28% to 40%. Over $1 trillion USD in oil revenues, would be appropriated for this purpose.
Large subsidies were provided for food, fuel and medicine,along with other schemes to transfer wealth, to the poor and disadvantaged citizenry.
A bloated and inefficient bureaucracy would lead to widespread waste. A substantial portion of government income, would also be lost to graft and corruption over the years.
Filling station in Venezuela of PDV (a subsidiary of PDVSA)
This enormous rise in spending was far larger than other economies in Latin America. It prevented the growth of foreign exchange reserves, that would be needed, once oil prices headed down after 2013.
During the general strike of 2002 and 2003, President Chavez would fire the 19,000 employees of the state owned oil company (PDVSA). A great deal of expertise in the energy sector, would therefore be lost. These workers were replaced with individuals, that would instead maintain their loyalty to the Chavez run government.
As the price of oil began to climb in 2007, President Chavez demanded a renegotiation of the contracts with the international oil firms. They were going to be forced to give up majority control of their investments. BP, Chevron, Statoil and Total agreed to become minority owners in their own projects.
Two American companies ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil, would refuse and ended up have their assets expropriated, by the Venezuelan government. The cases have still not been resolved. A World Bank arbitration body has repeatedly ruled against the Venezuelans, but the appeals continue.
Venezuela on a world map.
The growing lack of skilled workers as well as declining domestic and foreign investment, has taken a toll on total crude output. Venezuelan oil production has been in a steady decline since 2007. By 2015, output had dropped to just 2.6 million barrels. This was more than a 20% decline from the 2006 levels.
Regardless, Venezuela remains among the world's top ten largest oil producers. Crude still accounts for over 90% of the country's exports. It not only funds the government budget, but provides the urgently needed foreign exchange, to pay for imports.
When the boom in oil prices ended in 2014, it left the government with crushing external debt and a shortage of funds, to pay the enormous entitlements costs.
The flow of hard currency into Venezuela slowed considerably. Instead of allowing a devaluation, the Maduro government instead began to ration dollars. Access to foreign currency became even more restricted, as the economic situation deteriorated.
Nicolás Maduro, the current president 2013-
The Maduro government has continued to make paying back foreign debt, a priority over expenditures inside the country.
To deal with rising prices, the government enacted controls, which simply created a new black market, as the regular supply chains collapsed.
Almost all consumer goods are now imported. The collectivist ideology in regards to the private sector, have driven most individual businesses to bankruptcy. The government in the name of politics, demands the owners of firms, to sell their goods below market value.
This eventually forces entrepreneurs out of business. If they refuse to cooperate, their property is taken over by the government.
The ongoing government expropriation of businesses and property, along with the general redistribution of wealth, has had a long term detrimental effect on the economy. Venezuela no longer has the private capital and expertise, to maintain a modern economy, despite abundant natural resources.
Empty shelves in a store in Venezuela due to shortages.
In addition, by refusing to cut public spending or expanding the tax base, it leaves the government with few options, other than printing money. This is contributing to the hyperinflation, the country is now experiencing. It has made the national currency the bolivar, practically worthless. It has lost more than 99% of its original value, in less than six years.
The growing dissent is the result of a citizenry, that can no longer survive the economic chaos, caused by incompetent government policies.
Protesters opposed to the socialist government are being increasingly harassed, beaten up and killed.
The electorate is now demanding economic reform and an end to the authoritarian rule of President Maduro. He has resisted the calls for his removal by a vote for months. He instead has voiced the proposition, that the crisis now enveloping the country, is a conspiracy.
The Maduro government continues to insist that foreign powers, particularly the United States, are attempting to topple the legitimate government of Venezuela and install a right-wing regime.
As the opposition grows against him, Maduro is increasingly dependent on the army and his militias to keep his government in power.
A peaceful transfer of power becomes increasingly unlikely, as President Maduro seems determined to stay in office at least, until his six year term ends in January of 2019.
National Assembly of Venezuela building
He prevented a referendum for his recall, to take place last year. The opposition which had taken control of the legislature in 2015, had been largely ignored already last year. Since a democratic solution is no longer viable, it has led to increasingly violent demonstrations.
Since Maduro has allowed the judiciary which he controls, to seize the political power that once belonged to the National Assembly, he has now been labeled a dictator by the opposition inside Venezuela.
In March of this year, the Supreme Court totally took over the function of legislature. The court has subsequently overturned most laws, that were passed since late 2015.
The Supreme Court has even authorized Maduro to create oil joint ventures, without the previously mandated legislative approval.
President Maduro now proposes, the drafting of a new constitution. Most of the political opposition refuses to participate. The believe it to be another delaying tactic, on the part of the President. These politicians no longer believe that President Maduro and his supporters, will ever voluntarily relinquish power.

Abby (Heigl) produces a local TV news show whose ratings are struggling.
One night, after a bad blind date, her cat treads on the remote control and she finds herself watching loathsome chauvinist Mike (Butler) telling viewers to his cable TV show how to find a lover – women are advised to lose weight, for example.
To her horror, when she gets into work the next day, Mike has been hired to do a slot on her news show, to boost the ratings.
The ratings are duly boosted, to her disgust, and when she realises that his base ways – his "ugly truth" manifesto – might help her hook the hunky doctor next door, she starts to play along, no matter how much Mike turns her stomach with every breath.
When Mike's popularity sees him get an offer from a rival TV station, Abby's sent to follow him to LA to stop him jumping ship.
This film has been roundly condemned by many moralising critics, unfairly in this sense. It's by no means a good film. It's meant to be a romantic comedy, but it's not funny, hardly romantic and certainly neither sweet nor charming – but it's a pleasant and harmless enough diversion – and here's the thing – as the title suggests, it actually gets dangerously close to the truth enough for it to play more like a psychological drama.
Therein, I suspect, lies much of the distaste for this film from some reviewers – they don't like the fact that there IS some truth in the characters' behaviour and as such are, perhaps, projecting onto the film some of the darker feelings they don't want to admit they have about themselves.
Guys who think that Mike's shallow misogyny gives all men a bad reputation may well hate the fact that they have been known to objectify beautiful women themselves, from time to time. And when Mike's history is revealed, explaining why he views most women in such a dim light, there will be many men who can identify with him – among them, the lead character in the upcoming 500 Days of Summer.
And women who balk at the idea that anyone might ever fall for such a loathsome beast have probably hated themselves for making out with some guy who charmed them in a pub or pined for too long after someone who'd treated them badly.
A female friend once told me – with no agenda – that "the good guy's not hot." And that is the ugly truth that this film attempts to portray.
So, getting all the moralising out of the way, this is where the film truly falls down – its humour is crude, blunt, obvious and inconsistent – the performances clumsy – and few of the situations seem in any sense truthful – laughably inappropriate, on the whole – and this is probably the only laughing you'll find yourself doing.
After a second recent turkey, following the considerably worse PS I Love You, Butler has shown that romance – and accents – aren't his thing; he'd be better of sticking to playing tough guys, as he did in 300 and Rock-n-Rolla.
And for Heigl, this is further proof – if any were needed – that actors shouldn't always be allowed to produce their own movies – leave the producing to people who know what makes a good film. In Knocked Up, she had maturity and depth. Here, she is a caricature – dull and deserving of all her misfortunes – attempting to be the same kind of put-upon unlucky-in-love TV news producer as Holly Hunter was in Broadcast News, she fails to display any of the complexity, maturity or warmth.


Happy New Year everyone!! Hope everyone has a good Rabbit year... and it should be, since the Rabbit God rules over relationships, especially homosexual love!! I'm going to try and see the Rabbit Temple tomorrow, wish me luck!

Response to: 'Is music making men malicious?'
Posted in Articles, Other, tagged Culture, eminem, men, modern, modernity, morals, music, newage, rap, respect, response, tupac, values, violence, women on March 28, 2013| 2 Comments »
Some of you may have read my post "Is music making men malicious?" One of my friends, Siam Syed read it and wrote the below which makes some very interesting points and I wanted to share with you.
I don't disagree with what you're saying, he does use vulgarity, violence etc in his lyrics, and I'm not going to sit here and defend him to say he's the 'perfect' role model for all kids. What I will say though is I can understand why he's such a successful artist and why he's regarded as a pioneer for an 'evolved' hip hop industry and I daresay – one of the best rappers of all time. I will further that and say he IS still a role model.
I obviously don't know this guy personally, but I've read about him, saw him on interviews and media, and watched the movie 8 mile. 8 mile is probably a sensationalised autobiography on his life. But from what I've studied, this guy grew up with a messed up life. His dad left when he was born, his mother was an addict, and to top it off he lived in a black neighbourhood where gangsters, drugs, murdering was pretty much everywhere. Watch the movie 8 mile and listen to 'Lose Yourself'.
If you look back on the history of music, rap culture was predominantly founded by the black community, with most hip hop artists and rappers being black males. Being a white male, stepping into this industry and getting to the top is a big deal and I have respect for his talent.
In regards to his lyrics, the media has played a big part in his 'public image' being very negative through misrepresentations. For example, this is an extract from a 60 Minutes interview:
Cooper: Some of the lyrics, like, you know, in the song "Criminal" you say "My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge, That'll stab you in the head, whether you're a fag or lez, Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest, Pants or dress – hate fags? The answer's "yes""
Eminem: Yeah, this scene I came up in. That word was thrown around so much, you know, faggot was like thrown around constantly to each other, like in battling.
Cooper: Do you not like gay people?
Eminem: No, I don't have any problem with nobody. You know what I mean? I'm just like whatever.
I myself have used the word fag here and there in a negative light towards homosexuals. Wrong of me to do it, but I have, and most other people have too. Let's not forget that in the 1990's homosexuals weren't accepted as much as they are today. He later did a duet with Elton John (who is gay) on the song, 'Stan', and remains friends with him still.
You mentioned the song, 'Kill You' speaking very violently about his ex-wife Kim. True. But we don't know under what circumstances he wrote that song. What I do know, is that Kim endangered the life of their daughter, Hailie, for which a judge ruled Eminem to have custody over her. Listen to 'Mockingbird'.
Since then, Eminem has adopted Kim's Sister's child, Lainie, as well as Whitney, Kim's daughter from a previous relationship. He is also the legal guardian of his half-brother, Nathan. Listen to the song 'Cleaning out my closet'. Clearly we can see a trend here that most people in his life are really messed up, to the point where the court ruled in his favour to live with him instead. So before we jump to conclusions and say he's a violent, racist, homophobic prick who should not be a role model, we are forgetting the many kids out there who grew up in his circumstances, for which he is a perfect role model for. An extract from his song, 'Sing for the moment':
"That's why we sing for these kids, who don't have a thing
Except for a dream, and a fuckin' rap magazine
Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives
Till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe
We're nothin' to you but we're the fuckin' shit in they eyes".
Listen to the whole song, and maybe you'll gain some perspective of why he raps the way he does.
Now to come to his 'talent'. Eminem's the only accepted white rapper by the black community. He's so good that he was produced by one of the most prominent black hip hop artists of all time, Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre (if you don't know him) worked with the best rappers OF ALL TIME – Snoop Dogg, Tupac, NWA, Ice Cube, Nate Dogg etc. And this random white guy came up to him with his mix tape and Dre took him on. Extract from 'White America':
"when I was underground, no one gave a fuck I was white, no labels wanted to sign me, almost gave up, I was
Like, fuck it, until I met Dre, the only one to look past, gave me a chance, and I lit a fire up
Under his ass, helped him get back to the top, every fan black that I got, was probably his in
Exchange for every white fan that he's got"
I don't know need to go into the technicalities of rap (you'll get bored lol) but basically, he's a genius. His rhythm, his flow, his word play are un-matched to anyone today. His calibre is that of Tupac – who is regarded as the best rapper of all time. You ask why is he so popular? Because his probably the only 'pure' rapper left (besides Lupe Fiasco). In today's music industry where Lil Wayne and Lil Jon are considered rappers, can you not see how much better Eminem is? And to all those 'old school' rappers like Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, P.Diddy – they are all commercialised, they rap about how mad their lives are, and write lyrics that can be played on radio so they can make more money. Snoop Dogg used to rap with Tupac, listen to 'Gangsta Party' and while you're at it listen to 'Changes', and you'll get what I mean by pure rap compared to today's commercialised 'rap'.
In summary, to people who like rap music, Eminem is a genius and wonderful to listen to. Yes he's got a lot of swearing and violence in his music, but that's what makes him so 'real' and relatable. It's his method of delivery. It's music though, it's an art form, just like movies. So should children not watch violent movies? Should young adults not watch vulgar movies? I watched Kill Bill, one of the goriest movies when I was in high school, and I fucking loved it. People I've murdered to date: 0. And I listen to a lot of rap – from a young age. And I don't swear uncontrollably lol. And by the way listening to Lose Yourself during my HSC made me push myself, I'd listen to it when I was studying, because getting into my degree was my dream. So how was he a negative influence on me? In saying that, I can't even imagine what kind of an inspiration he'd be for young white kids living in the ghetto.
Does God want us to Sin?
Posted in Islam, tagged God, Islam, Love, Mercy, Religion, sin on March 27, 2013| 4 Comments »
Last week on the way to work I sat behind two two uni students. Usually I get on and fall asleep within five minutes but their conversation was so different to the usual banal banter you hear on trains that I was captivated! They restored my faith in train conversations! As far as I could surmise the guy was studying Christian theology and wants to be a pastor and the girl was a Muslim studying… something – my eavesdropping powers didn't catch everything!
So they began talking and covered the similarities and differences between the monotheistic religions and why the girl doesn't wear a hijab to what happens in the afterlife and then divorce and King Henry and politics! Phew! It was a great conversation (or what I could hear of it) and the main point that stuck with me long after they left was their discussion on sinning. They spoke about fear and love of God and why do we sin and … Does God want us to sin? While they didn't answer this and moved onto talking about something else… it stuck with me.
I think God knows we cannot AVOID sinning. Is that the same as WANTING us to sin (because he knows everything)? Yes. Maybe. So yes God does want us to sin. But Why? It reminded me of something Michael Scott once said in the office…
Ok so I don't think God wants us to be afraid of loving Him. But I do think that God in His ultimate knowledge and mercy knows that we are falliable human beings and that we will stuff up and kind of like an endearing parent He has provided us with copious notes on how much He loves us and how much we can expect to be forgiven. Allah swt says, "And My mercy encompasses every thing." [Quran 7:156] and again "Say: 'O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." [Quran 39: 53]
But remember that giving positive reinforcement doesnt work for all kids and some need tough love. In the same way I think God reminds us of his wrath and the consequences of failing to adhere by His rules as a reminder that a loving parent/God can also be a reprimanding one. If this incites fear – then so be it? The point is that either out of love or out of fear – people will refrain from sinning.
But no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. So whether you love God or you are simply scared of Him – or a bit of both – know that He has your best interest at heart and that He knows your fate and your next move (even though you have the power to change your destiny thorough your actions) and that sinning and making mistakes and learning from them is what this life is all about. Preparation for the next.
Is music making men malicious?
Posted in Articles, tagged art, eminem, freedom of speech, music, rap, violence, women on March 19, 2013| 3 Comments »
On the train home the other day I sat two seats away from a man blaring Eminem on his headphones. He wore a tatty singlet tatts and a 'piss off look'. One could assume (if one was prone to judging a book by its cover) that listening to such music makes the man. He gets a phone call and his features break into a huge smile and his face softens as he coos into the phone with (presumably) someone he fancies on the other end of the line. Now if you judged him before aren't' you feeling ashamed now? Switch to another day, another train and a bored looking suited young man sitting across from me. Looking every bit the prim and proper corporate gentleman, he flicks his phone cover open to revel he is listening to Eminem and then soon after takes a call in which his placid features contort into disgust and he cusses down the line in a verbal barrage that would leave the mafia trembling. Judging a book by its cover then is obviously not a good idea. But can this be extended to judging music of Eminem's calibre and style?
So who or what is Eminem and his style? For those of you who, like me do not listen to radio and hip hop and rap and prefer the flavour of classic rock (or something else) here is a quick summary I collated via google. Eminem is one of the best-selling artists in the world and is the best-selling artist of the 2000s. He has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, including 42 million tracks and 49.1 million albums in the United States. Now .. that's a lot of accolades even in an industry where a teen in a car singing about Friday goes viral. So what are his songs about and why are they so popular? I listened to some and all I heard was a lot of swearing, a lot of aggressiveness and a lot of violence to women and blacks and .. well general insanity. I then did a search on 'Why is Eminem so popular' (thank god for google right? It's like the siri of the internet) and guess what? Most of the results talked about why he SHOULDN'T be popular. There are so many articles on why kids shouldn't be listening to his songs and some that specifically analyse his lyrics and pick our exactly what is wrong with him, his style and his music. And yet… he is one of the world's bestselling artists. This paradox confuses me so I continue with my google search – this time looking up his concerts, movies, interviews and book.
Wikipedia tells me that on October 26, 2000, Eminem was to perform at a concert in Toronto's Skydome. However, Ontario Attorney General Jim Flaherty argued that Canada should stop Eminem at the border. "I personally don't want anyone coming to Canada who will come here and advocate violence against women," he said. Flaherty claims to have been "disgusted" when reading transcriptions of Eminem's song "Kill You", which includes lines like "Slut, you think I won't choke no whore/till the vocal cords don't work in her throat no more?" Liberal MPP Michael Bryant suggested that the government lay hate crime charges against Eminem for the advocacy of violence against women found in his lyrics. The opinion of the general public to the requests made by the province were negative. Others said the issue was one of free speech. In a Globe and Mail editorial, author Robert Everett-Green wrote, "Being offensive is Eminem's job description." Eminem's Toronto concert went on as planned that night.
So on the whole my research shows that Eminem and his music is sexist, vulgar, racist, profane and downright insane. I am not alone in being disgusted by his lyrics and his references to his colourful life which he proudly sings about despite the incidents having landed him in hot water on more than a few occasions. What is most worrying however is that young kids, particularly boys and even young adult men like this music. They see nothing wrong with the profanity, the violence, the negativity and the racism. What they listen to is the rhythm and the pain and the self-awareness. I asked a young friend of mine and he said, 'I think the way you think and speak has more to do with the people around you think art and entertainment have fairly minimal impact on people. It's often used as a scapegoat and an excuse, and most of my friends listen to the same stuff as I do.' While I disagree with this and think that at and popular cultures have an extraordinarily significant impact on people it is interesting to note just how confident he was with this statement.
Is it true then, that rap music with its vulgarity and sexist references, bigotry, racism and violence is just another form of self-expression? I like to think that freedom of speech stops where the rights of others begin. If music is going to impede the fight for equality between genders, between races and between religions – then we need to be rethinking the place of such music in our society. If music is making young men more violent and careless, if music is contributing to a misguided sense of the acceptability of rape, racism, homophobia or misogyny, then we need to rethink the dissemination of this type of music to our youth. If one person's self-expression and right to practice his art is influencing a myriad of others into emulating his violent, colourful and drug addled life then we need to rethink the freedom we give to such people to be 'role models' for society. If music be the food of love, play on. But if music be the antagonist of social discontent then Stop. Rewind. Rethink.

Middlesbrough starlet attracting interest from Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen
By Oliver Dixon on Mar 4, 2019 0 Comments
Middlesbrough's teenage sensation Marcus Tavernier has featured heavily this season in both the cup competitions and in the Championship.
The 19-year old has played 18 games for Middlesbrough in all competitions this campaign, scoring three goals. He's been in and around the match day squad since his debut last season, but he could be wishing for more first team opportunities in the near future.
Every time he has featured he has impressed, and with Boro's obvious lack of width, many supporters feel he should get even more game time.

He was shipped out on loan last season to League Two side MK Dons, and if he is to become a regular starter it may be a case of leaving on another short term deal or finding a new club entirely.
One club interested in Tavernier is Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen, according to The Daily Mail. With the success of young English players in Germany, the Middlesbrough midfielder could certainly be tempted.
Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson have impressed for Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim respectively, whereas Ademola Lookman swapped Everton for RB Leipzig last season, doing equally well in his time on the continent.
IN OTHER NEWS: Simon Grayson targeting Glasgow Rangers striker for Blackpool
According to the report, Leverkusen are expecting bids for three of their own young stars, with Julian Brandt, Leon Bailey and Kai Havertz all attracting attention from clubs elsewhere. The German side have been monitoring Tavernier as a long term replacement, and have even been to scout the England under-20 international at The Riverside this season.

Pinolenwerkzeuge sind Extrusionswerkzeuge,  welche vor allem für Ummantelungen von Leitern bei der Kabelummantelung oder Schlauchherstellung beim Extrusionsblasformen zum Einsatz kommen. Im Gegensatz zu einem Stegdornwerkzeug kann durch das Pinolenwerkzeug etwas hindurchgeführt werden (z. B.: Draht).
Die ins Werkzeug eintretende Schmelze wird über einen Verteilerkanal oder ein Verteilersystem (mehrere Kanäle), welche sich auf der Pinole befinden, herumgeführt.
Verteilerkanalgeometrien (beginnend mit der Wichtigsten):

 Die optimale Pinolengeometrie ist jene des aufgewickelten Kleiderbügelverteilers.[Abb.1] Grundlage hierfür ist das weiterentwickelte Berechnungssystem für Verteilersysteme von Breitschlitzwerkzeugen. Dieses Konzept wurde für die Auslegung konischer und zylindrischer Pinolen erweitert. Mit diesem System ist möglich:
Einhalten eines konstanten Durchsatzes über den Umfang bei gleichem Druckabfall vom Werkzeugeintritt bis zum Werkzeugaustritt auf allen Fließwegen
Konstante Schergeschwindigkeit dem zufolge auch konstante Viskosität im ganzen Werkzeug

 Ringnut mit großer Querschnittsfläche um die Pinole, mit nachgeschalteten hohen Fließwiderstand (Parallelführung). Nicht geeignet für große Austrittsdurchmesser, sowie thermisch empfindliche Formmassen.

 Bei der sogenannten Herzkurve wird der Schmelzestrom in zwei Teilströme aufgeteilt.  Diese sollten einen möglichst gleich langen Fließweg um die jeweilige Pinolenhälfte haben, bevor sie am Ende der Pinole wieder zusammengeführt werden. Die Kontur dieses Teilers erinnert an die eines Herzens, daher der Name. Bei dieser Geometrie entstehen zwei Bindenähte, welche als mechanische Schwachstellen angesehen werden können. Im Gegensatz zu dem Kleiderbügelverteiler wird der Verdrängungskörper umströmt und nicht überströmt. Durch Einsetzen zweier "versetzter" Herzkurven kann man Verbesserungen erzielen.

Ummantelung von Elektroleitungen

Die Ummantelung erfolgt nach dem Druck- oder Schlauchprinzip. Im Druckwerkzeug können unrunde Unterkonstruktionen zu einem runden Querschnitt aufgefüllt werden [Abb.2]. Beim Schlauchprinzip wird stattdessen ein gleichmäßig dicker Überzug aufgebracht, der sich weitgehend dem vorgegebenen Querschnitt anpasst [Abb.3]. Mit der Druckmethode sind im Allgemeinen hohe Haftfestigkeiten zu erzielen. Im Vergleich dazu erlaubt die Schlauchmethode ein leichtes Abschälen der Ummantelung (Abisolieren). Mit der Druckmethode ist es auch möglich, ein Kabel mit 3 oder mehreren Leitern zu ummanteln, wobei alle entstehenden Zwischenräume mit Kunststoff ausgefüllt werden. Durch Anlegen von Unterdruck an der Pinole kann die Haftfestigkeit den Erfordernissen angepasst werden.

Delaware Family Law: An Overview
Family issues are both emotionally and legally complex to work out on your own. While the emotional turmoil is something that must be addressed personally, you don't need to address the legal part of your family issue alone or without the benefit of legal expertise.
If you have a family law case in Wilmington, Newark, Dover or elsewhere in Delaware, LawInfo is your source for information and legal help. LawInfo's Delaware Family Law section includes legal overviews, summaries of state laws and other resources to help you make the right decisions for you and your family.
If you need help navigating the complex laws governing your case, a Delaware family law attorney can help and treat your case with the sensitivity it deserves.
Delaware Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial (or premarital) agreement shouldn't be seen as a harbinger of a marriage doomed for divorce. Rather, it should be seen as a form of insurance—a policy written by and for both parties to a marriage that ensures a more equitable and civil divorce if one ever occurs.
The primary goal of a prenuptial agreement is to decide who gets what if there's a divorce. Each party's rights and responsibilities to real, personal and financial property and to debts, leases or credit lines are established in the agreement as well. You can also include sections about wills, trusts, spousal support (alimony) and death benefit rights for life insurance.
Delaware's laws prevent prenuptial agreements from negatively impacting child support rights. Prenuptial agreements often leave child support decisions up to the court to avoid conflicts.
Delaware Marriage Requirements
Marriage is as much of a personal affair between two people as it is a legal affair in Delaware. The state has an interest in protecting the rights and welfare of its people and the community. To do so effectively, Delaware enforces restrictions and requirements for attaining a legal marriage.
A Delaware marriage license is a mandatory document you and your fiancé must attain prior to getting married. It verifies that the union doesn't violate the state's prohibited marriages statutes, which include marriages:
Between family members, including siblings, half-siblings, first cousins, ancestors and descendants, uncles/nieces and aunts/nephews.
In which either party is still married to another person. Both parties must present a divorce certificate if the previous marriage was ended.
In which either party is on probation or parole. To legally marry, the party on probation or parole would need written consent from the chief officer of the court or institution that has jurisdiction over their case.
That involve a party under 18 years of age. Minors who which to get married must obtain the court's written consent and their parent or legal guardian must petition for the marriage to the court on their behalf.
Marriages between same-sex couples are legal in Delaware.
Delaware Divorce Requirements
Just as there are marriage requirements in Delaware, there are also divorce requirements. Delaware is considered a "no-fault" divorce state, meaning a couple can be granted a divorce on the ground of an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
While this ground for divorce traditionally assigns no blame to either party for the divorce, Delaware's law includes an option that the breakdown may be the result of:
Separation due to incompatibility,
Voluntary separation,
The respondent's (the party not filing the divorce petition) marital misconduct (such as adultery), OR
The respondent's mental illness.
Despite the fact that you could request a divorce based on any of these four fault grounds, the fault grounds may not be used by the court in alimony decisions. However, they can be used in child custody and property distribution decisions.

Asset location is a tax-minimization strategy of placing investments in accounts that ultimately will produce the highest aftertax return for the investor's entire portfolio. Investors who can benefit the most from asset location strategies are those who follow a balanced investment strategy and have investments in both taxable and tax-advantaged accounts.
AAII Journal editor Charles Rotblut talks with William Bengen, a retired financial planning practitioner whose groundbreaking research led to the "4% Rule" for retirement account withdrawals. The two discuss the rule's backstory and what investors using it today should take into consideration.
Unfortunately, investors all too often buy the best story and not the best investment. To protect yourself, step back and think about your investments with your brain and not your gut. For example, in selecting individual stocks don't confuse a good company with a good stock. When selecting funds, simply looking at gross returns and comparing them to the S&P 500 index may be a good strategy for losing money. Here are some commonsense guidelines for buying the best investment and determining the difference between a good story and a good investment.
Wall Street has many golden rules that carry with them an element of truth and the wisdom of years of experience. Here are 22 tidbits of wisdom. Some are more useful than others, and some are of very questionable value. Our advice: Take them all with a grain of salt.

Hope you are are enjoying the cool weather. As the seasons change, I like to alter my skincare regimen accordingly. As you may know I suffer on and off from acne, pimples breakouts, zits whiteheads, blackheads, whatever you want to call it :-(..
I am forever looking for a cure for acne, and its no use treating the symptoms you actually have to look at the causes.
One of the causes of acne is stress, whether it is from school, exams, work, deadlines, family obligations and general day to day life stress can cause acne.
finding sometime to unwind and relax on a daily basis.
In order to help us fight stress related acne, Neutrogena has come with a face wash called Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control Daily Scrub.
I have been using this for a few months now and I can say it is the strength, light enough to be used daily and strong enough to make a noticeable difference.
Suitable for acne prone oily/combination, sensitive skin. I have combination skin which is crazy sensitive and this didn't irritate it so I am super pleased!
The NEUTROGENA VISIBLY CLEAR® Spot Stress Control Daily Scrub contains microbeads to gently exfoliate skin whilst the powerful Microclear®technology unclogs pores allowing the formula to penetrate deep down and help clear spots. With green tea and cucumber it soothes the skin and it is gentle enough to use every day without drying the skin.
The green tea and cucumber combo smells great and has revitalising and relaxing effect. The skin tingles a bit so you can actually feel it working but it does not irritate.
Daily usage will rid of black heads and white heads.
There aren't really any cons. i just want to say it doesn't completely rid you of your acne, but if the cause of your acne isn't skincare/topical causes it is not the product's fault. For example, if you have adult/teenage acne caused by hormonal changes/imbalances then it will not cure it- you will need to see a dermatologist for that.
Apply it on your face before you brush teeth, and leave it on your face to do its magic while you brush your teeth you will feel your skin tingling, rinse for super soft smooth skin.
4.5 /5 It is one of the best face cleanser product I have tried in a while and for a very reasonable price.

Scrolling through my newsfeed I realised I see at least 5 articles about relationships every day. And most of them are contradicting. The worst thing is that these articles and those writing them, claim that there are universal solutions and truths that will work for every relationship.
Relationships are about just being happy for waking up next to each other, being mad at each other but being able to say sorry first… laughing at each other's mistakes and imperfections.
People overcomplicate things. Overthink the hows and whys and expect the worst. We expect fireworks and butterflies but we also want steady and secure. We want hot and trendy while we want something that lasts. We want it all but we are not prepared to give it all.

K9 Cannons are a species of floor-mounted cannons in the shape of Noobis. They appear in Poobah the Pharaoh's Pyramid, a level in Wario: Master of Disguise. K9 Cannons attack by shooting small orange balls at Wario. The name K9 Cannon is seemingly based on the word canine, which is the scientific term used for dogs.
A floor-mounted cannon in the shape of Noobis. It cares not for rights or liberties, preferring instead to blast away and ask questions later.
