Population density pushes the 'slow life'
Big cities with lots of people usually garner images of a fast paced life, where the hustle and bustle of the city is met, and at least tolerated, by those who live there. They live for the "rush" of city life, and all of the competition that lies therein.
But a new study by Arizona State University shows the opposite may be true – that one psychological effect of population density is for those people to adopt a "slow life strategy." This strategy focuses more on planning for the long-term future and includes tactics like preferring long-term romantic relationships, having fewer children and investing more in education.
The study, "The crowded life is a slow life: Population density and life history strategy," was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Its findings provide novel insights into how population density affects human psychology, and has implications for thinking about population growth, environmental influences on social behavior, and human cultural diversity.
"Our findings are contrary to the notion that crowded places are chaotic and socially problematic," said Oliver Sng, who led the research while a doctoral student at ASU and who now is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan. "People who live in dense places seem to plan for the future more, prefer long-term romantic relationships, get married later in life, have fewer children and invest a lot in each child. They generally adopt an approach to life that values quality over quantity."
Sng, with ASU Foundation Professor Steven Neuberg and ASU psychology professors Douglas Kenrick and Michael Varnum, used data from nations around the world and the 50 U.S. states to show that population density naturally correlates with these slow life strategies. Then, in a series of experiments (e.g., in which people read about increasing crowdedness or heard sounds of a crowded environment), they found that perceptions of crowdedness cause people to delay gratification and prefer slower, more long-term, mating and parenting behaviors.
Why? Using evolutionary life history theory, Neuberg notes that different strategies are useful in different kinds of environments.
"In environments where population density is low, and there is thus relatively little competition for available resources, there are few costs but lots of advantages to adopting a 'fast' strategy," he suggested. "On the other hand, when the environment gets crowded, individuals have to compete vigorously with others for the available resources and territory."
"To be successful in this competition, they need to invest more in building up their own abilities, which tends to delay having children," he added. "Because this greater social competition also affects their kids, they tend to focus more of their time and energy on enhancing their abilities and competitiveness. So a slow strategy–in which one focuses more on the future and invests in quality over quantity–tends to enhance the reproductive success of individuals in high density environments."
Will higher densities always lead to this slow strategy? "Not at all," said Sng. "In fact, when high densities are paired with unpredictable death or disease, the theory predicts that people will become more present-focused and opportunistic."
Sng added that the "slow life strategy, when brought to its extremes, also has its own pitfalls. Consider, for example, the pre-school craze in dense places like New York City, where parents are obsessed with getting their children into the best pre-schools. There are similar phenomenon emerging in dense countries like Japan and Singapore."
"With the world's population growing," Neuberg added, "it seems more important than ever to understand the psychological effects of overcrowding and how living in crowded environments might influence people's behaviors. Applying a new perspective to an old question is allowing us to reexamine the effects of living in crowded environments."

Annual Report KZNTGA-e 201/12
The year started off very promising, we once again had a full twelve member committee and we were all rearing to go and take the association forward. We did make significant contributions towards tourism in general the to the association in particular.
Much did happen publicly as well as behind the scenes throughout the year and right up until yesterday.
And so from the start I would like to thank the 2011/12 Committee Members – Barry Fuller, Debbie Marshall, Elizabeth Kirk (as voluntary secretary of the committee), Helen Arnsmeyer, Irene le Tourneur, Karoline Huntley-Smith, Ken Gillings, Lisa Diefenderfer, Michele de Gersigny, Paul Bennewith, Tezz Olds, Tim Brown and Thomas Harms .
Although it might appear, that not as many events happened as we had wished for, that was not through our lack of trying. Looking at the list which follows and bearing in mind that the committee all volunteer their time and efforts, I do think the achiement is remarkable.
Often it seems that finding a suitable date for everybody is downright impossible and many attempts were stalled by too many cancellations however when we did hold events, attendance was good! The lesson in this is to commit to a date and follow through, there will always be some who can make it and others who cannot.
As we are all in the same boat, as self employed guides, we cannot hold it against anybody who takes on a days work rather than attending or organising an Association event. It is also this reason that we would like to propose a change to the constitution as indicated in the Agenda in this meeting.
Just briefly the year that was and events the were organised or held in collaboration with the Association.
Last AGM July 28, 2011
The 3 DeDT workshops one of which was held in Durban.
Educational Whale watching.
Other book launches posted on Guide Net.
Representation at the Tourism Careers Expo.
The Draft Tourism Bill was published for public comment and circulated via Guide Net, suggestions were then forwarded to the National Tourism Department.
The most up to date news on that is the the new draft bill has been passed by cabinet and has been forwarded to parliament (in June). "Parliament will publish a notice in the Gazette announcing its introduction and calling for comments. After the comments periods and having dealt with all comments, it will then be submitted to be passed as law.
Parliament Committees ( Portfolio and Select) may decide to take it to the streets for public consultations. We are still waiting to hear from them in that regards"
Chief Director: Legal Services
The latter part of last year was quite a busy with general tourism, COP 17 and Cruise Liners docking in Durban.
No Christmas function function was held as once again trying to find a suitable date and venue was challenging.
The Association with the assistance of the Provincial Association held a very amicable meeting with King Shaka International Airport with regards to Coach Parking Incidents. The meeting was held in a good spirit, in my opinion not much was achieved but it appears ACSA is more aware of our concerns.
International Tourists Guides Day function was held in Limpopo by the National department a week later DEDT held a KZN function at Ushaka Marine World
As an association we held a social bring and braai on our own at NMR, this was a fun and relaxed event and I think we should hold similar get togethers more often.
The Provincial Association proposed Durban to the National Federation of Tourist Guides Associations with a bid to bid for the World Federation of Tourist Guides Associations WFTGA conference in 2015. Unfortunately we were pipped at the post by the Cape Tourist Guides Association CTGA. We Have committed our support to them.
A big thank you in this regard to Ken, who put in an enormous amount of work and together with the tireless efforts by James Seymour put together a fantastic bid!
Other events in the course of this year were;
Educational "Durban Gateway to Battlefields".
Priority Zone.
Mandela Capture site.
Annual FSATGA AGM
Inanda Route Educational
First aid for Tour Guides throughout the year by Deborah as regularly published on Guide Net.
Unfortunately in the last year, we also had a few tragic events in particular the tragic and untimely loss of their son to our colleagues, Vanessa & Tim, I wish to extend our sincere condolences in their sons untimely passing, and also a dear colleague and friend to many, Marie Ray, passed away after a long illness.
A few of our colleagues have also retired or moved away.
On a happier note I would like to congratulate Elizabeth and Barry and their marriage as well as Tim Brown and his lovely wife who got married earlier this year, unfortunately they cannot be here tonight.
In conclusion I would like to thank the outgoing committee and all the members of the association for another successful year in tourism and I wish everybody a prosperous future.

Q: Use Microsoft Access files in Android application Is there any way to use a Microsoft Access files in an Android application?

A: I do not believe there is any way to use a MS Access database with an Android application. Instead, you should probably consider using another database such as SQLite.
You could migrate your Access database to SQLite:

*

*Export your Access database into text files, semicolon or comma delimited.

*Open the SQLite database browser and chose File -> Import -> Table from csv file.

*Browse for your text file and choose the appropriate delimiter. Click create.

A: If import isn't an option you can make a (PHP) webservice that queries the database. Then call upon that webservice in your android application.
This week i'll be starting a tutorial serie on http://p-xr.com that will explain just that.

A: You can use jackcess, is pretty easy to use, but you can't execute queries.
http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/faq.html

A: Well, if you are using Access 2010, then you can build web sites, and the results are massively scalable to the web in terms of simultaneous users. The so called Access web services are also coming to office 365. So with office 365 (still in testing) or with SharePoint 2010 you can thus publish Access forms to the web. Here is a video of mine, and note how the same Access application at the half way point is run in an standard browser.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU4mH0jPntI
Note that no ActiveX or Silverlight is required (so it standard web compliant). I have tested the Access applications running on my windows 7 phone and the Access web application also runs well on my iPad (safari browser).
So, I do not see why the Access application would not work and run fine on an android phone. Note that when you publish the Access forms they are turned into xaml (.net zammel forms), and code you write in the Access form is converted into JavaScript. Reports are converted into sql server reporting services.

A: Use a windows machine and access access over a remote control tool.
For a bigger scenario, you can use Windows Terminal Services.

Sabina-negral (Juniperus phoenicea) é uma espécie de zimbreiro encontrados em toda a região do Mediterrâneo, desde Marrocos e Portugal, leste da Turquia e Egito, e também na Madeira e nas Ilhas Canárias, bem como sobre as montanhas do oeste da Arábia Saudita perto do Mar Vermelho. Ela cresce principalmente em baixas altitudes próximas ao litoral, mas atinge altitudes de 2400 metros no sul da sua gama nas Montanhas do Atlas.

Variedades
Estão descritas duas variedades:

 Juniperus phoenicea L. var. phoenicea - nativa das ilhas Canárias, Portugal, zona costeira do Mediterrâneo, Arábia Saudita, e península do Sinai, junto ao Mar Vermelho.
 Juniperus phoenicea L. var. turbinata (Guss.) Parl., 1868 - nativa do Mediterrâneo ocidental. Conhecido popularmente como zimbreiro ou zimbro é uma planta da família Cupressaceae. Apresenta-se como um arbusto ou pequena árvore de até 5 metros, com ramos jovens de contorno quadrangular sendo as folhas escamiformes, de 0,8 a 1,5 milímetros, dispostas em verticilos de 3. Gálbulos globosos com aproximadamente 1 centímetro, amarelados a vermelho escuro quando maduros. Esta planta apresenta floração durante o mês de Fevereiro.

Trata-se de uma variedade endémica da Madeira e Porto Santo e das ilhas Canárias, bastante rara e que ocorre nas comunidades de Marmulano. Ao longo dos tempos foi empregue na alimentação principalmente na aromatização de aguardentes. A forma megalocarpa Maire difere da espécie-tipo, no facto do fruto ser maior e de cor castanho-púrpura. Surge na costa atlântica de Marrocos.

In July of 2011, the Alliance for Catholic Education launched the School Pastors' Institute (SPI), a leadership formation symposium for pastors of a Catholic school. Developed at the request of (arch)bishops from across the country, the SPI is designed to respond to the unique and increasingly complex challenges and opportunities related to serving as a pastor of a parish school. Since 2011, the SPI has brought together nearly 1,000 pastors from 145 different (arch)dioceses to look more closely at the crucial role that the pastor plays in the parish school, as well as to foster best practices and collaboration among those engaged in this vital ministry. Now, more than ever, we need pastors understand, support, and advocate for Catholic schools.
Conference Goals and Content
The School Pastors' Institute is animated by our mission to embrace, educate, and empower children, families, educators, leaders, pastors, and others committed to the apostolate of K-12 Catholic education. The conference will be rooted in three key areas: pastor as spiritual leader, the pastor and principal relationship, and the unique and critical role of the pastor in the Catholic school. Topics will include Catholic identity, financial management and advancement, the formation of personnel, the recruitment of Latino children to Catholic schools, and public funding for Catholic schools. The SPI will also include breakout sessions for first-time school pastors, international priests who are new to the U.S. Catholic schools system, pastors with alternative governance models, pastors of regional or combined schools, pastors of rural parishes, associate pastors, and high school chaplains.
The School Pastors' Institute will take place on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, June 24-26, 2019. Based on feedback from previous years, the 2019 SPI will take on a slightly different form, with the main program being condensed to a three-day, two-night conference, with the option of staying an additional evening/day. This optional Day of Recollection will include several additional talks, time for personal reflection, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and the opportunity for sacramental confession.
Please note the start/end times of the 2019 conference below in order to plan your travel accordingly.
School Pastors' Institute - Main Program: June 24-26, 2019
The main program will begin on Monday, June 24, at 5:30 p.m. and conclude on Wednesday, June 26, at 11:30 a.m.
Optional Day of Recollection: June 26-27, 2019
The Day of Recollection will begin on Wednesday, June 26, at 3:00 p.m. and conclude on Thursday, June 27, at noon.
Registration for the 2019 SPI is open now. The registration fee is $325 for the three-day, two-night main program, which includes room and board and all materials. For those who choose to attend the SPI with the additional Day of Recollection, the registration fee is $400. Please note that participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the University of Notre Dame. Please note that space is limited, so register early to reserve your spot.
For any questions, please contact Fr. Joe Corpora, C.S.C. ().

Second Trump impeachment trial takes U.S. into uncharted waters
U.S. President Trump departs Washington on travel to Texas at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland
Richard Cowan and David Morgan
By Richard Cowan and David Morgan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - America will be in uncharted territory when the U.S. Senate meets as soon as next week for the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, a case against the outgoing president that one Democrat preparing for arguments called "shockingly evident."
The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to impeach Trump on charges of incitement one week after his supporters rampaged in the Capitol following a speech in which the Republican urged them to fight President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. Trump falsely claims he lost due to widespread voting fraud.
Representative Diana DeGette, one of nine Democratic impeachment managers who will argue the House's case against Trump, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was working out with Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell when to transmit the article of impeachment to the Senate, triggering the trial process.
"This is a situation where you have the crime pretty much being committed on national television," DeGette, a former trial lawyer, said, adding: "It's a shockingly evident case."
In a 232-197 vote on Wednesday, Trump became the first president to be impeached twice and will likely be the first to face an impeachment trial after leaving office.
Ten Republicans joined the majority Democrats in supporting impeachment, while others argued Trump's remarks were protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which defends free speech.
The action is highly unlikely to lead to Trump's ouster before Biden takes office next Wednesday. McConnell has said no trial could begin until the Senate was scheduled to be back in regular session on Tuesday.
Impeachment managers will be working through the weekend to compile a list of witnesses they want to call to testify and honing their arguments for conviction, DeGette said.
If Trump has left the White House, the Senate could convict him and then vote to ban him from running for office again.
Biden, a Democrat, has urged Senate leaders not to allow the impeachment trial to get in the way of other priorities in his first days in office such as an economic stimulus bill, coronavirus vaccine distribution improvements and confirming crucial Cabinet nominees.
Biden's inauguration has been scaled back due to security concerns and the COVID-19 pandemic. The West Front of the Capitol building, where the swearing-in occurs, is now fortified by fencing, barriers and thousands of National Guard troops.
The U.S. Capitol Police said on Thursday that the Capitol complex was closed to the public and its grounds would not be accessible on Inauguration Day, warning that anyone trying to enter unlawfully would be met with force and arrested.
FIRST AMENDMENT DEFENSE
The article of impeachment - equivalent to an indictment in a criminal trial - charged Trump with "incitement of insurrection" in his incendiary speech to thousands of supporters on Jan. 6. The mob disrupted Congress's certification of Biden's victory, sent lawmakers into hiding and left five people dead, including a police officer.
A two-thirds majority in the Senate would be needed to convict and remove Trump, meaning at least 17 Republicans in the 100-member chamber would have to join the Democrats.
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, who has already called for Trump to resign over his actions on Jan. 6, said on Thursday that the House's impeachment was appropriate. In a statement, she said that when the case comes before the Senate: "I will listen carefully and consider the arguments of both sides, and will then announce how I will vote."
In the trial, Trump's legal team may argue that his comments were not a call to violence and were protected under the First Amendment, some legal experts said.
They said that all sorts of lawful rhetoric could be proper grounds for impeachment, however, and that Congress had wide latitude to define "incitement" as it sees fit in the impeachment process.
"Even if his speech was protected by the First Amendment, he can still be impeached for it," said Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University. "High-ranking officials get fired for their speech all the time."
Trump's team could also argue that holding an impeachment trial after he has left office would violate the Constitution.
But there is precedent for Congress impeaching former federal officials and the Constitution explicitly says that impeachment is not just for removing officials but also for disqualifying them from future office, the experts said.
Trump also may face state legal actions on leaving office, including a criminal probe in New York into whether he inflated asset values to obtain loans and tax benefits in his business dealings.
The House impeached Trump in 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress stemming from his request that Ukraine investigate Biden and his son Hunter. The Senate in February 2020 voted to keep Trump in office.
No U.S. president has ever been removed from office via impeachment. Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and Andrew Johnson in 1868 but they also were acquitted by the Senate. Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 rather than face impeachment over the Watergate scandal.

British lawyer declines HK case after being subjected to 'disgraceful' comment
A British prosecutor hired by the Hong Kong government to lead a case against democracy activists has pulled out after coming under pressure in Britain including 'disgraceful' comments by its foreign minister, city authorities said on Wednesday. David Perry, a Queen's Counsel, was due to lead the case against tabloid media magnate Jimmy Lai and several others, including veteran democracy activists Martin Lee and Margaret Ng. But Hong Kong's Department of Justice noted "growing pressure and criticism" of Perry in Britain for taking the case, adding in a statement that he had "concerns about such pressures and the exemption of quarantine" and "indicated that the trial should proceed without him".
China is using 'lavish' PPE contributions to quash concerns about Covid-19 origins, Defence Select Committee chief warns
China is using "lavish" PPE contributions to try and quash concerns about the origins of Covid-19, the Defence Select Committee chief has warned. The delay in allowing WHO inspectors into China has allowed space for a "ferocious internal propaganda campaign" suggesting the US military is to blame for planting the virus, say Tobias Ellwood and chemical and biological weapons-expert Hamish de Bretton Gordon. Chinese handling of the crisis has been characterised by "denial, hesitation, cover up, refusal of outside help and punishment for all who dare speak out," they told the Telegraph. "Any international voices of concern have been quashed with lavish and sizable contributions of PPE and more recently vaccination programmes." China defended its handling of the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday, saying the hard lockdown on Wuhan weeks after the virus was detected had "reduced infections and deaths". Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the country would "strive to do better".
Vice President Mike Pence will be returning to his southern Indiana hometown Wednesday afternoon following the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. The Republican former Indiana governor and his wife Karen are expected to attend Biden's inauguration and will then fly into the Columbus Municipal Airport, where they will be greeted by some supporters, the Indiana Republican Party said Tuesday. Pence grew up in Columbus and some family members still live there.
Thai govt files royal insult complaint after criticism of its vaccine strategy
Thailand's government on Wednesday filed a criminal complaint of defaming the monarchy against a banned opposition politician after he criticised the country's COVID-19 vaccine strategy. The move could mark the highest-profile lese majeste case since a wave of anti-government protests emerged last year and extended to criticism of King Maha Vajiralongkorn over accusations of meddling in politics and taking too much power. The complaint against Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit under Article 112 of the criminal code came two days after he said the government was too reliant on a company owned by the Crown Property Bureau, which is under the king's personal control, to produce vaccines for Thais.
Decision would mean US could assign blame for death on to Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman The Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, left, with journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a scene from the recent documentary The Dissident. Photograph: AP The Biden administration will declassify an intelligence report into the murder by the Saudi government of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to Avril Haines, who has been nominated to serve as director of national intelligence. The decision means that the US is likely to officially assign blame for Khashoggi's brutal murder to the kingdom's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Khashoggi, a Washington Post journalist and US resident who wrote critical columns about the Saudi crown prince, was murdered by Saudi agents inside the Saudi consulate in Turkey in October 2018. While media reports have said that the US intelligence community determined with a medium to high degree of confidence that Prince Mohammed ordered the killing, that assessment has never officially been stated. The crown prince has denied he ordered the murder. Since then, Khashoggi's fiancee Hatice Cengiz and other human rights activists have called on Biden to release the classified report into the murder, saying that doing so was the first step towards seeking accountability. During Haines's confirmation hearing on Tuesday, the Oregon senator Ron Wyden said that, if confirmed as the new DNI, she would have the opportunity to "immediately" turn the page on the "excessive secrecy" and "lawlessness" of the Trump administration, and submit an unclassified report on "who was responsible" for Khashoggi's murder, as required under a February 2020 law that the Trump administration in effect blocked. Asked whether she would release the report, Haines replied: "Yes, senator, absolutely. We will follow the law." In a statement, Wyden praised the move, saying it was "refreshing to hear a straightforward commitment to follow the law" from Haines. Biden's Director of National Intelligence nominee Avril Haines says, if confirmed, she will provide Congress with an unclassified report on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. pic.twitter.com/ocPUsJUeti— NBC News (@NBCNews) January 19, 2021 Bruce Riedel, a former CIA analyst and director at the Brookings Institution, said: "It is a useful way to put the question of accountability for Khashoggi's murder in the public domain early in the new administration." One of the most outspoken advocates for justice for the murder, Agnès Callamard, also praised the move, saying the information would provide the "one essential missing piece of the puzzle of the execution of Jamal Khashoggi". Callamard, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, said she hoped other information would also come to light, such as any new details about the whereabouts of Khashoggi's remains, and whether a risk assessment had ever been done by the US about whether Khashoggi was in danger before his trip to Turkey. Callamard, who will be named the new head of Amnesty International later this year, also pointed to other threats that have reportedly been lodged against human rights defenders and former Saudi officials in Canada and Norway by Prince Mohammed's agents, who have been called a "death squad" in media reports. "At some point, if the US intelligence has information about those operatives, then I think they should really make that information publicly available," Callamard said. The release of the Khashoggi report will also raise a host of new questions for both the US and Saudi Arabia. "If the document fingers MBS as responsible for the murder it will raise the question what is Biden going to do to hold him accountable?" said Riedel. During the 2020 election campaign, Biden issued scathing attacks against the crown prince, saying Saudi Arabia needed to be treated as "a pariah". It is expected that the Biden administration would seek to curb weapon sales to Saudi Arabia, but it could also take more targeted actions against Prince Mohammed, including financial sanctions.

In the weeks leading up to the release of his debut album "Shattered Ice", ADAM TYLER proudly announces his headlining role on Electroqueer's North American tour. Billed as a showcase of the "very best in pop and electronic music from emerging and on-the-cusp artists," the EQ Music Tour will pepper the country covering major markets from New York City to Charlotte, to Houston to San Francisco. Having toured extensively on both national and international scales, Adam is certainly no stranger to the stages of many major metropolitan areas. One such appearance in particular will be on August 6, 2011 on a trip to Sweden for Stockholm PRIDE where Adam will join in the event parade and take the main stage at King's Garden later that night.
"EQ is delighted to present our first ever EQ Music Tour in North America this summer as we continue to pioneer the movement from blog page to stage in showcasing pop's hottest new up-and-coming talent. We couldn't be more excited to have Adam Tyler kick off our inaugural music tour as his music resonates deeply within our pop-loving community and as an artist, Adam pushes the envelope forward within the pop and electronic genre. Not only will blog readers and pop music fans get to enjoy seeing Adam Tyler perform for the first time in some of the hottest clubs in North America on the EQ Music Tour, but they will also have access to original behind-the-scenes footage as we follow Adam and the tour every step of the way through EQmusicblog.com, Twitter and Facebook."
Amidst the excitement of meeting with fans on the road, the release of "Shattered Ice" holds significant gravity, marking both the completion of his first full-length album, as well as the culmination of tireless work and momentous passion. From the opening beats of "Like A Drug" all the way through the Dub-Step influenced breakdown of "Emergency," Adam Tyler's inviting album is steeped in catchy, familiar electro-pop choruses, beats, and breakdowns.
A self-professed "pop geek," Tyler makes no secret of the influence of contemporary pop icons on Shattered Ice. However, in his songwriting he strives to prove that, in his words, "pop music has depth." In this department, he undeniably delivers. Beyond the catchy melodies of his heavy electro-pop production are Tyler's lyrics, which reel listeners in, hypnotized by an exposure to his own genuine emotional struggles.
Up next for the artist, Adam will head straight to Osaka, Japan on September 17, 2011 to partake in the Kansai Music Conference as a headlining act in KMC's Outdoor Showcase at Ecoll Izumi.

Diarrhea remains the second leading cause of death among children, although nearly all deaths could be prevented with the use of oral rehydration salts (ORS). There is little evidence demonstrating why ORS use remains low and what can be done to increase use. In this study, we conducted a field experiment designed to 1) measure the impact of several novel community health worker (CHW) interventions aimed at increasing ORS use and 2) isolate the role of two potentially important barriers to ORS use: price and inconvenience. We found that having CHWs switch to distributing ORS for free rather than charging led to sizable gains in ORS coverage and could reduce diarrhea mortality by about 20%. Inconvenience was not an important barrier.


This is one of world's most beautiful island chains made of 21 islands, islets, reefs and narrow passages forming a green and white line separating the open sea from Paklinski Channel. Legend says that the Paklinski Islands came into existence as a result of a secret love between the sea god Poseidon and a nymph. Even today it's easy to see why this lovely necklace of little islands that surrounds the town of Hvar is so special. Spend a day away from the crowded beaches, enjoy the sun in the serenity of hidden coves, swim in a clear-blue sea and relax in the untouched nature of the Paklinski Islands.
Perhaps the award for the quietest island in all the Mediterranean goes to Šćedro – located just a 30 minutes boat ride from Hvar, just eight square kilometers and just one place to stay! Wander through the remains of an ancient Dominican monastery, discover the island's wild landscape, vineyards and olive groves and then hit the beach for an exhilirating swim! As a natural harbor there are no shops or facilities, just a beautiful landscape to absorb and enjoy.
Although many consider Brač to be an island of olive growers, winegrowing and winemaking it is truly a small paradise on earth. Situated close to the mainland this island made mainly of karst it is also known for its tradition of sculpture, local supple white stone has been used by finest sculptors worldwide. Brač is one of the few Adriatic islands to have its own airport, 15 km northeast of Bol and nowadays the local community is working on the project by which the island airport would operate year round and serve as the base to connect the Adriatic islands in close proximity by hydroplanes. The most visited place in Brač is located on its southern coast and is its oldest town – Bol. Home to the famous fine pebble beach Zlatni rat, Bol is a small cosmopolitan haven and Zlatni rat location should be a must see point on your bucket list. Notice the unique geological formation of the beach and take a dip in the gorgeous clear blue water that has become Bol's trademark. Back in the town there are plenty of entertaining bars and restaurants while any shopping splurges can be quenched by a perusal of the open air market and many boutiques that line the harbor.
Vis island has a special place in the hearts of many Croatians who consider this a truly unspoiled example of the best of the Dalmatian coast. Its designation as a military base under Tito froze its development for more than 40 years, allowing farming and fishing to remain the dominant activities. Now tourism is taking over this remote island, one of the farthest from the mainland in Croatia. Vis has become a hot destination among those in the know who want a quiet getaway amid a gorgeous patch of clear sea which provides great fish, swimming and diving. Vis town was created through the union of two seaside communities joining the working harbor area with the neighborhood of food, fun and night-time action. The more secluded village of Komiža feels slightly more bohemian, it is a place where you can enjoy an easy-going Mediterranean pace and excellent pebbly beaches. The main tourist sight in Komiža is the palatial Venetian fortress and tower Kaštel. In Vis town you can find historic remains of Greek vessels, Roman baths and Baroque Austrian architecture. Worth mentioning is also the nearby islet of Biševo with its singular attraction – the Blue Cave. To visit the rest of the island it is best to hire a scooter and explore the inland with its building built in the mountains.
After spotting Korčula's adorable tiny houses, as you approach the island the scenery will make you dream of simple living. Korčula is the sixth largest island in the Croatian Adriatic and one of Dalmatia's most relaxing getaways. Its main attraction is the main town; guess the name – Korčula with its majestic maritime views featuring silky silhouettes of the neighboring islets and its historic centre. During the 15th century Korčula was renowned for the stone-carving skills of the local men. Fortunately some of the best work can still be seen on the facades of the town's buidings. Korcula is one of the last places where the Moreska, a traditional sword dance can still be seen. An interesting fact concerning the island has raised a lot of steamed discussions around the provenience of Marco Polo, for which is believed that it was born on the island. According to this theory his father was a merchant from Dalmatia named Maffeo Pilic, who Italianised his surname to Polo when he established himself in Venice.
Superb beaches, including the not easy to find sandy beaches, are to be found at Lumbarda and in the secluded coves of the south coast. This wooded green isle is beautiful to look at, even if you decide not to stop and explore what it has to offer.
Split is the main city in the Dalmatia region and one of the largest on the Adriatic coast. Teeming with culture, it is perfect to wander around and enjoy the beautiful architecture the city has to offer. Punctuate your time here with some well-timed stops at the numerous bars and cafes filling the streets. The city's Diocletian's Palace is one of the visual and cultural highlights. Small shops and houses still fill the enveloping walls with over 3000 occupants living within them; it is one of the best preserved examples of architecture from this period.
Split harbor is a lively marina with plenty of bars and restaurants ideal to spend the afternoon drinking the local beer while looking out over the boats and yachts drenched in the sunlight.
Trogir is a picturesque town arranged with parks which was first settled by Greeks from the island of Vis in 300 BC. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town reflects the influences of subsequent Roman, Hungarian, Venetian, French and Austrian rule. Trogir is situated on the Adriatic coast 30km north of Split. Its medieval core is placed on a small island between the island of Čiovo and the mainland; connected to the mainland by a small stone bridge and with the island of Čiovo by a drawbridge.
Trogir with its many palaces, churches, towers, and fortresses in every way deserves to be called 'the Stone Beauty'.
This formerly rather frumpy seaside town has in the last few years attracted some of Croatia's most visionary initiatives: the Garden club and its various festival offshoots; landmark public installations such as the 'Sea Organ' and 'Greeting to the Sun'; and the Arsenal, an arts centre in a beautifully-restored Venetian armory. Zadar is a historical Croatian town with a history dating three thousand years which connects the north with the south Croatia. Zadar is attractive for its looks and hospitable citizens, for many travelers and artists it can be compared with Venice and Dubrovnik. It is a city of rich spiritual and material culture and tourist tradition which treasures its archaeological riches and monuments of ancient, medieval and Renaissance periods. The tow is built around the roman forum with well-preserved ancient walls. It is full of archives, museums, libraries and literary and musical heritage. It is the city with the oldest university in Croatia (1396) and the birthplace of the first Croatian novel and first newspaper written in Croatian language. City cultural institutions and events feature music evenings in St. Donat, puppet shows and entertainment and sports spectacles. Despite taking a battering from the recession, Zadar's nightlife scene shows no sign of letting up, with a rash of new bars filling the gaps left by businesses that didn't quite make it through the crisis.
The City of Dubrovnik, located in the southern part of Croatia, is one of the rare pearl of the world`s cultural heritage. Dubrovnik and surroundings boast splendid vegetation, dominated by cypresses, pines, olives, oaks, vineyards, plantations of orange and lemon, aromatic plants and flowers, palms, agaves and cacti. Dubrovnik is the backdrop for HBO's "Game of Thrones"and it's hard to tell the real city from the fictional one. The Pearl of the Adriatic, as Dubrovnik is known, has prospered and persevered in equal measure since its birth in the 7th century and boasts exquisite physical perfection, with the Old City, jutting out into the sea, renowned for its intact defensive wall, towering forts, a characteristic red-tiled roofs cape and narrow, climbing streets.
Mljet is one of Croatia's hidden-gem islands. Situated about 70 minutes by ferry from Dubrovnik, Korčula or the Pelješac peninsula, the elongated island is home to one of Croatia's most beautiful Natural Parks. The island which is 32 kilometres long and about 3 kilometres wide rises like a sleeping green giant from the pristine waters of the Adriatic and believed to be the place where St Paul was shipwrecked on his way to Rome and is also reputed to be the bolt-hole of Odysseus and his nymphette Calypso. The island was once home to many poisonous snakes (vipers) but the problem was rectified by the introduction of the non-native mongoose, whose descendants can still be seen running between the trees of the thick pine forests.


I am not a networking cougar!
You are here: Home / Tools & Tips / Marketing / I am not a networking cougar!
I've been in "leads" groups before and in all honesty I don't usually like them. First, many of them meet weekly at 7 a.m. and frankly although I'm usually up at that hour, I prefer not to start my official work day until I've showered and had breakfast. And then there is the pressure of providing leads. I understand that's the concept of the whole organization but in reality a forced lead is usually a bad lead. Leads, a.ka. referrals. need to come from a place of authenticity for it to be a good lead. I need to know you and your business before I will bet my reputation on you by sending a client or prospect.
But in spite of my dislike of leads groups I chose to join the Breakfast Club recently. It's a great group of local business folks dedicated to helping build each others businesses by providing leads and introductions to each other. I felt confident in joining this group for a few reasons.
They have a strong "marketing" sphere. This will make it easy for me to collaborate with and provide referrals and introductions to other members of the group.
They meet at 9 a.m every other week instead of 7 a.m. every week.
The group itself is awesome! They seem happy, friendly and optimistic. That says alot these days.
This past Tuesday was my second official meeting and I really enjoyed myself. Later in the morning while having my teeth cleaned I had time to contemplate the meeting–who I talked to, who talked to me, who I should talk to, etc. And an interesting and somewhat disturbing thought occurred to me. The only people I approached were young men! I spoke with other people, but they had approached me. OMG they're going to think I'm a networking cougar! So just in case anyone noticed, I'd like to go on the record and say "I am not a networking cougar". Next time we meet, I'll make sure to approach folks of all ages and genders.

Fallkniven are famous for their quality knives and the HK9 is no exception. This is quite a beautiful and elegant knife which is however also quite practical. It comes with a polished Damascus steel blade that contains a core of CowryX powder which is not only attractive but extremely hard so this makes it very useful for a myriad number of tasks. This blade is extremely strong and also manages to keep the edge much better than any comparable blade in this price range. Although the knife is essentially a showcase model, it is useful to put it into practise. It shouldn't be left on show in some glass cabinet but should be used for some of those tasks for which a Fallkniven knife is famous such as skinning, hunting and chopping wood for camp fires. But then that's your personal choice after all!
But the HK9 is not only a blade to be reckoned with since it comes in a package with its own custom made sheath which is a work of art in itself. The leather is actually slightly more than 3mm thick and there is also a thick liner along the sewing to keep the sheath in its shape and the knife completely as well as safely in its place. Fallkniven say that the sheath should fit very tightly in your belt enabling one to push or pull the knife from its sheath with just one hand. The sheath should be kept as clean and dry as possible by using such materials as shoe shone polish. Grease should be avoided as this will make the leather soft and reduce its effectiveness. There is also the option of using a zytel sheath of the F1 variety which is completely waterproof and which fits the HK9 snugly like a glove.

Saudi Arabia Declares 9/11 Was An Inside Job
Posted by Aaron Kesel | May 23, 2016 |
The Saudi press is still furious over the U.S. Senate's unanimous vote approving a bill that allows the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia.
This time, the London-based Al-Hayat daily has claimed that the U.S. planned the attacks on the World Trade Center in order to create a global war on terror.
The article, written by Saudi legal expert Katib al-Shammari and translated by MEMRI, claims that American threats to expose documents that prove Saudi involvement in the attacks are part of a long-standing U.S. policy that he calls "victory by means of archives."
Al-Shammari claims that the U.S. chooses to keep some cards close to its chest in order to use them at a later date. One example is choosing not to invade Iraq in the 1990s and keeping its leader, Saddam Hussein, alive to use as "a bargaining chip" against other Gulf States. Only once Shi'ism threatened to sweep the region did America act to get rid of Hussein "since they no longer saw him as an ace up their sleeve."
He claims that the 9/11 attacks were another such card, enabling the U.S. to blame whoever suited its needs at a particular time; first it blamed Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, then Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, and now Saudi Arabia.
September 11 is one of winning cards in the American archives, because all the wise people in the world who are experts on American policy and who analyze the images and the videos [of 9/11] agree unanimously that what happened in the [Twin] Towers was a purely American action, planned and carried out within the U.S. Proof of this is the sequence of continuous explosions that dramatically ripped through both buildings. … Expert structural engineers demolished them with explosives, while the planes crashing [into them] only gave the green light for the detonation – they were not the reason for the collapse. But the U.S. still spreads blame in all directions.
The intention of the attacks, writes al-Shammari in his conspiracy article, was to create "an obscure enemy – terrorism – which became what American presidents blamed for all their mistakes" and that would provide justification for any "dirty operation" in other countries.
The terror label was applied to Muslims even though it was Muslims who helped America defeat the Soviets and bring an end to the Cold War, he writes. The problem, asserts al-Shammari, is that the U.S. must always find a new impetus to have an adversary, for "the nature of the U.S. is that it cannot exist without an enemy."
Al-Shammari's article comes amid a torrent of vociferous articles in the Saudi press that range from accusing the U.S. of being "schizophrenic" and in cahoots with Iran to publishing warnings that if passed, the "Satanic" bill would "open the gates of hell."

King Arthur went on a quest for the Holy Grail. Aeneas quested for a homeland after losing Troy. Bilbo Baggins made an epic quest through Middle-Earth to help his friends reclaim their dwarven kingdom.
Now it's the insurance industry's turn … to quest towards a digital transformation.
The quest plot requires the protagonist (in this case: insurer or broker) to leave a place of comfort (old-school business) in search of a place, item, person or understanding (digital innovation). Some insurers and brokers are chapters into their digital plot, while others remain frozen at the intro, or worse – the title.
As tales go, the digital quest is not a new phenomenon. Numerous other industries have walked this path before. The macro picture would suggest that the story tends to end the same way – embracing technology is advantageous and ignoring it brings risks of obsolescence.
"Digital innovation can be scary if you haven't been through it before. My advice would be for the insurance industry to look at comparable industries for a blueprint, or at least some guidelines, to see how the story ends and the different paths the plot might take," said Fil Firmani, vice president or product management at Duck Creek Technologies – a provider of P&C insurance software and services.
For insurance brokers, automation is a bit of a glass half-empty, glass half-full scenario, according to Firmani. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled insurers to automate many data-driven processes that were originally dealt with by brokers. With time, the capabilities of AI are only going to expand, putting more pressure on the broker channel.
Insurance, unlike a lot of products, often needs extra touch time and human explanation. Even with the use of AI to automatically produce coverages and premium quotes, there will always be a percentage of people who want to ask questions and gain better understanding.

PepsiCo's Rockstar unveils 'emboldened new look and attitude'
27-Apr-2021 - Last updated on 27-Apr-2021 at 09:18 GMT

Related tags: Pepsico, Rockstar, Energy drinks
Having acquired Rockstar last year, PepsiCo is now giving the energy drink brand a new push in international markets.
A new visual identity, created by PepsiCo's Global Design team, focuses on bold packaging: modernizing the star logo with a color palette of metallic gold and black across the brand portfolio.
The new visual identity has been designed to "elevate the brand and make it more distinctive and inviting for our consumers around the world," according to PepsiCo's design team.
Meanwhile, a new campaign, 'Life is Your Stage', marks the first major international effort for Rockstar since the acquisition, with PepsiCo accelerating the brand's expansion into new markets. It wants to more than double the geographical footprint of the brand over the next three years.
'Life is Your Stage' debuts with three pieces of content 'that celebrate the grit and determination of those powering through their daily hustle'.
Mark Kirkham, Vice President and General Manager, Sports, Energy & Juice, Global Beverages, PepsiCo, said the company sees rising demand for functional beverages. "Energy is a growth category we see accelerating around the world - and one that is overdue for a refresh.
"With this global campaign, we want to redefine how consumers see Rockstar Energy Drink and celebrate hardworking, passionate hustlers who want to get things done."
PepsiCo announced the $3.85bn acquisition of Rockstar Energy Beverages in March last year: eying up 'a highly strategic acquisition to enable us to leverage PepsiCo's capabilities to both accelerate Rockstar's performance and unlock our ability to expand in the category with existing brands such as Mountain Dew.'
Rockstar contains B vitamins, ginseng, and taurine; alongside caffeine and guarana for an energy boost. Rockstar products are currently available in 20 flavors, including zero-sugar varieties, at convenience and grocery outlets in 30 countries around the world.
This month, the brand branched out into new territory with the launch of Rockstar Energy + Hemp in Germany: marking PepsiCo's first foray into the hemp category.
