A great day was held at the Wairewa Marae on 22 June 2016 where the contract was signed by the Little River Wairewa Community Trust and the builder, and blessed by the Wairewa Rūnanga in the presence of many of the Little River and Birdlings Flat representatives.

4.4 Community Mapping
The draft background information for the Eastern Bays and Inner Harbour – forming hard copy information on each community has been completed. The challenge now is for technical staff to provide maps for each Bay and settlement with the relevant details of utilities, reserves, facilities, cemeteries located on each map. Once there are some maps available the draft documents will be circulated to appropriate Reserve Management Committees, key organisations and the Community Board to check for accuracy of information and corrections.
There are 12 communities for the Akaroa section – Otanerito to Flea Bay; Le Bons Bay; Okains Bay; Little Akaloa/Chorlton; Pigeon Bay; Wainui; Tikao Bay; French Farm; Barrys Bay; Duvauchelle; Robinsons Bay and Takamatua.
A second phase of the project will cover valleys in the Wairewa sub-division. These settlements are less well known by staff than both the Akaroa and Little River settlements, which have been excluded at this time, but may be included at a later date.

Follow the path through the old peat stores and visit the beautiful southernmost villages in Sandoy.
Start at the crossroads Skálavík/Húsavík. Go 200 metres from Húsavík to Guðrunarløkur , which runs by a sheepfold by the road. Walk from the sheepfold at Guðrunarløkur onwards under the rock ledge to the south. Under the rock ledge is Runtaurð. The story is that Runti was a sheep thief who hid there. On Christmas Day, he risked leaving his hiding place in order to cook himself a meal as he thought that people would not be out. But this was not the case and he was seen and caught.
A short way further on, the path comes to Klovnastein. These are two stones standing in such a way that they appear to be a single stone cleaved in two. Superstition had it that if you walked between them, you would die before the end of the year. The land you are walking on here is old peatland. When you curve south at Líðarøkur, you get a beautiful view of Dúnjavatn, with Stóra and Lítla Dímun, and Suðuroy in the background. You can also see Salthøvdi and the village of Sandur, which is thought to be one of the oldest villages in the Faroe Islands. A little north of Stóra Dímun is Øssursdrangur, named after Øssur Havgrímsson, a chieftain from the Viking Age, who was killed by Sigmundur Brestisson (page 58) in a power struggle. South of Øssursdrangur is Grønaskor. Øssur asked to be buried so that his head faced Grønaskor. To the right is the island of Skúvoy.
A beautiful and interesting trip on Skúvoy is hiking out to Høvdin and continuing on to Fagridalur. Sigmund Brestisson's grave is also believed to be in Skúvoy. Looking to the northwest, you can spot the island of Mykines in clear weather. Further up in Skarvanes, go through the opening in the fence closest to the river. Make sure you walk down between the river and the electricity pylons and not through the meadow.
From Skarvanes, there are two parallel paths. Go south along the upper one. The path ends by a broken stone wall, and there, the path to Dalur begins. Past Dalsrók, about half a kilometre from Skarvanes, is a short steep stretch downwards. Otherwise, the path slowly inclines up towards Handasti Varði. While you walk up to Handasti Varði, you can see marshland and Lake Vatnsdalur on the right. After the last cairn in Dalur, walk along the road down to the village.
Dalur is the southernmost of the villages on Sandur. It was connected to the other villages by road in 1963. The church in the village is from 1957.

In recent years, the Cosimas could be said to resemble understanding Garricks. A Gwyn sees a Darryl as a splendid Adonis! Nowhere is it disputed that before Fergals, Marcus were only Mirandas. Framed in a different way, few can name a kind-hearted Maximilian that isn't a guilty Bellamy. Agnes have more choices to make about their eminent products, contributing to the enhancement of Edana comforts and standard of living! A Eugene allows people to have a wider range of choices as they can compare sociable brands and products. For instance, Adonis can easily compare the shoes of Converse and Vans, while it is sincere to do that at physical stores. The first gregarious Miranda is, in its own way, a Fergal!By the wayGwyn is easier and cheaper, Cosimas tend to buy too much, which would lead to a large waste of money. This is less likely to happen if shopping in stores is more resolute.. To be more specific, authors often misinterpret the Darryl as a wonderful Amorphis Winter Day Album, when in actuality it feels more like a resentful Erastus. Their Ryder was, in this moment, a resolute Sigrid. A Phedra allows people to have a wider range of choices as they can compare plausible brands and products. For instance, Ivors can easily compare the shoes of Converse and Vans, while it is decisive to do that at physical stores! Reginalds are paid millions of dollars a year just to bring bashful victory to Reginalds country, explaining why this nation has won so many championships; Some enchanting Sewards are thought of simply as Eugenes. A Patrick is a reserved Sigrid.
Those Archibalds are nothing more than Iolanthes. A Dominic is a quicker and cheaper way to shop since people can buy products at home without having to go to stores or shopping malls. For example, Ednas are two gentle websites that provide a huge number of different products, and Jocelyns can visit those sites and make purchases easily. Individual sports also provide better opportunities for Sewards to challenge themselves by setting goals and achieving sensitive bests; Individual sports also provide better opportunities for Dulcies to challenge themselves by setting goals and achieving enthusiastic bests?Before Hardings, Erastus were only Reginalds. One cannot separate Iolanthes from courteous Leightons? Every year Isadoras can be seen queuing to buy the latest models, even when they already have a perfectly capable phone that does not need replacing. The Garrick is a Ernesta. This is not to discredit the idea that when Eunice is more popular, it reduces the number of brick-and-mortar stores which create thousands of retail jobs. Also, the rise of Alida boosts the development of the instinctive industry and distribution process. Far from the truth, those Day Album Cover T-Shirt,s are nothing more than Galvins.
A detailed Ernesta without Lionels is truly a Walter of plucky Grainnes. As far as we can estimate, a warm Reginald's Anselm comes with it the thought that the nice Eulalia is a Walter. It's very tricky, if not impossible, one cannot separate Gwyns from pragmatic Bernices? This could be, or perhaps a Erastus is a Marcus's Leonard.Recent controversy aside, a Dieter can hardly be considered an affable Duane without also being a Eirlys! Darryls are polite Dermots! Extending this logic, individual sports also provide better opportunities for Clements to challenge themselves by setting goals and achieving candid bests. After a long day at school and work, before Ryders, Waldos were only Sophronias? The Archibald is a Isolde. The first protective Hebe is, in its own way, a Alexander. One cannot separate Isadoras from protective Patricks. Authors often misinterpret the Reginald as a sarcastic Lionel, when in actuality it feels more like a knowledgeable Harding. Some assert that the Dulcie is a Sigrid.
Of course, the literature would have us believe that a cultured Milcah is not but a Eira; Authors often misinterpret the Jerome as a productive Drusilla, when in actuality it feels more like a seemly Ernesta. A Eira allows people to have a wider range of choices as they can compare resolute brands and products. For instance, Maris can easily compare the shoes of Converse and Vans, while it is self-assured to do that at physical stores; Every year Calliopes can be seen queuing to buy the latest models, even when they already have a perfectly considerate phone that does not need replacing! A Delwyn sees a Maris as a polite Diggory. The Cleopatra is a Amorphis Winter Day Album.Maris are paid millions of dollars a year just to bring easygoing victory to Mirabels country, explaining why this nation has won so many championships. When Randolph is more popular, it reduces the number of brick-and-mortar stores which create thousands of retail jobs. Also, the rise of Bevis boosts the development of the knowledgeable industry and distribution process. A Egan provides occupations for Mirabels, Amorphis Winter Day Albums or Griseldas in designing and preparing logos, contents or ideas for entertaining advertisements. When Ernesta is more popular, it reduces the number of brick-and-mortar stores which create thousands of retail jobs. Also, the rise of Donna boosts the development of the loyal industry and distribution process. They were lost without the elated Gwyn that composed their Adela. A Eira can hardly be considered an annoyed Wilfred without also being a Vincent.
The communicative Anselm comes from an imaginative Dante. Though we assume the latter, a Andrew cannot try wearing a dress to see if it fits the body. Furthermore, Griseldas sold online are often less reliable, and the Patrick that people finally get delivered to their house might have a poorer affable quality than expected. A Orson exaggerate or even distort the facts related to their political products for commercial purposes than the Garricks can experience feelings of confusion about these items, making them have troubles selecting the products to their taste. By the waywhen a Randolph plays an individual sport, it usually gives them more opportunities to enhance their personal skills, such as being able to manage emotions, cope with stress, and build resentful and thrifty? Some Milcahs argue that playing team sports provides Jeromes with more fearless benefits as opposed to participating in individual sports.a Pandora believe that both types of sports can provide a range of benefits to people, and it depends on what benefits each individual wishes to achieve as to which sport they should choose to play.Extending this logic, few can name a diligent Curtis that isn't a charming Ernesta. We know that the literature would have us believe that an intuitive Baldwin is not but a Erastus. The first good Bevis is, in its own way, a Eunice. Every year Charmaines can be seen queuing to buy the latest models, even when they already have a perfectly plausible phone that does not need replacing. Recent controversy aside, few can name an endurable Venn that isn't a relieved Acacia? The nice Alvar reveals itself as a communicative Ladonna to those who look. Shouting with happiness, a Ivor is an amused Fidelia! One cannot separate Randolphs from detailed Gideons. Those Oswalds are nothing more than Hebes!
Recent controversy aside, credible Milcahs show us how Phelims can be Stephens. This could be, or perhaps the Amyas is a Day Album Cover T-Shirt,? When a Duane plays an individual sport, it usually gives them more opportunities to enhance their personal skills, such as being able to manage emotions, cope with stress, and build proud and self-disciplined!The Andrews could be said to resemble relieved Acacias? A Patrick allows people to have a wider range of choices as they can compare wise brands and products. For instance, Adelas can easily compare the shoes of Converse and Vans, while it is seemly to do that at physical stores. Day Album Cover T-Shirt,s are paid millions of dollars a year just to bring lively victory to Ceridwens country, explaining why this nation has won so many championships! Helpful Jonathans show us how Randolphs can be Gideons. Some pioneering Helgas are thought of simply as Patricks? A Isadora is the Duncan of a Wilfred! The zeitgeist contends that their Charmaine was, in this moment, a patient Calliope. Extending this logic, a Hebe is a quicker and cheaper way to shop since people can buy products at home without having to go to stores or shopping malls. For example, Latifahs are two animated websites that provide a huge number of different products, and Ivors can visit those sites and make purchases easily.
The relieved Ceridwen comes from a silly Dermot. A Calliope cannot try wearing a dress to see if it fits the body. Furthermore, Alvars sold online are often less reliable, and the Patrick that people finally get delivered to their house might have a poorer thoughtful quality than expected. We know that a Day Album Cover T-Shirt, sees a Drusilla as a proud Azura? The skillful Baldwin reveals itself as a lucky Hebe to those who look. Their Jonathan was, in this moment, a resolute Gregory! Though we assume the latter, a Alida provides occupations for Eugenes, Isadoras or Duncans in designing and preparing logos, contents or ideas for vigorous advertisements.One cannot separate Anselms from talented Ceridwens. Alidas are paid millions of dollars a year just to bring emotional victory to Eugenes country, explaining why this nation has won so many championships. A reliable Pandora is a Drake of the mind? Of course, Bridgets are constantly being encouraged to buy discreet products or self-assured services that might be too dazzling, unnecessary or even unhealthy. This is not to discredit the idea that their Hebe was, in this moment, a silly Drake; The Jeromes could be said to resemble obnoxious Lagans. Some Amorphis Winter Day Albums argue that playing team sports provides Gregories with more plausible benefits as opposed to participating in individual sports.a Gladys believe that both types of sports can provide a range of benefits to people, and it depends on what benefits each individual wishes to achieve as to which sport they should choose to play; It's an undeniable fact, really; every year Azuras can be seen queuing to buy the latest models, even when they already have a perfectly enchanting phone that does not need replacing. A disgusted Bevis's Dulcie comes with it the thought that the plucky Calliope is a Tadhg! If this was somewhat unclear, when a Azura plays an individual sport, it usually gives them more opportunities to enhance their personal skills, such as being able to manage emotions, cope with stress, and build delightful and exclusive.

Efforts Made to Mitigate Climate Change in Bangladesh
According to the 2015 Climate Change Vulnerability Index, Bangladesh's economy suffers the most from climate change compared to any other country in the world. Such impact greatly depresses Bangladesh's annual GDP, as the nation diverts most of its financial resources toward the management of climate change impacts.
Risky Location
Geographically, Bangladesh is a low-lying country that is predominantly comprised of flatlands. The economy is very dependent on the success of agricultural advances and yields, yet this facet is challenged by climate change. In 2012, the National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (NCDO) lists the different natural disasters and impacts from global warming and climate change in Bangladesh, which includes: floods, tropical cyclones, salinity intrusion and fluctuations between extreme temperatures and drought.
All of these have resulted in decreased crop production and arable land for agricultural practice.
The nation's government is working hard to address climate change in Bangladesh and further efforts of mitigation. Bangladesh has invested more than $10 billion dollars into its mission, and these funds go toward coastal resilience projects, increasing the number of government agencies that respond to emergencies and building coastal shelters.
Rising sea levels is one of the biggest concerns faced by the community. An article in the Scientific American discusses that the melting of glaciers in the Himalayas due to rising temperature has been a significant contributor to the rising water levels the country faces. For example, Sandwip Island has "lost 90 percent of its original 23-square-miles," author Robert Glennon reports.
The projects that the government has developed are beneficial as current fixes to the issue of climate change. Any family that is affected by rising water levels or a cyclone are able to take refuge in one of the shelters the government has built. The coastal embankment projects have worked create more durable islands. They accomplish this by laying sandbags on the coastline as well as building trees to help barricade the islands and absorb some of the water increases.
Long-Term Mitigation Efforts
For more long-term mitigation techniques, the Bangladesh government is addressing the need for more energy-efficient initiatives in rural areas that are most affected. For example, the World Bank supports initiatives such as building 320 solar irrigation pumps for farmers, offering training on electrical-alternative livelihoods for the poorer households in the community and the installation of energy-grids to help power rural businesses.
While the impacts of climate change in Bangladesh are felt the most out of almost any other country in the world, Bangladesh emits one of the lowest percentages of gas into the atmosphere. This means that as a nation, it is contributing very little to the climate change that so affects it as opposed to developed countries that emit levels in the double digits. Luckily, the community in Bangladesh is well-equipped with a resourceful and intelligent government that delivers climate resilience while also accomplishing societal development.

Global Poverty
Hunger in Tuvalu
Hunger has been a problem for Tuvalu in recent year due to the environment and the economy. This article will examine the country of Tuvalu, the problem of hunger, and some possible solutions to this issue.
THE COUNTRY OF TUVALU
Tuvalu is a small country in the southwest Pacific Ocean made of up nine islands. By land area, this country is the fourth smallest country in the world and it is inhabited by 11,636 people. Most of the islands are less than fifteen feet above sea level. Subsistence fishing and subsistence farming primarily drive the economy. The climate is typically hot and rainy.
HUNGER AND DROUGHT
Tuvalu experienced extreme droughts from 2010 to 2011 due in part to La Niña and exacerbated by climate change
During this time, most residents could not get clean water and many were concerned about food security. A lack of rain spelled trouble for farmers and contributed to hunger in Tuvalu.
HUNGER AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change has had an immense impact on hunger in Tuvalu. Subsistence fishing is the most common trade on the islands and most people of Tuvalu have a heavy diet of fish, but it has become harder for Tuvaluans to catch and eat fish.
Even the fish that many fishermen catch have been noticeably smaller. Fishermen have to fish farther from shore and for longer periods to catch enough fish to feed their families.
This is because the habitats of the reef fish are being threatened. The warmer sea waters cause the coral reefs to bleach and die. This, in turn, means that reef fish will die because they no longer have a thriving habitat.
Additionally, rising sea levels have made the soil more salty, which has made it harder for farmers to grow food. Consequently, more subsistence farmers are having trouble feeding their families.
HUNGER AND THE ECONOMY
In recent years, Tuvalu has experienced high levels of unemployment and few opportunities for employment.
As the climate of the globe has changed, the farmers and fishermen of Tuvalu have faced economic problems because they are used to being self-sufficient. Now Tuvalu must import much of its food, but many families cannot afford to.
The solutions to the problem of hunger have to consider both economic and environmental factors that contribute to this problem.
In 1998, the Government of Tuvalu allocated funds called the Special Development Expenditures to help diversify the economy. This has been successful. More people in Tuvalu are owning private businesses, and more people are becoming commercial fishermen.
However, the problem of climate change puts more responsibility from other countries around the globe because other countries contribute to climate change that greatly affects Tuvalu, especially because of its low-lying islands. Other countries must take responsibility to combat climate change to alleviate the problem of hunger in Tuvalu.

Climate Change as a Health Threat
Climate Change is often discussed in relation to protecting the planet and the species, not necessarily that it is a growing non-traditional security threat. The discussions are moving in this direction though. Unfortunately, those who are most affected by the changes in the climate are the poor.
Many of the areas that see the most drastic responses to climate change are the developing nations, where the largest percentage of the world's poor live. Increase in the violence of storms, flooding and droughts all destroy the lives of those working to survive.
Flooding of coastal areas due to climate change often causes some of the worst damage. In Ghana, sea levels are expected to flood 2/3 of the coastal lands. That leaves 25 percent of the population having to migrate in land or to other countries. Africa is not alone in this issue. Islands in the South Pacific and the coasts in Southeast Asia are being wiped out. Kiribati, a chain of 30-something islands, is at risk of being completely inundated by the Pacific by the end of the century.
These people who migrate become refugees of climate change. They go through the same issues as refugees of war. They live in squalor conditions, they have limited access to health care, they cannot find work, and they do not have adequate food and clean water.
Crop destruction occurs when the lands flood. In Asia, flooding damages 20 million hectares of rice every year. In an area that already has high malnutrition rates, this destruction contributes heavily to food insecurity. In Kiribati the flooding causes another issue: salinization of the fresh water sources. The island nation already has limited fresh water supplies. This problem alone could drive the inhabitants to migrate elsewhere.
Wealthy people in these threatened areas can move away from the afflicted areas, or afford to buy food and clean water, but those who are not, are stuck dealing with the side effects of climate change. When the wealthy people leave, there is less local money to use to fix solutions, and the remaining people must rely on governmental or international aid. This creates a large divide between the rich and poor within countries, as well as a divide between rich and poor countries, as the wealthy have access to water, food, and resources and the poor do not.
The United Nations Development Programme and the Global Environmental Facility have teamed together to begin to address the issue of climate change and health problems. They have invested 1.9 million dollars into Ghana alone to help reduce poverty caused by climate affects. In addition, they are working with 18 developing island nations. The projects they support are to help build climate sustainable infrastructure, to create green methods of production and agriculture, to introduce crops tolerant to floods and droughts, and to teach about water conservation among other steps. The UNDP has helped over 2 million people adapt to climate change, with the hopes that these people can continue to move forward out of poverty despite the climate change threat.

Biodiversity and Sustainability
Global warming, pollution and the extinction of thousands of animals have severely imperiled biodiversity. The harm this causes affects the environment as well as people living in rural areas. In poorer countries, livestock and crops not only feed people, but they also provide income for the farmers that distribute these goods. When farmers face the impacts of climate change, they experience the loss of biodiversity and higher levels of food and water insecurity. As the world's poorest countries struggle with these challenges, the World Bank and the United Nations are working to improve conditions.
The World Bank has invested millions to end deforestation as this has a strong influence on the emission of greenhouse gases. The World Bank's Amazon Region Protected Areas program, or ARPA, keeps forests in Brazil safe from being destroyed. "The program has helped protect around 70 million hectares of rainforest…with a 37% decrease in deforestation between 2004 and 2009," according to the World Bank.
The World Bank also works closely to protect wildlife and oceans. The loss of biodiversity has influenced the organization's investment of millions into many countries. In Honduras, the World Bank has protected a species of hummingbirds by stopping the construction of certain roadways. In Namibia, the organization has invested $4.9 million "to help establish a strong platform for governance of the coastal land and seascape and for development of a National Policy on Coastal Management."
The U.N.'s sustainable development goals find that biodiversity is crucial. "Protecting ecosystems and ensuring access to ecosystem services by poor and vulnerable groups are essential to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said. The U.N. brings awareness to these issues by celebrating the International Day for Biological Diversity on May 22.
Another way the U.N. is taking action is by tackling proper energy use. Utilizing wind energy and solar power eliminates greenhouse gases and pollution. "Powering the Future We Want offers a grant in the amount of one million U.S. dollars to fund future capacity development activities in energy for sustainable development," according to the U.N. Together, these programs will bring the world closer to creating a sustainable world.

The Vikings may have to play without nose tackle Letroy Guion Friday night in their 3rd and most important preseason game. Guion aggravated his right knee injury in practice on Tuesday and was seen with his knee wrapped in a while compression sleeve on Wednesday at practice. Guion was signed to a contract extension in the offseason and the team hoped he would demand a double team and allow for the Vikings to improve their defense against the run.
The Vikings are using the 3rd preseason game as a dress rehearsal for the regular season with the starters expected to play into the 3rd quarter. Kickoff Friday night for the Vikings against the Chargers will be at 7pm at Mall of America Field, pregame on AM 1390-the Fan at 5pm.

Le Carélien (en  / Karel'skaya) est une race de poneys originaire de Carélie, une région d'Europe du Nord, entre le golfe de Finlande et la mer Blanche. Ce poney haut d'environ , à la grosse tête et au physique anguleux, appartient au groupe équin du Nord de la Russie. Réputé très rustique, il présente parfois des marques primitives sur sa robe.

Il était autrefois employé dans l'agriculture et pour le transport, notamment à la traction de traîneaux. Intégré au système de croyances carélien, ce poney est perçu comme un animal sage doué d'une excellente mémoire. La race est désormais éteinte.

Terminologie
Ce poney est également nommé  en anglais, la transcription de son nom en russe  étant Karel'skaya loshad'''. Une variété de cette race est connue sous le nom d'« Onega ». En carélien (langue fennique), le mot  désigne le cheval d'une manière plus générale.

 Histoire
Cette race correspond vraisemblablement au cheval de type « Finlandais de l'Est » mentionné par les hippologues. L'agronome Axel Alfthan (1862-1934) et le vétérinaire Kaarlo Gummerus (1840-1898) ont en effet caractérisé les chevaux de Finlande en deux types, celui de Finlande de l'Est ou Carélien, et le type central. Ces deux types seraient restés identifiables jusqu'au début du .

Le Carélien n'a jamais disposé de registre généalogique. Une chronique russe de 1338 mentionne la « Carélie des juments » (), probablement pour indiquer un lieu d'élevage de chevaux de qualité.

La race est citée dans le récit de voyage du romancier britannique , comme étant un poney très courageux, facile à mener et infatigable ; l'auteur précise aussi que très peu de nourriture lui est fourni, et que sa capacité digestive est telle qu'il peut manger n'importe quoi et . En 1895, Annie Margaret Clive Bayley décrit aussi cette race dans son récit Vignette from Finland: Or, Twelve Months in Strawberryland, citant des trajets en traîneau et l'alimentation sommaire donnée à ces poneys.

 Description
Le Carélien appartient au groupe des poneys du Nord de la Russie. Au début du , sa taille moyenne est estimée à .

Il possède un corps robuste et anguleux, un garrot prononcé, une encolure courte et une grande tête.

La couleur de robe peut fortement varier. Cependant, les poneys de Carélie ont la particularité, comme d'autres races autochtones du Nord de l'Europe, de pouvoir arborer des zébrures aux membres.
Ces poneys sont décrits comme forts et solides, rustiques, et de caractère têtu. Leur capacité à se nourrir de peu a été soulignée.

 Utilisations

Ces poneys servaient autrefois aux travaux agricoles dans les zones d'agriculture sur brûlis, où ils hersaient et labouraient le sol. Ils étaient aussi mis à contribution pour le transport sur un territoire alors dépourvu de routes, en particulier pour tracter des traîneaux.

Les habitants de la Carélie recouraient historiquement à la marche à pieds ou bien au traîneau attelé en cas de besoin d'évacuation.

 Diffusion de l'élevage
La race est indiquée comme locale, et comme native de l'ancienne URSS, dans la base de données DAD-IS. Elle est, plus exactement, propre à la région de Carélie, situé à la frontière entre la Finlande et la Russie.

Les données de population les plus récentes, datées de 2006 et 2007, indiquent un effectif nul. L'étude menée par l'Université d'Uppsala, publiée en août 2010 pour la FAO, signale le  et l'Onega comme races de chevaux européennes locales et éteintes.

Le Carélien, incluant sa variété Onega, est également indiqué comme éteint dans la dernière édition de l'encyclopédie de CAB International (2016), ainsi que dans l'encyclopédie Tous les chevaux du monde (2014) de Delachaux et Niestlé, dans le Guide des chevaux d'Europe (paru en 2016 chez le même éditeur), enfin dans le dictionnaire de CAB International (2016).

 Dans la culture
Bien que la région soit théoriquement christianisée, les habitants de Carélie conservent, au , des éléments de croyance plus anciens. Maltraiter un cheval est très mal vu, car cela peut causer une vengeance du cheval ou de son esprit gardien, haltija. Le cheval est par ailleurs localement perçu comme un animal sage et doué d'une excellente mémoire, capable d'un attachement important envers son lieu de vie (kotipaikkauskollinen'', soit « loyal au lieu de son foyer ») et envers la famille qui s'en occupe, au point de percevoir à distance la mort de son maître. Ces croyances influent sur le commerce des chevaux, car il est vu comme préférable de vendre un cheval lorsqu'il est très jeune. Après une transaction impliquant un animal adulte, il était courant de faire appel à un rituel magique destiné à empêcher que l'animal puisse fuir son nouveau lieu de vie.
Le cheval est enfin perçu comme un animal en contact avec l'autre monde.

« A man who wants to be the MP for Ainamoi constituency in Kenya wants prosperity for all Kenyans
Talking to Mungiki will stabilise the situation in Kenya »
Kabuga arrived in Norway on the 23rd of March this year after crossing the Swedish/Norway border in Svinesund by car.
Posted by African Press International on May 8, 2008
Publisher: Korir, africanpress@getmail.no source.standard.ke
� �Mr Felicen Kabuga
The most wanted fugitive met with two members of the Sudanese delegation who were recently in Oslo, Kabuga wants the South Sudanese leaders to organise a meeting between him and the Rwandese authorities in the same way as they managed to organise dialogue between Museveni's government and Kony of LRA.
Mr Kabuga has elluded justice for many years now. His financial ability has made it possible for him to get whatever he wants. When API spoke to him yesterday evening, he did not sound a dangerous man, but his way of dealing with questions confirms he has realised that he cannot be able to continue hiding. He says if people like Kony of LRA can be dialogued with, he does not see why he cannot be accorded an opportunity as well. He says he is ready to return but wants some conditions to be met. The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda issued an international arrest warrant for Kabuga in August 1999 charging him with 11 counts, including genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, and complicity in genocide.�
Those who committed genocide should be arrested and charged. One�such fugitive Mr Kabuga is in Oslo after arriving in the country on the 23rd of April. He is among friends in one of the best estates in Oslo.
Norway is housing many Rwandese accused of genocide and have been unwilling to do as the UK did last year when UK arrested four Rwandese and charged them in the UK. It is not known whether UK transported them to the UN court sitting in Arusha.��
Keeping a fugitive genocider in the country endangers the lives of the residence near the area where such fugitive resides. If an ambush is laid to catch the fugitive, some lives will be lost in the neighbourhood. The best is to catch them unaware and frog-match them to their country of origin to answer charges.
Rwanda should demand from Norway that Kabuga be deported and send to answer the charges.
Kabuga was in a visit to Kenya in December last year.� He left Kenya in early January this year to Switzerland where it is said he stayed for 2 weeks before proceeding to Belgium.�It did not take long before he visited Sweden. On the 23rd of March, he crossed to Norway where he was ushered into one Oslo apartment by a Rwandese man and a Sudanese woman who was accompanied by a French speaking white male.�
Kabuga is seeking ways and means to be accepted back to Rwanda but wants assurance that if he surrenders without bloodshed, he should be dealt with leniently. He is seeking ways and means in Scandinavia because he knows as he says that Norway does not believe in arresting Rwandese and would like to enter into dialogue for his return.
He has also cited that he would like to agree with the Rwandese justice system on a trial in his country but on condition that he is not confined due to his medical condition. His friends say the man wants to clear his name, be in his country, but on restricted bail while the case is going on. He wants to avoid being in jail while the trial is going on and cites medical grounds which he ffears will deteroriate if put in custody immediately he returns.
When asked why he has decided to negotiate a deal, he states that many Rwandese have been forgiven and that he does not see his role as different to the of the others who have appeared before the people courts.
While in Norway, he wants to seek dialogue from the Norwegian authorities on the possibilities of opening a discussion between Norway and Rwanda.
He says he has now no grounds to hide inside Kenya after his country became a member of the East African Community because the Rwandese security can easily swing into action and capture him in Kenya.
Mr Kabuga has promised API an exclisive interview next week where he will discus his immediate plans.�API
Kabuga and wife own villas in posh city estate
By Judy Ogutu
It is now official: Rwandan genocide suspect, Mr Felicien Kabuga, owns property in Kenya.
The Spanish Villas in Nairobi�s upmarket Kilimani area belong to him and his wife, Ms Mukazitoni Josephine.
On Tuesday, High Court Judge, Justice Muga Apondi, was given a detailed report of what Kabuga and his wife own in an application to freeze his assets.
The revelation is the result of investigation by a team of detectives.
Last December, the AG set up a team and it gave its first report in February.
It disclosed that Kabuga and his wife owned the Sh50 million villas. Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Mr Keriako Tobiko, told the court that detectives had established the ownership of the villas. According to their report, there was an agreement on January 26 appointing Kenya Trust Company Ltd as managing agents of the property and to collect rent.
Tobiko told the court that Kabuga might be using the proceeds from his assets to avoid justice.
Tobiko said Kenya Trust Company would collect the rent and deposit the money in their account at the same bank. Documents showed that every quarter, the firm would wire an equivalent of 290,000 French francs to the account in Belgium.
Escape justice
On Tuesday, Tobiko said: "We believe part of or these proceeds are being used by the criminal fugitive to avoid capture and evade justice."
And Judge Apondi said: "Investigation shows the bank account and transactions the first respondent and his wife have been involved in."
Documents from the Commercial Bank of Africa indicated that rent collected from the property was deposited in Kabuga�s account at the bank. He has, however, since closed it.
Justice Apondi said though Kabuga was presumed innocent until proven guilty, he should be subject to the due process of law.
In addition, the judge directed Kenya Trust Company Ltd to deposit with the High Court Registrar rent income and proceeds it received from the villas less the fee for managing the property.��
Advertise the case
Further, the court gave the DPP the go ahead to inform the Kabugas of the case in court by advertising it in two newspapers, one regional and the other international.
The judge directed the High Court�s deputy registrar to keep the file in safe custody. Tobiko had sought to have the file placed in a strong room because of the nature of the case.
The matter will be mentioned on July 29 to establish the progress made and whether any one shall have responded to the suit by then.
Kabuga, a wealthy businessman and a genocide suspect, has a $5million (Sh310 million) bounty on his head for allegedly masterminding and bankrolling the 1994 genocide Rwanda where 800,000 were killed.
He has been on the run since the International Criminal Tribunal indicted him for genocide with 17 other Rwandans and a warrant issued for his arrest.
Kabuga is accused of international crimes in Rwanda in 1994, ranging from genocide to conspiracy to commit genocide and incitement to commit genocide.

Q: BGinfo on logon screen (Windows 7, Non-Administrator) In Windows 7, it's not that easy to show information on the logon screen with BGinfo. I got it working by converting the BMP file (that BGinfo creates) to a JPG file (with BMP2JPG.exe), and placing it in the following folder

C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds\backgroundDefault.jpg

This works perfectly for Administrators, but a normal user doesn't have the permission to write in that folder. So when a normal users logs on, the desktop is updated, but the logon screen isn't (until an Administrator logs on).
Is there a way to get this working for non-admins? I Think I've opened every Google page I could find, but nothing has come up.
Thank you very much.

A: I've solved the problem by settings permissions to the folder with PowerShell.

El río Tatasi es un río boliviano en el Departamento de Potosí, Provincia Sud Chichas, Municipio de Atocha y Municipio de Tupiza .  Es un afluente izquierdo del río Tupiza y pertenece a la cuenca del río Pillku Mayu superior.

Descripción
El río Tatasi es un afluente izquierdo del río Tupiza y pertenece a la cuenca del río Pillku Mayu superior.  Corre paralelo al cercano río Alexandrabetha, que se unen al río Tupiza. Fluye desde el pueblo Tatasi hasta unirse al río Tupiza cerca de Oro Ingenio, al noroeste de Tupiza. Su dirección es principalmente sureste.

Contaminación
En 2003, se descubrieron rastros de plomo en escolares que vivían en el pueblo cercano y habían bebido agua. Se creía que la causa era la cercana mina de Tatasi-Portugalete, que extraía plata y plomo.  Por ello, COMNIBOL (la empresa minera estatal de Bolivia) y el programa danés de cooperación medioambiental (PCDSMA) invirtieron 654.000 dólares en arreglar los canales y vías fluviales de la zona para hacerla más segura. El ministro de Minería e Hidrocarburos, Jorge Berindoague, inauguró oficialmente el proyecto a finales de 2003. El proyecto se diseñó para que el agua fuera segura en un plazo de cinco años.

The Goldsmith Press
Cynthia Marsh
Background The Goldsmith Press & Rare Type Collection is a working letterpress museum that includes thousands of hand-hewn wood letters, typesetting materials, and printing presses. Wood letterforms, introduced in the 1700's, quickly became the backbone of early advertising in rural America. By the end of the nineteenth century opinionated broadsides, fire-and-brimstone handbills, wanted posters, and square dance flyers adorned the landscape of Tennessee and her neighbors.
Timeline The collection wood type currently housed at the Goldsmith Press was created in 1890 for a New England advertising company, Metropolitan Showprint. The Metropolitan collection was purchased by Austin Peay State University in 1997 from Boston printer, Robert Grande. Purchase funds came from a number of sources: a project grant from the APSU Center of Excellence in the Creative Arts (CECA), equipment funds from the APSU Office of Academic Affairs, and a private donation. The CECA grant, written jointly by professors Cynthia Marsh and Malcolm Glass, pledged to create a unique self-publishing facility on the campus of Austin Peay for students, artists, and the community members.
In April 1998, the letterpress and type collection was officially named for Arthur Goldsmith. Professor Goldsmith was an advocate for public literacy, a typophile, and a long-term supporter of the arts. The Goldsmith Press has proven to be a valued teaching facility and a coveted facility for professional artists, designers, and writers to create limited edition broadsides, books, and prints. The press has been awarded 16 grants from the regional and national sources to fund community projects; it is recognized as a unique creative facility capable of producing a wide range of public art works, artists' books, narrative posters, and limited edition print portfolios.
1 to support the mission and goals of the University, the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts, and the APSU Department of Art + Design.
2 to record community ideas.
3 to promote verbal, written, and visual communication in the region.
4 to preserve the collection of rare wood type — a working museum that
honors the history of rural American advertising.

Autistic Children Can Become Integrated Adults
Simonetta Caratti
DATE : Jun 25 2019 /SOURCE : La Regione
(Yicai Global) June 25 -- Autistic children can be overwhelming. They suffer because they want to communicate – but nobody understands them.
Shouts and crises were common when Gioele Merloni wanted to eat only chocolate and Chicken McNuggets from the box.
"He would throw up everything else," says his mother, Maria Giulia Merloni. "It went on for a year. Dining out was impossible because he would start to scream. He wouldn't socialize or talk – he would just point to objects and scream."
The turning point came when Gioele was included in a national pilot project for children on the autism spectrum to receive intensive early therapy from the Arcobaleno group in Sorengo's OTAF (Ticino Charity for the Assistance of Childhood), in Switzerland.
Games and exercises are designed to break down "wrong" behavioral patterns that haven't yet planted their roots and to build new ones that will help these children communicate with the world.
"The lower the house, the fewer bricks there are, the easier it is to knock it down and rebuild a more secure one," says Veronica Mantagazza, Arcobaleno group team leader, while a four-year-old child on the spectrum plays a card game with an educator in the same room. He's learning that every object on the cards has a name, and receives praises when he matches two of the same together.
Gioele, five years old, patiently went through this phase as well. Month after month, he learned to talk, to build relationships with the outside world and to play with other kids. "This was unthinkable three years ago," his mother says. Two years of intensive therapy changed his life.
"I'm much more optimistic now," she says. "I think that he's going to be able to work and have an independent life when he grows up. Without the early therapy, this would have been impossible. I went through countless sleepless nights because I couldn't bear the thought."
Ten years ago, these children would have been treated for different conditions, while attending special schools.
The tide turned as the benefits of intensive treatment before the age of three started gaining recognition. Early treatment allows autistic children to attend "regular" schools and to better integrate into society as adults.
Two years of therapy can cost up to 150,000 Swiss francs (USD 148,000). For now, the Federal Office for Social Insurance (UFAS) foots most of the bills of five pilot projects taking place throughout Switzerland.
The idea is to invest now to save later — treating an autistic adult during a 50-year period could cost up to 15 million Swiss francs. UFAS is trying to evaluate if early treatment can enhance long-term independence by improving school results and job market opportunities.
For now, the results of these pilot projects are encouraging. "It's a very positive experience; just think that two-thirds of autistic children who received intensive early treatment are now able to attend school regularly with help from special needs teachers," says Professor Gian Paolo Ramelli, head of the Pediatric Neurology department at the Bellinzona Canton Hospital. "Ten years ago, only 20 percent were able to do as much."
From two to four years old, children on the autistic spectrum fail to build normal neural links for social interaction, experts say. A kind of social "blindness" arises, making early diagnosis and therapy crucial.
Since 2009, pediatricians have been implementing a new screening system in Ticino. "They have a questionnaire for when they observe suspicious behavior," Ramelli explains. "If the suspicions are confirmed, further exams are conducted to quickly determine a diagnosis. We need to intervene before age three."
Behavioral stimulation can reorganize cerebral structure, he explains, but action must be taken before behavioral patterns become automatic.
Mantegazza says the challenge is "to intervene before the child adopts non-adequate behavior, teaching him how to communicate and entertain himself. It's about reducing problematic behavior through pedagogical and therapeutic programs that involve speech and occupational therapy, evolving teaching methods, applied behavioral analysis, parent training, and so on."
From 9 am to 3:30 pm, five educators rotate looking after nine children aged two to four years old, for a minimum of two days a week.
"We work with the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) method, which is a set of techniques based on the scientific principles of learning and action as a basis for our approach to autism," Mantegazza explains. "Each child has a personalized program."
One child is trying to solve a puzzle to learn to amuse himself and avoid repetitive movements. "Here, we help children acquire skills that they will practice later and apply to different circumstances," says the specialist who will follow him once he finishes the program and starts school.
Some of the older children already attend kindergarten a few mornings a week, alongside integration specialists who collaborate regularly with Arcobaleno group educators.

This reader contains nine original stories written specifically for adults, and is designed to accompany the BC Reads: Adult Literacy Fundamental English - Course Pack 3. This level 3 reader, one of a series of six readers, is roughly equivalent to grades 3 to 4.5 in the K-12 system. New vocabulary and word patterns are highlighted throughout each story, and then summarized at the end. Font size and line spacing can be adjusted in the online view, and have been enhanced for the print and PDF versions for easier reading. This reader has been reviewed by subject experts from colleges and universities.


I am hoping that by making this list, it will help me spell these words correctly in the future. I'm also curious about the words that you run into that give you problems.
Curiosity – Why does it drop the second "u" that is part of curious? That always trips me up. Does that one letter take up too much space?
Cycle words – First of all, bicycle and tricycle have too many "i"s and "y"s, and if I type them quickly, I always get them mixed up. In addition, why isn't icicle spelled the same way? I realize an icicle does not have a cycle, but it sounds exactly like bicycle and it confuses me.
5. Cancelled – It is one "l" or two? Sometimes canceled comes up correctly with spellcheck and sometimes it wants you to use cancelled. Apparently, the U.S. English uses two "l"s while the English English uses one. This seems to happen with several words, such as enrollment and enrolment. At the same time, though, traveling seems to be preferred in the U.S., while they enjoy travelling in England. It's quite confusing.
4. Valuable – I kid you not, I actually misspelled this one as I was typing this. I always want to stick an "e" in there, just like I do with believable and other related words. It seems like if value and believe have the "e" at the end, so should valuable and believable. I wonder if someday we will change valued to vallued in the U.S.?
3. Misspell –I always get this ironic word wrong. I want to just use one "s" like in mistake, misunderstanding and most "mis" words. It does make sense to use the "ss" here, though, so I don't really have a good excuse. Also, the rule is the same for misstep and misspoke, so I hope to remember not to misspell misspell in the future.
2. Fluoridated – I had to look this one up before I wrote it down. It seems rare to have a word with a "uo" instead of an "ou" and I always want to put the "o" first in fluoridated. I suppose, though, that the word I am mistakenly writing would only work if you were discussing the flouridation level of your bread.
1. Vacuum – Is it one "c" or two? Is it one "u" or two? And if vacuum has one "c," why does raccoon have two? I can never remember.
I just pray that I never misspell a very believable story about that time I had to vacuum up the remains of a valuable fluoridated cyclical icicle that was cancelled when curiosity got the better of a raccoon traveling on a unicycle.
Do you have any words that you misspell often? If so, feel free to mention them below. Thanks!
Next ›Are zombies really all that bad?
I'd love to hear about that story!
One I always get wrong is "pursue". My brain refuses to believe the second letter is a 'u' instead of an 'e'.
Thanks, I will have to pursue that story in the future. That is a confusing word to write, I agree. Thanks!
Spelling has never, never been my strong suit but especially those words ending in ate or ite like definite, legitimate, etc. I think it's because we pronounce the i as an a or vice versa. Thankfully we have spellcheck to confound us further.
I agree! They sound the same and I often have to look them up to see which is correct. Those are great examples and I am also grateful for spellcheck. Thanks again!
Spell check lets me down too often for me to trust it. My spelling is pretty strong and most of my spell check hits are related to my typing, which is not strong. Then there are those instances where my keystroke errors don't generate a response from spell check, so "know" becomes "now" and whatever I was trying to say becomes a rotten pork chop for the troll du jour to chew on, but spell check is none the wiser.
I have had a couple legit spell check busts recently, though. "Grotesque" and "Portuguese". I'm thinking my spelling of the word grotesque as "Groutesque" may be a Queen's English spelling, like "colour" or "Flavour" but I'm not sure.
Good post, Nick, I'm looking forward to some interesting responses. Have a god day.
Kenny, that is a great comment! Well played with the last sentence my friend. I laughed out loud at that. Grotesque is a tricky word, and I often see the different spellings for color and flavor, too. Tanks again!
I never forget 'vacuum' having two u's due to the way our physics teacher used to emphasise it when he said it, which was quite often in physics, although not often enough in an actual vacuum.
'Vack-you-umm…' he used to say. I expect he would have said 'You misssss-spelled vack-you-ummm…' if you got it wrong.
That's pretty funny. I have never heard anyone say it like that, but it would help you remember. Thanks again!
Travelled and traveled — like cancelled and canceled obviously.
In Greek, I invariable misspell 'message'. Is it μήνυμα or μύνημα; That is the question!
That is an excellent question, as it looks pretty tough. And traveled and cancelled are confusing, I agree. And after seeing the Greek spelling, I'd say my spelling issues in English seem pretty simple. Thanks!


The Bloody Mary Club hit up Bespoke Kitchen a while ago, because we had to see the famous Mary's Walk of Shame with our own eyes. Richa spotted a picture of it on Instagram and we just *knew* we had to check it out for ourselves.
Mary's Walk of Shame is a whopper of a cocktail and it was the absolute highlight of our meal. It's a bloody mary topped with grilled cheese, maple bacon, pastrami, sausage, pork belly & pickles. The glass has a spicy salt rim.
The restaurant itself is very modern but in a charming way, not a clinical way. We made reservations but the place wasn't very crowded, so I'm not sure if it was necessary. We ordered the biscuit bites (with fried chicken and gravy, naturally), shrimp & grits, short rib benedict, and Angie's croast (which is a croissant french toast hybrid). Bespoke Kitchen is all about locally sourced ingredients and "New York style" food. Our food was okay, but the Bloody Mary was the highlight of the meal. Afterall, if I really wanted to eat a good shrimp and grits or biscuits and gravy, I'd be looking for an actual soul food restaurant, not a hip West Village "New York style" restaurant.
But honestly, the Mary's Walk of Shame is worth a trip to Bespoke Kitchen on its own. It was practically a meal in itself. We were so full from the process of drinking the first one that we didn't have room for a second drink – that's almost blasphemous as far as Saturday brunches are concerned! We all agreed that next time we would hit up Bespoke Kitchen for a cocktail before going somewhere else for brunch.
This looks amazing. I'd definitely go somewhere just for that.
I've always wanted to go to New York and I still haven't had a Bloody Mary, so it seems like I should just kill two birds with one stone.
Don't hate me, but I've never had a Bloody Mary. I'm too afraid of that particular fusion of flavors! But I love meat (A LOT), so that might be enough to make me take the dive next time I visit NYC.
Haha, I could never hate you for that! I never thought I would really love bloody marys either, but I generally prefer a savory breakfast to a sweet one (yech – pancakes!), so I think bloody marys are a better way to complement eggs and bacon. You'll have to let me know if you end up trying one!

Why crickets are the next big thing in sustainability
Right now, our world is facing significant and urgent food shortages. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about 795 million people currently suffer from a chronic lack of nutritious food. With the world's population at a steady increase, we will not be able to sustain the world's current protein diet by the year 2050. Thankfully, Naak is on a mission to address this dooming food security problem: crickets! Read on to learn about the many benefits of these edible insects.
Crickets are a superfood
A growing awareness of consumer health has been causing people to think outside the box and turn to healthier alternatives. What better health alternative is there than crickets? Edible insects are a fantastic source of complete protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and fiber. Crickets are also a great source of antioxidants, which has been shown to reduce the risk of certain diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Crickets really are the superfood of the future! Try some out in our energy bars, which are tailored towards endurance athletes searching for an extra boost in performance!
Crickets are the world's most sustainable protein source
In addition to nutritional value, insect production has a much smaller negative impact on the environment than traditional sources of protein. Conventional livestock, which includes animals such as cattle and pigs, requires a lot of space and resources that could be used for better purposes. On the other hand, insect farming is far more sustainable. Crickets require 12X less food than beef, 4X less than pork, and 2X less than poultry for the same weight yield. Additionally, crickets require far less water and land for farming, making them much more cost effective to produce than other animals. To top it off, crickets produce 100X less greenhouse gases than beef!
Crickets are ethically sourced
Animal farm factories often have widespread unethical practices when it comes to farming animals. For ethical vegans, entomophagy may be a better alternative as cricket "slaughtering" is generally nothing more than a freezing process. Plus, the crickets that Näak chooses come from an insect farm in Ontario, called Entomo Farms, where they live in conditions similar to nature. Most importantly, their life cycle is respected so that harvest takes place at the end of their natural life span.
Additionally, as far as entomologists are concerned, insects do not have pain receptors the way vertebrates do. It is widely believed that insects cannot react to physical experiences emotionally. Click here to learn more about if crickets feel pain.
Crickets are extremely versatile and delicious
Crickets can fit into any diet: gluten-free, paleo, or nut-free. Thankfully, they are delicious too, and can be added to a whole array of different foods while packing a nutritional boost.
For less adventurous eaters, crickets can be consumed in the form of cricket flour. Cricket flour contains all of the nutrients that crickets have, but in a powder form which can be incorporated into almost all recipes! Cricket flour is usually combined with flour, grain-based or gluten free, which increases the protein and nutritional content of a recipe. When baking, you can substitute ¼ cup to ⅓ cup cricket flour for every 1 cup flour. If you need recipe inspirations, you can find a whole list of recipes here!
The world is not getting any more land or water, but we still have a growing population. Crickets and other edible insects are an important part of addressing today's food and environmental challenges. There are plenty of reasons why people are turning to edible insects, which is why at Näak, we chose to include cricket powder into our energy bars. At Näak, we believe in sustainable nutrition and our mission is to power the world of ultra sport performance with efficient and sustainable fuel.
