17 Oct 2005 : Column 735W—continued
Embassies/High Commissions
Andrew George: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further plans he has (a) to close, (b) to contract and (c) to expand embassies and high commissions. [18876]
Mr. Straw: I set out details of planned closure and localisation of British embassies and high commissions and other posts in my written ministerial statement of 11 October 2005, Official Report, columns 21–24WS.
EU Travel Bans
Mike Penning: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list individuals subject to an EU travel ban whom he has met over the last three years. [16662]
Mr. Douglas Alexander: EU travel bans prevent listed individuals from travelling to the EU, except in the case of specified exemptions set out in the EU Common Position on Zimbabwe. The UK meets its obligations fully in upholding these travel bans, which it believes are an effective measure in applying pressure against regimes which have particularly poor records on human rights, democracy, good governance and the rule of law.
My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has of course not met any listed individuals in the EU in contravention of these travel bans. Nor has he had meetings with such individuals outside the EU.
At international meetings, such as those at the UN, British Ministers come into contact with representatives of foreign governments whatever our views of them, including those subject to EU travel bans. In the past, the Foreign Secretary has briefly come into contact with Zimbabwean President Mugabe, former Zimbabwean
17 Oct 2005 : Column 736W
Foreign Minister Stan Mudenge and current Zimbabwean Foreign Minister Mumbengegwi at the UN General Assembly in New York.
The Foreign Secretary also occasionally met Foreign Minister Mumbengegwi in the course of normal diplomatic business in Mumbengegwi's previous role as ambassador to the UK, before his inclusion on the travel ban in 2005.
Mr. Mullin: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he received a letter from Martin Scheinin, a rapporteur for the UN Commission on Human Rights, regarding alleged British involvement in extraordinary rendition; and if he will place a copy of his response in the Library. [17841]
Ian Pearson: The Government have not received a letter from Professor Martin Scheinin, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Terrorism, on the specific subject of extraordinary rendition. We have received two letters from Professor Scheinin seeking information on counter-terrorism measures employed or proposed by the Government. The Home Office is dealing with both letters and will respond. We will then co-ordinate with them and Professor Scheinin to see if copies of the Government's responses to him can be placed in the Library of the House. I will let my hon. Friend know if and when this can be done.
Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs pursuant to the answer of 12th July 2005, Official Report, column 878W, on SirDonald Tsang, whether Sir Donald Tsang (a) has asked the Department not to use his title and (b) informed the Department that he does not wish to be known by it. [17712]
Ian Pearson: Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang has not asked the Foreign and Commonwealth Office not to use his title. Donald Tsang chooses not to use his title in his official capacity, and in official correspondence the Chief Executive is referred to as The Honourable Donald Tsang. We therefore respect this evident preference.
Mr. Keith Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what formal representations have been made to the Government of Iraq concerning possible Iranian support for insurgents operating against Iraqi security forces and UK troops in Southern Iraq. [18484]
Dr. Howells: We have been speaking to the Iraqi Transitional Government on a regular basis about this issue since the summer of 2005. On 1 August 2005 our Ambassador to Iraq made formal representation to the Iraqi Defence Minister, Sadoun Dulime, concerning possible Iranian support for insurgents in Southern Iraq.
Mr. Keith Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received from Iraqi officials
concerning possible Iranian involvement in the insurgency in Iraq; and on what date he received those representations. [18585]
Dr. Howells: We have not received formal representation from Iraqi Officials concerning possible Iranian involvement in the insurgency in Iraq.
Mr. Keith Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on what date his officials in (a) Iraq and (b) London were first informed of reports that (i) Iranian and (ii) Hizbullah personnel were training insurgents operating in southern Iraq. [18586]
Dr. Howells: We first became aware in early summer 2005 of reports suggesting that military equipment originating in Iran may have been used against British soldiers in Southern Iraq.
Richard Burden: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what the UK Government's position is on whether the recent Israeli air strikes on Gaza and the resumption of targeted assassinations constitute a proportionate response to the rocket attacks that were launched by Palestinian militants in the days following Gaza disengagement. [17919]
Dr. Howells: The Government's consistent policy is that as long as it acts within international law, Israel has the right to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks which we condemn absolutely. Targeted killings are contrary to international law.
Richard Burden: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of (a) the legality of Israel's E1 plan outside Jerusalem and (b) its implications for progress with the Road Map. [18302]
Dr. Howells: The plan to expand the Israeli settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim into the so-called E1" area east of Jerusalem, combined with the proposed route of the barrier, threatens to complete the encircling of the city by settlements and cut off Palestinian East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank. This would have serious economic, social and humanitarian consequences for Palestinians who live in these areas.
These Israeli actions are in violation of Israel's Roadmap obligations and international law. If they continue, they will make it harder to reach a final status agreement on Jerusalem. We and others in the international community have made our concerns on this clear to the Government of Israel.
Mr. Mullin: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made on behalf of Krishna Maharaj; and if he will make a statement. [17099]
Ian Pearson: Mr. Maharaj's case is currently before the US Federal Court of Appeals. In January 2005, the Government submitted an amicus curiae brief to the Court of Appeals in relation to lack of consular
notification. We continue to monitor the case in consultation with Mr. Maharaj's legal representatives in the US and UK.
Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has received on the progress of judicial reform in Peru, with particular reference to the case of (a) Augusto Camacho Alarcon and (b) Carlos Jose Garay; and if he will make a statement. [16838]
Mr. Douglas Alexander: Our ambassador in Lima discussed judicial reform with the Peruvian Justice Minister on 19 September. The ambassador received representations from the Justice Minister on the Progress of judicial reform in Peru. Our ambassador emphasised the strong support the UK and the EU have given to judicial reform in Peru. Under our EU Presidency, the embassy has chaired meetings of EU Heads of Mission to discuss EU projects on judicial reform in Peru.
We have not received representations on the cases of Augusto Camacho Alarcon and Carlos Jose Garay. However, we understand that the Peruvian National Terrorism Court has ordered that Alarcon and Garay be re-tried under terrorism charges. We also understand that these individuals have been released from custody and are currently awaiting their re-trial.

Nasal sepum divides the nasal cavity into two columns. If thse septıum is deviated to the one side many symptoms such as nasal obstruction, open mouth, sleep capacity and sleep quality decrease, headache, nosebleed, recurrent sinusitis episodes may occur. In this case, called nasal septum deviation, in order to widen mechanically narrowed areas due to cartilage curvature in intranasal airways, the cartilaginous areas are removed after removal of the cartilage membrane and the septum is flattened. Generally, the lower nasal flesh on the other side of the narrowed curvature is also seen as larger than normal. This condition, called compensatory hypertrophy, is considered to narrow the area which is more than normal in the nasal cavity and for the purpose of moistening, refining, heating and pressurization of the air, in order to bring the wide space closer to normal. A nasal cavity is narrower than normal means the other side is wider than normal. In this way, cartilage curvature on one side and nose growth on the other side are responsible for constriction in the nose. If the cartilage curvature is multifaceted, as in the dak S-shaped deviation of the septum gibi, the two nasal cavities may become narrower due to the cartilage curvature. Surgery for the treatment of nasal septum deviation is referred to as septoplasty operation. Normally, nasal septum deviation surgery is performed with closed technique and the processing time is about 15-20 min. When there is an advanced septum deviation, open technique can be performed as septoplasty and the procedure can take 1 hour. Together with the turbinate operation can be done and in this way additional 10-15 minutes is required. If all of these conditions are added under the conditions of hospitals and general or local anesthesia, the transaction prices may vary widely. Average septoplasty operation cost (one day staying in hospital, all tests, all instruments, all doctor fees are included in this price) of septoplasty in Istanbul is about 1750 - 2500 US Dollars for reasonably priced hospitals.
In many luxury hospitals and when an additional nose surgery is performed (turbinate radiofrequency, nose type plasty, nose tip lifting, nasal hum recution ... etc), the total operation fee can be increased. In so luxury hospitals, the septoplasty price can rise to 2500 - 3500 US Dollars. Septoplasty cost is higher in luxury hospitals. Some patients may require open technique septoplasty. In this way, the operation time is longer.


Azar Kavin Co. produces two types of foam liquids which conform to high quality international standards, commercially named AK-350 and AK-700, used in the production of light-weight foamed concrete (Cellular Lightweight Concrete – CLC).
AK-350 is a high quality protein-based foaming agent produced from hydrolyzing specially selected proteinous raw materials. AK-350 has great compatibility with most types of cement and is the quality choice in the production of light-weight concrete. Bubbles produced with AK-350 are extremely stable, micro-sized and uniform with high drainage time, thus making the finished concrete of a high compressive strength.
* Parameters can be adjusted according to customer request.

The first full solar eclipse since 1976 will be visible over the U.S. in a few days, on August 21st. So, as you can imagine, eclipse mania is in full force! Lots of people are planning viewing parties and even traveling to designated sites that, supposedly, have the best view of the rare occurrence. DO NOT look directly at an eclipse, its not safe and could ruin your vision. There are special glasses you can buy to protect yourself. But here's the problem. Like usual there are sever shmucks out there trying to rip people off, to make a few bucks and are selling people fake glasses. You can see them being sold all over the internet right now.
If you want to buy glasses for the eclipse, air on the side of caution and go to NASA's website where you'll get all the info you need to make sure the glasses you buy are the real ones.
Or you can check out the below video. NASA made it easy by using a cereal box, paper, and foil.

Q&A with Dynia Architects' Founder and Design Director, Stephen Dynia
milehighcre — September 26, 2018
Dynia designed the 100-room Source Hotel in RiNo (Photo: Werk Creative).
By Katie Rapone
Stephen Dynia, design director, Dynia Architects.
Stephen Dynia, FAIA, design director at Dynia Architects, founded the firm with the goal of making buildings and spaces inspired by the phenomena of nature, fueled by innovation, and motivated by the essence of architecture in society and culture. Known for his ability to push the design envelope, Dynia has led the work for some of RiNo's most recognizable buildings, including the unique design of the $50 million, 100-room Source Hotel.
Facts about Stephen:
Stephen received degrees in Fine Arts and Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Dynia's interest in architecture was initially sparked as a teenager living in his native New Haven, Conneticut.
Dynia moved to Jackson, Wyoming after working in the design department at Skidmore Owings & Merrill in New York City, and founded the firm in 1993.
He was admitted to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows in 2013.
What sparked your interest in architecture?
In one's development as a child, you either understand the world spatially, or not. I was interested in architecture increasingly as a child — I went to a very progressive school that was popular in the late 60s and early 70s that engaged the community and exposed kids to different professions.
People have the misunderstanding that to be an architect you have to be good at math and I never was, I was terrible, I don't like absolutes. When you're young, that discouragement is something you have to move beyond and I did that through working for an architect and understanding that I had the abilities that were consistent with doing that work.
What made you decide to start your own firm?
I worked for a large corporate firm in New York City in the 80s and 90s. I loved New York but I didn't really love corporate architecture because a good degree of your energy is spent surviving politically.
I visited Jackson Hole and realized that there were considerable resources there and no one was designing modern houses. The role of natural phenomena in designing buildings really interested me. I looked at it as an opportunity to explore new ideas.
What is something that people do not understand about the architectural process?
I think that people look at architecture visually and evaluate it in most instances as "style." While style is the first plateau, the really important thing is proportion. An architect in full possession of his or her talent should be able to understand the psychology of the space.
What is an emerging architectural trend?
As architects, we are eternally looking to avoid trends. In the best sense, architecture is timeless. If you look at a building from the Renaissance, it still has relevance and still abides the proportional system and has the kind of depth that makes it relevant hundreds of years later. When I hear the word 'trend' it sometimes goes against the notion of authenticity in architecture.
In a much broader sense — there are so many things technologically that are new on the horizon. The ability to illustrate reality before it becomes a reality is a progressive and ever improving tool in architecture.
Can you describe your relationship with Zeppelin Development?
Because I was familiar with the world of development from my previous life in New York, I realized that it's very rare to find developers that want to take risks and explore new ideas. Most of the buildings in Denver are done by developers that have a very entrenched manner of financing their buildings. In 2007 we worked with Zeppelin on the repurposing of a freight terminal in Denver and it was then that I learned their focus on developing buildings that have their own culture. Zeppelin are unconventional developers and as we went from project to project, our understanding of one another got better and better. It's rare to find innovative developers and so I did everything I could to use the opportunity to design some interesting buildings with them.
The thing I am most proud of is that together we have completed three buildings simultaneously and each one is completely distinct. We don't just make a building and fill it up with stuff, we hope that an aesthetic will grow from within the program and understanding of the site.
The Source Hotel that we just completed is a unique building for a number of reasons. I designed the building to fit into the context of the neighborhood and made it appear to be a series of low-rise industrial buildings. It is the first tall building designed for RiNo and I tried to highlight the horizontality of it.
What have you learned in your career that has stuck with you?
When you visualize, and walk around in a space in your head and then you see it built, there's a thrill to that in general but you learn something new every time. Your career is accumulated lessons about your thinking about a space, and then the reality of it. There's also an increasing understanding of the role of buildings in daily life and culture. The talent of an architect, which people often think is about mathematics, is primarily about three-dimensional ability in your brain.
Who has been a mentor to you in your career?
When I think of the architects that I most highly regard, the names Eero Saarinen and Louis Kahn come to mind. Saarinen had a tremendously diverse portfolio of work. He did buildings that were curvaceous before computers came into existence. Kahn's work is absolutely timeless and you could see it a thousand years from now and you wouldn't question it.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I really like photography because I like the idea of not creating something but of editing something. You make compositions by taking pieces of the real world!
I also have several automobiles from different eras — I have a '66 VW Beatle, a couple of 50-year-old Porche's, and a Chevrolet Covair. They're not immensely valuable cars but they are significant to me in a sort of nostalgic way.

Tim Tausendfreund, lecturer at the ZHAW School of Social Work, reports from this year's study exchange with the Hanzehogeschool in Groningen (Netherlands).
Since the beginnings of the welfare state, Dutch models have always been among the most influential forms of intervention of their time. This year's study exchange did explore why this was the case, what we can learn from it today and which opportunities and risks may arise in the future. Our core theme this year was poverty and the social issues and interventions surrounding it.
Curious yourself? Have a look! Here are some selected impressions from our study exchange.

The US space agency (Nasa) has started the countdown clock ahead of Monday's launch of the space shuttle Discovery.
The shuttle is due to launch from Florida's Kennedy Space Center at daybreak - around 0621 local time (1121 BST) on a 13-day mission.
Discovery will haul equipment and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) in a container called a multi-purpose logistics module (MPLM).
The shuttle's seven crew members arrived in Florida on Thursday.
At a news briefing on Friday, Nasa test director Steve Payne said that all launch preparations were proceeding well.
"We're eager to get Discovery flying on Monday morning," he said.
The shuttle weather officer Kathy Winters said there was only a 20% chance of unfavourable weather - in the form of morning fog - on Monday.
The mission is due to include three spacewalks, each lasting around six-and-a-half hours.
Spacewalkers Rick Mastracchio and Clay Anderson will replace one of the space station's gyroscopes, which has failed, and switch an ammonia tank.
Ammonia is used to move excess heat from inside the space station to the radiators outside.
The astronauts will also retrieve a seed experiment that was placed on the exterior of the Japanese laboratory Kibo.
The pressurised MPLM, dubbed a "moving van" by Nasa, will deliver around 7,700kg of cargo to the station, including supplies, a new crew sleeping quarters and science racks which will be transferred to the station's laboratories.
Only four shuttle flights remain - including this one - before the fleet is retired later in 2010.
On Friday, a Soyuz spacecraft carrying Nasa astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Mikhail Kornienko launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The three crew members are scheduled to dock with the ISS on Sunday morning (GMT). During their stay, they will carry out experiments and support two shuttle missions to the space station.


People often ask about Unbundled Legal Services, which describes limited representation for a specific part of a Client's court proceeding. The Client would handle the balance of the services themselves. The best way to understand, explain and justify this approach is to say it's better to have some help from an experienced lawyer on your case, as compared to no help at all. Nevertheless, it is better to have a qualified, experienced and motivated lawyer help you until your case is closed.
Unfortunately some people just cannot afford that option. Attorney Bradley Sherman recommends payment plans for those who have limited funds. Payment plans allows Mr. Sherman to remain as your attorney until the case is concluded. However, payment plans are not workable if your case is one in which the presiding Judge deems high urgency – requiring more than usual court time and preparation by the attorney.
For those thinking about going to court without an attorney, then you must understand that you will be at a disadvantage. If the other party has a competent, experienced family law attorney, then your case can be in jeopardy without legal representation. Of course, the wrong lawyer can be just as bad.
Some basic services should be considered, such as hiring a court reporter and process server. A court reporter makes a record so that in the event the Judge makes a mistake you have a remedy. You cannot appeal your case if there is no record. A process server is used to serve subpoenas. Your case may require compelling witnesses to appear on your behalf. For example, a police officer, a school records keeper, a doctor's office records keeper are just some common examples.
If you can afford a qualified, experienced and motivated lawyer then do so. I always tell my new Clients at the beginning that it is important to trust each other. I go on to say that trust should not be earned easily. Instead, it should be obtained with a transparent attorney/client relationship. Attorney Bradley Sherman accomplishes transparency and the trust of his Clients by providing them with all documents and communications sent and received in connection with the Client's case. The same thinking is done with billing. All Clients of Attorney Bradley Sherman receive detailed invoices so that they know exactly how their money is being spent.

Mystery & Thriller / Fiction / Mystery & Detective / Private Investigators
Private investigator Cormoran Strike must track down a missing writer — and a sinister killer bent on destruction — in this "wonderfully entertaining" mystery (Harlan Coben, New York Times Book Review) that inspired the acclaimed HBO Max series C.B. Strike.
When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days — as he has done before — and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.
But as Strike investigates, he discovers that Quine's disappearance is no coincidence. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published, it would ruin lives — meaning that almost everyone in his life would have motives to silence him.
When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, Strike must race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before . . .
A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.
"Cormoran Strike is back, and so is his resourceful sidekick, Robin Ellacott, a gumshoe team that's on its way to becoming as celebrated for its mystery-solving skills as Nick and Nora Charles of "Thin Man" fame, and Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander (a.k.a. the girl with the dragon tattoo)."—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"'The last line of The Silkworm, which will lift the hearts of readers who have come to love its deeply sympathetic characters, offers the prospect of more of that joy both for her and for us."—Charles Finch, USA Today (3.5/4 stars)
"Robert Galbraith... has written a second absorbing whodunit starring detective Corcmoran Strike to follow last year's stealth hit, The Cuckoo's Calling.... Astutely observed, well-paced... The Silkworm thoroughly engages as a crime novel."—Sue Corbett, People
"...why is "likable" the first word that comes to mind upon finishing The Silkworm? Surely, that has something to do with Rowling's palpable pleasure in her newly chosen genre (the jig may be up with her Robert Galbraith pseudonym, but the bloom is still on her homicidal rose) and even more to do with her detective hero, who, at the risk of offending, is the second husband of every author's dreams."—Louis Bayard, The Washington Post
The Silkworm is fast-paced and entertaining... Strike is heroic without intending to be and has a great back story. He's the illegitimate son of a rock star whose half-siblings grew up in privilege... And he's brooding, but not annoyingly so. Strike has all kinds of potential. It'd be a crime not to keep up with him."—Sherryl Connelly, Daily News
"Having just the better part of a day and a night making my way through the 455 pages of The Silkworm ... I must say, I don't mind at all... The murder mystery at the heart of The Silkworm is a genuine mystery with an altogether satisfying resolution." —Malcolm Jones, The Daily Beast
PRAISE FOR THE CUCKOO'S CALLING:
"The master is back. . . [Rowling] returns to the strengths that made Harry Potter great--the beautiful sense of pacing, the deep but illusionless love for her characters--without sacrificing the expanded range of The Casual Vacancy." --USA Today (3.5/4 stars)
"A gritty, absorbing tale." --People
"Cleverly plotted... Rowling serves up a sushi platter of red herring, sprinkling clues along the way, before Strike draws a confession out of the killer in a climax straight out of Agatha Christie." --Entertainment Weekly
"Highly entertaining [with] a team whose further adventures the reader cannot help eagerly awaiting." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"[Rowling's] literary gift is on display in this work. She crafts an entertaining story [and] comes up with an ending that I'll admit I was surprised by. . . . A fun read, with a main character you can care about and one you'll want to see again in other adventures." --The Washington Post

The Gib stoppers have finished.
The Tawa timber floor upstairs has been sanded and cured with 4 coats of polyurethane, the Tawa floor downstairs has been laid and concrete slab poured under the bridge to raise the carpet level to the correct height.
The kitchen was installed on Wed-Thurs and looks great.
All of the wrought iron banisters have been delivered and installed including the "Romeo balcony" (thank you Beckhams!) outside the master bedroom.
The top of the outside of the house has been now been painted. The colour we originally ordered was "Camelcoat" based on another house in Palmy however on our place it looked too peachy. Paul added some black which has made it more of an earthy tone. Just goes to show that you can never be sure of a colour until it's up. All of the internal scaffolding and most of the external scaffolding has now been removed.
Steve has started plastering the Dining room and bathroom walls.
The electricians have started fitting switches and lights.
Most of rooms have now had a sealing undercoat and we are starting to apply some of the final colours in the bedrooms.

Liberia seeks 6000 teachers from Nigeria – Royal Times of Nigeria.
President George Weah of Liberia has appealed to the Nigerian government to send 6000 teachers to his country as part of the Technical Assistance agreement between the two nations.
Speaking on Monday shortly after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House Presidential Villa in Abuja, Mr. Weah said his government inherited many problems which can only be tackled with assistance from countries like Nigeria.
The Liberian leader identified some of the urgent problems facing his country as youth unemployment, as well as the need to revive the education, agriculture, mining and health sectors.
He said, "Our people have voted for change, and for hope. And change is finally here. But mere political change is meaningless without development, prosperity, and growth Your Excellency, we need Nigeria's help to jump-start our economy. You played a major role in bringing peace to Liberia you reformed our Army and today it is performing it duties to the highest professional standards.
As we speak, they are serving in a peace-keeping mission in Mali You have also built and expanded the capacities of Liberians in so many ways. For example, during our recent observance of Armed Forces Day in Liberia, we were informed that two of our military personnel will soon be graduating as pilots from one of your esteemed institutions.
We would like to see a continuation and expansion of that program, women. for both men and My administrations' Pro-Poor Development Agenda, is intended to tackle the many economic and social problems that my Government has inherited, especially in addressing the large fiscal and infrastructure deficits, the urgent problem of youth unemployment, and reviving the education, agriculture, mining and health sectors.
Your sustained technical assistance for capacity building in these sectors is most welcome. For example, Nigerian teachers and medical volunteers to Liberia, under the Technical Assistance Corps TAC) Agreement with Liberia, have been very crucial in boosting capacity development in Liberia, and it is my hope that this assistance can be considerably increased to address with urgency our most pressing socio-economic needs at this time. More specifically, under the Bilateral Teacher Exchange program, we are seeking 6,000 plus teachers to make up for the shortage of good teachers in our educational system. n agriculture, we are seeking experts and extension workers to build capacity in the sector, particularly with crops, (such as cassava, for example,) which lend themselves readily to value- added propositions and export earning potential.
Liberian banking sector is dominated by Nigerian banks, and I am made to understand that their head offices in Nigeria may be considering reducing their support or even shutting them down because of the recent downturn in our economy. If this is true, l urge them not to do so, as l am optimistic that trade and commerce will increase in the near future, There are also major shortcomings in the electricity and power sectors, in road construction, in housing, in mining, and in fisheries, to name a few, that could be of serious interest to Nigerian investors, either as individuals or companies, or through joint-ventures or public-private partnerships. We invite all of you to come to Liberia and explore the many new opportunities for investment that are bound to increase under this new politieal dispensation I promise you that you will find a government that is not enly business friendly, but ready to do business''.

What Are The Continuing Education Requirements For A Real Estate Agent?
For most people, real property is the biggest purchase they'll ever make, and a real estate agent is a crucial part of the process. You're an expert guide that knows how to speak the language of the industry, gives objective information and opinions, and protects clients against unethical sales. Periodic continuing education requirements ensure that agents and brokers are competent and informed in their job.
Continuing education requirements are set by each individual state, and no two states are exactly alike. Typically, brokers can expect to take more hours than an agent, with classes that consist of topics like management and supervision.
