Acai Berry today is very much associated with weight loss. In fact, the best selling Acai berry supplement in the market gained its popularity due to its weight loss fame. Consuming Acai Berry has amazing characteristics that enable the body to burn off fat faster than a diet without one.

This means you get to lose weight without using any form of synthetic supplements. Chemical weight loss pills pose a threat to your health and well-being over the long term as the foreign ingredient will be polluting your body and creating hazardous side-effects. We all have been exposed to cases of people suffering from liver and kidney damage resulting from the intake of dangerous pills to lose weight. In some cases, the doses can be fatal. Using Acai berry as a safe alternative is a wonderful opportunity to get the trim body you want without the risks.

Carson King ends up raising $3 million — thanks to Iowa Busch Light distributors
Carson King ends up raising $3 million after local Bush Light distributors donate the final $41,000.
Carson King ends up raising $3 million — thanks to Iowa Busch Light distributors Carson King ends up raising $3 million after local Bush Light distributors donate the final $41,000. Check out this story on desmoinesregister.com: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/2019/10/02/carson-king-raises-3-million-thanks-local-busch-light-distributors/3846700002/
Linh Ta, Des Moines Register Published 4:41 p.m. CT Oct. 2, 2019 | Updated 4:41 p.m. CT Oct. 2, 2019
Though his fundraising campaign for the University of Iowa's children's hospital officially ended Monday, Carson King announced Wednesday that he had reached the $3 million mark with a new donation that came from Iowa's Busch Light distributors.
"We Did It! Thank you to all the Local Busch Light Distributors across the state for the final $41,000.00, making this last push possible! 3 Million Dollars for @UIchildrens!" King tweeted Wednesday afternoon.
King had announced Tuesday on KXnO's "Murph and Andy Show" that he had raised $2.96 million, but the donations kept rolling in.

"I'm happy with all of it — none of this could have happened without people out there recognizing me and realizing this is a good cause." (Photo: Olivia Sun)
The Altoona resident became a sensation after cameras caught him holding a hand-drawn sign as he stood behind the set of ESPN's "College GameDay" in Ames on Sept. 14. Written on the sign, in plain black marker, was "Busch Light Supply Needs Replenished" and his Venmo handle.
When the money poured in, far exceeding anything King had expected, he decided to donate the funds to the university's Stead Family Children's Hospital. Busch Light and Venmo pledged to match any donations, and several Iowa businesses also pitched in, including Smokey Row Coffee Co. and an ice cream shop in Prairie City, where King grew up.
The fundraising campaign spread across the state and the country, with King at the forefront. He traveled to New York City and appeared on CNN, participated in the University of Iowa's popular Hawkeye Wave tradition, and visited appreciative families at the children's hospital.
Gov. Kim Reynolds even declared Sept. 28 "Carson King Day," and local musicians in Des Moines staged a benefit concert Monday night.

Wildfire: Climate Change in California
Lauren Anderson | September 6, 2016
The Blue Cut wildfire in California burned for over a week, destroying more than 100 homes and reaching over 37,020 acres. Sadly, this was only one of the many wildfires to threaten the drought-stricken state.
In 2015, more than 2,500 structures were burned in the Valley and Butte wildfires alone. Since 1970, wildfires have burned more than twice the area as expected, and fire season has lasted 78 days longer in California. Climate change impacts, such as earlier snowmelt, longer fire seasons, and hotter, drier conditions, have led to an increase in wildfire activity.

Impacts to Wildlife and Ecosystems
While wildfires are a naturally occurring disturbance on the landscape, wildlife and ecosystems can suffer as a result of intense and large-scale wildfires. The following are examples of how severe wildfires can harm wildlife:
There is increased risk of erosion and runoff as plants and their associated root systems are damaged by wildfire. Without stabilizing vegetation to hold the soil in place, rain can wash the soil into waterways, thus polluting and damaging the streams, rivers, and lakes on which fish depend.
Wildfire can release large quantities of stored carbon into the atmosphere from burned vegetation, further exacerbating the impacts of climate change. California has lost as much as 69 million metric tons of stored carbon between 2001 and 2010 due to wildfires.
Severe wildfires can burn away all vegetation and destroy native seedbanks, promoting the spread of invasive and exotic plant species which tend to have negative impacts on native wildlife.
Outdoor Recreation Loss
Over the years, the National Forest Service (NFS) has had to dedicate more funds to fighting wildfires, taking the needed money from other programs. This has resulted in a 15% spending reduction in the NFS's Recreation, Heritage and Wilderness programs, threatening outdoor recreation economies and placing associated jobs at risk.

The lack of funding, which should have been used to maintain roads, trails, and other facilities, has had a direct impact on outdoor recreation opportunities such as hunting and fishing. The National Forest Service currently has a deferred maintenance backlog of over $5.1 billion. Many of the projects have been waiting on funds for 30 to 50 years.

As wildfires grow more severe due to a rapidly changing climate, we can expect more spending that should be used to increase access to outdoor recreation to instead be funneled toward firefighting emergencies. The National Forest Service projects that fire suppression will cost as much as $1.8 billion by 2025.
As the threat of wildfires grow in California and the rest of the U.S., the need to fight climate change becomes even clearer. It is critical that congress take action to prevent the loss of natural resources and reduce the impacts of climate change through national climate policy.

January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month
Home > Birth injury > January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month
Birth Defect Prevention Awareness
Each year, the National Birth Defects Prevention Network (NBDPN) starts the New Year off by naming January as National Birth Defects Prevention Month, according to the NBDPN website. The Education and Outreach Committees at the NBDPN create awareness materials for state officials and develop a theme that can help healthcare professionals, expecting parents, and other relevant parties to better understand the ways in which numerous birth defects are preventable.
For 2016, the theme surrounding the NBDPN's awareness campaign is "Making Healthy Choices to Prevent Birth Defects—Make a PACT for Prevention." In other words, pregnant women should think carefully about their own health and medical choices to help prevent a potentially deadly birth defect. Each year, the NBDPN emphasizes that birth defects are "common, costly and critical," but that many birth defects can be avoided. The organization partners with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Teratology Society (TS) to help get the word out about birth defects prevention.
Who can help with this campaign? The NBDPN calls on "professionals, community groups, and the public to prevent birth defects." In addition, the organization reaches out to healthcare providers to underscore the high rate of birth defects in our country and the ways that awareness and education may lower the number of babies that are born with debilitating birth defects.
Learning More About Birth Defects: Getting the Facts and Figures
What do you need to know about birth defects? Some important facts and figures include the rates at which infants are born with birth defects, the severity of those defects, and the economic costs associated with them. The NBDPN cites the following data in a letter to healthcare providers:
Birth defects are so common that, statistically, one baby is born with a birth defect every 4.5 minutes. If we look at this figure in terms of annual birth defects, it means that one out of every 33 infants (or, about 3%) is born with a birth defect in America alone.
Many birth defects result in serious health consequences. Around 20% of infant deaths result from birth defects each year, while anywhere from 6% to 15% of deaths in kids up to the age of 14 result from birth defects. For babies born with birth defects who do survive childhood, many live with increased risks for physical and cognitive challenges, as well as social ones.
Birth defects also have high economic costs. Given that many infants born with birth defects require extensive medical attention and hospitalization, birth defects end up costing more than $2.6 billion every year in the U.S.
An additional fact sheet from the NBDPN emphasizes that birth defects often are preventable because they can result from some of the following:
Taking certain dangerous drugs (including certain prescription medications);
Exposure to certain chemicals; and
Exposure to other health hazards.
If your baby was born with a birth injuries, you may be able to file a claim for financial compensation. Contact an experienced birth injury lawyer to determine your rights.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a 2.5D real-time strategy computer game developed by Westwood Pacific and released in October 2000 as the follow-up to Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Although not originally envisioned by Westwood Studios, Red Alert 2 was created following the success of the original Red Alert. Set in the early 1970s, Red Alert 2 picks up at the conclusion of the Allied campaign of the first game, making the original idea of Red Alert being a prequel to Tiberian Dawn difficult to realize and separating the Red Alert universe as its own series. In October 2001, the expansion pack Yuri's Revenge was released.
Red Alert 2 contains two playable factions: the Allies and the Soviets, both of which previously appeared in the first Red Alert game. The Red Alert 2 singleplayer campaign is structured in an alternate-ending mode as opposed to a progressive story mode introduced in Tiberian Sun Firestorm earlier that year.
Red Alert 2 received an average rating of 86% according to GameRankings criteria.

Main article: Third World War (Red Alert 2)
Red Alert 2 has two unique story lines. Both the Allied campaign and the Soviet campaign start after the events of the original Red Alert, in which the USSR was defeated by the Allies after attempting to "bring revolution to [the] world".
Premier Alexander Romanov was installed by Allied leaders to the position of Soviet premier and was to keep the USSR in peaceful relations with the West. Suddenly, Allied spies cut contacts with their headquarters, and were seen operating with KGB agents. The Soviets invaded the Allied nations without warning, quickly reaching the United States of America. American president Michael Dugan ordered a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, but silo operator Jerry Boyd was mind-controlled by Yuri to sabotage the silo, leading to the nuclear missiles detonating on closed silo doors.
Allied campaign
The Allied storyline begins with a strike team led by the Commander and Special Agent Tanya into the streets of New York City to defend Fort Bradley and repel the Soviet invasion force there. The player, with help from Tanya, successfully repels the Soviet invasion of New York City.
Tanya and the Commander are then sent to liberate the US Air Force Academy and the air base in Colorado Springs. After recapturing the academy and the air base and halting the Soviets' advance into the midwest, it is discovered that a Soviet psychic device known as the Psychic Beacon, a device that can mind-control the population of entire cities, has been deployed in Washington, D.C.
The Psychic Beacon manages to take control of President Dugan, general Ben Carville, and several other key Allied leaders in the city, who promptly surrender the United States to the Soviets. However, a quick and valiant counter-strike by the Commander destroys the Psychic Beacon and frees the Allied leaders and military officials from the Soviets' mind control, allowing them to be rescued and evacuated from the city.
Unfortunately for the Allies, Washington, D.C. still remains in Soviet hands. The American government and military are forced to relocate to Canada to escape from the Soviets and their mind control technology for the time being. Once the US military and its leaders take refuge in Canada, Allied intelligence discovers that the Soviets have deployed another psychic device, known as the Psychic Amplifier, in the city of Chicago.
Unlike the Psychic Beacon of Washington, the Psychic Amplifier has the power "to do to the country what the Psychic Beacon did to Washington". The Allies promptly launch an amphibious offensive from across Lake Michigan into Soviet-occupied Chicago, freeing the city and destroying the Psychic Amplifier in a surprise attack against the Soviets.
But in retaliation, the Soviet General Vladimir, the chief commander of the invading Soviet forces, declares that he no longer has any use for the city of Chicago and detonates a nuclear device, completely destroying the city.
Alarmed by the nuclear attack on Chicago, the European Allied leaders of France, Germany and Great Britain are willing to lend help to the USA, but only if the American Commander and Special Agent Tanya can send in a strike team to disable the Soviet medium-range nuclear missile silos located along the Polish-German border. In a daring covert operation, Allied spies infiltrate the Soviet Battle Lab and destroy the two Nuclear Missile silos in Soviet-occupied Poland.
Free from the fear of Soviet nuclear counterattack, the European Allies join with the Americans in the war against the Soviets. With additional men and equipment from the European Allies, the US launches an new assault on Soviet-occupied Washington, D.C., reinforcing Allied forces at the Pentagon and, with the assistance of German professor Albert Einstein's Weaponized Prism technology, succeed in liberating the capital from the Soviets.
With Washington back under American control, Allied leaders are now able to launch a new battle plan to drive the Soviets out of America. Allied intelligence reveals that a large Soviet naval fleet led by General Vladimir is en route to invade the Hawaiian islands. The Commander is sent to the Allied naval base of Pearl Harbor to defend the islands and succeeds in destroying the invading Soviet naval force and reclaiming Nihau, Hawaii from the Soviets. However, the Allies are still in a precarious position in the war against the Soviets back in the continental United States.
The Soviets, using their psychic technology once again, have deployed another Psychic Beacon and taken control of St. Louis, Missouri, the heart of Allied ground control operations in the United States. Special Agent Tanya and the Commander lead a strike team to destroy the beacon and liberate the city, narrowly escaping the effects of the Psychic Beacon themselves.
After St. Louis is freed, the Allies learn of a Soviet project to replicate Albert Einstein's Weaponized Prism technology at a research base in Tulum, Mexico. A team of Navy SEALs is para-dropped into the area to destroy the research facility and whatever attempts the Soviets have made to replicate the Allies' Weaponized Prism technology. The mission is successful and the Allies' Weaponized Prism technology is not compromised.
In a briefing to the Commander, General Carville, says that they are being shipped off to Germany. Carville himself is headed to Berlin to plan the Allied invasion into Russia while he sends the Commander to the Black Forest to join up with Allied forces to protect Albert Einstein's laboratory and his prototype Chronosphere, a device with the ability to move troops to any location in the world, against a large Soviet invasion force.
However, as General Carville is about to leave his office at the end of the briefing, a Crazy Ivan, a Soviet unit which utilizes explosives, ambushes the Allied General at the door and detonates his explosives, killing Carville. Despite the tremendous loss of a great leader to the Allies, the Commander is successful in repelling the Soviet invasion from across the border into the Black Forest, ultimately saving Einstein's laboratory and his Chronosphere.
Einstein personally thanks the Commander for saving his home and tells the Commander that he has been researching for many days and nights to find the best place to deploy his Chronosphere. Einstein determines that perfect place to deploy his Chronosphere is "on a tiny island in the Florida Keys, just a few short kilometers from Soviet Cuba".
Unfortunately, this distance is within range of three Soviet nuclear missile silos in Cuba. The Allies send a force to the island to establish a base and construct the Chronosphere there, and then launch an attack to destroy the Soviet nuclear strike capabilities in Cuba.
With the Chronosphere successfully deployed in the Florida Keys, the Allies prepare for one final assault on the city of Moscow to capture the Kremlin and end the war for good. Using the Chronosphere, the Allied forces led by the Commander teleport begin their assault on Moscow.
In perhaps the greatest and toughest battle of the entire war, the Allies manage to eliminate Romanov's Elite Black Guard defending the Kremlin and a strike team lead by Tanya is teleported in to secure the Kremlin and capture Premier Alexander Romanov. The war ends with the Soviets suffering a humiliating surrender and a second defeat at the hands of the Allies.
Soviet campaign
The following is based on the Soviet campaign of Red Alert 2 and might contradict canon.
The Soviet storyline begins with the player being briefed by Premier Alexander Romanov about the upcoming Soviet invasion of the United States of America.
Romanov tells the player that the first priority is the destruction of the headquarters of the American military, the Pentagon. The Commander carries out this order, leading an invasion into Washington, D.C. and destroying the Pentagon. Another Soviet invasion is launched into Florida to destroy the American fleet there, which was threatening the Soviet invasion of the East Coast.
Even though the Commander is almost fully responsible for these victories, all the credit goes to the top Soviet commander, General Vladimir. Yuri recommends that the player captures New York City with a Psychic Beacon, a device that can mind-control the population of entire cities, while Vladimir is in Moscow celebrating so that Yuri and the "Comrade General" can also get some fame and glory.
The player follows Yuri's advice, and launches an offensive into New York City. After capturing the Allied Battle Lab, or research facility, at the World Trade Center, the Psychic Beacon is deployed and the entire population of the city falls under Soviet control.
To counter the ever increasing and successful Soviet threat, forces from the Republic of Korea launch an amphibious attack on Vladivostok, and the player must "defend the motherland" at all costs. The Commander ruthlessly defends the "motherland", crushing all invading Korean forces in a brutal counter-attack. Alarmed by the situation, leaders of Allied Forces agree to send troops to the Polish border to help the USA fight the Soviets.
While the French Military has amassed near Poland, the Soviets send a special forces team to Paris, with special orders from Romanov and Yuri to "show the Allies the true meaning of Soviet irony" and to "leave nothing".
Once in Paris, the Soviets fight to capture the area around the Eiffel Tower. The Soviets then use three Tesla Troopers, soldiers with the ability to destroy vehicles with electric charges, to energize the "Eiffel Tower" and effectively turn it into a massive Tesla Coil, a tower which uses massive electric bursts to destroy its targets. The energized "Eiffel Tower" quickly destroys all Allied forces in the city and devastates Paris.
With this and other key victories in Europe, the nations of Europe are in a position of needing help itself rather than giving help to the USA. During this time, Yuri has been gaining more and more power by using his telepathic abilities to mind control Romanov. As a result, Romanov gives all military authority to Yuri, which greatly angers General Vladimir, who accuses Yuri of forcing Romanov to make that decision.
Yuri discards these accusations and tells the player to establish a "Soviet presence" in the Hawaiian Islands. The Commander is sent to the islands and destroys the American Pacific Fleet and all Korean reinforcements, allowing the Soviets to easily take over the islands.
Meanwhile, Romanov has become very ill and Yuri's intelligence has revealed that the Allies have constructed a Chronosphere, a device with the ability to transport troops anywhere in the world. The Allies intend to use the Chronosphere to launch an assault on a Soviet research facility in the Ural Mountains.
Yuri tells the player that this research facility is vital to the Soviet war effort and that it must be defended at all costs. The player takes command of Soviet forces at the research facility and manages to repel several Allied attacks on the facility.
While the Soviet research facility is saved, Yuri has murdered Romanov in his hospital bed, but framed General Vladimir for the crime. Yuri orders the commander to go to Washington D.C. to eliminate Vladimir, who Yuri declares to be a traitor and a "nonperson".
The player defeats Vladimir's forces and captures Vladimir in the White House with the aid of Yuri's psychic technology. In another briefing with Yuri, the player is informed of Yuri's plan to mind control the U.S. president Michael Dugan and thus be able to indirectly influence the American government and military.
A Soviet strike team of psychic commandos is then sent to San Antonio, Texas and covertly infiltrates the American base there around the Alamo and then put President Dugan under Soviet mind-control. The Soviets then discover that the Allies are developing a new super weapon in the U.S. Virgin Islands, known as a Weather Control Device, a device that can create thunderstorms with the power to devastate large areas.
The Soviets launch an amphibious assault on the islands and successfully destroy the device before it gets a chance to be activated. Impressed by the tenacity of the "Comrade General", Yuri asks the Commander to come to Moscow so he can thank the Commander in person. But Lieutenant Zofia tells the player about a video Romanov recorded before his death.
In the video, Romanov, with much difficulty, says that Yuri is controlling his mind and orders the Commander to bring the traitor to justice. The Commander goes to Moscow, but with a large army and the intent of apprehending Yuri.
Upon their arrival in Moscow, the player's forces engage with forces loyal to Yuri. The player then launches a devastating attack on the Kremlin and Yuri is believed to be dead. After going through Yuri's files, it is learned that the Allies have built a Chronosphere in Alaska, which they will use to attempt to launch a final assault into the Soviet Union.
Soviet forces are sent across the Bering Strait and destroy the Chronosphere and all Allied forces in the area. With all resistance destroyed, the player is now free to rule the world. However, in the end cut scene, Yuri's mind has somehow survived and telepathically communicates to the commander saying, "It would have been good to see inside your brain, Comrade. I still may get the chance..."

The Tesla trooper art by TJ Frame is among the earliest known concepts
The codebase of Red Alert 2 was based on a fork of an unfinished build of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, as seen by some residual files like the original upgradeable radar station sprite being present among the game assets and some code functions being missing (though later restored by community projects such as Ares). However, the game stability was improved and functionality was expanded, with the localization system seeing a particular overhaul.
The earliest datestamps of production assets originate from late 1999. The game was unveiled in April 2000 through possibly manipulated screenshots of assets that looked considerably different to what would be their final iterations.
The game was prominently featured at E3 2000 a few months later, by which time unit and structure designs would properly take shape. The E3 2000 build had a special functionality that allowed the player to control all units on the map regardless of the owner, for easier showcasing to the audience. Two maps from the event, one of them being a variant of Lake Blitzen, can be found in the finished retail discs of the game, but the latter map is unusable due to the changes that took place in the meanwhile.
In the mid-to-late summer of 2000, early beta builds were being developed, showing a less dark visual style while maintaining the core design. Most notable changes upon which a timeline can partially be defined were unit icons (cameos) in the sidebar, as they were developed in three stages: early textless cameos; elaborate cameos with text; and the final cameos with the finalized font that were mostly (but not entirely) derived from the previous stage.
Towards the end of the summer, LAN parties started taking place, likely to stress test the gameplay and balancing.
The Traditional Chinese localization is known to have been developed in the middle-to-late beta stages. It is the only official localization without dubbed cutscenes, instead using a subtitle system which can be copied and used for other versions of the game. This system would once again be seen in the Yuri's Revenge expansion pack.
Post-release
Around the time the Yuri's Revenge expansion pack was being prepared to go gold in September 2001[2], a decision came to delay the expansion and amend its cover art. It is assumed that since after the real-world 9/11 attacks, the cover art that featured annihilated civilian buildings like in the original Red Alert 2 seemed inappropriate. The packages for both Red Alert 2[3] and Yuri's Revenge were changed, but some markets ultimately received prints with the original cover. Likewise, certain authorized third-party re-releases like the 2004 SoldOut Software release of Red Alert 2 by Mastertronic used the original design.
Red Alert 2 has two unique campaigns, which lets the player choose which side to lead to victory. There also a short training campaign called "Boot Camp" that is simply meant to introduce players to the gameplay of Red Alert 2. Each main campaign has 12 missions.
Of the two campaigns, only the Allied campaign is considered canon, since it leads into the events of Yuri's Revenge.
There is also a skirmish mode in which the player may fight against computer-controlled opponents. Its rules are the same as that of multiplayer.
Red Alert 2 included LAN multiplayer as well as online play, similarly to Tiberian Sun.
Online play allows for tournaments, private games, public games, ladder ranking games and also contains a chat system. The game also featured the World Domination Tour mode first seen in Firestorm.
In 2005, control of online play for Red Alert 2 and most other Westwood titles was passed over from EA to XWIS, a community-run server that now organizes the ladder system, and, with the help of a community reporting scheme, bans cheaters. The server is sponsored by the EA Germany Community Team.
LAN mode can be established through the obsolete IPX protocol. However, a community patch by Understorm (mirrored here) replaces it with the UDP protocol, making it compatible with Tunngle and Hamachi.

Most of these characters, with the exceptions for Vladimir, the European Council members and the South Korean Commander, appear in Yuri's Revenge as well.
Red Alert 2 is the first Command & Conquer game on the PC not to have been censored in the German market in any way.
The game was not officially sold in mainland China due to the ban on the original Red Alert. However, shops selling pirated copies of games did sell a version of Red Alert 2 with a fan-made mod that included China as a Soviet country, which featured a special rifleman unit and even Allied technologies. Due to the lack of official information on Red Alert 2 among Chinese players, this was often mistakenly believed to be an official version of the game.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the cover art background featuring New York City was removed as it evocative to the attacks.

Honey bees are not native to North America, but to Europe and Asia. The front range of Colorado has over 500 species of native pollinating bees, none of which are honey bees, but are just as important. Most of our native pollinating bees are more solitary than honey bees and tend to live in the ground as opposed to the colonies that honeybees live in. The habitats of our native pollinators are threatened by land development, concrete, parking lots, etc. Unfortunately, we can't tend to these other pollinators the way we can honey bees.
Because honey bees are colonized, we are able to create habitats for them and care for them, and that is where beekeeping comes in. You should be a bee keeper because you want to contribute to the good health of bees in general. This means that harvesting honey probably shouldn't be your main objective. Keep a healthy hive, and rejoice in any surplus that they provide.
You don't have to be a bee keeper to help save the bees. Be a good steward of the earth, that is the best way you can contribute to the habitat and well-being of all of our pollinators, beekeeper or not.
This article explains how honey bees were introduced to North America in the 17th century. A few decades ago, an unfortunate parasite was also introduced to North America, and it has been threatening honey bees ever since. It is called the Varroa mite.
There are currently 3 major threats to honey bees: varroa mites, the use of pesticides , and diminishing food resources.
Varroa mites are currently the number one threat to bee colonies in North America. Varroa mites are parasites that attach to the bee, feed on the bee, and inject viruses into the bee. They are most commonly transmitted from hive to hive via other bees coming into the hive to rob honey or find a new home, or at pollination sites. Furthermore, 75% of these mites live under the cappings of the brood (babies who are still developing). So bees are being weakened before they are even born. Varroa mites reach their highest level of infestation at the end of the beekeeping season. They weaken the hive so that the likelihood of the hive surviving through winter is greatly threatened. Your number one objective should be to keep varroa mites under control throughout the season through diligent mite treatment.
Pesticides are the second threat to bees. Harmful pesticides used for crop management kill bees. Herbicides that do not kill bees show up in honey. Bee an advocate for limiting pesticide use and avoid using it in your own garden, and encourage your neighbors to do the same. Buy local organic foods when possible to support local growers who are farming responsibly.
Nutrition is the 3rd threat. Plant bee forage instead of lawns. Encourage your community to do the same! Providing a habitat for bees even if you aren't a beekeeper.
You don't have to be a beekeeper to save the bees! Do your part where you can by reducing the use pesticides and herbicides and by providing a bee habitat.


Wheatland Crossing Senior Apartments earned LEED Platinum certification from US Green Building Council.
Wheatland Crossing Senior Apartments, 216 N. Wheatland Ave, Columbus, OH.
Columbus, Ohio, (April 20, 2018) — Wheatland Crossing Senior Apartments has been applauded for creating a new affordable senior housing option in The Hilltop neighborhood of Columbus, OH. Wheatland Crossing, developed late last year by The Woda Group, Inc., has also recently earned LEED Platinum certification, the highest certification awarded by the US Green Building Council. The Woda Group, Inc. was renamed Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. in early 2018.
residents have low monthly utility rates and comfortable, healthy living spaces," said Joseph M. McCabe, Vice President–Development, Woda Cooper Companies, Inc.
Wheatland Crossing Senior Apartments is a 42-unit, $8.6 million community designed for residents age 55 and over who earn up to 60 percent of the area median income. It offers one- and two-bedroom units with bright; open concept living spaces; individually-controlled, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems; Energy Star appliances; and washer-dryer hookups. There are also many amenities such as on-site laundry facilities; a community room with kitchenette; and outdoor spaces including a gazebo, sitting area, raised bed gardens, and a Bocce ball court.
"When a building like Wheatland Crossing is certified LEED Platinum, it represents superior energy efficiency and indoor air quality as a result of proven sustainability strategies," said Sanyog B. Rathod, President and Chief Executive Officer for Sol Design & Consulting, a Cincinnati-based sustainability advisor who assisted with the project.
Wheatland Crossing was slated to earn LEED Gold certification, even higher than the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OFHA)'s minimum standard for funding. However, it was upgraded to LEED Platinum, Rathod explained, after on-site inspections and testing revealed a superior cumulative outcome in energy efficiency, plus seven other LEED points categories including location, suitability of site, indoor air quality, water use efficiency, awareness and education, materials, and design.
Wheatland Crossing's outstanding results in energy efficiency had a big impact on the Platinum certification, said Rathod. The heating and cooling systems, water heaters, and insulation are all high-efficiency and designed for high performance. "For example, its blown-in exterior wall insulation is better quality and provides more consistent thermal control than standard batt insulation often used in multifamily construction," Rathod said.
Additional credit through LEED's innovation point system was awarded to Wheatland Crossing as a result of three main factors: 1.) Achieving the highest standard Energy Star Version 3 certification; 2.) Universal design throughout the development, plus three fully-handicapped accessible units; 3.) Rigorous, mandatory training sessions to educate construction employees, subcontractors, and other trade workers on LEED processes and expectations.
"The training was an important step to ensure that everyone was made aware of sustainability protocols, and worked collectively to achieve the highest possible LEED rating," Rathod said. Additional training was conducted to educate residents on living in a LEED Platinum building, and on proper use of their apartment's heating/cooling systems and appliances.
Rental housing with sustainability and age-in-place features for seniors is in high demand in The Hilltop neighborhood, said McCabe. According to Woda Cooper's pre-construction market studies, over 83% of the area's 2,500 rental units available in the local market area were built before 1974. These do not typically reflect modern efficiency or accessibility standards, McCabe said. Many have outdated heating and cooling systems with aging insulation, and bedrooms and bathrooms that are often on the second level, limiting access.
Woda Cooper's affiliate Woda Management & Real Estate, LLC, oversees day-to-day management. Supportive services, such as daily meal service; health/wellness referrals; social activities; financial counseling; and other supports, are coordinated by Homes on the Hill – Community Development Corporation and LifeCare Alliance, two local nonprofit agencies.
The primary source of funding for Wheatland Crossing was made possible through the allocation of housing tax credits, bonds, and other loans from OFHA, including $1 million in Ohio Housing Trust Funds. The Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing (OCCH) invested approximately $4.1 million in equity for the tax credits, with Huntington National Bank as the secondary investor. Key Bank provided $4.6 million in construction financing and the Affordable Housing Trust of Columbus and Franklin County provided a bridge loan of $2.5 million. The City of Columbus pledged $500,000 through a Housing Preservation Bond Grant.
Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. and its affiliates are experienced developers, general contractors, and property managers specializing in the design, construction, and management of affordable multi-family apartments, senior communities, and single-family homes. Considered leading experts in the affordable housing industry, the Woda Cooper team is known for producing and maintaining high quality affordable housing. Affordable Housing Finance ranked the firm 6th overall among Affordable Housing Developers and 29nd overall among Affordable Housing Owners in its April/May 2018 issue. Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. has developed and currently manages more than 300 communities and 12,000 units, operating in 15 states. Offices are located in Columbus, Ohio; Annapolis, Maryland; Savannah, Georgia; Shelbyville, Kentucky; Norfolk, Virginia; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Mackinaw City, Michigan.

Teenaged Astrid Lindgren (Alba August), who later went on to write the Pippi Longstocking series, leads a carefree life with her family in the forests and fields of rural Sweden. Restless and eager to break free from the confines of her conservative upbringing, she accepts an internship at a local newspaper where she attracts the attention of its married editor, Blomberg (Henrik Rafaelsen). After Astrid becomes pregnant, she leaves her childhood home and goes to Copenhagen to secretly give birth to a son, Lasse, whom she reluctantly leaves in the care of a foster mother, Marie (Trine Dyrholm). Astrid goes into self-imposed exile in Stockholm, refusing Blomberg's offer of marriage and saving up her paltry salary for visits to see Lasse. When Marie falls ill, Astrid uses her imagination and flair for storytelling to reconnect with her son. In spite of her struggles, Astrid emerges with a newfound courage that will later form the foundation of a vast and beloved body of work.

Klondike Bar Policies in Developing Countries
Justin Hook ponders important ethical dilemmas involving Klondike bars, many of which can be applied to aid workers and the serious moral decisions made in developing countries. So, what would you do if:
You operate an orphanage and your funding has just been slashed. Kids are now going without dessert. Your friend owns a grocery store and is willing to donate 500 Klondike bars to the orphans if you lie and tell the government that he donated 1,000. What would you do-o-o?
In the midst of a heat wave, the power goes out throughout town. Yours is the only house in town with a working generator, which you can use to power either your air conditioner or your freezer. A number of townspeople bring their Klondike bars to store in your freezer. To save their ice cream, you must endure the heat for an unknown length of time. What would you do-o-o?
Don't ask what your developing country can do to assure Klondike bars for its people, but ask what you can do for your developing country to assure Klondike bars for its people. Particularly if they are orphans.
Everything You Ever Needed to Know About the Great Lakes in 14 Paragraphs
Over at the NewYork Review of Books, Howard French captures the history of everything you need to know about contemporary Great Lakes politics in a review of recent books by heavyweight Central African scholars Gerard Prunier, Rene Lemarchard and Thomas Turner. French's article, 'Kagame's Hidden War in the Congo,' is, well, not so keen on the current Rwandan regime. Apparently, the scholars concur:
In all three (books), the Kagame regime, and its allies in Central Africa, are portrayed not as heroes but rather as opportunists who use moral arguments to advance economic interests. And their supporters in the United States and Western Europe emerge as alternately complicit, gullible, or simply confused. For their part in bringing intractable conflict to a region that had known very little armed violence for nearly thirty years, all the parties—so these books argue—deserve blame, including the United States.
Wait, wait, wait. What about all of those awesome youtube videos of gacaca courts and starbucks producing coffee bean farms framed byepic African orchestral music in Rwanda? Where is the post-genocidal love?
In a recent interview, Prunier dismissed the recently much-touted reconciliation efforts, calling post-genocide Rwanda "a very well-managed ethnic, social, and economic dictatorship." True reconciliation, he said, "hinges on cash, social benefits, jobs, property rights, equality in front of the courts, and educational opportunities," all of which are heavily stacked against the roughly 85 percent of the population that is Hutu, a problem that in Prunier's view presages more conflict in the future.
Okay, hold on. All of those old genocidaires who live in the DRC and threaten Rwandan stability – don't they constitute grounds for some robust security policies?
The threat the Hutu group poses to Rwanda's own security is "vastly exaggerated," noting that its fighters "are no match" for Rwandan and Rwanda-backed forces amounting to "70,000 men under arms and a sophisticated military arsenal, consisting of armored personnel carriers (APCs), tanks, and helicopters."
Security spectacle? Ineffective reconciliation? Ethnicized monopolies over resources? More befuddled Americans? Essentially, this excellent article is exciting reading over a cup of Rwandan starbucks coffee.
Because it has been a crazy week with light posting and all anybody needs on a Friday Afternoon is to have Nigerian pop-star Djanb to call you his sweet potato:
Random Probability Kills 3 in the DRC
If that whole structural violence and severe conflict weren't enough, apparently random probability is taking its toll on citizens of the DRC. According to the Independent Online, 3 women were struck by lightening and killed yesterday in the DRC:
Separate lightning strikes killed three women in the same region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, after torrential rains began, a local chief said on Tuesday.
Fortunately, randomness is not one of those things that really exists in Congolese cultural cosmology:
Local superstition holds that death by lightning is sometimes supernatural vengeance to settle old scores.
Phew, wouldn't want those Congolese that they are ever unintentionally screwed!
Because King Sunny Ade does early 1980s juju and awesomely cheesy synthesizers like nobody else:
Tagged as Friday Afternoon Africana
1. New rebel leaders emerge in the Eastern DRC; just as horrible, but nowhere near as hip and fashionable as Laurent Nkunda.
2. Rwandan genocidaire sentenced to a long time in jail; prosecutors and defense fight over how long.
3. 50,000th refugee repatriated into Burundi; 49,999th unhappy that they didn't get a news article written about them.
4. Data shows 44% increase in attacks on humanitarian workers in Eastern DRC; 90% occur at dubious clubs in Goma.
5. Rwanda and China promote culture sharing; sweet and sour cassava becomes new state food.
I am Because We Are (Adoptable!)
Apparently, Madonna has produced and narrated a new film about Africa, I am Because We Are, in which she takes on the Ubuntu and AIDS:
We learn that when people ask Madonna, why did you choose Malawi, she answers (insert epic African music here), "I didn't chose it. It chose me"
Subtext: "And I chose it because they havethey have really, really cute brown babies and the lax international adoption laws!."

Downtown Tempe's Pedal Haus Brewery Is Expanding … Again
$10 Lunch: Fresko's Fast-Casual Greek Eats in Ahwatukee
Lamb souvlaki on a warm thick pita.
Soul food is more than fried chicken and collards. Soul food can be, for instance, lamb souvlaki. More precisely, it can be Kody Harris's $9.50 lamb souvlaki grilled at fast-casual Greek eatery Fresko Mediterranean Kitchen in Ahwatukee.
Chunks of lamb line the pita's fold. (Or a skewer — but I went pita.) Some are so huge that you've got to tackle them in two bites. They have fattiness and good chew, and a nutty, wild aroma tells you, each time you bite in, that you're in a zone way apart from chicken or beef. You get even more soft, oozing textures from the tzatziki and feta, hot richness anchored by scant tomatoes and onions.
Yep. Soul food.
"My parents are from Greece," Harris says, describing what she cooks at Fresko. "This is my soul food. This is what I cook at home, and this is what my family cooked when I was a kid."
Harris's mom comes from Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece. Her dad comes from a Tripoli, a town in southern Greece near Sparta. Long after moving to the U.S., her dad came to own ten restaurants in Oregon, a stable highlighted by diners. Harris started working in them when she was 8.
Food was serious in her house. Her dad kept goats in the basement so he could make fresh feta. (The animals pastured during the day.) Her family made meals largely of produce they had grown.
This is the kind of background that informs the cooking at Fresko. Fresko, which means "fresh" in Greek, has a menu 80 percent Greek and 20 percent pan-Mediterranean. All Greek eats come from Harris's family recipes.
Bougatsa, a classic Greek pastry
Harris opened Fresko last November, after decades of experience as a corporate chef. Both the soul angle and modern restaurant sensibilities are reflected in the low-key restaurant.
And the souvlaki rocks.
Souvlaki is a common casual Greek dish of grilled meat. At Fresko, where souvlaki melds with the fast-casual style, you can go for chicken or lamb. If you go lamb, you'll be lunching on an animal raised in Colorado. Harris sources whole lamb shoulders and legs, then marinates them for 24 to 36 hours. The marinade is simple: olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper.
"It's all simple," Harris says, "because that's how we ate growing up."
Harris ventures outside Greece and makes tabouli.
Tabouli, one of the non-Greek 20 percent, is also simple. Harris's take is the classic fresh, parsley-flecked salad of bulgur and minced vegetables. She also looks past Greece to make falafel, which she fries from chickpeas in the Israeli style-style. True, a few Greek specialties such as moussaka (eggplant casserole) hover above the $10 mark. But below, you can find the usual Grecian hits: spanakopita, gyro, stuffed grape leaves...
Bougatsa is a nice exclamation point to lunch at Fresko. "Bougatsa is a classic Greek pastry from the northern section of Greece," Harris says. "My mom used to make it as a mid-morning snack."
Lemon-vanilla custard fills a square of phyllo dough that Harris gives a quick toast for warmth. The custard has been thickened with semolina, to roughly the consistency of cheese. Powdered sugar and cinnamon coat the top. It's not all that sweet but has delicate flavors and lots of soul.

The Rubens have officially marked their return with an infectious new single in the form of soul-track 'Million Man'.
The ridiculously catchy new track is the result of an unlikely collaboration with Run The Jewels producers Wilder Zoby and Little Shalimar, who the band met at 2013's Laneway Festival. 2017 saw the New York brothers return to Australia to The Ruben's new recording studio – a WWII communications bunker in Sydney's outskirts – where they lent their chunky sound to The Ruben's delicious melodies.
The pop track features the perfect combination of rich vocals, sweet keyboard, gritty bass and soulful hooks, creating an irresistibly spontaneous mood. According to keyboard/vocalist/songwriter Elliott Margin, "The song itself kind of came from nowhere, just sitting at the piano and playing whatever came out." The final product retains that sense of freedom and vitality, bounding through its three minutes so rapidly you have no choice but to listen to it again.
'Million Man' is the first taste of new music since the band's chart-conquering sophomore album Hoops. Standby for The Ruben's highly anticipated third album, which is set to drop next year.

Water Utility Spearheads Honeybee Project
DC Water is proving honeybees can thrive in urban treatment plant settings
DC Water Sustainability
You'd have to look closely to notice the activity atop the utility building, but an otherwise plain rooftop has been transformed into a miniature ecosystem.
The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) has partnered with the D.C. Beekeepers Alliance to provide a healthy home for honeybees. Currently, the utility has four hives on the roof of the Central Maintenance Facility at the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant. Officials hope the effort provides environmental benefits and might serve as a model to other water facilities across the country.
"The organization wants to be a good environmental steward," says Bill Brower, manager of resource recovery for DC Water. "We want our program to be part of the urban agriculture movement, and beekeeping is part of that."
Brower and DC Water co-worker Chris Peot conceived the idea about three years ago. Brower says they have a mutual interest in learning about beekeeping, and are aware of recent nationwide declines in honeybee populations. They reached out to several people, including Toni Burnham, president of the D.C. Beekeepers Alliance, who was excited about the idea.
From there, DC Water worked with Burnham to host some of her hives at the facility. The utility purchased bees and much of the equipment, while Burnham provided the required woodenware and much of the beekeeping knowledge and experience. For three seasons, they've worked cooperatively to manage the hives.
"It's a good way to do it, as having bees is not a minor undertaking," Brower says. "You really have to carefully watch them, and then it takes a lot of expertise to keep them going and thriving. That's what has worked well with us, having a partner system. Toni is an excellent beekeeper, so it definitely falls upon her for a lot of the expertise."

Burnham says the Blue Plains facility hives range in strength from intermediate to super-strong. Brower says they've had no issues with the bees interacting negatively with people, as most of the insects travel and feed well above ground level. Everyone agrees that the program has gone well, but it hasn't been without unique challenges.
"Blue Plains is the largest industrial site in D.C., and figuring out how to keep bees well there would be a sign of great hope and potential for urban beekeeping across the country," Burnham says. "It is, however, not the same as typical apiaries, and we've had a lot to learn, mostly about prevailing winds and the energy costs to each individual bee of finding and bringing back forage. This year, we think we are learning more about challenges to colonies that re-queen themselves, and we may need to change up our game around that."
Another challenge occurred earlier this year, when a hive "threw a swarm," which occurs when the queen bee leaves the colony with many of the worker bees to form a new colony. Brower, Burnham and another DC Water employee collected the swarm of bees without incident, and Burnham then put them in a new apiary.
"What surprised us was that it was a different hive than one we'd been working on to suppress swarming," Burnham says. "Swarms happen when bee colonies are so strong that one decides that it could split and become two."
Burnham says the Blue Plains facility — the world's largest advanced wastewater treatment plant, with the design capacity to process about 370 million gallons of water per day — has proven to be a good site for the apiary.

"Bees need good access to water, which was a no-brainer, and the Blue Plains site is also directly on the Potomac River with a wooded ridge on the other side," she says. Further, the facility is near Oxon Hill Farm, a national historic district that has a living farm museum.
In fact, Brower says many wastewater treatment facilities nationwide would probably be good sites for apiaries because of their proximity to water and pollinating plants, and because they cover large areas and aren't located in densely populated neighborhoods.
"That's the part that could be replicable elsewhere in this marriage between keeping bees in urban areas," he says.
Public outreach and education are also critical elements of the program, Brower says. In late May, he, Peot and Burnham conducted a honey-harvesting demonstration at an area grade school using some hive frames from Blue Point. Students scraped the combs to release honey, and then the combs were spun in a large vat so the honey could be collected. Also, some honey collected at other times from Blue Point hives was bottled and given to public officials.
With such a tasty byproduct and the positive environmental impact provided by the apiary, some folks would like to expand the program. Brower says other DC Water properties — including a new headquarters building currently under construction — might be good sites for apiaries. The problem is finding another beekeeper interested in hosting the hives.
It also wouldn't surprise anyone if other wastewater utilities expressed interest in similar programs. Brower says DC Water has discussed the topic informally with one other utility and believes the idea will gain more attention.
"I think word is just kind of getting out," he says. "I think that even if it's just kind of a hosting relationship, it's kind of a nice community outreach thing."
Burnham agrees that the cooperative management approach and resulting benefits are ideal.
"One of our goals as city beekeepers is to weave ourselves into the DNA of our communities in much the same way that bees do in the green world," she says. "We want to be ordinary and for the role of beekeeping to be understood. There is nothing more basic and more ubiquitous to life than water, so what better partner? Also — and this is not hype — DC Water has proven itself high quality, innovative and green over and over again. We could trust them, and they could trust us. We both know that the highly populated future is going to provide us both with challenges essential to protecting the living world around us — people included."
And if two seemingly dissimilar disciplines can come together for a common goal, everyone benefits.

India has given the world bountiful reasons for happiness: Bollywood, butter chicken and Bhangra are the first few that come to my mind. Film and food aside, the striking subcontinent has made a lasting mark on the global fashion scene. Let us explore the iconic gifts of style that India has given to the world with love.
With humble origins in the traditional Indian churidar pant, the Jodhpur trouser is now a fashion statement in its own right and the key reason behind the birth of the 'Equestrian Chic' trend. Indeed, an Indian polo player popularized these pants in Europe. They quickly became a must-have in every horseman and horsewoman's wardrobe. Today, they are making waves across international runways and leading fashion magazines. I fell head-over-heels in love with Dolce and Gabbana's silky rendition a few years ago.
Once reserved only for the big fat Indian wedding, this sultry head accessory has absolutely skyrocketed in popularity, both in its home country and across the globe. In fact, Karl Lagerfeld was so inspired by this accessory that all of the models in the Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 show, aptly called 'Paris-Bombay', sported regal maang tikkas. And we all know that Karl can do no wrong, right?
The spread of the bindi trend to the furthest corners of the world has not been without its fair share of controversy. Opponents of the trend believe that those who sport it are actually disrespecting the Indian culture where the bindi is worn by married woman to signify their commitment to their husbands. Right or wrong, this trend is here to stay as an important part of the bohemian music festival style. I'd love to know what your take is on this craze – fashion trend or blasphemy?
Another ethnic bridal trend that has made it to the frontlines is the art of applying henna tattoos to hands in intricate designs. Popular with the artsy lot and bohemian babes, the henna tattoo trend has been spotted on many celebrities who are trying to make a bold fashion statement. It has also inspired an entirely new trend altogether – the temporary metallic tattoos that became all the rage at the end of last year. I've noticed that Vanessa Hudgens, a personal style icon, has been experimenting with henna designs for a while now. I have to say that I am pretty impressed with her handiwork!
To my mind, the sari is one of the sexiest outfits in existence today. A long kept secret in The Golden Bird (i.e. India), the sari has now made its way across the borders and into the hearts of fashionistas across the world. No matter how you drape it, these six yards of cloth scream elegance like nothing else. Is it any surprise that the likes of Madonna, a true-blue fashion queen, and Elizabeth Hurley, a sophisticated siren, have worn it? I hope to see more women rocking this sultry outfit on the red carpet in 2015.
Amazing post…Thanks for sharing this.


After rescheduling from International Bat Night (Saturday 27 August), we now had a perfect evening for surveying for bats. Warm, very little breeze if any, following some colder, windier weather. As a result, plenty of insects on the wing for the bats to feed upon, which they did, almost continuously around the transect route.
The Great Fen Monitors carrying out the survey were joined by several visitors for a guided bat walk as well, which recorded Common Pipistrelle, Soprano Pipistrelle, but also Barbastelle, Daubenton's Bat, Natterer's Bat and Noctule.
As the walk started, a Barn Owl flew past, and later the calls of Chinese Water Deer were heard. A very productive and enjoyable evening.

Competent experts provide a summary of the enormous progress achieved in the development of new detection methods of charged and neutral particles, and photons. These achievements were initiated by the advent of new particle colliders, e.g., the LHC at CERN, but also by non-accelerator experiments. Part 1 of Subvolume B reviews the interaction of particle radiation with matter, and describes particle detectors, like, e.g., scintillation, gaseous, solid state, time-of-flight, Cerenkov, transition radiation, and neutrino detectors. Calorimetry and nuclear emulsions are considered as well. Finally, signal processing for particle detectors, data treatment and analysis methods (including detector simulation, high-level data selection, pattern recognition, distributed computing, and statistical issues) are addressed.

The Su-meet > _SU-MEET > Free & Special Economic Zones, Past, Present and Future
Free Trade Zones have existed in the world since 300 BC, when the antique Mediterranean ports of Tyre and Cartage were two of the first such references
Livorno and Marseille, in the middle Ages, supported trade coming overland from the Silk Road.
The past two centuries have seen Hamburg (1888), Cadiz (1911) Panama (1948), Shannon (1959), Manaus (1967), JAFZA 1985, Montevideo (1989), Shanghai (1990) and Suez (2000); Salalah Free Zone, (2007), succeed as further examples adopting different regimes and systems.
UNIDO launched the Export Processing Zones programme in 1976, for which our beloved Hon President Mr. Peter F. Ryan (R.I.P.) worked so hard as Team Leader, creating more than 200.000 jobs in 12 countries during its first year.
In 1965 Lic. Jaime Bermudez from México set up the "Mexican Maquila" or Assembly Plants for Export, a scheme that in forty years reached 1.300.000 jobs by 2005.
Dr. K T Lee, the architect of Taiwan's industrial development, implemented an Export Processing Zones system of which Kaohsiung Export Processing Zones are today a national High-Tech Park with more than 65.000 jobs
Femoza plays the role of connecting these variously successful systems, still in use and enabled today by current technologies that operate within the global economy.
The Summit in Geneva will be a meeting point for multiple exchanges between Governments, CCIs, Zone Operators, Financial Institutions, SMEs, Logistic, Transport, Insurance, Engineering, Construction and Zone Supplies companies from 132 countries with Zones. Debate and example will define the challenges for countries yet without free zones, with the opportunity to master a programme, attract investors and create jobs, reaching prosperity by adopting suitable zone models. As the main challenge for all countries, without exception, is to create employment, FDI is the solution and Zones are the tool for delivering this.
Free & Special Economic Zones are the recognised means to achieve this, and by adding technology transfer to local Industry, improving labour force skills through training, they can thereby reduce for their investors. In this context, Femoza acts as facilitator to market requests, operating with high standards of method, transparency and professionalism.


I stepped onto a ferry. It took me from Bay Shore, on Long Island's mainland, to Ocean Beach, a stretch of the barrier island called Fire Island, where I joined a group of fellow photographers.
Do you have a particular place outdoors where you like to go to stroll/sit and think? In this video I explain why I favor Veterans Memorial and the September 11 Memorial in Eisenhower Park on Long Island when I want to contemplate life or simply to clear my mind.

Hello, I thought I should share this for people who have Hashimoto's thyroid disease.I had it for 21 years.I was put on suppression therapy because I had a nodule that was a colloid type non-cancerous.I would go to the endocrinologist about every six months to a year.Then when I was around 47 years old I started having hyperthyroid symptoms.I went to my endo Dr and complained,He did bloodwork and said they were fine.I continued with symptoms of heart palpitations,couldn't sleep etc.Went to emergency room at least four times,when in emergency room told them I needed a new Endocrinologist.They directed me to someone.I went to him right away he did ultrasound,radioactive Iodine test with uptake test.I was told that it was certain I had a malignancy of the thyroid.I had a total thyroidectomy in April 2005.First they said I had multinodular goiter upon a frozen section of the thyroid after surgery.Then two weeks later the results were in.Ihad follicular derived carcinoma.Thyroid cancer.I had to have radioactive Iodine ablation,two body scans to see if it had spread to my body.Luckily it was contained in the thyroid.I had a nodule that was 5.6 centimeters and 2 smaller ones on the left lobe.That dr. I went to for fifteen years did nothing for me,I could have died If I hadn't been persistant complaining.We have to be our own advocates for health,and also the dr.needs to listen to us not just look at our lab values.Not everyone feels good at the same level of synthroid.I just had a body scan done 2 weeks ago and it was negative,no cancer recurrence.If I had known that Hashimoto would up the chance of cancer I would have had surgery 20 years ago.I would not want anyone to go through what I did.Ask your Dr.about risk of Thyroid cancer with this disease.My dr.said it increases the risk of cancer.summeriI too have Hashimotos and it looks like I am heading in the same path as you. I am now taking METHIMAZOLE to prepare for my thyroidectomy. I only wish the doctor would have done this surgery years ago to save me from the horrible hyper/hypo rollercoaster! My doctor sounds very similar to yours. I am very anxious about my surgery, any advice? I am very anxious about the nodule and what might come out of it.
I had severe thyroiditis symptoms in my twenties. What happened as a result would be considered a thyroid storm. I had a stroke. The doctor missdiagnosied my thyroid problem. An ultra sound showed a very heterogeneneous pattern of echogenicity. This I had confirmed in my 2003 ultra sound. The think I have come to learn about doctor is they don't listen to patients. When you have everything consistant with a disease why don't they do the right test. I have almost died twice now because of doctor stupidy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
