Fisher was born in Burbank, California, the elder daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Connie Stevens.[1] Her younger sister is actress Tricia Leigh Fisher. She is the half-sister of actress Carrie Fisher and producer Todd Fisher, from her father's previous marriage to actress Debbie Reynolds.[1] Her parents divorced when she was age two, and she was raised by her mother.[1] She is of Jewish descent.[2][3][4]
Fisher and her sister toured the world with Stevens, attending different schools and having tutors. Fisher graduated from Beverly Hills High School, then attended Emerson College in Boston, as well as the University of Paris for one semester,[1] and, in the summer of 1987, an acting retreat conducted in Italy by coach Sandra Seacat.[5]
She was named Miss Golden Globe at the 1992 Golden Globe Awards.[6]
Her first movie role was Averil in the comedy Pretty Smart (1987), which starred her sister, Tricia. Joely then played Kris in TV's Schoolbreak Special drama Dedicated to the One I Love (1991) opposite Danielle Ferland. Next came the feature I'll Do Anything (1994) starring Nick Nolte, which helped her career as bigger roles followed.
She had a variety of guest roles on series such as Growing Pains, Blossom, Caroline in the City, The Golden Palace, The Outer Limits, Grace Under Fire and Coach.
In 1994, she was cast as Paige Clark on the sitcom Ellen. She played the role until the series ended in 1998. That same year, she earned a Golden Globe Award nomination. She also sang the theme song "Who has a perfect smile? Who has a comical style, who likes to hang out with her friends, who who? Ellen!" with Clea Lewis.[citation needed]
She followed Ellen with the role of Dr. Brenda Bradford in the feature movie Inspector Gadget (1999) opposite Matthew Broderick.
Fisher's Broadway debut was as a replacement in the revival of Grease (1994). She was also a replacement in the revival of Cabaret (1998). Her vocal range is alto.
Joely's career in music not only landed her on Broadway but she was featured in Albums. Her most noted album was "Tradition; a family at Christmas" which she, her mother Connie Stevens all sang various Christmas carols. She sang her own solo "Grown Up Christmas List". Her vocals are also heard singing "One For My Baby" in Harold Arlen's album "STAGE"
From 2003 until 2005, she starred in the Lifetime network's drama series Wild Card as insurance investigator Zoe Busiek. After that, she had a recurring role as Lynette's boss Nina on Desperate Housewives.

From 2006 until 2010, Fisher starred opposite actor Brad Garrett as Joy Stark in the Fox TV sitcom 'Til Death.
Fisher married cinematographer Christopher Duddy in 1996.[1] They have three daughters, born in 2001 and February 2006[7], and [1] the third adopted in September 2008.[8] She is also stepmother to Duddy's two sons, Cameron (born c. 1986) and Collin (born circa 1988).[8] As of at least 2004, the family lives in Los Angeles next to Fisher's sister Tricia, with whom she is close.[9]
In late 2008, she became an artist ambassador for Save the Children. She traveled to Xai-Xai, Mozambique, to visit with children that are part of the child sponsorship programs.[10]

Whata��s Behind Your High Bounce Rate?
A high bounce rate women for sale. is a death knell for any website, as it means that much of your hard-won traffic is exiting at the landing page, without clicking through to any other page within the site. If you cana��t retain your traffic, the likelihood of making a sale from the site is low.
If the traffic exiting your site has reached unacceptable levels, ita��s time to sit down and take action. The first place to start on your quest to encourage visitors to stick around is to identify whata��s causing them to leave in droves in the first place. A sitea��s bounce rate is a standard analytics metric, so you will likely uncover lots of useful data when you begin to dig around for clues.
1.A� Does your site appear in SERPs for irrelevant or outdated keywords?
Appearing for irrelevant or outdated keywords is a common flaw of poorly managed paid search marketing campaigns, but it can also afflict organic listings. If your site is ranking for unsuitable keywords, visitors clicking through expecting to find something specific will be disappointed when a glance at the page doesna��t reveal what they were looking for. In this scenario, the site viewer is more likely to return to the search results than browse buy sildalis around the site in order to satisfy their original search query.
Tackling this issue will take some work and may require either an overhaul of the paid search campaign or a new SEO keyword strategy. For irrelevant pages caused by outdated PPC adverts, a commitment to keeping keywords up to date with fluctuating stock levels and services is needed. A complete review of keyword choice across the campaign should also be scheduled, and any general or irrelevant keywords linked to landing pages showing high bounce rates removed.
If the problem is at an SEO level, ita��s important to revise the previous keyword strategy and create a new list of primary phrases to focus optimization efforts on. Coupled with this, it may be necessary to review landing page keyword usage and density to ensure cohesion between on- and off-page efforts.
2.A� Is your site design as good as it can be?
Websites are cheap atarax very visual creations, making presentation and first impressions all important. Poor site design is a massive turn-off for many visitors and rather than waste time trying to get to grips with the site, a large percentage will simply exit and click back to the search engine results page. Poor design is often coupled with a poor navigation structure, which makes it impossible for even those willing to persevere with the design to find what they are looking for.
To drive down a high bounce rate, make your landing page as attractive and easy to use as possible. Even relatively simple changes such as introducing an eye-catching logo or image, incorporating a clearly visible call to action such as a�?Call nowa�� or a�?Download brochurea�� or adding more white space instead of a busy screen can make a big difference to bounce rate.
The addition of a breadcrumb trail and simple navigation structure should also be factored in when considering design issues a�� if a new navigation framework makes it easier for a visitor to move through the site, bounce rates will fall simply by providing a pathway toward more useful information elsewhere on the site.
3.A� Is your content compelling?
Having successfully lured a browser through to the website a�� either via a PPC ad, organic listing, or third-party referral a�� the onus is on the landing page to encourage that visitor to stay put. If the landing page fails to hold the usera��s attention, a high bounce rate will ensue. A page with a lack of compelling content runs this risk by failing to engage the reader enough to make them want to stay.
Interesting, relevant content makes a website sticky and will win over even the flakiest of browsers. While identifying causes of bounce rates, ask yourself if your content is as fresh, informative, and relevant as it could be. Is too much of the content hidden below the fold? If so, simply rearranging its placement on the screen could be enough to lower exits from that page. If, however, your content leaves a lot to be desired, commit to investing in a decent copywriter to add information of interest or make time to sit down yourself to draft out new text. Something as simple as a case study, video-based product demonstration, or news item is often enough to turn around a high bounce rate and increase site conversions.
4.A� Is your product information causing problems?
A lack of clear description, missing images, no titles, and high prices can all send site visitors quickly back to the search results. A high bounce rate on product pages could be due to any of these issues and will need to be investigated thoroughly, not just to bring the bounce rate down, but to drive sales from the site up.
A good place to start when assessing the reasons behind bounce Red Viagra order rate on product pages is to check out competitor pricing and ensure your own costs are in line with the industry standard. If your price is higher out of necessity, consider adding value with free shipping or loyalty cards to bring you closer in line with rival vendors.
Detailed descriptions are also a must, as is the addition of images and product video where available. Dona��t be afraid to bring in other elements to product information pages such as testimonials or catalog downloads to make the page stickier. As with any major change, implement each element individually and monitor the impact on bounce rate and other site metrics before extending across every product sold.
Great article but what constitutes a high bounce rate? Are there any typical industry averages? In the offline world we know 90% of our advertising isn't going to be effective so we take that into consideration. In a typical bricks and mortar store we know we'll sell to one out of every two people who walk in the store. In a typical sales presentation we know we'll sell to one out of every four, and to have gotten face time with those four we would have had to have called around 64 others. That's all sales 101, but what are the comparable figures for online? Are they coming to the site as they would an offline store, or do they need to be presented to? Or, are they responding to advertising, cold calling or something else? How we measure the bounce rate needs to be determined by the method of attraction and engagement used to get the customer to the site.
Mark: Exactly what I was wondering about. What's a "good" bounce rate? It's complex and has many variables, as you pointed out in your reply.

Yongdingmen (chin. upr. 永定门, chin. trad. 永定門, pinyin Yǒngdìngmén) – dawna brama miejska Pekinu.

Wzniesiona została w 1553 roku jako brama Miasta Zewnętrznego. Wyznaczała początek prawie 8-kilometrowej głównej pekińskiej arterii. Przebudowana za czasów cesarza Qianlonga stanowiła największą z zewnętrznych bram miejskich Pekinu.

Brama została wyburzona w 1957 roku, gdyż stała na miejscu budowanej właśnie nowej drogi.

Pod koniec lat 90. XX wieku pekińscy naukowcy i intelektualiści wystąpili do władz miejskich z propozycją odbudowy bramy. W 2003 roku, w związku z przygotowaniami do igrzysk olimpijskich w Pekinie, rozpoczęto remont i przebudowę głównej pekińskiej arterii, a władze miejskie podjęły decyzję o odbudowie Yongdingmen. 10 marca 2004 roku ruszyła odbudowa bramy, prowadzona w oparciu o możliwie najwierniejsze odtworzenie jej oryginalnego wyglądu i z użyciem tradycyjnych materiałów i technik budowlanych. We wrześniu 2004 roku prace budowlane zostały zakończone.

Lexington, Massachusetts, UNITED STATES
Continued progress with ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial in CF and towards IND submission for OTC Deficiency
LEXINGTON, Mass., Nov. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Translate Bio (Nasdaq: TBIO), a clinical-stage messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics company developing a new class of potentially transformative medicines to treat diseases caused by protein or gene dysfunction, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, and provided a summary of recent updates and upcoming milestones.
"This past quarter, we made significant progress in advancing our programs, primarily focused on continuing to enroll and dose patients in our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of MRT5005 in cystic fibrosis," said Ronald Renaud, Chief Executive Officer of Translate Bio. "We also completed the IND-enabling studies for MRT5201 and are compiling the Investigational New Drug Application which will support the anticipated Phase 1/2 clinical trial initiation in patients with OTC deficiency in the first half of 2019."
Renaud continued, "Related to our discovery efforts, we are assessing data from our work in additional disease areas with the goal of advancing additional programs and leveraging the broad potential of our mRNA therapeutic platform."
Third Quarter 2018 and Recent Updates
Dosed multiple patients in Phase 1/2 clinical trial of MRT5005 for the treatment of CF: Translate Bio has continued to enroll and dose patients in a first-in-human clinical trial of MRT5005, an mRNA therapeutic product candidate that is designed to treat all patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) by addressing the underlying cause of the disease, including those with limited or no cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The primary endpoint of the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will be the safety and tolerability of single and multiple escalating doses of MRT5005 administered by nebulization. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the Cystic Fibrosis Therapeutics Development Network.
Completed IND-enabling studies of MRT5201 for the treatment of OTC Deficiency: With the goal of initiating a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the first half of 2019, Translate Bio has completed its IND-enabling studies for MRT5201, a first-in-class treatment designed to directly address the underlying cause of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency by providing mRNA encoding the fully functional OTC enzyme in patients with the disease. MRT5201 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for for the treatment of OTC deficiency in the US and EU.
Presented preclinical data supporting ongoing clinical trial at NACFC: Translate Bio's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ann Barbier, presented preclinical in vivo data in October 2018 at the 32nd Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) demonstrating MRT5005's ability to reach the lungs in animal studies, including in a disease model with increased mucus accumulation, resulting in functional protein expression. These data support the potential use of MRT5005 as a treatment for all patients with CF, including those with limited or no CFTR protein.
Closed collaboration and licensing agreement with Sanofi Pasteur to develop mRNA vaccines for infectious diseases: In July 2018, Translate Bio announced the closing of a multi-year research and development collaboration and exclusive licensing agreement with Sanofi Pasteur to develop mRNA vaccines for up to five undisclosed infectious disease pathogens. Upon closing in July, Translate Bio received an upfront payment of $45 million.
Anticipated Milestones
MRT5005 (CF): Initiate multiple-ascending dose portion of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial by year end 2018
MRT5201 (OTC Deficiency): Initiate Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the first half of 2019
Identify lead preclinical candidates for additional lung and liver disease targets

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results and Financial Guidance
Translate Bio ended the third quarter of 2018 with $161.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will enable it to fund its operations into the first half of 2020.
Translate Bio reported a net loss of $42.6 million and $18.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Collaboration revenue was $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018, which was derived from the collaboration and license agreement that the Company entered into with Sanofi Pasteur in June 2018, which became effective in July 2018. There was no collaboration revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were $45.7 million, compared to $20.8 million for the same period in 2017, and were comprised of the following:
Research and development expenses of $12.9 million during the third quarter of 2018, compared to $11.1 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to increases in personnel-related costs and an increase in costs associated with the continued development of the Company's product candidates.
General and administrative expenses of $6.0 million during the third quarter of 2018, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs, professional fees and insurance costs.
In the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized operating expenses of $26.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities related to future potential milestone and earnout payment obligations and anti-dilution rights with respect to common stock issued to Shire that the Company recorded in connection with its acquisition of the MRT Program in December 2016. The $20.7 million increase in expense was attributed primarily to an increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability for future earnout payments that could be due.

"We have cut down our collection runs – farmers have stopped tapping" – this was the 'news' I was told numerous times during a recent short visit to Sri Lanka: I was on (other) business in India, and used the proximity to visit a number of current and potential new supplier partners 'across the straights'.
Globally, the majority of rubber, some 85%, is produced by small farmers, not on plantations. Sri Lanka is no exception. But with world market prices low, past present and future, for many of them it simply does not make economic sense to invest the time and effort needed to produce rubber. It may be possible to eke out a living by tapping, whatever one gets for the raw latex milk is 'income'. But if income alternatives exist, i.e. other types of work, in the countryside, or in the cities – and if these provide a better return, the choice is obvious: you give up rubber.
And the same goes for plantations: sections, which previously, after 35 years of tree life, would have been replanted with fresh rubber saplings, are being converted to palm oil. A serious loss from an environmental point of view, as rubber trees are probably the best species for CO2 absorption.
Small farmers plant other crops, too, if they can. And even this group (apart from the very smallest of the small farmers) employs tappers: If tapping is stopped, it will result in job losses as well as a future skills shortage – that is IF rubber trees are still there to be tapped – should prices increase.
The Fair Trade premium of EUR 0.50/kg Dry Rubber Content (DRC) as fixed by the Fair Rubber Association ensures that producing rubber remains economical even in times of low world market prices, provided that the uptake is steady.
We are regularly criticised, that this Fair Trade premium is 'far too high'. But then: In 2011, when prices were at USD 6.19/kg DRC – how did the industry cope? Because, in the end, the cost of raw materials as part of a final product is usually comparatively small, that of the Fair Trade premium almost beyond the digits on a calculator: A balloon weighs 2 grams. The Fair Trade premium on 2 grams is 0.001% of EUR 0.50.
On the other hand: Take a car tire. For ease of calculation, let's assume the tire weights 10 kg – 30% of which may be natural rubber – so the Fair Trade premium would be EUR 1.50/tyre. 3% on a bargain tire costing EUR 50*. Too much?
Of course, for a company that buys 100 tons of rubber, whether for tires or balloons – the Fair Trade premium would add up to EUR 50.000 in Fair Trade premiums. It actually does, for our members – who physically show that it is possible to pay that extra and keep the latex flowing – with the help of consumers who care about the environment – and the living and working conditions of rubber tappers and farmers.
*) The car industry uses 70-75% of all rubber produced world wide. The content of natural rubber varies from tire to tire, as does the weight and cost of tires: Passenger car tires have a low content of natural rubber, high performance tires, e.g. buses, air planes, formula one use a maximum amount due to the requirement for heat resistance, abrasion etc.

New Zealand Fluoridation Legislation
New Zealand Fluoridation Legislation: Take Action Now!
Legislation was introduced to Parliament on the 17th November 2016. This Legislation will shift responsibility from the local councils and give it to the District Health Boards. It is designed to make it virtually impossible to stop fluoridation in currently fluoridated areas, or to keep it out of places that do not have it – even if they have said "no" to it in the past.
Local Councils will be required to do as the DHB dictates or face a fine of $200,000 and a further $10,000 per day of non-compliance.
Related: Fluoride Action Network: A Report From New Zealand
This Legislation does not allow for DHBs to consult with the community and it only allows a very narrow range for the DHBs to evaluate the subject as they will only be allowed to consider dental health in the community against the cost of fluoridation.
Download: Health Fluoridation of Drinking Water Amendment Bill
They are being steered to only consider the 2009 Oral Health Survey rather than much more comprehensive data.
They are not given any leeway to consider overall health effects.
Submissions Close 2nd of February
As you will see from the transcript and related documents and the video footage of the MPs that spoke at the first Reading (5th of December 2016) – National, Labour and the Greens support the Bill. The Labour Party even want to strengthen the legislation by making it mandated by Central Government just in case a DHB tries to wriggle out of it.
In a press release in December 2016, Labour also condemned the Maori Party for running a poll to find out what people think. Progress on the Bill can be found here
Fluoride & The Brain
You will also see that none of the speakers know very much about the subject. Health Select Committee Chair Simon O'Connor mistakenly credits his good teeth on taking fluoride tablets as a child.
Unbeknownst to him, the Ministry of Health no longer recommends fluoride tablets because we now know fluoride doesn't work by swallowing and fluoride tablets cause dental fluorosis!
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne, who introduced the Bill, has called us "tin-foil hat wearing, UFO-abducted pseudo-scientists." He mustn't realise that he is insulting around half of the NZ population.
Related: Undeniable Evidence From Numerous Studies Proves That Fluoride Causes Cancer
Results from all referenda held in NZ show that people tend to vote status quo. As only half of the country is fluoridated (23 councils out of 67, not "27 councils have rejected fluoridation" as Peter Dunne incorrectly stated) which means that roughly half the population is opposed to fluoridation (or maybe more than half) and if a nationwide referendum was held tomorrow, we would have a good chance of winning.
The NZ First Party thinks the issue should be decided by local referendum. The Greens supported the Bill "at first Reading stage" as they, too, have concerns about local decision-making – but the Greens as a party do think fluoridation is safe and effective. It shows that most of them must only have read the Ministry of Health propaganda.
How to Stop the Legislation
The Government is now giving until the 2nd of February for us to send in written feedback on the issue. The law allows everyone who gives feedback to have 10 minutes speaking time for individuals, and 15 minutes for organisations.
At the Hamilton Tribunal in 2013, 1557 people put in a submission, 1385 opposed fluoridation and 130 people spoke at the hearing to support their submission. That required the councillors to sit through 3.5 days of oral submissions and the result was a 7 to 1 vote to stop fluoridation.
Related: Why Does NZ Still Fluoridate? TV Commercial FFNZ
Unfortunately, some Hamilton councillors who had excused themselves from the Tribunal Hearing because of a conflict of interest, and did not bother to attend the Hearing as part of the audience, subsequently worked to overthrow that decision. (See Hamilton page if you would like more information on that).
Therefore, we urge everyone to give written feedback, and do their utmost to speak to that submission in person. We have been advised that It is best to keep feedback to a page or two with around half a dozen really salient points. The Hearing will be in Wellington, which is likely to be in February or perhaps March next year..
Ways to Give Feedback:
Use this Online Form If you don't know what to say, a personal testimony is good, or attach an article already written (suggestions here) or list a few points as suggested above. Send hard copy to Health Select Committee, Parliament Buildings, Wellington. It is really good if you can also say you will speak to your submission. This can be done by Skype if you cannot make it to Wellington.
Fluoride Free New Zealand will be providing a comprehensive written submission where we will explain the ineffectiveness and dangers of fluoridation and details of public dental health programmes operating overseas that actually do reduce dental decay.
Related: The Fluoride Deception
Please encourage your friends and family to help us now by sending feedback to the Committee and by informing everyone they know on the facts about fluoridation. The number of people that do this makes a difference!
You can also help by posting respectful and informative comments on Facebook, liking posts and comments and joining the discussions, particularly on the Facebook pages of the Health Select Committee Members. See the list below.
Remember, this is election year. We need to let politicians know we will not vote for them if they introduce this draconian legislation.

Are The Puppets Being Abandoned?


They went above and beyond to fix my I phone. I had other places tell me it couldn't be fixed, but they did!
Fox was easy enough. Only issue was the quoted time. I was told 20-30 minutes and in reality I expected closer to 40. Took an hour.
Don't take a bite out of the poisoned Apple. The charging port on my iPhone was malfunctioning. The Apple Store told me the charging port could NOT be repaired, and said I needed to purchase a new phone. You know what the Fix It All store told me? $50 and 10-15 mins. Repair before you replace. Save yourself time, money and the pain of the Apple Store take a bite out of you!
Love them!!!! We will come back for sure.... Hoping not to though! Lol highly recommend !! Britts the gal!!
Excellent service. Saved time and money by stopping here after another store told me my phone would need replaced. In and out in under five minutes and now my phone is working great.
What great customer service ! Fantastic store! Jason was so helpful and the pricing is great! Fun accessories too!


Children in Los Bancos, Ecuador, receive computer training in their new learning center.
A few years ago, I learned valuable lessons in sustainability trying to help the people of Los Bancos, a community of about 100 villagers living in extreme poverty in the jungle near Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Of course, by our standards, they did need everything. But if we truly want to help people, we need to be realistic when we organize projects. We need to objectively determine whether or not the people we're trying to help will be able to manage and maintain whatever it is once we're gone.
Chickens. With a chicken ranch they could have fresh meat and eggs whenever they wanted and could sell the chickens and eggs for cash.
I made my way through the intricacies of the Matching Grant system. The villagers were taught how to raise chickens. The computer learning center (a bamboo hut) was built with funds from the villagers and Guayaquil Rotarians. The hut was filled with computers, work stations, and a network to link them all. Rotaractors taught the children how to use the computers.
The computer learning center flourished, and as it turned out, there was an Internet Service Provider in Guayaquil who could build a 200-foot-high tower necessary to reach above the jungle canopy with an antenna on the top, and bring the Internet to the village for a year ─ all for the project's remaining balance of US$5,000.
So Internet came to the jungle. The students all made their own Facebook pages. We arranged to meet, via Skype, right there in the bamboo hut. Out in the middle of the jungle, in the midst of extreme poverty, the children and their parents, the Rotarians and the Rotaractors, all got to meet my club and other local Rotarians in real time, and not a dry eye in the place.
Unfortunately, in our case, time passed and it became clear the villagers weren't quite ready to go into the chicken ranching business. The chickens either died or were eaten by wild dogs and cats. Storms drove rain through the cracks in the bamboo hut, ruining all the computer equipment. Our club leadership changed and so did that of the Guayaquil Rotary club, which turned its attention elsewhere. There was no money to pay the Internet bill.
I have recently reached out to reconnect with my Guayaquil contacts. The tower is still operational and two clubs want to take another run at the project. It's possible we'll breathe new life into the effort.
The model we created for US$25,000 was not only sustainable, it could completely revolutionize the way Rotary helps those in need. One effort with four parts ─ clean water, sanitation, training in computer skills, and internet connection linking the village with the world. Each could be a separate project but coordinated by a single club. As many as five clubs could work together making a long-term commitment, sticking with it until the village becomes self-sufficient.
If we are truly going to help, we need to be in it for the long haul. And that's what sustainability is all about.
Rotarians join in observing World Water Day 22 March.

What is your overall goal in doing this project?
Question 1: What happens when the pump needs maintenance or repair? Who will do that work? Where will the money come from for parts and tools?
Question 2: What happens when the latrine block septic system or toilets need maintenance, repair or replacement? Who will do the work? Where will the money come from for parts and tools?
Question 3: What happens when the computer network software or hardware needs maintenance, repair replacement? Who will do that work? Where will the money come from for parts and tools? How will the equipment be protected from rain, dust, sand, theft?
Question 4: What happens village mothers in the surrounding areas learn about this "window of hope" Rotary is offering, and want to send their children to the learning center to gain the same opportunity? How will the village handle growth, and success?
Question 5: What happens when the Internet service bill comes due each month, or each year? Who will pay it? Where will the money come from?
Question 6: What happens when the software the village students are learning to use needs to be updated, or new software installed? Who will do that work? Where will the money come from?
Question 7: Who will teach the classes that students will take in order to learn how to use the computers, and the programs installed on them? How will the students progress in their learning from class to class, and from year to year?
But here's a truth: People living in poverty – even extreme poverty – want to be self-sufficient. They don't want to have to depend on others to give them resources, but they lack the education, the clean water, the sanitation, the health, the strength, the tools and the resources to make their dreams become reality. That is where we come in. But we must be willing to commit to a project until the people we're helping no longer need us. That is the lesson of Los Bancos. It may take 20 years of teaching and helping the villagers learn how to become self-sufficient, as the children grow to adulthood drinking clean water, living in sanitary conditions, getting regular medical care, good nutrition, and ongoing education.
Before we set out to truly help a village or community, anywhere in the world, we need to count the cost, and be very careful before we start spinning the Rotary wheel in their lives; because the cruelest act we can possibly commit is to offer hope to people who have no hope, and then a year or two later disappear.
I am from Bougainville a provice in Papua new Guinea. Our community is interested in setting up a computer hub and a satelite so we can also teach young children to learn about computer. We are also interested to set uo water supply centres and proper sanitation systems. All in all a solar power system.
Excellent article pointing how important it is to followup on projects.
Yes…. we need to be realistic when we organize projects.
I believe this blog -Lessons in sustainability from the jungles of Ecuador by Rob Wood, past president of the Rotary Club of South San Francisco, San Francisco, USA, teaches all Rotarians actual meaning of sustainability which is one of the main conditions of Future Vision Plan (Global Grants). Just Fantastic. Lets share this with all our Rotarian friends.

Некерована бомба, також відома як бомба вільного падіння, гравітаційна бомба або тупа бомба — звичайна бомба, яка доставляється літаком і не має  і таким чином просто слідує балістичній траєкторії.

Такими були всі бомби, що були в загальному використанні до другої половини другої світової війни, і в широкому вжитку до кінця 1980-их.

Корпуси бомб зазвичай мають аеродинамічну форму, часто з поверхнями в хвостовій частині, що зменшує опір і підвищує стабільність після викиду, що слугує для підвищення точності і стабільності траєкторії.

Некеровані бомби зазвичай використовують контактний детонатор для вибуху при ударі або через декілька мілісекунд пізніше, якщо необхідний проникливий ефект. Альтернативою є детонатор із альтиметром, що дозволяє здійснити повітряний вибух на бажаній висоті.

Сповільнена бомба

Сповільнені бомби використовують механічні методи створюючи збільшений аеродинамічний опір, за допомогою парашуту, , або пелюсток що створюють опір. Ці засоби розгортаються після випуску, сповільнюючи падіння і скорочуючи його початкову траєкторію, і дають додатковий час літаку покинути зону вибуху при бомбардуванні на малих висотах або при ядерному бомбардуванні. Однак, такі бомби є менш точними ніж звичайні бомби вільного падіння.

When I first started this blog, my husband was among the first to read every post. It was only when I began to plot out the details of my cuckolding plan that I restricted him from viewing this blog. He is once again reading these posts.
To my husband, this blog is a mechanism for appealing to his desire to be publicly outed as a submissive without the consequences of our family and friends having access to the intimate details of our personal life. I think that many submissive men want the world to know that they serve their wife, but also recognize that the world immediately around them may not be quite ready for that reality.
I may again decide to take another look at cuckolding. If I do, I will likely think of another way of sharing the details of my intentions outside of this blog yet still involve the growing community of readers interested in our relationship. The idea of having a large number of strangers knowing more about my intentions than my husband has a great appeal to me -- despite what anyone else might feel about it.
I am a submisive feminized husband-really wife- who serves his mistress wife/husband in all ways.
I wish to thank you Miss Katherine for publishing this blog so that others like myself will take heart that we are not alone in wanting to submit to wives. I agree that your husband is not the same as I am and we all can submit in different adoring ways.
We both have read with bated breath the continuing adventure that you both have embarked upon. We thank you for sharing with us.
My husband has asked me to remind you that dominance is a never ending corridor for a woman. I have learned that from her and have expanded my limits of submission mightily. Such expansion just helps me grow in my adoration and love for her.
I to am a submissive feminised wife to my Wife.I am however feminised under my clothes only, and inside my heart and brain where my true submission and happiness exists.Living in a female led marriage is the most wonderful experience.My wife loves me and appreciates me taking on all the domestic chores in the house.I never thought I would enjoy cooking and cleaning the way I do.To make her happy and serve her in any way she needs is my whole focus.I used to be submissive only in the bedroom, now I am outside as well and my Wife is happier than ever.

Reno de Medici Restarts Recycled Board Mill in Villa Santa Lucia, Italy
RDM's Villa Santa Lucia mill operates one board machine with an installed capacity of 220,000 tons per year of recycled cartonboard.
Jan. 5, 2023 - Reno de Medici (RDM) on January 2 restarted its recycled board mill in Villa Santa Lucia, Italy, after the forced closure of a local waste treatment plant in August of 2022 resulted in the mill operations being shut down. The treatment plant, which is operated by a third-party, is significantly used by the mill.
The mill's operations had been suspended since August pending the "adjustment and arrangement of the purification plants ordered by the court of Cassino." 1
RDM said the restart of the mill follows more than four months of intense dialogue between the Group and local institutions.
"The restart of the paper mill once again confirms the RDM Group's willingness to invest in the protection of the environment and the future of the community in which it is operating," said Michele Bianchi, CEO of RDM Group. "Now we are ready to get back to work together with the more than 250 employees who will finally be able to resume their role at the paper mill.
"The restart will not be easy -- the difficulties caused by the imposed production stoppage are many and concern both the economic profile as well as reputation. Now we are working to overcome the difficulties, ensure the ordinary resumption of business and regain our commercial strength," Bianchi said.
RDM Group, with headquarters in Milan, Italy, is the second largest European producer of coated recycled cartonboard, the largest in Italy, France and the Iberian Peninsula.

Italian PM Conte denounces Salvini for toppling government
PMN Elections
ROME — Italy's prime minister accused his interior minister, right-wing politician Matteo Salvini, on Tuesday of trying to drag down the ruling coalition for personal and political gain, putting the nation at risk of financial instability.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, addressing parliament after it was recalled from its summer recess to decide the future of the barely year-old government, accused League party chief Salvini of seeking to cash in on his rising popularity.
"(Salvini) has shown that he is following his own interests and those of his party," Conte told a packed Senate, with a stony-faced Salvini sitting by his side. "His decisions pose serious risks for this country."
Conte, who belongs to neither of the coalition's two parties, was widely expected to resign later in the day, opening the way for the head of state to begin consultations with parties to see if a new coalition can be formed.
Failing that, President Sergio Mattarella would dissolve parliament.
Conte made his attack as Salvini sat right next to him, at times shaking his head, rolling his eyes or nodding to League senators as the prime minister unleashed a blistering critique of his actions over the past two weeks.
On the other side of Conte sat Luigi Di Maio, head of the League's now-estranged coalition partner, the 5-Star Movement, which was branded as obstructionists by Salvini over the past 12 days, since he pulled the plug on their alliance.
Salvini has demanded early elections, 3-1/2 years ahead of schedule, confident his surging popularity will sweep him into power as prime minister and push the anti-establishment 5-Star into opposition. (Reporting by Crispian Balmer Editing by Mark Bendeich and Mark Heinrich)

MS-13 gang members indicted after 'medieval-style' killing spree in Los Angeles
Federal racketeering, murder and other charges were filed against 22 alleged MS-13 gang members linked to a series of grisly killings in Los Angeles.
MS-13 gang members indicted after 'medieval-style' killing spree in Los Angeles Federal racketeering, murder and other charges were filed against 22 alleged MS-13 gang members linked to a series of grisly killings in Los Angeles. Check out this story on Daily-Times.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/07/16/ms-13-gang-members-indicted-after-medieval-style-killing-spree-la/1746551001/
Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY Published 1:15 p.m. MT July 16, 2019 | Updated 5:20 p.m. MT July 16, 2019
LOS ANGELES – Federal racketeering, murder and other charges were filed against 22 suspected MS-13 gang members who law enforcement officials believe are linked to a series of grisly killings involving baseball bats, machetes and other tools of "medieval-style" violence, authorities said Tuesday.
Nineteen of those indicted are considered illegal immigrants, and most of the group's members arrived in the U.S. in the past four years from Central America. All but two are under the age of 24, Nicola Hanna, the U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles, announced at a news conference. Most, he added, participated in the "killing spree."
The arrests – the last came over the weekend – capped a two-year investigation. While President Donald Trump has singled out MS-13 as a threat to public safety in the making the case for tighter security along the Mexican border, Hanna said the defendants mostly preyed upon other recent immigrants who they believed were rivals.
MS-13 "has been named as one of the top five transnational threats to the U.S.," Hanna said. "MS-13 has spread like a cancer ... throughout the U.S."
Those arrested were all part of the so-called Fulton clique of MS-13, one of the most violent of about 20 factions of MS-13 operating in the Los Angeles area, Hanna said. The clique operated primarily in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley.

The indictment cites seven instances in which members abducted victims to kill them, in some cases beating them to death with baseball bats or stabbing them to death.
In one of the most horrific allegations, several are accused of luring a perceived rival gang member who they believed to have defaced MS-13 graffiti to the forest outside Los Angeles and killed him with a machete. They dismembered his body and cut out his heart before dumping the remains into a canyon, authorities said.

The case "centers on murders and medieval-style violence," said Paul Delacourt, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles office. Until the spree began, "we haven't seen this level of violence associated with MS-13 in Southern California."
The FBI conducted the investigation in conjunction with Los Angeles police, county sheriff's department and the district attorney's office.
Hanna said this is only the latest action against MS-13, which engages in extortion and drug dealing, among other activities. He has said his office targeted 34 members of the group's leadership for indictments.

Twin Cities Daily Planet (https://www.tcdailyplanet.net/arrival-crescent-moon-period-deep-reflection-begins/)
With the arrival of the crescent moon, a period of deep reflection begins
By Ibrahim Hirsi (MinnPost) | June 30, 2014

When the anticipated birth of the new crescent moon of Ramadan occurred Saturday, Liban Adam and Khalid Mohamed moved forward with their plan for the holy month: To help ensure that poor Muslims have food on the table after long days of fasting.
The youngest known activists in the Minneapolis Muslim community, 21-year-olds Adam and Mohamed have a busy schedule ahead this Ramadan, which coincides this year with some of the longest days of the year.
With Mohamed juggling full-time office support duties at the City of Minneapolis and Adam working with the Minnesota DFL House Caucus, both are observing Ramadan, which began Sunday.
Like 8 million Muslims in the United States, Adam and Mohamed fast during the holy month, which means neither eating nor drinking from dawn to dusk until July 29. They also will be involved in working with Walaal Afuri, a program that raises funds for people in Somalia, who don't have the means to buy food during Ramadan.
Originally established by young people in England, Walaal Afuri, or "feed a brother/sister," was recently adopted among the Twin Cities youths.
Community Sketchbook focuses on the economic and social challenges facing communities, especially low-income communities and communities of color, and how people are trying to address them. It is made possible by sponsorship support from The Minneapolis Foundation. Community Sketchbook articles may be republished or distributed, in print or online, with credit to MinnPost and the foundation.
"In Minnesota, we have big meals to break our fasting with at sunset," said Mohamed, a senior information technology student at Rasmussen College in Egan. "In Somalia, many can't afford to buy food. So we want to make sure those people are fed through this initiative."
Walaal Afuri has not taken shape yet, but Adam and Mohamed say they hope to touch thousands of lives in the coming days. "We will start door knocking and fund-raising activities for the project," said Adam, who alongside Mohamed, reached out to local media to raise awareness for the initiative.
Long days of fasting
The annual arrival of Ramadan rotates through the seasons according to the lunar calendar, and this year it falls in the summer. The long days and heat of July could make the traditional fasting even more of a challenge for the 150,000 Muslims in Minnesota this year.
"It's not going to be easy," Adam said of Ramadan, which translates this year into nearly 17 hours per day of fasting. "Part of the reason we keep ourselves busy is because we're avoiding the hardships that come with it. You're more likely to feel it really bad when you're not doing anything."
Adam, who was born in Oregon and grew up in Minneapolis, said Ramadan fell in the wintertime when he first started fasting at a young age. "[Fasting] was really easy then," he said. "We were done by 4 p.m."
During Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, Muslims are commanded to refrain from eating, drinking — even water or chewing gum — smoking and sexual activities from dawn to dusk.
Muslims believe that Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Mohamed. With intense devotion, Muslims around the world fast during the day. During prayers at mosques at night, they recite and listen to the 30 chapters of the Quran, one chapter a night, over the course of the month.
'A time for reflection'
When the anticipated new crescent moon was announced last Saturday, hundreds of Muslim worshipers flocked to Abubakar As-Saddique Mosque in Minneapolis.
Men and women in traditional Islamic clothing joined for special Ramadan prayers (taraweeh), formed straight rows, bowed and prostrated themselves with their faces toward Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The one-hour taraweeh prayer, which started at 11 p.m., was the official opener of the fasting month.

"In this month, Muslims also abstain from lying, cheating, back-biting, gossip and other bad habits," said Sheikh Abdirahman Ahmad, imam of Abubakar As-Saddique Mosque, in a lecture about Ramadan. "Charity is very significant in Islam, and even more so during Ramadan. Help the poor and the needy. Stay in touch with your relatives. Give what Allah has given you."
U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, celebrated Ramadan on Saturday. "Ramadan Mubarak! Peace and blessings to all," he wrote in part on his Facebook page. "For me, Ramadan is a time for reflection, contemplation, renewal, revelation, redemption, reconnection."
And for Adam and Mohamed the month is also about living the life of the poor and experiencing how it feels stay without food or water for a period of time.
While Muslims throughout the world are commanded to fast, young children, the elderly, people with medical conditions and women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating are exempt.

5:45 am and I hear the sound of her phone announcing that is time to rise and shine and get ready for a new day. However, I don't have to rise just yet, I have an hour or so before duty calls. Smiling, I roll over in bed, adjust the covers and prepare to dose off until it is my turn to get motivated. But wait, I sense a problem. I hear her fingers manipulating the phone as the light of the screen sends a near blinding light across the bed and directly into my face. The dog dives back under the covers hoping to recover her eyesight and I can hear her wimper softly. What could she possibly be doing with the phone? Texting? Sending a Tweet? A selfie for Instagram? Unfortunately it is worse than that, we are entering the dreaded "Snooze Zone." I don't mean snooze as in we are actually going to be able to get more sleep, no I am referring to that lovely little alarm feature that will make sure that no one will get a lick of shuteye for the rest of the morning. Apparently the 5:45 alarm was merely a suggestion. You know, kind of like when the doctor gives you a prescription for a cold and suggests you should probably watch your drinking. In theory a great idea but altogether impractical. I lay there attempting to get comfortable but what is the point? Once you have entered the Snooze Zone you are good and properly screwed. I stare at the ceiling waiting for the next blast of the alarm and ponder the logic of setting an alarm for a time that you have absolutely no intention of getting up for. Frankly, it makes zero sense. If you really don't have to be up until 6:30 set the mother scratching alarm for 6:30. No one is winning bonus points on the scoreboard of life for setting the alarm for an ungodly hour and then ignoring it and subsequently disturbing everyone else in the process. At my advanced age every precious moment of sleep should be guarded and cherished not used and abused like a $2 whore. Luckily I think I have solved this horrible problem. I just had Rachel take a quick look at this draft and I am pretty sure I am in the clear. I don't think her alarm should be an issue for me as I sleep on the couch tonight.
