In the days before women's liberation, women were expected to play only one role and that was as home maker. This involved being wife, mother, and cook and clean up woman.
Perhaps life was simpler back then. The men took care of providing food and shelter and the women took care of the home.
Women's liberation has meant that women can now think beyond the hearth. They can aspire to have dreams and hope to have the opportunity to use their grey matter. Women's liberation has meant that women have a choice at least.
We can actually choose to pursue a career. However the new age woman is expected to work and still perform her duties of homemaker, which is a tough act and it is this which has led to women having to succumb to making a choice.
Educated women are increasingly under pressure to dump their jobs in favour of staying at home.
Women are the ones chosen by God to carry out the important task of procreation so there is no running away from that fact. Women could find a way to work around this which of course would mean some amount of juggling. It would mean thinking out of the box.
Many women who have wanted to pursue their dreams or career along with motherhood have chosen to work from home. Many mothers have opted to work part time. There are actually many ways to raise good kids and being a stay-at-home mom is only one of them.
The sooner women accept this the easier it will be for them to get on with their lives.
Someone once said, "The flight from the home is a flight from yourself, from responsibility, from the nature of woman, in pursuit of false hopes and fading illusions." This is not true.
Pursuing a career while having an active family life is no longer just a thought, it is a reality that many women are living and having dreams beyond motherhood is no longer considered evil. It would however be sad if women chose not to live up to their potential.
Motherhood is only one facet of a female's life perhaps bestowed on her because she can handle much more. If a woman chooses career over motherhood she is constantly plagued with thoughts of having compromised her children's lives and in the event that she is forced to choose care over career she continues to just exist, having murdered all her aspirations and dreams.
It is important for everyone to understand there will always be a good percentage of women who need more mental stimulation than one is able to derive from reading a bedtime story in pajamas for the umpteenth time. Still it is a difficult choice to make and women shouldn't have to make it at all.
The reasons why women have been unable to get rid of the guilt is probably because they have not received much support .While in some countries the government has encouraged female education by providing free education for females, it has not provided an environment that will help a woman balance work with motherhood.
Most private companies allow for the woman to take three months leave when the baby is born, rightly because she is the one going to be delivering the baby, but it would help if the father of the baby was given leave for a couple of months as well.
Very few companies have in-house creches that can help the mother keep an eye on the kid while at work. If all companies would adopt this facility it would mean that a lot more women would come to work and not have to make that crippling choice. It would also mean that the money spent by the State on subsidizing female education would finally bear fruition.

SMCCCD Students Celebrate Birthdays Amid Shelter-In-Place Ordinance
Christian Carlo Ceguerra, Staff Writer
How did you celebrate your birthday?
This was the question asked to SMCCCD students, who had no choice but to celebrate their special day sheltering in place to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
Newlywed and medical billing specialist student Kaylee Juarez Arias from Canada College didn't get to do her plan that she had with her husband, which was to host their wedding reception in their apartment after their December 2019 wedding. The plan was to hold the event the same day as her 29th birthday, which was on April 1.

"We were about to send out the invitations in early March, but we both started to see how the pandemic was taking control over our lives," Arias said. "We decided to call off everything, and just see how this would evolve."
"Not much later, cities started to ban gatherings and then we decided not to even try to call people for my birthday – our wedding reception," she followed.
Arias ended up celebrating her birthday with her husband and relative, enjoying each other's company while savoring Mexican and Indian food they had prepared.
Middle College student Joanne Leung, from Skyline, was dismayed over the unpleasant surprise that ruined her 18th birthday celebration.

Joanne Leung at her house after shelter-in-place was issued in light of COVID-19.
"I do understand that this quarantine is necessary if we want to slow the spread of the virus, but this 18th birthday was very special to me and I want to have a memorable and happy celebration," said by Leung, a psychology student.
Leung, whose birthday was on April 7, planned to spend the weekend before her birthday with her boyfriend and celebrate the actual occasion at school with her friends then have a family dinner afterwards.
"My celebration was very different from what I planned because I can't celebrate my birthday with other people beside my family." Leung said. "And it was shortened from a full day celebration into a celebration dinner."
For her birthday wish, she hoped that the pandemic would end soon.
"It has been affecting many people's lives regardless of getting infected or not," Leung added.
For Robert Veloya, a computer science student from Skyline College, what he enjoyed most on his 19th birthday was the gathering and good food.
"My birthday was celebrated with a simple selection of food with people at home. After all, it's the thought that counts, right?" said by Veloya, who celebrated his birthday on April 4.
He initially planned to throw a party with his friends in San Bruno, however, the plan was dismantled following the shelter-in-place ordinance.
"Being at home and being at a hotel party seems different, but I don't mind as I get to spend time with family," he said.
Similarly, cosmetology student Kaitlyn Diaz from Skyline College also planned to throw a house party on April 13 for her 20th birthday, if only everything went smooth and normal.

"Originally I was going to rent a nice Airbnb in the city and throw a typical house party," Diaz said.
Diaz expressed how some things need to be done as part of everyone's sacrifice in facing the global threat.
"Although I am pretty disappointed that I can't even link up with family for dinner, I do recognize the seriousness of this pandemic," Diaz said.
She also conveyed that everyone's sacrifices will be fruitful once everyone makes it through the quarantine.
"I know some of us had really cool things planned, and it really sucks being confined to our homes on the one day of the year that belongs to you," Diaz said. "But waiting just a little bit longer will make it feel 10 times more worth it. "
"We can always throw a HUGE a** party for all the missed birthdays post-quarantine," she followed.
With the COVID-19 transcending into a global trend, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a shelter-in-place order March 19, suspending all nonessential activities to mitigate the spread of the disease.
Following this ordinance, the San Mateo County Community College District has suspended all face-to-face instruction and transitioned the rest of the spring 2020 classes online.
Additionally, a resolution made by the board of trustees, in consultation with the District Academic Senate, orders the suspension of all face-to-face instruction for sessions done during the summer term this year.
In a letter written by Michael Claire, the school district's interim chancellor, he expressed that the board is "[hoping] for the best, but [preparing] for the worst" in approaching the fall semester.

Mystic Sound Records proudly presents the full-lenght album of UK based producer, Graham Roberts, Narcose – Panda Eyes.

Today you are lucky to check out the drama that is happening here.

Space travelling is another joy prepared for you by Panda Eyes, and who knows; maybe you manage to locate the warmhole! Bass section makes it kicky dramatic, and the main point is that all is happening with this dubby mood, as if Lee 'Scratch' Perry were providing the shooting crew with cookies. Are you ready? Lights, Camera, Action, Music!

Vatican sends first tweet under Pope Francis
By Chenda Ngak
March 13, 2013 / 4:44 PM / CBS News
Updated 3:42 p.m. ET
The official Twitter account for Pope Francis has sent out its first tweet under the new papacy.
"Habemus papam franciscum," tweeted the pope's official account @Pontifex. The Latin phrase translates to "we have a new pope [Francis]."

The Twitter account for the Vatican was changed to reflect that a new pope had been chosen shortly after it was announced from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
After just a day and a half, the 115 cardinals eligible to vote elected the new pope. White smoke emerged from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel at about 2 p.m. ET, signifying that at least 77 cardinals agreed on a successor for Pope Benedict XVI.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Argentina, has been named the 266th pope. He will be called Pope Francis.

Pope Benedict XVI thanks supporters in last tweet
Soon after it was made known that a new pope was elected, the official Twitter page of the pope was changed from "Sede Vacante" -- an expression to signify the papacy is currently vacant -- to "Pontifex."
Benedict posted his last tweet at 11 a.m. ET on Feb. 28, as he prepared to leave the Vatican for Castel Gandolfo. Benedict's final message to the world's 1.2 billion Catholics said: "Thank you for your love and support. May you always experience the joy that comes from putting Christ at the centre of your lives."
The official Twitter account for the pope sent its first tweet on Dec. 12, 2012. Benedict posted a total of 39 tweets, which has been archived on the Vatican's website. The account has 1.6 million followers.

The mysteries of the octopus
The octopus is one of the most bizarre life forms on Earth – one of the smartest, most interesting, and most alien. It can camouflage itself in a flash, squeeze its entire body through a one-inch hole, and use their brains (yes, it has nine of them) to think and play. Chip Reid visits scientists at New England Aquarium in Boston, and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., and talks with Sy Montgomery, author of "The Soul of an Octopus," about these curious creatures.
At 35 Gary Clark Jr. is still clearly uncomfortable being heralded as one of the best guitarists in a generation. He's played the White House, and toured with the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. This year his blues/rock album, "This Land," is up for four Grammy Awards. Kristine Johnson talks with the musician who describes himself as a "simple dude from Austin, Texas who picked up a guitar."
Carlos Ghosn's great escape
You don't get as far as Carlos Ghosn has come without thinking outside the box, or inside the box for that matter, which is how the former Nissan executive – facing trial in Japan for financial wrongdoing – managed to skip bail and flee the country. He spoke (somewhat evasively) with correspondent Charlie D'Agata about his improbable journey.
Sunday Profile: Kim Novak
Now on the cusp of turning 87, Kim Novak is still finding herself. The star of such classics as Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo," "Picnic," and "Bell, Book and Candle," the actress turned her back on Hollywood in the 1960s and has since pursued artwork and a love of animals. Mo Rocca reports.
Overdue protections for pregnant workers
It's a story told hundreds of thousands of times every year across America: Women can get the job – just don't get pregnant. Even though pregnancy discrimination has been illegal under federal law for more than 40 years, pregnant women are pushed out of their jobs every day, because employers still deny accommodations to pregnant workers. Jan Crawford talks to women who have faced serious choices and sometimes tragic circumstances affecting careers and family; and with two lawmakers trying to change federal law to better protect women in the workplace.

Being a good parent is not about the things you buy for your children. It's not about being a child's best friend or excusing, or even enabling, a kid's poor behavior. Parenting is not about always feeling good or happy—in fact when parents are actively parenting, both parties often don't feel happy.
What is parenting about? It's about making hard choices and setting boundaries. It's about teaching our children to be responsible individuals who own their choices and their consequences. Parenting doesn't stop, but I hope that if a I do a good job when my children are young, that it will be easier when they become adults.
It's hard to enforce consequences, especially when you see the sadness in your kid's eyes. Many times I want to say, "I'm sorry" before enforcing some privilege revocation. I don't like how down it makes me; just because it's the right thing to do, doesn't mean that it is easy. Then I think of Joe's words and remind myself that I am preparing my children for the real world; to do anything less would ultimately be a disservice to them later in life—even if they don't realize it now.
I don't know how Ethan Couch was raised, but can only conclude from the media reports that he had parents who thought it was better to demonstrate their love through placation rather than letting him feel the consequences of his actions earlier in life. Now, unfortunately, through his defense of "affluenza," one that was most likely funded by his parents, that placation continues. Where even today after four people are dead and two others were injured/disabled, this young man is able to continue with his life with little repercussion for his actions.
Could his parents have set limits all along and could he have still driven drunk that night with the same outcome? Quite possibly yes. Might there be less of a chance of that happening had he had parents that enforced boundaries? I would like to think so.
At the end of the day, my job as a parent is to help my children develop into independent, self-sufficient, compassionate adults. I want to prepare them for the real world in which there are boundaries and rules. Learning to respect rules and authority now will hopefully prepare them for the real world where the failure to heed its rules can result in sometimes harsh and unforgiving consequences.
Being a parent isn't always easy and doesn't feel good all of the time. But, it's in those most challenging moments that you're probably demonstrating your love the most by being a good parent.
You are so right. If doing the right thing for our children was always easy, then everyone would be a perfect parent. But the reality is that sometimes doing the right thing is downright difficult!
Thanks Katie… it is difficult. We just had a moment with our daughter this past weekend and it was so hard to stick to our rules, but in the end we knew we had to because she needed to learn.

One among probably the most common electrical wiring questions is regarding how to wire a change. When making use of switches at home is sort of quick, wiring a single may well not be that uncomplicated for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. There are actually several types of switches, but for this example, let us say you will be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly common swap (and also the most straightforward).
There are a few shades of wires in the regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and connect them over the terminal screws - 1 on leading and also the other on the base screw on the swap. The white wire serves being a supply of uninterrupted electric power and is particularly usually connected into a mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the green wire for the ground screw of your switch.
These actions would usually be enough for making a standard switch operate and not using a difficulty. Then again, for those who will not be assured that you can achieve the undertaking adequately and safely you much better permit the pros do it as a substitute. Just after all, you will find a rationale why this process is among the most popular electrical wiring questions asked by the majority of people.
For many reason, how you can wire a ceiling fan can be certainly one of quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this process, you should utilize just one swap for a single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it is really just a make a difference of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan for the black wire on the change. If there is a light, the blue wire really should be related on the black wire in the change at the same time.
There are reasons why these are generally the most frequently requested electrical wiring inquiries. Just one, a lot of think it is straightforward to do, and two, these are definitely the widespread electrical duties in your house. But then you definitely shouldn't set your safety at risk with your objective to save money. The stakes could even be a lot greater when you endeavor to spend less and do an electrical wiring work without the need of ample know-how or knowledge.

Freixenet-Copestick merger set for January 1
By Martin Green
| 09 November, 2018
Two of the UK's best-performing wine suppliers will officially merge on January 1 to create a new company called Freixenet-Copestick.
It will become the largest supplier of sparkling wine to the off-trade, ahead of Moët Hennessy, and the eighth largest wine supplier overall.
The combined group's annual off-trade sales currently stand at £114 million (IRI, year to September 2018). That leaves it behind only Accolade, Treasury Wine Estates, Gallo, Pernod Ricard, Australian Vintage, Casella and Concha y Toro, and it is growing a lot faster than any of its rivals, so it will soon be challenging the top five if it maintains that rate.
Robin Copestick and Paul Murray founded Copestick Murray in 2005 and it is now fully owned by German firm Henkell. In the past year, it has enjoyed off-trade sales growth of 44% to reach £73 million, making it the 10th largest branded wine supplier in the UK. Freixenet UK's sales have grown 42% in the past year to hit £41 million.
Henkell purchased a controlling stake in Freixenet earlier this year, creating the world's largest sparkling wine producer when the deal was finalised on August 1. Freixenet UK and Copestick Murray have since worked on a merger and they will move into a new office in Newbury, Berkshire. Freixenet-Copestick will open a separate company in the Republic of Ireland to manage its rapidly growing business in both Northern Ireland and the Republic.
Copestick and Freixenet UK managing director Damian Clarke will serve as joint managing directors at the combined group, which is abbreviated to FXC Brands. Clarke will be in charge of marketing and finance, while Copestick will look after supplier relationships, future acquisitions, creating new brands and rolling the popular I Heart brand out across the globe. "We are very lucky," says Clarke. "Because of the growth both businesses are showing, we have been able to offer everyone a role, which is quite unusual when you go through a merger.
"It's great to have this opportunity to join with another rapidly growing UK wine business. Copestick Murray has complementary skills to Freixenet, but shares our approach of putting the consumer at the heart of what we do. Our combined business will be a leader in the sparkling wine category and with the resources and backing of Henkell and Freixenet we are well placed to continue driving category growth.
"It's exciting times, coming into this with both businesses growing so rapidly. Carrying a lot of momentum into a merger is a great thing – 2019 will be collectively and for all the brands the biggest year of marketing investment ever. We are increasing the resources on a global basis too."
The core of the business will be its three flagship sparkling wine brands: Freixenet, I Heart and Mionetto, the world's bestselling Prosecco.
Freixenet was originally a cava producer but it moved into Prosecco in May 2017 and it has enjoyed great success in the category. Freixenet is now the UK off-trade's largest sparkling brand, with sales up 49% in the past year (IRI), putting it ahead of Moët & Chandon and Canti. I Heart is fourth in the chart and Mionetto is 14th, sandwiched between Laurent-Perrier and Tesco's Louis Delaunay Champagne. I Heart wine, including still and sparkling, is now worth £75 million in the off-trade, making it the 13th largest brand, in between Jacob's Creek and Lindemans. Sales are up 42% year on year, making it the fastest-growing brand in the top 20.
Copestick began his career in the wine trade selling Freixenet Cordon Negro for Moreno Wines in the 1980s. "My life has now gone full circle," he says. "Freixenet is a strong brand, and people have got to know Copestick Murray in the past 13 years as an innovative supplier, so the feeling was to keep the two strong brands in the name."
He and Clarke have a shared responsibility for the group and he believes the division of labour will suit both their skill sets. On a global basis, half of Freixenet's wine is still as it has 18 wineries spread across Priorat, Rioja, Ribero del Duero, Argentina, California, France and Australia. Copestick will work on bringing more of them into the UK, with a particular focus on independent wine merchants.
"The core of the business is growing, but we are also becoming a more diverse company," he says. "It will be my job to integrate the higher-value wines, find more wineries to work with and create new brands.
"We don't want to be a one-dimensional, supermarket-led wine company. We have got some really good brands, but also some fantastic small-volume wines to sell."
In recent times Copestick Murray purchased the likes of distributor Free Run Wines and online retailer Slurp in an effort to diversify its offering. Sales are growing rapidly and turnover for Copestick Murray is forecast to hit £70 million in 2018. It will merge with Freixenet UK on the first day of 2019 and the combined group is expected to enjoy a turnover of £100 million next year.
"Prosecco is slowing down, but I Heart and Freixenet don't show any signs of slowing down," says Copestick. "We have the three strongest Prosecco brands on the market, and Prosecco will stay really popular. Cava could compete really well on price and quality. It's just a different style."
A lot of Freixenet UK's growth has come from Prosecco, but Clarke also believes cava can play an important role for the group going forward. "I would hope cava forms a part of people's repertoire," he says.
New product development has been key to both firms' growth recently, with recent innovations including Freixenet Prosecco and Italian sparkling rosé, plus I Heart Champagne and wine in cans. The group has promised a continued pipeline of NPD and says that 2019 looks set to be an exciting year.
"The Freixenet brand and the excellence of the Freixenet team will be a great addition to what we have achieved at Copestick Murray," says Copestick. "The future is looking very bright."

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) Dallas Keuchel is proud to have won the Cy Young Award. Houston's ace won't be satisfied until he leads the Astros to a championship.
After a surprising playoff run last season, the Astros aren't going to sneak up on anyone in 2016. They return most of the team that went 86-76 to reach the postseason for the first time since 2005.
That success, Keuchel said, was important in the Astros re-establishing themselves as a team to contend with after a dismal stretch that included three straight 100-loss seasons from 2011-13.
With the foundation set and a plethora of young talent, Keuchel believes the Astros are poised to win a title.
The 28-year-old Keuchel returns to lead the team after a year where he led the American league with a season-high 20 wins and had a 2.48 ERA in 33 starts to become the first Astro to win a Cy Young since Roger Clemens won it in the National League in 2004.
Keuchel, who pitched three complete games last season, picked up his second straight Gold Glove Award for his work in 2015. That success won't change his personal goals.
Still, manager A.J. Hinch said he nonetheless tries to impress upon Keuchel the importance of not relying too much on what happened in 2015.
Things have changed a lot for Keuchel, who was named Houston's opening day starter on Feb. 20 - nearly a month earlier than last year. Hinch has seen an increased maturity and development in his ace since he took over the team before last season - and he is still challenging him to do more.
The Astros are bringing Keuchel along a bit slower than their other starters this spring after he pitched a MLB-leading 232 innings and 14 more in the playoffs in 2015. He won't play until Houston's second week of spring training games. Despite the later start, Keuchel still expects to appear in five games this spring, which he believes will get him exactly where he wants to be for when Houston opens the season against the New York Yankees on April 4.
Keuchel isn't worried about the amount of innings he piled up last season, 46 more than his previous career high.

Marmon Aerospace & Defense
TFMoran is providing civil/site engineering, structural engineering, surveying, landscape architecture, stormwater monitoring, construction administration, and permitting services for Marmon Aerospace & Defense's new manufacturing facility in Hooksett, New Hampshire at the former site of Legends Golf. The approximately 80,000sf building will house a state-of-the-art manufacturing operation and is expected to be complete by Fall 2023.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 21, attendees included NH Governor Chris Sununu, representatives of Marmon Holdings, and TFMoran Principal Nick Golon.
TFMoran is working closely with General Contractor Flynn Construction and their Site Contractor, SADCO – Site Development to meet the aggressive schedule required for delivery of the building.
The Union Leader published an article covering the groundbreaking event, continue reading below.
Construction Starts on new Marmon Aerospace & Defense Facility in Hooksett
By Jonathan Phelps, New Hampshire Union Leader
Workers at Marmon Aerospace & Defense got to shoot golf balls from the former Legends Golf driving range as contractors prepared the site of the company's new $30 million light industrial/manufacturing facility Thursday morning.
The workers and guests were on hand for a groundbreaking ceremony at the 18 Legends Drive property, which the company expects to expand on in the future.
The 80,000-square-foot building will allow the company to make large power cables used by the U.S. Navy on aircraft carriers, destroyers and guided-missile cruisers. Only one other supplier makes the products with wait times of up to 100 weeks, said Bruce Belanger, vice president of operations for Marmon Aerospace & Defense.
"We have a reputation of having a shorter lead time and the Navy will see product much quicker and sooner, especially in situations where they really need the product," Belanger said.
The property is also poised for further expansion down the road for Marmon, which is a Berkshire Hathaway company. The company has other locations on Hayward Street in Manchester and Naples, Fla.
President Robert Canny told the crowd of more than 100 the project took about a year to plan. The building is expected to be completed in the fall of 2023. About 20 high-skilled production staff will work out of the facility, he said.
"This will complement our current product line, which includes data, instrumentation, control, and communications cables for the Navy," Canny said.
Part of the driving range and a mini-golf course will remain as a perk for employees. That is until more land is needed for expansion.
Jared Argyle, group president of parent company Marmon Holdings, Inc., looked at other sites, including some in other states.
"You can look around and see we have a lot of land left," he said. "This is Phase 1. We hope to continue to grow this site."
Gov. Chris Sununu mentioned the state's 2% unemployment rate, the lowest in 46 years of record-keeping.
"When you talk about high-tech manufacturing, that is what we do here. This is the No. 1 driver in the state that is driving the No. 1 economy in the country," he said. "You guys are it."
He said the unemployment rate is more than just having a robust workforce in the state.
"What it really means is we are growing like crazy," he said.
Argyle praised the workers of the company's three plants who help the company outpace its competition.
"I look forward to the day when we take a little bit more of that driving range and turn it into factory," he said. "I look forward to the day when all we have is the little mini-golf that I can actually play."

US military steps up focus on Africa
Striking Islamist militants with drones, supporting African forces in stabilizing Somalia and Mali and deploying dozens of training teams, the U.S. military has returned to Africa.
Its presence remains mostly low key, barely mentioned in the context of President Barack Obama's visit this week to Africa.
Nevertheless, with some 4,000-5,000 personnel on the ground at any given time, the United States now has more troops in Africa than at any point since itsSomalia intervention two decades ago. That ended in humiliation and withdrawal after the 1993 "Blackhawk Down" debacle in which 18 U.S. soldiers died.
There are two main reasons behind the build up: to counter al Qaeda and other militant groups, and to win influence in a continent that could become an increasingly important destination for American trade and investment as China's presence grows in Africa.
Obama's eight-day trip is heavily focused not on military issues but on trade and economic development in visits to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania.
In the Horn of Africa, the vast majority of U.S. forces deployed in Africa are at a major French military base in Djibouti, a tiny country sandwiched between northern Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea.
While U.S. officials will not comment in detail on what happens at the base, experts say it has provided a staging post for occasional special forces deployments and drone and air attacks against Islamist militant targets in Somalia.
Dramatic as those actions are, smaller U.S. operations and outreach programs often with only a handful of troops are key to the strategy of winning influence in a continent where China has surpassed the United States as the No.1 trade partner and has huge mining, energy and infrastructure investments.
Such limited missions, U.S. officers say, have gone a long way to reducing initial African skepticism over Germany-based AFRICOM, set up in 2008 to bring all U.S. military activity in Africa under one unified command, rather than dividing responsibility between commanders in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
"We are focusing on building human capital," says Major General Charles Hooper, head of strategy and plans at AFRICOM. "The smaller missions can be some of the most effective when it comes to gaining trust."
In Angola, Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo and elsewhere, U.S. engineers have helped train local counterparts in landmine clearance. In southern Africa, military medics have helped local armies tackle HIV infection while in Mauritania, the focus has been on veterinary aid to local ranchers.
U.S. warships combating piracy off both East and West Africa are increasingly frequent visitors to local ports.
One U.S. aim is to convince African militaries their interests are best served by remaining democratically accountable and not interfering in politics.
Some operations, however, have hit just that problem. The hunt in Central African Republic for Ugandan warlord and head of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army Joseph Kony has largely been suspended following a March coup in CAR.
The anti-LRA mission had been the only one in Africain which combat troops were deployed, involving just over 100 U.S. special forces personnel. U.S. forces continue to train Ugandan and other armies as part of that operation.
Kicked out of Morocco, active in Somalia
Critics in Africa complain Washington's approach to the continent has become increasingly militarized and focused on counterterrorism. Others worry U.S. military clout may ultimately be used to seize resources.
Administration officials disagree and point to Obama's visit as evidence of U.S. intentions.
"This trip ultimately disproves the notion that we're somehow securitizing the relationship with Africa," Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told a conference call last week. "This trip is expressly devoted to trade and investment, democratic institution-building, young people and unleashing economic growth through some of our development priority."
In general, U.S. forces have only been able to operate when African governments - or sometimes France, which maintains a network of bases in former colonies - allow them to.
Permission can be quickly withdrawn for political reasons.
In April, Morocco canceled its annual Exercise African Lion with U.S. forces after a suggestion from Washington that U.N. monitors in the disputed Western Sahara region should extend their mandate to include human rights.
The United States still treads carefully in Somalia, the scene of a serious reverse in 1993 when militia fighters killed 18 Americans on a mission to capture a Somali warlord in support of a U.N. mission.
U.S. officials say there are often one or two U.S. liaison officers deployed inside Somalia helping African Union forces fight Islamist group al Shabaab - which is linked to al Qaeda - on behalf of Somalia's transitional government.
Most of the U.S. support for the African Union mission AMISOM remains outside the country, training forces in Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere.
It is a similar picture on the other side of the continent, where the U.S. military is also acting primarily in support of local nations and France.
The aftermath of the 2011 Libya war has seen a flood of weapons and militants across the Sahel, fueling the rise of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb which briefly captured much of northern Mali before a French offensive there earlier this year.
The U.S. Air Force provided much of the transport for both African and French reinforcements in Mali, while U.S. air tankers from RAF Mildenhall in England have flown long missions over the Sahara refueling French combat jets.
Some 100 U.S. personnel deployed to Niger to set up a drone base. Unlike in East Africa, however, the drones will be unarmed and used only for reconnaissance to track Islamist militants.
U.S. and African officials say Washington has long been reluctant to share its most sophisticated intelligence with African partners, in part over worries it might fall into the wrong hands.
African officers say that if they are to be truly effective at fighting militants in their own countries and as part of broader Mali-type missions, they need to know as much as possible about rebel movements, locations and plans.
"The Americans are our friends - but often they are friends who are not frank," says former Senegalese army chief Mansour Seck, also an ex-ambassador to Washington. "They have a tendency to ask you what you have but will not tell you what they have."

Cat cafés have become incredibly popular over the last few years and are popping up around the world. But how about a cat cinema? A London couple is raising funds to open Great Kitten, a place where guests can enjoy a movie while cuddling up with a cat. They plan to adopt 10 homeless cats who are known to enjoy the presence of humans and who will be free to roam around the cinema. They also plan to raise awareness of cat welfare and will also work with charities to provide "cat therapy" for people suffering with mental health problems, learning difficulties or life-threatening illnesses. You can read more about this exciting venture on the London Evening Standard website.
If you missed any of the stories featured on The Conscious Cat this week, here's a recap: on Monday, we reported on a new study that found that music may benefit cats during surgery, on Tuesday, we introduced you to Lil BUB's new book, on Wednesday, we explored what your cat's odor can tell you about possible health issues, and on Friday, we reviewed Fit Cat by Arden Moore. And don't forget to order your Limited Edition Tortitude T-Shirt – these shirts are only available through April 28!
Today's video features a very curious kitty. If you think your cats would enjoy this kitty piggy bank, or if you just want a fun way to save your change, it's available from Amazon.
What a great idea. I am sure they will be busy. Cute video.
Oh my goodness! That kitty bank is so cute!
I hope they will adopt more than ten cats. This place will be popular and everyone will want their own cat to cuddle with.

NEC delivers LTE-Advanced compatible high-capacity base station equipment to NTT DOCOMO
*** For immediate use February 5, 2015
Tokyo, February 5, 2015 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced that it has delivered commercial versions of high-capacity base station equipment that support the LTE-Advanced next-generation communications system to NTT DOCOMO, INC. (DOCOMO). In February 2013, NEC was one of the vendors selected by DOCOMO for the development and manufacturing of high-capacity base station equipment. The equipment will be used for DOCOMO's LTE-Advanced services that are scheduled to launch during Fiscal 2014 (the year ending March 31, 2015).
Using carrier aggregation technology that drastically improves communication speeds by bundling data at different frequency bands, a maximum downlink of 225Mbps will be achieved by the LTE-Advanced system. In addition, when used in combination with the Small Cell Radio Equipment, or SRE, which was developed at the same time and optimized for small cell communications, the equipment will be the first to support the advanced C-RAN architecture advocated by DOCOMO, ensuring that stable, high-speed data communications and expanded wireless capacity is achieved, even in areas slowed by congested traffic.
High-capacity base station equipment serve as the base station control units (primary stations) of remotely configured base stations. They connect with cells (secondary stations) of different sizes, such as micro cells and small cells, through the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), a new network architecture promoted by DOCOMO, and house a maximum of 48 units. The arbitrary cell frequencies housed by the primary station are bundled to enable carrier aggregation, which allows for high speed communications to be further accelerated to achieve a maximum throughput of 3Gbps. Moreover, when functions are improved in the future, the upgrades can be handled through software updates, offering exceptional ease of maintenance.
"The advanced C-RAN architecture being promoted by DOCOMO increases not only data throughput by utilizing carrier aggregation technologies but also increases radio network capacity without any degradation of service quality by coordinating between macro-cells that cover a wide area and small cells that cover local areas working for radio network capacity. This technology marks an important contribution to the further evolution of LTE and to the realization for future 5G," said Mr. Seizo Onoe, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, DOCOMO. "NEC's equipment is playing a significant role in the realization of advanced C-RAN architecture and the commercial launch of Category 6 Carrier Aggregation data communication services exceeding 225 Mbps planned for March 2015."
"We are very pleased that NEC has delivered high-capacity base station equipment to DOCOMO and is contributing to the early realization of DOCOMO's LTE-Advanced services," said Mr. Shunichiro Tejima, Executive Vice President, NEC. "We regard the advanced C-RAN that this high-capacity base station equipment makes possible as an important milestone towards achieving future 5G technologies."
NEC focuses on wireless broadband as one of the key fields in its telecom carrier business, and by supporting DOCOMO's LTE mobile service Xi(R) with total solutions, it has helped expand widespread adoption of the service. Looking ahead, NEC will continue to bolster its partnership with DOCOMO and contribute to the upgrading and expansion of its network.
Moving forward, NEC will continue to further boost communication speeds and develop more sophisticated service features, thereby contributing to the development of services provided by telecom carriers.

Exponential Growth for STD's in Iowa and They Don't Know Why
Just Joni
Iowa Department of Public Health isn't sure why STD's are increasing at alarming rates.
In the information age, there's more education and awareness about the spread of sexually transmitted diseases than we've ever had before. Education=Awareness=Action. Or does it?
According to the statistics in Iowa, it doesn't. Especially when it comes to syphilis.
KWQC.com reports,
"In Iowa, the number of S.T.I.'s has been growing exponentially over the last ten years. Syphilis the infection with the largest change: a 370% increase since 2008."
Symptoms can start with a single spot that's treated with a cream and can go away quickly. However, a rash on hands and feet can develop later, which still means you could infect another person. Many do not recognize that as one of many symptoms related to an STD.
One suspected reason for the rise in STD's could be that there is no longer access to resources provided to the public due to the shut down of facilities that offer free services .
After all those awkward sex ed classes in grade school and junior high, safe sex is still the way to go, according to Mary Costello from the Iowa Department of Public Health.
"The best way to prevent yourself from getting infected is by using protection every time you have sexual contact with someone else."
Contact your local or state's health department to find a clinic near you to get tested every 6-12 months unless you are with one partner.
