World Health & Population, 14(1) October 2012: 3-4.doi:10.12927/whp.2012.23098
John E. Paul
This issue of World Health & Population presents three research papers and a commentary that should be of great interest to our readers. The original papers have all been published online by WHP during the last quarter and are selected here as representative of recent outstanding contributions to the journal.
The first paper in this issue, "Knowledge of Termination of Pregnancy (TOP) Legislation and Attitudes toward TOP Clinical Training among Medical Students Attending Two South African Universities" by Wheeler, Zullig and colleagues presents results from robust surveys of knowledge and attitudes among medical students regarding the progressive South African TOP (i.e., abortion) legislation. Respondents were also asked for a self-assessment of their preparation and training to provide TOP services. Typically, surveys that measure knowledge and attitudes also measure practice, thus the classic KAP model. For medical students however, practice is in the future, and current knowledge and attitudes hopefully can be seen as predictors of practice. The researchers found knowledge of the South African TOP legislation was very high; however, confidence in the adequacy of their training and preparation was considerably lower. Attitudes toward TOP overall varied by a number of demographic categories of medical students, including religion, sexual experience, and relationship history. The authors recommend ongoing assessment and adjustment of medical school curricula in order to best meet the needs for providing TOP services for the South African populations.
Social economic status (SES) is a critical covariate for nearly all multivariable studies in healthcare. SES is notoriously hard to define and measure and a variety of proxies have been used over the years, including household income, household possessions, type of residence, educational level of householders and household expenditures, among others. In "Household Expenditures as a Measure of Socioeconomic Status among Iraqis Displaced in Jordan and Syria" Cope, Doocy and colleagues present an interesting methodological study to validate the use of household expenditures (HE) as a proxy for measuring SES among refugee populations. HE has been used as a successful proxy among settled populations; however its research acceptability among populations displaced and stressed by war and destruction has not been looked at. Cope, Doocy and colleagues conducted cross sectional surveys in the two countries that have received the largest refugee influx from Iraq and found the HE can be used reliability as a proxy for SES in certain situations. They have conducted very solid foundational research in this area; however, more work clearly needs to be done on methods for measuring this important construct among difficult research populations.
The third paper tackles an understanding of changes in condom use in Uganda, reflecting, in part, changing attitudes toward the HIV epidemic and changing prevention policy and national campaigns. In "Trends and Determinants of Condom Use in Uganda," authors Zaake De Conick and Gaetano Marroone present an analysis of Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS) data documenting a fall in the prevalence of condom use between two waves of the survey, 1995-2000/2001 and 2000/2001-2006. These time periods coincided with two significant changes in the HIV landscape in Uganda: the widening availability of antiretroviral drugs and a lessening of the nationwide "ABC" (Abstinence, Be faithful, use Condoms) campaign. Also likely affecting the downturn in condom use reflected in the surveys was an unfortunate nationwide recall of defective condoms. De Conick and Marrone conclude that policy changes and further education among women and rural populations in particular are needed if condom use is to regain its previous level and role in HIV prevention programs in Uganda.
The final paper in this issue "Engaging Men in Family Planning Services" by Rebecka Lundgren and colleagues is a commentary on the importance of involving men in family planning activities, in particular through a fertility awareness approach called the Standard Days Method©. Through a series of four country vignettes, the authors, all from Georgetown University (Washington, DC, US), present the case for involving men in understanding fertility awareness in order to broaden the traditional female-centred paradigm of family planning. The authors also posit that taking a couple-centred approach to family planning will result in higher likelihood of success for other, more conventional and interventional family planning approaches and a greater sensitivity by both partners toward critical sexual and reproductive health topics, including intimate partner violence, HIV, sexuality and partner communication.
In conclusion, we hope that you find the papers in this issue interesting and worthwhile, and that you will also consult others recently released online at www.worldhealthandpopulation.com. WHP remains committed to its mission to provide a forum for researchers and policy makers worldwide to publish and disseminate health- and population-related research, and to encourage applied research and policy analysis from diverse global and resource-constrained settings. WHP is indexed on MEDLINE and is accessible through PubMed.
We look forward to continued enthusiastic submission of manuscripts for consideration, peer review and publication. Finally, the editors and publishers of WHP are always interested in any comments or suggestions you might have on the papers or about the journal and our mission. Please feel free to write or email us.

Pros and Cons of Private eBay Listings
Getty Images for eBay / Getty Images
Ever stumble across an eBay listing that didn't let you see its list of previous bidders? Or feedback containing items that you couldn't view? Both of these result from private listings, which allow eBay sellers to keep these things from public view using a simple listing upgrade on the selling form.
It probably rings a bell. There are a lot of private listings on eBay, even if they're not the majority. But how does a seller go about listing this way, and why do they do these things? What does it mean for you?
How to Create Private Listings as a Seller
It's easy to create a private listing on eBay and results in no extra fees. Here's how:
Begin the selling process just as you normally would.
On the selling form, scroll down to the heading marked "Choose how you'd like to sell your item" where you'll also find the price and quantity options.
Click the link labeled "Add or remove options" that is just to the right of this heading.
Check the box labeled "Private listing" in the pop-up window that appears, and click "Save" to close it again.
Complete the rest of your listing just as you normally would.
That's all there is to it—the listing you've just posted is private. In practice, this means simply that:
Buyers won't be able to see who else has bid on or purchased through this listing as they would.
Links to this listing won't be available in anyone's feedback as positives or negatives are left—though the feedback evaluations themselves will remain visible.
Reasons to Use Private Listings
Despite what eBay lore often says, there are legitimate reasons why a seller might find that private listings help them serve their customers and do better business:
Sensitive goods are involved. There are some types of goods that aren't things buyers want everyone to know about. It can mean adult goods, which is where imagination immediately goes, but it can also mean things like medical goods of various kinds. If you're a seller of goods that are sensitive in nature, you may find that your sales—and the amount of feedback that you receive from them—increase as you make listings private.
It's gift-giving season, or you're selling "gifty" goods. When people shop eBay for gifts, they're not likely to want their purchases to be publicly viewable—though they often haven't thought about this beforehand. In some cases, it can be a competitive advantage to make gift-oriented listings private, then include a blurb in your item description explaining that you're protecting the buyer's privacy so that their gift is a surprise.
You sell to other eBayers or online sellers. If you're a lot seller or a part of the sourcing chain for other eBay sellers, they'll be happier and more loyal to you if you don't show other eBay shoppers that they could have bought the same item(s) for much less money.
You don't want the competition to watch you. Though sellers can get good research through products like Terapeak, there's no reason to make it easy for others to simply comb through your feedback for recent sales and outcomes if you find yourself in a highly competitive selling area.
Private Listings Versus Private Feedback
Sometimes eBayers are confused by the differences between private feedback and private listings, with the stigma associated with one coming to affect peoples' impressions of the other.
Private feedback hides a member's entire feedback profile. When an eBay member's feedback is private, no one can see what others have said about them at all, positive or negative.
Private listings simply hide associations. When a listing is private, it simply becomes impossible to link a particular eBay member to a particular listing, since their bids are hidden and there is no link in feedback to the item. Members' evaluations of one another in feedback, however, are still viewable.
Private feedback usually indicates a troubled eBay account with too many negatives—though even this isn't always the case. For example, a buyer who has purchased a sensitive item from a non-private listing may choose to make their feedback private for a time for similar reasons to those given above.

Q: MVC response view not displayed by browser I have an ASP.NET MVC application that works fine most of the time. Occasionally, users complain that they submit an action request and the application appears to hang (i.e. no response is received by the browser even after several minutes and eventually the browser times out.)  I can see from HttpWatch that the request is being submitted, IIS logs show the server receiving the request and the application logs show the request action being invoked and completing normally.  HttpWatch gives an error which is usually 'ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_RESET' or 'NS_ERROR_NET_RESET'.
The application also does a number of Ajax requests to the same server which all appear to function normally - the 'hang' situation only occurs on full HTTP page loads (i.e. not Ajax requests.)
At first I thought this was browser related, but it happens both with IE8 and IE9 and with FireFox 17, which may be the reason for the two different error messages posted above.c
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Faculty voice: Learning a language can create diverse perspective
Rajiv Ranjan, an assistant professor of Hindi-Urdu in the Department of Linguistics, Languages, and Cultures at Michigan State University, is part of the Asian Studies Program and the Master of Arts in Foreign Language Teaching Program. Through the MAFLT, he teaches summer courses to graduate students pursuing specialized training in language teaching. Currently, he is writing an Urdu textbook and mentoring seven MSU textbook authors of other less commonly taught languages. This faculty voice was adapted from the College of Arts and Letters.
Global and cultural literacy today are important for many reasons. These things help build global acceptance, compassion, and understanding, which yields friendship and collaboration. It helps us be ready to understand, face, and to overcome the world's increasingly global challenges.
We've seen with the COVID-19 pandemic how many of the world's issues are not restricted by cultural or geographic boundaries. Over the following decades, challenges such as climate change will require a global perspective and multicultural understanding. Global and cultural literacy also helps us see the same world through different linguistic and cultural lenses and better experience and understand the greater human community. This knowledge helps us become global citizens and to be able to work and live beyond borders.
When I reflect on my own life, I cannot even imagine how much has changed from living in rural India to becoming a teacher at Michigan State University. I am among the first generation in my family with a university education. Coming to America was not even a dream until one of my teachers in India said I was not cut out for America. That was my motivation in some ways.
I was born in a rural part of northern India and moved to a more urban area to finish high school. In my state, there were no colleges or universities that offered programs of study in Linguistics, so I moved to Delhi where I received a Master of Arts in Linguistics. After earning my MA degree, I moved to Hyderabad, a major city in the southern part of India, to pursue a Master of Philosophy in Linguistics.
In 2010, I was accepted into the Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant program at the University of Iowa where I also completed my Doctor of Philosophy in Second Language Acquisition. In 2015, I started teaching at Michigan State University as an Assistant Professor of Hindi Language.
Language teaching is one of the loves of my life. Growing up in a multilingual society in India, I did not realize the importance of knowing multiple languages. In India, it is common for people to know at least three languages. That said, my English language learning really exposed me to the challenges of foreign/second language acquisition. I began learning English because it is considered a language of prestige in South Asia, and it is a common belief in South Asia that to become successful one must learn English.
It is important for students to learn additional languages in the present moment. Given that English is a global language, many people around the world learn English in addition to their native languages. I feel that native English speakers who do not learn additional languages miss a great opportunity to experience diverse perspectives through which they can view the world.
If the adage is true that literature is the mirror of society and language is a building block of literature, learning a language adds an additional lens to see the world and helps to build a more tolerant and compassionate society. It also provides tangible professional benefits. For example, multilingual medical doctors or computer engineers can connect with their colleagues better than monolinguals. This enhanced ability to connect can advance their professional aspirations.
My top goal in life is to have my culture represented in the country of my work. There are several misperceptions about South Asian culture and languages. For example, political boundaries are not linguistic and cultural boundaries. Urdu is a national language of Pakistan but there are more Urdu speakers in India compared to Pakistan. Punjabi is considered a language of India but there are more Punjabi speakers in Pakistan compared to India. Culturally, one of the Indian states, West Bengal, is closer to Bangladesh in comparison to other states of India. Even though South Asia is linguistically very diverse, it is home to the largest English-speaking population in the world.
Rajiv Ranjan (second row, second from the right) and Dean Chris Long (second row, on the right) with the 2019 Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant cohort.
One cannot really say any one thing about South Asia without being both correct and incorrect at the same time. There are several nuances in South Asian cultures and languages. South Asia has a multi-language, multicultural, multi-philosophy of life, multi-religion, multi-family system, multi-form of government, multi-everything. It is very complex, which makes it incredibly exciting and beautiful. I think of South Asia as a beautiful garden with an extraordinary variety of flowers. There are no words in any language to describe how vibrant South Asia is.
Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month is important to celebrate the successes and recognize the ongoing struggles of APIDA immigrants and those of APIDA heritage in America. It's been said that America is moving from the "melting pot" view of diversity to more of a "salad bowl." In this paradigm shift, it is important to highlight the many immigrant communities and celebrate their contributions to American society while also examining and thinking critically about what more can be done to create an equitable society for all members.
America is a country of immigrants, and if we do not value our immigrants, then we are not in a position to fully experience America as a land of opportunity and success.

A Book Lover's Guide to Literary Columbus
By Jennifer Poleon on Jun 04, 2018
Be inspired by local and national authors and explore the cozy nooks of independent bookstores in some of Columbus' most charming, and upcoming neighborhoods.
Thurber House, the boyhood home of author, humorist and former New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber has been the center for literary life in Columbus for more than 30 years. Thurber was known for his self-deprecating humor, a tradition the center carries on with an annual humor prize. Past winners have included David Sedaris, Ian Frazier, Jon Stewart, the editors of The Onion, and this year's winner, The Daily Show host Trevor Noah. During the summer, Thurber House hosts literary picnics on their lawn (bring your own or order a picnic with your ticket). Don't miss Columbus author Scott Woods on July 11 when he reads work from Harlem Renaissance writers as part of the city's celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Harlem Renaissance. During the rest of the year, Thurber House's Evenings with Authors series is held at nearby Columbus Museum of Art.
Poetry lovers can check out several Open Mic nights throughout the week including the Poetry Forum at Bossy Grrls Pinup Joint in Olde North Columbus on Mondays (the longest running poetry series in Columbus); Writing Wrongs Poetry Slam (every other Tuesday) at Mikey's Late Night Slice on 4th St downtown; and Writer's Block Poetry Night at Kafe Kerouac in Olde North Columbus on Wednesdays (co-founded by Columbus poet and author Scott Woods - it's a bit like a roast meets poetry).
The consolidation of big chain bookstores has provided a boon to independent bookstores around the country, and that includes Columbus. Two newcomers on the scene have quickly become destinations for book lovers.
On the near east side neighborhood of Bexley, Gramercy Books is like the bookshelves of that well-read, well-informed friend: perfectly curated whether you are interested in the latest blockbuster political tell-all, a self-help book on giving a Ted talk or a collection of past Pulitzer Prize-winning books. Throughout the month Gramercy also hosts a book club, book launches, and author talks.
Since launching last fall on Columbus' south side, Two Dollar Radio has become a hub for authors, activists, and artists. The independent bookstore/café/publishing house was launched by Brett Gregory, and husband and wife team Eric Obenauf and Eliza Wood-Obenauf, the duo behind the publishing arm of Two Dollar Radio. Since 2005, the publishing house has launched more than 60 books including They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Columbus native Hanif Abdurraqib, named one of the best books of 2017 by NPR, Esquire, Paste Magazine and the Chicago Tribune. Pick up a copy of Abdurraqib's book along with other Two Dollar Radio books, as well as, books from other indie publishers. The south side bookstore and café also hosts author talks, comedy and poetry nights, and pop-up vegan brunches on Sundays.
Get lost in 32 rooms of books in the Book Loft in Columbus' German Village neighborhood. Each room of the longstanding bookstore has its own soundtrack from Celtic music for fiction to Horst's The Planets for SciFi/Fantasy. There's pretty much a room for every interest including a room focused on books about Ohio or by Ohio authors.

Sometimes, you just can't shake that craving for junk food. I'm a huge believer that once in awhile, you should just indulge a bit and enjoy, then go back to your usual healthy eating. Let's be realistic-we can't all be eating quinoa and kale all the time!
If you're going to indulge in junk, you should at least make sure it's the best junk possible, and I don't mean the junk that's most full of the grossest ingredients you can find. Be a bit demanding and get high quality junk food!
Unjunk Your Junk Food is a great resource for this. Packed with lots of information about undesireable ingredients, what to look for when you are reading labels, trivia, healthy eating tips, best of and worst of in common junk food categories, Unjunk Your Junk Food is an interesting read. With lots of tidbits spread throughout the pages, it's a handy little resource with all sorts of good information.
The only drawback with this book, (yes-I could only find one) is that the products listed are in the USA. The ingredients may vary from country to country, so not every choice according to Unjunk may be valid for the same products in Canada. I would, however, find this very handy if we went on a road trip to the USA because now I'd know what treats would be the best choice after all. Despite this, the other information and trivia still stands and makes for an interesting read. I've learned a lot about various additives, preservatives and junk in my food in a quick and easy read!
Surprisingly (at least to me), the book includes tips on how to curb your cravings for junk food and choose healthy snacks, shopping seasonally, and how much exercise will burn off those chocolate chip cookies.
Knowledge is power! Unjunk is a good tool to deciphering the code of those food labels.
Disclosure: I wasn't paid to write this review, but I was sent a copy of Unjunk to read.

Serbia Sells 2.0 Bln Dinars (21.3 Mln Euro) in 6-mo T-bills
Author Vera Ovanin
Sep 04, 2009 11:25 EEST
September 4 (SeeNews) - Serbia's Finance Ministry on Thursday sold out its 2.0 billion dinar ($30.6 million/21.3 million euro) offer of six-month Treasury bills, it said.
The average accepted price in the auction was equal to 94% of par and the accepted interest rate was 12.05%, the ministry said in a statement posted on its website late on Thursday.
The ministry sold 200,000 T-bills with a nominal value of 10,000 dinars each. The government securities will mature on March 4, 2010.
In the previous auction of six-month T-bills held on August 27 the ministry also sold its entire offer of 2.0 billion dinars worth of government securities at an annual interest rate of 12.13%.
Serbia holds scheduled auctions of six-month T-bills every week on Thursdays and of three-month T-bills on Tuesdays. It held its debut auction of 12-month T-bills last week.
The next auctions of three-month and six-month T-bills will be held on September 8 and September 10, respectively.

Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte: Extraction of network topology from multi-electrode recordings: is there a small-world effect?
Title: Extraction of network topology from multi-electrode recordings: is there a small-world effect?
Portuguese Abstract: The simultaneous recording of the activity of many neurons poses challenges for multivariate data analysis. Here, we propose a general scheme of reconstruction of the functional network from spike train recordings. Effective, causal interactions are estimated by fitting generalized linear models on the neural responses, incorporating effects of the neurons' self-history, of input from other neurons in the recorded network and of modulation by an external stimulus. The coupling terms arising from synaptic input can be transformed by thresholding into a binary connectivity matrix which is directed. Each link between two neurons represents a causal influence from one neuron to the other, given the observation of all other neurons from the population. The resulting graph is analyzed with respect to small-world and scale-free properties using quantitative measures for directed networks. Such graph-theoretic analyses have been performed on many complex dynamic networks, including the connectivity structure between different brain areas. Only few studies have attempted to look at the structure of cortical neural networks on the level of individual neurons. Here, using multi-electrode recordings from the visual system of the awake monkey, we find that cortical networks lack scale-free behavior, but show a small, but significant small-world structure. Assuming a simple distance-dependent probabilistic wiring between neurons, we find that this connectivity structure can account for all of the networks' observed small-world‑ness. Moreover, for multi-electrode recordings the sampling of neurons is not uniform across the population. We show that the small-world-ness obtained by such a localized sub-sampling overestimates the strength of the true small-world structure of the network. This bias is likely to be present in all previous experiments based on multi-electrode recordings.

Ovillers WWI war cemetery
Ovillers la Boisselle, France (FR)
On 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, the 8th Division attacked Ovillers and the 34th Division La Boisselle. The villages were not captured, but ground was won between them and to the south of La Boisselle. On 4 July, the 19th (Western) Division cleared La Boisselle and on 7 July the 12th (Eastern) and 25th Divisions gained part of Ovillers, the village being cleared by the 48th (South Midland) Division on 17 July. The two villages were lost during the German advance in March 1918, but they were retaken on the following 24 August by the 38th (Welsh) Division. Ovillers Military Cemetery was begun before the capture of Ovillers, as a battle cemetery behind a dressing station. It was used until March 1917, by which time it contained 143 graves, about half the present Plot I. The cemetery was increased after the Armistice when Commonwealth and French graves where brought in, mainly from the battlefields of Pozieres, Ovillers, La Boisselle and Contalmaison. Casualty Details: UK 3268, Canada 95, Australia 57, New Zealand 6, South Africa 13, France 120, Total Burials: 3559 The Cemetery contains 3,439 burials of soldiers and sailors from the UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and France. Of these 2,479 are unidentified but there are special memorials to 24 casualties believed to be buried among them. Other special memorials record the names of 35 casualties, buried in Mash Valley Cemetery, whose graves were destroyed in later fighting. The cemetery also contains 120 French war graves. The cemetery was initially a battle cemetery behind a dressing station until March 1917. After the war graves from surrounding areas were concentrated here

Redevelopment reboot in Collier County
An important part of an area's growth and development is redevelopment.
Redevelopment reboot in Collier County An important part of an area's growth and development is redevelopment. Check out this story on naplesnews.com: https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/archive/2018/07/25/breaking-ground-newsletter-redevelopment-reboot-collier-county/838946002/
Naples Daily News staff Published 11:01 p.m. ET July 25, 2018 | Updated 11:15 p.m. ET July 25, 2018
The Sea Shell Motel at 82 Ninth St. in downtown Naples has closed and been sold for redevelopment.(Photo: Naples Daily News)Buy Photo
After many years of wear and tear, some structures or businesses lose their usefulness or maybe just haven't kept up with the changing times. Sometimes the owner or a new owner just has a different idea for land use. Unless the buildings are historically significant, sometimes a good reboot is in order.
These renovation projects are a boost to the economy and usually improve the local landscape when completed. A redevelopment project requires architects, engineers, planners, surveyors, builders, electricians, plumbers, designers, demolition crews, attorneys and many more jobs behind the scenes.
Sometimes, though, redevelopment hits a chord with folks who lament the loss of "the good ol' days." We all have childhood memories that we wish could be forever bolstered by the existence of a particular house, street, school, restaurant or whatever.
It's still odd to drive by the site of the former Naples Daily News offices on Central Avenue and see an open field after the decades-old building was razed. And now a new condominium project is sprouting up on that 9-acre open field.
On the flip side, the spanking new newspaper offices (now 9 years old) in North Naples are much more useful than the former building that had outgrown its usefulness and worn out its welcome because of time and city zoning limitations.
Motel shell
The recent news about the redevelopment of the Sea Shell Motel in Naples strikes a chord for many. Its postcard look is a throwback to a simpler, less-stressful time from when it was built 70 years ago.
Retail will be the future of the former 30-room motel on that less than an acre. "More shopping? We have enough stores," was the general reaction from many folks lamenting the loss of another local landmark. In response, we'll await what redevelopers promise will be "something that's new and fresh to the area."
The new owner of the property is Brookline Cos., a privately held real estate firm that bought it for $4.9 million. In the last couple of years, Clearwater-based Brookline has invested more than $31 million in Naples for property on and near Fifth Avenue South that it plans to redevelop. Those projects are still in the works. Of course, we'll eventually take a closer look at those projects.
More redevelopment
Two other redevelopment plans spotlighted this week don't have the emotional baggage of an old motel. You won't keep a postcard of an old car dealership or supermarket.
Of course, someone somewhere will have fond memories of buying their first car at that dealership. Someone else may never forget their first job as a bagger at that grocery store.
But you won't see protesters lying on the ground in front of bulldozers as these old businesses are razed or gutted. Changes aren't permanent, but change is – or so we've heard.
Demolition was to begin this week on the old Germain Honda site on Davis Boulevard in East Naples. It's destined to be a new BMW dealership. Two 24-year-old buildings on that 5-acre lot will be leveled to make way for a new more than 27,000-square-foot dealership.
These luxury car dealers keep upping their game with posh, state-of-the-art dealerships, so we anticipate something special. We're waiting for a car dealership to eventually have its own space needle with a revolving restaurant atop it. When cars fly.
In another local project that will soon see fruition, Aldi is putting finishing touches on its second grocery store in Collier County. The store opens Aug. 9 in Countryside Shoppes on the southwest corner of Santa Barbara Boulevard and Radio Road.
Not only is this project notable because it's another East Naples improvement, but it helps fill one of those Sweetbay supermarkets that have been sitting vacant for more than five years. Of course, Aldi took less than half of the old supermarket, so a more than 28,000-square-foot space remains. But it's a good start.
Oh, and you can start making new memories at Aldi by bagging your own groceries. Ah, the good ol' days.
Next door to the new Aldi is 6,000 square feet left behind from an old Blockbuster Video store. It's the perfect location to rewind with a local restaurant. The redevelopment opportunities are endless.

A couple who had just moved into a house that they had renovated the interior of the home. They wanted a number of services done on the exterior of their home now. They wanted a new concrete driveway as well as extensive work in the backyard. They called us first as we were referred to them by one of their friends who had work done to their home with us. Before we could give the couple an estimate we asked to meet with them at their home, so we could see what kind of work they wanted done in their backyard and for their concrete driveway.
We met with the couple the next day. They showed us their current driveway and what they wanted to have done. We then looked over the backyard, and we offered several different options including a concrete patio, paver patio and concrete steps. We gave the couple the estimate and they both agreed it was a great price. They wanted us to start first thing Monday morning. Our crew arrived promptly on time at the beginning of the following week.
The crew started removing the current driveway. Once it was removed the crew started working on the base. We then added edge restraints anchored by spikes, so there wouldn't be any shift. The crew worked on the concrete driveway until it was finished, then they started working on the paver patio and concrete steps. Although this was a big project, we were able to get the job done on time and on budget. Each evening the couple would look at the work that we had done and they both complimented the crew for doing a good job.
When we had each project completed for the homeowners, the crew cleaned up all the tools and equipment and let the couple know that we were finished. The couple said the work we had done was phenomenal. The both agreed that our company was the expert in Minneapolis concrete driveways that homeowners could depend on and trust for quality craftsmanship and skilled work. The wife said she was so happy that their friends recommended us, because we went that extra mile to get the job done on budget. She was really happy with how everything turned out, and that our knowledgeable concrete contractors gave them options and solutions that were better than what they were looking to have done in the first place.

Source: 'Gravity' Scores Nov. 20 China Release Date
12:34 AM PDT 10/16/2013 by Clifford Coonan
"Gravity"
Approval in the world's second-biggest film market should give the space epic a major overseas boost.
Alfonso Cuaron's space epic Gravity will get a much-coveted screening in China, the world's second-biggest market by box office, on Nov. 20, an industry source in China has told The Hollywood Reporter.
The news marks a big boost for Gravity, which features Sandra Bullock and George Clooney and has already notched up stellar box-office earnings of $123.4 million worldwide.
PHOTOS: Top 10: Sandra Bullock's 'Gravity' Tour
It had been unclear if the movie would get a Chinese release because the quota of 34 movies for the year is nearly full. Also, films celebrating U.S. achievements in space might have been viewed as American propaganda in China, which is currently building its own space program.
However, it is understood that the fact that the movie is broadly sympathetic to China -- Bullock's character finds refuge in a Chinese ship, and there is recognition of China's technological prowess throughout -- helped secure it vital Film Bureau approval. THR's industry source said the release date came in a note from the distributor, China Film Distribution.
The long delay between its U.S. release and its China release does mean that many potential viewers will already have seen pirated versions of the movie, either on DVD or as downloads.
However, the fact the space drama is a strong 3D performer should ensure a robust box-office return in China, where 3D and enhanced formats have driven the country's box-office bonanza -- of the 13,118 screens in China at the end of last year, 72 percent were 3D screens.
PHOTOS: It's Lonely Out Here: 'Gravity' and 10 More Films About Isolation
The movie should go down well in China, which is enthusiastic about anything to do with interstellar travel, as the country's own space program has been promoted heavily in the state press.
Hollywood remains increasingly keen to get a slice of the booming Chinese market, which was worth some $2.75 billion last year and is expected to match U.S. box-office receipts by 2018 -- and double them by 2023.
The biggest foreign earner to date is Avatar, which took $220 million in 2010, while other big overseas hits include the third installment of the Transformers franchise, Dark of the Moon, which grossed $165 million in China in 2011 out of $1.1 billion worldwide.
China first launched a man into space in 2003, followed by a two-man mission in 2005 and a three-man trip in 2008, which featured the country's first space walk, making it the third nation after Russia and the United States to achieve manned space travel independently.

Religious Leaders Seek Formal UN Recognition
by Maxine Dovere

In a show of extraordinary good faith, an ecumenical coalition of rabbis, priests, imams, ministers, and layman of many faiths and denominations gathered at the United Nations in New York to develop an initiative that would involve persons of faith – clergy and laypeople – in the decision making process of the UN.
Sponsored by the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Global Ethics and co-hosted by the Pastor Enoch Adebayo, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the mission of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the United Nations, working under the UN's Alliance of Civilizations, the summit, held June 20, brought together leaders in the the Abrahamic faith groups, to an international conference held under multi-national patronage and "notably, King Mohammed VI of Morocco."
Keynote addresses presented by The Grand Mufti of Bosnia Herzegovina, Dr. Mustafa Ceric and The Chief Rabbi of Geneva, Yitzhak Dayan, focused on the shared values of people of faith, noting coincidences of history shared by all members of the Abrahamic faiths. Chief Rabbi Dayan, who recently participated in the Conference of European Rabbis (CER is an internationally recognized NGO, a non government organization) and met with Jewish religious leaders from 40 countries. That conference, as did the June 20 event, is seeking a United Nations initiative to internationally guarantee "protection of all religious sites as an integral part of any Middle East peace." At the New York meeting, he joined the Grand Mufti of Bosnia Herzegovina, Dr. Mustafa Ceric, and Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, and Dr. Elie Abadie to discuss "The Road Map to a Culture of Peace in the Middle East."
The formal presentations made throughout the event were of significant importance; the personal interchanges between and among participants were noteworthy. In informal conversation, the Grand Mufti recalled his visit to Auschwitz, noting that he had gone from one whose understanding of humanity's capability of inhuman behavior had been starkly awakened when his own people were victims of genocide. "The Jewish people understood," he said. "The Jews recognized what was happening before anyone else."
The US Treasury Department's top sanctions official on a trip to Turkey and the Middle East next week will warn...
Calling on the UN to assure the protection of the religious sites of all faiths…and to adopt into practice the relevant global ethics specified in international declarations and UN resolutions, the conference hopes to develop a culture of peace, dialogue among civilizations. With the guidance of Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Catholic religious leaders, the conference proposes the creation of a dialogue among civilizations, to "serve as an inspiration." With the significant particpation of young clergy – Christian, Jewish and Muslim – in the delegations, the message of respect and regard of one for the other, no matter what his or her observance platform may be, appears likely to be translated to the current (and next) generation of involved religious leaders and people.
The level of directness and frankness among this diverse cadre of multi-faith, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-gender, and multi-generation participants promoted a climate of intelligence and hope. Cooperation was conspicuous: when language appeared to present a barrier, informal translators undertook the assistance of their colleagues, assuring that concepts and ideas were understood by all. Whether from Geneva, Istanbul, the Emirates, New York, or New Haven, participants actively joined together in their quest for increased respect and understanding of the "other".
During his presentation, New York Rabbi Elie Abadie discussed the issue of the need for the United Nations as part of the Quartet, to recognize the rights of the Jewish people as indigenous to the land of Israel. The rights of indigenous people are protected by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People which was endorsed by the General Assembly in 2007. Though no formal resolution was promulgated, no objections were raised; in fact, outright support of the rights of the Jewish people to their land, based on his interpretation of the Koran was voiced by Dr. Oktar Babuna, a Turkish neurosurgeon, conference delegate, and Muslim. Establishment of this declaration would have wide consequenced, not be limited to historical reference, but could have significant impact on contemporary politics.
The conference concluded with a festive diner at the Edmund J. Safra Synagogue where the menu paid homage to the "comfort foods" enjoyed by many of the guests. An extravagant array of Middle Eastern hor d'oeveres preceded a dinner that could have graced any Shabbat table, topped with a fine selection of New York style pastries. Speaker of the evening Daisy Feisel, was warmly welcomed as she discussed the evolution of the Muslim community's quest to build as Islamic Center in lower Manhattan. Her vision is to transform a project that was met with controversy and hate into one that will be a prime example of the application of good faith and cooperation.
The leadership of persons of good faith willing and able to direct their congregants towards positive, respectful acceptance of differences and the right to practice such differences is a precious resource.

Mr Astorri, Bio-on has recently presented its new technology, Minerv Biorecovery, which enables hydrocarbon sea pollution to be eliminated within approximately three weeks. How does this technology work?
Bio-on is offering the world and the market the technology to take effective, natural and ecological action in the event of environmental disasters such as oil spills into the sea, opening up unprecedented scenarios for environmental recovery and bioremediation of hydrocarbon pollution (oil-bioremediation): sea water polluted by oil is cleaned within 3 weeks.
We have discovered that the particles forming our PHAs bioplastic are the ideal environment for hosting and feeding the special microorganisms that eliminate oil from the sea.
Minerv Biorecovery is a technological solution made of micro powders, measuring just a few microns and of a particular shape, created out of Bio-on's revolutionary PHAs bioplastic. The particles of these micro powders are thrown into polluted seawaters and form a porous structure housing a series of bacteria naturally present in the marine environment which, fed by the bioplastic, multiply and grow stronger until they metabolise the oil. PHA bioplastic, which is fully bio-based, helps to protect and feed these bacteria, thus accelerating their natural action.
The biodegradation processes activate within approximately 5 days and the degradable fraction of the hydrocarbons (e.g. oil) is eliminated in approximately 20 days. The micro powders in Minerv Biorecovery are 100% biodegradable and therefore do not release any residue into the sea unlike many solutions used to date in these cases. The biodegradation process for PHAs powder is sufficiently slow (1-2 months depending on conditions) to allow the bioremediation action of the microorganisms, which, after having eliminated the pollutants, return to normal levels in the marine environment.
Bio-on has successfully developed the technology in collaboration and through the validation testing of Istituto per l'Ambiente Marino Costiero del CNR (Institute for Marine Coast Environment of the National Research Council – IAMC-CNR) in Messina, Italy. Tests on Minerv Biorecovery have been on-going for several months at IAMC-CNR in Messina, which has tested, measured and validated the technology. Minerv Biorecovery, like all the PHAs bioplastics (polyhydroxyalkanoates) developed by Bio-on is made from renewable plant sources with no competition with food supply chains.
Is it correct to define Bio-on as a technology provider company?
Bio-on is an Intellectual Property company and supplies technologies to produce or use Polyhydroxyalkanoates-(PHAs) through licenses that restrict rights to a particular territory or to a specific business area. Bio-on grants licenses for the construction of production facilities and works with leading engineering companies all around the world. Bio-on is in the position to manage and provide to its costumers a consolidated, reliable and reproducible technology in the industrial production of PHAs using as raw materials different substrates, including, but not limited to, co-products of sugar beet and sugar cane production (juices, crude syrups, molasses, etc.), different plant oils, potatoes and starch treatment side-streams, crude glycerol from bio-diesel production and many others.
Bio-on, in the frame of its research and development activities, is continuously improving the PHAs' production technologies and, wherever possible, the optimization of yields, specific consumptions of utilities and auxiliary materials, consistently with the up to dated technological improvements. Furthermore, Bio-on offers to its customers research activities about the development of technologies for the production of PHA from fermentation of different carbon sources.
Not least Bio-on realizes applied research projects directed to plastics users intending to replace traditional plastics with biodegradable ones, in this case Bio-on is able to characterize ad hoc products, even in fields of high range and engineering plastics.
Bio-on has more than ten years of experience in research activities for the development and demonstration of an innovative technology for the production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) valorising different wastes, co- and by-products from both agricultural and agro-industrial productions as raw materials. Its "Mission" is to contribute to the protection of ecosystems and natural resources management in an integrated approach, environmentally, economically, socially, technically sustainable.
Last March you laid the first stone in a new plant that will produce Minerv Bio Cosmetics, the microbeads in PHAs special bioplastic designed for the cosmetics sector and destined to replace the microscopic particles (microbeads) made from oil-based, non-biodegradable plastic now used in many cosmetics products. Could you explain something more about this investment?
The official publication of a new USA law, which prevents the use of oil-based polymers in body care products and particularly the category defined as "exfoliants" by the Obama administration, generates an enormous opportunity for the platform products generated by Bio-on (PHAs), as well as its particular applications, as is the case with the new patent for the beauty products sector called Minerv PHA Bio Cosmetics.
The stance taken by the USA against the plastics that in nano and micrometric dimensions form polluting microbeads is aimed exclusively at the "conventional" polymers widely used in cosmetics, as stated in the law: polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), nylon, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP). Oil-based polymers not compostable in the environment not only pollute by their very presence but also increase pollution due to the prolonged periods that they persist in the water and soil. We believe that the only choice capable of producing real change is to use bioplastic microbeads. It is for Bio-on a unique opportunity to propose to the cosmetics industry a solution to safeguard the environment without reducing the performance and effectiveness of their products. Minerv Bio Cosmetics, by using bio-based PHAs, guarantees a relatively short persistence of PHA in water and soil and the derivatives of bacterial aggression are biocompatible, broken down by the bacterial component into molecules and metabolites useful to the environment as nutrients for microorganisms.
This is why the company decided to implement a new production plant dedicated solely to special PHAs production for advanced niche products in rapid development and not in competition with the large-scale plants licensed by Bio-on around the world for PHAs output from 5,000 to 10,000 tons per year. This new plant based in Castel San Pietro Terme in the province of Bologna has 3,700 covered sq m, 6,000 sq m land for development and a total area 30,000 sq m and will require an investment of around Euro 15 Mln. The plant has a capacity of 1,000 tons per year rapidly expandable to 2,000 tons per year, and it is equipped with the most modern technologies and the most advanced research and development laboratories. PHAs. The new line of Minerv bio cosmetics products is now available for finalising their use in myriad cosmetics applications. Our research and development team has developed an intense product development schedule for the 2016-2020 period, in part thanks to the replacement of the polymer particles used today in toothpaste, shampoo, exfoliants (those cited in the USA law), face make-up, tanning and sun creams and many other cosmetics products.
One of the key themes tackled in the new Italian bioeconomy strategy is that of information and dissemination of the bioeconomy, on which the European Commission is also focusing. What needs to be done to engage with public opinion?
Bio-on does not think that the bioeconomy should be particularly pushed or supported by national strategies in order to assert itself. According to the market data available but also hearing at consumers' needs and requirements, the bioeconomy is already a reality, it is not something we can avoid and, even if some hurdles should be still overcome, the implementation of biorefineries for the production of different bioproducts and biomaterials is the future. What is more than needed now are significant industrial investments.
Surely, what should be clearly understood by European countries is that there is not anymore any advantage in sustain traditional production systems based on linear process 'production-consumption-waste'. It is necessary to make a step forward to more circular processes where wastes and co-products of already existing production systems could become raw materials of innovative industrial processes, obtaining added values, reducing emissions and requiring as less oil as possible.
The PHA production system developed, demonstrated and scaled up by Bio-on is a clear example of such approach: agro-industrial wastes and co-products are used to feed natural fermentation for the production of bioplastic fully natural and 100% biodegradable.
From your point of view what measures should the government introduce in the very short term to promote full development of the Italian bioeconomy?
I think the Italian government have already done a lot to support the Italian bioeconomy and I believe Italian firms should now walk with their own legs without thinking too much at the national support tools beside those already available and already really effective. I am thinking, as an example, to the big R&D projects funded by MISE (Minister of Economic Development, editor's note) for the sustainable industries.
As previously mentioned the bioeconomy is a full reality and we are now in a crucial moment for the whole society in terms of economy, civil and social choices, aspects that go also beyond government measures. I am a strong supporter of the Italian bioeconomy for the excellent results so far achieved by the different actors on the field and for the capacity of the technicians operating in the country, now it is the time to decide if Italy would like to be the locomotive of such a great revolution or just another player, one of the several wagons.
With some courage by its industrial players and key investors Italy could really bring a new industrial revolution.

Lincoln Renewable Energy Signs Power Sales Contracts for 37.5MW of California Solar Projects
Lincoln Renewable Energy (LRE) today announced it has entered into 20-year power sales agreements with Southern California Edison (SCE) to deliver electricity from its Marathon (25MW dc) and the neighboring Agincourt (12.5MW dc) solar power plants. Both projects are located in San Bernardino County, Calif., and will go into construction in 2013.
"With its huge solar resources, California represents an enormous opportunity for solar power developers and customers alike," said Declan Flanagan LRE CEO. "California customers will benefit from the low-cost, fixed-price, clean and native energy these two projects will produce for decades to come."
Flanagan added, "Building on the success of our New Jersey Oak Solar project earlier this year, LRE is now one of the very few large-scale solar companies with a successful track record coast-to-coast."
When completed, the combined California solar projects – the 25-megawatt DC Marathon and the 12.5-megawatt Agincourt – will deploy more than 150,000 solar panels and produce enough electricity annually to power 14,000 households. Only four projects operating in the U.S. today are larger.
"2013 is shaping up as a busy year for LRE. In addition to $100 million of capex on our solar projects, multiple wind projects are ready to execute power contracts and enter construction if Congress extends the Production Tax Credit as soon as possible," Flanagan said.
LRE has more than 400 megawatts of solar projects in mid- and late-stage development in California and more than 1,000 megawatts of solar in development across the U.S. as well as more than 1,000 megawatts of wind power projects. Founded in 2009, the company has raised more than $100 million in external financing to fund its growth and is developing more than 30 solar and wind projects in 11 states managed from offices in Chicago, Austin, and Denver.
