Arab Spring Fails to Improve U.S. Image
Chapter 2. Protests in the Middle East
The popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia and other Middle Eastern countries captured the attention of publics both inside and outside the region. Impressive majorities in Arab countries report following news about the political demonstrations. Turks also paid close attention to the uprisings. Indonesians and Pakistanis, however, focused less on the dramatic political changes.
Most people say they were excited by the popular protests, although opinion varies as to whether the demonstrations will lead to more democracy in the Middle East. Neighboring Arab publics are optimistic on this count, while people in other Muslim countries are less certain. Most Israelis have also followed events in Egypt and elsewhere, but have mixed views on whether the political protests will encourage greater democracy in the region.
Public Reaction to the Protests
Majorities in Arab countries say they were riveted by the political demonstrations in their region. Overwhelming numbers of Jordanians (98%), Egyptians (96%), Palestinians (94%), and Lebanese (86%), for instance, report following news about the uprisings.
Outside the Arab world, 78% of Turks say they followed news about events in countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain and Libya. However, in Muslim countries farther afield, fewer report tracking the region's political upheaval. Only 41% of Indonesians say they followed news about the political protests that erupted in Egypt and elsewhere, while just 11% of Pakistanis report focusing on the unrest sweeping the Middle East (half of Pakistanis do not answer whether they followed events or not).
Among those who followed news about the political demonstrations, excitement was commonplace. Large majorities in Lebanon (83%) and the Palestinian territories (84%) report being excited, including 58% and 40%, respectively, who say they were very excited. In Jordan, more than seven-in-ten (72%) were generally excited by the protests, with about a third (34%) saying they were very excited.
In Muslim countries outside the Middle East, the political demonstrations in Egypt and elsewhere also elicited excitement. More than seven-in-ten Turks (73%) who tracked developments in the region say they were excited by the demonstrations, with nearly four-in-ten (39%) saying they were very excited. Among the relatively small number of Pakistanis who tuned into the dramatic news from the Middle East, the reaction was similar: 74% were excited by events, with half that number (37%) very excited. Among Indonesians following events in the Arab world, 60% say they were excited by the popular uprisings, but only 23% describe being very excited.
Impact of the Protests
Arab publics are generally optimistic about the impact of the political demonstrations in Egypt and elsewhere. Clear majorities in Jordan (73%), the Palestinian territories (73%) and Lebanon (71%) believe the protests will lead to greater democracy in the Middle East.
Egyptians are also upbeat. Asked specifically about the future of their country, a majority of Egyptians (57%) say they are optimistic. And though only 41% say it is very likely that the next election will be free and fair, fully 71% say democracy is preferable to any other system of government. (For a more detailed analysis of Egyptians' views about their country's future, see "Egyptians Embrace Revolt Leaders, Religious Parties and Military, As Well," released April 25, 2011.)
Beyond the Arab world, publics in Muslim countries are more circumspect about the long-term impact of the popular uprisings. Just over a third of Turks (36%) believe the protests will lead to greater democracy in the Middle East, compared with a plurality (46%) who are doubtful. Nearly one-in-five (18%) are unsure about the impact of the protests.
In Indonesia, the public is evenly split as to the legacy of the political demonstrations: 37% believe the protests will lead to more democracy in the Middle East, while 36% disagree. Roughly a quarter (27%) of Indonesians say they do not know. Among Pakistanis, just 12% say the recent demonstrations are a step toward more democracy in the region, compared with 23% who are skeptical. Almost two-thirds of Pakistanis (66%) offer no opinion as to whether the protests will strengthen democracy in the Arab world.
View From Israel
Like their Arab neighbors, many Israelis have paid attention to recent events in the Middle East. Overall, 71% say they have followed news about the political demonstrations in countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, and Libya. Among Israeli Arabs, over nine-in-ten (93%) say they followed the popular protests, while 68% of Israeli Jews report focusing on recent events in the region.
Among Israelis who followed the dramatic events in Egypt and elsewhere, 58% say they were excited by the political protests, but only 21% describe being very excited. Roughly twice as many Israeli Arabs (40%) as Jews (18%) report being very excited.
Overall, Israelis are evenly divided about the legacy of the popular uprisings: 43% think the political demonstrations will expand democracy in the region, while the same percentage disagrees. However, Israeli Arabs are much more optimistic, with fully 70% believing the protests will lead to more democracy. Just 39% of Israeli Jews share this view.

Our winery is located in the heart of Lujan de Cuyo, precisely in the district of Las Compuertas. This is one of the regions with rich tradition and antiquity for the production of high-quality wines in Argentina. From here, the first Malbec of Argentina were made. This micro region is in the processes of reassessing the value of its prized centennial vines.
Built in 1959, the traditional Mendocina winery was equipped with epoxy-lined concrete vats providing a holding capacity of 700,000 liters. Since the 2008 purchase of the winery, known as Bodega Maza, we have expanded capacity.
The facade of the original winery has been conserved; however the interior was renovated and equipped with advanced technology to ensure each procedure is processed with high quality. Concrete eggs, stainless steel tanks, fudres and oak barrels, collectively provide a capacity of 2 million liters. We are still expanding the winery to support growth, adding technology and providing better experiences for those whom visit us.
Double selection table, a rolling crusher, a vibrating selection table, heat exchangers and cooling equipment, hot water tanks, pneumatic press, low-pressure revolving pumps are just a few of the machines with which our enological team operates. Angelina, Natalia and Gabriel, under the leadership of Hector and Pablo Durigutti represent the professional operations team.
Our wines reflect a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, artesian selection of grapes, manual pump-overs, punch-downs, native yeasts, temperature controls, hot and cold soak maceration, hydraulic presses and steel tanks, where traditional techniques are accompanied with modern technology.

What Would You Ask President Bush?
If this president had been given a truth serum and you had one chance to ask him any question in a broadcast press conference what would it be?
I might have have a few other ideas, but what would you ask him?
Let me state right off that I am an Obama supporter, and I believe Bush is the worst president in American history.
Bush honestly thinks he's in the right. The conservative view is that Congress is "big government" and that executive power should be absolute. They believe the Constitution is something that should be shaped, molded, into what's best for the country – today.
If I were Helen Thomas, I'd ask Bush how he sleeps at night knowing his lies have lead to the deaths of over four thousand American troops and who knows how many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.
Mr. Bush, how do you honestly expect anyone to believe executive privilege extends to anyone you've ever talked to outside of the press?
Or, Do you think the office of the President of the United States is beholden to the American people?

The call for teacher improvement has recently moved into the realm of policy with the implementation of Race to the Top. RTTT challenged states to raise the bar of teacher effectiveness through the implementation of more rigorous evaluation procedures, which are tied in part to student achievement. Tennessee was one of the first states to implement this type of teacher evaluation policy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine teacher perception and to explore the role of the teacher in policy implementation and the relationship to instructional decision making in the classroom. Results point to the complexity of instructional change and the pivotal role of the administrator in facilitating that change.

Good design and fine craftsmanship are hallmarks of the jewelry created by artists of the Wiener Werkstatte. Architect Josef Hoffmann was something of a jack-of-all-trades in his ability to work in many areas of design, architecture, and craft. His beautifully-wrought jewelry is featured on 10 banners from the Neue Galerie. The original Hoffmann brooch fetched 66,000 euros (USD 85,000) at auction - the banners offer a much more affordable alternative.
Wary of the Industrial Revolution and fearful that it would lead to a world filled with poor quality machine-made junk, many 19th century artists formed groups to advance the cause of handcrafted work by skilled artisans. From this concept, the British Arts & Crafts movement was born, and similar ideological movements in other countries followed suit from the American Craftsmen to Germany's Deutscher Werkbund to Art Nouveau in France. In Austria, a group of artists in Vienna spawned the Wiener Werkstatte. The group included Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, and Josef Hoffmann among others.
This group of architects, artists, and designers were exploring the idea of the gesamtkunstwerk, or "complete work of art". This cohesive approach to art sought to unify the fine and decorative arts, and led to designs for buildings and their spaces that involved all elements being designed in unison to create a complete work. Architect Josef Hoffmann was one proponent of this concept, and he pursued it in his commissions for patrons as well as in his work with the Weiner Werkstatte. His interest in all facets of artistry led him to design jewelry as well.
This banner features two brooches designed by Hoffmann in the early 1900s. The top brooch is from 1907 and shows a stylized, multi-color piece wrought from silver and a variety of semi-precious stones including agate, coral, lapis lazuli, malachite, and turquoise. The bottom brooch has an even more modern look rendered simply in blue, gold, and silver. The two brooches, blown up to large scale and shown in intricate detail, are sculptural and dramatic on a black background. The works are as much miniature sculptures as they are luxurious objects for personal adornment.
Below the images, white text reads "Wiener Werkstatte Jewelry/March 27-June 30, 2008" and the museum's name and logo, "Neue Galerie/Museum of German and Austrian Art/New York". Both sides of this banner are identical.
These banners were displayed around New York City from March 27– June 30, 2008 to promote the Wiener Werkstatte Jewelry exhibition at the Neue Galerie.


About Hansen Price: Diminished Value Specialist If the world was perfect, motor accidents would not be there since all people would be driving vehicles carefully. Even if the accidents occurs, the cars should be repaired, and they initial market value bestow on them. Now that the world is imperfect, there are car accidents happening each day. To make things worse, the value of the car happens to reduce whenever it is involved in a car accident. Even after the vehicles have been perfectly repaired, the initial value is not restored. Exactly, why this is the case, is explained by different reasons. However, the underlying fact is that a car accident results in loss of value which is referred to as the diminished value. To understand the diminished value clearly, compare to vehicle models bought the same day, covered the same mileage and due care has been ensured. Consider that one of the vehicles have been damaged in a motor accident. The car is then delivered to the auto body shop, and it is repaired using the parts that were specified by the manufacturer. Now look at the other side where the owners of both cars decides to sell them in a single day. Do you think that buyers are ready to pay the same amount for the two vehicles. Facts are that the car not involved in the car crash has a higher value than the one involved in the car accident. The difference between the values of these cars is what represents the diminished value. Something that is of importance is to learn what makes one car be compensated for a higher diminished value than the other. If you use the manufacturer specified part for the repairs, you will get a higher DV value. Ensure that you give the best repair for your vehicle after the accident. This value should not be let down the drains. Follow the insurance company to ensure that the insurance firm settle the DV so that you can resume your former status.

Excessive force used by PA security during rally under investigation
Sept. 19, 2015 10:06 A.M. (Updated: Sept. 20, 2015 10:01 A.M.)
Image grab from Middle East Eye of PA forces beating a Palestinian teenager during a rally in Bethlehem on Sept. 18, 2015.
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) – Palestinian Authority security forces on Friday forcibly dispersed a peaceful rally in the Azza Refugee Camp in Bethlehem in support of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, sparking uproar among residents against the excessive use force by PA security against its own citizens.
A video went viral on social media revealing a group of PA security officers violently attacking a teenage boy with clubs during the clashes.
Dozens of young men from the Duheisha Refugee Camp south of Bethlehem also demonstrated in the area's main road later in the evening after PA forces arrested two teenage boys for partaking in the Al-Aqsa rally near the Azza camp.
A spokesman for the PA's security forces, Adnan Dmeiri, told Ma'an that the attack on Palestinian protesters was "completely unacceptable as it is against Palestinian laws."
"Appropriate punishment will be taken against all officers who used violence against Palestinian citizens," Dmeiri added.
Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah has reportedly appointed a committee headed by the governor of Bethlehem Jibrin al-Bakri to investigate the events in Azza.
Hamdallah said: "What happened in the camp does not reflect the policy of the Palestinian government, or the Palestinian security forces."
The PM attributed Friday's incidents to individual behavior of the officers involved which he "strongly rejected" and said will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
Nidal Abu Dukhan, commander of the Palestinian national security forces -- a branch of PA security -- on Friday evening created a special committee to investigate the attack, a spokesman of the national security forces told Ma'an.
Dukhan's spokesperson, Hafith al-Rifa'I, said that Dukhan had appointed the committee to be led by Salahiddin al-Sharif, head of a department which observes and monitors the performance of national security officers.
"Strict punishment will be taken against those who attacked Palestinian citizens and the ones who gave the orders," al-Rifa'l said, adding that the punishment could include discharging officers.
Rifa'I said that the commander of national security forces "apologized to the teenager and his family, denouncing the attack."
"This uncommon behavior doesn't reflect the policy of Palestinian national security, and it's the first of its kind since four years," he said.
A delegation representing the national security forces is expected to arrive in Bethlehem on Saturday to apologize to the teenager and his family, and offer "whatever the teenager needs."
PA security collaboration with Israel
Friday's incidents comes as Palestinians and political factions have criticized the PA for continuing security coordination with Israeli authorities.
PA and Israeli security forces have worked in coordination since the Oslo Accords in 1993, which planned for a gradual power transfer of the occupied West Bank from Israeli forces to the PA over the next five years.
Over 10 years on critics frequently accuse the PA of aligning with and carrying out Israel's interests and goals in the occupied West Bank.
Disproportionate use of force by PA security forces as well as lack of effective due process by Palestinian legal bodies has been reported by Palestinians in the past.
Dmeiri told Ma'an that in areas under full Palestinian control -- Area A according to Oslo Accords -- Palestinian security officers are instructed to prevent Palestinians from approaching so-called seam zones "to protect them from Israeli occupation forces," but the spokesperson did not elaborate on coordination with Israeli forces.
The PA security spokesperson told Ma'an that justice would be reached for the teenager who was violently beaten on Friday, citing that in 2014 PA security officers were punished by imprisonment and disciplinary service after they were found guilty of using violence against Palestinian citizens.
The Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) confirmed that "excessive force" had been used against protesters Friday.
"It was an evident use of excessive force against a peaceful gathering during which participants were attacked with stun grenades and rods," director of the group's office in the southern West Bank Farid al-Atrash told Ma'an.
He urged the PA to investigate the attacks and is currently collecting complaints from those who were attacked during the rally.
"As a Palestinian, I say that the president should immediately apologize to our people in the Azza Refugee Camp and should give orders to call to account those who gave the orders."
"This shameful farce must be stopped," added al-Atrash.

While they are at it, could they please also investigate and publicly report exactly how many members of Hamas, PFLP, and Islamic Jihad have been detained or pulled in for questioning by the PA since January 01, 2014 - and their fates?
Colin Wright / USA
Clubs? Clubs? Heck, this is Palestine. Israel has used machine guns, tank cannon, and helicopter-launched missiles on peaceful demonstrators.
@ Legal / USA
None of that matters, a bit, since Suffering, Injuries, and Detention Are the Only "Fruits of the Resistance", while Palestinian Statehood, or anything positive, is Not, regardless of which police force you confront !!
Brian Cohen / Israel
Let's investigate why Australians support Hamas IJ and PFLP - all of them self-declared terrorist organizations that commit war crimes. There must be Australian laws that will punish "illegal eagles" who support terrorism.

L.E.? The article goes very long on apologies and while that's nice? Where's the money to...lift these people out of poverty? That apology goes on long with no resolution. Where's the money?

Farid al Atrash works for the ICHR? Does Abdel Halim Hafez work for Ma'an? or Um Kalthoum work for Al Haq?

Dem gov backs gas tax increase
by Keith Laing - 01/06/16 12:03 PM ET
Greg Nash
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) is backing a proposal to increase his state's 17.3 cents per gallon gas tax by 1.5 cents to help pay for transportation projects, The Associated Press reports.
The new Missouri fuel levy would be collected on top of an 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax that fills the federal government's transportation funding coffers.
The American Petroleum Institute says the increase will bring the total taxes that drivers in Missouri are charged at the pump to about 37 cents per gallon.
{mosads}Nixon said at press conference on Tuesday that he is supporting a bill in the Missouri Legislature to increase the state's tax on gas by 1.5 cents and diesel by 3.5 cents, according to the report.
Missouri is the latest state to move to increase its own gas taxes in recent years as Congress has resisted hiking the federal tax. Six states implemented such hikes on July 1 of last year.
Transportation advocates had pushed lawmakers to increase the federal gas tax during a debate about a multiyear highway funding bill last year, but lawmakers adopted instead to turn to other areas of federal budget to pay for a five-year, $305 billion highway bill instead of asking drivers to pay more at the pump.
Supporters of increasing the gas tax pointing to the willingness of states like Missouri to raise their own fuel levies as evidence that a national hike would be politically palatable this year.
Conservative groups in Washington have made clear that they would consider a federal increase to be a tax hike, however, and Republican lawmakers ruled it out even as they were searching for ways to pay for a new highway bill.
The national gas tax has been the traditional source of transportation funding since its inception in the 1930s. The tax has not been increased since 1993, however, and improved fuel efficiency has sapped its purchasing power.
The federal government typically spends about $50 billion per year on transportation projects, but the gas tax only brings in approximately $34 billion annually at its current rate.
Lawmakers turned to other areas of the federal budgets to close the $16 billion per year gap last year, but transportation advocates have said the federal gas tax will have to eventually be increased or replaced with a more sustainable funding source to keep pace with rising costs for infrastructure projects.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has projected that it will take about $100 billion, in addition to the annual gas tax receipts, to pay for a six-year transportation funding bill.
The recently completely highway bill lasts for five years.

Q: Insert a row into a dataframe based on values in another dataframe I want to insert a row into a dataframe based on values in another dataframe. I have attempted to reproduce my problem in a simple way.
I have two dataframes df1 and df2.
data = [['apple', 'apples'], ['orange', 'oranges'], ['banana', 'bananas'], ['kiwi', 'kiwis']]
df1 = pd.DataFrame(data, columns= ['fruit', 'fruits'])

data_1 = [['apple', 'A'], ['banana', 'B'], ['cherry', 'C'], ['durian', 'D'], ['kiwi', 'K'], ['elderberry', 'E'], ['fig', 'F'], ['orangar', 'O']]
df2 = pd.DataFrame(data_1, columns= ['fruit', 'label'])

The datframes look like this.
df1:
    fruit   fruits
0   apple   apples
1   orange  oranges
2   banana  bananas
3   kiwi    kiwi

df2:
    fruit     label
0   apple       A
1   banana      B
2   cherry      C
3   durian      D
4   kiwi        K
5   elderberry  E
6   fig         F
7   orange      O

Now I want to combine the two datframes based on values in the 'fruit' column.
I have written a nested for loop to achieve my result.
line = pd.DataFrame(columns=['fruit', 'label'])
for i in range(len(df1)):
    for j in range(len(df2)):
        if df1.iloc[i]['fruit'] == df2.iloc[j]['fruit']:
            df2 = df2.append(pd.DataFrame({"fruit": df1.iloc[i]['fruits'], "label": df2.iloc[j]['label']}, index= [j+0.5]))
            df2 = df2.sort_index().reset_index(drop=True)

The result looks like this:
df2:
fruit         label
0   apple       A
1   apples      A
2   banana      B
3   bananas     B
4   cherry      C
5   durian      D
6   kiwi        K
7   kiwis       K
8   elderberry  E
9   fig         F
10  orange      O
11  oranges     O

My original datasets have close to 30,000 values. This makes the nested for loop solution that I have used very slow. Is there a faster and more efficient way to do this?
Thanks

A: Let's do:
# get labels from df2
_df = pd.merge(df1, df2, how='left', on='fruit')

# drop the old fruit column and rename fruits to fruit
_df = _df.drop('fruit', axis=1)
_df = _df.rename({'fruits': 'fruit'}, axis=1)

# concat the 2 dataframes together
df2 = pd.concat([df2, _df])

A: Use merge with left join and then reshape by DataFrame.stack:
df = (df2.merge(df1, on='fruit', how='left')
         .set_index('label')
         .stack()
         .reset_index(level=1, drop=True)
         .reset_index(name='fruit')[['fruit','label']])
print (df)
         fruit label
0        apple     A
1       apples     A
2       banana     B
3      bananas     B
4       cherry     C
5       durian     D
6         kiwi     K
7        kiwis     K
8   elderberry     E
9          fig     F
10     orangar     O

The HR department isn't technical enough to understand that critical & invaluable company data can easily walk out the door (or out the network) any day of the week. There are SO many ways to get data out if you really wanted to. Most companies don't monitor outbound email, they don't control what you copy to a thumb drive, nor can they monitor what you might upload to a website or web-based email account. Those are just 3 that come to my head. Today, Cisco announed the 10 most common ways that data is lost from companies (and how to try to prevent it). Below are the 10 most common ways, you can read more about how to prevent it (from a Cisco networking & security perspective) at their website. Whether you use Cisco equipment or not, you need to consider all of these sources of data loss as they may not all be controlled using a "firewall", let's say.
1.	Altering security settings on computers: One of five employees altered security settings on work devices to bypass IT policy so they could access unauthorized Web sites. This was most common in emerging economies like China and India. When asked why, more than half (52 percent) said they simply wanted to access the site; a third said, "it's no one's business" which sites they access.
2.	Use of unauthorized applications: Seven of 10 IT professionals said employee access of unauthorized applications and Web sites (e.g. unsanctioned social media, music download software, online shopping venues) ultimately resulted in as many as half of their companies' data loss incidents. This belief was most common in countries like the United States (74 percent) and India (79 percent).
3.	Unauthorized network/facility access: In the past year, two of five IT pros dealt with employees accessing unauthorized parts of a network or facility. This was most prevalent in China, where almost two of three respondents encountered this issue. Of those who reported this issue globally, two-thirds encountered multiple incidents in the past year, and 14 percent encountered this issue monthly.
5.	Sharing corporate devices: In a sign that data isn't always in the hands of the right people, almost half of the employees surveyed (44 percent) share work devices with others, such as non-employees, without supervision.
6.	Blurring of work and personal devices, communications: Almost two of three employees admitted using work computers daily for personal use. Activities included music downloads, shopping, banking, blogging, participating in chat groups, and more. Half of the employees use personal email to reach customers and colleagues, but only 40 percent said this is authorized by IT.
7.	Unprotected devices: At least one in three employees leave computers logged on and unlocked when they're away from their desk. These employees also tend to leave laptops on their desks overnight, sometimes without logging off, creating potential theft incidents and access to corporate and personal data.
8.	Storing logins and passwords: One in five employees store system logins and passwords on their computer or write them down and leave them on their desk, in unlocked cabinets, or pasted on their computers. In some countries like China (28 percent), employees reported storing logins and passwords to personal financial accounts on their work devices, leaving their identity and finances at risk. The fact that some employees leave devices unattended magnifies this risk.
9.	Losing portable storage devices: Almost one in four (22 percent) employees carry corporate data on portable storage devices outside of the office. This is most prevalent in China (41 percent) and presents risks when devices are lost or stolen.
10.	Allowing "tailgating" and unsupervised roaming: More than one in five (22 percent) German employees allow non-employees to roam around offices unsupervised. The study average was 13 percent. And 18 percent have allowed unknown individuals to tailgate behind employees into corporate facilities.

Water SA is a multidisciplinary international journal publishing refereed original work on all aspects of water science, technology, engineering and policy. This includes: water resource development; the hydrological cycle; surface hydrology; geohydrology, hydropedology and hydrometeorology; hydraulics; limnology; freshwater and estuarine ecology; salinisation; treatment and management of municipal and industrial water and wastewater; treatment and disposal of sewage sludge; environmental pollution control; environmental and drinking water quality; drinking water treatment; water services, including domestic water supply and sanitation services; agricultural water; aquaculture in terms of its impact on the water resource; water policy and governance; water economics; water as a social good. The primary focus of the journal is on content that is relevant to the needs of Southern Africa (defined for this purpose to include the countries of South Africa, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique), which includes research that is of broad international interest or of particular relevance to the African continent. Submissions of predominantly local interest to a country or region outside of Southern Africa will not be considered.
Contributions may take the form of a research paper, a critical review, a short communication, a rapid communication, a technical note or comments on papers already published. A research paper is a comprehensive contribution to the subject, including introduction, experimental information and discussion of results. (Technical accounts involving application of well-known techniques, and situation assessment/observation/sampling papers reporting results of work not carried out as a research activity, cannot be considered.) A review is an authoritative, critical account of recent and current research in a specific field to which the author has made notable contributions. A short communication is a concise account of new and significant findings to inform readers of preliminary or limited research results. A rapid communication is an original contribution which merits prompt publication to publicise the findings of very recent research with immediate significance. A technical note describes an original process or technique without necessarily including extensive data, theory or critical evaluation. Comments on papers already published are sent to the authors of the paper for reply and both the comments and the authors' reply will be published in the upcoming issue of Water SA. Preference is given to concise contributions.
Manuscripts will be submitted to and assessed by peer reviewers. A single-blind review system is used. The authors' names are included in the manuscript sent for peer review but the reviewers' names are not included on the review reports sent to authors. The evaluation of any manuscript is undertaken with the understanding that neither the substance of the article nor the figures or tables has been published or will be submitted for publication elsewhere during the period of review. Authors bear sole responsibility for the factual accuracy of their publications.
The journal is published quarterly (January, April, July, October) online at: http://www.watersa.net. There is no print publication.

I'll get around to it. I'll do it. Later.
Things get put off. Many excuses crop up that keep me from accomplishing a simple task. Lately, it's been feeling sick, down, or in pain. Just a constant low-grade pain eating away can diminish enthusiasm.
I didn't bother posting 52Frames' submission last week because it's a consistency shot and honestly, I was embarrassed by the picture. I wasn't quite dressed proper. I was still in my loungewear, with my tall snake boots and a hoodie jacket. I plopped down my camera on a tripod in the wee hours of the morning and shot the picture. I was feeling sick at the time and soon became sick as a dog with a migraine.
That is just a small window into my struggles. Besides sickness or low-grade pain, I am dealing with a lack of motivation or lethargy. It's not easy wading through the quagmire and if I am not careful, thoughtful, or prayerful, I'll sink into a pit of despair. It's a walking tightrope I'm on and I must balance everything.
At the same time, I'm frustrated because there is so much I want to do and cannot seem to get them done now. I lack the inclination, motivation or enthusiasm. So, stuff piles up around here. That's okay though, it'll get done. Someday. Maybe tomorrow. Or next week. Or next year.
Note, there may be gaps in posting from here on as I'm gearing up preparations for camping trips in mid-May and end of May. Let the list making begin! Actually, I'll start that tomorrow.
I was playing around with the use of complementary colors as negative space. I boosted the shadows and mid-tones. I also slightly adjusted the saturation. I was trying to give it a mix of an otherworldly and natural look. It didn't turn out like I wanted; but, I still like the shot.
FYI: The title of this post is the name of this dragon and it's part of a now-defunct Krystonia figurine series. It is one of my favorite figurines out of the collection.
I went searching for quotes to inspire me into writing. Enjoy.
There's nothing like the peace of the countryside, the quiet and the lack of distraction. It helps you to focus your mind.
I do love my little spot on this earth. It's extremely peaceful. It's not very big; but, it's bigger than what the average city or suburban dweller owns. Neighbors are not all in your business even though there is essentially no privacy. We are allowed to do pretty much as we please include letting the land go wild in Spring.
However, living here doesn't always help me focus. My mind tends to wander much like the flittering butterfly in search of nectar. It tends to jump from one thing after another which is why I never seem to accomplish a single task.
I agree there is nothing like the countryside and the peace that comes living here; but, it doesn't take care of the distractions going on within my mind. I am usually able to push all the noise inside aside if I am involved something I am passionate about, must focus on a conversation, or have a camera in hand.
I don't think I ever created a diorama in my life. I've been wanting to just to have fun. I don't think I ever built things with Lego before either. I've played with them whenever my brothers brought theirs down; but, I never had a set of my own. Dan (my husband) and I had a good time building the dinosaur together one evening. Everything is food except the background, the base (foil), and, of course, the dinosaur. I used stale cookies (on a diet here), Potato Stixs, cheese balls, Broccoli, red gel, frosting (as glue) and the infamous Peeps! I hoped the tinfoil base would look like water in the back.
I forgot to mention that there is Thyme on top of the cookie base. And, it's a consistency shot.
Historic Annunciation Catholic Church in St. Hedwig, Texas.
I took this as a consistency shot during the week of 52Frames' "City at Night" challenge. There is not much to my city and I've always thought this church located in a nearby town is beautiful. One of these days, I would love to explore the church inside, with permission of course.
It's crazy how several little things happening seemingly at once get me down. Let the negativity (in my mind) begin. Discouragement and Depression creep in. I want to give up. I have nothing of value to show for what I've done in my life. Nothing. I feel absolutely worthless.
I was really bad off this morning. I still kind of am. Dan (my husband) knew it. He sat down beside me and asked what's wrong? I didn't want to cry. I hate to cry. It leaves me feeling crappy and headachy. But, I did tell him I was feeling worthless. He looked me in the eye and basically told me I was everything to him. I'm not worthless. It made me feel slightly better.
A little voice within reminded me God is like that. We are of value to Him no matter what we have done (or not done) in life. He knows us through and through. We are not worthless to Him.
I just need to remember this fact.
I just need to be patient and trust in Him.
I just need to keep on pursuing (being consistent with) these little endeavors and little goals of mine. They are helping me to live. to heal. to grow.
I just need to wait (patiently) for the answer(s). It may be He's waiting until I'm in a good place mentally. Who knows the mind of God? I certainly don't.
I really do not want to post this. But, I promised myself long ago that I would keep this honest. I would keep this real. I would keep this true. If I don't like the feeling of "fakeness" within other people's writings, why should I be the same? So, here it is for what it is worth. Be kind.
I took this one attempting to get the scenery of the walkway bridge and walls with the river. The light trails are from a riverboat. I have an extremely difficult decision choosing between this one and my actual submission. In the end, due to some of the light trails being overexposed and people movement, I went with my other picture.


This function puts a TextBox of the specified width and height at the (x, y)-coordinates of your document. This is its documentation.
The TextBoxes of Scribus Templates are eerily insular. Since we really didn't find a way to make text flow in Scribus MasterPages, we were forced to write a script. It builds on a script that was posted some time ago on the Scribus mailing list.
We have added an alternate to the Flow of Text that may be useful to the users of the script. The TextFlow in the original is fine, but ours is fine, too. To push the Text as a River metaphor a bit further: the text must flow, and we're redirecting it with a Dam.
To see the difference, it's probably best to run the script itself. Fetch the TextBoxes.py and Boxes.py files, and put them in the same directory. Open Scribus and load a document. Things will only work if there's already a Scribus document open.
The above are the lines in Boxes.py where you specify the size and position of your TextBoxes. It uses the same units as your Already opened Scribus document. Note that you can have different layouts for odd and even pages. Once you've written a layout, execute TextBoxes.py from the aptly named Script menu.

Ancestral Discoveries: "You Don't Need to Know What You're Looking For ..."
"You Don't Need to Know What You're Looking For ..."
You know the ads. An actor talks about researching family history, following leaves, and an amazing revelation, then says, "You don't need to know what you're looking for. You just need to start looking."
Well, if you don't know what you're looking for, how will you know it when you find it? How will you know that the person you're linking to is actually your ancestor?
If you don't know where you want to go--don't know what you're looking for--then it doesn't matter which person you link to. Anyone will do. But if you want to find your family, you need to have a plan. You need to know what, and who, you're looking for.
Talk to your family. Call your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, your parents' best friends. Look on the backs of old photos, because information may be written on the back. Look in the family Bible for names. Once you know who you're looking for, it can actually be easier to find them, because you know where they probably will be and who will be with them.
Do the research to find your family members. Take the time to document and prove each connection in your family tree. Don't just blindly follow a twitching leaf that someone else has posted and take that person at his word. You might end up climbing someone else's family tree instead.
You are so right! It is not fun climbing up someone else's family tree, because you have to climb down. Great Points.
Thanks for your comment, Yvette. One positive thing that could come out of climbing someone else's tree and climbing down again is that it would be good exercise in better research tactics.
"But...but... I want it to be EASY to do research. I want to be able to click and find everything laid out for me perfectly. I want to be handed my family history on a plate and...."
"Oh. I want a professional researcher to do my work for me, but I'm too cheap to pay for one."
Love the line about climbing another family tree. My own tree has enough nuts in it - I don't need to look for someone else's.
I definitely agree with your comment that people want it to be easy. The instantaneous nature of the Internet has accustomed people to being able to find information at the touch of a keystroke. Programs such as WDYTYA and ads such as the ones I refer to don't help, because they don't emphasize the hard work that's required to document and prove a lot of family history.


It's estimated that 40 million American adults age 18 and over suffer with anxiety. This disorder is the most common form of mental illness in the United States, and it can be marked by symptoms like panic attacks, breathing issues, racing heart, and chest pain.
The great news is that anxiety symptoms can be controlled. While many people opt to receive a prescription, the fact remains that many inadvertently develop an addiction to their medication. If you want to learn more about prescription drug addiction, please visit The Recovery Village. If you're ready to take control of your anxiety, consider these 9 healthier alternatives to prescription anxiety medication.
Vitamin B is an essential nutritional component in the maintenance of proper brain health. When levels are low, you experience symptoms like increased stress and emotional instability. This exacerbates anxiety and can significantly contribute to your condition. The key players you want to consider include B1, B3, B5, B6 and B12.
It's been shown that magnesium deficiencies are among the most common causes of elevated stress levels and overall nervousness. If you have anxiety, this hits pretty close to home. Typical western diets often lack in proper magnesium levels. Supplementation could offer the relief you need.
It's the stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy after your Thanksgiving meal. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid well known for its stress-relieving capabilities. You don't have to consume it through turkey, however. There are supplements on the market that could work to alleviate the symptoms of your anxiety.
When you exercise, the body releases hormones that help you more effectively deal with stress. Something that seemed like a big deal suddenly doesn't seem so daunting. It helps clear your mind and even makes you look better in the process. By allocating 30 minutes to an hour every day, regular exercise is a great way to increase confidence and reduce the symptoms of your anxiety.
Anxiety isn't strictly a modern day issue. People have been struggling with the symptoms since the beginning of time. One remedy that's been used for centuries is Passion Flower. Studies have revealed that it helps promote inner tranquility and calm your anxieties.
Like Passion Flower, Valerian root is another excellent natural alternative to prescription anxiety medicine. It is preferable to kava kava since the FDA has issued warnings about the potential for liver damage when using the latter. Due to its calming properties, Valerian root can also be used to help reduce the symptoms of depression.
Yoga is an ancient practice that guides you in self-reflection while helping you connect your mind and body through various stretches and poses. It forces you to let go of your external surroundings and become closer with your own inner thoughts.
The symptoms of anxiety can be very extreme. They can prevent you from fulfilling your personal and professional goals. Since it is so treatable, it only makes sense you'd do what you can to stay in control.
Whether you want to avoid the side effects of many of these medications or want to ensure you don't develop an addiction, these nine natural alternatives can offer the control over your condition you've been seeking. `You can live a normal life, and now's the time to explore your options to see what'll be most effective for you.

"She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)" é uma canção do DJ francês David Guetta, com participação nos vocais de Sia. Foi lançado como primeiro single do relançamento do álbum Nothing but the Beat (2011), sendo o sétimo single do álbum, lançado em 21 de agosto de 2012.

Lançamento
Um extended play com remixes da trilha sonora feita por Michael Calfan e Sandro Silva foi disponibilizado por exclusivamente via Beatport em 7 de agosto de 2012. O single e um EP foi disponibilizado no iTunes e Amazon.com, em 21 de agosto de 2012; e um CD single foi lançado em 24 de agosto de 2012, devido ter sido lançado em download digital no Reino Unido em 10 de setembro de 2012. Em 21 de setembro de 2012 o vídeo da música foi publicado para o Vevo.

Recepção da Crítica
Robert Copsey da Digital Spy, deu a canção um comentário misto, afirmando:

- Depois de conquistar o hook-up mundial com Flo Rida, ela voltou pra onde tudo começou com David Guetta, que parece estar esperando que um raio caia duas vezes após a espetacular "Titanium". Mais uma vez são as letras sínceras sobre a casa como ela confessa: " Você me caça como um lobo, um predador / ... Eu me senti como um cervo em luzes de amor" com o mesmo entusiasmo inimitável.
O Resultado é nada que eu não tenho ouvido falar, mais isso não é necessariamente uma coisa ruim.

"That's a good sign, of course, if he's talking good about me," he replied.
"It's great. To start with, that he knows me, that he talks about me, it's just amazing, because I used to watch him playing on TV, and the distance between he and me was so huge that it was just impossible to be able to play or to be around him at a certain point. So this is really amazing.
"He's the one who's more or less the leader of the new generation of tennis players.
"It's been a while since he's been around, so he's got lots of experience already.
