We are proud to offer bed bug heat treatment exterminations to residents of Brampton! Our heat treatment extermination kills all bed bugs and their eggs in just one day with just one treatment! There is a 90 Service Guarantee associated with our bed bug heat treatment. If you're not sure which extermination method is right for you simply give us a call and we'll help you through how to decide.
Brampton Ontario has been especially hard hit by the bed bug problem in recent years! The reason(s) for this are many but one major reason is the demographic expansion of the Brampton area itself. As more people move into and around Brampton, the conditions necessary for bed bugs to spread become more prevalent. As a result, bed bug extermination companies in the Brampton area are being overrun with requests for treatment.
Until recently if a resident of Brampton found themselves dealing with a bed bug problem the only method of treatment was the traditional bed bugs extermination methods. Although these methods can be effective, the company used to perform these types of exterminations and the technician that they send to actually do it must be experienced in addition to being sent with the correct equipment to get rid of the bed bugs efficiently.

Purification of adenovirus and adeno-associated virus: Comparison of novel membrane-based technology to conventional techniques
A.M. Duffy, A.M. O'Doherty, T. O'Brien, P.M. Strappe
Adenovirus (Ad) and Adeno-associated virus (AAV) are efficient gene delivery systems; manipulation of the wild-type genome allows their use as vectors for the over expression of desirable transgenes. Generation and purification of such viral vectors can be labour intensive, costly and require specialized equipment, but a new generation of membrane-mediated ion exchange kits for purification of recombinant virus may facilitate this process. Here, we examine the yields, transgene expression and purity of preparations of Ad and AAV purified using commercially available kits in comparison to other established techniques for purification of recombinant viral vectors. We demonstrate comparable results for Ad and AAV respectively in all parameters investigated, with a substantial reduction in purification time for the kit-based technology. Such approaches are attractive methods for small-scale purification of recombinant Ad and AAV viral vectors.

Leonard Joel Baker (January 17, 1945 – April 12, 1982) was an American actor of stage, film, and television, best known for his Golden-Globe-nominated performance in the 1976 Paul Mazursky film Next Stop, Greenwich Village and his 1977 Tony Award-winning performance in the stage play I Love My Wife.

Early life and education
Baker was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, the middle child of William, who owned his own plumbing business, and Bertha (née August) Baker. He had two brothers, Alan and Malcolm, and described his upbringing as "middle-middle class."

As the middle child, he referred to himself as "the pickle in the middle" and dreamed of being in musicals. He began acting in kindergarten, where he was cast as an elephant in a school play, and from fourth grade on, he was "constantly" on stage, eventually becoming the vice president of Brookline High School's dramatic society.

While his brothers followed his father into plumbing, Baker stuck to acting. After graduating from high school, in 1962, he went to Boston University, where he majored in acting. He graduated in 1966. Throughout college, he appeared in the Spa Music Theatre in Saratoga Springs, New York, with Boston University's Theatre Division, and with the Harvard Summer Players at the Loeb Drama Center.

Career

Theatre
Baker described himself as a "skinny, silly shlump." He played offbeat characters, which he described as being "long, skinny funny-looking goofy types."

Coming out of college, Baker claimed to have offers to do theatre in New York, which he turned down out of fear of being reduced to "a spear carrier." Instead, he accepted an offer from Richard Block, the director of the Actors Theatre of Louisville (ATL) in Kentucky, to be a journeyman, rounding out its 10 principal cast members:

In September 1966, he made his acting debut, playing Tom Stark in All the King's Men, at ATL. The following year, he made Actors' Equity and earned the minimum, $125 per week (approximately $950 in 2019). He remained at ATL through May 1968.

He then went to the Center Stage in Baltimore until he made his Off Broadway debut in 1969 in City Scene. He followed with three plays by Israel Horovitz at the Manhattan Theatre Club, a performance in The Year Boston Won the Pennant at Lincoln Center, as well as roles in Summertree and The Real Inspector Hound.

In 1974, Baker went to Paris, where he performed two Israel Horovitz one-act plays: Hop Scotch and Spared. The same year, he made his Broadway debut in The Freedom of the Theatre. In 1976, he performed with the Phoenix Company in Secret Service, Boy Meets Girl, Pericles, Prince of Tyre, and The Merry Wives of Windsor. He later did a season with the New York Shakespeare Festival, during which he appeared in Henry V and Measure for Measure. However, his biggest performance was in I Love My Wife.

Beyond Broadway, Baker performed in other regional theater productions in Chicago, St. Louis, and his native Boston. He spent five summers at the O'Neill Center's National Playwrights Conference and its Theatre for the Deaf in Waterford, Connecticut, working with young playwrights. He called his time at the O'Neill Theatre his "best training," stating that watching the deaf taught him to be "so brazen with the comic use of his body."

In August 1977, Baker's Broadway contract was due to be re-negotiated. He was hesitant to commit to more than one year, stating:

Film and television
Baker appeared in a number of television shows, such as Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, The Rockford Files, and Taxi. In 1973, he appeared in the acclaimed TV film Pueblo.

His most prominent film roles include The Paper Chase and the lead in Next Stop, Greenwich Village, Paul Mazursky's 1976 semi-autobiographical film.

Personal life
At the height of his career, Baker was 6'0" and 145 pounds. He was knob-kneed and was described as a "long, lean and lanky, stringbean of a chap with the most formidable nose in entertainment since Jimmy Durante." It was often due to his physique and nose that he got auditions, jobs and laughs. However, as a child, Baker had been self-conscious about his body, particularly his prominent nose:

On opening night of I Love My Wife, his apartment was burglarized. Along with his television set, his bar-mitzvah ring was stolen.

Baker was a feminist. In 1977, during his run of I Love My Wife, he used his fame to vocally state his dissatisfaction with The Shubert Organization –– the organization running the Barrymore Theatre, where the play was being performed –– about pay equity:

Baker was a proponent of actors going to college, believing a "good liberal education is essential" to grounding actors in all the arts.

Later in his career, he expressed wanting to become a playwright and forming a repertory company with Paul Mazursky and Leonard Nimoy.

Little is known of Baker's romantic life. In 1976, he claimed to be "dedicated to remaining a bachelor," but alluded to serious romances with "two or three" women.

Death
In August 1978, Baker's career began to be cut short by thyroid cancer. Baker underwent surgery to remove the cancer. During one of these surgeries Baker's vocal chords were seriously damaged causing irreperable damage to his voice. Despite the cancer and the damage done to his vocal chords, Baker continued to get parts and work as an actor.  "A serious throat ailment," according to articles in the Detroit Free Press and the Hartford Courant published during that month, caused him to leave the cast of the pre-Broadway show Broadway, Broadway. His final television performance was a guest-star appearance on the sitcom Taxi in 1979. His last noted stage performance was in March 1980, in which he reprised the one-act Horovitz plays he had performed in Paris.

He was eventually diagnosed with Medullary thyroid cancer. Decades after Baker's death, commentator David Ehrenstein incorrectly speculated in LA Weekly that Baker had suffered from AIDS, then known as "gay-related immune deficiency" (GRID), for approximately two years before his death. Ehrenstein's 2003 LA Weekly essay includes a quote from actor Anthony Holland that indicates that Baker lived in Los Angeles in 1980.

As Baker's illness worsened, he moved to Miami to live with his parents. There is no reliable source to confirm that his illness was HIV-related, and HIV is not mentioned anywhere in Baker's death certificate. He died on April 12, 1982, at the Community Hospital of South Broward in Hallandale Beach, Florida. He is buried in Moses Mendelsohn Memorial Park in Randolph, Massachusetts.

THE JUDGE PRESIDENT vs JUSTICES OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT – What Are the Missing Facts?
Facts Matter.
The South African public's understanding of the long-running spat between the Cape Judge President, on the one hand, and Justices of the Constitutional Court acting as an institutional block, on the other, seems informed by much factual ellipsis.
In this short paper, I try to present some of the facts that, in my assessment, seem to have disappeared from public discourse on this case, resulting in some members of the public and analysts making some of the most extraordinary statements about the case. In the process I make some of my own observations about those facts which, if considered, may in my assessment possibly have resulted in a different outcome from the one recently reached by the Judicial Conduct Tribunal of the South African Judicial Service Commission on 9 April 2021.
In writing this paper, I am moved by a concern about the dominant fact-free narrative that seems to be treated as authoritative in public commentary on this case. My purpose, therefore, as the Code of Conduct for Legal Practitioners allows, is to help guide public understanding of the issues that have arisen or may yet arise in the course of the further conduct of this process, if any should follow.
As you read this paper, be aware that I was part of the Judge President's legal team in 2008 until April 2009.

My top 5 Games I Loved at Christmas
Christmas is a magical time of year; an opportunity to spend time with friends and family, overindulging in food, laughing at awful jokes in crackers and finding out what wonderful game Santa's brought you for all that good behaviour!
By Matt (@MyGamerXP)
Reflecting on years gone by I've been very fortunate and enjoyed many gaming classics. I thought I'd try to pick 5 that stand out most to me, with the hope of you sharing some of your wonderful memories in the comments section too.
5. Mortal Kombat 3
Starting off at number 5 I remember receiving Mortal Kombat 3 on the Mega Drive (aka Sega Genesis) one year and getting very excited. With an age 18 rating on the front cover I have no idea how this managed to slip by jolly old Saint Nick, as I must have only been around 11 at the time. I quickly became obsessed with learning all the special moves, fatalities, babalities and animalities for every character. It was insane and a very merry christmas indeed.
4. Fable
On one particular christmas I received Fable and an original Xbox (a transparent "crystal" edition) which blew me away. The graphics, story, humour, seemingly endless possibilities (good and evil), was simply amazing. It's a shame Lionhead Studios no longer exists as I really enjoyed this franchise. It's the reason I wanted an Xbox in the first place, Fable 2 was the reason I wanted an Xbox 360 (and, well, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion), and whilst it kind of went a bit downhill from there, it's the reason I went with an Xbox One first in hope of it making a glorious return like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Unfortunately that wasn't to be and we were left with just a burnt husk on the ground. Such a shame. Anyway, moving on…!
3. Sonic 2
Okay so imagine you're a kid who loved Sonic 1, it was one of the first games you ever played, completely opening your eyes to a new form of interactive media, you're obsessed, then out of nowhere on a trip to town one day with your parents you see Sonic 2!!!
I had no idea. I was young, the Internet wasn't a thing back then, and just… wow… simply… wow! I remember it like a video that plays in my mind; little me stood in Dixons, watching Sonic 2 on a 14 inch TV, being introduced to a new character (Tails). Simply put, by the time christmas came around, I was a very happy little boy!
2. Shenmue
So how do you top Sonic 2? Some would argue with Sonic 3 or Sonic and Knuckles which I did also receive on other christmas mornings, and whilst they were fantastic games, they didn't quite capture the same level of speechless awe followed by uncontrollable excitement. The next game that springs to mind of achieving that effect is Shenmue on the Dreamcast.
The sheer ambition of this game is incredibly impressive for its time. I remember repeatedly starting the game over to watch the intro again and inviting as many friends over as I possibly could to show them how amazing this was. I spent countless hours in Shenmue, partly due to the arcade I frequented to sink more money into Space Harrier and collect those little Sega figures.
Shenmue was in a very unsuspecting box at the bottom of my christmas sack that year, to which I'm sure the neighbours heard my reaction to once opened. It was very hard to contain my excitement for that.
1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
When I think back of past christmas mornings, Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 is often at the forefront of my memory. That year it was the game to get. My parents knew how much this meant to me as it was the only thing I wanted. My mum told me later that she was so happy the store reserved one for her that she brought in a tray of cakes she made for all the staff as a thank you. How sweet.
With the exception of possibly Skyrim I don't think I've ever been so completely immersed and absorbed in a game as much as this. For what felt like a year or possibly more I lived and breathed the world of Hyrule; completing every quest (including Biggoron's Sword), collecting every gold Skulltula token and heart piece, exploring every dungeon, fishing, even simply just visiting Kakariko Village and listening to the music or trying to create my own tunes on the Ocarina, I was completely invested in this game.
As I get older I still enjoy games and get excited about new worlds and new possibilities, but nothing seems to quite match some of those old memories of classic games from my childhood.
I've been very fortunate to receive and enjoy some amazing video games, but I would love to hear about your memories too. What games do you remember getting and have fond memories of over christmas?
Let me know in the comments below.

Molecular packing in amorphous carbohydrate matrixes
AS Townrow, JD Kilburn, MA Alam, J Ubbink
The molecular packing of bidisperse matrixes of amorphous carbohydrates consisting of a fractionated maltopolymer supplemented with various amounts of the disaccharide maltose is investigated by combining Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) with specific volume measurements. The maltopolymer-maltose blends are equilibrated at a range of water activities between 0 and 0.75 at 25 C in order to investigate the effect of water content and carbohydrate molecular weight distribution on the size of the molecular free volume holes in both the glassy and rubbery states. In the rubbery state, the size of the intermolecular holes is only very weakly dependent on the carbohydrate molecular weight, provided that the carbohydrate blends are analyzed at the same water content. In contrast, in the glassy state, significant differences in the size of the free volume holes are observed between the various blends at constant water content. Both the specific volume and the hole volume decrease with increasing maltose content, initially rapidly up to a maltose content of about 40 wt % on total carbohydrate. In addition, we find that the role of water as a plasticizer and matrix constituent is a complex one. At very low water contents, water acts by filling the free volume holes between the carbohydrate molecules. This hole-filling mechanism could well be related to the phenomenon of anti-plasticization observed before. At higher water contents, corresponding generally to water activities above 0.11 at 25 C, water conversely increases the average hole volume in the carbohydrate matrixes, most likely caused by water interfering with the hydrogen bonding between the carbohydrate molecules, leading to a local expansion of the molecular packing.

Q: Blackberry Browserfield example app not launching I'm attempting to run a very simple Blackberry/Java application which implements the BrowserField class.  When I launch it in the simulator it just hangs.  When I launch it on my device nothing happens.
JRE: 7.0
Simulator:  4.0.0.141
  package mypackage;

  import net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.BrowserField;
  import net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.BrowserFieldConfig;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen;

 public class BrowserJazz extends UiApplication
 {
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
    BrowserJazz app = new BrowserJazz();
    app.enterEventDispatcher();
 }

 public void BrowserJazz()
 {
    pushScreen(new BrowserFieldDemoScreen());
 }
 }

 class BrowserFieldDemoScreen extends MainScreen
 {
public BrowserFieldDemoScreen()
{
    BrowserFieldConfig myBrowserFieldConfig = new BrowserFieldConfig();

    myBrowserFieldConfig.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE,
           BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE_POINTER);

    BrowserField browserField = new BrowserField(myBrowserFieldConfig);

    /*BrowserFieldListener listener = new BrowserFieldListener() {
        public void documentLoaded(BrowserField browserField) throws Exception
        {
            // the document has loaded, do something ...
            Dialog.inform("PAGE LOADED!");
        }
    };*/

    add(browserField);
    //browserField.addListener( listener );

    browserField.requestContent("http://www.google.com");
    //browserField.addListener( listener );

  }
  }

Any ideas?

A: You are using "NAVIGATION_MODE_POINTER" which only support OS 5 and above as you can read from browserfield doc http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/5.0.0api/net/rim/device/api/browser/field2/BrowserFieldConfig.html#NAVIGATION_MODE_POINTER
and as you said you using an old simulator "Simulator: 4.0.0.141"

I am planning on exploring how to architect a good MVC application. During this exploration I found some interesting web-resources. I might be using this post in possible future blog posts as a reference.
I really think that looking at other peoples code can give you great ideas about what to do and what not. So here are some sample apps to look at. You could look at SharpArchitecture also as a sample app but I thought that one deserved a paragraph of it's own.
I don't know Rob Connery personally but you gotta love what he does. StoreFront, is his sample app. And you can find a lot about it here.
Read the separate Oxite paragraph for more details before downloading ! Oxite got a lot of bad credits but combined with the critics you can find it still has value in learning how to architect an MVC app or how not to architect an MVC app.
NerdDinner is rather basic but still is a nice starter with a free chapter of the "Proffesional ASP.NET MVC 1.0" book coming with it.
Codecamp server is on my list to explore, haven't seen it yet. Is is part of the "ASP.NET MVC in Action" book.
SharpArchitecture already has an architecture and while exploring it you can get very inspired. As far as I can tell there went a lot of thought in this architecture and for now I see it as a starting and reference point for my explorations.
When Oxite got out it got a lot of criticism, but also a lot of love to make it better. There is a lot to find in the comments about Oxite about what people expect from an MVC app.
This tweet from Simone Chiaretta is what most people thought about Oxite when it got out.
This post is my all-time Oxite favourite. Rob Connery gives explanations and solutions.
Although I don't like the tone, this post still has some great comments.
Most screen casts are not on an architecture level, but I do believe that the more details you know, the better you can architect the application. Also you need to be aware that these screen casts might be about different versions of the MVC framework.
Rob Connery has multiple screen casts about the storefront app and TDD.
This post by David Hayden says enough about some books, take your pick.
This is a nice Stackoverflow answer about some books.
I just had to mention these posts, but did not have a real category for it.
Simone Chiaretta describes the stack he uses with MVC. This gives a great overview of choices to make.
You wouldn't have guessed it, but other people have collected resources too.
I hope everybody has just as much fun as I have exploring this. If anybody has something to add, please do so in the comments.

Russia. Overview of Pulses S&D. Nov 2013
Russia. Overview of Pulses S&D. Nov 2013 Nov. 29, 2013
Domestic production of pulses in Russia has been expanding in recent years, and has increased from 1.29 million metric tons (MMT) in 2007 to a record 2.45 MMT in 2011 and 2.17 MMT in 2012. Area sown to pulses has steadily increased for 5 consecutive years, rising from 1.1 million hectares in 2007 to 2.0 million hectares in 2013. Despite the steadily increasing area, production still depends on yields, and in the dry year of 2012 pulses production was 2.17 MMT, lower than in 2011. Increased production has been driven by growing export demand and Russia's export of pulses increased by more than 10 times from 73,680 metric tons (MT) in 2008 to 770,846 MT in 2012. In addition to exports, a significant portion of domestic production of pulses is used for animal feed. There are no official data on the domestic consumption of pulses, but industry analysts report that human consumption of pulses has begun growing in the last 3-5 years driven by growing demand for ethnic foods, on one hand, and the demand of retailers and restaurants in big cities, which serve consumers interested in protein-rich foods. The demand from these consumers has largely been met through different varieties of imported pulses, including pulses imported from the United States. Imports from the United States increased from 7 MT in 2003 to 3,062 MT in 2012.
Domestic production of pulses in Russia has been expanding in recent years, and has increased from 1.29 million metric tons (MMT) in 2007 to a record 2.45 MMT in 2011 and 2.17 MMT in 2012. Area sown to pulses has steadily increased for 5 consecutive years, rising from 1.1 million hectares in 2007 to 2.0 million hectares in 2013. Despite the steadily increasing area, production still depends on yields, and in the dry year of 2012 pulses production was 2.17 MMT, lower than in 2011. Increased production has been driven by growing export demand and Russia's export of pulses increased by more than 10 times from 73,680 metric tons (MT) in 2008 to 770,846 MT in 2012.

The demand from these consumers has largely been met through different varieties of imported pulses, including pulses imported from the United States. Imports from the United States increased from 7 MT in 2003 to 3,062 MT in 2012.
Production of pulses in Russia dropped sharply after the breakup of the Soviet Union, from 4.92 million metric tons (MMT) in 1990 to a low of 0.88 MMT in 1999. In recent years there has been a strong increase in both planted area for pulses, and in production, although the share of pulses in Russia's total crop production remains small. In recent years, farmers have been increasing area sown to pulses, and it has nearly doubled from 1.1 million hectares in 2007 to 2.02 million hectares in 2013. Yields of pulses are still low and depend significantly on climate, and despite the steady growth of sown area, production continues to fluctuate from year to year according to weather.
The increase in pulse production in Russia has been driven primarily by increasing export demand, while domestic consumption of Russian pulses has remained largely stable. Another factor behind increased sown area is greater diversification by farmers and greater realization of the agronomic benefits of pulses in crop rotations.
Because of the strong demand for exports of pulses, the largest concentration of production is in Southern growing areas not far from export port terminals, with Stavropol kray being by far the largest producer.
Russia's top 10 provinces in production of pulses (average 2011 and 2012) are the following:
1. Stavropol kray (327,450 MT);
2. Rostov oblast (167,895 MT)
3. Saratov oblast (149,876 MT);
4. Altay kray (143,198 MT);
5. Voronezh oblast (110,324 MT);
6. Tatarstan Republic (106,781 MT);
7. Tambov oblast (92,548 MT);
8. Bashkortostan Republic (91,340 MT);
9. Krasnodar kray (88,726 MT);
10. Belgorod oblast (85,674 MT)
Pulse production is concentrated in agricultural enterprises. The Russian State Statistical Service (Rosstat) separates peas and beans in the total pulses' crop, but does not specify peas and beans by types, although there are many types of peas and beans that are produced or may be produced in Russia. According to industry analysts, in the last 5 years production of chick peas, which are in high demand in the Middle East, has been growing faster than production of any other pulses, but there are no separate statistical data on production of chick peas, although export data shows strong growth in chick pea exports. Due to the lower water requirements of chick peas, farmers have reported that they have started planting chick peas as a hedge in case dry weather impacts their other crops.
Exports of Pulses
A large percentage of pulses produced in Russia are sold for export, and in 2012 this reached 32 percent of production. Russia began increasing exports of pulses in 2008, and exports have increased tenfold from 73,680 MT in 2008 to 770,846 MT in 2012. Exports in 2013 so far have been down as a result of a smaller crop in 2012 as a result of dryness. Thus, in January – September 2013 exports were 364,210 MT, 34 percent lower than in the same period 2012.
Peas (HS number 0713 10) comprise the bulk of Russia's export of pulses. In 2012 Russia exported 590,643 MT of peas, or 77 percent of all pulses exported. Peas are followed by chick-peas (HS number 0713 20), or Garbanzos. In 2012, exports of chick peas was 161,321 MT. Exports of lentils (HS number 0713 40) was only 18,786 MT, or 2 percent of the total. While India had been the largest importer of pulses from Russia in 2012, in 2013 Turkey has become the largest buyer for all three of these pulses. In fact, so far in 2013 shipments to Turkey have accounted for 41 percent of pea exports, 65 percent of chick pea exports, and 43 percent of lentil exports. Shipments to Turkey are extremely convenient as transportation time is only a few days from Russia's Black Sea ports.
With increasing domestic pulse production, imports of pulses have also fallen in recent years, from a high of 44,000 MT, to 29,000 MT in 2012. However, despite large production and exports, imports continue as large grocery wholesalers have continued to purchase foreign pulses for restaurants and retail chains in major cities. The preference for imported pulses was based on the following factors: more uniform high quality, timely delivery, and their ease to pack into retail packages.
Despite some decline in total imports, purchases of high quality pulses (peas and beans) from the United States have been growing steadily, and increased from 7 MT in 2003 to 3,062 MT in 2012. In the January – September 2013 Russia imported 3,079 MT of legumes from the United States, which is almost 50 percent more than during the same period last year. In 2012 the United States became the No. 3 supplier of pulses (total) to Russia after Kyrgyzstan (6,820 MT) and China (3,584 MT). In the first 9 months of 2013, supplies from the United States (3,079 MT) have only been surpassed by supplies from Ethiopia (8,250 MT).
Trends in Consumption
There are no official data on the pulses consumption in the Russian Federation. According to industry analysts, the consumption of pulses in Russia continues to expand. One of the factors driving consumption is increasing awareness of consumers of the nutritious benefits of pulses and that they can be an important source of protein. Another factor is the sizeable and expanding population in Russia from former Soviet Republics such as Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, as peas, lentils, chick peas are an important part of national cuisines. The growing demand also is being driven by the expanding number and popularity of Middle East style restaurants in Russia.
Peas are the most broadly known and used pulse in Russia. According to Euromonitor, in 2011 pea consumption in Russia was around 1.5 million tons, from which 90 percent went to food and feed processing and the rest for retail sales. Retail usage accounted for 9 percent of total pea consumption in 2011. The retail channel is forecast to grow for dried peas as consumers in Russia consider peas one of very important ingredients in soups, main meals and a inexpensive source of protein. In 2014, the retail market is estimated to grow to 142,000 tons.
Peas are available in all retail channels but in some channels such as convenience stores, distribution is very limited. Open markets still play a huge role with 42 percent share in 2011, but the share is expected to decrease to 37 percent in 2014. This decline is due to the growing importance of supermarkets and hypermarkets. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are expected to account for 45.2 percent of total retail distribution of peas in 2014.
Chickpeas are not a traditional product for Russia. However, according to the industry analysts, the market for chickpeas in Russia is growing. This is largely due to expanding populations in Russia from Central Asia, whose cuisine contains chickpeas. Chickpeas have become more readily available in supermarkets, typically in 0.5 kg packaging or in open air markets in bulk.
Lentils are less popular in Russia than dried peas or beans, although historically this product was broadly used as a basic product. Now interest in lentils is rising again due to the view of lentils as a nutritious product. Russians are incorporating lentils into their diets, primarily soups, and salads. However, lentil popularity depends on its price relative to peas. Another factor driving the demand in lentils in Russia, increasing usage of the product by Mediterranean, Indian, Uzbek, Turkish restaurants, these cuisines traditionally are very popular and broadly visited in Russia.
According to the Euromonitor, the retail sector sold 5,100 tons of lentils in 2011, which accounted for 94.4 percent of domestic consumption. Food processors and foodservice accounted for the remaining 5.6 percent of total domestic consumption in 2011. In Russia, yellow, green, red and black lentils are available. The product is sold mainly packed in 0.5-1 kg packaging. The retail market is expected to grow to 6,000 tons by 2014. Overall, lentils are forecast to grow at a moderate pace due to their relatively high price compared to other pulses

Ukraine 3000 Foundation and MacDonald's Ukraine Launch Joint Charitable Action, McHappy Day
November 1, 2010, the traditional joint charitable action by the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation and MacDonald's Ukraine Company, McHappy Day, was launched. Its objective is raising funds for purchasing medical equipment to be donated to 22 children's hospitals throughout Ukraine.
The McHappy Day action is held November 1-30, 2010 in all 68 MacDonald's restaurants in Ukraine. In its course, the visitors will be able to make a personal contribution into helping children by buying a token heart or charm, and November 7 – also by ordering French fries. Additionally, this year a group of renowned Ukrainian singers, radio and TV hosts have recorded a collection of Ukrainian, Russian, and English fairytales for an exclusive fairytale CD special for McHappy Day.
The money, raised in course of the action, will be used to purchase equipment for diagnostics and treatment of respiratory organs: spirographers, nebulizers, and peakfluometers. The equipment will be donated to 22 children's hospitals in Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Kremenchuk, Krivy Rih, Luhansk, Lviv, Mariupol, Mykolayiv, Odesa, Poltava, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Sumy, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, and Yalta.
Traditionally, renowned athletes, musicians, and public figures will join in the action, visiting November 7 MacDonald's restaurant in Khreshchatyk and taking part in selling token hearts, charms, and fairytale CDs.
After the action is completed, the amount of funds, raised in course of McHappy Day, will be made public.
McHappy Day is an annual charitable action, carried out by McDonalds Company since 2002 in more than 100 countries. The action is aimed at raising funds for charitable projects dealing with children's health protection and improving their living conditions. In the eight years (2002-2009) of its existence in Ukraine the action has raised over UAH 5,162,000, channeled for supporting 40 children's patient care institutions in 29 Ukraine's cities.
Since 2005, the World Children's Day at McDonalds is held in partnership with the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation. The Foundation's considerable expertise in implementing charitable projects helps to chose patient care institutions most needing help, and making this help as effective as possible. Due to the money, collected in the 2005 action, family rooms at the Oncology Institute at the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine were remodeled and renewed. In 2006, the Healthy Heart of a Child action was implemented, purchasing cardio equipment for 18 Ukraine's children's hospitals. In 2007, equipment for emergency aid and children's electric pumps were purchased for 30 hospitals in all Ukraine's oblasts. In 2008, 29 children's hospitals received reanimation equipment for newborns. In 2009 22 hospitals received defibrillators and electrode sets.

I know these posts get read by a relatively small number of people, but I want to put it out there now: I need some help with the Metro2 part of Moneylender 3. If you're using Moneylender 2 and reporting to the credit bureaus, please email me at support@trailsweb.com if you're willing to help me iron out Metro2 functionality in Moneylender 3. It'll be another four or five weeks until I'm ready to start working on Metro2 support in Moneylender 3, but I want to get things lined up so development can go as efficiently as possible. Thanks!
Yesterday I worked on writing the system to import records from MLP2 portfolios into MLP3. That system mostly works now.
Also, as a side effect of developing the import routines, I improved the user feedback of the reindexing process to include a progress bar. In production, reindexing takes about one third longer than the time it would take to read the whole file. A portfolio with 600 loans might take one or two minutes to reindex. In development, reindexing takes about four times longer because of the overhead the debugging environment adds to the partial decryption process.
Now that data is importing, I have access to the template records in the new program and can start debugging the statement system. Additionally, I'll be adding a NumberOfPages setting so users will be able to create templates that are comprised of several pages.
I still need the import system to split payments from MLP2 into payments and adjustments in MLP3. I hope to have that written today, also. I hope to start using some of the more recent real portfolios that I have to do further testing on the loan calculator. I'll be doing a side-by-side comparison of MLP2's loan balance calculations with MLP3's to make it easier to identify where the calculations are different.
None that I can think of. The bills are paid, the coffee pot's full, I'm excited to see so much progress on MLP3 after so many years of slowly putting the pieces together. A recent cluster of sales set a new record for most licenses sold in one day, which is just the icing on the cake.


Gung-Ho. The man, the myth, the legend. Did he get his G.I. Joe uniform on the day they accidentally handed out Village People costumes? Is Duke's sideways glance because he's a little put off by his bare-chested compadre using the word "lick"? "Are you Amish? Do you not believe in buttons? GET SOME. THAT'S AN ORDER." A Real American Hero indeed.
The tough-as-nails original G.I. Joes surely wondered what happened to their squad.
I remember these old F.H.E. videocassettes. Not to quibble with Scarlett, but I had a few of the Transformers editions, and, adjusted to 2012 dollars, they cost roughly 500 bucks each ($39.95 for a couple hours of content — still less of a jip than the ticket I bought to Dark of the Moon). Oblivious as most kids are to finances, I could never figure out why my parents weren't eager to shell out cash for more and more tapes of shows that were on TV every afternoon after school. But Mom and Dad, how am I supposed to study with Talmudic intensity the one where the Decepticons build the space bridge to Cybertron?


ACO Africa was founded in 2009 as a community based organisation in Masaka-Lwengo District of Central Uganda by a group of professionals and volunteers who wished to break the cycle of poverty by providing loving support and care for the poorest and most vulnerable community members—especially children and women living with HIV. It later in 2014 evolved into a non-governmental organisation. ACO Africa specializes in areas of education, health, psychosocial care, economic empowerment, food security, nutrition, and human rights. Currently we have reached over 350 HIV positive children and women in Wakiso, Mityana, Lwengo and Rakai/Kyotera districts of Central Uganda. We provide a plethora of resources and services depending on the situation of the beneficiary, including: spiritual and psychological counseling, health care support, physical rehabilitation, emergency transportation, educational supplies, food, nutritional supplements, clothing, agricultural supplies, business training and shelter, prison rights, child rights protection and awareness, foster or alternative care, water, and hygiene, sanitation (WASH) promotion both at household and community level. It is our belief that every situation is unique; we strive to follow through and meet all needs.

What is finger arthritis treatment?
Finger arthritis treatment is available at BMI Healthcare to treat arthritis affecting the fingers. There are two main types of arthritis that affect the fingers: rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation in the finger joints, often making the finger knuckles stiff and painful to move. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of finger arthritis. It involves the cartilage between the finger joints to gradually wear away, causing pain and restricted movement.
What are finger arthritis symptoms?
The exact causes of arthritis are unknown. However, it often affects people as they age and while it affects both men and women, women are more likely to suffer from this condition.
For early stage to moderate finger arthritis, non-surgical treatments may be recommended.
There are several surgical options to treat finger arthritis. These include the small joints of the finger digits being replaced using either a silastic or a metal like implant. This can take the pain away and restore function of the hand to a large extent. This treatment operation is usually performed as a day case under a general anaesthetic.

Les eleccions presidencials de l'Afganistan de 2009 foren les segones eleccions presidencials democràtiques sota la Constitució de 2003 i es realitzaren el dijous 20 d'agost. En el mateix dia, els consells provincials també celebraren comicis. Els talibans feren una crida al boicot, justificant que les eleccions eren un "programa dels croats". La Comissió Electoral Independent anuncià que els primers resultats s'oferiran el 25 d'agost, tot i que fins al 17 de setembre no es tindran els oficials.

Candidats
Es proposaren 41 candidats a la presidència, però tres d'ells es retiraren el dia abans de les eleccions. De la resta de candidats, destacaren l'actual president, Hamid Karzai, l'ex-ministre d'Exteriors, Abdul·là Abdul·là, i el candidat independent Ramazan Bashardost.

Incidents
Cinc dies abans de la celebració de les eleccions, un atemptat amb cotxe bomba, conduït per un suïcida, esclatà a escassos metres del quarter general de la ISAF, missió de l'OTAN desplegada al país. L'explosió causà set morts i fou reivindicat pels talibans.

Observadors internacionals de la Unió Europea denunciaren nombroses irregularitats durant els comicis per la forta pressió intimidatòria dels talibans sobre la població afganesa. Constataren la mort d'un total d'onze membres de la Comissió Electoral, així com l'amputació del dit índex de la mà a almenys dos votants de Kandahar.

El Govern afganès, l'OTAN i els Estats Units feren saber, al tancar la jornada electoral, la seva satisfacció pel transcurs dels comicis, malgrat els nombrosos assassinats, atemptats, irregularitats i escassa participació (25-30%).

Ahmad Muslim Juram, portaveu de la Comissió de Queixes, comunicà el diumenge 30 d'agost que de les 2.493 denúncies per frau electoral, 567 són de caràcter greu. Si es confirmessin les sospites, els resultats quedarien anul·lats en aquelles circumscripcions on s'haguessin detectat les irregularitats.

Resultat provisional
El 25 d'agost, la Comissió Electoral va fer públic els resultats preliminars en els que el candidat a la reelecció Hamid Karzai obtenia el 41% dels vots i, el principal candidat de l'oposició, Abdul·là Abdul·là el 39%. En cas de mantenir-se aquest equilibri de forces, el resultat obligaria a celebrar-se una segona volta.

Quatre dies després, la Comissió va fer saber en roda de premsa a Kabul, un cop escrutat el 35% dels vots, que Karzai obtenia 940.558 vots (46,27%) dels 2.032.734 sufragis vàlids comptabilitzats fins al moment. D'altra banda, Abdul·là, aconseguia 638.924 vots (31,43%), i en tercer lloc se situava Ramazan Bashardost amb 277.404 vots (13,6%).

El 12 de setembre, i amb un escrutini del 95%, es feu públic que Karzai no necessitava una segona ronda per a revalidar la presidència. Segons el recompte, supera la meitat de les paperetes votades i li treu un avantatge de 26 punts a Abdul·là, segon candidat amb més sufragis. Tanmateix, la comissió ha admès que un 2% de les taules no podran ser escrutades perquè s'hi han detectat irregularitats.

Resultat
El dijous 17 de setembre, la Comissió Electoral anuncià que els resultats oficials proclamaven la reelecció de Hamid Karzai com a President de l'Afganistan, després d'obtenir la majoria absoluta. Segons dades de les autoritats afganeses, Karzai obtingué el 54% dels vots, mentre que Abdul·là aconseguí gairebé el 28%. Tot i així els resultats definitius estan pendents d'una darrera avaluació després de les denúncies de frau electoral. La missió electoral de la Unió Europea constatà la sospita sobre un milió i mig de vots, dels quals el setanta-cinc per cent afavorien a Karzai. La presidència afganesa titllà d'"irresponsables" i "parcials" les declaracions dels enviats especials.

Israel's Ministry of Defense released photos of a recent Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system test amid rising tensions with Iran.
The Ministry of Defense on Tuesday released photographs of recent tests of Israel's "Arrow 3" anti-ballistic missile system.
During the tests, a model of the interceptor missile was launched in order to check the propulsion system, as well as other tracking sensors.
The Arrow 3 system is an upgrade of the Arrow 2 defense system that has been in development with the United States since the 1980s, designed to intercept long-range missiles. The improved Arrow 3 system is cheaper than its Arrow 2 counterpart.
Israel's concept of a multi-layered missile defense system includes the interception of missiles fired from a long-range, as well as those fired from close or medium-range. If the long-range interceptors are unsuccessful, the lower layers of the defense system will be able to intercept as well.
The Arrow 3 system is said to have similar capabilities as those interception systems present on U.S. Aegis destroyers, being able to intercept missiles at great altitudes and distances.
The timing of the release of the photographs has been taken by analysts to be a message for Iran as international pressure mounts on the Islamic Republic to abandon its drive for nuclear weapons, which Israel says is aimed at the Jewish state's destruction. Iran has called Israel a "one bomb state."
"Tehran doesn't have a nuclear program - it has a program for the destruction of Israel," Minister of Public Diplomacy Yuli Edelstein told the World Jewish Congress on Tuesday.
"The Iranian regime openly calls for Israel's destruction, is planning the destruction of Israel, and is working daily to destroy Israel. The lesson says should spur the world to action," Netanyahu said during a speech for International Holocaust Remembrance day in the plenum on Tuesday.
IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, speaking at a memorial service for the crew of the Dakar Submarine, lost at sea on its way from England to Israel on 9 January 1986, was confident Israel could face down all of its foes.
"I suggest that no one tests our determination," Gantz said.
Development of the Arrow 3 system, intended to intercept long-range missiles launched at Israel, including those equipped with non-conventional warheads, will continue until the system is declared operational 2014.

Business owners most often start their business in a field they are passionate about providing for their customers. Often, managing the business itself is often not one of their strengths. That's where a money coach can help review the current status of the business, and coach the owner on steps to take to understand the financial reports, and how to build a stronger enterprise.
We will arrange an initial, confidential, consultation to discuss their current situation, motivations, and any barriers that are standing in the way of them controlling their money. Depending on the business relationship with the Business Referral Partner, we may keep the two engagements separate, or with the approval of partners and client, may work together to accomplish specific tasks. A tax preparers, for example, may have very specific guidelines that greatly affect the client's taxable income. A bookkeeper may notice certain trends or possible risks that need to be addressed. Based on their needs, we offer customized plan for their money and the pricing structure applicable. Most likely, they will have homework to prepare for our first working meeting. They may include a business partner spouse in the meetings. Works well for strong earners who have lost control, client family members who need to learn respect for money, and those who have come into a large sum of money.

Candidates Who Win City Council Seats Will Serve Two-Year Terms–Not Four
Voters cast their ballot at a polling site in Queens (Michael Appleton/ Mayoral Photography Office)
June 22, 2021 By Allie Griffin
Candidates on the ballot for City Council seats are competing for a two-year term—not the four-year term members normally serve.
Council members elected this year will complete a two-year term for the first time in two decades due to a provision in the city charter related to the census.
The provision mandates that every 20 years, terms are reduced from four years to two years to coincide with the redrawing of council districts.
The recent 2020 census will cause the city to reconfigure the borders of council districts based on changes in population.
The provision for a two-year term was introduced many years ago to allow candidates to challenge incumbents based on the new district borders.
Council candidates who win the November general election, therefore, will need to run again in 2023 for another two-year term.
Then in 2025, normal four-year council terms will resume.
The term changes only apply to city council members. Winners of city- and borough-wide offices like the mayor, comptroller, public advocate and borough presidents will serve four year terms ending in 2025.

If you rewind to 1995, there's an undeniable lack of racial diversity in film and media discourse. With Hollywood as one of the biggest exporters of culture at the time, diverse representation on screen was limited and depictions that made the cut mostly perpetuated false narratives and reinforced stereotypes, further relegating racialized people to the margins with very little opportunities to gain ground otherwise.… Read more
