Cameroon: Orange's first healthcare hotline launched in Cameroon

Yaounde, Cameroon (PANA) - In collaboration with the Cameroonian Ministry for Health, Orange Cameroon plans to launch a preventive medical service, called My Healthline, which will be expanded to other sub-Saharan African countries and extend the scope beyond sexual health, all built on a common Orange Healthcare platform.

The solution, developed by Orange Healthcare, will be released in April 2014

Organizers said that under the progrmme, their customers will be able to access personalised advice on contraception, HIV/AIDS, sexuality and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) from specialists by texting 929 between 8am and 10pm on any day of the week.

They said that in less than one hour, the service will provide them with reliable medical information at minimal cost - about EURO 0.25 per text message.

Orange will anonymise all questions, then transmit them to a medical service consisting of Cameroonian nurses and doctors.

After analysis, the answer produced by the healthcare professionals will be sent back to the customer by Orange.

My Healthline provides quick, easy access by text, which allows anonymity and confidentiality. The service is to be provided in French, English and Pidgin (the main local dialect in Cameroon).

With two doctors per 10,000 inhabitants (against 33 in France) and half the population living in rural areas, access to medical facilities is currently very difficult in Cameroon.

As Orange Cameroon has 6,500,000 customers, My Healthline will be able to reach a large proportion of the population.

Organizers said Orange Healthcare has collaborated closely with the Corporate Social Responsibility Department of Orange Cameroon and the Cameroonian Ministry for Health to achieve the best possible fit between the service and local needs.

The subjects covered are themes often considered sensitive, or even taboo, on which people need reliable, non-judgmental information.

In this way, My Healthline will help to improve preventive medicine throughout the country in partnership with medical professionals.

For more than a decade, Orange has gained substantial experience in providing integrated and customer-centered technology solutions for health professionals, health providers and patients.

This has been done through close collaboration with health professionals and providers – ensuring that the technology brings improved quality and efficiency for all. In 2007, Orange signaled its commitment to the health sector with the creation of Orange Healthcare, its new Health Division.

Gambia: ECOWAS committed to consolidate development, democratization in Gambia

Banjul, Gambia (PANA) - The special representative of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) President in The Gambia on Friday reiterated the commitment of the regional block in its efforts to consolidate development and democratization in the country.

Speaking at the opening of a round-table meeting on coalition management, Vaba Gayflor said that the expansion of the mandate of ECOWAS Mission to Gambia (ECOMIG) includes support of training and reorientation of the various armed and security forces.

The meeting took place at the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, a Swiss private mediation foundation whose core mission is to prevent, mitigate or resolve armed conflict through dialogue and mediation.

"Given our strong belief that the continued existence of the Gambia Coalition 2016 is crucial to long-term peace and stability in the country," Gayflor said, "the Humanitarian Dialogue is interested in undertaking initiatives aimed at strengthening the coalition and also in fostering harmonious relationship between all the political parties."

Meanwhile, Women Affairs minister Fatoumatta Jallow-Tambajang said that Gambia shares collective vision, democratic values and responsibilities to make a difference for its people and to deliver the much-needed development and advancement.

Jallow-Tambajang, who doubles as overseer of the Office of the Vice President, said "this move is meant to provide avenue for the Gambian coalition 2016 to share and benefit the coalition management in other African countries that will reflect people's mind on the recent political impasse [in Gambia]."

She noted that eight political parties formed the coalition with the aim of putting an end to 22 years of former president Yahya Jammeh’s autocratic rule.

Tambajang outlined the significance of the dialogue saying it would help them learn from the experiences of other African countries on coalition management.

“We seek to learn, in spirit of African unity and solidarity, about how those before us have worked towards delivering the dividends of democracy and good governance in the spirit of the various ideology differences and interest that characterize coalition members,” she added.

Togo: Togo ratifies CEN-SAD revised treaty

Lomé, Togo (PANA) – Togo has ratified the revised treaty of the Community of Sahelo-Saharan States (CEN-SAD), adopted on 16 February, 2013, by the conference of Heads of State and government from the organization, PANA learnt from official sources here Thursday.

The treaty was ratified after a draft bill was adopted at a meeting of ministers.

A communiqué said the revision of the treaty became essential following its low achievements caused by, among other things, the Libyan crisis in 2011.

"From now on, CEN-SAD will live up to its responsibilities in ensuring peace, security and stability in the Sahelo-Saharan zone and more particularly around the promotion of political dialogue and the fight against cross-border crimes.

CEN-SAD, set up on 4 February, 1998, in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, is an international organization bringing together 28 African countries.

Life Insurance Blog

March 30th, 2011
in Life Insurance,premium financing
Using a Life insurance policy to your extreme advantage will help you truly understand what infinite banking really is.  We all know there are two major strategies that can help us build wealth.
  • Individuals can increase the dollar amount of money you make by getting a better paying job
  • Or you can increase the amount of money you keep in your pocket.

The Infinite Banking Concept or Strategy is a system that helps both individuals and businesses change out money that would have been normally lost as a debt and put higher amounts of interest and taxes back into your circle of wealth building.

You must take a really close look at  the money you spend for an entire lifetime to finance their lifestyle.  The Infinite Banking Strategy can be used to purchase cars, boats, appliances, education, healthcare, and many other items that are necessary in our world.   Consider that you now have the ability to recapture the money lost to these purchases. Put that next to a funding vehicle that utilizes tax advantages through the IRS tax codes and get a guaranteed growth; That in a nutshell is the Infinite Banking Concept.  Please call today to get a more detailed proposal for this strategy.

in premium financing

Many individuals with a net worth of 5 million or more are most likely eligible for a Premium Financing Life Insurance Program.  Easily explained:  While most pay cash to fund their life insurance policy, when you premium finance life insurance, you will get a loan from a bank to pay the premiums.  The lender or bank is on the life insurance policy certificate and is repaid later on from the death benefit. This helps the purchaser to acquire an insurance policy without having use his immediate cash flow. The lender of the loan can either be collateralized by other assets of the purchaser or not.  If you do not decide to collateralize the loan, expenses will become greater. This strategy has become very popular these days…

In some instances these arrangements are sometimes referred to as “free insurance”, because of the arbitrage you make on the loan. The individual who took the loan to buy the life insurance  is hedging that the performance of the life insurance policy exceeds the lending rate of the bank. When  low interest rates come around like in the marketplace today, this is usually an easy hedge. If high interest rates are evident you have to look at the other value adds a premium financed policy gives you.

Be sure to get with your life insurance advisor to see if you qualify for this amazing program…..  Read More here on Premium Financing.

15 Bengali Vegetarian Dishes You Need To Taste Once In Your Life

by Anwesha Maiti

It’s raining outside, and I have just been back from home, Bengal, the best place on earth for a foodie. You can probably guess how I feel right now!

When I say that I nearly stuffed myself to death with food, believe me, I am not exaggerating. What with trying to make my numerous grandmas and aunts and my mum happy, I hogged like a pig, because “aha, okhane toh bangali ranna pabi na!”.

And despite being a hardcore non-vegetarian, each time home, I eat more Bengali vegetarian dishes than non-veg, courtesy the old-timey ladies in my life. And since I’m feeling generous, let me share some of those vegetarian gems that come from the mine that is a Bengali ‘ranna-ghor’.

1. Shukto, because we start our food with the beautiful bitter

Image source

This bitter-sweet dish is made with common veggies like papaya, carrots, but bitter-gourd steals the show. Try it out, you won’t regret. Here is a recipe.

2. Naksha bori (designed and sundried lentils fried) bhaja

Shada bhaat with sona mooger daal, gondhoraaj lebu, and this baby. I can’t even.

3. Radhaballabhi

Image source

Or call it daal poori if you must, but it can beat all kinds of bread any day. Here is a recipefor you.

4. And some chhoto aloor dum

Image source

They may be baby potatoes, but the dish is super rich in taste. It’s not hard to make, so go try cooking it.

5. Mishti polao, that beats all kinds of rice preparations any day

Image source

Heaven on earth, this sweet pulao dish. Here’s a recipe.

6. With dhokar dalna (curry made of fried chana daal patties) maybe

Image source

Care for some awesomeness? Here’s a recipe.

7. Or do you prefer chhanar dalna (cottage cheese curry)

Image source

And some more of that awesomeness? Check out the recipe.

8. Let us not forget the beauty that is potoler dolma

Image source

I can die every day, eating this dish of stuffed pointed gourds!

9. Bhaja moog daaler khichuri

Image source

The staple food for Durgapuja, Saraswati puja, Lakshmi puja and rainy days, this special khichdi is made with fried moong daal. It’s also super easy to make.

10. Accompanied by some labra

Image source

Because khichuri is not khichuri without some labra (a mixed veg curry, Bengali style).

11. Chhyanchra

Image source

The bad guy of Bengali cuisine that nobody can resist, this curry is made with potatoes, pumpkins and generally fish head, but believe me, the veg version is even more rad! Here’s a recipe.

12. And chapor ghonto

Image source

Wishfully types Here’s a recipe for this vegetable curry made with lentil patties.

13. Or mochar ghonto (banana blossom curry)

Image source

This is not food. This is art. Here’s how to make this art.

14. Sojne dantar chorchori

Image source

Chewing, that’s how we do it. Here’s the recipe for the drumsticks curry made with mustard and poppy seeds.

15. Mohanbhog (sweet sooji)

Image source

Because “sesh paate mishti”. Here’s a recipe!

Are you having second thoughts about turning a veg? I know the feeling, bruh!

The Pennsylvania Wilds is blessed with more public land than Yellowstone National Park, some 16,000 miles of public waterways and tremendous wildlife. But it wasn’t always this way. At one point at the turn of the century, large swaths of our landscape were so cut over, people abandoned the land and laughed when the government started to buy it up to build state and national forests. Fires and flooding raged. Our now famous elk went extinct. Whitetail deer nearly suffered the same fate.

100 years of conservation and sustainable forestry practices have restored the Pennsylvania Wilds to what it is today. Here, stewardship is not just a buzzword or a one-time thing. It is a way of life.

Here are practical ways PA Wilds Center invests in stewardship of the region’s natural resources and environment:

  • The PA Wilds region is one of seven Conservation Landscapes in PA because of its unique natural resources. PA Wilds Center works closely with the PA Dept. of Conservation & Natural Resources to coordinate activities by the many local partners involved in the Conservation Landscape work, which aims to grow nature and heritage tourism in the region in a way that creates jobs, diversifies local economies, inspires stewardship and improves quality of life.
  • PA Wilds Center’s Brand Principles, which guide PA Wilds logo and brand use across every platforms and program, include ‘stewardship of the land’ as a guiding value and include many references to importance of cultivating a healthy relationship between people and the environment.
  • PA Wilds Center’s two main stakeholder groups (Planning Team and Marketing Team) and its larger working networks include robust participation by public lands, game and waterways managers, as well as Conservation Districts and conservancy groups.
  • Most of the Pennsylvania Wilds is a big working forest, so PA Wilds Center works closely with foresters from the public and private sectors to help the traveling public understand sustainable forestry practices.
  • PA Wilds Center invests staff resources and advertising dollars annually to tell the region’s conservation story and promote to encourage the traveling public to engage in stewardship events in the region.
  • PA Wilds Center annually recognizes outstanding local Conservation/Stewardship efforts through it PA Wilds Champion Awards program.
  • PA Wilds Center promotes the protection of scenic view sheds, energy efficient building designs and other stewardship actions in the PA Wilds Design Guide for Community Character Stewardship.
  • PA Wilds Center collaborates regularly with West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund to raise awareness about the difference energy-efficient technologies can have on the environment and an organization’s bottom line, and the financing and grant programs this nonprofit provides in many communities in the Pennsylvania Wilds to tackle such projects.
  • PA Wilds Center, through actions of its PA Wilds Planning Team, has financially supported studies looking at carrying capacity around major tourism assets. Staff are also in a regular conversation with public lands managers about ways to mitigate carrying capacity issues.
  • PA Wilds Center is a Leave No Trace Partner
  • Starting in 2018, PA Wilds Center will collect data on how much businesses in The Wilds Cooperative of PA (the Center’s core business development program) donate annually to conservation causes.
  • PA Wilds Center partners regularly with the Conservation Fund to share best practices with other communities around the country working on similar landscape-level natural resource based economic development strategies.
  • For its PA Wilds Conservation Shop online store and physical gift shops, PA Wilds Center sources all products locally from The Wilds Cooperative of PA, which helps reduce the energy footprint of this product supply line while having a huge ripple effect on the rural economy by keeping more dollars local longer.
  • PA Wilds Center is striving to develop an annual giving campaign by 2022 geared toward residents and travelers to benefit the region’s public lands.

Iran's food industry capable of meeting WTO requirements

Tehran, Jan 10, IRNA-The national food industry is capable of meeting World Trade Organization (WTO) requirements for Iran's membership, said the head of Iran's Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines (ICCIM) in Tehran on Monday, a local daily quoted an Economic News Agency report on Tuesday.

The ICCIM head, Ali-Naqi Khamoushi, was quoted as further saying at a meeting of food industry managers and officials of the ministries of industries and mines and agricultural jihad that the country's food industries had a very strong potential for growth but that the slow pace of progress in the food processing industry was due to the eating habits of Iranians, an article in the English-language Iran Daily said.

"People tend more to eat traditional foods" rather than processed ones, Khamousi said as quoted in the article, and added that waste in the agricultural sector had risen to a staggering 30 percent.

"If we can reduce agricultural waste and increase our exports of processed foods, the industry can earn as much as $10 billion a year," he further said, and stressed that the most important advantage of the agriculture industry in the country is the abundance of organic fertilizers available for use rather than chemical ones.

The official said Iran needs to develop agricultural cooperation with Arab and African countries, the daily added.

"Bilateral and multilateral cooperation agreements will help facilitate Iran's WTO entry process." The food industry's exports are expected to reach $384 million in value in March 2006-2007, wrote Iran Daily.

Soft drinks, mineral water, biscuits and sweets valued at USD 142 million were exported during March-September 2005. The figure is expected to rise to $295 million by March, 2006 it added.

The daily wrote that fizzy drinks and biscuits were the top export items in terms of weight and value, respectively, during the above-stated period.

Food exports have declined in terms of weight but increased in terms of value.

According to the article, Iran exports foodstuff and drinks mainly to Germany, United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Britain, United States, Canada, Kuwait, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Australia, Azerbaijan, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey and Italy.

The food and drinks industries accounted for 18.8 percent of total industrial investment in Iran in the previous Iranian year.

There are 11,053 food processing units across the country which provide jobs for over 276,000 people.

Some 85 million tons of agricultural goods are produced in Iran per annum. Fifty three percent of these are channeled to the processing industries, the article concluded.

The Skeleton Lake of Roopkund, India located in Trisul, India In 1942 a British forest guard in Roopkund, India made an alarming discovery. Some 16,000 feet above sea level, at the bottom of a small valley, was a frozen lake absolutely full of skeletons. That summer, the ice melting revealed even more skeletal remains, floating in the water and lying haphazardly around the lake’s edges.

Kirk Siegler

Kirk Siegler reports for NPR, based out of NPR West in California.

Siegler grew up near Missoula, MT, and received a B.A. in journalism from the University of Colorado.  He’s an avid skier and traveler in his spare time.

When Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump meet for their third and final debate in Las Vegas on Wednesday — the only one held in the West — they'll be sparring in an important swing state where six electoral votes are up for grabs.

But there's another number you should know about that likely won't get much attention, even though it's hugely important to many Westerners: 81 percent. That's the amount of land in Nevada that's currently owned, operated and controlled by the federal government.

A large flock of sandhill cranes squawks overhead as Brenden Quinlan watches what's left of an early season snow storm roll off the massive Steens Mountain; the snow turning to sleet and then rain as it soaks the wetlands of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in remote eastern Oregon.

"It's something I find that's medicinal [to] come and hang out here," Quinlan says. "It's quiet."

#NPRreads is a weekly feature on Twitter and The Two-Way. The premise is simple: Correspondents, editors and producers from our newsroom share the pieces that have kept them reading, using the #NPRreads hashtag. Each weekend, we highlight some of the best stories.

Just after dawn, on a rutted out dirt road west of Las Vegas, Nev., Bureau of Land Management Ranger Shane Nalen steers his four by four over a small hill.

"You never know what you're going to roll up on out here," he says, his dispatch radio squawking in the background.

A panoramic view of the rugged Nevada desert unfolds. But there's also something peculiar. The desert carpet is lit up with reflecting lights shimmering in the soft morning sun.

In the small flood-ravaged town of Springfield, La., Rachel Moriarity waited more than a week for a center where she could apply for emergency food stamps to finally open in the Am-Vets hall — but she's been turned away at the door.

This week they are processing only those with last names beginning with A through D.

"I don't have a vehicle to get here," she tells a staffer from the state, who replies that due to the volume of applicants in need, there isn't anything they can do.

When a fast-moving, erratic wildfire ignites, firefighters right away try to save homes and steer the flames away from life and property. But experts say the real danger often occurs in the hours after the big wall of flames rips through.

When rancher Cliven Bundy claimed his family of Mormon pioneers had "ancestral" rights to the federal land in and around Gold Butte, Nev., Vernon Lee scoffed.

"As a native, and as the tribe that actually had that land granted by the federal government back in the 1800s, he really doesn't got a right at all," Lee says. "If anybody's got a right it would be the Moapa Band of Paiutes."

Lee, who is a former tribal councilman, is sitting on a lawn chair in the shade of his mobile home on the Moapa River Reservation.

In Southern California, an out-of-control wildfire that ignited Tuesday in a mountain pass east of Los Angeles has forced mass evacuations and destroyed an untold number of homes and businesses.

The Bluecut Fire is just the latest inferno to plague the historically dry state. In recent days, fast-moving wildfires have raced into mountain towns and even whole cities, blackening more than 30,000 acres and destroying hundreds of homes and structures.

Even with Cliven Bundy and many of his militia supporters in jail, anger toward the federal government is still running high in some parts of the West.

Clashes between ranchers and federal land managers over grazing rights are continuing. In southern Utah, things have gotten so bad lately that some local sheriffs have threatened to arrest federal rangers who try to close forest roads and cut off access to ranchers and other users.

Sometimes it's hard to tell whether Garfield County Sheriff James "Danny" Perkins is serious or pulling your leg.

Stanton Gleave hardly fits the stereotype of a modest, keep-to-himself Western rancher.

Standing in a collection of muddy pens taking a break from shearing sheep near his home in tiny Kingston, Utah, Gleave gives an earful about his frustrations with the Bureau of Land Management and environmental groups.

"That's who we're actually fighting with," says Gleave. "They've indoctrinated and got into this BLM and Forest Service 'til a lot of 'em are right up in the head positions now."

The out-of-control wildfire burning in northern Alberta has fire officials south of the border casting a nervous eye toward the summer.

The latest news that the Canadian blaze has moved into oil fields after destroying parts of an entire city comes as the U.S. Forest Service issues its annual wildfire forecast for the Western United States Tuesday.

In Utah, the Alta Ski Area gets to keep its slogan "Alta is for Skiers."

A federal appeals court has upheld the resort's long-standing snowboarding ban in a legal challenge brought by a group of local snowboarders.

The Majestic Yosemite Hotel. Big Trees Lodge.

Visitors to Yosemite National Park could be forgiven for not recognizing those hostelries' names.

They used to be called — and were famously known as — the Ahwahnee and Wawona hotels.

"It's just really surreal," said Monica Hubert, a former manager of the Wawona. "I mean, it's a National Historic Landmark."

The hotels and other Yosemite landmarks have been renamed because of a contract dispute.

The defiant leader of the anti-federal lands movement, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, is now facing multiple felony charges — including conspiracy and assault on a federal officer — in the 2014 standoff at his Nevada ranch.

Bundy, who inspired the occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, was arrested at the airport in Portland, Ore., Wednesday night, apparently on his way to Malheur.

In a 32-page criminal complaint, prosecutors allege Bundy and his co-conspirators led a massive, armed assault against federal officers in April 2014 near the town of Bunkerville, Nev.

Two days after law enforcement officers shot and killed one of the armed occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, the FBI released an aerial surveillance video of the incident.

Ever since a tense, armed standoff near Cliven Bundy's Nevada ranch in 2014, a vast and sensitive piece of federal public land adjacent to the Grand Canyon has gone unmanaged and unpatrolled.

It's safe to travel into the area called Gold Butte so long as you're not in a federal vehicle, according to Jaina Moan of Friends of Gold Butte, which wants to see the area federally protected.

The last time there was any known federal presence was last summer, when scientists under contract with the Bureau of Land Management were camped here, gathering field research.

Nearly two weeks after members of a self-styled militia occupied the remote Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in an apparent protest over how the U.S. government treats cattle ranchers in eastern Oregon, it appears things are no closer to a resolution.

Last year, snowpack across the Sierra Nevada was just 5 percent of average. Up and down the West Coast in fact, the 2014-2015 season was marked by late openings, early closings and some resorts not opening at all.

This year's strong start will be good news for farms and cities down the mountain later, but it's especially promising right now for people like Andy Wirth, the resort's CEO.

He took over in 2011, a record snowfall year, only to be followed by three dry years and then last year, the driest in 1,200 years.

With two deadly mass shootings in California and Colorado in the past week, this country is again in a fierce debate over gun control.

After the massacre in San Bernardino, President Obama encouraged states to take the lead on preventing gun violence. Both California and Colorado have responded to mass shootings recently by passing tougher gun laws.

Protests over racial discrimination on college campuses are leading to some swift responses and pledges of reform by college administrators. Even as the protests themselves appear to be quieting down ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, activists are pledging a prolonged fight.

When cacao farmers like Emilio Rivera first heard of a government-backed initiative that would help them prune branches and leaves from their trees, they were skeptical.

After all, a lush cacao tree with more, not fewer, branches meant more profits, the farmers said. That's been the traditional way of thinking for generations of cacao farmers here in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Schools tend to be the center of the community in small towns across America. That's probably never been more the case for Middletown, Calif., than right now.

Last month, when a wildfire destroyed more than half of the town in the mountains north of San Francisco, the schools were miraculously spared. They've since reopened and are offering a respite from the sad, day-to-day struggles many students and staff are facing.

What if I Suspect my Teen is Viewing Porn?

           Every parent wants to protect his teenager againse Internet Pornography.  However, there are several warning signs that your teenager might be already be using it.  If you suspect any of them, action should be taken immediately to help him.  Common warning signs include:

  • Discovering porn on your teen’s computer, cell phone, iPad, tablet, iPod, etc.
  • Isolates himself with the computer, cell phone, iPad, tablet, iPod, gaming system, etc.
  • Tries to hide/lies about his online activities
  • Makes jokes about pornography
  • Makes sexual references in conversation
  • Engages in sexting
  • Sudden drop in grades
  • Dropping out of extracurricular activities
  • Neglects responsibilities
  • No longer interested in spending time with family or friends
  • Change in mood: angry, sullen, moody, depressed, anxious
  • Disrespect for family rules

            If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a mental health professional who is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual addiction.  It is also important to thoroughly check your teenager’s computer, cell phone, tablet, etc. for Internet pornography use.  Best Buy’s Geek Squad and Staples’ Easy Tech staff can help with this.  It’s also important to immediately install Internet accountability software, such as the one provided by Covenant Eyes on all electronic devices your teenager may use that has access to the Internet.

            The most important thing you can do when discovering your teenager has been viewing pornography is to not overreact.  A teenager should not be condemned, blamed, shamed, humiliated or made to feel bad in any way about his pornography use.  He probably already feels horrible about it, so you don’t want to make things worse.  Even though society tells them that viewing pornography is okay, deep down I believe teenagers know it’s wrong.  They need love, compassion and understanding, not condemnation.  Calmly talk to him about the dangers of pornography.  Then consult a mental health professional to assess whether your teenager might be addicted to pornography.  Let your teenager know that you will do everything possible to help him.

Hi everyone!

I'm from Canada, and I'm currently studying animal health technology in college, and hoping to do some more animal behaviour training with various professionals after college. I have realized through my two years of learning and one month of working at a vet clinic that behaviour issues are a lot more common than I thought, and a lot of people unfortunately have too many misconceptions about dogs and training... So it often ends with euthanasia. I find this frustrating, but also very motivating because hopefully, with proper knowledge and experience, I could help people and make things change, even if just a little.

I found this forum because my mom and I just adopted a very shy dog... and I wanted some advice from people on how to act around her to build her confidence and trust. She is a four years old Border Collie mix (there's most likely Husky in there) and I'm sure she will be a wonderful dog when she'll learn to trust us and come out of her shell.
I also have two cats, a ten years old female and a two years old male.

I would've loved to try to teach some tricks to our dog, or even try some agility, but for now we need to let her adapt to her new environment and learn to trust us, so... maybe in a few months. She is very quick to learn, so I'm sure it'll be fun, and definitely worth the waiting.
I am also trying to teach some tricks to my youngest cat. He is also a quick learner and he seems to like playing games for food. He has a very short attention span, but it's still fun and encouraging to see how fast he's learning! It's also useful since he now sits politely for food (he used to rush for it and bite my fingers or scratch my hands to get it). I've tried training my older cat, but she's lazy and she doesn't seem to find it as fun. She just wants to get the food without working for it. :P

So that's about it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
And I hope to talk to you guys on the forum!

Two men, two mice, one dirty election

For those of you that care, last year's 7th Congressional District race between Pat Meehan and Bryan Lentz has triggered another round of criminal charges from the state Attorney General's Office.

Read today's story in the Daily News about Democrat Richard Cairns, who was charged yesterday with allegedly submitting fraudulent petitions to place third-party candidate Jim Schneller on the ballot to help Lentz.

Cairns DD

"I kind of like having a choice on the ballot," Cairns, 58, told the Daily News in August, attempting to explain why he had gathered signatures for an ultraconservative candidate.

But Commonwealth Court depositions from a lawsuit challenging Schneller's candidacy revealed a clumsy conspiracy among Delaware County Democrats - including one of Lentz's campaign workers - to siphon votes from Meehan by helping Schneller.

Schneller, a Radnor oddball who occasionally speaks in the third pe rson, initially dismissed that allegation, saying that the news reports were "as tiresome as watching two mice pushing a pancake around a plate." Schneller later admitted that Democrats had been using him to hurt Meehan.

Here's more on Upper Darby Republican operative Paul Summers, who pleaded guilty to similar activity in the same race to help Meehan.

Also, one reader got quite angry with me about today's story: "What a sad and sick person you are Bender."

Nailed it.

Raising Hog

We have some magnificent friends that live near Mount Pleasant. They’re doing some amazing things right now that leave me inspired every time we visit. This (last) year they bred some hogs for the first time: Three sows and one boar. Two of those sows got pregnant and after the first litter was born we went down to visit. While we were there the second sow was giving birth, and so we all went down to watch. (We ALL went down, we figured it was a good learning experience for the children. Also, the first sow had given birth before our friends knew, so they never actually witnessed those miracles of piglet birth. About a month later our 2-year-old pointed at our cat Jesse that was lying on her side just like the sow was and said, “Look! Jess is having baby Jesses!”) The first piglet that we saw born was still in its caul and nobody there knew what to do, so I bravely leapt into the fray and saved the piglet. We named her on the spot:
Princess Owen
DOB: August 27th, 2016
Coloring: Red with white stripe
Breed: Duroc/Hampshire cross?

Exactly what are The options For Ecommerce Enterprise Answers?

buy 7 figure circle program answers fluctuate based on a company’s needs. These answers may be obtained in a ‘ready made’ point out or require a customized customized remedy. Some common ecommerce enterprise answers are launched underneath:

Content material management: This answer would be the framework that controls the website material. All set made information administration programs may be ordered on the organization amount or sought by way of open up source sharing networks. Style and design templates can accommodate the combination of information management programs such as Drupal, WordPress and Joolma. This permits a company to update material dynamically on the fly. Corporations that need huge scale solutions can develop in the ground up or obtain high end business variations. These are typically typically costlier.

Payment Gateways: Business ecommerce remedies to aid transactions include third social gathering resolution providers and companies offered by local banking companies. To integrate your web site with the checking account is typically dearer until you help a big quantity of transactions. Setup costs, every month obtain service fees and programming service fees constitute portion of the system. 3rd party solutions these as PayPal, and 2Checkout deliver the seller while using the ability to transact in several currencies without the need of integrating right into a banking account. The money is usually later transferred into your account by wire or immediate deposit.

Security: Preserving your internet site from outside malicious assaults is a top precedence for all ecommerce web-site proprietors. Reported instances of identification theft erode purchaser confidence. Installing firewalls and utilizing a assistance these types of as hacker-safe can secure your infrastructure and business enterprise name. Safety is a expanding location of worry for all website owners. Using an suitable ecommerce organization alternative to safeguard your system should be element of each ecommerce system.

E mail: Third party electronic mail solutions make it possible for web site proprietors to speak and keep information in their consumers. Companies these kinds of as Aweber and Getresponse host databases and supply front ends to correspond with customers.

Hosting: Ecommerce company options for web hosting cater to organizational system and purposeful specifications. Typically the net advancement enterprise can recommend or has preparations with web hosting expert services. This necessitates a specialized knowledge to pick out a assistance that’s suitable for your site framework.

Custom ecommerce world wide web remedies for organization: This calls for the companies of the programmer who will function to employ the complex scope.

Transistor-Transistor Logic
4 input DTL NAND gate.

With the rapid development of integrated circuits (ICs), new problems were encountered and new solutions were developed. One of the problems with DTL circuits was that it takes as much room on the IC chip to construct a diode as it does to construct a transistor. Since "real estate" is exceedingly important in ICs, it was desirable to find a way to avoid requiring large numbers of input diodes. But what could be used to replace many diodes?

Well, looking at the DTL NAND gate to the right, we might note that the opposed diodes look pretty much like the two junctions of a transistor. In fact, if we were to have an inverter, it would have a single input diode, and we just might be able to replace the two opposed diodes with an NPN transistor to do the same job.

TTL inverter.

In fact, this works quite nicely. The figure to the left shows the resulting inverter.

In addition, we can add multiple emitters to the input transistor without greatly increasing the amount of space needed on the chip. This allows us to construct a multiple-input gate in almost the same space as an inverter. The resulting savings in real estate translates to a significant savings in manufacturing costs, which in turn reduces the cost to the end user of the device.

Commercial TTL NAND gate circuit.

One problem shared by all logic gates with a single output transistor and a pull-up collector resistor is switching speed. The transistor actively pulls the output down to logic 0, but the resistor is not active in pulling the output up to logic 1. Due to inevitable factors such as circuit capacitances and a characteristic of bipolar transistors called "charge storage," it will take a certain amount of time for the transistor to turn completely off and the output to rise to a logic 1 level. This limits the frequency at which the gate can operate.

The designers of commercial TTL IC gates reduced that problem by modifying the output circuit. The result was the "totem pole" output circuit used in most of the 7400/5400 series TTL ICs. The final circuit used in most standard commercial TTL ICs is shown to the right. The number of inputs may vary — a commercial IC package might have six inverters, four 2-input gates, three 3-input gates, or two 4-input gates. An 8-input gate in one package is also available. But in each case, the circuit structure remains the same.

Make it a Law – Help Protect Us From Ourselves

Posted on

I’m beginning a new “public service” project today, staging photographs and illustrated ads to help make people aware of the reality behind current laws, specifically how the government enjoys trying to protect us from ourselves.

This first ad is for a “car driver helmet law” and why not? Airbags or not, most head injuries in the U.S. happen inside of the car.

Help Protect us from Ourselves: Car Helmet Law (P.M. Lydon)

Thanks to Josh Hires for playing the role of the cyclist.

A few groups contacted me recently to offer translation of this message to their own language. So, here are usages in German and French…

autofahrer-tragt-mehr-helme With thanks to Devianzen

car-helmet-french With thanks to Didier LEROY

  1. Patrick your mind never stops. This is true. But could you Imagine this happening???.Then it would turn into who had the most styling helmet…lol…to funny

    1. Hey Claudio. The stats came from CDC raw data on TBI. It was a while back now, but as I remember, the way the CDC interprets this data on their own ‘public facing’ graphs, I found to be misleading. The raw data tells a different story, and you should be able to find a PDF of that TBI data on their site somewhere.

      Again, as I remember, CDC includes anyone who visits the emergency room, regardless of whether their injuries were minor or did not require treatment. My ~50% number accounts only for serious head injuries needing hospitalization or resulting in death.

      Hope that helps!

  2. according to the CDC, 40% of Traumatic Brain Injuries are sustained in a fall. Only 14% are sustained during a motor vehicle accident. Your numbers are off. Also what’s with the German math? How come they are 2/3 and not 1/2.

    1. Hey Jason… This is a very old post by now, so numbers are from years ago and I’m not in a position to spend time re-calculating. Please reference the above for CDC “raw” statistics datasheet, and interpret them as you wish. For the German numbers, you’ll have to ask the Germans about it!

Monday, January 20, 2014

There has not been a conversation in our house about the recent turmoil facing Premier Dunderdale from within and without.  It was a busy evening, Conor had Shallaway, Liam had hockey down in Torbay and Aidan wanted me to help research an essay he has to write. No talk of the defection, no news on TV.

Ten minutes ago, while getting ready for bed, Conor asked his mom if anyone likes Kathy Dunderdale? Mom, my ten-year-old asked, does anyone like her?

And this is what all of the sacrifice of a political life boils down to. When you are hot - you are hot and when you are not - well you are not!

Conor, I explained, no one dislikes the Premier as a person, but as a Premier many feel she is not up to the job. They disapprove of her performance. If the captain of the team is failing to motivate and lead, morale suffers and the team loses it's focus. What happens to the captain and the coach? They get traded he replied.

I am not pointing fingers, the implosion of the P.C. administration with nearly two years remaining in their mandate is not good news.  The government may have made it's own bed - through some poor public choices and even worse communications.

Just over two years ago, the people of this province gave Kathy Dunderdale and her team an overwhelming mandate. They found the Liberals wanting, sending only five six of them to the legislature. Now through the good fortuna of time, some  "speed bumps" in the economy, arrogance and questionable leadership - the Grits have become the only game in town.

The Liberals are gaining at the expense of the PC free-fall. Have they earned your faith? Your confidence? Your trust?

But they are better than the crowd that are there right now, right?

For the Liberals, this is the time to strike - to raise money, to pay down the debt, to organize in every cove, gut and town in the province.

This is the time to remind this province's residents that the Liberal coffers have seen some hard times because business, especially those that have benefited from their PC friends, have bloated the PC war machine.

If the Liberals are to compete, they need to raise money. The best way to do that is to move beyond corporate donations and use this opportunity to rebuild trust, by reminding voters that they know who the real bosses are.

The Liberals should be asking the public to join the party and to contribute their time, talent and treasure to ousting the government they hold in contempt. Make everyone opposed to this government a shareholder in the Liberal Corporation.

Instead of being a crisis of leadership and democracy, this mess could become the nexus for a chrysalis that reverses the dominance of elites and offers voters government for the people!

The people of our province want decent government. They want to have a premier that has earned their hearts, minds and trust.

Do we not deserve it!

Make it happen

get engaged

get involved

and help determine the party platform

And I did not forget the NDP, it is just that they have blown least for now.

There were six Liberals elected. You are getting confused with your NDP that elected five.

Wary Brits won’t put faith in satnav

NT News - Motoring - - NEWS - By MARK HINCHLIFFE

WE’VE all had our frustrations with satnav, but now a study has shown that more than half of British motorists don’t trust them.

The Manheim Auctions survey found more than one-third of users have got lost using satnav, with 15 per cent missing events such as a job interview, wedding or first date.

However, Queensland model and the voice of many GPS systems, Karen Jacobsen, has sprung to the defence of the device which has been named the most important motoring development of the past decade.

‘‘Well the first thing to remember is that in Britain, you must get the post code right or you are going to be in all kinds of trouble,’’ she said.

‘‘Like all machines, your GPS is only as good as the information you plug into it.’’

Recently a family became bogged and stranded for several days in northern NSW when they followed their GPS up a dirt road, ignoring road warning signs.

The British findings also showed satnav to be a source of aggravation for many drivers with 30 per cent admitting it caused arguments with fellow passengers.

‘‘It sounds like good news to me that 70 per cent of drivers aren’t reporting any aggravation,’’ she said.

‘‘I am constantly being told how much peace I bring to relationships because they take out their frustrations on the GPS instead of each other.’’
