Given the text: NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Embattled and oft-injured goalie Rick DiPietro has been placed on waivers by the Islanders and will likely be headed to the minors once he clears, as expected.
The Islanders announced the move Friday, one day after they defeated the Canadiens in Montreal. New York will next play at the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday before returning home to face Carolina on Sunday.
DiPietro will head to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL if he goes unclaimed, Newsday reported.
Selected first overall by the Islanders in the 2000 draft, DiPietro signed a record 15-year, $67.5 million deal in 2006.
It’s expected the rest of the league will pass on DiPietro — and his mammoth contract. Young goalie Kevin Poulin will be recalled from the Sound Tigers once DiPietro clears waivers, Newsday reported.
DiPietro has been plagued by injuries, appearing in only 50 games since the 2007-08 season, 26 of which came in 2010-11.
The 31-year-old DiPietro has played in three games this season while serving as the backup to Evgeni Nabokov. He is 0-3 with a 4.09 goals-against average in his appearances.
The Islanders acquired suspended goalie Tim Thomas from Boston earlier this season, but it is unclear if he will ever play for New York, as he has elected to sit out this season.
What led to Rick DiPietro's downward spiral in his hockey career?

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: According to the Water Research Foundation report, what percentage of water and wastewater utility workers are expected to retire in the next 10 years?
Passage: And the pressure will continue to build, as, by 2030, global demand for water is expected to exceed supply by as much as 40 percent, according to the Water Resources Group.
1. Fully funding the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Authority pilot program that was established in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014, which was recently signed into law. Additionally, allow large utilities to utilize tax-exempt bond funds as a portion of the required match for eligible projects. WIFIA provides low-interest loans, loan guarantees and other credit support for water and wastewater infrastructure projects. If San Francisco had access to a program like WIFIA, it would have saved $700 million for residents and ratepayers on its recent water system rebuild.
2. Passing legislation to establish a National Infrastructure Bank. Congress and the Obama administration have both proposed a bank to provide low-cost financing for infrastructure projects of regional significance. Estimates suggest an initial endowment of $10 billion to start the bank could provide up to $160 billion in financial assistance over a decade and leverage an additional $320 billion-$640 billion in infrastructure projects financed by the private sector.
3. Creating a program for water workforce development, training and education to ensure there is a pool of qualified professionals to meet current and future needs. After all, it’s projected that in the next 10 years, roughly one-third of all water and wastewater utility workers will retire, according to a recent Water Research Foundation report.
We’ve spent time in the tunnels underneath our cities; we’ve seen the looming problem up close.
To protect our neighbors, strengthen our national infrastructure and keep America competitive in the global economy, we need to invest in water and wastewater infrastructure. Now.
Ed Lee is mayor of San Francisco.

Revenue funnels will be the pathway that captures earnings prospects and moves them from awareness of your product to interest, desire and finally the sale. Here is how to make sales funnel to drive sales for your company. Creating sales funnel is among the most essential things you’ll need to do as a company owner, and sadly one of those things that many small business owners neglect.|} If you’re unfamiliar with this particular phrase, the sales funnel is a company’ strategy for top prospects from the”I don’t know you” stage to the”let’s do business” stage. It doesn’t just happen. You have to determine how to identify prospects, qualify them, and then lead them in the purchase. Think about how the sales funnel is shaped. The wide end “grabs” the liquid you put into it and then gravity pulls the liquid through the thin end, leaving behind the residue of unqualified particles. The objective is to drive interested parties to the wide end of your sales funnel so you can qualify them as great prospects or identify them as “unwanted residue.” First, start by defining your perfect customer. Produce a questionnaire for your self that identifies the topics that your perfect customer has.
You are going to need to create your own collection of qualifying questions. You are not likely to discuss this questionnaire with anybody; it is merely for your preparation benefit. The goal here would be to work out of your perfect customer’s needs and desires. Odds are, your company has a lot of different sorts of perfect customers, or prospects. You will want to identify all of them. Simply because a person fits into your ideal client demographic does not mean they’re necessarily an perfect customer. Perhaps Bob and Jane are arranging a marriage but don’t care about flower arrangements. They certainly wouldn’t be on your prospect stove if this is how it is.
The main issue is to understand what your client needs and everything you need to do in order to deliver those benefits. To get to the first stage in your sales process, you have to believe backward from the point you need your customer to finish up. That is how you produce your sales funnel.

“Paperwritten.com was exactly what I needed. I’ve always been so bad at essay writing that I struggled throughout high school. In fact it’s a surprise that I’ve gotten into college at all! I wanted to do more though. I was sick and tired of having my lack of writing skill prevent me from reaching my goals. I really wanted to finish college in flying colors and I needed help from the best essay service I could afford.
A class friend (who’s been getting solid grades throughout college) told me about this essay service. He said that it was what he’s been using and that’s why his essay scores have been solid. He also told me that it freed up enough of his time to study for exams. What a great strategy! I was obviously hesitant at first…but what can I say? I was desperate.
Luckily the website was user friendly and easy to navigate (even for a computer un-savvy guy like me). I was able to find my way and connect with a representative. It didn’t take long before I had access to a group of qualified writers. I told them that I needed help with my history paper. I was planning on giving them some directions but they seemed to know exactly what I wanted done! I was pleased to find out that they were used to these kinds of requests.
I was very lucky because for this particular paper I had been procrastinating. It wasn’t until a day before it was due that I had panicked. Paperwritten.com saved me that day. Not only that but I was able to track all the progress and stay in touch with ‘Greg’ who personally took care of my paper. He was very polite and professional throughout the whole thing. I loved it! It turned out that he was a native English speaker. This was very reassuring because otherwise my professor would’ve been able to notice it wasn’t me who had written the paper!
“I had been looking at all kinds of reviews for days when I finally stumbled upon paperwritten.com. I had a car accident recently when my girlfriend and I were going up to my mom’s cabin and when I went to my teacher to ask for an extension, he denied me. I was pretty devastated and frazzled and I had no idea how I was going to write it in time. I decided to see if someone online could write it for me and researched all kinds of essay services, reviews, and websites all over the internet. When I found paperwritten.com, the reviews were really good so I quickly contacted them and delivered the necessary information. They started immediately.
I have never been gladder to contact a website! While I was in bed recovering, they handled everything I needed them to without question. Essay writing with a broken arm and a concussion is basically impossible, so I don’t know why my teacher wouldn’t give me that extension. The writer I got was a great English guy named William who really went out of his way to figure out exactly what I needed from the project. He asked me questions that I found myself being almost unable to answer, but together we worked through the hiccups and I was able to guide him well enough to get the paper done.
“I read a bunch of essay services reviews before I finally found paperwritten.com. They’re good but they are a little slow. I was late on my paper because I wanted to read it first, not hand it in that minute! So make sure to give them time with your paper. Apparently, they are very scrupulous in the way that they go about the writing of these papers. They assign a writer, a researcher, and a scholar in your subject area. They do a perfect paper and good work always takes time.
Can you paraphrase the positive experiences shared by the individuals who used paperwritten.com for their academic papers?

Joe Taimanglo defeats Joe Warren via split decision at Bellator 195 at Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
"Baby" Joe Taimanglo is ready for his title shot.
"It's gonna happen," Taimanglo said after beating Joe Warren at Bellator 195 at Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. "I'm the only one who's beating the champion. I really earned it."
Darrion Caldwell and Leandro Higo (12-1 MMA, 9-1 BMMA) Leandro Higo’s (18-4 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) neck, and secured a submission for his first title defense later in the night.
Taimanglo (24-8-1 MMA, 7-4 BMMA) shut down Warren’s (15-7 MMA, 13-6 BMMA) takedown game halfway through the fight and won key scrambles to take home a split decision.
"It feels great. It took a lot of hard work and sacrifice," Taimanglo said. "It wasn't an easy fight."
The bantamweight bout was the co-main event of the Bellator 195 show at Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. It aired on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.
The final scorecards were 30-27 twice for Taimanglo with one judge dissenting for Warren with a 29-28 tally.
Ex-champ Warren managed to put his foe on the mat early in the fight. As soon as he got up, however, it became apparent that he was at a striking disadvantage against Taimanglo, who peppered him with jabs before landing power punches. A series of thudding right hands caught Warren late in the frame, forcing Warren to redouble his takedown efforts. With a mighty scramble, the ex-champ finally got his man down.
In the second frame, there was less luck in the air. Taimanglo found his sprawl and continued to snap back Warren’s head with jabs and power rights. Warren appeared to fade as the strikes began to rack up and Taimanglo showed no sign he would allow the takedown.
Forced to stand, Warren found a big right hand that dropped Taimanglo early in the final frame. Jumping into top position, Warren might have hung tough and rode out the rest of the round. Only Taimanglo still had the energy to scramble to his feet and execute his own takedowns. Warren narrowly escaped a guillotine choke as he tried to reverse the tide.
With the final scorecards, Taimanglo (25-8-1 MMA, 7-4 BMMA) pulled off a big upset and snapped a two-fight skid. Warren (15-7 MMA, 13-6 BMMA) continues to bounce between wins and losses in his past eight Bellator outings.

The AASA highlights three school districts, including WFISD, as successful models of early learning environments.
The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) profiled the Wichita Falls Independent School District Superintendent Michael Kuhrt as a model of best practices for building dynamic early-learning environments.
Leaders in three school districts were chosen including Ann Arbor Public Schools, Ann Arbor, Mich.; West Valley School District No. 208, Yakima, Wash.; and WFISD.
The AASA highlights these districts as successful models of early learning environments that are creating a positive impact in their communities.
The leaders showcased are part of the AASA Early Learning Cohort – a consortium of superintendents working to provide insight into developing programs for early learning that facilitate sustainable change for the nation’s youngest learners.
These case studies serve as examples for administrators to improve early learning in their own districts, he said.
For WFISD, Kuhrt said he has a commitment to overcoming barriers that restrict implementation of early learning for three- to five-year-olds. Barriers may include food insecurity, access to health care or lack of steady work for the children’s parents.
Kuhrt said overcoming these social-services barriers is a necessary step to providing early learning services.
Under the superintendent’s leadership, WFISD arranged a summit to bring together all social service organizations. The intent was to provide a better network of services for struggling students and their families.
“Anything I can do as a leader to help a mom who needs a ride to go to a job interview, we can arrange for that to happen. If she needs daycare so she can work, we can provide low-cost or no-cost daycare. We have programs in our community that can help with that and she needs to know about it – those are the barriers,” Kuhrt said in the case study.
WFISD has both Head Start and pre-K programs in the district. The district also has state-sponsored Preschool Programs for Children with Disabilities (PPCD) for children as young as three.
In Texas, pre-K is a half-day funded program for qualifying students, however, WFISD opts for a full-day pre-K program and the district picks up the additional cost.
“We have so many students starting first grade at so many different levels. Some have had weak vocabulary exposure growing up or limited quality interactions with caring adults. … That awareness of the adverse childhood experiences facing young learners, those are the experiences that have gotten me to this place,” Kuhrt said.
Initial efforts in Wichita Falls began with community programs that helped children and families before they began early learning programs.
Children as young as three can go through Head Start, if the family meets a certain income threshold or PPCD, if the child has identifiable disabilities. If children do not qualify for Head Start, they may qualify for pre-K at four years old. Young students that do not qualify for any of those programs, a new program called Waterford UpStart provides families with a Chromebook, wifi adapter and online literacy materials. For this grant-funded program, families are asked to spend 20 minutes a day working with their child on early literacy.
Through the Texas Home Visiting Program, Parents as Teachers is a United Way grant-funded program that provides certified teachers who visit the homes of children ages birth to five years old who are not enrolled in a community program or school. Parents are taught to be their child’s first teacher and workers help families connect to social services.
WFISD employs Dr. Travis Armstrong as the director of early learning. The district has one pre-K campus, three Head Start campuses and Head Start or pre-K programs at 13 other campuses.
As the district wraps up their first year of the Waterford UpStart program, children who used the program last year will now be entering kindergarten, where the district do assessments. WFISD will compare data between the UpStart students and children who received no intervention to determine the program’s success.
WFISD required grant support to participate in the UpStart program. They received $125,000 in match grant funding from the West Foundation and an additional $60,000 from the Perkins-Prothro Foundation.
To address the problem of food insecurity, WFISD partnered with the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank to distribute more than 30,000 PowerPak 4 Kids backpacks – a two-pound bag of food given to children at the end of each school week to help feed them during the weekend.
A summer feeding program served more than 25,000 meals in 2018, to qualifying children.
Kuhrt said meeting the many challenges facing young students is tough. This summer’s program expanded locations where food was provided.
The district purchased a food truck - in collaboration with the district’s food provider Chartwells - that parked at apartment complexes and other locations throughout the city to provide meals.
This fall, WFISD started a supper meal opportunity at high-need campuses for students to receive an evening meal before they leave school.
Kuhrt and WFISD staff are encouraging the state legislature to offer permanent, full-day pre-K in Texas. Without state support, the superintendent said, the maintenance and growth of these early learning programs is threatened.
“We tend to be reactive and focus too much on remediation and intervention later in school; the focus needs to be on when the student is developing. We can have the most impact and return on our investment in the 2-3-4-5 age range. … A lot of development needs to happen in the first few years of a child’s life besides just being ready to read,” Kuhrt said. Based on the passage above, What programs does WFISD have in place for early learning, and how do they ensure that all qualifying students have access to these programs?

Summarize the achievements of the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna according to the article.: Vienna. -- "Ten years ago," said the U.N. secretary general, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, in opening the World Conference on Human Rights, "virtually every state in the world accepted human rights as an appropriate area of international concern.
"Today this is no longer true. The idea of universal human rights is under assault from strong cultural, political, religious and ethnic pressures."
I can report that the assault has been rebuffed. The besieged are now on the attack, and the tide of battle is on the turn.
It is no slender achievement. Practically the whole of the world community, including China, has endorsed here the same principles that, until this week, were the creation only of the 56 U.N. member countries when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved in 1948.
Praise for this should be shared by at least three parties. First and foremost, Dr. Boutros-Ghali himself: Although plucked for the top U.N. job out of the mandarin ranks of a country, Egypt, not known for its close adherence to democracy, habeas corpus and free speech, he committed his prestige to forging a new world consensus on the importance of human rights that would be as acceptable for 1993's 171-member U.N. as was the Universal Declaration for 1948's membership of 56.
Next to him, I would single out the underrated secretary general of the conference, Ibrahim Fall. Persistence is Mr. Fall's virtue and, joined by his fellow Senegalese, Pierre Sane, secretary general of Amnesty International, whose voice from the crowd alternately roared, spat and scolded, this budding African human-rights mafia has become an irresistible force for progress.
Of course, Amnesty was only one of the 2,000 non-governmental organizations represented here. Without them, the conference would never have had the buzz or the charge necessary to transmute what could too easily have become an obfuscating, bureaucratic exercise into the higher reaches of creative discourse.
So effective were these organizations in attacking the Chinese effort to forbid the Dalai Lama speaking on U.N. territory, that the Chinese from then on seemed to retreat a couple of steps, leaving Malaysia, Singapore, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan and Vietnam to do the serious blocking work. But without China, their HTC weight is apparently insufficient to stop the human-rights campaign moving forward.
Never before have non-governmental organizations been allowed to work so closely with the diplomats' debating and drafting process. Despite their complaints of exclusion from informal, private meetings of the drafting committee, they had more access to decision-making than has ever been allowed before in U.N. deliberations.
The U.N., at this conference at least, exhibited more transparency in its work than the overwhelming majority of its member states do in their own parliaments or politburos. Having taken this step, the U.N. should now consider extending it to General Assembly and even Security Council deliberations.
For all its progress, the conference was unable to make the hard decisions necessary to beef up the finances and staffing of the U.N.'s human-rights machinery. These decisions were shunted off to a future meeting of the General Assembly. The idea of a high commissioner for human rights, who could take a lead in probing suspected abuses, lacked enough support to win.
There was not even discussion on a number of crucial issues: In what situations is it right for outsiders to intervene in a country to right a humanitarian outrage, as in Somalia or northern Iraq? How do we deal with the abuses of militias not under control of central governments? What can be done to pre-empt intercommunal violence? How do we monitor and assess progress in the field of human rights, including economic and social rights?
Still, we have seen real and important progress in reaffirming and extending the core principles of human rights and lining up the world community publicly behind them. This is Vienna's historic achievement.

Here is a piece of text: Bryan Rodriguez’s roots were solidly in the south side of Milwaukee, and his lifelong friends are struggling to grasp his sudden death. Bryan Rodriguez’s closest friends are trying to get past the depression, and focus on memories that date back to rambunctious childhood days. Rodriguez and his friends grew up around Kosciuszko Park, ice skating on the lagoon in winter, snagging turtles from it in summer. They would scoop salmon eggs from the Kinnickinnic River to turn into coin at the local bait shop; buy bakery at Meurer's after finishing paper routes on Sundays; play kick the can in the alleys and football at South Stadium; and ride bikes to all points in between. Rodriguez, the 54-year-old leader of a Department of Public Works street repair crew, was killed on the job Friday morning by a hit-and-run driver. It was a job he loved after spending years toiling in a meat packing plant, cutting concrete and breathing hot air and molten steel in a foundry. "Who wouldn't want to work outside after working in a foundry?" Byrd said. Rodriguez was struck shortly after 8 a.m. Friday while filling potholes in the 1800 block of North 17th Street. He died at the hospital a short time later, according to Milwaukee police. The driver of the vehicle that hit Rodriguez fled the scene, but a woman who was a passenger remained and was taken in for questioning, Milwaukee Police Sgt. Sheronda Grant said. Police were seeking a suspect Tuesday, Grant said. Anyone with information on the man is asked to call Milwaukee police at (414) 935-7360. Scott Kuzminski was a third-grader at St. Josaphat when he met Rodriguez on the school's playground during a pickup game of softball. "We'd play football, basketball, tag. … He became just like another brother to me," Kuzminski remembered. Rodriguez attended Riley Elementary and South Division High School. Like many boys, Rodriguez, Kuzminski and Byrd seemed to have the most fun in places they weren't supposed to be, romping around construction sites and jumping the fence at the Kozy park pool for late night swims. "The cops would come and kick us out and we'd be back the next night," Byrd recalled. As an adult, Rodriguez was a classic south side guy, Byrd said. "Bryan was a worker," Byrd remembered. "He realized that if you had bills to pay and children to take care of you have to work." When he wasn't working, Rodriguez enjoyed the simple pleasures of family and friends: grilling brats, steaks and pork shoulder, fishing on the Wisconsin River and riding his motorcycle on short road trips or around the city. "We would just ride until we felt like turning around," Byrd recalled. "His nickname was 'Rat' and mine was 'Bird,' " he said. The last time Rodriguez and Byrd rode together was during the funeral of a friend. "We talked about dying, and what we wanted to do before then," Byrd said. "On behalf of myself and the family of Bryan Rodriguez we would like to thank the City of Milwaukee, the Police Department and Bryan's extended DPW family for their continued support and efforts during this time. Bryan enjoyed long rides on his Harley and cooking on the grill for his family and friends. He enjoyed seeing everyone positive and having a great time. Bryan was close to all of his family and we are having a hard time grasping his loss. No seconds pass without Bryan in our minds and hearts." Funeral services for Rodriguez are pending. A memorial fund has been set up for the family. "When you grow up with somebody for that long, that person can never go away," Byrd said. "The memories will always be here, right here, in my heart." Donations to the Bryan Rodriguez Memorial Fund will be accepted at all Landmark Credit Union locations, or can be mailed to 9515 W National Ave. West Allis, WI 53277. Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: Where can people make donations to the Bryan Rodriguez Memorial Fund?

Spring is a time for plants to renew and emerge, and for flowers to blossom. During this period, plants and flowers start becoming brighter. Everything just seems to possess a happier, vibrant, and more positive energy. All these differences are possible due to the available sunshine.
During spring, the nutrients needed for the growth of plants are often available in abundant quantity. Warmth, water, light, and compost or soil needed for the development of these plants and flowers are available. The growth conditions are also favorable.
Furthermore, the showery weather provides the needed amount of water. Longer days also indicate more daylight. The warmth from the sun will help raise the temperature of the air and that of the soil. Thus, making it more conducive to the growth and development of plants, trees, and flowers.
However, students often find it hard to come up with suitable botanical research topics on the mood of plants during spring. Nevertheless, this is a very important aspect of the school curriculum. As we approach the spring season, we take a look at some research topic ideas describing the mood of plants in spring, how they develop, what they need as well as the risks that face these plants.

An airport near Ha Long Bay will be opened at the end of 2017 to serve two million passengers a year, news website Dau Tu reported on Tuesday, citing authorities in the northern province of Quang Ninh.
The province's vice chairman Nguyen Van Thanh made the announcement at a meeting with the Ministry of Transport. The project has been delayed for nearly a year due to a longer than expected feasibility study process.
With a cost estimate of nearly VND7.5 trillion (US$331.7 million) for its first stage, Quang Ninh Airport will be built on Van Don Island, about 50 kilometers from the famous bay.
It will cover an area of around 290 hectares with one runway, one terminal, and parking spots for four medium to large aircraft.
The airport is expected to be expanded after 2020 to serve five million passengers a year.
A group of South Korean investors, including Korea Airports Corporation and POSCO Engineering and Construction, was originally assigned to build the airport under a built-operate-transfer arrangement.
After they made an exit early last year, real estate conglomerate Sun Group reportedly took over the project.
How many passengers is the airport expected to serve annually after its expansion in 2020?

This I.T. company based in Exton, PA approached Mainline to help design and develop a website that would rebrand and distinguish them in a very competitive industry. To his credit, the owner had a vision of a brand that was naturally intriguing and that flew in the face of conventional thinking. Rather than create a typical corporate conservative website with copy and images that you’d find on any I.T. company website, we encouraged his interest in putting forth a brash, even cocky, persona. The idea was to create a brand and brand message that screamed “Confidence” and in so doing would convince prospective clients to trust Tech Builders to take over their I.T. monitoring and maintenance. The interface designs shown to the left reflect our translation of that brand. Based on the passage above, How did Mainline's website design approach differ from what the I.T. company might have expected or what other companies in the industry typically do?

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: Which airlines will be affected by the closure of the main runway at Chileka International Airport, and where will their flights be diverted to?
Passage: BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The main runway at Chileka International Airport will be closed from April 24 to July 24, a development which will affect commercial flights into Blantyre.
Ministry of Transport and Public Works spokesperson James Chakwera confirmed the development to Malawi News .
Chakwera said the runway will be closed for two months to pave the way for rehabilitation works.
“I can confirm that the main runway at Chileka International Airport will be closed from 24th April because we are embarking on a project to rehabilitate the runway. Chileka has two runways and the main one is the one that needs rehabilitation. Only the auxiliary runway will be operational and that can only take small aircrafts,” he said.
He said the closure will affect big aircrafts and temporarily they will be diverted to Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) in Lilongwe.
“The ones to be affected are aircrafts operated by Malawian Airlines, Kenyan Airlines and South African Airways. All those will be affected because they cannot use the auxiliary runway, so, by the time we are closed, their flights will be directed to Lilongwe at Kamuzu International Airport,” he said.
Chakwera admitted that business will be affected because of the closure.
“Business will be affected. Especially if someone has to travel from Blantyre to Lilongwe, it will definitely affect business. For the airlines, some of them were operating in Lilongwe and maybe they will have to operate twice but, all in all, business will be affected for sure.
“Rehabilitation works that have been going on at Chileka will be completed by end of June and the extension of terminal at KIA is almost complete and we are actually talking of the inauguration ceremony which is scheduled in May,” he said.
Chancellor College-based economist Ben Kalua described the situation as bitter sweet arguing the rehabilitation was long overdue saying the closure will affect various businesses.
“The thing is there is a lot on that infrastructure that has to be taken into consideration. Recently, we saw that one of the airlines suspended its flights there because of issues like lights. So, there is need for rehabilitation of that whole infrastructure.
“In Malawi, we are already poor in as far as such infrastructure is concerned, so there is need to be up to date to at least boost business through the tourism sector,” he said.
In January, South African Airways suspended flights to Chileka Airport due to serious safety risks at the airport.
The closure followed non-compliance findings made by South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) after its annual inspection at the Malawian airport.
The issues included the airport’s perimeter fence which was vandalised and fell short of set international standards.
SCAA also established that Chileka has no dependable fire engine and ambulance due to a lack of maintenance.

Given the text: Apple has pointed out its line in the sand...again...for a patent settlement with Samsung: a "no cloning" provision that would allow Apple to sue come the day that Samsung copies its devices...again. In a court filing published by FOSS Patents, Apple said that despite Samsung's attempts to convince the court otherwise, Apple has consistently included a "no cloning" provision in its settlement talks with Samsung.
This has always been the crux of Apple's patent complaint with Samsung—the iPhone maker wants the Android maker to stop copying Apple's patented designs and technology. And because Samsung's current success in the smartphone market was initiated by doing precisely that—copying Apple's patented designs and technology—Samsung wants a settlement without such a provision.
The two companies have engaged in several settlement talks, both before and after a jury found Samsung guilty of copying several Apple patents. While the post-trial and appeals processes of that conviction are ongoing, another trial covering other products and other patents is in progress, while a third major trial is scheduled to begin in March.
Accordingly, the pressure is on for Samsung to reach a settlement, but according to Apple the company's lawyers have been trying to artificially delay imposition of an injunction (which is their job), and they have also been trying to convince a judge that Apple has been willing to settle without a "no cloning" provision.
"Samsung incorrectly claims [in its opposition to Apple's motion] that Apple made recent offers to Samsung without anti-cloning provisions," Apple wrote. "Every offer Apple made to Samsung has included limits to both the scope of any license and a prohibition against cloning Apple products."
This is important in the minutiae of patent litigation, a demonstrated willingness to license without strings limits the ability of a patent holder to later get an injunction based on that patent. It will be interesting to see if Samsung can prove that to the court, but it would be surprising if it can.
In the end, Samsung is likely to have to agree to the provision if it wants a settlement. Then this whole patent fight can go away [until Samsung copies again].
How does a demonstrated willingness to license without strings limit the ability of a patent holder to later get an injunction based on that patent, and what is the likelihood of Samsung agreeing to the "no cloning" provision if it wants a settlement?

What are some examples of Web 2.0 sites discussed in the text, and how do they compare to Microsoft Office?: Web sites today do more than provide entertainment or information. They help you balance your checkbook, create a résumé and stay in touch with your family. These sites are more like programs that run on the Internet.
Some computer scholars have named them Web 2.0. Most are in the testing phase, so there can be glitches. With these sites, you only need an Internet connection. Special software is unnecessary. And the services run on both Windows and Mac. Plus, most are free.
Microsoft Office is the de facto suite. But its various renditions cost several hundred dollars.
Zoho offers Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet and Zoho Show. These are free counterparts to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, respectively. You won't find as many features as you'd find in Office, but there are just enough to be useful.
The sites are similar to Microsoft Office, so there are no big learning curves. All files are saved online. You can start a document at work and finish it at home.
All three sites open and save files in a variety of common formats. For example, Zoho Writer will open a previously created Word document, HTML or rich text file. It will also save any file onto your computer's hard drive as a Word, pdf, txt, rtf or html file.
Zoho isn't the only business offering. The ubiquitous Google has an online word processor and spreadsheet. Google purchased the word processor, Writely, which has been around for some time. Writely doesn't have as many features as Word, but it is certainly usable.
Google Spreadsheets is less complete than Zoho's program. It is fine for basic number crunching and the maintenance of lists. But it lacks the capability to create graphs like Zoho Sheet.
You need an invitation from a current user to sign up for the Google programs. Or, you can get an invitation online.
Creating a résumé is difficult. But creating a good-looking résumé is even tougher. Emurse helps you create nice-looking résumés that can be shared online or printed on paper.
You can either upload an existing résumé or create one. Creating one from scratch takes longer. But you have more options when done, such as the ability to edit and share it online.
Once a résumé is created, emurse will post it online for free. It also tracks where you've sent your résumé, offering reminders to follow up.
Personal Web sites and blogs can help keep families in the loop. But they're generally managed by one person. Jotspot Family Site lets everyone get into the act.
One person initially signs up for the free service. Invitations to other family members are sent through the Web site. Each family site is given its own Web address. Family members must sign in with a user name and password.
Any family member can add photographs, birthdays or important dates. There's also a section to share recipes and a blog feature.
Web sites like YouTube are great for sharing video with the world. But you may want to keep your family trip to the beach private.
Fliqz allows you to share videos with as few people as you want. It offers three security levels: public, private and private with security. Videos designated as public are accessible to anyone. Private videos have unique Web addresses. Only those who know the addresses can access them.
"Private with security" videos also have a unique address. In addition, visitors need a password, which you set.
You can store and share an unlimited number of videos. However, each upload is limited to 100 megabytes (10 - 15 minutes of video).

For the health conscious, Porklandia does not always abide. Anything labeled “health food” usually exists outside the lexicon of the snout-to-tail restaurant scene, leaving juicers and vegetable-swillers to their own devices. For Nate Higgins, owner of Kure Juice Bar on the corner of SE 44th and Hawthorne Blvd, enough was enough.
Two months ago, Higgins commandeered a dilapidated tin shed, grabbed some heavy-duty blending equipment, and shook hands with every produce farmer he could find. “Around 90 percent of our product is from Oregon, especially the green stuff,” explains Higgins. This is one of Kure’s distinguishing characteristics; you can rest assured, your strawberry blend is not from Mexico.
These are smoothies with substance. The “Greenheart,” which looked as expected—like baby food—was a smooth, satisfying amalgam of pineapple, kale, and Klamath Lake algae (!) tied together with some deep apple cider undertones. The standout smoothie though, aptly titled “Winning! (Duh),” is part superfood (Acai berries, Goji berries), part Piña Colada (pineapple, mango, vanilla fro-yo) and 100 percent summertime. But Kure isn’t limited to sippy-straw beverages. The hubristic “Bowl of the Gods” added some much-needed texture to breakfast, with fresh berries, crunchy almonds, and crackling granola on a creamy base of peanut butter and almond milk—pretty good.
“We wanted to create something you could feel good about having every day,” says Higgins. Every day? Maybe not. But after a sticky summer climb up Mt. Tabor, a lounge on Kure’s wooden patio and a fresh smoothie in hand will have you “winning” in no time. Based on the passage above, Can you provide a summary of what Kure Juice Bar offers and what distinguishes it from other restaurants in the area?

Helmed by the energetic, free-wheeling Albert Jané, Ritme (Catalan for 'rhythm') Celler is based in La Vilella Alta, just north of Gratallops. The vineyards are steep and soils are mostly of the decomposed slate known locally as llicorella. The core holdings are 35- to 80-year-old bush vines of Garnatxa and Carignan (with a particular emphasis on Carignan-also known locally as Samsó or Carinyena) sprinkled with Garnatxa Blanca, Macabeu, and a few other varieties. These are planted in poor, rocky soil and tended and harvested by hand at extremely low yields for an intense natural concentration of flavor without heaviness. In short, Jané espouses a minimalist philosophy of respect for old vines, indigenous varieties, manual labor, and sensitive cellar handling. The goal, in his own words: "expressing and revindicating the quality and singularity of traditional viticulture against the globalization of international varieties and modern winemaking style."
Can you provide a summary of Ritme Celler's winemaking philosophy?
