This document evaluates monocrystalline ZnSe as a high-temperature radiation detector. It finds that undoped ZnSe crystals have an extremely low dark conductivity of around 200 pA at 150°C. Spectrometric measurements using a 57Co source show ZnSe can efficiently detect X-rays with a counting efficiency near the maximum value when the bias voltage is between 500-750V in temperatures from 20-130°C. The results indicate ZnSe can effectively be used as a gamma and X-ray radiation detector in a wide temperature range up to at least 130°C.

Very few would dispute the fact that we live in a global world, where local economy, politics and culture do not longer belong to and influence their immediate surroundings alone, but a large extent of the rest of the globe. This context of merging borders has entailed drastic changes in the way goods and services are produced and distributed and in how information and ideas are transmitted. Fashion, both a business and a cultural good, has not been impervious to that: on the one hand, fashion is a multi-billion dollar industry that has to survive in a more and more competitive global market and produce for a trans-continental audience; and, on the other hand, it is also an immaterial good and the way it is transmitted, shared and created changes along with society. Both fashion and globalization are complex and multidimensional phenomena, and the analysis of their connection can be approached by a wide variety of disciplines. Throughout this essay I will analyse what and how has changed in fashion with globalization, focusing on the influence economical and cultural globalization have had in the transmission of trends and the structure and behaviour of the industry. Firstly, fashion is one of the few cultural goods that we carry with us every day and have a role in our daily life, so the way trends are created and transmitted is affected both by changes in the diffusion of culture –as it happened with cultural globalization- and by changes in society. Secondly, fashion industry has, as every other, been affected by economic globalization. However, unlike any other industry, fashion produces ephemeral cultural goods, and so the production of clothes has also been affected by the new model of transmission of trends with cultural globalization.

• Please keep your three-day food record for three consecutive days.
• The days should include two weekdays and one weekend day.
• Select days that closely resemble your child’s usual eating habits.
• Each time he/she eats or drinks anything (meals, snacks, etc.) during the three days, write down what and how much was served and what and how much was eaten.
• To measure how much was eaten, use a set of measuring cups and spoons to help estimate amounts. Also see the examples below to estimate portion sizes.

Healthy food is food considered to be beneficial to health in ways that go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition. Because there is no precise, authoritative definition from regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, different dietary practices can be considered healthy depending on context.
Foods considered "healthy" may be natural foods, organic foods, whole foods, and sometimes dietary supplements. Such products are sold in health food stores or in the health/organic sections of supermarkets.

Social Networking Tools for Academic Librariessuzi smith
Social Networking Tools for Academic Libraries
Abstract
This is an exploratory study investigating the use of social networking tools in academic libraries. The major areas examined include the extent of use of social networking tools, library staff’s perceptions of their usefulness, and perceived challenges in using them. Considerations that influenced decisions to use or not to use social networking tools were also examined. Invitations to participate in a web-based survey were sent to the libraries of 140 universities from Asia, North America and Europe. Responses were received from 38 libraries, yielding a response rate of 27.1%. Twenty-seven libraries (71.1%) used social networking tools, five (13.1%) were potential users who planned to use these tools and six (15.8%) did not plan to use these tools at all. Facebook and Twitter were the most commonly adopted tools in university libraries. Most library staff had generally positive perceptions on the usefulness of social networking tools, but hesitancy among some library staff and limited participation of library users (i.e., students) were perceived to be hindrances. The findings of this study offer insights for academic librarians to use as basis for informed decisions in applying social networking tools.
Dividing the Debts in a California Divorcesuzi smith
My spouse ran up huge credit card debts during the marriage. In dividing assets and debts in the settlement agreement, who should be responsible for these debts?
In California, Family Code section 910 provides that the community is liable for all debts incurred during the marriage and prior to separation. It doesn’t matter whether the debt was incurred by one spouse for his or her own benefit or for the family. It also doesn't matter whose name appears on the bill or the credit card statements. If it was incurred during the marriage and prior to separation, it’s a community property debt and both spouses are equally liable. This means that when the parties are negotiating a settlement and tallying the marital balance sheet such debts should be divided equally. A better option might be that one spouse agrees to pay off the joint debts in return for a greater share of the community property. The spouse paying off the debts can at least make sure that joint debts are paid, because as long as debts are jointly owed both spouses are financially responsible to the creditors.

Article 3. Concept and classification of state property
items
State property consists of state property for public use
and state's own property. State property for public use
and state's own property divides to immovable and movable
properties in accordance with the article 77 of the Civil
Law.
This document summarizes the key provisions of Mongolia's Law on Land from 2002. It establishes that all land in Mongolia is owned by the state except land given to citizens for ownership. It classifies land into categories including agricultural land, land in urban areas, land for infrastructure, forest land, and water resources land. It outlines the authorities and responsibilities of government bodies including the State Ikh Khural, Cabinet, and local governments in managing land use, planning, and dispute resolution according to the principles of public oversight, unified territories, fairness, and sustainable use.
The document outlines several key aspects of constitutional law and the Supreme Court's authority. It discusses the Supreme Court's power of judicial review established in Marbury v. Madison, allowing it to invalidate statutes that violate the Constitution. It also examines the Court's requirement of standing, mootness, and ripeness to hear cases and controversies, as outlined in Article III. The Supreme Court has authority to review state court judgments involving federal questions. However, the independent and adequate state grounds doctrine limits this if a state court decision was based on state law alone.
HOW UKRAINIAN AMBER IS ILLEGALLY TRANSPORTED TO POLANDsuzi smith
Raw amber, which is illegally mined in Ukraine, is unlawfully transported abroad. And it is successfully sold in Poland. These precious stones of organic origin are also popular in Russia and China.
The Volyn customs unit of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine said that people, in the majority of cases, have been hiding amber from customs control in their personal belongings. They are also using specially created storage units that are hidden in the frames of cars. These hiding places were previously taken apart.
According to information from the customs unit, amber that becomes the property of the state on the basis of a court decision is transferred to the “State Storage of Precious Metals and Precious Stones of Ukraine.”

Introduction
Don’t Come
By: Peggy Halvorsen, 2012
If you don't like skipping meals, don't come.
If long bumpy drives in a landcruiser bother you, don't come.
If you are sensitive to body odor, don't come.
If you like structured schedules that rarely change, don't come.
If you think this would be a fun way to see Africa, don't come.
If you can't sleep unless it is quiet, don't come.
If eating chicken and rice regularly is boring to you, don't come.
If you don't like bugs, dirt and sweat, don't come.
If you don't like your personal "bubble" intruded on, don't come.
If you can't hike 45 min minutes, carry 50 lb short distances, and balance on logs to cross over water,
don't come.
Although these statements may sound humorous, they are serious. This is not a sightseeing tour of
Africa. We are about the work of the ministry and it is hard work. So, count the cost before you come. It's
a lousy way to spend a lot of money on a spoiled vacation.
This poem was written out of frustration when I realized I had poorly prepared a team of
visitors to Liberia. I hadn’t communicated to them adequately that Liberia is a very challenging
country. In terms of rating mission trip difficulty on a scale from 1 to 10, Liberia would be a 10.
Some people love a challenge, some people think they want a challenge. Please know which
one you are.

Your life in Liberia
10. Team Fee
Your team fee covers all of your expensive from leaving at the airport to arriving back home. This
includes, but is not limited to, travel, food, water, guest home, fuel for generator/truck, and ministry
focus. Most team fees are $1000 for 8-10 days. If you are planning to stay more than 10 days, you may
be asked to increase your team fee. If you are interested in the overall team budget, please feel free to
ask for it.
11. Food:
Breakfast is provided at the Guest House.
Breakfast foods can include: malt o meal, hard boiled eggs, home made bread or rolls, scrambled
eggs, sardines, mayo and ketsup wrapped in a tortilla (affectionately called “enchalala”) and fruit. Hot
water is available for tea or instant coffee.
Lunch and dinner are flexible depending on the schedule.
These meals are often spaghetti, rice and soup (a sauce to go over the rice) made of chicken, fish or goat
and vegetables such as potato greens, cabbage, collard greens, bitter ball or beans. Also fried chicken,
cabbage salad, or fried sweet potatoes or plaintain.
Tea is often served in the evening before bed.
Bring snacks with you when we leave for the day, there is no way of knowing for sure how long it will be
before we return. Our cook usually comes with us on trips to the interior. She is very good at making
sure we have food to eat.
Meals are usually in the morning and evening. We don’t always stop for lunch. Bring extra snacks to
carry with you during the day.
Depending on the season there is always delicious fruit to eat: pineapple, mangos, citrus fruit, and
bananas.
Snack ideas to pack: Peanut butter, trail mix/nuts, dried fruit, jerky, tuna, hard candy, high protein
snacks, beef jerky, turkey jerky, protein bars not covered in chocolate,
Plan to bring a few snacks with you to eat throughout the day.
Eating in front of other is viewed as extremely rude. If you are having a snack, share with those around
you.
8. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
http://kingwnd1.wix.com/book#!blog/rurmn
Water
Bottled water is purchased in Monrovia. It is highly recommended to drink only beverages that are
bottled or filtered. We usually carried one large bottle of water per person per day. You are encouraged
to bring a water bottle with a filter in it or a filter straw.
12. Etiquette
Liberians are very warm and friendly people. They are quite emotional and laugh a lot. When they
disagree, they can get very loud. This often can lead Americans to think that a big conflict is occurring,
this may not at all be the case. Try not to make assumptions , it is better to ask for clarification rather
than make incorrect conclusions.
DO NOT GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO ANYONE.
If you do, you are inviting middle of the night requests for money. This is not to imply that Liberians are
beggars, but it seems that by giving out your number, you are inviting such phone calls. If you can not
avoid someone requesting to contact you, give them your email or facebook contact. You can also say
they can ask Pastor Peter to contact you on their behalf. This will limit requests.
Do not give away anything without permission.
This is not to limit your desire to give gifts, but to protect you from unintended consequences. If you
give one person a pair of shoes, you may have 5 more people asking for some. Just ask for advice and
the team leaders will help you find an appropriate way to give gifts.
Sometimes our Liberian friends ask for things, please get input from the leaders before you agree to
giving anything. You may not know that the same person asks for a suitcase every time a team comes.
Our Liberian teammates know the rules and expectations, but there are always new friends joining our
group and they may not know. Politely tell them that you will ask the team leader if it’s OK before you
give things away.
Do not make promises you can’t keep. Try not to make promises at all! You can say, If God provides” or
“As God leads” .
Time in Liberia is flexible. The answer to the question of “When does church start?” is “When the pastor
gets there.” No one pays much attention to clocks. Schedules are suggestions for the day’s events. What
isn’t done today can always be done tomorrow. Flexibility is crucial to enjoying Liberia.
13. Accommodations, communication and money
We stay at the New Life Community Guest house in Monrovia, the teacher house at Kpeletyama, and
the missionary house in Duita. The interior is more “rustic” than the guest house.
Communication
9. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
http://kingwnd1.wix.com/book#!blog/rurmn
You may want to buy a Liberian cell phone, approx. $40 and the phone cards for $5. Phone rates
from Liberia to the US are very reasonable, usually much better than the other way around
(from US to Liberia). You may be able to borrow one before you go or borrow from a friend
while you are there. US cell phones do not work in Liberia.
Unlocked phone that can take international sim cards will work in Liberia with the purchase of a
sim card. About $10.
Money
Credit cards do not work in Liberia and neither do traveler’s checks. Bring American money in
small bills for everyday expenses ($20 and less) Bring plenty of small bills, you will get all your
change in Liberian money.
If you plan on shopping, make sure you have a Liberian negotiate the price, or you will end up
paying “white women’s” prices which are significantly more than Liberian prices.
14. Spiritual life
Our Liberian partners are Christians. They often start and end their day with personal prayer. If you are
staying in a room together, you may be invited into that prayer. We often pray when we depart in a
vehicle for safe travels because of the real and many perils. We pray prayers of thanks when we arrive
safely. We often pray and sing in the truck as well.
We like to begin our day with team devotions, although that doesn’t always happen. And end our days
with debriefing about the day’s events. There are often many sad things that happen while we are there
and the best thing to do is pray together.
15. Transportation:
We divide the cost of gas between the number of people going. You should know how much gas will
cost before the trip. The amount varies depending on how much traveling will take place. The vehicle we
use usually has air conditioning.
Time change is 6 hrs. ahead (5 hrs. during daylight savings time)
Plan to pack a knapsack or backpack to carry supplies each day. Purses aren’t very useful. Fanny packs
can be useful.
When you are running around in Liberia, always have a bag of supplies with you...especially a small roll
of toilet paper!
The “roads” in Liberia are terrible. This is not an understatement. You may be mislead at your arrival
because one of the nicest roads in the country is from the airport to Monrovia. However, the rest of the
10. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
http://kingwnd1.wix.com/book#!blog/rurmn
country is a different story. Even the roads in the city vary in condition. There has been a lot of road
construction in recent years, so things are improving. Usually, the main roads are full of huge potholes,
driving on both sides of the road to avoid them is acceptable. The jungle roads off the main roads are
dirt paths. It can take many hours to reach a village destination.
16. Weather in Liberia
Rainy season: April to October
Dry season: October to April
Temp. around 90 degrees year round, very humid, tropical climate
August can be cool at night, you might even want to pack a light sweater/jacket.
17. Liberian English
Here are some tips for understanding Liberian English:
1. The best thing to understand is that Liberians do not pronounce the end of most of their words. So, if
an American says, "Give me some of that apple," from a Liberian it would sound like, "Gi me su u da
appu."
2. Also, a very important difference in communicating that isn't verbal but still necessary to understand
is that Liberians raise their eyebrows to say, "Yes." They only give a slight nod when the, "Yes," is very
emphatic.
3. Obviously, the Liberian accent is unique. This is something that is best understood by listening to
anyone from West Africa speak for awhile. If you are adopting a Liberian child, it would be helpful to
familiarize yourself with the accent. Get a music CD, watch movies with characters from West Africa, or
find someone in your community with a similar accent. The book Blue Clay People is written by William
Powers, who worked in Liberia for two years, and it has a lot of Liberian conversations in it. After
listening to the accent from a lot of people speaking, it gets much easier to understand. If you're not
able to travel, don't worry. It will just take some more effort on your part to get exposure to the way
Liberian English sounds. You can listen to Liberian live radio at http://www.liberianonline.com/liberia-
radio.html
4. There are some common pronunciation differences, like Liberians do not make the "th" sound.
Instead, it sounds like "d" or "t". For example, "this" sounds like "dis" and "three" sounds like "tree."
They pronounce our short O sound like "aw" so "God" sounds like "Gaw."
5. They have different rules for grammar, so the placement of their words in a sentence is often
different or the verb form can be different or partly missing. Like "I am finished" in Liberian is "I fini." Or
we may say, "Will you take me to school?" and a Liberian would say, "You carry me to skoow?" Or we
11. Visit Amazon's Haytham Al Fiqi Page http://amzn.to/1Uaf9Mr
http://kingwnd1.wix.com/book#!blog/rurmn
say, "How are you?" and a Liberian says, "How you feeling?" Also, Liberians tend to use the present
tense of verbs regardless of the time an action took place. This is one of the differences in language that
will stay with your Liberian children longest.
6. Liberians will often repeat a word for emphasis. "He ha plenty, plenty toys" to refer to someone
having an overwhelming amount of toys or "He funny, funny in de he (head)" to refer to someone who
seems mentally unsound.7. Americans and Liberians use different words for a lot of common things.
Here are a few:
American/Liberian
How are you?/How you feelin? or How you
comu on?
I'm okay/TryinI'm hanging in there/Tryin small
or I dry ri (I'm dry rice)
throw/chunk (As in "chunk it here")
shirt/blouse (for women) shirt (for boys)
pants/trousers
flip flops/slippers
tennis shoes/sneakers
okay/aw rie (all right)
a lot/plenty
