Destinations are amalgams of tourism products, offering an integrated experience to consumers. Traditionally, destinations are regarded as well-defined geographical areas, such as a country, an island or a town. However, it is increasingly recognised that a destination can also a perceptual concept, which can be interpreted subjectively by consumers, depending on their travel itinerary, cultural background, purpose of visit, educational level and past experience.

Endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancers are the three most common malignancies of the female reproductive tract. In the United States alone, roughly 12,000 women are diagnosed with uterine cervical cancer annually, and 4,000 will die from the disease [1]. The relatively low incidence of cervical cancer in the US is largely attributable to the effectiveness of Papanicolaou’s cytological cervical screening test (the Pap test).

You will need to decide upon your accounting date – that is, the date to which your accounts are drawn up. Enter the first day covered by the accounts in box 3.4 (or 8) and your accounting date in box 3.5 (or 9).

In contrast two thirds of the elderly Muslim women indicated they did not visit the mosque during the past month. This is presumably a function of religious rules limiting access to the mosque for women. Although visiting the mosque does not differ greatly among Moslems in Phnom Penh and the provinces, older Moslems are less likely to do so. Praying is very common among Moslems. Over 90% indicated they prayed at least several times a week. This differs little between men and women but is more frequent among Moslems in the provinces than in Phnom Penh...

Now the argument is that we cannot appropriately appreciate what we do not understand. Science understands how landscapes came to be and how they now function as communities of life. But people, too, form their communities of life; humans cannot appropriately appreciate what they do not stand-under, that is, undergo; and the scientist qua scientist does not objectively undergo any such experience. That requires persons sensitively encountering land- scapes, evaluating them, making a living on them, rebuilding them, responding to them.

given high levels of illiteracy and isolation, the level of knowledge about health risks related to pregnancy and childbirth are low and hardly informed by modern medical practices. there is poor demand for, and mistrust of, preventive services such as vaccination and birth spacing. Poverty, illiteracy and the low value placed on women’s health, lack of female decision-making power over their own health, and social and cultural norms associated with reproduction adversely affect decisions to seek health care and positive outcomes for mother and child.

Third, federal funds borrowed have historically been distinguished from other liabilities of depository institutions because they have been exempt from both reserve requirements and interest rate ceilings. 2 The supply of and demand for federal funds arise in large part as a means of efficiently distributing reserves throughout the banking system. On any given day, individual depository institutions may be either above or below their desired reserve positions.

This publication is based on a research procedure that has remained fundamentally un- changed from the beginning. A large sample of small-business owners, all members of the Na- tional Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), is sent a mail questionnaire. 1 The question- naire presents 75 potential business problems, public policy related and not. Respondents are asked to rate the severity of each potential problem on a scale of 1 to 7 anchored by “Critical Problem” on one end and “Not a Problem” on the other.

A third empirical issue which has been raised is the correlation between stock return volatility and stock expected returns. Merton (1980) postulated that expected stock market return should be positively related with the variance of market return (and proportional to it). However, the empirical evidence is not conclusive. French, Schwert and Stambaugh (1987) and Campbell and Hentschel (1992) …nd this correlation to be positive, while Turner, Starz and Nelson (1989), Glosten, Jangannathan and Runkle (1993) and Nelson (1991) …nd this correlation to be negative.

Al Qaeda absorbed costs related to the plot before the hijackers arrived in the United States, although our knowledge of the funding during this period remains somewhat murky. According to plot leader Khalid Sheikh Muhammad (KSM), the Hamburg cell members (Muhamad Atta, Marwan al Shehhi, Ziad Jarrah, and Ramzi Binalshibh) each received $5,000 to pay for their return from Afghanistan to Germany in late 1999 or early 2000, after they had been selected to join the plot, and the three Hamburg pilots also received additional funds for travel from Germany to the United States.

But unless you’ve given serious thought to who is targeted by your outreach efforts, chances are you’re missing some of the very people you could most help. The reasons for this are many, and complex, but one of the central reasons is culture. Culture is a shared way of doing things that are learned by a group of people. A “cultural community” is a group of people linked together through a common sense of belonging or membership. People share values, beliefs, and ways of doing things.

The ability of this first principal component to explain the macroeconomic performance of the economies varies considerably across the sample. To see this diversity, we can look at the factor loadings on the first principal component and the percentage of variation in GDP growth rates that are explained by the first principal component. The factor loadings, normalised to have a mean of 1.0, are given in Figure 3. Industrial economies are shown with darker bars, and emerging market economies with lighter bars.

Many employers are looking at health care reform and the opening of the insurance Exchanges in 2014 as a viable alternative to their current retiree medical programs. For two decades, companies have been reassessing their i nancial commitment to these programs and, as a result, employer subsidies have been steadily eroding. The ongoing health care cost challenges have reached a point where employees considering retirement, especially those under 65 and still ineligible for Medicare, i nd retiree health care coverage unaffordable even when subsidized by their employer.

For cell-based bone tissue engineering, various tissues derived cells are utilized since osteogenic cells can be harvested from bone marrow, periosteum, and adipose tissue, though recent studies indicate that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs, bone marrow derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, or mesenchymal stem cells) are the most reliable cell source because of their superior osteogenic ability (Hayashi et al., 2008). However, it is difficult to obtain adequate numbers of transplantable BMSCs from bone marrow aspirates, as they are rare in the bone marrow (less than 0.

In the recent past many card issuers have extended the range of tools available on debit cards. A chip on the card makes offline authorisation of guaranteed card payments possible. In addition, bank cards can be used as prepaid cards (the GeldKarte system of the ZKA). As a consequence of the merger between the Europe-wide edc (European debit card) service and the worldwide Maestro system, since the beginning of 1998 many POS terminals and cash dispensers throughout the world have been available to holders of ec cards with the Maestro logo.

The production of industrial chemicals and plastics has increased considerably in recent years (Fig. 3). The plastics industry alone directly employs 1.2 million people, and supports 20,000 facilities that produce plastic goods for sale. With- out the billions of dollars on research and development in plastics we would be without many of the now commonly accepted objects that we tend to take for granted.

Tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and malaria are the three most profound cause of death worldwide. In developing country tuberculosis is a serious problem. It is estimated that one third of the world’s population is infected with M. tuberculosis; however, only a minority (10%) of those infected ever develop clinical disease (Corbett et al., 2003). Such clinical diversity suggests that factors other than bacterial infection alone determine disease development.

In some cases the style of a fund is captured using the returns of other managed portfolios in the same market sector. The OE port- folio is then a combination of a manager’s peers’ portfolios. With this approach the measured performance is a zero-sum game, as the average performance measured in the peer group must be zero. This approach can make it easy to control for costs and risks, to the extent that the portfolio and its peers are similar in these dimensions. In such cases, the performance differential can be a relatively clean measure of value added.

Here's something else about Scot and Monalisa: they both used body-doubles for other roles around then (Scot didn't want to get his knob out in a 3D production of Equus, while Monalisa was paranoid about the spots on her back and demanded a double for her role in Bikini Trouble in Little Blackpool). Those body-doubles -- Dan Cohen and Alana Dinova -- were in another film, even stupider than Bikini Trouble, called Summer Heat. And in Summer Heat, they got their hairy bits into serious play.
