One million Rohingya refugees live in the world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. The situation in the camp is horrible. There's a lack of wood, there are no roads - and from June to November, the monsoon floods the camp. Many shelters might be washed away since there are no trees any more that could hold together the hills the shelters are built on. In their desperate search for wood, the refugees even dig up roots. I visited one of the five hospitals Doctors Without Borders provide. They‘re as full as any hospital in a city of the refugee camp's size would be, too. But owing to the heavy monsoon rains, latrines could be eroded - with diseases like cholera and typhus as a consequence. In that case, the hospitals would soon have severe capacity problems. I visited the camp on behalf of Helvetas, Doctors Without Borders and Swiss Solidarity. Biovision Foundation was founded 1998 with the aim of sustainably improving life for people in Africa while conserving the environment as the basis for all life. In 2018, Biovision assigned me to produce a calendar for its 20th anniversary. Thanks to the SKY project, young people in Ethiopia learn professional skills in a three-month training programme. After that they can find a job or start their own business more easily. I visited this project on behalf of the Swiss development organisation Helvetas in 2017. In the northernmost part of Laos, next to the border with China, tea grows on centuries old trees and not, as is usal, on bushes. I visited the tea farmers in Phongsaly for Helvetas. One year after the devastating earthquakes in Nepal, I visited the little village of Marbu at the foot of the Himalaya. The two earthquakes in 2015 destroyed Marbu completely. Helvetas supported the villagers with building new and earthquake resilient houses. People with HIV and Aids in Zimbabwe can get free treatment at the Ruedi Lüthy Foundation's Newlands Clinic in Harare. During several stays in Zimbabwe, I visited many patients of the clinic.Office: Patrick Rohr Kommunikation GmbH Riedtlistrasse 27, 8006 Zürich, Switzerland+41 44 361 04 04MailInstaFacebookExposureDuPhoPatrick RohrLift

Boris Johnson was challenged today over cuts to the Metropolitan Police in Enfield and Haringey. Mr Johnson and the Metropolitan Police Commissioner faced questions at City Hall from local Labour Assembly Member Joanne McCartney. Boris was questioned about cuts to frontline policing cover including cuts to police stations, police officers and proposed changes to the make up of local Safer Neighbourhood Teams. The question and answer session comes at a time when the full extent of cuts to London’s emergency services has become clearer. In the past week the Mayor has confirmed which police and fire stations will be closed. A map outlining the extent of the cuts to emergency services across London has been compiled by Labour Group Leader Len Duvall AM. The closures across the capital include: the loss of nine out of 32 A&E; cutting 12 fire stations, 18 fire engines and 560 fire-fighters; and the closure of 65 police front counters and stations. The closures across Enfield and Haringey include: the loss of Chase Farm A&E; the closure of Winchmore Hill, Southgate and Muswell Hill police stations; and the downgrading of Tottenham and Hornsey police stations. Local Labour London Assembly Member Joanne McCartney said: “Today I challenged Boris on his planned cuts to the Police asked how much will be saved by closing local police stations. It is very worrying to hear that the Mayor cannot tell Londoners how much he is going to save and it is even more concerning that he cannot tell us how much his new ‘contact points’ will cost. If Boris does not know the actual figure of savings and costs, how can he say that closing police stations will be effective? “He is cutting too far, too fast and is hitting the frontline. On top of this he is stripping back our local Safer Neighbourhood Police Teams this will mean fewer locally based police officers and PCSOs across London. This looks like a return to ‘sector’ policing which was abandoned as it was ineffective. “We already know that Enfield has lost 68 police officers and Haringey has lost 37 in the last two years, but the Mayor’s plan confirms that the majority of London’s boroughs will have fewer police officers by 2015 than they did in 2010. All this is happening at a time when the London Fire Brigade and our Hospital Accident & Emergency Departments are also being cut back. This is further evidence that the Mayor and government are cutting too far, too fast and are hitting the frontline.”

The system could be a serious boost for the planet’s forests A start-up company named “BioCarbon Engineering” specializes in developing drones and is going to use this technology to conduct reforestation as a way to combat the heavy deforestation taking place on the planet. In other words, the company is going to use drones to quickly plant seeds that will eventually grow into trees. Their plan is to plant one billion new trees each year. The best part is they can do all of this remotely without ever having to put a person on the ground. As of right now, there are 26 billion trees getting destroyed through deforestation per year. What’s worse is only 15 billion new trees get planted in order to make up for it. This still leaves 11 billion fewer trees per year. The drones will fire pods containing pre-germinated seeds at the ground The reason fewer trees are replanted is because the replanting is normally done by hand. This makes it a much slower and repetitive process. But with this new drone technology which promotes reforestation, it could possibly change this by speeding up the process and allowing more trees to be replanted in a shorter amount of time. The way the drones plant the trees is by flying a few meters over potential landmass and then they shoot out seed pods into them. The seeds contain a nutritious hydrogel and are pre-germinated. There is no digging involved so the drones can just keep on flying and firing out seed pods.

It’s Thursday, August 5—showtime. Another impressive turnout of promoters, and, despite Kat’s lamentable absence from the lineup, Kate and Janell appear no less effective at tag-teaming the charla business in Omoa. Promoters here work with farmers of the San Fernando cooperative, a subsidiary of sorts of the larger Aprocacaho cooperative. Aprocacaho sells 155,000 pounds of beans a year—most of it to Chocolat Halba in Switzerland—fetching a little more than a dollar per pound. In 1997 the cooperative took out a loan and built a processing plant to extract cocoa butter, the rich, concentrated stuff added to improve the creamy quality of almost all chocolatey products the world over. Almost as a bonus, grinding the dregs of this de-fatted cacao results in the bitter, brown dust we all know as cocoa powder. So this processing plant—the only one in Honduras and one of the few in all of Central America—with its dual-purpose processing, proved to be quite the asset—that is, until the cooperative defaulted on its loan, thus relinquishing ownership to another organization that stepped in shortly afterward. Now the plant stands vacant and defunct, but the cooperative’s got its eye on it yet. This is an example where a tad more administrative and organizational training could have helped to improve the cooperative’s business and the lives of their members. So if you want your dollar to go a little bit further when buying fine chocolate, here is a great example of what that money helps support. Aprocacaho is in the process (year two of three) of getting its organic and fair trade certifications, and once these are attained the cooperative will likely see higher profits, and—who knows—maybe have a better chance of reclaiming the plant. Sure, organically grown, fairly traded chocolate is all good and well, but what does this mean from a cacao cooperative’s standpoint? And why, at production line’s end, does said chocolate cost more than the average Hershey bar at the checkout stand? These are questions that (hopefully) should concern every chocolate consumer, from cavity-addled kids to chocoholic moms to the most discerning connoisseurs. The answers vary from place to place, though, so we’ll stick to the Central American regions in our ken—the cacao we know about. Most importantly, we ask, is the costlier chocolate worth it? First let’s discuss the relationship between a cacao cooperative and its status as an organic and/or Fair Trade operation. Within the scope of human history and our history with chocolate, cacao has only recently been labeled a cash crop. For this reason, here in Central America, people are still trying to work out the kinks of the industry, smoothing it out in a way that will best protect the environment, preserve cultures, and economically benefit producers and their families. In Central America, cacao isn’t confined to one or two big industrial-style monoculture farms. Rather, families, usually in rural, lowland areas, produce cacao on a small plot of land, within a sustainable agroforestry system of fruit, timber and food for their families. Since small producers of cacao are so geographically dispersed, a central organizing force becomes necessary to ensure that not only does all cacao meets standards for quality through the fermenting and drying processes, but that it all winds up in the same place to be stored, and then shipped around the world to processing plants to make the products we all know and love. Before cooperatives came around, farmers sold to middlemen, leaving farmers at the mercy of market fluctuations and the mood of the buyer. The middlemen take a chunk of the profit, reducing the farmer’s income. Over the last ten years, more cooperatives have sprung up around Central America, creating organized groups of farmers ready to improve their production and business. This is where the importance of training and organizing farmers comes in. Projects like PCC (Central American Cacao Project, administrated by CATIE, a tropical research institute) hire promoters as regional extension agents to help cacao farmers increase production and improve the quality of their product. As the demand for organic chocolate increases, farmers must incorporate new farming techniques into the ways their families have harvested cacao for generations. Many Central American cacao farmers use organic practices—since chemicals are costly, and for the most part, unnecessary— new techniques must be learned to increase production to meet demand. This takes planning, time and money. Promoters of regional cooperatives help farmers figure out the most feasible way to grow enough quality cacao to meet the market interest. Generally, transitioning from conventional farming to organic certification status is a costly process that takes two to three years. Becoming Fair Trade certified also requires time, loads of paperwork, and again, money. A common misconception, however, is that only organic and Fair Trade certified products are verifiably organic and fairly traded. Labels and the lack thereof can be deceptive. The cooperatives we’ve visited so far on this trip (in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala) have not obtained Fair Trade or organic certifications, yet the farmers still use organic practices and are paid a price per pound for their cacao that is comparable, if not more than, the price earned by Fair Trade and organically certified farmers in Panama. The take-home message then, is that relying on labels alone can lead a consumer astray, or at least away from equally reputable producers of quality cacao. So back to answering the question of why Fair Trade, organic bean-to-bar chocolate, such as that produced by Theo Chocolate based in Seattle, Washington, costs more than a conventional bar from a company like Hershey or Nestle. Or rather, why should a person consider opting for the pricier product? In a nutshell, paying the extra dollar or two often pays for quality, organic farming techniques, and ensuring that farmers are paid a decent price for their product. Buying a bar from a bean-to-bar company like Theo Chocolate or Askinosie, based in Springfield, Missouri, also ensures the cacao takes a more direct route from farm to company. Theo and Askinosie purchase their cacao directly from cooperatives around the world. This cuts out the extra step of sending cacao to European processing plants before it reaches the actual chocolate company, which also reduces the carbon footprint. Thus, a dollar spent on a Theo or Askinosie bar can more directly impact and benefit cacao farmers than a dollar spent on a more conventional product. And, rest assured, these consumer dollars have a visible impact on the lives of farmers. Maria, a Honduran cacao farmer and single mother, was able to rebuild her house after an earthquake destroyed it last year with the money she earned from one season’s cacao harvest. In Panama, members of Kate and Janell’s communities set goals to save or reinvest cacao earnings in order to buy necessities like new roofs for houses, school uniforms for their children, or livestock. Growing cacao is also a sustainable way to conserve fragile tropical ecosystems. Responsibly harvesting this renewable resource can preserve a symbiotic relationship between communities and their environment. So basically, if you are a conscientious consumer who either cares about the livelihoods of farmers in developing countries, or about conserving and restoring rainforests, or both, a fairly traded, organic bar of chocolate may seem worth the extra price. By receiving a fair price for their cacao, farmers begin to value their work and feel empowered to improve their own lives instead of waiting around for international donations and government handouts. Moreover, if you care enough, you can research your favorite brands to find out where the cacao is sourced from, to help decide where you want your money to go, and who you want to support. So, to wrap it up, when you hand over your money for a fine bar of chocolate, some of that dough goes to employees of the chocolate factory, and some pays for the quality ingredients and careful preparation of the final hunk of chocolately goodness. A chunk of change supports the improvement of socially and environmentally responsible production. Another portion gets delivered to the cacao cooperatives so they can pay their workers and extension agents who provide technical support for farmers. And finally, farmers earn a decent sum that will improve their family’s quality of life and help them continue to take good care of their land and the environment. Anyway, back to our story. Following the nutrition charla, Don Guadalupe, the congenial and longwinded vice president and founder of Aprocacaho, invites us to his home for a healthy snack of Pringles, pork rinds, fried plantains and the ubiquitous Pepsi, which in Honduras, Guadalupe confides, is consumed in greater quantities than water. Guadalupe proudly tours us through his spacious pad, complete with caged tropical birds, African art, and a swimming pool. His son, who now works as a United Nations Food AID distributor, designed and built the house after his successful endeavors as a pilot. It’s evident that Guadalupe and his family have worked hard, and their material signs of wealth seem well deserved since Guadalupe has spearheaded many successes for the cooperative. In his home, we simultaneously feel relaxed in the arms of luxury and puzzled by the drastic division of wealth in Honduras, a country where some people can afford surround-sound home entertainment systems, while others are surrounded by the seemingly insurmountable walls of poverty. Our experience the next day is a tad more humbling, since we convene outside a small casa high in the hills, owned by the aforementioned, kindhearted cacao farmer named Maria. The cacao promoters expertly lead the seminar, emphasizing the central message that a nutritious diet is not the privilege of a few, but reasonably obtainable by anyone with some soil, seeds, a little bit of knowhow and a local store thrown in for good measure. Meanwhile, Maria is preparing a hearty stew with a beef base and generous portions of fresh corn, potato, yucca, carrot and squash. She pats soft, cream-colored dough into perfectly round tortillas. The sound of tortillas slapping back and forth from palm to palm has become a favorite of ours in the Honduran soundtrack. Janell equates the sound to horses clip clopping down cobblestones, but Devon argues that surely it is the clap clap slap noise a fat man must make when he happily pats his belly. Peter sides with Devon, affirming with full confidence that there could not be a more accurate description, for reasons that are not fully elaborated. All noise comparisons aside, Kate decides she must learn how to make tortillas before the trip is over, and she and Devon receive a tutorial on the art of slap slap slapping. The task seems easy enough, but Kate and Devon clearly lack the technique, as their floppy disks of dough repeatedly tear apart or resemble the shapes of oblong amoebas more than perfectly rounded saucers. After all the tortillas have been repaired and prepared, lunch is served. Maria’s stew and Kate and Devon’s tortillas are veritable hits. Following the charla, Don Guadalupe whisks Kate, Alyssa and Devon up the hill in his Jeep Wrangler to the cooperative’s new center for fermenting and drying cacao beans. The cooperative has chosen prime real estate, indeed. The sweeping view of the Caribbean is a glistening aqua seascape from the center’s lofty location high on a hilltop. Guadalupe gives the grand tour of the innovative setup for drying, efficiently fermenting, and storing the beans. Kate is impressed by the cooperative’s attention to quality control, evident in the sophisticated yet simple design. The system is equipped with a wood-fire dryer, an appropriate technology that uses an attainable resource in a way locals are accustomed to, in addition to preventing weather from negatively impacting the quality of the beans. Although the cooperative has big dreams for the future, Kate sees these initial steps taken by Aprocacaho as a good indicator that their goals may someday be fulfilled. After the tour, we part ways with Guadalupe and say a sad farewell to our gracious host, Ramón, co-founder of the San Fernando cacao cooperative and the local agricultural extension agent. We then catch a van back to Choloma, where our bikes are stored beside a cozy little office, which would be our accommodation for the night. The office belongs to Aprocacaho, and it comes with all the amenities we could ask for: internet access, microwave, refrigerator/freezer unit, air-conditioning, 24-hour surveillance, and occasional running water. Dinner that night is popcorn, garlic mashed potatoes with steamed broccoli and hot chocolate—all prepared via microwave—followed by a tub of ice cream we kept relatively cold (though not frozen) in the freezer. In the morning we ride into the metropolis of San Pedro Sula, where Janell and Logan hop on a bus bound for Quimistan, 80 kilometers distant. The others follow on their bikes, cruising along the gently undulating terrain that has come to characterize this part of Honduras. After a long, hot slog in the sun, Alyssa, Devon and Kate indulge in some cold fresh fruit drinks at a random smoothie stand along the side of the road. The girls are so grateful for this unexpected surprise that Alyssa swears its existence must only be ephemeral and anxiously nabs a smoothie before the mirage disappears. The journey continues for a longer distance than anticipated, but the group receives a flowery email from Logan describing the quaint little town of Quimistan. They gratefully learn that their destination is a quiet place of home-baked muffins and free international phone calls, rather than the imagined skyline of chemical-spewing smokestacks. With heightened spirits, the group presses on to Quimistan. That night, food is eaten, TV is watched, and a number of international phone calls are made. On Sunday, the team enjoys a scenic cycle to La Entrada, a metropolitan strip of no real note, save for the fact that here we enjoy one of our final tastes of a favorite Honduran foodstuff: the baleada. Eggs, beans, cheese and sometimes meat or avocado folded into a piping hot, fresh tortilla. We leave La Entrada on Monday the next morning and start the day off with the Hill that Never Ends. What makes the climb doable is the gradual grade, and what makes the ascent almost enjoyable is the Sound of Music type of terrain. The views are so green and charming, we half-expect to see Julie Andrews frolicking up and down the hillsides. But Peter and Logan snap back to reality when they are accosted by a feisty gang of rural kids brandishing machetes and demanding money. Peter and Logan call the children’s bluff, but pick up the pace and quickly bypass the situation. Despite a few false summits, we eventually begin our descent to Copan, a colonial style tourist town with uneven cobblestone streets, an inviting feel, and located in close proximity to a well-preserved maze of Mayan ruins. We spend most of the day Tuesday travelling back in time (sans hot tub—that witty joke was meant for Kat, Logan and Peter), to an era where the “beautiful people” have flat foreheads, green dentures and crossed eyes. Our guide through the ruins, Juan Carlos, has a welcome sense of humor and shines a lot of light on ancient Mayan culture. We shamelessly play the tourist card again and again; taking many posed group photos in front of statues and carved stone images, in addition to building a human pyramid atop a Mayan one. How clever is that? That evening, Kate experiences a small-world moment when we discover that we’re staying at the same hostel as Mary and Nora, who both grew up in Kate’s hometown of Anacortes, Washington. We all immediately become friends and spend an enjoyable time together crossing paths over the next few days. Thanks for hanging out, girls! On Wednesday, finally, the day has come. Cycles of Change will make their highly anticipated grand entrance into Guatemala, a country where dreams will come true, much food will be eaten, and a whole lot of shopping will commence! Honduras was fun in retrospect, and the adventures that were had will never be forgotten, but the team is giddy with excitement about hopping across the border. Almost too giddy. Devon is so jubilant at the prospect that she nearly wheels herself into a roadside ditch. She recovers quickly and the rest of the ride to the border proceeds without incident. The border crossing is as effortless as a Slip ‘n’ Slide, seamlessly sliding us on through. The team bids a bittersweet farewell to Honduras, land of rough roads and gun-toting cowboys, where Pepsi reigns supreme, and the distribution of wealth is polarized dramatically. Although we have concluded that most Honduran mall cops and Wendy’s security guards are bossy, power-hungry humbugs with sizeable sticks up their fannies, the kindness shown to us by the wonderful folks in Omoa left a lasting positive impression of their beautiful country. Ramón became our surrogate father during our brief stay and we are immensely grateful for his patience and benevolence. Don Guadalupe’s earnest generosity and his way with words—even when his words often meandered in an endless stream—were also appreciated and enjoyed. But even as we part ways with yet another country, we know full well that new adventures will surely be had, we’ll continue to meet wonderful people and be the recipients of even more gestures of kindness. We know Guatemala won’t let us down. Guatever our expectations may be, Guatemala will meet and exceed them.* *Thus far, Guatemala has far exceeded our expectations… so much so that we haven’t yet found the time to recount our experiences on the blog. We apologize for the delay. We appreciate your patience and your continued readership! And, as always, we absolutely love receiving your comments! Also, thank you Gary and Dara for the electrolyte powder! We have consumed it joyfully and have saved the backup stash like you suggested.

The Chief Ladiga Trail is nicely paved from the trailhead near Anniston to the Alabama/Georgia state line. It is an inviting trail for travelers of all types including inline skaters, bikers, recumbent riders, wheelchair users, hikers, and even equestrians (in the Cleburn County section). The 100-mile combination of the Silver Comet Trail and Chief Ladiga Trail is reputed to be the longest continual non-motorized path in the country. It’s amazing how much is packed into this trail as it wanders through forests, wetlands, hills, a university campus, and Alabama towns. Very few other trails jam so much diversity into such a short distance. And it is so easy to take it all in. Although most people explore the trail for its own natural beauty, others use it as a way to reach the Pinhota (hiker) Trail, to view the beautiful Jacksonville State University campus, or as a way to reach Georgia’s Silver Comet Trail and eventually all the way to Atlanta Georgia. As with all trails, the Chief Ladiga is populated with friendly, happy people. But the Chief Ladiga has a big advantage, and it’s called the Eubanks Welcome Center. Located in Piedmont, Alabama, the Welcome Center is your one-stop location for trail maps, souvenir t-shirts, trail information, and the camaraderie of the staff and other trail users. It is one of the friendliest, most helpful trail centers in the United States. Accessibility: There is a large parking lot off Weaver Road at the south end of the trail. Its surface is unknown and it does not appear to have any designated handicapped-accessible parking spaces or striped access aisles. The trail surface is paved asphalt/concrete and typically at least five feet wide. The grade is mostly gentle (all estimated under 5%) so most wheelchair and stroller users will likely be able to traverse the trail.

Egypt failing to meet protest concerns says US Washington, February 10, 2011 Egypt must do more to meet protesters' demands for political change, the US said on Wednesday in a sharp escalation of rhetoric with one of its allies in the Middle East. Washington is waiting for 'real, concrete' moves to speed the transition, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said after Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit suggested the US was eager to impose its will on Cairo. 'What you see happening on the streets of Cairo is not all that surprising when you see the lack of steps that their government has taken to meet their concerns,' Gibbs said. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak held meetings at the White House as the US and another key ally weighed the impact of Egypt's crisis on stability in the Middle East. US Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday set out steps Egypt must take in the face of unrelenting protests against President Hosni Mubarak, bluntly telling his government to stop harassing protesters and immediately repeal an emergency law allowing detention without charge. The demands appeared aimed at raising pressure on Mubarak's handpicked vice president, Omar Suleiman, the former intelligence chief who is negotiating with opposition figures demanding Mubarak's immediate ouster. 'Never go back' 'A lot has changed in Egypt, just within the period of the last week,' Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser, told journalists on a conference call. 'We believe it can never go back to being the way it was.' Mubarak has given no indication he will step down, saying only that he will not run in September elections. Aboul Gheit, in an interview with the PBS 'NewsHour' program, said Biden's advice was 'not at all' helpful and that he was amazed by the suggestion the emergency law should go. 'We have 17,000 prisoners loose in the streets, out of jails that have been destroyed. How can you ask me to sort of disband that emergency law while I'm in difficulty?' he said. 'Give me time, allow me to have control, to stabilize the nation, to stabilize the state, and then we would look into the issue.' Gibbs said Mubarak's administration appeared out of touch. 'I think it is clear that the Egyptian government is going to have to take some real, concrete steps in order to meet the threshold that the people of Egypt, that they represent, require from their government,” he added. US President Barack Obama discussed Egypt with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah on Wednesday and emphasized the US commitment to security in the region, the White House said. – Reuters More INTERNATIONAL NEWS Stories - Investors monitoring Pimco after internal strife - N Korea tanker ‘leaves Libya rebel port carrying oil’ - Malaysia plane incident not terror related: Interpol - Crimea closes air space to commercial flights - Missing Malaysian plane last seen At Malacca Strait - Stolen passport holder on missing plane is Iranian - China deploys 10 satellites to search for Malaysia jet - Libya says halts tanker outside port; rebels deny it - Libya orders military force to 'liberate' ports - Big bananas: Chiquita, Fyffes merge - Radar sweeps, dozens of aircraft, but no sign of plane - N Korea tanker loads oil at Libya rebel port - Gold drops as US growth optimism weighs - Merkel raps Putin; Russia tightens grip on Crimea - World 'at sea' over missing Malaysian jetliner - Passports requiring probe were on Malaysia flight - 40 killed in Yemen as Houthi fighters near capital - Vietnam finds object in sea; search on - $5bn poll spend to boost India economy - Libya authorises use of force against Korean tanker - Ukraine PM says he will go to US to discuss crisis - Syrian journalist killed covering fighting - Malaysian jet may have turned back before vanishing - No sign of missing plane; Malaysia probes false passports - Two Europeans not on board 'missing' Malaysian jet - China draws red line on North Korea - Saudi sentences three to death for 2003 bombing - First bitcoin machine opens in UK - US sanctions will boomerang, warns Russia - China plans $50bn bank to fund projects

Sarah Palin is a Politician, born as Sarah Louise Heath on February 11, 1964, in Sandpoint, Idaho. At the age of three months, she moved to Alaska when her parents came to teach school in Skagway in southeast Alaska. Sarah Palin’s father, Charles, was a science teacher and track coach. Her mother, Sally, was a school secretary.Sarah Palin grew up in the small town of Wasilla, about 40 miles north of Anchorage. In 1982, she played on Wasilla High School’s state champion girls’ basketball team, picking up the nickname “Sarah Barracuda” for her intense playing style. After graduating from Wasilla High in 1982, Sarah Palin wore the crown of Miss Wasilla in 1984 and was the runner-up in the Miss Alaska contest. She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987. She also became a television sports reporter in Anchorage. An outdoors enthusiast, Palin is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. She is an avid hunter, eats moose hamburger and rides snowmobiles. Palin eloped with her high school sweetheart, Todd Palin, on August 29, 1988, and helped run his family’s commercial fishing business. Todd, who is part Yu’pik Eskimo, also worked for BP at a Prudhoe Bay processing facility. He took leave from the company when his wife became governor to avoid a potential conflict of interest. Affectionately referred to as Alaska’s “First Dude,” Todd is also a four-time champion of the Iron Dog, the world’s longest snow machine race. From 1995 to 2002, he was a member of Alaska’s Independence Party, a fierce states’ rights group that wants to turn all federal lands in Alaska back to the state. Some party leaders have advocated Alaskan secession from the United States. Palin and her husband have five children: Bristol (who is 17-years-old and expecting a baby with boyfriend Levi Johnston, a hockey player at Bristol’s high school), Willow, Piper, Track (who is in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Iraq on September 11, 2008) and Trig (who was born in April 2008 with Down syndrome).Palin entered politics in 1992, winning a seat on the Wasilla City Council by opposing tax hikes. Four years later, she was elected mayor of Wasilla by knocking off a three-term incumbent. As mayor, Palin cut property taxes and reduced spending. She also raised the city sales tax by a half a percent to build a popular sports complex and put more money into public safety. Mayor Palin also effectively used the system of congressional earmarks. She collected $26.9 million in such funding, according the independent watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, including $15 million for a commuter rail project. Palin ran her first statewide campaign in 2002 in a bid for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. She lost by fewer than 2,000 votes. Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski appointed Sarah Palin to chair the state’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2003. She resigned a year later in protest over what she perceived to be the “lack of ethics” of fellow Alaskan Republican leaders, including Republican Party Chair Randy Ruedrich.

Liverpool have started their Premier League campaign in impressive fashion, registering successive 1-0 wins against Stoke City and Aston Villa respectively, leaving them with six points from a possible six. The 18-time English champions head into the domestic cup competitions on Tuesday evening as they meet League One side Notts County at Anfield. The away side have experienced quite the contrast in their start to the 2013-14 season in the third tier of English football, taking just one point from their opening four games. New manager Chris Kiwomya, a former Arsenal and Ipwich Town striker taking his first forays into management in the Football League, did however lead his side to success in their first round League Cup tie, the Magpies beating Fleetwood Town 3-2 at Meadow Lane. However, a trip to Anfield presents Kiwomya and County with (most likely) the sternest test they can expect to face this season, even though Liverpool are expected to make a number of changes to their starting lineup. Nonetheless, the eight-time League Cup winners will be expected to comfortably make it into the hat for round three. When: Tuesday Aug.27 at 19:45 p.m. BST (14:45 p.m. ET) Where: Anfield, Liverpool Watch: Sky Sports, Al Jazeera Sports. Liverpool Player to Watch: Raheem Sterling The young winger made quite the impact upon his breakthrough into the Reds first team at the start of 2012-13, but he has found himself mostly on the fringes of Brendan Rodgers' first XI since arrivals in January and this past summer. Therefore, with a number of changes expected, Sterling will be looking to impress, and his mixture of pace, movement and trickery could cause the away side a world of problems. Notts County Player to Watch: Callum McGregor The 20-year-old wide man is currently on loan at County from Scottish champions Celtic, and despite his new clubs travails in League One, McGregor has been a consistent bright spark in his three starts thus far. Quick and direct, the young Scot has shown his creative side since his arrival in the East Midlands, while his eye for goal—he scored in the 3-2 win over Fleetwood in the last round—means that Liverpool will have to be particularly wary of him. On paper it really isn't even a contest. However, County have been better than their results suggest—a 4-2 home defeat by Peterborough aside—while Rodgers' rotated Liverpool XI could see the Reds field a number of homegrown youngsters in their quest for greater experience. Nonetheless, it will still be a Liverpool side packed full of quality. The likes of Joe Allen, Fabio Borini, Andre Wisdom and Luis Alberto are all expected starters and will be looking to impress, while Rodgers will no doubt be looking for his side, no matter the XI, to make progress into the third round. Therefore, it would be foolish to expect any other result than a home win. Liverpool 3-1 Notts County

As the second fall storm of the week brought new snow to Loveland Ski Area, Loveland’s snowmakers took advantage of the cold temperatures and started making snow. The snowmaking team turned the snowguns on at 6 pm on Friday and complimented the natural snowfall with some manmade flakes of their own. Loveland’s snowmaking crew will work their way down Catwalk, Mambo and Homerun for Opening Day 2013. These trails form a top-to-bottom run that is over a mile in length and nearly 1,000 vertical feet. “The surrounding peaks have been white all week and it is great to see our snowmaking team push the snow line a little further down the mountain,” said John Sellers, marketing director. “Every flake that falls from the sky or from one of our snow guns gets us that much closer to Opening Day. We look forward to turning the lifts for all the skiers and snowboarders that have patiently made it through another long summer.” It typically takes two to three weeks for Loveland’s snowmaking team to cover the top-to-bottom run with an 18 inch base and tree-to-tree coverage for Opening Day. Loveland started making snow on October 4 last season and opened on October 23. Loveland Ski Area plans to open in mid-October. Snowmaking updates are available at skiloveland.com/snowmaking. The site will be updated with pictures, videos, and reports on snowmaking progress. Watch their video at LOVELAND

Level Medicine takes a top-down and bottom-up approach to confronting and reducing gender inequity within the medical profession. Three of our programs – research, advocacy, and the Gender Audit – focus on higher level systems change. Our workshops are a grassroots approach to tackling inequity, focusing on individuals within the system. Currently, we are developing a workshop series called Voicing your Values in Medicine that we are rolling out in 2019. Voicing your Values in Medicine workshop series - Medical students and doctors are frequently confronted by situations where they feel that they have seen or heard something discriminatory, but they are not sure what they should do about it. - Most medical students and junior doctors want to speak up, but they do not know how to handle these situations because: - They do not feel like they have the appropriate knowledge to argue their point. - They do not feel comfortable speaking up as they believe it will lead to conflict and negatively affect their professional relationships. - They do not know what to say and how they would negotiate any resulting confrontation. Our workshop initiative - Level Medicine’s Voicing your Values in Medicine three-part workshop series equips medical students and doctors with the skills to voice their values in professional contexts and focuses on the importance of diversity in medicine. - Participants from our workshops leave with a framework to become more proactive about discrimination, diversity, and inclusion and a commitment to attempt to use it. Through empowering people to speak up, we aim to contribute to inclusive practice and further support diversity. - The workshops focus on gender, but also aim to represent stories from all diverse backgrounds and approach gender inequity in an intersectional manner. Workshop series aims - To empower medical students and doctors to advocate for diversity and inclusion within medicine by: - Workshop 1 (Shaping your values): Giving participants the knowledge to be able to decide what their values are when it comes to diversity. - Workshop 2 (Giving voice to your values): Equipping participants with a values-based approach to speaking up effectively for diversity and inclusion, using the Giving Voice to Values framework established by Professor Mary Gentile. - Workshop 3 (Talking about your values): Teaching participants communication skills to allow them to speak up for their values and to manage conflict that might result. Keep up with our workshop by following us on Eventbrite. If you would like more information or are interested in becoming a facilitator, contact our workshop project managers, Imogen Janus and Maddie Otto, at email@example.com.

Paul Ryan's new budget? Sounds like the old Paul Ryan budget to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "The Paul Ryan Budget 3.0 uses the same fuzzy math as his previous two budgets. It relies on accounting that is creative at best and fraudulent at worst to inflate its claims of deficit reduction," the Nevada Democrat said. Ryan, R-Wisc., unveiled his new plan Tuesday, and while it's expected to pass the Republican-run House of Representatives, Reid made it clear it would go nowhere in the Democratic-run Senate. Here are Reid's comments: "Early this year, with November’s election losses fresh in their minds, top Republicans promised a kinder, gentler Republican Party – a Republican Party that cared about “every American…achieving their dreams.” Republicans bandied about words like fairness and opportunity. They made overtures toward women and Hispanics. They promised cooperation and an end to brinksmanship. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor even spoke of, “an agenda based on a shared vision of creating the conditions for health, happiness and prosperity for more Americans and their families.” The rebranding was under way. "Then a few weeks passed. And the Republican emphasis on fairness and equity passed along with them.

Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on new releases and exclusive excerpts. About the Author C.M. Torrens has traveled a great portion of the United States. She was born in the East, raised in the West and bounced around until she found her way to the Mid-west (much to her confusion). She currently lives in a small city in Indiana not far from Chicago. She tries to use some of the memories of the moves and travels in her youth to help create worlds for her characters to live in. The grand mountains, the heat of the deserts, crowded cities and humid bayous each hold a memory of a time when she was once again a new creature stepping into a world already inhabited by others. Sometimes it was a time when she could reinvent herself and others it was just another short stop in a place she knew she would never stay. She was among the outsiders, never quite having enough time to fit in before moving away Now she does her traveling on paper and creates her own worlds and characters to populate the vast space in her mind. Many of her characters are like her in a way. Outsiders. On the outside looking in on the world she’s created. Sometimes they need to change and grow, but in her worlds they make their marks on the land and carve themselves a proper place to live and love.

Virtuosity (and More) in the Spotlight: Paganini: Violin Concerto No. 5 The MHS Review 408, VOL. 12, NO.12• 1988 click on the cover to return to the table of contents His violin's strings were wound from the intestines of the mistress he murdered; his odd walk resulted from years of imprisonment during which his legs were chained apart by a crossbar; his talent was obtained by bargaining his very soul with the Devil--such were some of the rumors which circulated during Paganini's lifetime. True, he was a physical wreck, experiencing fits of nervous tension and crippling indigestion, and he did contract tuberculosis. His emaciated face looked skeletal; his beady black eyes and stringy black hair contrasted eerily with his yellowish skin. He walked in a peculiar wide-legged way and bowed stiffly, like a marionette. And he did play the violin like the very Devil himself. The rumors, of course, were nonsense, but the public loved them. Paganini's playing, however, was a fact. Everyone was awestruck. The romantics--writers, painters, musicians--were dumbfounded. Then they went wild with praise. Hugo and Berlioz wrote reviews that left readers agape; Delacroix painted a celebrated portrait of the specter performing. Paganini became a superstar, history's first. Audiences crowded his concerts, paying the highest prices ever charg" ed for admission. Fashionable women, overcome by the supercharged emotion and technical exploits of his playing, swooned and were borne out. Liszt, Alkan, and Schumann dashed to their pianos to try to captures some of his effects. Paganini's bizarre inventiveness for the violin inspired not only new heights of virtuoso demands in musical composition but new careers built upon the cult of virtuoso performance of which he was the original high priest. The course of music changed. At the hands ofVieuxtemps, Wieniawski, Ernst, Sarasate, and other violinists to come, bows would set sparks flying with the new virtuosity. Although horsehair would bum and fray, and strings would pop, no subsequent star ever topped Paganini's achievement nor toppled his legend. He, like Liszt, remains today the veritable symbol of his instrument and his music the embodiment of its utmost capabilities. Of Paganini's excoriatingly difficult works only a handful appears in the active repertoire. Two of the rarest are now available for our members via this release. Sumptuous in its aural presence and splendidly accurate in its stylish performances, this recording offers modern ears the chance to assess and delight in the celebrated Sonata for the G String (not mistress-derived!) and last Violin Concerto. The Sonata is really a set of variations on Haydn's Emperor's Hymn, known to many of us who were alive during· Nazi times as Deutschland uber alles. Its 15-and-a-half minutes fairly sizzle, not because of the theme (which is noble, broad, slow), but because of the goings-on around and through it. No wonder the Viennese audience which (in the emperor's presence) heard the Sonata's premiere 160· years ago almost blew the roof off with its cheers and applause! Paganini's last Concerto has a long, complicated, and fascinating history beginning 150 years ago. However, it came to be performed for the first time in the 20th century only in 1959. Suffice it to say that the work's almost 40-minute length contains melodies as suave and sophisticated as anyone could want and an abundance of technical feats that is beyond description in this space. Messrs. Accardo and Dutoit bring to this amazing project no end of accomplishment. Let me urge you to hear it for yourself. Review on page 61

By Louise Nalbandian Armenian Historian LOUISE NALBANDIAN published her analysis of the Armenian Revolutionary Movement in 1963, several years before the Armenian lobbies began to spread their one-sided propaganda all over the world. The correlation between her matter-of-fact narration and the timing thereof should be considered in no way coincidental. Below is an excerpt from The Armenian Revolutionary Movement: The Development of Armenian Political Parties Through the Nineteenth Century. Nalbandian talks about the founding of the Hunchakian Revolutionary Party and its adopted methods. History of the Hunchakian Revolutionary Party, 1887-1890 “The Hunchakian Revolutionary Party was the first socialist party in Turkey and Persia. All its founders and theorists were Marxists. It was formed by seven Russian Armenian students who had left Russia to continue their higher education in universities in Western Europe. They were young persons, in their twenties, and were from well-to-do bourgeois families who were financially supporting them. In the course of this chapter these individuals, where necessary, will be more fully identified. None of them ever lived under the Turkish flag, yet they were personally concerned with the living conditions of their ethnic brothers in Turkish Armenia. For the purpose of furthering revolutionary activity in Turkish Armenia, the seven young Armenians formed what was later to be called the Hunchakian Revolutionary Party in Geneva, Switzerland, in August, 1887.” “The Hunchak program advocated revolution as the only means of reaching the immediate objective. The arena of revolutionary activity was designated as Turkish Armenia. The Hunchaks said that the existing social organisation in Turkish Armenia could be changed by violence against the Turkish government and described the following methods: Propaganda, Agitation, Terror, Organization, and Peasant and Workers Activities Propaganda was to be directed to the people to educate them toward two goals. The party was to explain to them the basic reasons and proper time for revolution against the government, thereby indoctrinating them with the basic idea of revolution. This goal, however, was not sufficient in itself. The people had to have a knowledge of the social order that was to be established after the successful revolution. Agitation and Terror were needed to “elevate the spirit of the people.” Demonstrations against the government, refusal to pay taxes, demands for reforms, and hatred of the aristocracy were part of the party’s agitation campaign. The people were also to be incited against their enemies and were to “profit” from the retaliatory actions of these same enemies. Terror was to be used as a method of protecting the people and winning their confidence in the Hunchak program. The party aimed at terrorizing The Ottoman government, thus contributing toward its complete disintegration. The government itself was not to be the only focus of terroristic tactics. The Hunchaks wanted to annihilate the most dangerous of the Armenian and Turkish individuals who were then working for the government, as well as to destroy all spies and informers. To assist them in carrying out all of these terroristic acts, the party was to organize an exclusive branch, specifically devoted to performing acts of terrorism. The Organization of the party was to be a centralized system directed by a central executive committee. The Hunchaks believed that the revolution could not be won by the participation of the party organization alone. They considered it absolutely essential to win the active support of the peasants and workers. There were to be two large revolutionary groups, one of peasants and the other of workers. Besides these separate groups, there would be guerrilla bands, composed of both peasants and workers, who would become fighting units during the anticipated revolution. The role of the peasants and workers was not to end after the victory, for the Hunchaks saw in these two groups the very basis of the society that was to be thereafter established. The peasants and workers were to protect the gains and interests of the people, and were to take the reins of government and rule according to democratic principles. The plan giving the details of these governing principles was to be published at a later date.” “The most opportune time to institute the general rebellion for carrying out the immediate objective was when Turkey was engaged in a war. The Hunchaks were ready to fight not only the Ottoman regime, but any other power that wished to dominate Turkish Armenia. The non-Armenians of Turkish Armenia were not overlooked. The party declared that in order to better the condition of the non-Armenians, it was necessary to get the sympathy of other minorities, such as the Assyrians and Kurds, for the revolutionary cause. These groups were to help bring about a revolution against the Turkish government when circumstances should be favorable.

One of the more unusual outlets listed on our list of bike shops is Bunker Bikes. Situated at the end of the Chocolate path and just before the Create Centre many Bristol cyclists will have seen the mass of interesting pre-loved bikes being carefully restored and made roadworthy at affordable prices. Harvey and his team can also fix just about anything that’s wrong with your bike. The construction of Metrobus and closure of Ashton Avenue Bridge for a year (a year!) will have a major impact on their business. During earlier stage of Metrobus consultation we were told that the bridge would be kept open for cycles as much as possible but now there’s a fairly grim diversion over Brunel Way. As Harvey says “To think that this is such a popular route and part of the National Cycle Route – quite shocking – I can’t help but wonder how long it took to build from new all those years ago.” Harvey goes on to say “I am fearful that the numbers of cyclists will decrease massively during these 12 months. Plus the devastation to a beautiful and much enjoyed area has greatly depressed me. As a result we have opened up another workshop at Temple Meads. If nothing else I need to earn a living. However I have teamed up with a very able mechanic since for years now I have aimed at keeping cycling safe and affordable – hence Bunker Bikes. The current plan under development is to run both places when the Temple Meads spot is a little more established. Our aim is to develop affordable cargo bikes. Therefore we hope to keep both spots running even if passing trade on Smeaton Road drops. I have always believed that there should be a similar sort of logistical set up for bikes as there is cars. You know, places to get repairs, servicing and parts in the same way as it is possible for cars – i.e. out on route other than just in town centres.” You can find Bunker Bikes at their Temple Meads shed here Templemeadsbicycles.co.uk. They are are through the Arch and along the back lane parallel with the outdoor Car park under the Passenger Shed

Pompey are to follow the Michael Drennan approach to rebuilding Miles Storey’s shattered confidence. The 20-year-old has been left out of the Blues’ last three squads, raising questions from the Fratton faithful. It is an absence explained by Andy Awford as being prompted through Storey’s current lack of confidence. At present the Pompey boss does not feel the Swindon loanee is in the right place to be considered for first-team duty. For Awford it represents a similar situation he found Drennan in when he took over as caretaker boss last season. And he is striving to repeat the solution by boosting Storey on the training ground. He said: ‘What you have to do is work with them on the training ground until they are confident. ‘We had it with Michael Drennan last season. ‘Obviously Drenno is a different person but when I first took over his confidence was low and wasn’t in the right place mentally. ‘If they are not in the right place mentally then they cannot go out there. ‘Miles is the same at the minute – and he won’t mind me saying that – but he has a massive part to play. ‘He is young, 20 years old, he is going to have his ups and downs. ‘He came in on a rollercoaster ride if you like and was really going well but things haven’t gone his way of late, in training and in matches. ‘So he just needs picking back up and we will do that and put him back together and he will play his part. ‘He has got to work hard and be prepared to do it and then when he is ready we will put him back out there and hopefully see a very good player in Miles Storey.’ Storey has made 12 appearances for the Blues so far, scoring once.

Kingston tattoo shop worker faces fraud charges A Kingston tattoo shop employee wrote out fraudulent gift certificates for area tattoo shops, including the one that employed him, for over a year, police said. Ryan E. Rydzfski, 26, of 119 Rear William St., Pittston, was arraigned Wednesday on two felony counts of forgery and three misdemeanor counts of theft after the owner of Dragon's Den Tattoo Studio at 620 Market St. in Kingston called police about the scam. Shannon Cragle told Kingston police that Rydzfski stole gift certificates from his business and sold them. He provided police copies of Facebook conversations where Rydzfski had the certificates up for sale. Police said they also found posts on Craigslist of a person trying to sell $500 gift certificates to 570 Tattooing on North Main Street in Wilkes-Barre. Rydzfski was jailed Wednesday at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, unable to post $25,000 bail set by Magisterial District Judge Paul J. Roberts. His preliminary hearing is set for 1 p.m. on Apr. 16 before Roberts.

I’m not overly sentimental when it comes to things in my home. And I’m definitely not a hoarder. Just ask my husband. He’ll tell you that I can be pretty ruthless when it comes to decluttering and throwing away unwanted items from around our home. In fact, he hates having me around sifting through his belongings during a clean out as he has a lot of trouble letting things go whereas I believe if I haven’t used it in the past year and it isn’t truly special to me or doesn’t bring me any real happiness then it’s time to let it go. I’m a big believer that it’s not ‘things’ that create happiness in your life; it’s the stories behind them and the memories they evoke that make them important to keep. Today, I thought I would share with you 10 of my favourite things that bring me great happiness, not just because I like it but because they hold fond memories or stir up strong feelings within me. They make me feel grateful and blessed for what I have. That’s what makes them truly special. This gorgeous little bird feeder hangs on my deck and brings up some bitter sweet memories. I picked it up on a day trip in the Dandenongs a little over a year ago. At the time, I was working full time and had taken a couple of days off work during the school holidays to spend some time with my eldest daughter. My family was experiencing high levels of stress as my work-life balance was totally out of whack. The day provided plenty of much needed laughs, hand-holding and conversations I will never forget, as we slowly explored the boutique shops in Olinda, enjoyed delicious lunch together at a cafe and stopped at the playground on the way home to soak in some sun and have some fun. It was only a couple of months later that I made the decision to leave my job to be with my family. It was the best decision I ever made. Himalayan rock salt lamp I love the relaxing glow of this Himalayan rock salt lamp. It provides such a lovely atmosphere to our home and offers a calming guiding light for my girls if they get up during the night. It also has health benefits by improving indoor air quality. This is the reason I originally bought the lamp, after researching more natural ways to alleviate my allergies after we bringing home a new kitten. I had never suffered allergies to our previous cat, but after being a cat-free home for more than six months, I started sneezing and suffering a stuffy nose and itchy eyes. It may have been a massive coincidence, but not long after I switched on the salt lamp my allergies dramatically reduced and have now completely disappeared. I absolutely love the smell and mood that lighting a candle can bring into my home. I have one burning on most days of the week. One of my favourites is soy wax candles from Scented Soy Lane Candles. These are hand poured and made locally to me. Right now, I love burning Burnt Fig and Cassis as it is such a gorgeous warming, winter scent. Sweet Vanilla is another personal favourite that I just don’t think you can go wrong with. My coffee machine Yes, I have an attachment to my coffee machine, not only for the caffeine fix but for the opportunity it provides each day to take a few minutes to reconnect with myself and enjoy the simple things in life. This practice has become very important to me since leaving my work to spend more time with my family. To enjoy a coffee without interruption can bring me so much peace as I take a moment to just breathe. Night light bunny This little fellow is not only a cute addition to my baby girl’s nursery but provides a soothing glow during those middle of the night feeds. He reminds me of one of my favourite sayings: ‘The days are long, but the years are short’. As I shuffle bleary-eyed into my daughter’s bedroom, I try to look beyond the tiredness and enjoy the snuggles that await and soak in the peacefulness of the ever so quiet house. Sleep deprivation can be hard to cope with but I try to remember that these are special times to savour – I only have to look at my two older girls to realise how it all goes by so quickly. These affirmation cards from Happy Mama With Amy are a recent acquisition, but I totally adore them and think they will be with me for a long time to come. They form an important part of my morning routine as a way to set a positive, powerful intention for my day. It grounds me and I often return to this intention throughout the day, particularly when I feel a little stressed or things don’t seem to be going to plan. Rolling out my yoga mat brings me such a sense of peace. A time to breathe, reflect and reconnect with myself. I discovered yoga during a time of great stress and anxiety in my life and it helped me to refocus on the important things. I haven’t been able to fit in as much home practice as I would like of late, but when I do I certainly notice the difference. The feelings of contentment I experience during yoga now extend into my everyday life and I feel stronger in my body, mind and spirit. This photo frame sits on our mantle and brings back many, many memories, both happy and sad, that I don’t even know where to start. George is our gorgeous golden Labrador Retriever who passed away three years ago at 12 years of age. He was one of a kind and I still miss him terribly. From the day my husband and I collected him from the animal shelter at four months of age, he became a member of our family and touched the hearts of everyone who met him. There was just something ever so special and gentle about his nature, yet he was also extremely cheeky. I could write a whole book about the crazy antics he got up to! Let’s just say I can relate to Marley and Me a lot! Books, books and more books “My name is Erika and I am a bookaholic”. I have a pile of unread books next to my bed and The Book Depository, Booktopia and Bookworld are among my favourite websites. While I try to borrow what I can from the library I really don’t like feeling under pressure to read a book just because I need to return by a certain date. I much prefer to be able to take my own time, re-read sections and just let the words sink in. I guess slow reading kind of goes with my slow living lifestyle right now. While I own an e-reader, I haven’t really fallen in love with it, but I can see the advantages when going on a long holiday. I much prefer hard copy books, there’s just something about the smell of the paper and the turn of the page. At the moment most of the books sitting on my bedside table are books on positive parenting, wellbeing and slow living as that’s what I’m most focused on and enjoying right now. But recently I have also enjoyed quite a few good fiction books including several by Liane Moriarty. Fijian wooden masks My husband and I picked up two gorgeous wooden masks while holidaying in Fiji more than 10 years ago. We were there to attend a friend’s wedding and it was such a happy, sunny fun-filled holiday. It was just prior to having kids, in fact we discovered upon our return that we had conceived our eldest daughter while we were … sorry, too much information! These masks work perfectly on a wooden feature wall on our back deck. We have tried to make the area quite tropical and relaxing, particularly with the sound of the hanging box waterfall. As I was taking the photo for this post I thought how lovely it would be to do some yoga out there when the weather warms up … I don’t know why I have never thought of it before! A bonus …. my little bird OK, so this actually makes 11 favourite things, but a little while ago my mum gave me this cute little bird just because she thought I might like it. So I thought I would add it to the list just because I really do like it! What special objects do you have in your life? Why are they important and what kinds of feelings do they raise inside of you?

If you are an engineer or an architect and you need safety shoes for engineers with a classic look, then I recommend you keep reading this article. In this article I will answer the most frequently asked questions about safety footwear for engineers, to help you find the perfect product for you needs! In what cases should safety footwear for engineers be used? As a rule engineers and architects should wear safety footwear and other protective equipment each time they visit a construction site or a shipyard, just like other workers. Indeed, in a construction site there’s the risk of foot injuries even if you are not performing any activity directly. For instance you may slip: everyday shoes won’t prevent this from happening, but safety shoes will. What standards do safety shoes for engineers comply with? Just like all regular safety footwear, safety shoes for engineers comply with the ASTM standard Technical features of safety shoes for engineers: - Classic design, so they can also be worn with a suit - Classic colors: black or brown - Flat soles, (few to no grooves) - Often, for reasons of style, the toecap is made of steel or aluminum, but there are also toecaps of non-metallic materials, like composite or glass fiber - Nowadays they are getting more and more light and flexible - Often they’re made from high-quality leather, full-grain - The soles are often made of single-density PU, but there are also soles of other materials such as PU/PU - Often they are not equipped with puncture-proof midsoles, but if you visit construction sites or shipyards I strongly recommend you get a model with that protection On the market you will find safety shoes of all types: SD and or EH What models of safety shoes for engineers should I choose? These tips should help you to find the perfect model of safety shoes for your needs. As soon as you choose your perfect pair of safety shoes, you will be better protected and you will live a better working experience. What do you think about safety shoes for engineers?

There is something about the military coup in Egypt and the ongoing travails of that country that brings out whatever racist and Islamophobic filth lurks in the recesses of what passes for minds among United States right-wingers. Here's the Wall Street Journal: Egyptians would be lucky if their new ruling generals turn out to be in the mold of Chile’s Augusto Pinochet, who took power amid chaos but hired free-market reformers and midwifed a transition to democracy. My emphasis. Apparently the Journal is enthusiastic about torturing military thugs. The Chilean "transition" only came after Pinochet had held dictatorial power for 17 years and finally, to his surprise, found himself on the wrong end of a sham national vote he expected to win. Even the military was tired of him and democracy was very slowly rebuilt. (The Journal article is behind a paywall, so I've linked to a commentator far more knowledgeable than I who quotes the statement.) Meanwhile, in the New York Times the conservative columnist David Brooks seized on the occasion of the Egyptian coup to express his essential contempt for the capacity of brown people, Arab people, who adhere to a "foreign" religion. … Islamists might be determined enough to run effective opposition movements and committed enough to provide street-level social services. But they lack the mental equipment to govern. … incompetence is built into the intellectual DNA of radical Islam. ... It’s not that Egypt doesn’t have a recipe for a democratic transition. It seems to lack even the basic mental ingredients. Mr. Brooks sure doesn't convince me with this tripe that he has particular brains or powers of observation -- all he seems to have is bigotry about an ancient nation whose citizens are struggling messily toward their own system. I don't pretend to much idea what is going on in Egypt. But I do know that citizens of this country forget our own history if we demand that other people who are just trying to get a free country off the ground after a long siege of foreign rule and oppression will pull this off without some bumpy bits. Consider this trajectory: - a rebellious people forms a new representative government and within a decade finds that internal disagreements and populist risings in the countryside have rendered it unworkable; - the elected powers-that-be call for a meeting to reform that government structure, but some radical intellectuals secretly plot to replace the existing structure with an entirely new governing arrangement; - those plotters persuade a retired general to lend his presence to the secretive convening and emerge with an entirely new document; - once that document is ratified, the general becomes the country's new head of state. Yes -- that's a plausible rendering of the history of the adoption of the United States Constitution. (More on this process here.) The more established countries of the world almost certainly thought they were observing a hopeless muddle that was certain to collapse of its own incompetence soon enough. Getting a new country off the ground is hard, dicey work. Racist foreign pundits reveal their ugly ignorance when they try to make sense of events through the lens of their fetid prejudices.

Alliance defends rejected director decision The Alliance Group board is being accused of running scared in the wake of its decision to reject John Monaghan's nomination in the upcoming director elections. Monaghan is a director of Fonterra and a former chairman of Fonterra Shareholders' Council. He was rejected by the board on the basis that his interest in Ngapara Farms in Otago - which is a substantial Alliance shareholder - was too small. Meat Industry Excellence Group adviser Ross Hyland said the Alliance Group board had a "last man standing mentality". He told farmers at the Beef+Lamb Mid Northern North Island farmer council annual meeting at Karapiro the directors were "running scared of MIE". However, Alliance Group company secretary Danny Hailes fired back, calling the claim "bull....". "A person either meets the criteria or they don't. If they do, the board has no discretion whether or not to accept." Hyland said the MIE nominated Monaghan to try to break the Alliance board's status quo. Farmer shareholders should be deciding who sits on the Alliance board, not the board members, he said. "All MIE is trying to do is what they believe in the bottom of their hearts is a passionate plea for change." Hailes said the board had received four nominations for their director elections and all of them received the same scrutiny. "The board went through and considered each of the four nominations against the eligibility criteria in the constitution and nothing else." All nominees had to adhere to clauses 17.9 of Alliance's constitution, which was adopted by shareholders in its current form in December. The clauses outlined four criteria of eligibility for people to become Alliance Group director. "In the case of Mr Monaghan, he met three of the criteria, but not the fourth," Hailes said. This criteria was in clause 17.9B, which said a person must have either directly or indirectly a beneficial interest in 5000 or more Alliance Group shares. MIE chairman John McCarthy said it was astonishing the board would reject a candidate of Monaghan's calibre based on the size of his shareholding. "The decision is made even worse given that it was Alliance farmers who talked John into standing. They asked him to help the meat industry achieve the kind of turnaround the dairy sector had accomplished." McCarthy said that while technically and constitutionally correct, this whole process was a slap in the face for the co- operative members of Alliance. "In my opinion this smacks of patch protection. It is patently at odds with any normal democratic expectation, and essentially robs shareholders of the right to meaningfully choose the future direction of their co-operative." He said the decision was made worse because Alliance chairman Murray Taggart was himself standing for re-election. "It's not a good look. They say he wasn't involved in the decision, but he should have been out front convincing his fellow directors to let farmers decide." Hailes said that was a ridiculous argument. "Their statement actually declares to the world that it is both technically and constitutionally correct, yet it somehow suggests we should be doing something else." - © Fairfax NZ News

Like many, they mistook the first blasts of gunfire as part of the show. But once Andrea Castilla was hit during the second burst of shots Sunday at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas, her boyfriend, sister and friend raced to get the Estancia High graduate and Huntington Beach resident medical attention while staying out of the ongoing gunfire. Castilla, 28, died that night, one of dozens who police say were killed when Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. “I believe it was the second barrage that hit her,” said Castilla’s friend, Shane Armstrong, who grew up in Fountain Valley and now lives in Las Vegas. “That’s when everyone started ducking. We realized that she was hit.” Armstrong described the small group’s struggle to get to safety, an effort that took place in starts and stops because shots continued to rain down toward them. They were near a fence at one point, he said, and Castilla’s boyfriend, Derek Miller scaled it so Armstrong and Castilla’s sister, Athena, could lift Andrea over to him. Armstrong said Miller was forced away from the fence by someone in uniform. “Athena and I laid there with Andrea,” Armstrong said. “We weren’t going to leave her. We finally felt we were comfortable enough to move with her.” Armstrong said they used a piece of fence to pull Castilla toward an exit and eventually were helped by someone in a truck who took them to a local hospital. “I started calling her family right away,” Armstrong said. “A lot of family got there by 2 in the morning.” The group of family and friends didn’t learn Castilla had died until around 6 a.m. Monday because she did not have identification on her and they were separated from her by police when they arrived at the hospital. On Castilla’s Facebook page, she said she attended Cypress College and worked at Sephora. On a Gofundme page created to pay for her memorial service, a customer at the Pacific City location of the cosmetics chain in Huntington Beach wrote about Castilla’s kindness and eagerness to talk with “a complete stranger.” Armstrong said their small group and some other family members traveled to Las Vegas, in part, for Castilla. “We were celebrating her 28th birthday,” he said.

What is Carnitine? Carnitine is classified as an amino acid, although it is not an amino acid in the classic sense. Amino acids are generally used by the body for protein synthesis and/or as a neurotransmitter. Carnitine, which is closely related to B vitamins, is primarily used to facilitate the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells for energy production.* This process provides energy to fuel muscles, including the heart, through the oxidation of fat (fat burning).* Muscle cells that use the most energy, particularly heart cells, can benefit by having adequate carnitine levels.* Where does Carnitine come from? Natural carnitine is found primarily in red meat, so vegetarians may need to supplement to ensure healthy levels in their bodies. NOW uses only L-carnitine (L-form found in nature), synthesized in a laboratory by a patented production process generating only L-carnitine, and is vegetarian since it isn’t obtained from an animal source and contains no animal by-products. NOW carnitine products are the same form as that found in nature (L-carnitine), with no detectable levels of synthetic D-carnitine. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

I've been doing diamond painting for 5 years now and over the years, I've come to realize that there are certain tools that you need to have and there are certain tools that you can do away with. This is a Japanese doll project from Shopee that I would like to do but for me to be able to do this well, I would need a few things to help me out. Here are 5 tools that I believe any diamond painter should have in their belonging to make life easier for them. I'll also link down the stores below so that you can just click and buy when you want to. Knowing which one works for you is important and making sure that you have the right drill pen or tweezers matters because you want to be comfortable while working for hours on your diamond painting. Tool # 2 - Bead Tray Organizer Tool # 3 - Pink Wax/ Blue Tac This is needed to get the beads to stick to the drill pen so that it can be transferred from the tray to the canvass. Tool # 4 - Mini Rolling Pin The mini rolling pin is useful for making sure that the beads stay stuck to the canvass andnot fall off. It's pretty therapeutic when you use it. Tool # 5 - Bead Container Anyone who has done diamond painting has at one point or another suffered the unfortunate accident of having your beads fly out. I am telling you that it is not a happy moment when you need to pick the beads up one by one from the floor. I also made a video discussing the different diamond painting accessories that you need. You can watch it here.

|EUR / USD||1.37976||0.67| |EUR / GBP||0.82571||0.59| |USD / GBP||0.598544||-0.10| The former head of the Belgian Catholic Church, Cardinal Godfried Danneels, sought to hush up the sexual abuse of a minor by the former bishop of Bruges, reports said Saturday. The Flemish dailies De Standaard and Het Nieuwsblad published transcripts of recordings made by the victim of a confrontation on April 8 with Roger Vangheluwe in the presence of Danneels, who has been under investigation for shielding predator priests. According to the recordings, Danneels tried to convince the victim to accept an apology or at least not make his allegations public until Vangheluwe retired a year later. "It would be preferable to wait until a date next year," Danneels told the victim who passed the recording to Belgian newspapers. He said an apology could also be given, adding that there was a "great difference" between "punishments which are public" and "those which are private." Vangheluwe, 73, quit his post in April after admitting sexually abusing a boy over a period of years. Last month Danneels was questioned by police for more than ten hours as part of a probe into sexual abuse by priests. Danneels had been accused by a retired priest of protecting abusers when he headed the country's Catholic Church from 1979 to 2009, but he denied any cover-up. His spokesman Toon Oaser told De Standaard that he had "never tried to cover up the affair." Belgium is one of the countries worst hit by a rising tide of revelations of paedophilia by Roman Catholic priests in Europe and North America. In June, Belgian police raided a bishops' meeting as part of a probe into child sex abuse allegations, drawing stinging criticism from Pope Benedict XIV. © 2010 AFP Stay up to date with the news, without having to speak the local language.

Tivo announced this year’s top ten Super Bowl most engaging moments. This information was prepared using aggregated, anonymous, second-by-second audience measurement data about how TiVo subscribers watched the game, and for the first time, determined not just the most viewed commercials, but instead the most engaging ads throughout the game. Doritos has ridden their unique user-generated strategy all the way to the top, with the spot House Rules, featuring a young boy telling his mother’s date to keep his hands off his mom and his Doritos. Doritos has had strong top-five showings since the start of its user-generated strategy back in 2007, but this is the first time one of the ads claimed the top spot. Last year’s champion Go Daddy didn’t even make the top ten this year. The number two and three ads both featured women getting tackled, albeit in tongue in cheek ways. Betty White absorbed a big blow for Snickers while Pam Tebow took a hit from her son Tim in their anticipated spot for Focus on the Family. In addition to the No.1 ad, Doritos also earned the No.4 spot, giving it two in the top five. Rounding out the top five was Intel, a company known for a different sort of chip altogether. “This year TiVo was able to provide not just the most-viewed commercials, but rather information on the most engaging ads throughout the game,” said Todd Juenger, Vice President & General Manager, TiVo Audience Research and Measurement. “This year some brands returned to the well and scored big, yet other brands tried what worked in the past and didn’t receive as much fanfare. Through it all, it seems the common theme in this year’s list is yet again humor, as all of the ads that scored the highest make people laugh.” This year, the most engaging ads were determined by looking for spots with the biggest bump in viewership relative to the surrounding 15 minutes of programming, offering a true reflection of change in viewership. In previous years TiVo had listed ads with highest overall audience, which can be a function of not only the spot itself, but also where it fell in the game. For instance, last year, most of the highest rated spots aired in the fourth quarter of the game when the overall audience for the game was also highest. The big-play of the game this year, Tracy Porter’s title-clinching interception return, was by far and away the night’s most watched game-moment. Last year’s most watched moment was also a play rather than an advertisement, when Santonio Holmes’ tip-toe touchdown grab gave the Pittsburgh Steelers the lead in the final minute of play.

TITLE: Praying for Patience?!? By Lynette Carpenter SEND A PRIVATE COMMENT SEND ARTICLE TO A FRIEND Rummaging through a rack of baby clothes at Wal-mart, I glanced up as a woman with several small children hanging from her cart walked by. It was hard NOT to notice her. One child jumped off the cart and hid from her, a second was screaming, as the third, a toddler, sat chewing on the bananas his mother intended to purchase. The exhausted mother suddenly reached her limit, and she began yelling at all three children. Shoppers turned their heads, trying to see what the commotion was all about. I turned away disdainfully, and continued to search for the perfect outfit for my firstborn to wear home from the hospital. Rubbing my growing abdomen, I mentally patted myself on the back in advance. “Thank you, Lord!” I prayed, “I know I will never be a mother like that!” Several weeks later, the doctor lay baby Tyler in my arms. I immediately determined that I would never raise my voice at this “perfect” little piece of mankind. He was so wonderful, and I couldn’t wait to be the kind of mommy I had always dreamed of. Fun, kind, patient, understanding, loving… The list went on and on. But oh, how wrong I was! As the babies kept coming, piles of laundry, ringing phones, messy pampers, spilled milk, and tired, whiny voices, all contributed to tying this young mother up in knots. I’d heard it said that to pray for patience, is to ask for a trial that requires the virtue. I decided that I would heed this advice and not ask God for patience. I had enough problems already, why ask for more? Unfortunately, it wasn’t long until I found myself becoming more and more like the frazzled mother whom I had despised. What was I to do? Knowing better than to pray for patience, I decided to focus on Scripture. “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold…” I would remind myself while filling my mop bucket. Then, ten minutes later, I was once more yelling at my children as muddy shoes crossed my freshly scrubbed floor. Already the impatience and frustration had found its way back to into my spirit. One day, a wonderful idea struck! “Sing! Yes, I will sing! Raising my voice in praise will surely drive my impatience away!” I decided. Sorting through the catalog of hymns in my mind, I remembered a favorite from long ago. “Set a watch ‘ore my mouth,” I sang, “and keep the door of my lips. Lord, teach me to bridle my tongue, the way that You…” Suddenly, a loud CRASH interrupted my heartfelt singing! Whirling around, I saw 2 year old Amy had fallen off her chair, spilling a glass of water all over the floor. “Amy Nichole!” I shrieked loudly, “What are doing? Can’t you be more careful!?” Immediately, the Holy Spirit pricked my conscience, and I realized how sadly humorous the whole scene was. Wiping up the water in silence, I felt defeated. Would I ever learn patience? Through the next couple of days, my impatience with my children kept running through my mind. I did not want my children to grow up with an impatient mother. I didn’t allow them to lose their temper, yet here I was failing in that very area. One morning as I was having my quiet time with God, I was thinking about the day ahead. I had so much to do that day and I knew that I would probably let the stress get to me somewhere between… well… making beds and… eating breakfast! Knowing what I could be getting myself into, I bowed my head. “Lord Jesus,” I prayed, “I am so impatient with my kids. I don’t want to be like this. Please, help me today, and…uhmm…well…uh…” Swallowing hard, I plunged ahead, “give me patience. In Jesus Name, Amen.” “Well, here we go!” I thought. “This could be an interesting day!” After starting the laundry, I could hear the children beginning to wake up. Just as I was headed up the stairs to kiss them “good morning,” the phone rang. Running to answer it, I could hear Amy crying at the top of her lungs. “Oh great, now she’s going to wake up the baby!” I moaned. Answering the telephone, I talked with my mother for a couple of minutes, but as the volume increased upstairs, I informed mom that I would talk to her later. With a determined step, I headed up the stairs, where I found Amy screaming in her room. We had been gone over the weekend, and Amy was extremely tired. Trying to decide whether to send her back to bed, dress her, or punish her, I caught a whiff of a foul odor. “Oh,” I groaned. I had forgotten that she had thrown-up in her car seat the night before. Having arrived home late, my husband, Tim and I simply cleaned her up the best we could and stuck her in bed. Carrying the wailing child to the bathroom, I soon had the bath water running. “No, no, no, no,” she yelled over and over. Strangely, I noticed that while Amy was hollering loud enough to wake the dead, I was still feeling a sense of heavenly peace. “Amy, be quiet.” I reprimanded. But she continued to cry. Before putting her in the tub, I lifted her onto the toilet. “Go potty, Amy.” I said. “No, no, no,” she continued to wail. Turning back to the tub, I added some bubbles and a few toys. In that instant, Amy hopped off the toilet, and soon there was what every mommy dreads. A little puddle forming around her ankles. “No, Amy!” I again responded, still with this ethereal peace surrounding me. “You may not act like that!” Placing her once more on the toilet, I stepped over the puddle to find something to clean up the mess. Downstairs I grabbed the mop. As I headed back to the bathroom, I noticed a leak coming from under the washer, heard the dryer buzzing, tripped over a football helmet lying on the kitchen floor, and stumbled up the stairs once more where Amy continued to cry the cry of a thoroughly exhausted and angry child. As I turned the corner into the bathroom, Amy saw me and lunged forward, falling off the potty, and landed face down in the very puddle I was intending to clean up. “That should do it, God.” I cried out desperately. “I’m catching on!” Yes, God was teaching me patience! But through it all, He helped me! He wasn’t throwing problems at me, and leaving me on my own. Where once I would have felt a knot of frustration growing bigger and bigger in my stomach, I was, instead, experiencing peace, sweet peace. I still had the regular (and a few irregular) day-to-day frustrations, but my impatience was gone. I found it interesting that several days before, I had snapped over a cup of spilled WATER, but today, felt at peace over a screaming child, broken appliances, and messes on the bathroom floor. As I crawled into bed that night, I told my husband Tim about the events of the day. “I’m not afraid to pray for patience anymore,” I told him. “I would much rather be a mother who stays calm when everything is going wrong, than to lose my temper over every little irritation.” Rolling over, I added, “You know, I think I’ll pray for patience again tomorrow.” The opinions expressed by authors may not necessarily reflect the opinion of FaithWriters.com.

Filipino cardinal sees challenge of bucking secular influences, supporting family life October 25, 2013 Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila told Vatican Radio that secularizing trends are having a powerful effect on society in the Philippines. The “traditional values that have kept families together” still hold sway in the Philippines, the cardinal said, but “they are beginning to see the effects of secularization and the media.” He said that the Church faces the challenge of strengthening appreciation for the importance of healthy family life. The task is somewhat eased, he said, by the fact that while Filipinos appreciate the material success of modern society, they are “very much aware of the ambivalence of the success and the wounds that this has inflicted on individuals and families.” - Cardinal Tagle: The ambivalence of our society's success and its wounds on the family (Vatican Radio) All comments are moderated.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) was all geared up to provide all-out support and facilities to the athletes in preparations for the 19th Asian Games to take place in Hangzhou, China in September. In this regard, the Director General PSB, Shoaib Khoso, and Secretary General of Pakistan Olympics Association (POA), Mohammad Khalid Mahmood, discussed important matters in a meeting held here at the Pakistan Sports Board on Thursday. The focus of the discussion was to ensure the seamless participation of the Pakistan contingent in the Asian Games. Around 305 athletes both male and female would be participating in the 19th Asian Games. To support the talented athletes, the contingent has been thoughtfully divided into three groups. The first group was receiving full support from the PSB while the second is partially supported and the third group benefits from the backing of the POA. This comprehensive approach aims to provide the best possible resources and assistance to our athletes as they represent our nation on this grand stage. A noteworthy aspect of our contingent was the significant participation of women athletes, a source of immense pride for our country as their dedication and achievements inspire us all. The Asian Games, commencing on September 23 would witness a strong representation from team Pakistan, with the volleyball team being the first to depart on September 14, followed by teams in Kabaddi and hockey. Our athletes are no strangers to success, with many having secured medals in previous competitions, showcasing their exceptional talents. Our shooting, Kabaddi and athletics teams have great potential to secure medals in the 19th Asian Games. The Pakistan Hockey team, in particular, is under the spotlight, carrying the hopes of the nation with the potential to secure a victory that would propel them toward the highly esteemed Paris Olympics. The cricket and volleyball teams also hold a high chance of clinching victory, adding to our nation’s pride. (APP)

AbstractTo strengthen and further develop health information in Kerala, the state decided to implement a robust Health Management Information System (HMIS) and to switch to electronic reporting from facility level up to state level. The software application to use is called District Health Information System (DHIS2) and is developed by Health Information System Project (HISP), a global action research project. The change represented a large scale implementation and was a challenge with respect to capacity building and training to make the new system up and go. To overcome the challenges, a two year scaling period was decided and 10-12,000 health staff was given initial training in two or three days to learn the new routines. The thesis evaluates the user learning and capacity building in the first part of the period in Trivandrum district with the following research questions:1) What were the results of the training and support? How did the results compare to the aims?2) Why did these results come about concerning project activities and how did social, political and cultural elements influence competence building?3) How do these results compare with other experiences? To be able to answer these questions I used triangulation in the methodology, observations and conversations at training courses, interviews and group interview, fieldtrips and questionnaires.Findings related were:1. The course was too short for most of the participants. They did not learn how to operate the software, but they learned about it. 2. Causes: Many of the attendants were not IT literate from before and found the exercises difficult. The length of the training day was too long. The time gap from training course to work place practice was too long. Gender and age played a role.3. Most of the respondents were positive to the implementation, but for the majority, perceived usefulness rested in the benefit of easier reporting and reduced workload for their own job, not quality of data and information for action in the health service management. In a similar action research project from Zanzibar they found that a combination of initial training followed up by in-service support gave positive results. Key words: Implementation, Health Information, Organizational learning, User learning, Super users, Communities of practice, Kerala,

All the online writers call themselves ‘writers’. But are they truly good helpers to pay for assistance? You should know that there are good and bad writers, and if you buy a poor service, it can cost you a lot. Some people claim to have the ability to write custom papers for the other people on their computer science class homework, but they do not even know how to tackle it. This is because they have not attended any college or school. Paying them, they will help you with your ‘do my homework for me’ request, but will give you a paper that will earn a poor grade. So, you have to be quite careful with these people, and even if you see that the writer is a native UK speaker, you should remember that it may be just a trap. Now, you might be willing to ask, ‘how will I know that someone is a good essay writer?’ No one will tell you how good writers look like? You just have to make sure that you have paid the best helper who will do his/her best to deliver a quality work. If you need to hire a writer, look at his/her characteristics and previous feedback. If you realize that they have any of the following habits, you should avoid hiring them. 1. Poor Quality of Their Previous Works If there is a sample dissertation or some essays that the writer has been doing, look at them carefully. Check on the quality of the grammar and language. How are sentences constructed in the work? If there is poor construction of sentences and poor spelling, avoid them altogether. 2. Negative Reviews by the Other Clients If the writer was hired, and then he/she delivered a poor quality work to the client, do not risk your paper. Look for another fellow who can help you with writing your piece. 3. Poor Language of the Writer Before you give an assignment to the writer. You have to discuss the project in detail, so that the writer can understand it very well. It will provide you the opportunity to examine the language of the writer. Do they have the ability to communicate in a language that you can understand? There is no difference between how they are writing while communicating and what they will write in your paper. 4. Read the Proposal of the Job Before you assign the helper, ask yourself some questions about the proposal. Is it obvious? Does it capture the information that was in the job post? Some bad writers keep in copy pasting the same job proposal instead of spending their time on writing a new one. Avoid such writers! They will provide you with a poor work. Some academic writers are fond of plagiarizing most of their works. That clearly shows you that the writer is not ready to spend his/her time on your work. 6. Awareness in the Field Remember that you are a computer science student, and you want your assignment to be completed by an expert. Ask them relevant questions about computers. If they are not able to answer your questions, then you should look for someone else. Some writers do not have respect. Such writers use language that is not respective. If they answer your questions in a rude manner, avoid them altogether. Do not make a mistake of hiring the writers who have the above characteristics as they can deliver poor quality works to you. You will not get the best grade that you might have planned. You can even hire writing experts whose services are cheap, but they are trustworthy, and you will know that they are helping you not just for money. So, please, make sure that you are dealing with a person who will treat your assignments, and you will not have to edit them.

“I used to not have a problem putting myself out there,” my friend Randi said. “I’d go out, date guys, no problem. But then I got in to the more geeky side of things and when I’d flirt with guys they’d get this deer in the headlights look and I’d get self-conscious and now it’s been a while since I’ve been out on a date. I guess I’ve just forgotten how to flirt.” I’ve had conversations like this with many of my friends in their forties and fifties. They used to date, they want to date, but somehow they just stopped dating. And they aren’t sure why or if they are really ready to do something about it. “Where do you ideally see yourself in 10 years?” I recently asked my friend Dave. “Do you picture yourself with someone? Or do you see yourself alone? What would make you happy?” “It depends,” he confessed. “Some days I see it one way, other times I see it the other.” I’ve never pictured myself alone. I’m not afraid to be alone; I would just prefer not to be. Yet the older we get, the more often I see my friends operating on a solo flight through life. Some choose that path; others just accept it as their fate. Like many things, I think the opportunities to find that someone change as we get older. In high school or college you had parties and activities and a seemingly endless pool of candidates. As an adult, you have smaller pools with more complicated consequences – you don’t want to date where you work, make things awkward amongst your friends, run in to them at your favorite hangouts, or be the creepy person in the grocery store trolling the produce aisle for melons and a phone number. Plus, there is the rejection. There is always someone prettier, younger, richer, more successful, thinner. We feel broken compared to them. And then there is the fear: why does this person like me? What’s wrong with them? Why are they still single? They must be broken, too. “We are all broken,” Rocker points out to me a lot. “When you get to be our age, you are going to have a few nicks and dings and cracks. What you have to see is if both your broken bits work together or just make each of you worse.” I kind of like that. In my head, I picture a wheel of four hands, each one holding together the broken bits of the other person’s spoke. I’ll have strength to cover you here, you have strength to cover me there. Together, holding hands, we’ll get through this journey. I fail a lot. I look back at the past year and the men I’ve dated and the reasons why things didn’t work out. I’ve been lied to, cheated on, stolen from, and sugar momma’ed (is that a word?). I’ve flirted with men who patted me on the head and walked away. I’ve had others not even respond. But I’ve also made some great friends, had some fond memories, and told some funny stories. I’m not a natural at this dating thing – I’m sometimes worse than a noob. But I keep trying. It’s worth it, y’know. Putting yourself out there. I know I’m in a good place right now, so it’s easier for me to say that. But this blog proves I’ve been in bad places too. You have to keep trying – working at it – failing at it – and trying again. May we all find someone else to hold hands with.

Let me try a simple minded answer. Longer or larger hose equal more volume. As long as the leak rate or amount of air you are using remains constant it will make no change. Breathing in and out is not constant air flow. The longer or larger hose with more volume will act as a shock absorbent to soften the pules that the cpap equipment senses. How sensitive is the cpap to this softer pulse of pressure ? I have no idea. I use an extra long hose and have for several adjustments of pressure. When I went to the long hose I did not see any change in my data. All of my improvements have been with raising the pressure and adding oxygen to the mix. By improvements I am saying the cpap data reporting and the way I feel. I use the data from the cpap to help me understand what I feel. If I feel better or worse I look for changes in the data to help me guess at the cause and effect. I am not a doctor only a person practicing living better.

DALLAS — Two of the best wings in the game play together on the same team but it's rare that Dwyane Wade and LeBron James go against each other one-on-one in practice. Thursday morning offered the rare exception. "This time of the season it won't be too often, so the only time it would be is in shootarounds when we want to get better," Wade said. Wade and James spent about 15 minutes after Thursday's shootaround at American Airlines Center working together on post moves. The one-on-one session lasted so long that eventually the Dallas Mavericks forced them off the court for their shootaround. "We don't play until 8:30, so we wanted to get a little work in," Wade said. "When you help each other out with certain things that you see throughout the game, it helps a lot. We both will take it into the game, so certain things that I had seen when he was posting up that felt that maybe he could look at it this way and vice versa. "It's good to have a guy like that and him have me, to where we can coach each other and tell each other certain things." TONIGHT'S GAME: Miami Heat (16-6) at Dallas Mavericks (12-13) TIME: 9:30 p.m. WHERE: American Airlines Center TV: TNT (Marv Albert, Steve Kerr, Mike Fratello, Craig Sager) RADIO: AM 790/104.3 FM & The HEAT Radio Network (Mike Inglis) SPANISH RADIO: WAQI 710AM (José Pañeda) The Heat is 22-29 all-time vs. the Mavericks, including 10-15 in Dallas. Miami is 4-4 on the road this season after losing to the Wizards in its last road game. "Last time we were on the road in Washington we lost," Wade said. "Our job is to come in here and play better defensively than we did at home. It's a tough task but this is what grows our team—what helps us become a championship-caliber team. It's road wins and road games, so we look forward to it." The Mavericks (12-13) have been without Dirk Nowitzki (right knee surgery) throughout the season and veteran guard Derek Fisher (strained right knee) is out as well. Elton Brand (right groin strain) and Brandan Wright (sprained right ankle) are questionable. "We've got to have a good start," Wade said. "Obviously, at home sometimes you come out with a slow start and your crowd can get you back into it. On the road, you don't have that. So, it's about coming out and having a good start and setting the tone defensively and hopefully offensively getting into a groove early." Wade is shooting .655 (38 of 58) over his last five games.

Everybody in the racing world is still squawking about the May auction in which a Chinese buyer paid $400,000 for a retired Belgian champion who isnt even eligible for competition any more. Everybody in the pigeon racing world, that is. Bolt, a year-old champion bird, beat the previous record price of $322,000. Once he arrives in China, hell be used exclusively for breeding purposes. A similar fate probably awaits Kimi Raikkonnen once he retires from Formula One a second time , but its best not to think too much about that. Clearly, fast birds are big business. But were more partial to the wings that attach to improbably fast racing cars, so weve come up with five retired racers that'll blow the feathers off any bird in history and still cost less than that champion pigeon.

April 16th, 2010, 03:40 PM I've been reading a few things on free feeding dogs. Some say it makes your dog more easy to train and it feels secure, others say the dog gets fat. The breeder I got my puppy from, free feeds all of her working dogs. I've free fed my cat for 5 years and he is perfect size and SUPER healthy. What are your opinions on the matter? April 16th, 2010, 03:45 PM out of all my dogs I've owned and all my fosters I've only had one that I could not free feed, she was a purebred beagle that would eat till she burst (including 5-8 pounds of chocolate stolen from a garbage) *L*. my labx I have now will somedays empty her bowl and at other times her 3 cups will sit for a couple days...so its actually an individual choice. April 16th, 2010, 03:49 PM I'm not a fan, but I guess it depends on the dog in question. If I free fed the Bassets' they would look like blimps. On the other hand, my daughter's dog a Husky X would probably be fine, sometimes he goes all day and just smells his food and walks away :rolleyes: April 16th, 2010, 04:27 PM Besides the issue of possible overeating, problems can arise as well with the dog believing the floor is feeding it not you, so there is a loss in the bonding aspect of being the provider of food. April 16th, 2010, 04:31 PM What if you put a certain amount of food in the bowl each morning, say 4 cups and the dog can eat it throughout the day. You're still feeding the dog just once though??? April 16th, 2010, 06:02 PM The smaller the breed the better it is for them to free-feed as they tend to nibble 3-4 times a day and are more susceptible to hypoglycemia. I have found that if the dog knows food is always available then will only eat what they need rather than devouring everything when only fed once a day but free-feeding has to start when they're tiny puppies. April 16th, 2010, 06:28 PM My (30lb) Shiba Inu is free-fed. He is not a hungry dog and often doesn't even touch the bowl until after 5-7pm (even if he's been at daycare all day [he refuses food], or playing outside for hours). Some dogs will gorge and get fat, some won't. I guess it is like people- some people will just eat their fill and move on, others will enjoy the whole bowl and go for more even when their tummies can't handle it :laughing: April 16th, 2010, 07:26 PM Scruffy gets about a cup of kibble in his bowl before bed. If he's hungry at night or during the day, it's there for him. He knows where his food comes from. Mom gives him his raw, his bones, his treats, his canned, all his good stuff comes from mom. He doesn't have an ounce of fat on him but he gets lots of exercise too. THat doesn't work for all dogs though. Some would get fat if they had food around all the time. Try it and see what works for your pup. April 16th, 2010, 09:47 PM The dogs that I've had were all meal fed. The thing I don't like about free feeding is if you travel with your dog whether it's a long car/plane ride or staying at family/friends/hotel/camping - will the dog eat their full daily portion? Some will not eat in a strange environment, or you may not be able to have food out all the time in the car/on the plane etc :shrug: April 17th, 2010, 12:24 AM I free fed for years, but now prefer scheduled meal times. My first dog was free fed from the day we brought him home. He maintained a good weight and typically would choose to eat around midnight each night. I'd listen to him crunch as I went to sleep. Our rescue was over weight when we got her. We still free fed. She didn't gain weight, but she didn't lose weight either. The night she got sick and needed emergency spleen removal surgery, I remember the ER vet asking about her eating habits over the previous few days. With two dogs, I really had no idea how much she typically ate. I did notice a drop off in the food missing from the bowl, but I could not accurately tell how much she had eaten. She was very sick and we came within a hair of losing her that night. Not only did I change to scheduled feedings, I measured the food with measuring cups. I feel that I could quickly notice any changes in appetite and pick up on potential health problems much sooner. I feed my current dog a.m. and a p.m. meals. It makes me happy to see her dance for joy for her food and to pick up a clean plate. I also can reinforce some of her training. She will sit and wait for me to tell her to take her food. Feeding is a personal choice. But as someone who has tried both ways, I really advocate scheduled and measured meals. April 17th, 2010, 07:29 AM With one dog it might be easier to just put the food out and leave it, but with multiple dogs that doesn't work so well. You can't monitor what amount each dog is eating. For me personally, I want to know exactly how much food each dog is getting, as to keep them at their optimal weights some need more food, others would become overweight too easily if they got too much. Also, since I run my dogs I need them to eat on a schedule so they are not running on full bellies. And, when I'm at races I need them to eat when I put the food out, I can't leave it down for them all day. I think that free feeding can teach a dog to become more picky about if/when they will eat (looking at the bowl and walking away, or just eating a bit and leaving it) and if there may be times when you just can't leave the food out then that could be a problem. Other problems with leaving food sitting out (even plain dry kibble) are that it can attract insects (ants, pantry beetles, flies), mice etc. and if the food is moist or has kind of topping mixed in it can spoil. My house is old and we get mice in here sometimes. When I used to leave the unfinished food sitting out mice would steal it and I'd find stashes of kibble hidden in all kinds of places. That was when I didn't have as many dogs. Now they're on a strict feeding schedule, they clean their bowls in less than five minutes and then the bowls are picked up and put away. April 17th, 2010, 07:38 AM Brina definately knows where her food comes from *L* when her dish is empty she brings it to me, when she wants treats, she comes to me, goes to the cupboard, then back to me, and I free feed April 17th, 2010, 01:59 PM Always meal fed my dogs. I like to know how much each is consuming and when. That way, any change in eating habits, or elimination schedule is obvious and you catch a problem early. I adjust amounts according to age and activity level to ensure weight doesn't fluctuate much. I agree, it is much much easier to travel about even to friends houses etc. when the dogs are on a schedule. April 18th, 2010, 10:06 PM It depends on the dog and your preference. Some dogs free feed just fine without getting fat. One advantage to feeding meals though, is that you can use it as a training session. You also have a lot less poop and house training is easier. If you free feed, they will poop at random, whereas with meals they will go less often and it will generally be at certain times. April 19th, 2010, 12:40 AM I can see the advantages to both and really think it depends on your individual dog. I have three dogs with different needs and have found meal feeding much easier. One of my dogs has allergies, so he is on a special diet (I feed raw so he eats alot of novel proteins - much too expensive to feed to the other two dogs!). My other dog gets the Freedom SA supplement sprinkled on her food. I'm not sure how I would be able to coordinate all their different foods and not have anyone eating the wrong thing etc. if I just free-fed. I have 2 piggies who would eat the bowl dry everytime it was filled and 1 who is too passive/timid and likes to pick all day, so she would likely miss out on free-fed. When I just had the two littles I was able to free-feed, but meal feeding works better for my situation. If I had one dog, I would likely just put 1/2 the amount in the bowl in the morning and 1/2 in the bowl at night for them to eat as they choose (whether that be all at once or picking at it over a few hours). Since switching to raw I give them a few minutes and if they won't eat it (which is VERY rare :laughing:) I just put it back in the fridge until the next meal. April 19th, 2010, 07:17 AM mind you, I only have the one dog, she's free fed and I can pretty well time her two "poops" daily, 10 am and 4 pm.......now if she's gotten into something she's not suppose to then the timing is way off *L* normally you hear her eating in the morning around 8 am and again late at night around 9-10

I always thought it would be fun to make a pink peppermint ice cream at home- it's such a fun flavor. Recently I was "talking" to a blogging friend and she said she's love a recipe for peppermint ice cream, so I decided to finally give it a try! Plus, I found a mysterious container of heavy cream in my fridge, about to expire. I don't remember buying it, but someone had to use it for something! Since I only had one cup of cream, I decided to make this gelato-style (like the Nutella Gelato), using a larger amount of milk than cream. am, leave out all of the white chocolate. I'd add maybe 1/2 cup of extra cream, to make up for the lost volume, and 1-2 extra tablespoons sugar, because the white chocolate adds a lot of sweetness. You may also want to add an extra half-teaspoon of peppermint extract. Make sure to use real white chocolate! ;) This ice cream flavor reminds me of peppermint bark we always make during hte holidays. (I make mine with just white chocolate and candy canes, no dark chocolate.) If you wanted to go for the dark-white-candy cane peppermint bark flavor, add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the ice cream after churning, or drizzle servings with hot fudge sauce. :) This would be a great dessert to eat around Christmas-time. I had so much fun making up this ice cream! White Chocolate-Peppermint Ice Cream by What a Dish! 7 ounces chopped white chocolate 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups whole milk 4 egg yolks 1/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon peppermint extract 3-4 drops red food coloring, optional 1/2 cup crushed candy canes 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped 1. Place the white chocolate in a large glass or metal bowl. Place a fine metal strainer on the bowl, over the white chocolate. 2. In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the cream and milk until hot, but not boiling. Meanwhile, beat/whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light in color. (I use my stand mixer). Add some (about 1 cup) of the hot milk to the egg yolks, whisking constantly. When combined, add this mixture back into the pan over low heat, whisking constantly. Keep cooking and whisking, until mixture thickens slightly, coats the back of a wooden spoon, and reaches 160 degree F. 3. Pour mixture through the fine metal strainer, into the bowl containing the white chocolate. The heat should melt the chocolate completely- stir until this happens. Add the peppermint extract and optional food coloring. Cool, and refrigerate overnight. 4. Pour into your ice-cream maker to freeze. Near the very end, when the ice cream is getting ready, add the finely chopped chocolate, and the crushed candy canes. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze for a few hours. **This post and photos are property of http://dishingwithdish.blogspot.com **

It was chilly and damp while my dad was here, a portent of the La Nina winter we have upcoming. We went fishing, quite unsuccessfully, along the Flathead River one day and picnicked in Glacier National Park another. The weather never broke (that sun I'm blocking in the picture was oh so brief) and dad left a day earlier than planned, but as far as I'm concerned, it was a perfect visit. My dad's presence is comforting, calm, borne of living in a house with four women for 18 years and a spirit that embraces growth no matter how difficult. Dad and Brent get along well and they're both great debators in their own ways. We had gotten into some philosophical discussion over the morning news, and the evening news, and any news we ran across, and Brent was asking, "How do you know what's real? How does one know what to believe anymore?" My dad said, "This is real. this right here, here and now." Well, hello, Buddha Dad. You are always welcome here and next time you have to drag that wild crazy mother of mine with you. Much love to all my family! Legislature Waiting for BP Settlement Money 5 days ago

Many Republicans and Democrats were offended by comedian Michelle Wolf's performance at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Professional liar Sean Spicer said it was a "disgrace." New York Times writer Maggie Haberman falsely accused Wolf of "intense criticism" of Sarah Huckabee Sanders' physical appearance. Masha Gessen of the New Yorker has a different take. "Through her obscene humor," she writes, "Wolf exposed the obscenity of the fictions—and the fundamental unfunniness of it all." Political satire in less troubled times exaggerates existing facts, pointing out the absurdities inherent in all ideologies, or playing up smaller disagreements and failures for bigger laughs. But Trump is hard to exaggerate—it is enough, it seems, merely to mirror him. But why does faithful portrayal of fact-based reality elicit laughter in a country that has a free press and a healthy public sphere in which, it seems, reality is robustly represented? What do late-night comedians reclaim from the Times? Wolf's performance at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner suggests an answer. She called the President a racist, a truth as self-evident as it has proved difficult for mainstream journalists to state. Her humor was obscene: she joked about the President's affair with a porn star; about his "pulling out," as promised (of the Paris agreement); and about the G.O.P.'s former deputy finance chair Elliott Broidy's $1.6 million payoff to a former mistress. She also made mincemeat of White House staff, House and Senate Republican leaders, the Democrats, and journalists on the right and left, in their presence or in that of their colleagues.

You turn around, Summer has become Fall...and you're turning 50. Which also means over twenty years of living in Driggs & Teton Valley, Idaho. Moving here is still one of the best decisions I've ever made. Fall, like aging, brings visible change. But it's good...and those colors! I had some work close to home last month - like within a few hundred yards of my house. I'm not sure which was best: the project, or the Teton scenery? Indian Summer simply rocks. I've also enjoyed some time with good old Bridger dog. He likes being outside as much as I do. Meanwhile, our Driggs/Jackson high school mountain bike team (and therefore me, as a coach) attended races all over Idaho the past couple of months, this one just north of Sun Valley. Such a great scene! I did a couple more races of my own, too. JayP's 60-mile Gravel Pursuit up in Island Park was awesome, and MooseCross CycloCross in Victor was simultaneously intense, short, sweet, painful, and fun. A combo work/fun trip to Chicago also allowed for some good time with my brother Mark. The lakefront city views are incredible. And then a highlight of my year: a Cubs playoff game, with great people, against the rival Cardinals...which Chicago won! I expect to see them in the World Series next year. There was nice Fall weekend backyard camping with Melissa & Romeo, too. Turns out tents are ideally suited for napping. And of course, fishing. It centers me. Here's to a few more good seasons & decades...of everything: mountains, water, work, scenery, and love - changing, growing, living.

We have all been thrown into the situation: facedown, sprawled out, shamefaced with multiple onlookers pointing and scolding—their acrimony infuriating you more than the reason why you were kicked out in the first place. If you have ever been tossed out of a bar or a party you know how embarrassing it can feel—especially if you have vomited all over that outrageously priced silk shirt (purchased at Wal-Mart), or your (pleated) slacks are nestled comfortably around your ankles. But the worst thing about it isn’t the embarrassment you are witnessing, but the internal rage you have for that person who flung you from good graces into the cold night and into someone’s dysfunctional, hodgepodge garden, or that gum, urine, and vomit incrusted sidewalk or ally next to that “oh so cool” establishment. We allget that diabolical rage flowing through our (alcohol saturated) veins when we get impetuously booted from a bar or party; but that doesn’t mean that in your last-ditch effort to save face that you should stumble back into the party with that jaunty flowerpot with the crack in it—which expresses your edgy side—resting magnificently on your noble crown, or embark into the backyard to steal plastic lawn furniture in the name of “going green.” No, when you get kicked out of any social situation, the best bet is to get your-intoxicated-self off the street and into bed before you become spontaneously incarcerated in a cell. These are the things you should not do after just being kicked out of a bar or a party. And if this has never happened to you or you think that it won’t happen to you: keep drinking—it will. 1. Don’t get all “Jason Bourne” on everyone Your quick and jerky spasms might appear like swift and lethal blows in your mind, but they actually resemble the thrusting convulsions of an epileptic monkey. Don’t attempt to fight the bouncers or the people removing you from the property. Chances are they are NOT nearly as drunk as you are, and they definitely haven’t just pissed themselves (which may or may not be the reason you are being removed from the premises). 2. Don’t mask your emotion with defecation It’s never a good decision to defecate on the host’s car—or any car for that matter. There is a reason why you have been kicked out: because your sloppy communication skills and ineptitude for balance, in your current state, has left you a complete train-wreck with absolutely no equilibrium. So climbing aboard the SS Shit-Show (to leave your mark) isn’t just a bad idea for it’s uncouth and unseemly elements, but also, because when you take the position to “do the deed” there is a good chance that your reckless instability will get the best of you and down you will go onto the hood of the car and into that nice big pile of…your sanity. And trying to go back into the house to use the facilities to clean yourself, after your slip-up, is just downright out of the question. Host: “What’s that? You have shit all over yourself?” You: “Grable may pants, an ah slip da doodoo.” Host: “Why yes you can come back inside to clean the shit off of yourself. Please, make yourself at home.” No, this will definitely not happen. You will meet the garden once again when they hurl you, for the second time, off the porch; and it will be down there where you will find your missing dignity (between the tulips and the Corona bottle). 3. Don’t make a scene…anymore than you already have Embarrassing yourself because you can’t control your bladder functions or motor skills is one thing, but yelling up at your assailants that you “will be back” is so cliché that you are not only going to supply that entire party or bar with jokes to last the night, but you are going to feel unequivocally “douchey” when you mutate back into your normal self the morning after and realize the verbal diarrhea that you shat out the night before. Do you think they will fear your imminent reappearance, suddenly in control of all your faculties to reestablish your honor? No. They will watch you stumble across the street and yell at a trashcan for 7 minutes until you, once again, lose your sanity and attempt to suplex the trashcan onto the hood of a minivan. 4. Don’t call your friends This is your fight…or drunken stupor: don’t involve your friends in your cancerous behavior. Drunken brawls and things of that nature are probably some of the reasons you have been excommunicated in the first place. And do you really want your friends to see that you have crapped yourself. No, I didn’t think so. Keep that cell phone in your pocket and go home, or to Jimmy John’s, and then home. 5. Don’t try and sneak back in Partygoer #1: “Hey, who is the new guy with the disheveled clothing and unkempt hair?” Partygoer #2: “Why, whoever he is, I am quite smitten with his debonair stumbling and refined ramblings.” It might sound or appear like everyone around you thinks you are the perfect little partier, in your heavily saturated head, but this is not the case. The partygoers or bar patrons will not find your resilient desire to come and join the festivities, once more, entertaining. They will find you caustic, grotesque, and highly volatile. Do yourself and everyone else in the party or bar a favor and stay outside where you can mutter to yourself and scream at all the lampposts you want. Don’t bring your psychotic drama back inside. Everyone will find themselves in that inexcusable state of intoxication once or twice in their lives (definitely depending on how much you drink). It is not glamorous; you are not a pleasure to be around; and you have no business being left to your own devices in the middle of the night. Do yourself a favor and pass out in a gutter or call a cab, but don’t try and regain some sort of dignity by your own personal way of saving face. Nobody wants to hear your excuse of why you barfed on the 50-inch plasma, or why you sneaked into the girl’s bathroom and started peeing in the corner. At this point in your drunken misadventure you must come to terms with looking like a jackass. The only logical thing to do now is call a taxi, a friend, a parent or priest—whoever, just go home and go to bed.

SLPS Students Explore Healthcare Careers Thanks to the collaborative efforts of BJC HealthCare, St. Louis Public Schools Division of Career and Technical Education, and the Missouri Foundation for Health, eight SLPS students interested in pursuing healthcare-related careers have been given a glimpse into their promising futures. The Men of Tomorrow Health Careers Camp was designed to provide an opportunity for minority male students to learn about careers in the healthcare industry. In order to qualify for the program, students had to have earned a 2.5 or higher GPA and an attendance rate of 90% or above. From cleaning wounds to checking vitals to holding a human brain in their hands, the students were immersed in activities, tours, and soft-skills preparation during six two-hour sessions at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Medical Center Complex in April, May, and June. The program culminated with a summer camp held July 22-26, during which students were asked to reflect upon their experiences. Each student created a PowerPoint presentation for their peers and top administrators from the Goldfarb School of Nursing—Dean Michael Bleich and Michael Ward, Vice Dean for Student Affairs and Diversity. Dr. Bleich said he was “incredibly proud” of the students and praised them for taking “full advantage of this opportunity,” which was free of charge for participants. “Think big about yourselves,” advised Dr. Bleich. “Think big about the space that you can fill in other people’s lives and do it. Just do it. And if you think you can’t, or if you don’t think you’re ready, or if you don’t think you come from a background that’s going to help you, then ask for help because people in the world want to help.” The following students completed the program: - Clarence Barnett, incoming senior at Gateway STEM High School - Queon Channel, incoming sophomore at Gateway STEM High School - Arma’an Givans, incoming junior at Clyde C. Miller High School - Jotham Nixon, incoming senior at Gateway STEM High School - Hezekiah Jackson, incoming sophomore at Gateway STEM High School - Harvey Rodriguez-Johnson, incoming senior at Clyde C. Miller High School - Vernon Russell, incoming senior at Gateway STEM High School - Gerardo Vazquez, incoming senior at Clyde C. Miller High School Plans are already in the works to expand the program next year. Students from the inaugural class who continue in the program have been invited by Dr. Bleich to be guests of the Goldfarb School of Nursing at the 2014 American Assembly for Men in Nursing annual conference this fall.For additional information about this and other programming, please contact the SLPS Career and Technical Education office at 314-345-4531. The Men of Tomorrow Health Careers Camp was made possible through a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health and supported by BJC HealthCare.###

Any reasonable person knows that when someone says “the holiday season” they mean “Christmas”. So, when Jimmy Fallon and Rashida Jones made this seasonal song parody for Jimmy’s late-night talk show, I appreciated that they at least mentioned Hanukkah, if for no other reason than to pay lip service to their Jewish viewers and network heads. But – And I’m looking this gift horse squarely in the mouth here – twenty five (not particularly funny) seconds out of a four minute (not particularly funny) medley? Next time, just send a card. (The dreidel spinning starts at the 1:44 mark.) [Editors note: Yes, I know Rashida Jones is Jewish. Her being Jewish doesn’t change the fact that this was 25 seconds of lame bookended by 4 minutes of also-lame]

With recent reports doubling down on Activision Blizzard’s toxic workplace culture and revealing how much of it has been perpetuated by CEO Bobby Kotick himself, there have been loud calls for his resignation, with a group of the company’s shareholders and a large number of its own employees being among those who want the man gone. While the company’s leadership has, until now, defended Kotick, it seems Kotick himself is considering stepping down- with some caveats. According to a new report by The Wall Street Journal, sources at Activision have said that Bobby Kotick said in a recent meeting between the company’s top executives that he would considering resigning from his post and leave the company if he can’t fix the deep-rooted problems at the company “with speed”. He reportedly apologized for the way he has handled the situation, and expressed shame and regret at the details that have come to light over recent weeks and months. Part of that process might be the establishment of a “workplace excellence committee”, which, if created, would be in charge of the company’s recovery efforts. Meanwhile, Kotick was also told at the company that many Activision Blizzard employees would not be satisfied with any efforts until he himself stepped down. Pressure has been building on Kotick from both within and outside of Activision. PlayStation head Jim Ryan and Xbox boss Phil Spencer have both spoken out against the company’s workplace culture and its troubling practices against its employees.

Back in 1999, after another condensed lockout season, a young player on an eighth team made a promise. It was the promise heard ’round the world as Kevin Garnett proclaimed he and his Minnesota Timberwolves would “shock the world” against the first-seeded San Antonio Spurs, who went on to beat the Wolves and win their first NBA title. History apparently repeats itself. Another lockout season, another 1-8 matchup and another young player talking about shocking the world. Although since Garnett promised it in 1999, it seems every year since a player or team has said they have plans to do what Garnett couldn’t. Add Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward to that list, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. The mild-mannered Hayward uttered the three words in a different context than Garnett, but it could be enough to give the Spurs some locker room material. “For us, we’re just going to compete and play hard. We’ve proven we can beat the best teams if we do things our way, so that’s what we’re going to have to do. … It’s going to be exciting. It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be a challenge. It gives us a chance to shock the world. So we have to be ready for it.” While Hayward, who has averaged 12 points per game in his sophomore campaign, may have given the Spurs their due respect and I can appreciate his excitement for playing in his first NBA playoff game, he may have sent enough of a message to get a real welcome to the playoffs against the Spurs in Game 1 this Sunday. And while the Jazz may have beaten some very good teams “doing things their way,” the rookie will learn quickly that the playoffs are a whole new beast. Garnett learned that lesson and it really sank in when he had to walk into the Alamodome during preseason the next season and spotted the Spurs’ oversized 1999 World Champions banner. I’m sure Spurs fans hope Hayward’s quote yields similar results.

Come find out about the Lost Rivers of Ward 13 and RAINscapeTO. Monday June 12, 2017, 6:15 – 8:15 (Jane/Dundas Branch of the Toronto Public Library) 100 years ago in Ward 13 several little creeks flowed from an ancient sandbar (near the Stockyards) into Humber Bay. Today the creeks are buried under curving streets with steep ravine sides, and come above ground only in High Park – or sometimes in our basements! In this workshop you will discover your personal Lost River, find out what happens when rain falls on your house, where it flows, and why it sometimes floods. Learn about rain garden landscaping – a new way of gardening that can help prevent flooding, restore a more natural water cycle, and enhance quality of life. Helen Mills, founder of Toronto Green Community’s Lost Rivers program, will present the program with partners from RAINscapeTO, a new program to bring RAIN garden landscaping to Toronto. It is a collaborative project of Toronto Green Community and Lost Rivers in partnership with Miziwe Biik, Toronto Region Conservation Authority, and a network of Eco landscapers. Co-sponsored by Our Fragile Planet, Jane/Dundas Library, Green 13 and Toronto Green Community.

Lufthansa Cargo starts pilot scheme using lightweight containers to test fuel and emissions savings potential Tue 24 Feb 2009 – Lufthansa Cargo and Jettainer have initiated a pilot scheme to test the impact of lightweight containers on the air cargo carrier’s environmental performance and transport costs. The trial will provide information about their weight advantages and shed light on the behaviour of containers made of composite materials compared with their conventional aluminium counterparts. The lightweight containers are around 15 percent lighter and their use could lead to significant fuel and emissions savings. A total of 1,000 containers sourced from four manufacturers will be used during the trial on Lufthansa Cargo’s and Lufthansa’s global route networks. “For many years now, Lufthansa Cargo has been working intensively on reducing its specific fuel consumption,” said Karl-Heinz Köpfle, the carrier’s Board Member Operations. “In the past we have implemented targeted measures to further lower our consumption and thus also the CO2 emissions of our fleet. Every kilogramme less of weight on our aircraft saves kerosene – and so lowers our costs.” Alexander Plümacher, Managing Director of Jettainer, a leading international service provider for outsourced ULD (unit load device) management, estimates the airline industry could potentially save many millions of kilogrammes of fuel with the introduction of the composite material containers. A conventional LD-3 size airfreight container weighs about 80kg. The tests will also aim to show whether the new containers need fewer repairs and whether the reduction in idle time due to repairs will affect the overall quantities of containers needed. The pilot scheme will run until this coming autumn.

With a 19-cent price difference between an Arco station and Mobil franchise across the street, Jeri Lick didn’t think twice about where to stop for gasoline one recent morning. These days, the Torrance resident fills up her sport utility vehicle only at Arco stations, which largely across the South Bay are considerably cheaper than competing stations just yards away. “I noticed the same thing,” she said Thursday, just minutes before the manager of the Pacific Coast Highway station hiked the price 2 cents to $4.01. “That’s why I only go to Arco.” Of course, these days, any talk of cheap gas is relative, but a distinct discount-store mentality helps Arco drive a hard bargain. High-volume sales keep prices low, and a no-credit- card policy further shaves precious cents off every gallon sold, said Scott Dean, a spokesman for BP, which owns Arco. “Arco has traditionally been extremely competitive,” he said. Though antiquated – and maybe a tad inconvenient – in a modern world built on credit, the policy spares Arco from credit transaction fees, which translates for customers into a savings of as much as 3 cents a gallon, according to Arco’s Web site. Many Arco stations also add a 45-cent surcharge to debit card purchases, which offsets fees for the company while still giving customers some payment flexibility, officials said. The policy irritates some customers, even those on the well-heeled Palos Verdes Peninsula, said Javad Monfared, manager of an Arco in Rolling Hills Estates, where the cheap stuff went for $4.09 on Friday. But finicky payment methods didn’t keep customers from lining up at South Bay Arco stations last week as the average Los Angeles County petroleum price jumped 15cents to $4.11, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California. “Our gas is cheaper,” Monfared said. “You’ll never find any price the same as Arco.” Hawthorne resident Karan Shaghaghi certainly couldn’t. After comparison shopping, Shaghaghi now sticks with Arco gas when he fills up his pickup truck – thrice-weekly thanks to a daily commute to Malibu. Friday morning, Shaghaghi paid $4.05 a gallon for regular unleaded at an Arco in Lawndale as cars idled in line behind him; just across Hawthorne Boulevard, an ironically named Thrifty Gas station appeared abandoned, its lowest grade gasoline going for a not-so-thrifty $4.34. “I always wondered that myself – why they were so cheap,” Shaghaghi said. For years, Mobil station owner Fujio Shoji had the same question: How did the Arco across the highway keep its prices so low? On Thursday morning, Shoji’s cheapest gas went for $4.17 in Torrance; the Arco? $3.98. “I’m not sure what the difference is,” he said. “But I am suffering for it.” A thriving auto repair shop and loyal customer base keep Shoji’s 34-year-old business afloat, he said. But in a slow economy, Shoji said he couldn’t really blame customers for seeking out gas bargains. “If people are suffering for pennies, they go for the cheaper everything,” he said. For years, Shoji has made about 7 cents on every gallon sold; the Arco station managed by Monfared turns a profit of about 5<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 cents a gallon, he said. Station amenities also factor into how independently owned Arcos price their petroleum, Dean said. “They have to factor in their cost of business, what their staffing is like,” he explained. “Some might have a service station or a convenience store. He might be able to price a lot more competitively than the guy who doesn’t have a store.” As he paid $4.17 a gallon at a Mobil station Thursday, Henry Parker wondered if the gas at the Arco across the street was cheaper because it was lower quality. Nope – gas is gas, Dean said: “All gasoline needs to meet government requirements for things like octane.” So why didn’t Parker mind dropping 19 cents more a gallon than what he’d pay across the street? It’s simple, really. “My company has a Mobil card,” he said.

We went to The Point Restaurant after a recommendation from a friend for my partners birthday and we were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was to die for. So fresh and great flavours. The view was fantastic and could be seen from all directions. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Originally posted in This Day Live by Kayode Komolafe Among the invisible dividends of democracy recorded in the last 16 years are the increased legitimacy of debates and the yearning for ideas as the bedrock of policy-making. This is manifested in the sprouting up of think tanks privately instituted to probe into problems beyond the surface. In other words, thinking is again being made central to problem solving. Unfortunately, not much attention is paid to this trend because the public is so overwhelmed with existential questions requiring urgent answers such that talking about what should be the Nigerian condition in 10 years time seems a luxury. Who cares about what goes on at a think tank when he is on a queue at the filling station to ensure a little fuel in the tank of his car? Or you may ask: of what importance is the brainstorming of a think tank on global power to a man whose immediate need is to power the battery of his handset? Indeed, Nigeria still faces the basic challenges of numbers namely “counting our people, counting our money and counting our votes” as THISDAY’s Chairman, Nduka Obaigbena, would say. Yet it is by having a big picture of what the future should be that the everyday problems could be strategically solved in the public interest. After all, time was when Development Plans would envisage the number of primary school pupils that should be in existence or the gallons of water that would be needed by the projected population 20 years from the date of the plan. That was before the neo-liberals took over the centre stage of policy-making with their ruinous socio-economic agenda. Many years before the Europeans arrived at the destination of European Union, the first president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, had envisioned an All African Government, that is a step higher than the current African Union. So it is fairly suggestible that Africa should restore the culture of thinking big and acting strategically as it grapples with problems of development. It is in this context that the latest arrival in the community of Nigerian think tanks- the Gusau Institute (GI) – should be welcome. The home of the institute, founded by Lt. General Aliyu Gusau Mohammed, is at the heart of Kaduna, the capital of the old northern region. Among other important beats in his career, Gusau served as Director of Military Intelligence, Chief of Army Staff, National Security Adviser to the President and Defence Minister. A prized asset in the global intelligence community, Gusau is famously taciturn. But unknown to many the General, a genuine patriot, is very much at home with ideas and strategic thinking. In a way, the Gusau Institute is a way of giving a categorical expression to this passion. The vision of the institute is “to be the number one global information resource centre on good governance and security issues.” The solid establishment of the institute suggests that it holds a tremendous promise. It has richly stocked physical and virtual research libraries, a computer training centre, conference rooms and even accommodation for visitors. According to Gusau, the institute would provide a centre for “gatherings on burning issues… to equip Nigeria and Africa with knowledge to solve problems.” A fortnight ago, the Gusau Institute held its inaugural event. It was a seminar with the following theme: Power and Influence in Africa – Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria and South Africa. Why the focus on the five countries? Together the five countries have 40% of African population, 60% of the continent’s economy and 58% of its military strength. Little surprise that the guest speaker, Dr. Jakkie Cilliers, described the five African countries as the “Big Five.” Cilliers is the Executive Director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) based in Pretoria, South Africa. His role in the transformation of the apartheid armed forces and the subordination to civilian control has been widely acknowledged. He employed forecasting as a thinking tool to look at what Africa would be in 2040 using the Big Five as the pegs for the discussion. So what does Cilliers see on the horizon? “Of the Big Five, two currently punch above their weight – one that is rising, Ethiopia, and another whose growth is stagnant, South Africa. If Nigeria were able to take the necessary steps that would see far-reaching changes to the governance issues and social challenges that currently beset the country, it could become Africa’s lone superpower.” A manifesto of Afroptimism, a Nigerian patriot might be quick to say. However, Cilliers sounded more like an Afropessimist as he eloquently delivered his sobering lecture. For him, even by 2040, “in global context Africa is likely to remain pretty much where it was: at the margins of global power”. In this exercise in forecast, Cilliers said that by 2040 Africa would have 22% of the world population with only 7.2% of the global economy. This would certainly present serious socio-economic contradictions to be resolved in the dreaded future. However, Cilliers identified integration and economic growth as the game changers in this grim projection. In Cilliers’ conceptual world, the ingredients of this global power include economy, demography, military strength, technology, government capacity and human capital. His findings are that in 2015, the combined power of Africa is only 9% of the global power. Africa is expected to increase its share of global economy from the present 5.1% to only 7.2% by 2040 in Cilliers’ forecast. According to Cilliers, “to a large extent, the increase in Africa’s role globally will be driven by the future weight of Nigeria.” Even then Nigeria “accounts for only 0.9% of global power today”. The projection about Nigeria is conditional: there must be improvement in “ current domestic stability, governance capacity and political leadership.” While Cilliers evaluated the capabilities of Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria and South Africa, he, of course, noted that the individual African countries have specific challenges of governance, security and development. For some Nigerians, Cilliers’ prescription may bring back the memories of the “Concert of Medium Powers” which former Foreign Minister, Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, ranks as his “ boldest move” in the the regime of President Ibrahim Babangida. It would be great if the animated discussion at the seminar could be a foretaste of what the Gusau Institute has to offer. For instance, the first Chief of Defence Staff of the Nigerian Armed Forces, Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade, posited that military solution alone would not be enough to combat the terrorism of Boko Haram. Not a few persons in the audience saw the strategy to defeat terror as a veritable topic for another seminar at the institute. Former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Professor Ango Abdulahi, said the content of Chapter II of the 1999 Constitution on Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy “should be the justification for the existence of any government in Nigeria”. This is the section that spells out the welfare and security responsibilities of the government to the people. In response to Cilliers, Abdulahi said the guest speaker was “polite” in posing the leadership question in Nigeria. Abdulahi lamented “failure of leadership.” For instance, he recalled to the amazement of the audience that the annual budget of Sir Ahamadu Bello as the Premier of Northern Region ( now 19 northern states) was equivalent today’s budget of the Kaduna North Local Government alone. This prompted another professor to remark lightheartedly that even at old age Abdulahi was moving from the Right to the Left in ideologically terms. All told, the question should be asked: global power and influence for what purpose? The answer to this question is important so that power and influence of a country would not be treated as if they are ideologically neutral concepts. Power and influence should be related to underlying class issues. Come to think of it, of what use is global power of a country to its people suffocating under burgeoning inequality and mass poverty within its borders? America is the country having the greatest power and influence. So what does that power mean to a man living on food stamps in Florida or the millions without basic social protection such as health insurance in the richest country on earth? There should be a class dimension to the projection of Nigeria and other African countries as potential global powers.

Hey guys, how has it been? Well, I am hoping that you have all liked the story so far, and i am sorry for not up daiting sooner. i am preagnate so i have been stressed. now, on with the story! Fun With Chocolat I woke up to the sounds of crickets chirping loudly. The sun wasn't up yet, it was just a thin line on the horizon. I felt Roux's arms tighten around my waist, pulling me as close as possiable to him. "Roux,are you up?" I asked sleepily. I felt his mouth on my neck, leaving hot kisses up and down, licking a line up where he had kissed me. "I take that as a yes." I laughed as his kisses got more heated. He flipped me so that he was on top and kissed up the front of my neck to my chin, untill he reached my mouth. His hands roamed up my sides and went to the top of my head, kissing me harder, our tonges playing with anothers. We broke apart and I smiled up at him, pushing a strand of his hair behind his ear. He kissed the tip of my nose and brought his lips down to my neck again. "You know, we really should get up." I moaned as he nudged my legs apart with his knee. "Do you really expect to stay in here forever?" "I want to." He smiled licking up from my collar bone to my ear and whispered sweet words to me and his hands roaming my body. "Why don't we go get Rachel, Kammie, and Jasmine, and go get something to eat." I suggested as he started tugging at my shirt, slipping it over my head. My hands went up his bare back and traced designes while he continued to kiss up my neck. "Roux." I moaned as he kissed down to my chest, his hands sliding up my thighs. "Yes." He moaned as I kissed his chest. "Please? I am hungry, I want something to eat." I said tracing his muscles with my tonge. "You sure know how to get what you want." He said and brought my face up to his and we kissed again. We seporated and I put on my skirt. He put on his pants and we walked outside. It was brighter outside now, but still not that bright. He wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked over to where Jasmine and Kammie were still sleeping by the tree. "Look, they are asleep, let's go back and sleep more." Roux said tugging my arm. "I am hungry, let's go get something to eat. We can go back to the shop and make something for every one." "Ok." Roux said and kissed my cheek. We walked back to the shop and I opened the door. "What do you feel like?" I asked Roux. "What ever you feel like love." He said and walked over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Eggs and backon?" I asked. "Sounds good." He said and kissed up my neck. I sighed as he moved his hands up and down my waist. "Can I help?" He asked, turning me around and looking into my eyes. He smiled and kissed me deeply. I kissed him back and smiled. We seporated and I handed him two eggs. "Now, crack those two, then two more and-" "I know how to make eggs love. Don't worry about it." He said and kissed my cheek. I watched as he did exactly what I told him to do, and he moved the pan back and forth over the hot stove. I smiled and started doing the bacon. We heard the door open with the small bell symbolizing that people came in. "Hey Korie, you and Roux making me breackfast?" Rachel asked walking in with a big smile on her face. Jasmine and Kammie came in shortly after her and sat down in the big chair that could hold three of them. "Looks like you and Dean hit it off good." I smiled. "It was a lot of fun Korie, I am glad you made me go." She smiled. "So, how much 'fun' did you have?" She asked me, a sly grin on her lips. I blushed and Roux came up to me, putting an arm around my waist and kissed my cheek. "That anwsered my question." Rachel smirked. "The eggs are ready love." He smiled and pressed his lips to mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. We seporated and I smiled. "Want to put them on plates?" I asked. He smiled and walked back over and grabbed some plates and put the eggs on them. "Roux, can you bring the plates over here? The bacon is ready." I said. He did as I told him to and I slid three pieces of backon on each of the five plates and passed them out. "Thank's Korie, this is my favorite!" Jasmine said as she took a bite. I smiled and walked over to Roux who was now sitting by the fire and I sat on his lap. We began eating our breakfast and I laughed as he fed me some eggs. I held out some backon for him and he bit some off. He took the rest and licked my fingers cleane. "You know, Sarah's birthday is today." I said to Kammie and Jasmine. "Why don't you two make her something, ah, maybe one of those dolls you made the other day." "That sounds good." Jasmine said and her and Kammie walked upstairs to get working. "I'll go supervise." Rachel said and smiled, walking up the stairs. "Why don't we make some chocolat cake or something for Sarah." I said. Roux smiled and started helping me out. I looked over at Roux who was dipping some fruit into melted chocolat. I walked over and dipped my finger into it. Roux looked up at me and I made a line down my neck. "Want the chocolate?" I asked backing away. He grinned and started walking towards me. "Come get the chocolat." I laughed as he trapped me against the wall and licked up my neck. I wrapped my arms around his neck and laughed as he started kissing my neck. He picked me up, still continuing his assault on my neck and set me down on the counter. I moaned as I felt his tonge glide up my neck. I put my hand behind my back for support, but it hit the chocolate bowl and it fell off of the counter. I looked away from Roux at the fallen bowl and sighed. "Roux, look what you made me do." I giggled as I pushed him back, hopping off the counter. "It isn't all my fault you know, if you weren't you, this would have never happened." Roux smiled. "You know, that hardly made sense." I laughed. "It didn't have to for you, but it did for me." "Well, you were the one who said it, of course it made sence for you!" I laughed again as he gave me a confused expresion. "There are many things that I think and say that don't make sence to me." "It isn't the time." He smiled and walked past me. I glared at the back of his head and he looked around and I smiled. "Don't you dare think that I didn't know you were just glaring at me." He smirked and kept walking. He came to a chare by the fire place and sat down, slumping down and putting his arms on the arm rests, grinning up at me. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the sink and washed our dishes. "Why don't you come take a seat with me?" He asked in a seductive tone. "Because I know what you have on your mind and I don't think it is a good time for it." "You are dirty you know that? I wasn't thinking of anything along those lines." "Of course you weren't. That is why you know what I was talking about." "Alright, you got me there, but why isn't it a good time love, for me, anytime is a good time." "Roux, do you not remember who is in this house with us?" "Why every fifteen minutes must we be in some form of contact any ways?" "Because, I care that much about you." He smiled. "What am I to you Roux? Am I just your little toy? Am I your new little toy that you are playing with until you get board with it and then you get another one? No thank you Roux, I am not going to be that fun toy that you are just going to dispose of." I said gripping on the plate I was washing so hard that my knuckles turned white. "Korie, you are-" "I am a toy to you? Is that what you are thinkning? If it is, just say it and I wont be mad. I will be mad if you are lying to me though." "I am not lying, you are not a toy for me, I care to much about you." I smiled at that and placed the plate down, walking over to him. His smile came back on his face and he patted his lap. I sat down and he wrapped his arms around me, kissing up my neck. "Why don't we go back to the tent?" He asked. I don't know what it was, but something snapped in me. "That's it! I am a toy to you!" I yelled and pushed out of his grasp. I stood infront of him, seeing his shocked and hurt expresion. "Don't look so hurt, you are using me remember? I am not doing anything bad to you and you are trying to make me feel bad!" I cryed. "What is going on?" Rachel yelled running down the stares. She saw Roux, now sitting up and me, tears forming, my face turning a deep red from anger. "Nothing, he was just leaving though." I said pointing at the door and glaring at Roux. "Leave." I said. "What's going on Korie?" Kammie asked at the top of the stares. "Roux is going, now." I said sternly. "What happened?" Jasmine asked. "Nothing sweety, now if you may, I need peace." I said rubbing my temples. "Yes Kammie, you can go." I said and walked up the stares and past them. They walked down and out the door. "Korie, are you ok?" She asked closing the door. "I don't know, I am hurting and feeling horriable. I don't even think that Roux loves me and here I am running around with him!" I cryed. "What exactly did you do last night?" "Really? Well, I don't think nothing can lead up to him not being able to keep his hands and mouth off of you." "We had sex! There, you happy?" "That's all I needed to know. Now, you are comming with me to the doctors." "I just need to know something." "Nothing, come on." She said opining the door and walking out. I followed her and was very confused. "Exsuse me Ms. Roth, but I need to speak with you." The doctor said as I layed on the bed in a very white and small room. He walked out and closed the door. I looked through the window and saw him talking to Rachel. Then, I saw Rachel turn red with anger and she started yelling. The doctor threw up his arms and tryed to calm her down, but she didn't stop. I looked over at some tests and saw what I didn't expect, or want to see. Possiable due date, nine monthes. Confermed pregnate, May 23, 2006.

Last week, veteran fighter and broadcaster Frank Trigg was the subject of reports that implicated him in an alleged domestic abuse case with his wife, stemming from an incident that happened last October. According to the report, which originated on celebrity gossip website TheDirty.com, the abuse incident coupled with an affair with an HDNet co-worker led to Trigg's ouster as a commentator for the cable channel. The report from TheDirty.com claimed that he had been found guilty of domestic violence as a result of the incident. Trigg appeared on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour, and while he declined to answer several questions due to a gag order around the divorce proceedings, he blasted the report and ensuing coverage around it. "I’ve never been arrested, I’ve never been picked up, I’ve never been convicted of anything ever in my life other than a speeding ticket," he said. "That’s the only thing I’ve ever been convicted of. That’s it. So I don’t know where this other stuff is coming from. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’ve never been charged with any crime ever in my life, ever, other than speeding and maybe a couple illegal parkings. " Earlier on Monday, Trigg released a public statement through his media relations representative, which more directly denied the incident, calling it "completely false." On The MMA Hour, he said The Dirty report was "one-third of a story," implying that important details were left out. He said his divorce was finalized just days prior to the report coming out, and that the two sides were waiting on final paperwork and a visitation agreement, among a few other things. "There is a court order," he said. "We're not allowed to talk about each other publicly and she obviously breached it." The alleged incident did however cost Trigg his job with HDNet. Trigg said that when HDNet was nearing an agreement with Seacrest Media, AEG and Creative Artists Agency to rebrand the channel, there were internal concerns about how such an incident may be perceived. "They were very nervous because of the affiliation that someone with a vendetta could make public statements about me that were untrue and inflammatory," he said. "There’s nothing I could do about it, because once it’s on the internet, it’s on the internet. They couldn’t take the chance with a loose cannon being out there, and that’s exactly what happened. That’s 100 percent what happened. You can’t fault HDNet for trying to save their company and trying to expand their network and what they’re trying to do with their network by letting me go. They were scared of what was going to happen, and it happened." Meanwhile, Trigg says his career is effectively shut down for now. His broadcasting slate is empty, and although he doesn't consider himself a retired fighter, he has nothing planned on that front, either. While tending to his children, he'll wait and hope for a break. "I can say I want to do it all day long, but if you don’t hire me for three years, then I’m going to go be a waiter," he said "If I sit around and wait a month, and I kind of put things together and then get a couple jobs, then I’m back in the game. So I have no idea. I can’t answer that, it’s out of my control."

The Oregon Employment Department has just released the July employment numbers. This is a one-tenth of a percentage point gain from the revised June numbers, but is essentially stuck and has been for nine months. The jobs number is bad: 3,000 jobs lost in July, but the revised June number is now 1,800 new jobs added, so the net effect is minimal. Once again, we appear to be stuck, stuck, stuck (as does the US economy) and there is no real reason to believe it will get better soon. One hopes the federal government will come through with more aid to the states in the form of block grants, but there does not seem to be much momentum for this on Capital Hill.

This has been a while, but I’ll post the changes I remember. The search feature has not had much of an update, but another version was written even if it has not been simplified yet. I may do another version yet as I have discovered an interesting bug, but it is a bit complicated to explain. Each section of a review is searched independantly as opposed to being searched as a whole. I want to create a third version of the search feature where the entire document is searched. I think I might be able to do it. My interest is growing to work on this project 🙂 I really have not been updating much, but I do hope to change that. Still, time will tell. That’s about all I can think of.

LeapRate's Daily Forex Industry Newsletter Join now to receive first access to our EXCLUSIVE reports and updates. Screenshot of a breaking news alert e-mail from Q2 2017 Senen Pousa and Investment Intelligence Corporation defrauded over 960 clients worldwide The US Commodity Futures trading Coomision has obtained a court order against defendants Senen Pousa and Investment Intelligence Corporation (IIC) for the payment of $192 million in relation to their forex fraud scheme that caused over 960 of their customers worldwide to lose their savings to the tune of $ 32 million. The fine constitutes $33,299,821 to defrauded customers across the world and each defendant is required to pay $79.5 million for civil monetary penalty. As a consequence the defendants are permanently banned from trading and registration. The action is a result from a complaint filed in September last year. Since at least January 2012 the parties involved have been using “wealth creation” webinars, podcasts, webcasts, emails and other online tools to solicit clients to open forex accounts with IIC. Clients have been promised a monthly return of 9 percent and stated that the company would not be risking more than 3% of the client’s funds in a single trade. Things have gone terribly wrong by midyear when clients’ funds have suffered a drawdown of about 60% in the process of conducting over 200 trades on the forex market. The usual questions remain pondering investors’ minds – if and how are they going to recover the substantial amounts lost. In order to stay away from forex fraud we strongly advise our readers to use only brokerages which are trustworthy such as those on our LeapRate approved list.

The press launch yesterday marking the countdown to the 50th anniversary on December 9, complete with a very special Street Party. I was among 235 guests who gathered in Studio 12 at ITV Granada in Manchester for the event. Hosted in some style by Boyzone star Keith Duffy, who plays Rovers barman Ciaran McCarthy. (Lots of audio / video further down this blog) Before a party out on the cobbles and tours of the studio sets. We were treated to showreels looking back at the last half century – and ahead to what is to come. Including the moving reunion of Jack (Bill Tarmey) and the “ghost” of Vera (Liz Dawn) in scenes which I guarantee will have fans in floods of tears when they are screened. Plus other future storylines. Leading to the tram crash in December which will form part of an “explosive anniversary week” – including the already trailed live episode. ITV director of programmes John Whiston said Street creator Tony Warren had uncovered the DNA of a nation. And provided food for thought in noting Coronation Street’s longevity: “It will certainly outlive us all.” Both Tony and Bill Roache, who has played Ken Barlow from the very first episode, were given standing ovations. The rest of the cast joining in from their seats in the front rows. Corrie also becoming a double Guinness World Record holder as the longest running TV soap in the world, with Bill the world’s longest serving soap actor. Executive producer Kieran Roberts maintained: “Coronation Street is 50 years young.” Producer Phil Collinson promised “a week of television that people will remember forever”. He added: “The most ambitious week of episodes that the show has ever seen.” Five weeks of night shoots begin on Monday to create that golden anniversary spectacular – on screen in the second week in December – and the important aftermath, with lives changed forever. Starting with episodes 7483, 7484 and 7485 – the three episodes which will begin that historic week. Phil pointing out that the carnage will have to be re-staged all over again for the live episode. Summing up the essence of the December episodes: “How we love, hate, how we live and how we die.” As you can hear from the audio below, Phil revealed the number of deaths after the tram plunges off the viaduct – which runs over soon to re-open new bar The Joinery. He also confirmed that both The Kabin and Dev’s Corner Shop will be caught up in the destruction. Despite a bit of a Corrie smokescreen, I understand the actors whose characters die in the crash have now been told their fate. And I believe it won’t necessarily be who you might be expecting to go. But Tony Warren made a plea to the press not to spoil the storyline by revealing who dies, and who lives. “Let the audience have their present,” he implored. He certainly won’t get any argument about that from me. I spent the rest of the afternoon on the cobbles, interviewing many members of the Corrie cast for future coverage. While also trying to record a flavour of the day via audio, video and photos. My photos from the day are on Flickr here. With a slideshow here.

Country songs always seem to find a way to express the words we aren't always able to find. So this Father's Day, if you can't find the right card or the right gift, here are 10 songs that perfectly describe everything we love about dear old dad. "A Father's Love" -- Bucky Covington Actions speak louder than words in this song about a son who learns that saying "I love you" doesn't always mean saying those three words out loud. "Drive (For Daddy Gene)" -- Alan Jackson Alan Jackson's song "Drive," is about capturing memories that are remembered long after the moments are gone and passed down to the next generation. "He Didn't Have To Be" -- Brad Paisley Brad Paisley's "He Didn't Have to Be" is a song for all of those stepdads who stepped up to the plate and loved a child as if they were their own. "Just Fishin'" -- Trace Adkins This Trace Adkins song is a sentimental story about how children learn and grow through the little moments in life. It's a song about cherishing the time you have before they become memories. "Love Without End, Amen" -- George Strait George Strait's "Love Without End, Amen" is the true depiction of what a father is. He is a man who teaches and loves endlessly as a child grows and learns no matter how many mistakes they may make. "In My Arms" -- Mark Wills Mark Wills' "In My Arms" is a beautiful song about a father cherishing the moments he's able to hold his little girl before she grows up and finds her happily ever after. "That's My Job" -- Conway Twitty Here's an emotional song about a son who has a dream about losing his father. When he asks what he would do without his dad, Twitty's response is, "that's my job." "The Best Day" - George Strait Another great song about dads from George Strait. "The Best Day" is a song told through the eyes of a child. It focuses on the big moments in that boys share with their fathers. "Watching You" - Rodney Atkins There's no one a young boy would rather look up to than his father. In "Watching You," Rodney Atkins portrays a fun and carefree relationship between a father and a son who likes to copy everything he does, both good and bad. It's a great song that shines a light on the how hard fathers can be on themselves as a role model. Sometimes dads judge themselves for what they do wrong, but this song shows that, in the midst of all of it, there is a lot they're doing right.

Affiliate promoting had an awful notoriety, the historical backdrop of which appears to resound forward. A great deal of the blogging swarm, particularly those with a PR foundation firmly disdain the utilization of partner promoting as a showcasing instrument. One explanation is that, before, individuals didn’t unveil their connections, and somewhat in light of the fact that individuals previously (and a few people today) sell items and administrations that they don’t utilize or bolster, basically to profit from the clearance of the item. Speedy definition. I call offshoot advertising “advancing an item or administration that another person has made to your locale with the expectation of giving advantage to that network, and to be made up for that advancement.” There has been negligence inside our industry already and as opposed to policing it adequately, a visually impaired eye has been turned much of the time. There have been cases of partners using malware to stuff treats on to clients machines, offering on brand terms when they feel that nobody is looking, and voucher code subsidiaries utilizing snap to uncover components that drop treats on clients accidentally. These things were not really carefully illicit or against explicit terms and conditions at the time, however they were untrustworthy and left a harsh preference for the mouth of any brands included. Enactment and innovation quickly got up to speed much of the time and most by far of such practices have now been prohibited. Another territory where the business hasn’t helped itself. There has never been a combined voice inside the partner space that has gone out and yelled about what we do and why it is so extraordinary. We have been glad to confine ourselves fairly and a few pieces of the business appear to delight in this “untouchable” job. Yet, you can’t have your cake and eat it. On the off chance that you need a spot at the top table, you have to show that you will act appropriately through supper. There are a lot of amazing associate advertisers out there who are moral and gain an incredible living by advancing authentic items and administrations their perusers really advantage from. Indeed, a large portion of the effective partner advertisers out there who have had the option to gain a full time living for quite a long time with offshoot promoting are the great ones. Unexpectedly enough, the dishonest ones doing the greater part of what I expressed above may see transitory achievement, if any whatsoever. That is actually the manner in which it ought to be, yet all in all they are as yet a loud gathering giving all of us partner advertisers a horrible name. Along these lines, in case you’re new to the majority of this subsidiary promoting stuff, it would be ideal if you keep your ethical compass with you consistently and don’t stray from it. We need all the more heroes around here. It’s truly up to you.

A lot of people claim they can’t follow their dreams. They have a mortgage, kids, a work history they say prevents them from pursuing jobs they might actually like. Others swear that if you let your passion lead, success will follow. That where there’s a will, there’s a way. So which is it? The short answer: It’s not either/or. It’s both/and. My meditation teacher once told me there are two things she believes are critical to do in this life: - Follow your inner guidance. - Be practical. I’ve been amazed how, if I listen carefully and get creative, I’ve never been forced to choose one or the other. There’s always been a way to do both. How to Be Practical (and How Not to) If you’re reading this, my guess is you don’t have a problem being practical. In my experience, the people who ask “Am I being impractical?” almost never are. They ask the question precisely because they value pragmatism and have a strong sense of what’s needed to navigate most any situation. What feels impractical to them isn’t usually foolish—it’s just somewhat more uncertain than their usual course of action. So I won’t say much about how to be practical, but I will say that it’s important to remember that practicality isn’t an all-or-nothing affair. All-or-nothing thinking is our brain’s sneaky way of convincing us to stick with the status quo. Part of us is scared of change, so it convinces us that since we can’t pursue our childhood dream of being a professional basketball player, we have no choice but to stay in our current job until we either retire or die. But there are many other possibilities that lie between the two extremes of being the next Michael Jordan or making zero changes. We could play more basketball with friends after work. We could find a youth team to coach. We could see if there’s a job in the sports industry that makes our hearts sing. Or we could get to the root of what we love about basketball (The physical challenge? Being part of a team? Engaging or entertaining others? Representing a community? Opportunities for learning and growth?) and find other ways to bring these things into our work and lives. The Magic of Following Inner Guidance It isn’t that we’re always successful and happy and nothing goes wrong. Rather, the magic is that we find what we’re looking for, even if we don’t know exactly what that is. When we want something like a new job, usually what we really want is to feel something: joy, freedom, fulfillment, a sense of being valuable or important or impactful. And here’s the magical part: - When we follow our inner wisdom, we often feel joyful because we’re engaging with the things we love and that make us come alive. - We feel free because we’re making active choices, saying no to what’s not essential so we can do what matters most. - We feel fulfilled because we’re doing something meaningful and important. - And we feel valuable and impactful because we’re finding ways big and small to share our greatest gifts with a world that desperately needs them. In other words, it doesn’t matter so much where your inner guidance leads you. You don’t find what you want most in a particular job. You find it in the search, in taking one step after another, in listening for what’s calling you and saying yes to that call. Drawing on a Bigger Picture Balancing practicality with guidance is a learned art, and mistakes are an integral part of the process. Sometimes we’re too practical. Other times we don’t think things through. We have to lose our balance and find it again over and over to learn anything worthwhile. But maybe that’s okay. Maybe that’s what we’re here to do in this life—to find ways to bring our immense gifts, infinite imagination, and endless creativity to a flawed and finite world. Maybe in embracing these twin parts of ourselves—our limitedness and our limitlessness—we discover the unconditional love and acceptance that are the true heart of all our desires.

If your congregation plans to seek grant funding for programs in 2010, keep in mind that the grants picture has changed quite a bit in the past 12 months due to the economic downturn. As I research local (Minneapolis-St. Paul) and national funders for several clients, and talk to a variety of churches and ministries about their grant-seeking efforts, I notice the following developments. They are worth noting in the weeks and months ahead: Grantmakers generally have less money to give. Due to the downturn in the stock market, and reduced corporate profits during the past year, available funds are down. Funders are handling this in several different ways. Some are not making grants to any new organizations, which means if you don't already have a relationship with the funder, 2010 will not be a good year to try. Others are cutting the size of their grants. I occasionally encounter one organization that plans to stop making grants altogether for the coming year. So, when you call or e-mail a funder about applying for a grant, it will be important to ask, "Will you be making grants to any new organizations this year?" It is important to frequently check funder websites. A number of funders have changed their guidelines and focus areas, sometimes without much notice. The foundation that looked like a perfect fit for your after-school program six months ago may have changed its focus to programs providing food and shelter. A few months ago, one foundation that I monitor abruptly changed its focus areas over a weekend, taking everyone (including the foundation staff) by surprise! Funders are more focused now on meeting basic needs and on helping people who are unemployed. I have seen a general shift, particularly with corporate funders, toward funding programs for the hungry and homeless, workforce training, and assistance for displaced workers. This may be good news for churches and faith-based organizations, since they play such a major role in meeting basic needs in many communities. If your congregation has a food shelf, feeding program, or homeless shelter on site, or you are providing employment training of some type, there actually may be more grant-funding available for your work. Funders are more focused on the education of children and youth. I have also watched a number of funders shift toward a focus on early childhood education and improving high school graduation rates. This may or may not mean that there is more funding available to your church, even if you sponsor educational programs for youth. Some funders are focused on improving public schools; for example, several large national foundations are now making grants for teacher training, curriculum enhancement, and computer technology, so they likely wouldn't fund a program at your church. Some funders take a different approach, supporting after-school programs focused on academics, so they might fund a program at your church. Early childhood education dollars are sometimes going directly to preschools or day cares, a promising opportunity if your congregation sponsors programs like these. But some funders are supporting broader initiatives to improve the overall field of early education or to help bring policy changes at the state and federal levels, which probably are not good fits for an individual congregation. The bottom line with these types of grants: Read the fine print in foundation and corporate funding guidelines. The funder usually will spell out exactly what it means by "Enhancing Educational Achievement," so pay attention to the details. Preparing a strong proposal is more important than ever. It's always important to write a high-quality proposal, but it's absolutely critical now with more organizations competing for fewer dollars. If your proposal is incomplete, doesn't fit with the funder's guidelines, or is unclear in places, you may not get a chance to improve it to clarify what you really meant. Funders "weed out" more proposals because of the reduced pool of grant dollars. Make sure yours doesn't get eliminated because of the mistakes mentioned above. It's always a smart time to learn how to write a grant. If your congregation is new to grant-seeking, it's a great time to learn about researching and writing grant proposals. Eventually, funders will have more money to give again, and your church will have developed new skills that may help you access new resources for ministry.

30 minutes by car from Granada, you can find the Masaya Volcano Natural Park. One of 78 protected areas of Nicaragua, it is considered one of the most interesting attractions in Central America. The park houses the Masaya shield volcano – the only volcano in the western hemisphere where you can drive right up to the rim. The view on top? Nothing less than amazing. The park hosts four more craters, an underground tunnel formed by lava and indigenous caves hosting a big group of bats. Nearby is an Ecological Museum where you can read about the history of the volcanoes.
