Lesson - Ruth Gleans In Boaz' Field
VERSES: Ruth 2:1-23
MEMORY VERSE: Ruth 2:17 "So she gleaned in the field until even..."
BOOK TO REMEMBER: Revelation. Write this very last book of the New Testament on small slips of paper and hand out to the students at the end of class.
PRAYER: Thank God for taking care of His children, providing everything that they need.
SPECIAL SONG: The Books of the Old testament and The Books of the New Testament (see March - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #3 on this blog).
VISUAL AID: A large Activity (see below). If you are a seamstress and have extra, inexpensive fabric, you might find making a pouch enjoyable to show the students. Those of us who are not seamstresses, paper works just fine!
When Naomi and her daughter-in-law, Ruth, journeyed out of Moab and arrived in Bethlehem, it was at the beginning of the barley season. Naomi's husband, Elimelech, who had died had a relative who lived in Bethlehem. He was a wealthy man and his name was Boaz.
Soon after their arrival in the city, Ruth talked to Naomi about allowing her to go out in to the fields and glean grain from the field of anyone who she would find compassion and kindness. Naomi was responsible Ruth since she was her daughter-in-law. Naomi said she could go.
The man who owned a field would hire people to come in and gather grain. They were called reapers and they would cut the grain and give the grain to the owner, so he could sell it. Then the owner would pay the reapers for helping him. If the owner was kind, he would let poor people come in after the reapers had done their work and glean or gather up the leftover grain that had fallen on the ground. Usually, there was not a whole lot of grain leftover, but poor people could pick up what they could.This is what was happening at the beginning of the barley season.
Now Ruth just happened to glean grain in the field of Boaz, Elimelech's relative. When Boaz came to his field, he noticed someone new and asked the reapers who she was. The reapers told him that she was the young Moabite woman who had come back with Naomi from Moab. They said she had asked to glean and gather after they had finished with the field. She had been working since the morning until now, though she had rested in a little house for a little while.
When the kind man, Boaz, heard this, he told Ruth not to go into other fields to glean, but to come back to his field and glean after his workers. He also said that no one would hurt her there and she could drink from the water that his men had drawn. Boaz was being very kind to Ruth. When Ruth heard Boaz' words, she fell on her face and bowed down to the ground and asked him why he was being so nice to her since she was a stranger?
Boaz told Ruth that he had heard things that Ruth had done since her husband had died, how she had left her family in her homeland of Moab and had come to live with the people in Bethlehem who she did not even know. He said that the LORD had paid her back all the work that she had done and that the LORD was taking care of her since she had come to trust Him. Ruth then said to Boaz to let her find favor in his eyes because he had comforted her and spoken friendly to her even though she was not like the other young women. Boaz told her to come up and eat beside the reapers which she did. This was an honor for a poor person and was highly unusual.
When Ruth went back to glean again in the field, Boaz instructed the reapers to drop some of the grain on the ground on purpose, so she could find it and pick it up. He told the young men to let her glean among the best grain and not to scold her. So Ruth gleaned until the evening time and when ut was measured, it came to about an ephah of barley which was a lot!
When she went back into the city and showed the grain that she had gleaned to Naomi, Naomi asked her where she had gleaned. She praised whoever it was that had shown kindness to Ruth. Ruth told Naomi that it was in Boaz' field that she had gleaned. Naomi was very happy that Boaz had continued his kindness to his relatives which were her and Ruth! Naomi said the Boaz was a close relative of their's. Ruth continued to tell Naomi that Boaz had told her to come and and glean only in his field. Naomi told Ruth to do as Boaz said. Ruth did as Naomi and Boaz suggested until the end of the barley season and lived with her mother-in-law, Naomi.
The LORD was taking care of Naomi and Ruth by connecting them to Boaz' field. Boaz was providing food for them and was being very generous because he was a godly man and wanted to take care of the poor which happened to be his relatives.
Discuss how much an ephah was. In American measurement is was about 6 gallons! That's a lot of barley! Naomi, no doubt, was very happy to have Ruth bring this much barley to her.
ACTIVITY: Ruth's Gleaning Pouch
Materials needed: 12" x 18" piece of brown construction paper, 9" x 12" tan construction paper, marker or crayon, scissors, staples, and stapler.
Hand out brown paper to students.
Cut one 2" x 18" strip off the brown paper. Set aside. This is the shoulder strap.
Fold the 11" x 18" paper almost in half, leaving a 2" overhang at the top. (see picture.)
Staple both short sides of the brown paper. This is the pouch.
Write "Ruth Gleans In Boaz' Field" and "Ruth 2" on brown paper.
Staple small end of long strip to the 2" overhang of paper on one side.
Staple the long strip to the other side of the 'pouch.' (see picture)
Hand out tan paper.
Fold tan paper in fourths.
Leave folded and cut into little pieces (1/2" x 1/2" squares). This is the grain.
Bible teacher choice: Either glue 'grain' on to the 2" overhang of brown paper OR you may want to let the students insert their grain into the 'pouch' instead.

The intension of the programme was to raise awareness to the different organizations for implementing 3D cadastre to secure the ownership and facilitate the real estate market.
The history of land recording in Nepal was started from one dimension (i.e. keeping the record only) and now the registration of two dimensions (i.e. measuring the length and breadth of the parcel and calculating area) is in practice. Basically, the legal boundaries of parcels used for the registration of the legal status are fixed in 2D space. Due to the high population growth and growing interest in using space under and above the surface (particularly in the urban areas) there is a need of registration of vertical dimension of the legal status of real estate objects. To be able to define and manage the juridical situation satisfactory, 3D information are becoming indispensable for land administration in Nepal.
France: Chartered Surveyors Mobilized around a National Objective: The Creation of a GPS Network of the Territory by the End of 2005
The French Order of Chartered Surveyors (Ordre des Géomètres Experts )has set itself the objective, by the end of 2005, of setting up a GNSS (“Global Navigation Satellite System”) network over the national territory, integrated with satellite geo-referencing, which will allow any user to position himself in real time with an accuracy down to the inch, anywhere within the territory, at any time. Already, 500 chartered surveyors, one third of the profession, are supporting the rollout of the network—the most substantial ever carried out in the world at a single time. The chartered surveyors intend to share this network in order to respond to the needs of other potential users: in local governments, in agriculture, public works contractors, network administrators, vehicle fleets, for housing stock, emergency preparedness, cartography institutes, research and universities.
The European Commission and the United States agreed on GPS/Galileo co-operation in Brussels in February 2004
The United States and the European Commission, joined by the European Union Member States, held a successful round of negotiations on GPS/Galileo co-operation in Brussels on 24-25 February 2004. The delegations built upon progress made in The Hague and in Washington and were able to reach agreement on most of the overall principles of GPS/Galileo cooperation, including,
Adoption of a common baseline signal structure for their respective open services
Confirmation of a suitable baseline signal structure for the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS)
A process allowing optimization, either jointly or individually, of the baseline signal structures in order to further improve performances
Confirmation of interoperable time and geodesy standards to facilitate the joint use of GPS and Galileo
Non-discrimination in trade in satellite navigation goods and services
Commitment to preserve national security capabilities
Agreement not to restrict use of or access to respective open services by end-users
Agreement to jointly finalize associated documents after which the agreement will be presented for signature
The delegations will continue to work diligently to resolve the few remaining outstanding issues which concern primarily some legal and procedural aspects.
The Netherlands Society of Geodesy merged into the new society Geo-Information Netherlands, GIN
The Geo-Information Netherlands, GIN was established late last year and has started under the new structure in January 2004. The new association is the result of a fusion of in total eight former societies of landsurveyors, catographers, remote sensing and photogrammetrists and others.
On October 23, 2003 the landscape of geo-related societies in the Netherlands changed considerable. Eight societies, among which the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Geodesie (the Netherlands Society of Geodesy), merged into the new society Geo-Informatie Nederland (Geo-Information Netherlands, GIN). The total amount of members is about 4,000 including 150 institutional members and about 800 academic members. The association is split up into five sections:
Landsurveying and Geodesy
Cartography and Geo-visualisation
Real Estate and Landinformation
Geo-ICT
Every section has a president and is member of the general board.
The new society Geo-Information Netherlands inherited all rights and obligations of the merged societies including the membership of FIG. Members of the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Geodesie (the Netherlands Society of Geodesy) are automatical members of GIN. The President of GIN is Leen Murre, Secretary is Wilbert Wouters (ir. W.J.C. Wouters) and the new treasurer is Maarten Bomers (ir. M.P.H. Bomers). The total number of general board members is 11 persons.

UNHCR and UN-Habitat sign a Memorandum of Understanding - Closing the gap between relief, reconstruction and development efforts in post-conflict and post-disaster area
The High Commissioner, Mr. Ruud Lubbers, and the Executive Director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka, Under Secretary-General, signed in the Geneva Headquarters of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees December 17, 2003 an operational Memorandum of Understanding opening the opportunity for operational linkages between the mandates of both organisations.
The significance of this agreement lies in the collaboration between an agency mandated to address the emergency and humanitarian obligations of the High Commission, and the developmental and longer term mandate of the Human Settlements Programme, with a view to ensuring "...systematic, predictable cooperation between the two organisations while building on the recognized expertise... of each organisation." Specific areas of collaboration will include among others: shelter solutions for refugees and returnees; settlement planning and management; land and property rights, restitution, and administration; infrastructure planning and development; and capacity building of local and national authorities.
The objective of this collaboration however, is to ensure that one end of the bridge spanning the gap between relief and development rests within the emergency humanitarian activities of UNHCR, and the other well into the longer term sustainable human settlements development activities typically undertaken by UN-HABITAT.
The longest map of the world?
In 2004 the Netherlands Committee for Geodesy will celebrate its 125th birthday. To draw some publicity to this occasion the Netherlands Kadaster decided to produce a cadastral map 1:2000 of a 332 km. cross section of the seemless cadastral database of the Netherlands, thus resulting in a 166 m. long map. It is the longest map of the Netherlands and maybe of the world. A photograph of the map was selected news-photograph of the day by the largest press agency of the Netherlands. Pictures of the map ("langste kaart" in Dutch) and a flash-animation can be seen on the website of Kadaster, www.kadaster.nl.
"This is better than learning math" - Made to Measure
Alberta Land Surveyors and the Science Alberta Foundation have launched an educational math program that has kids saying, "this is better than learning math" and "this is fun!"
Made to Measure is one of the newest crates offered as part of Science Alberta's Science in a Crate program. The crates are a treasure trove of scientific activities designed to engage minds through hands-on learning. In the Made to Measure crate, grade eight students get to try their hand at seven activities commonly performed by Alberta Land Surveyors. In the "world survey" activity, students draw and interpret scale diagrams while in the "that was then, this is now" activity, students estimate areas using photos and maps of property boundaries.
During the student testing of the crate, students were heard to say that doing the activities in the crate were better than doing math. They didn't realize they were learning about shapes and volumes.
The Made to Measure crate is based on the grade eight math curriculum and because the only cost to schools or libraries or community groups is a small handling charge, it is a great opportunity for those with limited budgets and resources.
The Made to Measure crate can be ordered by calling Science Alberta at + 1 403 220 0077 or visiting their website www.sciencealberta.org. Thanks to Science Alberta's supporters, users pay just $25 for a three-week booking, including shipping.

I Couldn’t Stick With a Single New Year’s Resolution, So I Tried 5
There are few more classic winter traditions than deciding at the peak of the season — you know, when the weather is gloomy, the sun seems to set roughly 40 minutes after you wake up, and you barely possess the energy required to microwave a plate of pizza rolls — that the time is exactly right to finally achieve every goal you’ve ever had.
In fact, the only more enduring tradition might be immediately failing at said goals. Or, at least, that’s the case for me. I’m a constant New Year’s resolution maker, and a constant New Year’s resolution failer. Whether I’m pledging to take up strength training, learn French, or start writing my novel (so that I can eventually pledge to finish writing my novel), I’ve pretty much never met a New Year’s resolution that I didn’t drop like . . . well, like the kettlebells that I bought for my New Year’s 2021 resolution (currently propping up a stack of books).
Obviously, not following through with New Year’s resolutions isn’t a problem that will ruin anyone’s life. Nor is it uncommon. As far back as the 19th century, people were writing about people making, and breaking, New Year’s resolutions.
And yet, I still felt bad about my apparent lack of stick-to-it-iveness. My New Year’s resolutions were usually projections of my ideal self — someone highly motivated, with a lot of focus and follow-through (i.e. not the person I am the other 364 days of the year). Whenever I failed yet again to transform into that person, I felt like a loser. I couldn’t believe I couldn’t make myself into a Kettlebell Person, and I thought it represented an obvious failure on my part.
According to Chicago therapist Kelly Neupert, LPC, a lot of New Year’s resolution success hinges on why you made the resolution to begin with. “If shame or fear is driving your goal, it’s unlikely to actually move the needle,” Neupert says. “It’s hard to want to do something when you’re sh*tting on yourself while doing it.”
That was exactly me. Even though making my resolutions felt like an act of hope, in the back of my mind, I was constantly thinking that this would be the year I would finally get it together, which, frankly, is a very negative approach. What’s making me think I’m not together already?
Resolutions that endure tend to be ones that “align with your values and what matters to you,” Neupert adds. “It’s something that you care about.” I didn’t really care about being a Kettlebell Person; I just thought people who stuck to the right kind of regular exercise plan were better than me, and I wanted to be better than I already was. I was starting to see the problem.
So, with Neupert’s perspective in mind, I decided to take a different stab at goal setting for 2023. Instead of trying to mercilessly morph myself into whoever I decided my ideal imaginary self was this year, I would just try to take care of myself — the person I am now. And instead of attempting one thing then feeling terrible when it didn’t work out, I would try everything.
OK, not literally everything; I’m not trying to become one with a multiverse or anything (although that is very on-trend).
But I would try several common self-care suggestions at once — meditating in the mornings, taking baths at night, trying gua sha, “hot girl walks,” and detaching from my phone. I figured that this way, it wouldn’t be so high-pressure if a few (or most) fell by the wayside. My resolution wasn’t to stick with any particular routine; rather, I was just trying to find some new ways of supporting my well-being. My hope was that this year, my whole sense of self and whether I had my act together wouldn’t hinge on whether I was in the mood to swing around a kettlebell that night.
And thus began my Week of Trying Every Self-Care Suggestion Ever.
If you’re anything like me (anxious, weird sleeping patterns, constantly give off a jangled, “one Dunkaccino away from going over the edge” vibe), people have been telling you to meditate for years. I’m well-versed in its benefits: stress reduction, improved sleep, better emotional regulation, yada-yada. And yet, I’ve always been too intimidated to try. What if I’m not only bad at picking up new habits . . . I’m actually bad at relaxing?
What I Did: Took five minutes to try to meditate every morning.
What Happened: Note the placement of the word “try” in the above sentence. Supposedly, all you need to do in order to meditate is focus on your breath. But I found, once I started trying, that trying to focus on my breath for five minutes was literally the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life. I couldn’t. My brain began to throw up random memories — embarrassing myself at summer camp! The plot of “Top Gun: Maverick”! Every interaction I’ve ever had with a dog who didn’t like me! I ended my five minutes frustrated and embarrassed.
It didn’t settle down over the course of the week, and I didn’t feel better, calmer, or less anxious. In fact, I felt more anxious, because I had learned about a new thing that I’m unable to do!
Luckily, meditation wasn’t the only goal I’d set for myself, because I was happy to quit trying and move on to my next self-care suggestion.
Taking Baths
I know many Bath People. I’m sure you do, too. They’re your friends who own tons of nice scented candles and seem to have aesthetically curated their dishware instead of just eating off whatever plates their last roommate left behind.
Bath People are always telling me to take more baths, insisting soaking in a tub has proven stress relief capabilities (Cleveland Clinic agrees, apparently).
Even so, I’ve been hesitant, because I have one of those tiny apartment bathtubs where you have to choose between submerging your knees and your boobs. And also, how could steeping in a bunch of hot water like a tea bag really be that useful for your mental health?
What I Did: Got in the bath for 20 minutes after work but before dinner every night.
What Happened: Well, it turns out that it’s very hard to fail at baths. In fact, probably the only way to fail at baths is to spend years refusing to take them, like I did. Even in my tiny apartment bathtub, having 20 minutes in which I had no job but to splash around and feel warm was great. All you Bath People are going, “Duh,” and I’m sorry I doubted you. I’d always considered bathing too time-intensive a process to commit to for daily life, but it felt nice to have something on my check list that wasn’t about work or somehow perfecting my life — something with the sole purpose of making me feel good.
Daily Mental Health Walks
I was already very familiar with what I’d call Overscheduled Girl Walks — walks where I’m sending overdue work emails and also calling my credit card company about a weird charge and also replying to texts from last week and also breaking out into a light jog, because actually, I was supposed to be on the subway five minutes ago. Mental health walks, often called hot girl walks (a term coined on TikTok and inspired by Megan Thee Stallion), are essentially the opposite of all of that — they’re long walks where you connect with your deeper self, focus on your accomplishments and goals, and absolutely do not scream, “SPEAK TO A REPRESENTATIVE!” repeatedly into your phone. They’re about the journey, not the destination, aka the kind of thing my therapist always urges me to do and that I never, ever actually do.
What I Did: Walked two miles every afternoon.
What Happened: Every day, I had to trick myself into going out on my walk, as if I were a dog being taken to the groomer: “Just go out the front door!” I’d tell myself. “If you don’t like it then, you can turn around and go back inside!” Of course, that was a trick: once I got to the front door, I’d feel silly just turning around, so I’d start walking. And once I got walking, I always felt great — it was wonderful to not be sitting at my desk and to be soaking up some of that ever-elusive winter sunshine.
But the memory of those feel-good effects never seemed to stick. Every day, it continued to be an ordeal to get myself out the door. The “stay inside” devil on my shoulder would argue, “Walking doesn’t really make a difference,” even though I genuinely came home every day day from my walk feeling so much happier and clearheaded. It was like I’d had a brain transplant (hot girl brain transplant?).
Self-care can feel kind of frivolous — so much so that we can be tempted to play down how much of a difference it makes, even when it obviously makes an enormous one. But I do my work, go to the gym, and go to the dentist, even when I don’t feel like it. My resistance to mental health walks had me wondering: why can’t I bring that same sense of responsibility to doing the things that I know make me feel better?
I enjoy slathering my face in serums and creams as much as anyone, but I’m no skin-care expert. So while I’d heard about gua sha (mostly via the mouths and Instagrams of my more-together friends, who claimed it helped relieve skin puffiness and facial tension), I’d never tried the practice myself. But now, after eyeing the gua sha tools at Sephora for weeks, it was time.
What I Did: Used a gua sha tool on my face for five minutes every night before bed, after I applied my skin care.
What Happened: To be clear, what I was doing had little relation to actual gua sha, a healing technique that originates from ancient Chinese medicine and requires training to learn. My technique was more like a face self-massage. And I have no idea if it depuffed my face at all. But god, was it soothing. Regardless of whether it actually accomplished anything, rubbing the stone tool across my face made me feel like I was accomplishing something, which is maybe just as good?
It was beginning to dawn on me that the thing that had driven so many of my self-improvement plans in the past was not an actual interest in whatever specific self-improvement activity I was after, but instead a yearning for the feeling that I was taking positive steps in my own life — that I wasn’t a total loser, but a person who could take care of herself. And not to be dramatic, but using this little stone tool was making me feel that way.
I don’t know if it was just that, like baths, the extra step in my routine represented time I was taking purely for myself, to make me feel good, and that kind of intentionality made me feel more together and assured. But if five minutes can do all that, does it really matter if I’m actually achieving lymphatic drainage?
No Phone During Lunch
I have no problem avoiding my phone during dinner, when I’m generally with my husband or a friend, catching up on our lives (like talking about how I’m a Bath Person now). But lunch is a different animal. I work from home, and I work different hours than my husband, so for lunch, I’m on my own — a situation that usually sends me diving headlong into my phone. I’ll often spend the entire meal in a social media daze, looking up 45 minutes later with no clear recollection of what I actually looked at, just a vaguely depressed feeling hanging over me. And yet, the idea of sitting in Sweetgreen with just my own thoughts and a kale caesar for company sounds like a waking nightmare beyond compare.
However, research shows that taking a break while looking at your phone is, mentally, the equivalent of not taking a break at all. So even though putting my phone away felt like parting with my firstborn child (a firstborn child who constantly shows me ads for skin-care laser treatments, but a firstborn child, nonetheless!), I knew I had to do it.
What I Did: Didn’t look at my phone for my lunch breaks, which varied in length from 10 to 60 minutes, for an entire week.
What Happened: Remember when I said that meditating was the hardest thing I had ever done? Please revise that statement: this was infinitely harder. On the first day, not looking at my phone for 10 minutes, in my own home, while I white-knuckled my way through a chickpea salad, was harder than taking the SATs. My brain was practically screaming, “What are we doing?? Where are my weird sponsored ads for vitamin-infused popcorn?? WHY HAVE YOU SEPARATED ME FROM THE ALGORITHM??”
But unlike the discomfort I felt while meditating, my discomfort while separating from my phone felt like proof that it was working, that it was healthy and necessary. It felt more like the ache of a well-exercised muscle after a workout.
I made it through two other sad desk lunches before tackling a true challenge: going to the salad place that’s a 20-minute walk away phone-free. I felt like a newborn baby animal taking their first steps — confused, scared, bewildered. Walking through my neighborhood without even a podcast to concentrate on was a wholly new experience. I felt like there were more people on the street, more noises, more smells (mostly of the off-putting variety — but hey, it’s New York).
Inside the salad place, which I’d visited dozens of times before, I still felt hypersensitized to what was going on around me — did they always play electronic music this loudly in here? Was this supposed to be music to eat salad by? But I did eventually get lost in my own thoughts (although, to be completely frank, my thoughts were mostly mentally singing songs that I’d normally be listening to on my phone).
To say I enjoyed my phone-free lunches with be incorrect; at best, I tolerated them, and at worst, I felt like I was slowly dying over the course of them. But I could tell that they were important for my brain — so important that I also started charging my phone in another room at night, so I wouldn’t look at it before bed. One week turned into the next, and the phone stayed in the other room. I read books before bed and went to bed sooner. Without even noticing it, I had finally created a self-care resolution that I could (maybe? probably) keep.
I’d always thought that my problems with my resolutions represented a moral failure on my part, an inability to “stick with it,” whatever “it” was. But as I learned during my self-care experiments, my main problem might have been that I was just trying to meet goals that I’d set for the wrong reasons — to feel like I was a cool, together person and block out my insecurities, instead of listening to my actual needs.
“The reality is the harder we try to get rid of negative emotions, the more we create,” Neupert says. “So if you’re journaling, meditating, or exercising because you want to get rid of, minimize, or diminish a feeling, you might get some short-term relief, but you’ll be hard-pressed to create long-term change.”
The same is true if you’re trying to “be happier,” she adds. “Happiness is an emotion — it’s fleeting. Chasing it is a useless waste of energy!” Neupert says. “The most meaningful things in life bring us joy, disappointment, grief, etcetera. Reframe your goal from living a happy life to living a meaningful one.”
In deciding to try different ways of taking care of myself, I’d somewhat inadvertently broken my former pattern of making resolutions with the unspoken but very real objective of changing myself into a better person. Throwing a bunch of self-care suggestions at the wall to see what stuck encouraged me to take stock of what I really needed to support the life I actually lived — which is, all things considered, pretty great.
If I keep up with the ones that felt nourishing forever, great. But even if they fall by the wayside, it won’t be a failure, just a sign that it’s time to try new things to see what works in my ever-changing life.
And maybe one day, that will include becoming a Kettlebell Person. But if not . . . there are worse things in the world.

Response to the US Embassy cable published on Wikileaks (Aug 30, 2011)
Sun, 4 Sep 2011
From my sister’s Facebook Fan Page.
Thanks for reading The Straits Times and for your support of this FB fan page.
I left Jakarta the week before last, after 2.5 years of an extremely exciting and meaningful experience reporting on Indonesia. I have since left The Straits Times to pursue a new career outside journalism.
A few days ago, Wikileaks released a US Embassy cable that quoted my name. This is my response to it. I sent an excerpt of this note to my former editors at the ST. They replied to thank me for making these clarifications.
I met with a political officer of the US Embassy in 2008 for an informal contact meeting, prior to my Jakarta posting.
I am not making excuses – his cable misrepresented what I said and I would like to place on record what actually transpired.
I did not say or suggest that there was a “disconnect” between editors and reporters at the The Straits Times. Neither did I say I would “never write about racially-sensitive issues”. My comments were taken wholly out of context.
The political officer was interested in whether reporters and their supervisors in the ST newsroom ever disagreed on story angles. He suggested that reporters – especially those who had gone to school in a liberal environment such as in the US – would feel constrained for whatever reason in the newsroom.
My response included these points: That reporters and their editors did engage in discussions over how stories should be written – with the ultimate aim being to produce balanced reports – but that the editors would of course have the final word on what went into print.
What I also said was that I believe that the ST is run by smart people who strive to do what’s best for its readers, even as they face pressure from a government seeking to set the tone and form of media coverage.
This is a position I held openly and consistently throughout my eight-year career at The Straits Times.
I also stated that I would not want to write articles containing racially-charged remarks that could incite hatred or create rifts within society. I pointed out an example of how baseless comments could create or aggravate tensions among people. I am surprised that what I still believe to be a responsible position to take was misconstrued as self-censorship.
Neither did I suggest in any way that I was “discouraged” with my life as a Singapore journalist. I expressed my readiness to take on a new challenge and learn about a new country. I said that I would need a year at the very least to assess if the role was right for me.
My recent decision to leave journalism had everything to do with my own personal goals. I wanted to try something new and the right opportunity came up. It was not related to opinions referred to above that I openly held nor to the suggested – and misrepresented – angst the cable indicated I felt.
I have had a fulfilling and rewarding time working with my editors at the paper.
Let us hop on the PIONEER bandwagon, you and I!

Bespoke HTML5 TV Show Games
Most audiences, especially the young and imaginative ones, may not be completely satisfied with just watching their favorite shows on TV.
If they made a connection with the characters, audiences will want to join them on epic adventures. And that is where bespoke HTML5 TV show games come in.
These games are effective marketing tools because fans can play and interact with the show on a whole new level. After watching an episode, they can play with their favorite characters on their smartphone, tablet, or computer.
They can play wherever they go, so the show will be easily remembered. Most games also have intuitive sharing features.
Players can take a screenshot of their high score, or invite their friends to play the game. This will make it easier for you to market your show without relying on expensive, traditional advertising methods.
Here are some examples of fun bespoke games that are based on TV shows.
Phineas and Ferb Backyard Defense
Backyard Defense is a tower defense game for promoting Disney Channel’s Phineas and Ferb. The goal is to construct different towers and prevent Dr. Doofenschmirtz’s evil minions from invading their home.
In the show, Phineas and Ferb are two intelligent brothers who have a knack for inventing things. The game was faithful to the show because it featured zany inventions that the brothers might actually create. It also encourages players to be creative and smart.
This is another game that market’s a Disney show. The series is about Randy Cunningham, a 9th grader who uses a superpowered ninja suit to save the day.
In this game, several robots have invaded his school and he needs to find their weakness to destroy them. It is action-packed and fun, just like the cartoon series.
Teen Titans Go! Food Fight
If you’ve watched Teens Titans Go!, you know how these teenage superheroes love to eat, especially pizza. Now, fans can dine with the Teen Titans in a crazy picnic by playing this game.
Food Fight was made in collaboration with Warner Bros. and DC Comics. You’ll be playing Robin, and your goal is to avoid the flying pizza slices thrown by your teammates.
At the same time, you can also knock them down by throwing a variety of junk food. As an HTML5 game, Food Fight is compatible with any devices. You can also play it directly on the website URL without downloading any apps.
Justice League Action Orbital Chase
Orbital Chase is a game for Justice League Action – the new hit cartoon series from Warner Bros and DC. Together with five superheroes from the show, you need to defeat several villains like Joker and Darkseid.
Each hero has a unique attack. You can activate them by connecting at least three, identical hexagonal tiles on the screen. Connecting more tiles produces more power.

TASCHEN Ice Cold. Art Edition No. 1-100. Zach Boisjoly 'Megan Thee Stallion'
Whether it's diamond-encrusted grills, oversized "truck" style chains, bust-down Rolex and Patek Philippe watches, or a Tiffany necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. Glittering, blinged-out jewels are the shining statement of a collective identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy. Spanning the history of hip-hop jewelry, from the 1980s to today, Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major hip-hop artist on record celebrate how "ice" has become a proclamation of identity and self-expression. Starting with Run-DMC's gold Adidas pendants and Eric B. & Rakim's ostentatious dookie rope chains and Mercedes medallions, the jewelry then transforms from street style into a booming design culture. The hip-hop tradition of "show up and show out" reaches new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, and Cardi B, whose over-the-top pieces integrate unique pop culture references, unconventional materials, and enduring collaborations with artists like Takashi Murakami. Author Vikki Tobak reveals-in great detail-the work of pioneering jewelers such as Tito Caicedo of Manny's, Eddie Plein, and Jacob the Jeweler as well as newer artisans such as Avianne & Co, Ben Baller/IF & Co, Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte, and many more. Ice Cold is a treasure trove of dazzling, inspirational style, featuring the work of leading photographers, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Chris Buck, Mike Miller, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson, and many more. A foreword by hip-hop superstar Slick Rick and essays by A$AP Ferg, LL COOL J, and Kevin "Coach K" Lee and Pierre "P" Thomas of Quality Control Music take us on personal journeys into their jewelry universe. Ice Cold goes beyond the ostentatious bling to reveal a transformative story that is loud and proud. Limited Art Edition (No. 1-100), with the print Megan Thee Stallion, New York, 2018, numbered and signed by photographer Zach Boisjoly Grammy-award-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion flaunts diamond bottom grills and a pendant on an iced-out Cuban link chain. Originally from Houston, Texas, her unapologetic style epitomizes the over-the-top innovations of Southern jewelry and music.

Hard times for wood pellet industry in Nova Scotia →
Protecting Nova Scotia’s true boreal forest
True boreal forest in Nova Scotia is special; “borealized” Acadian forest is not.
Maps show the occurrence of the boreal forest in the Maritimes (above, modified from Mosseler et al., 2003) and all of Canada (below, from Wikipedia).
We go to great efforts in Nova Scotia to “borealize” our native mixed Acadian forest by clearcutting on short rotations and use of herbicide to create even-aged, conifer-dominated forests. However, true boreal forest is restricted to the cool Cape Breton Highlands, and a narrow strip along our Atlantic and Fundy shores that is cooled by the Labrador current and by upwelling of cold water in the Bay of Fundy.
The 100 Islands Legacy Campaign, a conservation effort recently launched by the Nova Scotia Nature Trust, highlights the presence of essentially undisturbed boreal forest on islands off of the eastern shore of Nova Scotia; a number have been protected by the provincial government.
The largest chunk of boreal forest in Nova Scotia lies in northern Cape Breton. There, coniferous boreal forest dominated by balsam fir occurs on the more exposed plateau areas while mixed Acadian forest penetrates the area in deep, sheltered valleys. On the parts of the plateau subject to most extreme weather, the closed forest gives way to “taiga*”, an open barrens with stunted black spruce and low shrubs analogous to the taiga or “Forest Barrens” lying between the northern margins of the boreal forest and the tundra in the Canadian north; it is “a piece of the Arctic in Cape Breton“.
*The term “taiga” or “Taige” is variously applied to the larger Boreal Forest/Forest Barrens biome, or to just the Forest Barrens component (as in Parks Canada use of the term to describe the Northern Cape Breton ecosystems).
About 25% of the boreal forest and 80% of the taiga in northern Cape Breton occur within the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The boreal forest/taiga hosts many rare plant species and animal species at risk including Canada lynx, Bicknell’s thrush and American Martin.
This fir-dominated boreal forest undergoes recurrent defoliation by spruce budworm at intervals of 30-40 years. These are natural disturbances, each followed by opening of the land, regeneration of balsam fir, and then defoliation by budworm again. However after the last budworm infestation in the 1970s, a third of the boreal forest has not regenerated properly, thick mats of grass and ferns replacing the forest and persisting. A lot scientific evidence makes it clear that the cause is a “hyper-abundance” of moose. The number within the Park, for example, increased from 66 animals in the 1970s to more than 2000 by the mid-2000s.
“According to legend, Indigenous people promised the moose they would hunt it with love in their hearts, treat it with respect, share it with people in need and harvest all its part…That promise is at the core of the hunt, which in turn maintains the forest’s biodiversity and environment for the moose” – Clifford Paul, CBC Report
Photo courtesy of CC
In an effort to find a solution, Parks Canada is testing several approaches including “building fences, tree planting, and removing [culling] moose from a 20 km2 area of the park.” The experimental moose cull is being conducted in collaboration with Mi’kmaq peoples via the Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources. In the first cull, conducted in December 2015, 37 moose were removed from the 20 km2 test area, and the 2016 cull was completed Dec 10, with 50 moose removed. The project will continue until the spring of 2018 when the several approaches will be evaluated.
There is a lot more to the story than I have outlined. See links below for more about it.
The moose cull has not been without controversy but on the scientific side Parks Canada’s documentation of the state of the forest and the links to moose is thorough, available for all to view, and there has been extensive consultation. I wish I could say the same for the NSDNR science behind pervasive clear-cutting in Nova Scotia.
The future of boreal forest in Nova Scotia could be sketchy because of climatic warming (including changes in the ocean currents that cool the coastal boreal forest), but at least Parks Canada is doing its best to keep the Park ecosystems in good shape.
Adapting to climate warming in Nova Scotia
The future of the Acadian forest in Nova Scotia is also sketchy, not because of climatic change, but because we choose to “borealize” it, i.e. convert it to even-aged conifer-dominated systems. Ironically, we do so not as climate is cooling, which would be adaptive management, but as climate is warming and becoming less favourable to the boreal species:
“Short-rotation clearcutting has led to increasing representations of formerly rare, large-opening opportunist species (Erickson et al. 1999) that are more common in boreal ecosystems. Plantation silviculture with boreal conifers to enhance softwood fiber production has hastened such species transitions. Clearcutting has diminished the incidence of multiaged forests and large ultimate survivor trees that provide reservoirs of reproductive fitness and genetic diversity (Mosseler et al. 2003). Raised rotten-wood nursery microsites, which prevent the smothering of small-seeded species regeneration (Koroleff 1954), have become rare. Exposure-resistant
boreal forest species are expected to be less able to adapt to the significant northward shift of life zones that is forecast (Thompsonet al. 1999).” – Peter Salonius, 2007
Yet our government and, apparently, the bureaucracy advising it, steadfastly insist that NSDNR forest management is scientifically based and “aligned with the nature-based requirements of Nova Scotia’s lands.”
Go figure.
Boreal Forests/Taiga – Eastern Canadian Forests
World Wildlife Fund. “This ecoregion is distinguished from the Central Canadian Shield Forests [NA0609] by a more maritime influence and balsam fir as the climatic climax species. The Eastern Canadian Forests characterize forested land in eastern Quebec, much of Newfoundland, and disjunct occurrences in the highlands of New Brunswick, and Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.”

Coastal Forest Group
Description of coastal boreal vegetation in NS Forest Ecosystem Classification “The composition and vigour of coastal forest Vegetation Types (VT) are influenced by cool, moist climate conditions and exposure associated with the Atlantic Coastal ecoregion and Bay of Fundy shore. These VTs have strong boreal affinities and are considered indicative of Maritime Boreal ecosites…Crown closure can vary within and between VTs of this group. Black spruce, white spruce and balsam fir are the main overstory species. Red maple and white birch will also reach the upper canopy on more sheltered or distant sites. A suite of plants can be used to indicate coastal influence including heart-leaf birch, mountain-ash, downy alder, bayberry and foxberry. Red spruce, sugar maple, beech, hemlock and to a lesser extent white pine are seldom found in the coastal forest group (except along the Bay of Fundy and Tusket Islands where red spruce is found).”
Highland Forest Group
Description of Cape Breton highland forest vegetation in NS Forest Ecosystem Classification .”The composition and vigour of highland forests are influenced by moist, cold climate conditions and exposure associated with the Cape Breton Taiga and Cape Breton Highlands ecoregions. These Vegetation Types (VT) have strong boreal affinity and are considered indicative of Maritime Boreal ecosites…Vegetation types are closed canopy forests. Softwood VTs are dominated by balsam fir and/or white spruce; with yellow birch, white birch and red maple dominating hardwood VTs. Heart-leaf birch is common throughout the group, and mountain-ash can reach tree size in some stands (both species are indicators of highland conditions). In the herb layer, the presence of large-leaf goldenrod is also indicative of this group. The bryophyte layer can be diverse, but the dominant species are Schreber’s moss followed by stair-step moss and broom moss.”

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Pipeline Overview
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common preventable and treatable disease. It is a poorly reversible lung disease characterized by persistent and progressive airflow limitation caused by an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lungs due to noxious particles or gases. Excessive Smoking is the leading risk factor for COPD. In addition, occupational and environmental exposure to chemical fumes, dust, and other lung irritants accounts for 10–20% of cases. People with a history of severe lung infections in childhood are more likely to develop COPD. Also, α1 antitrypsin deficiency is a rare cause of COPD. The most common symptom of COPD is chronic and progressive dyspnea. Production of cough and sputum is present in up to 30% patient population.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Emerging Drugs
Benralizumab: AstraZeneca
Benralizumab (FASENRA) is a monoclonal antibody that binds directly to the IL-5 receptor alpha on eosinophil and attracts natural killer cells to induce rapid and near-complete depletion of eosinophil via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The drug is approved by the US FDA for asthma and is currently being developed for other respiratory and immunological disorders such as COPD, atopic dermatitis, and others. The drug was earlier in GALATHEA and TERRANOVA trials (randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trials that assessed the safety and efficacy of Fasenra 30mg and 100mg for preventing COPD exacerbations). At present, the drug is in RESOLUTE (Phase III trial) to evaluate its efficacy and safety.
MV130: Inmunotek S.L.
MV130 (BACTEK) is a bacterial mucosal vaccine or a bacterial polyvalent vaccine in a spray that is administered sublingually to treat recurrent respiratory tract infections in children and adults. MV130 plays a relevant role in modulating the functional activity of the innate and adaptive immune response by stimulating dendritic cells, which are part of innate immunity. A Phase III clinical trial is evaluating MV130 in patients with COPD. At present, the trial is ongoing in Spain.
SB-240563: GlaxoSmithKline
SB-240563 (mepolizumab) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks human interleukin 5 (hIL-5) from binding to its receptor. Initial clinical studies investigated the safety and efficacy of SB-240563 for the treatment of asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD). SB-240563 reduced peripheral and tissue eosinophils in patients with asthma and healthy volunteers. Currently, it is in the Phase III stage of the clinical trials.
SAR440340: Sanofi/Regeneron
SAR440340 (Itepekimab) is a humanized IgG4P monoclonal antibody that blocks human interleukin 33 (hIL-33) from binding to its receptor. IL-33 is an epithelial cytokine that initiates and amplifies innate and adaptive type 2 and 1 inflammatory pathways in response to epithelial insults due to exposure to allergens, viruses, cigarette smoke, and pollutants. SAR440340 was invented using Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune technology that yields optimized fully-human antibodies and is being developed jointly by Regeneron and Sanofi as part of a global collaboration agreement.
CHF 6001: Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.
CHF6001 is a novel inhaled phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor developed as an extrafine formulation (i.e., with mass median aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2 μm) and low systemic exposure. This allows CHF6001 to reach a therapeutic concentration in the target organ, the lung, with reduced systemic exposure, limiting systemic adverse effects. The drug is administered through a dry powder inhaler (DPI NEXThaler).
YPL 001: Yungjin Pharm. Co., Ltd.
YPL 001 is a drug molecule that belongs to the anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine class of drugs. The drug is being developed for COPD. YPL-001 is a product developed using wild chives, which grow naturally in nature, as a raw material. A Phase II trial was conducted in US hospitals to assess the drug’s safety in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. In Phase I studies, YPL-001 was well tolerated in healthy subjects following single (up to 320 mg) and multiple (up to 240 mg twice daily [BID]) oral doses with no serious adverse events (AEs).

The Return Of Hope For New York Jets Fans……Just Slightly Delayed
The news that Robert Saleh is now the head coach of the New York Jets should have Jets fans feeling cheery and optimistic, probably the best they’ve felt in a long while. Maybe not since the false promise of that 10-6 finish in 2015?
For a ten-day window in late December 2018 and January 2019, the future looked pretty bright. Rookie quarterback Sam Darnold had looked really sharp in late-season games against Buffalo, Green Bay, and Houston. All the Jets needed to do was connect Darnold with an offensive-minded coach who could maximize his talents and build an offensive line and weapons at skill positions around him, and they would be back in the playoff hunt.
And then the Jets hired Adam Gase, and our lives turned into a Bad Idea Jeans commercial. From that first bug-eyed press conference, deep in our guts, we could feel that churning, sickening sensation that with one head coaching hire, most of Darnold’s rookie contract years were destined to be wasted.
And now, as March begins, with free agency starting in a couple weeks, the draft next month, and an obsessively discussed “quarterback carousel” that could put a perennial Pro Bowler in a Jets uniform, we should be brimming with excitement about the coming season, but… we’re stuck on the tarmac, waiting for clearance from the tower.
Would DeShaun Watson be a transformative player if he were to end up in the green-and-white? Sure. Any quarterback who can come close to passing for 5,000 yards on an abysmal 4-12 team is about as dynamic as they come. The only nagging doubt about the Jets trading for Watson are the reports that Houston Texans management expects a king’s ransom with additional interest in return. If that report about Carolina offering three first-round picks and running back Christian McCaffrey are true, the Panthers are betting that Watson is the equivalent of four impact players… which feels like a big gamble. (The value of the Jets’ second overall pick probably ought to be considered as closer to two number ones; the trade value of the second overall pick is roughly equal to the last four picks of the first round.) These four first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 are a rare opportunity for the Jets to make big steps.
(As for that other hot rumor, count me as among those who find the notion of the Seattle Seahawks trading Russell Wilson just about unthinkable, at least for now.)
Assuming that the Jets cannot trade for Watson, the question then becomes whether to stay with Darnold or take a chance with either Justin Fields or Zach Wilson. The NFL beat writers seem strangely convinced that the Jets will stick with Darnold, which strikes me as the wrong move.
I am in the odd position of simultaneously believing A) Darnold is not washed-up or incapable of consistently playing well and B) both he and the Jets would be better off going their separate ways.
In a different environment, with better talent around him, and not saddled with The Worst Coach in the Modern NFL ™, it is not difficult to envision Sam Darnold having a Ryan Tannehill-style renaissance. Even in a mostly disappointing 2020 season, Darnold again demonstrated he can throw into narrow windows, evade rushers and extend plays with his legs, and scramble effectively when he sees room in front of him. Give Darnold consistent pass protection, a running game that can set up fewer third-and-longs, and some taller receivers who don’t drop passes, and I think he can carve up this league.
I just don’t know if he can do it in a Jets uniform.
What is clear is that Darnold, at least at this stage of his career, cannot elevate the play of the players around him. There’s not too much shame in that; only a handful of the top quarterbacks at any given time can do that. He also consistently misses three games a year, which is not disastrous but also not ideal. But Darnold is always going to have to live with comparisons to the other quarterbacks selected in the first round of 2018. Lamar Jackson was named MVP. Josh Allen got his team to the AFC Championship Game. Baker Mayfield’s gotten his team into the playoffs and beaten the Steelers. And Josh Rosen is in the FBI’s Witness Protection Program. (checks notes) I’m sorry, Rosen is now a backup for the San Francisco 49ers.
If the Jets keep Darnold, he won’t just have the pressure of being the third overall pick of the 2018 draft, who has so far produced three mostly disappointing or inconsistent years. His $10 million salary hit will still be a relative bargain, although the prospect of picking up a fifth-year option at $25 million for 2022 feels pricey considering his production so far.
If the Jets keep Darnold, he’ll face the pressure of not being Justin Fields or Zach Wilson or whomever the Jets would have taken with that 2nd overall pick. Darnold will be consistently compared to those two. If the Jets don’t trade for Watson or draft Fields or Wilson, they will have probably used their copious salary cap space and draft capital to strengthen the offense around Darnold. There won’t be any excuses for Darnold anymore. A disappointing 2021 season would indeed tattoo the label “FLOP” on the former USC standout.
While Darnold conceivably could defy all the odds and become the nimble gunslinger that Jets fans have envisioned for three years… Joe Douglas, Robert Saleh and Mike LaFleur are probably better off with “their guy” at quarterback, on a salary-cap-friendly rookie contract. If the interest in trading for Darnold is as great as some NFL columnists suggest, the Jets should get that late first rounder or early-to-mid second rounder and let Darnold start over in some new situation with less pressure. If it’s possible, ship Darnold off to the NFC, where any future renaissance wouldn’t stand in the way of the Jets’ path to the Super Bowl. The Washington Redsk- er, Football Team might be a good fit. San Francisco seems to have fallen out of love with Jimmy Garoppalo. The Chicago Bears are still looking for an upgrade from Mitch Trubisky. Does New Orleans want a backup plan for Taysom Hill? Atlanta? Reunite Sam with Robby Anderson in Carolina if the Watson trade doesn’t work out?
The mock drafts that seem to appear every day this offseason are all forced to begin with shaky assumptions about what the Jets’ roster will look like in April. We won’t know whether the Jets ought to select a new quarterback in the draft until Houston and DeShaun Watson come to an agreement about his fate. We won’t really know the preeminent draft needs until free agency is complete. And while one thing is already guaranteed for 2021 – better coaching – we won’t really know what expectations are reasonable for this team until we see how free agency and the draft shape the roster. Back to meaningful games in December? Contending for a wild card spot? Challenging the Bills for an AFC East title?
We should be flying high in 2021… as soon as the tower clears us for take-off.

Egypt church blasts: Dozens killed as bombs hit Palm Sunday services
April 10, 2017 February 23, 2021 by admin
Middle Easy Eye
IS claims deadly blasts that tore through worshippers in Tanta and Alexandria, in latest attacks on Egypt’s Copts
At least 36 people have been killed and scores injured in bomb blasts at two churches in northern Egypt as worshippers gathered for Palm Sunday mass, in the latest attacks on Egypt’s Coptic Christians.
Both bomb blasts were claimed by the Islamic State group via their Amaq news agency.
The first blast hit the St George’s church in the Nile Delta city of Tanta, 120km north of Cairo, killing 25 and injuring about 70 others as hundreds attended a service.
Eleven people were killed and 66 reported injured in a second blast hours later outside Alexandria’s St Mark’s cathedral, the seat of the Coptic pope Tawadros II.
Egyptian state security said a suicide bomber caused the explosion in Alexandria, where Tawadros had given a service hours before.

This game traces its lineage back to 6th century India It’s derived from the game Pachisi also very similar to Spanish board game Parchís. Ludo King is a cross platform multiplayer game.
*NEW Snakes and Ladders game added.

Ludo game has stayed popular throughout the ages, varying only a little in its game structure. This persevering game is now available for you to play in an all new modernized format, i.e. as a video game application.
The game is played between 2 to 4 players and you have the option of playing the game against the computer, against your friends, or even against people from around the world. The objective of the game is pretty straightforward; each player gets 4 tokens, these tokens must make a full turn of the board and then make it to the finish line.
Whoever gets all four tokens to the end first is the winner. However, each move can only be made based on the number decided by casting a six-sided die, and each token can only move out of their home by casting a six. Additionally, the competition factor of the games is upped by the fact that while moving if another player’s token lands on the same square as your token, then your token will automatically be sent back home and you’ll need to roll a six again.
Ludo King is a game that was once played by kings and now it can be enjoyed by you and your family and friends. While the gameplay might seem simple at first, the game is immensely enjoyable and challenging. You’ll be playing this one for hours and its fun for the whole family. Try to beat your opponents and compete for the highest scores on the leaderboards.
Snake and Ladders
Another game similar in structure is Snakes and Ladders. Like Ludo, you may have played this board game when you were young. Ludo King now incorporates this classic game as a whole new level. The objective of the game is simple. You start on 1 and you have to be the first one to make it to 100.
However, you can only move the same number of tiles as the number you roll on a die. The board is also littered snakes and ladders. If you land on the same tile as the beginning of a ladder, then you can take the ladder as a shortcut and move on up. But, if you land on the mouth of a snake, then down you go to its tail. A game of ups and down, Snakes and Ladders has been a favorite for generations; and now you can play it too, with Ludo King.

2009-11-07 Tuberculosis The Forgotten Disease – Part 6 – Winnipeg Free Press
Aside from improving housing, experts say there are a number of things that would help reduce the number of TB cases:
1) Treat people close to home
Experts such as Dr. Michael Gardam say there’s no reason for infectious TB patients to be flown to urban hospitals from remote communities for treatment. Other provinces, Ontario among them, don’t medevac patients — TB experts in Toronto communicate with nursing station staff via phone and email and help manage TB cases from start to finish.
Gardam’s Toronto clinic has used that model to help communities such as Sioux Lookout. He says it works well in alleviating some of the historical fear associated with the disease. Getting patients started with drug treatment as soon as possible is key, he said, and most infectious patients can stay at home and wear a mask instead of being hospitalized.
The only patients hospitalized at his clinic are difficult drug-resistant cases and patients who are under court order to finish treatment.
“It’s not ideal, but it’s better than shipping them to another community,” said Gardam, the director of infection prevention and control at Toronto’s University Health Network, the country’s largest research hospital.
“Why the hell does someone from Sioux Lookout want to come to Toronto?”
2) Encourage more patients with ‘sleeping’ TB to take medication.
While patients with infectious TB can’t refuse medical treatment since they are a risk to the public, patients with sleeping TB aren’t obligated to complete drug therapy. The drug treatment for both phases of the disease takes months to complete and comes with side-effects.
“That is one of the biggest challenges,” said Dr. William Libich, medical officer with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. “Right now, we see contacts that have refused therapy and have gone on to develop TB.”
Doctors don’t know which patients will develop active TB disease. Certain risk factors — HIV and diabetes among them — increase a patient’s likelihood of getting sick from TB. For that reason, researchers are working on a shorter treatment for sleeping TB.
3) Improve TB drugs
Dr. Dick Menzies, director of the respiratory division at the McGill University Health Centre, is testing whether four months of the anti-TB drug rifampin are as effective a treatment for sleeping TB as the drug that must be taken for nine months.
He said shortening the time it takes to complete the medication could help encourage more patients with sleeping TB to take the drugs.
“Even four months (of treatment) isn’t great. It’s a long time,” Menzies said. “It’s hard to get people through a week of antibiotics.”
Because the disease typically manifests itself among marginalized people, Menzies said pharmaceutical companies haven’t taken a keen interest in researching better medications. There is little financial incentive for major drug manufacturers to spend money on research since the vast majority
of the world’s TB patients live in poor, developing countries.
4) Combat racism
University of Saskatchewan TB researcher Paul Hackett said a lot of the problems in First Nations communities, including diseases such as TB and diabetes, are the fallout from decades of failed colonial policies. The problems stem from the federal government forcing First Nations people to abandon their traditions and live on reserves and in residential schools. The repercussions are huge, Hackett said, but he cautioned that government spending is a simple answer to very complicated social problem. He said the province needs to combat racism toward First Nations people if there’s ever going to be a true solution.
Hackett met a man in Cross Lake who spent a lot of time in treatment for TB as a boy after he contracted the disease in a residential school — a traumatic, defining event he suspects many Canadians would tell him “to get over.”
“There’s an undercurrent in the population that says, ‘well, they get free education, free this, free that, they don’t pay taxes and they should stop whining about what happened with the treaties, 100 years or so ago,’ ” he said.
“You’re telling him to get over a defining moment in his life, and yet they wouldn’t say that to other people. They’re very quick to tell people to get over huge issues that aren’t that old.”

While Mr. Hackett says that it is a “complicated social problem” with “huge repercussions,” the solution he offers is “the province needs to combat racism.” Simple enough solution, don’t you think? Maybe something was lost in the translation.
However, the solution is indeed quite simple… its called EQUALITY. How to achieve it might be more problematic and involve more than a provincial government. A logical starting point is in the “legislated racism” of instruments like the Indian Act, the reserve system, etc. But I submit that pressure for reform must come come from ALL quarters. One’s income, lifestyle, ancestry, religion, housing situation, shoe size, etc., etc. … its all irrelevant. A genuine personal belief in equality is what counts. We can’t, and shouldn’t, continue to blame someone else [like “the government” for instance.] If one needs to blame someone, then blame can lie with all who don’t promote equality!

Black type for Finepoint
Patience is paying off for David and Angela Paykel with their homebred mare Finepoint, who stepped up to stakes level on Saturday with a good third in the Group 3 Angst Stakes (1600m) at Randwick for Chris Waller Racing.
The lightly raced four-year-old mare has had just nine starts to date and never finished further back than fourth, with four metropolitan wins to her credit and a further four placings, plus $188,000 in the bank. Finepoint's first run this campaign resulted in a three-quarter length win over Sibaaq (GB), who subsequently ran second in Saturday's $1million Five Diamonds Prelude.
Finepoint hails from the final crop of star New Zealand sire Pins and is also the final foal of her wonderful dam Zarzuela. Saturday's stakes placing saw her become the third stakes horse produced by Zarzuela from seven live foals. She joins Serious Satire (Group 3 winner) and Star Tsar (Group 2 placed) as stakes horses for their dam, all three of whom were foaled at Willow Park.
The family is a source of pride for the Paykels, who purchased Finepoint's second dam Star Satire (Volksraad) for NZ$130,000 as a yearling in 1999 and she went on to be NZ Champion 3YO Filly Sprinter, with five wins including the Group 1 Otaki-Maori WFA Stakes. The Paykels bred three foals from Star Satire before selling her on, the third of those foals being Zarzuela, a dual Group 2 winner who also ran third in the Group 1 New Zealand Oaks, beaten just a short head by a half head.
Zarzuela retired to stud after just 10 starts, producing a Redoute's Choice colt in her first season that sold for $720,000 through Willow Park's Inglis Easter yearling draft. Serious Satire (More Than Ready) was foaled the following year, winning at Group 3 level for the Paykels before retiring to emulate her dam, with her first foal (Exceed and Excel colt) selling for $760,000 through Willow Park's Inglis Easter draft of 2020, when the sale was forced to be conducted online due to the emergence of Covid-19.
Zarzuela foaled Finepoint at Willow Park in 2018, before returning to New Zealand in foal to More Than Ready. Tragically, both mare and foal died during birth, prompting the Paykels to retain Finepoint as the final filly from their wonderful mare.
Expertly managed by Chris Waller, the mare has stepped up through the grades and looks to have a bright future ahead of her, franking the Paykel's faith in a superb family that continues t

Cheap Corolla Lease Rates
Attempting to boost it's position in the price sensitive compact car market, Toyota is cutting it's lease rates on the newly redesigned 2014 Corolla, and boosting the car's residual value. Considered a gamble in the automotive industry, Toyota is trying to regain it's market share in the competitive segment. The move is not without controversy though. Skeptics are questioning Toyota's new residual values for the Corolla, which have been set significantly higher than in the past. For Toyota's strategy to work, the lease-end value of the Corolla must be much higher than those of it's competition, many of which have produced higher residual values than the Corolla for some time.
The Toyota Corolla is one of the best selling cars of all time. Since it's introduction in the 1960s, nearly 40 million copies have been sold. In Canada, more than 1.3 million Corollas have been sold. Suddenly facing competition, Toyota knew that they could no longer rely on people's perception of the Corolla's reliability and resale value to sell cars. For the first time since 2002, it's not the best selling compact car in Canada, dropping to third behind the Hyundai Elantra and the Honda Civic. The last time the Corolla had a makeover was in 2009. The long awaited eleventh generation will be available in dealerships this fall. It's dynamic styling seems to be inspired by Toyota's Furia concept that we saw in Detroit, as well as the Camry and the Avalon. It's bigger than it's predecessor too. The platform is four inches longer than that of the current version, making for a roomier interior and improved handling. The 2014 Toyota Corolla saves weight by using lighter, high strength steel, and improved the ride by stiffening the body with reinforcements.
Leaked Information about 2014 Toyota Corolla
To date, the very best concept we have of exactly what the 2014 Toyota Corolla will appear like is the shape and styling of the Furia Principle from this year's Detroit International Auto Show. Yet there is now another glimpse at what the future Corolla will look like. Released on Toyota's official Facebook page, the image bellow plainly reveals the back side of the 2014 Corolla S. Though the reduced angle is a bit wonky, we can clearly see that the shape of the taillight cluster is really just like that of the Furia, albeit without the exact same LED usage. You can also notice a bit of a trunk-lid spoiler which is also following the Furia's lead.
