DETROIT: Volkswagen AG 's promise to fix pollution control systems on about 11 million diesel vehicles will involve changes to software, and possibly hardware, that could leave owners with cars that deliver diminished fuel economy and performance or require more maintenance, experts said Tuesday.
The German automaker's new chief executive, Matthias Mueller, said Tuesday VW customers would need to have those diesel cars "refitted." The company did not specify what the refitting might entail. Some analysts have said the job could cost more than $6.5 billion.
A former executive of Volkswagen's U.S. operation said Tuesday the company may be required to change only software, and not hardware, to bring older diesel models now deemed illegal into compliance with U.S. emissions standards.
Other experts and U.S. regulators said the German automaker likely will have to come up with two sets of solutions for two different emission-control systems installed on 482,000 U.S. diesel cars from model years 2009-2015.
VW has admitted using software that circumvented U.S. and California pollution rules by fully activating the exhaust scrubbing systems only when the car was being put through precisely prescribed government emissions tests.
VW hasn't said why it used the illegal "defeat device" to deceive regulators. But the results, at least in the short term, were beneficial: VW was able to pass laboratory tests that showed its U.S. diesel cars met the relevant regulations, but then switched off the emission control devices while driving.
The benefits of switching the pollution control systems off were different depending on which system the vehicles used, experts said.
VW initially installed the illegal software, beginning in late 2008, on 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel engines fitted with devices known as "lean NOx traps," designed to reduce nitrogen oxides in engine exhaust. Nitrogen oxide emissions have been linked to smog, acid rain and lung cancer.
EPA on September 25 said it would take longer to fix older VW diesels from model years 2009-2014 that used the lean NOx traps.
Any device used to control nitrogen oxide emissions typically "diminishes the performance and fuel economy" of diesel engines, according to automotive consultant Sandy Munro.
Older VW diesels could be made to function properly with a software fix, said Marc Trahan, who retired in late 2014 as executive vice president of group quality after a 35-year career with VW and its Audi subsidiary. They should not need to have newer hardware installed, which would take much longer, require extensive "re-engineering" and be cost-prohibitive, he said.
Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen offered the same 2.0 TDI engines with a more sophisticated and expensive emissions control system called Selective Catalytic Reduction. These systems, which debuted on VW's largest car, the Passat, injected a liquid urea solution into the exhaust to break down the nitrogen oxides.
These systems also had software that turned them off during normal driving, the company has admitted. The consequences of running the systems all the time will be different for consumers than the older, NOx traps.
Ideally, the urea solution used to control smog-forming gases is supposed to be replaced every 10,000 miles, typically by a dealer, but VW encountered potential problems.
On newer models with the SCR system, Trahan said there were concerns within the company about the urea consumption being so great that it would require separate "fill-ups" every 5,000 miles, rather than the desired 10,000-mile intervals that are typical between engine oil changes. | 2019-04-20T23:00:54 | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/illegal-vw-diesel-emission-systems-may-require-two-solutions/49161833 | [

Seventeen is off her rocker again. Wisdom, patience, opportunity to show love, and her receptivity to the Truth as she struggles through this again. Thanks.
Persevere, mumsee. I remember when we were at this stage with our relative. He now lives a fairly normal life in his own apartment, has friends, leads and attends bible studies etc. My prayers for you, her and the others she may frighten and those who prescribe.
My husband could use some prayer. He goes for a biopsy tomorrow and is quite nervous about it. Of course, anything like this is nerve-wracking for all of us. We do know God is good and He has us in His hands.
Praying for your husband and you and the doc, for wisdom.
I’m going to add to her request that God’s hand will be seen in this situation, and that Josh’s dad, John, will finally come to faith in Christ. He sometimes comes to church with his wife and family, but doesn’t seem to have made a full turn to Christ.
And of course, please pray for peace through this for Jenna, Josh’s mom. Thank you.
I’d appreciate prayers for relief from a headache; for ability to concentrate as I pull together my notes for the Judges’ Morning Meeting I’m leading Saturday; for one of my subs to come through to judge for one judge who got very sick today and won’t be able to make it Saturday; and for one of our teachers who is scheduled to work a half-day at auditions, but has been displaying some mildly-concerning behaviors lately (she’s in her 80s and appears to be in cognitive decline). Wisdom for my teammates and me. | 2019-04-21T03:23:19 | https://wanderingviews.com/2019/03/21/prayer-requests-3-21-19/ | [

Like it is for so many who travel, visiting a foreign country, a good place to start tourism in Mexico is with its rich culture by way of its history. This is why the tremendous attraction, the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico is a must for those eager to delve into central American culture. Its artifacts are countless and speak volumes about the people that they represented and what they believed. This is why many people who leave this museum walk out with so much more perspective than they could have dreamt before walking in.
The museum can be described as a wonderous place that is begging to be admired, as evidenced by the huge umbrella like structure that hovers over you as you make your way through the entrance and into the courtyard, where you will become surrounded by multiple cultural opportunities. The best place to start, however, for a first time visitor is through the right where you can find the temporary exhibits, which are sure to impress those who appreciate once in a lifetime culture exhibits. You might find yourself beholding artifacts from ancient Egypt, dynastic China or medieval Europe.
Afterwards you can continue through to the welcoming portion of the museum which is tasked with introducing visitors to the realm of anthropology and its various branches. Here, you can learn by reading and admiring fantastically assembled charts and diagrams about the 4 main branches of anthropology, which include thus far, physical, social, ethnological and linguistic. The main point is to get your curiosity juices flowing and eager to find out what else is in store, but there is a big theme that is great to keep in mind. How man evolved in respects to nature, culture and diversity.
This leads to the first big exhibit area which is focused on our oldest relatives. If you like to view links deep into the past, this is sure to be a treat. Some of the world´s oldest bones, or their replicas, can be found here and you can learn about where we are in the timeline of the world. Its actually a very humbling place that forces you as an indiviudal to realize that we all have very deep roots and have indeed come a long way. This is also a great opportunity to become famliarized with the idea of scientific categorization and how it eases understanding by trying to define clearly, the branching that has taken place in the tree of life.
The next exhibit area is dedicated to the first peoples of the Americas. It really is quite intriguing as you allow yourself to ask, how did they live, what where their beliefs, and how defined and important was their idea of culture. To help visitors answer these questions, the exhibit features a number of scaled down models that are quite beautifully detailed. There are also numerous artifacts that archeologists have uncovered and range from adornments and dolls to small statues.
Here´s where Mexico´s place in history really begins to emerge and take shape. You can learn a great deal about what is referred to as Meso-America, or the more recent history of centralized American native groups. You can learn about how the name Mexico is actually derived from a group of people called the Mexicas who lived around where the city is located, and beyond. Its pretty exciting stuff to check out as you will notice that the cultures are evolving towards much of what Mexican´s now identify as modern culture. The key to appreciating this area properly is to try to follow the progress that humanity in this neck of the world makes steadily and surely.
After this exhibit, you are actually encouraged to tour around and explore the rest of the museum as you wish. You can skip ahead to the stairs which will take you to the second floor which will break down modern cultures in central america by exhibiting large scale models, and tribal pieces and artifacts of all shapes, sizes and functions. However, most people find that they are just too eager to see what the Mayan and Aztec portions of the museum have to offer. After all, they were immense empires that were brought to their ends very suddenly. If there is one, or two, parts of the museum in which you´ll wish you´d of brought your camera, they are it. It´s really hard to do the stone and exquisite artifacts justice with words, but in short, they are epic. They say so much about the intelligence and devotion that the people who made them had. Another very neat thing is that these exhibits are very well designed to inform the visitor, one aspect of their culture at a time. For instance, agriculture, religion, war, etc. | 2019-04-19T03:22:38 | https://www.travelwebdir.com/blog-category/mexico/ | [

I have the SL racks for my Yamaha XT250, will the SL racks for a Triumph Tiger 800 have the same dimensions for the surface area that my cases connect to? I am hoping i will be able to switch my cases from bike to bike with the SL racks.
The SL Rack Loops are all the same.
We recomend the SU Rack for any hard luggage.
You show pannier racks available for the Triumph Tiger 2011+. I have a 2018 and I believe you would need a different setup for the 2018; do you have a rack that is confirmed to fit my 2018 Tiger xcx?
The 2018 takes the same racks. | 2019-04-26T06:42:52 | https://www.happy-trail.com/find-your-bike/triumph/tiger-800-xc-xcx-xrx-2011/luggage-racks/sl-soft-luggage-rack.html | [

CHERKESSK, Russia -- Karachais in Russia's North Caucasus region of Karachayevo-Cherkesia have marked the 74th anniversary of their mass deportation to Central Asia by Soviet leader Josef Stalin.
Prayers in the region's mosques on November 2 were dedicated to those who died during the Karachais' deportation to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan between 1943 and 1957.
Karachayevo-Cherkesia's leader Rashid Temrezov, Prime Minister Aslan Ozov, and parliament speaker Aleksandr Ivanov, issued a joint statement on November 2, calling on all ethnic groups in the region "to do everything in our power not to allow the horrors of repressions anymore."
Karachais are a small, Turkic-speaking and predominantly Muslim ethnic group. They were the first ethnic group in the North Caucasus deported by Stalin's government in the 1940s.
Between November 2 and November 5, 1944, some 70,000 Karachais were deported in cattle train cars to Central Asia by Moscow, which accused them of collaborating with Nazi Germany. According to unofficial estimates, about a quarter of those deported perished during the journey.
Those who survived deportation were allowed to return back to the North Caucasus in 1957. | 2019-04-23T12:49:55 | https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-karachais-deportation-74th-anniversary/28831280.html | [

Something has brought you here today. Maybe you feel lost or off-track. Maybe you’ve noticed a positive change in a friend who’s been working with me and you’re keen to discover what’s made the difference.
wanting to make some changes?
Our own blind spots can be hard to identify. We’re too close. We don’t know what we don’t know. And unhealthy patterns can feel comfortingly familiar, because that’s the way we’ve always done it.
To discuss what you are wanting to achieve, how I can help and create clarity.
Transformational Coach - Mandy Reeve is with Alysha Bentley.
I get to catch up with both these ladies on Monday. I can’t wait to see them & hear what they have been up to!!!
Let’s take the time to #celebrate the amazing women in our life!!!
What about them #inspires you?
Ok folks so it appears the Netflix Brené Brown - Call to Courage is going live 19th April US time as it is the 19th April here and still not available.
Since I originally watched her Ted Talk I have read a number of her books and seen her talk live and I now find it even more powerful.
She makes her research so easy to understand.
Alysha Bentley - Mindset Coach and Mentor and I meet at Femmepire last year thanks to Rachel - She Owns It NZ with Rachel Lewis organising a group of us to meet up there.
Women living a life following their own rules and not what is expected of them.
Even though we’re all aware that social media shows the highlight reels of other people’s lives, we’re all guilty of comparing ourselves with others in order to gauge our success.
The impression these highlight reels give us is that it’s possible to have it all, and to do it all perfectly. But how often do you feel like you’re succeeding in all aspects of your life? And how often do you feel perfect?
The reality is, perfection doesn’t exist, so we’re holding ourselves to a standard that can never be met. And it may be that the standards we are trying to live by aren’t even our own.
We will explore the expectations and pressures placed on millennial women (aged 25-40) in today’s world, and the impact this can have on our mental and physical wellbeing.
Attendees will have an opportunity to reconnect with their own values, and redefine and pursue success on their own terms.
Drop me a line if you have any questions!!!
Stop following people on social media that make you feel bad about yourself or not good enough or like you are failing.
Follow amazing people that inspire you!!!
Transformational Coach - Mandy Reeve is at Gridakl / John Lysaght Building.
Alysha Bentley - Mindset Coach and Mentor and I are running a workshop on the 8 May.
Attendees with an opportunity to reconnect with their own values, and redefine and pursue success on their own terms. | 2019-04-20T09:16:13 | http://www.mandyreeve.com/ | [

I’ve met lots of people who say they have 20 years of experience. But in a lot of cases it’s more like one year of experience 20 times. That kind of “experience” is useless. I’ve also met many sharp, educated people without experience, but you can tell they’re the kind who will put their minds to work, think outside the box, and figure out a way to get the job done with excellence. | 2019-04-25T04:29:28 | https://www.daveramsey.com/davesays/dave_says_2018-08-13 | [

TRAVELLERS seized a new Ocado warehouse and lived the high life for 24 hours — until riot cops stormed the building.
More than a dozen caravans were driven into the £250million depot, which delivers Waitrose and own-brand treats.
The trespassers ordered contractors to leave, padlocked themselves in and turned away scores of staff arriving for work yesterday.
Inside the travellers enjoyed the rich pickings from the shelves in the 500,000sq ft warehouse.
Witnesses said cops who tried to speak to them were told to “f*** off”.
A police helicopter circled above the warehouse during the stand-off, which lasted nearly 24 hours. It ended when riot cops raided the site last night.
They used bolt cutters to get in before ordering dozens of men, women and kids to leave.
Officers with riot shields slammed one man to the ground after he allegedly picked up a chain.
A witness said: “The travellers got in on Tuesday night by using a van to pull away a giant boulder that was blocking the warehouse entrance.
“Once past the first perimeter they used bolt cutters to break into another fence. They helped themselves to towels, food and drink, and showers.
Ocado’s depot in Dartford, Kent, will service what is dubbed the biggest online grocery store in the world.
Hundreds of thousands of orders will be processed there when it opens in the near future. The firm did not comment on the invasion. | 2019-04-19T03:08:19 | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/3854751/travellers-seize-new-ocado-warehouse-and-live-high-life-for-24-hours-before-riot-cops-storm-the-building/ | [

I learned one new thing – the “yarn over” – tonight, but more importantly, I learned I’d been doing stuff more or less correctly. I also learned it’s damn near impossible to do throwing (instead of picking) with my hand injury. The biggest obstacle I’m going to have, in general, is going to be regulating my tension. Not having working fingers will make this very, very hard.
There were six pupils total, and the instructor had the patience of a saint. We were all very confused by the loose, bottomless yarn-over stitches, but she coached us through them. Three women had knitted before, two literally hadn’t ever touched a needle before, and I was still all fumbly myself.
I reaffirmed I’m really not good at Girl Talk – I don’t care about The Bachelor, The Biggest Loser or Project Runway – but it was still fun being with a bunch of girls who were all intent on the same thing.
A quarter of the way through my dishcloth, I decided to start over and unraveled the whole thing. We have a week to finish it – I think I’ll manage. 🙂 The cotton yarn we’re using is a little difficult to work with, especially as it doesn’t seem to stretch much. This makes the tension thing even weirder.
Not having slept much last night, I was nearly asleep in my chair at the end. And on that note, without further ado, I’m hitting the sack.
I really wish I could have gone! We lost two people at work. It’s good because they were trouble makers but they have just me and one other tech who can only work 2 days a week due to another job. So, thursdays are not looking good for me! I do need to get your hat to you sometime too! It is my goal this year to learn to knit! So it will happen. That and learn to machine sew (taking a class at Jo Anns for this) and learn to felt! This should take a year! Hope it gets easier for you!
I do think that knitting instructors have to be insanely patient. Then again, knitting in general requires quite a bit of patience! 🙂 Best of luck finding a method that works for you with your hand injury. Have a great weekend! | 2019-04-21T04:25:23 | http://homesteadgeek.com/2010/01/21/knitting-class-part-one/ | [

It was a pleasant, sun filled Spring day in Sedona Arizona. I was playing in a park with some friends, practicing what I refer to as "Jedi training on the Inspiration line", which is essentially walking on a slack-line, similar to a tight-rope. A young man approached us and asked if we were locals. It turns out that he was a reporter for the Sedona Red Rock Newspaper and he was fishing for stories for their weekly paper. He requested an interview with me about a day in the life of the local scene and what I do. I obliged him and with his tape recorder running, we talked on for nearly an hour. The image below is the article as it appeared.
Thanks for reading that! I hope this inspires you! Here's a video of me actually live on location where the water springs up! And another bonus video interview I did with a friend at the source! And in case you're curious about what the inspiration line is, watch this video where I explain and demonstrate it for you. | 2019-04-26T05:39:17 | https://davidwhipple.com/collected-works-2015-2016/sedona_water_slackline | [

It’s important to shop around for better deals on car insurance every so often. Companies are always changing their rates, running short term bargains and finding new groups to partner with. This means that, while this article will age over time, when it was written it was relevant. And hopefully for years to come it will help you find better deals and at least give you somewhere to start.
Remember that if you are a veteran or first responder to mention this to your insurance company as this will likely get you at least some small discount.
AAA membership used to mean more in the past than it does today, but it still may get you a little bit off your monthly insurance bill. Look for insurance companies that are AAA accredited. You’ll often find a list in your AAA newsletter, as well as ads for individual insurance agents. While AAA rarely offers any sort of assurance that these insurance companies are better than any other, the discounts may be worth giving them a shot.
A well maintained vehicle is a safe vehicle. That means that some insurance companies out there will offer discounts to people who send in receipts for their vehicle maintenance. This could be anything from an oil change to a yearly tire alignment.
However, this does mean more out of pocket for those who are handy with a wrench. Look at the discount they offer and balance it against what it costs you to do the work yourself. It’s rare that the incentive to send in a tire rotation receipt will outweigh the ten minutes it takes you to do it at home.
There are a thousand different varieties of short term deals that insurance agencies may offer, and we touched on them at the start of this article. A good example is when they newly pair with another business. This can be anything from 10% off people who have loyalty cards to that business to seriously low deductibles for those clients with that loyalty card.
Another popular short term deal is the type that gets you in the door. Maybe they offer a 25% off discount to people with new vehicles for the first two years of their insurance contract. With these, just remember to cancel on that 24th month to avoid extra charges. It’s very likely that you’ll be able to come back in with a similar offer, either with them or with someone else.
Our third and last example of a popular short term deal is when an agent needs to make ends meet or bring up dismal sales to meet a monthly quota. You’ll often see certain agents push for clients to come meet them, specifically, to examine their options. They may even give you up to 50% off just to get the sale through before the end of the month.
Shop around. Keep insurance agent cards handy and write down terms on the back, making it easier to keep up with.
I’ve like to se if I’ve qualify for a better insurance rate?
I’ve never changed insurance companies for 38 years, but don’t know if I have such good rates, the company has changed many times so what do you do?
Like I said is there a better price then what I have?
Most likely there is. The studies on switching insurers typically find drivers save anywhere from $300 to $800 a year. | 2019-04-20T08:54:47 | http://www.discountdrivers.com/car-insurance-discounts-youve-never-thought/ | [

Furthermore, color was strategically used to denote the existence of the interventions: all new metal details and structures were powder coated matte black to separate them from the original bronze, and all new inbuilt furniture was painted light blue or sunshine yellow. The kitchen and bathroom were fully renovated to give them a cleaner, fresher look, and bring them up to date. In particular, the kitchen was replaced with bright yellow lacquered cabinets, showcasing the original bronze handles and a new black marble countertop, handpicked to match the floor. The same marble was used in the bathroom to create a bathtub niche. The use of circular washbasins, dressing room-style mirrors, and a reading light contribute to its playful attitude.
The storage capacity of each room was increased to meet modern demands. A bright yellow lacquered interlocking coat closet/bench/shoe cabinet was added in the entry vestibule, and a light blue lacquered bed set and storage unit/desk was added in the bedroom. All existing closets and cupboards were updated functionally and technologically, and their interiors were painted light blue. The living/dining room’s most prominent original feature is the functional wooden divider separating it from the kitchen. Extending from it is a retractable dining table, which we enhanced with black metal legs that morph into a pull bar. The bent black metal shelves and TV system, as well as the free-standing couch and glass table were custom designed by AK-A especially for this project and formally reflect a 60s visual language. | 2019-04-21T05:07:43 | http://www.thegreekfoundation.com/architecture/interiors/ivis-summer-apartment-ak-architects | [

The 3rd Congressional District is home to Newport News Shipbuilding, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and many small and medium sized ship repair yards. Congressman Scott is honored to represent thousands of the nation's best shipbuilders. In Congress, Congressman Scott is a proud and active member of the bipartisan Congressional Shipbuilding Caucus. He has worked with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support shipbuilding and our nation's shipbuilders in Congress.
Congressman Scott understands that shipbuilding and our shipbuilders are the backbone of America's Navy and vital to our national security. In Congress, one of Congressman Scott's top priorities is ensuring that the shipbuilding industry has the necessary funding and support to continue building and maintaining the most advanced ships in the world. Congressman Scott opposed the Budget Control Act, in part, because he was concerned about its impact on our national security and our ability to build and maintain America's naval fleet. If sequestration is not cancelled, shipbuilding and ship maintenance will take a significant hit, which will impact shipbuilders and their families across Virginia's 3rd Congressional District.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after voting against the House Republicans’ latest short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government: “Today’s vote was the fourth Continuing Resolution (CR) in as many months. CRs are an abdication of Congress’ constitutional responsibility to ensure that our federal government efficiently and effectively serves the American people. CRs hamstring federal agencies and freeze their ability to award new grants and puts a hold on the Department of Defense’ ability to sign new contracts for shipbuilding, ship maintenance, and other critical national security priorities. Additionally, due to operating under continued uncertainty as a result of CRs, federal agencies waste billions of dollars planning on divergent budget scenarios, including preparing for a government shutdown."
WASHINGTON D.C. – Representatives Rob Wittman (R-VA), Bobby Scott (D-VA), Bradley Byrne (R-AL), and Joe Courtney (D-CT), were joined by 127 Representatives in sending a letter to Department of Defense Secretary James Mattis supporting a block buy of two Ford-class aircraft carriers in FY2019. “Dual procurement allows our Navy to have the capabilities it needs to protect and defend this nation’s national security. A dual buy would provide predictability and sustainability to the shipbuilding industry. A more reliable procurement process will bring great benefits to the Navy’s shipbuilding programs, and save taxpayers’ money,” Rep. Scott said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement on President Donald Trump’s Executive Order to expand off-shore drilling: “Nearly seven years to the day after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, I was disappointed to see President Trump sign an Executive Order to review the 2017-2022 Five Year Oil and Gas Leasing Program, protections put in place for sensitive offshore areas, and regulations put in place to ensure that disasters similar to Deepwater Horizon never take place.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement on President Donald Trump’s visit to Newport News Shipbuilding: “I always welcome the opportunity for the President of the United States to visit my district and the world’s best shipbuilders in Newport News. President Trump will see firsthand how dedicated these men and women are to their trade and to making sure that our Navy’s aircraft carriers and submarines are the most advanced in the world.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement on his No vote on H.R. 2028, the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017: “I am disappointed that House and Senate Republicans could not advance a more responsible bill to fund the federal government. Continuing Resolutions are inherently bad policy and hinder the work of the federal government. Considering the uncertainty that surrounds the incoming administration, I think it is more responsible for this Congress to enact a yearlong omnibus appropriations bill for the remainder of fiscal year 2017.
NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement on the recommendations of the Center for a New American Security that the President and Congress should cancel the Ford-class aircraft carrier program and other programs at the Department of Defense: “Our national security depends on a modern and technologically advanced military. While there have been issues related to the construction of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the Navy and its primary shipbuilder for the Ford-class have already taken steps to reduce costs and address these issues for the next two aircraft carriers. Cancelling the Ford-class program would have severe consequences for national security and harm efforts to replenish and replace the fleet in the coming decades. | 2019-04-25T14:11:28 | https://bobbyscott.house.gov/issues/shipbuilding | [

Operation Warm has partnered with Fire Fighters for nearly 20 years, and we have learned a lot from each dedicated public servant. We wanted to share what we have learned.
Boot fundraising is a traditional fire fighter fundraising idea. Fire fighters grab their boots and go out asking people in the community to fill them with money. Donations go toward various fire fighter needs and programs. Boot fundraising can be a great way to fundraise, because it is very direct. Still, to maximize the donations your fire fighter program receives, it is important to plan out additional or alternative ways to fundraise.
There are three main reasons why you should have a list of new fire fighter fundraising ideas.
Unfortunately, there are criminals who claim to be fire fighters raising money for a cause, when in fact they are lining their own pockets. Fire fighter fundraising scams are all over the media.
This is a shame with unfortunate consequences. People may be less likely to contribute to a real fire fighter boot fundraising because they are afraid of being scammed.
There are a lot of great causes out there, and many organizations are asking for donations. Fire fighters are finding that they must do multiple fundraisers or fundraising events throughout the year to support their needs and programs.
It is always good to have a few backup fundraising ideas in case your first or main fundraiser is not able to meet your goals. Many fire fighters decide to plan additional fundraisers because they need to expand their programs to do more good in their communities.
Adapt these ideas for what will work best for your department. You may want to try some of these fundraising ideas at community events or set them up in partnership with local businesses.
A golf scramble is an easier form of a golf tournament. Charge admission to the event and ask sponsors to buy a hole. Golfweek Magazine explains the difference.
50/50 raffle. The winner may donate their share back to the fire department, if you ask.
Fundraising night at a local restaurant. Many local establishments are happy to donate a portion of the sales when their customers mention the event.
Facebook donate button or fundraising event. Learn more here or contact the marketing team at Operation Warm to learn how to get a Facebook fundraiser for your Operation Warm program.
Fire fighter calendar. Take one photo per month, create a calendar and sell copies to the community.
Old fashioned dance. Hire a DJ and set the decade anywhere from the 40s to the 80s.
Monthly Bingo. Make it creative. Bingo experts share some ideas.
Fire department stew—make a large batch, freeze it in smaller containers and sell it as a quick, delicious meal. Here is a recipe from Firehouse.com to get you started.
Summer barbecue or chicken plate sale. Volunteer cooks and donated fare makes for a successful fundraiser.
Tag sale, sidewalk sale or garage sale. Ask for donated items.
Produce a comedy or talent show night.
Fire fighters are the greatest cooks. Sell a cookbook of your favorite recipes. | 2019-04-26T07:42:50 | https://www.operationwarm.org/blog/25-fire-fighter-fundraising-alternatives-to-boot-fundraising-part-one/ | [

The mystery of love that lasts.
Yet remain rooted in my zone.
A binding that is timeless.
Thanks to Sue Vincent for an inspiring Thursday photo prompt #writephoto.
You will welcome me to my destination.
So I stood at His door.
One of my earliest poems, this is an excerpt from my book Sublime Shadows of Life by Balroop Singh. Please click on the link to read more such poems.
Spiritual Awakening – Why ‘Spirituality’ Seems A Scary Word?
Her observation set me thinking.
Do I sound spiritual? I have never consciously tried to be one!
I may have liked those who believe in spiritualism. I could have even mentioned them as my friends but becoming spiritual is a far-fetched thought.
Do we pick up spiritualism just like a new box of cookies?
While pondering over the comment of my friend, my thoughts veered towards understanding this term and why it seems to be scary to some.
Why shouldn’t I become spiritual? Does it take all those little joys out of our life?
I know spirituality is actually associated with our psychological growth. Isn’t that natural?
It leads us to emotional maturity and a deeper understanding of self.
It acquaints us with the darker aspects of our personality.
We can recognize the emotions that weaken us.
We develop the ability to embrace pain.
We learn to bridge the gap between pain and pleasure.
We cultivate the resilience to face inner demons, which we flee from.
We become sensitive to disparities around us.
It dawns very slowly; sometimes it astonishes us with its presence in some unknown crevice of our heart.
When we start discarding negative thoughts, when we begin to understand the feelings and emotions of people around us, when we adapt to changes without any grunts, when we adopt a positive approach to life, when self-healing becomes our goal – we may be gearing towards spiritualism.
Spirituality, as we know today has detached itself from religion and centers around values and humanistic ideas. It concentrates on personal wellbeing and inner peace.
It emphasizes on meditation, mindfulness, tolerance and ethics.
Yes, it matures us; it keeps us grounded but it doesn’t compel us to become another Buddha or his follower.
We can still run into the welcoming arms of rain whenever we feel the urge.
The pleasure of wading into the waves doesn’t lessen.
The glow of moon appears as mesmerizing as ever.
The bubbly aspect of our personality may not hit the surface but it remains intact!
“Spirituality can release blocks, lead you to ideas and make your life artful.” – Julia Cameron.
Many of us don’t realize when spiritual awakening sends vibes of positivity. We may still be in deep slumber. I didn’t know my leanings till my dear friend noticed and coerced me towards introspection.
When spiritual awakening hits, you feel something is different around you. It may take some time to really understand why you find peace in giving, why you condone the little irks that provoked you earlier and why compassion is inching closer.
You become your own counselor as you can understand and experience the emotional changes in your heart. You are willing to accept those changes. Often you find yourself talking to yourself and feel a craving to forget and forgive all that has been bothering you.
Attachments no longer clasp you; the drift begins slowly and you can comprehend that all relationships are hollow, phony and transient. You find immense solace in detachment. The pleasure of solitude becomes sweeter and more fulfilling.
Your relationship with your surroundings inspire you to breathe deeply, to gaze at the sky and reach that horizon, which shines with the brightest light, you start getting answers to all your questions, you know how to calm human ego. The tranquility of Nature seeps into your spirit.
Distress, annoyance, disappointment and all such discomforting emotions merge into the harmony of thoughts. You feel free, floating like clouds, blending in the unknown blue. Your inner voice becomes stronger; you start listening to it with greater confidence.
Do you believe we are spiritual beings? Has spiritual awakening ever nudged you? Do you struggle with your emotions? I would love to hear your views. | 2019-04-19T12:39:15 | https://balroop2013.wordpress.com/tag/spirituality/ | [

One of the most debated topics in football is the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Both players always show respect to one another and claim competition is healthy in pushing them to perform to their full potential. Their rivalry is rather tame in comparison to Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira’s legendary battles against each other on the pitch.
For much of the early 1990’s Manchester United dominated the Premier League, winning four of the five titles between 93 and 97. Central to that success was their domineering and relentless midfielder from Ireland. Keane’s drive, determination and all-round excellence established him as the best midfielder in the country. When Eric Cantona suddenly retired in 1997, Keane was named United captain by Alex Ferguson. The previous summer, Arsenal signed a young Frenchman in the same position. Vieira struggled to make the grade at AC Milan and little was known about him in England. This was a time when Arsene Wenger was ahead of the curve and he knew value when he saw it.
Vieira immediately impressed with his athleticism and passing ability, Arsenal supporters claiming he was the playmaker they’d been missing since 1991 title winner Paul Davis. Keane missed much of the 97/98 season with a cruciate ligament injury and when he returned the landscape had changed. Arsenal had taken United’s title away and lorded over them in successive three nil victories in the Charity Shield and League.
Vieira later revealed that he felt if he got the better of Keane they would win and he certainly stamped his authority on those games. United responded to those setbacks and would compete on three fronts in 1999. Keane was instrumental and dragged them into the Champions League final with an imperious display against Juventus. In the last four of the FA Cup at Villa Park, the Arsenal-United rivalry arguably reached its peak in a classic game that had it all. Both would have significant impacts for all the wrong reasons – Keane sent off for two bookings and Vieira guilty of passing the ball straight to Ryan Giggs on route to his Mazy dribble, finish and chest-haired celebration.
United were going to create history by winning the treble. The following season, United would maintain their spot at the top. It was at this stage that the Keane and Vieira battles began to heat up. Keane scored twice at Highbury as United beat the hosts 3-1 in a game in which the two repeatedly clashed. Again United would go on to win the title, and Keane was voted PFA Player of the Year. As Keane later remarked, preparing to face Vieira was different. “A week before my body would be aching because I knew I’d have to go to battle. I didn’t think he was as tough as me.” After shock interest for Vieira from United in 2001, he stayed in North London and the season culminated in them winning back the league crown at Old Trafford, a game Vieira named as his best in an Arsenal shirt. They completed the double against Chelsea at the Millennium Stadium in his finest season to date.
Just as Arsenal looked set to dominate, they surrendered a big lead in the 2002/20o3 season as United regained the title. Vieira missed much of the run in through injury, while a rejuvenated Keane lifted his seventh and final league in a red shirt. Early in the following season, the two sides were embroiled in a heated clash remembered as “the Battle of Old Trafford”. Ruud van Nistelrooy crashed a penalty off the bar in injury time with the chance to win the game and was angrily confronted by Arsenal players accusing him of getting Vieira sent off. The draw from the jaws of defeat would spur Arsenal on and they created history by going the season unbeaten on their way to another title.
By the time 2005 came around, both sides were trailing in the wake of Chelsea. In February, the two met at Highbury in a game which turned out to be a classic. The tone was set in the tunnel beforehand when Keane famously confronted Vieira after the Frenchman had picked on Gary Neville. United won 4-2, inarguably Keane’s last great performance. They’d meet again in the FA Cup final in May – when Vieira scored the winning penalty in a shootout. Pretty soon afterwards, things would change. Vieira joined Juventus, and Keane would depart United in acrimonious circumstances a few months later. The Premier League has yet to see a rivalry to match it! | 2019-04-20T02:43:24 | http://www.arsenaldailynews.com/roy-keane-vs-patrick-vieira-rivalry/ | [

Sometimes records are planned for months or even years.
Sometimes records sneak up on you.
Autumn/Winter 2016 the world seemed to become a loud, brutal place.
People hurting from war, homelessness, climate change…..
People respond in different ways.
I sought refuge in songs. I wrote some, I learned some and I visited some old ones.
After a few months of quiet work, I felt the need to put these songs out into the world.
At first I heard choirs and strings and trumpets.
In the end I decided to keep it raw, and simple.
And here it is - REFUGE. 11 songs, recorded in the amazing studio that is Lettercollum Recording Studio, with John Fitzgerald and mastered by my old friend Brian Masterson.
The cover painting is called ‘At One’ - by Tim Goulding, a great Irish artist from Beara Peninsula in West Cork.
The cover is designed by Steve Averill.
My sister, the singer Anne Rynne, still manages the shipments at the website.
The cost to you is 18 euros per record, including shipping.
The first 500 will be signed.
In this age of streaming, I still believe in the record and I love to work with great people to create a record that flows. The sound, the order of the songs, the number of songs. This is how I choose to listen to the people I love. And this is how I want to present my work.
To all who choose to buy the record from us, I thank you. It allows me to continue. | 2019-04-19T12:46:36 | https://rbergholz.net/lukabloom/music/rec2017.html | [

SermonIndex.net : Christian Books : CHAPTER XIV. THE ORIGINAL TEXT AND ITS HISTORY.
CHAPTER XIV. THE ORIGINAL TEXT AND ITS HISTORY.
1. The original language of the Old Testament is Hebrew, with the exception of certain portions of Ezra and Daniel and a single verse of Jeremiah, (Ezra 4:8-6:18; 7:12-26; Dan.2:4, from the middle of the verse to end of chap.7; Jer.10:11,) which are written in the cognate Chaldee language. The Hebrew belongs to a stock of related languages commonly called Shemitic, because spoken mainly by the descendants of Shem. Its main divisions are: (1,) the Arabic, having its original seat in the southeastern part of the Shemitic territory, and of which the AEthiopic is a branch; (2,) the Aramaean in the north and northeast, comprising the eastern Aramaean or Chaldee, and the western or Syriac; (3,) the Hebrew, occupying a middle place between the two. The Samaritan is essentially Aramaean, but with an intermixture of Hebrew forms; the Phoenician, or Punic, on the other hand, is most closely allied to the Hebrew. All these languages, with the exception of the AEthiopic, are written from right to left, and exhibit many peculiarities of orthography and grammatical forms and structure.
2. The Hebrew characters in present use, called the Assyrian, or square writing, are not those originally employed. The earlier form is undoubtedly represented by the inscriptions on the coins struck by the Maccabees, of which the letters bear a strong resemblance to the Samaritan and Phoenician characters. The Jewish tradition is that the present square character was introduced by Ezra, and that it was of Assyrian origin. The question of the correctness of this tradition has been much discussed. Some wholly reject it, and hold that the present square writing came by a gradual process of change from a more ancient type. See Davidson's Bib. Crit., vol. I, ch.3.
The Rabbinic is a modification of the Assyrian or square writing, for the purpose of giving it a more cursive character.
3. The Hebrew alphabet, like all the other Shemitic alphabets -- with the exception of the AEthiopic, which is syllabic, the vowels being indicated by certain modifications in the forms of the consonants -- was originally a skeleton alphabet, an alphabet of consonants, in which, however, certain letters, called vowel-letters, performed in a measure the office of vowels. The Shemite did not separate the vowels from the consonants, and express them, as we do, by separate signs. He rather conceived of the vowels as inhering in the consonants -- as modifications in the utterance of the consonants, which the reader could make for himself. Various particulars in respect to the pronunciation of certain consonants were, in like manner, left to the reader's own knowledge. For example, the three Hebrew letters, [Hebrew: sh], sh; [Hebrew: m], m; [Hebrew: r], r, ([Hebrew: shmr], to be read from right to left,) might be pronounced, shamar, he kept; shemor, keep thou; shomer, keeping -- the reader determining from the connection which of these forms should be used, just as we decide in English between the different pronunciations of the word bow. As long as the Hebrew remained a living language, that is, the language of the masses of the people, this outline alphabet was sufficient for all practical purposes. The modern Arabs read without difficulty their ordinary books, which omit, in like manner, the signs for the vowels. The regularity of structure which belongs to the Shemitic languages generally, makes this omission less inconvenient for them than a like omission would be for us in our western tongues.
4. During the long Babylonish captivity the mass of the Jewish people, who were born and educated in Babylon and the adjacent regions, adopted of necessity the language of the country; that is, the Aramaean or Chaldee language. After the exile, the Hebrew was indeed spoken and written by the prophets and learned men, but not by the people at large. In Nehemiah 8:8 we are told that |they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.| This has been explained by some as meaning simply that they expounded to them the sense. But the more natural meaning is that they interpreted to the people the words read from the law. We find, soon after the captivity at least, the old Hebrew supplanted as a living language among the people at large by the Aramaean or Chaldee. Why not date the change from the latter part of the captivity itself?
It was natural that the prophets and historians, all of whom wrote soon after the exile, should employ the sacred language of their fathers. This fact cannot be adduced as a valid argument that the body of the people continued to speak Hebrew. The incorporation, on the other hand, of long passages in Chaldee into the books of Daniel and Ezra implies at least that this language was known to the people at large. As to the children spoken of in Neh.13:24, who |could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people| -- the people, to wit, to which their mothers belonged -- |the Jews' language| here is probably the language used by the Jews, as distinguished from that used by the people of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab. Keil, Introduction to Old Testament, Sec.18.
5. After the Hebrew had ceased to be the language of the common people, its traditional pronunciation was carefully preserved for many successive centuries in the synagogue-reading. It was not till several centuries after Christ (somewhere between the sixth and the tenth centuries) that the vowel-signs and other marks of distinction were added in order to perpetuate, with all possible accuracy, the solemn traditional pronunciation of the synagogue. This work is ascribed to learned Jews of Tiberias, called Masoretes, from Masora, tradition; and the Hebrew text thus furnished by them is called the Masoretic, in distinction from the unpointed text, which latter is, according to Jewish usage, retained in the synagogue-rolls. From reverence to the word of God, the punctuators (as these men are also called) left the primitive text in all cases undisturbed, simply superadding to it their marks of distinction. After giving with great minuteness the different vowel-signs and marks (commonly called diacritical) for the varying pronunciation of the consonants, they superadded a complicated system of accents. These serve the threefold office of guides in cantillating the sacred text (according to ancient usage in the synagogue-reading); of indicating the connection in meaning among the words and clauses; and of marking, though with certain exceptions, the tone-syllables of words. In addition to all the above, they added a mass of notes, partly of a critical and partly of a grammatical character, relating to various readings, grammatical forms and connections, modes of orthography, and the like. These are called collectively the Masorah, of which there is a fuller Masorah called the greater (found only in Rabbinical Bibles), and a briefer, called the less, the main part of which is found in common editions of the Hebrew Bible. To illustrate the Masoretic as contrasted with the unpointed text, we give the first verse of Genesis, first, in its simple unpointed form; secondly, with the vowel-signs and diacritical marks for the consonants; thirdly, with both these and the accents, the last being the complete Masoretic text.
The round circle above the initial letter in the third line refers to a marginal note of the Masorah indicating that it is to be written large.
Respecting the origin and antiquity of the Hebrew points a warm controversy existed in former times. Some maintained that they were coeval with the language itself; others that they were first introduced by Ezra after the Babylonish captivity. But their later origin -- somewhere between the sixth and tenth centuries -- is now generally conceded. It is further agreed that their inventors were able scholars, thoroughly acquainted as well with the genius and structure of the language as with the traditional pronunciation of the synagogue; and that they have given a faithful representation of this pronunciation, as it existed in their day. Their judgment, therefore, though not invested with any divine authority, is very valuable. |It represents a tradition, it is true; but a tradition of the oldest and most important character.| Horne's Introduction, vol.2, p.15, edition of 1860.
6. The deep reverence of the Jews for their sacred books manifests itself in their numerous rules for the guidance of copyists in the transcription of the rolls designed for use in the synagogue service. They extend to every minute particular -- the quality of the ink and the parchment (which latter must always be prepared by a Jew from the skin of a clean animal, and fastened by strings made from the skins of clean animals); the number, length, and breadth of the columns; the number of lines in each column, and the number of words in each line. No word must be written till the copyist has first inspected it in the example before him, and pronounced it aloud; before writing the name of God he must wash his pen; all redundance or defect of letters must be carefully avoided: prose must not be written as verse, or verse as prose; and when the copy has been completed, it must be examined for approval or rejection within thirty days. Superstitious, and even ridiculous, as these rules are, we have in them a satisfactory assurance of the fidelity with which the sacred text has been perpetuated. Though their date may be posterior to the age of the Talmudists (between 200 and 500 after Christ), the spirit of reverence for the divine word which they manifest goes far back beyond this age. We see it, free from these later superstitious observances, in the transactions recorded in the eighth chapter of Nehemiah, when Ezra opened the book of the law in the sight of all the people, |and when he opened it, all the people stood up.| The early history of the sacred text is confessedly involved in great obscurity; but in the profound reverence with which the Jews have ever regarded it since the captivity, we have satisfactory proof that it has come down to us, in all essential particulars, as Ezra left it. Of the primitive text before the days of Ezra and his associates we have but a few brief notices in the historical books. But in the fidelity and skill of Ezra, who was |a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given,| as well as in the intelligence and deep earnestness of the men associated with him, we have a reasonable ground of assurance that the sacred books which have come down to us through their hands contain, in all essential particulars, the primitive text in a pure and uncorrupt form.
7. As to the age of Hebrew manuscripts, it is to be noticed that not many have come down to us from an earlier century than the twelfth. In this respect there is a striking difference between them and the Greek and Latin manuscripts of the New Testament, a few of which are as old as the fourth and fifth centuries, and quite a number anterior to the tenth. The oldest known Hebrew manuscript, on the contrary, is a Pentateuch roll on leather, now at Odessa, which, if the subscription stating that it was corrected in the year 580 can be relied on, belongs to the sixth century. One of De Rossi's manuscripts is supposed to belong to the eighth century, and there are a few of the ninth and tenth, and several of the eleventh. Bishop Walton supposes that after the Masoretic text was fully settled, the Jewish rulers condemned, as profane and illegitimate, all the older manuscripts not conformed to this: whence, after a few ages, the rejected copies mostly perished. The existing Hebrew manuscripts give the Masoretic text with but little variation from each other.
Earnest effort has been made to find a reliable ante-Masoretic text, but to no purpose. The search in China has thus far been fruitless. When Dr. Buchanan in 1806 brought from India a synagogue-roll which he found among the Jews of Malabar, high expectations were raised. But it is now conceded to be a Masoretic roll, probably of European origin. Respecting the manuscripts of the Samaritan Pentateuch, see below, No.9.
8. In respect to form, Hebrew manuscripts fall into two great divisions, public and private. The public manuscripts consist of synagogue-rolls carefully written out on parchment, as already described, without vowel-points or divisions of verses. The Law is written on a single roll; the sections from the prophets (Haphtaroth, ch.12.6) and the Five Rolls -- Canticles, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther (ch.12.4) -- each on separate rolls. The private manuscripts are written with leaves in book form -- folio, quarto, octavo, and duodecimo; mostly on parchment, but some of the later on paper. The poetical passages are generally arranged in hemistichs; the rest is in columns which vary according to the size of the page. The text and points were always written separately; the former with a heavier, the latter with a lighter pen, and generally with different ink. The square or Assyrian character is employed as a rule, but a few are written in the rabbinic character. The Chaldee paraphrase (less frequently some other version) may be added. The margin contains more or less of the Masorah; sometimes prayers, psalms, rabbinical commentaries, etc.
9. There is also a Samaritan Pentateuch; that is, a Hebrew Pentateuch written in the ancient Samaritan characters, and first brought to light in 1616, respecting the origin of which very different opinions are held. Some suppose that the Samaritans received it as an inheritance from the ten tribes; others that it was introduced at the time of the founding of the Samaritan temple on Mount Gerizim; others that it was brought by the Israelitish priest sent to instruct the Samaritans in the knowledge of God, 2 Kings 17:27, 28. It is agreed among biblical scholars that its text has been subjected to many alterations which greatly impair its critical authority. These, however, are not sufficient to account for its remarkable agreement with the Septuagint version against the Masoretic text, in numerous readings, some of them of importance. The explanation of this phenomenon must be the agreement of the original Samaritan codex with the manuscripts from which the Alexandrine version was executed. Probably both were of Egyptian origin. See Alexander's Kitto, art. Samaritan Pentateuch.
In a brief compend, like the present work, it is not thought necessary to notice particularly the printed editions of the Hebrew Bible. The reader will find an account of them in the |Bibliographical List| appended to the fourth volume of Horne's Introduction, edition of 1860. The text of Van der Hooght's Hebrew Bible, (Amsterdam and Utrecht, 1705,) which was chiefly based on the earlier text of Athias, (Amsterdam, 1667,) is generally followed at the present day, and may be regarded as the received text of the Hebrew Scriptures. | 2019-04-26T16:58:55 | http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/bible_books/?view=book_chapter&chapter=60879 | [

Two slaughtermen have been sacked after an undercover investigation exposed shocking cruelty to horses at an abattoir.
The disturbing video shows them being beaten with metal poles and illegally stunned in groups of up to three at a time before being killed.
In one horrifying moment a stunned horse appears to regain consciousness, only to find itself hanging upside down and about to have its throat cut.
The footage was captured at the Red Lion Abattoir, near Nantwich, Cheshire, after an eight-week investigation by animal welfare group Hillside.
They also saw horses which appeared to be sick or injured and hadn't been immediately put down.
'It's unbelievably depressing there. They shouldn't be stunned or shot in front of each other like that.
The scandal emerged as several British supermarkets have been exposed as selling frozen beef burgers which contain horse meat.
Incredibly, the beef content in one Everyday Value burger sold by Tesco was actually 29 per cent horse meat.
The horses at the Red Lion Abattoir are believed to be butchered for European food markets.
Under the Welfare of Animals Act 1995, horses cannot be slaughtered in sight of another horse as it causes severe distress to the animal.
The footage, which has been uploaded to YouTube, shows three horses crammed into a tiny pen before being stunned.
The Food Standards Agency told the Daily Mirror it has revoked the licences of two slaughtermen after a probe into the video.
FSA head of approvals Craig Kirby said: 'As soon as we got the footage and reviewed it we took immediate action to revoke the slaughtermen's licences.
The Red Lion Abattoir told Sky News it views animal welfare and public health with paramount importance.
It said the incidents were 'not the norm, but of an isolated nature' and they have taken disciplinary action against the individual featured.
The statement continued: 'I agree horses should individually enter the stunning area and most certainly not three at a time.
'However, small horses and ponies having spent years together as companions are difficult to separate. Horse lovers would understand that.
An RSPCA spokesperson said the organisation is viewing the footage and will decide whether to prosecute.
In a statement it said: 'The footage is shocking and upsetting to watch. With the Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Regulations 1995 in mind, we have concerns that horses appear to be in the stunning pen at the same time rather than individually as the law requires.
Former government chief veterinary officer Keith Meldrum, who viewed the footage, has told Sky News he was shocked by the 'appalling' breaches of animal welfare.
'We see three animals stunned at the same time and it is totally illegal and contrary to welfare slaughter regulations,' he said.
Roly Owers, chief executive of World Horse Welfare, said: 'The breaches, from what we've seen, are throughout; from the care of the animals to the slaughter process. | 2019-04-24T14:10:03 | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2264972/Cruelty-horses-exposed-Red-Lion-Abattoir-Hillside-animal-welfare-group.html | [

No need for snow: Bangsar is freezing over, suddenly & strategically in time for Christmas, transformed into an ice cream wonderland by the milky magicians of Telawi's new Inside Scoop.
Taking over the venue vacated by Little Wonton (which has moved to Taman Tun Dr Ismail), this ice cream shop is all about the quintessential melt-in-the-mouth delight, perhaps the most universally beloved of any dessert. Whether you're seven or 77, ice cream can seem irresistible.
At least half-a-dozen people _ Edmund, Shiew Li, Derrick & their friends _ appear to labor behind the counter, a clear indication that Inside Scoop is a team effort. The ice cream is produced fresh on-site, channeling skills from a co-founder's Italian gelato-making training.
The current flavors favor the classics & the crowd-pleasing choices: Vanilla bean to hazelnut, tiramisu to cookies-&-cream, Valrhona chocolate to pistachio, blueberry cheesecake to durian, pink grapefruit sorbet to strawberry yogurt.
The results straddle the line somewhere between ice cream & gelato, leaning closer to the latter.
Inside Scoop scores strongly for both texture & taste, beautifully lush in smoothness, pleasurably concentrated in purity of flavor.
Edmund's fave: Pistachio, a true treat that distills the deep, distinct essence of this culinary nut.
Durian flavor, cursed/blessed with a pungently telltale stench; this might be the one ice cream that KL's hotels should consider outlawing.
Pink grapefruit sorbet, also an acquired taste. Waffles with ice cream are available here too; each generous scoop of ice cream costs RM7.80, two's RM12.80 & three's RM17.50 (with a surcharge of RM1.50 per scoop for premium flavors like Valrhona choc).
All in all, Bangsar's hottest attraction might soon also be its coolest, harboring a potential for greater risk-taking & experimentation in the months ahead. Give Inside Scoop space to evolve; as those of us who enjoyed Cielo Dolci on its opening day would remember, even Cielo wasn't armed with a nasi lemak flavor in the beginning.
Bonus Bangsar treat: Cross the road from Inside Scoop to pop-up caffeine bar Nowhereman Coffee, which started selling glazed nuts by local entrepreneurs Nutty Nuts this past weekend.
A fun snack, but maybe not ideal for those of us who prefer nuts to be completely savory instead of nearly candy-sweet. Still, to steal one of Nutty Nuts' catchphrases, this would work for patrons who'd rather be nutty than nice this Christmas.
9, Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur. Near Nosh.
Any idea if they have salted caramel flavour here? I am sucker for that! Oh the baby in the 2nd pic is sooooo cute!
Your kid? Isn't there an ice cream place named Scoop? Selections all look really good!
Oh telawi 3 is certainly happening!
Beato is on the same street too!
Cool! I like the name too - nice wordplay!
I was trying to get to a restaurant yesterday from reading your blog - it's the best resource, good work mate!
A very nice reference, do keep it up! Thanks for your hard work!
Ice cream...I need some as soon as I rid myself of the long winded fire engine cough.
The above ice cream you had in cup is 1 or 2 scoops? | 2019-04-25T09:44:40 | http://eatdrinkkl.blogspot.com/2013/12/inside-scoop-ice-cream-telawi-bangsar.html | [

"Haven & Associates is dedicated to excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.We provide a systematic, professional and organized approach to all of our projects. Our goal is to deliver the highest quality materials and workmanship while maintaining superior service and integrity in everything we do".
General, or construction contractors, are often known as project managers. They oversee the entire remodeling or new home construction project and facilitate all day-to-day tasks that move it toward completion. A Westlake Village general building contractor will work with your architect to review plan as you build a house and ensure everything is in place before work is started as well as arrange for permits and necessary inspections. While good local home improvement contractors in Westlake Village will have the skills to handle certain tasks onsite, such as carpentry, he or she is also responsible for hiring subcontractors for the majority of jobs, such as electrical work, painting or plumbing. In addition, the general contractor should be on-site regularly to inspect the progress and resolve issues. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of general contractors: Architects & Building Designers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Specialty Contractors.
Home remodeling contractors are a must for successful completion of a renovation. Because of this, it's essential that you do your homework before deciding on the right general contractor in Westlake Village as you remodel or build a house. Inspect bids carefully. Was it ready when the contractor promised it? Was the bid for building a home unusually high or low? Each of these things can be very telling: A late bid may reflect timing standards, and an off-the-mark bid could be code for a pricey premium or a deliberate underbid to score the remodeling job. You should call references, carefully read reviews and visit completed projects in Westlake Village, CA to see if they’re what you expect for your job. Once you do secure your local Westlake Village contractors, read the contract very carefully to be sure everyone is on the same page.

The beginning of every project already contains the entire range of its future meanings. It carries a genetic program, determining the subsequent evolution of its organism, fulfilling and developing its principles at each stage.
This project is absolutely unexpected while at the same time it possesses that much needed relevance, the necessity for which has long been felt not only by the Moscow art market but art processes in general, infusing them with new life. This is above all a major event, one that incorporates some international strategies and latest visual technologies. Moreover, this exhibition has been announced as a part of the gallery’s program timed for the First International Moscow Biennial. The event is being launched by a commercial cultural institution, which has already earned a well-deserved reputation in New York’s Chelsea district, known for its radical art practices, as well as among Berlin’s independent art galleries during the years of Germany’s changing status. Now the art gallery’s international dimension, which has long been represented by the Moscow Museum Center, will be replenished by this organization in the Russian tradition, the first meeting place of the Russian avant-garde, a living reality absorbing post-modern thinking.
The gallery’s Russian location right in the center of the capital, in close proximity to the Kremlin, in the area of the Russian Enlightenment – the courtyard of the old Greco-Latin Academy- provides a space for a cultural dialogue and its adaptation through private and corporate collections, thereby creating opportunities for a widening of aesthetic borderlines of art and its natural trans-cultural existence.
The project is firmly rooted in the foundation of the classical avant-garde, assimilating art history into the system of lofty art traditions while its area is still being “mapped”, creating echoes and reflections within the present art scene. It is precisely this transitional situation that provides opportunities for developing new means of communication in art, for discovering independent media-cultural collections, for creating a specifically Russian artistic context that puts an end to its local existence and places it into an international context of visual arts.
While planning this project the gallery avoided any narrow and outdated stylistic tasks. The integrity of this approach consists primarily in the diversity of its modern artistic vision, ranging from the conceptual geometry of the universal communications of Peter Halley to the integral paraphrases of Archimboldo in the energetic baroque images of Vik Muniz, and from the paradoxical clones of Tony Matelli to the idealized human constructions of Antony Gormley. The project’s vectors are movable and multi-dimensional, creating a highly modern artistic landscape with varieties of brilliant summits and spacious valleys, marked by Tony Oursler’s multimedia sculptures/installations, the majestic cosmogonic paintings by Torben Giehler and the unbridled freedom of Kristin Calabrese’s artistic gesture.
For all its radical nature, derived from the culture of intensive intellectual forms, this project preserves some inner ecology within itself, which reaches its summit in the image of a “natural man” that we find in the compositions of Stephan Balkenhol. His wholesome simplicity carries traditions of the great archaism where the Biblical Adam meets the cosmic Purusha.
In actual fact, this project represents a model of the modern artistic consciousness with its non-linearity, asymmetry and complementariness, that creates an essentially new harmony that is in tune with today’s civilization. Gary Tatintsian, a curator and connoisseur of artistic innovation, has now turned his attention to a different representation of the world at this time of changing paradigms and visual codes, opening up many other layers in the visual reality.
The collection presented here clearly displays the contours and elusive meanings of contemporary culture. This is a testimony to the active dynamics of the current art processes into which Russian art is being irresistibly drawn while the young and boisterous Russian art market is ready to create for it a worthy modern image. | 2019-04-23T00:31:27 | http://tatintsian.com/exhibitions/we-can-do-it/exhibition-view/ | [

APANAMA: Bye! Bye! Badawi ... Assalamualaikum.
Abdullah informed the Barisan Nasional Supreme Council Meeting a few minutes ago that he would NOT be defending his position as Umno president during the party’s General Assembly in March 2009.
Abdullah also assured BN component party leaders that he supports BN deputy chairman and Umno deputy President Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to assume the Umno presidency and BN chairmanship.
Abdullah will also appoint Najib as Acting Prime Minister before he takes a long-break (officially on leave) from mid-January till the EXPIRY of his presidency in early March 2009.
Read the full text of Abdullah's announcement at the Malaysiakini link below.
p/s hunting for more details.
Just get lost now Pak Lah...no need to dance or sandiwara anymore. PLS have your 2 months leave now and don't ever come back!
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s decision not to contest in the party elections in March will be good for Umno as the party can then rebuild itself, said his predecessor Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The former prime minister said he was glad that he had been wrong when he wrote in his blog www.chedet.com that the Umno president would not be stepping down.
“Of course, I am very happy for Umno, not for myself, because the party can rebuild itself. But it will not be able to restore the full confidence of the people in itself as a lot of its supporters, who voted for the Opposition, may want to continue working for them.
“I think it’s better for him to step down now, rather than wait until March. This is because he will still be some kind of obstruction as he is not yet giving (Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri) Najib Tun Razak the full authority to rehabilitate the party,” he said in response to Abdullah’s announcement on Wednesday.
Until Abdullah steps down in March, Dr Mahathir said the Premier must however let his deputy start administering the country according to his capabilities and policies.
“Until March, Pak Lah (Abdullah) must … let Najib run the show. He should not interfere because if Najib appears to be following him or taking his advice, I think the latter will lose support,” he said.
Asked if he would rejoin the party now that Abdullah would no longer be president by March, Dr Mahathir said he would have to study the situation.
“Yes, I said I am going to rejoin Umno but he is still president until March. But if I can do some good by rejoining, I will,” he said.
The former Umno president quit the party in May, citing a lack of confidence in its current leaders.
Asked if he would be roped in to act as mentor to Umno, Dr Mahathir said he was prepared to be consulted on solving problems.
“But never as a mentor. I’m always free with my advice … even when they don’t ask, I give it,” he said. | 2019-04-20T00:58:59 | http://www.apanama.my/2008/10/bye-bye-badawi-assalamualaikum.html | [

Master’s students in the interior design program at the University of Manitoba took on the task of designing an ideal office and resource centre for the Vision Impaired Resource Network as part of a class project.
The Vision Impaired Resource Network has a wish list of things it would love to include in its ideal office resource centre. High on that list would be a mock apartment where those with recent vision loss could relearn their way around a kitchen, a recording studio, a gym and a cafe.
The grand reveal of these designs was held before Christmas in the Harvey Hall at Lions Manor. Of course, vision impairment is not a one size-fits-all phenomenon and it often co-exists with other conditions. Before lifting a pencil, the students listened to a number of those in VIRN’s community who generously shared their vision-loss journeys. Many of the suggestions were incorporated in the beautiful and innovative designs.
Computer-generated images with people photo shopped in for scale really put you inside the offices. Tactile maps featuring engraved braille lettering and engraved patterns delineating each area ensured the tabletop design models were accessible to all.
Durable and attractive cork flooring was often picked for hallways, as it dampens sound. Those with visual impairment respond to multiple cues in their environments and noise pollution can be very disorienting.
The textures, acoustics and colours of the finishes in the designs were carefully picked so that wayfaring to different areas of the office and resource centre would be easier.
From strip lighting along the bottom of hallways that’s wide enough for those using white canes and those with guide dogs, to a Japanese wood-burning technique (Shou-sugi-ban) used on the ceiling and walls of the gym so it can be identified by smell — there were many ingenious wayfaring aids in the designs.
A new office resource centre is just a dream for now but, thanks to the students’ hard work, everyone who attended the event learned more about inclusive design and how little design tweaks can make life easier for those with visual impairments. | 2019-04-23T22:13:16 | https://coolblindtech.com/students-design-office-and-resource-centre-for-the-vision-impaired-resource-network/ | [

This might be good for the likes of those who live at this rural spot - I recently quoted them for a EAD circuit to rescue them from the paltry 0.3 Mbps connection they can get on copper. The Excess Construction Costs were staggeringly high.
Whilst providing the geographically challenged speeds of 10 Mbps sounds great; speed and the need for speed will continue to outpace their requirement. Streaming 4K Ultra High Definition, for example, requires about 25 Mbps speeds and although it is relatively new right now, it will be the norm in the coming years and 10 Mbps will not suffice.
We are seeing this in the EAD circuits we are delivering to customers at 2 Circles. There is already a fierce trend building on bearer circuits, where we no longer sell 10Mb bearers as they are too limiting. The amount of 100Mb bearers is in sharp decline as businesses conclude that within a mere 36 months they might require greater. 1Gb bearers are becoming the norm, where some customers have ordered and installed (subject to the usual postcode lottery) a 1Gb circuit running at the full 1 Gbps speed for less than £500 per month. 2017 has also seen our first internet facing 10Gb bearer order and we have more in quote stage right now.
It’s difficult to see how 10 Mbps speeds in 2020 is going to make any real difference to 0.3 Mbps today for the UK Small Business. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose?
"Homes and businesses will have a legal right to demand faster broadband speed by 2020, the government has said, after rejecting a voluntary offer from BT." | 2019-04-20T16:23:20 | https://www.2circlesconsulting.com/9dotsblog/bad-news-for-uk-broadband/ | [

Some time in February I went to visit the Neurologist an experience I wrote about in the above post. I expressed very little about my experience with Dr. S as I was, at the time, extremely emotional. When I went into the meeting I was under the impression that I was meeting with my new Neurologist. I was excited and hopeful that I was going to get answers and treatment options, something Dr G had not provided. I had no idea that I was stepping into an ambush but that is exactly what it was an ambush.
Dr. S was extremely condescending and accusatory. When I explained the mix up to her in detail and with the collaboration of my husband she flat out told me that I have memory and mental health issues and thus I cannot expect anyone to trust my version of the story. She also indicated that I should not trust my own experience given my issues. I walked out of that appointment in tears. I cried for days afterwards. Sam wanted to report Dr. G for gross incompetence but I told him without written proof we don’t have a case. I am a terrible record keeper and tend to delete and dispose without much consideration so I figured even if we did scour our records the likelihood of finding something to corroborate our side of the story was unlikely. I wanted to move forward with treatment for PNES and put everything behind me. The experience was horrible and it severely damaged my trust in the health care system. Worse than that the experience has caused me to second guess myself to an unhealthy and debilitating degree.
I have been doing extensive spring cleaning over the last few weeks and today I decided to tackle some of our paperwork a task I have been dreading for years! Today I found proof a certified letter from Dr. R stating that I have Epilepsy. I can’t tell you how much it means to me. Why is it so important? Because it validates and corroborates what I’ve been telling Dr. G all along. Dr. R told me on numerous occasions that I had Epilepsy but Dr. G and Dr. S insisted so much that I was lying that I had started to believe I’d brainwashed myself and all my friends and family besides. I needed to see written proof. No I don’t plan to pursue legal action because I want nothing at all to do with any of the doctors involved. No I don’t plan to find a new Neurologist for treatment of Epilepsy I am still proceeding with this being psychological in origin. I doubt the competence of every doctor involved but the facts remain that medication was not effective so I have no choice but to take an alternate route.
I received an unsettling letter in the mail recently asking why I wanted to discontinue counseling services. I emailed my therapist promptly telling her I had no such intentions. I asked her why she thought I wanted to discontinue and it appears that when Dr. S discontinued my services that she attempted to discontinue more than just my Neurology services. Am I pissed off? You bet but I have a feeling if I attempt to contact Dr. G or Dr. S in any form they would just make a mess of everything. I do wonder if I need to find a new therapist as this one has been in contact with Dr. S and Dr. G and has already been confused. I fear I might not be able to straiten the situation out properly and establish a trusting relationship. | 2019-04-23T10:23:10 | https://curiousflowers.wordpress.com/2014/05/ | [

Len Hjalmarson has some thoughts on Good to Great, which I mentioned recently. Collins identifies a certain type of successful CEO which exhibits what he calls “Level 5 Leadership.” Len links to a Fast Company article from 2001 which provides a good overview of Collins’ book, which includes a section on how change occurs. I find not only Collins’ thinking on effective leadership to be of note, but also his outline of how change occurs. Slowly, gradually, gaining momentum… until the tipping point (not his phrase, I’m mixing metaphors again). I think this perspective is instructive for the missional church, on both counts.
I picked up Good to Great about a week ago and I’m finding a lot of links about the information as it applies to personal goals, non-profit (I read the monograph on the social service sector before the book, an order I don’t recommend), and the church.
Bill, I’m quite struck by your comment that Level 5 leadership is out of line with Mat. 20:25-28. My own reaction was how similar they are. Level 5 leaders are personally humble and put the good of the company over their own aspirations. In the book it also talks about executives who gave their workers privileges and benefits that they themselves didn’t have. A servant leadership model runs through the book, so I’m not sure where you see incongruity.
I would tend to see Level 5 Leadership as more like a business implimentation of servant leadership rather than a model for biblical leadership. It doesn’t purport to be that, and though I see some parallels I don’t think it’s a good idea to force the comparison to run in the wrong direction. I am also troubled at the widespread use of Collins for church purposes, maingly BHAGs as you say. A “spiritualized BHAG” might still just be presumption and personal ambition. The contexts using Collins in the church seem to be more Willow Creed Pastor-as-CEO types, and I’m uncomfortable with that whole scene. As Jude says, I do see a servant leadership them running through the book, but that might tend to be ignored in the Pastor-as-CEO type of thinking. I don’t think the leadership the Collins describes is incongrouous with the New Testament, but it’s only a small slice of the picture… but it doesn’t try to be any more than what it is.
Recently I’ve been thinking about the flywheel and the idea of the emerging/missional church gaining momentum, which I really like.
For the record, I read the book as a business owner looking for its insights for business purposes… whatever I’m taking from it for church leadership contexts is for me secondary and incidental. I’m not sure I would recommend it for anyone looking for insight specifically and only for the church… for those who just want a good overview for that purpose, read the article I linked. For those interested in the business angle, I can’t recommend it more highly than to say it’s the most important book I’ve read since Cluetrain.
Rob suggested that I contact you. I’ve been watching the site since spring.
He said that we each had some common experiences re the ch and ch leadership.
I am continuing research and would like some contact and input from others.
Maybe you could contact me via email. Thanks.
The challenge of godly leadership and its requirements continue to challenge the thinking and paradigms of leadership by many. Keep at it.
Jesus himself drew upon business analogies – but didn’t use business as a basis for designing the kingdom. I hear BM (that is a rather unfortunate initial set for your pseudonym, isn’t it) on making sure one doesn’t run the comparison the wrong way. I see it as when one follows biblical principles, even when not necessarily trying to be biblical, it tends to work. I think it’s unfortunate that ethics didn’t enter into the topic at all, and that Phillip Morris was included as a great company. Nonetheless, it is a fabulous book in identifying principles that will help any individual or organization get where they want to go.
Can anyone tell the difference between Willowback’s “Pastor-as-CEO”, the New Apostlic Reformation’s self-identified “apostles & prophets of the city and/or nation”, and Collins’ Level Five leaders?
I say that because, as someone who was royally “burnt” (or you can insert more colourful metaphors if you prefer) by the pastor-as-CEO types, I clearly recall them all carrying and quoting Collins’ Good To Great like it was the fifth Gospel.
In the place I came from, the pastors were seen carrying the Bible around and quoting it plus the leader’s/”apostle’s” interpretation as if it were the fifth gospel. Incessant quoting of Collins in this way proves to me that they don’t “get” it and that they are not operating as level 5 leaders.
Yes, since Collins wrote for a business crowd about business, there is a lot that the CEO-aspiring pastor will latch onto. What he says about leadership is mostly contained within a single chapter, and it’s almost an aside about the common qualities of successful leaders/CEOs. Some of the major commonalities are that they were largely unknown, they often rose from within the ranks of the company, and they are incredibly humble, not needing the limelight. They point to others following succeses, and they point to themselves following failures. How many CEO-aspiring pastors does this sound like? Precious few… or none, I’d say.
Don’t let their use of Collins’ work turn you off of him. There are some real nuggets in there about managing change… change from good to great. Let’s say the inherited church is the “good” but we’re hoping to make something great. So what do we need to know about how change takes place? Now you’re digging for the right stuff in Collins’ book. If you want to know how to be a great grand-poobah CEO leader, there’s stuff in there… but if that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t like what you find, and you won’t be properly equipped to negotiate the change being considered. That’s the issue with so many of these CEO-aspiring pastors, they’re not on the same page as this, and they can’t even see it.
I tend to much prefer “Bro.M.” for obvious reasons. The inclusion of Phillip Morris is discomforting from an ethical standpoint, but considering what Collins is on about and why, it must be acknowledged that PM is or was a very well-run company in the timeframe, and as such they help to inform Collins’ findings. This is one of things that’s so valuable about his book… it’s not a data sample of qualifying companies, it’s based on all of them.
I’m curious about the monograph though, as I haven’t read it. Does it genuinely add much for nonprofits, or just change a couple of the terms involved (like changing “profit” in the hedgehog concept)? Mostly wondering if some of those shifts or adaptations are fairly obvious even without the companion piece.
Robbymac, might I say, moi aussi.
I’m a fan of Collins for business. The church isn’t one. I’d be happy to NEVER see G2G or Built to Last in a church leader’s office. My experience (scars included) suggests they’ve done more harm than good.
The monograph makes a point of saying that non-profits should not try to run like businesses, because most businesses aren’t following concepts that will lead to greatness. Collins notes that although they used businesses to identify good-to-great concepts, it was primarily because stock prices made it easy to come up with a set of guidelines to separate great companies from the rest. Collins doesn’t see the priniciples as business concepts, just that businesses were used to identify them. So in the monograph, Collins says that these priniciples can be applied to the non-profit sector, including churches. But he did rework the profit-per-unit concept (what was it called, the economic denominator?) as abviously we don’t measure ourselves by $$.
Other than that I’ve forgotten a lot of the monograph. After reading it I realized I needed to read the book and understand the concepts before I could appreciate the adjustments for the non-profit sector.
Another book worth a look is Joy at Work by Dennis Bakke. Bakke, a Christian business man, writes about the company he co-founded and the culture they created was very similar to what Collins talks about, only Bakke directly relates them to his faith, although the book is written to a secular audience.
I’m still a bit surprised by the negative reaction to church leaders using the principles of GTG. I frankly think that the church needs a good dose of a lot of what’s in there. Too many Level 4 leaders, trying to bring about change through motivation strategies and one more conference, eternal optimism about the healings and revival without any reality checks. I could go on and on. But I’m a bit jaded right now and probably not that balanced. What’s true is true no matter where it’s found. I could easily see someone trying to use the book to apply prinicples that the book is against. But then again, people do that with the Bible, too.
I have just stunbled to this blog and am interested in the article you refer to above.
But cannot find the link. Would you be so kind as to email it to me, or post it here. | 2019-04-25T10:29:17 | http://subversiveinfluence.com/2006/11/jim-collins-on-leadership-change/ | [

China and Finland - a burgeoning cooperation on ice. China head coach Juha Nurminen (left) together with assistant coach Hu Jiang (right).
Kites are said to rise highest against the wind, not with it. For the ascent of the Chinese dragon, a combination of inexperience and bad luck has so far seen results go against them at the 2019 IIHF World Championships Division II Group A.
Without any points on board so far and facing Belgium during the final day, the prerequisites for China´s senior men´s team are simple: A regular time win will keep China in the group and instead send the Belgians down to Division IIB next season.
It is a relegation-decider which could have major implications for China in their attempts to assert themselves in the hockey world ahead of hosting the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
In order to speed up the development, twelve members on the Chinese roster currently playing in Division IIA spent most of their season honing their skills deep in the Finnish forests at the Olympic Training Center in Vuokatti, 500 kilometres north of its capital Helsinki.
“When the players first came to Vuokatti and I talked to the players, hockey was all about who scored the most goals. Today, they talk about how to defend and first after that how you score,” said China head coach Juha Nurminen, who worked with the Espoo Blues U20 team when China came calling last September.
Jumping at the chance to work with future Olympic athletes, Nurminen rolled up his sleeves and has since October last year worked intensively with 14 skaters and three goalies from its base in Finland.
“The skill level is a bit different from a Finnish hockey player, but they learned a lot. The players came to Vuokatti with a good attitude and normally we have two sessions on ice per day. First, we work on skills for 75 minutes and then later we work on our game for another 75 minutes. I think there has been a big difference from the middle of October to this day,” he said.
With communication initially being a challenge, Nurminen grew accustomed to speaking through an interpreter and soon threw the Chinese into the deep end with exhibition games against Finnish opponents.
“We won against all the teams we faced from the II-division (fourth level). We then lost in overtime against Haukat Jarvenpaa from Suomi-sarja (third tier) and against the U20 team of the Espoo Blues it got a little bit too hard for us. In all these games we played good ice hockey,” he said.
In Belgrade at the World Championship Division II Group A, it has been a mixed bag of performances so far. In China´s opener, Spain scored an empty netter to win 5-3. They followed it up with an undisciplined 0-7 loss against Croatia. China then gave away a three-goal lead in the final frame against hosts Serbia to lose 5-6. They were at it again when late penalties cost them dearly against Australia who in the end turn the game to edge China 2-3.
In short, a lot of room for improvements for a group of players who in less than three years should be the core of skaters to represent China at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
“It is difficult to say how many of these will play at the Olympics, but most of them that are here should play for China. I don´t know where they will find other players. There are good players in both the U18 and U20 team and they have three years’ time to develop. I cannot say how many will play, but someone will have to play,” said Nurminen.

Hu Jiang is currently Nurminen´s assistant coach and also a former head coach for China when they won promotion to from the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division II Group B played in Auckland, New Zealand.
“Hockey is a sport you need to develop long term, so right now we are doing our best to develop hockey as a sport in schools and that should help the entire country to develop more hockey players in the future,” he said.
Also a prominent player for the Chinese national team, Jiang was at the peak of his powers at the turn of this century with a burgeoning Chinese national team.
“My best memory from playing for China was at the 2000 World Championship C-Pool in Beijing when we got up to the B-Pool. I am glad to have been part of that team that played in that division,” he said about the Chinese national team before it hit a slump in their hockey development.
“At that time we had six to eight good, competitive teams in our national championship. Now we only have three-four. The pool of players have been diminishing drastically, which is the main reason why our hockey in China was going down,” said Jiang, who also works as a coach for one of the country´s leading clubs in player development, Qiqihar in the north-eastern Heilongjiang province.
With a deep insight into the Chinese game, how would Jiang rate his nation´s hockey prospects at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?
“As the host, we like to show good performances, and since we fought long to host the Olympics, we are trying our best to prepare ice hockey. It will be a long process but we are trying our best to prepare us for it,” said Jiang, who hopes for continued growth in the cooperation between China and Finland.
“We have had a political program in winter sports between China and Finland this year. We are tightly bonded with many winter sports and we hope to extend these programs in order to develop more hockey players. From my point of view, we should continue going to a country with such a high level of ice hockey like Finland and even try to play in a league there. But that will be the decision of the supervisors of the Chinese Ice Hockey Association,” said Jiang. | 2019-04-22T21:15:00 | https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2019/wmiia/news/10161/a-growing-partnership | [

It’s the end of a grueling workday and you’re still on edge, not yet recovered from the sting of a colleague’s tongue lashing. And it’s not the first time. Is this just another “bad day” on the job, or are you experiencing a form of workplace violence, aka bullying?
Forty-five percent of nurses have been verbally harassed or bullied by other nurses, while 41% have been verbally harassed or bullied by managers or administrators, according to a 2017 survey by RNnetwork.
Thompson, an author and speaker on workplace bullying, said most bullying is nurse to nurse, but other healthcare staff can also be bullies: the nursing assistant who’s been on the unit for 40 years and targets the new RN, or unit secretaries who victimize a particular nurse.
Cole Edmondson, DNP, RN, FACHE, NEA-BC, FAAN, CNO at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, agreed most nurses are bullied by other nurses, and most often through verbal abuse. He cited a December 2016 Texas Department of State Health Services study on workplace violence against nurses that revealed 82% of Texas nurses surveyed had experienced workplace violence, ranging from verbal abuse to physical acts.
Edmonson added bullying can target groups as well as individuals and is really a group phenomenon: one unit taking out their aggressions on another unit, or nurses on a unit bullying new hires or new graduates. Nurses in some areas or specialties may perceive or believe they are superior or “better than” another unit or specialty and degrade them, their care, their education or specialty.
Edmondson said in the literature and in practice “it’s known that nurse bullying ultimately impacts the quality and safety of patient care being provided, as 75% of nurses state they are aware of errors in patient care or issues created when nurse bullying occurs.” Many organizations have chosen to take the journey to Magnet designation to work on improving work environments, empowering nurses and creating excellent outcomes.
Some healthcare institutions are facing bullying head on, while others are reducing the incidence through cultivating a certain culture, said Lynda Olender, PhD, RN, MA, NEA-BC, associate dean, Hunter-Bellvue School of Nursing (New York) Graduate Programs, and a Distinguished Lecturer in Nursing.
Olender said organizations with caring cultures that follow the code of ethics and practice shared governance have a lower incidence of perceived bullying. Such organizations would experience fewer grievances overall because staff feel more valued, she said.
Edmonson asserted leadership should handle bullying by empowering workers through policies and procedures, making them aware bullying is not okay.
One reason bullying continues is that often those who witness or suspect the adverse behavior look the other way or decline to become involved. Nurses can and should stop that malicious pattern.
Rather than turn away, reach out to a colleague who is the target of a bully. “We can all be ‘upstanders’ by intervening in situations or reaching out to a colleague who is the target of a bully,” said Edmonson. “These situations don’t just stop when the bullying behavior is over. They have long lasting effects on mental health and one’s feelings of safety and security.” As nurses learn to identify and confront harmful behaviors toward themselves and coworkers, workplace violence, including bullying of nurses, will not be allowed to persist. Nurses — and patients — will be safer and secure.
Practice self awareness, observing how the situation is provoking an emotional response, recommended Olender.
Edmonson said if a nurse is comfortable doing so, he or she can address it directly with the person. If that’s not possible, Olender recommended practicing a response using role play on his or her own or with a friend.
If the nurse is not comfortable with the direct approach or if a direct discussion does not work, report it to a manager, supervisor or preceptor. If the manager is the problem, said Olender, seek the support of someone else, an educator or someone in human resources.
The nurse should find out the organization’s policy that addresses behaviors that undermine a culture of safety, and make sure he or she is clear on how the person has violated that policy. Then document the experiences with that person, stated Thompson.
Always document the situation: What happened, who said what and who witnessed the incident. Edmondson stresses that documenting needs to happen immediately since one’s impressions and memories are often less precise over time.
New nurses are an easy target for bullies, just because they’re new, noted Thompson. Preventing this starts with the job hunt, so new nurses should do their homework about the healthcare organization to which they are applying, said Olender. “Do they have a caring culture, a code of ethics, policies and procedure in place? Do they have shared governance?” If they do, the likelihood of bullying is probably lower, she said.
Some units can be toxic, Olender said. Ask the right questions in the interview process, such as how scheduling conflicts are handled. She said it’s a positive sign if unit nursing staff are part of the interviewing process, as it shows the organization is empowering the staff to make decisions about colleagues.
Ask if there are policies and procedures for workplace violence. Look at their orientation — what do they do to insure a healthy work environment?
Practice prevention personally as well. “Know what bullies look for in a target,” said Renee Thompson. Bullies look for “nurses who they don’t think will confront or challenge them, who seem insecure or nervous, who are passive communicators — anything that makes them different,” she said. For example, a BSN new hire might find him or herself as a target because most of the other nurses on the unit have associate’s degrees.
A nurse should act confident when starting a new position, Thompson said. Hold your head high. Shake hands of new people with confidence.
Look up the free online resource, the Civility Tool-kit, which addresses bullying behavior across the continuum.
I was a victim of bullying vpby nurses at a facility when the 2008 housing crash happened. The nurse would verbally tell her colleagues behingpd my back within earshot what a horrible RN I was. I was almost at a point of getting fired and went before the nurse manager. I attempted to get my old position back if I was that inept at this one. I ended up going on stress leave and had a conference call with them including professionals who were on my side. The end result? The nurse manager was laid off, as well as some some old timers ( they make too much money), and I got my dignity back. I have a position now where I have boundaries and am respected by families and nurses alike???!
Every person you encounter within your profession can truly make a difference with how they perceive the value of their contributions and efforts by vesting time, and sharing knowledge and experience. It’s easy to turn a blind eye and allow a fellow colluege to struggle, after all, why should they be worthy of not enduring the struggles and lessons earned like a right of passage. I”ll share my beliefs on this. How are we preserving our profession as nurses, when we judge our own without any regard to how we may potentially impact someone’s dream to make an difference guiding a patient towards restoring their health? The journey and struggles one makes to become a nurse may bring hard life lessons, but the very few who stand out and realize vesting in our professions future are the very few that keep hope..hope for passing knowledge and wisdom, along with passing the torch to the future generations of our nursing profession.
Ironic how Edmunson talks about bullying when it is his own nursing units that are the biggest bullies in the DFW metroplex.
1. Directly communicating with my preceptor result. Made me a bigger target. She even said to my face that she, “Hated people” among other horrible things to me.
2. Went to my supervisor who spoke to her but I became an even bigger target by the other nurses who were close friends with my previous preceptor. My new preceptor berated me so badly that I went into a room to cry. I was followed in by two co-workers who saw what she did and offered comfort, advice and even tips on my charting error, But no one spoke out.
3. I spoke to a Nurse educator as part of the new grad program, but that just made things worse. I was targeted as a problem nurse and all my mistakes were blown out of proportion and I was being “spoken to” during my shifts pulled away from care for the most mundane issues. It got ridiculous.
I could see that the writing on the wall was just to get rid of me. I am not a pushover or a whiner. I am an older new grad. A former professional in law enforcement and a veteran. I cannot believe the change these women had on me. I became a shadow of my former confident self. I was a nervous and terrified version of myself. I am afraid to speak up for myself. I fear repercussions, loss of my job and more. The current system of “follow the chain of command” “go to HR” does not work. IMHO I wish a separate entity like an Internal Affairs in law enforcement would be set up by nurses for nurses from outside the established groups within an organization. In the end I left before they found fired me. And now I fear applying anywhere. I’d rather face ISIS then a pack of nurses.
I totally agree!! Everything you said has been true for me at every job I’ve had. So tired of the bullying among nurses!!!
In my opinion bullying in healthcare is very prolific because many nurses are great advocates for their patients, but very poor advocates for themselves. While nurse to nurse bullying is bad, what is worst is when the bullying is coming from a nurse manager to a staff nurse. The staff nurse is at a great disadvantage, however, a nurse should persist that any form of bullying in the workplace be from a nurse to nurse bullying or from a nurse manager to a staff nurse, be stopped!!
Some of the nurses came from different country and they have different accent. Locals understand the english and it will not depend on the english. However, nurses do their best to carefully communicate to their patients to assist them right also.
How amazing to see my own story mirrored by others. I also am being targeted and bullied by management. And while nurses may advocate for pts, they are often reluctant to advocate for a nurse being bullied by management. I imagine the power of at least a handful of our 60 RNs speaking up, but how many actually do!? One.. and that is myself . Stepford wives of nursing who pride themselves on their efficiency, yet when it comes to having the integrity to standing up for other nurses , or to management….. good luck!
I’m going through this as an OT with another OT colleague..horrific sociopath of a bully and sleeps in her car instead of seeing patients.
I am being bullied by management and by the staff. Other nurses do not stick up for you they just stand by and watch. Some participate in bullying. There is no support from management, human resources or anyone. When you report it you get labeled and you are treated as if you are not credible and they attack your character. Wish there was somewhere you can go to get help.
The problem is the “insubordination” accusation. You learn in high school how to talk back to bullies, but if there is a shouting match on the unit, it’s the crime of the century. Instead, I think hospitals should not retaliate when nurses hit back at bullies or if staff argues with the supervisor. Insubordination on an employee’s record should be liable to slander/ libel lawsuit.
I am a 59 year old RN who has worked my entire nursing career without experiencing bullying until recently. I was employed by a health care system as a supervisor of a psychiatric facility in central PA. I worked there for 6 months on a 12 hour weekend option. During that time I began to be harassed, bullied and reported multiple times by three older new RN’s from the Child Adolescent Unit. All three have had other careers and when they finished orientation the DON felt they should be cross trained to cover the hospital as supervisor. Administration paid them ten dollars an hour on top of their regular salary when they covered the facility. This was enough financial incentive as well as them wanting my weekend option position. All three were all on a 5 day per week schedule rotating shifts. I reported the bullying and it was dismissed by nursing administration and so I took it to Hospital Administration. After that I was assaulted by a teenager and was on workman’s comp for a week and when I returned I was treated even worse by Nursing Administration. The bullying went as far as me having my car tire slashed while at work. I realize now that not every nurse who works at a psychiatric facility has good mental health and administration does not like anyone shining a bright light on situations where experienced supervisors are bullied by staff. Eventually I wrote a letter to the CEO of the health system. I did receive a meeting at corporate headquarters and a sincere apology from the corporate level administrators, however the real issue still remains that I have PTSD from such a traumatic work experience and the psychiatric hospital now has one of the three young inexperienced nurses as the supervisor in my old position and they continue to bully older professional employees. Sometimes we must realize that bullying is a corporate culture and it was not only allowed it was fostered and those who engaged it in at every level realized this too. The entire staff at this hospital now know that it will be tolerated and maybe even applauded. | 2019-04-25T17:56:44 | https://www.nurse.com/blog/2017/08/23/how-to-recognize-and-prevent-bullying-in-nursing/ | [

An architectural masterpiece, Daniel Libeskind’s spectacular structure has firmly established itself as one of Berlin’s most recognizable landmarks. The zinc-paneled building is innovative in the connection it creates between the museum’s topics and its architecture. Libeskind has dubbed his design Between the Lines, a title that reflects the tensions of German-Jewish history. Inscribed within the design of the building, the past takes shape along two lines charting various cultural connections and modes of thought: one is straight, but broken into many fragments; the other is winding and open-ended. The intersection of these lines is marked by voids - empty spaces that cut through the entire museum. Rich in symbolism, the museum’s architecture makes German-Jewish history palpable.
Temporary exhibitions on cultural history, contemporary art installations, and special displays – these are a few of the ways in which the museum’s special exhibitions draw on a broad range of themes to complement the permanent historical exhibition, which is currently being remodeled.
In November 2012, the Academy of the Jewish Museum Berlin opened ceremoniously across the street from the museum. The Academy, built after architect Daniel Libeskind’s design titled Zwischenräume (in-between spaces), is integrated into the hall of the former central flower market. The new location unites, with a total surface of 6.000 square meters, the archives, library and education department under one roof, as well as the newly founded Academy Programs. Since 2013, the Academy Programs broaden the museum’s spectrum to include the debate on new terms and concepts necessary for greater social participation of ethnic and religious minorities in German society today. | 2019-04-18T16:59:14 | https://freshmuseum.com/artpage/juedischesmuseumberlin?category=berlin | [

Regular exercise is an essential part of life which many people do not follow. This is the main cause for all the obesity that is prevalent at present. When a person exercises, there are a lot of benefits that he gains, including weight loss. However, if he performs exercises on a daily basis, he would not put on weight at all. Thus, there is a connection between exercise or weight loss.
The weight that a person puts on is defined by the number of calories that is retained inside the body without being used. These calories convert into fat and cause obesity. However, the body uses some of these calories to derive energy and function smoothly. Thus, when a person exercises, he uses up most of the calories that he consumes, preventing the formation of fat. In case he has already put on weight, he will reduce the fat with exercise.
To burn more calories, you need to do streneous exercise followed by healthy diet. The best form of exercises are gym, yoga, dance and sports activity.
However, you should know that merely exercising will not give you the complete results. There are a few requirements that you have follow. A balanced diet is one of the prime requisites. This diet should have the appropriate number of calories that is suggested for the male or female body respectively. Consuming more calories that required will lead to weight gain.
Apart from weight loss, there are other healthy benefits that exercise provides.
Physical exercise prevents the risk factors of many diseases which can prove to be fatal. Cholesterol is one such potential threat to a cardiac arrest.
Heart diseases are prevented as the heart muscles are made strong with exercise and also by lowering the blood pressure in the body.
Diabetes patients can also benefit from weight loss as type-2 diabetes is controlled through physical activities.
There are various exercises which help in the process of weight loss. You can however select any type of sports and household chores to get the task done. The best and the simplest way of exercise is to go for a good jog either in the morning or in the evening.
Going to the gym is another option that many people choose. They also hire a gym instructor in order to make sure that they are performing the exercises in the right way. Performing wrongly would be more of a harm that benefit. Thus there is a strong connection between exercise and weight loss as the former helps the person in losing good amount of weight through natural ways. | 2019-04-24T00:08:46 | https://trivology.com/what-is-the-connection-between-fasting-and-weight-loss/ | [

C3 Team Member, Robert Bastone, will be among 12 students representing UCR’s Model United Nations (UCRMUN) to compete at this year’s National Model United Nations conference, which will be held in New York on April 6th-10th. The conference will feature debates on various international issues by students worldwide. Participants are assigned countries or non-government organizations (NGOs) to represent and conduct a mock session, culminating in debate for some students on the floor of the United Nation’s General Assembly and Economic and Social Council.
UCRMUN, which has been in existence for nearly forty years, is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating students in international policy, relations, and politics, and seeks to accurately simulate the functions of the United Nations. Model United Nations has become an increasingly popular activity for high school and college students throughout the country. Conferences throughout the nation have been held including several in Southern California. At the conferences, students represent delegations from various nation-states and non-governmental organizations in the same setting as the actual United Nations. This past February, UCRMUN hosted its 37th annual high school conference, which was attended by over 400 students from13 high schools.
Bastone who is looking forward to the national conference hopes to contribute a “winning attitude” to the competition. He will be representing the non-governmental organization CARE, a development and humanitarian organization the Committee on the Exercise of the Unalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. The twelve UCR students will be placed into six committees, in which two students serve.
Bastone, third year Political Science/Law and Society major, recently joined the award-winning CHASS College Computing team as a News Writer intern. He joined UCRMUN last June and currently serves as Fundraising Director. Recently, he was elected as Assistant-Secretary General of UCRMUN, for the 2004-2005 academic year. Robert is also Vice-President of Member Development for the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity Chapter at UCR, and volunteers in his spare time.
Robert views being chosen as one of the twelve students to attend the New York Conference as a “big honor.” He was chosen along with his fellow committee members based on his experience and service. At the upcoming conference, “I expect a high level of competition similar to what we have experienced at previous conferences,” Bastone commented. In addition, Bastone believes that UCRMUN will fare well in the competition.

Designing professional stickers is easy with our free label designer! In fact, we’ve just overhauled the way designer works to make it the most straight-forward label designer out there!
From here, you’ll be taken to page one of our label designer (label builder) and the process can begin!
TOP TIP: Have a Tape Measure / Ruler Handy!
Before you get started: If you have a ruler to hand, you can see the label size before you order. Having a ruler means you can get a good idea of how the label will look and if it will be big enough or small enough for your intended purpose.
We’re sure you already have a size in mind but don’t worry, you can pick your label options and then see the available sizes once that’s done.
… Let’s create a label with that in mind!
Label Size: This differs depending on the other options you choose.
You’ll notice that as you select from the different options on the left, you will have your “Matching Labels” displayed on the lower-right hand side of the page. The label can be clicked on to take to step two of the builder. But before we do that, let’s create a simple example label using those options….
We’d then be given the following three label options in this case, with the sizes and prices clearly displayed. Delivery is ALWAYS FREE and fast!
With those selections made, we can start adding your details to the label you have chosen!
Let’s create a label as we go. Imagine we want a branded label with “Sticky Labels” text on it, our logo and “Label Designer” underneath.
By default, you will be in the “Text” section of the label designer.
This is great if you’d like a heading at the top for example. You can see the changes to the label in the label preview window!
We can always pick the font and tweak the sizes etc as you go so you can make sure it looks right!
Have a play around to make sure it looks right. You may need to resize the text or perhaps expand the gaps between text but you can switch between options and tweak and change as necessary!
If you picked a “single colour print” label then you will see the following notification, letting you know that the image will be converted into line art. This means it will be in plain colour without shading. So the print preview may differ from the actual print! We will try to contact you and let you know if the printed image will differ from the preview but we cannot guarantee that we spot every issue.
Buy It Now or add More Options!
At this stage, you may be complete. In which case you can choose the “Add to My Cart” option, but first you can select the number of labels you’d like printed from the drop-down menu. You can even have different amounts of labels on the roll like 250, 500 or 1000.
Now you can simply proceed to the checkout or make the last few changes. All prices are clearly displayed so you have no nasty surprises at the checkout!
I didn’t mention that you could insert a stock image at a small extra cost or add barcodes or consecutive numbering if you want to keep tracking of each label. This is just a basic example of what you can do and how you can do it.
You can always use our live chat or call is if you have any problems and we’ll be happy to help!
Remember that we include free postage and with the price you see and we print and dispatch within 2 working days of getting the order. We have a super-fast service available too if you are in a hurry.
Trust us, creating labels is easy with our label designer so why not click the link at the top of this blog post and go and have a play around. You’ll be creating labels in minutes! | 2019-04-20T06:34:22 | https://www.stickylabels.com/latest/2017/03/using-sticky-labels-label-designer-label-design-example/ | [

When I started out in real estate, I had big dreams — fancy cars, slick suits, velvety leather briefcases brimming with new listings — but I had no clear idea of how to get from li’l ol’ me, to power broker.
Some subscribed to a virtual assistant program online. Others created “teams.” And some hired transaction coordinators and marketing assistants ad hoc. | 2019-04-20T11:14:28 | https://www.inman.com/2013/04/03/moving-beyond-going-it-alone/ | [

The House reconvened on Monday, March 14 for day 36 of the 2016 legislative session and an extremely busy week, as sine die (the 40th and final day of the 2016 session) is just days away. We had a busy legislative agenda this week, both on the House floor and in committee meetings as we continued to review, study and vote on legislation. With day 40 right around the corner, many more House and Senate bills received final passage this week and are now on their way to Governor Deal’s desk for consideration.
In my short time as your State Representative, it seems that each year there is a singularly important and perhaps historic legislation that dominates the General Assembly session. During 2015, it was the Transportation Funding Act of 2015 with its record-setting $900 million tax increase. This year, it was debate about how to best protect the religious liberty of all Georgians, regardless of faith or lack thereof. This discussion has been on-going in Georgia for many years.
Proponents and supporters of religious liberty legislation cite the need to protect individuals, businesses, pastors and others from being forced to participate in activities that are in opposition to their closely and deeply held religious beliefs. Sadly, the need for religious liberty protection is clearly founded in the actions of those, particularly from the LGBTQA+ community, who would seek to force businesses, such as florists and bakeries, to sell flowers or to bake cakes for gay wedding ceremonies and when they refuse, these businesses have been forced out of business.
Pastors are being forced to take a legal and theological stand in opposition to performing gay wedding ceremonies because doing so is a direct contradiction to their biblical and religious beliefs, and when they refuse there are those who then take legal action against the pastors. There certainly are churches and denominations who accept and willingly perform gay weddings. This is their right to do so. The problem is when those who believe in gay wedding ceremonies try to legally force their beliefs upon those who disagree.
There are strong forces in the business community who say that Georgia, by its passage of this act is demonstrating blatant discrimination against others who disagree with their religious beliefs. This argument is patently false.
In the 30 states that have passed Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA) there has not been one single case of proven discrimination as a result of RFRA’s passage. The argument otherwise is simply untrue.
This is why passage of the Free Exercise Protection Act is important for all Georgians – to protect every citizen of Georgia in the exercise of their religious beliefs. And this is why I enthusiastically supported the passage of the Free Exercise Protection Act.
For more details on this historic legislation please click here.
Now, all that is needed is for Governor Deal to sign this historic legislation into law. You may show your support by contacting the Governor's office at 404-656-1776.
Recently I announced that House Bill 219, legislation I sponsored regarding public and private pools, received final passage in the State Senate. HB 219 will now to go Governor Deal for consideration.
I am pleased that the General Assembly recognized the importance of clarifying private property rights regarding swimming pools and for strengthening the safety of private pools in condos, townhouses and other private pools that serve a small number of property owners.
HB 219 clarifies and redefines public versus private property pools for purposes of health and safety, and the legislation I drafted was in response to a problem with unreasonable inspections of private pools in Glynn County. The bill also strengthens the basic standards and minimum safety requirements for private pools by establishing a list of five key safety items that must pass an annual inspection: compliance with federal law regarding suction outlet covers; availability of lifesaving and rescue equipment; security of access to common pool areas; water quality; and safety of electrical systems.
The bill makes no changes to health and safety rules governing apartment complex pools, or private residence pools, nor does the bill change any existing pool construction codes for the State of Georgia.
The passage of HB 219 is the result of two years of negotiations and discussions with the Georgia Department of Health, the Georgia Realtors Association, the Georgia Apartment Association and the Georgia Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. A special thanks to Jimmy Pruett, Chairman of the House State Planning & Community Affairs Committee, who helped to resolve concerns of the Department of Public Health and see this bill through the legislative process.
This week, the House unanimously passed Senate Bill 364, the “Quality Based Education Act,” to revise annual performance evaluations for public school teachers and state mandated testing. SB 364 revises evaluations so that student growth would account for 30 percent of a teacher’s evaluation, down from the current 50 percent. Additionally, professional growth would account for 20 percent, and the test component of teacher evaluations is lowered from 70 percent to 40 percent. The bill would also reduce the number of state mandated tests from 32 to 24 for students in grades K-12 by removing social studies and science milestone tests in grades 3, 4, 6, and 7. SB 364 would also ask local school systems to move all testing as close to the end of the school year as possible to ensure the students have received maximum exposure to the material prior to testing. SB 364 also adds formative testing in 1st and 2nd grades to measure progress and early learning to guarantee that all students are proficient in reading by 3rd grade and proficient in math by 5th grade. The bill is the result of multiple meetings with teachers, administrators, parents, and advocacy groups from across the state who gave input and opinions on what should be revised in the current evaluation and testing systems.
This legislation will give our teachers more freedom to teach Georgia’s students and will take the burden off both students and teachers. Our teachers greatly influence the youth in our state, and as such, we want to provide them with the resources to have the best opportunity to succeed in the classroom so that our students have the best opportunity to succeed in the future.
Another bill that received unanimous passage in the House this week was Senate Bill 402, legislation that would place a moratorium on new applications for licensure of narcotic treatment programs and create a commission to study the current licensure requirements in Georgia. While current license holders would be eligible to renew their license during the moratorium, SB 402 would put a temporary freeze on issuing new narcotic treatment facility licenses through June 30, 2017. During this time, the State Commission on Narcotic Treatment Programs, established under this bill, would study the need for any changes to the licensure requirements for these programs to ensure the safety of Georgia’s citizens. The commission would be tasked with examining the current narcotic treatment program licensure requirements for adequacy; assessing how the current licensure requirements and enforcement of the requirements provide adequate medical, counseling, vocational, educational, mental health assessment, and social services to patients enrolled in these programs and how these programs can be assessed for achieving recovery; determining if the geographic service areas are reasonable and balanced between population density and service proximity; determining the cause and effect of hospital admittance for overdose and incidents of suicide, if any, in relation to the adequate licensure and oversight of these programs; and hearing expert testimony on the effectiveness of nonnarcotic, medically assisted treatments for narcotic dependence and determining what legislative changes, if any, need to be made to address the commission’s findings.
The commission would be comprised of three members from both the House and the Senate, appointed by the Speaker of the House and the Lieutenant Governor, and five members appointed by the Governor, including the commissioner of the Department of Community Health and the commissioner of the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Georgia ranks third in the nation for the highest number of narcotic treatment clinics with 62 clinics, despite the fact that we are eighth in total population. I am hopeful that this legislation will provide a solution to the increasing number of drug abuse and overdoses we see each year and ultimately save lives. There is a vital need for these treatment centers, but we must also get to the root of the issue and find out why there are so many of these facilities in Georgia.
We also passed Senate Bill 350 and Senate Resolution 558 this week, which would allocate tax revenue from firework sales in our state to Georgia trauma centers, fire services, and local public safety purposes. SB 350 would allocate 55 percent of the excise tax revenues from all fireworks sales in Georgia to the Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission, which was created in 2007 to maintain a trauma center network, coordinate existing trauma facilities and direct patients to the best available facility for their needs. Additionally, 40 percent of the excise tax revenues collected from firework sales would go to the Georgia Firefighter Standards and Training Commission, which provides certification standards for all firefighters, fire inspectors, fire investigators and fire and life safety educators. The funds would be used to implement a grant program to improve the equipping and training of firefighters and the rating of fire departments by the Insurance Services Office.
Finally, five percent of the tax revenues would go to local governments to be used for public safety purposes and the operation of 9-1-1 systems. Senate Resolution 558 is the companion legislation to SB 350 and would amend the Georgia Constitution in order to allocate the excise tax funds, if approved by voter referendum on the November ballot. During the 2015 legislative session, the General Assembly passed legislation allowing the commercial sale and use of fireworks in Georgia. Should these measures receive final passage through the General Assembly and passage from Georgia voters in November, we would be able to provide a beneficial and much needed funding to the trauma, fire, and local government networks in our state by granting them the flexibility to improve and continue providing exceptional service to all Georgians.
The House also passed a measure this week to toughen the penalties for criminals who commit domestic violence in Georgia. Senate Bill 193 would make it a felony if a person commits family violence and has a previous conviction for family violence battery in Georgia, or in any other state. Prosecutors would be able to issue repeat family violence offenders a felony instead of another misdemeanor, closing a loophole that previously allowed some offenders to receive misdemeanor charges upon their second family battery conviction. The bill would also make the crime punishable by one to five years in prison. This legislation would strengthen our judicial system and punish violent, serial criminals, while also protecting those who they seek to harm.
Unfortunately the Senate did not pass the Georgia Space Flight Act but instead placed the issue into a space bill study committee. According to Rep. Jason Spencer (D180-Woodbine), the Senate’s decision to move the bill into a study committee was based on issues and jurisdiction that are not under state control.
HB734, the Georgia Space Flight Act, passed the House with overwhelming support (I voted YES). After the bill moved into the Senate, the Senate Science & Technology committee decided to place the bill into a Senate study committee after spending approximately 90 minutes discussing the legislation. The Senate’s primary focus was on the Federal Aviation Administration’s launch licensing process and applicable federal regulations as well as county zoning issues should the launch site be approved by the FAA, all of which are not under the control of the State of Georgia. Rep. Spencer pledges to bring the legislation before the General Assembly in 2017.
This week we passed another bill to keep Georgians safe in Senate Bill 367, a comprehensive update to Georgia’s criminal justice reform legislation. SB 367 would expand Georgia’s accountability courts to include “operating under the influence” court divisions as an alternative to the traditional justice system with the ultimate goal of reducing recidivism rates. Any court with jurisdiction over DUI or boating under the influence cases would be able to create a division of their courts to handle those cases. Similarly, any juvenile court would be able to create a “family treatment” court division to address issues within families through court intervention and the reduction of dependency. The goal of a family treatment court would be to reduce alcohol or drug abuse and addiction in child dependency proceedings; improve outcomes for families when dependency is based on alcohol or drug use and addiction; increase the personal, familial and societal accountability of defendants in child dependency proceedings; and promote effective intervention and use of resources among child welfare personnel, law enforcement, treatment providers, community agencies, and the courts. SB 367 would also allow the Department of Corrections and the Department of Juvenile Justice to operate charter schools within state juvenile justice facilities under the control of the State Charter School Commission to allow children who are incarcerated to continue to receive an education.
Furthermore, individuals who have a suspended license as a result of a criminal conviction would be able to receive their license sooner under SB 367 by allowing time spent in prison to count toward license suspension time. The bill would also add court-mandated activities such as attending programs, treatment, and accountability court to the list of limited driving exemptions for drivers with limited driving permits. SB 367 would change the Georgia First Offender Statute to allow courts to set a date at when a defendant would be exonerated of guilt and have their criminal record restricted as long as the defendant successfully complies with the sentence and does not receive future convictions. The bill also updates probation stipulations if an individual fails to pay a fine or report to their probation officer and will now include a scheduled hearing in court. The legislation would also let inmates who have served sentences for certain drug-related offenses or repeat offenders of non-violent felonies be eligible for parole if they had no convictions for violent felonies; completed at least six years of their total sentence; were considered a low risk for recidivism; earned a high school diploma; and had no serious disciplinary violations in the past 12 months in jail. Those convicted of felony drug convictions would now be allowed to apply for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits upon their release to help ease the transition to re-entry. Finally, the bill would prohibit professional licensing boards from refusing to license an individual because of an arrest or conviction of a felony unless it directly related to the occupation they were attempting to be licensed. Legislative efforts over the past several years have made Georgia a national leader in criminal justice reform, and the modifications in SB 367 are a further example of how we can continue to be smart on crime, keep the citizens of Georgia safe, and help those who re-enter to become productive members of society. Providing alternatives to incarceration in the form of education and treatment not only allow our non-violent offenders to have a second chance at life, but will decrease recidivism rates. These efforts serve to make Georgia a safer place for all of our citizens, and I am proud of this body and the work we have done to offer those protections to our state.
SB 206, by Sen. William T. Ligon, Jr. (R-Brunswick), revises provisions relating to the prohibition of a water supplier's option to disconnect water service to premises because of the indebtedness of a prior owner, occupant, or lessee. The bill provides a procedure to obtain information regarding moneys owed for water supplied to certain real property under certain circumstances. SB 206 exempts any property from the refusal to supply water because of the indebtedness of the prior occupant. A new section is added to current law setting forth that any property owner or tenant, person executing a contract for the purchase or occupancy of property, attorney closing a real estate transaction, or lender considering the loan of funds to be secured by real property shall have the right to request a statement from the water supplier setting forth the amount of any outstanding water charges along with any late fees with interest. Rep. Alex Atwood (R-St. Simons Island) spoke in support of the bill. He indicated that ACCG, GMA, the Georgia Realtors Association, and others are in support of this legislation. There was one amendment, but it was withdrawn.
SR 730, by Sen. William T. Ligon, Jr. (R-Brunswick), encourages the Coastal Regional Commission to create a comprehensive plan for and oversee the implementation of the Coastal Georgia Greenway and to create and file an annual report with the General Assembly detailing its progress. I presented this bill before the House where it passed with a vote of 149-18.
SB 263, by Sen. Bruce Thompson (R-White), allows for the governing authority of each municipality and county in this state, as well as each board of education, which employs sworn police officer who are POST certified to adopt policies under which officers may retain their weapon or badge upon retirement or leaving employment as a result of a disability arising in the line of duty. It passed the House today with a vote of 123-46.
SR 876, by Sen. Steve Gooch (R-Dahlonega), was carried in the House by Rep. Kevin Tanner (R-Dawsonville). It seeks to establish a Joint High-Speed Broadband Communications Access for All Georgians Study Committee. No changes were made in the House Special Rules Committee where this Resolution had been assigned. This resolution passed 166-0.
This week, we also had a special guest stop by the House. On Monday, we were honored to have Atlanta Braves legend Henry “Hank” Aaron and his wife Billye join us on the House floor, where we recognized the couple for their work in the community. Hank Aaron played 21 seasons with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and completed his career with two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. During his 23 year career, Aaron was an MLB All-Star for 21 seasons, still holding many records for most All-Star selections, a three-time Golden Glove right fielder, and the 1957 National League Most Valuable Player. Despite receiving many awards throughout his long career, Aaron is probably best remembered for his 715th homerun on April 8, 1974 which broke the previous home run record held by Babe Ruth. Since his retirement from baseball, Hank and Billye Aaron have been very active in their community, working with the Andrew Young Foundation and the Morehouse School of Medicine to advance the education of African-American citizens. Their commitment to the community is inspiring, and it was an honor to meet such a legendary couple.
Next week will be the final week of the 2016 legislative session. On Thursday, March 24 we will convene one final time this session for legislative day 40, or “sine die,” the last day we have to pass any legislation this year. While the end is near, there is still work to be done and many issues to be considered, and your input on these issues is very important to me. My colleagues and I will work long hours every day next week to ensure that we are doing what is best for Georgia and its citizens. If you are following legislation that you would like to see passed, or if you have any questions about the bills that the General Assembly has considered this session, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Your input will help guide my decisions during this crucial time, and I appreciate all of your feedback. You can reach me at my Capitol office at (404) 656-0126 or by email at Jeff.Jones@house.ga.gov.
As always, thank you for allowing be to be your representative. | 2019-04-23T00:24:46 | https://www.votejeffjones.com/legislative_update_week_10_mar_18_2016 | [

Had a short discussion about my game project today. Short story shorter, I didn’t have any material to show what is was like years ago.
Now I do. It was surprisingly simple to get most of the versions to run like they used to. The only real challenge was eliminating the dependency for an asset server; at that time one of my interests was streaming patching and bigfiles as in Guild Wars. Of course I had to implement my own version to a ‘real’ game. After some asset hunting and code patching the games successfully loaded local files and I could finally record the videos in question.
Except one. I had some serious issues with font rendering in one of the versions(pygame either segfaults or freezes without error) and in the end had to replace the fonts with placeholder squares; no idea why in broke and no real reason to fix them. | 2019-04-21T16:10:22 | http://blog.dea.fi/2013/11/old-versions-of-peli-game-project-now.html | [

The SPARROW panel of judges (N Sukumaran, Kannan Sundaram and Ambai) decided to take up contribution to literature in general this year for consideration for the SPARROW-R THYAGARAJAN Literary Award 2018. Two awards are normally given for Tamil writers and one for a non-Tamil writer. This year for the first time we decided unanimously to award three Tamil writers and two non-Tamil writers. In Tamil, two awards for acknowledging and honouring writers who have been in the field for many years and one award for a younger writer for literary work done in the recent past. The SPARROW-R Thyagarajan Literary Award 2018 for Tamil was given to S Thenmozhi for her excellent contribution to fiction and poetry and non-fictional work, Ba Venkatesan for the wonderful literary work he has done for the past many years both in terms of fiction and poetry and S Senthilkumar for the promising work he has done in fiction and poetry. This year the non-Tamil writer award was shared by two writers: Varsha Adalja, a feminist novelist and playwright, who won the 1995 Sahitya Akademi Award for Gujarati language for her novel Anasar, who is also a dramatist who has acted and written several stage plays, screenplays and radio plays and Aruna Dhere, a Marathi writer, who has written over forty books in different genres including personal essays, short stories, novels, poems, travelogues, children's stories, bhakti literature, folk literature and social history.
Former Trustee of SPARROW, Dr Roshan Shahani, gave away the award and spoke eloquently about her association with SPARROW and SPARROW's work and also about how Indian language literature needs to be taught and studied as diligently as English literature is, for India is a land of diverse languages and diverse cultures all of which contribute to what makes India.
The award function is normally an informal event which we organise in collaboration with RCWS (Research Centre for Women's Studies). Our association with RCWS is a long one and it is always a pleasure to work with Dr Putul Sathe who is generous with her time for this event. This is an annual event when everyone who is a friend of SPARROW comes to support and cheer us up. This year too our regular friends Dr Divya Pandey (former trustee and friend in whose love and support we thrive), Dr Chhaya Datar, Vijaya Dass, Dr Kunjalata Shah and writers Pudhiya Madhavi, Urmila Pawar and of course, our own Vishnu Mathur were there. It was a pleasure to have Ila Arab Mehta, the legendary Gujarati writer, with us and she came quietly as her sister Varsha Adalja's guest.
Apart from the usual Mumbai features like traffic jams this time there was a little bit more of problems in coordination for the Tamil writers had decided to stay in different places. Ba Venkatesan was staying with his daughter-in-law's family, S Senthilkumar was staying in the SNDT University Women's Hostel guest room and S Thenmozhi came with her extended family and was put up at the SRP Guest house at Goregaon East (arranged by the enterprising and ever helpful Anuradha Krishnaswamy in her official capacity).
S Senthilkumar came the previous evening and looked a bit disconcerted for he was the only one in the entire third floor of the hostel. He said that 24 days in a month he stays away from his family in Thiruvarur in a room amidst books as editor of a journal and is with his family only six days in a month. He was hoping his Mumbai trip would mean being with other writers and here he was all alone once again! But he said staying in a girls' hostel and eating at the mess hall with them will be a new experience and he welcomed it. We cheered him up with some tea and chakli and left him in his room with some more snacks to munch and sonpapdi to keep him happy.
Ba Venkatesan kept his promise of wearing the maroon shirt he had worn in the photograph which we all liked but he did not know about the Mumbai traffic and came half an hour late with his wife, daughter-in-law and grandson. Although he had told us that he did not want his age mentioned we did mention it in the PPT we did on each writer but he took it sportingly and did not complain for we had forgiven him for coming late.
S Thenmozhi's problem was different. She arrived at 6 a.m. on the morning of the event and had told us there was no need to receive her at Dadar station. We assumed someone else would receive her. But when she rang us up at 6 a.m. and said that no one had come to receive her I panicked for she did not know Hindi and she was with a family of eight people. But the ever efficient Pooja Pandey handled it with her characteristic calmness (after all, she is the cool one who stood outside the Operation Room before going in for a Caesarean section to tell me the Annual Report was complete and that she had mailed it to me) and told them to take cabs and she instructed the drivers over the phone on what route to take. We wondered how they would make it in the evening for the SRP Guest House is in the interior area and it is difficult to book cabs to come inside the campus. Aarti Pandey and Sayali Balekar who can practically deal with all such hurdles brought the family of eight in autos and a taxi just a little before 5 p.m.
Fortunately Varsha Adalja and Aruna Dhere are both familiar with Mumbai and Mumbai traffic and came on time.
The evening's programme was compeered by Maitreyi Yajnik who was doing it for us for the first time but she did a thorough job of it and managed to pronounce all the Tamil names as if she knew Tamil! The acceptance speeches were inspiring and dealt with many different aspects of literature. S Thenmozhi spoke about how and why she writes and about women writers, especially Dalit women writers, evolving a language of their own and why it was important to make this a universal language. Ba Venkaetasan was of the opinion that awards alone would not do and that organisations like SPARROW must also translate the writers they award. It is a tall order considering he writes novels of thousand pages but well taken. S Senthilkumar's acceptance speech was a story by itself. He spoke about Bodinayakkanur passenger train that brought cardamom bags to Mumbai at one time and gave a picturesque description of his town and its gods and how humans become gods and become part of his stories. Aruna Dhere spoke about her writing and what it means to her and why it is important to write if one wants to change the society and also keep what is precious in our culture. Varsha Adalja spoke just two lines accepting the award as she was keen to give more time for the evening's music performance.
The evening's programme ended with Mandar Katti enthralling us with Puriya Kalyan played on his sitar. He was ably accompanied on the tabla by young Shreeraj Tamhankar. Sharmila Sontakke had organised the evening's music programme. Manik Sonkar saw to the projection arrangements and also took the responsibility of receiving and dropping S Senthilkumar at the airport. Asmita Deshpande took charge of exhibiting the books of the authors and SPARROW and other similar arrangements. Priya D'souza was, as always, the official photographer of the event. Pradeep Surve saw to it that we got enough cups of tea and all of us ate enough and more of the snacks.
As we gathered later to have tea and snacks we shared stories and joked and laughed and took photographs. Thus ended another wonderful Literary Award event.

Lakshmi M is an activist who has been associated with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Thamizh Thesiya Periyakkam (Tamil Nationalist Movement) and various women’s struggles. She is currently the Central committee member of the women’s wing of Thamizh Theesiya Periyakkam. Her autobiographical work Latchumi Ennum Payani is a truthful account of her life and that of women around her both in the movement and outside it. In appreciation of writing a genuine document which draws attention to the lives of women in politics and their attitude towards family, marriage, motherhood and relationships with other women, SPARROW has great pleasure in giving her the SPARROW Literary Award 2017.
Stalin Rajangam has brought a new perspective to socio-historical research done so far on Dalit history. His painstaking research to reveal biases in writing history and to find hidden historical truths has brought contemporary relevance to Dalit history. By bringing to the public sphere the rare lives and experiences of those who are lost in the annals of history, he has done the important and much needed work of documenting not only the life stories of Dalit personalities but also that of those who have fought for the rights of the Dalit community. For his untiring and meaningful work of documenting Dalit history SPARROW has great pleasure in giving Stalin Rajangam the SPARROW Literary Award 2017.
Ashalata Kamble, an activist, writer and a staunch Ambedkarite, has been working with the Dalits for the past 35 years. Her books on the history of women and her poems have been an inspiration to many young aspiring writers. Her lifelong work has been to make visible the works of women like Bahinabai and Savitribai Phule and their literary contributions which have inspired her to be a writer, teacher and also an activist. Her biography Amachi Aai on her mother is a continuation of this work and an elaboration of her efforts to redefine motherhood in the context of the lives of women of the working class and their struggles to be mothers. In appreciation of her lifelong work for the Dalit cause and her biographical work Amachi Aai published in 2010 depicting what motherhood means to a working class woman SPARROW has great pleasure in giving Ashalata Kamble the SPARROW Literary Award 2017.
With her poems, essays, stories, biography and now an autobiography Kalyani Thakur is the leading Dalit voice from West Bengal and her name stands out among the Bengali writers. Through her writings which voice the pain, suffering, oppression, struggles and achievements of the Dalit community and as editor of two magazines Neer Writupatra and Chathurtha Dunia Kalyani Thakurhas worked tirelessly to draw attention to the life experiences and history of her disadvantaged community.Her autobiography Ami Kano Charal Likhi documents the life of a Dalit woman in rural and urban Bengal and records her views on feminism in India and its stand on Dalit women and Dalit feminism. For her vigorous and tenacious work in making the Bengali Dalit voice heard and for her autobiographical work which is a historical document of her life and times SPARROW has great pleasure in giving Kalyani Thakur the SPARROW Literary Award 2017.
SPARROW Literary Award, instituted by R Thyagarajan, Founder, Shriram Group, was organised by SPARROW in collaboration with the Research Centre for Women’s Studies (RCWS) SNDT Women’s University, on 10 December 2016, at the Mini Auditorium of the Juhu Campus of the University. This year the awards were for translation from an Indian language to Tamil and for translation from a foreign language to Tamil.
Eminent Tulu writer, Dr Suneetha Shetty gave away the awards to Kulachal M Yoosuf for his translations from Malayalam to Tamil, Gowri Kirubanandan, for her translations from Telugu to Tamil. Payani (Sridharan Madhusudhanan) for his translations from Chinese to Tamil. We missed Payani (Sridharan Madhusudhanan) an Indian diplomat currently posted in Beijing, who could not attend the function. His award was sent to him later. The well attended literary evening concluded with a very enjoyable music session by Reshma Gidh. SPARROW congratulates the awardees and thanks them and Dr Suneetha Shetty for their gracious presence at the function.
The SPARROW Literary Award Event on 12th December 2015, was a warm event with friends and well-wishers who came to demonstrate their appreciation for all that we do. And to give away the awards this year we had our own Neela Bhagwat, the well-known Gwalior gharana musician, whose music has kept many of us going in the last several years of struggle and celebration.
This Literary Award has been instituted by Mr. R Thyagarajan, co-founder, Shriram Group. This year we had a few more friends who came forward to support additional expenses. SPARROW trustees Dr Divya Pandey, Dr Usha Thakkar and friend and supporter from the US, Aravindan Kannaiyan and our well-wishers from Chennai, Bharathi Chandru and Chandru contributed to the event. The panel of juries this year were the same as last year: Publisher of the literary magazine Kalachuvadu, Mr. Kannan Sundaram, poet and editor of Kalachuvadu, Mr. N Sukumaran, and Dr C S Lakshmi (Ambai). The event was held in collaboration with the Research Centre for Women's Studies, SNDT University.
The awardees this year are writers we admire a great deal.
Anandh is a psychotherapist and is a writer whose poetry has inspired many and whose poetry has given a new dimension to contemporary Tamil poetry.
Anar, comes from the Eastern province of Sri Lanka and writes about what it is to be a Muslim woman in a war-torn country and her poetry is about how a language can alter life.
Vimmi Sadarangani is one of us and we tend to take her for granted but we also know about the great work she is doing as a writer and lover of Sindhi language and we respect and love her for that. She is a poet who keeps Sindhi language alive and whom Sindhi poetry has kept alive.
The acceptance speeches of all the three writers traced their writing careers and spoke about how close poetry was to their everyday life and its happenings. Awards have come their way but much more than that, poetry has kept them going through the highs and lows of life.
SPARROW had arranged for them to stay at a service apartment and the writers and their partners Sashi Anand and Mohammed Azeem and Vimmi's sister Bharti had enough time and space to interact. Vimmi, as usual, took over the task of taking them around and Bharti was clicking away with her mobile phone almost every occasion and every movement of all of them. They enjoyed a film together and got introduced to pav bhaji, chole bhature, sev puri, kesar falooda and the famous sev barfi of Chandru's. Unfortunately they went to the Versova beach in the morning when the slum colony there uses it as an open air toilet! Other than that they had lot of fun.
On 27 December, 2014 we started Literary Award event to become an annual event of SPARROW. SPARROW Literary Award was instituted by R Thyagarajan of Shriram Groups. The jury members were Ambai, N Sukumaran and Kannan Sundaram.
Su Thamizhselvi, K N Senthil and Meghana Pethe honoured us by accepting the 2014 SPARROW Literary Award. Well-known writer, Shanta Gokhale, gave away the awards and spoke warmly about her relationship with SPARROW.
In her acceptance speech, Su Thamizhselvi introduced herself as a young scion who has come in the tradition of women writers like Avvaiyar, Velliveethiyar, Vennikuyathiyar, Nachellaiyar, Karaikal Ammayar and Andal. She spoke about the rural background she comes from and how it has made her familiar with the pain, poverty and hard work that is part of a woman's life. "As a woman, I can clearly feel the pain experienced by women. As someone who has held in her palms the tears of women, I am sensitive enough to understand the intensity and heat of those tears," she said. Describing her literary journey as one involving "search, reaching and perplexity," she said that the award and the occasion will remain one of the greatest moments of her life.
In his acceptance speech, K N Senthil remembered with warmth Sundara Ramasamy and N Sukumaran, two writers he considers his teachers. Speaking of writing and the award, he said, "Writing is made possible through continuous practice but it is a bird that does not obey its master. It wants to measure the entire sky with its small wings…. I believe that the reward of writing is reaching somewhere. An award is its recognised form. There are many new generation writers in Tamil who are working hard and are leaving their imprints on literature. I am happy to receive this award as one of them, on their behalf."
In her acceptance speech Meghana Pethe said that she was happy to receive the SPARROW award because she was the first recipient of this award. She added that the joy of receiving the award was "almost equivalent to being the first love of a worthy lover" and that the "honour of being the first has a sanctity which holds good even today, although some other sanctities have been rightly questioned and declared debatable as of now by women all over the world." She spoke of writing being a lonely and painful journey and how often the process of writing is excruciatingly boring. Accepting an award from a panel of writers, she said, made the award all the more valuable. She ended by saying that this award would prove to be a trigger for her second cycle as a writer which was "likely to commence anytime now." | 2019-04-26T05:37:08 | http://sparrowonline.org/literary-award.html | [

This is matured in a single Sherry cask with the cask number #4583. Only 730 bottles were made. Very soft in the smell. Sweet dried fruits with a layer of vanilla in the background. Fruitcake with hints of oak.
The oak comes more forward in the taste. Not dominating, but in harmony with the sweet dried fruits. Dates, caramel and dried apricots. The finish is long, sweet and flavourful. Again, the vanilla comes in mixing the dried fruits.
I could get used to this! It has loads of flavours, but is still very mild and smooth. The age has really made it elegant. Give it some time in the glass, and it will get even more elegant, without the flavours dying out. I will give this 91/100 (22/23/23/23). | 2019-04-22T15:57:52 | http://thewhiskyviking.blogspot.com/2018/12/macduff-26-yo-19912017-chieftains-46.html | [

DALLAS—Seven Colombian orphans will make the trip of a lifetime as they travel to Dallas for a three-week visit with American host families this December.
The Angels from Abroad program provides older children a chance to learn about American culture, share their Colombian culture, and experience living in a family. It also helps raise awareness about the need for adopting older children and children who are part of a sibling group, said Denise Schoborg, director of Dillon International’s Colombia program.
“Every night in Colombia, approximately 60,000 children in the care of the country’s child protection system fall asleep uncertain of what the future holds for their lives. Sadly, adoption for most of these children will never come true in their birth country where the majority of adoptions involve young, healthy children,” Schoborg said.
The children who will be visiting through the Angels from Abroad program are ages 8 to 15, and include a sibling group of two and a sibling group of three children.
Host families are still needed for the program. Interested families can attend free meetings May 30 and June 10 at the Dillon International office/Buckner Children and Family Services Campus in Dallas.
WHEN: Thursday, May 30 from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. and Monday, June 10 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
RSVP: To attend, families can contact Program Coordinator Anyra Cano at anyra@dillonadopt.com.
Dillon International is headquartered in Tulsa, Okla., and affiliated with Dallas-based Buckner International. Founded in 1972, the licensed, non-profit agency offers adoption services in Colombia, China, Korea, Haiti, India, Hong Kong and Ghana, with programs in Ethiopia and Honduras available through its affiliation with Buckner. | 2019-04-21T09:18:54 | https://www.buckner.org/blog/host-families-needed-for-colombian-angels/ | [

CodePlex provides a basic web service to add releases to an existing project. I wrote a quick module around using these web services to create releases and upload files to that release. This module itself is available as a CodePlex Project — PSCodePlex. You can download release 0.1 here.
This module is a simple one. It has only two functions.
Add-Release function can be used to create a CodePlex release. The following list describes the input parameters to it.
pName Project Name of your CodePlex project. This is a mandatory parameter.
rName Release Name of the new release you are creating under the specified project. This is a mandatory paramter.
status Status of the new release. Possible values are “Planning”, “Alpha”, “Beta”, “Stable”. This is a mandatory parameter.
Apart from the above parameters, this function uses current date as the release date. Here is how you use this function.
This function returns the release ID of the newly created CodePlex release.
Upload-Release function can be used to upload files to a CodePlex release. The following list describes the input parameters to it.
UserName Username to access your CodePlex project. This is a mandatory parameter.
Password Password to access your CodePlex Project. This is a mandatory parameter.
rFolderPath Path to all the files in your release. This function — at present — assumes that there are only files at this folder path and adds all the files to release. This is a mandatory parameter.
rType Specifies the type of release. Possible values are “RuntimeBinary”, “SourceCode”, “Documentation”, “Example”. This is a mandatory paramater.
Unfortunately, these are the only two methods available as a part of CodePlex webservices API. I am planning on integrating Mercurial version control which was recently enabled on CodePlex with these functions. So, stay tuned. | 2019-04-24T01:50:36 | https://www.ravichaganti.com/blog/programming-codeplex-release-web-service-in-powershell/ | [

Getting a college education can provide you more income, greater opportunities, marketable skills and more, but finding the time to work, spend time with family and friends, and attend school can often be difficult. Successfully doing so is one of life’s biggest balancing acts, but it can also be extremely rewarding. Completing graduation has become a rather controversial issue over the past few years, due largely in part to the rising costs of higher education. More and more students are graduating with degrees and debt from student loans, only to discover that there’s no work for them in the struggling world economy. So is putting all the time and effort into a degree really worth it? Well, it is a statistical fact that college grads make more money over the course of their lives, so if money is a big motivator for you, then yes, it's definitely worth it – even if you have to work it around your busy schedule. Here are six ways to earn a degree around your schedule that you can start on today.
Twenty-one states now allow students to earn their bachelor’s at a junior college. Three years of study comprise general and major requirements at the community colleges. The fourth year, instructors from partner universities come across there to teach courses required for the major. This is a good option as they generally tend to have a higher selection of night-time classes, as well as classes at other times of the day when private universities may not want to teach. Also, it holds a huge advantage of being much cheaper than private universities.
Degree-by-examination is gutsy, but flexible and doable. Study guides or life experiences can prepare you for obtaining credit/units by passing exams for different subject areas. Over 1,900 universities grant academic credit based on obtaining passing scores on the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST). All this really entails is taking the time to go to a school and take a test. If you pass, you receive credit for the course and therefore credit towards your college. Testing out of classes and receiving credit is by far the fastest way to graduate, and it can noticeably speed up the process of getting that ever-important diploma.
Students enrolled into online bachelor's degree programs can receive/submit assignments; have group discussions, communicate with their instructor, and more, all in the comfort of their home, office or even at the beach.
Many schools offer online bachelor’s programs in popular majors, such as nursing, criminal justice and elementary education. Taking a summer course with a flex schedule of a four-seven week timeline is an option in disciplines such as the Utah State online bachelor’s programs.
College credit for job related experience or training; volunteer service; travel; or knowledge gained through life experiences can be part of a portfolio assessment that is documented by what has been learned.
Also known as, non-traditional schools, they allow students to be in charge, making up their own certification by creating their own portfolio of experiences or learning. This type of learning can be done at the student's pace.
If your university curriculum is related to or can benefit your career experience, your employer may allow you to study during working hours.
Regardless which option you may choose as you maneuver your way around the ‘way to get a degree maze,’ it’s important to take time to reflect. Whether you're at the beginning, the middle or near the end of your journey to pursue career goals, the easiest, fastest way using the least amount of money can help you reach your destination, even sooner than you imagined. | 2019-04-24T08:41:15 | http://www.mottobiz.com/2013/10/6-ways-to-earn-a-degree.html | [

It is a pure joy and honor to be gifted the opportunity to experience the culture and beauty of another country. I had been to Mexico once before and fell in love with the people, the atmosphere and the absolute wonders of the countryside. The rainbow of colors of the plants and flowers; it’s almost too much. As if God and nature just lost control and threw it all out there without any rhyme or reason but only to see just how many colors they could create. Such vibrancy; it would be understandable were someone to say it is overwhelming. I have to admit; I was beginning to believe that our cold, upper Midwestern winters had somehow muted my sense of sight, (could it be that I’m simply getting older?) These colors are unlike anything I’ve seen before. Then again, in time and due season, I shall savor our spring flowers and take in the beauty and bold, blood red of a blooming rose or the bursts of purple, orange and yellow of a climbing clematis. And I will gaze at our St. Nicholas gardens come late summer and early autumn and marvel at the beauty of the mums and the awesome display of hues and shades and I’ll swear I’ve not seen colors such as these.
Yes: all things in due time and all things have a season. As a Church, we remain in the season of Advent. We are about to enter the fourth and final week of this holy season. This weekend we light the last of our four candles. The entire wreath will glow and the feast of the Nativity will be that much closer. This glorious and joyful scene will be played out in every church that has an Advent wreath, in every house of worship that is waiting, anticipating and expecting the joyful news. Regardless where we are; whether in the warmth of Mexico or in the chill of the Midwest, we celebrate what is just, right and good and we do so with excitement and joy.
Perhaps it is because of my Michigan upbringing that Christmas, cold and snow are synonymous. They are supposed to go together, right? Not so in the tropic: for snow there is the sand that blows at will and the cold is the ice that gently slides down the frosted glasses. Still, we — the good people in Mexico, the good people in the north and all Christians the world over — await the birth of the Lord. We anticipate with excitement and glee the bells that will ring to herald the New Born King.
I read recently a quote of the Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie, something that seemed rather well-timed and which I’d like to share with you now: “God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” Ah yes, to recall the beauty of such as a rose in the bleak, cold midwinter truly gives our hearts and souls pause for joy and peace.
Yes, the world waits. Whether in the cold of the north or the balmy breezes of the south, we all await the birth of Jesus. To celebrate the anniversary of Jesus’ entry into our world just as we have been celebrating for over 2000 years. All things in due time and in their season. | 2019-04-22T13:25:47 | https://www.onebreadonebody.org/blog/tag/father-manny-borg/ | [

A friend just passed along a you-tube video featuring the founder of your organization. As a mom who has been researching the GMO/allergy link for years, I was near tears watching. Thank you for all that you are doing to spread the word.
Our son was diagnosed with a laundry list of allergies in 1998. At that time a good friend, who happens to be an engineer/scientist, mentioned that he thought the cause could be GMO’s. At that time, I had no idea what a GMO was, but his comment set me on the path of investigating and researching the link. It’s been an infuriating and frustrating journey. So thank you for stepping out and making a stand.
We live on the East Coast – if you find that you are doing any programs/events in the Boston area, please let me know. | 2019-04-24T06:47:46 | http://www.allergykids.com/stories/i-was-near-tears/ | [

When I was 18 I moved to Glasgow. One night I saw a fox on my way back to my halls of residence and I decided to follow it. It kept pausing and looking over its shoulder at me, so I kept following it. Unfortunately I did this for so long that I got really lost and it took me ages to get home!
My dog Inca is the best at finding things. She loves tennis balls and when we’re out for a walk she always takes a tennis ball with her. But she usually finds at least one more tennis ball in a bush or at the side of a road. So sometimes she comes back from her walk with three tennis balls in her mouth! She also likes to find footballs and little teddies. She is very rough with the footballs and usually bursts them within about 2 minutes, but she is very gentle with the teddies and hugs them like a baby.

When I was seven I was totally and completely obsessed with pigs. I loved them. I collected pig ornaments. I had a shelf in my room dedicated to my love of pig related memorabilia. I loved pigs so much I decided to be a vegetarian and I began to hard sell vegetarianism onto my mum and dad… I drew pictures, made a t-shirt and had the catchy slogan ‘say no to bacon!’ … It worked! My dad became a veggie and over 20 years later he is still committed to the cause!

Jaws was my brother’s gold fish – he was ginormous. He was won at a fair and carried home as a teeny wee orange dot by our babysitter… Years later he had outgrown their tank and was adopted by us. He just kept growing and must have been like 18 or something… maybe he wasn’t a goldfish ?

A few years ago, I went to live in the far north of Sweden. It was cold and bright and exciting. One night I was driving to pick up a friend from the airport, the roads were covered in snow but I had the winter tyres on. I noticed something at the side of the road moving and slowed down slightly to have a look, as I slowed down to stop a huge Elk started to walk into the light of my headlights. There was music playing in the car and as the Elk got to centre stage it stopped and turned to look at me. It looked for a few seconds and then carried on walking to the other side of the road. It was so filmic!

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of bioactive chemical once used in industrial applications, but which now contaminate the world environment. PCBs are lipophilic with few natural degadatory mechanisms, and thus they accumulate in human and animal tissues, and are passed to subsequent generations via transfer between mother and offspring. Research has shown that PCBs can interfere with brain and sexual organ development, and adult sexual behaviors and reproduction. However, previous studies produced contradictory results based on the dose and method of administration, species, and the age at exposure. The research detailed in this thesis elucidates the effects of prenatal exposure to low levels of a commercial mixture of PCBs, Aroclor (A) 1221, on female reproductive function. The studies undertaken in this dissertation focus on three areas relevant to understanding long-term effects of PCBs on reproductive physiology in female rats: (1) developmental effects in two generations, (2) sexual behaviors in the first generation, and (3) gene expression in the first generation. In the first research section of this dissertation, the sexual and somatic development of PCB-exposed animals is investigated in first (F1) and second (F2) generation females. Dose-dependent effects are observed in both generations, and a greater number of endpoints are significantly affected in the F2, including circulating hormone levels and uterine and ovarian weight. The second research section of the dissertation explores whether sexual behaviors in the first generation of exposed animals are altered by A1221, using a paced mating paradigm designed to elucidate female-typical behaviors. Several salient behaviors are affected by PCB exposure, including likelihood to mate, mating trial pacing, and stress-related vocalizations. The third research chapter discusses the results of a genomewide microarray assay performed on the preoptic area of the brain. The preoptic area is a neuroendocrine control center implicated in regulation of reproductive physiology and behavior. Taken together, these results suggest that A1221 has long lasting and trans-generational effects on the development and behavior of exposed females, accompanied by altered gene expression in a neuroendocrine region of the brain. These findings have implications for female reproductive health and reproductive success in wildlife and humans. | 2019-04-22T00:20:24 | https://repositories.lib.utexas.edu/handle/2152/3318 | [
