Learn how to say more words in Japanese.
How do you say Busy in Japanese? Busy in Japanese is this: 忙しい (this being the kanji). This is read “isogashi,” or いそがしい for all you Japanese literate peeps.
Well the past couple of weeks have been way to busy, Aya and I have barely found the time to sit down and watch our Desperate Housewives episodes (gasp).
Kai is now officially a toddler and this is 90% of the reason why things have been so crazy. He is on the move 24/7 and at times I wonder how he did things so fast. As you will be able to see from the video, Kai is off to work to pay the bills (albeit with a briefcase full of poker chips), so you have to give him the Japanese nod…I mean bow. He is turning into a regular Japanese ninja, just like all of my teachers who somehow have the ability to disappear in the blink of an eye. Just ask any person who isn’t Japanese and they will tell you, teachers here sure know how to disappear fast. Just look at the way he vanishes on one side of the room, only to reappear in a different room.
Aya and Kai came to visit me at my school on our sports day. They got to meet the vice-principal of my school and some of the other teachers. I ran in the club sports relay race, with the teachers team, but we ended up coming in 3rd place behind the basketball and baseball teams. I was the Anchor, but couldn’t seem to catch up to the students in front of me. Maybe I should start working out again?
I am also going to post the recent pictures from the past week or two, just because you all have been so patient and not forgotten about cute little Kai. Aya got to hit up some more “Mom’s Meetings” in our local neighborhood, allowing her to meet some new Moms. She also has started going to an international Mom’s Meeting, where they have to use English for the whole time. I guess a lot of the mothers who attend are already pretty “pera, pera” (fluent), but Aya seems to love it because all the babies are half Japanese just like Kai-man. It really helps her because she doesn’t have to answer the barrage of questions about foreign culture, etc. etc.. But when she does go, she needs to introduce something about American culture (with respect to babies) to the rest of the group. We were thinking Paddy-Cake, cause who doesn’t love that song. Now if I could only get the words right…Baker’s Man? Does anyone know the correct wording to this tune?? Help will be much appreciated.
Speaking of getting fluent (no no, I am a lonnnng ways from that, but I did get a Nintendo DS recently to which I say, anyone who has this wonderful piece of gaming hardware, can play me in Mario Kart from across the world, right on their little DS. I bought the DS so I could study Japanese, and it already has improved my reading and writing from these past couple of days. I got a game which quizzes me on the Kanji and all the various readings, writings, stroke orders, etc. End Tangent). So yeah getting fluent is one more thing Kai has taken up as of late. I don’t really have a video or sound track of him talking yet, but when I get the time to compile some clips of his voice together I will post it. I think he might be right on the verge of understanding Dada and Mama, two things he says a lot. One thing he definitely does understand is NO! He has known that word for a while now, but it doesn’t mean he is going to listen all the time.
He also loves to play this game where he gets a toy, or a piece of food, and then offers it up to us. We always say “thank you,” and then he just laughs and does it again, and again. It is ridiculously cute, but the funny thing is now he thinks “thank you,” means “please give me that.” So when we say thank you now, he sometimes stops what he is doing and tries to hand us whatever he is holding.
Kai-chan is also getting very good at saying something to the extent of, “Diss.” If he is trying to say “This”, or if it’s, “DESU” (the Japanese “be”verb which is used all the time), the jury has yet to make a decision on that one. I personally think this sound will end up being DESU, which wouldn’t be all that surprising seeing as how he probably hears Japanese 80% of the time. In all honesty it would be better for him to learn Japanese first, cause he might not have the chance to learn it later on in life. I will just be really jealous if Aya is able to talk with him, while I have to sit on the sidelines and look things up in a dictionary.
I think that about wraps it up; I told you we were busy. I hope everyone is doing well, I feel like I haven’t been in touch with anyone for way to long. If you all are not to busy, drop me a message and let me know how things have been in your neck of the woods. We think about everyone often and would love to hear how life has been.
P.S. Say can you remember, dancing in September?

You are stupid. It’s isogashii to “i”s dummy that or you take the “i” off of the hiragana.
Em: it should be “なたのあかちゃんはかわいいです。” When used as a particle, ‘wa’ is spelled ‘ha’ though still read as ‘wa’.
Brandon, quit being a holier than thou weeaboo. She made a mistake. So what.
Yes, I completely agree with “Someone”.
Brandon doesn’t even know how to punctuate or the difference between “two” and “to” (and probably also “too”), so he shouldn’t be correcting anybody about anything. | 2019-04-26T16:48:18 | https://kaimm.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/busy-busy-in-japanese/ |
Forgiveness is perhaps one of the hardest parts of any relationship. Do you remember what it was like on the playground in elementary school? Whether it was getting “accidentally” hit with a stick or being picked last for the kickball team, an argument would start and the teacher would come over to investigate the situation, determine the victim and posit the idea of forgiveness. If you were the one with the hurt arm or ego, the forgiveness portion could be difficult, especially with everyone watching; but you had to because it was the ‘right’ thing to do.
But the truth of it is: you don’t have to forgive. In fact many many relationships have shriveled because of an untouched issue. I can think of several off the top of my head and a few even in my own life. Usually they’re over menial issues, sometimes grave ones.
Forgiveness is less a societal norm than people think. It’s an action that requires a lot of thought and is a deliberate choice.
Unlike the situation on the playground, real-world forgiveness is likely not over something as obvious as a mis-thrown stick. It’s likely not as simple as saying “I’m sorry” and (very) likely not under the pressure of the small microscope of elementary school children on a playground. In the real-world it’s a very active task, one that requires you to go out of your way (and sometimes WAY out of your way) and effectively communicate to a person or people you may not want to communicate to.
But, nonetheless, in order to begin the healthiest year possible, it’s important to at least think about the ways we’ve been hurt and how to move towards them in a peaceful manner.
Question 1: Who do you need to forgive?
Question 2: Is there a situation in which you felt wronged by a group of people?
Sometimes we don’t feel ready to forgive – it can be a very hard choice. But here are a few things to consider.
Forgiving does not mean forgetting. We don’t have an magical erase button – I wish we did.
Forgiving does not mean we have to let someone do something to us again to us. Sometimes we need to put up boundaries to protect ourselves from situations or people.
and ready to forgive again if something new takes place.
Forgiving is choosing to love.
If God didn’t design is to carry unforgiveness then we are designed to forgive and empowered by God with the ability to forgive.
Question 3: What would it take to begin the process of reconciliation?
Moving forward means letting others off the hook, forgiving, and choosing love instead.
Last question: as you’ve taken time and considered who you need to forgive, who is the first one on your list — what would it take to begin tomorrow? By starting tomorrow you’ll have an awesome start on January 1, 2015 and leaving something else behind in 2014! | 2019-04-20T00:30:42 | https://epiclifecreative.com/forgive-choosing-love/ |
I've looked at the BoosterPack checker -- what a nice tool! Question 1: Is this the best place to get this kind of buying support? I can't find anything. Sorry. Question 2: The TI BoosterPack checker lists the ORBIT BoosterPack for Tiva C Series Launchpad but non of the launch pads are compatible! (even the EK-TM4C123GXL Tiva™ C Series LaunchPad Evaluation Kit from TI). Both are products listed on the Digilent site, but the TI checker shows them as incompatible. How do I find a Launchpad that works with the ORBIT BoosterPack? Question 3: May I please ask what it means when Compatability is YES but "with warnings"? Example: Ek-TM4C123GXL plus Educational BoosterPack MKII are fully compatible (with 0 warnings) but I cannot add wi-fi (nor stepper) because the wi-fi booster packs are incompatible But if instead, I try the LaunchXL-CC1310 (so I have wifi by default) with the Education BoosterPack MKII, it says it IS Compatible but there are 5 warnings Pin 17 (LCD,RST), Pin 31 (LCD, RS Pin), Pin 32 and 33 (Button 1 & 2, I/O) and Pin 32 (Gator Hole). Do that mean the the Launch XL will be wi-fi connected and will be able to use all the stuff on the Educational Booster Pack except for the LCD and the Buttons? (Perhaps not the tradeoff I'm looking for, but just so that I understand what a warning is). Thank you very much.
I am preparing to purchase equipment for a student lab and am heading towards the SimpleLink MSP432 Launchpad (to have wiFi integrated and avoid a wifi boosterpack). To make the lab interesting the EDU Booster pack looks good (switches, joystick, light/temperature, LCD, servo motor controller) but this course traditionally also makes use of stepper motors and keypad, so that leads me to to think that I want to buy the Launchpad plus 3 boosterpacks: EDU + stepper + keypad. Can I use 3 boosterpacks on a single launchpad (all at one time)? Thanks. | 2019-04-20T18:39:19 | https://forum.43oh.com/profile/58078-cschramm/ |

So exciting news!! I was able to finish reading the book of mormon last week on like wednesday and have started reading the book of mormon again and also i have started to read the Doctrine and covenants for my first time!! It was really shocking to me how wicked and evil the lords chosen people got over time. Like i was to the point of being confused because they believed in Christ for three hundred plus years, Then they let a little pride creep in and it totally overthrew their entire civilization. Its probably a reminder to us in these days that if we are wicked then they Lord will either humble us through his almighty power or he will send something our way to utterly destroy us off the face of the land. I dont want either of these things to happen to me so ill keep the commandments. Haha its sad how simple they are to keep, once you are committed, yet there are people in the world who take the ten commandements as the ten creative suggestions. Again, truly saddening.
In reading the book of mormon again ive decided to mark everything that has to pertain to any of the three figures in the godhead. Its actually started to open my eyes to how much The B.O.M. talks about God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. I was reading in a student manual about the book of mormon and it said that there were 6.000 something verses and that it has over 3,000 references to christ! its pretty spectacular to me to hear that people claim to have read the B.O.M. and say that it says nothing about Christ and that we as a church are non-christian. If people would only open their eyes and soften their hearts they would see on the Very cover of the book the words Jesus Christ. Its craziness.
My companion and i had a pretty good week. It rained quite a bit again, but im actually starting to love it. Like it gets hot in the afternoon and then around three or four the rain clouds come in and start to pour. It doesn’t rain very much until the evening time, but the lightning and thunder are sometimes pretty terrifying. Thats one thing i absolutely love is seeing the lightning strikes even though they get pretty close and very loud.
Also yesterday I was able to stand in the circle to confirm the investigator whom we baptized last week. It was truly a great experience being able to feel the spirit and to know that this young man is well on his way to becoming a very strong and steadfast member in the ward. Hes even been able to bring his non member mother to church two weeks in a row! I was able to ask her the question if this meant that she was coming forever and she said “yes!” Its a very wonderful thing to view when you can start to see the changes that someone is making in their life. And its even better if Someone that they love has already given them the initial push into studying the gospel. We told him a few weeks ago that since he was getting baptized ahead of his mom, he could receive the priesthood and then baptize his mother! Haha he told us “Oh man… she would love that way too much!” Haha it was pretty great.
Also ive been told to ask at what time you want me to make the call home. They want to start making a schedule for all the elders phone calls home but i think ive neglected to ask in previous emails. Please correlate with the whole family because i would like to be able to see and talk with everyone who is available. So yeah!! PLease just let me know and then i can let the couples know.
Well… i just want to say that i love you all very much and am looking forward to the call home. I hope you all have a good week!! | 2019-04-26T03:58:19 | https://eldersethpayne.wordpress.com/2014/12/20/this-week-7/ |
This week we're excited to be joined by Tyler Curtis, who we've been looking forward to chatting with for a while now! We talked with him about 1.1.11, a "last of the New Year's run" show, which has a fantastic high-energy first set. The second set is one of those gems that flows and brings better and better jams as it develops. Great one to revisit.
This week we're going to release our intro conversation and Set 1 of 1.1.11, and release Set 2 and that discussion next week. Another attempt to mix things up and make things better.
Please continue to send us feedback about this experiment and let us know what you think. | 2019-04-25T06:15:19 | http://www.hfpod.com/2015/02/episode-52-guest-pick-tyler-curtis.html |

In early 2013 urban planners AG stadsplanning organised a competition to carry out the complete design assignment and related services as part of the development of the Groot Schijn Park in Antwerp. BUUR-HOSPER-BULK – in cooperation with ARA – combined forces for this.
The assignment includes the development of the rooms for the sports pitches (football and korfball), including the path structure and the design of a club room. The level of ambition for the development of the landscape park is high. The Ruggeveld-Boterlaar-Silzburg master plan forms the reference framework for this.
The design proposal focuses on the joints and rooms within the master plan. The joints are the functional carriers, the outlines along which the spatial planning and imagination takes place and the most constant factor in the park. Within this framework activities can be entered that may be variable over time. Secondly the structure is the image carrier. The structure and the image of the joints therefore play a great part in the experience of the park. The sports activities again form the rooms, hollowed out empty spaces between the joints. The rooms are given their own scale and architectural dimension. A multitude of trunks with high crowns create green frameworks.
The east-west route in the extension of the park Rivierenhof forms the backbone of the complex. A hierarchy is introduced, in which the secondary path network runs in a zigzag. Entrance plazas open up the park programmes and the club rooms.
The concept of the central plaza is adapted to form a green park plaza; a sunken field gives the place the necessary centrality and theatricality without disturbing the image of the joints. In winter the ‘bowl’ becomes an ice rink. The park plaza works on different levels of scale: it seeks to connect both the ‘urban’ joints and the ‘rural’ cluster of the farm Master Schmidt. | 2019-04-25T14:44:32 | https://worldlandscapearchitect.com/park-groot-schjin-antwerp-belgium-buur-hosper-bulk/ |

FOURSQUARE OFTEN GETS dismissed by pundits who think it's just a silly game. When that happens, I think those critics have never seen the in-app Foursquare community.
I first realised Foursquare could provide me more than a cute little badge when I rolled over in a Portland Hotel because of some loud music outside. I happened to glance at Foursquare and it told me the name of the place. In fact, the club was trending on Foursquare at the time. And inside venue on Foursquare I found dozens of in-app comments, tips and sometimes personal remarks that showed me the Foursquare app was connecting people with people often as much as it was connecting people with venues. That's happening here in Ireland as well.
I think it's remarkable that a small company like Foursquare can continue iterating, carving out a location-based system that holds true to the spirit that Dennis Crowley set out several years ago. Perhaps Crowley knew how reliable the GPS sensors would be on today's mobile phone handsets. Those sensors tie right into Foursquare's geolocation platform. They ensure places can be specifically identified and the Foursquare app helps people connect with place as a means of establishing an identity online. And that is why Foursquare is so successful. People want to be identified with place. People want to share expertise about places or about products and service at places. Foursquare facilitates this in a very elegant way.
I COULD EASILY make a five-minute video of food I miss from Amish country where I grew up. I plan to do that sometime to offer a way to rewind with comfort food like Hammond's pretzels, Utz potato chips, Tastykakes, Lebanon bologna, oyster stew, soft shell crab sandwiches, pretzel ice cream cones and crispy baked corn. In the meantime, I have only one snapshot of pretzels to share over-the-air using my time-worn Nokia E90 connected to AT&T mail2blog Typepad services in Pine View Acres. After I upload the shot, we're headed to Darrenkamp's to forage for more essential food.
WHILE AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND, I followed Gina Trapani's advice and fired up Foursquare when 150 km from home. It told me a lot things I knew and laid out the names of shops that I'd spent good money in before. But the orange highlight that caught my eye came from the D Hotel, offering coffee for its mayor (at right). I'm far from being a mayor, although I think I put that venue on Foursquare's map. Whatever--I ended up in the foyer of the D Hotel, read a paper for free and bought a pot of coffee for a light breakfast. Then I started tweeting about coffee along the Irish motorway and got a few suggestions worth road-testing on Foursquare an hour south of Drogheda.
Sent mail2blog using my Nokia E90 and O2-3G Typepad service in Scotch Hall, Drogheda, Ireland. | 2019-04-25T13:02:15 | https://www.insideview.ie/food_and_drink/page/2/ |

When it comes to Streaming media content, everybody is in on the action. There are stand alone devices like the ones shown above, there are DVD/Blu-ray players that incorporate Streaming, Smart TV's have streaming built in and you can even get Thumb Drive Streamers that simply plug into a spare HDMI connection on the back of your non-smart HD TV.
So which one to get? The thing that bugs me the most is that the menu for all these streaming methods are different and some, not in a good way. From my experience the menu system that is packaged with many DVD/Blu-Ray players are frustrating. The ones built into many smart TVs are no better. Personally, I would never buy a smart TV just because it has Streaming built in, in fact, I would NOT buy it BECAUSE it HAS Streaming built in. The same goes for DVD/Blu Ray Players. There are some exceptions.
I would save my money and buy a High Quality NON-Smart TV and a NON-Streaming DVD/Blu-Ray Player. I would then buy an Apple TV or ROKU 3 or Amazon Fire TV stand alone device. I personally use the ROKU 3. The menu system on these devices run great and so easy to use. The best part, they are all under $100. Then you simply subscribe to any services you want and you are up and running. Today, most new 2017 Smart TVs incorporate Good Steamers, like ROKU Premier, into their sets. So if you only use the TV that's fine, but if you use your TV with a Home Theater of any size its best to keep all components separate.
Streaming 4K is a bit more complicated: see the 4K tab at the top of this page. | 2019-04-24T02:53:42 | http://www.videosense.biz/streaming.html |

Among quite possibly the most prevalent electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a swap. While utilizing switches in the home is sort of straightforward, wiring a person might not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You'll find several types of switches, but for this instance, let's say you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, a very popular swap (along with the simplest).
You'll find 3 shades of wires inside of a normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and join them to the terminal screws - a single on best along with the other about the base screw in the change. The white wire serves as a supply of uninterrupted energy and is generally linked to the light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the green wire to the ground screw within your change.
These ways would normally be ample for making a typical change operate without having a difficulty. On the other hand, when you usually are not confident that you simply can attain the undertaking effectively and securely you improved allow the professionals get it done rather. Just after all, there's a motive why this task is among the most commonly encountered electrical wiring issues questioned by plenty of people.
For some purpose, how to wire a ceiling fan is additionally certainly one of probably the most prevalent electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this process, you may use just one switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it can be simply a issue of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan into the black wire with the switch. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire should be linked to your black wire from the change in addition.

E. E. Cummings’ profound simplicity speaks to the heart of elemental music, and his expressive typography is a joy to share with upper elementary and middle school students who may connect with Cummings’ creative uses of punctuation, grammar and syntax.
This activity offers and entry point with a piece inspired by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman’s Music for Children, poetry by E. E. Cummings, and the nonfiction text enormous SMALLNESS ~ A Story of E. E. Cummings. Teachers are encouraged to use these ideas as an entry point to sing, say, dance, and play, as well as a springboard for movement, improvisation, composition, research and interdisciplinary connections with upper elementary and/or middle school students.
E. E. Cummings has long been a favorite poet of mine. When I noticed the book enormous SMALLNESS ~ A Story of E. E. Cummings by Matthew Burgess, illustrations by Kris Di Giacomo on display in my school library, I was immediately compelled to share it with my students.
Beginning with a short melody and ostinato idea played on xylophone, this foray into E. E. Cummings life and works germinated into a multi-dimensional experience for upper elementary/middle school students.
i: a 4/4 starting point for learning about E. E. Cummings, paired with an inspiring quote of E.E.’s and one of his favorite words – yes!
Reflecting on Cummings’daily habit of writing a poem every day from the age of 8 to 22, my students added the part for hand drum, kept a steady beat on a cowbell, and played finger cymbals on the rest after stopped.
*What could the form be?
Should we have an introduction?
Could we add a B Section?
Could we incorporate body percussion? More instruments? Movement?
Working in an elemental way, teachers can guide students from one simple idea to an increasingly complex network of ideas. Making choices about these ideas usually results in a musically satisfying arrangement, accessible to students of varying skill levels with truly limitless possibilities.
Children enter our classrooms with a natural curiosity, and as elemental-inspired educators, we should seek every opportunity to build upon the inquisitive nature of students, to guide them to learn about the world in playful and joyful ways, make connections that last beyond the constructs of the class period, and facilitate learning across all content areas.
In this lesson, E. E. Cummings is the model, and the initiating elements were a simple melody and ostinato with text inspired by his life and words. An exploration of E. E. Cummings’ poetry provided a content-rich environment where students are encouraged to mine for ideas (elements) that provide meaning for them. E. E. Cummings provides both model and inspiration with simple structures through an artistically crafted approach.
4 Patchin Place. E. E. Cummings’ home for 40 years.
It may help to show your students a glimpse of his home at 4 Patchin Place in lower Manhattan. This was E. E. Cummings home for over 40 years.
While E. E. Cummings utilized lower case letters in his works, he never intended for his own name to forego capitalization; you can read more about that here.
“How did E. E. use repetition in his work?” becomes “How could we use repetition in a musical context?
There is a freedom in facilitating learning for students using an elemental approach. It provides a direct route to the hearts and minds of students, affirms their values, and serves as the media for creation within a context. The challenge can be to structure this in a manageable way to preserve standards of classroom behavior. Building a community of learners who respect this process takes time and yet might actually be the fastest way to facilitate high standards of respect in general. In striving to share peaceful, fruitful collaborations that promote classroom cohesion, we fulfill goals far beyond music and movement objectives.
There is a freedom in facilitating learning for students using an elemental approach.
Aside from, and more pronounced than the benefits of such an approach regarding classroom behavior expectations is the way that work like this resonates over time with students. Vividly remembering what they are creating, being able to carry it with them and recall with no “review” is a regular occurrence. When music and movement ideas are awakened in learners through the elemental approach, the resonance within them is almost everlasting! The power of experiences like these can be life-changing, and eternal!
Poetryfoundation.org is an excellent resource to find poems to share with your students, and May is Get Caught Reading Month, but any time is a perfect time to share literacy connections with our students.
I hope this lesson idea provides inspiration for your own teaching, and an opportunity to open the eyes and ears of all who pass through your classroom to the vast, joyful, connected world that surrounds us, allowing your students to connect to the world, to themselves, and to the future, in a way that is true to the creative spirit of both E. E. Cummings and elemental music and movement. I would love to hear the ways your students rearrange the ideas, ad libitum, to blossom into a creation of their own. Have fun exploring the possibilities, and please share!

The American Center for Elemental Music and Movement has deep pedagogical roots in Orff Schulwerk. We continue to honor this approach and firmly believe that elemental music and movement is very inclusive of many other approaches to active music making and responding to music.
We are very excited and grateful that our friends at Teaching with Orff are helping ACEMM to grow by sharing our Spotlight Corner Lesson Resources with their enthusiastic followers. We hope this partnership is one in a succession of many more that we will continue to forge as our organization grows. | 2019-04-26T00:31:34 | https://acemm.us/2017/05/bringing-e-e-cummings-to-life-through-elemental-music-and-movement/ |
It seems many people believe a request for Freedom of Information needs to be filed in order to get any information from the Town Hall.
It’s not the case. In public service, information is currency.
Probably 99% is a matter of public record. If a request involves preparation and copying documents, there has to be a fee. If you want town staff to do research and prepare documents, you need to pay for that service.
The Aurora Library has records. The town’s web site also. Public meetings are all recorded. Agendas and minutes are available. About everything you always wanted to know about the Town Hall is on the web site.
Traditionally, the town clerk’s office provides information. If an inquiry needs to be directed to a particular department, they will steer it accordingly. People who work in the public service, generally like what they do. They are inclined to do it well.
E-mails generally get a prompt response. The Mayor’s Office and Councillors are also a resource. It’s an important part of our function.
Last term, we talked about streaming council meetings. It would have meant you could log in to council meetings at will. We had the technology. We needed extra hands. They were not provided.
Having to file an application for Freedom of Information should be a last resort.
If you were asking for a list of all recorded votes in the past three years and it required 84 pages of print and numerous man- hours to compile, that would cost you a tidy sum. But if you thought it would prove something and really wanted it, you could do the work yourself from records available.
Personally I found the report too tedious to read let alone research. One thing it revealed was a frightening lack of knowledge among people who should know the purpose of a recorded vote.
The only significant item I have had trouble obtaining, was my last request for legal expenditures of the previous two and a half years.
The first time I asked the cost of Mr. Rust D’Eye’s service. It took a little while to compile but a figure of $16,200 was provided by the treasurer without demur. The Mayor later stated Mr. Rust D’Eye had written or helped to write the Code of Conduct. That came after I received the figure mentioned. Obviously, there was an additional fee for that service.
Next time I asked, I received a sheaf of invoices for three months service. It was never at any time suggested information about legal costs were not my right to receive. Quite the opposite in fact.
I think we may take that as example of the “change” referred to by the Mayor in her New Year’s message.
A citizen’s group filed a request under Freedom of Information for details of legal expenditures. The time frame of the request is not known.
Solicitors present invoices according to their own schedule. Whether information was up to date at the time of the citizen group’s request I cannot say. Although there was an apparent discrepancy between a previous report and the information provided in response to the FOI request.
Providing information freely and without equivocation tells a story.
Refusal to provide it tells another. Both are a revelation.

Kittens are the most cute and adorable creatures on this earth. They look so innocent that you instantly fall in love with them. Like in the picture above, the photographer has done an amazing work capturing how cuteness and innocence are showering themselves on them. Kittens are very friendly creatures, but mean as well. They grow quickly, learn quickly and are eager to discover the world that lay in front of them. While playing and socializing they look bold, but in reality they are vulnerable to their surroundings; therefore, they look for dark places to hide, and keep themselves safe. | 2019-04-20T00:32:38 | http://skiddnet.com/picture/kitten?page=18 |
By Sri Bhagavan’s abundant Grace much progress has been made in the Sri Sadisvara Mandiram over the past 5 months. Below are images of the progress. Enjoy!
The lower tier is complete and a red sealant has now been painted onto it to protect the wood from moisture and the top tier framing has been secured to the lower tier.
Siva secures the top tier planks to its framing with screws.
Once the planks have been secured and cut to proper size more red sealant is applied.
Janani paints red sealant while Raman secures the planks with extra screws.
The two tier platform is now ready to be covered in marble tile.
The marble is carefully chosen for the top tier so that the pattern in the tile blends nicely.
Meanwhile, Scott uses the bottom tier as a work surface cutting out the arches with plywood . . .
. . . and secures them into the framework above the platform.
Watching Scott work from the Inner Shrine room.
Next, Raman places spacers between the two pieces of plywood upon which a screen will be placed. Once the screen is placed on the arch it is ready to mud.
Next, Scott screws the sheetrock onto the plywood.
Here, Ganesh adheres the screen material to the arch. . .
. . . while Nome observes.
Then, mud is applied to the screening material.
Scott and Sangeeta apply mud to the sheetrock.
A special substance is sprayed onto the mudded sheetrock to give it a nice texture.
Here Scott and Raman prepare the floor for the marble by sanding it smooth….dusty job!
Meanwhile, Sangeeta and Siva mud the temporary wooden pillars.
Prema sands the very edges of the floor where the large sander can not reach.
Once the mud is dry, Ganesh sands it smooth.
Scaffolding is set up to complete the painting of the high walls.
Siva hands Scott and Raman pieces of scaffolding as they build it higher and higher.
The highest point over 20 feet.
The scaffolding provides a very nice view into the Inner Shrine.
Anandhi and Sangeeta begin painting the floor with red sealant.
While painting is being done above, Siva and Sangeeta paint below.
How elegant it looks with the white ceiling and walls and blue arches.
After the red sealant on the floor is dry, Sangeeta and Ribhu choose tiles that are similar to one another to be placed together on the floor.
Ribhu sweeps the floor making sure it is nice and clean for the tiles.
Now it is time to adhere the tiles to the floor. Scott, Sangeeta and Jayalakshmi use a substance called thinset to “glue” the tiles to the floor and then spacers are placed between the tiles for proper distance.
A view from the Inner Shrine shows the floor coming together very nicely.
The thinset must be even and level. Dhanya points out an area that needs smoothing out.
While the floor tiles are being placed, Jayalakshmi and Myra adhere the base tile to the wall.
Once the whole tiles are placed, Scott cuts all the odd shaped tiles.
Once all the tile is in place and the thinset is dry, Eric, Tim, and Raman remove the spacers between the tiles and clean out the space preparing for grout.
Jaylakshmi and Gnana begin grouting.
After the grout is placed between the tiles the excess grout must be washed away. Here Sangeeta washes the tiles making the floor nice and clean.
Although more must be done to complete the floor we are still able to use the Mandir for meditation during the March retreat. A temporary Ramana altar is placed on the top tier that will eventually hold the Siva lingam.
Scott adheres a decorative wooden baseboard on top of the tile baseboard giving a more finished look. Sangeeta caulks the gaps making it nice and clean.
The next step is grinding the edges of the tile on the tiers making them nice and smooth. Here Siva grinds the tile with a wet grinder while Tim vacuums up the water.
While wet grinding is going on, Scott begins construction of the Siva Lingam altar.
Ribhu and Sangeeta begin assessing the tiles to be used on the Siva Lingam altar choosing just the right ones.
More wet grinding. . .
The Siva Lingam altar is almost ready for tile.
Still, more wet grinding . . . Nandi’s altar is seen in the background already in place.
While Ganesh wet grinds you can see that the Siva Lingam altar has been painted with red sealant and tiles are going on.
The Siva Lingam altar is complete and ready for Siva! Thick black tape has been placed on the edges to protect the altar while the Siva Lingam is being placed upon it.
Next . . . installation of the Siva Lingam and Murtis. | 2019-04-24T04:47:17 | https://satramana.wordpress.com/2014/05/28/sri-sadisvara-mandiram-part-8-phase-iii-construction/ |
MSI packages broken and fail to install!
Custom action added to quit if a repair action is detected. Previous versions would wipe out a registry key during repair that prevented the MSI from being uninstalled.
Launch condition added to prevent older version of an MSI being installed over a newer one.
Platform no longer set to x64 on packages created with the 64-bit sequencer. No big deal, just that these packages take longer to fall over as they fail to install rather than get blocked at the very beginning.
Custom action modified to automatically import DynamicConfig.xml file.
Custom actions broken so that MSI will now only install/uninstall from an elevated session!
Reverted to 5.0 SP2 format!
Current implementation is broken as packages created on 32-bit look under the 32-bit registry area on a 64-bit machine and fail to detect the App-V client.
However (at the time of writing) this does not work by simply following the steps listed, so here are the additional steps required!
You need to install the Windows 7 SDK, as the msidb.exe tool it relies upon was deprecated since the Windows 8 release. You just need the Tools feature under Windows Native Code Development.
I have updated my MST to fix all of the known issues and bring back the 5.0 SP3 functionality. By creating a base MSI with all of the issues it was possible to create a transform that will apply to all versions; the one exception being to fix the MSIs created by the Windows 10 v1607 x86 sequencer (you cannot add a row and modify the same row within the same transform). There is also a script to apply the changes directly to an MSI, or even a whole folder full of them, so that you don’t have to rely upon the MST being set up correctly during deployment.
Fix-AppvMsiPackage.mst – This contains the bulk of the fixes.
Fix-AppvMsiPackage_1607x86.mst – This contains just the small change necessary to allow Windows 10 v1607 x86 MSIs to install on x64 clients.
Fix-AppvMsiPackage.ps1 – A Powershell script to apply the transforms directly to an MSI.
Fix-AppvMsiPackage.cmd – A helper script companion to the .ps1 file to allow drag and drop operation.
WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.dll – Dependency of the Powershell script.
Base.msi – The base MSI used to create the MST file. If you wish to modify the MST yourself, you should do so against this package otherwise you may lose elements of the transform upon save.
Packages can now install with the App-V client built into Windows 10 v1607.
You can now install packages just by double clicking on them as UAC elevation now works properly.
You can also uninstall and repair from Add/Remove Programs. Repairing will now add / publish the package if it was removed, and will repair extensions to bring back deleted shortcuts etc.
The ‘change’ option has been removed from Add/Remove Programs, since they have no features to select.
Packages now have an App-V icon in Add/Remove Programs, making it easy to tell which apps are virtualised.
Packages are prevented from installing over a new version.
If you forget to supply this, it will ask for it. If a folder is given, the script will recursively search for all MSIs within, so take care. Any existing MSI will be backed up with the .bak extension (and it will not overwrite these .bak files if it is re-run).
The dependency WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.dll needs to be located in the same folder as the script. This library is pinched from WiX, and I must give credit to Laurie Rhodes here for helping me get on the bandwagon with this one. Seriously, if you are interested in writing Powershell scripts that interact with Windows Installer, and Heath Stewart’s Powershell Module doesn’t have you covered, using this library is a hell of a lot easier than using the COM interface!
To make your life easier, simply drag and drop your MSI or folder on top of the Fix-AppvMsiPackage.cmd file. As long as the .ps1 and .dll are in the same location, will process whatever you drop onto it!
This way, any packages you create with the sequencer will have the fixes built in already!
This goes without saying, but this is all provided on a use-at-your-own-risk basis. But if you have any issues, comment below and I’ll do my best to fix them.
Failed to publish the package due to the following error: Windows Powershell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by a policy defined at a more specfic scope. Due to the override, your shell will retain its current effective execution policy of Unrestricted.
This is a benign warning since policy has set the system to Unrestricted, but the installer is treating it as a fatal error. This would require Microsoft to modify the custom action dlls to fix this, unless I bin them all and replace them with Powershell commands. This isn’t a road I’m going to go down, but if this is a show stopper for you, get in touch!
Unable to find type [WixToolset.Dtf.WindowsInstaller.DatabaseOpenMode].
Hi, first of all, try and simply unzip the contents and then drag and drop your MSI onto the Fix-AppvMsiPackage.cmd file. If that works, perhaps you had a file missing or there was something else different about the way that you ran the script. | 2019-04-24T19:59:40 | http://packageology.com/2016/08/fix-app-v-sequencer-generated-msi-packages/?replytocom=31667 |
U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Open Government Beth Noveck chaired a session at a day-long Washington workshop last week on Law.gov, a national effort to make all primary U.S. legal documents available for free online.
U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Open Government Beth Noveck chaired a session at a day-long Washington workshop last week on Law.gov, a national effort to make all primary U.S. legal documents available for free online. The June 18 workshop, sponsored by the Center for American Progress (CAP) and reflecting much of the progress already made through the Obama Administration’s Open Government initiative, emphasized the importance of easing access to legal documents across all three branches of government to increase transparency and accountability and to encourage innovative uses of this trove of information.
Workshop participants noted that there is great demand for primary legal records, including SEC filings and appeals court rulings, but that page charges and other “paywall” barriers limit access to these documents. Moreover, said Stanford Deputy Law Librarian Erika Wayne, efforts to inventory legal information and compile records online are often frustrated because the documents have disclaimers attached, are incomplete, or have not been updated with final text. The value of these documents could be greatly enhanced, added OMB General Counsel Preeta Bansal, if more of them were hyperlinked to one another, to show more clearly the full path of a case.
In her presentation, Noveck highlighted the Administration’s Open Government initiative and, as an example of its potential power, described last year’s successful effort to make the Federal Register available in XML, a “liberating” flexible text format that has facilitated people’s efforts to use Federal legal data in new and innovative ways. Office of the Federal Register director Ray Mosley noted that a new and even easier-to-use version of the XML Federal Register will be released in July. And the founders of several innovative websites—GovPulse.US (which makes Federal Register information more available to the public); FedThread.org (which allows users to annotate the Federal Register); and Oregonlaws.org (which gives users easier access to Oregon legal information) all emphasized how quickly and easily they were able to set up new, innovative frameworks for customers once the relevant data were made public.
Others echoed the idea that, rather than posing a threat to private interests, the free release of data offers new economic opportunities. LexisNexis representative Mike Walsh emphasized, for example, that his company’s main source of profit was the value it added to legal information through editing and linking cases to other cases. Representatives from two other legal information concerns—Justia and Fastcase—concurred that accessible data are best seen as a resource ripe for value-added innovation.
Happily, said Tim O’Reilly, CEO of O’Reilly Media, those who are working to make more data available to the public don’t have to devise highly complicated systems to do so. The best data platforms are fundamentally simple, he said, and encourage innovation through their open—and in many cases open-source—design. More information about Law.gov can be found here, and more information about the CAP workshop, including video from the event, is here. | 2019-04-23T22:52:39 | https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2010/06/22/its-not-just-law-its-lawgov |

I know, I know, we didn't post any charming pictures of P-rock blowing out two tiny little candles and then getting chocolate icing all over his face. We actually had to cancel his birthday party cause of general sickness in the Kirby household. All three of us were sick last week, off and on, and we had to cancel the much-anticipated National Pig's Day/P-rock's Second Birthday Bash.
He's also figured out that yelling "I'm a PEST!" when he's being bad is really funny. Thank you Dada, for teaching him that one. And thanks to Oscar the Grouch's A-Z Grumpster's Dictionary, he figured out that "nuisance" is another word for pest, so the other day at Nonni and Poppi's house, he started yelling: "I'm a NUISANCE!"
I can't wait till he learns how to read for himself. He'll be twice as charming then. | 2019-04-24T14:22:04 | http://rockycito.blogspot.com/2008/03/ |
Koh Lipe island is a small resort in the very south of Thailand not in the Andaman Sea. It's the only island in the Butang Archipelago with people living there. Koh Lipe was discovered by tourists in the early 90s but only recently has its popularity really increased.
I have visited Koh Lipe IsIand and can safely say that it is beautiful. And it is a resort that is well worth visiting. If you are taking a holiday in Thailand, make sure you consider visiting Koh Lipe. If you decided to go there, great! You will have a great time.
In summary, visiting Koh Lipe is cheapest in the low season. High season is hotter, but busier and more expenisve. Hotels go up in price - and beach front rooms are very expenisve in high season.
However, in high season there are more activities available to do in the day. More places are open and there are full programs of snorkeling and diving trips available.
The nightlife is a lot livelier in high season. Twice as many bars, shops and restaurants are open. But it takes longer to get served and it's much busier.
Visit my site PackThailand.com for IN-DEPTH guide to everything Koh Lipe has to offer including pictures, videos, articles and more!
The biggest test of how nice a holiday destination is 'Would you go back?' For Koh Lipe, the answer is a resounding YES. It is simply beautiful and a perfect holiday.
Choosing to visit Koh Lipe in high season or low season all comes down to personal preferences. The high season is busier, there are more activities available to do, and the nightlife is more vibrant. Plus, the weather is hotter and dryer.
If you're the person who likes quiet beaches and seclusion, then low season is better. There are very few people on the island, about 50% of all the bars, restaurants and shops are closed, and it's really peaceful and romantic on the beaches. Yes, there's a greater chance of rain. But visit in the early part of low season and it should still be hot with plenty of sun. I was there in mid June for a week and it only rained a couple of times at night.
Would you like to visit Koh Lipe?
It's possible to get from Bangkok to Koh Lipe in under a day.
Leave Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport on an early flight no later than 10AM. This will arrive at Hat Yai International Airport at around 11.30AM.
Take a mini van direct to Pak Barra Pier and arrive there aroun 2pm.
Take the last speedboat over to Koh Lipe around 3pm and arrive on the island between 4pm and 5pm.
Some airline providers also include a mini van and ferry boat transfer service. This make organising travel a lot easier. There's less change of getting lost or missing connecting transport if it is planned out by the airline.
Personally I don't like to rush. So I would recommend staying for one night in Hat Yai and taking a boat the next day after feeling more refreshed.
It's also possible to reach Koh Lipe from Phuket or Krabi. There's are nicer places to stay for a night or two. However, the ferry ride from Phuket to Koh Lipe is five hours. While s ferry from Krabi to Koh Lipe is four hours.
Hotels on Koh Lipe are expenisve in high season. But in low season they are much less - maybe a third of the price. The general rule of thumb is this - the nearer the hotel room is to the beach, the more expensive they are.
Some beach-front bungalows even in low season are 5,000 baht ($130 a night) or even more. While in high season the price will double or even triple.
Firstly, choose a hotel resort according to your budget. Get the best room possible for what you can afford.
Secondly, decide whether you would like to stay on Pattaya Beach, Sunrise Beach or Sunset Beach. Pattaya Beach is the most popular beach on Koh Lipe, it is big, wide and great for sunbathing and swimming. Plus, accommodation on Pattaya Beach is a good price. (My personal recommendation is Bundhaya Resort).
Sunrise Beach does not have as many hotels, but the beach is narrower and a bit quieter. Hotels on Sunrise beach are more expensive, and include some luxury premium accommodation like Idyllic Concept Resort and Serendipity Resort.
Sunset Beach is not so popular. The accommodation and hotels here are older, and more basic wooden style bungalows.
There are also guest houses inside the island without beach views. These are found along Walking Street and they are the cheapest on Koh Lipe - perfect for backpackers and people on a budget.
Thirdly, choose whether you would like a traditional wooden bungalow or concrete accommodation. On Pattaya Beach, Akira Lipe Resort is modern. But Bundhaya Villas and Resort are also a modern, clean design.
Some people say that it is easier for bugs and mosquitoes to get inside the wooden bungalows. There may be some truth in this. But if you get to Koh Lipe, you will get bitten at some point by mosquitoes regardless of where you stay.
Take a snorkeling day trip: The boats will travel to neighboring islands. These are simply breathtaking and a great chance to get off and have a look around these uninhabited paradises. Plus the clear waters of Koh Lipe are sublime. You don't even need to be able to swim to enjoy snorkeling, as life jackets are provided.
Cycle around the island: Hire a bicycle and pedal around Koh Lipe's narrow paths. This is a great chance to make your own mini-sightseeing tour of Koh Lipe. You can see the native homes as well as all three beaches. And get a feel for the whole island and where things are located.
Chill out with a Thai massage on the beach: There are few things more relaxing in Thailand than having a traditional Thai oil massage. And what better way to do it than on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world? Exactly. The views of the Andaman sea look even better when you're being massaged.
Hire a kayak and paddle round the island: Koh Lipe is such a small island that it's possible to actually paddle around it yourself. Just hire a Kayak for two or three hours and set sail. The waters are so calm that you don't even have to be very experience. Plus, put a picnic in the kayak and stop off at one of the nearby deserted islands for your own lunch.
There's no doubt about it - Koh Lipe's nightlife is really unique. It's such a small island with so much crammed into a tiny space. This makes for a great carnival atmosphere. There are loads of great bohemian style bars. And some good restaurants, too.
Much of the nightlife is actually closed in low season. However, this is perfect for people who like peace and quiet. In high season the party atmosphere is better and there is live music, but it also takes longer to get served food. And it's a lot busier and more hectic on the island.

When considering Long-Term Care insurance planning you should consider meeting with a professional planner. At Zettergren Financial Group, we help many families plan financially for this cost that we consider to be one of the highest financial risks to a family's assets.
Reimbursement long term care insurance policies are the most common type of policies sold. They pay the exact expenses up to your daily, weekly or monthly benefit amount. Depending on your policy, the insurer may directly pay the bill or you may have to pay first and then be paid by the insurer. If there is a remainder, that money is kept in the pool to make your benefits last longer.
You have a monthly benefit amount of $4500 and your facility bill is $3800. Your insurer will pay the $3800 bill and the remaining $700 will be left in your benefit amount pool.
You have a monthly benefit amount of $4500 and your facility bill is $4700. Your insurer will pay up to your benefit amount ($4500) the remaining $200 is your responsibility to pay.
In an Indemnity Long Term Care insurance policy you receive your complete benefit amount, regardless of the bill. Because of this, these types of policies are overall more expensive than reimbursement policies.
You have a daily benefit amount of $200 and your facility bill is $170. You will receive the full $200 and can keep the remainder ($30).
You have a daily benefit amount of $200 and your facility bill is $250. Your insurer will receive the full daily benefit amount of $200 from your insurer and you will be responsible to pay the remaining $50.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 70 percent of people over the age of 65 will need some type of long-term care services and support during their lifetime.
The average Long-Term Care claim is a little over 3 years according to the LTC industry.
Long-term care insurance (LTC or LTCI), an insurance product sold in the United States, it helps provide for the cost of long-term care beyond a predetermined period. Long-term care insurance covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
A growing trend in the Long-term care insurance industry are Asset Based Long-term care insurance policies. These products -- called asset-based, combination or linked policies -- typically require one lump-sum premium payment, usually of $100,000 or more. They provide long-term care benefits for a certain number of years, a death benefit if you don't use long-term care and a money-back option that returns the premium in case you decide you don't want the policy after all.
What if I never need it?
What if I get into this policy and it isn't really for me?
Today's low-interest rate environment might be fueling some of the demand. Consumers can't earn much on cash they're reserving for emergencies, so they figure they might as well put it into an insurance policy that can provide long-term care benefits worth several times more than the original investment. Or, at the very least, it can provide money to heirs if they never need long-term care.
Another growing trend that in today’s Long-term care insurance industry is Life Insurance with Long Term Care or Chronic Illness Riders. These products have become hugely popular because many consumers are reluctant to buy long-term care insurance because they fear that their investment will be wasted if they do not use it. Some insurance companies have attempted to solve this problem by combining life insurance with long-term care insurance. The idea is that policy benefits will always be paid, in one form or another. These products are relatively new and the features are changing as the product evolves.
The amount of the long-term care benefit is often expressed in terms of a percentage of the life insurance benefit. Most policies that cover long-term care services, the monthly benefit you can use is typically equal to two percent of the life insurance policy’s face value.
Another positive for these new policies is that the premium is guaranteed to never increase. Many consumers are growing tired of their Long-term care insurance increasing just as their medical insurance has increased year over year.
One drawback to these policies is that the benefit is locked in, therefore there is no inflation protection.
Be sure to ask your advisor the difference between Long Term Care and Chronic Illness (ABR) riders. | 2019-04-20T00:48:26 | http://www.zettergrenfinancial.com/p/long-term-care-insurance-planning |

A little over a month ago I saw an article on Slashdot about cheap and capable Realtek RTL2832U software defined radio dongle. It was under 20$, so I ordered it on impulse. It took a while, but finally it arrived!
I hope I can start scanning radio waves for interesting radio trasmissions. It should work with GNU Radio. I’m not yet sure which tuner chip it uses, but most likely it’s Rafael Micro R820T. | 2019-04-26T09:51:45 | https://www.oboroc.com/posts/2016/03/05/cheap-sdr-dongle/ |

On the fourth day of July following, a party of about two hundred Indians attacked Boonsborough, killed one man, and wounded two.
A zeal for the defence of their country led these heroes to the scene of action, though with a few men to attack a powerful army of experienced warriors.
All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
Curiosity is natural to the soul of man and interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections.
During our travels, the Indians entertained me well; and their affection for me was so great, that they utterly refused to leave me there with the others, although the Governor offered them one hundred pounds sterling for me, on purpose to give me a parole to go home.
Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatever state he is.
I was happy in the midst of dangers and inconveniences.
In such a diversity it was impossible I should be disposed to melancholy.
In the decline of the day, near Kentucky river, as we ascended the brow of a small hill, a number of Indians rushed out of a thick cane-brake upon us, and made us prisoners.
In this time the enemy began to undermine our fort, which was situated sixty yards from Kentucky River.
Let peace, descending from her native heaven, bid her olives spring amidst the joyful nations; and plenty, in league with commerce, scatter blessings from her copious hand!
May the same Almighty Goodness banish the accursed monster, war, from all lands, with her hated associates, rapine and insatiable ambition!
Most of the memorable events I have myself been exercised in; and, for the satisfaction of the public, will briefly relate the circumstances of my adventures, and scenes of life, from my first movement to this country until this day.
One day I undertook a tour through the country, and the diversity and beauties of nature I met with in this charming season, expelled every gloomy and vexatious thought.
Soon after, I returned home to my family, with a determination to bring them as soon as possible to live in Kentucky, which I esteemed a second paradise, at the risk of my life and fortune.
We were then in a dangerous, helpless situation, exposed daily to perils and death amongst savages and wild beasts, not a white man in the country but ourselves. | 2019-04-23T10:57:22 | https://findsgood.com/on-the-fourth-day-of-july-following-a-party-of-about-two-hundred-indians-attacked-boonsborough-killed-one-man-and-wounded-two/ |

During the day and at night, people living near river communities face the threat of two neglected tropical diseases. Photo: PATH/Wendy Stone.
Game-changing new tools address two of the nastiest neglected tropical diseases.
The blackflies near the river can be something fierce. They are predators whose bites sting. The people in this part of Africa know them all too well. So each day they try their best to avoid the flies as they wait for them to retreat with the sun.
But as night falls, a new menace appears in the skies: the mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes and blackflies are a double threat in these river communities across Africa and other parts of the world. But worse yet are the parasites they carry.
Both Dorothy Kabasimwe and Johnson Bakehahwenki have contracted river blindness and experienced skin irritations. As a result, Dorothy has some vision impairment. Photo: PATH/Lesley Reed.
During the day, a bite from an infected blackfly can transmit parasites that cause onchocerciasis (river blindness), which leads to itching and skin disfigurations, and can induce permanent blindness. At night, the bite of an infected mosquito can transmit parasites that spread lymphatic filariasis (LF). A major cause of elephantiasis, LF is a condition resulting in serious disfigurement and disability.
An estimated 120 million people worldwide are infected with LF, and 37 million have river blindness in Africa. Millions of people living on the African continent are at risk of one or both of these neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). As a group of illnesses, NTDs cause great suffering, adding to a cycle of illness and poverty that disproportionately impacts poor, rural communities across Africa and many remote areas of the world.
A health worker sits inside a tent during trials for the SD BIOLINE Onchocerciasis IgG4 rapid test preproduction prototype for diagnosing onchocerciasis (river blindness). Photo: PATH/Dunia Faulx.
The combination of controlling the insects that spread these diseases and mass drug administration (MDA) has been effective at eliminating river blindness and LF parasites from infected communities. This requires persistence, vigilance, and treating the communities annually for years. Communities must be tested regularly to determine when the parasites are no longer a threat. And although multiple rounds of MDA for both river blindness and LF can effectively control parasite levels, if interventions are reduced or stopped before the right time, the diseases can bounce back. This poses a threat to efforts to eliminate both diseases.
Up until now, two separate tests have been used to determine if a person is infected with the parasites that cause LF or river blindness, but they’ve had their drawbacks.
In the case of LF, because the parasites are active in the bloodstream, blood had to be drawn at night by community health workers. And before the Ov16 rapid diagnostic test was developed, people had to undergo an unpleasant process called a skin snip to diagnose river blindness.
The new tests will join the SD BIOLINE Onchocerciasis IgG4 rapid test, a monoplex antibody-detection test for river blindness. Photo: PATH/Will Boase.
To address these challenges PATH and Standard Diagnostics (SD)/Alere, a global leader in rapid diagnostics, worked together to develop two new highly sensitive rapid diagnostic tests for both river blindness and LF. These tests are a continuation of PATH’s work to advance new diagnostics to support elimination of NTDs. The antigens used in the new tests were identified and characterized by scientists at the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.
The new SD BIOLINE Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic Filariasis IgG4 biplex rapid test can be used for combined surveillance in coendemic areas of both diseases. Photo: PATH/A. Golden.
The first is a river blindness and LF dual-detection, or “biplex” test, based on the detection of antibodies to parasite antigens for both diseases. It’s designed to fill the gaps in surveillance data for control programs in Africa where both diseases occur. The intent is to provide a new tool to programs monitoring areas that once had these diseases and detecting cases in areas with low prevalence.
The new LF monoplex test the SD BIOLINE Lymphatic Filariasis IgG4 rapid test, is based on the detection of antibodies to Wb123 for LF alone. Photo: PATH/A. Golden.
The second is a LF monoplex test that can be used in endemic areas where MDA has been ongoing. Here, antibody-detection tests provide important information about recent transmission rates. Data can then be used to make critical decisions about MDA.
So those blackflies and mosquitoes better be on the lookout.
The World Health Organization has targeted LF for global elimination and river blindness for elimination in select countries in Africa by 2020. At PATH, we’re working with our partners in the NTD community to develop tools that will help make that a reality for the people affected by these diseases.
Funding for the development of the onchocerciasis and LF biplex and LF monoplex tests was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. | 2019-04-21T06:08:09 | https://path.org/articles/fighting-disease-fear-and-fatigue/ |
We provide a comprehensive, holistic model of support for BME women, children and young survivors of domestic and sexual violence. We offer culturally and linguistically diverse advice, information and advocacy through case work; group support for women (Saheli) and children (Simba) as well as therapeutic care, parenting support, recovery training, group activities and counselling for women and children.
Given that domestic violence is one of the most significant issues that impacts on women’s social and economic situations, it is not surprising that this is an area of work that we have been consistently involved in. Staff and Management have wide-ranging knowledge and extensive experience of violence and abuse in cross-cultural contexts and developing services for BME women survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.
The Angelou Centre provides a range of holistic, complimentary, culturally and linguistically competent wrap-around advice, advocacy, counselling and support services to enhance lives (survival), safety and development of BAME survivors of domestic violence. This ‘wrap around’ support that is survivor led and has been developed in partnership with a wide range of relevant statutory and voluntary agencies also addresses related problems of homelessness, poverty, mental health, insecure immigration status and empowers women and children to rebuild their lives free from violence and abuse.
The Issues that we work with include: FGM, Forced Marriage, so called ‘honour based violence’, Sexual Abuse and Exploitation, Domestic Violence Domestic Slavery/Servitude, the impact of interfamily (sometimes called cousin or kinship marriage)/community control and monitoring of behaviour, life skills, parenting outside the extended family.
The Angelou Centre’s domestic and sexual abuse services are informed and developed by BME women survivors. From this work the first UK BME women’s survivors charter has been developed to help better inform statutory services and services that support BME women and to ensure that BME women’s voices remain central to the development and deployment of domestic and sexual services.
If you need help, support or advice please contact 0191 226 0394, or go here to find out more.
Our team of highly experienced IDVAs, Child and Adult Psychotherapists and specialist advocates recognise the need for a holistic approach to the women and their children who are attempting to break free of violence and abuse and the often very strong cultural and family ties. We offer in- depth work of a holistic nature based on a personal plan, tailor made to the individual woman and/or her children.

The 70-year-old owner of the first North Fork winery died when the SUV he was driving was involved in a head-on crash with a truck in Wading River on Monday afternoon.
Riverhead Town Police said Maro Borghese was driving his Jeep Grand Cherokee eastbound on Route 25A when he failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway and collided with a westbound box truck at 3:33 p.m.
Borghese was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The victim is the owner of Castello di Borghese Vineyard in Cutchogue, the first winery to open on the East End more than 40 years ago, paving the way for more than 100 others that make up the North Fork Wine Trail today. He bought it in 1999.
His passing came days after his 56-year-old wife, Ann Marie Borghese, also died.
Riverhead town police are continuing the investigation into the cause of the crash with the assistance of New York State police. | 2019-04-26T12:11:13 | https://www.longislandpress.com/2014/07/01/borghese-winery-owner-dies-in-crash/ |
It's baseball playoff season, which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. I really don't like feeling out of the loop because I read the Internet quite a bit and like to feel "in the know." At the risk of further annoying my esteemed colleagues, I'll admit that baseball comes across my consciousness about 50 seconds per year. I simply prefer watching other professional sports, but I also know and respect that Bobby is following his beloved Rangers right now.
That said, I will read the stories that go above and beyond the usual game story, but few sports reporters seem to know how to execute a religion angle in a compelling way. For instance, the coverage of Josh Hamilton's faith has been gone in waves, it seems. His faith came up yet again when a man fell to his death this summer trying to catch a ball at a game in front of his six-year-old son. His son threw the first pitch at a Rangers' game, where Hamilton met and talked with his mother.
In what appeared to be a short period of time, Hamilton later revealed an interesting conversation. “I asked her if they were believers in Christ,” Hamilton said. “She said they were. I said, ‘Well, we know where your husband is right now and make sure that the little one knows who is daddy was and what he stood for. Make sure he understands that.’” Yes, it's Josh Hamilton, but I was a little surprised that he would get in a conversation about heaven in such a short period of time and that he revealed those specifics.
Many athletes talk about their faith after winning a game or praying before a game, but few reporters seem to look for ways the athletes "show not tell" about their faith. There are also some tough questions journalists could pose to Hamilton, like how God has a plan for everything in the middle of a tragic death.
Even non-baseball fans can connect with these kinds of stories. Religion is one way sports reporters can make their stories resonate with more than just fans of a sport or team.
I talk about this and more (hint: some more about the personal faith of journalists while they cover religion) in GetReligion's most recent podcast. Tell us: What kinds of religion details do you look for in sports stories? Are there questions you think reporters could explore specific to athletes? | 2019-04-23T10:14:01 | https://www.getreligion.org/getreligion/2011/10/pod-people-beyond-baseball/ |
What is Lifemel honey? What is its connection to life?
If linden honey is good for something, and acacia honey is good for something else, and echinacea honey is good for other something, how about if we would have a perfect honey, made from he most amazing flowers on this planet?
Well, some people did thought of this and created a special place where they cultivated selected herbs, away from any reach of pesticides and pollution. And then brought a lot of hives filled with healthy working bees, ready to produce the best honey. And in addition, fed the bees with enriched food, including iron, protein and vitamins.
Of course there is no such thing as the best honey, but considering the specific medicinal plants they cultivate there, the way bees are fed and taken care, it results a very good honey with high therapeutic properties.
Those smart people are from Kiryat Shmona, Israel, and they created this honey at Zuf Globus Laboratories Ltd, after thirty years’ research. The honey they created is very good for preventing and treating the side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation suffered by cancer patients, and thus tremendously improving their quality of life.
Lifemel honey contains medicinal herbs, such as: Siberian Ginseng, Echinacea, Uncaria and other plants, as well as natural bio-active materials, such as: iron, protein, enzymes and vitamins, which are needed for regularization of the immune system. The active ingredients in LifeMel are absorbed directly in the blood; they stimulate blood-cell production, increase the quantity of platelets and raise the level of hemoglobin. With the exception of preparing the bee-feed mixture, collecting the medicinal honey from the hive and packaging, there is no human contact in the production process, and no ingredients are added to LifeMel after the extraction of honey from the hive.
The Chemical Analysis of the LifeMel reveals the following substances: Terpenoids,Eicosane, Fatty acids, 4-methyl cinnamic acid, Chlorophylls, Carotenoids, Fl6vonoids, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Zinc, Copper.
One single small study was conducted in 2005, by Professor Jamal Ziden, head of the Oncology department in Sieff Hospital, Dr. Moshe Stein, Oncology department Rambam Hospital, and Professor Eitan Friedman of Sheba Medical Center.
Name of the trial: Lifemel Honey During Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer Patients to Prevent Leucopenia The study included 60 patients, older than 18 years old, with early breast cancer, who were receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with AC (adriamycin- cyclophosphamide) or CAF (adriamycin- cyclophosphamide- 5- fluorouracil) combinations. Every day these patients received one spoon of Lifemel honey or regular honey (double blind)- during the adjuvant chemotherapy.
Every week a WBC count was performed in order to record the influence of Lifemel on myelotoxicity.
Life Mel Honey was effective in decreasing the incidence of anemia in 64% of the patients, decreasing the incidence of severe neutropenia and lowering the incidence of potentially fatal thrombocytopenia (low platelets). Medical Oncology, vol. 23, no. 4, 549-552, 2006. The results were conclusive: LifeMel is effective and safe and showed improvement in general feeling and quality of life. According to lifemelusa.com.
Followig the same idea, feeding the bees with other specific plants, known to treat certain conditions, the company sells other types of honey like: RelaxMel, GastroMel, LadyMel, LadyMel Night, EnergyMel, BronchoMel, LaryngoMel.
Two teaspoons of Life Mel honey a day, one in the morning on an empty stomach and one in the evening. The honey should be sucked slowly.
• on Amazon, at a more reasonable price, here: 3 Packs Lifemel Chemo Support Unique Honey Support of Patients Suffering From the Side Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation Treatment.
While it is a very expensive product, 120 g of honey costs approx. $80 on lifemelusa.com, when our life is at stake, we realize money in itself is not that important.
Nevertheless there have been reported a lot of bad reviews, people were not that satisfied with the results. But as usual, there were also very good reviews, as there are these ones, here.
The scientific research available was done in 2005, only on female, over 18, all with breast cancer in phase 2, all taking certain chemo, and good results were in 64% of the patients. Since 2005, chemo has changed a lot. And there are also a lot of other cancer types which were not verified.
Yet, if there is a slight chance to improve the life of our loved ones, let’s give it a try. I know I would.
Hi I bought this for my dad after his first chemo put him in hospital, his second treatment still put him lifeless on the couch feeling weak ,so a week before his third chemo I started him on his honey he had his chemo and has been amazing pottering in his garden and just generally feeling amazing so going to visit him now is like going to visit my dad and not a stranger, it’s a small jar that lasts between 12/14 days priced at 37.50 a jar but It has been worth every penny to see my dad like this coz when he is feeling good so are we I highly recommend this product. | 2019-04-26T16:37:50 | https://healthywithhoney.com/lifemel-honey/ |

West's senior point guard leader was critical in wins over then-No. 1 City High and then-No. 6 Marion last week. Against the Little Hawks, Zacharias logged a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double with her three assists. She scored six points against the Indians, but she made a significant impact with her 11 boards, four assists and two steals.
The Waukee senior came up huge in the Warriors' 66-43 win over then-No. 2 Southeast Polk, logging 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. Earlier in the week, in a 108-16 win over Des Moines Hoover, Brown scored 26 points on a sparkling 9-for-11 clip from the field, to go along with three more assists.
The state's second-leading scorer just keeps on scoring. Yoder, a senior, piled up 80 points over Iowa Mennonite's two wins last week. She scored 45 and pulled down 11 boards in a 63-61 win over Highland Riverside. Then, two days later, she recorded 35 points, seven assists and five rebounds in an 81-43 win over HLV Victor.
Hutcheson, a senior, came up big in the Lions' 66-62 win over then-No. 1 Waukee, scoring a team-high 24 points on 6-for-11 shooting. He also sunk 10 of 12 free-throw attempts. The previous day, Hutcheson also logged 19 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in a 68-63 win over Waterloo East.
Krogmann, a senior, continues to high-end production look easy, logging a double-double and a near double-double in West Delaware's two wins last week. He piled up 30 points and 16 rebounds in a 67-33 won over Solon. Then, the next day, he had 22 points and nine rebounds in a 60-35 win over Mount Vernon.
The Ames senior enjoyed prime performances in the Little Cyclones' two wins against Ankeny Centennial and Urbandale last week. Kellogg scored a team-high 22 points, to go along with his seven rebounds, in a 53-35 win over the J-Hawks on Friday. On Saturday, he added 24 more points and 10 boards in a 62-42 win over the Jaguars.

The New York Giants have been wildly disappointing this season with one notable exception. The team did put together a shockingly strong performance in upsetting the Denver Broncos in front of a national television audience, but aside from that, New York’s ugly 1-6 record is reflective of the scuffles occurring on the field.
Jenkins was joined by fellow cornerback Eli Apple and running back Paul Perkins in being absent from Monday’s first team gathering of the new week, but apparently that was foreshadowing for a game absence. It is not yet known as to why Jenkins was suspended aside from the stated reasoning, but this is added to a list of unfortunate circumstances (headlined by injuries) that have taken the Giants’ best players off the field this season.
New York is capable of threatening Los Angeles at home this week, but it will be more of an uphill battle without Jenkins. | 2019-04-26T05:50:20 | https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/janoris-jenkins-suspended-violation-team-rules-giants/ |

Martial arts instructors who are looking to improve their coaching skills have a lot to think about. What qualities and skills enable a coach to be successful? This week, we break down some of the important factors martial artists should consider, when taking their coaching skills to the next level.
Patience may be the most important trait of a successful coach. Every student learns at a different pace. Just because someone is a slow learner doesn’t mean they can’t reach a higher potential, relative to a faster learner. Without patience, frustrations can affect an instructor’s effectiveness and your student may have a hard time learning from someone who is giving off negative energy.
Taking deep breaths and reminding yourself that your job is to figure out how to most effectively convey your teachings makes it a challenge that good coaches will strive to meet. With the unique skillset and learning speed of each student, patience will help you adapt to the differences between each of them.
Trust-building is very important for instructors and students and a good coach needs to know how to make that personal connection with their students. Figure out what makes each student tick; having a genuine interest in their personal interests and learning what people in their age group are like will give you an idea of analogies and examples you can make, to help communicate your point. Once you build that trust level, your students’ willingness to learn will increase as well.
We recommend all high-level martial arts coaches take some time to study sports psychology. High performance athletes all require a great deal of mental strength that comes from proper training and mental framing. Learning about the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and how it affects short and long-term motivation is the first step in keeping motivation levels high.
A good coach needs to be knowledgeable, in order to get the most out of students. There will be always be the regular curriculum you have to teach for your particular martial art but a good coach will go above and beyond, especially for martial arts tournament competitors.
Learning about proper nutrition, good sleep habits, sports psychology, and match strategies will enable you to help your competitors perform at their very best. Planning and organization also play big roles. If you’re teaching a particular topic, you should brush up on it the day before, so you’re able to better teach the subject to your student.
Being agile is one of the most important traits for success, in today’s fast-changing environment. Especially when coaching students, various issues and obstacles may arise during training or competition. Being able to roll with the punches to keep guiding your students to success is imperative, for a good martial arts coach.
For example, if you’ve trained for a fight and are expecting an opponent who is highly technical and cautious, being able to adjust if the opponent comes out brawling will be a key for success. You can plan all you want but your strategies may go out the window, once the first strike is thrown.
For elite athletes, there are quite a number of coaches and specialists who help them succeed. World class mixed martial artists, for example, can have a sleep doctor, nutritionist, cardio coach, submissions coach, striking coach, wrestling coach, etc. This isn’t always possible when resources are limited and, for most levels of martial arts, it can be overkill. That being said, elite martial artists will want to go all the way and will require the additional investment, in order to enter the top ranks of international competition.
One example of a martial arts school that takes coaching very seriously is Life Ki-Do. Utilizing psychology, meditation, mindfulness, and a deep understanding of martial arts, Life Ki-Do focuses on life skills, as much as they do on martial arts.

According to my good friend, Wikipedia, ‘possession’ is the “paranormal, supernatural, psychological and/or superstitious spirits, gods, demons/daemons (demonic possession), animas, extraterrestrials, or other disincarnate or extraterrestrial entities taking control of a human body, resulting in noticeable changes in health and behaviour.” You can get the same result after a several shots of Tequila, but that’s another story.
I do, however, have my suspicions that ‘Sister’ writes the Queen’s Christmas speeches.
Unfortunately, early psychopathology assumed that people suffering from mental illnesses were possessed by something evil and victims were often tortured to try to drive the demon out. Alas, it would seem that such events still occur even now, despite today’s vast medical knowledge. There are documented cases where individuals have been abused and even murdered by people who believe the victim to be possessed. In 1973, Anneliese Michel, a devout Catholic from Bavaria, Germany, became convinced that she was suffering from demonic possession. Medical professionals now recognise that Anneliese was suffering from severe psychiatric disturbances. However, by 1976, even Annelise’s parents became convinced that their daughter was possessed and two priests were brought in (at Anneliese’s request) to perform a series of exorcisms over ten months. | 2019-04-26T16:57:39 | https://nicolakirk.wordpress.com/tag/catholic/ |

This Sunday we take a right turn with our book reviews and bring you a book review of The Intel Trinity by Michael Malone. While a lot of the story is lost on the millennial generation, Intel helped pioneer the silicon-based memory chips from which California’s storied Silicon Valley drew its name, then assembled the team that pretty much invented the microprocessors that enabled the creation of personal computers and the computer-driven era we live in today. So far ahead of the curve was Intel that it often had to educate its customers in how to deploy its technologies. In business, too, Intel was an innovator. It offered its users services and customization, not just off-the-shelf, mass-produced products, and understood the importance of cannibalizing its own products to adopt new technologies and create new businesses. All in, the work is worthy of consideration and any B2B founder should spend some time reading it.
We give the book a 4.5 out of 5.0. The stories are incredible and many of the lessons from the early leaders of Silicon Valley are applicable today. The coverage of Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove as a “Holy Trinity” of leadership is intense and specific. The author was granted unprecedented access to the company and the reader really benefits from that access. There were some specific B2B lessons throughout the book including how Intel thought about product development, internationalization, business development deals, and fundraising. Below were a few key takeaways from our book review of The Intel Trinity.
1. Why Do We Remember Intel? Why don’t we remember dozens of other semiconductor companies in Silicon Valley in the latter part of the 20th century? There is a lot of discussion around how incredible Intel was at three core competencies that any company can learn from. First, better engineering. The company was built by two of the three greatest technical minds of their generation and instilled an engineering first culture throughout the company. To keep up with Moore’s Law, this was absolutely necessary. Second, better marketing. Many remember “Intel Inside.” The company did an excellent job here. Third, a better ability to learn from its mistakes. This last one was key, as the company would innovate 1000+ times a year on their product, over-spend on R&D, and force a culture of innovation.
2. Creative Confrontation Can Work. The book spends a fair amount of time on Andy Grove and his relationship with Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce but also focuses on the culture that he helped build during his time at Intel. Intel was a place where undisciplined, random conversation was never the norm and almost anything anyone said could be challenged directly and aggressively by anyone in the hierarchy. Whether you were a customer, employee, business development partner, or friend anything you said could get shoved down your throat as instantly as you said it. The point was not to be nice, but to make the best products and services possible. Andy Grove really built the company that allowed for creative confrontation where ideas got better and better through dispute and discussion.
3. Everyone Starts Small. When Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore left Fairchild Semiconductor, they turned to their friend Arthur Rock to help them raise capital for Intel. In 1969, Arthur Rock went around the country with five hundred thousand shares valued at $5 a piece. The round of $2.5MM was done via convertible debt and included six of the eight members of the “Traitorous Eight,” Hayden, Stone (original investors in Fairchild), Max Palevsky, Fayez Sarofim, Paul Cook, Gerald Currie, Grinnell College, and the Rockefeller Investment Group. Founder Robert Noyce put $300k of his own money into the business. All this to say that the company spent a lot of time building a syndicate of small angel investors and VCs. Everyone starts small.
There are a lot of great anecdotes in the book including the relationship between Steve Jobs and Robert Noyce as well as the early beginnings of Bill Gates and Paul Allen in the context of the Intel/IBM relationship. The work is a great history lesson for aspiring entrepreneurs or industry insiders.

The 1950 Red River Flood was a devastating flood that took place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on May 8, 1950. In that year, the Red River flooded the Red River Valley. Winnipeg was ill prepared for such a huge swell of water. Eight dikes gave way and flooded much of the city. Four of eleven bridges were destroyed and nearly 70,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes and businesses. There was one fatality on May 6, 1950, when Lawson Ogg was trapped in a basement where he was fixing a pump when waters rushed through the door of the house and filled the basement. The final tally in damage was over $600 million. The Red River Floodway was later constructed to divert some of the water of the Red River around the city and lower water levels within Winnipeg.
The shaded area on the map shows the extent of the flooding of the Red River and its tributaries. At the peak of the flood more than 550 square miles in the Red River Valley from Emerson to 60 miles north to Greater Winnipeg were flooded. The depth of the flood waters on the farmland was between 2 to 6 feet. The black line is the normal channel of the Red River.

Following widespread consultation with developers, self-lay companies and their representative organisations, water companies have introduced a new set of standards for the provision of water and sewerage infrastructure for new homes and other construction projects.
These are a development of draft standards originally published as part of the government guide Better Connected: A practical guide to utilities for home builders.
The standards cover the performance of water companies in dealing with a broad range of activities which are essential for housing development. They include responding to initial enquiries, providing designs and quotations, construction and connection, and dealing with legal agreements.
Work on the standards has been coordinated through Water UK, and the performance of its members will be updated quarterly and published on the Water UK website from July 2015.
�Water companies are playing their part in helping to speed up the building of new homes that the country needs so urgently. | 2019-04-18T22:25:37 | http://www.wateractive.co.uk/news/water_companies_confirm_adoption_of_standards_to_speed_up_the_building_of_new_homes |

The top ten winners of the Zambia Agribusiness Bootcamp have been announced. The top 10 were announced at the final and pitch event of the Agribusiness Bootcamp Zambia held at Lusaka’s Mulungushi International Conference Centre (MICC) on Friday 23rd March, 2018. The 10 become the first beneficiaries of Zambia Agribusiness and Trade Project (ZATP)’s Market Connect.
MarketConnect is an advisory, brokerage and financial support service provided by the Zambia Agribusiness and Trade Project (ZATP) that aims to promote the sustainable integration of agribusiness SMEs into value chains with established end-markets and large buyers, by supporting their ability to invest in productivity-enhancing know-how and meet buyer requirements.
The ten winners will further receive 6 weeks of follow-on mentoring and support delivered directly by experts.
“The bootcamp has provided ambitious Zambian entrepreneurs in agriculture with exposure to industry leaders and business insights from people in business.” Said Ina Ruthenberg, World Bank Country Manager for Zambia.
The Zambia Agribusiness Bootcamp was a competitive mentoring and training program designed to help growth-oriented SMEs who operate in value added agribusiness to derive concrete and feasible expansion plans. Over the last three months, the bootcamp supported participating enterprises through coaching, market contacts and peer learning.
“The bootcamp is a precursor to the up-coming MarketConnect service, which is a five-year program that will be launched by the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry under the ZATProject.The ten winners ‘agri-preneurs’ will become the first beneficiaries from our MarketConnect service” Said Kayula Siame, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry.
The Bootcamp, sponsored by the World Bank Group and the Zambian Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry, in partnership with Lusaka’s entrepreneurship hub BongoHive and AgriProfocus, was the first ever in the country and it focused on supporting small and medium enterprises in the Agro-processing industry. | 2019-04-22T12:24:55 | https://bongohive.co.zm/winners-of-the-zambia-agribusiness-bootcamp-announced/ |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana (RMHCK) today revealed plans for a $21 million expansion that will nearly double its capacity to keep out-of-town families close to the local hospitals where their sick children are receiving treatment.
The Louisville-based nonprofit organization will redevelop the former Greater Louisville Medical Society Building at 101 W. Chestnut St., adding 20 new guest rooms and increasing the total number of families it can serve annually to nearly 3,000, up from about 1,500. RMHCK also plans an extensive renovation of its existing, adjacent facility at 550 S. First St. once the new building is complete in spring 2019. This is the largest expansion the organization has undertaken since its founding in 1984.
The project comes in response to recent growth in the local pediatric medical community, including a major expansion at Norton Children’s Hospital and construction of the new UofL Physicians’ Novak Center for Children’s Health.
After all renovations are complete in December 2019, the combined buildings, which are connected by hallways on each floor, will have 56 total guest rooms and 63,000 total square feet.

RMHCK purchased the Greater Louisville Medical Society Building in 2016 for $3.6 million. Construction and renovation costs, along with other project-related expenses, are expected to total $17 million. RMHCK is also raising $4 million to help cover increased operating expenses and other future needs. After working on design plans with Studio Kremer Architects and conducting an extensive RFP process, the RMHCK board of directors has selected Woodbine Construction as general contractor on the project. Some demolition work was completed to evaluate the integrity of the building earlier this year, but renovation work will begin in early September.
The expansion project is being funded by RMHCK’s “Keeping More Families Close” capital campaign. In the quiet phase of the campaign, $18.4 million has been raised to date. In conjunction with the expansion, RMHCK today announced the final, public phase of the campaign to raise the remaining $2.6 million.
Earlier this month, the global Ronald McDonald House Charities organization announced a $100 million donation from research-based global biopharmaceutical company AbbVie, which will support 32 Ronald McDonald House expansions across the United States. RMHCK is receiving $11.7 million from the AbbVie donation — the largest single gift toward the project. For more about the national announcement, click here.
RMHCK has also been approved for approximately $1.9 million in federal and state Historic Tax Credits. Both the current Ronald McDonald House building and the former Medical Society building, which housed the University of Louisville Medical School until 1970, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
RMHCK was founded more than 30 years ago after Jef Conner and Hunt Rounsavall, whose daughter was being treated for cancer during a long hospital stay, observed that many parents of critically ill children who came from outside Louisville did not have a place to sleep at night. The Rounsavalls, along with Christine’s oncologist, Sal Bertolone, M.D., led the efforts to bring a Ronald McDonald House to Louisville. RMHCK began with 19 guest rooms. It was expanded to 29 rooms in 2003, and to 36 rooms in 2009. In 1992, RMHCK pioneered the effort to add Ronald McDonald Family Rooms – smaller versions of Ronald McDonald House — to local hospitals for the added comfort of families of medically fragile children. | 2019-04-25T12:53:55 | https://www.lanereport.com/104994/2018/08/ronald-mcdonald-house-charities-of-kentuckiana-announces-21-million-expansion-project/ |

DRY MOUTH By Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
"Dry mouth can be caused by infections, nerve damage and drugs such as blood pressure medication like clonidine, Prilosec and other ulcer medications, antihistamines, stimulants such as amphetamines and intestinal medication called atropine. It can be associated with a type of arthritis.
Lack of saliva causes mouth and neck pain, infections, difficulty talking and sleeping, dental cavities, and difficulty swallowing because saliva lubricates the food and allows it to pass down your throat. Since the mouth is normally full of germs that belong there, it is very difficult to culture a bacteria that causes dry mouth, but some people are cured by taking the antibiotics metronidazole and clarithromycin for a couple of weeks. If that doesn't cure you, you may have to take a 5mg pilocarpine pill four times a day, but they can cause sweating, nausea, running nose, chills, dizziness and frequent urination.
You can also try a machine called Salitron made by Biosonics in Pennsylvania. It uses an electrical probe in your mouth to stimulate the salivary glands to produce saliva. "
If you are on medication that might be causing dry mouth, talk to your Dr and ask if it is absolutely necessary and ask about alternatives.
If you have digestive problems, high blood pressure or feeling depressed, for example, and you are taking medication there are usually very good lifestyle and nutrition alternatives to medication that has side effects like dry mouth. | 2019-04-24T20:34:51 | http://blog.garymoller.com/2007/01/dry-mouth-advice.html |

COMMONWEALTH vs. RONALD BOTELHO, JR.
Bristol. April 21, 2015. – August 10, 2015.
Present: Fecteau, Agnes, & Sullivan, JJ.
Motor Vehicle, Operating under the influence. Hearing-Impaired Person. Intoxication. Evidence, Intoxication, Argument by prosecutor. Practice, Criminal, Defendant’s decision not to testify, Instructions to jury, Argument by prosecutor.
Complaint received and sworn to in the Fall River Division of the District Court Department on July 13, 2012.
The case was tried before Edmund C. Mathers, J.
Paula Lynch for the defendant.
Rachel W. van Deuren, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.
SULLIVAN, J. The defendant, Ronald Botelho, Jr., appeals from his conviction of operating while under the influence of alcohol (OUI), second offense. See G. L. c. 90, § 24(1)(a)(1). At trial the sole issue for the jury was whether the defendant was intoxicated, or whether his conduct and demeanor were the product of a hearing impairment, compounded by the force of a collision. The defendant contends that the trial judge’s inadvertent failure to heed his request to instruct the jury regarding his decision not to testify, coupled with the prosecutor’s closing argument, created a substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice. We reverse.
The Commonwealth’s case was based on the officer’s observations at the scene. The officer testified that the defendant’s speech was slurred, and that he had red and bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol, and stumbled when he got out of the vehicle. The officer demonstrated two field sobriety tests; the defendant began to perform each test before the instructions were completed. The officer deemed that the defendant failed the two field sobriety tests both because he stumbled, and because he “wasn’t listening” and failed to follow directions. The defendant was arrested and charged with OUI and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
The defendant’s case was presented through the cross-examination of the arresting officer and the testimony of two experts. The officer testified that he was unaware at the time of the accident that the defendant was hearing impaired, and that he was unfamiliar with the defendant’s normal speech pattern. The defense presented two experts who treated the defendant before the accident, a clinical audiologist who had tested the defendant in 2007 and a hearing instrument specialist who fitted the defendant for hearing aids in 2007 and 2012. Both testified that the defendant suffered from “severe to profound hearing loss” — ninety percent in one ear and sixty-four percent in the other. The hearing loss was accompanied by a speech impairment that caused the defendant’s speech to sound slurred. While the officer testified that he thought the defendant could hear him and that the defendant responded to questions, both experts opined that the defendant would not have been able to hear and understand the officer at the scene of the accident from a distance, such as when being given instructions regarding the field sobriety tests. In addition, the audiologist also testified that the defendant’s hearing loss could have been exacerbated by the collision. The audiologist also testified that the defendant had some reported balance issues prior to the accident and that equilibrium and balance issues frequently accompany hearing loss. Defense counsel also elicited testimony from the officer that the air bag deployed in the defendant’s face, and that a white powder was released when the air bag deployed. This, the defense argued, accounted for the red eyes and an odor on his person and in the vehicle.
The jury returned verdicts of guilty of operating while under the influence and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. The judge granted the defendant’s renewed motion for required finding pursuant to Mass.R.Crim.P. 25(b)(2), as amended, 420 Mass. 1502 (1995), on the charge of negligent operation of a motor vehicle and accepted the defendant’s stipulation to the second offense portion of the remaining charge.
Discussion. 1. Instructions. The defendant contends that the judge erred in failing to instruct the jury that they could not draw an adverse inference from the defendant’s election not to testify. The Commonwealth maintains that the burden of proof and presumption of innocence instructions were adequate despite the absence of an adverse inference instruction.
When a defendant requests an instruction regarding his election not to testify, the trial judge must give an instruction that minimizes the risk that the jury will draw an adverse inference from his election. Carter v. Kentucky, 450 U.S. 288, 305 (1981). The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires this protection because “a defendant must pay no court-imposed price for the exercise of his constitutional privilege not to testify. Th[is] penalty [may be] exacted . . . by adverse comment on the defendant’s silence; the penalty may be just as severe when there is no adverse comment, but when the jury is left to roam at large with only its untutored instincts to guide it, to draw from the defendant’s silence broad inferences of guilt. Even without adverse comment, the members of the jury, unless instructed otherwise, may well draw adverse inferences from a defendant’s silence.” Id. at 301.
The defendant submitted a written request for jury instructions regarding his election not to testify. The judge rejected the instructions requested because they were significantly more detailed than the Model Jury Instructions for Use in the District Court. The judge did, however, agree to give an instruction regarding the defendant’s decision not to testify. Despite this assurance, the judge instructed the jury regarding the burden of proof and the presumption of innocence, but did not give an instruction regarding the defendant’s election not to testify. The defendant did not draw the omission to the judge’s attention. Because the defendant failed to object to the instructions given, “we review to determine whether the alleged error created a substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice.” Commonwealth v. Dussault, 71 Mass. App. Ct. 542, 544 (2008).
In assessing the legal adequacy of the instructions given, we look to the charge as a whole to determine if “the charge satisfied the requirement for an instruction minimizing the danger that the jury will draw an adverse inference from the defendant’s decision not to testify.” Commonwealth v. Gilchrist, 413 Mass. 216, 219 (1992), citing Commonwealth v. Thomas, 400 Mass. 676, 679 (1987).
The instruction given was deficient in two interrelated respects. Although the instruction stated that the defendant did not have to produce any evidence at trial, the instruction did not explicitly communicate the defendant’s Fifth Amendment right not to testify as a witness in his own defense. The instruction also failed to convey to the jury that no adverse inference may be drawn from the defendant’s failure to testify. “[T]he failure to limit the jurors’ speculation on the meaning of . . . silence, when the defendant makes a timely request that a prophylactic instruction be given, exacts an impermissible toll on the full and free exercise of the privilege.” Carter, 450 U.S. at 305.
The Commonwealth argues that the instruction regarding the burden of proof and presumption of innocence were sufficient to convey these principles. This argument was considered and rejected in Carter. “Without question, the Fifth Amendment privilege and the presumption of innocence are closely aligned. But these principles serve different functions, and we cannot say that the jury would not have derived significant additional guidance from the instruction requested.” Id. at 304 (quotation omitted). See Commonwealth v. Torres, 17 Mass. App. Ct. 676, 677 (1984) (reversing for failure to give adverse inference instruction); Commonwealth v. Green, 25 Mass. App. Ct. 751, 753-755 (1988) (concluding justice had not been done where, among other errors, judge failed to give adverse inference instruction).
This case stands in contrast to those relied on by the Commonwealth in which the strength of the instructions regarding the right not to testify ameliorated the omission of an adverse inference instruction. For example, in Gilchrist, supra at 218, the judge instructed the jury that “[t]he Defendant does not have to testify.” The Supreme Judicial Court concluded that the instruction — absent here — adequately “minimiz[ed] the danger the jury [would] draw an adverse inference from the defendant’s decision not to testify.” Id. at 219.
Similarly, in Commonwealth v. Feroli, 407 Mass. 405, 409 (1990), the defendant requested that the judge instruct the jury that no adverse inference could be drawn from the fact that the defendant elected not to testify. The judge instructed that “the defendant ha[d] the absolute right to remain passive and require the Commonwealth to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and in so doing he may elect to participate by way of examination of the evidence presented by the Commonwealth or not elect to participate to that extent.” Id. at 410. The Supreme Judicial Court concluded that while it would have been preferable to include the “‘no adverse inference’ language,” the omission did not create a substantial likelihood of a miscarriage of justice because “the judge emphasized that the defendant’s right not to testify was ‘absolute.’” Ibid.
By contrast, the instruction here did not explicitly state that the defendant had an “absolute” right not to testify. The preliminary instruction included the statement that “the defendant may present evidence in his behalf if he wishes to do so, but he is not obliged to do so.” The final instruction said only that he was not “required to call any witness.” In the absence of an adverse inference instruction, the suggestion that the defendant may present evidence on his behalf opened the door to speculation as to why he had not. “No judge can prevent jurors from speculating about why a defendant stands mute in the face of a criminal accusation, but a judge can, and must, if requested to do so, use the unique power of the jury instruction to reduce that speculation to a minimum.” Carter, 450 U.S. at 303.
2. Prejudice. In determining whether the failure to give an instruction created a substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice, we consider “(1) whether the Commonwealth presented a strong case against the defendant; (2) whether the error is sufficiently significant in the context of the trial to make plausible an inference that the [jury’s] result might have been otherwise but for the error; and (3) whether it can be inferred from the record that counsel’s failure to object was not simply a reasonable tactical decision.” Dussault, 71 Mass. App. Ct. at 544 (quotations omitted). The defendant requested the instruction, so it is clear from the record that the failure to object was not strategic. We therefore look to the other two factors, the strength of the Commonwealth’s case and the context of the trial.
The evidence of the defendant’s guilt was not overwhelming. Contrast id. at 543-544. No witness saw the accident or saw the defendant driving before the accident. The defendant consistently stated that he had not been drinking. There was no alcohol in the vehicle and no testimony that he had been drinking. The arresting officer testified to many observations consistent with alcohol intoxication, such as slurred speech and poor balance. However, the defendant provided an alternative explanation — profound hearing loss, a speech impairment, and previous balance problems derived from the hearing loss, all compounded by the collision and the deployment of the air bag to the head. The officer also testified that the defendant had red eyes and smelled of alcohol, but cross-examination provided an alternative theory, namely that the chemicals released when the air bag deployed caused the reddened eyes and the odor.
Furthermore, the officer’s assertion that the defendant smelled of alcohol and the defendant’s denials presented a question of credibility for the jury. Where the jury could have been aided in the resolution of a credibility question by the defendant’s testimony, the absence of the requested instruction takes on heightened significance. See Green, 25 Mass. App. Ct. at 753-755.
More importantly, the failure to give the requested instruction was highly significant in the context of the trial. There was a conflict in the evidence regarding the inferences to be drawn from the defendant’s slurred speech. It is difficult to imagine a case in which the jury would have a greater interest in “hearing” the defendant. In this context, the risk that the jury would draw an adverse inference from the failure to testify is particularly high. Any prejudice attendant to the failure to give the instruction was exacerbated in the unique circumstances of this case.
3. Closing argument. The risk of prejudice was compounded by the prosecutor’s closing argument. Arguing that the defendant was in fact intoxicated at the time of the accident, the prosecutor stated, “[t]he issue was is he intoxicated that night. The only testimony you heard from that night was Officer Strong’s.” “[P]rosecutorial comments on the defendant’s silence at times when the defendant is constitutionally entitled to remain silent, such as . . . at trial, are impermissible.” Commonwealth v. Teixera, 396 Mass. 746, 752 (1986). The defendant contends that this statement implicitly suggested to the jury “that the defendant had an affirmative duty to counter the Commonwealth’s evidence against him.” Commonwealth v. Johnson, 463 Mass. 95, 113 (2012). The Commonwealth maintains that this argument was fair comment on the evidence in the context of the trial as a whole.
“Whatever the prosecutor’s intent, if his remarks were reasonably susceptible of being interpreted as a comment on the defendant’s failure to take the stand, they would be improper.” Commonwealth v. Pena, 455 Mass. 1, 19 (2009), citing Commonwealth v. Gouveia, 371 Mass. 566, 571 (1976). See Mass. G. Evid. § 1113(b)(3)(E) (2015) (setting forth what is impermissible in closing arguments in criminal cases). By this standard, the closing argument here was improper. The prosecutor’s use of the word “only” coupled with the twice repeated reference to “that night” served to focus the jury’s attention on the defendant’s failure to testify, since the interactions between the defendant and the arresting officer at the scene that night were the sole basis of the Commonwealth’s case.
The prosecutor’s remarks also exacerbated the prejudice attendant to the judge’s failure to give the adverse inference instruction. Conversely, the absence of an adverse inference instruction also failed to “neutralize any prejudice produced by the prosecutor’s” statement or “mitigate any suggestion of burden shifting that may have arisen.” Johnson, supra at 114. See Pena, supra at 19. Contrast Commonwealth v. Russo, 49 Mass. App. Ct. 579, 583 (2000) (no substantial risk due to closing argument where evidence of guilt was strong and appropriate curative instructions were given); Dussault, 71 Mass. App. Ct. at 545 (evidence overwhelming and no comment on silence in closing argument).
Conclusion. In the circumstances presented, the unfortunate synergy between the failure to give the requested instruction and the prosecutor’s closing argument leads to a plausible inference that the jury’s result might have been otherwise but for the errors. For this reason the judgment is reversed and the verdict is set aside.
The officer asked at the accident scene if the defendant had any medical conditions, and the defendant said, “No.” Medical personnel arrived at the scene, and the defendant declined treatment.
The defendant also maintains that counsel was ineffective in failing to object to the omission of the instruction. Because the analysis of prejudice under an ineffective assistance claim is substantially the same as the analysis of prejudice under the substantial risk of miscarriage of justice standard, we consider the claims together. See Commonwealth v. Lavoie, 464 Mass. 83, 89, cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 2356 (2013).
The judge was not limited to the specific language requested by the defendant. See Commonwealth v. Carrion, 407 Mass. 263, 270 (1990); Commonwealth v. Gilchrist, 413 Mass. 216, 218 (1992).
Instruction 3.600 of the Criminal Model Jury Instructions for Use in the District Court (2009).
The judge also gave a similar instruction in his preliminary instructions to the jury.
In Feroli, supra at 407, the court reviewed the judge’s failure to give the “no adverse inference” instruction under G. L. c. 278, § 33E.
Notably, the Supreme Judicial Court did not approve the instruction given in Feroli. This instruction was approved in Commonwealth v. Powers, 9 Mass. App. Ct. 771 (1980), before the United States Supreme Court decision in Carter. In Feroli, decided after Carter, the court passed on the issue of the propriety of the instruction, and reached a result on the basis that the defendant was not prejudiced.
Earlier in his closing argument, the prosecutor also stated, “his vehicle was driven into a pole, whether it’s because of a mechanical malfunction, which we have no evidence of today. No evidence was introduced regarding that or whether it was because he was under the influence.” This argument was made in response to defense counsel’s closing argument, in which he argued forcefully that the vehicle had been towed by the police and that the Commonwealth had failed to examine the vehicle or the stabilizer. However, the prosecutor’s response was not an explanation why the police did not examine the vehicle. Instead, the argument may be interpreted to suggest that the defendant should have testified to the condition of the vehicle or produced evidence of the condition of the vehicle.
We do not address the remaining claims on appeal as error, if any, is unlikely to be repeated on retrial. | 2019-04-19T17:12:54 | http://masslegalresources.com/commonwealth-v-botelho-lawyers-weekly-no-11-100-15 |

Last year he spent six months at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London filming For The Love Of Dogs for ITV which regularly notched up eight million viewers.
The “sights” he refers to are dogs who had suffered appalling abuse.
“Honestly, call ourselves a nation of animal lovers?” says O’Grady, eyes blazing. “There was a little Staffie bull terrier called Sparkle. She’d been dumped in a suitcase with a polythene bag over her – just to make sure – and she was literally a skeleton with skin when they found her. Another Staffie had a trench all round his face where they’d put barbed wire round his muzzle.
“How is that not a serious crime? If there’s a prosecution, the perpetrators only get banned from keeping a dog for three years. No! Ban them for life. If someone can do that to a dog it’s not such a big leap to do it to a human. I know this from my time working in social services. Dogs and kids are both vulnerable creatures who depend on us and cruelty is cruelty.
“What we’re seeing more of now is cruelty perpetrated by kids which is very worrying because they seem to have no conscience about it. And you wouldn’t believe the excuses people give for bringing a dog in. ‘He chewed my curtains’ or ‘This dog doesn’t go with my carpet’. Unbeleivable.
The association with O’Grady, one of the most popular celebrities of the age – has done Battersea no harm at all. Whenever For The Love Of Dogs is on its website crashes, the switchboard goes into meltdown and donations pour in. It also made him an obvious choice (along with fellow dog lover Amanda Holden) to front the Buy One, Feed One campaign launched today by Pedigree, the pet food firm. For every pack of dog food sold the company will donate a meal to a re-homing centre. The target is to feed a million rescue dogs. | 2019-04-25T00:07:21 | https://www.onestoppetshop.co.uk/paul-ogrady-wants-feed-1-million-rescue-dogs/ |

LaVanila Natural Deodorant with Vanilla & Passionfruit in a Stick.
I got this deo in pure vanilla and it was fantastic for my sensitive skin!!!
The smell of it was amazing. Well Done. But as for the other fragrance I used before it didn’t seem to work after an hour.
