The children are normally admitted to the Homes between the ages of five and ten. They are usually brought by a relative, parent or guardian, and sometimes by the police or a pastor. Admission to the CMS Homes is without reference to caste, creed, or religion. The only criteria are that they should be orphans or semi-orphans and destitute. A substantial section of the children of CMS Homes are from backward rural areas and from neglected refugee and tribal sections. In many cases children admitted to these homes are those, who could not get placements in institutions elsewhere.\nAfter admission, the Mission attempts to put the children under foster care through the Indian Fostership Scheme and through its offices in Germany and Switzerland.\nOver the years the CMS Homes have changed their pattern and style of working, aiming to progressively improve the care given to the children. Through experience we have learned that orphan children develop healthily, mentally and psychologically if they live together as groups of boys and girls in a family atmosphere. In the Children’s Village and Children’s Homes, 9 boys and 9 girls are normally accommodated in one cottage under the care of a house mother or house parents who have been specially trained and equipped to look after the Mental, physical and spiritual development of the children. The work of the different house mothers or house parents in a Children’s Home or Village is coordinated by a Warden who is trained to look after the total maintenance of the Home.\nIn the Home, the children are provided with all their daily needs such as food, clothing, school uniforms, education and gifts during festivals, and recreational facilities. Children are given a well-balanced diet. A Dietician supervises all the Home kitchens, storekeepers and the cooks and gives the necessary advice on the diet. Usually children dine as a family group. House fathers and house mothers are expected to sit and dine with the children to enable them to have close contact with them. Their health status is periodically checked through full time medical and health personnel employed by CMS as well as through voluntary help from private medical practitioners. The children are taught to wash and keep their own clothes neat and help keep their Homes and surroundings clean and beautiful.\nThe spiritual growth and development of the children is taken care of through having regular morning and evening devotions in the Homes led by the house parents, attendance at Sunday services both in the Homes and at local churches, Sunday schools and VBS classes. Many of the children have moving testimonies of having experienced the love of God in their lives through the care and love they receive in the Homes.\nIt would not be possible to run these institutions without the 680 dedicated, selfless and committed staff (some of whom were looked after, and trained by the Mission), who are working in it. CMS is also an expression of the willingness of groups of Christians from India, Germany and Switzerland and other countries to share the burden of the poor in countries like India. Above all we give thanks and praise to our Lord for calling us to serve Him through His children and for enabling us to grow and develop to meet their needs.

The Catholic Register, owned by the Archdiocese of Toronto, published on November 30 an article about the Old Rite Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. The piece carries the contradictory heading: "Traditional Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter stresses unity with Pope Francis".\nThe article quotes the Fraternity's Superior General, Father Andrzej Komorowski, saying that “There is no possibility to get to Heaven without being united to the Pope”. There is very little likelihood that Pope Francis would agree with this statement.\napvs mentioned this post in Et pour ce qui concerne la fraternité saint Pie X "schismatique", laissons Gloria TV vous répondre….\nHoly Cannoli mentioned this post in Dear Eva, Please comment on the following: I did a search for the news presented by Doina and Luci….\nA wounderful new monastery of the Tradition (SSPX) in New-Mexico!: Our Lady Of Guadalupe Monastery Silver City NM.\nMgsr Lefebvre was meticulously respectful of Pope Paul. Mgsr Lefebvre kept with the 'transitional missal' in Econe for most of the 70s, expelling sedevacanists too.\nHas this got anything to do with the fact that Abp Lefebvre said during an audio recording that he had received a note from "Paul VI" in 1988 (long after Paul's death in 1978) In the note he asked Abp Lefebvre to "Consecrate many Bishops? "\nOr was Abp Lefebvre speaking of Cardinal Siri's election?\nWhat happened to the note received by Abp Lefebvre? Has anyone kept it? Has the handwriting been analyzed by professionals? Has it retained Paul VI's particles on it that can be detected by scientific analysis? I heard many years ago that Pinkerton's Detective Agency had been hired to find out whether the Paul VI who was making all the changes to the Mass, etc. was an imposter since he did not speak French - and the original one did and he was confusing delegates which proved him to be "a fake." The Marian Press hired Pinkerton's to go to Rome to investigate whether the real Paul VI had been replaced by an imposter. It's said that Pinkertons Analyzed Voice Recordings of the "Two Paul Vi's" and stated that the recent one "was definitely not the same man as the old Paul VI and thereby an Imposter.\nThat would make a big problem for us in the Church today, and if there are people who have evidence of how Abp Lefebvre viewed the situation of Paul VI or Cardinal Siri, could they step forward ASAP as ravening wolves are destroying souls and Imposter Popes mean an invalid hierarchy. It's that serious!

This is a guest repost by Christophe Limpalair, creator of Scale Your Code.\nIn this article, we take a look at methods used by Shopify to make their platform resilient. Not only is this interesting to read about, but it can also be practical and help you with your own applications.\nShopify, an ecommerce solution, handles about 300 million unique visitors a month, but as you'll see, these 300M people don't show up in an evenly distributed fashion.\nOne of their biggest challenge is what they call "flash sales". These flash sales are when tremendously popular stores sell something at a specific time.\nFor example, Kanye West might sell new shoes. Combined with Kim Kardashian, they have a following of 50 million people on Twitter alone.\nThey also have customers who advertise on the Superbowl. Because of this, they have no idea how much traffic to expect. It could be 200,000 people showing up at 3:00 for a special sale that ends within a few hours.\nHow does Shopify scale to these sudden increases in traffic? Even if they can't scale that well for a particular sale, how can they make sure it doesn't affect other stores? This is what we will discuss in the next sections, after briefly explaining Shopify's architecture for context.\nEven though Shopify moved to Docker last year, they have not moved away from a Monolithic application. I asked Simon why, and he told me that they do not take the overhead of Microservices lightly. However, this move has positioned them for an easier transition in the future if they ever decide to go that route.\nA request goes to Nginx and then to a cluster of servers running Docker with the Rails app.\nThe majority of this runs on their own hardware. They do also run a few things on AWS.\nTo reduce cost, Shopify runs a multi-tenancy platform. This means they have multiple stores on a single server -- shopA.com and shopB.com are served from the same server, for example.\nMoving to Docker has enabled Shopify to run Continuous Integration on hundreds of thousands of lines of Ruby in about 5 minutes (15 minutes before Docker) and deploys to 300-400 nodes across 3 data centers take just 3 minutes (15 minutes before). These are impressive changes.\nIdeally, the platform could handle spikes on its own. This is not completely implemented yet, so they run through a performance checklist before large sales.\nIn Kanye West's example, they sat down for 2 weeks and did extensive passive load testing and performance optimizations by combing through critical parts of the platform.\nTo run various tests, they use something called the Resiliency Matrix.\nThe Resiliency Matrix can help determine what happens to systems when a service goes down.\nSay Redis goes down, and Redis is used as an integral part of checkouts. Do you take the whole site down and put it into maintenance mode? No, you can just sign everyone out and still allow them to go through checkout without customer accounts. Then, once Redis is back up, associate email addresses with the customer account and fill in the gaps.\nGo down your list of systems (like storefronts, admin dashboards, API, etc...) and see what happens when a service goes down -- what other parts of your systems are effected? Try to remove these dependencies and your application resiliency will drastically improve. It's like a chain, where your application's strength is only as strong as the weakest link.\nTo help with this process, the Shopify team open sourced Toxiproxy and Semian.\nToxiproxy introduces controlled latency in whatever system you choose.\nSemian is used to verify that you have no single points of failure.\nFor more on resiliency, check out one of Simon's conference talks where he gives a lot more detail. It's super interesting.\nOn top of this resiliency work, Shopify is also able to over-provision since they own their own hardware. This is cheap for them, but it may not be as cheap if you run on the cloud. Take a look at the cost versus benefit, and see if it makes sense for you.\nAnother big challenge has been scaling the data store. Since Shopify handles financial transactions, their databases cannot be out of sync. The solution? Shopify sharded MySQL about 2 years ago. They shard pretty aggressively and are aiming at having more, and smaller, shards over time.\nSimon went on to say that scaling databases is hard -- especially sharding. It almost always should be a last resort. You can probably cache a lot before you have to do it. But the good thing about shards is that they help isolate incidents. If something crazy is going on with a customer in a single shard, only a very small subset of the entire platform suffers from it.\nGoing back to resiliency testing, Simon reinforces that most of their database scaling issues have been fixed with a lot of resiliency work and automatic failovers.\nWhat Other Improvements Are They Planning?\nGoing forward, the team is looking at isolating tiers that serve the applications from each other. Another big thing they are working on is getting shops to run out of multiple different data centers on different continents at the same time. This is big for data locality and also to protect against unexpected events.\nProtecting against unexpected events is also something Netflix has invested a substantial amount of resources in as Jeremy Edberg told me in his interview.\nIn addition to these plans, they are also looking at making failovers something they could easily perform multiple times a day. If you are curious about how they perform failover tests between entire data centers, refer to Simon's interview page.\nAs it stands, they cannot failover an entire data center without temporarily taking down checkouts. However, they are currently working on a solution to overcome this.\nMy goal with this article is to give you easily-digestible knowledge you can take action on. What action(s) can you take now? Well, you probably want to avoid sharding, so can you cache more? You may not be able to over-provision due to cost, but what about checking out the resiliency matrix? Even if you don't have the resources to pull this off right now, building one of these matrices or even just thinking about it can be helpful.

Following on the heels of my deep love for the arts in mediums of oil paint, watercolor and charcoal drawings, I began my journey into goldsmithing as a young apprentice for an old-school jeweler in the small Sierra Nevada mountain town of Truckee, California. It was my time spent learning with him that the curiosity for creating with metals and gemstones in mountain themed and nature inspired designs began. Today, most aspects of working over the metals come like second nature but there are many concepts and ideas I consider that require a lot of trial & error to bring a piece to fruition. Creating is a continual ebb & flow of merging uncertainty with familiar movements.\nCurrently, my home studio looks out into the Deschutes National Forest on the outskirts of Bend, Oregon. The jewelry I make is artfully created in reclaimed metals of sterling, fine silver and solid karat gold in the styles I love most. The gemstones used are genuine and diverse. The tools in hand are simple, well-loved and passed down from the goldsmiths I worked with years ago, and purposely limited to stay true to the art of handmade jewelry.\nI am continually inspired by the time that I spend in the backcountry. Each piece that is born of my hands is intentionally handcrafted with the expectation that you will take it wherever your adventures on road or foot may lead you. Made to last, and always & forever...made with love.

On the fringe of the scientific community there are working great researchers, who insist on studying phenomena that do not fit in the drawers of the dominant worldview. Despite the fear of ridicule from the scientific establishment they continue gaining momentum in their work by building their stature and publishing their findings. Below I quote some of authoritative websites.\nTherein you will find a wealth of publications and articles on the borderline phenomena related to Transpersonal Psychology and Parapsychology. Research on issues such as flashbacks to previous lives, near-death experiences, OBEs, Extra-Sensnory Perception (ESP), reports of children who recall their previous incarnation etc. This accumulation of evidence has begun to expand exponentially and shows so clearly as ever that some part of human consciousness seems to survive biological death. May be , a large tsunami will hit the coast of the scientific and religious establishment, and will highlight the need for change the current paradigms.\nEarth Association for Regression Therapy, EARTh.The Earth Association for Regression Therapy was founded in Frankfurt in 2006.\nInternational Board for Regression Therapy, IBRT.\nThis is the website of the official World Congress for Regression Therapy which takes place every three years in different countries.\nA living pioneer on regression therapy.

Fifth disease is a mild illness caused by a virus called human parvovirus B19. The disease is similar to the many other “common cold” viruses and is rarely serious. It can be distinguished by the appearance of a red rash on the cheeks, garnering it the unique name of a “slapped cheek” rash.\nFifth disease is spread from person to person by coughing, sneezing or touching droplets from the nose and mouth of an infected person. Once the rash appears, the person can no longer spread the infection.\nThere is no treatment for fifth disease, most people get well on their own. If your child has fever or joint pain, you may give acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (if older than 6 months; brand name: Motrin, Advil). Antibiotics do not work on fifth disease. Do not give aspirin-containing products.\nPregnant women should avoid close contact of children with fifth disease. If exposed, they should call their health provider. Although the risk is low, fifth disease may harm an unborn child.

WCCLS Kids: Fingerplay Fun Friday: When I Was One!\nFingerplay Fun Friday: When I Was One!\nNow I'm four and so are you!\nI like this one because it is a nice little counting game that helps build a solid foundation for beginning counters.\nWe count to the manageable number 4 and each number is described in a way that makes it distinct from from the others. Best of all, it is so natural to count by referring to our fingers. When kids count on their fingers, they are making a 1-to-1 correspondence between their physical finger(s) and the abstract idea of a number.\nAs with all skills, counting takes practice and it is best to begin with small steps. After kids arrive at the "aha moment" when they understand the connection between the amount of fingers and the abstract idea of a number, they will be better prepared for bigger counting exercises, counting backwards and other higher level math operations.\nThe ability to make the connection between the physical amount of fingers and the abstract idea of a number is not very different from the skill it takes a child to associate a sound with a letter or combination of letters (a word) with the idea that it represents. When we share rhymes and fingerplays that help kids make meaning out of the world, we're better equipping them for future school success!

The Swedes are doing all they can to shut down The Pirate Bay, but it just won’t die. A Swedish court ordered the popular file sharing site’s bandwidth provider to cut it’s Internet access or face fines, which was enough to pressure Black Internet into action.\nWhile the ruling was handed down on Friday, the ISP did not receive the order until Monday, which it immediately complied with. But that move has apparently triggered some type of backlash which appears to be related to its decision to comply with the courts.\nBlack Internet said within hours of its move, it was attacked by hackers, which did considerable damage to its infrastructure. Since the ISP provides bandwidth to other sites other than The Pirate Bay, several other companies were affected as a result.\nOfficials with the company weren’t elaborating on details but said it was working with police and engineers to understand what happened and where it may have came from.\nMeanwhile The Pirate Bay has found a new ISP and was up fully within hours of the shutdown, making the Swedish court’s move essentially meaningless. For all intents and purposes, it appears as if it may be a losing battle to try to take the site down.\nIt’s tough not to root for The Pirate Bay crew. I do agree that pirating is not the way to go but actually TPB is the best competition to the major labels/studios. If you imagine that the labels/studios would use the money they spent on pursuing TPB to improve their business/distribution model I do not think that TPB would be a big problem. If getting music/movies would be easy and affordable there would be little point in pirating. Unfortunately platforms like the iTunes store or Amazon MP3 are only available in the US and a few european countries. Where I live there is no reasonable way to get music/movies other then buy expensive DVDs/CDs.

Compared to whites, blacks under-utilize primary care and over-utilize emergency department services. This study examines whether mistrust in physicians explains these black-white disparities, and the potentially modifying influence of socialization under racially segregated health care (i.e., raised in the U.S. South during the Jim Crow era).\nThis study compared Dr. Sidney Katz's original dichotomous measure of dependence in performing activities of daily living (ADL) with the National Health and Aging Trends Study's (NHATS) broader spectrum of functional status, demonstrating that many community-dwelling older adults can adapt to functional impairment rather than requiring assistance from another person in completing ADL.\nIn response to the serious toll diabetes takes on health and resources, researchers increasingly are examining physical and psychological pathways that affect and are affected by diabetes, including stress.

New year. Woo. | MEOW hear this!\nIt’s really just another day, right? The cats REALLY did not seem very excited last night when we poured champagne.\nSo this technically is sparkling wine, because it’s from Spain, but it was cheap. And yes, that’s not a champagne glass, but seriously, who has those?\nNot that they got any. In fact, they were asleep.\nOh, really, it’s midnight? Eff off, humans.\nProbably the right idea. I’ve always thought starting the new year with a hangover wasn’t really in the spirit of new year’s resolutions. Unless, of course, your resolution is to drink more. Frankly, with the way the world is these days, I wouldn’t blame anyone for doing just that. We stayed in and played 80’s Trivial Pursuit (this part of the evening was a HUGE concession on the boyfriend’s part, and I am very appreciative of his willingness to make me happy).\nTaco was kind enough to referee for us.\nNeither of us wanted to stay sober enough to drive and there was nothing worth getting a taxi for.\nI don’t really make resolutions. My interests are fleeting and cycle too quickly for that. I always try to go to the gym, I already half quit smoking, and I’m vegan. Pretty damn healthy if you ask me.\nBesides, I have already resolved to do a bunch of stuff. Like be neater. Neatness is really not a Sarah trait. I try to be. I really do. But I can’t. Even when I do organize things, the “Organizing Sarah” has COMPLETELY different ideas from “Trying To Find Things Sarah.” Wherever I think is a good place to put something when I’m putting it there, I cannot for the life of me figure out where that is when I’m trying to find it. It’s some weird split personality thing. The boyfriend loves neatness, and I drive him crazy. You can imagine how much he loves the cats, because, you know, they don’t deposit hair and cat litter EVERYWHERE.\nBasically I have these ongoing resolutions that, when I get a wild hair, get all charged up about making them happen again. The start of 2013 doesn’t make me feel any more resolute than any other day. I think all I really want is what we all want, and that’s to be happier. The older I get, the harder that is. Ignorance is bliss. On the plus side, even though I’m older and wiser, I’m also more forgetful. Maybe it all evens out.\nAnyway. Happy new year! If you’re into that sort of thing.\nYour writing always gives me a laugh. That forgetful thing is pretty relatable. I got up for two minutes to check on Blossum and completely lost my glasses…I went from sofa to kitchen and back…urg. My husband found them on the stair banister (it’s on the way to the kitchen). Why I’d take them off my face, half way to the kitchen and put them down there is anyones guess. On the bright side, 10 minutes of marching around, looking for my glass wore off a couple of calories more than just sitting on the sofa. Happy New Year, I’m officially senile.\nAnd I love the positive spin on the calorie burning.\nCat hair in my eye. WOO!

This report studies the global Copper Busbar market status and forecast, categorizes the global Copper Busbar market size (value & volume) by manufacturers, type, application, and region. This report focuses on the top manufacturers in North America, Europe, Japan, China, India, Southeast Asia and other regions (Central & South America, and Middle East & Africa).\nIn electrical power distribution, a busbar (also spelled bus bar, or sometimes as buss bar or bussbar, with the term bus being a contraction of the Latin omnibus, "for all", is a metallic strip or bar (typically copper, brass or aluminium) that conducts electricity within a switchboard, distribution board, substation, battery bank, or other electrical apparatus. Busbar is an electrical conductor that carries large current, especially one that is part of a power distribution system; typically a thick strip, or a tube. Busbars are used to carry substantial electric currents over relatively short distances; their greater surface area (compared to a wire of the same weight) reduces losses due to corona discharge.\nThe material composition and cross-sectional size of the busbar determine the maximum amount of current that can be safely carried. Busbars can have a cross-sectional area of as little as 10 square millimetres (0.016 sq in), but electrical substations may use metal tubes 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter (20 square millimetres (0.031 sq in)) or more as busbars.\nGlobal demand of Copper Busbar has maintained steady growth, the growth rate is around 1.5%, and similar to production growth. Copper Busbar major type is OFCopper Busbar and ETPCopper Busbar. Downstream applications field include Industrial Buildings, Commercial Building and Civil Building, these industries development rapidly, this industries demand for fastener and shaped pieces are constantly increasing, indirectly stimulating the market demand of Copper Busbar, and stimulate the development of Copper Busbar industry.\nDespite the presence of competition problems, the global recovery trend is clear, Copper Busbar retains its advantage in fastener and shaped pieces produce, investors are still optimistic about this area; the future will still have more new investment enter the field. Although sales of Copper Busbar brought a lot of opportunity, the study group recommends the new entrants just having money but without technical advantage and downstream support do not to enter into the Copper Busbar field.\nThe global Copper Busbar market is valued at 4210 million US$ in 2017 and will reach 4810 million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 1.7% during 2018-2025.\nFocuses on the key Copper Busbar manufacturers, to study the capacity, production, value, market share and development plans in future.\nRegional and country-level analysis of the Copper Busbar market, by end-use.

Everyone deserves to get away for a bit. Even the miscreants at St Mary's. Astonishingly, Dr. Bairstow has declared a holiday. Even more astonishingly - he's paying for it. Needless to say, there are strings attached. They have to record the 1601 performance of Hamlet, with Shakespeare himself in the role of the Ghost. It doesn't go well, of course.\nThe book was again a joy to listen to. Nice and relaxing with a good chunk of humour. New characters coming into their own 🙂.Just a pity Amazon decided it was time to pay for this short story after the others .5's were free.

In recent months, interest in traditional Chinese culture has surged among Chinese millennials. It’s a trend that has impacted their daily lifestyles, creative expression, and consumption behavior.\nWith no memories of the anti-intellectual Cultural Revolution, Chinese Millennials have a voracious appetite for knowledge and discovery. And they are searching for more meaning from their purchases. According to the 2017 China Cultural Industry Series Index, post-90s Chinese are the most willing to spend on culture.\nDigging into their culture and heritage has become a very popular way for China’s younger generation to explore their own identities. The country’s long and complex history offers discoveries that go well beyond state-sanctioned national pride. These younger generations are developing a profound interest in their country’s material historical culture, becoming experts in different periods, and forging emotional connections to their aesthetics.“Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, each have their own specific styles. Instead of repeating superficial Chinese aesthetics, it’s better to go deeper in a specific period,” said Yu Yuzhou, a 24-year-old student, for example.\n“The bling bling, gold, red with green is actually the aesthetic of Manchu. The aesthetic of Han is simple and elegant,” said Sha Chenyu, 23-year-old student.\nThis phenomenon is also supported by the fashion and beauty industries, who are adapting their products and communications by modernizing heritage in a way that appeases the censors but still intrigues this fast, ultra-connected and curious generation.\nHere, we’ve selected five initiatives that illustrate how Chinese heritage is being adapted for Chinese millennials, and analyzed what international luxury brands can learn from the trend.\nThe Forbidden City, with its 600-year history, recently went viral with Chinese millennials. They developed a line of products adapted to the lives of young people based on studies of consumer’s demand. They managed to transform history into products like calendars and decorative tape.\nThey also hired a young team using new digital tools and Millennial lexicon to communicate with them, helping the Forbidden City update its old-fashioned, out of touch image.\nThe National Treasures (国家宝藏) TV show on CCTV-3 has been a surprise hit among the post-90s generation. Nine museums around China are invited to participate in the show, and each brings three significant artifacts from their collections. Spectators are invited to vote online for their favorite, which will be showcased in the final exhibition at the Forbidden City later this year.\nThe production makes the story of the artifacts easy to understand by enlisting famous celebrities to play roles and narrate the pieces’ legendary histories. CCTV-3 also created an official account on Bilibili, a youth-dominated video platform, which allows young viewers to send comments flying across videos in a “bullet screen”. The content garnered a huge amount of attention, reaching 16.8 million views on the platform so far.\nPechoin introduced a limited gift set on Singles’ Day in 2017 that included an exclusive hairpin designed by Zhong Hua, a jewelry designer and consultant for the Forbidden City. They made a short video to present the entire production process, from inspiration through ancient imperial craftsmanship. It reconnects the notion of luxury with the brand’s roots. The gift sets sold out in 35 seconds.\nMukzin is a Chinese style street fashion brand founded by two local designers who studied abroad. Their designs are inspired by the “Oriental Fever” trend, modernizing traditional Chinese aesthetics after finding mainstream fashion too Westernized. Mukzin is reviving China’s own diverse “savoir-faire” through various unique Chinese folk arts.\nMuzkin’s first couture series, Mukzin Traditional Handicraft (2016), adopted the intangible cultural heritage of Xinjiang province and its particular embroidery technique to create beautiful, unique pieces. Even the photo shoot was done with the help of local artists.\nTea culture is part of China’s history, but the younger generation has gradually turned to coffee with the influence of Western culture and the near-spontaneous spread of Starbucks. But nowadays, it is very common to see millennials queuing for a cup of tea from Heytea, a must-go among Chinese Millennials.\nHeytea try to honor the tea leaf while adapting it to the younger generation in unique recipes, such as cheese tea and fresh fruit tea. Heytea has simplified the habit of drinking tea, making it more more casual than the traditional tea ceremony without eroding the quality, for instance by using tea powder instead of leaves. Its stores are comfortable, and customers are encouraged to take pictures and share them on their social media.\nAncient aesthetics and history are attractive to this new generation, and even more so when brands embrace Millennials’ digital channels and cultural codes.\nForeign luxury brands can take part in this trend in the following ways.\nThat young Chinese have a thirst for their own heritage does not preclude them from being interested in other stories. A brand’s story may be precious and inspiring, but to reach Chinese millennials we should also dare to communicate these stories using new digital tools and distribution paths.\nA superficial cultural background will not only be unsuccessful but might also cause Millennials to mock you online. More precise knowledge that doesn’t condescend to Millennials but helps them explore Chinese culture further is far more welcome.\nYounger Chinese generations are only just begun to dig into their traditional culture, and they’re eager to discover more. Foreign luxury brands can support the ongoing cultural revival by financing cultural programs, developing specific products in partnership with local artisans, or by drawing on their own specific know-how. Cartier, for example, collaborated with Chinese artisans to restore antique timepieces from the Forbidden City’s Palace Museum.\nJuliette Duveau and Sophia Dumenil are the founders of The Chinese Pulse, a Paris-basedmarketing consultancy dedicated to helping fashion, beauty, luxury, and lifestyle brands with their China strategies.

In the last post I mentioned how I’ve gotten back into Haskell over the last months. Come December and time for another round of The Advent of Code. I haven’t been participating in this programming challenge series the last few year. However, since this is an excellent chance to apply Haskell to new problems I decided to start follow the challenges. I have thoroughly enjoyed the ones I have attempted thus far, even though I’ve not been able to keep up with the daily challenges. They often end up taking a surprising amount of time, perhaps also due to me using Haskell.\nOne common denominator with all the challenges in the Advent of Code is the requirement to parse input data. Parsers may be a “solved problem”, but there are many ways to approach parsing when faced with challenges like these, ranging from pragmatic uses of regular expressions and ad-hoc string manipulation, to fully-specified grammars and parser generators.\nCoincidentally, parsing is one of the areas in which Haskell truly shines, especially in the domain of parser combinators. There are multiple parser combinator libraries for Haskell, yet I’m not going to focus on any of them here. For the Advent of Code, I didn’t want to stray too far away from the default base package, and to my joy I found that there actually is a quite capable parser combinator module included in base: Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP.\nA parser combinator is a higher-order function which accepts parsers as input, returning a new parser as output. A combinator is a higher-order function that uses only function application and earlier defined combinators to define a result from its arguments1.\nmany1 repeats a given parser one or more times, yielding a list of the result, while satisfy yields a single Char if it passes a predicate function (isDigit in our example).\nThe reason the return value is a list, is because an input could result in multiple successful parses, and with varying lengths of matching input. This interface can be unexpected if you’re used to parsers either failing or succeeding with a single result.\nλ: readP_to_S (parseDigits <* eof) "123"\nWe’ve already seen glimpses of how we combine predefined parsers from ReadP into more complex parsers. Several of the ReadP parsers accept other parsers as input, hence the combinator-part. parseDigits uses only function application to construct a parser of digits from many1 and satisfy with a predicate. There’s one major flaw with parseDigits though, it doesn’t actually yield us a number!\nλ: map (readInt . fst) $ readP_to_S parseDigits "123"\nThis means we can create parsers which directly yield the data types we desire. In order to do that though, we need to familiarize ourselves with some of the ReadP typeclass instances, mainly: Functor and Applicative. There are also instances for Alternative and Monad.\nλ: :t readP_to_S parseInt "123"\nλ: readP_to_S (parseMaybeInt <* eof) "123"\nWe do not yet have the tools we need in order to create parsers for types which are constructed from multiple arguments, like (,) (the Tuple data constructor). Functor only allows us to map over a (single) parse result to yield another type. Granted, we could give up on type safety and parse our input into substrings, which we again validate piece by piece to construct our values. But we don’t accept compromises like these, do we? No we don’t.\nλ: readP_to_S ((,) <$> parseInt <*> parseInt) "123"\nWe’re now getting tuples out of our parser, although we’re not parsing actual tuples yet. Also note that our parser is ambiguous. The result of the parser should be a tuple, but it’s equally valid to create a tuple of the first and second digit, as is splitting x and y between the second and third digits. The input format (and thus our parser) must change to specify where one coordinate component ends and the other begins. We use static delimiters “(”, “)”, and “,” for this.\nλ: readP_to_S (char 'a') "foo"\nλ: readP_to_S (char 'f') "foo"\nλ: readP_to_S (string "bar") "foo"\nλ: readP_to_S (string "foo") "foo"\nThe <* and *> operators just discard the result of the parsers on the right and left hand side, respectively. The arrows “point” at the part of the sequence whose value will be returned.\nThere are two issues with our coordinate parser: it’s quite strict in the way it supports no whitespace, and it does not support negative values for the x and y component.\nλ: readP_to_S parseCoord "( 1 , 2 )"\nNote that we have to fmap the list cons operator to prepend the sign to the resulting list of digits. read for Int also supports whitespace around the number, which means option can yield a blank space character if there is no “-” in front of the number.\nNow we can parse negative numbers too!\nλ: readP_to_S (parseSignedInt <* eof) "-123"\nNote that we can use the Monadic sequencing operator >> and Applicative sequencing operator *> interchangeably. While in a do notation it might be more consistent to stick with the monadic operators.\nThe parser does not proceed to process input beyond the number of elements we specify.\nFunctional programming in Haskell centers around breaking down problems into smaller, independent pieces. Then using various means of composition to combine these pieces into a working solution. Parser combinators are yet another example of how we can achieve proper reusability in Haskell. Recall how we reused parseInt (and its derivatives) to create more complex parsers, which again could be composed to create even larger parsers.\nI really encourage you to have a go at using either ReadP or the many parser combinator libraries available. Some focus on performance and speed, others on diagnostics and error reporting.

Zynga, best known for its Facebook game FarmVille, plans to launch 10 games this year and wants to sell its headquarters in San Francisco as part of cofounder Mark Pincus’s broader strategy of bringing the storied company back on track.\n“We never set out to be landlords and we bought that (headquarters) building on the cheap. The prices in San Francisco are really high – we’re staying in SF. If we sell the building – we’re just exploring – but if we got the right price for it, we would just lease the building for a really long time,” said Marcus Segal, senior vice president of operations at Zynga.\nIn an interview with ET on the sidelines of Surge Conference, Segal said the online gaming company would look for newer ways of trimming costs as part of overall turnaround strategy and does not anticipate layoffs in India. Zynga currently has 250 people in Bengaluru “and we’re hiring,” he said.

Diversity numbers at most tech companies are pretty dismal, but some of the biggest players are using these stratagies to change the ratio.\nThis change quickly increased the NFL’s number of minority hires from 6% to 22%.\nCompanies like Facebook and Pinterest have adopted their own versions of the Rooney Rule, often translating it to the idea that at least one woman and one underrepresented minority be considered for every open position (sometimes, every open senior position).\n17% of all Americans are Latino, 13% of all Americans are black, 6% of all Americans are Asian, and 62% of Americans are white. 50% of Americans identify as male, and the other 50% as female.\nAccording to Fortune, LinkedIn is among the most gender-diverse of high-profile technology companies—at the end of 2014, almost half of LinkedIn’s employees were non-white.\nHow did it get there? One clue might be in this interview with Erica Lockheimer, LinkedIn’s director of engineering growth and women in tech.\nErica explains that 20% of her time—and therefore a portion of her salary and bonus—is tied to LinkedIn’s overall diversity goals.\n20% time is a cool strategy because it takes the mission outside the realm of just a select few at an organization and makes it something everyone can work toward, together.\nHere’s a cool strategy from Google: the search giant is embedding engineers at historically black colleges and universities, where they teach, mentor, and advise.\nSeeing yourself recognized and included in design is a powerful feeling, and Slack recognizes this in multiple ways.\nAs late as 1970, the top five orchestras in the U.S. had fewer than 5% women. By 1997, that number was up to 30%!\nWhat changed? Orchestras began using , where performers stayed behind a screen as they played, unseen by the judges. (Kinda like TV’s The Voice).\nAccording to a 2001 study, blind orchestra auditions the probability that a woman would advance from preliminary rounds by 50%.\nWe’re excited to explore many of these strategies at Buffer soon, and will share with you how it goes.

Randy Couture was born on June 22, 1963, in Everett, Washington, USA. His parents are Sharan Kin and Edward Couture.\nHis middle school education, Couture attended Alderwood Middle School. It was while there that Couture first began wrestling. When Randy Couture moved on to attend Lynnwood High School, he continued to play on the school’s wrestling team.\nAfter graduating from high school, Randy Couture went on to join the United States Army in 1982. While in the army, he continued to wrestle. He was on the Greco-Roman wrestling team. Couture was later discharged from the army in 1989.\nShortly before leaving the army, and for several years after being out of the army, Randy Couture continued to wrestle. He trained for the Olympics. He was an alternate for the United States wrestling team in 1988, 1992, and 1996, but he never actually participated in the wrestling event at the Olympics. He was also the NCAA runner-up in 1991 and 1992.\nWhen not training for wrestling events, after leaving the army, Randy Couture worked as the wrestling coach at Oregon State University. He stayed at this university until 1997, which was the first year that he was professionally involved with MMA fighting.\nCouture’s mixed martial arts (MMA) career began more suddenly than he expected it t. He was called in as an alternate for the MMA UFC 13 competition. He only had three weeks notice to train. Luckily, he had been in the habit of training for years before this. The competition took place in May 1997. He was a part of the Heavyweight portion. During this competition, he secured his win by defeating players beginning with Tony Halme through his final opponent, Steven Graham. Winning this competition helped to kick off his professional MMA career.\nHis next major competition was in October 1997. This time, he participated at the UFC 15. Again, he was in heavyweight competition. He was fighting to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Since he did not have much professional experience, not many people expected him to do well. Instead, he ended up defeating Vitor Belfort, which allowed him to continue in the competition. Two months later, he continued onto Japan to challenge Maurice Smith, who held the heavyweight championship. After an aggressive fight, Couture won the match and became the new championship.\nRandy Couture only held his championship for a few months before he lost it. He didn’t lose a match, but he instead left to join the Vale Tudo Japan MMA league. He soon left that league to sign on with the Fighting Network RINGS. He stayed with his group for a few months before he lost a serious match, which encouraged him to take a break from MMA for a while.\nIt wasn’t until late in 2000 that Randy Couture returned to the MMA scene. His first major re-entry into fighting was when he competed in the RINGS Kings of Kings Competition. As he made his way higher up in the competition, he defeated Jeremy Horn and Ryushi Yanagisawa. He later lost this competition when he was defeated by Valentijn Overeem. Meanwhile, Couture was also competition in the UFC Heavyweight Championship. He later won this competition after defeating Kevin Randleman.\nAfter winning the heavyweight title, Randy Couture spent the next part of his career working on defending it. He fought Pedro Pizzo at the UFC 31, where he first defended his title. This match was extremely close, but Couture won, keeping his title. He continued to defend his title through 2001 and into 2002. He lost the title in 2002 to Josh Barnett. However, Barnett soon later lost the title because it was discovered that he was using steroids. Because of this, no one now had the championship. Couture then went on to fight Ricco Rodriguez; losing this match earned Rodriguez the championship.\nShortly after this match, Randy Couture trained to make his way in the light heavyweight division instead. His first fight in this division was against Chuck Liddell. He won this fight, which also allowed him to win the UFC Interim Light Heavyweight Championship. He then went on to defend his title against Vitor Belfort. He lost this match and lost his title. There was a rematch for this title a year later, which Couture won.\nIn 2005, Randy Couture fought Liddell again. He lost this match, meaning Liddell took on the light heavyweight title. He would later fight Liddell again the next year, and he lost again. After losing this match, he officially retired from MMA fighting.\nHe later returned to fighting in 2007, even though he had previously retired. He returned to the ring in the UFC 68. In this competition, he fought Tim Sylvia for the Heavyweight Championship. The match was close, but Couture eventually won the match, earning him the title. A few months later, at UFC 74, he defended his title against Gabriel Gonzaga. He won this match and kept his title.\nShortly after defending his title, Randy Couture resigned from the UFC and retired from MMA fighting again, this for only about a year before he returned to the ring in 2008. He signed a three contract fight with the UFC. For his fights, he fought Brock Lesnar and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. He lost the first but won the latter. This encouraged him to keep on fighting.\nHe then signed a six-fight contract, which overlapped with his former three-fight contract. He again moved down to the light heavyweight division. He then went on to fight Brandon Ver, a match that he won. While still under his contract, he went on to fight Mark Coleman, James Toney, and Lyoto Machida. After losing a match to Machida, Couture retired again, this time for good.\nRandy Couture began his acting career in 2003 when he played the role of a fighter in Cradle 2 the Grave. He then went on to play other small roles in films like No Rules, Invincible, and Big Stan.\nAfter retiring from MMA fighting for the first time, Randy Couture went on to work on several sports television shows. For one of his jobs, he was a broadcast commentator on MMA fights. He was also the co-host of Before the Bell, as well as After the Bell, for a short time. He also worked as a coach on the reality show Fight Master: Bellator MMA.\nOutside of his sports television shows, he has also been featured on several other television shows, including Pros vs. Joes, The King of Queens, The Roots of Fight, Bill Nye Saves the World, and Hawaii Five-O. Some of the most recent films he has had small roles include The Expendables (1, 2, and 3), Ambushed, and Good Kids.\nIn 1999, Randy Couture helped to found Team Quest, an MMA training camp. Other founding members of this group include Matt Lindland and Dan Henderson. The company currently has locations all around the world, including in Oregon, California, and Thailand. However, the company is now primarily owned by Lindland and Henderson, as Couture is no longer involved with Team Quest.\nIn 2006, Randy Couture opened his own MMA training gym in Las Vegas. The biggest location for this gym is still in Las Vegas, but the company has since spread. The gym now has locations all over North America. Some of the other main trainers at the gym include Dennis Davis, Ray Sefo, Neil Melanson, Tim Lane, Kyle Griffin and Robert Follis. Couture is currently still involved with this gym.\nAll of Couture’s awards are due to his fighting career. Some of his most impressive awards (excluding his titles) are listed below.\nRandy Couture has been married three times. He was first married to a woman named Sharon in 1981. This couple later divorced in 1993. He later married a woman named Tricia. Together this couple has three children: Aimee, Caden, and Ryan. This couple later divorced in 2005. He then married Kim Couture in 2006. He has a step-child from this marriage. The couple has since divorced.

What’s behind the trend towards private search engines?\nIn the last two or three years, the search industry has seen a number of new engines that focus specifically on private search. Is this just a passing fad, or is it indicative of an increasing trend towards secure, private search? And if so, what does it mean for more mainstream search engines like the all-seeing Google?\nYou know, apart from the most obvious search engine. And possibly the second most obvious one too. In fact I’ll start again, what are the eight most popular search engines after Google and Bing?\nThere is a world outside of Google. But will we know what to do with it once we’re there?\nDuckDuckGo doesn't collect user data, which appeals to people as ad blockers grow. But the search engine's founder knows it'll take more than privacy to lure people from Google.\nSearch queries in DuckDuckGo can now be answered in French, German, Czech, and Polish.

Midnyte Reader: Author Interview with J.H. Moncrieff (The Bear Who Wouldn't Leave).\nAuthor Interview with J.H. Moncrieff (The Bear Who Wouldn't Leave).\nWhat is "The Bear Who Wouldn't Leave" about?\nShort answer? It's about a young boy's struggles with a cursed teddy bear. Deeper answer? It explores how it's human nature to be afraid of things we don't understand, and how that fear often triggers a very negative reaction.\nI'm inspired by travel. Almost every trip I've taken has resulted in at least one novel idea. Often, it’s a 'what if' question that inspires me. I usually feel like I haven't chosen the topic so much as it's chosen me.\nWould you consider "The Bear Who Wouldn't Leave" the darkest book you've written? Has it been the one that has affected you the most?\nI don't know if it's the darkest, but it's quite disturbing in a lot of ways. I didn't expect Josh's relationship with his stepfather to get as ugly as it did. Part of me was afraid it would be too dark for Samhain, but I had to be true to the story and the characters.\nI have what I like to call an 'organic' writing process. I'll get a bit of an idea from something, and within a few days, a character will show up and start telling me the story. My job is to write down what the protagonist says as fast as I can.\nMaybe it's my journalism background, but I'm a stickler for accuracy, which can often mean a lot of research. Thankfully, I've found a professional researcher I can rely on, so I no longer have to spend weeks searching for details like whether or not slaves in 1700s Dutch Caribbean had pillows, or what dental care was like in ancient Egypt. From my very first professional novel, I relied on experts--I have a list of cops, firefighters, stunt drivers, forensic anthropologists, and even oilmen I can count on for fact-checking.\nMy first books were epic tales of a fish family who lived in terror of a bear that stalked them under the ocean. (Apparently I've got a thing for bears!) I was five when I wrote that series, and hopefully I've learned about a little thing we call 'suspension of disbelief' since then.\nI think I used to fall into lazy writing when I was younger--characters that were caricatures, settings that were non-existent, etc. I strongly believe it's our job as writers to always push ourselves to be better than our last story--as long as we don't slip into the perfectionism trap.\nI love Stephen King, of course, but also Susan Hill, Daphne du Maurier, and the occasional John Saul. Barbara Kingsolver, Timothy Findley and Elizabeth Berg are my favorite literary writers, and I love Joanne Fluke's cozy mysteries. When John Douglas releases a book, I have to buy it--he's one of the first FBI profilers and one hell of a crime writer. I also love reading memoirs, non-fiction accounts about dark times and events in our history, and cookbooks.\n"The Ruins" by Scott Smith. I was surprised by how good that book was--it's simply brilliant, and very creepy. I also read a couple of short romances by Elle Rush--"Leading Man" and "Candy Cane Kisses." I don't usually read romance, but I quite enjoy her books.\nHorror is very freeing. I've written mysteries and suspense thrillers, but in those genres, readers expect the guy to get the girl (or vice-versa) and the hero must triumph in the end. I love that calling something horror means you can do whatever you want and get as dark as you like. If a reader picks up a horror story, they know that anything can happen, and that's pretty exciting.\nSince I never know how my own books will end, it's best to call them horror. That way, no one is disappointed when things get nasty.\nI'm working on a new twist on the sea-monster myth and a series of horror novels set in ancient Egypt.\nJ.H. Moncrieff loves scaring the crap out of people with her books--when she's not busy being a journalist, editor, book doctor, and publicist. In her "spare" time, J.H. loves to travel to exotic locales, advocate for animal rights, and muay thai kickbox.\nI love The Ruins and the authors you mention, but I've never heard of Barbara Kingsolver. A quick search reveals that she played in Stephen King's band, along with Amy Tan. Cool! Which book of hers would you recommend as a starter?\nI really like what you say about fearing what we don't understand.\nPoisonwood Bible, most definitely. It's one of my favourite books!\nI love that J.H. Moncrieff has a system in place for research. Some stories seem to be able to get away with a little stretching here and there, but when a story is well researched, it really does make a difference. Some of the best fiction, makes you feel like it's real.\nThanks so much, Toinette. Yeah, I can't just wing it with my books, as much as I would like to. If I'm writing about a period in history, I'm obsessed with getting the details right.\nSometimes this results in some pretty fascinating stuff. For instance, I didn't realize the ancient Egyptians had working plumbing! Or that west Africans had their own form of "voodoo dolls" which they believed could capture the souls of evil people.\nLife is stranger than fiction! Why not use it?\nJ.H.-It is fascinating! The ancient Egyptians also had anasthesia -- how cool is that!?

From wooded garden apartments to townhouse and duplex homes, Manatee Village offers residents a choice of remarkable living environments in southernmost Hillsborough County. Its companion Manatee Village SRO rental community even offers shared rental accommodations to the local unaccompanied workforce. From the modern metal work and Mondrian-patterned paint of the newest phase completed in 2010 to the original contemporary homes constructed in 2005, our 89 families can choose among spacious 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments and access amenities like our large clubhouse, computer learning center and library, and playground and sports courts.\nPlentiful residential activities from holiday events to homebuyer education to health fairs engage tenants and build a great sense of belonging – a valued characteristic of a Rural Neighborhoods’ community.\nSince the early 1900’s Ruskin has been an agricultural center with a unique beginning. The town was started as a utopian community, where residents not only farmed the land, but acquired an education at the Ruskin College. Until the early 1960s, this “Commongood Society” remained intact through depression and war. Today, tomato and row crop farming is receding to the east and south as real estate development rises from farm fields.\nStill more than half of this rural area’s 17,208 residents is Latino or African American – a sign of its not-too-distant agricultural past. The town’s transition poses economic hardship to its low wage workers as housing prices rise — 4 in 10 are rent overburdened paying more than 35% of income toward rent. Though Manatee Village is not a utopian cooperative in the image of namesake and England social critic John Ruskin, our affordable rents and generous amenities make it a highly desirable place to call home.

Donald Trump also continues to accuse Hillary Clinton of acting criminally in using a private email server to send thousands of emails while she was secretary of state, ahead of her failed presidential run.\nWashington DC: President Donald Trump wanted prosecutions opened against his 2016 election opponent Hillary Clinton and ex-FBI director James Comey, according to a report in The New York Times on Tuesday. The report, quoting unnamed sources, said that Trump's wish earlier this year prompted his then White House lawyer, Donald McGahn, to advise him to hold off, because he'd be opening himself to accusations of abuse of power.\nThe Times said it was not clear what alleged crimes the president wanted to order the Justice Department to look into. It said that McGahn, who has since left the White House, advised Trump that he could face the risk of impeachment if he took such a measure.\nTrump has frequently accused Clinton and the foundation created by her husband, former president Bill Clinton, of corruption. He also continues to accuse Hillary Clinton of acting criminally in using a private email server to send thousands of emails while she was secretary of state, ahead of her failed presidential run.\nTrump leads chants of "lock her up," referring to Hillary Clinton, at his political rallies. He fired Comey last year and accuses the former FBI director of breaking the law when he gave information to the Times about interactions with the president.\nThe report about Trump's alleged move to push the Justice Department into prosecuting opponents comes as he faces accusations of seeking to tamper with a probe by special counsel Robert Mueller into his election campaign's alleged collusion with Russia.

From aerial kite photography to historic walking tours, to bird watching and photography clinics, Refuge Interpretive Ranger Jennifer Heroux and a newly minted team of volunteer docents are offering a rich variety of outings in and around the Restoration Project over the next few months. Don't miss your chance to visit the ponds and explore the wild heart of the South Bay. Please check the Events on the Project website for a complete description of outings and dates.\nNovember marked the beginning of waterfowl hunting season at both the Eden Ecological Reserve managed by the CA Department of Fish and Game and the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Hunting in both areas is restricted to certain dates, times and locations. Safe wildlife observation opportunities still are available throughout the project area, even during hunt periods. Please visit the Project website for more information and to view hunting information for Eden Landing and the Refuge.\nThe Restoration Project continues to rely on input from the local Working Groups and our Stakeholder Forum members to help guide the planning and implementation of every phase of the Project. As we continue to implement the first set of Phase 1 actions, we are now asking the public to help shape our approach to restoration and public access in the next phase of the Project. In September members of the Alviso Working Group met to review the latest information about restoration, recreation and flood control issues in the Alviso pond complex and to begin to consider actions for Phase 2. And in October the full Stakeholder Forum held its annual meeting to begin a review of proposed Phase 2 actions throughout the Project site. You can find agendas and notes for these meetings on the Events and Meetings page of the Project website. The Project website also contains working drafts of Phase 2 planning documents. In addition to the comments we receive during public meetings we are also accepting comments regarding Phase 2 on the web. View current Phase 2 information. We plan to convene a meeting of the Eden Landing and Ravenswood Working Groups in early 2011.\nThe South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Science Team, headed by lead scientist Laura Valoppi, is planning the next Science Symposium for 2011. This event will be the third of its kind for the Restoration Project and will include a day of presentations, poster sessions and discussion about the latest science news related to restoration in the South Bay. The event will take place at the USGS Menlo Park Facility on Thursday, February 3, 2011. We will provide more details as they become available.\nAfter months of modeling and number crunching, preliminary conclusions from the flood plain mapping for the South Bay Shoreline Study are complete. The maps indicate that the highest damages from future flooding in the South Bay will occur in four of the Shoreline Study's 14 economic impact areas. The areas with the highest potential damages from flooding include: Matadero Creek to Barron Creek; Barron Creek to Adobe Creek; Stevens Creek to Sunnyvale West Creek; and Guadalupe Creek to Coyote Creek. As a result, the Army Corps of Engineers is considering a new, phased approach to completing the Study focusing on these four areas first.\nThe South Bay Shoreline Study provides an opportunity to secure Federal funding to assist in implementing the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project. Portions of the Restoration Project cannot be completed unless flood control levees are in place to protect low-lying parts of the South Bay shoreline.\nFall has been a busy time at the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project with a large number of habitat and recreation components of the Project completed or entering new phases of construction. Below is a quick summary. For an overview of all the activities planned for Phase One please visit the Track Our Progress page of the Project website.\nU.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein joined a large crowd of supporters in September to celebrate the completion of work at pond SF2. The 240-acre site near the west end of the Dumbarton Bridge has been transformed into a network of islands and waterways for migrating shorebirds with a large section of dry nesting habitat for threatened snowy plovers. Click here to watch video news coverage of the event.\nIn addition to habitat restoration, the site also includes a new trail and two new viewing platforms. One of the platforms includes a set of ADA-accessible binoculars which also great for kids to use. To visit the newly opened ponds, follow directions on the project web site. It wasn't long before ducks and brown pelicans began using the new islands. The Project is working to design a similar but smaller combination of managed ponds with nesting islands at ponds A16 and A17 near Alviso. The bulk of the design work on that Project is slated for next year with construction scheduled to begin in 2012.\nRestoration work at ponds along the eastern side of the Bay near Hayward continues with the first stage of construction to be completed in December. By year's end crews will have partially removed levees in areas slated for tidal marsh restoration (ponds E8A-9-8X). The next stage of construction will include completion of levee lowering and breaches to restore full tidal action in 2011. The sediment excavated from this area will be used to reconstruct levees around managed ponds (E14-13-12). The final design for the reconfigured ponds is to be completed next year and construction is expected to begin in 2012.\nAlthough it sits further from the Bay shoreline than any other pond in the Project area, crews are preparing the 330 acres of dry pond bed at A6 for restoration to tidal marsh at the end of November. Excavators will make four planned cuts in levees surrounding the pond during high tide. Because the pond sits so far away from the surrounding shoreline there is no good place to hold a public event for the breach, but we will take pictures and keep our readers posted. Similar to the Island Ponds, pond A6 is expected to develop gradually into full tidal marsh over a period of years.\nAfter a long delay due to issues with the transfer of land from Cargill to the federal government, a new 2.2 mile trail connecting the Shoreline at Mountain View Park and the City of Sunnyvale is now open to the public. Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, representatives from the Bay Trail, restoration supporters, agency staff and a colorful pack of bicyclists were on hand for the celebratory bolt-cutting ceremony in September. Click here to watch video news coverage of the event. One way to visit the trail is to start in Mountain View and walk or ride south along the Bay Trail to the newly opened levee. You can find directions to the Shoreline at Mountain View park on the Project website. In addition to open water views, the newly opened levee trail includes a rest stop with benches, interpretive signs and a pair of mounted binoculars for bird watching.\nWork crews have completed constructing the notch at pond A8 near Alviso which means the 1400-acre site is ready to be connected to the Bay in what is known as a muted tidal system. Project managers expect to open the gates on the notch for the first time in the spring. Construction was managed by the Santa Clara Valley Water District.\nWho Is Visiting the Restoration Project Now?\nMigration season is here and once again waterfowl and migrating shorebirds are flocking to various parts of the Restoration Project. Starting in the southeast corner of the Bay with the Island Ponds, which were breached in March of 2006, we have seen a steady increase each year in almost all guilds of birds using the ponds. Researchers continue to track increasing numbers of dabbling ducks and small and medium sized shorebirds. The only exception to this trend is eared grebes, which prefer high salinity foraging areas. These areas were eliminated at the Island Ponds when they were changed from salt making ponds to tidal ponds but the plan is to accommodate grebe habitat in other parts of the Project area.\nFurther west, brown pelicans and northern shovelers have responded to our invitation and are now roosting on the newly created islands at pond SF2 near the Dumbarton Bridge. Although most of the ducks have already arrived, managers expect to see a steady increase in shorebirds as flocks continue to travel along the Pacific Flyway through December. To view a recent report on shorebird migration numbers in the Bay Area please visit Documents on the Project website.\nIn the East Bay at the Eden Landing ponds, managers have been adjusting the water level and salinity of many ponds because of Phase One construction. As a result, ponds that are normally flooded have been drawn down over the summer and these shallow water ponds are now attracting thousands of migrating shorebirds and ducks. Large groups of northern pintails, northern shovelers, as well as more recent sightings of American wigeon, ruddy ducks and scaup have been reported.\nSome shallow water ponds were drawn down even further over the summer to create foraging habitat for threatened snowy plovers. Once the plovers moved on, managers began to fill these ponds, creating high salinity ponds (due to the effect of the evaporative draw down). These high-salinity ponds have attracted hundreds of less common species to the restoration site including Bonaparte's gulls and red-necked phalaropes.\nMudflats, also called shoals or tidal flats, are a very visible feature of the far South Bay environment and they serve an incredibly important function in the Bay area food web. About 2/3 of the entire surface area of the far South Bay is mudflat. Over one million shorebirds visit the Bay's mudflats every year making San Francisco Bay a site of Hemispheric Importance, the highest ranking, by the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network. Shorebirds using the Bay's mudflats include western sandpiper, least sandpiper, dunlin, American avocet, willet, marbled godwit, dowitcher, black-bellied plover, black-necked Stilt, semi-palmated plover, and long-billed curlew. Shorebirds feed on invertebrate organisms that burrow in the mud. As the tide recedes, this abundant food source becomes available turning the exposed mudflat into a large restaurant for thousands of migratory shorebirds. Organisms in the mudflat provide the fuel needed for long migration flights and to sustain those species that overwinter here.\nThere are many challenges to restoring natural areas in the heart of a major urban center like the Bay Area, not the least of which is trash. From plastic cups and bottles to rotting tires and boat hulls, Brian and Katrina Higgins have seen it all. On lunch hours, after work and on weekends, with a diligence that surprises even the most avid conservationists, Brian and Katrina Higgins have been picking up and hauling away trash from the Bay including South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project sites. Since the start of this year, they have been responsible for collecting and hauling away over 19 truckloads of trash. We caught up with them earlier this fall to find out more about their amazing contribution to the Restoration Project.

With the end of the 15th LokSabha, the RajyaSabha passed the crucial anti-corruption law the Whistleblower Protection Bill, which is one of the six anti-graft bills that have been presented by the government as potential efficient tools against corruption, almost two years after it received the consent of the LokSabha. The bill, which provides for protection of whistleblowers, will now become law after the president's assent.This bill, which was pending in the Indian Parliament for several years, provides for protection of Indian whistleblowers keen to expose corruption. India is among the 140 countries that have signed the UN Convention against Corruption. Even as 40 Indian whistleblowers have been killed in the past 5 years and incidents of harassment, fear and violence have been reported by whistleblowers across the country, activists of Right to Information have been protesting to pass this legislature.\nThe act of revealing information by an employee or any stakeholder about an illegal or corrupt conduct within an organization is known as Whistle blowing. In 2001, a suggestion was made by the Law Commission that in order to eradicate corruption, it was important to have a law to protect whistleblowers and thus, drafted a Bill in its report. In 2004, the Supreme Court, replying to a petition filed after the murder of Satyendra Dubey an Indian Engineering Service officer who was killed after he tried to reveal corruption in the Golden Quadrilateral highway construction project in 2003, directed that till a law is enacted, a device be implemented for acting on complaints from whistleblowers. In 2004, the government notified a resolution that gave the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) the authority to act on complaints from whistleblowers. 1,354 complaints have been received by CVC since 2004, from whistleblowers. In 2007, a recommendation for enactment of a specific law to protect whistleblowers was also made in the report of the Second Administrative Reforms Commission. In 2011, the LokSabha passed the Whistleblower Protection Bill, which was then taken up by the Upper House in 2012 for consideration.\nBroadly seen as an instrumental weapon for anti-graft activists exposing bribery and cheating in government practices, the bill when implemented, would create a legal framework to probe and accuse cases of corruption involving government officials. The bill seeks to provide for setting up a regular mechanism to inspire persons to reveal information on corruption or intentionalmisappropriation of power by public servants, including ministers.Besides setting out the procedure to investigate into the revelations and providing suitable precautions against victimization of the whistleblower, it also seeks to provide punishment for false or frivolous complaints.\nA disclosure can be made to the Central or State Vigilance Commission by any public servant or any other person including a non-governmental organization.\nThe identity of the complainant has to be included in every complaint.\nThe identity of the complainant shall not be revealed by the Vigilance Commission except to the head of the department if he considers it necessary. Any person who discloses the identity of the complainant will be penalized as per the Bill and also prescribes penalties for consciously making false complaints.\nThe definition of 'disclosure' has also been amended to include willful misuse of power or willful misuse of discretion, which leads to obvious loss to the government or obvious gain to the public servant or any third party.The definition of competent authority to which a complaint can be made has also been expanded. A suggestion was made that steps should be taken to protect those who had blown the whistle on corrupt practices before the bill was passed, to which Minister of State for Personnel V. Narayanasamy said the government has already brought a resolution in 2004 under which the CVC was permitted to protect the whistleblowers.

The rich volcanic and glacial soil deposits of the Willamette Valley are irrigated by a splendid river system and tilled by farmers who raise everything from goats to hazelnuts. These farmers make Oregon the seventh-best state in terms of the availability and consumption of local foods, well ahead of neighboring California and Washington. The people of Oregon have access to an exceptional variety of local foods and take great pride in eating local, to the point that the comedy series “Portlandia” made a sketch about it.\nAnd Oregonians aren’t alone. Since Oxford University Press proclaimed “locavore” the 2007 word of the year, the local food scene has exploded in communities around the world. Chefs cited locally sourced foods as the top menu trend of 2016, and local food sales are expected to nearly double from 2014 to 2019, topping US$20 billion.\nThese aren’t just people who like to eat local. Locavorism comes complete with a set of strongly held core values and beliefs.\nNotably, locavores support local food communities wherever they happen to be. A locavore on vacation in Orlando might venture out to taste one of Florida’s many locally grown tropical fruits such as papaya.\nAnd somewhat unexpectedly, our research shows that locavores do not care whether local foods are sold by large corporate retailers, so long as the “local” claim can be trusted. It’s the localness that matters most.\nLocavores want all of their food, even boring granola, to be locally sourced. And these aren’t just gourmet foodies with sophisticated palettes.\nGiven the importance of “local” to locavores, what it means matters. But the definition can vary.\nSome might think of local foods as those produced within one’s city, state or region. Others might focus solely on the physical distance between production and consumption. Both perspectives are valid and are manifest in the food industry.\nFor the purposes of farm lending programs, the federal government defines a food as local if it hasn’t moved more than 400 miles from where it was grown. Yet most consumers tend to think of local as within 100 miles or their state’s borders. The variety of definitions may be why characters in a “Portlandia” sketch opted not to take a restaurant’s word and instead visited a farm to verify a chicken’s localness.\nIn fact, deception can be an unfortunate issue within the sector, with some sellers outright lying about the origin of their foods. Yet because locavores are ideologically driven, they tend to root out the hucksters. Locavores’ increased tendency to call a farm to express gratitude for ingredients in a restaurant meal makes deceit difficult to sustain.\n‘Portlandia’ pokes friendly fun at being a locavore.\nlocal food consumption contributes to community.\nA second study, also among online consumers, helped us isolate locavorism from similar ideologies, such as hometown bias and anti-corporatism, by identifying locavores using our newly developed scale and measuring reactions to different scenarios. Examples include their food choices while traveling or when a local grocer isn’t available. We found that people we identified as locavores always preferred local food, even when traveling and didn’t care if the vendor was a national chain.\nA third study was a field experiment at the University of Oregon. As people walked through an atrium at the business school, we asked them to participate in a granola taste test and rate how likely they’d be to purchase some. Half of the 99 participants were told that the granola was a local brand, while the rest were told it was national – though they were actually identical.\nOne week later, we asked them to complete our locavore scale, which showed a strong correlation between those who ranked high and a strong interest in purchasing the granola – but only when it was marketed as local. In reality, all participants tasted the same exact granola. And so from this experiment, we were able to conclude that it is their beliefs rather than physiological taste driving locavores’ food preferences.\nOverall, the results suggest that locavorism isn’t a simple preference. It is a strongly held ideology, akin to politics or religion, that predicts what people eat, where they shop and how they respond to food advertisement.\nAs we noted, locavorism can’t be explained by simple demographic variables. To test this, we aggregated the data from all six of our studies into one dataset comprising 1,261 consumers and examined correlations between locavorism and the demographic measures we collected, such as age, gender and political orientation. We found only weak correlations.\nYet there is growing interest in the small-scale, niche farms that sell direct-to-consumer, a sector whose sales grew 61 percent from 2008 to 2012. Around the same time, the number of farmers’ markets jumped from under 3,000 in 2006 to more than 8,000 in 2014.\nEven more impressive, from 2007 to 2014 there was a 430 percent increase in “farm to school” programs that aim to educate kids about food nutrition and serve locally sourced food in kids’ meals.

Graffiti alley comes at you sort of wonderfully, like a something-around-the-bend actually worth anticipating. You’re walking down Howard toward North Ave, past the parking lots and weirdly high volume of car shops, and then you see her, about 12-feet off the ground. An image of a Muslim woman with a bandolier and a gun is pasted at the alley’s entrance like a sentinel.\nOn the opposite wall, a little higher up, “NO RULES” is scrawled in chunky beige font. That’s a decent summary of Graffiti alley, the space behind the Load of Fun building on the corner of Howard and West North.\nAfter a lot of wrestling with city officials, Sherwin Mark, the guy who owns the Load of Fun, was able to convince them to legalize graffiti in the block of alley. As long as it’s not gang-related, racist, or a phallus, it can go up.\nThere’s always someone throwing up a new tag or mural, so the artwork in the alley is never static. You can go one month and come back to a whole new space.\nGraffiti was going up before Mark got everything approved. But even though the community seemed to like what was going on, one day he and his co-worker Karly Fae Hansen went into the alley to find it painted over with white. They called it “heartbreak alley” for a while, but since then they’ve hammered out an agreement with the city and the walls are vibrant again.

CJ takes a bus ride home from church with his Nana on a rainy day. He wonders why they don’t have a car like his friend, Colby. Nana assures him they don’t need a car when they have the bus and their friend Dennis, the bus driver. He wonders why his friends don’t have to go anywhere after church like he does. Nana says she feels sorry for his friends that don’t get to meet all the people he meets on the bus and their friends at the last stop on Market Street. On the bus, CJ meets an old blind man with his dog, a guitar player sitting across from him, and a woman with a jar of butterflies. When they finally get to the last stop on Market Street, CJ and Nana get off the bus. They walk down a dirty street and past buildings with graffiti on the walls and boarded up windows. Nana shows him the beauty of the sky above them and the rainbow that arcs over the soup kitchen. When they arrive, CJ waves to the people he knows. Then he and Nana go into the soup kitchen where they help to serve the meals.\nWhether our readers have been to a soup kitchen like CJ, or not, they can all learn to appreciate the things they have in life and the opportunities they have to share with others every day, no matter what side of the soup line they stand on.\nAnd what better way to bring this story to life but to make soup for yourselves and for others. Here are some simple recipes even the youngest readers can help you make.

A life measured in words is a noble thing. It has the ability to stretch far beyond bronze sculptures, oil paintings, ancient pottery, fresco or tile, well into the future, nearly intact. It is a time capsule of a person’s most intimate secrets that can reach across eons. The poets inner life always exposed and raw. What I find spellbinding about Auden is his ability to surprise me, mid line, time after time. Auden’s work feels like he never wrote to appease anyone but himself. He never appears to be grand standing. There is a humbleness to Auden that keeps it refreshing and genuine. T. S. Eliot always strikes me a bit like he was writing to pick up girls and get laid. It has a falseness about it sometimes, that lacks sincerity, whereas Auden reads like poetry was the only intimate act between two people he ever considered.\nI wonder if the digital world will overwhelm posterity with mediocrity someday? Will Auden’s work be buried beneath the next thousand years of marginal poets creating sedimentary formations in the digital world that will obscure his greatness? Or will his work become compressed to be a layer of energy, like oil deep beneath the ground, just waiting to be tapped? I hope there will be men and women like me, every generation, who will discover Auden and keep his words alive.\nAn interesting thing to consider is whether English will be a spoken language in 2,000 years? Or will it become like Latin, an ancient readable, translatable text, that no living human being can converse or speak naturally. And if English becomes a dead language, how will Auden be translated? Will his ideas survive further into the future than the words themselves? And what will human kind think of this man in their new vocabulary that inspires them to evolve him through translation into their modernity?

Tineola bisselliella, or clothes moths, can be identified by the reddish-gold hair on the top of their heads, and golden hairs fringed to their wings. Adult clothes moths are about a 1/2 inch in length. They are not attracted to light, so you can find them in darker spaces such as closets where larvae is then produced, and feeds on clothing.\nClothes moths don’t travel far, they can usually only be found where the infestation takes place. They have a unique and distinct flying pattern by only fluttering around without a direct pattern. Until the larvae are grown, they stay in a silk case that will take the color of the item of clothing they are attached to, making it difficult to distinguish if there is a pest infestation. Larvae are able to feed out of either end of the silk case, and they feed mainly on wool clothing, or any fabric that has wool in it. They are also attracted to fabrics with the scent of food or perspiration.

May we learn to see the darkness not as a depravity of light but as a depravity of all the eye can see.\nMay we learn to see the darkness as a way to stop looking for outward things and a way to start looking inward. May this darkness bring you comparison not to bodily form, but to the shape of the soul.\nMay the enveloping darkness reveal to us all which remains unseen, the concrete fade and the abstract arise. May we see not the superficial of life, of ourselves, of others, but the depths and the worlds within each other.\nMay the darkness give not to moments where our thoughts are tinged with regrets, but to moments where we see patterns and movements, purpose and conviction invisible in the light of our lives.\nMay we learn to use the darkness as a time to use our hearts and not our heads to see the world, and in so doing find the light that was hidden before.\nMay this cold freeze our fears and turn our tears to light-reflecting prisms.\nMay it numb our heart aches and fill our lungs with refreshed life.\nMay this cold chill the gloating voices of guilt, the ugly taunts of shame, the puncturing nails of anger, the blackened hands of all judgement, the grits of impatience, and the hot coals of jealousy.\nMay these deep snows fill our paths not to slow our journey, but to slow our efforts to be perfect, to perform, to slow our pace, to calm our raging hearts, to rest our weary bodies, and in so doing rest our weary souls.\nMay the wind blow through us and not against us. And when it blows unhindered through a howling darkness, all those icy, chilled off corners of our hearts? All those places we haven't found the courage to let go of? All those patches of black ice dotting our souls? All those angry, tight-wound pillars of cold we haven't been able to crush but have ruled our lives with malice and hate, abuse and injustice, destructive mental health and depression? May the cold winds that blow this January take these places with them.\nMay we learn to feel the cold not as a thing of torment, not as a feeding ground for depression, but as a place where we can hear and see the silent exhale of all the toxic, all the harmful.\nMay we learn to see the darkness not as a place to fear, not as place where howling monsters arise, but as a place where we are free in the presence of the holy.

The Story: Newt Scamander returns, confronted by a new threat to the Wizarding World in the form of Hitlerian magus Gellert Grindelwald. The Lowdown: A tepid sequel to an unnecessary prequel that accomplishes nothing more than keeping the Harry Potter money press running for another cycle.\nThe only magic in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is that, through some miracle, I wasn’t forced to go to the bathroom during its egregiously long 134-minute running time. Other than that, it’s more or less what you’d expect — an uninspired cash grab that only exists to bleed the wallets of Harry Potter fans and unsuspecting critics. If you liked the first Fantastic Beasts, you may find the sequel relatively unobjectionable. If you didn’t see the first Fantastic Beasts, good luck figuring out what the hell’s going on here.\nThis time around, magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) is tasked by a young Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) with taking down the nefarious Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), who has some sort of plan for recruiting disaffected orphan wizard Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller). If you hadn’t figured it out from the title, you can tell Grindelwald is evil because he’s an albino with David Bowie eyes (as with most things in this film, the plotting is blunt and the characterization nonexistent). Anyway, it doesn’t much matter what Grindelwald’s plan really entails, because it’s not going to pay off until the next movie. Franchise building, everybody!\nBeasts scores some points by virtue of its prodigious budget, which allows for some pretty impressive effects work and some visually engaging set pieces. But that whiz-bang wow factor only goes so far when your narrative plays like little more than a two-hour trailer for the next film and your characters are about as emotionally resonant as the enchanted suitcase that drives much of the plot. It doesn’t help matters that the J.K. Rowling’s script exposits in all the wrong places, setting up plotlines for the next film while failing to give us a reason to care about what happens in this one.\nIn concurrence with my opinions on the prior film, this installment of Fantastic Beasts benefits from its period setting. Unlike director David Yates’ last outing in the Wizarding World, however, Grindelwald’s Paris setting lacks the specificity of the previous movie’s New York. There’s an anonymity to the geography that persists despite the arbitrary insertion of landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, and as a result, the film feels less well-considered than its antecedent. Still, the magic battles look pretty cool if you don’t care why they’re happening.\nSo, should you see The Crimes of Grindelwald? I don’t know. Do you want to find out what Johnny Depp did with his contacts from Black Mass? If you’re absolutely hellbent on getting some more Potter in your life, I guess this is your best bet — but why anyone would feel the need to beat this particular dead horse is beyond me. I guess there’s still money to be milked from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, so I’ll presumably be here in a couple of years complaining about the same paper-thin characters and talking about budgets and foreign box office and whatnot. Perhaps that’s the true crime of Grindelwald — no matter how bad these movies get, somebody’s going to pay to see them. Which means I’m going to have to review them. Thanks for nothing, J.K. Rated PG-13 for some sequences of fantasy action.\nNow Playing at AMC River Hills 10, Carolina Cinemark, Regal Biltmore Grande, Epic of Hendersonville.

Your Toyota Tundra is great for hauling and the extended cab provides a comfortable ride for passengers. But if you let your shocks and struts get worn, you need to replace them to keep the things you're hauling in the bed and the people you're hauling unbruised. The typical replacement guideline is 60,000 miles under normal driving conditions.\nLift the front end of the Tundra with a floor jack and support it by the frame with jack stands. Use a tire iron to loosen and remove the nuts holding the wheels on and set the wheels aside.\nUse a wrench and a ratchet to remove the lower retaining bolt holding the shock behind the wheel hub. Remove the upper mounting nuts and pull the shock or strut out from under the Tundra. Repeat this step on the other side of the truck.\nAttach the shock or strut to the upper mounting nuts in the frame and set the dial on the torque wrench to 47 foot lb. Tighten each mounting nut until you feel the wrench slip. Insert the lower mounting bolt and nut and torque them to 100 foot lb. Repeat this step on the other side of the Tundra.\nMount the front wheels and lower the front end. Have a professional check the wheel alignment.\nRaise the rear end of the Tundra and support it by the frame on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels. Locate the shocks behind the wheel hubs under the rear end of the truck. They look like tubes that slide in and out of each other, with one end connecting to the frame and the other to the back of the wheel hub.\nRemove the nuts and bolts holding the ends of the shock to the suspension and the body. Repeat this step on the other side of the rear of the truck.\nPosition the shock, and torque the upper nut to 15 foot lb and the lower nut and bolt to 64 foot lb. Repeat this step on the other side of the Tundra.\nMount the rear wheels and lower the rear end of the truck.\nIf you ever take your Tundra off-road, have a professional examine the shocks or struts for wear every time you have the tires rotated or balanced.

I'd like to have my 2002 Audi A6 2.5TDI Scanned, Since the timing belt change 3 months ago I notice very slight sensation of vibration in standing traffic every 20/30 seconds. No one else notices it but of course when you have had the same car for 3 years then you do feel slight differences. Although someone here has said it might just be a change in the characteristic.\nSo I bought a scanner of ebay £22 and it gave me the code 00542 - needle lift sensor which I have cleared and it hasnt returned, after some googling I found comments that it may be the connection on the 3rd Injector which just needs to be lifted and replaced and that's solved the issue for someone else. I really would like a scan if anyone can help me out to get down to the bottom of it before it causes any other complications, as the car has been serviced twice a year and runs great although not it has 176k on the click it has less poke than it did wheni bought it at 110k 3 years ago.

Dredging is the practice of removing sediment like mud and silt from the bottoms of lakes (both public and private) and reservoirs to maintain waterways. One of the benefits of dredging is that boats can safely pass through harbors and trade routes without scraping along the bottom.\nWhat many people don’t know is that this leftover dredging material can be reused to reduce how much is sent to Confined Disposal Facilities (CDF). While not all material can be reused (some may be contaminated), reusing dredged up sediment can help minimize the impact of dredging on the environment.\nLike the name suggests, topsoil is the top 5 to 6 inches of earth taken from the surface. The finer sediment in dredging material can be mixed with compost, manure, or other materials to create topsoil. For the best results, the silt from dredging is mixed with clay and sand to create topsoil perfect for growing lawns and gardens. Topsoil can even be used to improve drainage in areas of a lawn or garden that flood.\nLandfill caps and covers are used to protect humans and wildlife from the environmental effects of landfills. Dredging material can be used to form this protective barrier between compacted garbage and the environment. When it rains, landfill covers are designed to prevent water from seeping through layers of trash and contaminating the surrounding soil or bodies of water.\nOnce mining activities are completed, the landscape will need to be restored to support local wildlife again. The silt material from dredging can be reused during mine reclamation to build up the land and make it suitable for vegetation growth. Since dredging materials can be used to produce topsoil, it is an excellent candidate for restoring land after it has been mined of its natural resources. Dredging for land reclamation can restore land for humans and wildlife.\nThe Bainbridge lake dredging contractors at McCullough Excavating are dedicated to helping clear waterways for humans and wildlife. If you are interested in our dredging and silt removal service, give us a call at (765) 386-6514.

Build functional democratic civil society in Bangladesh with positive moral values in a sustainable empowered environment.\nProtiggya Parishad is a non-governmental, non-political, social organization working in Comilla district of Bangladesh to increase the marginalised groups' capacity for self competency and to build up their capacity to influence the decision making processes in the family and nearby villages.\nProtiggya Parishad use non-formal life oriented education among the underprivileged youths, women and men, to make them as opinion leaders in decision making process so that they can work spontaneously, out of social responsibility, as change agent. In the process, PP will contribute in creating a humane and active civil society keeping the cross-cutting issues of development in mind such as good governance, gender, human rights, health and environment. PP will contribute in eradicating poverty, both physical and mental.\nProtiggya Parishad ensures community participation in its all activities involving local government, local administration and people from all segments. PP believes that the power lies within people.\nWith a committed work force, strong partnership and network, PP strives to make positive social changes by complementing the national and UN�s policies.\nIn 1988, Protiggya Parishad, a committee of some committed people organized themselves in Bijoypur Union of Comilla district in Bangladesh to change the illiterate and underprivileged people of the area into a productive force of the nation. The population of the Union was 67000 (1985 Census Report). There was 8486 families of which 987 were absolute landless and 1226 families were marginal farmers (BBS 1995). PP with its limited resource organized the disadvantage youth of the area and provided education, skill development training and credit facilities to support in income generating activities of its members.\nThe vision of PP was to build a community where all people of the area should have mutual self-respect, love and affection for each other and they should be inspired to utilize their lifetime to develop their community as an �Abode of Peace�. �Education� had been taken by them as the vehicle to reach their goal. With the help of a local NGO, named �Nijera Shikhi�, PP established some community based literacy centers named Community Development Centre (CDC) in the project area and started credit program from their own support and from funds from a local NGO, named CDS.\nPP was highly encouraged with the philosophy of Grundtvig whose idea of education was to be non-formal as to teach a few things about life to the poor illiterate youth of farmer families. The vision behind his philosophy was to build a democratic society in Denmark, the idea which was eloquently adopted in other Scandinavian countries. In 1995 an appraisal team from FFD, Association of Folkhighschools in Denmark, visited the area and found them committed to reach their goal. In 1997, PP started Bijoypur Gonobiddalaya analogous to the Danish Folkhighschool which is still running with full flow under the name of Community School Project. In 2004, Royal Danish Embassy of Bangladesh extended their hands of cooperation and contributed another NFE project namely SPACE (School of Performing Arts for Community Empowerment) targeting the same target group.\nLocation: Public Library Field, Cox�sbazar.

You may be wondering how difficult a Master’s Degree might be or what kind of things you should expect. A Master’s Degree can be burdensome but it can be accomplished if you are determined enough to finish once you start. You may feel that 18 months or 2 years is a long time. From my personal experience at OLLU, I have seen the terms and semesters fly by. That doesn’t mean my academic experience was easy. It does mean that I was focused on finishing what I started at OLLU. I knew once I started it was going to be a long road. Being in my field placement now, I have experienced first-hand busyness from work, family, and the internship as well. The busyness has helped me to stay productive and has challenged me to not quit. There have been times when I thought I would put my graduate education on hold but I never did. It has caused me to not lose track of my end goal of obtaining a Master’s degree in social work.\nI would say that in order to succeed at OLLU, you need to have determination. Once you are determined, busyness will occur and challenges will come but you won’t give up on your upper education pursuit. What can help you finish your academic experience at OLLU is creating small goals along your academic journey. They don’t have to be big, but they should be reasonable and measurable. Once you have some goals set, you are able to track your progress.\nI remember in one class where the professor had us create a personal education plan of what we were going to accomplish in the semester that were connected with tasks. For example, one goal was to get the weekly reading done by Monday to leave me enough time to do the discussion for Wednesday. Another example was how I would I apply the theories I was learning into my social work practice. I made the goal that on Saturdays I would review my work week on which theories learned in class would have helped in that particular situation. I couldn’t do therapy as a SSW but I would think about what I would do differently if I could practice a theory with my patients. It was a very reflective process that helped me think like a CSW before I entered into my field. Small goals help you notice that you are succeeding and progressing in the MSW program.\nMy advice would be to be determined to finish once you start and don’t look back at reasons to stop your education. It might be overwhelming to take on the MSW program but creating small goals will help you see your achievements in the grand scheme of the graduate level. I know determination is key since it has helped me finish my degree even with work and family responsibilities.\nI remember taking many personality tests, and always seeing at the bottom "social worker" as a career option. I was surprised that this kept coming up. I eventually looked up what social workers do. I felt like this was my personal calling in life. I also liked that it was not just one field I had to choose from but many different possibilities that I could choose from. I am currently working as a youth mentor and supervisor to teenage boys in a group home. It has been great and challenging. I have also been a medical social worker working in an orthopedic rehab center where I learned to work with patients and their families to ensure both were taken care of. Outside of social work, I love playing early morning basketball with friends. I am married and have 2 beautiful daughters, one is 2 years old and the other will soon be 8 months.

Project Galveston is a 9 week leadership development opportunity. The aim is to grow as a Christ-centered leader with real world applications.\nHeath and Melissa enjoy ministering together on the college campus. As students, God used the ministry of Campus Outreach to impact and change their lives and as a result, they want to see others' lives transformed for the glory of God. The Purgahn’s are praying that God would continue to raise up laborers to be sent to the nations from students on the campuses in the Houston region.\nThis is the second summer that Heath & Melissa will serve our staff & students in this role. They are excited to see how the Gospel & these leadership opportunities the summer presents will impact the students for a lifetime.\nScott grew up in Waco, Texas. It wasn’t until his sophomore year in college that he learned what it looked like to give his life away and be a follower of Jesus. During this time, God gave Scott a heart for multiplying his life and reaching others with the gospel. He began to minister to his fraternity and watched some of his brothers start to know Christ. Scott is grateful to be apart of this ministry team and cannot wait to see the fruit God will create on the campus.\nScott is excited to be on the island again this summer serving the students and staff in this capacity.\nCampus Outreach seeks to build laborers with a commitment to Jesus and his Great Commission through evangelism and discipleship. Our desire is to see students leave college equipped to labor in the harvest field for the glory of God.

Health-Cut Revolts Flare Across B.C.\nCitizens fighting hospital hits are targeting politicians, the public and, as a last resort, the courts.\nTheTyee.caYou may have seen them in your neighbourhood. Lawn signs reading "We're watching you" and "How many surgeries were cancelled today?" are creeping across B.C. Signs that reflect anger over cuts to health services are just one tactic adopted by groups formed across the province in the past two years. Groups in the Interior, on Vancouver Island, and in the Lower Mainland are taking creative approaches to their advocacy because, they say, negotiating with the government and its agencies alone is a waste of time.\nThe Delta Health Coalition is one group whose members are tired of talking. Coalition steering committee member Al Webb says the community is still suffering from cuts the Fraser Health Authority made to the Delta Hospital two years ago. The coalition has lost patience with the boardroom, says Webb. "We are of the opinion that if we can create a big enough disturbance and embarrass this government in as many ways as we can, and embarrass the Fraser Health Authority, then we can have some sort of a reprieve.\n"After a failed campaign to recall their MLA Val Roddick, who they say spearheaded the cuts to B.C. hospitals, the coalition appealed to the Corporation of Delta to take the Fraser Health Authority to court. The municipality filed a claim in B.C. Supreme Court last February, saying the health authority is violating the Health Authority Act, the Health and Social Services Delivery Improvement Act, and the Hospital Act.\nThe health services available in Delta are not up to snuff, says George Harvie, chief administrative officer of the Corporation of Delta. "The mayor and council and the community are quite frustrated over the reduced services." Harvie says the cuts to Delta's hospital, including the removal of all 65 acute care beds, are costing the corporation, which must pay to transport patients to other hospitals. He couldn't say how much Delta is spending, because they're still tallying the costs.\nAt the urging of the health coalition, Delta city council set up a phone hotline in April for patients to call with their hospital horror stories. Those stories will be used as ammunition in the court case, says Webb. "What they're doing to Delta, and what they're doing to Deltapatients, is next to criminal," he says.\nThe lawsuit is a last resort. Community groups have met repeatedly with the health authority but without success. "[We can't] go cap in hand and say 'Please sir, may I?' That, with these guys, just doesn't work. You've got to smack them with a two-by-four a couple of times before you get their attention," says Webb.\nHe is hopeful the lawsuit will succeed. "I'm sure that council [would] not going to undertake a lengthy and costly legal fight if they didn't have some expectation that they might be able to win it."\nDelta isn't the only B.C. community to try taking a health authority to court.\nThe Nelson Save Our Services group launched a suit in July 2002, saying the reorganization of health services in the West Kootenay violates the Canada Health Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which state all Canadians should have equal access to adequate health care.\nRobin Cherbo, president of the Nelson SOS, says the society is collecting incident reports as evidence lives are at risk. But he says it's sometimes tough to get people to talk about medical problems - an intensely personal experience.\nThe SOS also has more than 50 volunteers who take turns sitting in the emergency room and observing patient care. Many patients lives are at risk, they say, because they are often transported to Kootenay Boundary Hospital in Trail, an hour's drive away, over winding mountain roads.Tara Wilson, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, says regionalizing health services in key centres such as Trail benefits patients, because it provides British Columbians with more specialists closer to home. Specialists are hard to recruit, and Kootenay residents used to travel much further to Kelowna or Vancouver for treatment, she says. Adding more services in Trail has reduced the number of trips across the province.\nHowever, two recent high-profile cases have bolstered the SOS's case. Thirty-year-old Demitria Burgoon nearly died last fall after her spleen burst in a mountain bikingaccident. Nelson doctors saved her life, says her mother Marilyn, by breaking the rules and operating on her in town instead of sending her to Trail.\nIn March, Edward Morritt died after being transported to Trail. He ruptured his spleen when he took a tumble in his Nelson garden. The SOS and Morritt's family claimed Morritt would have lived if services hadn't been cut from the Nelson hospital.\nBut the legal fees have become too much for the SOS. Their lawyers have also told them they only have a 50 per cent chance of succeeding if they go to court, and without the money to fund it the lawsuit has been put on hold.\nStephen Harris, communications officer for the Interior Health Authority, Kootenay-Boundary, says the lawsuit hampered discussion of the issues because the IHA won't negotiate with any group threatening legal action.\n"Their tactics have done nothing but alienate them," says Harris. "Those groups that chose to launch lawsuits are on the outside [of discussions]. And it's too bad. It could have been very different."\nBoth the Delta and the Nelson groups admit the lawsuits are a last resort. But they plan to keep collecting information from patients who come forward with harrowing hospital experiences.\nThe Save St. Mary's Hospital Coalition recently lost their battle to keep "a beloved community hospital" open, says coalition organizer Jaimie McEvoy, when the New Westminster building shut its doors on May 20.\nThey didn't file a lawsuit, but the group didn't let the facility go quietly. After erecting more than 3,000 lawn signs, the group commissioned an independent poll to prove residents opposed the St. Mary's closure. "We attempted to appeal to the government on the basis of reason, and that didn't work. We attempted to appeal to the government on the basis of conscience.that didn't work. So we went to pragmatics. We thought, maybe we can appeal to them on their own sense of survival," says McEvoy.\nPolling was a risk, he says, because the result was uncertain, but the gamble paid off. Seventy-eight per cent of 806 people polled in New Westminster, Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby said they were opposed to the closure of St. Mary's.\nTheir effort didn't save the hospital, but McEvoy says the public controversy put health care higher up on the political agenda. "I'd like to think we've made it more difficult for [the provincial government] to screw around with health care in our region."\nThe residents of Port Alberni aren't afraid of creating a spectacle either. After nine beds were cut from their hospital last September, a cavalcade of 200 cars took to the highway at 40 km/h, to protest that the drive to Nanaimo is too far to go for health services.\nMotorists caught up in the defiance honked their horns in support, says Bev Denning, chair of the Port Alberni SOS. "[We're] a nuisance value, and [the Liberal government] doesn't like bad publicity," says Denning.\n"The town did tremendous fundraising in order to furnish [the hospital]," she says. "We have a lot of pride in the hospital, so for the health authority to take nine beds was just intolerable."\nThey, too, have opened up a phone hotline to collect stories from patients who have waited hours for emergency care, or been transported around the province because the local beds were full.\nLike the Nelson SOS, they have submitted petitions to the legislature asking the government to restore services that were cut. But those avenues aren't working, says Denning.\nThe health ministry's Wilson says politicians in Victoria won't intervene in regional decision-making in any event. She says the government allocates funds to regional health authorities and regional district health boards, and they make the decisions about how the money is spent. It wouldn't make sense for politicians in Victoria to make local decisions when they're not sufficiently familiar with the region's needs, she says.\nDenning says the Port Alberni group is open to new tactics, maybe even a lawsuit. "We would consider anything that might be effective," says Denning.\nAlthough all groups say they are non-partisan, both the Nelson and Port Alberni SOS have the support of Vancouver-Mount Pleasant NDP MLA Jenny Kwan. She joined a rally organized by the groups outside the legislature in November and presented petitions from both communities demanding the restoration of lost health services.\nKwan says she supports the use of unconventional tactics. "People are doing all that they can to get the government's attention. As long as they're not hurting anyone. they're within their rights to exercise the democratic right, to make this government respond to them."\nB.C. Green Party leader Adriane Carr also backs the groups. "When you can't get your MLAs to respond to you with reasoned argument, then you just up the ante."\nHow long can these health action groups sustain their momentum?\nSave St. Mary's McEvoy says it can be tough to keep the public interested when the groups are run by volunteers, who sacrifice time away from their work and family and often underwrite expenses. "I think it's pretty difficult to do. But I hope more people do it," says McEvoy.\nNelson SOS president Robin Cherbo is a retired government employee, and has the time, but it can sometimes be more demanding than a full-time job. "I keep joking that I need to go back to work for a rest," says Cherbo.\nMoney is another huge hurdle. The Nelson SOS rang up $40,000 in legal costs, and some say they have little to show for it. The money was raised from the community, and critics argue it would have been better spent on equipment for the hospital than on a legal battle they have little chance of winning.\nMoney has also been a problem in Delta, says Webb. Another group, the Save Delta Hospital Society, spent $100,000 negotiating with the Fraser Health Authority, with no results, he says. When people see money "squandered" like that, he says, they lose their appetite for the fight.\nYet with groups emerging all over the province - including Kaslo, Castlegar and Revelstoke - some organizations are bound to persist. "In some cases it's very difficult for them to operate," says Webb. "In our case here, we have a very dedicated group of people who've been working on this for two years."\nWith the right people and a source of cash, the Delta group may even get their services back. They'll find out when they have their day in court.\nJanet French last wrote for The Tyee about living with anaphylactic allergies. She is currently an intern at The Edmonton Journal.

Historically, HR may do a paper-based exit interview when an employee leaves the organization in order to investigate employee turnover in a qualitative way. An HRMS gives you more in-depth data analysis if you can identify key data elements to capture as an employee is exiting. Further, an HRMS can provide or integrate self-service functionality to enable a former employee to complete an exit survey online later, as often more clarity can be gained once an employee has left.\nDoes a line manager or HR know what company property is held by an employee? While a laptop or corporate credit card may be obvious, what about home broadband, conference lines or any specialized equipment? Tracking such items in the HRMS allows for easy identification of them, and subsequent retrieval or cancellation of such services.\nOften, managers know of candidates internally who can replace an employee. Many times, however, there is a great internal resource who works in another department and is unknown to the line manager. Here is where your HRMS can really shine! If you are tracking education and skills, it’s only a matter to compare the prior incumbent’s profile with existing employees to mine the data and find ‘hidden’ candidates. Pain free recruitment is the perfect tonic for employee turnover issues.\nIf you store skills, certifications and training completed in your Learning Management modules of your HRMS, it becomes quite easy to see where gaps exist in the knowledge held by the former employee and the newly hired replacement. It is then possible to proactively create a training plan rather than waiting for such gaps to be noticed via on the job performance.\nHRMS vendors continue to create new offerings and improve their products. Many of these innovations focus on employee management so be sure to stay up-to-date on the latest HRMS products with the HRMS Software Guide.
