Our years of supplying dealers with merchandise shows that most reach this amount within their first couple months as a wholesaler. The reason we have the dealer fee is that we only want to work with serious business people and not spend our resources, materials, support staff, web design team, etc. on people that are just curious. The dealer fee is basically a good faith deposit that is refunded back once you reach a nominal amount in sales.

By DAMIEN FISHER Staff Writer, September 23, 2013
CLAREMONT — During a recent conversation with a student, River Valley Community College President, Alicia Harvey-Smith gave the young woman advice on her future.
"I said to her, 'there has to be an intersection between your passion and your purpose,'" she said.
The intersection of passion and purpose is an apt way to describe Harvey-Smith's new position at River Valley. The Baltimore, Md. native got her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland after doing graduate work at Johns Hopkins University. But she wanted more than degrees, she wanted to help people.
"I always wanted to learn more, do more. The dream for me was to be in a place to help others," she said.
Harvey-Smith is planning to bring about big things at River Valley. She hopes to see the start of the $2.9 million college renovation, and she is pushing for a new strategic plan for the college.
Her passion for teaching and leading drew her toward the community college system, where she could try and serve her purpose of transforming lives through education.
"It was basically the need to want to help others. I learned very early that that was through education," she said. "I watched so many students who had such a difficult time and it was only after some training and education that they were able to lift themselves up and their families up."
After serving as the Vice President at the Baltimore City Community College, Harvey-Smith wanted a chance to lead an entire institution. Two and a half months in as the President in Claremont, Harvey–Smith is looking to make an impact with the institution, but more importantly, with the students.
"There is something very unique about a community college student, she said. "Something special about getting students through process where many of them might have difficulty in another locations."
Harvey Smith wants the college to start planning for the future. The strategic plan she is calling "Envisioning The Future" has her reaching out to community leaders, businesses, students, faculty and staff. She wants to see the college respond to students and their needs, but also be a part of the community around it.
She is looking to form partnerships with four year colleges and businesses to create solid paths for the River Valley students. There have been meetings with Hypertherm and other industry leaders, as well as meetings with Keene State College and Antioch University representatives.
Harvey-Smith said part of the job of the college is to balance the needs of students on various paths, those looking for four years of college, or those looking for a new career.
She walks the halls of the college, talking to staff and students, getting to know the building. She's already had all-school meetings with the students and with staff, but she likes to also meet with them in small groups to see how things are percolating. She is even starting a student advisory council.
"I'm big on listening," she said.
The high-powered plans for the future only matter if they can connect to helping the students. She wants to see the school expand the service offered to students to help them on their path through college and into the work force. It always comes back to helping students for Harvey-Smith. That's why she studied for years for a Ph.D., why she went into the community college system, and why she came to Claremont.
"It's a perfect opportunity to impact the lives of students the way I dream of impacting them," she said.

I wonder what Juan meant when he said "instantaneous": I had assumed that the response came back from the server, but the app wasn't yet deployed. Maybe he thought that as soon as the mouse was clicked, the application would immediately be available, rather than having to wait until the response was received. Is there a possibility for an asynchronous deploy? I ask because I've seen some (badly written) applications that take several minutes to initialize. In these cases, could a request timeout break a deployment? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkp3YIsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDYnACfeJBiP6tblTaLSDYZwmT0C2wU I+wAnjxAppfwjaoBJqhUMXlp/9Xt2sip =6t5o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

SOURCE: Jobs for the Future
September 22, 2016 09:00 ET
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - September 22, 2016) - A new report calls for Massachusetts to better leverage available federal funding for a key issue -- juvenile justice reform -- which could help the state address ongoing challenges in this area.
The new publication is the second paper in a series designed to help support the Commonwealth to work more effectively with the federal government. Massachusetts has made progress in juvenile justice reform, but as this new report highlights, the state could do a better job of leveraging federal funding to provide more necessary resources. The report was prepared by Jobs for the Future and funded by the Barr Foundation, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation, the Boston Foundation, and the Tufts Health Plan Foundation. A third report in the series, which focuses on addressing the Commonwealth's healthcare workforce needs, will be released later this fall.
"If Massachusetts is able to better leverage more federal resources for juvenile justice reform as this report indicates," says Maria Flynn, senior vice president, Jobs for the Future, "the state then has the opportunity to help more low-income, low-skill residents enhance their skills, find good jobs, and advance in their careers. The Commonwealth has made great progress in this area, and this report identifies critical steps the state can take to build on this strong foundation."
"The Commonwealth must provide the support necessary for our most vulnerable young people to not only navigate the justice system, but to prevent them from entering it in the first place," says Senator Linda Dorcena Forry (D-Dorchester). "As Chair of the Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs, I will continue to work on identifying federal resources to bolster the state's efforts to develop and implement policies that focus on prevention and reentry."
Juvenile Justice Reform: Four Recommendations to Qualify for Additional Federal Funding
The juvenile justice system in Massachusetts is an intricate web of many stakeholders across several departments and functions in state government. At some point, the legislature could decide to overhaul the juvenile justice system. In the meantime, the report released today focuses on four recommendations in which more federal funding can be secured or expenses can be reduced:
"The Senate continues to take strong action to reform our criminal justice system through our commitment to build on reasonable, humane, best practices," says Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst). "We must ensure that juvenile offenders who make mistakes have a second chance to live a fully productive life and not return to a life of crime. The ability to leverage more federal funding will make a real difference in helping our young people turn their lives around by ensuring that they receive adequate support and services when navigating through our judiciary system."

I recently was able to try the Dirt Cake Lunchables with Oreo crumbs, from Oscar Mayer. These are small snacks made by Oscar Mayer that contain Oreo cookie crumbs, Chocolate flavored frosting, and gummy worms.
The Dirt Cake packing is nicely laid out. The gummy worms, the chocolate frosting, and the Oreo crumbs all have their proper order in the container. This gives it an easy assembly line feel. You grab a worm, dunk it in the chocolate frosting, and then finish it off in the Oreo crumbs. What I truly appreciate about these Oreo covered worms is that they actually resemble a worm covered in mud/dirt.
The gummy worms tend to overpower the frosting or the Oreo crumbs in this snack. The Oreo crumb smell is indistinguishable from the gummy and frosting smell altogether.
Most importantly, when biting into these Oreo crumb covered gummy worms, you initially taste the Oreos. Rapidly the Oreo taste is overpowered by the gummy worm, making you think if the Oreo cookie is actually a necessary part of this snack.
If you are trying Dirt Cake Lunchables just for the Oreos, like myself, I would not recommend it. But if you enjoy gummy worms, you will also enjoy this snack. This product would likely be very enjoyable for kids, as they get to make and eat these "dirt" covered "worms"
As far as a real Oreo snack goes, I wouldn't bother trying it.

I said a few months ago that I was having a crisis of conscience about showing L's cute face publicly on the internet. Oh well, that's all out the window because I can't resist showing his cute face.
We have such a lovely summer weekend, that I wanted to share. It was gorgeous summer weather - hot but not humid, and perfect for lots of outdoor time.
L. has been admiring bikes for months, but living in a fourth-floor walk-up, with no storage and no outdoor space, we weren't planning on getting him one. Recently, he looked at another child's bike and said "L. want bike". Obviously we melted and died inside. So, I did a little research and found foldable trikes for toddlers which looked like just what he needs. I settled on the Bugatrike and it is perfect.
As you can see, it has no pedals - and he doesn't miss them. He scoots around on this thing like nobody's business, and it makes me so happy to see how much he enjoys it. It folds up super small, and it's lightweight, so easily carried and stored (it even fits underneath the stroller when folded).
As you can imagine, this weekend we spent a lot of time outside on his bike. We went to the playground and the park and the playground again and the park again.
On Saturday there was a block party - which I guess we kinda crashed because it was not our block but the next one up. We took L. there to ride his bike on the closed street, and lo' and behold, there was an open fire hydrant.
We have tried to entice L. into jumping into open hydrants on hot days, or sprinklers, or the splash pad at the park - all to no avail. He is seriously suspicious. But the mix of other kids, a big puddle to jump in (and probably a certain episode of Thomas & Friends that involves puddles), and the excitement of the new bike: and he jumped right in!
After changing into dry clothes and shoes, we headed back out to the park to enjoy an evening picnic with a view.
|View from Sunset Park
|Tacos with a view.
Anyhou, an all-around lovely weekend. And bonus, H. took these lovely pics from our roof on Thursday night. Sometimes, living in this city has its perks.

How New Zealand Architects Are Reinventing the Bach
By Simon Farrell-Green in association with
Once, a bach meant a fibrolite shack, probably built from demolition materials, a tiny water tank that collected rain water off the roof and tents on the lawn for extra visitors. All of this is very romantic of course, unless you've spent a lot of time in one. It's not surprising, therefore, that beach houses are getting ever larger and more complicated – with the unfortunate result that coastal subdivisions are now looking increasingly like suburbia.
The following houses, by contrast, manage the seemingly impossible, showing that style at the beach means reducing the essence of a holiday to a few spare – but beautiful – details.
Screen time on Great Barrier Island
Among New Zealand architects, few have captured the charm of the bach so cleverly as South African-born Lance and Nicola Herbst. At the Timms bach on Great Barrier Island, the Herbsts reduced the design to rooms connected by covered decks, sheltered by sliding timber screens.
The living areas are snug for winter getaways – there is a fireplace for warmth, while in summer, the room opens up with sliding doors and louvres.
The design might be simple, but the detailing is exquisite with a layered use of different timbers.
Small but perfectly formed at Sandy Bay
At Waiheke Island's Sandy Bay, Julian Guthrie paid homage to the bach by splitting the building in two under one roof – you have to go outside to get from the living room to the bedrooms.
Cedar board-and-batten cladding and a simple deck complete the look.
It's still flasher than most traditional bach bathrooms, but Guthrie kept things simple here too. Instead of tiles, he lined the walls with Seratone panels which are easy to keep clean (because who wants to clean grout on holiday?), and lined the floor with timber decking. A repurposed claw foot bath – painted orange – is great for a long and relaxing soak.
Palytime on the Coromandel
With the Studio 19 Bach at Onemana on the Coromandel Peninsula, Strachan Group Architects used simple bunks made of plywood to house children and extra visitors – after all, when you're at the beach the focus isn't on bedrooms but getting outside and spending time together.
Built-in furniture is a nice touch – though it's also practical and hard-wearing. The house is lined with plywood throughout: it's a nod to traditional hard-wearing materials but it also reduces cost because it's self-finishing.
The bach was built by students as part of their architecture studies at Unitec – much of the house was pre-fabricated in Auckland and then assembled on-site.
A breezeway in the middle of the house provides access to the outdoors as well as much-needed extra living space.

It's National Mustard Day! The Mustard Museum has been the official sponsor of this event since 1991.I LOVE Mustard I love mustard on my fish and on a good corn dog or pretzel and I love to cook with it when frying my fish or chicken. But… okay… I'm not going to lie… it is very hard to pair Mustard with Wine… I'm just saying it's the truth unlesss… your making a Mustard Wine or pairing the Wine with a dish you cooked with Mustard. So this will be all about cooking with wine and mustard and then pairing the dish with wine! I thought long and hard on this today, hence the reason this post is so late in the day!
Chicken and mustard and Fish and Mustard are sooooo gosh darn good. So I chose Mustard because August is considered national Catfish Month… crazy right?
According to www.Surfky.com, Starting back in the 1980s, President Ronald Regan designated the month of August to recognize contributions that the United States catfish industry had made to the economy.
Seasoned Fish Fry
- 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt or sea salt for substitution
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dill
- 1/2 teaspoon preferred pepper (I use habanero)
Mix in a bowl and set to the side.
Wine Mustard (derived from a Whole Foods recipe I made my own)
- 1/4 cup brown mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup dry mustard powder
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup dry white wine (Try a Chardonnay, Riesling or White Port)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup sugar (or substitute)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper or paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Put all ingredients in a bowl with lid, stir, close lid and let sit. If possible make this the day before and let sit for 24 hours.
Put ingredients into a blender and purée until creamy. Refrigerate in jar after opening.
Mustard Fried Catfish
- Catfish Fillets
- Wine Mustard
- Seasoned Fish Fry
- Coconut Oil
- Frying Pan (cast iron preferred)
- Drying Platter
- Paper Towels (or a cloth napkins)
- Lemon
- Dill
Turn stove top on medium heat, put coconut oil in frying pan (enough to cover fish). Rub Mustard all over catfish fillets on both sides and coat catfish fillets with seasoned fish fry. Once the oil has melted and is hot, fry each fillet (more than one if able to fit them in the pan) until golden on each side. Place towels on top of drying platter and let fillets dry on top. Garnish with lemon slices and sprinkled dill.
Serve catfish warm with grits or salad.

Elite Ice Hockey League
CLAN returned home after five weeks on the road, but suffered an unhappy homecoming, losing 7-1 to Fife Flyers at Braehead Arena.
The Clan couldn't find a way to overcome a polished performance from the visitors, who are unbeaten in their last four.
Flyers had the better of the chances in the early exchanges as Ryan Nie, in the Clan goal, denied Evan Bloodoff and Ian Young.
The visitors took the lead in 14 minutes when Charlie Mosey evaded Zach Sullivan's challenge to move the puck to the inside and fire low past the Clan goalie.
They went two-up shortly after with a well worked move on the powerplay, ending with Chase Schaber setting up Bloodoff, who poked home from close range.
Clan's hopes of changing momentum were crushed as a penalty on Landon Oslanski led to a third goal for the visitors.
It was a second for Bloodoff who got the final touch as Cameron Burt couldn't stop the puck and the Flyers were up by three.
A fourth followed as on-fire Bloodoff completed his hat-trick to finish off another good move on the powerplay.
Then he made it four from him and five from Fife when his shot from the wide right somehow ended up behind Nie and into the net.
Todd Dutiaume's side added further markers with Schaber and Ricards Birzins, both shorthanded to complete an emphatic victory.
Tyler Shattock pulled one back late on, but Flyers' plundering of the points had been long confirmed by that point.

3d floor plans designs
Get a 3D Floor Plan Design for your Firm NOW!
3D floor plans designs depict a bird's eye view of the buildings. It is a handy tool that conveys architectural plans in a very basic manner to show to the clients, engineers, builders, financiers, or any other stakeholders for them to get an idea about the project in question.
Another important use of Architectural designs Services is that it helps the firms visualize the expected output at the start of the project. This helps the firm to analyse the mistakes, if any, and rectify it at an early stage. The added advantage of having a 3D floor plan is that since it presents all the amenities and fixtures beforehand, you can really plan ahead and make the project foul proof.
Generally these 3D plans are rendered to scale. Which means that it would include the walls as well as the floor, so you will be able to see your project as is from outside and inside, including the placement of doors, fenestrations and windows. But, the point to be noted here is that there would be a ceiling in these 4D floor plan renderings. The reason for this is that if the ceiling would have been included, it would obstruct the view of the entire model.
But you can request your outsourcing Architecture design firm provide to add furniture and fixtures in the project model. If you do so, you would be able to communicate your vision for the interior design in a much better way. This can be used for residential and commercial projects.

Scalable Medical Image Understanding by Fusing Cross-Modal Object Recognition with Formal Domain Semantics
Manuel Möller; Michael Sintek; Paul Buitelaar; Saikat Mukherjee; Xiang Sean Zhou; Jörg Freund
In: A. Fred; J. Filipe; H. Gamboa (Hrsg.). Best papers of BIOSTEC 2008. International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies (BIOSTEC-2008), Revised Selected Papers, January 28-31, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, Pages 390-401, Communications in Computer and Information Science, Vol. 25, Springer-Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg, 2009.
Recent advances in medical imaging technology have dramatically increased the amount of clinical image data. In contrast, techniques for efficiently exploiting the rich semantic information in medical images have evolved much slower. Despite the research outcomes in image understanding, current image databases are still indexed by manually assigned subjective keywords instead of the semantics of the images. Indeed, most current content-based image search applications index image features that do not generalize well and use inflexible queries. This slow progress is due to the lack of scalable and generic information representation systems which can abstract over the high dimensional nature of medical images as well as semantically model the results of object recognition techniques. We propose a system combining medical imaging information with ontological formalized semantic knowledge that provides a basis for building universal knowledge repositories and gives clinicians fully cross-lingual and cross-modal access to biomedical information.

Hydrocommerce Corner-Where Water & Money Meet
Brought to Investors by www.investorideas.com and its water investing portal, www.water-stocks.com
January 11, 2010 Edition
By William S. Brennan
Bio and more info: http://www.water-stocks.com/Bill_Brennan/
The never ending growing imbalances in global water supply and demand have been well documented over the last 20 years. Based on recent surveys, groundwater levels, reservoirs, lakes and other forms of water capture/supply sources are running dangerously low around the world, exacerbating an unquenchable and unsustainable water consumption/replenishment scenario with no solution in sight. Somewhat quietly in our opinion, water prices continue to rise well above inflation in developed countries, which should have spurned investor interest to a higher degree than what has taken place.
So where is the disconnect? Investment in the infrastructure-pipes, reuse systems, metering, and the like and even the primary source of our daily water-water utilities has been dismal to nonexistent. The EPA presently estimates that we are $600 Billion behind in US water system upgrades alone. No stimulus package or packages will solve the funding criticality that we are now facing. The only sources will be taxes on goods that potential foul or contaminate water on contact, a significant increase in your water bill that will reflect full cost pricing-energy use, treatment and conveyance to your shower head, bathtub, residential irrigation system etc and lastly, private funds (in the form of public-private partnerships) that have been active in other parts of the globe but have been given a relative cold shoulder here in the U.S.. While the rest of the emerging world recognizes that water infrastructure is critical for continued GDP growth, The U.S. falls farther behind in rebuilding our water infrastructure, there by jeopardizing not only our public health at the local level but our status as a key economic growth engine for the world as we enter into the second decade of the 21st century.
In the capacity of a portfolio manager in the water sector for the better part of the last decade, I always believe that there are two camps-the group that recognizes that opportunities abound for solution providers when problems arise and the second camp that relies on others to solve those problems for them. From an investor standpoint, the primary concern always comes back to the basic question that I have been repeatedly asked over the years - How do I make money investing in water stocks. With global water shortages looming and the availability of potable water continuing to dwindle, there will be significant opportunities for the companies that provide the solutions to these issues. Investments in water have been far below expectations but we see a changing mindset afoot. A greater level of investment will emerge in the next decade with a focus on areas where water shortages are prevalent.
A bifurcation investment approach of investing in developed countries where infrastructure is well established and emerging countries where the infrastructure build out is just beginning is a prudent approach. The underlying themes will include increasing the water supply through re-use technology (water recycling) and desalination where sufficient energy sources exist. Unless you live on the down slope of a mountain, water movement and treatment is an expensive proposition that investors don't fully grasp in the context of energy usage and requirements (we will cover this in our next article). In the U.S., Flowserve and Energy recovery are two companies that come to mind which should benefit from activity these areas. The meters area will be used to regulate and reduce our daily usage, whether it is residential, agriculture or industrial. With energy providers and agriculture being the two largest daily users of water (home usage surprisingly is below 10%), a renewed interest on reduction in usage in gaining momentum, thereby benefitting companies like Itron and Badger Meter. At the home level, be prepared in the coming years for a massive replacement of water efficient devices that Congress quietly passed in January 2008. This is mandatory for any new construction! Any appliances and plumbing fixtures that use water will be replaced by a more water friendly device in the upcoming years. Geberit and Pentair sit squarely in the middle of this event.
Lastly, water utilities should not be overlooked. Water Utilities/Utilities involved in water usage such as hydroelectric may not grow very fast, but they are remarkably consistent—delivering solid but not spectacular returns every year. This enables these stocks to deliver impressive compounded returns over time. Just remember what we consider a key point- we have never seen a water utility trade on a j curve! One must be valuation sensitive and be aware of local and regional issues when wading into the water utility investment pool. Seasonality, rate case delays, droughts can have a positive or negative impact on each individual company. As a value investor, water utilities will likely be our favorite subsector for the foreseeable future providing cheap, high quality companies with solid dividends that have a lower beta relative to the broader market, prospects for continued earnings growth, and the possibility for valuation multiple expansions based on increased cost for water treatment and delivery leading to higher water rates. In the context of what many professional investors are calling he "new normal" - diminished growth, deleveraging, and increased government involvement that will reduce profits and their eventual distribution to investors in the form of dividends and interest - we believe that water utilities could experience significant investor interest in 2010 and beyond. Why? Bill Gross, PIMCO's bond guru said it best in our opinion, validating our investment thesis: "why not just buy utilities if that's what the future American capitalistic model is likely to resemble." We wholeheartedly agree! In a low growth environment, it seems that a company's stock should yield more than its less risky debt, and many utilities, especially water utilities bought at the proper valuation metrics, provide just that opportunity. A basket of high yield water utilities such as American Water, American States, Cascal, United Utilities and certain Hydro electric companies such as CEMIG should be considered by investors that are in search of sustainable yield and stable growth.
Water investing is not a direct investment based on some arbitrary value per gallon of water, but a strategic investment in the many sub-sectors that are involved in its extraction, treatment, regulation, metering, conveyance and resource management on both the domestic and global stage. Many investors look at water in varying capacities: commodity, natural resource, alternative, and utility are just a few of boxes that water is placed by the investment community. Although water is continually referred to as the next oil, our approach has always remained that the consistent growth of the sum of the parts of the global water business will likely provide investors exposure to a historically solid growth commodity that no one can do without.

'My fingers,' said Elizabeth, 'do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many woman's do. They have not the same force of rapidity and do not possess the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault - because I would not take the trouble of practicing. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman's of superior execution.'
Darcy smiled and said, 'You are perfectly right.'

Family and friends gave generously in memory of Andy and the suggestion was made that a charity should be set up in his name. That charity has now been registered as Registered Charity Number 1098651 with the UK Charity Commission and is known as ALF, Andy Lanes Foundation for Pakistani children in need.
The obvious place to start the work of ALF in Pakistan was Dar-ul-Sukun, a home for mentally and physically handicapped children in Karachi. During the four years we lived in Karachi I had become a regular visitor to Dar-ul-Sukun and had come to know and love the children there. Andy and members of his 3M staff and other friends helped me in my efforts to improve the lives of the children.
The children are fortunate to be alive but much can be done to improve the quality of their lives. Dar-ul-Sukun needs people with the time and the skills to improve the quality of their lives in every area –medical, therapeutic, hygiene, diet, education and social interaction (talking and cuddling!). ALF wanted to raise money to provide these experts.
For 12 months ALF did provide a paediatric doctor but, after 18 months of painstaking discussion, explanation and persuasion, it was made obvious that the administrators of DUS were unprepared to accept any further input of trained help. They would accept "material things" but no more. As ALF had promised donors that their money would make a real difference to the lives of disadvantaged children the time had come to look elsewhere for a worthwhile cause.
We did not have to look too far! Many of our friends had contributed to the medical expenses for operations to enable a little boy called Mohsin to walk. Mohsin was born with dislocated hips and club feet. He is perfectly normal mentally (in fact as bright as a button) but was living at Dar-ul-Sukun because of his handicap. The operations enabled him to walk though he is still lame. In my efforts to find him a suitable home, one where he could achieve his potential, I discovered the Karachi SOS Village.
The SOS Village is a haven of peace and tranquility and fun and laughter for 160 orphans. The children live in cottages in the village compound. Each cottage has approximately 10 children and one "Mama" who cares for them. Most of the children have never slept in beds before or had access to clean running water, taps and toilets, much less regular cooked meals. Here they each have their own bed and cupboard, 5 boys in one room with bathroom and 5 girls in another. Every day they go to the SOS School which is built adjacent to the Village. The school is so well run that families from the local community also send their children there. After school the children go home to "Mama's" home cooking. Extra tuition is provided for any child who needs it and the children are taken up to matriculation. They are encouraged to go as far with their education as their abilities allow. The children have a home at the Village until they are able to stand on their own feet and support themselves; just as we do with our own children. Within the safety of the Village walls the children can learn and play, whether it be English, Maths, cricket, football, scouting, sewing, computers or the Koran.
It is into this caring environment of new brothers and sisters and a "Mama" that Mohsin has been accepted. At the end of his first year he was 4th in his class and happy and contented in the stimulating, challenging and safe home provided by the SOS Village.
ALF had found its worthwhile cause but how could it help? The SOS Village needed a medical facility where the health of its children could be monitored on a daily basis. ALF has funded the construction and furnishing of the SOS Clinic, which opened on 1st April 2005. A doctor and nurse have been appointed and the Clinic runs 6 days a week from 9.00am until 2.00pm. The Clinic will provide health care not only for the SOS children but also for the women and children of the surrounding neighborhood of Malir, which is an area of deprivation and poverty. Local people come not only for diagnosis but also desperately hoping for free medicine. Local pharmaceutical firms will be approached to donate some medicines but others will have to be purchased. A contingency fund has been set up for the purchase of vaccinations. It is hoped that soon a dentist will be available to provide regular dental check-ups and treatment.
The Andy Lanes Foundation wants to ensure that the SOS children
have the health care to enable them to make the most of the loving
home and education provided by the Karachi SOS Village. Will you

EDMONTON — An Alberta United Conservative legislature member who resigned abruptly is facing charges of sex assault and sexual interference with a minor.
Don MacIntyre was charged last week, but the case had been put under a sweeping publication ban that was lifted Friday by a Red Deer judge.
MacIntyre, who is 62, was a first-term legislature member for the constituency of Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, in central Alberta. He was elected for the Wildrose party in 2015 and later joined the merged United Conservative Party.
He left caucus Feb. 2 and formally resigned his seat Monday, just days after the charges were laid.
He could not be reached for comment Friday. He has not made a public statement on the matter except for a tweet on Feb. 2.
"Hi folks," he posted. "Resigning from politics today to focus on our family. Thanks everyone!"
United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney said in a statement that he and the party were unaware of the investigation until MacIntyre phoned them Feb. 2 to say he had been charged and was resigning.
"I was shocked and disgusted to learn of the serious criminal charges filed against former MLA Don MacIntyre," wrote Kenney. "There are few crimes more vile than sexual crimes against children.
"Our thoughts at this time are with the victim, who I hope will have strength and courage in the months and years ahead."
Kenney said that the United Conservatives supported a court application to lift the publication ban on MacIntyre's name.
Justice Glen Poehlman agreed Friday with arguments that the justice of the peace who originally ordered the sweeping ban had made an error in law.
MacIntyre was the party's critic for electricity and renewables.

Anyone maintaining a budget should keep an eye out for hidden fees on all of their bills – from utilities to credit card bills, and even your checking account. All of those extras can add up to what you could be using to pay down debt or put into savings.
No matter how diligent you may be at monitoring your statements, those fees have a way of sneaking in there. A recent MoneyRates.com bank fees survey indicates consumers may be paying more for their checking accounts and ATM use since the beginning of the year.
Since December 2011, average checking accounts at the institutions surveyed:
- Increased the minimum required to open an account to $408.76 up from $391.41 Increasing the minimum may force more low-income people to go without a bank account.
- Increased monthly service fees from an average $11.28 to $12.08, adding up to a a total of nearly $145 per year.
- Increased the minimum balance for monthly fee waiver from an average of $3,590.83 to $4,446.57.
- Increased overdraft fees. Overdraft fees jumped to an average of $29.23 to $29.83.
- Decreased number of accounts with free checking from 38.8 to 35.3%.
- Increased ATM fees both for bank customers using out-of-network machines and for non-customers using a bank's ATM.
Fees tend to vary according to the size and type of bank. For example, larger banks with more than $25 billion in deposites changed and average of %13.88 in maintenance fees, where as medium sized banks charged $11.17 and smaller banks charged an average of $9.87. Larger banks also required higher minimum balances to open an account and to get a fee waiver.
Small banks were more apt to offer free checking, with 45.8% no-fee accounts, compared to 21% free checking accounts at large banks.

Conversion of hydra-pneumatic hammer, the existing hydraulic driving system, pipeline system, cooling system, electric control system, operation system and striking system will be improved and exchanging
a new fully hydraulic driving system. The technological parameter is same as before after conversion. For existing hydra-pneumatic die forging hammer, we suggest to convert to PLC fully hydraulic die forging
hammer. But if considering saving cost, you can convert to follow-up control fully hydraulic die forging hammer. This kind of conversion can make ram stop in any position during striking, and with good
flexibility, so it is very good for some forgings with high requirement for rolling and drawing. But the
constant is not better than PLC fully hydraulic die forging hammer, and depends more on worker s skill.
After conversion to follow-up control fully hydraulic open die forging hammer,
its features:
1) single bar operation can realize ram slow up, slow down, striking, return, fast return, stop in any
position, continuous striking with different stroke and frequency, and its operation is simple and easy;
2) fine structure, there is not inertial empty in hydraulic cylinder, its action is coherent;
3) fast oil in mouse and fast oil out mouse are both control by servo, so it can avoid wrong action like
hydra-pneumatic hammer, and safety;
4) Main valve is with features of slide valve moving and taper valve sealing, to improve controlling and
sealing of valves mouse opening and closing, to reduce system inner leakage and heating;
5) Main control valves is servo valve designed by CFM, with wide application, and can meet requirement of 1-20 ton die forging hammer and 1-10 ton open die forging hammer;
6) System oil consumption can be monitored; when system need more oil consumption, many pumps
will with load; when system need few oil consumption, some pumps will with load, other pumps will with unloading. That can reduce pump and unloading valve unloading frequency and to reduce hydraulic
punching to improve their life(patent);
7) System is designed with over pressure and losing pressure protection. When main oil tube or piston
rod is broken, system will close main oil channel and turn off the main motor at once to improve system safety.

The world of dog showing is not normally known for scandal and intrigue, but this year the world-famous Crufts competition has been rocked by the news that one of its competitors, three year old Irish Setter Jagger, was poisoned at the show. Jagger died 24 hours after securing second place in his class for best dog.
Police in Belgium are believed to be investigating the death, which has left the owners "devastated", following the discovery of poison inside cubes of meat inside Jagger's stomach.
"It was dark red meat, it looked like beef. Inside there were small colours – white, dark green and black," said the dog's co-owner Aleksandra Lauwers, who had taken Jagger back to her home in Tongeren, Belgium, on Friday following his success at the show.
"The vet is convinced it is poison, possibly a few different types to make it work more slowly but efficiently. The people in the clinic also suspected it was poison," she added.
The dog's co-owner Jeremy Bott, from Leicester, told BBC Radio 4 "When the vet opened up his stomach, she found cubes of meat – some sort of beef-like steak – and they had been sewn up with poison inside.
"She thinks there were possibly two or three types of poison. I think she identified one as a slug killer. I would guess that the other would turn out to be a rat poison or some industrial type of poison."
Mrs Lauwers said she believed Jagger, who shows under the name Thendara Satisfaction, was deliberately poisoned by a co-competitior. She told the Telegraph "There is no other option, it had to have happened [at Crufts]. How can you mistakenly poison a dog?"
"Jagger was such a promising dog. He was just three years old but he was well known around the world. Of course if you are successful, success doesn't make you a whole lot of friends. I am convinced it happened at the dog show. There wasn't any other opportunity. It looked like an act of jealousy."
She recounted a number of "strange things" that had happened in the months before the show. "The confirmation of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place cards for the dogs went missing after he won at one show," she said "Then at the Richmond Dog Show in London at another competition somebody let his brother Pot Noodle out of his cage and he went missing for an hour."
But Mr Bott's wife, Dee Milligan-Bott, is less convinced that it was a targeted attack. "I don't believe in my heart of hearts that this was another competitor or anyone involved in the dog world," she told Radio 5 Live.
"I can only imagine that it was a random act that somebody premeditated and wanted to cause total distress at the best dog show in the world. It's not unknown for people to do things like this.
"He was a typical Irish setter, totally trustworthy and so loved. We are devastated."
Mrs Lauwers described the loss of Jagger as the loss of "our love, family member and best friend to our son".
She said that after celebrating their success at the show with the Milligan Botts in Kilby, Leicestershire on Friday morning, she and her husband had returned to Belgium with their four dogs on the train, arriving home at midnight.
"I prepared food for the dogs and I called Jagger to come over. He just collapsed and started shaking, it looked like a fit," she said. "We called our vet immediately. He started having diarrhea and urinating on himself. It looked like a heart attack. He went into a coma a minute later and died. The vet said it looked like poison."
Since then, reports have emerged of two more dogs being taken sick with suspected poisoning. A judge at the show, who spoke to the Telegraph on the condition of anonymity, said: "I saw one of the prize-winning dogs being sick in the ring on Friday.
"The lady who owned the dog was very upset, he is a top winning dog. His eyes were rolling and she had to take him to the vet. She thought someone had poisoned him, although she had no proof.
"Then there was another lady with a champion bitch who was sick in the morning, then she was ok when she was shown, and when she got home she was passing blood. Both ladies thought their dogs had been poisoned."
Amy Nettleton, daughter of Mr and Mrs Milligan-Bott said: "The accessibility of shows such as Crufts… is such that the general public can wander in and out of the dogs' benches and approach any dog, so to keep an eye on everybody who came up and spoke to the dogs is very difficult."
Mr Bott added: "They will hopefully try with the CCTV they have in the halls at Crufts but I don't think they will be able to find anybody," whilst his wife said: "The Crufts committee and all championship show dog committees will have to look at security."
Gillian Barker-Bell, the judge who placed Jagger second in his class on Thursday, said: "I can't believe anyone could be so evil or vindictive. Dogs have been tampered with at other championship shows so this is not a first. But I have never heard of a dog actually dying. What a sick mind to do something like that."
Sandra Chorley-Newton, the judge for Irish Setter bitches at Crufts, added: "This has shocked the whole dog community. The thought of it being another exhibitor is too awful to contemplate."
Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, told media: "The Kennel Club is deeply shocked and saddened to hear that Jagger the Irish Setter died some 26 hours after leaving Crufts.
"We have spoken to his owners and our heartfelt sympathies go out to them. We understand that the toxicology report is due next week and until that time we cannot know the cause of this tragic incident."

South Africa - The Cape & KalahariTour Code: ZAF14
A 14-day wildlife holiday to South Africa's Western Cape and Kalahari Desert, focusing on birds, mammals and other wildlife and timed to coincide with the colourful floral displays around the Cape.
This tour explores the wildlife of two contrasting areas of South Africa: the well-watered habitats of the Western Cape, and the arid Kalahari Desert. We will spend a week in both locations, enjoying the flora and fauna of the Cape of Good Hope Reserve, Table Mountain National Park, Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden and Boulders Beach in the area around Cape Town as well as the West Coast National park further north along the coast. Next we fly to Upington, 650 kilometres to the north-east where we transfer to the Augrabies Falls National park for two nights where we'll be based overlooking the spectacular Orange River Canyon and the Augrabies Falls. Next we head into the Kalahari Desert and from our lodge in the heart of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on the Botswana border, we'll have three full days to go in search of the very different bird, mammal and other species that live in this arid environment. Finally it will be time to leave the sweeping vistas of the Kalahari and fly home.
- Spectacular scenery of South Africa's Western Cape
- Cape Town, Table Mountain & Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
- Southern Right Whales & African Penguins
- Spring flowers in the West Coast National Park
- Dramatic scenery of Augrabies Falls National Park
- Explore the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in search of Cheetah, Lion, Meerkat & Bat-eared Fox
- Desert birds including Crimson-breasted Shrike, Violet-eared Waxbill & Namaqua Sandgrouse
- Expertly guided by one of our South African naturalists

South Africa is a country blessed with a wonderful variety of spectacular landscapes and fascinating wildlife. Where else is it possible to enjoy a morning watching African Penguins bobbing on the surf-line and Southern Right Whales breaching offshore and then, in the afternoon, photograph Lion, Southern Giraffe and Springbok to a backdrop of brick-red sand dunes and breathtaking sunsets? South Africa is indeed a land of contrasts and no two areas of this beautiful country are more different than the coastal mountains and plains of the Western Cape and the parched inland deserts of the Kalahari. This is especially true in late August and September, at the start of the austral spring, when the well-watered habitats of the Cape erupt into a kaleidoscope of floral colour. To the north — away from the tempering influence of the ocean — life in the Kalahari could not be more different. Here, the animals and birds that call this harsh, but beautiful, landscape home are in the midst of the long dry season and crowded around the few remaining waterholes awaiting the first of the summer rains. This exciting wildlife holiday offers the chance to explore these two contrasting regions of South Africa, at a prime time of year for both. We begin with a week to enjoy the spring explosion of life around the Western Cape, and end with a second week amongst the mammals and birds of the striking desert landscapes of Augrabies Falls National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
Our tour starts with a flight to Cape Town, a truly stunning city perched at the southern tip of the African continent. Here we meet our tour leaders and transfer the short distance to Simonstown on the Cape Peninsula, our base for the first three nights of this holiday. Our time here will include a day exploring the Cape of Good Hope Reserve which is part of the larger Table Mountain National Park. The reserve was established to protect the fragile and beautiful 'fynbos' flora which should be in full bloom during the tour. Flowering proteas attract Cape Sugarbirds and the beautiful Orange-breasted Sunbird, whilst mammals to look out for include Bontebok, Eland and Cape Mountain Zebra. We will visit Cape Point and the aforementioned African Penguin colony at Boulders Beach, and we will spend time watching the Southern Right Whales that come close inshore along this wave-pounded coastline between July and October. On our second full day we will visit Table Mountain and then descend to Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden which nestles amongst the mountain's eastern slopes and not only protects an unrivalled collection of the region's flora, but is one of the best birding sites in the Western Cape.
Heading north, we will spend the next two nights in Langebaan from where we will explore the West Coast National Park, a 27,000-hectare coastal reserve that is usually awash with flowers in the spring. Birdlife is equally prolific and should include Southern Black Korhaan, Black Harrier, Ostrich and the beautiful Bokmakierie shrike. Although rare, Caracal have also been seen here by past Naturetrek groups!
Next, we return to Cape Town and fly to Upington, which lies around 650 kilometres to the north-east. On arrival, we will transfer to Augrabies Falls National Park for a 2- night stay at a comfortable rest camp overlooking the Falls and the spectacular Orange River Canyon. Then we will head further north to spend three nights in a small and remote lodge in the heart of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Straddling the border between South Africa and Botswana, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park protects over 3.3 million hectares of the vast Kalahari Desert. This is a land of distant horizons and sweeping vistas, home to the majestic black-maned Lions of the Kalahari, plus Cheetah, Springbok, Gemsbok, Suricate (Meerkat) and Southern Giraffe … all backed by majestic brick-red sand dunes and some of the most beautiful sunsets in all of Africa. The birdlife here will be very different from that seen around the Cape and may include Namaqua Sandgrouse, Violet-eared and Black-faced Waxbills, Pale-chanting Goshawk, Kori Bustard and Crimson-breasted Shrike. Night-drives will open up a new world of nocturnal wildlife to enjoy, including Verreaux's Eagle Owl, Rufous-cheeked Nightjar, Bat-eared Fox, Springhare, Aardwolf and perhaps, if fortunate, the secretive Brown Hyena.
Lastly, a final night in a lodge at the edge of the park is required before we must leave the contrasting wildlife of South Africa's Cape and Kalahari and return to Upington airport for our short flight to Johannesburg which connects with an overnight flight home.
