There's a new trend sweeping local cuisine and we have two very ambitious entrepreneurs to thank for it. In a city known for its fries-there's a new side dish making waves. Since its inception in June of 2014, Heather Denning and Michael Genovy have been the dynamic duo behind OB1Pierogi. They have taken a niche market and made it a hot commodity.
Their product can now be found in five local restaurants (Dockside, Sideways, Limbo, Grind and Chow Ciao at last count). They are able to go above and beyond for restaurants, offering a unique Pierogi flavour to enhance and complement the existing menu. They offer a Pierogi of the month, with an existing menu of 11 flavours to choose from. In additional to traditional flavours like Potato and Cheddar, you will find the amped up alternatives – Potato Cheddar Sriracha. You will also see some unique Pierogi interpretations like Poutine, Reuben and Cheese & Pepperoni Pizza flavours. Some Pierogis of the Month have been so popular they have become regular menu items and bring such unique interpretations as Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar , Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese and Asparagus Bacon Onion Gorgonzola. In addition to the wide selection, Heather and Michael have taken dietary restrictions into consideration – teaming up with Junior Baker to create some variations with specialty Gluten-Free dough, and also offering some Lactose-free options.
Part of the strength of their model lays in strong collaboration with other Small Business owners. Heather and Michael were fortunate to team up with the Sarnia-Lambton Business Development Corporation when they considered taking a talent for Pierogi making (and at the urging of friends and family who had been enjoying them for years) and taking the leap to Entrepreneur. There, they were able to learn the basics of running a Small Business, creating a business plan and the due diligence required to bring it all together into one successful package. Their experience was so positive that they subsequently referred many others to access SLBDC services and take their own ideas from start to fruition.
While they certainly hoped that friends and family were right, they had no idea they would find themselves outgrowing their newly crafted commercial kitchen in less than a year. After a great success at the Big Sisters Show and Sale last year, they decided to increase their product this year – and they still sold out. In fact, they sold over 500 dozen of their unique goodies. During the warmer months, you can also find them at the Point Edward Moonlight Farmers Market. Additionally, they offer their product for fundraising purposes to community groups, schools and sports teams alike.
When asked what the best part of being entrepreneurs is, Michael cites the freedom to work their own schedule. Managing a young family played a strong role in the development of their business protocol and being the boss allowed them to incorporate their own rules (for example – "the stove turns off at 5pm" whenever possible). With the much appreciated support of friends and family, both promoting and cooking when needed, they have made it work seamlessly, avoiding the burnout and beginner mistakes that plague so many. At the moment, the only competition Ob1 Pierogi faces is of the frozen, mass produced variety which is available in supermarkets. One taste, and you can see why there really is no comparison! If you haven't tried them yet – you really must.
If you would like to know more about Ob1 Pierogi, you can find their menu and place orders directly from their website at www.ob1pierogi.com. They can also be found on Facebook, or can be reached by phone at (519) 312-7091.

I'm not enthusiastic about flogging this sickly horse; if you guys want to merge your businesses, you know, knock yourselves out.
Both companies should have been taken private years ago so they have some breathing room to reinvent themselves without having to worry about the innovation-killing tyranny of quarterly earnings growth. Maybe a hostile takeover of Yahoo! by AOL will be the tonic that both companies need to find a new direction.
However: Remember a few years back when Kmart bought Sears using a boatload of private equity dough? It was supposed to bring every Kmart store up to the level of value and service that Sears was known for. Instead, the takeover just sort of Kmart-ified every Sears store. I'm just saying.

Dr Anne Aly: "I'm not going to pretend that it's easy"
Dr Anne Aly is used to being first. The Federal Member for Cowan is, of course, the first Muslim woman to become a Member of Parliament. As an expert in counter-terrorism, extremism, and radicalisation, the Egypt-born Labor pollie was the first Australian to be invited to Obama's White House conference on the subject in 2015. (She was also the first MP to wear a halal snack pack badge in Parliament, no doubt incensing Pauline Hanson.) So just days after Labor's landslide win in the WA state elections — in which One Nation failed spectacularly — it only made sense to feature Dr Aly as our "first" ever THD interview. By Grace Jennings-Edquist & Mia Abrahams
How can Australian women build a stronger intersectional feminist movement?
I think the first thing to do is to recognise what we don't know — recognise where the feminist movement has, in many ways, failed women of color and minority women, and start looking at where those failures came from and why those failures happened. We need to go back and redress the fact that some forms of feminism and some parts of feminism actually alienated women of color in the past…
Even just talking about intersectionality is a really good place to start. Even if you talk from intersectionality, that's an inclusive thing in itself: You can't talk about it without having a conversation with the people it affects, and that way we start to bring more women of color and minorities into the conversation.
How has your conception of feminism changed over the length of your career?
When I was a young girl I started reading Germaine Greer, and I read a book called My Mother/ My Self by by Nancy Friday. I became fascinated with feminism and found it empowering. But as I grew into adulthood … coming from my background and being a minority woman and a woman of color, I actually moved away from feminism because I felt kind of disillusioned or disappointed by the forms of empowerment that were presented to me as a young teenager. I felt women like me were still having to fight for everything that [white women] already had.
It took a while I guess for me… to realise that my life has been privileged too, and it has been privileged actually because of the flow-on effect and the ripple effect of the things that white western women fought for. My access to university for example: Yes I had to fight for it … but the very fact that I could go to university as a women came from those previously fought battles.
One of the reasons it has been said Trump won was because the (white) working class felt disenfranchised. Is this a risk in Australia?
I think it is a risk in Australia. I think one of the issues is, you have people like Trump and Hanson coming out and saying they're anti-establishment. These people are 100% the establishment, they are quintessential establishment, they are quintessential politicians. And it saddens me that they are able to con people into thinking that they have the real solutions to people's disillusionment. Because they don't.
Being a woman in politics is difficult. How do you push forward through negativity?
I'm not going to pretend that it's easy. It's hard to ignore it, knowing it's coming from the fact that you're a woman and minority as well.
I think you have to deal with it by consistently putting things in perspective. There are actually much more people who want you to speak, who are happy to have a speak than there are hate-filled, boring, pitiful people who want to shut you up.
And sometimes you have to be conscious of wanting to take time out from the hate and focus on the positive. In our office here, we have a book and we print out every single positive email, every single positive message that we get, and put it in the book. I tell my staff: when we get hate mail I want you to read that book, because it will remind you that there is hope.

The Inside Scoop On Market America
Market America is the unfranchise business and claims have been made that this company has a proven plan for your financial success. The way the company works; they take the best parts of franchise and they cut out all the bad parts of a franchise. Before you raise your eyebrows in confusion; let me explain. Like a franchise Market America offers market tools, up to date management systems, customers are even offered the opportunity to own multiple business locations, this is only naming some of the tools a customer is offered. The bad parts of a franchise that were not up to this company's standards are this: no franchise fees, no monthly royalties plus there is little to no risk and very minimal start up costs. When using this company there are three ways for gathering your income. Cash back, provide products and leverage time. Now we'll go a head and learn more about the company and the company's credibility. The company was founded in 1922, over $73 billion dollars are generated in accumulated retail sales, some individuals has even reported that they earned over $3.8 billion dollars in commissions and retail profits!
Market America now serves more than 3 million customers and has well over 18,000 shop consultants worldwide. Loren Ridinger is the executive Senior Vice President of this company, the company has even had celebrities such as Joseph "fat Joe" and La La Anthony. Anthony claims the great thing about Market America's platform and World Conference are that they serve as a learning tool for entrepreneurs and helps them understand how to grow their own business and truly be your own boss. Doesn't that sound a lot like American dream that everyone strives for but not a lot of people happen to grasp?
An update from the company even promises new products, new technologies and new opportunities that will be added to Market America soon!

The idea of taking a year off before or after university is becoming increasingly popular in the United Kingdom. Popularly known as a gap year, this period of time out allows students to step off the treadmill of examinations and professional development to do something completely different.
Some young people take the opportunity to get the best-paid temporary employment they can find in order to save as much money as possible to offset the inevitable mountain of student debt; others grab the chance to travel around the world to find mountains to climb; others opt for a period of voluntary work.
Last year, a record number of university applicants - nearly 26,000 or about 7% of the total - asked for deferred entry so that they could explore the benefits of a gap year. It is not known how many graduates take a gap year at the end of their course but the University of Birmingham estimates that a further 7% take time out in this way.
Advisers who dismiss gap years as the preserve of rich white kids from independent schools will find some of the case studies revealing. It is well known, for example, that the Indian community in Britain tends to shy away from participating in such activity. Listen, however, to the experience of Aruna Sethi, who took a year off before starting a degree in psychology: "I knew that I would have a long path of studying so I decided to take a gap year in order to gain some relevant work experience and have a few adventures on the way! I managed to gain work experience in England, France, Romania and India. I slotted in a few days' travel in Italy as well. I concentrated on working with adults and children with learning and physical difficulties
My experiences working in a Romanian orphanage were drawn upon in my third year of university, when I formatted my dissertation proposal and then went back to the orphanage to carry it out.
"Gap years are not very common among Asian families. This may be because of the emphasis on education and qualifications combined with strong parental influence. Some parents may not see what you may gain from a gap year. My mum was happy with the idea of a gap year but my dad was more dubious and tried to persuade me to wait until after university."
Looking back, Aruna describes her gap year as the best time of her life, a time when she developed vital self-confidence and self-reliance skills. She also gained the experience that she hopes will help her achieve her aim of qualifying as an educational psychologist.
Not everyone, of course, enjoys such a positive experience but you should be able to build up a balanced picture from the many case studies in this well-researched book. There are also many pages of ideas on organisations to contact for detailed information on how to make the most of a gap year.
Could a gap year be right for your clients? They could do worse than to check out the answers to the light-hearted, self-test quizzes dotted around this book!

text: Took another swing at the tiles. Added some bricks to outline the top of the windows, cut off the bottom wood extensions so they looked like they were tucked into the building while also extending out, and I did a quick dirt blotch to lay under the brick texture. I'm not in love with it, but it is way better than I've had in the past. I think I'm going to make a door and some awnings next. That will make them feel complete and I can get back to character animation and maybe some enemy stuff. More to come. via Need Your Disease http://ift.tt/28J6jpw

Like many other professional sports, skiing has traditionally been dominated by men. With smoldering good looks that are hot enough to melt the snow she skis upon, Lynsey Dyer is more than a one of the world's most accomplished female skiers. This gorgeous American freestyle and big mountain skier is working to bring more women into the sport of skiing. She is doing this not only through her own increasingly inimitable performance and track record, but by co-founding an organization in 2008, SheJumps.org, that works to help empower females to reach their potential through challenging themselves in the outdoors.
Growing up in Sun Valley, Idaho presented Dyer with ample opportunity to develop her natural and obvious skill in ski racing. At just 16, Dyer became a Junior Olympic medalist in Downhill Skiing, but at the encouragement of her cousin AJ Cargill, a pioneering female freeskier in her own right, Dyer entered an extreme skiing competition in 2002. She won it, and then left racing and went on to take the top spot at each event she ever entered, including 2005's overall Extreme Skiing Tour.

Just something quick…
I'm sure I'm not the only one whose heart skipped a beat, and whose stomach flipped yesterday when the news of more Australian soldiers being killed was released. It upsets me every time I see that their has been an injury, or a death, but yesterday was especially hard.
SB was on guard, so he wasn't even here, and not being able to see him, and give him a hug, just to solidify in my mind that he's still here and that I don't have to worry, was hard. I can't even imagine how those of you with deployed partners felt…I'm sure there are no words.
I was watching the press conference (as I'm sure many of you were), and the news that five, not three soldiers had died was like a punch to the stomach. The actually story is usually better news than the first reports, which like to dramatise, but this one was worse; just so incredibly tragic.
A second blow came when the report listed the three, green-on-blue victims as being from Brisbane…ouch! That's my home…it might not be our unit, but Brisbane WAGS are the first ones I ever talked to, that's where I became an Army Wife. In fact, I think most of my readers are from Brisbane, since that's where I first linked this blog…all I can really say, is that my heart is aching for all of you and my thoughts are constantly with you.
The third ripple (I think this is a fitting description…for days after that initial impact I find myself feeling the fear and pain of the loss in different ways…like ripples), came this morning when I was reading news reports and ninemsn had a slideshow of our fallen soldiers. In between candid photos, are the official photos…we all have that photo! I have a photo that looks exactly like that sitting in my home; you all do.
As we're facing a potential deployment at the beginning of next year, my thoughts are with all of you whose partners are over there; I can't imagine. Yesterday was tragic, I'm at a loss for what to say, but I hope the families and friends can find some peace in all of this grief.
How are all of you feeling today?

Actress Gage Golightly has insisted she is not the mystery blonde involved with British pop star Zayn Malik.
The former One Direction singer posted an image to Instagram.com over the weekend (26-27Sep15) of him wrapping his arm around an unknown blonde, who bears a striking resemblance to his ex-fiancee Perrie Edwards.
In the photo, a topless Malik cuddles up to the girl and pouts his lips near her cheek, appearing to show he has moved on from Edwards following their split in August (15) after three years together.
Reports speculated the mystery lover is Teen Wolf actress Golightly, but the star took to Instagram to deny a romance, writing, "Hi everyone, just wanted to clarify that I am not the girl in the photo with Zayn Malik. But what a lucky girl!"

Sheds & Guns!
Shed has more history than the Museum!
The newly restored shed at DownsSteam Railway and Museum is for the use of volunteers to work on the LOCO 106 "Pride of Toowoomba" which hopefully will be finished in 2015 for the locos 100th birthday!
The full article concerning the shed and train museum is in the Toowoomba Chronicle on 19th July 2012. From the article the shed had many uses prior to its current use – and the original shed was purchased for use as an aircraft hanger at Oakey in Queensland (not far from Toowoomba)! The shed is not that special – except it was made in America in 1942 and shipped to Australia for use in the war period. The history of the shed is amazing – it was fabricated by Bethlehem Steel in Pennsylvania in 1942 nearly 70 years ago and with a huge effort of a design drawn up by USQ School of Engineering students, the shed was able to be reconstructed after many years lying at the old Bridge St quarry!
Now for the history the steel of this shed shares: Bethlehem Steel in Pennsylvania was America's second largest company that started in 1857 and finally filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and all assets sold. During the 1940's it employed some 300,000 workers with 180,000 alone in the steel ship building sector. Coincidence is that Bethlehem Steel produced this railway gun and also the shed in Toowoomba that houses a railway museum. This particular gun is now in a museum in Brazil:
Along with this spectacular piece – Bethlehem Steel in Pennsylvania was producing one naval vessel per day – which totalled 1,121 ships which was more than any other builder in the war period.
So this company that made the Toowoomba shed also produce huge numbers of naval and army guns at the same time, How did it manage to fit in such a small (by comparison) order for an aircraft hanger at Oakey in Queensland. Well it will be an interesting tour of the Downs Steam Railway and Museum not only looking at the 100 year old "Pride of Toowoomba" locomotive, but seeing the 70 year old steel fabricated at the same time as thousands of guns, ships and icons in America. One like this one – that Bethlehem Steel supplied most of the steel for the cable cars and tracks – always it comes back to TRAINS!

The Mondial Forni Turbomondial steam tube fixed deck ovens use gas (methan or LPG) or gasoil. The Turbomondial series is particularly suitable for baking medium/large size bread and any type of products requiring heating from bottom to top and large steam production. The Turbomondial series with one single deck ensures shorter loading/unloading times compared to the fixed deck ovens with separate baking decks allowing to cut the labour cost with the same production capacity and a larger production with the same loading/unloading times saving approximately 2 working hours compared to a fixed multi deck oven.
The heating system with steam tubes is different from the oil heted ovens because it is a sealed circuit (without leakage), very simple, without pumps, dampers and outside heat generator, very resistant and silent. It doesn't need any maintenance and is environmentally friendly, in fact the heating fluid is normal water.
There are four different types of loading and unloading systems available according to the automation requirement.

Lately, this vegetable has been on the menu quite a bit - bok choy, or chingensai as it's called in Japan. It's one of the cheaper green veggies available in supermarkets in Tokyo, and I love the mild, juicy flavor. This vegetable is a great source of vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, and many more vitamins and minerals. Back in college, I often used to cook it stir fried with mushrooms and meat, adding some seasoning such as oyster sauce. Lately though, I take a much simpler route and just boil it lightly for a few minutes, then dress it with ponzu sauce. The key is not to let it overcook and get too soft and mushy! The crunchy, juicy leaves are amazing.
These bright yellow-orange, slimy mushrooms are called nameko, and nameko miso soup is one of my favorites to make. I must admit I had my doubts about these weird-looking mushrooms at first, even being the mushroom lover that I am! But now I can't get enough of them. Like natto, nameko might have a flavor that takes some getting used to for those unfamiliar with them, but they are quite healthy and so yummy! They sell smaller ones and large ones in Japanese supermarkets, but I have grown quite fond of the large nameko variety :) Try them out for yourself if you haven't! (I'm not sure if nameko are available overseas, but I sure hope they are!)

text: Wind Mitigation Inspections Boca Raton Wind Mitigation Inspections Boca Raton Following Hurricane Andrew, Florida passed a law requiring insurance companies to offer their customers discounts and credits for existing building features and home improvements that reduce damage and loss from wind. In order to qualify for this discount, homes must undergo a wind mitigation inspection. Those with windstorm insurance can avoid a costly deductible. Deductibles for homes in hurricane-prone areas can exceed $20,000, meaning that mild to moderate wind damage might not be covered by insurance at all. If proper wind mitigation techniques have been used, these expenses can be avoided altogether. Wind mitigation helps protect the home from damage. Even if a home is insured, it is always costly when a house is damaged, both for the homeowner and the insurer. Repairs can take months, especially during material shortages that follow massive destruction to entire communities. Lenders in Florida require homeowners to carry windstorm insurance in order to be approved for a mortgage. Insurers may not provide windstorm insurance to homes that are vulnerable to wind damage. on all panels. The following features can protect a home from wind damage: opening protection: Glass doors and windows should be replaced with impact-resistant glass. They should be structurally attached to the building in order to prevent the entire window from popping out of its frame. Sliding glass doors are especially vulnerable to flying debris due to their large expanse. Once an opening is created during a windstorm, the pressure within the house can rise high enough to cause the roof to fail in areas of low pressure. roof covering: There are many kinds of roof covering materials, and some resist wind damage better than others. The most common roof covering materials in Florida are composition shingles and tiles. A key factor in roof covering performance is the method of attachment of the roof covering material to the roof deck. Nails, not staples, should be used to fasten these materials. roof shape: "Roof shape" refers to the geometry of the roof, rather than the type of roof covering. The end-walls of gable roofs extend vertically to the sloping roof line. These gable end-walls, if not properly built or braced, have been known to fail outward due to the negative suctions on the wall. Additionally, field testing has shown that hip roofs receive up to 40% less pressure from wind than gable roofs. roof deck attachment: According to insurance claim data, a house becomes a major loss once the roof deck fails, even partially. The most common roof deck types are plywood and OSB. The most important feature of the roof deck by far is the attachment to the framing compared to the deck's thickness. The following building techniques can help prevent wind damage: roof coverings using shingles that meet the FBC requirements; roof decks that have been installed with large nails and close spacing; hurricane clips/straps that hold the roof structure to the walls; and protection of windows and glass doors with impact-resistant glazing or other protection systems. roof-to-wall connections: This connection is a critical safeguard that keeps the roof attached to the building and acts to transfer the uplift loads into the vertical walls. This connection is crucial to the performance of the building due to the large negative pressures acting on the roof. Proper installation is essential to connector performance. secondary water resistance: This is a layer of protection that shields the home in the event that the roof covering fails. A secondary water barrier is relatively rare in homes. The two most common types are: self-adhering modified bitumen underlayment, which is applied to the exterior of all joints; and foam seal, which is sprayed onto the underside of the decking.

There's something special about the communal nature of an audience at a live performance, the shared experience with other bodies in a room going through the same thing at the same time, that isn't analogous to music heard through headphones. Often the fact of a massive assembly of fans defines the experience as much as whatever it is they have come to see. It's a social event, an affirmation of a community, and it's also, in some small way, the surrender of the isolated individual to the feeling of belonging to a larger tribe. Many musicians make music influenced by this social aspect of performance; what we write is, in part, based on what the live experience of it might be. And the performing experience for the folks onstage is absolutely as moving as it is for the audience, so we're writing in the anxious hope of generating a moment for ourselves as much as for the listener - it's a two-way street. I love singing the songs I've written, especially in more recent performances, and part of the reason I decide to go out and play them live is to have that experience again. Evolutionary biologist Richard Prum proposes that birds don't just sing to attract mates and to define their territory; they sometimes sing for the sheer joy of it. I don't want it to have to happen only once, in the recording studio, and then have that moment get packed away as a memory. I want to relive it, as one can onstage, over and over. It's kind of glorious and surprising that the catharsis happens reliably, repeatedly, but it does. - David Byrne, How Music Works

Last Sunday was my sister's birthday. I woke up bright and early on Saturday (early because my butter was tragically frozen solid the night before), determined to whip up her favorite birthday combo: yellow cake and chocolate frosting. I don't know about you, but I can bounce out of bed before sunrise if it means I get to play around with cake batter and frosting.
It was a lovely Saturday morning. Sprinkles and frosting abounded. And then Gabe, his best friend, my sister, and I all drove down to our old college town to frolic in the sunshine.
And then something bigger than yellow cupcakes and chocolate buttercream happened.
This quiet weekend suddenly became a dizzying combo of laughter, tears, champagne, ridiculously good food, balloons, candles, racing hearts, and giddy joy.
And at the end of it all, bleary-eyed and overjoyed, I snuggled up to my guy and enjoyed a leftover cupcake with chocolate frosting. Simply perfect.
Yellow Cupcakes
- 3 cups flour
- 1 Tbs. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs and 4 large egg yolks
- 1 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- 1 Tbs. vanilla extract

When ``Shenandoah'' opened on Broadway in 1974, many praised the show for its morality, its music and its performances, especially that of John Cullum, who won a Tony award for his portrayal of a pacifist father during the Civil War.
But others thought the saga, based on the 1965 Jimmy Stewart film, was sprawling, melodramatic and sentimental. The emotional climax involved the sudden return of a brave little boy on crutches who limps up a church aisle to his family as the congregation sings hymns.

Another 400,000 civilians have fled the violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
President Obama: Rapid Action Needed on Central Africa Violence
(Washington, DC, November 25, 2010) – President Barack Obama should move swiftly to implement a strategy released on November 24, 2010, to stop atrocities committed by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and help affected communities rebuild, a coalition of seven human rights groups said today. The rebel group has carried out one of the world's longest-running and most brutal insurgencies.
"President Obama's team has done an admirable job in formulating a strategy and demonstrating commitment to address the LRA scourge, but the challenge now is to turn this piece of paper into improvements on the ground," said Paul Ronan, director of advocacy at Resolve. "The president should seek a significant boost in resources in his FY 2012 budget request to address this crisis and then designate a senior State Department official to oversee the strategy's implementation."
LRA violence has plagued central Africa for more than two decades, and is on the increase. During the last two years, the LRA has killed at least 2,300 people and abducted over 3,000 more, including many children. Another 400,000 civilians have fled the violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), southern Sudan, and Central African Republic. Over that period of time, the LRA has killed and abducted more civilians than any other armed group in the DRC. In 2010 alone, LRA rebels have committed more than 240 deadly attacks.
"Halting the LRA threat to civilians and catching its leaders who are wanted for war crimes is achievable with political will and the right resources," said Anneke Van Woudenberg, senior Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. "The LRA has no popular or state support and is only able to replenish its ranks by snatching children from their villages."
The Obama administration strategy outlines four primary goals for US engagement with the crisis, including stopping LRA leaders, protecting civilians from LRA attacks, encouraging escape and defection from the LRA, and providing humanitarian assistance to affected communities. It emphasizes an interagency approach and coordination with multilateral and regional partners, and raises the possibility of designating additional personnel within the administration to carry out the strategy.
The hallmark of LRA attacks is extreme brutality, targeting the most vulnerable villages. Even small-scale attacks have sent waves of terror throughout communities, causing serious suffering and mass displacement and traumatizing people for years to come. President Obama's LRA strategy rightly recognizes the need to increase humanitarian assistance to people affected by the LRA, the groups said.
"The LRA attacks are a huge threat to civilians and to regional peace and stability," said Monica Serrano, executive director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. "The international response has been woefully inadequate. The new US strategy is a chance to bring countries together to end the LRA's brutal reign, putting the protection of civilians at the heart of the effort."
The LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act was the most widely supported, Africa-specific legislation in recent US Congressional history. The law was cosponsored by a bipartisan group of 65 Senators and 201 Representatives, representing 49 states. Tens of thousands of Americans, including many young people, mobilized to support the legislation.
"Thanks to unprecedented grassroots mobilization and bipartisan Congressional leadership, president Obama has a clear mandate to help bring a long overdue end to this crisis. Now there is an urgent need to move quickly on implementing the strategy and ending the LRA's threat to civilians," said David Sullivan, research director, Enough Project.

To compare trends in the estimated prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders identified from two data sources (self-report and administrative). Reviewing, synthesising and interpreting data from these two sources will help identify potential factors that underlie the observed estimates and inform public health action.
We used self-reported, diagnosed mood and/or anxiety disorder cases from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) across a 5-year span (from 2003 to 2009) to estimate the prevalence among the Canadian population aged ≥15 years. We also estimated the prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders using the Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System (CCDSS), which identified cases using ICD-9/-10-CA codes from physician billing claims and hospital discharge records during the same time period. The prevalence rates for mood and/or anxiety disorders were compared across the CCHS and CCDSS by age and sex for all available years of data from 2003 to 2009. Summary rates were age-standardised to the Canadian population as of 1 October 1991.
In 2009, the prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders was 9.4% using self-reported data v. 11.3% using administrative data. Prevalence rates obtained from administrative data were consistently higher than those from self-report for both men and women. However, due to an increase in the prevalence of self-reported cases, these differences decreased over time (rate ratios for both sexes: 1.6–1.2). Prevalence estimates were consistently higher among females compared with males irrespective of data source. While differences in the prevalence estimates between the two data sources were evident across all age groups, the reduction of these differences was greater among adolescent, young and middle-aged adults compared with those 70 years and older.
The overall narrowing of differences over time reflects a convergence of information regarding the prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders trends between self-report and administrative data sources. While the administrative data-based prevalences remained relatively stable, the self-reported prevalences increased over time. These observations may reflect positive societal changes in the perceptions of mental health (declining stigma) and/or increasing mental health literacy. Additional research using non-ecological data is required to further our understanding of the observed findings and trends, including a data linkage exercise permitting a comparison of prevalence estimates and population characteristics from these two data sources both separately and merged.

Thought for The Day - Pre-Dawn Light
It's 5:00 am. Years ago, living with my parents, occasionally, I would wake early enough to see my father before he left for work. He had a routine: get up at 5:00, shower, get dressed, read the bible, eat a little breakfast and be out the door by 5:30. I thought that was early, way too early for me. I worked at the factory where he was a manager, one summer, which meant I had to get up a few minutes after he did. I remember thinking it was okay, at first, and by the end of the summer, I couldn't wait to get up at my normal time.
I'm past my father's age, when I worked with him that summer. And I rise much earlier than he did. I'm out the door at 5:15 thereabouts, but I'm on my way to the gym. I exercise for about an hour and then it's off to work.
A few years ago, I took classes toward a masters in Counseling. There were mornings I either didn't go to bed or I work early to study and write. Now the routine is ingrained in my psyche: rise early, get work done and prepare for the day.
We really do become our parents, don't we?

Maxis subscribers can now surf on AirAsia
KUALA LUMPUR, 7 OCTOBER 2010 -- Subscribers of communications provider Maxis can now make in-flight calls and access data at cheaper rates on AirAsia flights, as a result of a partnership, said the companies.
"Maxis' association with Bridge Alliance, the leading and largest alliance in the Asia Pacific, enables us to offer preferred data roaming rates to 11 operators in 10 countries. Maxis customers stand to save up to 90 per cent on costs while roaming through Bridge Alliance," said Maxis chief operating officer, Jean-Pascal van Overbeke.
"Maxis is also the only Malaysian mobile operator to offer daily data roaming plans to countries in the Middle East and the only Malaysian operator to offer exclusive preferential data roaming plans to its Blackberry users in 24 countries," said van Overbeke.
He said special in-flight roaming rates for Maxis users included RM11 (US$3.55) per minute for calls, RM2 (65 US cents) per SMS, and RM25 (US$8.07) per MB. "As an added enticement to use this service, randomly selected lucky Maxis users who switch on their mobile devices during their flight will receive an SMS that will entitle them to redeem a free drink onboard the flight."
"As a result of this new partnership, Maxis customers flying on AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur Low Cost Carrier Terminal would be able to stay connected with their friends, family and business colleagues en route to their overseas destinations using their own GSM mobile phones or smartphones," said van Overbeke.
Next step - AirAsia X
This is another revolutionary service convenience in the region from AirAsia and echoes our commitment providing guests with the best services," said AirAsia X chief executive officer, Azran Osman-Rani.
"At this trial stage, AirAsia has equipped four out of its 96 fleet of A320 with the GSMOB (GSM onboard) system to selected Southeast Asian routes from the Low Cost Carrier Terminal," said Azran. "The installation of the GSMOB system has proven that it does not compromise the airworthiness of the aircraft at any stage of the flight as it has undergone a rigorous certification process by aviation authorities. AirAsia considers safety to be the most important aspect of its operations and is stringent about complying with the highest international standards and procedures."
"Moving forward, we are looking at introducing this great innovation to our long-haul flights, which are serviced by AirAsia X, he said.
OnAir is very pleased to be working with AirAsia in entering a high-potential market, said OnAir chief executive officer, Ian Dawkins, adding that OnAir provided the only air-travel industry sponsored solution for commercial airlines, private and corporate jets, Airbus and Boeing aircraft, and for long and short-haul flights.

Making Your Visit
Visiting the child care program before you sign up is a crucial step. Here are some tips to make the most of that visit:
- Speak over the phone and get basic information. Conversations over the phone can help you decide if you want to visit the program. You may have to arrange a time to speak because providers may be busy taking care of children.
- Arrange for a visit. Choose a time when you can see the busy activity of the day, as well as naptimes and/or mealtime.
- Take a checklist with you. Visit a program more than once, and at different times of the day, so that you can get a sense of the flow of an average day.
- When visiting a center program, speak to provider(s) who would care for your child. Make sure you speak directly with the child care provider who would be caring for your child. It is important to build a relationship with the person who will be spending the most time with your child.
- Ask to speak to other parents using the program. Get a different view point on the kind of care provided, their experience and level of satisfaction.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel you need to visit again, do it. You are the best judge of what your child needs.
