Councils and housing associations would be given greater flexibility over housing allocations, to consider any property applicants' own as well as their income so that social housing goes to those who need it most.
Proposals would also give councils and housing associations more tools to tackle antisocial behaviour.
The measures would allow previous antisocial behaviour to be taken into account in the allocation of housing and antisocial tenants losing their tenancy rights.
The consultation also asks whether and how the process for evicting the worst offenders should be simplified.
In response to calls for change, proposals would also result in all new social tenants getting a probationary tenancy for a year before a full Scottish Secure Tenancy is given.
Keith Brown of the Scottish Government said: "Landlords and tenants lobbied hard for changes to the way affordable rented housing is allocated and managed.
"We have listened and these proposed changes reflect, I believe, the views we have picked up from organisations and individuals the length and breadth of Scotland.
"Antisocial behaviour has a serious impact on individuals and communities. Feedback suggests that even low-level, persistent antisocial behaviour can harm communities.
"The measures we are introducing will also help good tenants who currently feel powerless to deal with bad neighbours, who make their lives a living hell."

Jeffrey Feltman did a stellar job as U.S. ambassador to Lebanon from 2004 to 2008. While many career ambassadors embrace moral neutrality against the backdrop of political crisis, Feltman stepped up to the plate during the Cedar Revolution and helped give the Lebanese a real shot at affirming their freedom and independence from Syrian domination. Alas, the March 14 movement was hopelessly divided and ineffective. After Feltman left, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice blessed the Doha Agreement which enabled Hezbollah to reassert its control, and effectively end the Cedar Revolution.
President Obama's election was a mixed blessing for Feltman. On one hand, he received a nice promotion and became the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs but, on the other hand, Obama used him as his point man for his silly and misguided strategy to flip Syria and normalize ties with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad who both Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton considered a reformer.
Earlier this summer, Feltman had enough. He resigned from the State Department and immediately began to work for the United Nations, as that body's under-secretary-general and head of its Department of Political Affairs. Alas, any hope that the good Feltman would rub off effectively on the United Nations appears to have been dashed. As my colleague Ahmad Majidyar pointed out, Iran's Fars News Agency has just published a photo of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Feltman meeting with Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khameini. Feltman looks distinctly uncomfortable and, indeed, he should squirm. He is being used as a showpiece in Iranian propaganda, as he and his misguided boss supplicate themselves to a man who openly calls for genocide.
Decisions matter, not only when in the State Department, but also when retired from it. Feltman's predecessor as Assistant Secretary of State David Welch used his connections to solicit business for Bechtel in Libya, but actually worked to advise Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi on how to maintain power. If these are the best and the brightest at the State Department's Near East bureau, let's hope that a Romney administration would take a long hard look at how the career foreign service is staffed and trained, and why it is that so many representing the United States appear to have lost their grounding.

Dentistry & Oral Surgery
For most people, regular dental visits coupled with daily preventative care is just something "we do" to stay healthy. Did you know that our animals need dental care, too? In fact, bad breath can be a sign of periodontal disease one of the most commonly ignored problems in our pets.
Dental disease can have a serious impact on the quality of life and health of our pets. Tufts Veterinary Medical Center's (Tufts VMC) Dentistry and Oral Surgery team offer a number of treatments from routine dental cleaning to more complicated procedures like root canals and orthodontics for your furry family members.
Most family veterinarians will examine your pet's teeth and gums during his or her yearly wellness appointment. For many dogs and cats, yearly cleanings are enough to maintain their oral and dental health, and this routine dental care often can be provided by your regular veterinarian. However, some animals require more frequent or more advanced care.
Tufts VMC provides pre–procedural consultations with clients as well as phone consultations with referring veterinarians.
Dental Services
We are committed to providing the highest quality of care for your family pet.
- Digital and conventional dental radiographs
- Probing and charting of all the teeth
- Biopsies of masses or other lesions
Periodontal Therapy
- Routine cleanings which include scaling above and below the gum line and polishing
- Guided tissue regeneration
- Gingival contouring to reduce periodontal pockets
- Extractions
Endodontic Therapy
- Root canal therapy
- Vital pulp therapy
- Correction of malocclusions causing trauma
Treatment of maxillofacial trauma
- Open or closed reduction and stabilization of jaw fractures
- Treatment of luxated or avulsed teeth
Because all dental and oral surgery procedures must be done under anesthesia, a full pre–anesthetic work–up is required. You may bring in results from recent blood tests from your regular veterinarian as long as it is within 30 days of your appointment. We work closely with a board–certified anesthesiologist and highly trained certified veterinary technicians to make sure your pet's anesthesia and recovery is as smooth as possible.

The Timor Sea Justice Campaign is holding a snap protest outside the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Time: 12:30pm Thursday 3 December 2015
Location: Collins Place, 55 Collins St, Melbourne
TSJC spokesperson, Tom Clarke, said he hoped Australians would once again answer the call to help East Timor.
"Once again our Government is doing the wrong thing in East Timor and once again Australians that believe in a fair go need to step up and be heard," said Mr Clarke.
The Government's dubious use of Australia's intelligence services to short-change East Timor out of billions of dollars in oil and gas revenue returned to the spotlight last week with the ABC's Lateline screening a series of reports on the topic and Senator Nick Xenophon calling for Royal Commission into the affair.
"Most Australians like to think our spies are out there trying to protect the nation from serious threats, they don't want our spies being ordered by the Government to help rip-off our poorer neighbours like East Timor," said Mr Clarke.
The Timor Sea Justice Campaign is a grassroots campaign of concerned Australians calling on the Government to establish permanent and fair maritime boundaries with East Timor in accordance with international law – along the median line halfway between the two coastlines.
At Thursday's protest, the Timor Sea Justice Campaigners will deliver to DFAT thousands of signed postcards urging the Prime Minister to enter fresh negotiations with the fledgling nation.
"The Australian Government's stubborn refusal to sit down and negotiate permanent boundaries with East Timor is the real problem here. As a sovereign nation, East Timor is entitled to permanent boundaries and the only thing preventing that is Australia. It's time for a new approach and we hope that Prime Minister Turnbull is willing to give up his predecessors' hardnosed approach," said Mr Clarke.
Two month's before East Timor's Independence in 2002, the Australian Government withdrew its recognition of the maritime boundary jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice leaving East Timor with limited legal avenues to challenge Australia's refusual to negotiate permanent boundaries.

On December 8th, 2017 the teaser trailer for MediEvil premiered at the Playstation Experience (PSX). Before the trailer was shown Shawn Layden, the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America and Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, had this to say
"I've been getting a lot of feedback on the title MediEvil. It's a really important title in my personal journey in my career. We worked on that when I moved to London. We would like to bring it back on Playstation 4. We think Sir Daniel needs one more resurrection and this is the time to do it."
The teaser trailer was then shown and viewers across the globe (including myself) jumped for joy in excitment seeing the title "MediEvil for Playstation 4" in 2017 along with Sir Daniel Fortesque's brief rendition of Messiah by George Frideric Handel.
(Teaser Trailer for the new game)
The first time I watched this teaser trailer I was overjoyed at the thought of Sir Daniel Fortesque running around the land of Gallowmere in 1080p resolution on Playstation 4 and 4k resolution on Playstation 4 Pro. To be able to fight Zarok, and the undead again in 60 fps with buttery smooth controls with the usual gothic horror aesthetic that we have all come to love and to be able to listen to the beautiful gothic horror music fully orchestrated.
After I watched the trailer I was overjoyed at the thought of MediEvil finally coming back, but then I wondered something. Will this be a remaster from the ground up of the original playstation 1 game, or the handheld remake MediEvil Resurrection? My mind was filled with curiosity of this new project. I watched the trailer again after calming down to see if I missed anything and noticed something different about it now that I wasn't blinded with excitement. After making comparisons to earlier games in the franchise with this teaser trailer I would like to make a bold presumption that MediEvil on Playstation 4 will be a remastered port of "MediEvil Resurrection"
For anyone who has played the previous games in the MediEvil series, they will notice that the voice cast, art silhouettes, and story shown in the teaser trailer are from the Playstation Portable (PSP) title "MediEvil Resurrection" a handheld remake that was given mixed reviews upon release for lack of innovation, framerate issues, and cumbersome camera controls, but was overall given positive praise for the game's humor, voice talent, and graphics for the time on a handheld (2005). This could just mean that they are adapting the PSP remake's story, and art direction while keeping to the classic gaming formula, but I don't believe that is the case.
At the end of the teaser trailer we are given an extremely brief "in-game cutscene" from the game in order to tease at what the art direction looks like for the game. Does it look like the original game's art style, the psp remakes, or is it completely new? The zombie that was shown is not only similar to the PSP remake's art style, it is just the PSP remake's zombie rendered in 1080p resolution!
MediEvil – PSX 2017: Teaser Trailer (0:40)
MediEvil: Resurrection – All Cutscenes (4:43)
"…We think Sir Daniel needs one more resurrection and this is the time to do it." – Shawn Layden
This could be a coincidence in the way Layden phrased the announcement, but instead of a remastered game built from the ground up like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy that was released earlier this year, MediEvil fans will possibly just get a port of Resurrection one more time for modern day consoles.
To many this doesn't seem that much of a big deal but there were many changes in Resurrection that some fans did not enjoy compared to the original. Chris Sorrell the director of the original Playstation 1 game and writers Jason Wilson and Martin Pond created a game that was unique for its time. A gothic horror adventure game with dark undertones and unsettling areas to explore in, but had some comedy to make it so the game wasn't serious all the time. The tone of the game I would say could be similar to that of Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice" film. A slightly lighthearted, but dark gothic horror comedy meant for teenagers and primarily adults.
The PSP version "Resurrection" produced by Piers Jackson and written by Patrick McCarthy, Martin Pond, and Dominic Cahalin was given a more lighthearted approach similar to a Disney film like Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas" which is gothic horror-esque, but is still enjoyable for all ages. Resurrection also added new elements not found in the original game such as more in-game content like mini games, a sidekick named Al-Zalam that would crack jokes and assist the player at certain times, lighter tones to the overall atmosphere, and more comedy to the series than ever before. To some this makes Resurrection worse than the original game, but I believe both have their merits to be fun games in the series and is simply opinions at the end of the day.
Some might be disappointed with the idea that this game is just a port of Resurrection, but this isn't entirely bad news for fans of Sir Dan. There could be countless ways they can fix and fine-tune this game to make a fun, engaging, and memorable experience for new and old fans alike. Dare I say it could surpass both the original version and the psp remake and become the penultimate version of the first MediEvil games.
What changes can we expect from MediEvil PS4HD?
Most of the issues with Resurrection were camera controls, framerate issues, and lack of innovation. Most of these problems can possibly be fixed with ease on modern day consoles.
Since Resurrection was originally on the PSP, that means that the game never had access to a second analog stick for camera controls. This was an issue for many games on the handheld such as "Metal Gear Solid Peacewalker," and "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep." When those games were ported over to the Playstation 3 with camera controls, they were a lot more tolerable and thus made the games more enjoyable. Like the games stated earlier, those also had minor framerate issues because of the hardware the game was originally released on, but were not as bad as Resurrection simply because those games were released later on in the PSP's life cycle.
Resurrection was first released in 2005 as a PSP launch title. Because the game was intentionally designed for the original PSP 1000 model, it had a low 222MHz locked CPU power to be designed for. This could have been the cause for the framerate drops during intense parts of the game. On a playstation 4, if they find a way to uncap the framerate (which I am guessing they will), then it will be able to run at a stable 60 frames per second at all times.
At the end of the teaser trailer it stated that more details will be announced soon, and I believe that even though this game could simply be a remastered port there could be new additions to MediEvil HD. To compare again to Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, developers Vicarious Visions released cut content from the original Crash Bandicoot game as downloadable content. Along with adding new levels, they also added new additions to the series such as a new playable character even though it was just a remaster of the first three Crash Bandicoot games.
In 2003, the developers for MediEvil Resurrection "SCE Cambridge Studio" originally wanted to make the game for the PlayStation 2, but were commissioned to develop a launch title for the PSP instead. Due to the time constraints, they decided to remake the original MediEvil and some content was cut. This is where the lack of innovation comes into play as like Vicarious Visions, they could add the cut content into the game in order to have new content for MediEvil fans of old and new to enjoy. There could possibly be new weapons and costumes to unlock, new areas to explore, new characters to interact with, and maybe new modes such as time trials or a new difficulty option. The best possible scenario could be that this could also have an unlockable port of the Playstation 1 game when the game is finished to completion. This would let new players enjoy the remastered game, and old school players would be given a nostalgic treat for supporting a series they love.
At the end of the day this could just be a simple port, or a new game altogether. Not much information has been released to give us a clear distinction of what MediEvil HD really is going to be, but more information will be announced later on in the beginning of 2018 and I predict they will have a full gameplay trailer or a demo ready to go for E3 2018. There is one thing that everyone can unanimously agree upon. Sir Daniel Fortesque is back from the grave and people now have their eye out for what this game has to offer for us in the near future. Hopefully my presumptions are true and that Sony can see that the demand is there for a new MediEvil title. Maybe one day we will get a MediEvil 3, but in the mean time let us all be excited for MediEvil remastered coming to Playstation 4 and Playstation 4 Pro.

Bill Hader and fellow SNL-alumnus Kristen Wiig are making the media rounds for their movie, The Skeleton Twins. This means lots of chatting with local TV and radio personalities -- and taking the opportunity to troll one TV reporter who fumbled his interview after asking questions that clearly revealed he hadn't seen the movie.
It all starts to unravel when he asks Kristen if she has any advice for going nude.

Session-by-session changes in anxiety sensitivity and cognitive defusion were assessed in 67 adult outpatients randomized to CBT (n = 35) or ACT (n = 32) for a DSM-IV anxiety disorder.
Multilevel mediation analyses revealed significant changes in the proposed mediators during both treatments (p < .001, d = .90–1.93), with ACT showing borderline greater improvements than CBT in cognitive defusion (p = .05, d = .82). Anxiety sensitivity and cognitive defusion both significantly mediated post-treatment worry; cognitive defusion more strongly predicted worry reductions in CBT than in ACT. In addition, cognitive defusion significantly mediated quality of life, behavioral avoidance, and (secondary) depression outcomes across both CBT and ACT (p < .05, R2 change = .06–.13), whereas anxiety sensitivity did not significantly mediate other outcomes.
Cognitive defusion represents an important source of therapeutic change across both CBT and ACT. The data offered little evidence for substantially distinct treatment-related mediation pathways.

The Ballets Russes, and in particular their costumes, have been my passion since I was 15 years old and found an old exhibition catalogue in a second-hand bookshop.
The catalogue was from the National Gallery of Australia's 1999 exhibition, From Russia with Love, and contained a picture of this costume for a knight from the 1910 production of Firebird. I became obsessed with this wonderful costume which had been designed by Aleksandr Golovin for The Ballets Russes.
I loved the relative simplicity of it and the use of a white/cream back ground. The double skirt or lampshade style also fascinated me. To me it was perfect!
In year 10 at my high school in Central Victoria – while everyone else was making cotton pj's in textiles class – I made and screen printed my own version of this costume!
The Firebird remains my favourite ballet and this costume triggered my whole career!

Things to Consider while Buying Alkaline Water Bottles
Since the market is filled with a lot of alkaline water bottle products, it is important to consider the following factors before buying an alkaline water bottle. Let's look at some these factors below:
When it comes to buying an alkaline water bottle, try to choose a company that is pretty much transparent about its products and provides maximum information about its alkaline level and how they could achieve it etc. Generally, when the acidic content is removed from the water, the alkalinity in the water level increases.
Also, make sure that the company is well accredited and licensed by the concerned authorities and hence you can be sure that the company is only marketing licensed products that are approved by the concerned government authorities. Look for accreditation logos or stamps on the package as it ensures that the water bottle has been verified, tested and authorized by some governing body and hence it is good for use. There are also pH strips available in your local store that can tell you the exact pH levels of the water.
Ease of Use
When looking to buy an alkaline water bottle, make sure to check whether the bottle is easy to use. See whether the bottle is easy to clean and maintain. Also, check whether the filters can be easily removed and changed and the process of changing filters need to be easy as with alkaline water bottle you often need to change filters to maintain pH levels at a constant.
Size and Style
Another important factor to consider is to look for the size of the water bottle. It shouldn't be too large or too small and needs to be in a medium and decent size that can be carried along with you wherever you ago. It shouldn't too bulky that it occupies too much space in your kitchen or in your office. Also, style is also important as it needs to have a decent look.
Filter Replacement
When it comes to filter replacement, it is a must when it comes to alkaline water bottles as the filters are the main factors that provides you with clean and fresh alkaline water. But the important factor that need to be considered here is how often the filter need to be changed. Generally, the filter for a good quality alkaline water bottle lasts for upto 3-4 weeks.
Filtration Mechanism
Also, it is important to check the water filter mechanism adopted in the water bottle to provide high quality and tasty alkaline water. Most of the water bottles employ the mechanism of removing the impurities and other toxic residues in the water to enhance the pH levels. The filtration mechanism also ensures that other dangerous and disease causing contaminants including lead, chlorine, pesticides and other chemicals are removed from the water.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded center Hasheem Thabeet and cash to the Philadelphia 76ers for a protected second-round draft pick in 2015 and a trade exception.
The deal was announced on Tuesday. The Thunder have a year to use the trade exception.
Thabeet, a 7-foot-3 defensive specialist from Tanzania, played in 66 games in 2012 and averaged nearly a block per contest. His playing time was reduced last season when first-round pick Steven Adams emerged as the backup center.
The Grizzlies made Thabeet the second overall pick in the 2009 draft. The former Connecticut star also has played for the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers.

See the streamlined trains of the 1930s in all of their sleek glory.
In the 1930s, streamlined styling was applied to everything from kitchen appliances to farm tractors as it captured the American imagination. Keen to regain passenger traffic lost to automobiles and expanding roadways, railroads hired industrial-design giants like Raymond Loewy, Otto Kuhler, Henry Dreyfuss, and Brooks Stevens to produce sleek, futuristic shrouds for locomotives. These streamlined locomotives and trains became the most iconic in American history. Even today, classic designs like stainless-steel Zephyrs, shrouded Hudsons, and EMD E-units remain the popular conception of what a locomotive "looks like."
Streamliners : Locomotives and Trains in the Age of Speed and Style explores the historical and scientific context for the development of streamlined locomotives and trains, the designs that became standard-bearers of North American speed and luxury, and the contemporary popularity of the streamlined look in popular culture. Illustrated with rare historical photographs in both black and white and color, as well as period advertising, route maps, and patent design drawings, Streamliners elucidates the story of this fascinating design trend by following the various technologies and styling trends and how they changed the look of American railroading. Profiles of prominent designers and preserved streamliners in use today round out and complete this picture every railfan will want.
Streamlining was the product of the last great era of American passenger trains, when elegantly styled, named trains connected cities across the continent on fast schedules. Streamliners thoroughly explores the connections between style, speed, and the rails.
Brian Solomon is one of today's most accomplished railway historians. He has authored more than thirty books about railroads and locomotive power, and his writing and photography have been featured in the world's top rail publications, including Trains, Railway Age, Passenger Train Journal, and RailNews. He divides his time between Massachusetts and Ireland.

The daily average incoming international calls through the legal channel has declined by 20 per cent or 1.1 crore minutes over a span of just six months after the government 'surprisingly' increased the call termination rate in February this year.
The average international call termination through the legal channel declined to 4.3 crore minutes per day in July this year from 5.4 crore minutes per day in February this year, according to the latest data of the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission.
The BTRC introduced the new call termination rate on February 27 this year.
The average international call termination through the legal channel was 5.3 crore minutes in March and 5.2 crore minutes in April this year.
As per the BTRC directive on the new call rate, international gateway operators are allowed to bring international calls at 2.5 US cents (Tk 2) per minute instead of the previous rate of 2 US cents per minute.
The operators, however, are allowed to share revenue with the government at 1.75 US cents (Tk 1.4) per minute.
An official told New Age that the commission's reluctance to identify illegal voice over internet protocol business and pressure from influential quarters to keep the rate high played as major factors behind the drastic fall in the volume of international incoming calls.
Besides the implementation of new call rate, growing mobile application-based phone calls also known as over-the-top (OTT)-based calls was another reason for the sharp fall in incoming international phone calls through the legal channel.
As a result of the decline in international calls and reluctance to identify illegal VoIP businesses, the government is being deprived of a huge amount of revenue as IGW operators are supposed to share 40 per cent of their revenue with the government.
A few days before the new call rate was introduced in Bangladesh, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India in January this year reduced international call charge to Tk 0.38 per minute from Tk 0.67 per minute with a view to containing the app-based international phone calls and illegal VoIP calls and encouraging international calls through the legal channel.
Although the Indian regulatory body faced stiff opposition from the IGW operators, the TRAI remained stuck to its decision of reducing the rate.
Against the backdrop of declining volume of international calls, the BTRC in April, 2017 initiated a move to lower the international call termination rate to 1.5-1.6 US cents.
The telecom regulator, however, failed to implement the decision mainly for opposition from influential quarters.
Even the proposals could not be sent to the posts and telecommunications ministry for approval.
In April this year, Bangladesh Telecommunication Company Limited issued a letter to the ministry opposing the new directive on international call termination rate.
BTCL also found that the BTRC-set directive impractical considering the declining volume of international calls through the legal channel due to the rise in mobile application-based phone calls, a senior BTRC official told New Age.
BTCL, also an IGW operator, would face drastic fall in international calls along with revenue fall as the new ICTR would prompt illegal VoIP and mobile application-based calls, he said.
Earlier, in September 2014, the government reduced the rate to US 1.5 cents from US 3 cents, reasoning that this step would increase international call termination through the legal channel.
Although the government's 2014 instruction became invalid in September, 2015, the IGW operators shared revenue with the government at the rate of 1.5 US cents despite the fact that they were bringing international calls at the rate of 2 US cents per minute.

Welcome to Saturday Six of my new project "Meet and Greet!" Once again, I'll tell you in short what this Meet and Greet project is about:
I read the WordPress Reader as I would the morning newspaper, because the articles in the Reader are often more valuable and positive than the sensationalist and unbearably dystopian ramblings of today's media. I come to know interesting blogs (true, I discover them often among my own followers) that have something special and authentic to offer. I'm always looking for worthwhile reading so, by all means, feel free to recommend blogs that have drawn your attention – leave a link to them plus a few words about what they stand for. I'll be sure to check them out, as well as your own blog. There's nothing better than reading interesting articles with a cup of good coffee, and imagining I'm drinking it with the writer themselves. Sharing is caring!
My recommendations for today are:
IndiHope is a successful (with reason) blog with focus on self-help and personal development, which offers valuable advice. What drew my attention in the first place were the quotes they post, how they rely on century-old wisdom as opposed to "pub philosophy."
OutAnAbout is Miriam's journal on her travels, one that goes way beyond mere description, and that captures the "spirit" of the places she visits. She immerses in the nature and surroundings, and conveys the "spirit" with skill. She sends a positive vibe that will charge your day, motivate you and make you start off with a smile on your face. Very inspiring.
Discovermarche is a bi-lingual (English-Italian) blog about lifestyle in Italy, full of culture and adventure and that will brighten your days. On many a morning I travel to Discovermarche with my coffee. I'm considering setting a story in Marche, just because of this blog. Nature, culture, wine, you'll feel on a romantic journey.
Looking forward to your recommendations, propositions and links! Subscribe to the blog to get notifications about new posts (personality tests and stories), or follow me on Twitter at @AnaCalinAuth, I'll be happy to connect.

Fight for Peace Weightlifter Mohez Khan tells his story of becoming a UK national champion
19/10/2017 – In under a year, London Academy athlete Mohez Khan went from a complete beginner in Olympic weightlifting to being crowned Junior British Champion. Here he tells us about this lightening trajectory and how his teammates, coaches and Fight for Peace helped him get to the top:
I come from Canning Town, which is just up the road from the Fight for Peace London Academy. Growing up in this part of east London, crime was happening around me – really, really close around me. I knew people that went off the path and I always try to bring them back but even with all of this going on, I have to try to stay on my path and try and go forward not backwards. I do this by keeping that focus of going to university and keeping up with training and progressing like that. Sport helps focus me and it is also a great motivator for me.
I joined Fight for Peace four years ago with some friends. We initially did a muay thai session, which was an absolute killer, but we enjoyed it and we just kept coming. When I started college, I stopped training for a while and throughout the time that I was away I felt that something was missing, I wasn't being pushed, but when I returned to Fight for Peace, training judo, jiu jitsu and strength and conditioning, I was like 'this is what was missing'!! A month later I began Olympic weightlifting.
I have been doing this sport for nine months now and I have grown to love it more and more as I have gone on. It is very, very technical, but because I have seen it here and at my university where I study Sport and Exercise Science it was easier to learn. Having said that, I am still learning the basics, you still have to get that done first.
I began training two days a week and then in the run up to our first competition we started lifting everyday and then later as much as twice a day! Competing in London, I came second in my first competitive event and then my training partner, Jawany and I took gold and silver in our second competition. These results gave me the chance to compete at the under-20s National Weighlifting Championships held in Leeds. The stage was much, much bigger than what I was used to and the nerves got to me because there was an audience cheering. But you have to try your best at the end of the day.
I lifted the same in the snatch as my nearest competitor but my clean and jerk was stronger. That meant that I was able to get the gold medal and become the British Champion! I wouldn't have been able to get to this stage without Jawany and our coach Mercy. They were the ones that helped me, we pushed each other. Mercy is the most important player on the team, she devises the plans and she is a Team GB lifter herself so we have so much to learn from her. She has broken British records and it is such a privilege to have someone like her here at Fight for Peace to coach us.
Next up, I have a local competition in London to qualify for the senior English Open. I am going to have to put in a lot of work between here and December to qualify for that. I am also hopefully going to graduate this academic year and I aim to do a Masters Degree in Physiotherapy. I will also keep up with my training and progress and do more competitions with Jawany and with Mercy's help.
I feel that we all here owe so much to Fight for Peace, they offer so much, they help others with jobs, health problems, mental issues. I think some people take it for granted but as you get older you realise how much Fight for Peace is offering for free. Hopefully, we all become successful and then it's our turn to give back – for me this is one of my goals.

Family Information:
We're a Portuguese family of three - Filipe the father, Luísa the mother and almost-five-year-old daughter Pikitim - embracing our biggest adventure together: a 12 months round the world trip focusing on Pacific islands... and around.
Filipe is a travel columnist and photographer, travelling the world in search of stories and people that give life to his stories. In 2004/2005 he travelled around the world for the first time - the journey took him 14 months to came back home, but in fact he never stopped travelling since then. He is the founder and editor of travel website Alma de Viajante (meaning something like "Traveler's Soul").
Luísa is a journalist with fourteen years of experience in a major daily newspaper in Portugal. She decided it was time to stop writing about economic crises and just quit her job to travel as a family for one year.
Pikitim is the nickname of our four-and-a-half little girl, and the reason why our online diary is called Diário da Pikitim. We strongly believe that the road is the best school of life and that this trip will give Pikitim precious little tools for her growth. We expect this trip to be the perfect seed for a tolerant, caring, responsible and insightful citizen.

Saving Lives and Livelihoods: the Race for Recovery After Typhoon Haiyan
In the catastrophic wake of Typhoon Haiyan, Action Against Hunger's first priority has been saving lives. But saving livelihoods—the ways that people earn money and access food—is equally important for recovery. So while our emergency response teams aim to provide immediate lifesaving assistance to some 650,000 typhoon survivors, we're also developing strategies to help restore economic self-sufficiency to the vulnerable communities in Tacloban and Capiz.
Millions of livelihoods lost
Some thirteen million people have had their livelihoods destroyed by the typhoon. Severe flooding has covered hundreds of acres of farmland in salt water, ruining soil and adversely affecting crop yields. Fishermen have lost their boats and fishing gear. Thousands of families now not only lack basic necessities like food, water, and shelter, but also the ability to make money so they can begin to rebuild their lives.
While emergency distributions take care of the most urgent needs for clean water, safe sanitation, and supplementary food, they are not sustainable in the long term. Amador Gomez, Technical Director for Action Against Hunger's Spanish headquarters, says that restoring livelihoods is just as critical to the Philippines' recovery as providing emergency supplies.
"We are engaged in a race not only to save lives, but also to restore livelihoods."
– Amador Gomez, Technical Director, Action Against Hunger, Spain
Helping farmers harvest again
For farmers in the Philippines, the storm came at the worst possible time: rice-planting season. In the hardest-hit areas—Samar, Leyte, Bohol, Cebu, and Capiz—farmers are at a critical point in their agricultural season, between harvesting their first rice crop and planting their second. Many farmers have also lost other staple crops, including entire coconut and banana groves—crops that take up to seven years to bear fruit—as well as cassava, mango, and corn crops. We're now working to help these farmers get the seeds, tools, and food they need for this season and for future harvests.
"We are coordinating with the FAO [Food and Agriculture Organization] to ensure that farmers have seeds available for planting in December, while also providing food rations so these farmers don't go hungry, which is key to ensuring they keep a portion of their seeds for future planting."
In the coming months, our teams will help farming and fishing communities and other struggling communities regain their self-sufficiency across the Philippines. We'll also help them strengthen their livelihoods, so they can be more resilient in the face of future disasters. With your ongoing support, we can continue to help the millions of affected people rebuild their lives.
