The rapid scale up of opioid substitution treatment (OST) for drug users mainly achieved through the possibility of prescribing buprenorphine in primary care has been successful in reducing HIV prevalence among drug users but still inadequate for reducing the spread of HCV. To date, methadone in France can only be initialised in drug centres but GPs can prescribe methadone after stabilisation of dosages.
This study was born as an answer to a request from the French Minister of Health that supports the initialisation of methadone in primary care in order to improve coverage by OST (now 70%) in drug users.
|Condition or disease
|Hepatitis C Substance Dependence Methadone
|Drug: Methadone
|Phase 3
We aimed to test the non inferiority of the proportion of non users of street-opioids after one year of treatment in patients inducted in primary care (PC) vs.those inducted in a specialised center for substance dependence (CSAPA).
In this multisite, open-label, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial, opioid dependent individuals were randomized to start methadone either in PC or in a CSAPA. After stabilization of methadone dosage (~2 weeks), patients could change arm. Follow-up assessments through medical questionnaires and phone interviews was scheduled at month 0 (M0, enrolment) M3, M6, M12. The opiate treatment index (OTI) was used for computing the proportion of patients reporting no use of street opioids in the last month at M12 (primary outcome) in those inducted in PC or in a CSAPA and the non inferiority margins.
Primary analysis was by intention to treat (ITT)

Volunteers from an Aldenham-based charity are feeding thousands of people whose lives were devastated by the typhoon that struck the Philippines.
Teams from charity Food for Life, which is run by the International Society of Krishna Consciousness at Bhaktivedanta Manor, are working round the clock to prepare meals for those displaced by typhoon Haiyan.
The volunteers have been cooking and distributing more than 2,000 meals a day to victims in cities such as Tacloban, Palo and Tanauan Leyte since last Monday.
Balaram Das, the emergency relief coordinator for the Food for Life ISKCON programme in the Philippines, said: "We are working almost 24hrs a day. It takes a lot of time to prepare meals under these tough conditions.
"We start cooking as early as 1am and then we leave around 8am for the distribution, before returning as late as 12pm, only to get ready to do it all again for the afternoon shift."
Some 673,000 people were displaced by the storm, their homes destroyed by the strong winds and floods that devastated the country, and the volunteers are working with other charities to provide as many as they can with hot vegan meals.
The relief effort is funded by the Lotus Trust, which is also based at Bhaktivedanta Manor.

Duterte says his kin are unauthorized to have gov't-related transactions
President Rodrigo Duterte has reminded Cabinet officials not to accept any government-related transactions and favors from his relatives, a Palace official said Wednesday.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte had reiterated his prior instruction to the Cabinet to ignore any pleas to be made by any of the First Family in connection with any government transaction.
"The President is renewing his call that any and all of his relatives are not authorized, okay, to approach anyone in government in connection with any government-related transaction full stop," Roque said in a press briefing in Malacañang.
"That applies to his children, his siblings, his cousins, his uncles and aunts. No one in his family is authorized by him to have any financial interest in any government office, agency, or department," he added.
Roque, however, clarified that there was no incident that prompted the reminder.
"Wala naman po (There isn't any). Although actually again in the spirit of transparency, this was also relayed to me on the [30th of December] to be announced on our next press briefing 'no," he said when asked if the reminder has anything to do with the supposed ranking official set to be sacked by Duterte.
The spokesperson, on the other hand, noted that there "should be no problems" if Mighty Corporation lawyer Manases Carpio, husband of presidential daughter and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, "performs his duties pursuant to the rules of legal ethics."
"It's very clear in the rules of legal ethics that one should not take advantage of any position that discharge functions of lawyers," Roque said.
"The President trusts that Atty. Carpio is familiar with this kind of legal ethics," he added. /je

Record Your Dreams and Play Them Back – Just like Movies. Yes, It's Possible
By WE SHAPE LIFE TEAM
This is good for people who have hard times remembering their dreams. The similar MRI studies have already proved the concept. Scientists have discovered ways to record and playback your dreams.
Scientists at the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto have applied this system to dreamers' brains, marking the first step on the way to recording and replaying our dreams.
Isn't this amazing?
Are you one of those people who has trouble remembering their dreams? I know some people who swear they don't dream at all because they are never able to recall any details about the previous night's adventures in the mind (though of course, this is impossible). Now, Japanese scientists have done the unthinkable in a project which sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie — they have learned how to record your dreams by measuring your brain activity while you sleep.
The data that is collected can then be plugged into an algorithm that is capable of reconstructing your dream so that it can actually be played back for you when you're awake. Basically, these scientists have invented a dream reading machine; once this technology is perfected you may never have to worry about forgetting your dreams again, because you can simply play them back to yourself when you wake up in the morning. Incredible.
The Science
This amazing breakthrough is possible thanks to a fairly straightforward idea — when we visualize various objects in our minds, our brains generate neural patterns that can be linked to what we are visualizing. If you are imagining a house, for example, your brain generates a pattern that shows up every time the house is visualized. An algorithm can then be utilized that ties the data from a brain scan to the applicable correlated images. And just like that, the images in your brain can be reconstructed.
Keep in mind that this research is still in progress and is fairly rudimentary. So far, researchers have claimed to correctly interpret the dream about 60% of the time, which is still a pretty big deal when you consider that this is even possible at all.
The Study
Participants in the study were asked to hook themselves up to an electroencephalography (EEG) machine, then to fall asleep inside an fMRI machine. Scientists then used the EEG readings to determine when the participants began to enter the dreaming phase of sleep. They were then abruptly woken up and asked to recall what they were dreaming about; this process was repeated about 200 times for each participant.
Scientists then condensed this data and found that certain common types of objects from the dreams of the participants could be connected with brain patterns that were recorded by the fMRI scans. Then, using an Internet search, they looked for images that roughly matched the objects that were seen in the dreams of the participants. This information was then entered into a learning algorithm that was able to refine this model even further. Amazingly, this algorithm was then able to utilize the data recorded from the participants' fMRI scans to assemble videos from the images found on the Internet, basically creating a movie for each dream.
While this new technology is far from perfected, over time it will improve as the algorithm continues to learn. This research could finally lead to a discovery on interpreting and understanding dreams, and perhaps provide some answers about why it is we dream in the first place.

My friend Debi makes such cute cards. I was lucky this time to get her card from the Island Scrapbooking Craft Night's Card Drawing in April (that's why its Easter themed). She used the Hero Arts mushroom stamp and made the Swiss Pixie Bunny sit on top. Sorry- I know Easter's over, but that's how long I had this card!!!
Debi is also embossing crazy. Now I used to emboss once upon a time, but could never perfect my technique since I'm messy. She has revived embossing at Island Scrapbooking and has gotten everyone buying embossing powder again! She used copic markers and stickles to add dimension to the flowers. Love how this card is just one layer!

It's been almost two months since the Scottish independence referendum. Residents of Scotland voted not to leave the United Kingdom, but the work is not over. The Better Together campaign made promises of additional devolved powers. British Prime Minster David Cameron announced that Lord Smith of Kelvin would oversee the process of devolving more powers from Westminster. Cameron hinted that changes could affect more than just Scotland. Draft legislation will be introduced by January 25. This legislation will change the United Kingdom. We will continue watching to see what evolves.

How to Pinpoint What Makes You Happy for Future ReferenceOn July 17, 2017 by Marie Gizelle
^(Walking around cities make me happy, in Ghent.)
Sometimes it seems that life is against you. Everything is going wrong and you feel trapped, stressed, saddened, and generally heartbroken by all of the bad luck and negatives. However, to combat these feelings in the future, you need to have a go-to pinpoint of what makes you happy.
Reflect on Your Life to This Point
There are always pros to go with cons, so for every bad thing that has occurred, there is a counterbalance of good things too. Reflect on your life to this point, remember the good times, and take solace in the fact that life is a series of ups and downs. Live for the ups and learn from the downs.

What do other users have to say about this supplement? Are there any DNA Dispatch reviews available?

"I am always looking to get the best pump. I had been using convict stimulus for a while and decided to give the DNA Dispatch a shot. Definitely without a doubt one of the best decisions I made. Everything I have tried from this company has never let me down and always exceeds my expectations. They have never met them, always exceeded. "
"When it comes to surprises, this one was the biggest one for me in this year. Definitely made me try some of Condemned Labz other stuff, and they were great, I would even dare to say one of the best I have ever tried! I recommend everyone giving this brand and their products a chance. You won't regret it!!"
Rarely we come across something that people love so much. It definitely leaves a big mark on our view on the product, even the manufacturer itself.

Don't mind the mess!
We're currently in the process of migrating the Panda3D Manual to a new service. This is a temporary layout in the meantime.
Starting with Panda3D 1.10.0, Python applications using Panda3D can be packaged in a distributable form (e.g., zip archives, Windows installers, tarballs) using Setuptools. These packages can then be hosted on a website or store front for distribution to end users.
The new Setuptools-based process is a replacement for the old distribution method, which was more complex to use and maintain, required special builds of Panda3D, and did not work with Python 3.
From the Setuptools documentation, "Setuptools is a fully-featured, actively-maintained, and stable library designed to facilitate packaging Python projects." The Setuptools documentation should be referred to for more details, but the basics of using Setuptools is:
- Create a setup.py
- Execute commands with
python setup.py command
The basic structure of a setup.py file is:
import setuptools setup( ... )
With the
setup() function taking many arguments. See the Setuptools Examples page for example
setup.py files for common project structures.
panda3d package adds two new commands to Setuptools:
- build_apps
- build binaries that can be run without Python or Panda3D pre-installed on the end-user's system
- bdist_apps
- package binaries into various archives and installers for distribution (also runs
Thus, the basic steps to deploy a Panda3D application (or set of applications) are:
- Create a
setup.pyfile for your application
- Execute
python setup.py bdist_apps
- Copy the archives/packages (e.g., zip, tar.gz, exe) from the build directory to a location that users can access
Refer to the Asteroids sample program for an example of a
setup.py file that can be used with Panda3D.

David Reid borrows the title of his rambling "interpretive historical essay" about 20th-century New York cultural iconography from an observation Gore Vidal made in The New York Review of Books decades ago.
Except for a brief interregnum, Vidal wrote, the United States had been at war from Dec. 7, 1941, until Aug. 15, 1973. "Between 1945 and 1950," Vidal declared, "the empire turned its attention to peaceful pursuits and enjoyed something of a golden or at least for us not too brazen an age."
Mr. Reid, an essayist, author and editor ("Sex, Death and God in L.A."), explores the fulcrum of this age of genius in "The Brazen Age: New York City and the AmericanEmpire: Politics, Art and Bohemia" (Pantheon Books, $30).
His book actually opens in 1944, with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's punishing four-borough campaign motorcade, and his purview extends well beyond the three years, 10 months and 10 days defined by Vidal to encompass the trial of Max Eastman, the socialist editor of The Masses, for sedition during World War I, and the Beat generation in the early 1950s.
In between, the author introduces readers to a standing-room-only salon in which Weegee, the photographer, waxes rhapsodic about the newspaper PM ("You could tell PM readers on sight. They looked like people from another planet waiting for someone to take them back to their leader … which, of course, was PM"); C. Wright Mills, the Columbia sociologist, describes militant labor leaders as "the new men of power"; and Simone de Beauvoir writes curiously of "something in New York that makes sleep useless."
Roughly half of Henry Wallace's 1948 presidential vote was cast in New York, which, Mr. Reid argues, is where the cultural Cold War began, where genius mattered to the public intellectuals and private wannabes and where Louis Simpson, a classmate of Allen Ginsberg at Columbia, tossed his wristwatch out a window "because we are all living in Eternity now."
Boxing has always been a vehicle for ethnic succession, and Mike Silver focuses on the first half of the 20th century in "Stars in the Ring: Jewish Champions in the Golden Age of Boxing:A Photographic History" (Lyons Press, $29.95).
"Getting knocked down and picking yourself up to continue the battle," Mr. Silver, a sports historian, writes, "can be seen as a metaphor for life's ups and downs."
From 1901 to 1939, he writes, 29 Jewish boxers were recognized as world champions (about 16 percent of the total) and more than 160 were ranked as top contenders in their divisions. By 1928, he writes, "Jewish boxers comprised the single largest ethnic group among title contenders in the 10 weight divisions."
Mr. Silver affectionately recalls an era when boxing rivaled baseball in popularity, when Benny Leonard was "the first Jewish-American pop culture icon" and about which Philip Roth could write with authority: "In my scheme of things, Slapsie Maxie was a more miraculous Jewish phenomenon by far than Dr. Albert Einstein."

Dropbox vs. Google Drive vs. OneDrive: Which Cloud Storage Is Best for You?
I was a huge cloud storage skeptic when Dropbox debuted a decade ago and popularized the idea for everyday consumers.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- U.S.-listed securities of overseas companies edged lower on Monday, pacing downturns on Wall Street, on concerns that last week's cut in the Federal Reserve's discount rate isn't enough to boost liquidity.
The Bank of New York ADR Index BKADR, +0.60%, which tracks shares of foreign companies trading in the U.S. as Depositary Receipts, was down 0.6% in late morning trading. The index was still up 1.1% on the year.

Jimmie Durham and 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts
Jimmie Durham
The Artist's Institute, New York
August 24, 2011 – January 15, 2012
Lost in the monthly turnover at galleries and arts institutions is often the ability to look, in an in-depth way, at a particular artist's work. The Artist's Institute, located in a small basement-level space in the Lower East Side provides an alternative to the art world's trend seeking attention deficit disordered hustle and bustle. Dividing the year into two seasons, the space, directed by the amiable Anthony Huberman and affiliated with Hunter College presents a series of works by a single artist over the allotted six-months. Jimmie Durham is the current season's offering and doesn't disappoint. Durham's rejection of Western ideas of understanding, linearity and logic provide starting points for a program of videos (at the time of writing) that are shrewd, joyful, humorous and steeped with a melancholy that gives them welcomed poignancy in our age of economic and political narrow-mindedness. Time, Durham and The Artist's Institute seem to suggest, helps cultivate an open mind.
100 Notes – 100 Thoughts
dOCUMENTA (13) Publications
Edited by Bettina Funcke
While dOCUMENTA (13) doesn't officially open until June 2012, its ambitious publication project is already showing up on shelves and coffee tables around the world. The title says it all. A series of 100 paperback notebooks featuring authors ranging from Alexander Kluge to Emily Jacir & Susan Buck–Morss, dOCUMENTA (13)'s group of colorful notebooks is an extension of the exhibition's themes and is likely to become an indispensable resource. Poet and UbuWeb founder Kenneth Goldsmith's contribution, (Notebook no. 017) in the form of a letter to series editor Bettina Funcke, makes for a particularly enjoyable read. You'd be remiss not to pick up this—and the others that make up the initial release of seventeen ten-dollar notebooks—that collect conversations, collaborations, essays and facsimiles of artists' notebooks. After all, who can resist a smart and good-looking publication?
Eric Zimmerman is an artist and Editor of ...might be good.

OSIsoft has an upgrade to mitigate a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in its PI ProcessBook and PI ActiveView, according to a report with ICS-CERT.
Successful exploitation of this remotely exploitable vulnerability, which OSIsoft self-reported, may allow an attacker to remotely access arbitrary code.
Schweitzer Clears Hole in Gateways
Schneider Patches Ampla MES Holes
Schneider Patches Wonderware ArchestrA Logger
Siemens SIPROTEC 4, SIPROTEC Compact Issues
OSIsoft said the vulnerability affects the following PI products:
• PI ProcessBook 2015 R2 (3.6.0) and earlier
• PI ActiveView 2015 R2 (3.6.0) and earlier
No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability. However, an attacker with low skill level would be able to leverage the vulnerability.
The affected versions contain a third-party component which contains a vulnerability. The issue is rated "High" (CVSS: 7.0-10) by OSIsoft.
The products see action in multiple sectors on a global basis.
OSIsoft recommends users upgrade installations to PI ProcessBook 2015 R2 SP1 (3.6.1) and PI ActiveView 2015 R2 SP1 (3.6.1). The upgrade removes the vulnerable components and installs Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) 7.1, which is backwards compatible, to maintain scripting capabilities. The upgrade does not completely remove all VBA 6.5 components in case other applications utilize them. If no Microsoft Office or third-party programs require VBA 6.5, remove it after the upgrade.
For more information about this vulnerability, how to obtain the new version, or how to install the new version, see OSIsoft's alert, AL00321.

Chicagoans are twice as likely to have chlamydia and nearly three times more likely to have gonorrhea than residents of other areas in the U.S., according to data from the Chicago Department of Public Health. Young women make up for nearly half of the individuals diagnosed for chlamydia infections. In addition, gonorrhea rates rose among both men and women beginning in 2016. The largest increase at 22% was among men. A goal of Heartland Health Centers and myself is to increase the awareness of sexual health education to high school students, a population most affected by sexually transmitted diseases. Heartland Health Centers School Based Clinic offers free STI testing. By tabling during lunches, I am able to inform the students first hand about these services, and provide them with healthy and safe sex options. Moreover, we are relaying the message that STI testing should be a part of one's standard medical care. Talking openly and honestly with the teens about their risk for STI's and where Chicago stands with these rates are extremely important. Tabling is my chance to make those connections with the students of Senn High School.

Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 395.8(k), a motor carrier "shall maintain records of duty status and all supporting documents for each driver it employs for a period of six months from date of receipt." Following the introduction of global positioning systems and the availability of electronic tracking devices for motor carrier equipment, the so-called "supporting documents" regulation has been the subject of much controversy between the U.S. DOT and the industry it regulates.
Applying the hours of service supporting documents regulation to electronic tracking data compels the motor carriers utilizing such technology to maintain their satellite position history data for their entire fleet for a minimum of six months. Not only is the recordkeeping a practical burden and expense, but also it discourages motor carriers from utilizing the technology. In fact, a policy memorandum issued by the Federal Highway Administration on August 15, 1997 recognized that the use of electronic tracking technology "has the potential of changing the 'playing field' for those carriers using the technology" and that "in the interest of promoting the use of advanced technology as a monitoring tool" the Agency "[u]nder special circumstances" may enter into "agreements" with motor carriers utilizing the technology, "to provide relief from recordkeeping requirements in the regulations in return for the use of advanced technology that is patently adaptable for the purpose. . . . In all such agreements, the participating carriers should not be held to a higher compliance standard than nonparticipating carriers."
The Agency's "Policy on the Use of Advanced Information Technology" set forth in the August 15, 1997 memorandum was affirmed on April 24, 1998 in a letter from George Reagle, Associate Administrator for the Office of Motor Carriers, to Walter McCormick Jr., President and CEO of the American Trucking Association. Mr. Reagle advised that the policy memorandum "does not require motor carriers to acquire, install, use or maintain electronic tracking technology, nor does it require carriers to retain electronic tracking data" (emphasis added). Finally, FMCSA affirmed its policy regarding the use of electronic tracking data to verify hours of service records on December 5, 2001 in a letter from Joe Clapp, Administrator, to Bill Canary, Interim President and CEO of the ATA. Mr. Clapp advised that field inspectors "formally request such records only when other supporting documents are not sufficient to demonstrate compliance." He further advised that if a motor carrier refuses to produce the electronic tracking data, the refusal "neither triggers a formal request nor adversely affects the compliance review or safety rating."
Recently, the issue as to whether a motor carrier is required to maintain its electronic tracking data, or satellite position history, for six months as "supporting documents" pursuant to § 395.8(k) was presented to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, Columbus Division, in Morgan v. U.S. Xpress, Inc. Relying upon the Federal Highway Administration's decision in In re: National Retail Transportation, Inc. in 1996 that "supporting documents" include all documents that "could be used" to verify a driver's hours of service records and the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2002 in Darrell Andrews Trucking, Inc. v. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which held that the term "supporting documents" includes not only those documents that the motor carrier actually uses to audit its driver's daily logs but also documents that "can be used" to verify records of duty status, the District Court held that "[t]here is no logical reason to conclude that GPS data which can be used to verify driver's status records are not supporting documents to be retained for that purpose pursuant to the Regulation for the period required by the Regulation." (Order on Motion in Limine entered March 13, 2007.) The Judge charged the jury that "global positioning satellite data is a supporting document which U.S. Xpress was required to maintain for six months under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations."
In its motion in limine prior to trial seeking exclusion of any evidence concerning the failure to retain the satellite position history data for the entire fleet for six months, U.S. Xpress argued that the Agency's policy since at least 1997 has been that a motor carrier may elect not to retain the data for six months without suffering any adverse consequences, so long as the motor carrier has in place an effective system of document retention for the verification of compliance and enforcement of the hours of service rules. In addition, U.S. Xpress argued that as a matter of law a motor carrier cannot be found liable for bad faith spoliation of its electronic tracking data based upon the Agency's policy statements if it chooses to retain the data for less than six months.
The District Court, however, ruled that the issue of bad faith destruction of the satellite position history data in less than six months presented a jury question. The Judge allowed U.S. Xpress to present the testimony of an expert witness who reviewed the history of the Agency's policy memoranda and letters to the industry concerning the applicability of the supporting documents regulation to electronic tracking data. Although the Judge charged the jury that U.S. Xpress "was required to maintain [the data] for six months under the Federal Motor Carrier Regulations," he further charged the jury that it "must still determine whether the destruction of such evidence was relevant to the Plaintiff's claims and was done in bad faith." There was no indication that the jury ever reached the issue in its deliberations.
The issue remains alive before the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Notwithstanding the literal wording of the Regulation, it appears that most of the motor carriers utilizing electronic tracking systems do not routinely retain the data for six months. The motor carriers rely upon the governing Agency's policies and practices. A body of law is continuing to develop, however, that exposes the motor carriers to potential liability for failing to maintain the data despite the Agency's announced policies. Until the FMCSA adopts a regulation specifically addressing the issue, the supporting documents regulation is likely to be an increasing source of disputes in trucking accident litigation. Motor carriers beware!

Kildare mother wins Newbridge Silverware design comp
Design student
Models, Kerri Nicole Blanc and Ciara Buckley with winner Caoimhe McGuckin
Robertstown woman Caoimhe McGuckin has been chosen as the winner of the Newbridge Silverware National College of Art and Design Designer of the Year competition.
The competition, in it's 12th year, allows students in NCAD to design their own piece of jewellery and have their designs showcased to a targeted and design conscious audience.
Caoimhe drew her inspiration for the jewellery from her daughter's collection of pebbles from their holidays in Kerry and worked off drawings made from teardrop shaped flower petals and leaves.
Model, Kerri Nicole Blanc wears jewellery designed by National College of Art and Design student, Caoimhe McGuckin.
Mother to two girls, Naoise (18) and Siadhbh (12), Caoimhe returned to college as a mature student three years ago.
One of the Newbridge Silverware judges, Richard Murphy said, "Caoimhe's drive to follow her dreams of creating a career in design is evident in the pieces she has produced. We were blown away by the standard of all the entrants, but Caoimhe's stood out as the best to us."
The three judges for the competition were NCAD lecturer Michael Cunningham, Nora Ulrich who is a jewellery designer at Newbridge Silverware and a former student at NCAD, and Lorcan Harney who judged the manufacturing process.
William Doyle, CEO of Newbridge Silverware, said; "It was a very competitive field this year, even more so than previous years when we have ran this competition. The standard and quality of the designs submitted was fantastic and these students have a bright future in fashion design."

Will no one look after salaried GPs?
Name and address supplied
While the new contract paved the way for a big salary rise for GP principals, salaried GPs are doing the same hard work, particularly so in inner-city, PCT-run practices, for much less.
They contribute to the QOF points and cover unexpected emergencies until the out-of-hours service takes over.
Unfortunately the Department of Health and PCTs seem to turn a blind eye to the welfare of salaried doctors. Now we hear that private contractors will come and take over these practices (News, 26 January). Where does that leave salaried doctors?
There is no strong body to represent these doctors, many of whom are highly qualified. The last thing that should happen to them is being taken over by private contractors and used again as pair of hands.

Sorting My Feelings
'You will make a long overdue decision' – this was written on a fortune cookie I got right before the break… I laughed at the time because I know what exactly it was talking about.
All right, here it is… there is this girl (or woman… which one ever you prefer) that I have met and hang out with since I started my grad school. At first, she is just a friend… as the day passes and I slowly get to know her better, I realize how amazing and wonderful she is. She is adorable… but most importantly, she has a great heart… a beautiful heart full of love and caring. I always enjoy the time I spent her… I really like her… Well, the problem with me is that I am not really good in any way let her know how I feel.
I don't know when to tell, how to tell, or what to say…. I feel that I want to try but I am pulling myself back…. story of my life… that's a decision I will have to make… and I think it's an important one….
I want to thank everyone who I have met in my life… You are what made my life a little more special and perhaps influence my life in one way or another.
To all my friends, no matter where you are and what you might be doing now… thank you all so much for being a friend. Especially those of you who keeps in touch. Thank you…
To my family… I know I never really show that much compassion, emotions, or appreciations with you all… I love you all… I really do… You have done a lot for me and I hope I have lived up your expectations so far.
This last one… is for my best friends… the ones really made a great difference in my life… Niek, Greet, and Popov… You guys have no idea… I don't know if I am able to make it this far in my life. You were there when I needed you. Thank you!!
There are many things and people I am thankful for… I have not included and will not be able to include all of them… However, that does not mean I don't appreciate…
Similarity and Difference
This morning after I woke up… I realized something… It is not only important to respect and appreciate difference… but that's only the first step. It is to encourage students to find similarity, their common ground that they can connect with one another.
Looking at the bigger picture… I think somehow we are emphasizing too much on diversity and difference… so that's what we always see. Although we respect and appreciate that… I feel that there is no connection between the people. Then we tend to forget the important thing… We are all HUMAN… we have the same needs… we desire love, food, and much else… Hence, I feel that though it is important to promote diversity, we have to also connect people together by finding the common ground and not forgetting the fact that we are all the same after all.
Many of you know that Prop 8 was passed in California… I don't know why people would support such a law! WHY WHY WHY???! What's in it for you?! You are taking away the rights from other people… Why can't their love be recognized? I would love to know your reason… I just don't understand… Many of us demand for equal rights and yet some of us take those away… doesn't make much sense to me…
I also wonder… true love is so hard to find… some people spend their whole life to find it, some people lose it because of some tragedies, and yet, there are many who has it does not treasure it. I guess this quote says it all I think about:
"When you actually find someone you care about. It's important to let
go the little things, even if you can't let go all the way. Because
nothing sucks more than being all alone. No matter how many people are
around you."
– Scrubs (TV Series)
Not only when you find it… also when you have someone who cares about you! Your friends, your family, or just a random stranger… Don't wait until you lose it… I guess all I am trying to say is that take a good look around you…
"Life is yours to live… I can't live it for you… I can't tell you what to do… but I will be there when you need me…"
Friendship, I value…
I guess I just really really love this quote so I want to share it:
"You know what it's like getting up every morning? Feeling
hopeless, feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the
wrong man. But, at the same time hoping that she still finds her
happiness, even if it's never going to be with you"
It's a sad quote but I feel that I can somewhat relate to it… I would choose other people's happiness over mine which I guess makes life all around more complicated. The thing is… It happens… Not everyone is lucky to find the love of their life easily. It's been been a year since I made a pack with myself to stay single. Mainly because of my job nature… of course, I felt like the quote a few times because it was probably the "right" thing to do at the time. Well, life… never easy on anyone… and we all have our own share of trouble and problem. Yours might seem less troublesome but it might weight as much as mine in your mind. Some things can not be compared… Keep moving… There is always hope…

CEo's message
Bhagya rangachar
This is our first Annual Report. Considering it's happening just when we are on our 20th year, I am realizing that it would be almost impossible to contain my jottings here for the current year. It's a nostalgic moment for me, as its strongly focused around the people that have been part of this journey with wide array of talents or simply to serve!
My first memory is about meeting a very sensitive, extremely talented and passionate young student of Fine Arts in 1998, when CLT was just born. Avi was our first volunteer and over the next few months, through his drive and passion, CLT had gained many young people with so much to give and wanted an opportunity to serve. They became the core of CLT - the brick and mortar of the organization for the next 4-5 years. This became a pattern and many more bubbles of volunteer groups started emerging, with each owning a piece of CLT's dream to create equal learning opportunities for all children! Women volunteers to run 'Food Bank', friends in U.S. doing fundraising and the young artists helping me to build an organization! This was before a Mission statement or a website or a blog and definitely before we had any money to have a paid staff. Their sense of giving was so contagious and complete, it became a hub for spreading joy!
'Come Share our Joy', created as a bi-line by these youngsters became a guiding compass for the rest of us and still is today!
And, so the journey begins, by gradually realizing that while our efforts to serve the children in underserved communities were sincere, to amplify it into a more impactful, sustainable outcome, we needed to bring in a more organized, well thought-out structures and systems. We had also zeroed in on one thing we wanted to focus on by year 2002, that was to address the missed learning opportunities of children in government schools, where the acute shortage of teachers was daunting. We were also becoming aware that the region-specific complexities were beyond the scope of heads of these schools; and hence our norms, as a country, were adjusted to the unavailability of teachers and lack of resources and had become a way of life. Consequently, our children's aspirations for quality education was compromised.
CSO's notes
Dear Stakeholders,
While reaching 1 million students is a target for many organisations serving in the education space, for CLT it is the starting point of an entirely new journey. In keeping with the power of One - summarising the Organisation's accomplishments in the last 20 years, here is how the future spells out -
O - Omni channel presence: rich pedagogy based digital content available at arms reach of every student in geographies where CLT is present,
N - New geographies being charted for strategic organic and non organic growth,
E - Empowering the internal skill and technology capacities to meet the challenges in the years ahead.
Last three years have seen immense internal focus on making sure that the platform, hardware and data analytics are integrated seamlessly such that classrooms running CLT's flagship program, e-Patashale, deliver on creating an engaging and rewarding experience for students and teachers in the undeserved space. This platform has taken flight to two other states other than Karnataka - Rajasthan and Maharashtra. CLT is working closely with state governments across the country to extend its underserved footprint.
from the trustees
It has been a pleasure to be a member of the Board of Directors of CLT India and to see the substantial progress that the organization has made over the last 20 years. CLT India continues to be focused, as it has been from the beginning, on providing significant educational content using technology as a tool to benefit thousands of students and teachers across India. I look forward to working to expand CLT India's presence and impact across the subcontinent and improving the lives and futures of so many
Harsha Murthy
Twelve years ago, Ms. Bhagya Rangachar, founder and CEO of CLT India, walked into my office at Microsoft Research India where I was at the time to seek opportunities for collaboration. I was deeply impressed with her work with midday meals and computer clubs for children. I would never have guessed then that that was all just a prelude to the incredible work that CLT India has accomplished since then with carefully crafted teaching aids and workshops for government school teachers. I look forward to another dozen years of even greater impact!

Chris Pratt took a break from cropping Jennifer Lawrence out of hisPassengerspress tour photosto stop by Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show last night. There, the two played a game of Mad Lib Theater, which consisted of Pratt throwing out random nouns and adjectives (truly, these are random) for a Christmas skit he and Fallon performed.
Pratt sang, wore a Santa suit, and dropped one J.Law reference, naturally ("What will the little Jennifer Lawrences think when she wakes up on Christmas morning with nothing under the apple tree?").
It's all so nonsensical and very fun:

Picture this, you wake up one morning, the nation is in crisis and there has been a call out for a stay away. The country has quite literally shut down and you didn't do a grocery run that week so you are now forced to use your imagination with the little that is there. Earlier this week I got creative with one of my favourite vegetables, butternut. I truly enjoy how versatile this veg is so expect to see a lot of butternut based dishes on this blog! Im happy to share with you what I appropriately dubbed, The Shutdown Hashbrown. Enjoy 🙂
here's what you will need :
- 1 medium sized Butternut
- 1 red Onion
- 1/2 cup Mushroom
- 1 Green / Red/ Yellow Pepper
- 1 tsp minced Garlic
- Salt & Pepper
- pinch of Cumin
- pinch of Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp EVOO ( extra virgin olive oil )
- 2 Eggs
- 1 shredded chicken breast ( optional)
here's how you make it :
What I love about this dish is how simple it it is to make! You quite literally mix everything together and you are ready for the next part 🙂 Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix it all up until you can see the mixture is ready to be made into patties
Heat up your EVOO in a pan, grab a tablespoon and get ready to scoop up your mixture to place in the pan so you can fry them up. Once cooked through, place them on parchment paper to drain any excess oil out and you are ready to serve!
If you try this out, let me know how you liked it!

Change of Plans
All the lunches are packed and the bags are bursting at the seams with labeled supplies. The kids have been sleeping soundly for hours now and for some reason my stomach is still turning.
This was supposed to be my year "off". I turned down numerous teaching offers in order to spend more time with my little guy while he's still at home as well as to try a big project I've had on the back-burner for three years now. I thought this moment would find me elated and feeling free.
Except I now am the mother of a middle-schooler and I'm not quite sure what to expect. I also agreed to teach art to the third grade once a month. Once a month should be a piece of cake. It will be fun and it will get me in the classroom of the kid who spent last year complaining that I NEVER go on any field trips with him.
But then my wonderful husband got himself out of a seriously big commitment by suggesting that I would be perfect for the position (you know I love ya babe!). Ooh...I don't know about that I said to his, "Doll, you're going to be great at this!" The next day I got another call wanting me to sign on to an ever bigger project.
Now I have some big decisions to make because, believe it or not, I'm not going to say yes to everyone (at least not intentionally). There will be prayer involved and hopefully God will show me what's right.
The only sense I've gotten so far is that God has no intention of giving me the year off. Well, it was a nice thought, even briefly.

Women Don't Do Mass Shootings, It's Mostly Young White Men
What is it about weapons that draws in boys? I've safeguarded many weapon ownership cases, but never ever any with women, and never ever any mass shootings (random shootings of 3 or more people) including black men. (I've done lots of shooting cases including gangs, but these were not random or mass killings.) The country is once again awash in concern about what's triggering primarily young white men to devote such criminal offenses. The latest random killings included 23-year-old Mark Conditt in Austin, Texas. Conditt left home-made bombs made to appear like Amazon shipments on people's doorsteps. The bombs eliminated 2 black men, Anthony Stephan House and Draylen Mason, and seriously hurt numerous others. Conditt eliminated himself recently as authorities closed in. Although Conditt used bombs rather of a weapon, like much of killers in the mass shooting, Conditt was a young white male.
Based upon FBI information and media sources, 156 mass shootings occurred in the United States from 2009 through 2016. These numbers do not consist of Devin Kelley's 2017 murders of 26 people in a rural Texas church, Stephen Paddock's rampage in Los Vegas that eliminated 58, or last month's murder of 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, by Nikolas Cruz. According to Statistica, majority of all these shootings were done by white men under 40. A report by Everytownresearch.org puts the variety of people eliminated in mass shootings at 848. Which's only for the 7 years from 2009 through 2016. Including, at a minimum, the new numbers from Kelley, Paddock, and Cruz's killings in 2017 and 2018, and the overall reaches 951.
As a nation, we've got to do much better.
Research studies show a lot of the criminals were disaffected boys, introverts with couple of buddies. Yet there were couple of other commonness. Some were homeschooled, some went to public schools and assaulted the schools they 'd went to. Many had actually been bullied. Some were spiritual, some atheist. Some particularly targeted a specific group like gay men or blacks, others just shot arbitrarily. Most were politically conservative– anti-government, professional weapon. Some had histories of mental disorder, some didn't. Many had previous occurrences of being domestic abusers, performance history of having actually hurt their kids, partners, even animals. Why did they eliminate? According to the research study, for different factors. Some looked for popularity, some had an ax to grind– like penalizing the woman who overlooked him, or striking back for being fired. For some, no factor was ever discovered. Most were eliminated in efforts to catch them or eliminated themselves.
According to the report, warnings appeared before the killings in 49% of the cases. The greatest sign was a previous history of domestic violence. Fifty-four percent of the mass shootings from 2009 to 2016 included the murder of a member of the family and previous risks or acts of violence versus loved ones. Omar Mateen, who eliminated 49 people at an Orlando club in 2016, beat his other half. According to Mateen's previous coworker, "He was a mad person … I saw it coming. He stated he was going to eliminate an entire lot of people.". Devin Kelley, the man who eliminated 26 in a church in Texas, split his stepson's skull and beat his other half. He pleaded guilty to both criminal offenses 5 years before the church shootings. Based upon this information, it appears that keeping weapons from the hands of people founded guilty of violent criminal activities, specifically domestic violence, is important. That means background checks throughout the board. But there's more the United States can do to avoid these shootings.

"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." – Psalms 27:14
I've been thinking a lot about waiting lately. It's not something our culture likes to do. Fast food franchises thrive because we hate to wait. We've gotten used to information about everything–from home remedies to migraines to the 22nd President of the U.S.–being at our fingertips online (although the credibility of that information is another matter). We are a culture of multi-taskers, a culture of doers. I keep a book in my purse at all times in case I end up waiting somewhere — because waiting is just wasted time, right?
For the past several months, I've been discerning whether I should move. It began with dreams about moving, then grew with my frustration over ever-increasing rent. Follow that up with the fact that my older sister is expanding her business and has offered to hire me and the fact that I could move into her apartment when she moves out to get married this fall, and the decision about whether to move reached obsessional proportions.
I spent a week in my hometown, partly to help my sister with a few gigs (she owns a pony ring and petting zoo), and partly to discern whether it felt "right" to return there. As I led my pony around in circles all afternoon, there was a voice as clear as a bell inside me. It said: "Wait. You're going to come back here, but not the way you think. Just wait."
I relaxed. I'd been telling myself that I had to make a decision by August 1 in order to put in my 60 days notice in time to get my sister's apartment, but suddenly, I no longer felt the need to get worked up about it. If August 1 came and went without my having made a decision, so be it. There would always be another apartment, another opportunity.
I was prepared to wait weeks, months, even, for the right path to come clear. It came to me three days later, when my step-grandmother announced she was moving into assisted living and wanted to know if anyone was interested in moving in to her house. I said yes before I even had the chance to think about it. Only after saying yes did it sink in: that I've always wanted to live in the country again, but thought I'd never have the money to buy land, let alone put a house on it. Only after I said yes did I realize I'd been handed the keys to a dream, that my musings of "someday" had turned into "this fall."
I felt as though God had offered me a tremendous gift. I thanked myself for waiting. I thanked God, too.
Tonight, I looked up passages about waiting in the Bible and found dozens of them. I could have saved myself a lot of stress if I would have allowed myself to wait from the very beginning, and I try to hold tight to this experience so that I will remember it the next time I feel the pressure of thinking something must be done right now. If anything is really that urgent, I better get on the phone to 911. For everything else, the urgency is mostly in our minds.
This isn't the first time I've felt that God has come through "at the last minute," but it did serve as a good reminder. And I know it's easy to see God when things are going well, but much, much harder to wait on the Lord when they're not. But some of the hardest things I've lived through, I survived only by waiting — waiting for the tears to stop, waiting for time to pass, waiting for the wounds to heal. And even then, I felt God's presence in the waiting, guiding me to a better place, to a stronger me. It's much harder to find God in the whirlwind of the constant doing.
My whole perspective on life might change if I used all the waiting for opportunities to connect with God: waiting for my computer to boot up, waiting at a red light, waiting in line at the grocery store. Maybe I'll even stop carrying a book in my purse.
