By the editorial board of The Tibetan Political Review
One June 3, 2012, the Tibetan Government-in-Exile (TGIE) announced that Kalon Tripa Lobsang Sangay had accepted the resignations of Lodi Gyari and Kelsang Gyaltsen as the envoys for His Holiness the Dalai Lama in negotiations with the Chinese authorities.[i]
In their resignation letter the two envoys stated:
"Given the deteriorating situation inside Tibet since 2008 leading to the increasing cases of self-immolations by Tibetans, we are compelled to submit our resignations. Furthermore, the [China's] United Front did not respond positively to the Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People presented in 2008 and its Note in 2010. One of the key Chinese interlocutors in the dialogue process[ii] even advocated abrogation of minority status as stipulated in the Chinese constitution thereby seeming to remove the basis of autonomy. At this particular time, it is difficult to have substantive dialogue."
The Kashag responded by reiterating that the "Tibetan leadership remains firmly committed to non-violence and the Middle-Way Approach, and strongly believes that the only way to resolve the issue of Tibet is through dialogue." However, the TGIE did not address why it remains committed to the Middle Way Approach when two of the Middle Way's leading proponents have apparently given up on it due to the lack of positive response from China and the deteriorating situation inside Tibet.
The resignation of Gyari and Gyaltsen is a watershed event in the decades-long process of Chinese-Tibetan negotiations. To be clear, Gyari and Gyaltsen did not specifically say they personally no longer support the Middle Way. Nevertheless, their resignations strongly signal a lack of meaningful results under the Middle Way Approach and demonstrate a loss of faith in the dialogue process by two of its most visible proponents.
Kalon Tripa Lobsang Sangay was elected on a platform of "change". Many of his supporters said they voted for Sangay because they thought he would bring change to the TGIE and come up with new ideas in Tibet's struggle for freedom. However, since his election, Sangay has maintained a very solid and consistent position supporting the Middle Way Approach.
The Middle Way has been the TGIE's policy since the Dalai Lama's Strasbourg Proposal and Five-Point Peace Plan, which called for genuine Tibetan autonomy as part of People's Republic of China. Over time the Middle Way proposal has been whittled down from essentially "everything except defense and foreign affairs" to accepting Chinese Communist Party rule while focusing more on Tibetans' cultural rights. In 2008 the TGIE formally presented China with the Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People (the Memorandum) and clarifying Note, which together present the most detailed explanation of the Middle Way to date. Sangay has repeatedly thrown his support fully behind the Memorandum.
Sangay said he is for dialogue with China at any time and any place. China responded by saying they would never negotiate with Sangay or the TGIE, and referred to him as a "terrorist."[iii] Sangay may be hopeful for dialogue with China, but it is clear it will never negotiate directly with him or TGIE representatives. How Sangay's administration intends to get China to the negotiating table with the TGIE, or even with Gyari's and Gyaltsen's possible replacements as envoys, is not clear – nor has the TGIE yet elaborated on this point.
In any event, China has said it will only negotiate with His Holiness' representatives and will only discuss the conditions for His Holiness' return to Tibet, never Tibet's current or future political status.[iv] China has repeatedly said His Holiness must also give up the claim for Tibetan independence (which He has) and recognize Tibet and Taiwan as inseparable parts of China.[v] Chinese officials have also stated they would never agree to re-unite Amdo and Kham areas (where approximately 4 million Tibetans live) with the present-day Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR).
For the Tibetan side, the TGIE wants genuine internal autonomy for the entire Tibetan Plateau, which includes the TAR and all Tibetan autonomous areas in Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan provinces, as one autonomous region. In exchange, the TGIE would recognize Chinese sovereignty over Tibet and "not challenge the socialist system of the PRC" (as stated in the Note, meaning that the Chinese Communist Party would remain in control). Yet China refuses to even acknowledge that there is an issue beyond His Holiness's personal status.
What Now?
It is abundantly clear that the two sides remain vastly far apart on many issues. China has not agreed to any points proposed by the TGIE in the Memorandum. It often seems the Chinese and Tibetan delegates are talking past each other as they cannot even agree on what the dialogue is for, even though they have had nine and a half meetings in the last decade (counting the informal May 2008 meeting). This divide has been clear to many observers. However, until now, the TGIE and the envoys maintained that despite no positive movement from Beijing, they were firmly committed to the Middle Way Approach and the dialogue process.
The resignations of the leading envoys and their reasons for their resignations are a serious blow for the future of the Middle Way. If His Holiness' leading representatives, who were deep in the trenches in dialogue with the Chinese, essentially no longer believe the Middle Way is feasible, then what (beyond inertia) is driving the TGIE's support for the Middle Way?
Yet the TGIE remains firmly committed to the Middle Way Approach, even if it cannot clearly articulate why it supports it. Since the TGIE cannot provide a rationale, one can only conclude that it is because it is still the policy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In fact, in recent tours in the US and Europe, His Holiness again publicly supported the Middle Way.[vi] In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, His Holiness even said the majority of Tibetan people support the Middle Way (however, we have not seen any evidence to support this claim as it applies to inside Tibet, and polls suggest only a minority of Tibetans outside Tibet support the Middle Way as such.).
We believe His Holiness wants the TGIE, as a now fully-elected democratic government, to make its own decision about whether to pursue autonomy or independence for Tibet or some other option. Since His Holiness' devolution of political power in 2011, He has made it abundantly clear that He is no longer the political head of the TGIE and the elected Tibetan leaders must decide political policies. The Middle Way Approach, though supported by His Holiness, is no longer His policy. The Middle Way is now TGIE's policy and therefore, the TGIE can change the policy if it wishes. Indeed, any results, or lack of results, are now the responsibility of the TGIE.
The TGIE should not use His Holiness as an excuse to maintain a policy that does not appear to be working and has not achieved any meaningful results in the last quarter-century. If the TGIE continues the Middle Way Approach, it must justify that approach for its own reasons and explain those reasons to the Tibetan public. The Middle Way Approach, as a political policy, should rise or fall on its own merits. Deference to His Holiness, while understandable in the context of traditional Tibetan culture, should not be a basis to maintain a political policy that appears increasingly unrealistic.
Looking Back on the Middle Way
This is not to say the Middle Way Approach was a waste of time or was a mistake from the beginning. There was a potentially rational reason to support the Middle Way at one time, when China was liberalizing before the Tiananmen Massacre, and Deng Xiaoping supposedly suggested that anything but Tibetan independence was negotiable. To its credit, the TGIE patiently tried for many years to negotiate a resolution to the Tibetan issue that, in theory, would satisfy China and achieve self-rule for Tibetans.
However, in the last ten years the human rights situation in Tibet has greatly deteriorated. There was a nationwide uprising in 2008 and since 2009 Tibet has been convulsed by a wave of self-immolations. Hundreds of Tibetans have been imprisoned for expressing their support for a free Tibet and China has turned the entire Tibetan Plateau into a giant police state. China's policies on Tibet have not become more liberal; instead they have become hardline and more draconian.
China has unequivocally rejected the Middle Way Approach, has refused to negotiate Tibet's political status, and now high-ranking Party leaders are arguing that China should even eliminate ethnic regional autonomy from China's Constitution and laws. Perhaps it is time the TGIE took an introspective look at the Middle Way Approach and decide whether it really is the best policy to pursue for the Tibetan people.
The Tibetan side's exhaustive efforts to reach a negotiated compromise via the Middle Way Approach will leave at least one crucial positive legacy. Now, no one can deny that the Tibetans tried their utmost for a quarter-century, and the Chinese refused an eminently reasonable compromise. The fact that Tibetans can say "we tried" can now serve to justify a shift towards re-embracing Tibet's historic right to independence and sovereignty, should the Tibetan people so choose.

BOULDER, CO - December 23, 2008
Webroot, a leading provider of security solutions for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, has detected a new string of rogue antivirus applications that use URLs related to Continental Flight 1404 and other current news to manipulate consumers into purchasing phony Internet security protection. The URLs link to a download site which triggers a series of fake infection and firewall pop-up messages, bearing the generic name "Spyware Guard 2008."
"Cybercriminals are capitalizing on the Continental Flight 1404 incident and other news catching the nation's attention, including NFL game results and regional holiday events, and they're programming fraudulent Web site links to appear near the top of search engine results," said Paul Lipman, senior vice president and general manager of Webroot's Desktop Business. "As a result, consumers can easily click on a link that leads to deceptive messaging from a seemingly trusted source, and subsequently share personal information to purchase fake software. We encourage anyone searching for news online to be skeptical of unfamiliar URLs, and to protect themselves by having a legitimate antispyware, antivirus and firewall software in place."
According to Webroot's Threat Research team, many rogue antimalware applications use tactics to appear as if the product comes from a trusted security company in order to convince users into downloading and purchasing the product. Users find the Web site downloading this rogue application through a Google search further projecting an aura of trust. With this new string, users receive a series of fake "Spyware Guard 2008" messages distributed by a download site called frelatig.com.
Webroot has developed a set of recommendations for users to prevent this type of malware attack.

Juliette Binoche Gossip
Juliette Binoche gossip, latest news, photos, and video.

In 2010, the world was captivated by the real life drama of thirty-three Chilean miners trapped underground in a collapsed gold and copper mine. Sixty-nine days later a miracle was achieved when all thirty-three men were rescued, starved but alive. Interviews, television appearances, and books followed, and a film adaptation was inevitable. Full Story
CIFF Review: Clouds of Sils Maria
Wenn, FameFlynet, Richie Buxo/ Splash
Clouds of Sils Maria is French filmmaker Olivier Assayas's new film. It stars Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, and Chloe Grace Moretz. It is about an actress, Maria (Binoche), debating whether or not to take a role in the play that made her famous, but instead of playing the young ingénue, she would now be playing the older, ostensibly pathetic character.

I love these shots of Juliette Binoche holding hands with Kristen Stewart and Chloe Moretz at the Palais tonight at the premiere of Clouds Of Sils Maria. She's the veteran. She's the boss. She's doing it a lot less provocatively than Madonna with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Full Story

Juliette Binoche and Chloe Moretz were in Cannes today at the photo call for Olivier Assayas's Clouds Of Sils Maria. Have you seen the trailer? It looks great. Binoche plays an actress who has to contend with a younger, bratty one. The relationship mirrors her connection with her assistant, played by Kristen Stewart. Full Story

Margaret Marco
D.M.A. University of Illinois; M.M.E. The University of Iowa; B.M. Northwestern University
The Kansas City Star describes Margaret Marco's oboe playing as "wistful and utterly engaging," while the Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports "Marco's deft and lilting expression ...was often reminiscent of a soprano's operatic aria." Margaret Marco's "utterly engaging" performances have been heard in Europe, South and Central America, Canada and the United States. Her musical appointments have included principal oboe of the Orquesta Sinfònica de Maracaibo, in Venezuela, the Spoleto Festival in Spoleto, Italy, the Rome Festival Orchestra, Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta, Canada and the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra. Dr. Marco is the Associate Professor of Oboe at the University of Kansas where she has taught since 1998. Her teachers include Ray Still, Grover Schiltz, Dan Stolper, Mark Weiger, Dean Sayles and Nancy Ambrose King. She holds degrees from Northwestern University, The University of Iowa and the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.
Dr. Marco is the principal oboist with the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra and performs with several Kansas City ensembles including the Kansas City Symphony. She served as artist/faculty at the Ameropa Chamber Music Festival in Prague, Czech Republic; the Mozartissimo Chamber Music Festival in Madrid, Spain, the Sewanee Summer Music Festival in Tennessee and the Midwestern Music Academy in Lawrence, KS. Recent performances include the University of Costa Rica, the Festival of New American Music (Sacramento, CA), the Conservatorio de Musica in Puerto Rico and New Frontiers Music Festival in Laramie. She has performed at the International Double Reed Society Conferences from 2005-2016 and was selected as Chair of that organization's prestigious Fernand Gillet-Hugo Fox Oboe Competition.
A strong advocate for new music for the oboe, Dr. Marco has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Mid-America Arts Alliance, Mu Phi Epsilon and the University of Kansas to commission, perform and record new chamber works by American composers. She can be heard on her solo CD, Hidden Gems: Oboe Sonatas of the French Baroque, with the KU Wind Ensemble performing Copland's Quiet City on the NAXOS label, and on two CDs with her trio Allégresse entitled Allégresse; music for flute, oboe and piano and Fresh Ink. She is a frequent performer on Kansas Public Radio. In April of 2016, she performed the world premier of A Siege of Herons, a concerto for oboe d'amore, strings and percussion by fellow KU faculty member Forrest Pierce with the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra.

Free Online Tools for All
Organize photos, manage multiple calendars, chat with friends halfway around the world, and more — without spending a cent.
When I was a teenager, my father brought home a computer and suggested I figure out how to use it — and I've been hooked on technology ever since. Now I write about it for a living, have advised retailers about what to sell in their stores, and test gadgets and software constantly. In short, I like this stuff. A lot. Still, I see no reason to waste time on tech that's not useful, which makes me a pretty typical woman.
Given the state of the economy, there's a special place in my heart for free gear, and there's plenty available. Check out my favorite Web ways to do more for less. (This is when being a geek pays!)
Virtual Personal Assistant
If I dare bring up PC-based calendars and content managers, my friends insist they're not willing to give up their paper planners. No argument — I, too, am at one with my Filofax. But I also love my digital personal information manager. Essential PIM Free, essentialpim.com, allows me to catalog thousands of contacts, update my calendar, and track my mile-long to-do list. I don't have to cross out an address every time my sister moves or changes boyfriends (or both). I can cut and paste a person's details into an e-mail when someone asks, and I can print out all or part of my address book to carry in said Filofax. I also like to put appointments that repeat on my calendar once and get a day-before reminder without giving it another thought. For a small investment ($40 for the Pro version and $25 for a synchronizer), Essential PIM will sync with your Palm or Google or Outlook calendar.
My 12-year-old son is, shall we say, organizationally challenged, so I wondered if a laptop for school would help. (Answer: Yes, FYI.) I chose a cheap Net book because he tends to lose things but then realized that installing a full-blown office program would negate my savings. So I downloaded the freebie suite from openoffice.org. How can these great word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing programs cost zilch? It's what's called open source software. In a nutshell, the open source movement was born of the old adage, "Many hands make light work." Somebody posts basic code on the Internet and other programmers build on it in their spare time. So the owner is not a for-profit company but a group of volunteers dedicated to their vision of a world where software is built by and for the people. See how cool nerds are?
Getting in Touch
My girlfriends love to dial my cell because I have the best voice mail service around. It welcomes callers by name or with a message I record specifically for them, and also e-mails me when someone leaves voice mail, so I know to check even if my phone is dead. Best of all is the nifty option to ditch someone — as in, if I'm being pestered by a telemarketer or someone I don't want to hear from, I can set it to play an out-of-service message and simply hang up. My pals assume that I pay for this. As if! Everything I use is free at youmail.com. Sign up at the site and prompts will walk you through replacing your phone's built-in system.
My family, friends, and colleagues are literally all over the world, from California and Canada to Ireland and Iceland. Do I drop tons of cash to connect? Nope. My cell plan is literally the cheapest one available and I don't even have a home phone line. I communicate with my broadband Internet connection, a PC, and Skype, skype.com. The software is free to download and lets me talk to anyone else with Skype via computer at no cost. For $3 a month, I can also connect to POTS (plain old telephone service!) phones and cell phones with my Skype account and get unlimited minutes in the U.S. and Canada. Another $30 a year buys me a direct phone number so people can call me, and Skype can also handle instant messaging, conference calls, and video chat if you have a Web cam.
Recently, my now-dating-again sister turned to me with this tech-y question: "My BFF met someone on eHarmony. A friend from yoga swears by Match. But is there any free online dating?" I suggest plentyoffish.com. There are more than 900,000 fish in that sea — so many she can trump her friends by meeting Mr. Right without ponying up a credit card number. All she has to do is register and answer some basic compatibility questions, then she can browse potentials on the house.
Photos and Video
Finally in possession of the digital camera of my dreams, I now take so many pictures, my family refers to me as the paparazzi. I also have a ton of photos taken with older cams. It got to the point that there were so many images scattered around my computer that finding a particular snapshot was an all-day project. Not anymore. I downloaded Picasa 3, picasa.google.com, and it hunted all over my hard drive (while I enjoyed a cup of coffee) and created a visual catalog of every image. Now I just scroll through these thumbnail-size pics to find what I need. I also use Picasa to do quick fixes as warranted — crop badly framed shots to make portraits and eliminate red-eye and blemishes.
I am so frugal that I flat-out refuse to pay for anything beyond the most basic-level cable service. My kids sometimes complain about this alleged injustice when they attempt to channel surf and there is literally nothing going on TV-wise. When that happens, I remind them we are geeks, hook up a laptop to the television and head to hulu.com. Suddenly there's plenty to watch: The Daily Show, Family Guy, Bones, Chuck, The Office, and lots of other good stuff along with full-length feature films and movie trailers. There are ads — and no, Smarty, you can't fast-forward through them — but you can search for the very thing you want to watch, like a certain show or actor, or more works by a specific director, or watch an entire series in sequence instead of tracking episodes being broadcast on the networks or cable stations. Provided you have broadband Internet, this is fab. As for the hilarious promos starring the incomparable Alec Baldwin — well, consider them the icing on the cake.
Internet Protection
We keep an old desktop computer around for occasional kid Web surfing. I don't want to pay to keep this dinosaur virus-free but one of my unbreakable rules is this: Never connect to the Internet without protection. Viruses are the pits. To circumvent spending, I downloaded the free, basic antivirus tool AVG, free.avg.com. If I decide to upgrade later, I can go for the AVG Internet Security Suite or the user-friendly Norton 360, symantec.com. Meanwhile, he is covered.
As a rule I am definitely pro Internet filters for households with kids. There are plenty available for a fee, but before I buy anything, I look around the house to see whether there's something that could work. Take Windows Vista. Any computer running Vista already has outstanding parental controls built in. I enable them to limit gaming and Web surfing time so I don't have to watch the clock and be The Enforcer. Through the Control Panel, you will get enough choices to put your kids into a tech lockdown if you want to. Not running Vista? Your Internet service provider likely offers downloadable parental control tools. Worth looking into.
No expense aggravates me more than highway-robbery-caliber bank fees, overcharges, and late-payment penalties. But I work full time and have two tweens — left to my own devices, I always overlook something. These days, forgetting just one bill can cost as much as a new pair of kids' shoes. Ugh! To avoid this, and to create something resembling a realistic budget, I rely on Quicken Online, quicken.intuit.com. Initially it took me about 30 minutes (most of that time was spent trying to remember my passwords!) to give Quicken the log-in information for my credit cards, bank accounts, and loans. Then I kicked back while it gathered up all my transactions, due dates, and balances into a very organized page. Now, a quick glance tells me how much money came in last month, how much went out, and what's left. The program also hazarded some pretty good guesses at categorizing every expense it found so that I could create a budget based on actual past spending. Then I set up some limits and asked Quicken to text me when I'm about to go over in any category. It will also send me alerts — via text or e-mail — when bills come due so that no matter how faulty my memory, the payments get made on time. The bottom-line cost of all this fiscal automation? Zip!

Asif doubtful for semi-final
Pakistan were dealt a blow ahead of their semi-final against New Zealand with Mohammad Asif in doubt for the match with an elbow injury.
Nasim Ashraf, the chairman of the Pakistan board, said Asif had sustained the injury during the net practice before the game against Australia and has been in pain since then.
"That is why he has looked out of sorts and struggled with his line and length, Ashraf told PTI. "He has played because of the importance of the game against Australia but I think the team management should have given him rest for the match against Bangladesh."
Asif has taken nine wickets at 17 from five matches in the tournament so far. Ashraf said he had played after taking injections but he was still not 100% fit.
"The manner in which Asif bowled against Bangladesh, he does not bowl like this even in the nets," he said.
Shoaib Malik, the Pakistan captain, admitted that Asif was crucial to the team's chances in the event.

the whole thing sounds fishy here... if asif was injured or wasn't feeling good why he was played against bangladish...the match was n't an important one...


text: Ballot counting has begun in Egypt after two days of historic voting to choose the country's first democratically elected president, with the Muslim Brotherhood claiming lead. The Brotherhood, the country's most powerful political force, said on Friday that their candidate, Mohamed Morsi, will face divisive former civil aviation minister Ahmed Shafiq in a presidential run-off. Morsi, from the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, is one of thirteen men vying to become president. But the results will not be clear for some time, as major governorates had yet to submit their counts and independent media results showed a former socialist parliamentarian and activist jostling Shafiq for second place. The presidential election commission did not plan to release official results until Tuesday. The Brotherhood said its prediction of a Morsi-Shafiq runoff was released after 90 per cent of the votes were counted nationwide. Campaigns were allowed to station observers in the polls throughout the voting and counting process, and the influential Islamist group had placed staff in nearly each one. Divisive candidate The presidential elections come months after parliamentary polls, which the Brotherhood won handsomely, earning around 47 per cent of parliament. The hard-line Salafi Nour Party won 25 per cent. The new president's powers were meant to be outlined by the election in a new constitution drafted by a special assembly, but opposition parties boycotted the assembly when the Brotherhood was perceived to be using its near parliamentary majority to stack the deck in its favour. The rise of Shafiq - the former civil aviation minister who served as Mubarak's prime minister in the final days of the disintegrating regime - boosted by a sympathetic and powerful state media machine, was not widely predicted. And though he appears to have attracted many voters who yearn for a return to security and normalcy in Egypt, he is perhaps the race's most divisive candidate, loathed by the revolution's passionate supporters.In what may be a sign of things to come should Shafiq reach the run-off, a mob chased him from his polling place and pelted him with shoes on Wednesday.Other surprises on election night included what appeared to be a less-than-impressive showing from presumed front-runner Amr Moussa, who ranked highest in many opinion polls before the election, and a surge by Hamdeen Sabahi, a left-wing activist from the rural Nile Delta who served two terms in parliament and had been imprisoned 17 times under previous presidents. Omar Ashour from Exeter University told Al Jazeera that the "revolutionary vote was divided"."Amr Moussa is doing badly because of a few things - for example the debate with Aboul Fotouh, where they both under-minded each other to the detriment of them both," Ashour said."Morsi was underestimated - the Muslim Brotherhood is very well organised and very good at mobilising votes," he added.Meanwhile, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a former high-ranking Muslim Brother who quit the organisation after the revolution, remained in third place in most results, a disappointing showing in the view of some analysts.Calm process Polling places in and around Cairo visited by Al Jazeera reported different numbers, with 36 per cent of registered voters participating in some polling centres in the Nazlat el-Semman neighbourhood of Giza, while 66 per cent came out at a school in the Moqattam neighbourhood of Cairo."This is the first time we will choose our president in 7,000 years," said Mustafa Mahmoud Mustafa at the Moqattam Basic Education School.Judges and prosecutors serving as election authorities oversaw what appeared to be an orderly and calm process, and reports of violations were few and relatively minor. In Nazlat el-Semman, 50-year-old Sayyid el-Maymouny, who owns a shop on the edge of the Giza plateau and sells tourist trinkets within site of the Pyramids, said he was supporting Amr Moussa, the former Arab League chief and Mubarak-era foreign minister.He scorned Ahmed Shafiq, saying he was the true "felool," or regime remnant, not Moussa."For a year and a half, politicians have been causing us trouble, and we feel if Ahmed Shafiq wins, it will not go well," Maymouny said. "I used to stand in Tahrir, I used to go to the square during the revolution."The powers of Egypt's next president are still unclear, since the current constitution - the result of a drafting process led by the ruling military council - is meant to be temporary. In the Nile Delta, voter turnout was relatively low on Thursday, despite it being declared a holiday for government workers. As Hana Badr left a voting station in the working class town of Tanta, she said she did not care who won as long as "it's a decent man who'll focus on the youth". "I have children with university degrees who can't find jobs. It's not just Tanta, it's the whole of Egypt," she said. With unemployment as high as 25 per cent among the youth in much of Egypt, voters across the Delta shared the sentiment. In the city of Mahalla, home to Egypt's textile industry, 18-year-old Mohamed Khairy told Al Jazeera that the youth were being poorly educated adding that "it doesn't allow for critical thinking". An older man said: "I'm voting Amr Moussa or Ahmed Shafiq!" He admitted that the two candidates whom he supported most were part of the old regime, but said they would be jailed if they "messed" with the country. "The people are too powerful," he said.

English Teacher
Which ELT Qualification?
There are thousands of ESL teaching courses available, with all sorts of claims being made about them and accreditation that can be valid or bogus. One simple test is to look at adverts to see what employers are looking for, so I went through 200 adverts for basic teaching jobs around the world, and a few teaching online. I ignored managerial positions, university and specialist jobs. This does not rate the contents of courses, though it is clear which courses employers trust and prefer. Qualifications are given with the percentage of the teaching jobs advertised that a person could apply for.

Three days before the moon-orbiting Ebb spacecraft collided with a lunar mountain, its on-board cameras captured some striking images of the pockmarked moon's northern hemisphere — from just six miles up. On Jan. 10, NASA released what look like scenes from a science fiction movie: two probe's-eye views of the lunar farside, made from Ebb's stitched-together images.
The clips are played six times faster than the spacecraft's flyover actually occurred. The first was shot by the forward-facing MoonKAM, and the second was taken by a rear-facing camera.
Ebb was one of the twin GRAIL spacecraft tasked with mapping the moon's gravity field — a successful mission that came to an end in December. The images used to create this flyover video were shot on Dec. 14 as the washing machine-size probes began final preparations for the mission's planned end. On Dec. 17, the twins crashed into a mountainous crater rim near the lunar north pole, a site which is now named after astronaut Sally Ride.

DISCLAIMER: The above video was inserted by FANDOM staff and we have no control over it.
| "All godchildren look the same."
This article is about ten year old (animated) Tootie. For twenty-three year old (live action) Tootie, see Tootie (23 years old).
- "Why won't you give my love a chance!?"
- — Tootie
Tootie is the younger sister of Vicky. She has an obsessive unrequited crush on Timmy, and usually appears to pester Timmy during one of his adventures, although she has also stood up for him on many different occasions where others would not. She was originally voiced by Amber Hood in the pilot season, and was replaced by Grey Delisle in her main series appearance. In the Live-Action Movies, she is portrayed by Daniella Monet.
The younger sister of Vicky, she is a geeky girl with a crush on Timmy. She is nine years old, so she is implied to be younger than Timmy.[2][3] Vicky always tortures Tootie whenever she is not babysitting, meaning that she is twice as miserable as Timmy, but she does not have her own Fairy Godparents. Tootie harbors an obsessive crush on Timmy to the point where her room is a shrine of pictures of him and other related merchandise. Often she is shown to be crafty and knowledgeable, inventing numerous devices to eavesdrop on Timmy, while other episodes depict her as more of a little girl who enjoys playing with dolls, performing ballet, and other "girly stuff". She is also a member of the Sugar Cream Puffs.
Tootie has black hair with floating pigtails and dark eyes. Her glasses are distinctly different than other characters on the show that wear glasses, because they are shaped differently, they have blue lenses, and her eyelashes are attached to them. She wears purple braces on her teeth without a wire, possibly for an overbite which is seen sometimes when she smiles. She is around Timmy's height, and wears purple horn-rimmed glasses, a black vest over a white short-sleeved shirt, and a gray plaid skirt over black tights along with black shoes. Her outfit resembles a Parochial school uniform.
In her first appearance in series, in the episode "The Fairy Flu", Tootie did not have braces, her head and glasses were shaped different, and she wore bright colored clothing in contrast to her usual monochromatic color scheme. She also had a different voice actor, Amber Hood.
Despite her appearance, Tootie is tougher than she looks, likely due to her relation to Vicky. She is able to fight barehanded, as she can easily defeat Mr. Turner's sock puppet army in hand-to-hand combat after it had been re-animated by fairy magic, even after more powerful enemies such as Dark Laser and Denzel Crocker were easily bested by them.[4] She is shown to be capable of doing flips, shown in "Dread 'N' Breakfast" and in the live action movie. She also has done cheerleading for Timmy, and won the Tour de France on her bicycle when Timmy asked her to ride around the world to distract Cosmo and Wanda for him.[5]
- "TIMMMMY!!! I knew you'd come! Ohhh Timmy!"
- — Tootie while hugging Timmy in a death-grip, Birthday Wish!
Tootie often has outbursts of excitement, and screams to emphasize things much like her sister Vicky, although Tootie has a very different personality than her sister especially in the way they act toward Timmy. Sometimes when she is chasing Timmy or near him she will hyperventilate when she laughs. She also collects toy wands, and imagines herself being a fairy princess or the "future Mrs. Turner".[6][7] Tootie often cries because of mistreatment by Vicky, or from being rejected and ignored by Timmy. She is also usually brave and was willing to stand up to the school bully Francis for Timmy, as well as defeat an army of magic socket puppets barehanded to force Timmy to kiss her, although she is just as frightened by Vicky as the rest of her family.
Tootie may have gotten her love struck personality from her mother, Nicky, whom resembled and acted like her younger daughter so closely in the past that a time-travelling Timmy Turner mistook her for Tootie, although this took place in a video game and has not been referenced in the main series.[8]
It is never explained why Tootie is in love with Timmy. In some comics and early season portrayals, Vicky is protective of her little sister and even encourages her to pursue Timmy as a means of tormenting him. In most episodes Season 2 and beyond however, Vicky is very mean, terrifies Tootie and her parents, and generally hates her little sister. For Tootie, the feeling is mutual, as she is willing to expose Vicky's cruel habits to Timmy's parents, and dreams of trashing her older sister's room. However, when Tootie was loaned Cosmo and Wanda to make up for a lousy birthday she did not use them to harm or get revenge on Vicky, despite her ruining Tootie's birthday in the first place.
Early Life
- "You ruin my birthday every year!"
- — Tootie, to Vicky, Birthday Wish!
Present Life
Tootie attends Dimmsdale Elementary School. She never appears in Mr. Crocker's fifth grade class with Timmy, except in the episode Formula For Disaster during a quick background shot. Tootie is bullied by Francis, although not as frequently as Timmy and his friends. Tootie also knows who Trixie Tang is, but it is not known exactly how she feels about her romantic rival. In the episode "You Doo!", Tootie knows about Timmy's crush on Trixie and is jealous of her, but in the episode "Take and Fake", Tootie attends Trixie Tang's costume party as Trixie to get Timmy's affection, although it is not clear if Trixie invited Tootie to her party or not. Tootie and Trixie also appear marching side by side during a song in "School's Out!: The Musical", but have no real interaction with each other.
Tootie is also a member of the "Cream Puffs", a girl scout type organization lead by Mrs. Turner, and Tootie has earned a merit badge in CPR ("mouth to mouth") which she sometimes reminds Timmy much to his dismay. This later comes into play when Timmy is knocked out after running into a wall in darkness trying to get away from Tootie in the episode "Lights Out". After Timmy wakes up at the hospital, the doctor tells Timmy that he was saved by Tootie who gave him "passionate mouth to mouth". In "Oh, Brother!", Tootie was the lead dancer during one of the Sugar Cream Puff ballet pageants, and performed her routine perfectly even when she was crying because Timmy and his wished up brother Tommy were both no shows, although Timmy showed up at the end to win her back after sabotaging Tommy's attempts to get there. Besides her one sided relationship with Timmy, it is not known who her friends are, and it is said that Vicky scares away many of them. Besides her fellow Cream Puffs, Timmy, and occasionally Chester, A.J., and Elmer, Tootie rarely appears with any other character her age. She is also seen playing jump-rope with two nondescript girls in the book "Time Out!".
As revealed in "Birthday Wish!", Tootie is twice as miserable as Timmy. When Timmy loans her Cosmo and Wanda for her birthday, she uses them to throw a big birthday party, but Cosmo and Wanda did not have enough time to explain to her Da Rules, and Tootie wanted to reveal them to everybody because she thought it would be rude to keep them a secret. Some speculate that this is the reason Tootie is never given a fairy, although there is no real evidence for this. In the live action film, Tootie apparently learns of Timmy's fairies at one point of the film, with little to no consequence to Timmy, as seen by scenes where she speaks with and hugs them.
Channel Chasers
- Main article: Channel Chasers
Although Tootie is never shown as an adult in Channel Chasers, it is widely assumed by many that she married Timmy and is the mother of Timmy's children. Tammy Turner shares her distinctive glasses, mouth shape, and plaid clothing. Tommy Turner has her hair color and nose shape. Timmy's children are babysat by a robot modeled by a company owned by Vicky meaning that her family still has some sort of connection with the Turners. Official word from Butch Hartman himself on the matter reveals that it could be anybody, but Timmy's children were designed to have features of both Tootie and Trixie to leave it up to the viewer's imagination and preference, although Tootie's positive presence in the movie and her distinctive glasses being Tammy's, coupled with the fact that Timmy didn't live in a mansion in the future, most noticeable feature led to many viewers assuming it was Tootie regardless.
More recently, the official website of the "The Fairly Odd Movie" contains a character quiz where one of the questions indicates that Tootie would name her first child "Tammy" or "Tommy", this being the only existing connection between a love interest and the children by an official source seems to be a subtle confirmation that Tootie is the mother.
Adult Tootie
| Live-action Tootie
Information on the live action counterpart of this character is available on this page
- Main article: A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!
Tootie is a main character in the live action television movie "A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!". Thirteen years into the future, Tootie is returning home to Dimmsdale after moving away for a long time, but is now a smart and very beautiful woman who loves nature and opposes Hugh J. Magnate Jr.'s attempts to tear down the Dimmsdale Dogwood, a tree she used to climb as a kid, and turn the surrounding park into an Oil Well/Hotel. After meeting Timmy, she is shown to still be interested in him, but Timmy avoids her advances so he can keep his fairies, as falling in love with her would cause him to officially "grow up" and he would lose them.
Tootie quickly shows up at Timmy's house, where his parents immediately try to marry her off to Timmy in a desperate attempt to get rid of their son. Tootie sees Timmy trying to escape, and eventually corners him and suggests going to get a smoothie together, a weakness which causes Timmy to cave in. Timmy and Tootie spend time together in a date montage as "Lookin' Like Magic" plays in the background. Eventually they wind up together eating dinner at a fancy restaurant, where Tootie gifts Timmy a new hat and causes his fairies to become increasingly jealous and worried they'll lose Timmy. Cosmo and Wanda try to interfere with Timmy and Tootie's budding relationship by ruining their dinner. Timmy decides to make up for it by granting a wish Tootie had told him she wanted, to restore the Dimmsdale Park around the dogwood tree.
Timmy takes Tootie to the park, where he surprises her by showing it had been magically restored. Timmy and Tootie sit in the dogwood tree together, which begins to blossom magically above them (if one looks closely in the tree, they can also see Tootie+Timmy and Timmy's Mom+Timmy's Dad carved into it). They begin to kiss, but Wanda cries out and Timmy falls out of the tree suspiciously, causing Tootie to suspect he is hiding something or someone from her. After a short fight with Timmy, Tootie storms off, but is captured by Hugh J. Magnate along with Timmy's fairies, where she meets them and realizes what Timmy was hiding from her all along. Timmy rescues her, and in order to save his fairies' lives, he confesses his love for Tootie and shares a long and passionate kiss with her, causing his fairies to disappear as he is now a grown up, but saving their lives from the Magic draining device they were trapped in.
Timmy and Tootie, now a couple, are allowed by Jorgen Von Strangle to keep Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, so long as they use their wishes for selfless purposes. Together, Timmy and Tootie set up a business called "Wishful Thinking", and use the fairies' powers for helping the world. They travel the world granting wishes to children, but during Christmas this gets Timmy in trouble with Santa, and Tootie helps Timmy and his fairies as they travel across the North Pole to get Timmy removed from the naughty list. At one point, Tootie and the fairies are separated from Timmy, but Tootie speaks to a penguin to find a way back to Timmy. With the help of Mr. Crocker, Timmy and Tootie succeeded in saving Christmas, and they share a kiss underneath the mistletoe.
From this point on the movie ends and both their futures are unclear, although some hints from the official Nickelodeon website suggest that Tootie eventually would name her first child "Tammy" or "Tommy", there is only speculation at this point as to how her future fits in with Timmy's as seen in "Channel Chasers", which apparently takes place several years after the live action FOP movies, even more after the events of A Fairly Odd Summer, where Timmy becomes a fairy at the ending of the movie and Marty and Mitzie became Cosmo, Wanda and Poof's godchildren.
Other Appearances
Tootie has made a number of appearances in other media besides the main series.
Tootie's first appearance as a Nicktoon was actually in the comic, "The Big Surprise". She resembled her appearance in "Boy Toy" but with round glasses and no braces. She had a brief cameo at the end of the comic, where Vicky revealed that she had brought her "annoying little sister" over for a slumber party, the big surprise that Timmy's parents were hiding from him.
Tootie's next appearance was in the comic, "Pack of Lies", where she appeared at the beginning asking Timmy to attend an "I love Timmy festival" she was holding in his honor. Timmy flatly refused and made up a lie to get out of it. Vicky later confronted him about this, so Timmy used his fairies to get him out of any lies he made. Eventually Vicky forced Timmy to get her and Tootie tickets to the circus where they could see his lie unfold, but at the circus Timmy confessed to Tootie that he made everything up to get out of her love festival offer. Vicky is about to hurt Timmy, but Tootie steps in between them and forgives Timmy because she thinks Timmy paid for the whole circus himself for her. She then starts attempting to kiss Timmy, who holds her off at arms length.
She also appeared in another comic, "Literally!", where she entered Timmy's room to thank him for saving Vicky's life earlier. Timmy told her to "buzz off", and because of a wish where anything he said to another person turned that person into it, she was turned into a bee. She chased after Timmy for a while, and was later seen pollinating a flower when she was turned back to normal.
Tootie has some brief background shots in some other comics, such as "It's Not Over Till the Babysitter Sings" and "Elmerella", in both cases she is not even drawn accurately.
Tootie is the center character in a short Spanish comic "Un Cuento de Hadas", where she writes a story that somehow comes to life involving Timmy rescuing her from a castle where Vicky is holding her prisoner.
In the chapter book, Token Wishes, Tootie plays a major role when she finds a box of wish tokens that Timmy had left lying around. These tokens can grant her every wish, so she immediately wishes for a variety of girly things to play with Timmy using the tokens. Timmy's friends and Vicky laughed at them, much to Tootie's anger, to the point that she uses a wish token to blow Vicky away with a tornado. Tootie uses a wish token to kiss Timmy, but he started crying because he was miserable and humiliated, so Tootie gave him the last wish token and he reset the events of the entire day. Afterward, Tootie came up to Timmy and asked to play, and he accepted.
Tootie also appears in "In a Tizzy over Turkey", where Timmy ended up at her house while searching for the perfect Thanksgiving meal. Nobody was at Tootie's house except Vicky, who was actually sad that her family was stuck in the cold because their car had broken down. Timmy sent his parents to pick everyone up and bring them to the Turner's house, where they enjoyed a dinner with a tofu turkey. Tootie was overjoyed that she got to sit next to Timmy.
In the Easter-themed storybook, "Timmy's Eggs-Ray Vision", Tootie was part of an chocolate Easter egg hunt going on in Dimmsdale Park. Timmy was able to find a lot of eggs using X-ray vision, but he also saw Vicky push over Tootie and steal all of her eggs, so Timmy gave up a handful of his eggs to Tootie and then used his X-ray vision to melt the chocolate eggs Vicky had stolen.
Video Games
Tootie appears in several video games involving the Fairly OddParents. She appears in "The Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules" (console version) in a cutscene where she enters Timmy's house and scares him purposely to tease him, before telling him that she was taking Doidle for a walk and to bring him to Vicky. She remarks that she wants her own dog too before leaving for a moment. Vicky comes, and because of her ability to grant wishes due to the plot of the game, she turns Timmy into a dog. Tootie returns and sees Timmy as a dog and immediately loves him, but Timmy runs away and is captured outside his house by a person who brings him to the mall. Timmy cannot be wished back to normal because Tootie is in love with his dog form. At this point the playable level begins, where the player controls Dog Timmy through the mall, avoiding Tootie who will knock the player out in one hit if she reaches them. The player must reach the mud baths, where they make Dog Timmy muddy and dirty. After splashing mud on Tootie, she doesn't like Dog Timmy anymore and leaves, so he is able to wish himself back to normal and the level is completed.
Tootie is also mentioned, but not seen, in the PC version of Breakin Da Rules. Timmy mistakes a younger Nicky (Tootie's mother) for her when he travels to the past. Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda mention that Nicky resembles Tootie, and they speak and sound exactly alike, but Nicky in the game uses the same model as 5-year-old Vicky from "The Switch Glitch", a mistake by the developers or a cost cutting measure. When the player arrives in the time frame to get something from Timmy's parents as children (erroneously taking place in 1950 and not 1970), they encounter Nicky, who Timmy immediately mistakes for Tootie before Cosmo points out that it is actually her and Vicky's mother as a little girl. Nicky likes Timmy and wants to hold his hand on the way to school, but Timmy rejects her. Nicky becomes more demanding, so Cosmo tells Timmy to flee before she falls in love with him and causes a time paradox.
Tootie appears in Nicktoons: Freeze Frame Frenzy near the very end of the fourth level, where she is hidden in a locker. She only has two sprites in the entire game, although she was seemingly fortunate to be included at all as all of the other sprites are from Season 1 episodes, characters, and scenes. She has some cameo appearances in the webcomic Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi along with Timmy.
Relationship with Timmy
- "That's okay Timmy, I'll wait for you forever."
- — Tootie, Boy Toy
- Main article: Timmy and Tootie
Tootie is in love with Timmy. Although every other girl on the show regards Timmy as a "buck-toothed loser", Tootie thinks he is a "dream boat hunk". She almost always greets Timmy with a kiss or a suffocating hug, and will chase after him whenever he tries to run away. In a few episodes Tootie even goes as far as to spy on Timmy, although strangely she never discovers his fairies. Timmy on the other hand usually tries to avoid Tootie, and in some cases is downright mean to her, more often than not tries to make things up to her. Timmy is also sympathetic to the fact that Tootie has to live with Vicky and put up with her every day. But in the episode "Dread and Breakfast", he considers Tootie one of the "villains" he is up against when she, Dark Laser and Mister Crocker stay a night at their house while all trying to get Timmy.
Relationship with Vicky
- "Some say she's insane. Me? I think it's because she is evil. I think she's icky... Icky with a V."
- — Tootie, Channel Chasers
Relationship with Trixie
In terms of fandom, Trixie and Tootie are rivals, mainly because they are the two main love interests in the show. Interestingly enough though, they have very rarely appeared together throughout the entire series. Only in one episode does one girl even acknowledge that the other exists, in "You Doo" when Tootie insults Trixie through the use of a Timmy You Doo Doll, although even in this instance it is still not clear if Tootie actually knows about Timmy's crush on her or if she is just jealous of Trixie's popularity. In the episode "Take and Fake", Tootie was present at Trixie's costume party dressed as Trixie.
Tootie and Trixie also marched alongside each other in the song "Adults Ruin Everything" from the movie "School's Out!: The Musical". It is unlikely though that this had any meaning, due to it being part of a song and a brief part at that.
Relationship with Cosmo and Wanda
Tootie is one of the few human characters besides Timmy to have directly encountered fairies, in particular Cosmo and Wanda, when Timmy loans her his fairies out of guilt from contributing to Tootie's bad birthday party. They praise her wish making ability, and she is so grateful for their actions she wants to tell everyone about them, breaking one of the most important of Da Rules. The effects of the wish wore off before she could give out their secret however, and her memories of Cosmo and Wanda were erased completely. Cosmo and Wanda have sometimes encouraged Timmy to treat Tootie better and they pity her always, and have at other times assisted him in avoiding her.
In "Grow Up, Timmy Turner!", Tootie helps Timmy in his attempt to save them, and becomes "part of their extended family", as Wanda puts it, thanks to the "Timmy Turner loophole" in Da Rules.

Move In Style necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
Our logo must have a lounge style. We want our internet site to be sober and loungy. We are thinking of one and the same color for our logo, with one flashy colour in it.
Move In Style
Empty Property Management
Desired Color Scheme:
Sober but with a flashy colour in it
Desired Style:
Style MUST be lounge. Our communication, internet site etc are planned to be in this style.
Accepted File Formats:
*.eps (vectorized)
Our company starts a service into empty property management. Essentially we place renters into houses/properties (but not lived in) that are for sale or are property of a family. We offer the owners a free service for maintaining the house in good shape.
Our logo should as a result reflect that we are active into real estate, but not the classical meaning of it.
Our company name is Move In Style, move because first the owners might be moving and don't need to worry about the state of their property (that's why they can 'move' in style) and second because the renters will move every x months into another property, but they 'move' (in the hole sense of the word) in style (because most of the properties are big ones). This 'move' can also be reflected in the logo.
The inititials could also be used MIS, with mention of Move In Style under it, completed or not by 'Empty Property Management'

Historical Context
Table ofContents
The following activities will help students better understand the forces that led up to the Battle of Mill Springs and the ways in which communities, including their own, commemorate those killed during war.
Activity 1: Choosing Sides
Kentuckians had a difficult choice to make in the Civil War: which side best represented their interests? Which side was morally right? Which side did they feel closer to? Have students create a Civil War-era character for themselves, defining such traits as age, occupation, income, and family background. Have each write a short speech (30-60 seconds) in which they explain who they are, which side they will support, and why. They should try to persuade other students to join their side. Ask those that switched sides what arguments caused them to change their minds. Conclude by discussing what reasons, if any, were convincing enough to convince them to go to war.
Activity 2: Soldiers' View
Weather and weaponry played an important part in the outcome of the Battle of Mill Springs. Have students review Reading 2, marking all the references to weather and weaponry. Have students assume the role of a Confederate soldier at Mill Springs towards the end of the battle, when it becomes clear how desperate the situation is. Each should quickly write a note to a loved one to be delivered if the author is killed. The note should describe what the conditions were like during the Battle of Mill Springs, including weather, terrain, and the misfiring weapons, and soldiers' reaction to these developments. It may be instructive to give students a time limit so that they feel the urgency of conveying what might be their last words in just a short period.
Activity 3: Community Action
Through her actions, Dorothea Burton Hudson preserved and protected a historical place and honored the dead. The memorial she helped create now is an important part of the community. How are wars, and the men who fought in them, remembered in the local community? Have students find a memorial and describe it, including a physical description, what it says, and where it is located. Students may also want to research the history of this memorial. Libraries and local historical societies are good places to find this information.

Rain Barrels and Why You Should Have One
Article written by Saturday6 blogger Amy Andrychowicz from Get Busy Gardening!
April showers bring May flowers, so why not capture some of those showers with a rain barrel. Rain barrels are used to capture and store rainwater that drains off the roof. Using a rain barrel helps conserve water, reduces runoff and saves you money on your water bill.
Not only is having a rain barrel good for the environment and your wallet, it's great for your plants too. Rainwater is much better for plants than tap water, which contains chemicals that can build up in the soil and harm sensitive plants. The water collected in rain barrels can be used for tons of home and garden chores. Just think of all the ways you could save money on your water bill by using rainwater:
- Watering houseplants, outdoor potted plants and the garden
- Filling up ponds and water features
- Washing the car, boat and other recreational vehicles
- Cleaning garden tools and equipment
- Washing windows and screens
These are just a few ideas; the list of uses for rainwater goes on and on.
The first thing to think about when you get a rain barrel is where to put it. You'll want to place it under a downspout, and the location you choose should be fairly level. Also, it's easier to fill watering cans if the rain barrel is raised off the ground. I use inexpensive cinder blocks to elevate and level my rain barrels.
If possible, find a spot where rainwater overflow won't matter. Most rain barrels have an overflow valve where the excess water can drain out when the barrel is full. However, when there's a heavy rainfall, the release valve can become overwhelmed, causing excess water to bubble over the top of the barrel.
If you're concerned about water leaking into your basement, you can purchase a special downspout attachment. This attachment will turn off the flow of water to the rain barrel once it's full, allowing the water to flow through the downspout as it normally would.
Another concern with rain barrels is bugs, especially mosquitoes. Some rain barrels are made to keep bugs and debris out, but others are not. If your rain barrel doesn't have a screen to cover the opening, you can simply cover it with a piece of window screen.
Setting up a rain barrel only takes a few minutes; all you need is a screwdriver and a ladder. Start by removing the metal downspout at the seam and replacing it with adjustable plastic tubing. Next, attach the tubing to the gutter with screws so it won't blow away. Then all you have to do is adjust the tubing so it empties into the rain barrel.
In cold climates, rain barrels must be emptied and stored during the winter. Storing it in a garage, shed or somewhere out of direct sunlight will help extend the life of the rain barrel. Barrels stored outside should be stored upside down or covered to avoid water accumulation.
Collecting rainwater in a rain barrel is an easy way to help the environment and conserve drinking water. Gardener or not, everyone can benefit from having one.

Delivery of R7 million Aid
Following the emergency situation created by the cyclone "Chedza" and the floods in January 2015 Gift of the Givers responded to the Madagascan Government appeal. The South African Government partnered with the Gift of the Givers to provide the humanitarian assistance we are delivered on 22 September 2016.
The international community, which South Africa is part of, is aware that, Madagascar is prone to cyclones and it is among the most vulnerable countries in the world in terms of climate change. It is, therefore, important that our two neighbouring and sister countries, work closely together to mitigate the effects of these difficult conditions which negatively affect and disrupt the daily living conditions of the ordinary people.
Gift of the Givers provided R7 million worth of Food Parcels and Blankets to Chief District of Mampikony, Madagascar.
