Cooperated Projects
Bei Fragen zur Förderung nutzen Sie bitte zunächst die bereitgestellten Informationen. Unsere Verwaltung steht Ihnen darüber hinaus gerne telefonisch zur Verfügung:
The NRW KULTURsekretariat is a cooperative venture that in particular promotes and funds multi-city initiatives.
For example, initiatives that work across cities are motivated and supported in times of tight (cultural) municipal budgets.
In addition to the genre-related and interdisciplinary programmes from theatre to art, from the promotion of reading skills to cultural education, the »cooperated projects« have therefore existed for years.
Regardless of the genre, they subsidise highly promising events and projects that are supported jointly by at least two member cities or their institutions.
Applications that indicate the respective share of the municipal partners can be made all year round. In order to satisfy the increasing demand for this programme, the funds have been continuously increased over the past years.
For years, the "Cooperated Projects" have formed a well-functioning basis for long-term and sustainable further development of successful programme approaches.
The successful series "Soundtrips NRW" and the portal "tanzweb.org", which has been continued independently since 2016 and which will be expanded into an information platform, have proven for years how permanent and growing networks can arise from initiated and funded projects, which are forming independent funding priorities.
In 2018, the "Literarischer Sommer" (Literary Summer) was also detached from the Cooperated Projects« and provided with special funding.
A total of 14 "cooperated projects" in Bochum, Bonn, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Cologne, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Münster, Neuss, Oberhausen and Wuppertal were funded in the past year.

If you've ever wondered what a massive phone with a touch panel on the back and a quirky rotating camera looks like, Chinese manufacturer Oppo has you covered with their N1 smartphone.
Huge. Gigantic. Monstrous. These are just a few of the words you'll hear people use when they see you pull an Oppo N1 out of your pocket. Oppo has been making slow progress in getting the attention of a US audience, helped recently by a partnership with the CyanogenMod team and a very active social networking team.
The Oppo N1 is their flagship phone with a major push towards unique hardware. The two things you'll notice outside of the sheer height of the device is the touch panel on the back and the rotating camera that offers a single powerful sensor for rear and front facing photos.
Oppo has done an amazing job making the phone feel nice and solid. It's got a bit of weight to it, but it feels quite sturdy. The outer shell is coated so it grips just enough that you can try to hold it with one hand. This material is softer where the touch panels is on the back of the phone, making it possible to feel for the square as you try to navigate with one hand. The camera feels sturdy as well, it only moves when you really try to push it out of its standard position, and when you push it back it snaps into place with a satisfying click.
Compared to the plastic feel of the LG G2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Oppo has certainly achieved the nicest overall feel in this category of humongous smartphones.
We'll be spending some more time with this phone in the coming weeks, as well as the limited edition CyanogenMod variant of the handset. So far there's very little not to like, outside of the lack of LTE due to this being a phone made for a country where LTE isn't widely offered yet.

Cream on the inside, Pork on the Outside, Cream on the inside Pork on the Outside, Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Pork Cream paint job! (yikesitude)
The process starts with buying a pork shoulder, or "Boston Butt" as they say. Here is the one that I bought at the grocery store.
Here is what it looks like after 14 hours:
As you can see, there is an incredible amount of fluid in the pot. This is mostly the PSA, but there is also a large amount of pork fat as well. Calm down health nuts, we're going to get rid of it with the refrigerator.
After fridge:
After the fat is removed:
If you did not gather from the above pictures, the fat solidifies nicely in the refridgerator and you can easily remove it with a spoon. I once asked my mother what the fat was good for, and she told me it was good for the trash. So that where I put it. Now, what to do with the shredded pork? This is what you do with it:
So pretty much this was my lunch for many many days. You can also make shredded pork tacos, which are always good with a little slice of avacado. I have found succcess in the past using the adobo sauce out of a can of chipotles for flavoring. Its important to remember that although the pork has a pretty good flavor right out of the crock pot, it is merely a base on which to build other more powerful flavors. So BBQ sauce works well, and prettty much any strong flavoring you can think of suits it well. Pow Pow.
Altogether Now: Mirepoix
Put these items in a pan with olive oil salt and pepper, and sweat on low heat until the onion are translucent and the carrots become soft and sweet and delicious. While this is happening, I chopped and added the following:
Shitake Mushrooms:
(To be honest, a lot of this recipe was a "clean out the fridge of all of the vegetables before they go bad" recipe)
And a cup or two of this:
And all of this:

The past decade in fashion has given fresh prominence to the supermodels. Since the 90s heyday of names such as Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, supermodels have evolved from mere window-dressing into the driving force behind collections from some of the world's biggest brands. A case in point: Gigi Hadid and Tommy Hilfiger.
On the final night of Milan Fashion Week, the fashion industry's power couple brought Milan to a halt with something more akin to a rock concert than a fashion show. In partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, four times Formula One world champions, Tommy Hilfiger took over the city's Milano Congressi convention centre, the largest in Europe, to show collections illustrating Hilfiger and Hadid's shared love of motorsports and Formula One racing in front of a crowd of over 2,000 guests.
Instead of a catwalk, there was a racetrack flanked by a 'pit crew' wearing Tommy Hilfiger jumpsuits and helmets, clustered around Mercedes-AMG Formula One racing cars. As expected, first on the track was Gigi Hadid herself, quickly followed by model siblings Bella Hadid and Anwar Hadid, all sporting the fourth TommyXGigi capsule collection, co-designed by Hadid, making the motorsport influences even clearer.
Skin-tight racer-girl trousers in blue, black and white leather panelling, bandeau tops emblazoned with slogans such as 'speed winner', and black and white racing-flag checks across choker necklaces, headbands and swimwear were the most obvious nods to the world of motorsports from the model's capsule collection.
The collaboration was styled with pieces from the standalone Hilfiger Collection, effectively showing two collections at once. These included denim jackets and jumpsuits printed with archival logos, and contemporary, boxy, cropped takes on the brand's signature polo shirts. Look after look, the two collections gave a fresh, racing-inspired and, frankly, more interesting, twist to the luxury athleisure trend that has dominated fashion weeks in recent years.
Closing the show, the Hadid sisters took to the track once again, this time in Hilfiger Collection maxidresses, adding the most elegant touch to the collection, before Mr Hilfiger joined his collaborator in person, leading the 60-strong troop of models down the track for the show's finale.
Reflecting the fashion industry's constant push for innovation, all the pieces seen on the racetrack were available to purchase once the show was over. Tommy Hilfiger is continuing his commitment to the see-now-buy-now format, allowing fans to immediately replicate the looks worn by Hadid et al at the event's own TommyNow Drive pop-up shop and online at tommy.com.

Innovative use of cinder-bessa-betta blocks
Where, oh where to start! There are so many useful, fun, and just plain crazy ways to use concrete blocks. Working our way down the list, let's start with some useful things to make using this amazing building resource:-
- Turn a patio into a private courtyard by turning your concrete blocks side on, and allowing the light and air to pass through.
- Flower beds can be made more interesting in several ways: by raising them into stepped beds then building them up with sand and soil to create a contoured garden or by placing the blocks side on and using the holes for individual "plant pots" around the edges of the garden bed.
- Creating strong, easy to build stairs or with the help of some sand, a ramp for easy access to a higher area.
Moving on to the fun things, some ideas we came across were:-
- A miniature castle complete with battlements for your young marauders & defenders.
- A cheap but strong wine rack which, depending on how the blocks are placed, can be both interesting and space-saving.
- A pillar on which to put the speakers of a sound system. Glued together end-on and painted or rendered in a nice bright colour, not only can bessa blocks make a good sound system better, but the holes also provide a great place to store CDs.
- Build a wall with random placing of up-side-down capping blocks at right angles to the course, so that half of it sticks out. This makes a great cavity to put hanging plants or strawberries. You can then render the finished wall with textured render or a bagged effect and you have privacy without having to stare at a blank wall.
- Using some sand and concrete blocks, you can make a stand for your water-tank at the perfect height for a bucket to be placed underneath.
Now on to our favourite list, the "how did they think that one up?" category:-
- A bird nesting box. It's true, we saw a concrete Bessa block suspended in a tree from galvanised wire or chain with two little wooden faceplates, each with a hole and a peg for a perch and a solid wood back-plate.
- A base for a gym. We came across a man who had made his own bench-press out of Bessa blocks. It was built to his height and was therefore more useful and cheaper than a bought one.
- One amazing person had created a wall that looks like a quilt by painting or rendering one face of each block with intricate patterns and then placing the concrete blocks vertically and horizontally in a herringbone pattern.
- The craziest of all applications for a cinder block was the toaster… yep, someone actually drilled a couple of holes to insert an element at the top of a one-hole block and then plugged it in and called it a toaster.
We suggest you don't try this last one at home, but it does show that how you choose to use concrete blocks is only limited by your imagination! Who says landscaping supplies cannot be innovative?

CCTV Leeds
Whilst security cameras may seem excessive in order to protect your home, there is no doubt that their presence alone can have a huge impact on whether or not your home is burgled. There is no doubt that criminals are far more likely to attack a property that doesn't have a security system installed, than one that does.
Security cameras may seem excessive for home protection, yet their presence can have a major impact on whether your home is burgled. The knowledge that a home has CCTV cameras can easily convince a thief to go elsewhere, because the threat of being caught becomes too great. Not only will authorities likely be notified quickly, but there will be visual evidence of the intruder. Thus, if you want the most effective CCTV Leeds has to offer, turn to EDT Security Solutions.
We provide a range of security systems for both domestic and commercial use. By visiting your premises and assessing your specific needs, we can design the perfect alarm system to suit your individual requirements. Alarms, motion detectors, security lighting and a broad selection of security cameras and recording equipment are just a minor element of the equipment that we can provide and install.
EDT Security has been serving the North of England since 2005, helping customers to install the most superior CCTV Leeds has available. We offer a free, no-obligation security survey of your property to discuss any questions or concerns that you might have and to ensure that we design and recommend the best possible system for your needs.
Often, the simple presence of a camera can act as a deterrent. When it comes to CCTV options, there are many choices to suit your needs and location. For some homes and businesses, a fixed camera may be more than enough. For others, cameras that can tilt, zoom and pan may better serve their purposes. Other options include joystick-controlled cameras, high-speed dome cameras, and cameras with low-light capabilities, as well as multi-image viewing.
As part of our initial security survey, our trained experts will determine the most beneficial locations for your CCTV security cameras. The proper positioning of these is absolutely vital and should never be underestimated in order to ensure a full and clear view of all vulnerable areas on site and make sure that there are no blind spots.
Here at EDT, we are fully aware that time is money. Your time is valuable and our friendly and helpful team will schedule your installation at a time to suit you. Whether you require our engineers to install your CCTV system in an evening or even over the weekend, our promise is to ensure that your convenience, not to mention your security, is never compromised.
As specialist providers of both wired and wireless security systems, EDT can provide the perfect CCTV security system to suit your specific property and personal preferences. Contrary to popular belief, signals of a wireless system will not be interfered with by other signals and we can even integrate the cameras and digital recorders with your LAN or WAN so that you can view your home or property over the internet, even when you are away from it.
EDT Security Solutions not only provide a fully comprehensive CCTV installation, but also a servicing and maintenance contract to include digital video recorders, IP camera installation, network video recorders, covert CCTV systems and remote viewing access, including via mobile phones.
Without doubt, EDT offers the most comprehensive, cost-effective CCTV Leeds can give you; providing an extensive selection of viewing and recording features that enable you to watch what is happening in real time or delayed time and even to record all movements in your absence to ensure the utmost of safety and security for your property, possessions and people inside of it.

Ready Mix Plaster Saves Time and Cost
Ready mix products are helping construction companies save both time and cost. The instant solubility and formation of the product needed is what helps them save so. If you are not aware of readymade products, you need not worry as the same along with other detailed information on ready mix plasters have been covered in the post further. Let us get started.
What are ready-made products?
Normally, in order to make a construction mixture, say cement, multiple products were to be arranged and mixed separately. The quantities were to be ascertained and a number of chemicals were also to be added in order to make the mixture ready.
However, ready-made products, as the name suggests, are sachets or a mixture of these materials. No addition has to be made. Most of the ready mix materials can be activated or formed with the help of water. After the water has been added, a quick mix with the help of a tool will form the final mixture.
Ready mix plasters make hole filling a self-task
Just like any other ready mix product, a ready mix plaster can be formed by adding the defined quantity of water into the powder and mixing it until a paste is formed. This paste is to be applied on the area or filled in the areas as desired. The ready mix plaster is very easy to form with no appropriation of definitive quantities. Even a person who is not aware of anything related to plastering will also be able to perform the task without any hassle.
In order to apply the plaster, you will need to follow the below-mentioned steps:
- Get sandpaper, which will be used to provide an edge-free finish to the hole or the wall that is to be filled or covered with the plaster. Gently place the paper on top of the area and rub in an outwards direction to smooth out the edges and surface.
- Next, using a thin tool, remove any products that are left inside the hole. Generally, it is seen that some residues such as sand and brick piece are left over inside the hole, which later on affects the plaster finish.
- Now grab the ready mix plaster. You won't have a hard time purchasing one, just go to any hardware store and ask for the one by the best ready mix plaster manufacturers in India.
- Empty the contents of the packet into a bowl or a container. Do not throw away the wrapping yet.
- Fill in the hole with newspaper pieces to make the plastering more effective.
- After that, read the wrapping of plaster mix to find the quantity of water that has to be added to the power of ready mix plaster.
- Get the same quantity as instructed on the packet, and then use a spatula or any other tool to mix the content.
- Apply it onto the desired area.
By doing this yourself, you will save yourself from the hassle of hiring a worker and also the cost of his services.

Davina McCall will host part of 'Big Brother' from inside the house tonight.
The presenter will introduce the show's highlights and eviction news alongside the housemates, who must do their best not to react or acknowledge her presence as part of this week's 'Ignore the Obvious' task.
Jedward are also set to enter the house today,
The 'X Factor' finalists - twins John and Edward Grimes - will perform their new single, 'All the Small Things' from the garden.
If the housemates are successful in the task, the group will win a luxury shopping budget and messages from home.
The housemates have already incurred at least one fail after Mario burst into tears after seeing his grandfather dressed as Father Christmas in the Diary Room, shortly after they received 11 fails in the first 11 minutes of the task.
The compound will be full of drama tonight, with a new housemate joining the group following the departure of Laura earlier this week.
Graffiti artist Sam Pepper, 21, was one of the six hopefuls vying for a place in the house last week when the current housemates had to select three new people to join them.
He will now enter tonight, though he may face a rough welcome as he reportedly annoyed several contestants when they met during the audition process.
Meanwhile, the housemates thought there was a surprise eviction last night when Big Brother called the four nominated contestants - Ben, John James, Dave and Andrew - to the Diary Room at around 1.30am.
The group were concerned when only Ben, Dave and Andrew returned, wearing solemn expressions before the Christian minister buried his head in his hands and pretended to sob.
However, Dave soon started to laugh at his concerned housemates, admitting the prank had been John James' idea and he had not been evicted.
Josie said: "My heart sank then. He told you to do that? What a little w****r!"

Kampai! For the Love of Sake Trailer (2016)
Trailer for Kampai! For the Love of Sake.
Japanese cuisine is now one of the most popular cuisines all over the globe. However, there is one essential component that is often missing at the tables of international Japanese eateries SAKE. Sake, often called Japanese rice wine, is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice and has a wide range of variety. This special drink has a long, deep history in Japanese culture, but outside of Japan, its still not well known and somewhat inaccessible, which makes it very hard to enjoy sake if you're trying it for the first time.
A British sake brewer, an American journalist, and a young president of a century old sake brewery in Japan join together to explore the mysterious world of sake, or Japanese rice wine. The film illustrates how these unique individuals who have been fascinated with this extraordinary beverage of Japanese origin meet the challenges of the current sake industry, investigating the rich, complex, and spectacular world of sake.

Delaware Traffic Violations, Points, and Driver License Suspensions
In order to keep track of traffic violations and potential problem drivers, Delaware uses a points system. Under this point system, drivers amass points for violations, the most serious of citations having the most points. Points on your driving record can increase your insurance rates and lead to license suspension. Find common infractions and their point values below.
- Speeding 1 - 9 miles mph over posted limit: 2 points
- Speeding 10 - 14 mph over posted limit: 4 points
- Speeding 15 - 19 mph over posted limit: 5 points
- Speeding 20 mph or more over posted limit: 5 points and/or license suspension
- Passing a Stopped School Bus: 6 points
- Reckless Driving: 6 points
- Aggressive Driving: 6 points
- Disregarding Stop Sign or Red Light: 3 points
- Other Moving Violations: 2 points
If you're pulled over multiple times in a single year, your Delaware's license is usually suspended. The info underneath indicates the quantity of points against your Delaware driver record that can lead to suspension. You can prevent having your driver's license revoked by taking defensive driving in some instances. You may also be required by law to take a Delaware Aggressive Driver Program if you receive too many tickets.
- 8 points: An advisory letter
- 12 points: Driver must complete a behavior modification/attitudinal-driving course with-in 90 days after notification. Failure to comply or upon preference of the driver, mandatory 2-month suspension will be imposed.
- 14 points: Mandatory 4-month license suspension. To become eligible for reinstatement, the driver must complete or have completed a behavior modification/attitudinal-driving course within the previous 2 years.

This post inaugurates a series of write-ups on the Users Experiences under Digitalisation. Like this post, they will be based on the field experiences of the team members and researchers of the project Tracking Access under Digitalization. The team is conducting in- depth interviews with Cable & DTH users in Delhi and Patna to understand coping mechanism (of television users) to Digitization of Television Distribution.
I had the unique albeit disjointed experience of being present at interviews as well as conducting them for TAD in March this year- nearly four months after I had stopped engaging with the evolving cable scene in the country. My experience with the interviews had till then been restricted to the Pilot Study conducted in June 2014, though this had a different format. The pace in that instance was slow as the respondents were more often than not, people who were known to the team. An average interview lasted for two and a half, to three hours at times. I recall discussing with Pranav of the Center for Knowledge Societies (CKS) that if an interview didn't yield enough the option to scrap it should be kept open. This particular suggestion still remains relevant. And I will come back to it later.
Cut to March 2015: The questionnaire remained largely the same, with a few additions/changes made after reviewing it in the aftermath of the pilot. The thing that stayed with me about the Pilot study was that way too much time was spent on eliciting information about the family history and the respondent's general background. And that by the time we reached the later sections, the respondents were distracted and the answers we got in those sections were a lot less rich than the ones' we got before. Therefore this time round we debated if it made more sense to turn around the flow of questions- i.e. the ones towards the end were asked first while the initial lot involving family history and background were pushed for later.
We put to test our new interview format during one of our sessions. The TAD interviewer, Feroze got to the 'meat' of the issue right at the beginning. The 'meat' in this case being questions closely related to the actual changeover from analogue to digital, the broadest goal of our project. The questions typically related to how and why the subscriber's decided to change over from analogue to digital, the visual experience, problems confronting cable or DTH connection, billing options, content preferences and the like.
But then we realized that this had not turned out as expected. The hazards of starting with the more 'boring' and technical questions without easing the interviewee into the situation actually became problematic. The answers were pat, reductive and not thought through. The good thing about the earlier experience where we asked questions exactly in the order that it was framed in, had the merit of making the interviewees comfortable. He/she gets used to the flow and considering the length of the questionnaire which takes approximately an hour to complete, the respondent would actually warm up to the subject and than answers would flow in. Clearly the results were much better.
When people take time out to tell their lives in detail, there develops an element of comfort between the interviewer and the respondent as the latter begins sharing things of a private nature. Slowly in the course of the interview an element of trust builds up and as the interview moves towards the more dry and technical sections later, the interviewee continues to be involved with the subject at hand. And though respondents may at times hesitate, lapse into moments of silence in between questions and even not come up with a 'correct sounding' answer, it still brought value to the project.
In this regard, I am of the opinion that the questionnaire, as it is in its current sequence is well designed to let both the interviewer and respondent make that journey from initial introductions and awkwardness to a full- fledged, no-holds-barred conversation. Though one may add that in some cases the time taken to get through the questionnaire can become a discomfiting factor both for the interviewer and the interviewee. I found my teammates (and myself, sometimes), invariably speeding through questions because a stray comment or fidgeting by the respondent family had already alerted us to their decreasing interest in our questions.
I would also like to suggest a course correction. And I fall back on an insight gathered earlier that I mentioned right at the beginning- Interviewers should be empowered to think on their feet and this may involve junking interviews that don't look as working out. There have been instances where the interviewee is nervous and even paranoid about either the interviewer or about the nature of questions being asked by them. In one case we landed up in a household right in the midst of bereavement related function. In another household the chief income earner who had all the answers to our questions was bedridden with typhoid and chose to yell out his answers from inside his bedroom that was interpreted to us by his 13 year old son. The situation often turned comic with one of us repeatedly asking him, "Sorry, what did your father say, again?"

Hi! My name is Crinda and I am the Manager of For The Wild Birds.
My friend was the first owner of this small business. She started the store back in 1995 but had to close it down in November of 2007 because of a decision to relocate to Arkansas. She needed help in putting everything on clearance and, being a stay-at-home mom at that time, I had some time on my hands to contribute assistance.
So, I volunteered.
For the next 7 days of working to close the store, loyal customers came in expressing their regret in seeing a small establishment close down after years of being in business. It became clear to me that it was a treasured place and a lot of people were sad to lose it.
I had no knowledge of running a business – let alone a seed store. But I knew from the atmosphere I had been during those 7 days that it was something I was willing to learn about and wanted to be a part of.
Because of this newly-found passion, I bought her inventory and kept the store open.
I didn't know anything about feeding birds so I asked our loyal customers to teach me everything I need to learn. With their patience and enthusiasm, I acquired all the necessary information and know-how in running the business. Surprisingly, it became a new hobby for me – something I never thought I would enjoy so much.
I have already passed the family business to my son, Grant, who is nearing his last year in college. Like me, his desire to serve others unselfishly is his number one motivator in managing the business. Our team at the store also share the same perspective when it comes to their work.
It doesn't matter if a customer comes in to buy our products or simply talk about birds – we give them all the same warmth and attention. We make sure to greet them by their first names and accommodate all their queries from seed deliveries to identifying new birds in their yards.
We treat each other like family the way we do our customers. This personal relationship that we have established with each and every one of them is what sets For The Wild Birds apart from others.
When it comes to our services, For The Wild Birds has the experts in all-natural seed, bird houses, and bird-themed décor to make your yard or acreage the perfect home for your local wildlife. We offer all kinds of bird accessories such as pole systems, birdhouses and baths, bird identification books and brochures, and nesting materials just to name a few.
Our top quality brands include:
- Droll Yankees
- Birds Choice
- Aspects
- Brome
- Songbird Essentials
- Erva
- Others
We also sell local products such as:
- Santa Martha Coffee
- Wax Buffalo Candles
- Cryin' Creek Candles
- Cryin' Creek Liquor Bottle Feeder
- Benson Soap Mill Soaps
- Greg's Shaped Ground Feeders
- Bernie Houses & Churches
- Jane's Gadget Bags
- Ivan's Wooden Signs & Houses
- Terry's Bird Houses
- And many more!
We use all the products we sell at the store in our own backyard so we know the best recommendations to give you. Our bird experts at For The Wild Birds can also give you advice in attracting particular birds or deterring squirrels around your property.
So, don't be shy – drop by For The Wild Birds and say hi!

Mortgage Movies Lamar Gunn -- Zurich American Insurance Request for Admissions - Kenty Cty de Case No. JP16...
I've got to get back to play (and possible evacuation here in NYC) but first this early morning update is in order, note that ULC President Michael Houghton attended UVA Law around the time that my favorite Case Western Law Professor Ted Mearns was a UVA Professor. I worked for Professor Mearns, he's a class act.
Somethings' gotta give….. America cannot continue with this Balkanized approach to foreclosure proceedings where some principled jurists do the right thing while others are left to give homeowners the proverbial shaft on Substantive and Procedural Due Process matters. These are heady issues folks, and you have come to one of the only places on the Internet to get educated as to potentially ground-breaking changes on the horizon next year in America's troubled (euphemism: completely unlawful) banking and foreclosure industries. As the ULC considers changes (see its 11 July 2011 agenda) the Bankers Clearing House will fight back, given its position in their 6 Jan 2011 letter to ULC Chairs Michael Houghton, Esq. and Judge Harriet Lansing, authored by Joseph R. Alexander. However, as we know, the banks cannot be trusted, and their scumbag robo-signing shady attorneys like Phelan Hallinan & Schmieg will go as far as to call police on innocent homeowners and journalists, then lie to building security about whether they knew the reporter was covering the case. Got that on film, it's a wrap.
So it comes as no surprise to find that the Uniform Law Commission folks have been assiduously reading a certain link about a shady lawyer named Margaret England, who burned rubber on another innocent homeowner, Lamar Gunn. As we recall Mr. Gunn is the financial planner who lost his home to foreclosure even though he never missed a payment and the alleged underlying debt had been satisfied. When he attempted to contact her she responded with the same tired-assed DBM "Dangerous Black Man" rhetoric of a hater.
As to the Uniform Law Commission they are due to issue a comprehensive report by January, 2012 addressing standing to foreclose vis a vis possible changes to the UCC:
RESOLVED, that the Committee on Scope and Program recommends to the Executive Committee that, in view of the current foreclosure crisis, an expedited Study Committee on Mortgage Foreclosure be formed, and that the committee submit a report for consideration at the January 2012 midyear meeting. The report should identify which issues among the following recommended by the JEB on Uniform Real Property Acts should be addressed in a drafting project:
• Who can commence foreclosure?
• What evidentiary proof is required to commence a foreclosure?
• What pre-foreclosure notices must the mortgagee provide?
• What is the appropriate time and place in the foreclosure process for
alternative dispute resolution
• To what extent are statutory redemption periods warranted?
• To what extent do current foreclosure processes impose unwarranted
costs that inhibit a borrower's potential ability to redeem?
• To what extent may private actors fulfill the role of government officials
in the foreclosure process?
• What post-sale court process, if any, is required to confirm the sale, and
for what purpose?
• To what extent is the purchaser at a nonjudicial sale entitled to a presumption of the sale's validity based on the trustee's representations of compliance with the state's nonjudicial foreclosure statute?
The report should also indicate how the committee proposes to relate the act
to existing judicial and nonjudicial foreclosure procedures, and identify any
conforming changes to the Uniform Commercial Code that would be
necessary in conjunction with the project that the study committee is recommending………

Amma says "I am Jesus"
Dreamed I was in the main hall at the Vietnamese Buddhist temple where I used to live in the late 90's. Amma was there dressed in Her usual white clothes. She was sitting on top of a tall chest-of-drawers. There were a few other people there seated on the floor. One person asked Amma "Are you Jesus Christ?" Amma replied "Yes, I am Him." Then Amma asked "Who here is a Krishna bhakti?" Another person and I were laying on the floor and we sat up in response to Her question. Then Amma got off the dresser and now She was dressed in a white t-shirt and gray sweat pants. Amma had a big butt. (Sorry, Amma, I'm just telling what I saw in the dream.). I got to the hall late at night and I was sitting in meditation posture feeling sleepy. I fell asleep and woke the next morning still seated in meditation posture. I thanked Amma for allowing me to sleep all night in meditation posture. When Amma left She walked on my sleeping bag and I did a full prostration to where Her feet stepped on the sleeping bag. I was feeling nice devotion toward Amma.

The evening of July 31, 2011 was lovely – my wife and I went to an Italian restaurant for dinner. She ordered pasta with marinara sauce, and I had the fettuccini Alfredo. We were sitting outside and the temperature was a balmy 95 degrees. We took our time eating our meals, picking at them while we gabbed and laughed about our day.
Then, it hit me – a grumbling and gurgling in my stomach about an hour after I finished my meal. "Hmm, that's odd." I thought. My stomach didn't really hurt but it felt kind of annoying. I excused myself to the bathroom and came back a few minutes later, feeling somewhat better. Then it happened again- not cramps, but stomach pangs. I thought to myself, "this isn't going to be a fun night." By the time I got home I realized that I had food poisoning!
Foodborne illnesses strike about 1 in 6 Americans (48 million) every year; 128,000 people are hospitalized, and 3,000 people die from complications. Food poisoning can be caused by bacteria, viruses, toxins, or chemicals. Foods most commonly associated with foodborne illnesses include raw foods such as meat, poultry, milk, shellfish, eggs, and raw fruits and vegetables (1).
Food poisoning is caused by eating foods that are contaminated with bacteria or other pathogens. The good news is that most of these infections are largely preventable, and there are simple steps that can be taken to minimize exposure to these pathogens.
Safe food preparation is a key to avoiding foodborne illness. According to the CDC (1), it's important to "Cook, Separate, Chill, and Clean" foods to prevent food poisoning:
• Cook meat, eggs, and poultry thoroughly. Use a food thermometer to make sure you meat is cooked properly and use this chart as a guide: http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/mintemp.html. Make sure your eggs are cooked until the yolk is firm.
• Separate foods so that they do not cross-contaminate one another. Keep produce separate from meat, poultry, seafood and eggs. Use separate cutting boards and plates and keep these foods separate in the refrigerator as well.
• Chill promptly fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, and meats. Bacteria can start to grow as quickly as after one hour unless foods are refrigerated. A cooler in the car with ice may be a temporary fix but the best thing to do is to get your food home, especially on a hot day, and into the refrigerator. It is also important to thaw or marinate foods in the refrigerator and never on the counter or in the sink.
• Clean your hands, your surfaces, your utensils, and your fruits and vegetables. Clean your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water, your utensils and small cutting boards with soap and hot water, and surfaces as well as larger cutting boards with a bleach/water mixture. Wash fruits and vegetables before peeling to prevent bacteria from creeping inside and causing contamination.
Those who are most at risk from foodborne illnesses include pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Additionally, bottle-fed infants should be provided with clean and disinfected bottles with each feeding.
Symptoms of food poisoning include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. You should see your doctor if these symptoms progress to any of the following (1):
• Diarrhea, particularly if you notice blood, that lasts longer than 3 days
• Persistent abdominal cramping or pain
• Nausea and vomiting that is prolonged and such that you cannot keep liquids down
• Fever (greater than 100.4 ºF, measured orally)
• Decreased urination
Symptoms can range depending on the cause of the food poisoning. The goal of treatment is to replace fluids and, if warranted, provide antibiotic therapy. Not all foodborne illnesses require antibiotic therapy, as many diarrheal illnesses are viral in nature and will not be affected by antibiotic therapy. In some cases antibiotics may be more harmful than helpful.
"Don't eat the Alfredo, sweetheart," my mother warned me sternly at an outdoor wedding we attended shortly after this episode, "you don't want to go through all that again!" I nodded in agreement, realizing that food safety and handling is of paramount importance and that with appropriate measures, illness can effectively be prevented.

At the 5.891 kilometres long Formula 1 track, the Italian beat Felix Rosenqvist (kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport) in a thrilling battle. The Swede came home second, Alex Lynn (Prema Powerteam) crossed the finish line in third place. With his third victory of the season, Marciello extended his lead in the drivers' standings to 36.5 points, Rosenqvist is second.
At the start, Felix Rosenqvist stormed into the lead, followed by Alex Lynn and Raffaele Marciello. Some drivers slid off the damp track, which was the reason for the safety car to be deployed for a while. Racing resumed at the start of lap five and on the first kilometres already, Marciello overtook his team-mate Lynn. A few laps later, the Italian had also closed the gap to race leader Rosenqvist and started a close battle with the Mücke driver over several laps. After a few unsuccessful attempts, the protégé of the Ferrari Driver Academy finally managed to overtake the Swede on lap 15.
There was plenty of action behind the two front runners. British driver William Buller (ThreeBond with T-Sport) had to defend his position almost for the entire duration of the race: in the opening stages against Lucas Wolf (URD Rennsport), who did particularly well in the early phase of the race, and then for a long time against his compatriot Jordan King (Carlin). Buller, one of only two drivers in the field to use the ThreeBond Nissan engine, eventually took the chequered flag in fifth place behind Félix Serrallés (Fortec Motorsports). Wolf, on the other hand, dropped back further and further down the order with his rain tyres as the track dried out in the second half of the race and finished 17th.
Classified sixth after 16 laps, Formula 3 novice Jordan King was the third-best Brit behind Alex Lynn and William Buller. Behind him, Lucas Auer (Prema Powerteam) overtook the fourth-best Brit Jann Mardenborough (Carlin) on the final lap to finish seventh. Harry Tincknell (Carlin) and Nicholas Latifi (Carlin) rounded out the top ten.
Raffaele Marciello (Prema Powerteam)
"I was third at the start, but I was able to overtake Alex soon after the safety car phase to move up into second place. Then, I tried to close up to Felix, which I did. The battle for victory with him was tough and overtaking him wasn't easy. Only when he made a mistake, I was able to get past."
Felix Rosenqvist (kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport)
"Raffaele put me under massive pressure and I tried to do everything to bring first place home. I had the impression that I was faster at a damp track, but the more it dried out, the better Raffaele got. With two laps remaining, I made a slight mistake and I lost the lead."
Alex Lynn (Prema Powerteam)
"To be honest, I am disappointed, because when starting from pole, you want more than third place. Raffaele, Felix and I were clearly faster than the rest of the field, but unfortulately, I was slightly slower than Raffaele and Felix."

Core Group of Physicians
Getting to the Core of Access to Health Care with a Core Group of Physicians
General Practice physicians are a very important part of the care team at the Veterans Memorial Lodge. In recent years, however, fewer physicians have been available to provide medical care to residents admitted to Victoria residential care facilities.
To ensure that all residents have access to quality medical care, we work with a group of 10 to 12 physicians who have been willing to increase the number of patients they care for at the Lodge. We call this group our Core Group of Physicians. Collectively they now provide medical care to more than 80% of the residents at the Lodge.

Coming to the Chilcotin mountains and living in the wilderness was and still is about finding myself, pushing my boundaries, chasing down my fears and looking it in the face. Since being here, I have been doing just that; finding out what I am made of. Walking around the ranch at night without a flash light, and just standing outside in the dark has been my recipe for conquering this fear of the dark.
Going to Spruce Lake and with a cabin in the middle of the mountains surrounded by trees, water and fresh air, I thought that this would be the best place to test my hard work. I would like to point out here that beside myself there is only one other person with me and the wash room is a three minute walk in pitch dark through the tree's.
On our third night at the cabin, around 2 am, nature called and I got up to answer. My guide was asleep beside me and I didn't want to wake her so I slowly crept out of my sleeping bag crawled over to the stairs all the while reassuring myself that I knew how many stairs there were. I pushed forward and slowly made my way down the stairs, one shaky foot at a time counting as I went. I made it to the bottom alive.
It is actually quite amazing how many scary movies you can remember in a two second time frame, because that's how long it took for me to realize that. If pitch dark was afraid of something it would be this kind of dark. My legs started to shake, my heart racing, my palms sweaty, my feet felt like cement; I was trapped. Perseverance and determination won out and I found a moment of inner strength and managed to move forward. Three steps in, a hanging string touched my forehead- I snapped. I lost my mind. I was so scared I couldn't even scream. I squeaked, I dropped to the floor and pushed myself against the wall. I thought this was the moment I was going to die.
I let go of the wall. With my chin up, I pressed forward. I made it to out of the cabin and answered natures call. In the end I am still afraid of the dark, but I have also proved to myself that in the face of absolute death I had a small, but precious reserve of inner strength. I can face my fears and ultimately become stronger as I push through.

First frost night before yesterday. A beautiful walk around the cemetery, in one of Hönös' nature reserves. Suddenly we heard this loud peeping and fluttering and saw hundreds and hundreds of birds! Like my daughter said it made it a memorable day. Made me remember googling Murmuration on Youtube, a warning, it will give you serious goosebumps.
Monthly Archives: September 2013
Swimming yesterday morning I watched all the boats out lobster potting so coming home I rang my uncle, who was…yep out lobster potting. I nagged him to let me go along next time, even though I'm a girl, he said sure thing.
Early this morning my cousin picked me up. His friends had warned him about bringing women folk fishing, saying we wouldn't catch a thing. Lucky me my relatives don't believe in silly old superstition.
My uncle steered while my cousin hauled in the pots (hummertinor in Swedish and kuber in island dialect). Crabs, lots of starfish but no lobster. Apparently there is rope that sinks and rope that floats. Every islander know to use the sinking rope or it can float up and get caught in someone's propeller. While they are swearing about stupid towns people using floating rope, one gets caught in the propeller. Bad thing, they had to turn the propeller off and we started drifting, luckily it was calm sea. Cousin saved the day by cutting the rope and fished the boj up (the round thing that floats and shows you where you've dropped your lobster pot, maybe it's called the same in english?), in dialect it's weler. By law you have to write your name and phone number on the boj so it didn't take extensive detective skills to find out who's it was. Bet the guy wasn't too happy finding it hanging on his mailbox.
Then, lo and behold, a lobster! and one more! They both agreed on that maybe having women folk on the boat wasn't too bad, their luck had doubled since the day before.
On the way home my uncle took a route where they had seen lots of seals, I had told them earlier that I'd only seen two before, suddenly there were seals everywhere! Like little black bojs popping up and down the surface. Perfect finish to a fantastic trip! Actually a great thing to was watching the great teamwork between father and son and hearing the lingo. If I hadn't grown up hearing the island dialect from my gran and sometimes my mum I wouldn't have understood one word.
Even more perfect was the meal in the evening. Crab soup with veg from the garden, crab meat and garlic gratinated lobster. It looked so good I completely forgot to take a picture and it tasted fabulous!
Today I harvested what was left of my flowers, the seeds. I've tried planting seeds from the garden before without much success until last year when I planted some in the middle of winter in little pots outside. I brought them inside early spring and they started growing with amazing speed. So this year I'm doing it large scale!
Phah! How long did that last?
I'm not good at doing nothing and my attention span with knitting is limited to approximately half an hour. The weather picked up so I took my daughter rollerblading down the harbour. Tomorrow is D-day, well the L-day more like it. Lobster potting premiere!
Don't know if other countries have the same set up? To protect the numbers of lobster they have in Sweden regulated the period where you are allowed to catch them. Probably half the population of Hönö goes out with their boats tomorrow morning. The lobsters have to be 8cm long or you have to chuck them back in, same with females with roe.
I suspect we'll get some more crabs to cook this week.
Keeping busy "doing nothing"
One from my grandmothers photo album. In her days it was frowned upon sitting down doing nothing. She always had something in her lap, knitting jumpers or crocheting bedspreads or curtains. The smile on her face when I came to see her with a pair of socks or blanket that I had knitted!
In keeping with traditions I am now knitting slippers. Not because I have to but I find it relaxing. Plus in this house a pair of slippers are always needed in winter.
I'm swimming in the rain, I'm swimming in the rain, what a glorious feeling… I thought after my morning bike ride and swim I couldn't get much wetter so I brought the power-washer out. 100 year old dirt, or maybe older, flooding off the walls in the barn.
So annoying the pump doesn't work properly! I've had to run back and forth all morning, turning it on and off. It used to have an automatic switch that turned it on and off when the pressure got high or low. It's on the top of my wish-list, after the shower leak, to fix.
Anyways the barn walls look great! A bit more digging and soon I can start with the concrete foundations…

Marten Jacobszoon Heemskerk van Veen
From Academic Kids
Marten Jacobszoon Heemskerk van Veen (1498 – October 1, 1574), was one of the leading Dutch portrait and religious painters of the 16th century.
He was born at Heemskerk in Holland, and apprenticed by his father, a small farmer, to Cornelis Willemsz and Jan Lucasz in Haarlem. Recalled after a time to the paternal homestead and put to the plough or the milking of cows, young Heemskerk took the first opportunity that offered to run away, and demonstrated his wish to leave home for ever by walking in a single day the 50 miles which separate his native hamlet from the town of Delft. There he studied under a local master whom he soon deserted for Jan van Scorel of Haarlem.
At Haarlem he formed what is known as his first manner, which is but a quaint and gauche imitation of the florid style brought from Italy by Mabuse and others, He then started on a wandering tour, during which he visited the whole of northern and central Italy, stopping at Rome, where he had letters for a cardinal. It is evidence of the facility with which he acquired the rapid execution of a scene-painter that he was selected to co-operate with Antonio da San Gallo, Battista Franco and Francesco Salviati to decorate the triumphal arches erected at Rome in April 1536 in honour of Charles V. Vasari, who saw the battle-pieces which Heemskerk then produced, says they were well composed and boldly executed.
On his return to the Netherlands he settled at Haarlem, where he soon (1540) became president of his gild, married twice, and secured a large and lucrative practice. In 1572 he left Haarlem for Amsterdam, to avoid the siege which the Spaniards laid to the place, and there he made a will which has been preserved, and shows that he had lived long enough and prosperously enough to makeafortune. At his death, he left money and land in trust to the orphanage of Haarlem, with interest to be paid yearly to any couple who should be willing to perform the marriage ceremony on the slab of his tomb in the cathedral of Haarlem. It was a superstition which still exists in Catholic Holland that a marriage so celebrated would secure the peace of the dead within the tomb.
The works of Heemskerk are still very numerous. "Adam and Eve", and "St Luke painting the Likeness of the Virgin and Child" in presence of a poet crowned with ivy leaves, and a parrot in a cagean altar-piece in the gallery of Haarlem, and the "Ecce Homo" in the museum of Ghent, are characteristic works of the period preceding Heemskerk's visit to Italy. An altar-piece executed for "St Laurence of Alkmaar" in 1538-1541, and composed of at least a dozen large panels, would, if preserved, have given us a clue to his style after his return from the south.
In its absence we have a Crucifixion executed for the Riches Claires at Ghent (now in the Ghent Museum) in 1543,and the altar-piece of the Drapers' Company at Haarlem, now in the gallery of the Hague, and finished in 1546. In these we observe that Heemskerk studied and repeated the forms which he had seen at Rome in the works of Michelangelo and Raphael, and in Lombardy in the frescoes of Mantegna and Giulio Romano. But he never forgot the while his Dutch origin or the models first presented to him by Schoreel and Mabuse.
As late as 1551 his memory still served him to produce a copy from Raphael's "Madonna di Loretto" (gallery of Haarlem). A "Judgment of Momus", dated 1561, in the Berlin Museum, proves him to have been well acquainted with anatomy, but incapable of selection and insensible of grace, bold of hand and prone to daring though tawdry contrasts of color, and fond of florid architecture. Two altar-pieces which he finished for churches at Delft in 1551 and 1559,one complete, the other a fragment, in the museum of Haarlem, a third of 1551 in the Brussels Museum, representing Golgotha, the "Crucifixion", the "Flight into Egypt", "Christ on the Mount", and scenes from the lives of St Bernard and St Benedict, are all fairly representative of his style.
Besides these we have the "Crucifixion" in the Hermitage of St Petersburg, and two "Triumphs of Silenus" in the gallery of Vienna, in which the same relation to Giulio Romano may be noted as we mark in the canvases of Rinaldo of Mantua. Other pieces of varying importance are in the galleries of Rotterdam, Munich, Cassel, Brunswick, Karlsruhe, Mainz and Copenhagen. In England the master is best known by his drawings. A comparatively feeble picture by him is the "Last Judgment" in the palace of Hampton Court.

We LOVED the Ginger Cantaloupe Smoothie. Here is the recipe:
image pinterest.
- 1 1/2 oz collard greens
- 1 zucchini
- 4 oz grapes
- 4 oz cantaloupe
- 1/2 inch ginger - peeled
- 1 tbsp hemp seed
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup ice
A great vegan source of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, hemp seeds are known as a "perfect protein" because they contain 20 amino acids; particularly the nine essential amino acids our bodies don't produce on their own. They're also full of fiber and calcium. Whole ginger root contains an abundance of gingerol, a natural chemical that contains ginger's abundant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Combine these two superfoods with polyphenols from grapes, fiber from cantaloupe, and vitamins A and C from collard greens, and you have the perfect low-calorie smoothie for your brain, immune system and complexion.
Also Green Blender tells you how to make the perfect smoothie....Who Knew???
We think the perfect smoothie contains five key components:

Sept. 15, 2003
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Santa Clara University men's soccer goalkeeper Steve Cronin was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week on Monday following a weekend in which he posted a pair of shutouts.
The junior from Fair Oaks, Calif., notched his third shutout of the season in the Broncos' 1-0 victory over Holy Cross in the first game of the USF/Diadora Classic on Friday night. He returned on Sunday and shutout No. 21 California as Santa Clara played to a 0-0, overtime tie with the Golden Bears in Berkeley.
For the weekend he faced nine shots and made three saves. Thus far in 2003 he has started five of the team's six matches, missing only the Creighton game due to a family obligation. In his five games this season Cronin has posted a 0.19 goals-against average, giving up only one goal in 470 minutes of play.
The Broncos are 4-0-1 in the games that Cronin has played, outscoring their opponents by a 7-1 margin in those contests.
For his career, Cronin has nine career shutouts, including the four this season, to go along with a 0.86 goals-against average for his career. His career GAA currently ranks fourth all-time in school history, placing him just ahead of Joe Cannon who is currently a goalkeeper for the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.
Cronin and the Broncos will play their first two home contests this season on Thursday and Saturday of this week as they host the annual Santa Clara adidas Classic. SCU will take on Cal State Monterey Bay on Thursday night and George Washington on Saturday evening. Both games are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
