text: PHI's research and consulting experiences with providers nationwide routinely show that the caregiving workforce isn't strong enough to meet demand — and it affects the entire system of caregiving. Families can't find home care workers, so relatives quit their jobs and deplete their savings to care for a loved one. Workers leave emotionally fulfilling caregiving jobs because they can't afford to live on $10 an hour or because they see few opportunities to advance in their careers in this occupation. Home care agencies, nursing homes, and managed care plans struggle to find workers willing to take these jobs, and they feel strapped by the paucity in state Medicaid funding.

In today's dynamic global environment, understanding how travelers acquire information is important for marketing management decisions and designing effective marketing communication campaigns and service delivery. Understanding the information search behavior of key current and prospective markets can help destination managers and marketers develop target-marketing communications more effectively, because information search represents the primary stage in which marketing can provide information and influence travelers' decisions. Application of basic market segmentation techniques, using travelers' information source utilization patterns as either a segmentation base or descriptor, enable focused positioning and media selection. Certainly, understanding external information source utilization can help marketers effectively tailor the promotional mix.

Montenegro aviation enters new era with arrival of Ryanair
Montenegro's small aviation market has been witness to some interesting developments since the Jun-2013 entry of Ryanair. The Ireland-based carrier is now the sole LCC operating in Montenegro with a single route however it has expressed interest in opening up the market further. Other European LCCs will be watching Ryanair's movements in the market.
The small Southeastern European nation of just under 14,000km2 has a population of only about 620,000. Montenegro's 2012 GDP was USD4.231 billion, which has significantly increased since 2000 when it was USD1.707 billion, according to World Bank data. Air traffic to/from the country has increased from just under 700,000 passengers in 2005 to 1.345 million passengers in 2012.
Montenegro Airlines is the national carrier and sole scheduled operator. It currently provides around 41% of total seat capacity to/from Montenegro, according to CAPA and Innovata data. Fourteen foreign full-service carriers currently serve the country, accounting for around 58% of capacity while Ryanair, the only LCC in the market, currently contributes around 1% of seat capacity.
Flag carriers of the former Yugoslavia urged to unite
National carriers in countries of the former Yugoslavia are struggling to survive in the current economic environment as operating costs rise and they face competition from large network carriers and expanding low-cost carriers. The former Yugoslavian nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia all have national airlines but are struggling to become profitable, while the national carriers of Kosovo and Macedonia have already failed and have not been revived.
Association of European Airlines (AEA) secretary general Ulrich Schulte Strathaus recently told Slovenian newspaper Dnevnik that national carriers in the former Yugoslavia need to unite into a single carrier in order to survive. Mr Strathaus stated, "the once single Yugoslav market is now fragmented and a regional solution is necessary. The region needs an airline that would cover local needs and connect with global hubs."
The main airlines in the region are Bosnia and Herzegovina's B&H Airlines, Croatia's Croatia Airlines, Montenegro's Montenegro Airlines, Serbia's Jat Airways and Slovenia's Adria Airways.
Turkish delights – again. An airline with a mission
Turkish Airlines is one of the oldest airlines in Europe, but it is behaving these days like a young colt. With profit burgeoning to a net of USD548 million for the first three quarters of the year, up nearly threefold on last year, net operating profit also increased by 29% to USD401 million.

Miami (AFP) - Before woolly mammoths went extinct thousands of years ago, their dwindling population suffered a series of genetic mutations that hampered their ability to survive, researchers said Thursday.
Woolly mammoths were once among the most common herbivores in North America and Siberia, but came under threat from increased hunting pressure and a warming climate. They disappeared from the Earth 3,700 years ago.
Experts analyzed the genome of one of the last known woolly mammoths ever found -- a 4,300-year-old specimen from Wrangel Island, off the northern coast of Siberia.
On the island, about 300 of the lumbering creatures were believed to exist even after mammoths went extinct on the mainland some 10,000 years ago.
They compared the genes from this recent specimen to one that was far older -- from some 45,000 years ago -- and came from a population that was much more numerous and robust.
"Here we got a rare chance to look at snapshots of genomes 'before' and 'after' a population decline in a single species," said co-author Rebekah Rogers of the University of California, Berkeley.
"The results we found were consistent with this theory that had been discussed for decades."
Namely, researchers found far more harmful mutations in the island mammoth than in the mainland one, where breeding partners were plentiful and diverse, and the population was far healthier.
Some of the genetic flaws researchers found could have caused the animals to suffer stomach upset and gastrointestinal woes.
Others likely led to a more satiny, glossy coat than the animal's typical stiff-haired exterior -- a change that could have made them more vulnerable to cold temperatures.
"The animals had lost many olfactory receptors, which detect odors, as well as urinary proteins, which can impact social status and mate choice," said the study in PLOS Genetics, describing the process as a "genomic meltdown in response to low effective population sizes."
To rule out the possibility that the 4,300 year-old specimen was not just an anomaly, co-author Monty Slatkin employed mathematical models to show how genomes will look different when population conditions change.
"With only two specimens to look at, these mathematical models were important to show that the differences between the two mammoths are too extreme to be explained by other factors," said Rogers.
The findings are "a warning for continued efforts to protect current endangered species with small population sizes," said the study.
Cheetah, mountain gorillas and pandas are among the species under threat from small population sizes, which can make it difficult to impossible for a species to overcome mutations that risk their survival.
"Thus we might expect genomes affected by genomic meltdown to show lasting repercussions that will impede population recovery," said the study.

Visited Mount Irvine Golf Club last week because the Plantations golf course had a competition on, well what a difference, uncut fairways, very poor greens staff sadly lacking in customer care, and the price was horrendous.
I realise that this golf course has not been maintained for several years, but there is no justification in charging outrageous green fees when...
The web site for this course is misleading. Given that this was voted the number 1 Caribbean course in 1994 it has hit rock bottom. I am sure that the professional must be embarrassed to have his name associated with it.
Positives. The views are great on some of the holes 17th and 18th. The course design is very good......
Quite disappointing as the course was ill prepared, possibly due to time of year! Managed to get round the course, and could never be disappointed with the stunning views throughout!
This was one of the best golf courses in the Caribbean but it continues it's never ending downward spiral to the extent that in January 2015 it was largely unplayable.
It has now come to the stage that it needs such a vast amount of money spent on it I have to wonder whether we will soon see it used...
This is one of the best beaches there are in tobago... thumbs up.. nice cool waters.. small coral reef an lots of fishes..
Great beach for family vacays
The only resemblance to a golf course is that fact that there are blocks to tee off from and flags in holes. The course and facilities are in dreadful condition and need an absolute fortune spending on them. We paid to play 18 holes and walked off after 6 as it was so very bad. The staff, however, were lovely...
My Irvine golf course is a well designed course in a beautiful location. Unfortunately it seems in a downward economic spiral. I bought 7 rounds for TT$1650, buggy TT250 extra. This was a special deal because it had been so wet. The fairways had grass tufts 2ft tall....their mowers could not deal with it. The bunkers were mostly weeds. In...

Program Highlights
This earth science program has students investigate the physical properties that make minerals unique, as well as the massive scale of change that occurs on Earth. Based on specific curriculum outcomes, this program gives students a hands-on activity, along with high-tech imagery, to encourage them look at geology from both a local and global perspective.
Students will learn to differentiate between rocks and minerals, participate in hands-on mineral testing and have the opportunity to be introduced to Science on a Sphere. Science on a Sphere gives a perspective of the Earth as it might be seen from 45,000 km away! Live and archived scientific data display earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and more. This technology is an awe-inspiring global projection system and the first of its kind in Canada.
Curriculum Outcome Links
Specific Curriculum Outcomes
- Students will relate characteristics of rocks and minerals to their uses (300-8)
- Describe rocks and minerals according to physical properties such as colour, texture, lustre, hardness, crystal shape (300-6)
- Describe natural phenomena that cause rapid and significant changes to the landscape (301-7)
Science Skills
- Investigate rocks and minerals and record questions and observations (204-1, 205-7)
Program Length
80 min
Program Capacity
- 2 classes (60 students maximum)
- 1 chaperone for every 5 students
The charge for this program is $3.55 per student which includes the tax. The teachers are admitted free of charge. One chaperone is admitted free for every five students (1:5 ratio).
10 minutes: Introduction
The program begins with a group introductory discussion and activity reviewing the difference between rocks and minerals. Facilitated through a consideration of the ingredients used in baking, the students will connect how rocks are made up of several mineral constituents. The class will be divided into two groups and take part in both of the following activities.
30 minutes: Changing Landscapes
Half of the group will be introduced to the Earth's surface and major natural phenomena that affect its landscapes using the cutting-edge technology of "Science on a Sphere". During the presentation, students will be encouraged to think critically about how landscapes can change and share their ideas and experiences. The show will focus on both local events, like snow, ice and hurricanes, as well as global events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes.
30 minutes: Mineral Testing
In small groups, students will rotate through a series of mineral testing experiments, using Nova Scotian geological specimens. Through hands-on investigation and observation, students will record the properties of several minerals, which are commonly used for identification by geologists.
10 minutes: Conclusion
In their respective groups, students will discuss and summarize the material covered over the course of their activities.
This program will be offered on Tuesdays in March, April and May 2017.

"My father proposed to my mother at gunpoint when she was nineteen, and knowing that she was already pregnant with a dead man's child, she accepted."
Thus begins this riveting story of a woman's quest to understand her recently deceased mother, a glamorous, cruel narcissist who left her only child, Elsie, an inheritance of debts and mysteries. While coping with threats that she suspects are coming from the cult-like spiritual program her mother belonged to, Elsie works to unravel the message her dying mother left for her, a quest that ultimately takes her to the South African family homestead she never knew existed.
Gina Sorell is a writer who was born in South Africa and now lives in Toronto with her husband and son. After two decades as a working actor in Los Angeles and Toronto, Gina returned to her first love, writing, and graduated with distinction from the UCLA Extension Writers' Program. When she isn't writing fiction, she's the creative director of Eat My Words, a San Francisco–based branding firm. Mothers and Other Strangers is her first novel.
Early Praise for Mothers and Other Strangers
"Mesmerizing and quietly revealing, Sorell's memorable novel expertly weaves Elsie's search for answers about her origins with her own journey of healing."
— Publishers Weekly
"Whom do we really belong to and why? This dark, gorgeous jewel of a novel probes the secrets we keep and the complex ties of family, love, and loss. Shattering and brilliant, this marks the debut of an astonishing talent."
— Caroline Leavitt, New York Times–bestselling author of Cruel Beautiful World and Pictures of You
"A fascinating look at a unique and fractured parent-child relationship…engaging and tense."
Kirkus Reviews
"Mothers and Other Strangers is a memorable first novel, a delightfully twisty gothic with the strange and eerie urgency of a fable or a dream."
— Dan Chaon, author of Ill Will and You Remind Me of Me
"A stunning debut, Mothers and Other Strangers grips from page one. It's a perfect weave of suspense and of insight about how people love and hurt one another, and sometimes heal, and sometimes cannot. I highly recommend this novel and look forward—impatiently—to Gina Sorell's future work."
— Robin Black, author of Life Drawing
"This book grabs you at the opening lines and won't let you go. Elsie dreams of fire and doesn't fully understand how deep her mother's ties to a group called the Seekers was until her mother's death. The discovery of a bundle of photos and a priceless ring take Elsie from her home in Canada to Africa on a journey that leads her to the past she never knew she had. A stunning, rich, and heartfelt debut of suspense."
— Shannon Rose, Literati Bookstore, Ann Arbor, MD
"This compelling debut reveals the astronomical cost of harboring family secrets. Somehow Gina Sorell has managed to craft both a meditation on the messiness of mother-daughter bonds and a mystery that will keep you turning pages until the wee hours of the morning."
— Michelle Brafman, author of Bertrand Court and Washing the Dead
"A young woman's investigation of her mother's mysterious past uncovers disturbing revelations about love, family and the fragile bonds that both connect us and tear us apart. An absorbing, sensitive novel that confirms the troubling reality that it's often the people closest to us who do the most harm."
— Elizabeth Brundage, author of All Things Cease to Appear
"From the first shocking sentence of Gina Sorell's Mothers & Other Strangers I was hooked on the twisting ride of a woman who receives an inheritance of secrets, debt, and the mess left behind. With stunning prose and the danger of a thriller, Sorell reaches deep into a broken heart and finds what's still beating. I am a fan!"
— Susan Henderson, author of Up from the Blue
"Gina Sorell has written a complex mystery of the human heart in her poignant debut novel, Mothers and Other Strangers, exploring how the emotional riddle of our parents shapes our lives well into adulthood. To paraphrase Philip Larkin, they screw you up, your mom and dad…. This book is a must read for anyone who has struggled to understand their own parents."
— Robert Eversz, author of Shooting Elvis

RTS Player VS FPS Player?
This is one of the biggest questions that many video game players faces. Now depending on you like to strategize or rather just rush and kill everyone you will always choose a side for a game type. I personally will give you my suggestions since I can play both game types however I'm more into RTS (Real Time Strategy) than FPS (First Person Shooter) for sure both have their cons and pros when it comes to gaming. What it comes down to is what you think is better on the gaming skills.
RTS: For me I think RTS games are more enjoyable as far as longevity for playing. What I mean by that is 4 points to the game example leveling up, upgrades, marco skills, and storyline.
- Storyline: What attracts us to play over and over till we know the in and out of each map and area. We appreciate the design and artwork of the game so we want to come back and play. Best example is Starcraft Series. The character development with the amazing videos truly is epic to watch and make you feel like you the character itself. It allows you to take your time while learning the game when you play campaign, or you can test your skills against other online players.
- Marco-Skills: This teaches you how to be super fast without doing any tricks like key binds in other games. You actually have to be super quick and remember what hot keys are used to build certain units. Again that is any RTS game like SC2, Warcraft Series, Age of Empires Series, and Company of Heroes. Its like chess you need to be 1 step ahead of your opponent in order to win the game, also you need to learn how to counter as well. Thus you need to be fast on your marco skills. Go and watch videos on Youtube you'll see what I mean.
- Upgrades: Super cool for any game that has it for their units or characters. Makes it real fun when you can add more to it than just simply picking a gun to shoot someone or throwing grenades. With upgrades it makes the game even harder since the computer or your opponents have the same features as you.
- Leveling Up: Very unique in a sense where you have the ability to level up your character, now some RTS games won't have this feature but most do on special characters like heroes. So again makes it very fun and hard at the same time. Great for character growth and development when playing games like that.
FPS: Now I enjoy playing FPS games since its fast paced and it does teach you to have great reflex/timing skills. Which RTS doesnt really teach you since its more about thinking and planning your attacks. Key points for playing FPS are timing, storyline, replay kill cam, and playing with friends which is the multiplayer feature.
- Timing On Reflex: Super good to teach you especially if you lack in this area. I would for sure learn to play FPS so you can learn this skill trait, I know I have and I'm glad I still play FPS games.
- Replay Kill Cam: This can be cool or bad depending on how you look at it. Now if you get killed its going to show you how your opponent killed you and vice versa when you kill someone it will show them how it happened. Sometimes its cool and other times it sucks when you get owned in the game.
- Storyline: It can really depend on the game, if the story is really good or super crappy. FPS games over the years has gotten a lot better and so its a matter of the person playing the game. Desus Ex is actually a really good game that is FPS style. Great development of character growth and gameplay, they are making a 2nd one to it as well.
- Multiplayer Feature: Most FPS allows the online play so you can join with your friends versus playing by yourself. RTS does have multiplayer but its not the same feel like playing FPS style. Again each to their own depending on who you talk to.
So I have given you my 2 cents on this, its now up to you to decide what you are more in favor of when playing your games. Comment below let me know your thoughts.

Parents & the Promotion of Math Readiness for Preschoolers
MATH is a natural part of life—it's everywhere! The goal of learning math concepts for preschoolers is … –To develop in the child a basic understanding of patterns in his or her environment –To give them the tools to learn the more complex math concepts presented in school. –To make math FUN!
What might children entering Kindergarten need to know? They might, for example, need to… Be able to count items to 10 Recite numbers to 20 Identify basic shapes Understand concepts such as 'more', 'less', 'yesterday', 'tomorrow', etc. Understand the purpose of numey & identify some common coins
What is Math??? There are two types of Math… Thinking Math & Content Math
THINKING MATH Problem solving is the key to doing all other types of math. It involves the ability to explore, think through issues, and reason logically to solve routine as well as unusual problems. Communication means finding ways to express ideas & solutions. Reasoning is used to think through problems and come up with answers. Connections allow children to see patterns and relationships, and lets them apply rules to many situations.
What can parents do? Invite your children to be curious and figure out solutions to everyday problems. Talk about the problem, asking for ideas, and then talk about how they thought of their answers. Encourage your children to suggest problems and ask questions. Talk to your children and listen to what they have to say. Read books that rhyme, repeat, or have numbers in them Make pictures or models to represent numbers or problems.
Ask questions and give them time to think about answers. Ask your children to figure out why something is the way it is, then hear their ideas. Have your children think about & solve problems in everyday living—like sorting groceries and fitting them in the cupboard or choosing a blanket that fits their bed. Look for math in life & use it—let children help measure things, arrange things in order of size, color, etc. or count things used for a particular purpose
CONTENT MATH Patterns & Relationships Number sense & numeration Geometry & spatial sense Measurement Fractions Estimation Statistics & probability
What can parents do? Look for patterns in pictures, designs, events, etc. to show them String things (pasta, beads, etc.) into patterns Count real things Sort objects by size, color, shape, etc. Talk about what numbers are used for (keeping scores, addresses, etc.)
Help them identify shapes Have them manipulate things with different shapes & talk about them Describe where they are (under, on, beside objects, etc.) Have older children find 'hidden' shapes in the house. Let children 'measure things, using made- up measurements, like "how many blocks high is your bed?" Talk to them any time you are measuring things in daily life, telling them what you are doing.
Play 'time games' and talk about time (that's after lunch, or that's in 5 more minutes). Help children understand fractions by dividing food, chores, treats, etc. into equal portions. Have children guess 'how long', 'how many', 'how much…', and compare to the final answer. Have children tell you who is 'tallest', 'shortest', what object is 'biggest', 'longest', etc. Use charts to help children track how many of an object has been used. Use chips or stickers to represent objects and record how often something has happened or been used.
The best way to teach math is not to teach it at all— just experience it! Think about folding math concepts into your daily activities and conversations and your children will learn naturally, without fuss or stress. They'll see math not as a chore, but as a fun part of everyday life!

The cull is bad news for society's more vulnerable members.
Bodies scrapped include the Teenage Pregnancy Independent Advisory Group, the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission, the Disability Employment Advisory Committee and the Disability Living Allowance/Attendance Allowance Advisory Board, as well as the National Housing and Planning Advice Unit and National Tenant Voice; and the Commission for the Compact, set up to promote partnerships between the public sector and charities and voluntary groups which receive public funding.
Meanwhile, the future of several children's bodies still hang in the balance. Decisions over the future of the Children's Workforce Development Council, the Office of the Children's Commissioner and the National College for Leadership of Schools and Children's Services have been deferred. The future of the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service will be determined by the family justice review in 2011.

Patch file
This patch adds the partial support for the planner interface to the VFH driver. Obviously full support is not applicable as VFH is not a path planning algorithm. However it can navigate to a goal and knows when it arrives there, which the position2d interface has no way of reporting (whereas planner supports the path_done value).
Also this allows VFH to be used in place of another Planner for testing.
Patch is against Player SVN

okay i loved ur summary. i like how you started the story. i think you need to stretch this story more to make it better. you need to slowly drag it to dramatics. this story could reach 10 reviews if you begin from chapter 2, thats where your story went to fast. how can a homeless girl admit her truth right when she met this guy. and you skipped over the parts where she met the rest of the family and how she connected with them. i think you were to quick with this story. unless that is what you r planning. anyway i like the idea of this story. very cool

There are many complicated theories on what to do about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
He's that crazy little fat guy with nukes and daddy issues who wants to strap his thermonuclear devices to long-range missiles that just might start World War III.
Thermonuclear war tends to bother many people of many nations, and multilayered theories abound. My theory is not complicated. It's simple.
And it involves the Chicago way.
Nobody may want to talk about my theory. But if you hear of a Kim Jong Un dead pool, you might place a few bets.
Just please don't get the idea that I'm advocating harm to another human being, even if it's a madman who tortures people...

THE RECENT TPLF FUNDRAISING AND THE DIASPORA'S FOUL PLAY – Professor Seid Hassan- Murray State University
As the recent write-ups on many Ethiopian related web pages and the daily paltalk shows can attest, there is an uproar regarding the so-called "Millennium Telethon", which was released in a video by the TPLF-controlled Tigrai Development Association (TDA). The telethon gamesmanship was conducted on October 4, 2008, at the Addis Ababa Sheraton. We were told that the TPLF was able to "raise" over 146 billion birr just in one day using the same occasion. In the same video, the names and faces of business owners, individuals and CEOs of some government-owned sectors were spelled out showing how many millions of birr they had pledged to funnel to the region of Tigrai. Among those who participated included the billionaire Sheikh Al-Amoudi, who on the spot coughed up 10 million birr and promised to pay an additional one million dollar. Similarly, conglomerates which the TPLF controls, such as EFFORT, REST, the highly corrupted Ethiopian Telecommunication Corporation and a few others were spelled out as participants of the show. The TDA communiqué which were later released indicated that the "pledged" amount was enough to build at least 1300 schools, a few more roads and other infrastructures. Incredibly enough, the bizarre show was conducted at the Addis Sheraton Hotel, in Addis Ababa, a premise where one can witness thousands of beggars and starving people just a few blocks away, and a city engulfed, according to some reports, with over a million homeless people.
The show seems to have vexed, rightly so, many of the Diaspora community as well as the population inside the country. People who watched the video argue that, if the regime's tug of war with the NGOs and other humanitarian organization so that the true drought affected number of people who need assistance would not be known is not annoying and embarrassing enough, the brutal leaders came with this highly disgusting and vexing show in order to insult us and the entire Ethiopian community. They say that, and rightly so, one would expect the ruling party, if it indeed cares about the people of Ethiopia, to galvanize the rest of the populous as well as the people of the world so that we all could pitch-in to save the lives of the starving people. What is maddening, they complain, is how they did it, which basically could be summed up as: "in your face: we don't care about the millions of starving people for they are not members of our kinship." Indeed, one who has watched the entire video, as I have, cannot escape the thought that not only the EPRDF leaders have increasingly become mean-spirited, but they continue to show the world how inhumane they have become.
Due to the vicious nature of this show, many of the Ethiopian Diaspora community have come to think that such a discourse is inherent in those who come from the same region, Tigrai. Such utterances of unflattering words against our Tigrain compatriots indicate that some of the members of the Diaspora community have indeed succumbed to the ploy that the TPLF planted for them. One cannot even escape the thought that a minority group could have seized this opportunity to advance their own parochial interests. Some of these folks could be those who want to continue lecturing us that the struggle is between Tigrians and the non-Tigrians. Of course, such a thought is no different from what the Meles gang are doing and intend to do. Some of them may have jumped on the bandwagon of the blame game for they still want us to be with them and continue poking at old wounds. They should know better. Some of them may be using our anger to galvanize support for their parochial interests. They should know that we cannot move our struggle even by an inch forward continuing this way. They should know that they cannot use the same tactics and expected different outcomes! We should learn from our past mistakes and move away from using the same old tired tactics and design new ones if we want to succeed in removing this cancerous group from power.
To be honest, I prepared this write-up right after I watched the aforementioned video. I hesitated to release it knowing full well that I could be hit from all corners. I also asked and contemplated on the following questions: Why don't the Ethiopian intellectuals, opposition party leaders, our Tigrian compatriots who are not a part of Meles's clique, even civic leaders, and step up and give the proper guidance and leadership on this issue? By allowing such blame-games and name calling to continue, could some of them be using the anger for their own parochial interests, such as galvanizing more support for their organizations?" Some of the intellectual community members could have written on this, but I have not seen any so far. Some of it could be in the works, too, for a deeper analysis takes time. Since I cannot take it anymore, I decided to have the first crack at it and take the hit!
As I alluded above, I would like to state, at the outset, that the Ethiopian people have grounds to complain and be annoyed by the shameful theatre revealed in this video. Having said that, however, even though I understand why the regime seems to be making a mockery of the starving people of Ethiopia, I ask those who are so maddened by this ridiculous gamesmanship to think carefully and watch the words that are coming out of their mouths. First of all, rushing to blame all those who happen to be from the Tigrai region as if they all collaborate with the despicable acts and are inherently bad people leads us to commit the mistake known as the fallacy of composition. Second, as I argue below, this video was prepared on purpose by the TPLF leaders in order to preoccupy us so that we would continue playing the cards they themselves dealt us: ethnocentrism and the spread of hatred. Playing the ethnocentric cards that the TPLF deals every now and then, more so often made whenever it believes it is losing its power grip is downright dangerous. It is important to recognize that one cannot fight ethnocentrism using the ethnocentric tactics and be free from being an ethnocentric!
It is important to recognize that the concocted ideas that are put together in this sinister video have every mark on them to indicate to us that it is a well-thought out program prepared by the top party leaders with malice intent. Here are some of the sinister ideas that they calibrated on:
First of all, as we all know, the TPLF has been transferring funds and resources to specific regions in the last 18 years telling us that the transfers were necessary since the regions have been affected by war. Even though the same "war damaged regions" pretext has been in use for the full 18 years since the TPLF came to power, the pretexts put together in this video are similar to the previous ones in that the poison deceptively is covered with the honey. The honey is, of course, the 1300 schools and the other infrastructure projects which are going to be built using the transferred resources. The poison is the ethnocentric venom secreted so that the Ethiopian people could murder each other to satisfy the blood-thirsty thugs who have been in power for too long.
Second, the whole state of affairs is so vicious that one cannot escape the thought that the TPLF leaders prepared the video in order to deflect criticisms from those who are concerned about the corruption scourge that have become both systematic and endemic. Since the transfer of funds is made in the name of building schools and other infrastructure projects, it was intended to deny those of us who venture to criticize this criminal and inhumane act of the TPLF leaders. For example, by covering the poison with honey, they want to accuse those of us who oppose such a transfer of resources to a few regions as people who oppose infrastructure building and "economic development." It would not also be surprising, if they accuse us of being anti Tigrian, as they did it to a few of us in the past.
Third, those who concocted the idea have attempted to deceive the Ethiopian people, as they have done it in the past, that building schools and a few infrastructures in one or a few regions is in the interest of the country, which is not true. The fact of the matter is that, given the meager resources of the country, when a government spends unnecessarily too much in one area, there would be fewer funds available for the projects in the other sectors of the economy. At best, there will be an unbalanced growth. But most importantly, the EPRDF leaders are in it to pillage the country. Ethiopians, who observe almost on a daily basis that nearly all the contracts go to the members of TPLF and party owned businesses, know full well that infrastructure building in that country has been totally a sham.
Fourth, the TPLF leaders seem to have sensed that the rampant corruption that they are deeply involved in has disdained some of their followers. The tensions among the party members that became apparent during the recently held EPRDF party congress and the ongoing chatters in the streets of Addis Ababa and other major cities indicate that the corruption scourge could indeed become the bane for the EPRDFi. As a result, the TPLF leaders want to revitalize the party and shore up the declining membership using such divisive methods as shown in this video. That is why they have now employed even a very brutal (and illegal) tactic: not allowing any college graduate student to have a job unless he/she becomes a member of the EPRDF! Even though such a terrorizing tactic was being implemented after the regime lost the 2005 election, this brutal tactic is being employed at a heightened level after the party's congress of this year. While employing this tactic, they have been sending the messages that, if anyone wants to advance their careers, they have to be involved with the corruption scourge. In so doing, not only the EPRDF leaders have made the country to be unable to use the resources it has invested on, but they also have held the country as their hostage. There is no economy in the world, let alone a destitute country such as Ethiopia, that will grow which is ruled in such manner.
Fifth, and most importantly, the messages conveyed in the same video indicate that the TPLF leaders want to corner our Tigrian compatriots whom they thought were against and are developing a disdain to their despicable acts. As is customary of the ethnocentric leadership, they want to accuse them as allies of the Amhara naftagnas and ones who betrayed their kinship. Unable to garner unanimity even among its own group, the video is an attempt to placate those who oppose its dangerous and anti-Ethiopian positions.
Last, the regime prepared this reprehensible Telethon and video for political pandering. Ethnocentric people are known to stoop low and exploit the weaknesses of the populous just to stay in power and advance their ethnocentric agendas. By catering to people's lowest tastes, they always try to send a message that there is no alternative other than dividing the country along ethnic lines. We have observed such a pandering when Mr. Meles Zenawi uttered the word "Interahamwe" (related to the militia responsible for the 1994 Rwandan Genocide) during the 2005 election, in which case many Ethiopians believe that the opposition won. No matter how many times they would play the ethnicity card, they would fail in part because most of our Tigrian compatriots have come to realize that they are not the ones who benefit from such malicious and spiteful acts.
It is also important to understand for those of us who don't belong to the Tigrai region that most of our Tigrian compatriots have also suffered from the oppression of the mafia type clique. One who looks at the Tigrai regions of Agamie, qilte-awlalo, Temben and the Dalol areas would recognize that the people of these regions are also suffering from drought and starvation. As the TPLF leaders used to say just before they took power, the droughts and starvation are partly man-made and they are byproducts of the agricultural and economic policies of the EPRDF. These shortages of basic food supplies and the skyrocketing prices accompanying them within the state of Tigrai clearly show that our Tigrian compatriots also suffer from the TPLF's bad policies.
The political suppression put on the people of Tigrai by TPLF is clear enough to see by looking at the Front's organizational tentacles that have been put in that region for many years. In fact, one could convincingly argue that the level of political oppression that has been practiced on our Tigrian compatriots is as severe, (if not more) as the one that is being practiced within the rest of the country. The TPLF's security apparatus is so deeply rooted and so penetrating in the state of Tigrai that the spying has reached even the individual household level. Previous writers have shown that the oppressive methods of the TPLF on the Tigrian people have created the same situations as in the rest of the country, such as the constant state of fear of being spied upon, kicked out of a job, and thrown to jail and even being killed.
Since the split of the TPLF right after the Ethiop-Eritrean war, the Meles group has been terrorizing those who did not go along with his ethnocentric agendas and his desire to destroy Ethiopia. Meles did not care whether they came from Tigrai. He put the leaders of other group in jail for many years using tramped-up charges. He did this despite the fact that they were right and he was wrong. He punished them despite the fact that they spoke on behalf of the majority of the Tigrian people. In fact, it has been and still is increasingly difficult for those who objected Meles's rule, especially after the split of the TPLF into two camps, to find jobs since that split. At the same time, all those available jobs in the region are favorably secured to those who supported Meles, the group whom Meles and Co. call them as members of the tehadiso. This illegal activity, of course, is the same one that is now being practiced in the other regions of the country. Not only is the EPRDF giving jobs only to those who join the party, but it is also punishing those Ethiopians who voted for the opposition parties during the 2005 election.
As the people of Tigrai who live near the borders of the Sudan can attest, nearly all of the trade and contraband businesses are now being dominated by the EPRDF troops who are stationed at the borders (the so-called teref tebaqiwoch). The anecdotal human reports coming out the border areas indicate that the deep involvement of the patrol paramilitary members in the retail trade and contraband activities has put most of those civilian (of Tigrai origin) businessmen out of business. As well all know, this is exactly what is happening inside the rest of the country, too. Individual reports which are being sent to this writer, both from those who reside inside and outside of the country indicate that many merchants have become extremely disenchanted with and angry at the EPRDF favoritism practices. For example, in addition to being forced to pay higher taxes, many merchants have been unable to buy goods and services from the EPRDF controlled conglomerates which control the import/export sector of the economy. They are becoming increasingly frustrated that the EPRDF-controlled wholesale conglomerates could only sale the imported goods to the merchants who either have the proper connections with or are members of the EPRDF. In fact, this disenchantment and anger is so deep that, the favoritism tactics of the TPLF has even angered some of its allies, such as those business people who come from fringe minority groups. While the shops owned by the EPRDF supporters are full of goodies, they complain, the shops owned by those who want to play by the rules are empty. And this discrimination is also affecting our Tigrian compatriots who are not members of the so-called Tehadiso.
Reports from the Tigrai region also indicate that the income discrepancy between the superrich and the dirt-poor is so stark that this income discrepancy is creating a social and political havoc in some cities such as the regional city of Mekele, where the TPLF's headquarter is located. Many people attribute the increasing murder rate in the city of Mekele to this discrepancy and destituteness of people within the same region. Anecdotal reports indicate that the increasing mafia type gangster activities, the same ones that have become ubiquitous in the rest of the country, are also being observed inside Tigrai. The over six hundred thousand Tigrians who are facing food shortages and the increasing number of them who are currently seeking new shelters not only indicate that most of our Tigrian compatriots do not benefit from the corruption scourge, but they are actually negatively affected by the policies of this dictatorial regime. This increasing migration of people from the Tigrai regions, EPRDF's own backyards, speaks volumes about the EPRDF's agricultural policies. If all the people of Tigrai were benefiting from Meles and Co. being in power, why would anyone see a number of our Tigrian compatriots roaming the cities of Addis Ababa, Dessie, Combolcha, and other cities begging for food?
It is, therefore, foolhardy to think that all Tigrians are part of the mafia and pillage the country just because a select group of Tigrians happen to do so. It is totally absurd to think that all Tigrians benefit at the expense of the rest of the population just because we happen to see a minority portion of that kinship to have gotten to be super-rich almost overnight. Such a thought magnifies the seeds of hatred which were, and still are, being sowed by the ethnocentric gangs. This thought of lumping together all Tigrians and calling them names must stop! It is both tactically and strategically wrong to fight hatred with hatred and ethnocentrism with ethnocentrism. Let's not succumb to the ethnocentric disease that the regime is trying to spread to us. Let's not play the cards they dealt us. Instead, it is time for all Ethiopians, our Tigrian compatriots included, to come together, ASAP, and get rid of this cancerous regime!
The venom spat off in this video indicate that their immediate objective is to instigate hatred against our Tigrai compatriots. And, once they caught us making mistakes, when they catch us uttering "all Tigrians are the same blah, blah.." they want jump on those words use them to garner support lost. They want mislead some of their gullible followers telling them: "You see, these Amhara naftagnas, these terrorists, these Oromos, these sellout Tigrians, these…, are coming after you! And thus, all those who belong to the Tigrian nation should and must unite and fight them!…." Their ultimate goal: massacre each other! They, of course, will use the feud they concocted as their fodder, the also divert our attention from observing of what is going on in the country: the pillaging of our country by top EPRDF officials. We should leave no stones unturned to expose both their intentions and misdeeds! Let's not succumb to this mafia's intensions of preoccupying us with its ethnocentric agendas.
A closer look of the video indicates that those who are behind the gamesmanship are the grubby party officials, the kleptomaniac politicians, and the cunning and philistine businessmen who have long been a part of the corruption process. They are the same sycophants and foot-soldiers of the ruling clique who have made the corruption scourge their gold mine. They are the same sell-outs who were the foot soldiers of both Meles Zenawi and Issayas Afewerqi who advocated for the session of Eritrea. The Announcer himself, Ato Iyasu Berhe is a known Banda who roamed the capitals of the Western counties carrying the Eritrean flag and who advocated for its secession. These are the same wicked people who camouflaged themselves as the true Tigrians while in fact leading the people they purport to serve to a full-fledged ethnic war. No Tigrian, other than the instigators would benefit from an all intensified ethnic war. They are the same ones who have worked against the interest of Tigrians and their country Ethiopia who openly exploited the Derg's misdeeds against the people of Tigrai in their favor. They are the one who speak on both sides of their mouths- telling our Tigrian compatriots that they serve their interests while in fact they work, day and night, to dismember their country. They are the same people who are participating in capital flights, the capital flight coming out of Ethiopia reported to be exceeding that of Nigeria. The fact of the matter is that the $14 million or so raised on that occasion is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of that is being sent overseas by the same corrupt TPLF officials. From now on, we (our Tigrian compatriots included) reject their blood-thirsty tactics and tell them: "No: you cannot dismember and commit treason against my country, amass enormous wealth for yourselves using your mafia type corrupt practices, send the pillaged resources overseas, be so ruthlessly uncaring about starving people and at the same time be a true Tigrian/Ethiopian!"
I, therefore, also ask all Ethiopians, our Tigrian compatriots included, to stop putting all of those who happen to come from one ethnic group in one basket and attack them just because a few of their members committed crimes and mistakes. In fact, the time has come for all of us to come together and fight the evil doers. We cannot continue deploying the same failed tactics and expect different outcomes. We should recognize the fact that, especially now, more than ever, the stupidest thing to do is committing the same mistakes- playing the ethnocentric card and deploying the same some old tactics and expecting different results. In fact, I deeply believe that the time has come for us be bold and begin using new tactics, one of them being the setting aside of our minor differences and creating a new solidarity. That is why I am a big supporter and proponent of Obang Metho's vision of the New Solidarity for Ethiopia.
It is about time for EACH OF US to begin demanding from opposition party/civic leaders so that they would begin delivering the goodies- one of the goodies being creating a strong coalition. It is about time for YOU AND I to stop playing the politics of division which have blindfolded us to see the big picture for too long. Let me now resort to the use of some powerful Amharic words that I heard some of you using: let's go beyond ye -menaqor, kurfia, metteratter, elih, tenkol- polika! This must be one of the new paradigms of doing politics from now on.

1] The abrupt decision to maintain the "status quo" is also a manifestation of the same tensions existing within the party members. The street chatters indicate that some of the EPRDF members did not like the rampant corruption and hence wanted to make some cosmetic changes. The adoption of the "status quo ante" that was announced by Mr. Meles indicates that those who are deeply involved in the corruption scourge had the upper hand.

Sprouting Safety – Preventing e.coli and Salmonella in your Bean & Seed Sprouts
The University of California's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources research on bacteria and sprouts shows that any contamination in the sprout is likely to come from the seed itself:
'For most outbreaks, the source of contamination appears to have been the seed. Even if the seed is contaminated, pathogen levels are typically very low, so contamination can easily be missed depending on the nature of the seed-testing program. The best conditions for sprouting are also ideal for multiplication of pathogenic bacteria if they happen to be present on the seed. Even if the seed are only lightly contaminated, Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 levels can increase to millions of cells per serving during the sprouting process.'My advice: Buy organic seeds and beans and make your own sprouts at home, using 100% cotton sprout bags. The bags reduce the risk of molds and bacteria because there is no standing water as there can be in jars and trays. When you buy organic seeds, you know you are getting the best, and don't you deserve the very best quality of foods? Yes!
The benefits of eating sprouts is that they are a live food full of enzyme power and are a great source of protein for the body.Don't be afraid to eat sprouts as a result of the e.coli outbreak in Germany; instead just be aware of a better choice which is to make your own sprouts at home.
You can sprout alfalfa, mung beans, lentils, garbanzo beans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and more . Bringing variety into your diet is a great way to increase your natural mineral reserve!
I personally prefer the cotton bags over nylon bags for spouting because the cotton is more natural and can keep the sprouts just moist enough to grow without any extra or standing water for bad bacterias. The air flow through the bags is also perfect for preventing mold.

Before the 2006 Formula One season, there was a Ferrari Enzo spotted running around the streets near the Ferrari factory. An Enzo with a NACA duct in the nose and a huge exhaust. So what was it? An F1 testbed or an FXX Prototype?
Just last week, we saw video of the LaFerrari running Ferrari's Fiorano Circuit, but the sound was far different, and that's because the noise wasn't V12 fury, it was a turbo whine. Next year, Formula One is switching to tiny V6 turbo engines, and while there is no confirmation that the LaFerrari was running a new F1 engine, it sure seems like the case.

Marks & Spencer is to send 2,000 head office managers back to the shop floor over Christmas in an effort to boost flagging sales and improve service levels.
Marks & Spencer is to send 2,000 head office managers back to the shop floor over Christmas in an effort to boost flagging sales and improve service levels.
The managers will include Luc Vandevelde, the group's dapper Belgian chairman. Mr Vandevelde will take his turn packing customers' bags and showing them the way to the underwear department. It is not yet clear if he will wear the regulation polyester M&S shop uniform or his St Michael suit.
"This will be Luc's first Christmas at Marks & Spencer and he will want to see how things work," an M&S spokeswoman said. M&S said it was not yet clear which store he will be working in. "He will probably work in a variety of stores to get a wider view of the operation," the spokeswoman said. "The stores are the heart of the business and people at head office need to get out there."
Other retailers, such as Tesco, regularly send senior executives to help out at the stores, but this is the first time it has been done at M&S.
The company has declined to comment on reports that it may drop the M&S name from a group of 50 underperforming stores that may be changed into a discount format.
M&S said it was looking at options for these stores "and this might require changing the format". However, the firm denied plans to announce the changes in the next few weeks.
Peter Salsbury, M&S chief executive, said the company would need to compete with the new wave of discounters such as Matalan and Peacocks, which have grabbed market share at the value end of the sector. He said the company's UK clothing market share had fallen by 1.5-2 per cent in the past year.
Responding to questions about a possible takeover, he added: "We have received no takeover approaches."Reuse content

In my last post, I shared the beginning of my picture book illustration journey with "Hagga's Last Vattiegirl": how I got the job, the thumbnails I sketched and the early character designs. Today, I'll cover the rest of my work process from rough sketches to the coloured final illustrations.

Picture Book Illustration – The Process of Illustrating "Hagga's Last Vattiegirl" Pt. 1
"Hagga's Last Vattiegirl" was my first picture book illustration project. It was also my most rewarding and my most challenging. Read on to see my work process from shaky beginning to glorious end.
