Large Accounts Manager at SC Romtelecom SA
I represent all Romtelecom's large customers in my county (Caras-Severin). My main responsibility is to manage my portfolio in order to grow revenue, bring new sales and also keeping customer satisfaction. My portfolio contains private and public companies. In all my time at Romtelecom I managed to bring new contracts, some of the in premier for my city both in technology and value. Because of my previous customer experience with the business customers I was easy for me to grow and maintain a good business and sometimes casual relation with my clients. My biggest achievement, and my goal from the beginning of this job, is for my customers to see me not as a sales man but to understand that me and my company are solutions providers that helps the grow, enrich and be more financial efficient by working with us. It is also a challenge for me implementing complex telecommunication solutions, not only voice, tv and internet, but managed integrated solutions, it manager, PBX equipments, data storage, cloud computing, etc. We partnered in this with the world's leading companies as Cisco, Apple, Policom, etc.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Anglo-Saxon name Sprecher come from its first bearer, who was a person who because of their physical abilities was referred to as sprack. This nickname surname was used to denote those individuals who were agile and quite lively. A broad and miscellaneous class of surnames, nickname surnames referred to a characteristic of the first person who used the name. They can describe the bearer's favored style of clothing, appearance, habits, or character.
Sprecher Early Origins
Suffolk where Reginald Sprag is listed in Suffolk in 1303. This is generally considered to be the first record of the family. A few years later, Richard Sprak was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Suffolk in 1327 and Alice Sprakes was listed in Somerset in 1359. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Sprecher Spelling Variations
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Sprecher has been spelled many different ways, including Spragg, Spragge, Sprague, Sprake, Sprigg, Spriggs and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Sprechers to arrive in North America:

Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Bosnich had been offered the chance to spend a year on loan at Parkhead, but has decided to defy Sir Alex Ferguson's support of Fabien Barthez and fight for his place at Old Trafford.
That has left Celtic manager Martin O'Neill having to search elsewhere for a challenger to Jonathon Gould, who has been less than impressive between the sticks for The Bhoys recently, and Stewart Kerr, who is on the transfer list.
It is reported that O'Neill will turn his attentions to 22-year-old Northern Ireland international Carroll and make a bid of around £2 million for the former Hull City star.
The highly-rated shot stopper has been linked with Celtic a number of times in recent months, but a move has so far failed to materialise, despite the Scottish Premier League season having already begun.

Corfe Castle Country Walking – Nature Pictures with Relaxing Music, Dorset, England, UK By IRV
Corfe Castle Country Walking – Nature Pictures with Relaxing Music, Dorset, England, UK
Enjoy some relaxing music with 30 scenic photographs taken on a relaxing country walking trip around Corfe Castle, Dorset, England, UK. This lovely country walking trip around Corfe Castle provides some lovely countryside views of Dorset. The route was mainly paths, tracks and quiet lanes with a couple of gradual ascents and descents and included part of the Hardy Way. Views included Corfe Castle towers above the little grey stone village of the same name. The route passed below West hill, along Purbeck Ridge over Knowle Hill then to the top of Ridgeway Hill. The Purbeck Ridge provided an enjoyable ridge-top walk with superb views of the coast and over Wareham Forest and the Dorset heathlands. After going through the hamlet of East Creech and the attractive Norden Wood,the route went over fields then through woodland below West Hill back to Corfe Castle.
This is a 5 minute ambient background video that uses 30 still images of natural scenery photographed during a country walking trip around "Corfe Castle, Dorset, England, UK" and is combined with relaxing music.
Video Components
The theme of the image relaxation video is focused on natural scenery encountered during a country walking trip around "Corfe Castle".
This ambient background video uses 30 natural scenes taken on a country walking trip around "Corfe Castle".
The audio of this ambient background video is simply relaxing music with a slow tempo which I feel has a calming effect on the listener.
This simple image relaxation video uses a series of 30 photographs containing a variety of images of natural things within each scenes. Nature images are thought to have a calming effect and are good for relaxation.
The image sizes used for this image relaxation video are all uniform and the images fill the screen completely. Each image is allocated a 10 seconds time span for display to the viewer which is a good length of time. When the transitions are taken into account each image is fully viewable for approximately 8 seconds. These factors aid the focusing of attention and relaxation.
At the start of the video there is an introductory scene with a title displaying the location of the walk scenery. There is also a narrow band on the bottom of the video for the company name and copyright notice. This has been designed to have a low visual impact so that there is very little distraction to the viewer.
There is a fade-in from black and a fade-out from black for the introductory scene. Between each of the 30 nature scenes there a slow cross fade transition. Also, at the start of the 30 nature scenes there is a slow fade-in from black transition and at the end there is a slow fade-out to black transition.
Special Techniques
There are no special techniques used in this ambient background video.
This ambient background video is focused on natural scenery encountered during a country walking trip around "Corfe Castle" with 30 photographs used. This variety of natural images provides interest to the viewer and is also good for providing a calming atmosphere. The audio is relaxing music which I find calming.
I think this is a good video for use as an ambient background video to provide a calming atmosphere whilst undertaking other tasks. It can be used in sequence with other videos or placed on repeat play. There is just a single title image at the beginning of the video and no interruption at the end, just nature images and relaxing music.

text: Hi all, I recently started loading a local truck at our center on twilight shift. I have been getting bags with local labels on them but the parcels inside are not local. I didn't know this was happening until a ft sup told me about the bags and 20 some misloads I have. Our sorter says he usually flips them and puts them in the rerun slide. I have never read anything other than the labels on the bags until now. I am guessing these bags are from drivers filling the bags with their smalls and no one checks them in the sort. I don't see how they come back as misloads though if they just stay in the building and are discovered by preload. What should I do if I am written up or get a warning letter? Thanks in advance.

Fitting Into a One-Shoulder Dress
Fashion reporter Teri Agins answers readers' questions
Q: I keep seeing dresses I love that have one shoulder or one diagonal strap to hold them up. There are many more blouses and sweaters that are made the same way. The only issue is a bra that won't show through. Also should the one-shoulder dress be very snug so it will stay up, or should it fall slightly loose?
—R.B., Cambridge, Mass.
A: Move over, Wilma Flintstone. The asymmetrical one-shoulder silhouette has really caught on in dresses and all kinds of tops from day to evening....

What's up, party people? I am in Rehoboth with Sweetney and Co. and right now everyone is off doing their own thang. The husband ventured to the main drag to check out the record store. The remaining adults are all internetting, and the kids are watching a movie and making high-pitched noises.
I was in the living room by myself when the beach house phone rang. I ran to answer it and had one of the most ridiculous conversations ever.
"Hello, who is this?"
"This is Kelly. I'm…I'm here…and I'm…My name's Kelly," I answered, because really what other explanation does she need and she's the one who called me anyway.
"Uh, so this isn't _____?"
Now, here the woman on the other end, no doubt a little stunned by having to talk to TEH KELLY (like, seriously, why did she even have to ask who I am? She didn't recognize my voice?), asked for someone…and I could have sworn she said, "Stephen Hawking." And I told her that no, that person wasn't here. I mean, I saw someone wheeling through the hall earlier with a vocoder, but I don't think it was him.
At home we always get calls for Pottery Barn Kids. The first few calls were just annoying, and now I get all irritated with such callers, because why can't they and their yuppie friends get the right number when seeking out their tasteful but overpriced children's furniture? Gawd.
Anyway, here's some pics of our one big activity so far: making our compulsory trip to Dogfish Head. We've spent the rest of our waking ours on the couch, though Tracey and I did throw down at the outlet mall today before our hungover asses nearly caused us to black out in Old Navy by the performance fleece.
The iPhone usage here is off the hook.
Hot wings. Perfect for a growing boy.
Shortly after taking this picture, I tossed these kids into a blender and made a cuteness smoothie. Seriously, is that shit not ridiculous? It's a total survival mechanism because the whining is a little intense.

There is so much power in the daily routines that we commit or don't commit to.
It is the reasons some are successful and the reason others are not.
If you look at the very successful in life (i.e top athletes, politicians, business men, pastors, actors, etc … ) They all have very diligent routines.
Most wake up before the sun and start their day with meditation and/or stretching/exercise or movement of some sort.
They plan ahead, writing down their week on sunday nights. Then recapping the night on what the next day has in store for you.
They Invest in themselves .. they set time in each day to write down their goals, dreams, and aspirations. It is astounding on what you can achieve when you know it is what you want.
Here are some helpful tips from Holden Rethwill on what to do to make your routine work to your advantage….
Having routine in our lives, has a huge impact on the person that we are today. From getting a routine sleep pattern of 7-8 hours, to eating food that properly fuels us, to making a fitness regime a true constant in your life.
Whatever plan you choose keep it routine. Don't workout one day and then take 6 off, or eat a healthy meal combined by 6 not so healthy. Consciously decide to make good, healthy, beneficial choices that are realistic and able to be sustained long-term.
Remember to embrace the journey and live life with balance and clarity!

text: I wanted to pen a powerful, sociologically rich thesis on why I adore The Apprentice's most reviled participant…but a piece of Sheetrock bumped my head, leaving me unconscious on my office floor for the past week. I've now regained enough strength to start bossing everybody around again, so here goes: If you hate the regally named Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, you obviously weren't born to lead. And you also have no class. What's not to like about a woman who rose from the projects to become a White House employee and an image consultant? She successfully trained pageant contestants in Guyana, for Pete's sake! (Check Omarosa.com for the glossy truth.) And who can deny that her neurotic teammates — Katrina, let go of her wrist! — have it coming? You see, Omarosa, who combines the viperish flair of 24's Sherry Palmer (Penny Johnson Jerald) with the timeless elegance of The Jeffersons' Helen Willis (Roxie Roker), does not care what you think. And even if she never wins the Donald's approval, she already owns every beat of my icy cold heart.

Whew, Black Friday & Cyber Monday are finally history! Now we can think about the upcoming holiday season. While we were actually out cruising, we made a pact that we didn't buy each other Christmas gifts. We celebrated with our tiny Christmas tree, nativity scene, decorations and special meals with special friends. Christmas was never an over-commercialized holiday.
It was so nice to be out and have time anchored out to think about what's important in our lives and appreciate everything we have. We looked forward to phone calls with family and friends.
But somehow we never quite lived up to our pact for no presents. But we had a great not-commercial time with gifts. Depending where we were – one year our only option for presents was the gift shop at Fantasy Island Resort at French Cay, Roatan. Another year we were anchored in Placencia Belize which is an "arty" little village the week before Christmas – we hid in the Sapodilla Lagoon for the deteriorating weather, so we were out of range of shopping on Christmas weekend itself, but see the upcoming Christmas Day post to see what happened! 🙂
In the meantime, here are some ideas for some fun things for cruisers that want to get cruiser Christmas gift, under $100….
1. Vinturi Wine Aerator. We love wine. Wine aboard Winterlude is usually not expensive well-aged wine – in fact, we've found that young inexpensive wines age much quicker with all the motion of the boat. The Vinturi Wine Aerator basically does the same thing as decanting the wine for about 30 minutes. Here's the description from the manufacturer:
Easily and conveniently enhance the flavor, bouquet, and finish of any wine with Vinturi's Essential Wine Aerator. Wine needs to breathe to allow it to open up, release its intended aromas, and of course, make it taste better. Vinturi's patent-pending design speeds up this process by instantly aerating with ease and convenience in the time it takes to pour a glass of wine.
2. Framed Poster or Print by Onne Van Der Wal. If you're still in the dreaming of cruising phase, Onne Van Der Wal's photos make the dream come alive. I love photography by Onne Van Der Wal. He has such a wonderful artsy eye for some of the everyday visuals that we see. So why am I not artistic enough to take that photo and make money selling my art? Oh well, guess I'm just grateful to see the scene with my own eyes, regardless if I'm talented enough to translate it into art. 🙂 Of course, we've not been lucky enough to see most of the scenes in Mr Van Der Wal's photos, but cruisers still in the dreaming stage are not the only ones still dreaming! 🙂
3. A Boat Hammock. David bought mine from a Columbian Trading Boat in the San Blas Islands as a Valentine's Day gift. We have a hammock at the lake cottage as well as one the boat. I do like the wooden spreaders at each end if your boat space allows, but if there's not room aboard, a regular hammock without the wooden spreaders at each end will be fine. David bought a "matrimonial" version as opposed to a "solo" size — i.e. supposedly two people as opposed to one. It's a bit tight for two, but fun to watch the stars together nonetheless. It's also great as "my space" for alone time while David's taking a shower just before sunset.
4. Stainless Steel Basic Tools set. Our first year cruising, our son bought my husband a small stainless steel tool set for Christmas. David didn't see the need for it, but was gracious nonetheless. Now over 10 years later, guess what tools he keeps at hand in the bottom kitchen drawer and whenever he asks me to get him a tool, it's always "you know, the blue handled ones" aka one of the "unnecessary" stainless variety! Our set wasn't big – it has two sizes of regular screwdrivers, two sizes of phillips screwdrivers and a pair of pliars. But while the other tools rust, these just keep on doing their job! These days it appears there are two separate sets, a pliars and wrench set, and the other with three different sizes of regular and phillips screwdrivers. You can see what I'm talking about here, one of the most useful gifts we've received for the boat!
5. My Nikon Binoculars ... We have two "good" pairs of binoculars – one is 7 X 50, one with a built in compass but not waterproof and the other, the fancy stabilization variety – which I must say we rarely use and NEVER used outside the U.S. because there were no markers to look at. "My" binoculars we originally bought for kayaking and birdwatching – they're smaller, lighter and waterproof, but not so powerful and no compass. We love them. They are always the go to binocs for taking in the dinghy exploring — up a jungle river to watch the sloths, monkeys and colorful birds. I don't think they're a replacement for the real thing with a built in compass, but they've sure gotten a lot of use over the past 10 years! And I use them on watch rather than having to adjust David's binocs for my eyes. And I see stuff almost as well as he does. Besides anything questionable and we turn on the radar to check it out. Boats with newer electronics would check out AIS, but we don't have it.
6. The Reef Set: Reef Fish, Creatures and Coral. When we were certified for scuba prior to buying s/v Winterlude, I bought the first book in this set, Reef Fish. After we went cruising, there was so much coral, starfish, octopus, zillions of things and I wanted to know what all of them are! So I ended up buying the other two books separately. It's much more cost effective to invest in the set!
7. Kindle It seems like every other cruiser I meet these days is sporting a Kindle or some version of electronic reader. I'm not entirely sold, but I will admit, it would allow a lot more variety of books aboard without taking up any space. And since everyone else seems sold on the concept, if you're inclined, give someone a Kindle! I learned a tip — if you have two in the same family, put them in the same exact name – that way both Kindles can have the same books without extra charge. But don't rely on me to know that's for sure accurate, do your own research to make certain before you try it. And leave a comment below and share with the rest of us!
8. A Petzl Headlamp. We started using headlamps back before all the major battery brands had jumped on the bandwagon … and despite having tried a couple of the "battery brands", we've gone back to Petzl or Black Diamond. None of them last forever, but with these two brands, we've had the elastic wear out before the headlamp! Refreshing. But the "battery brands" are less expensive … and less reliable. We use one just about every day — for peering into to dark corners of the engine room, looking for the elusive dropped lock nut when trying to replace the salt water pump/impeller — to looking into the can locker after dark to find a can of pinto beans.
9. Tifosi Polarized Sunglasses. My husband David swears by his Tifosi Polarized Sunglasses. He's on his second pair. They're priced much more reasonably than my favorite, Maui Jim, and seem to be just as effective on the polarization. When I look through my Maui Jims & then David's Tifosi's – they sure look similar to me. And under $100 seems to be a more reasonable price than ….. a lot more. Unfortunately Tifosi doesn't make a frame for narrow faces, otherwise I might have a pair or two! But looking like Fearless Fly is not me. 🙂 For more information, check out the Tifosi website here.
10. Dremel. The best multi-purpose tool in the world. David's used it for everything … including enlarging the size of the hole of our deck waste fill when the U.S. version was slightly larger than the original Taiwanese version. Ours is cordless, but the corded version is on this year's Christmas list now that we're in the boatyard! There are a gazillion versions, pick the one that's right for you & your boat.
11. The Boat Galley Cookbook! Of course, we had to add our very own cookbook, just published October 2012! 800+ recipes formulated for use in a boat galley, along with tips on practical info such as how to eliminate boat oven hot spots, provisioning, galley equipment, and more!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & be sure to enjoy the people in your life more than the presents! Anyone have something on your Christmas list under $110 that's not on our list? Please leave a comment and let us know! I'm looking for a present for David! 🙂

text: Okay, I have to stop! I have a Pirata Zucca that will be here at the end of the month, and I just won this on eBay BIN! It has the scene I love on both sides, the little pineapple is there, the little rootbeer (or whatever drink it is) is there, and the only thing missing is the little green/blue crab by the pineapple. Oh well! I have three pictures of the bag, and two more that exceed the limit of uploading and I am to tired to go and edit them right now! But they are of the sides of the bag with the pineapple on one side and the drink on the other! So cute! I got a great price on it, as well! So far, the seller has been super fast at replying to all my questions, and immediately sent me more photos when I requested them!


text: This is a bit of frustration. For years, bipolar wasn't something you heard too much about. I understand that with awareness comes better diagnosis'ing and treatment. But, it seems like everyone that goes to a psychiatrist ends up with a bipolar diagnosis. A friend of mine has recently been diagnosis'd bipolar. I've known her for 10 years. If she's bipolar, then I'm Angelina Jolie. And then they put her on Abilify, along with her welbutrin (can you get any more stupid???). In one week, the Abilify has caused significant disinhibition. She saw the nurse today; the psychiatrist is on vacation. She was told to continue the Abilify and if it gets worse to call. *blink* This is someone who is disinhibited enough all by herself. She doesn't need any help. I would bet everything I own that she is borderline. Borderline and bipolar often get confused. Of course, it would take more than one 45 minute session to determine that. But, in any case, it just seems like it is so overdiagnosed. It cannot be possible that everyone I know who ends up with a mental health diagnosis is bipolar. It's just not statistically possible. And look at the number of kids on the board who are diagnosis'd bipolar. I'm not saying none of them are, but the numbers are so high. I don't buy it. I'm not even convinced that difficult child 2 is bipolar. If he is, with the medications he's on, he should be going off the deep end. And he's not. The first time I joined the board 6 or 7 years ago, almost no one was familiar with medications like lamictal. Now look at it. These are powerful drugs and they are just dispensed as if it's no big deal. And then when they cause an adverse or undesirable reaction, they are told to wait it out and see what happens; or let's add this other medication to it. I am so frustrated with the mental health services in this country. Something has got to give. Off my soapbox now. ETA: I was even diagnosis'd bipolar at one time. Interesting as I have never had a manic or hypomanic episode. When I went back for my second appointment and wanted to discuss this, the psychiatrist said I wasn't medication compliant and refused to see me again. If I'm bipolar, I'm the most incredibly boring bipolar patient *ever*.

CLARKS SUMMIT — Clarks Summit Living Center held its first Oktoberfest Sunday, Oct. 16, complete with horse-drawn carriage rides, live music, German food and fall festivities.
Music filled the air as some of the residents and employees danced to polkas. Many kinds of autumn-themed brews, such as apple cider beer, were served by receptionist Patti Cuneo. Housekeeper Kat Visavati served German foods, such as corned beef and sauerkraut wraps, soft pretzels, stuffed mushrooms, and German chocolate cake.
Steve Duda of Brookvalley Farm provided horse-drawn carriage rides around the building, where people saw the foliage of the trees near the lot.
"Everybody loved the carriage rides," said Sue Chapin, sales director of the center. "They were the highlight of the day."
Outside the center, there was a bounce house, a fire pit to roast marshmallows, and little pumpkins for them to carve for the children.
"I think it's a wonderful idea," said resident Violet Pace, who enjoyed the carriage rides. "It's a very good family affair."
The grandchildren of Gail Ross, the director of Lifestyle 360, came to the event from Nicholson and emptied the insides of pumpkins to make jack-o'-lanterns for a pumpkin carving contest judged by residents Carol Conaboy, Sharon Wade, and Ann Fortuner.
"Even though I had to work, I still got to spend time with them," Gail said about her grandchildren (Noah, Lilah, and Carter Ross, and Jacob Vangorder). "They also get to learn about their German heritage."
Residents agreed that the Oktoberfest was a success.
"I think it's something for everyone," said resident Jane Nardella. "The weather is beautiful."
The management team is already planning to have Oktoberfest again next year for the center's residents.

—by Mary May Larmoyeux–Can you identify this snake? Yes, it's a plastic snake. And if you're a mom or grandmother, you might just think "boy in the house!" And you would be right! This particular snake helped me think about how important it is to remember the day a child is born.
A New Sister
You see, on the day that this particular snake graced our kitchen, our then six-year-old grandson and his two sisters had spent some time with Pops and me. Why? Because they had a brand new baby sister! Our grandson came with his basketball, plastic snake, and lots of imagination.
I asked him and his big sister to write down what they thought about the new baby. He printed that she was "so cyout [cute]"… and that she"looks like a "cimunk [chipmunk]." Big sis, on the other hand wrote in cursive, "… For the first time in my life I saw my baby sister, and she saw me. I held her and she stopped crying …"
Our little grandson and his big sister have actually begun to capture memories of their baby sister's birth. And I also did a few things to remember that day: took a picture of the morning fog and bought a newspaper. (Maybe she'll want to know about the weather … and what was going on in the world when she took her first breath.)
I think it's important for us to be intentional about capturing our family stories. Here are ten ways to remember the day a precious child or grandchild was born:
Ways to Remember the Day a Child Is Born
1. Write down the thoughts and feelings that you had when you first held your child/grandchild. And describe what happened on the day he was born.
2. Jot down the child's full name and date of birth in your Bible, along with a favorite Scripture that you will pray for her life.
3. Buy a newspaper so one day you can show your legacy what was going on in the world when he was welcomed into the world. Or print the homepage of an online newspaper.
4. Save the baby's first booties, and frame them with some pictures from her "birth-day."
5. If you live away from loved ones, take advantage of today's technology—use Skype or Face Time to connect.
6. Plant a tree in your yard, and take a picture when you do this. (Someday you can show this to your child/grandchild).
7. If your child has siblings, video the first time they meet their new brother or sister, and ask them what they think about the new addition.
8. Ask grandparents and great-grandparents to write the baby a "birth-day" letter, including their dreams for the child.
9. Take a picture of the hospital or home where the baby was born. Jot down the name of the doctor or mid-wife who delivered him.
10. On your baby's/grandchild's first birthday, give her a letter recalling the first day of her life. (Of course, this will be put in her baby book.)
What ideas do you have for remembering the day a child is born?

Media / Arts & Culture
Wednesday, 08 Feb 2017 12:20 firstname.lastname@example.com
The image of a Maasai Moran holding a spear while standing on one leg is a Kenyan icon that is recognized the world over. It is testament of a people who have no reservation with where they have come from. The Maa are a proud deep cultured community who have resisted the advances of modernism with fervor, all odds stacked against them. For Kenyans to embrace the nomadic, 'uncivilised' largely uneducated pastoralists as a representation of their country serves to prove that in the fast changing fortunes of time, originality and genuineness are traits that remain greatly admired.
Kenya is said to comprise of 42 tribes. What then happened to the other 41? How comes only the Maa proudly display their identity while the rest seek deep holes to bury theirs? How comes a Maa will proudly dorn his shukas and beads while the rest of Kenyans fight to wear cheap imitations of the latest trends from the West? Why did the Gikuyu women abandon ciondos and now go to the market with paper bags? Why do we see Kalenjins drink the Mursik only at the airport when receiving our triumphant athletes and not at any other moments? Do you notice the worrying trend of disappearing culture?
Recent argumentation in our media spaces lends credence to the popular slogan: One tribe, One Kenya. Whereas the underlying philosophy is quite attractive, it is time Kenyans embraced their tribal identity. The depth of socialization that happens in the family set-up cannot be replicated in the education or religious systems. All Kenyan tribes taught unity of purpose, self-dignity, respect of elders, industry and leadership skills which were imparted to the young through song, folklore, language and practically.
Every community had traits and attributes that made it unique e.g. the Kambas were known for their hunting and medicine skills, the Maasai for their cattle and bravery, Luos for their organized 'political' systems and courage etc. Beyond this, the interaction with other communities enabled deep relations that were cultivated through war, peace, trade, inter-marriages and finally the coming together to fight a common enemy- the British Colonialists.
The post-colonial era heralded a renewed commitment to the unity of the new state. Regrettably, the shunning of our traditional identities - a by-product of colonialisation - meant that the centuries-old progression of culture grounded to a halt. The mzungu told us that our ethnic identities were evil. To be incorporated into 'modern' society, we were forced to shed our beautiful hides and skins for the white man's shirt and tie. Our eloquence in our ethnic languages was rubbished in favor of the 'Queens' tongue. Lastly, our most revered worship places - the shrines - were ordered burnt down in favor of tin-roofed structures teaching the white man's religion.
Tribe is a good thing. Tribalism is the evil that gives tribe a bad name. When I partake of my culture, pray in our shrines, offer sacrifice for rain, pour libation for my children's protection, face the mountain and prostrate in reverence to God; isn't that what makes me African? On the reverse, when I go against natural laws of fairness, impoverishing other communities to favor my own, denying other children their birthright just because of their last names now that is tribalism! Which is evil.
Politicians are the new colonial masters. They have continually utilized ethnic identities as opportunities for division and war. They have perfected the art of remembering their identities when the general election approaches. They are the modern day Hitlers. Of course not all of them are bad but the few who are, make you regret being born Kenyan. Surprisingly they are reserved front seats in the white man's 'shrines' where they were made to believe that tribal identities were bad.
What would happen if a Luo wore a t-shirt with the words, 'I am Luo and proud' and strutted the streets of Muranga on a market day? What would happen if say a Kikuyu wore a t-shirt emblazoned 'Ndii Mugikuyu: I am A Proud Kikuyu' and walked the streets of Kisumu at mid-day? Your guess is as good as mine. The action towards the anger raised may be different but the soreness in the peoples' hearts would be equal. This is what politics has gifted the Republic called Kenya.
So who will save us from this quagmire? Is it the religious fraternity? The academic fraternity? The answer is No! The onus is upon us to ignite a cultural revolution that holds respect for others as sacred. We should invest more not in institutions but the hearts and minds of each and every Kenyan proclaiming the honor of each other's ethnic identity, religion and place in life. Only then shall we realize the dream of Nationhood.

You are maybe one of the many who are wondering what is arthritis. How could this ailment affect our health in general? Or you might be asking how you would know the symptoms. To start with, let me define arthritis. Looking at the physical indicant, this is simply an inflammation of joints. However, this inflammation is a kind of disease that affects the middle-aged individuals. In fact, those who have this disease suffer much.
When you have arthritis, your usual complain is the pain in the joint area due to swelling. But this symptom is not absolutely true to all because there are several types of arthritis. Each type has its own indication. When your joints are inflamed and you feel pain whether mild, moderate, or extremely excruciating, this type of arthritis is called rheumatoid arthritis. It is distinguished as a chronic type of inflammation because the swelling is recurrent especially in your small joints found in your hands and feet. The articular cartilage will little by little be broken apart due to the formation of the pulpy masses. It will eventually lead to disability if not combination of the joint surfaces. Thus, you can no longer walk permanently since your joints are not only causing excessive pain but also it becomes distorted.
If those symptoms are not the things you are experiencing, and in your mind you are still clouded with the same question "what is arthritis" really? Well, as I have mentioned earlier, there are several types. In reality, there are even a hundred or more ailments related to arthritis. Another type is osteoarthritis. There are two categories of osteoarthritis. These are the primary and secondary osteoarthritis. The first one is part of the natural process of aging. After 50 or 60 years, parts of our body deteriorate without any inclination of noticeable abnormality. It is usually the collagen matrix of the cartilage that is affected in this type of osteoporosis. The cartilage usually destroyed by the enzymes that were released because of the initial damage. Painful sensation seldom experienced. The secondary osteoporosis on the other hand, is more often than not caused by congenital abnormalities. Sometimes, it is due to obesity, surgery and other factors.
We can go on with the other types however aside from discussing about causes and symptoms, it is very practical to highlight the treatment. There are a lot of supplements that you can buy from health shops and other stores. But it is truly wise that you know the most important ingredient to consider. Rather than buying synthetic treatment, go for herbal extracts that contain the Perna Canaliculus. This plant does wonder in stopping inflammation and it helps restore the affected area. This is what is arthritis remedy must have.

Carry On Tuesday – Prompt #202
Hide and seek
the seasons play –
one day it's Winter
and the next, Spring comes to stay.
Swaying with the caressing breeze
overnight, the trees bloom.
All that was brown and bare
is now in a lush green costume.
The buds, blushing in morning dew,
look like a child's cheek red with joy.
Exquisitely they bloom before dusk
and adulthood they seem to enjoy.
Tell me, could it be magic –
all this swift change of scene?
Is there someone with a wand
veiled behind the sky, the big screen?
This is my entry for Carry On Tuesday – Prompt #202 – Could it be magic?
Wordless Wednesday – 41
Posted by Titaxy in Funny, Memories, Photography, Prompts on January 9, 2013
At the break of dawn,
as the full moon steps aside,
yesterday's faltering emotions die.
And at the touch of the first rays of sun,
new hopes spring where there was once none.
This is my entry for 3WW CCLXXXIII – falter, emotion, touch.
Standing at the crossroads (Carry On Tuesday #166)
Lightning strikes; thunders roar.
A storm in the making, inside and out.
Does she dance to the happy tunes?
Or let her distressed heart feel the gloom?
Droplets grace her cheeks, tears or rain?
Only she knows whether she chose joy or pain,
until a sweet smile appears and her face glows –
her mind's made up, standing at the crossroads.
To let peace take her side; to let go of the storm inside
And to embrace beauty, with arms wide.
This is my entry for Carry On Tuesday, Prompt #166 – Standing at the crossroads
The Thursday Think Tank # 82 – The Road
A blank white canvas

Snow covered road
Untouched. Undisturbed.
Also unloved?

One Single Impression: Prompt 172 – Miss (Long for)
Miss You
Memories of you invade my night.
I smile and sob as I reminisce the past.
Stars across the sky I use to write,
Stories of us, so forever they last.
You and I, the tale starts.
Of our love, grief and joy there are parts.
Undo I wish to do of your death to give hope to lovers' hearts.
This is my entry for One Single Impression: Prompt 172 – Miss.

Much ink has been spilled, including by myself, in the immediate aftermath of Bernanke's idiocy with "QE3".
But we should all remind ourselves of two ugly and inescapable facts:
1. QE is allegedly about "creating jobs"; this is the part of Bernanke's mandate that he claims is falling short. (Note that he completely ignores "moderate long term interest rates"; an under 2% 10 year is anything but moderate)
2. There have been no jobs created, net of working-age population increases, since QE-anything began.
We can prattle on about this, that and the other thing, but we cannot escape this reality. The only thing that matters when it comes to employment is the percentage of working-age people that have jobs. That's it. It's all there is from a standpoint of economic progress and it's also all there is from a standpoint of fiscal sustainability as only the employed pay taxes.
QE has been an abject and objective failure.
The real reason for QE is that the banks are still ridiculously levered compared to both historical norms and sustainable levels.
This has expressed itself in housing — and still does, despite what you hear on CNBS:
That latter chart, incidentally, implies a further 50% decrease in the price of houses — or a doubling of GDP — is somewhere in the offing. (Or, of course, some combination of the two.) Since a doubling of GDP will take literal decades at a 1% growth rate the obvious answer to that riddle is found in home prices.
Preventing this correction in the banking system, which is inherently tied to home prices, is what QE is about. The Fed and Federal Government are walking hand-in-hand in this regard, as the Federal Government is handing out money like seawater at oceanside to everyone under the sun in ever-increasing numbers — food stamps, Medicaid, student loans, you name it — all in a puerile and ultimately futile attempt to protect a financial system that got too full of itself and then turned to fraud and scam in an attempt to keep the "money train" rolling.
But without capital formation the economy cannot recover.
Capital formation requires a positive rate of return on lent capital.
ZIRP and QE destroy that positive rate of return on lent capital.
Oh sure, in the short run the stock market loves "more liquidity" — much like a drug addict loves his meth and a drunk loves his booze. But the drug addict eventually rots his teeth and his brain turns to mush, while the drunk winds up with liver cancer.
Both must either stop the stupid or die.
So must we.
Much of the misery and rage we see around the world is tied to high commodity prices. And those are also tied to currency debasement and speculation fueled by excess liquidity.
We have a toxic witches' brew created by an evil, deranged and delusional wizard and his minions, and if that wizard is not caged and his minions put out to pasture it will not be long before the damage becomes so great that the system folds back on itself and collapses.
There are solutions to this mess but there are no easy solutions. There are no solutions that do not involve admitting what we've done and shutting off the "free money" spigot along with the exponential expansion of credit.
We have already hit that wall. Everything since 2008 has been nothing more than an attempt to restart exponential credit creation and the attempt has failed, as total systemic debt has only grown 1.85% since 2008.
This is very important to understand — QE began at the end of 2008 and its intention was to "spur lending" — that is, restart the exponential credit cycle.
It has objectively and factually failed.
The market may well take a while to suss this out and come to the inevitable conclusion about what this means for solvency of financial institutions and households, along with asset prices.
But the market will figure it out.
It always does.
Bernanke has fired his last round, but all of them since the first QE have objectively been a clean miss, and there's no evidence available that this will be any different.
Consider that financial leverage chart and its implications — and be prepared.

WILKES-BARRE — With a dead buddy on top of him and enemy soldiers jabbing him with bayonets to see if he, too, was dead, young Gino Merli steeled himself not to move or make a sound.
The trick worked. Merli played possum — twice — then got up and returned to his machine gun, firing at the Germans during a long night that turned Sept. 4, 1944 into Sept. 5 outside of Sars La Bruyere, Belgium.
Merli also took part in the Invasion of Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge, but it was his heroism on that long September night that led to the Scranton native receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor from President Harry S. Truman and, much later, a mention in Tom Brokaw's tribute to World War II veterans, "The Greatest Generation."
It also inspired playwright Tom Flannery of Archbald to write the script for a one-man play, "The Last Thoughts of Gino Merli" which has been making the rounds of regional schools, playing before some 36,000 students in recent years.
Scranton actor Bob Shlesinger, taking on the persona of Gino Merli, will present that show this week to students at Dallas and Pittston Area high schools.
The public is invited to free, shows at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.) Nov. 9 at Pittston Area High School in Yatesville and 7 p.m. Nov. 10 at the Performing Arts Center at Dallas High School. If you prefer a day-time presentation, the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock will host "The Last Thoughts of Gino Merli" at 3 p.m. Nov. 8.
"I don't know that I've ever come across anybody as extraordinary as Gino Merli," playwright Flannery said in a telephone interview, explaining he "learned as much as I could about Gino" by interviewing his widow, Mary. "With a lot of people, you hear about their greatness but then the more you learn about them as people, it can be disappointing. In this case, your admiration just grew, the more you learned about the man."
Merli's compassion, humility and, yes, his battlefield fears, come through in the play, said Shlesinger, who has collected comments about the ways the show impresses audiences, especially younger ones who may not know any World War II veterans personally.
"To keep an entire auditorium of high school students mesmerized by a one-man play in today's world of technology is an amazing feat," principal Jim Tallarico of Montrose Area High School praised the show.
"I saw several students crying as the play was concluding," Veterans Day Coordinator Evelyn Burke of Lakeland School District wrote.
"He never thought what he did was anything special," Shlesinger said of Merli. "He said there were other guys, 10 times braver than he was, who died and nobody knows their stories. In a lot of ways, he represents the best attributes of this area."
Merli was afraid during the war, Flannery said, but "bravery isn't about not being afraid; bravery is about being able to handle your fear. This was a guy was who plucked out of his high school school class (to go to war). What does he do when he gets back? He goes back to high school."
The play should be regarded as a tribute to all veterans, Shlesinger said, not only those from World War II.

James Cook Essay, Research Paper
Captain James Cook~ World's Greatest Explorer
Captain James Cook, an English Navigator and explorer, discovered Austria and the Hawaiian Islands on three famous voyages through the south pacific. Cook became an explorer because of his love of adventure and curiosity about distant lands and their people. Cook was born in Yorkshire, England in the year 1728. Then in the year 1755, Cook joined the British Navy. As a member of the Navy, he became an expert surveyor and astronomer. He was privileged in many situations; for instance, he was the man to help map the Saint Lawrence River and the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland.
His skill in sounding, surveying, and charting this river won for him the post of marine surveyor of the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador . When Cook reported a solar eclipse off the coast of North America, he soon became known as Astronomer and a mathematician.
Cook set out in 1768 on his first voyage through the pacific on a ship called the Endeavor in search for the "Terra Australia's", which was believed to be a great continent that might have existed in the far south, he was determined to find whether or not it existed. Besides heading out in search for the unknown land, Cook also wanted to observe the eclipse of the planet Venus and find the Cape of Good Hope. He spent six months circumnavigating and mapping the Coast of New Zealand, but because of the hostility of the natives, Cook was unable to explore the inner land. Not only did he sail along New Zealand, but he also wandered into Tahiti where he had discovered new land. Cook also explored the East Coast of Austria in which he named to Britain. After exploring the coast of New Guinea, Cook decided to return home for a break.
In 1771, Cook set sail from England, this time with two ships, the "Resolution" and the "Adventure". This time, he was in search to prove that a great continent in the South Pacific Ocean did exist. This voyage was recorded as his longest voyage of all. It is said that this voyage lasted for three years and that he traveled about 70,000 miles. While on this voyage, he sailed across the Antarctic Circle; he was the first European to do so. Unfortunately, Cook did not travel far enough South to discover the true Antarctica Continent. He also discovered New Caledonia and the Cook Islands, which he named after himself.
On his third expedition, which was in 1776, he set sail with two new ships looking for the Northwest Passage. These two ships were the "Resolution" and the "Discovery". The Northwest Passage was a way to sail from Northern Atlantic Ocean to the Northern Pacific Ocean. On this voyage, Cook had discovered the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. As he sailed along the West Coast of Northern America, from Oregon to the Artic Circle, he surveyed the area. During this time, he also sailed through the Bering Strait. Beyond the Bering Strait, he found that a solid wall of ice blocked the passage. Forced to turn back, he returned to Hawaii. He had won the friendship of the people there by his sensible and kind treatment.
From West to East, Cook explored the entire far Southern Pacific. He mapped many old islands, but he also discovered many new ones at the same time. Cook was eager to make as many new discoveries as he could, each and every time he set sail, he only dreamed of coming across land that had not yet been discovered, and most of the time, he lived his dream.
Cook made extensive explorations of the northwestern coast of North America, seeking an inlet. Trouble arose, however, when one of the ship's boats was stolen. Cook took some men ashore to recover the boat. A fight with some islanders occurred because of the theft, and on February 14, 1779 Hawaiian natives stabbed Cook to death. Without Cook, The expedition arrived back in England in October of 1780.
Like Captain James Cook, they're where many other explorers that voyaged out into the unknown sea in search to find a given destination. Not knowing if it had existed they set sail anyway. Cook knew he was in danger each time he set sail, but he was known as one of the greatest captains of all time. Cook was the first one to prevent the spread of scurvy, which is a deficiency of Vitamin C, aboard each of his ships. Scurvy was the main cause for most deaths that occurred on any given ship while at sea.
Captain James Cook was an immense voyager, as he is now, he will continue to be remembered as one of the greatest explorers of all time. In only three separate voyages, he discovered more of this land, planet earth, than any other man alone. Cook will always be remembered for his fascinating work and discoveries, and when we look back on the past, he will certainly be one of the most important men in the history of our planet.

Read an exclusive interview with Polish filmmaker Słavomir Batyra, director of THE GREAT THEATRE. He will guide you through the recesses of his short film just like his film guides the viewers through the recesses of the largest opera house in the world. Would you like some opera tickets or rather cinema ones? What about taking both?
Why did you decide to make a film about the Grand Theatre in Warsaw?
I studied Directing at the National Academy of Dramatic Arts in Warsaw. One of the classes I had to take there was Technology of Theatre, run by Professor Bojar, who has been in the theatre since it was rebuilt after the war in the 1960's. Professor Bojar knows everything about the Grand Theatre, every inch of it. As the students of Directing, we would spend there two hours each week, walking around the theatre and getting to know it. We spent there one semester, discovering new and new parts of it each time, and still, we didn't manage to get to know it all.
About many things there I only learned while shooting the film. For example, I hadn't known that there was a health facility, or a first aid room where a nurse has a shift during each performance. There is also a fire unit, a fiction library, apart from the theatre library and music library, etc.
Did you have to take an exam at the end of this course?
Yes. We even had to learn some physics formulae for it. Of course, the most important was the theoretical and historical knowledge, but also the technological expertise.
Did you come up with the idea to make a movie about it before you graduated?
I came up with the idea later but that space was inspiring from the very first day. We were all walking around the place, our jaws dropped, and our heads full of ideas what we could do with all that. The concrete idea for the film developed a few years later, however.
How come you made your film with the producer Adam Sokołowski and deLord Studio?
I contacted Adam through my friends. We met, I told him shortly about my idea for the film, Adam listened to me and after thirty minutes I left with a confirmation that we would do it together. I was really lucky, because Adam understood immediately what kind of film I wanted to make and he became genuinely interested. I was telling him about the Grand Theatre in quite a vivid way. He also knew the place and its scale, so my role was to translate our common idea into the film language. I am really happy he let me make the film the way I wanted it to be made: in a contemplative, poetic manner. No interviews, talking heads or voice-over narration.
You are a theatre director, which is very different from being a film director. Was it a difficult change for you?
I learned through practice, while shooting the film. Adam Sokołowski gave me a free hand. The cinematographer Krzysztof Gromek and I were unrestricted in terms of the number of shooting days. And we shot for a long time. But thanks to this, we had enough time to get to know each other, discuss a common vision and work out the best way to cooperate.
At first, when you get in the Grand Theatre, you get into all those spectacular activities: for instance, you can watch a team of about fifteen people who move a few-metre-tall bull, a dozen ladies, carrying some costumes or wigs, pass you by. It is really picturesquely there, on the many floors the corridors never seem to end. We almost got fever: we were recording everything. Soon we realized that what was happening there was repetitive. So we decided not to turn on the camera for the first hour, no matter what. We wanted to get ready, set frames, etc. If needed, we would come back in the same place on a different day and record the fragment we had missed. We knew that what we were waiting for would be repeated, because each day in the Grand Theatre is the Groundhog Day.
How was the script for your film developed?
A treatment was created, which was an attempt at capturing the place's poetic mood through the theatrum mundi topos. If we treated Madama Butterfly as the real world, then all those people who work backstage would be the keepers of fate, the fate that is written in the score. Teresa Krasnodębska, the stage manager, is the main keeper, who knows how exactly it is going to end and starts this huge machine. We found this metaphor inspiring and we followed it.
How long did it take you to make the film?
Very long. In the Grand Theatre, everyday something new happens. We were afraid that if we focused on one performance only, we would make a making-of film. We didn't want to include too many shows, as this would be a hotchpotch. After the theatre gave us the green light, scouting took many months: I went to performances, met people, and took photos, trying to get the people used to me. I also wanted to check what I could do as a documentary film-maker. I realized that they had to get used to me, and that I had to show the nature of their job. Then we shot for nine months. After that, the editing took quite long too. Finally, we were trying to get the rights to use Maria Callas' recording from her La Scala concert in 1955. The whole process took quite a few years.
It must have been a good school of directing.
A baptism of fire. At the first stage after shooting, I was alone with the footage. I edited some forty minutes and played it to Daniel Sokołowski. It wasn't a film, I just wanted to show him what rhythms I was thinking about. Then Daniel took the footage over and after some time, he came back with a version very similar to the final effect.
What was your inspiration for making The Great Theatre?
I keep getting inspired by the art-house cinema of the 60's and 70's. Great masters. When it comes to documentaries, most often I switch them off after a few minutes. I usually consider boring stories based on watching a person's life. Paradoxically, what I seek in documentaries is creation, and what I am interested in the most in theatre is bringing a life story down to the level of theatrical convention.
As you put it yourself, your film is poetic. Do you communicate in a similar way in your plays?
If I direct a theatre performance, most often its structure is rather scrambled. But there is always a hint, some kind of linearity. Even in the film, there is an integrating element: the story of Madame Butterfly is shown chronologically, not to the full post-dramatic extent. Here, the time frame is somewhat scrambled, but there is a thread to follow throughout the film. Usually, it is the same in theatre I make.
Have you decided to abandon theatre in film's behalf?
I work less and less in theatre. The emotional cost and the time I have to spend working out new contracts is too much for me. I am more interested in the form of communal theatre, such as the Warsaw Revolutionary Theatre, created by the community and fighting for a specific idea. I believe this is the future of theatre.
Are you going to stick with documentary film-making?
I am, for now. At the moment, I'm making a film about Spitsbergen. It's great to be a documentary film-maker in a place like this, with the scientists. And it's even better to be a documentary film-maker who works with the form I try to apply. I entered this place somewhat like a poet. The scientists had seen my film about the Grand Theatre, so they knew what to expect. They gave me a chance to stay with them, observe them and use their presence for metaphoric and poetic purpose. I am very happy I can stay in the Polish research station as a documentary film-maker.
Don't the scientists treat you as an intruder?
They do, to some extent. At the beginning it was terrible: the scientists expected sensation-thirsty reporters from a commercial TV station. They are completely isolated there, together for many months: they must have gone through a lot of good and bad together, they spent a polar night there. They are to go back to Poland in a month, after a year of not using a car, or pavement, or money. Tension builds up and then, suddenly some "journalists" arrive. Fortunately, we managed to get used to each other very quickly. Most importantly, I showed them my previous film. They realized it wasn't going to be anything intimate, and that we weren't going to cross their comfort zone in any way.
How do you imagine your audience?
When I make a film, I don't have a specified target group in the back of my head. But I do visualize how my film might be watched: I see a person, seated in a comfortable seat in front of a huge screen, breathing slower, calmer. The journey begins. I want my audience to ride the same vehicle with me.
