No electricity the whole day long.

It was heaven.
The kids played and laughed and breathed fresh air.
I took a long, much needed nap.
It was quiet.
No buzzing, no humming, no radios.
Happy, natural, quiet sounds.

In the eyes of the children the greatest thing I do is bring home packages from the post office. (No home delivery here in Kenya.) I could have gone and fed 500 hungry kids that day, but that pales in comparison to bringing home that box. If they know I have gone to pick one they will sit by the gate waiting for me, and surround the car looking for the parcel.
Over the years we have received all kinds of good stuff through the mail.
There have been a few items of a more questionable nature as well.
Fun times.
There is a list right here on the blog. However do not let the list restrict you. Surprises and creativity are always nice.
That particular box Sarah is holding in the picture had a replacement glass for an Ipad, which was totally awesome. I did not expect the book, which was a nice surprise.
Yesterday I posted about all the expenses we have for September. It's overwhelming caring for so many children with all their needs. It seems like there's never really any excess for Mom and Dad.
I was thinking about it yesterday how, even though I have some donations that have come in, and I'm SOOO grateful, I still feel like it just goes into the kids. Which is wonderful, and one of the reasons why I know that our orphancare project is fantastic! The proof is in the kids.
But sometimes, it would be nice to chip away at my personal wish list. IF I had some money above and beyond all the needs of feeding, educating, and providing for others... what would I do with it?
Here's my selfish list:
Ok, I better stop....
I may be a volunteer in Africa, but I still have a wish list. ;)
Someone recently asked me how much money we need to do what we do each month. I mean, 14 children, most of whom are teenage girls... that's huge, right?
Well, I decided to break it down. Firstly, this is the basics (meaning it doesn't include community aid, building on the shire, home school field trips, nor emergencies, etc..), AND secondly, this month is different because it's a 'school fee' month. That means every fourth month, we have to pay the fees for our 9 orphans-no-more's education.
To sum it up, this month we need: $4,726, but next month we'll only need about $3,000. That's not bad for 16 people, IMO.
Here's the breakdown in USD, and these are mostly due on the first of September.
Total: $4,726
There ya have it! October will be less needy once school fees, car needs, etc... are out of the way.
Thanks for helping us give quality care to these kids. They deserve it.
The girls were supposed to be off of school for the month of August; however, their school thought it necessary to keep teaching them through the holiday (for an extra fee), so that they perform well on their national exams.
Thoughtful, huh?
They have one week left of 'holiday' despite not getting a day off so far. So we decided to let them choose if they wanted to go this last week to 'summer school' or not. Only ONE is going out of the nine.
The house is noisy with Geo-songs. They are learning even while at home. Imagine that!
With that said, school starts in ONE WEEK! I have a lot to do before then! Not only are school fees due for the orphans-no-more, we have to prepare for our home school students as well with books and such.
Plus, I don't feel as if I accomplished as much as I would have liked during this off month. I'll be home schooling during the day, which takes the wind out of my sails as far as work on The Shire goes. I hope to teach more through cooking around the world this term, though. Looking forward to it!
One of the most shocking things about young Mary's past is that after her parents died, in order to eat, she had to work around the village-- her payment being scraps of food from her 'employers.'
When she moved in with us a few years back, she definitely had food issues. She'd sneak in the kitchen and take food and hide it in odd places.
Fortunately, time in a stable environment has healed that wound, and she no long hides food, but being a very fast grower as well as her past issue, she loves food and will eat it and still feel hungry no matter how large the portions. We allow the kids to take seconds and thirds, but Mary can eat like she might not have food tomorrow. So there are many times I have to restrict how many times she can take from the serving pots so that others can have some, too!
With that said, today was her 14th birthday. I wanted to give her no restrictions on food. I took her out to a place in town where we ordered, cabbage, kale, beans, rice, lentils, pico, chapati, ugali, grilled meat, boiled plantains, and there was so much food, I stopped early in the game.
Mary ate and ate and ate... and then for supper, we grilled ribs, had cabbage, kale, spanish rice, smokies, and even more food... until.... she threw up.
Birthday cake was still consumed by Mary afterwards, but I have to admit, she grimaced through it. <Giggle>
Still, I feel like today was a mission accomplished. My gift to Mary, apart from spending one on one time with her the entire day shopping at the used clothes venders on the streets, was to let her not have any limits in the food department. Let her be FREE.
She had a great time. And she has a tummy ache trophy to prove it. And I'm so happy we were able to give her FOOD.
Happy birthday to my sweet Mary.
*FYI, this was her second birthday party ever.
Some one recently said to me, "It looks like on your blog and FB all you do is work on The Shire and cook. Why would anyone give to your project?"
I thought that I would expound a little bit on this statement so you can see the importance of just cooking and shire work.
Firstly, a little history. Johnny & I moved to Kenya to make a difference. After two years of preaching, teaching, and trying to make a difference in the typical missionary fashion, we realized that it wasn't working. We knew we needed to just do it and be an example ourselves. We had to be willing to walk the talk and so we took in orphans into our personal home expanding our family from just the five of us at that time to sixteen, and ultimately, I believe, we are changing the face of how orphan care should be done.
I'm a passionate person. I want my children to learn in every aspect of daily living. I cook everything from scratch, (being that it is for 16 people means it's like preparing for a party EVERY meal), so I talk about it often! I teach my kids how to make and eat healthy, delicious, whole foods! So my cooking jabber IS an integral part of giving my huge family, especially our orphans-no-more who came to us malnourished years ago, a bright future, IMO.
As far as the work on The Shire goes, I am focused right now on it because I believe it is where we are headed. It has endless possibilities for growing food to expanding the amount of people we help, and providing a more sustainable lifestyle. I want to empower our children with the ability to build, to be creative, to learn to live off the land... I hope they all have more than they need when they are grown, but teach a child to fish...
*Camping on The Shire with some of our children, and learning how to build from the earth.
Perhaps our project isn't as appealing visually as those who have loads of money to spend on advertising.
But one thing I know, we ARE making a huge difference in the lives of these children because they are our LIFE. We don't live separately. We are personally filling in the gap that they are missing-- Parents.
As far as the future goes? Each day is a new day. We never stop loving people. I'm focused on my fourteen kids right now and getting The Shire inhabitable. After that, I'm open to whatever it is this journey takes me. One thing is certain- I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
I am part of the East African Women's League.
I'm the youngest member in our league as far as I can tell.
I love being a part of the league for many reasons, some of them unexplainable. I'm a social person, and I love older people. They have so many stories, and these women, most of them, have grown up in Kenya in a culture that is not typical to my native African friends. I mean most of them had colonial parents. With that said, they have skills I can't find in my fellow Native Kenyan friends such as baking Swiss rolls, scones, pies, tatting, embroidery, beading, making butter, and other more European trades. It's not to say that my Kenyan friends can't bake or make butter! It's just that most of them don't have ovens nor fridges. And they haven't been exposed to certain arts that I grew up with.... but that's another blog.
Today, I was the hostess and teacher for our Nakuru League branch, and it was so much fun. We made CHEESE! And the ladies were quite interested. I gave them each a rennet tablet, too, with the hopes that they will practice when they get home.
All in all, I say it was quite a successful day.
I learned how to pour milk out of the jug so it doesn't splash me, too! Oh, and did I mention our cat decided to bring a mouse in the house during the meeting! Exciting!
I'm off to bed now feeling happy.
FYI, we have a variety of people in our league. Some are white Kenyans, others Indian Kenyans, others Native Kenyans, and others 'foreigners' who have lived in Kenya for most of their lives... It's so interesting learning from each culture. Today, while I taught Mozzarella Cheese making, one lady told us how to make Paneer Cheese, too!
Kate's perspective on this Terrible Tuesday's Blog
This morning, Johnny wrote a Terrible Tuesday Blog post <scroll down to read it>. However, I felt that this Tuesday was going beautifully!! I got to spend the day in a hardware store!!! That makes me happy. We bought the plexiglass for the hut reciprocal roof hole, and the other items we need for the roof to get finished. I even bought a mirror for the girls! That's an entirely different blog post!
With that said, it was a fantastic Tuesday until...
Edith, our 10 year old orphan-no-more dropped something on my ipad, which happens to be my main/only computer.
The screen is SHATTERED. If it weren't for the fact that I have a keyboard, I could have cuts on my fingers from typing this blog article...
Not happy with this Tuesday after all. Did I mention we don't have electricity at the moment either? Admittedly, I like the power cuts. Makes us have quiet, candlelit evenings. Still... I want my ipad back!! <whine>
I am sitting in a cafe, one of the few with wifi, here in Nakuru waiting for our car to be repaired. Kenyan roads are rough on vehicles. We broke a fan belt on the way home from The Shire this past Sunday. Andrew, who has been studying as an apprentice to a local mechanic, was able to come and rescue us. Monday we did not have the cash to have the vehicle repaired, so here I am now.
Thought it was fixed, but it is overheating now. Back to the shop we go, or rather the shop will be coming to us.
This Tuesday is shaping up to be Terrible.
Working on orphan care and issues of poverty in Kenya.

10 Reasons God Loves Gay Christians
1. The term"homosexual" did exist until 1892 n't.
Some contemporary Bible translations say that "homosexuals" will not inherit the kingdom of Jesus, but neither the idea nor the term for those who have exclusive same-sex attraction existed prior to the belated century that is 19th. Although the Bible rejects lustful behavior that is same-sex that's completely different from a condemnation of most homosexual individuals and relationships.
2. Intimate orientation is just a brand new concept—one that the Christian tradition hasn't addressed.
Many Christians draw to their faith's traditions to contour their opinions, however the idea of intimate orientation is new.

REP have had a good start to the year and all the children were really enthusiastic to start the new term!
This week the children have been listening to the story, 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen. They have particularly enjoyed watching a YouTube video of Michael acting out a retelling of the story. The children have been learning to describe the bear from the story. In their child initiated learning, the children have been acting out the story using props and they have liked exploring our role play area which is a bear watching den. The children have also painted pictures of brown bears.
In Maths this week the children have been learning to make numbers 10-15 using two tens frames and they have been making numbers 10-15 using Numicon.
Next Thursday Reception are having a 'bring your teddy bear to school' day so don't forget to send your child in with their teddy bear (clearly named please!)

I'm designing a planet that has reached the top level of civilization.
This species has left behind the need for violence, they have found a way to live in peace with their planet's ecosystem and they have interstellar travel that allows them to visit other universes.
Their economic system is based on knowledge (if someone wants to buy something he or she has to learn something new, the more you learn the more you can buy), they can build massive megastructures and they can terraform another planet within a few hours.
They have achieved immortality and therefore everyone is at the same age (they grow until some point and then stop), they have utopian like cities, there is no poverty there (neither racism or sexism), they have found a way to prevent stars from dying, they think that competition is something pointless and they have found a way to create their own universes or pocket dimensions.
But back to the question: What could their lifestyle be like on their home-world? What could their everyday life be like for them?
Note: I know that people say that a type omega civilization would probably live outside the space-time continuum, but I decided to say that they still live on their home-world.

Micro-credit as a strategy for poverty alleviation among women entrepreneurs in Nasarawa State, Nigeria
All over the world, poor people are routinely excluded from the formal finance system, ranging from full exclusion in developing countries, to partial exclusion even in developed countries. This fact contributes to making poverty a major development challenge, with one often touted solution being that of providing access to micro-loans. Research has continued to report mixed findings on the effects of microfinance factors on poverty alleviation. However, the increased involvement of women entrepreneurs in the major markets in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, in the activities of microfinance banks, NGOs, associations, cooperatives, rotating savings groups, self-help groups, and savings mobilisation groups (or adashi) suggests that further investigations on the relationship between microfinance factors and poverty alleviation should be conducted.
That is the aim of this study, which was carried out to identify and assess the relationship between microcredit, and self-employment, education, training and skills acquisition, and economic empowerment in a Nigerian context. It begins by contextualising the needs and challenges of women entrepreneurs, and outlining the microfinance environment. Next, the methodology of the study is explained, which includes the adoption of a survey-based research design, a systematic sampling technique to select the elements that completed the research questionnaire, and a regression statistical method, employed to analyse the data collected from the 343 selected respondents of women entrepreneurs.
The null hypotheses tested were that micro-credit: has no significant effect on the self-employment of women entrepreneurs; is not positively related to the education, training and skills acquisition of women entrepreneurs; and has no significant positive effect on the economic empowerment of women entrepreneurs. Through literature review, the authors define and discuss the nature of micro-credit, and how it relates to women entrepreneurs, poverty and poverty alleviation, self-employment, and education, training and skills, and economic empowerment.

Allied health professional receives scholarship
As a young Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science graduate with Honours in Radiation Therapy Forbes' Zoe Carke hopes to grow the access to radiation therapy in rural communities.
This week Zoe was named a recipient of The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) Foundation's 2019 Rural Scholarship program.
The 23 year-old says she grew up with the desire to help others and an interest in allied health services.
This led Zoe to study at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga.
With limited regional radiation therapy centres, Zoe is excited to educate individuals on the benefits radiation therapy can have and hopes that in the future she is able to grow access to therapy and contribute to equal health services for rural and regional communities.
Zoe is one of 11 recipients of the scholarship program who call the central west home.
An initiative designed to build strong and vibrant NSW rural communities, the scholarships are awarded to students originally from rural areas who are studying at University or TAFE within New South Wales.
RAS Foundation Manager Cecilia Logan said the future of rural and regional NSW starts with its youth.

Episode propaganda
Passing through space occupied by the Lokirrim, a race of hologram-hating people, the Doctor (Robert Picardo) seeks refuge in Seven of Nine's (Jeri Ryan) Borg implants, taking control of her body. Intoxicated by the experience of real Human sensations for the first time, the Doctor becomes obsessed with the need for new physical experiences: a quality which Ranek (Fritz Sperberg), the Lokirrim Captain, finds very attractive.

Dating lesson 47: don't do the alien mind possession trick on your potential girlfriend - it never works!
On a more prosaic note, Jeri Ryan does yet another great impersonation (see also Infinite regress), this time of Robert Picardo as the EMH. She has the vocal, physical and emotional characteristics down pat; it really is as if Seven has been taken over by the Doctor. Coolness.
It's a shame that you don't get to see anything of the photonic insurgents because although slavery has been looked at many times before in Star trek, it's not often that the slaves are the creations of the enslavers. The photonics' revolt against their former masters, and their shockingly effective use of bio-chemical weapons would make a really gritty story. Instead, the darkest point that Body and soul achieves is the Doctor's abuse of his power over Seven's body, made criminal by the fact that Seven is aware of what he is doing.
A crime is only a crime if someone knows that it has been committed.
The alternate story, Tuvok's pon farr, ties up a potential loose end: a Vulcan male has seven years between each pon farr and the show runs for seven years so it has to happen at some stage. What is interesting is the way that Tom treats Tuvok with more respect while being a Doctor than he ever has on the bridge. Normally he'd be the first to crack a joke at the Vulcan's expense, especially with Harry Kim around ("Two little boys had two little toys..."), but he's incredibly sensitive and compassionate. It's a side of Tom Paris that even B'Elanna doesn't get to see (even taking into account the "mooshy stuff" in Drive). Perhaps it was only brought out because the actor was also the director, but the character has also been growing into an adult from his overly arrested development.
Robert Duncan ("Robbie" to his fans) has made the best of the script, but there's only so much that you can do with an egg and a frying pan.

Flow dependant micro catheter
The MAGIC catheters are the only real flow dependant catheters, meaning that their progression through the arteries system is facilitated by the blood flow. This characteristic is achieved thanks to an extreme suppleness of the PUR SIL tubes which allows a fast and non traumatic progression of the catheter inside the blood vessels. It was actually this remarkable property of the catheter that led the users to naming it "MAGIC".Download the MAGIC brochure.
Balt offers a complete solution for Silk implantation:
Artery reconstruction system- a flow diverter
The Silk artery reconstruction device system allows for the innovative treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Owing to its high density braiding, Silk promotes efficient and positive flow changes.Download the Silk brochure.
Self Expanding intracranial stent
Next generation self expending intracranial stent.
The self-expanding LEO PLUS intracranial stent is designed specifically for the reconstruction of wide-necked post-carotid siphon aneurysms. Unlike open - or closed-cell stents, it is made of very fine, braided nitinol wires that slide smoothly onto each other when the stent is bent or compressed, even in acute angles. The advantage of the LEO PLUS is that ultra-fine sliding braided wires cannot form a jagged prolapse at the convexity or crimp in the concavity when bent at an angle.Download the Leo + brochure.
Flow dependant braided micro catheter
BALT SONIC maintains the qualities of the Magic catheter with a strong resistance to pressure and total DMSO compatibility. What is more, the SONIC is equipped with the patented system "FuseCath", which allows its distal part to be detached should it get trapped in the embolisation product.Download the SONIC brochure.

Sometimes you'll want to programatically generate deposit addresses. Importantly deposit addresses can be generated completely offline. While it's unfortunately not standardized like bip32 it's a pretty straight forward process (and in-fact simpler than bip32).
So the first thing we need is the
fundingPublicKey, this is the servers public key. Our goal is to send the bitcoin in such a way that it can be spent by spent by the server (using the corresponding private key) but also in a way that the server can know who was responsible for sending the bitcoin. The
fundingPublicKey is just a constant, which is available from the hookedin-lib (if you choose to use it)
Result: "pubmp1q0aw9t2lz4hmw3pmxsde437uj9e245h87lf7ss9h7kqla3qwwhpf5hk69pg"
Or more standardly, in compressed format:
Result: "03fae2ad5f156fb7443b341b9ac7dc9172aad2e7f7d3e840b7f581fec40e75c29a"
Next we're going to want to generate a (secp256k1) keypair to use as the basis for generating all our deposit addresses. This will function as the spiritual equivalent to an
xpub in bip32. The moneypot wallet exposes its address generator public key, so it makes it easy to generate (and check) you're generating compatible addresses.
In this example we will be using the address generator (public key)
pubmp1q2rvlx8p37k4np4uf8yltmr95m622a9h7m37vvtjxfc2gc4hrysxz4l9q3x, which in compressed format is:
Result: "0286cf98e18fad5986bc49c9f5ec65a6f4a574b7f6e3e631723270a462b7192061"
Note: You don't need the private key of the
Address Generator to generate deposits addresses. But without it, you'll be unable to claim the funds deposited to it. So you probably want to make sure you have it safely backed up.
We now want to offset the
Address Generator public key by an
index. The index represents which number deposit address we're generating. The most obvious way of deriving from the
Address Generator would be using a simple ECC addition
addressGenerator + index*G. This would work perfectly fine, but it has some very undesirable properties (namely someone can use the result of the derivation to derive all your deposit addresses). So we want an operator more akin to:
addressGenerator + hash(concat(index, addressGenerator))*G.
This functionality is packaged up in the moneypot library as
.derive function on a PublicKey. (TODO: link to impl detail). This works on arbitrary sized integers (and buffers). You can even try really big numbers like:
So to derive our sample public key with the index 0 we get:
Result: "pubmp1qv7tcsxhhf5jputh79rhrhv6h3palw86wfxxdkhrvv9pmfdwk29jcry9ynt"
Note: you don't necessarily have to derive by
purpose, we will however do so in the spirit of continuity.
What need to convert our
derivedPublicKey into a scalar, so we can add it to
fundingPublicKey. For this we're going to use:
hmacsha256('tweak', derivedPublicKey) then multiply it by the eliptic curve generator
G and add it fundingPublicKey. With the resultant public key, we can convert it to a bitcoin (native segwit) address in the usual way (sha256 it, then rmd160 it, prepend 0 and convert to bech32). hookedin-lib provides convience functions for these operations. ECC addition is the
.tweak method on a public key, and
.toBitcoinAddress() will turn it into a bitcoin address (string). So putting everything together:
Result: "tb1q69vm9fpkxlggntvhxeycskzzkn8q78c479709p"
Remember you can edit the code (and run). So try increasing the index, and you'll get different addresses.
If you use the above fundingPublicKey together with the same claimantGenerator (which derived from the following mnemonic)
sugar subject wreck bitter comfort old robust suggest flight grant shiver theme ladder jump mixture index record dry depart nut invite cart action settle, it should generate the same address as the above example
tb1q69vm9fpkxlggntvhxeycskzzkn8q78c479709p on

A couple of weeks ago Alexa moved in. And to be completely honest, I didn't really have high expectations. I've always been a voice control skeptic, and the launch of Siri, Alexa and the slightly-more-boring-named Google Assistant didn't change much for me.
Category: General
To travel, or not to travel, that is the question. Throughout my career, traveling has always been part of the job. But it's also something that always seems to be questioned. For good reasons. Traveling quickly turns into a black hole of expenses and wasted time.
In the midst of a period of extensive traveling, I've spent some time thinking about the value of it. About the value of "being there", of meeting people face-to-face.
Inbox zero was introduced by Merlin Mann already back in 2007. But as time spent emailing hasn't exactly decreased, it should still be relevant right?
Me and many others keep pointing out that prioritizing is key for any product manager (as well as most other people). Spending more time than necessary sorting through your inbox is definitely not the way to go. It just adds to the stress of constantly juggling tasks and priorities. So while not new, is inbox zero perhaps the solution to reduce your stress level?
The value of taking time off
Just back in the saddle after the holidays I've reflected on the value of taking time off.
I my self was neck deep in work before I took a break for the holidays. Like many others I then thought to myself, do I have time for time off? There are just so many things that needed to be done. With deadlines ranging from yesterday to tomorrow. But in the end I took that time off, and it came with a bunch of advantages.
Welcome to Arctic Product!
First of all a warm welcome to Arctic Product, and thank you for swinging by!
My name is Alexander Sandstrom, and have founded Arctic Product because I truly love working with products, and want to share ideas, experiences, thoughts and create a dialogue. I currently work as a product manager, but have over the years experienced most tasks in a product oriented company. When I grew up I didn't know I wanted to become a product manager. I didn't even know I wanted to work with products. What I did know was that I enjoyed new technologies and new gadgets.
Over the years I've played around with new tech, written code, documented requirements, verified and integrated products and solutions, developed technical, portfolio and go-to-market strategies, sold and marketed to customers and much more. All of this has made me passionate about product oriented business. A passion I hope to share with you through Arctic Product.

Thief/Bandit/Brigrand statsEdit
Does anyone have stats for the Thief/Bandit/Brigrand "monsters"? It should probably be mentioned in this article. --Eldarone 04:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- I can do that by looking at GameFAQS like I have done for all the monster line articles. "Thief" might not be the best title for the article, however, if it covers three types of enemies like a monster line article. Perhaps it should be moved to Thief enemy line? Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 20:09, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- As long it's just a simple name change, sure. --Eldarone 03:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Images Edit
Why don't we have images for these guys? Tzion 20:05, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- I see I overlooked this page for making images. I'll have them on there when I rewrite the page in the future. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 20:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Yay, I get to use my new Template.Zabbeth 20:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Happy Friday friends. The weather is gorgeous here in Vancouver, and I am revelling in the promise of a beautiful weekend.
For today's card, I grabbed some patterned paper from long discontinued collections, stamps from ages ago, and created an any occasion card that is soft and romantic. I absolutely LOVE how the watercolour flowers turned out. I decided to paint them using the no-line watercolour technique, and I purposely added the yellow centres while the grey watercolour was still wet so that the colours would flow together... Be still my heart!
I also realized through this project that Pumice Stone Distress ink is perfect to colour flowers that I want to read as white/cream... because, as they age, that colour of flower often turns grey/brown. This particular shade of grey looked fantastic and is one I'll be reaching for again and again.
I hope that wherever you are you have a great weekend - perhaps with a bit of creative time mixed in.
Stamps: Natural Beauty by Stampin' Up!, Avignon by 7gypsies
Dies: Lovely Little Border by Heffy Doodle
Inks: Twilight by Cathrine Pooler
Distress ink markers: Pumice Stone, Wild honey, Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn by Ranger
Cardstock: Solar White by Neenah (as my card base), Mustard by Hero Arts, Ranger Watercolor paper
Patterned paper: Vintage Bliss by Simple Stories, Follow your Heart by My Mind's Eye
Other: Watercolor brushes, MISTI Stamp positioner (large or small, either will work for cards), Die Cutting machine, Water Mist bottle Ranger or Hero Arts, sewing machine and white thread
