Ace's Sacramento Retail Support Center receives $10,000 grant from Placer County
Ace Hardware Corporation is testing pallet trucks powered by zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cells at its Sacramento Retail Support Center, one of 14 distribution centers in the U.S. for the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the home improvement industry. As a result, Ace's Sacramento facility, which is located in Placer County's Sunset Industrial Area, near Rocklin, Calif., is receiving a $10,000 grant from Placer County Air Pollution District to help fund additional testing in the future.
Placer County District 2 Supervisor Robert Weygandt, who represents the Sunset Industrial Area, also serves on the Board of the Air Pollution Control District and as Vice Chairman of the Placer County Economic Development Board. "The county is proud to have Ace Hardware as part of our Sunset Industrial Area. This retail support center provides 325 good jobs, demonstrates leadership by exploring this new, environmentally-friendly technology and in the process contributes to our high quality of life. We are very pleased to see Ace take this important step."
The initial test, which started in February 2008, consisted of replacing lead-acid batteries, which take about six hours to recharge using electric power, with hydrogen fuel cells – requiring less than three minutes to refill – for six out of the 41 pallet trucks and forklifts at the facility. A hydrogen fuel cell operates safely, cleanly and efficiently, generating clean water as its by-product.
"We're encouraged by the initial findings, and anxious to see the complete test results to determine the viability of expanding the use of this hydrogen fuel cell technology in this and other facilities," said Bill Bauman, vice president of retail support for Ace Hardware. "While there are still many opportunities throughout our company and at retail to be environmentally responsible, Ace continues to look for ways to help the environment, whether it's identifying new sources of energy or offering eco-friendly products to customers."
Bauman also noted the following initiatives already underway at Ace:
· In 2005, Ace began testing biodiesel fuel – an 80/20 mix of vegetable oil and diesel fuel – in several tractors in its Midwestern fleet. Today, Ace uses biodiesel in the entire fleet for its Retail Support Center, located in Princeton, Ill., and has plans to roll it out to several other distribution centers across the country.
· Ace has installed energy-efficient T5 lighting in the majority of its distribution centers. This lighting produces twice the illumination at 50 percent of the energy when compared to the typical metal halide lighting found in most distribution centers.
· Ace Paint, which is the only line of private-label products Ace manufactures, has taken a proactive stance by reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) limits to be well below the national EPA regulation in core paint lines.
· Ace Paint recently achieved ISO 14001 certification for the facility's environmental management systems. ISO 14001 is a system designed to help communities and other types of organizations meet their environmental obligations and reduce the impact of their operations on the environment.
· Ace also developed "Helpful Earth Choices" to help customers identify environmentally-friendly products and sustainable items such as reusable shopping bags, recycling bins, compostable and biodegradable waste bags, 100 percent recycled paper towels, Energy Star lamp holders and under cabinet light fixtures, vacancy sensors, electric or battery-powered mowers and waste-away paint hardener.
Ace's Sacramento Retail Support Center employees 325 individuals and serves more than 425 Ace Hardware stores in Northern and Central California, Nevada, Hawaii, the Pacific Rim, Australia, United Arab Emirates and Asia. The 1,028,000-square-foot facility represents Ace's second largest distribution center in size and volume in the country.About Ace HardwareThroughout its 84-year history, Ace Hardware has been known as the "helpful place" by customers in the communities it serves. In 2007, Ace Hardware was rated "Highest in Customer Satisfaction among Major Home Improvement Stores" by J.D. Power and Associates. With 4,600 hardware, home center and building materials stores generating annual retail sales of more than $12 billion, Ace is the largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative in the industry. Headquartered in Oak Brook, Ill., Ace currently operates 14 distribution centers in the U.S. and one warehouse in Shanghai, China. More information about Ace can be found at www.acehardware.com.
About the Sunset Industrial AreaAce Hardware is a good example of the strong business partners sought by Placer County as it planned the Sunset Industrial Area. Placer County established the SIA to attract new businesses and provide location options for expansion of existing economic activity in a modern industrial and business park setting. Located strategically in unincorporated Placer County between the fastest-growing cities, the SIA is intended to provide area residents with a concentration of varied and high-quality employment opportunities. More than 5,000 employees representing 16 industry sectors and 150 establishments currently work within the SIA, creating a total economic output of nearly $1 billion, which helps to pay for county services for all county residents.

Book synopsis
This is the first book devoted to the multidisciplinary study of feedback. It presents a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the make-or-break factors that determine the efficacy of criticism, praise, and advice. Its sections deal with fundamental processes of feedback; the problems associated with delivering feedback across social divides such as race; feedback in organizational settings; feedback in the helping professions; and feedback in personal relationships. With engaging and accessible contributions from leading scholars in communication, management, and social, clinical, and educational psychology, the editors conclude with an insightful synthesis of the chapters, extracting how-to principles of feedback that apply across environments and circumstances. A landmark in the study of feedback, the book stakes a claim for the recognition of the topic as a field of enquiry in its own right. Feedback will appeal to scholars and practitioners as a comprehensive review of the state of play in this field; it is also appropriate for use as a text for students in a range of disciplines including communication, psychology, management, health sciences, and counseling.

New details in a military training exercise that took a deadly turn.We are learning one of the eight Marines killed in the explosion at an army depot in Nevada is from Central Pennsylvania.Our sister station WTAJ has confirmed one of the victims was 19-year-old Josh Martino of Dubois.That's northwest of State College.Family members say he was trying to come home for Easter.Authorities say the explosion was caused by a sixty-millimeter mortar. At least seven other Marines were hurt.
RENO, Nev. An explosion at the Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada late Monday killed seven Marines and injured several more from a North Carolina unit, the Marine Corps confirmed in a statement.
Officials say it was a Marine Corps training exercise accident that occurred around 10 p.m. local time, and involved servicemen from the 2nd Marine Division. The Marines were practicing firing mortars, reports CBS affiliate KTVN-TV in Reno, when one of the rounds exploded still inside the tube.
The Marines from North Carolina were training at the military facility near the small desert community of Hawthorne, about 140 miles southeast of Reno, because the train and altitude were similar to Afghanistan.
"We send our prayers and condolences to the families of Marines involved in this tragic incident. We remain focused on ensuring that they are supported through this difficult time," said Maj. Gen. Raymond C. Fox, II MEF commanding general, in a statement to the press. "We mourn their loss, and it is with heavy hearts we remember their courage and sacrifice."
The Marine Corps said it is withholding the identities of those killed until next of kin notification. The status of those injured has not been provided yet.
The Hawthorne Army Depot stores and disposes of ammunition. The facility is made up of hundreds of buildings spread over more than 230 square miles.
Hawthorne has held an important place in American military history since World War II when it became the staging area for ammunition, bombs and rockets for the war. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection says that the depot employed more than 5,500 people at its peak. Nevada was chosen for the location because of its remoteness in the wake of a devastating explosion at the government's main depot in New Jersey in the 1920s.
It opened in September 1930 as the Naval Ammunition Depot Hawthorne, was redesignated Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant in 1977 when it moved under the control of the Army, according to its website. In 1994, the site ended its production mission and became Hawthorne Army Depot. The site currently serves several purposes for the military, including storing ammunition and explosives and providing what the military calls an ideal training facility for special forces preparing for deployments to similar desert terrain in places like Afghanistan.

Beer, Wine & Spirits in South Lake Tahoe
Recommended Beer, Wine & Spirits by Groupon Customers
The Sierra Nevada foothills have been tilled since the time of the gold rush, but its thin soil allows only the heartiest grapevines to thrive. But when they grow, the grapes there produce powerful wines full of intense flavors. The staff at Auriga Wine Cellars specialize in reds, which range from the peppery, black cherry notes of their Barbera to a double-gold-award-winning shiraz-and-syrah blend aged for one year in French and American oak. They complement these robust offerings with their small-batch sparkling wine and their sangiovese, which tastes of slightly spicy raspberries and strawberries with a hint of basil, thyme, and sage. They sell their vintages by the bottle, but the shop's wine club delivers bottles to aficionados three times a year, letting them try out new vintages or spend more frustrating evenings trying to squeeze a model ship inside them.
Perry Creek Winery's consistent 90+ point ratings in Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast are due in no small part to the efforts of vintners Garrett Buckland, Stefan Tscheppe, and Scott Johnson. Drawing on cultivating experience in Napa, Austria, and the Sierra Foothills, the winemakers have carefully engineered 40 acres of ideal soil that brims with hand-pruned grape vines. The trio's many varietals embody their distinct heritage, with different wine lineages such as the Altitude 2401 Reserve Series, the strong wines of the Cobra selection, and the estate wines that harness the diversity of the land's grapes. An online store features the winery's choicest merchandise, from current varietals to futures and wearable hats and shirts made entirely of old corks.

How to protect your wp-admin folder when you have a dynamic IP address
Oct 5
How-To Guides 1 Comment
address, bash, blog, change, changing, directory, dynamic, file, folder, hosted, htaccess, ip, linux, mac, osx, page, password, php, protect, restrict, script, secure, security, unix, weblog, wordpress, wp-admin
If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog, I hope that you are thinking about security. The best thing you can do is to use the automatic updates so you always have the current version of WordPress.
One of the most pernicious hacks someone can do to your blog is to access to your wp-admin folder. This folder contains the back-end PHP pages of your site where you control everything and write your posts.
Via your web-host's control panel you might be able to password protect this directory, although that could still be brute forced. An alternative method, which is well documented (see reference links below), is to create a ".htaccess
" file in your wp-admin directory, with which you can limit access to a specific set of IP addresses. E.g. your home IP address and your work IP address. See the references below for links on how to write this.
This method is perfect for locking down and restricting who can access your admin pages without having to go through any sort of manual authentication. I held off doing this for a long time because my ISP assigns dynamic IP addresses, and my Netgear router needs frequent reboots. So my IP address changes a lot, so I'd keep getting locked out of my own blog!
To get around this, I thought of a script I could write to keep my wp-admin's .htaccess file automatically updated! You could even use this if you took your laptop away from home and connected on another network, as your laptop will have your ssh keys installed. Try to stickto using a secure VPN though, just on principal
Sorry, it's a bash script, so if you use Windows you'll be stuck unless you install the cygwin environment and PuTTY. If you use a Mac, I'm sure you can switch on the bash shell.
Without further ado, here's the script:
Note: make sure you have cURL installed first.
#! /bin/bash
# Auto-update .htaccess in http://your-blog/wp-admin/
# Run this from cron on a short interval.
# This will grab your IP address, and then rewrite the
# .htaccess file and use scp to upload to your server.

cd ~
# Grab your external IP address.
ip="$(curl www.whatismyip.org)"
ip="$(curl -s checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//')"
# Write the file.
echo "AuthUserFile /dev/null" > htacc.txt
echo "AuthGroupFile /dev/null" >> htacc.txt
echo -e "AuthName \042Limit wp-admin access\042" >> htacc.txt
echo "AuthType Basic" >> htacc.txt
echo "<LIMIT GET>" >> htacc.txt
echo "order deny,allow" >> htacc.txt
echo "deny from all" >> htacc.txt
echo "# Whitelist home router" >> htacc.txt
echo "allow from "$ip >> htacc.txt
echo "</LIMIT>" >> htacc.txt
# Copy to server
scp htacc.txt [YOUR SSH LOGIN HERE]:"~/www/wp-admin/.htaccess"
# Clean up
rm htacc.txt

), remember to make it executable by typing chmod +x htaccessupdate.sh

Using Religion to Discriminate
With increasing frequency, individuals and institutions are attempting to claim a right to refuse to provide services or care based on religious objections. For instance, religiously affiliated hospitals could refuse to perform medically necessary abortions for pregnant women in life-threatening situations, or a landlord could refuse to rent to a family simply because they are Muslim. Through litigation, advocacy and public education, the ACLU works to defend religious liberty and protect people of all faiths from religious discrimination. Learn more >>

(note for QC residents)
Ultimate mud machine
Starting at: $11,499
The new air box was reconfigured and placed at a higher and more centralized location for filtering and processing air. The no-tools air box features a dual-room design that improves the air filtration process and the quality of air by capturing dirty air in one portion of the box and clean air in another section before it sends the air to the engine. Along with the relocated air box the air intake is also higher in the frame to improve the machine's capabilities in the mud and water. Accessing the filter for maintenance and inspection only requires the removal of the seat, console plastic and exterior push plate. The air filter is securely attached to the air box housing with a screw-on system and push plate that work in tandem to create a tight seal.
Revised for 2013, the 650cc liquid-cooled Rotax V-Twin powerplant now produces 62 horsepower and can easily outperform competitive 700cc-class models. With an unmatched power-to-weight ratio and electronic fuel injection (46mm throttle body), the single overhead cam engine is efficient, imposing and invigorating. Regardless of temperature or altitude, EFI ensures optimal performance from the engine at all times. The Rotax engine remains controllable and offers usable power for a wide array of riders and situations. Progressive throttle control means the power remains manageable in slow-speed mud crawls or in faster paced trail runs.
The front uses large 214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. At the rear, the models use a single twin-piston caliper and 214mm hydraulic disc brake that is located in the right, rear wheel.
With a dive-control geometry for better cornering and vehicle-braking dynamics. Our Double A-arm front suspension uses a shortened spindle to reduce kickback and deliver better steering feel. The 9 in. (22.9 cm) of suspension travel increases trail comfort and mud-riding capability.
Unique to Can-Am and inspired by trophy trucks, the proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension offers increased rigidity, improved suspension travel at 9.3 inches (23.6 cm) and includes a removable external sway bar. The TTI, which offers up to 75 percent less moving parts than competitive systems, was designed to eliminate tire scrub and camber changes when the suspension moves up and down. This setup, which improves ride quality and suspension travel, keeps the ATV in a straight line and requires less steering adjustments than competitive models. Lower pivot points provide geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground.
The Outlander offers a 1,300-pound towing capacity and a 2-inch receiver hitch as standard equipment.
The high-strength skid plate is made from proven materials and is designed for supreme protection and has the ability to slide over certain obstacles.
Outlander models feature the exclusive D.E.S.S. anti-theft system. The ATV will not start unless a coded microchip in the key matches a code embedded in the engine control module. It means only you can start your vehicle.
Tells the rider everything in one easy glance. The LCD display provides the rider with a speedometer, tachometer (bar graph RPM, bottom bar numerical RPM), odometer, trip and hour meters, diagnostic center, gear position, engine hour meter, 4x4 indicator, temperature and engine lights, fuel gauge, clock and even an auto shut off after 15 minutes.
The Outlander taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.
These aluminum footpegs provide added grip while riding in mud.
Located in place of the front rack, the Can-Am Outlander 650 X mr's radiator is kept out of the mud and wears a protective, vented cover, ensuring all-day rides in the deep goop. The large, efficient radiator offers around 22 kW of cooling capacity.
The center-less design reduces unsprung weight and offers improved strength. Durability was increased in strategic areas while excess material was eliminated in other spots to save weight.
The 28-in. Maxxis Mudzilla∞ 6-ply tires were selected for their exceptional mud-friendly characteristics. Large lugs and an aggressive tread pattern are design to give a maximum traction in the mud and a smooth ride to the next mud hole. Tire offers rim guard for improved wheel protection.
The front bumper is factory installed and covered by a factory warranty. It protects the front plastic and lights of the Outlander 650 X mr and offers a more distinct look.
The Tri-Mode DPS features three rider-selectable modes (MIN, MED and MAX) of steering depending on rider preference. The system is designed to offer less assist at high speed and more assist at low speed. This technology also includes a Direct Link setup that uses advanced magnetic field sensors for faster response to steering input than competitive technology, which then minimizes steering lag. Less kickback and more trail feedback is supplied to the operator because of the 50:1 final gear ratio, which is the largest in the industry. A high-capacity 50-amp motor means the DPS will never fade with heavy use and all DPS-equipped models also come with the Visco-Lok† QE.

Apply to our programs
Deadlines for admission
The Department has a rolling admissions deadline, whereby applications can be considered for the upcoming semester as long as all materials have arrived at least one month prior to the start of the semester. To enough time to process your application, we encourage applications to be complete by 1 February for fall enrollment, and 1 October for spring enrollment. Primary consideration for assistantships is given to applications that are complete by 1 February. Assistantship offers are only made for students beginning in the fall semester; students may begin coursework in the spring and then apply for funding the following fall.
What you need to submit
To apply, click on the link in the box on the right. In addition to basic details about yourself, you will need to submit the following:
- Post-secondary transcripts
Kent State requires official copies of transcripts from all post-secondary schools that you have attended. Even if you transferred, and all credits were transferred from the first institution to another, a transcript from the first school is still required. - Three letters of recommendation
The form can be found here as well as within the online system. If an application needs to be expedited, a scanned PDF may be sent to the grad coordinator, however submission via mail is preferred. - A current resume
- A personal statement
The personal statement should include your current research interests and career goals, along with how enrolling at Kent State will help you meet those goals. It is recommended that the personal statement should be between one and two pages in length. - GRE score (taken within the past six years), and
- A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score. Applicants from the USA, Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), British Commonwealth states of the Caribbean, Ireland, Liberia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are exempt from this requirement.
Application criteria
All applications are evaluated by the Graduate Faculty as a whole, who work to identify those candidates that they feel would best represent an asset to the program. The following criteria are considered:
- The quality of the applicant's academic preparation. Applicants to the MA program must have a Bachelor's degree completed (with exception of those applying to the joint BA/MA program) by the time they enter the MA program. Applicants to the PhD program must have their Master's degree completed by the time they enter the PhD program (with exception of matriculating Kent State students, who have one semester to finish their Master's.) Academic assessment includes:
- Coursework (MA applicant). An applicant's coursework must include at least the equivalent of a minor in geography (24 credit hours). Exceptions may be made for students who major in a closely related interdisciplinary program, especially when aligned with their proposed Masters concentration, and students who major in a related field and come from institutions without a geography program. Applicants who do not meet these criteria may still be admitted conditionally, and required to make up undergraduate coursework as determined by the graduate faculty.
- Coursework (PhD applicant). The applicant's master's degree must be in geography or a closely related discipline. Students with master's degrees in other disciplines may be conditionally admitted. Any deficiencies in a student's background must be made up by course work or independent study verified by an examination with a grade of B or better. Exceptions may be made for students who major in a closely related interdisciplinary program, especially when aligned with their proposed Doctoral concentration, and students who major in a related field and come from institutions without a geography program. Applicants who do not meet these criteria may still be admitted conditionally, and required to make up undergraduate coursework as determined by the graduate faculty.
- Grades. A minimum of 2.75 (out of 4) overall grade point average (GPA) in is required. A GPA of 3.0 or greater is strongly recommended for undergraduate coursework; applicants with a GPA between 2.75 and 3.0 may be conditionally admitted. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in geography (or related) coursework. For PhD applicants, a graduate-level GPA of 3.3 or greater is strongly recommended; applicants below this level may be conditionally admitted.
- GRE score. Applicants are recommended to have a minimum GRE of 1000 (summing verbal and quantitative scores).
- For students that are required to take the TOEFL, the university-designated minimum acceptable scores are 197 on the computerized version, 71 on the Internet based version, or a MELAB score of 77.
- Clarity of expressed research interests, and their compatibility with faculty research. For PhD students, at least two faculty members must be willing to serve as an applicant's advisor.
- Strength of recommendation letters.
Matriculation for current MA students
Students that are currently enrolled in Kent State's MA program in geography do not need to file a full application in order to be considered for the PhD program. Rather, the matriculation process is presently conducted within the department. An interested student should obtain a matriculation form from the Department Office, and submit it to the graduate coordinator, along with:
- A copy of your Kent State transcript,
- Two letters of recommendation, and
- A new statement of research interests (with recommended length of 1 to 2 pages).
All applications are evaluated by the Graduate Faculty as a whole, utilizing the same criteria described above.
If you have any questions regarding applying to the graduate program, please contact Dr. Scott Sheridan (firstname.lastname@example.com), the graduate coordinator.

Mercy Relief's International Programme focuses on disaster relief, emergency preparedness and risk mitigation for crisis-stricken and disaster-prone communities, and sustainable development initiatives for poor and disadvantaged communities in Asia focusing on healthcare, water and sanitation, education, shelter and sustainable livelihoods. MR's humanitarian action is guided by the four principles of engagement to uphold humanity, maintain impartiality, neutrality and respect the sovereignty of the state.
Natural disasters are inevitable, and they often occur with little or no notice. Cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons are all forces of nature. Environment abuse has led to the increase of natural disasters.
The right strategy of partnership with local and international organisations makes it possible for Mercy Relief to deliver aid in a timely and effective manner.
Timeliness of aid is key to any acute crisis so as to prevent further damage or loss of lives. Mercy Relief strives to reach the affected areas within 72 hours from the occurrence of the disaster in the region, focusing primarily on the provision of medical relief and other basic needs to the survivors.
The decision to respond hinges primarily on appeals for assistance made by the national, provincial or local governments of the affected areas, or on appeals by the United Nations on behalf of the affected country or countries. This is in line with the general philosophy of respecting the sovereignty of the affected state/s.
Mercy Relief's modus operandi for emergency relief operations is encompassed by three phases:
The Acute Relief Phase A primary response team will evaluate first-hand the situation, and attend to the basic needs for survival of the victims such as food, water and shelter and medical needs at the affected areas. The appropriate relief operations are then developed and implemented accordingly.
The Rehabilitation Phase Rehabilitation efforts usually commence as soon as the ground conditions stabilise. Mercy Relief provides system tents as temporary shelters for classes to be resumed, such that the child victims have platforms to socialise, learn and play with their peers. This allows for the diversion of their minds from the trauma, and is a subtle method of psychological rehabilitation.
This is also the time where the local authorities and the humanitarian community discuss and decide on the reconstruction plans.
The Reconstruction Phase Mercy Relief's reconstruction philosophy is to help put the victims' derailed lives back on track to normalcy, through the provision of schools, orphanages, medical facilities, public amenities (e.g. bridges) and livelihood opportunities (e.g. fishing vessels), including disaster preparedness and mitigation programme for disaster-prone communities.
Mercy Relief's reconstruction philosophy is to help put the victims' derailed lives back on track to normalcy, through the provision of schools, orphanages, medical facilities, public amenities (e.g. bridges) and livelihood opportunities (e.g. fishing vessels), including disaster preparedness and mitigation programme for disaster-prone communities.
Creating or enabling access to better education is often one of the most effective ways to combat chronic poverty. Improving educational infrastructures, building better and more effective educational resources, enabling children from impoverished families to go back to schools or to continue education, and enhancing teachers' skills and knowledge are all possible areas for intervention.
Lack of access to decent healthcare poses a major obstacle to overcoming poverty. Enhancing healthcare infrastructures and systems, reducing the risks and burden of disease, and strengthening skills and knowledge of healthcare workers can improve life expectancy and the quality of life.
The under-management of social issues like improper water use and sanitation, hygiene practices, and limited healthcare awareness, mostly due to the lack of funds, has led to the lack of knowledge and understanding on health issues such as diseases at both disaster-stricken and poverty-stricken areas.
Shelter is critical for survival as it provides security, personal safety, protection from the elements and enhanced resistance to ill health and disease. A proper habitat sets the foundation to an environment of normalcy.
Livelihood programme is necessary to ensure communities are self-reliant, resilient to future disasters, and empowered to manage their lives in a sustainable manner while protecting the environment that they are in.
Peacetime is when trust and confidence can and should be built to ensure that when a disaster strikes, there is greater chance of reducing the suffering and further loss of lives because timely and necessary assistance can be accessed and implemented based on the relationships built. Risk reduction is often seen in physical, technological, structural and environmental terms. Risk reduction strategy must also take into account capacity building, community development and poverty alleviation – all of which is about enabling people to help themselves, to build their own risk reduction methods.
Since 2008, Mercy Relief has embarked on longer-term and sustainable development projects in Indoneisa, China, the Philippines and Vietnam aimed at uplifting the lives of impoverished, disadvantaged and rural communities in these countries.
Mercy Relief's Development projects complement its Emergency Relief operations as communities which are better developed and resourced are able to respond better to crises, including natural disasters. This is the essence of disaster risk reduction. The emphasis is on capacity building, inculcating self-reliance and sustainability, and empowering beneficiaries to transform their environment for a better quality of life.
It is imperative for humanitarian implementors to understand the primary needs and outlook of rural and affected communities. The five focus areas of water & sanitation, shelter, livelihood, healthcare and education are intimately connected, hence the need to address them in a holistic fashion.
Immediate and tangible benefits appeal greater to these communities. However, Mercy Relief's emphasis is on gradual, objective and comprehensive communal needs over immediate and subjective personal wants.
Water is life. Access to adequate safe water for consumption and livelihoods is key to any community's development. Effective sanitation systems and sound hygiene cultures are vital to reducing the burden of diseases and environmental health risks. Properly processed waste can be used as alternative energy (biogas) or nourishment (fertiliser) for agricultural produce.

There's a reason they're called wild dogs. Just watch them in action jumping, biting, play fighting with each other and the first thing you think is,"These guy are wild dogs." Then when they go on the hunt their relentless full on pursuit of their prey further cements that reputation. But those same characteristics that some call wild, have made these dogs one of the most successful predators in Africa. When they go after an animal, it's estimated they come home with a meal about 80% of the time.
I was in Sabi Sabi Game Reserve in South Africa where I spent a couple of days with a large pack of wild dogs and filmed the pups as they put on quite a show with their exuberant play. The adults would go off hunting every day and then return to regurgitate a hot meal for the kids. It's not a recipe you'll find in the Martha Stewart cookbook.
More recently i was in Zimbabwe at the Singita Pamushana Lodge in the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve where I filmed a much smaller pack of wild dogs. Kim Wolhuter, an old friend and filmmaker who's made several films for National Geographic, has been living on the property for several years and following the wild dogs. We hooked up with Kim who drove us to where the dogs were eating an impala they had killed a few minutes earlier.
Kim, whose father and grandfather were both game rangers in South Africa, has spent most of his life in the bush, so it should have been no surprise to learn he often gets out of his vehicle and runs with the dogs, crashing through the trees and bushes with them when they go on the hunt. Still it's pretty amazing when you think about it, and it does allow him to capture the kind of footafge you won't see elsewhere.
I interviewed Kim for my radio show National Geographic Weekend while we were together with the wild dogs. That interview is now up online at national geographic weekend, or as a free podcast on itunes. Wild dogs are now endangered and Kim's films are helping draw attention to the crisis they face. In this video you can hear part of the interview and see the dogs Kim has been following as well as the ones I filmed playing and jumping around at Sabi Sabi in South Africa.

Miss Hale asks: What is with the ____shire business in Austen novels? When they redacted the name?
Mrs. Fitzpatrick answers: Miss Hale, there's not very much, if any, solid information on this point, though plenty of idle speculation. A similar question about Jane Eyre on Askville came up with the ideas that it was done to protect people's privacy, or to protect the author from looking silly by people saying "There's no Blankshire Street in Fayetteville!", which you know they would. One Wessex resident posited that her island was so small that people would know where any town or factory was or wasn't. Actually, I think that's more likely a problem today with Ye Olde Worlde Wide Webbe than it was in days when people didn't get about so much.
Cliff Notes (yes, yes) speculates that by using blank spaces, Jane Austen's readers could add whatever names they wanted for a personalized story, but apart from the very un-Austen-like quality of this idea, a quick flip through the Austen novels shows that Jane was actually pretty specific about her places. She gives real counties where her action takes place, and uses real cities and towns like London, Exeter, and Bath. She'll even say things like "the village was 16 miles from London," and the street the Gardiners live on in Pride and Prejudice, Gracechurch Street, is a real street. (See above.) I've always assumed the villages themselves where her heroines live are made up, and a quick search on Google Maps doesn't give any likely results.
The only names she blanked, as far as I can tell—feel free to correct me, alert readers!—were the names of towns where people changed horses on journeys and the names of regiments in the army. I can see blanking the names of pit stops as an I-don't-know-and-I-don't-care measure. (Quick! If you're traveling by bus from Washington, DC, to San Francisco, where are your stopovers? No Internet allowed!) As for the names of regiments, that was likely to make sure she wasn't accusing the fine gentlemen of any particular regiment of misconduct. But it's also a historic and still-used way of referring to British regiments. In this context I would just like to point out that if you want to design a website for the Blankshires, here is your assignment. (Fans of Blackadder will especially appreciate this link, and I think it's for real.) These days Blankshire seems to be a common way to refer to a generic county, similar to "Main Street, USA."
So, Miss Hale, there you have it. Miss Austen didn't do nearly as much blanking as other people did back then, though she did make stuff up. There's even one real name I've always been amused that she used, and that's Churchill. In Emma she describes Frank Churchill as coming from "a great Yorkshire family." I wonder if she knew about the Churchills of Blenheim Palace, who were important in her day, though they didn't come from Yorkshire. She couldn't have known about Sir Winston Churchill, of course, and I like to speculate that he's a descendant of Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax. You never know.

A preview of the new spring menu at DOA.
Dirty Oscar's Annex has had a lot of air time here at GCF in part because they're so nice about inviting us to classy events such as this one (pinkie out), but it's mostly due to their constantly evolving menu of fresh and unique dishes. The competition on 6th is intense with other fine eats like Crown bar and Asado (the finest menu on 6th will probably always belong to Marrow however), but Chef Aaron is doing his best to push his to new heights, and is firmly ahead of the bulk of those competitors.
A couple weeks ago we were invited, along with a number of other local media personalities, to a preview of the spring menu. The abbreviated menu showcased a number of bright and tangy vinegar-based dishes that are a very welcome springtime departure from the heavy and appropriately greasy bulk of the winter menu. It's as if we've emerged from hibernation to find ourselves some spring fruits and flowers…served alongside a crisp IPA.

Stages of Grief
by Serena Burla on May 9, 2013
Several years ago I was struggling through a track workout when a good friend of mine, Tim, started saying things to me during the workout that were kind of out of character for him. I remember feeling sorry for myself for an interval, getting really mad on another, and eventually finishing on a much better note. As we talked while I stretched he told me he saw me losing the workout and used the stages of grief to try and push me through. He said his thought process was, the faster I got to acceptance stage the more successful my workout would become. I bring t...

I find myself running the wrong way from the starting line when the gun goes off. I am frantically trotting with one foot in my Mizuno Wave Ronins and the other in my Nirvanas. I am not even sure if they are tied. Somehow I catch up to the field only to find myself running through a stairwell. My legs get so tired that I have to pull myself up with a rope, andseveral times I stop to talk to people I have never seen before. Even though I am going up stairs I eventually find myself on a grassy field. Huh? I open my eyes briefly, shake it off, and realize it was a...
Preparing for Boston
by Serena Burla on February 26, 2013
I like to think that I'm in the heart of my marathon training build up for Boston right now. I'm at the point where volume and intensity collide, where recovery in all aspects is critical. Nutrition, hydration, sleep, stretching, ice, massage, communication with my coach, and conserving mental energy have never been more important. I admit that the number of times per day I give thanks for my health and pray for continued health has increased. My grocery bills have doubled due to increased need to refuel and I think my favorite baker gave me that, &...
A Runner's Brain Inspired by the Children's Book, Never Take A Shark To The Dentist
by Serena Burla on January 17, 2013
The other day my son Boyd (now 4 years old) and I went to the library and checked out our weekly pile of books including some old favorites and some never reads. We always check out more than we can carry and get an extra weight workout in during this process. Children's books are one of my guilty pleasures. I love reading books to kids (especially Boyd), because I can then listen to their insightful comments and predictions. I also find the level of imagination required by the authors and illustrators to be very interesting. I have always loved ...
The Expected and The Unexpected
by Serena Burla on November 30, 2012
In my New York marathon build up I played out hundreds of race scenarios in my mind, played the marathon version of "what would I do if…" with my coach on countless occasions, and trained to be able to respond to these numerous race situations. With that said, I was also prepared to expect the unexpected. My coach warned me that in any given marathon, there will be at least one moment where something happens that I did not plan for, expect, or see coming. So, as I banged on his door in New York and with wide eyes and questioned, "Is the marathon re...

Was 17-month-old Ella Vanleeuwen's death a homicide or accident? Lawyers for both sides in the Megan Martzen trial grilled a forensic pathologist for an answer and explanation. Michael Chambliss took the stand. He said, "Those injuries are still unexplained, so they stay in the category of a homicide, unexplained."
But the defense was quick to try and challenge Chambliss' claim and reminded him of his testimony four years ago. Back in April 2009, Chambliss said he believed Ella's death was accidental. He took that statement back, Wednesday.
Chambliss examined injuries to Ella's chest, ribs, abdomen and head. The 17-month-old girl died in 2009 while in the care of Martzen. Prosecutors are accusing her of beating and killing Ella.
The defense claims Ella accidentally fell off a bed. They say evidence shows a number of prior injuries, including the fall led to Ella's death.
The pathologist suggested a sitting child cannot receive fatal injuries from falling off a bed onto padded carpeting. Chambliss said he also couldn't explain the serious bruises in the back of Ella's head and they appeared older than the ones Martzen claims Ella received from falling off a bed. Chambliss also said he didn't have anything to indicate a weapon was used on Ella.
Martzen remains free after posting $2 million bail.

"Coil Leak @ Less Than 3 Years"
Am so disappointed in Trane quality. New system has a coil leak after less than 3 years. $1,200 repair bill totally out of my pocket. I chose Trane brand because I believed the high quality reputation. I sure wish I'd read reviews on this site before. I now believe that perceived Trane quality is no longer supported by current-day Trane hardware.

"Trane is Really Junk"
Like others writing these reviews, I was optimistic when I purchased the top of the line Trane unit just 4 1/2 years ago. I can not tell you enough how disappointed I am in the reliability and serviceability of this unit. After slightly over 4 years, I have no fewer than 6 service calls. The most recent this weekend, when the service tech advised me that the expansion valve (a new type) is shot and will have to be replaced. He suggested the condensor should be replaced also, since they are known to fail regularly. The expansion valve - over $1,000 alone. This is a rediculous price for an expansion valve, even the techs say so. This repair along (not counting the previous ones) will likely put me over midway to replacement costs - after 4 1/2 years. Needless to say, if someone recommends a Trane unit, run from them. Trane has reached a new low in quality and servicability of their home units. Pay a premium like I did, if you wish. The landfill will will appreciate your contribution in just a few short years.

"New A/C - No Air for 8 days and counting"
We installed a new Trane hvac system in 2010. This summer our a/c broke during one of the hottest weeks on record. The service team came out to fix it under warranty. They needed to order a blower motor. It was going to cost me $50 to overnight the part. Since the team did not arrive until 4:30pm on Monday, the part could not actually be overnighted, it arrived on Wed afternoon. The team arrived again to try to install it even though they were not sent the brackets that were need to install it correctly. The blower could not be attached. After a week without a/c I am still waiting for brackets. I don't knwo where trane gets these brackets, but they need to learn how touse overnight. a 2 year old a/c system should not be out for 8 days and counting.

"XR 13 Crap"
My 4 year old (2008) trane xr-13 broke down this Spring. The technician came over and found a leak at the evaporator coil by the furnace. The coil is aluminum and there is a pinhole leak in one of the protruding tubes. Things like this which are not subject to outside elements and which appear brand new should not have broken down so quickly. Fortunately I have a home warranty plan with my mortgage that I totally forgot I was paying $15 a month for which covers the cost of this otherwise prohibitively expensive repair job. DEAR TRANE: PARTS THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO OUTDOOR ELEMENTS AND WHICH DO NOT MOVE AND WHICH APPEAR BRAND NEW WITH NO VISIBLE CORROSION AND WHICH ARE ONLY 4 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT BREAK DOWN. Also, the technician was saying how the aluminum coil was not a common material used for AC evap coils and that they are apparently are not suitable to weld for an easy repair. I don't know if this is true, but I'm glad I'm not paying for this repair.

"Want To 'Stop A Trane'? Just Own One For Four Years"
(A slightly modified version of the following story was submitted to trane via their web site in the customer service section. That was over a week ago; to date, no response of any kind has been received. I have to admit, after my experience with their product, I am unsurprised) ---------------- I bought my home in a suburb of Atlanta in 2003. It was built in 1992, which means I came in just about the time some major upkeep items needed to be done on the house. Along with the roof, the most expensive of these was the HVAC system. Since I moved here from California, I was unfamiliar with AC units - it just doesn't get hot and humid enough in most of CA to require residential air conditioning. So I did some research, and every source I found said Trane was the way to go. In fact, as I typed this, the company slogan "It's hard to stop a TRANE" sat in the sidebar of my web browser, under their logo. Because when I initially went looking at HVAC systems, nearly every source I found pointed me in the direction of TRANE products, I went through Home Depot, and had Universal (their subcontractor for this type of work in the Atlanta area) install an XR 13 system in my downstairs (main floor) in late 2008. Yesterday, it stopped working completely. Apparently, it is not at ALL hard to stop a TRANE; all it takes to stop one is to OWN one and use it normally for less than four years. THIS is the "best in the business?" I sure hope not. What's amusing - if anything - about all of this is that I didn't notice immediately that my downstairs AC had stopped functioning because the blower in my now nearly 20-year old Lennox furnace (to which the TRANE AC compressor outside is attached) was still merrily pumping air throughout my main floor. So it wasn't as if there was no air circulation at all. In fact, when I first noticed that it felt hotter in the house than I expected, I noticed that the vent was still blowing air, so I just assumed I was feeling hot for some reason. It wasn't until much later in the day when the temperature continued to rise that I realized that the outside Trane compressor had stopped working completely. Think about that for a moment: a builder-grade furnace that's nearly 20 years old is working just fine, while the expensive "best in the business" TRANE AC compressor, sits inoperative in the yard, like a $2,000 brick. I found the telephone number for Universal and called them. They told me it would be more than 24 hours before they could even get a tech out here to diagnose the problem. When the tech arrived late this afternoon, he spent the better part of two hours diagnosing the problem -- though he appeared to spend about half of that time on his cell phone (I could not tell if it was personal calls or calls to his shop trying to diagnose my system). But eventually, he rang my doorbell and presented me with a bill for over four hundred dollars for labor and parts due to a bad capacitor in the compressor which had apparently in turn burned up the windings on the compressor fan motor. The kicker? When I groused to my Universal tech about how it didn't seem that hard to stop a TRANE, he informed me that my situation wasn't all that unusual; that in fact HIS COMPANY WERE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS -- AND THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM A TECH WHO IS IN THE FIELD EVERY WEEKDAY SERVICING TRANE UNITS -- "ALL OVER GEORGIA, SOMETIMES ON UNITS THAT ARE ONLY THREE YEARS OLD." So: hard to stop a.....oh, BARF. Anyway, if that wasn't already enough, Universal informed me that although they apparently have to fix this problem on your products all the time, they don't actually STOCK the part they need to replace, meaning that I get to sit in Georgia July heat for another day while they order it from the warehouse, before they can install it. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in your product. It seems to cool my house as well as the next AC unit - but at a distinct price premium, and if the supposed "best in the business" breaks after only three-plus years, what I CAN tell you most assuredly is that the next time my HVAC needs replacing, I'll be looking for a firm whose product reliability lives up to their marketing hype...because TRANE sure doesn't.

"Buy another brand"
Purchased this Trane unit six years ago for an addition of about 700 sq. ft. and every other year something has broken and now it is broke again. We are going to replace it. We had a Intertherm for 18 years for a 1500 sq.ft. house with little or no problems. Very unsatisfied with this unit.

"Yes, you CAN stop a TRANE"
Purchased a trane AC/furnace about 7 years ago. As soon as the 5 year warranty was almost up, it needed a repair that cost around $500. Now just 2 years later, the inside coil is leaking and that will cost us $1000.00. We have this unit serviced every year. I feel trane does not stand behind their product, it is poorly manufactured and that their advertising is false..they advertise a product that is indestructible. I would not buy from trane again and would definitely not recommend trane to anyone. We are retired and thought this would carry us through for many years since the unit it basically new. The York unit they took out was still running, 40 years old and had never seen a repair or service person. Go figure!

We purchased a 2 ton Trane XL14c in August of 2009. Every year since, it shuts down when it's very cold or very hot outside. We are having high 90 degree weather (heat index over 100) with no end in sight and this piece of junk goes out again. Our local distributor has been rude to us so many times in the past but this time it takes the cake. It went down four days ago and they informed us the part would take 7-10 days to get here! In the meantime they brought is a 10,000 btu portable unit to use. It only slightly cools 1 room of 6. I have a very bad heart and cough, my wife is not in good health and our little dog has heart problems also...THIS Is not ACCEPTABLE! We even paid cash for the piece of junk! I will never buy another trane!!!

"Trane doesn't live up to its name"
We moved into our facility in April of 2011. Now in June 2012, after many many service calls, our units are no longer under warranty and of course have leaks that need $2800 worth of repairs!! Honestly, you would think that an expensive air conditioner would last a lot longer. I would never, never recommend this product.

"Trane not what it was supposed to be and does not work as guaranteed"
I just replaced my central a/c with a Trane. What a mistake. I wanted a scroll compressor, so specifically asked the salesman if the unit used a scroll compressor. He said it did. I did not want a piston compressor because they have a high pitched whine that starts my ears ringing. You can't find compressor type info at Trane because they don't want to tell you; confusion is their friend in making sales. As it turned out the compressor isn't a scroll. Never mind that for now. The local dealer provides a guarantee that any system they sell you will maintain your house at 75f on a 90f day. Well, I was able to maintain 79f at 90f outside and even in the high 80's and since it was set at 75, the A/c never shut off. I have now filed complaints with them and they will be coming out to look at things. I want my money back.
