By: Bhupinder S. Liddar in Oliver, BC
Nestled in the scenic and stunning rolling dry desert hills and mirror lakes of Okanagan Valley in beautiful British Columbia is the town of Oliver – the wine capital of Canada!
Oliver's population of 5,000 is made up of about 1,000 Sikhs. If one drives along the town's Main Street, one is bound to see a turbaned Sikh or a Sikh lady in Punjabi dress, as well as the Sikh Gurdwara (Sikh place of worship). And as one proceeds through the scenic Okanagan Valley one is struck by the greenery of wineries and fruit orchards, and depending on the time of the summer, one will drive by cherry, peach, apple, and perhaps prune trees all along Highway 97.
Oliver's Mayor Ron Hovanes describes his town as an "authentic farming community." Other than driving along the fruit-tree-lined highway, one can pull into one of the many wineries for tasting, buying, or even a meal.
The Sikhs started migrating and buying orchards and vineyards in Oliver and the Okanagan Valley about three decades ago. Farming is in the Sikh genes. Their ancestral home state of Punjab is the breadbasket of India. Sikhs are also successful farmers in Australia, Kenya, Fiji, among other countries.
The Sikhs bought orchards/vineyards predominantly from the Portuguese, who had migrated here in the 1950s. Mayor Hovanes explains the origins of Oliver are in the irrigation canal built in 1926 under British Columbia Premier John Oliver, after whom the town is named. The intent was to settle returning British veterans of the First World War.
The British migrants were followed by Germans in the 1930s and Hungarians in the 1940s and 1950s. Sikhs own about 70 per cent of orchards and wineries. The average holding is about 10–12 acres, and according to farmer Bhupinder Singh Karwasra, an acre generates an income of about $8,000 to $10,000. Prices of land have doubled or tripled since Sikhs first bought land at $4,000 an acre.
Apart from farming, Sikhs are venturing into other trades and commercial enterprises. Paramjit Singh Chauhan owns and operates East India Meat Shop on Highway 97, down the road from Oliver. Similarly, Surjit Singh Aulakh this month set up a hairdresser shop on Oliver's Main Street.
Oliver-born Baljeet S. Dhaliwal, a graduate of Simon Fraser University, is now a manager at one of BC Tree Fruits packinghouses. Others, such as Toor twin brothers – Randy and Jessie, have set up an 80-acre, state-of-the-art Desert Hills Estate Winery on what was once an apple orchard. They are the second Sikh family to settle in the area, in the footsteps of Major Dhaliwal. The Toor brothers, from Village of Ucha Jattana, immigrated from India to Canada in 1982 and settled in Winnipeg. On the urging of their sister Lucky Gill, who is involved in the hospitality industry, they moved to Oliver in 1988. Randy Toor was elected to one term on Oliver Town council in 2005.
Oliver's major communities – indigenous, Portuguese, Caucasian, and Sikhs live in silos, with little or no informal social interaction other than in schools, shopping centres and workplaces. Mohinder Singh Gill, president of the Sikh Gurdwara, attributes this partly to lack of English speaking skills among Sikhs. For instance, the Sikh seniors meet at the Gurdwara instead of going to the central seniors centre.
The indigenous Osoyoos people, almost all live on a reservation adjoining Oliver.
Punjabi was offered at Oliver High School until recently and the search is on for a Punjabi instructor.
Fortunately, days of ugly racism are almost over, though I was told of schoolyard fights among indigenous, Sikh and white students.
According to Mayor Hovanes, there is "no overt racial tension," and former Town councillor Randy Toor observes there is "very little evidence of racism and it is fading away."
The future looks promising for the Sikh community in Oliver, though many young Sikhs are opting to head to urban areas and into professions other than farming. But for now, most Sikhs make up a dynamic, vibrant and growing community in Oliver and the Okanagan Valley.

Indo-Canadian Voice
Commentary by Bhupinder S. Liddar
Come August 14 and 15, some in the Pakistani and Indian-origin Canadian communities will fly flags and sing national anthems to celebrate independence days of their respective former home lands – ironically, the very countries they left voluntarily to enjoy the Canadian way of life. (A big Indian parade was held in Toronto last weekend.)
The display of flags originated on battlefields to identify warring factions. Though national flags have come a long way from serving this purpose, they are still a potent political symbol of nationalism.
The national anthem, while evoking emotional sentiments, also sings praises of a country. What fascinates and baffles me is that many of these immigrants were not brought here under duress or against their will, but felt strongly about leaving their homelands and heading here of their own accord.
Celebrating St. Patrick's Day, Vaisakhi or Caribana are cultural and religious – not political – events, devoid of evoking dual political loyalty.
Loyalty is the key word here. Singing national anthems and saluting flags of former homelands evokes images of dual loyalty and patriotism.
However, it is not as offensive to see Canadians of Italian or Chilean origins run around waving Italian or Chilean flags during a soccer World Cup match.
Political loyalty
Fortunately, in today's multicultural Canada, one enjoys the luxury and liberty to speak in one's mother tongue, eat one's ethnic cuisine, dress in one's national attire and partake in numerous cultural events. All that the new country expects is that political loyalty be to one flag and one national anthem – that of the adopted country, in this case Canada.
Enjoy your emotional attachment indoors, but do not display it in public.
The problem of divided loyalties has its roots in Canada's British political class. Canada's two political tribes – English and French – imported their historic political and cultural rivalries to the new country, with no regard for the existing Indigenous Peoples.
As a result of English-French battles in the new country, the victorious British-designated Union Jack, flag of the United Kingdom, was adopted as the new Canadian flag. It flew across the country, with no regard to the feelings of French-origin Canadians.
That lasted until the current Maple Leaf was adopted as the official flag in 1965.
Crass vote-getting
Foreign diplomatic missions fly their flags on their office buildings and residences. Foreign national days are celebrated with receptions, hosted by diplomatic missions, on embassy premises or in hotels. Canadians, at large, and those with roots in those countries are invited and appropriately attend these events.
However, it is inappropriate for Canadians to involve themselves in hosting or organizing events to celebrate national days of their former homelands. In 2013, one foreign mission – the Indian Consulate General, in Toronto – went so far as to "sponsor" a public event for Indian diaspora, the "India Day Festival and Grand Parade", to mark India's Independence Day. (A similar event was repeated this year.)
In the 1990's, Ottawa's then mayor began flying the flag of each country that had diplomatic relations with Canada, on their respective national days, at City Hall. He would invite Ottawa residents who were part of that country's diaspora in the capital city to mark the national day of their former homelands.
Unfortunately, this was no more than a crass vote-getting tactic. It eventually backfired, when in September 2014, Vietnamese Canadians held a large protest against flying the flag of Communist Vietnam – the very regime they fled to seek refuge in Canada.
Reasonable expectation
Some may wonder, "What's in a flag"?
Well, after the close defeat of the 1995 referendum on Quebec's desire to separate from Canada, then Deputy Prime Minister and Heritage Minister Sheila Copps, decreed that all Canadian federal government buildings across Canada should fly the Maple Leaf, as a public symbol of federal government presence.
Canada, is a relatively young country, engaged in building Canadian institutions. What Canadians need to do is to effectively contribute to these efforts and desist from displays of split loyalty and patriotism.
As at the Olympic Games, one can stand under only one flag and sing only one national anthem. Hence, the only flag that we need to fly is the Maple Leaf, sing "O Canada", and the only National Day that we need to celebrate is July 1, when in 1867 Canada became a unified country.
It is the least one can expect in return for what Canada offers.

Finland's country image site ThisisFINLAND (finland.fi) has been totally renewed. The new site has an up-to-date look and simpler user experience. The focus for the renewal has been "mobile first", to ensure that the site works seamlessly across all mobile devices. The site supports seven different languages: the master language is English and on top of it finland.fi is published in Russian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese.
– It is important both economically and politically to care about a country's image and especially so in the digital world of today. The new site is a platform, which allows co-operation between all of those doing country image work . Once the site is live, the content creation truly begins, says Petra Theman, the Director for Public Diplomacy.
On the new site the content is created not only by the Public Diplomacy Unit at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs but also other stakeholders doing the country image work. In practice this means that it will be possible to publish news and Social media from, for example, the Visit Finland site or Finnfacts' Good News from Finland site.
ThisisFINLAND serves global target groups and provides a wide selection of articles covering Finnish society, habits, people, companies and culture. An archive of 2000 country articles has been moved from the old site to the new. The site also provides opportunities to get to additional information about more popular general topics about Finland such as travelling around, studying in Finland or investing in Finland. ThisisFINLAND does not publish its own news or press releases but there is a newsfeed of the National Broadcaster YLE. You can also find a live webcam and a real-time weather service there.
There's also a brand new FINLAND Toolbox on the site. This toolbox provides materials and tools to promote Finland for anyone to use, for example Finland related presentations, images, info graphics, videos, e-publications and more. More content will be added to the Toolbox during autumn.

Decoding sleep, mapping quasars: A day in the life of undergraduate scientists
Abby Knecht gets into the lab around 9 a.m. She chats with her colleagues, catches up on recent scientific journals and preps the Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence microscope for her single molecule experiments on DNA transcription.
It's a typical summer morning for many graduate students across the country, except Knecht '15 isn't in graduate school — she is one of dozens of Brandeis University undergraduates who's traded white beaches for white lab coats to work alongside faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows researching epilepsy, mapping quasars, decoding sleep cycles and uncovering the chemical mysteries of cell differentiation. Knecht and her fellow student-scientists are designing research projects and writing research papers for publication with some of the university's most distinguished scientists.
"I really feel like I am treated like a graduate student," says Knecht, who works with Jeff Gelles, the Aron and Imre Tauber Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology. "As an undergrad, I am treated with respect, and I am free to work on my own experiments."
|Student Scientists at SciFest 2014
"I often give my most speculative projects — those with the highest risk and highest reward — to undergraduates," says physics professor Seth Fraden, PhD'87. "These undergraduates often surprise me by finding creative solutions. My lab's two current research tracks, protein crystallization and Turing's chemical basis of morphogenesis, were both started by undergraduates."
July culminates in the annual SciFest, where student-scientists present their research to faculty and peers. This year, 86 students, including 64 Brandeis undergraduates and 21 summer visitors from around the world, presented their research in the sunny lobby of the Carl A. Shapiro Science Center.
Funding for undergraduate research comes from many sources, including the Provost's Undergraduate Research Fund; the Jerome A. Schiff Undergraduate Fellows Program; the Division of Science Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships; the National Science Foundation; the National Institutes of Health, and the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center Research Experience for Undergraduates.
"Working on pioneering research alongside grad students and postdocs gives undergraduates a chance to see what a life of research is really like, and it challenges their imaginations," says Jim Haber, professor of biology and director of the Rosenstiel Basic Medical Sciences Research Center.
Time in the lab is transformative.
"You can't really learn something until you have to do it yourself. I see things that I've learned in biology class every day in the lab," says Adam Jones '15, who spent the summer in professor Michael Rosbash's lab. "I'm more excited about research now than I've ever been."

[Verse 1: D-WHY]
They say that life can be a bitch, so can my main chick
She always keeps it real, ironic that she got fake tits
She like my style, she love the hair, said I remind her of Johnny Cash
D, you be killin' 'em everyday, you should start wearing more black
I'm showin' up, I'm showin' off, she showin' out, I showed her how
I showed her in, I showed her down, now I gotta show her how to slow it down
Got a little purse, got a little dog, got a little attitude, a nice fashion sense
I had to put her in timeout...cause she the baddest bitch
My coffee black, my chick white, that coupe red, that light green
My haters blue, that purple stuff, her pink lips, that brown drink
I let 'em know, then let 'em go, got a weakness for them yellow bones
And if she like her white boys, tell Rihanna please hit up my phone
Y'all can't compete with a young motherfucker
Shout out to your moms, I'm a young motherfucker
A wise man told me, "gotta fake it 'til you make it"
I'm a do like Makavelli, I'm a make it 'til I fake it
[Hook: D-WHY]
Kill me now, I'm so fresh I could die
Hope you feel me now, dressing good, living right
Bury me alive, cause my outfit's suicide
I'm so fresh I could die, man I put that on my life
Kill me now, kill me now, honestly I can't take it
Kill me now, kill me now, it's gon' make me more famous
Kill me now, kill me now, shout out the people that I came with
You should see their faces, look momma I made it, kill me now
[Verse 2: Casey Veggies]
Young ho killa', rockin' chinchilla, swag worth a milli, run the whole city
Built it from the ground, find your sound, cause I got mine and this shit's so fly
I don't even know how I get so high, I'm on my grind and I just rolled by
Geeked up, in the discrete truck, and the trees tucked and my seat up
My feet up, I'm too good, I'm Hollywood, but I'm too hood
She molly wood and she staying up, I'm pulling up and I'm paying up
Walk in the store and ain't saying much, don't talk to her if she playing up
I drop her off at the metro bus, and beat it up like a metronome
In a special zone that won't break, like a special homie that won't hate
She feel me now, you can kill me now, when I was younger I was a special child
Now I'm older and I'm bolder, and I put her to sleep like potions
And I wake her up like Folgers, and we sailing out to the oceans
And I swim good, I win good, I lose some, but I fake none
She in a two-door with that loud bumpin' that Veggies in her system
Damn, yea, yea that man, come through like damn
Yea, I do my thing like damn, man
[Verse 3: D-WHY]
Riding in that Beamer, thinking this could be my last trip
Feelin' like I'm Pac, except my Suge is a bad bitch
No Death Row, just kill me, no I.O.U.'s, just bill me now
I been around, you was around, I'm still around, you feel me now
Oh man ain't that life, ain't that nice, ain't that right, oh man, ain't you left, behind
I'm a go 'til my death, real hood like I'm from the projects
Get it how you live, I'm a Hot Boy, on top boy, God bless you
Acting real Juvenile, asking, "what would Mannie Fresh do?"
My new bad bitch look exactly like your sister
Met her at a show and she asked me for a picture
Then took off her shirt and asked if I would kiss her
I said, "what about your brother?" She said, "he's a fucking loser"
I'm just killin' 'em, I'm playing shit, my latest shit, my greatest shit
My mixtapes gon' be albums, and my albums gon' be greatest hits
God damn, I'll kneel down, just crown me now and watch me rule
Assassinate the young king and have six bad bitches guard my tomb
[Outro: D-WHY]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Swag, swag, swag, swag
Kill me now, I'm so fresh I could die
Hope you feel me now, dressing good, living right
Bury me alive, cause my outfit's suicide
I'm so fresh I could die, man I put that on my life

Thank you for the science supporting the points that were brought up
1. You can not spot reduce- What I mean by this is you can do 1 million crunches to try and remove that flab around the belly but all you will do is have really sore abs. You have to work the larger muscle groups like legs, back, chest etc. Why? Well they will expend the most energy. Your body will burn that energy where it can find it. So remember you can not pick and choose where your body gets that energy from.
2. [B]You Can
As I sit here at the desk laughing... I have to say because this is how I joke to my friends, etc on the weekend when they ask me what I think!
I reply, oh I only do that during the week... my brain doesn't think on the weekend! HA
So as I was reading this I laughed to myself and said....Ill ask Josh next some good exercises to keep the brain stimulated as its vacationing on the weekends!
;) Hugs!
Hey Sphnx I think the best option would be sleep lol I love me some sleep I will at times read the dictionary when I have some down time though...See I am only a nerd on the weekends between the hours of 10am and Noon....
Its funny becasue I say the whole only during the week thing as well
lol Josh, you get you some "sleep"!
I can say, I don't read the dictionary during down time, although I do love to read a good book....
I was watching this show the "Doctors" yesterday...one of the guests on the show was speaking about weight loss....basically if you burn 500 calories a day more than you take in you will lose one pound a week!
Getting back to the exercising tho, give me good exercises that work the hips!

Seib & Wessel: The Missing Middle in Egypt
WSJ's Jay Solomon says that Egypt's recent tumult has left it with no stable middle between the army and the Muslim Brotherhood – and the U.S., despite a military aid package, has little ability to shape the country's path.

It's easy to notice Makena Prey's talents on the basketball court or the golf course.
However, the Golden High School senior has also been an influence in the classroom with a 4.66 weighed grade-point average, and she is helping coach a fourth-grade girls basketball team.
Prey, Golden boys basketball standout Adam Thistlewood and Prey's teammate Mia Johnson were asked by their calculus teacher Shannon Garvin if they would drop in once in a while to help coach her daughter's team.
One practice session with the young team has led to many others whenever the schedules of the players allow.
It's been enjoyable and a learning experience coaching the youngsters.
"We have fun with them when we go to the gym," said Prey. "I'm definitely learning that the way you say things matters because it clicks differently with other kids. It has definitely made me more patient with players on my team because it is definitely going to click with them eventually, just not as fast as it does with me. Or just the opposite, it might not click with me as it does with some of the other girls on the team.
"We are just trying to get them to make layups and make the easy baskets because as fourth-graders they don't score that much in their games. So every little bucket counts. We focus on making layups and ball handling."
The fourth-grade girls are lucky to have two of the state's best basketball players in Prey and Thistlewood tutoring them.
Prey, a 6-foot forward, led all Class 4A players in scoring with a 24.9 average after eight games, was sixth with 11.6 rebounds a game, and was the state leader with 76 field goals. She was shooting 67 percent from the floor. She was second with 45 made free throws while making 70 percent of her attempts.
Thistlewood, a 6-7 senior who has signed to play at Drake, was third in the state with a 23.6 scoring average and was first with 76 field goals. He has made 78 percent of his free throws, with his 46 put free throws ranking him second in the state.
"I like teaching the next generation how I was taught to play basketball," Thistlewood said about coaching. "We definitely try to teach them the fundamentals. They have a bundle of energy."
Prey comes from an athletic, competitive family. Her father, Hank, played basketball at Colorado School of Mines. Older sister Sydney was a Golden standout who is now a freshman golfer and redshirt freshman basketball player at Colorado Mesa. Younger sister Haley is a sophomore on the Demons' girls basketball team.
"The competition kinda made me the player I am today since I was always having to go against my older sister who is very competitive," said Prey. "I was always trying to beat her in basketball, golf or school. We pushed to be the best. We do that with everything."
That includes playing pickup games against boys at the recreation center.
"I've been doing that for a little less than a year now and at first nobody would want me to play because I'm a girl," said Prey. "Once they found out I was actually pretty good they started to let me play more and I could beat some of them. Now I know most of them and they put me on a team when we play."
Bound for South Korea
Rosters for the United States men's and women's Olympic hockey teams were announced and two local players will be competing Feb. 9-25 in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Troy Terry, a 20-year-old University of Denver junior from Highlands Ranch, is the youngest player named to the men's team. Green Mountain alumna and Lindenwood University graduate Nicole Hensley will be on the women's team.
Terry scored four shootout goals in the semifinal and title games to help Team USA win the World Junior Championship last January.
Douglas County girls sports luncheon
The Foundation for Douglas County Schools and Douglas County School District will hold their annual Girls and Women in Sports luncheon to honor select coaches, current and former athletes and other guests on Jan. 12 at Chaparral High School.
Each high school will select five girls and each middle school picks seven girls to be honored.

With a nod to the noble sport of boxing, SLAM! Wrestling gives to you a detailed look at the main events for WrestleMania. With Tale of the Tape, we present the stats, the history, the previous Wrestlemania appearances of the headliners.
While the Triple H vs John Cena bout is considered the WrestleMania 22 headliner, there are also interesting connotations on the Smackdown side of the main event, where Rey Mysterio is clearly the underdog in his Triple Threat bout with Kurt Angle and Randy Orton. But will the memory of Eddie Guerrero inspire Mysterio to a victory even more remarkable than his win at the Royal Rumble? Will Angle maintain his hard-hitting dominance of the title? Or will Orton finally live up to expectation and carry the title from Wrestlemania, and beyond?
World Heavyweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton vs Kurt Angle (c)
Name: Rey Mysterio (Oscar Gutierrez)
Date of Birth: December 11, 1974
Hometown: San Diego, California
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 165 pounds
Signature manoeuvre: 619 / West Coast Pop
Brief Bio: Literally translated as "King of Mystery", Rey Mysterio (Jr.) made his debut in 1989 at the age of 14. He wrestled predominantly in Mexico (usually for AAA) - often against rival Psicosis - until being part of ECW's "Extreme Lucha Libre" series in 1995. Now known to most American wrestling fans through his stint in Philadelphia, he joined World Championship Wrestling in 1996, and made a remarkable impression, feuding with the likes of long-time friend Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and even Kevin Nash. After the demise of WCW in 2001, Mysterio was soon signed to the WWE, where he became one of the most popular wrestlers in the company, backed by further excellent matches with Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Kurt Angle. [Full biography]
How he got here: Having won the Royal Rumble in January, from the unenviable position of Number 2 in the draw, it appeared certain that Mysterio would face the World Heavyweight Champion at Wrestlemania - the first time that he would be involved in a heavyweight title match at a pay-per-view event. However, by crudely goading him about the death of Eddie Guerrero, Randy Orton bullied Mysterio into putting that title shot on the line at No Way Out in February. Although he lost the match that night, Mysterio was granted entry into the Smackdown main event by General Manager Theodore Long, thus making the match a Triple Threat affair.
Wrestlemania History: Rey Mysterio's record in Wrestlemanias past is poor. He got his first Wrestlemania win last year, when he defeated Eddie Guerrero in a singles match, with some irony being that he and Guerrero were the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions. In 2004, it took the help of Chavo Guerrero Snr. to eliminate Mysterio from "Cruiserweight Open" title match, in which Chavo Guerrero Jr. was the champion. And in 2003, Matt Hardy retained his Cruiserweight Title over Mysterio, although he did require the use of the ropes to hold the challenger down.
Brief Bio: A third generation wrestler, the business is in Randy Orton's blood, his grandfather known as Bob Orton Snr. and his father as Bob Orton Jnr. Randy debuted in 2000 in his home town of St. Louis, and after a stint with Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), made his WWE debut in April 2002. Despite a serious shoulder injury early in his WWE career, success was soon to come his way, as he defeated Rob Van Dam at Armageddon 2003 to win the Intercontinental title. Having become a member of the heel group Evolution, which included Triple H, Batista, and Ric Flair, Orton developed the character of "The Legend Killer", defeating well-known wrestlers of the past, such as Mick Foley and Sgt. Slaughter. At Summerslam 2004, Orton won his first World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Chris Benoit. But upon his refusal to forfeit his title to Triple H, leader of Evolution, he was ousted from the group. and lost the title to Triple H at Unforgiven in September 2004. More recently, Orton has been involved in a prolonged feud with The Undertaker, in which he defeated "The Dead Man" both at Summerslam 2005, and at No Mercy 2005, the latter in conjuction with his father. [Full biography]
How he got here: After entering the 2006 Royal Rumble at Number 30, Orton was eliminated from the contest by the winner Rey Mysterio. Irritated at being beaten by the smaller man, Orton callously used the death of Eddie Guerrero to bait Mysterio into putting up the Wrestlemania title shot, as a stipulation for a match at No Way Out. Orton defeated Mysterio, somewhat dubiously, by using the ropes for leverage, which prompted General Manager Theodore Long to reinstate Mysterio to the match, which was re-configured into a Triple Threat match.
Wrestlemania History: Randy Orton has competed in the last two Wrestlemanias. In 2005, he was defeated by The Undertaker, who maintained his undefeated streak at the event. In 2004, Intercontinental Champion Orton teamed with Ric Flair and Batista to defeat Mick Foley and The Rock in a handicap match, which ended with Orton pinning Foley.
Name: Kurt Angle
Date of Birth: December 9, 1968
Hometown: Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 220 pounds
Signature manoeuvre: Angle Slam, Anklelock submission
Brief Bio: Having famously won the freestyle wrestling tournament at the 1996 Olympics, Kurt Angle eventually made it to the WWE in 1999 after an extended period of training. His official debut is listed as the 1999 Survivor Series (where he defeated Shawn Stasiak), although he had competed in many dark matches prior to that. As early as February 2000, Angle became a champion, defeating Val Venis for the European Title. That same month, he defeated Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship, and - although he lost the other titles in the meantime - he defeated The Rock for the WWE Championship, his first, at No Mercy in October 2000. Since then, Angle has held the belt on a further three occasions, defeating "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Big Show, Brock Lesnar along the way. Currently the World Heavyweight Champion on Smackdown, Angle has recently turned back challenges from The Undertaker and Mark Henry to defend the title at Wrestlemania. [Full biography]
How he got here: In a surprising turn of events, Kurt Angle won a Smackdown Battle Royal on 10th January 2006 to win the vacant World Heavyweight Title. The belt had been forfeited the previous week by Batista, who had suffered an injury requiring surgery. Angle, who had been a member of the RAW roster, claimed in proceeding weeks that he had signed for Smackdown after allowing his contract on RAW to expire. He successfully defended his title against Mark Henry at the Royal Rumble, and even defeated The Undertaker via pinfall at No Way Out. In recent weeks, in the build-up to Wrestlemania, friction has arisen between Angle and his friend Rey Mysterio, especially since Mysterio cost Angle a Smackdown non-title match with Mark Henry on March 24th.
Wrestlemania History: Angle has had mixed success in his Wrestlemania appearances. Last year, he defeated Shawn Michaels via submission, in what was considered one of the very best matches of 2005. In 2004, Eddie Guerrero got the best of Angle, and in 2003 he succumbed to Brock Lesnar and lost his WWE title. In 2002, Angle defeated Kane, and similarly pinned Chris Benoit in 2001 at Wrestlemania X-7. Despite not having been pinned, Angle lost both his WWF Intercontinental and European titles in a two-fall, triple-threat match with Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, at Wrestlemania 2000.

weknowmore necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 36 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
weknowmore.org organizes social media workshops and events.
We are about working together, living networks, and co-creating. We want teach regular people about social media, and what it can mean for them. and how it can support their learning.
Our website: http://weknowmore.org.
The general public without too much experience with social media. This folder is about letting them know about our workshops that help them navigate the exiting world of social media.
We are looking for a folded A4 design with four sides: a front page, two courses pages in the middle, and a contact page at the back.
We have attached a sketch with a the different elements that should be present in the design. This is still dummy text, but the approx. length will not change. We hope to share the final text at the end of this week.
The design should stand out, and be inspiring, modern, crisp, and youthful (but not too cold). We like 3D block elements for headers or other uses. Like the menu in the top left of http://www.hillcountryut.org/
Our corporate identity should shine through in one way or another, which means mainly white and light blue, grey, black and the blue of the logo (although fresh new ideas are welcomed).
Our website is darkish, but for our brochure we are looking for a white background and colorful elements to complement this.
The front page should be a title page and needs either a modern design or illustration.
Two pages should be about the courses we offer. Every course should have it's own distinct color.
And the last page should be the contact and some general information page with a small map of where we are. A QR-code should be there, and a recycling logo with some text.
We would love to see your interpretation of our wishes and are ready to give you good feedback throughout the process.
Good luck!

Long-term contracts are the basis of a partnership that brings the know-how of our agricultural experts together with the experience of our farmers. Hand in hand, they provide reliable quality and guaranteed income for the farmers.
Strict guidelines guarantee reviewable cultivation methods which protect the environment and the consumer. Documented data on fertilization, irrigation and soil conditions along with targeted checks along the line from planting to harvest deliver important information. We have categorically decided against GM plants. Our method of contracted cultivation supplies us with high quality potatoes and allows for sustainable farming and an intact environment.
By the way:
we always try to find producers of our potatos close to our factories in Germany and Poland. This way our transport distances are short, it saves resources and is good for the region.
Our wheat
The flour that is used for our products is made from the best wheat and only ground in mills that we have certified ourselves. Some of the mills are also certified according to ISO and BRC. Here too: Goodness can be found right next door. For example, in Poland we use wheat from the region around our Saltletts' factory.
Vegetable oils
For the production of your favorite snacks we use exclusively fats of plant origin – sunflower and palm oil.
High quality nuts
Sustainable and high standards – these are the criteria our nuts have to fulfill before they come into the bag. When we choose a nut that is going to go into your NicNac's bag, then we know exactly where it came from – its origin and the farmer that planted it.
We especially look at the origin and taste of all the oils that we use to make our crispy snacks. Besides sunflower oil, we also use palm oil to make our products. For the products that we use palm oil for, already in 2014 we switched to 100% certified sustainable palm oil at all our European locations.
The high global demand for palm oil led to a spread in cultivation areas in the past, which threaten valuable natural habitats in the Tropics (for e.g. the rain forest). This is why the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) was founded in 2004 on an initiative of the WWF. International companies, which produce or use palm oil, environmental groups as well as other NGOs work together in the RSPO to promote environmentally responsible and sustainable palm oil that is certified according to specified criteria.
Lorenz Snack-World is a member of the RSPO. You can find out more here www.rspo.org
In addition, we participate in the "Forum for Sustainable Palm Oil" (FONAP) which is an association of companies, unions and NGOs which are working together to increase the share of segregated, certified palm oil and palm kernel oil or their derivates in the German, Austrian and Swiss market and to make a 100% segregated certified palm oil and palm kernel oil available as soon as possible for these markets.
You can find more information here www.forumpalmoel.org/en
Do you have more questions? We'd be happy to answer them. Please contact our customer service.
Better to be on the safe side
In order to bring fresh snacks to your table, they have to be packaged right. But how can we do this and be environmentally friendly at the same time?
A bag load of good ideas
Did you know that the foil of our chips bag is as thin as a hair? Something so thin doesn't weigh very much either – actually just a few grams when the bag is empty. These are the details that our packaging specialists work on. Their motivation is the aim to use resources efficiently and to make our packaging even better with new ideas. So that our snacks remain fresh and get to you safely – and so that you don't have that much to throw away when you are done.
Eco-friendly packaging
The large share of our cardboard is made of 100% recycled material. In addition, our suppliers use glue that is based on the starch that comes out of washing our potatoes. This way the boxes can be recycled after use. This is just another one of the many aspects our packaging experts look after – always keeping the environment in mind.

Just read Mark filmed a viedo with one of the guys in the movie. He supposedly played the Bass Guitar. Is it too early to hope MTV plays it?

Hey, thats so cool! I know its been a long time since Mark has been in a music video, and isnt it kind of strange that when he does show up in one, its a rock-video? Chances are pretty small that Ill get to see it, but Ill keep watching MTV anyway just in case
I never heard before that it was a comedy either! I'm curious too

Thanks again for the info.RZ! No, I hadn't heard about the time-line. I think this is going to be such an interesting film, especially for we who are not metalheads... to get a glimpse into that life will be so cool! One thing you can say about Mark, is that he always goes for something very different from the last ting he did...

RadZakk, as far as I know, George Clooney is not in the movie, he's just one of the producers of Metal God. Hope that helped

On September 12 and 13 in Kyiv, Ukraine, the U.S. Department of State hosted the 13th TechCamp, a program initiated to build the digital literacy of civil society organizations around the world. TechCamp Kyiv, themed "Creating a Global Citizen: Building Schools without Walls," brought together over 80 civil society organizations comprised of educators, youth advocates, and community organizers from Ukraine and Belarus to work together and examine how social challenges can be addressed using effective, low cost, easy-to-implement technology solutions. TechCamps raise the digital literacy for civil society organizations by bringing in local and regional technology experts to educate, train, and work with civil society groups over the course of two days. The core of Secretary Clinton's Civil Society 2.0 Initiative, TechCamp Kyiv took place in the heart of the city at the Master Klass Cultural center, focusing on issues throughout the region ranging from engagement of youth, to encouraging participation in social responsibility projects, to building the school of the future, to creating equal access to information among outlying areas.
Ambassador John F. Tefft kicked off day one with remarks expressing the commitment of the United States to youth development. Ambassador Tefft said that technology in the hands of teachers, librarians, and youth advocates "gives hope for the future." Technology experts such as Samantha Barry from the BBC, Josephine Dorado, The New School / Kidz Connect, and Angela Odour from Ushahidi sprang to action offering five minute "speed-geeking sessions" aiming to expose participants to quick case studies of what is possible in the realm of new technology use. Trainers told stories such as "Getting the Message Out Using Online Tools in Burma,""Mapping Famine Data to Advocate for Change," and "Using a Mobile App to Rate Schools in Moldova" to peak interest. Eighty-minute dedicated training sessions followed, providing the civil society groups a "deep dive" into the specific application of technologies.
Participants learned how to put together effective social media engagement campaigns to mobilize youth to action, discovered new ways to map educational data, and brainstormed ways to identify schools online that need improvements, among other topics. Participants developed a working knowledge of new technologies easily, learning on the spot how to effectively tell a story using online video, relay a message using blogging and podcasting, and use online sharing resources to provide education across distances. At the end of the first day, discussion groups, led primarily by NGOs, focused on brainstorming the biggest challenges currently facing their organizations that might be solved using technology. Participants talked about the need to address problems such as "better education about the danger of alcohol use" and "passive citizenship among youth," and came up with problems in the form of questions to be solved the following day.
Having learned what was possible in terms of technology implementation, the groups worked on the second day to pair these challenges up with technological solutions and develop detailed project action plans for future sustainability. In total, participants responded with a great deal of enthusiasm, creating 17 detailed action plans with other Ukrainian and Belarusian group members, technologists and tech trainers. Civil society worked closely with technologists to map out strategies for these projects, forming working teams for future development across organizations.
One of the interesting projects, led by civil society participants Olga Yaroshenko and Olga Kotvytska, focused on forming a community of learning surrounding the creation and implementation of online gaming as a tool for teachers to connect with students. Another project, "Sevastopol Schools Interactive Map," developed and deployed an online map to display extra curriculum opportunities offered in secondary schools for a particular city. Other projects included the development of an online platform for citizen journalists to network with each other, building a place online for people to report dilapidated houses to the local authorities, and providing a resource for existing opportunities to invest in local resources.
Following the two-day formal TechCamp Kyiv event, were two "mini TechCamps." Three international trainers traveled to both Donetsk and Kharkiv in Eastern Ukraine and engaged with over 40 additional civil society organizations and librarians throughout the Eastern Ukrainian region where they offered training sessions on mobile, gaming, and online engagement. We hope that this is event propels participants' efforts to educate and build capacity among the next generation of Ukrainians and Belarusians so that they can become true global citizens.

Those crazy folks at Toyota sure now how to party. This new year they're going to be debuting a new top-o-the-line Auris SR180 (the Auris being the hatch version of the European Corolla Hatch, and a social disease common in the West Indies). This range topper comes with a 175 horsepower 2.2 liter diesel that scoots the little hatch to 62 mph in a respectable 8.1 seconds while still producing 45.6 MPG in combined cylce driving. Oh, and of course you can get it in the Pure White paint job, which the press release describes as "über-cool." Photos and press release below.
Toyota Auris SR180
• New sports-focused Toyota Auris SR180 flagship model
• Toyota Motorsport lowered suspension and rear spoiler
• Dark-tinted rear privacy glass
• 17-inch alloy wheels
• 175bhp 2.2 D-4D engine gives nought to 62mph acceleration in 8.1 seconds
• On sale on 1 January 2008
• Prices £17,995 (three-door) and £18,495 (five-door)
A new flagship Toyota Auris hits the streets early next year, giving the range a new sporting edge. The SR180 does not stint on eye-appeal, with Toyota Motorsport lowered suspension springs giving it a ground-hugging stance and a neat new rear spoiler positioned atop the tailgate. Dark-tinted rear privacy glass and five-spoke 17-inch alloys add further to the style factor, while the choice of body colours includes an über-cool Pure White.
The SR180 is far from being all-show-and-no-do. The 2.2-litre D-4D engine generates 175bhp and a maximum 400Nm of torque from 2,000rpm, giving responsive and rewarding driving performance through the six-speed manual transmission. Benchmark acceleration from nought to 62mph is 8.1 seconds, while the D-4D engine's strong fuel efficiency returns an official 45.6mpg in combined cycle driving.
Further driving rewards are delivered by the dedicated, lightweight double wishbone rear suspension, tailored specifically to meet the demands of the model's higher performance characteristics. Vehicle stability control (VSC) with traction control (TRC) are provided as standard.
In keeping with its flagship status, the SR180 has a high equipment specification with automatic dual-zone air conditioning, dusk-sensing headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and cruise control all part of the standard package.
The new model is available to order now (for delivery in January), with both three and five-door versions available, priced respectively £17,995 and £18,495 on the road. [Toyota via World Car Fans]

In gardens where plants are full-bodied and remarkable, you'll find enzymes in the root zone. That's because enzymes are natures own powerful 'jackhammers' that pound away and speed up the break-down of root zone debris so root zones are cleaner. Even better, the enzyme process creates plant nutrition that is easily absorbed by roots. As a matter of fact natural enzymes can be missing causing the root zone in most hydroponics gardens to be less effective. That's why successful gardeners use SensiZym, which contains a powerful and abundant mixture of enzymes. SensiZym is an easy to use product that fits with and assists any feed program in any type of hydroponics garden growing media.

Strasburg, homers lead Nats to 11th straight Citi win
NEW YORK -- Entering Thursday night's game, right-hander Stephen Strasburg had struggled on the road this season, going 1-8 with 5.25 ERA. However, playing at Citi Field wasn't a problem for Strasburg as the Nationals downed the Mets, 4-1, for Washington's 11th straight win at New York's home ballpark.
The win put the Nationals six games ahead of the Braves in the National League East race. Atlanta lost to the Dodgers, 6-4, at Turner Field earlier in the day.View Full Game Coverage
NEW YORK -- Entering Thursday night's game, right-hander Stephen Strasburg had struggled on the road this season, going 1-8 with 5.25 ERA. However, playing at Citi Field wasn't a problem for Strasburg as the Nationals downed the Mets, 4-1, for Washington's 11th straight win at New York's home ballpark.
The win put the Nationals six games ahead of the Braves in the National League East race. Atlanta lost to the Dodgers, 6-4, at Turner Field earlier in the day.View Full Game Coverage
But don't tell manager Matt Williams that the Nationals have a comfortable lead.
"We've seen in recent years that [a comfortable lead] doesn't mean anything," Williams said. "It means that we have to work even harder and make sure that we take care of our games and play well. That's our objective."
Strasburg got off to a great start, retiring nine out of the first 10 hitters he faced, while striking out three batters. The only time New York scored against Strasburg was in the fourth inning, and that run was unearned. After Daniel Murphy reached base on an infield single, advanced to second on a throwing error by Ian Desmond and David Wright struck out, Lucas Duda hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Murphy.
Strasburg showed he could get out of trouble when, after Eric Young led off the sixth with a double and Curtis Granderson followed with a walk, Murphy hit into a double play, leaving Young at third base. Wright ended the inning by striking out.
Strasburg would pitch seven innings, allowing the one unearned run on three hits, while striking out eight batters and walking two.
"He really had fastball command from both sides of the plate. That's where it starts with him," Williams said. "If he can do that, it just opens up everything else. He pitched well. He had a jam in the middle inning and he got out of it with a great double-play ball. He pitched well."
After getting roughed up against the Braves last Friday, Strasburg sought the advice from people like Williams, pitching coach Steve McCatty and teammates Gio Gonzalez and Doug Fister on how to get better results. Strasburg came to the conclusion that he had to pitch inside more and have great fastball command.
"We look at Stras as our horse," Gonzalez said. "He will always be our ace. He has such talent and is willing to learn more."
Strasburg knew he had to change his approach on the mound.
"This game is funny. You can always learn something new," Strasburg said. "I wouldn't say pitching on the road [is tough]. I think I had bad games on the road. I think there are things that I do that put me in a position where [the hitters] can take a better swing at it. So I'm going to trying to learn as a much as I can."
The Nationals gave Strasburg enough run support to work with starting in the first inning off right-hander Dillion Gee. With a runner on first and two outs, Adam LaRoche hit an 0-2 fastball over the left-center-field wall for a two-run homer. It marked the fifth time this season that a National hit a home run on an 0-2 count.
Gee threw two curveballs before throwing the fastball, and LaRoche thought the ball he hit wasn't going out of the park.
"I thought I popped it up a little too much, but it ended up being enough," LaRoche said.
Three innings later, Bryce Harper got in on the act and hit a mammoth home run over the right-center-field wall, a two-run shot, to make it a 4-0 game. His last three home runs have been against the Mets. This last home run indicated that Harper maybe over his thumb issues. He swung the bat free and easy and hit the ball a long way to right field.
"His strength is coming back, and if he gets a ball that is in a little bit, sometimes it hurts him. He feels it for a day or so, but that is part of the process coming back from that," Williams said. "He is getting stronger by the day. He is seeing it better. It probably starts with strength. If you feel good about it, then you are able to stay back and wait for the ball a little bit, let it travel, and he has been doing that."
Harper said the swing was the best he felt all year.
"It was pitch I could handle over the plate. I was lucky enough to put it over the fence for two runs," Harper said.
Mets manager Terry Collins was disappointed that his team didn't put things together against Washington.
"We're a little disappointed with how we played them here, no question," Collins said. "We play them good in Washington. … They just outplayed us [in New York]. We can't keep the ball in the park, and we can't hit them out. That's the story of this series, for sure."
The Nationals return to Washington to begin a 10-game homestand starting Friday against the Pirates.

Karla Micheli (MPA/MAIEM '14) and Natalie Alfaro (MPA '14) spent last summer in Granada, Nicaragua interning with the organization Viva Nicaragua. The two students secured immersive learning funding from the Monterey Institute to support their internships, and partnered with the Monterey Museum of Art to produce a museum exhibit as their final project.
In Nicaragua, part of their internship involved helping to establish a holistic educational scholarship program for a former squatter community. They also interviewed politicians, economists, teachers and an abundance of community members about revolutions of the past, present conditions and future hopes. The exhibit, "De Nicaragua," is their way to tell the stories of the people that they met, and to shed light on daily life in Nicaragua.
The exhibit formally opened on March 5 and will run until April 14.

Exclusive report: Inside North Korea
Date created : Latest update :
Just a few weeks before North Korean leader Kim Jong-il died, reportedly of a heart attack, FRANCE 24's Cyril Payen managed to go into North Korea - one of the most closed countries in the world.
Crossing the North Korean border is like leaving the 21st century and the modern world to dive into the unknown. It's a step back in time to the era of the socialist ideal, to the first century according to the Kim dynasty calendar established by the regime.
Under the constant surveillance of minders, we visit the capital of Pyongyang and even get a glimpse of the countryside in this hermetically sealed nation over the course of five days in the most closed country in the world.
