Band, choir to perform in separate concerts
April 5, 2014 at 8:02 p.m.
Updated April 4, 2014 at 11:05 p.m.
Crossroads music fans will have their listening pleasure doubled when the Crossroads Community Band and Victoria College Choir and the Victoria Civic Chorus perform in two separate concerts.
The Crossroads Community Band will perform a "Band Geeks Unite" concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts. The concert is free and open to the public.
Featured will be traditional instrumental concert band music that ranges from John Philip Sousa marches, operatic music by Puccini to great American Blues by Jack End.
Symphony music from the "Lord of the Rings" film will also be performed, said Ken Peach, Crossroads Community Band music director.
The band rehearses Tuesday nights in the Victoria College band hall. The group is affiliated with Victoria College, and students may enroll in the band for VC music ensemble credit.
Founded in 2009, the Crossroads Community Band consists of instrumentalists from all walks of life including retirees, teachers, doctors, librarians, engineers, computer specialists, business professionals, high school and college students and musicians.
For more information, contact Peach at 361- 788-9335 or email email@example.com.
On Friday, the Victoria College Choir and the Victoria Civic Chorus will perform a concert featuring the works of classical composer Franz Haydn at 7:30 p.m. in the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts. This concert is also free and open to the public.
Under the direction of VC Music Professor Marylynn Fletcher, the chorus will perform eight of the 11 choruses in Haydn's "The Seasons." Several choruses have soprano, tenor and bass trios.
Soprano soloists are Eugenie Fuhrman, Olivia Davis and Chelsey Sanders. Tenor soloists are Adam Gonzales and Robert Posey. Bass soloists are Quinton Jones and Duane Roth.
The work is written for a chorus and three vocal soloists representing rural life of 1750-1800 and is based on a long English poem by James Thomson titled "The Seasons," Fletcher said. The oratorio, a semi-dramatic work for orchestra and voices, is divided into four parts corresponding to spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It includes recitatives, arias, choruses and trios. This performance will use a piano reduction instead of an orchestra.
"Some of the remarkable choruses depict a summer thunderstorm, a wine celebration after the harvest, and indoor winter scenes such as a spinning song and storytelling song," Fletcher said. "The work ends with a rousing chorus for double chorus and trio. The music historian Charles Rosen said of this oratorio, 'It is among the greatest works of the century.'"
The Victoria Civic Chorus is a nonprofit organization of singers from Victoria and surrounding communities that started in the 1940s by the Victoria Music Club. Its members are teachers, librarians, chemical engineers, plant workers and individuals of many professions who enjoy singing in choirs. The group rehearses Thursday evenings.
The Welder Center is at 214 N. Main St. in downtown Victoria.
For more information, contact Fletcher at 361-572-6425 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

As the back to school sales begin, we are reminded that soon our kids will be back on the bus and returning to school routines. As adults we may look forward to the return of a consistent routine or dread the increased activity that comes with sports, homework and friends. For our children school can be both exciting and anxiety producing as well.
Stress can be a contributor to many illnesses and is something that we all can use help managing. (Want to find out how much you know about stress and your kids? Take this 5 question quiz here.) The questions bring up some great ways to manage stress daily for our kids; but what about the stresses of chronic illness or hospitalization? What can you do for your child to decrease their anxiety in the hospital?
Naturally, some of these things are harder to manage than others. Your nurse and doctor want to plan your child's care to provide sleep and comfort, and help to minimize everyone's anxiety as much as possible. Sometimes just talking with your care providers about your fears can help everyone feel better about the experience. Keep calm and cuddle up!

An electrical quirk after the game showed the final score as Franklin 60, Hunters Lane 1. That wasn't the final score, but it didn't make that much difference.
Franklin advanced to the third round of the TSSAA Class 5A playoffs — and a rematch with county rival Independence — with a 27-6 beat down of Hunters Lane in Madison. Franklin running back Anthony Steele ran for 91 yards and a touchdown and Rebel quarterback Graham Nichols had scoring runs of 39 and 31 yards.
"We've been playing pretty well," said Franklin coach Craig Clayton. "We've gotten better every week."
The Rebels dominated from start to finish and got things going with the first drive of the game, going 65 yards in 13 plays to score on a 3-yard dash by Steele.
Franklin made it 14-0 on a 59-yard option run by Ramsey Sellers. Nichols' two scoring runs came in the third quarter and the Rebels cruised from there.
Hunters Lane standout tailback Erik Wisdom scored on a 6-yard touchdown run with 3:24 remaining in the game to make it 27-6. The Warriors could not get going offensively all night and only made it into Franklin territory twice.
In the next round, Franklin will host Independence, which smashed Antioch 44-12 on Friday night. The Rebels dealt Independence its only Region 6-5A loss of the season, a 41-16 rout on Sept. 21.
"I'm sure they wanted us," Clayton said. "We're going back down there and it will be a battle."

Former pariah state pardons more than 500 prisoners
Burma pardoned more than 500 prisoners yesterday in an amnesty that included political detainees, according to the opposition party, a step that could strengthen the former military state's growing bonds with Washington.
A government bulletin announcing the news on state television did not make clear if any of those affected were political inmates. But Naing Naing, an official of Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party, said he was hopeful the amnesty included 424 remaining political prisoners.
"We're optimistic that these are the remaining political prisoners," said Naing Naing, himself a former political prisoner.
He said the NLD received word political prisoners had been amnestied from the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners , a Thai-based group that tracks prisoners in Burma, also known as Myanmar.
Bo Kyi, secretary general of the AAPP, said political prisoners were among those pardoned, but the organisation needed more time to confirm the number.
The timing of the amnesty is significant, coming days ahead of a visit to the United States by Burma's reformist president, Thein Sein, and a separate US trip that began yesterday by Suu Kyi, the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Suu Kyi's election in April helped to transform Burma's pariah image and convince the West to begin rolling back sanctions after a year of dramatic reforms, including the release of about 700 political prisoners between May 2011 and July this year. The US has called for all remaining dissidents to be freed as a precondition for further economic rewards, including a relaxation of a ban on imports imposed years ago over human rights abuses.
The US state department reacted cautiously to news of the amnesty. – (Reuters)

Tanfield floated in 2000 and is now valued at £400m on the London Stock Exchange.
Before joining Tanfield, Robinson spent nine years as finance director of electronics company ISL, during which time it grew from being a £10m into a £150m business, before being sold to sold to US consortium Hicks Muse Tate & Furst in 1997.

Reviving this thread as people need a reminder about it and for the new people just joining in. A whole lot of great information in here.
Razick brought up a good point. It's extremely helpful to have another organized player in your squad that is effectively a fireteam leader. NCO position as portrayed by Razick is ideal for this. So much so that I almost wish there was an NCO Kit in some way. Currently I've seen a fireteam leader often take a Scoped Rifleman kit as it's generally the same as the Officer's kit but without flashbang, SOFLAM, less med kits and no ability to spot.
Some random musing of possible NCO Kits:
- A Scoped Rifleman Kit with an extra medic pack and a GLTD/SOFLAM also and of course the ability to target enemy.
- An Officer's Kit without the flashbang, one less medic kit and a shovel.
The Spec Ops kit could fill the role but it's really not necessary to have that in a squad for a NCO type position since it's limited to 2 on a full 64 player game. I don't know honestly if a NCO kit is even needed but it would give clear definition to a NCO position as well as give an true infantry squad a second in command. It's really a shame that you can't designate someone as SL if your SL happens to disconnect to leave the squad. At least then the NCO would automatically become SL. The biggest bonus to a NCO kit would honestly be the ability to spot enemy and maybe also be able to drive command trucks.
Regardless I find that Squad Leading is an art form and requires a much better understanding of the game, maps and the responsibility to lead and of course set rally points. A NCO position is very helpful for squads that separate in fire teams and for giving advice to the SL.
Can't really say anything more than what Razick and Fuzzhead have already said.

… the Penguins remind me an awful lot of last season's Stanley Cup winners, the Chicago Blackhawks. They're playing with the same mix of speed, skill and grit, not to mention confidence, focus and desire.
… Ray Shero should win his second straight General Manager of the Year award. Not only did the wily GM keep the team's talented core intact, but he somehow wedged key free agents Rob Scuderi and Chuck Kobasew under the salary cap.
… Scuderi has filled the role of shutdown defenseman as easily as one slides into a comfortable pair of old slippers. Perhaps Scuds will be the missing "Piece" to the Pens' Stanley Cup puzzle.
… how good has Matt Niskanen been? Six points in seven games and a plus-10 … wow. Kudos to Shero for not trading the Minnesota native as everyone predicted.
… new assistant coach Jacques Martin's impact is evident. The Pens appear to be much more structured and composed in their own end. Heck, they're even playing a left-wing lock. Another brilliant addition by Shero.
… credit coach Dan Bylsma for blending Martin's emphasis on defense with the black-and-gold's puck-possession style.
… Marc-Andre Fleury seems reborn between the pipes. Five months ago he appeared to be a broken goalie. Thus far, Flower's been cool, calm and collected … and ultra-effective. An assist goes to new goaltending coach Mike Bales.

Tudor Fastrider Black Shield Ceramic Automatic Chronograph Men's Watch
£ 3 540.00
When high-tech ceramic meets the world of Tudor, the result is, naturally, quite out of the ordinary. Powerful and unique. And so it is with the Tudor Fastrider Black Shield, a distillation of strength and virility matched with supreme reliability. The Tudor Fastrider Black Shield is an extraordianry timepiece featuring a monobloc case in high-tech black matt ceramic, a chronograph with a fiery temperament adding its energy to a Tudor line dedicated to speed and top performance. Monolithic and scratch-proof, the Tudor Fastrider Black Shield's monobloc case in matt black ceramic is an archetype in its genre. Not only is it fashioned using nothing but high-tech injected ceramic - not ceramic applied to another material as a coating - but it is also made entirely in one process. In addition to the noble aesthetics of this chronograph, the extremely complex procedure adopted for its manufacture - a result of technological expertise acquired in perfecting the bezel of the Pelagos line - ensures that both the middle case and bezel are exceptionally reliable and resistant. Waterproof to a depth of 150m and fitted with direct-action pushers and a screw-down crown in PVD-treated steel, the 42mm case houses a self-winding chronograph Tudor calibre 7753 movement with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The matt finish selected for this monobloc case shows off to particular advantage the clean curves and taut lines of this chronograph. It also accentuates the watch's dimensions and the tachymetric scale engraved on the fixed bezel. The strength emanating from the case is highlighted by the red features - including the luminescent material - that punctuates the black dial. A red seal placed under the scratch resistant sapphire crystal enhances the presence of this model, a perfect tribute to Tudor's colour codes. A unique statement of precision and performance, the Tudor Fastrider Black Shield is presented on a black rubber strap. Achieving a delicate balance between elegance and performance, Tudor watches are inspired by the retro chic design of the 1950's and 1960's, achieving classic refinement with a modern twist, where attention to detail and clean lines emphasise timeless style. M42000CR-0001Our collection of Tudor watches are available exclusively at our Gateshead Metro, Manchester, Chester, Oxford, Meadowhall and High Wycombe branches.

What does flying in a dream mean? To my surprise many of my closer friends have experienced flying dreams at some stage. Some of those dreams are quite vivid and people take full or partial control of them. Those experiences can be quite impactful, bringing an intense sensation of freedom and making us want to repeat them again and again. So, what can we say on the topic "Dream meanings: flying"?
According to IAC's body of researchers if you are experiencing flying dreams chances are you are having low lucidity projections of the consciousness.
The Flying Dream Meaning
Bearing in mind that lucidity is the ability to think clearly, it's easy to understand that throughout the day people have variable degrees of lucidity. For example, when do you think you would be more lucid: while sober or under the influence of alcohol? What happens to your level of lucidity if you skip one night sleep? Have you experienced lapses of lucidity in the past, for example drivers who don't fully recall their last trip as if they were in an autopilot mode?
These questions help us to understand that the degrees of lucidity are influenced by aspects such as age, location, general state of health, diet, beliefs, etc. The same applies at night when we are sleeping. We can have higher or lower levels of lucidity.
Dream of Flying and Lucid Projections
Dreams take place in the brain, and although they are not fully explained yet we can say that dreams are successions of images, sensations and emotions that occur in our brain during certain stages of sleep. It helps us to organise the bombardment of information we face every day. Dreams normally lack a clear sequence of events such as in a film and instead miss some parts and narrative elements.
On the other hand, fully lucid projections are as real to us as if we were awake, and in exceptional cases we achieve even higher levels of awareness. During these types of projections, same as in the waking state, there is a sequence of events, we can interact with other consciousnesses and are in control of the experiences themselves. They normally happen in the period when our body is resting, usually asleep in bed, because our level of relaxation is also a contributing significant factor.
So What are Lucid Dreams?
In a nutshell, a lucid dream is a stage between a dream and a lucid out of body projection. Those special times during which some of us manage to gain some lucidity can be confusing to our ingenious brain. That is why it reacts by trying to adjust/modify incomprehensible for its analysis situations. It tries to fill the gaps with oneiric images that transform the experience into something more plausible to us. This way our brain blends reality with dreams creating what we call "lucid dreams".
There are many accounts of lucid dreams and what is remarkable about this experience is that frequently the dreamer manages to take control of part of the dream.
In order to understand how reality and dream can mix, let's suppose you wake up one day and remember having a flying dream. After questioning yourself to try to remember more details, you conclude that you were on an aeroplane but strangely there is no recall of the cabin seats, wings, engines and perhaps other passengers. All you can remember is what you saw through the windows. This could well be because your resourceful brain is attempting to find the most probable interpretation for a flying dream. Interestingly enough many people would not normally delve deeper into their dream recollections and would easily disregard this experience as an unusual dream about flying.
In essence during sleep we all experience a misalignment of our consciential vehicles of manifestation. Whilst most people have no awareness in the sleep state, some of us manage to gain some lucidity which would be the equivalent of "waking up" during sleep. It suffices to say that experiencing a fully lucid projection is a life changing experience. It is as impactful as a near death experience (NDE) but with the advantage that we are not under life threatening conditions. We could say it is a safe way to learn more about who we truly are and those who manage to have even a single lucid out of body experience no longer fear death.
Have you thought it possible visiting your loved ones whether they are amongst us in a physical body or not? What about exploring Earth or perhaps other planets? Assisting other consciousnesses in need? Having control of your own experiences is invaluable.
Most people recall some dreams, a more selective group is hooked on their lucid dreams experiences and wish they have one every night. However the next level up, a lucid projection of the consciousness, is a much richer experience.
It's astounding to think that anyone can train and convert their sleep time into something incredibly meaningful and productive whilst the vast majority of us can barely recall their dreams. There is an immense amount of knowledge available to those who are lucid when out of body.
Turning a Flying Dream into a Lucid Projection
The good news for those who experience lucid dreams is that they are ever so close to having a fully lucid projection. The key is to gain a bit more lucidity and to everyone's benefit various techniques have been researched and can be applied to facilitate this transition.
As a general rule if you want to succeed in whatever challenging goal you have, it's paramount to be persistent and learn from those who have achieved it. The same is true if you want to increase and maintain a higher degree of lucidity for longer. Anyone can do it and IAC regularly offers a range of courses where students train not only to achieve this goal but also to learn about many other evolutionary aspects related to out of body experiences.
During the Consciousness Development Programme (CDP) for example, students apply a range of techniques to maximise the possibility of experiencing lucid projections, increase the chances of remembering their dreams or projections and also discuss other pieces of our life's puzzle: bioenergies, evolution, assistantiality, various psychic phenomena and other related topics.
The welcoming international team of IAC instructors is comprised of volunteers, researchers, and writers who take a scientific approach to the studies of consciousness.

Each inode contains a mode word, which describes the type and state of the inode. Inodes might be one of eight types:
Shadow (used for ACLs)
Inodes might be in one of three states:
Partially allocated
When the file system is created, a fixed number of inodes are set aside, but they are not allocated until they are needed. An allocated inode is one that points to a file. An unallocated inode does not point to a file and, therefore, should be empty. The partially allocated state means that the inode is incorrectly formatted. An inode can get into this state if, for example, bad data is written into the inode list because of a hardware failure. The only corrective action fsck can take is to clear the inode.

It's Time for Your... Pe r f orm ance Ev al u ation! 12 tips for transforming bad or nonexistent review processes into effective tools that help people reach their full potential. By Bobby Weber Articles in the Wall Street Journal and other publications have questioned the validity of "The Annual Performance Review." Some businesses have stopped using evaluations altogether because managers cannot see any value being added through the process. While many companies still require managers to complete yearly performance evaluations, most managers see the process as a fruitless exercise. However, performance evaluation can be a useful tool for developing great people and driving performance. The problem is that most managers approach performance evaluation from an outdated, "old world" perspective. Nearly everyone has had some kind of negative performance evaluation experience. Neither supervisors nor employees really feel positive about or look forward to this process. Employees end up feeling scrutinized while supervisors tend to feel uncomfortable about passing judgment. The issue is that supervisors often do not understand how to make use of this tool to create lasting change in employee behavior and performance. The inherent flaws within traditional approach include: n Negative feedback often comes as an unpleasant surprise to employees who thought they were doing a good job. n Supervisors sometimes over-appraise poor performers and then lack any corroborating evidence if the need to terminate later arises. n Supervisors dedicate too little time to evaluation so employees write off the experience as a meaningless exercise of corporate compliance. n Supervisors focus too much on recent infractions and too little on the employee's overall performance during the rest of the year. It's a Process, Not an Event There is, however a more effective 21st Century approach that emphasizes performance evaluation as a vital communication and coaching opportunity. Evaluation can be a basis for clarification and coaching to maximize performance. Bosses can also gather feedback and see the business through the eyes of employees, too. Very few one-time events are ever successful in transforming behavior and performance. Initiatives that create lasting change are process orientated. Most organizations approach performance evaluation as a once-a-year event. Research and common sense indicate, however, that in order for evaluations to have a meaningful impact they should happen at two critical levels. First, formal structured performance evaluations should occur at least biannually and preferably on a quarterly basis.

God has a plan for you, my beautiful, smart and extremely talented niece. I knew it from the very minute you came into this world. There you were at the Medical Center in Beaver, PA wrapped in my arms with a little cap on your gorgeous little head — I fell in love with you at that very moment. And then your grandma said, "look at all her hair," and pulled the little cap off and there fell three or four inches of fine brown hair. Just precious. You changed my life at that very moment.
I spent almost every night at your house for the first six months of your life. I think your dad was probably sick of seeing me, but your mom would hand you to me and then go wash her floors or do laundry or other things. She was happy I was there. I would feed you and play with you — I couldn't get enough of you — you just loved to snuggle in my arms. You fit there so perfectly. I used to look down at you while I fed you your bottle and talk to you about where life would take you. And dream about all the things God had planned for you, my tiny niece.
And then you were baptized and as your Godmother, I made a promise to always take care of you, keep you safe and teach you about our Catholic faith. Staying true to your faith will guide you and comfort you as you begin your new journey. And with every difficult decision you encounter along the way, find a quiet place and talk it over with God. He will give you the right answer. Always believe, Megan. Always believe deep inside of you that God will protect you and guide you. God has something wonderful planned for you.
I was there for so many of your firsts, Megan. Your first steps, your first words. Your first tears and your first giggles. You used to giggle at so many things — especially your little dog Barney. Or your bouncy chair. You were a beautiful, perfect baby — with big spiral curls and the bluest, most curious eyes. Even as you got older — I was there to see your accomplishments, awards, ceremonies and recognitions. I am so proud of you, Megan. I'm so thankful that I was able to experience so many of your firsts.
Your Mom and I took you everywhere. We would go to the mall on the weekends. I remember one trip to the mall where I bumped your head by accident on one of the metal clothing stands in Lazarus department store. You screamed and cried, and I took you outside of Lazarus inside the mall where we sat by the water fountain. I cried with you, because I hurt you. I remember holding you close and rubbing the little red mark on your head. I told you I was sorry and you smiled. I'll never forget that. I've learned over the years that forgiveness is so important. Everybody makes mistakes and everybody learns from those mistakes. You have to forgive and move on and remember that most people are really good inside and want to do the right thing. Always give everyone the benefit of the doubt. You won't regret that.
I believed more than anything that God sent you to us at the very moment in life when you were needed here. My dad, your grandpa or "Pappy Bob" was sick and you were that gem in his day that made all the difference, Megan. The relationship the two of you had was simply endearing — you would run to him, giggling and he would have a smile from ear to ear. Those moments and all the moments between you and my dad simply touched my heart. If you're ever feeling alone or sad, just think about how special you are — you made such a difference in so many lives. And God's plan for you is still unfolding!
I wish you would have known my dad the way we all did. He was a man of great faith who knew what was important in life. He could do anything he set his mind to and he taught all of us that. Dad's advice was the best kind. He knew what the right answer was and was our guide. You and I got our talents from him. And today I believe he is your guide as you embark on this next chapter in your life. He's looking down on you and is so, so, so proud of that little baby he knew for such a short time. Pappy Bob would sing to you all the time, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray. You never know dear how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away." You gave him a reason to love life when life was dishing him lemons. It was you who changed his life.
So I watched you grow up into an amazing woman who is talented in so many ways. My dad always told me that if you do something in life with the talents God gave you, you would be so happy and fulfilled. You are a baker, a decorator, a designer. You are an artist, a painter, and a masterpiece creator. You have an incredible imagination that helps you dream big and your creativity is endless. You chose the right field of study — architecture. You'll soon be immersed in a whole new world of textures, fabrics, upcycled, recycled, reclaimed, metals, woods, natural stones and countless other materials for fabrication. You'll learn about the history of furniture and styles — what's new, what's old and what's to come. And I'm going to be that pesky aunt who wants to know everything about coming.
Dream big, Megan. I believe you can do anything you put your mind to. Dream big for yourself and for those who matter in your life. Get a dream book and write down 100 dreams you have for yourself. That's right. At least 100. You can write them, list them, draw them, doodle them. Take your dream book everywhere you go. Make notes and date them. Add to your book. Cross of things as you accomplish them. And find ways to make new ones come true. Don't ever stop dreaming, Megan. Dreams will help you live life to the fullest. And, it will be interesting to see where your dreams today take you and what your dreams look like 10 years from now.
Love with all your heart. "Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. This Bible passage is something I read at least once a week, especially if I'm upset about something. Whenever you're annoyed with someone else or a situation, just read these words and know that if you believe in these words, the situation will just fall apart and go away. Try it! It really works.
Be the good in the world. And believe there is good in the world. That's my best advice, my most favorite quote. Believe there is good in the world, because there is. And you have the opportunity to Be the Good by your actions and what you do. Your kindness already touches those around you. You are so smart and caring — you're beautiful inside and out. Your smile is so genuine and the way you show respect to those around you is admirable. Goodness oozes from within you, Megan. And goodness is contagious! You'll attract others just like you who believe they can make the world a better place for everyone.
God has a plan for you, Megan. It's just starting to unfold before us. I sit here and think about how much you've grown up and how much I love you. We would have said, "I love you big piles!" when you were two years old. The answer is still "big piles!" I can't help but wonder where life is going to take you. Get on that ride of life and hold on tight. Never let go and always climb higher. I believe anything is possible, Megan. And I'm anxious to watch as you move into the next chapter of yours, ready to experience more of your firsts that are yet to come.
Always B E L I E V E !

Sponsor a child in India
For over 50 years, SOS Children's Villages has supported vulnerable children and families throughout India. We provide long-term support, as well as essential services during emergencies.
Across India, we take care of children who can no longer live with their family. They grow up in a SOS family home with their SOS brothers and sisters. Together, they are cared for by a specially trained SOS mother. Several of these families make up a Children's Village. Quality education, healthcare and tailored services are also provided to ensure that each child flourishes.
Will you help orphaned and abandoned children in India, and sponsor a child today?
We care for children like Sirisha and Amita, whose mother died in the tsunami.
India: a country of contrasts
The seventh largest country in the world and an emerging economic power, India is brimming with potential. An incredibly diverse country, it is home to over 1.2 billion people, making it the second most populous country in the world. Since the 1960s many have been lifted out of poverty due to economic change and a twofold increase in wages.
Yet poverty endures in many regions, especially rural areas. It's shocking to learn that more than 20% of the population lives below the poverty line. A tenth of people lack access to clean drinking water, and health care is a major concern with overall life expectancy at only 65.
India contains the highest number of illiterate people in the world, with only 62% of adults able to read and write. In most regions, girls and women are less likely to be able to read and write than their male counterparts.
What challenges do children in India face?
- More than 400,000 children under five years-old die from preventable diseases –diarrhoea and pheumonia.
- School attendance is low and child labour is an ongoing problem. More than one in ten children between the ages of five and fourteen is involved in child labour, with many of these involved in trafficking.
- As HIV/AIDS has risen across the country, the number of children without parental care has increased. Many children also suffer from HIV/AIDS, and face damaging social discrimination as a result. Over 2 million people in India suffer from HIV/AIDS.
- Girls are particularly vulnerable to poverty, homelessness and violence. In some areas, two thirds or more of girls drop out of primary school, and half are forced to marry before they reach the age of 18.
SOS Children's Villages in India
SOS Children's Villages began working in India in 1963. Today there are 32 SOS Children's Villages in India, as well as eight Villages which care specifically for Tibetan refugee children. We're proud to say that over 15,000 children now have a permanent family home in a Village. We also support families in the wider community through more than fifty welfare, educational and medical facilities.
You can specify if you would like to sponsor a child from a particular Village or region. Here's a list of all of the SOS Children's Villages in India.

Bhimtal is also a holiday camp for children from other SOS Children's Villages in India, due to its beautiful natural surroundings.
The SOS Children's Village in Bhopal was built following the 1984 industrial disaster in which many children were orphaned. The Village has family houses, youth houses, and an SOS Primary School. Through family support, we help vulnerable families stay together.
The SOS community in Bhubaneshwar (also Bhubaneswar) is situated in eastern India on the shores of the Bay of Bengal in the capital of the state of Orissa. The SOS Children's Village is made up of family houses for orphaned children, and an SOS Youth Home.
We built the SOS community in Bhuj following an Emergency Relief Programme after the earthquake in Gujurat, western India, in 2001. The Village opened in 2003. There are family houses and a family support programme.
Since there is a special need to encourage the education of girls in this area, we started an SOS School with a small hostel for girls. The school has ten classrooms and provides primary education to up to 350 pupils.
The SOS Children's Village in Chennai (formerly known as Madras) has family houses built in the South Indian style with rooms grouped round an inner courtyard. There is also an SOS Youth Home, a SOS Medical Centre, and an SOS Primary School.

An SOS School teaches 1400 pre-school, primary and secondary pupils from the local community. There is a family support programme and a Vocational Training Centre.
The first community we built in India was in Greenfields, Delhi, in 1968. There are family houses, a village shop, two youth houses and a social centre providing day care, counselling, vocational training and community outreach health programmes. At a nearby village called Anangpur, SOS Children's Villages runs a primary school and an SOS Nursing School.
SOS Children's Village Guwahati is in the capital of Assam, north-eastern India. This community has family houses, youth houses, a playground and football field.
Hojai is one of the three SOS Children's Villages in Assam, and is located east of Guwahati. With family houses and youth houses, we provide a new home and mum to 300 children. A family support programme runs in Hojai too, to support the vulnerable children in the community.
In the 1990s we came across 200 children from the province of Andhra Pradesh who had been bought from their parents by people who wanted to make money by having these children adopted. The little ones had ended up in a home run by the local authorities, where they were living under terrible conditions. Some children were able to return to their parents after we intervened, and others came to live at the new SOS Children's Village in Hyderabad. It has family homes and a community programme.
The SOS Children's Village in Jaipur has family houses built in the traditional regional style with flat roofs used as sleeping areas during the hot weather. Older children live at the SOS Youth Home. We have also rented a large home in the town where all retired SOS Mothers can live.

The SOS Mothers have been specially trained to bring up children with extra needs, and all the houses have been made wheelchair accessible. Most children attend local schools, but for those who require a little more attention, we have an SOS School and Vocational Training Centre. Local children with special needs also attend these schools. We also provide healthcare to the local community from our SOS Medical Centre. In 2006, SOS Children's Villages won the 'Best NGO' prize in India for our work with special needs children.
Kolkata (Calcutta)
In 1977 an SOS Children's Village was built in Kolkata (Calcutta), eastern India. The Village has family houses, a playground and a sick bay, which is also used by the community. In 1991 SOS Youth Homes were added to the Village, and later on, a home for retired SOS mothers was also built. We also run an SOS family support programme in Kolkata.
Latur is in the central state of Maharashtra and was at the epicentre of the 1993 earthquake. An immediate SOS Emergency Relief Programme in the area was followed by the construction of an SOS Children's Village for children orphaned by the disaster. The Latur community has family houses, an SOS Youth Home, and an SOS Social Centre.
SOS Children's Village Nagapattinam in south-eastern India was built in response to the number of children orphaned by the Boxing Day Tsunami. The area was severely affected by the waves and many children lost their parents.
Puducherry, not far from Nagapattinam, is where our first Indian tsunami village was built. SOS Children's Village Puducherry (Pondicherry) has family homes for orphaned children and it also runs a community programme, which mainly targets women who were widowed by the tsunami.

Visakhapatnam is in the Andhra Pradesh state, an area that was devastated by a cyclone in 1996 in which many children were orphaned. The SOS Children's Village in Visakhapatnam, which opened in 1998, has family houses. We also run a family support programme here to support vulnerable families.
Sirisha and Amita's story
When Sirisha and Amita's mother was killed in the 2004 tsunami, they were left with no-one to look after them. The sisters had been living in Akkampetai, a fishing community in South India that was devastated by the tidal wave.
Fortunately, an SOS Children's Village in Puducherry offered the girls a loving home and the special care they needed.
It was soon clear that the girls, aged nine and ten, suffered great trauma from loosing their mother and seeing the local area destroyed. Sirisha and Amita were quiet and sensitive when they first arrived at the SOS Children's Village, and unlike other children they didn't talk or play with anyone.
With special counselling provided by SOS Children's Villages, and loving support from their SOS family, they gradually overcame their traumatic experiences. The girls started going to school, integrating with the SOS community, and became involved in their new routine.
Their SOS mother played a crucial role in their recovery, by making them feel wanted and loved. She said,
"The girls were very sad, especially Sirisha. She would often talk about her family and her mother. It was not easy for me to help her overcome her trauma and get her into a normal routine. I always talked positively with them about their future, their school and tried to involve them in different activities. I made sure that they were not left alone and I was always with them".
With the continued support of SOS Children's Villages, Sirisha and Amita are now doing really well. They are very close, and Sirisha likes to take care of her little sister, Amita. Both are working hard at school - Amita is even top of her class. Like children around the world they enjoy all kinds of activities in their spare time. They especially love dancing, skipping and playing chess.
We are so thrilled to be a part of Sirisha and Amita's story, and to help them to regain a happy and healthy childhood. Will you support our work today, and sponsor a child in India?

Welcome to our new game, Build Your Own Sacrament Meeting Talk Analogy, where we give you the vignette, and you make the analogy. There are no rules, except the regular blogging ones, but the winner gets Kiskilili's astrally projected soul speaking Ugaritik on their home answering machine or voicemail.
Here are three stories, situations, and scenarios for your first round. Pick one, two, or all, and give us a gospel analogy for the situation we describe. Aim for creative and unexpected readings of the situations; the more allegorical acrobatics you display, the better. Extra points if you write in your very best Sac-Meet-talk-style, e.g., phrases like "tender mercy" and extraneous use of "unto" are encouraged.
1. Yesterday, Lady Amalthea and I hiked most of Timpanogos. Today, neither of us can walk very well, but I'm doing better than she is, given that she fell on a rock halfway down and sprained her ankle. Her injury meant that coming down the mountain took even longer than going up, since she was unimpressed by my suggestion that I just push her down the rest of the mountain to speed things up a little. (I mean, she was hurt anyway . . . ) It's sad that she's barely mobile, but unfortunately, I can't stop making fun of her. This is ironic as well as mean, given that my post-hike hobbling is proving more efficient than hers, but not any more graceful.
What gospel application would you make? (Remember, you'll only get minimal points for "This is an example of why we should be nicer to our gimpy friends," but more if you can make this an illustration of the oath and covenant of the priesthood.)
2. "Chthonophagia" refers to a disease or syndrome characterized by the compulsive consumption of dirt. It comes from the Greek roots chthonos, "earth," and phagia, "eating." It has roughly 10,500 hits on Google, and is attested in print at least as early as 1835, in The progressive dictionary of the English language. Despite all this, the word does not appear in the supposedly comprehensive, though often conservative, Oxford English Dictionary, which does include the words "bootylicious" and "LOL."
What spiritual insight can you glean from this apparent lexicographical oversight?
3. In the video game Dragon Age, the protagonist arrives at a temple looking for a dead prophet. There, you meet eight ghosts, who pose riddles about big moral and metaphysical concepts like envy, mercy, and justice; if you get them right, you find out the mortal identity of the ghost, but if you gets the riddle wrong, the ghost turns into a monster and pounces. The temple is further inhabited by ghosts from your past and by evil apparitions of you and your friends, all of whom you have to kill to to keep going. Eventually, to get through the whole thing, you have to take off all your clothes and walk through a wall of fire.
Is this about modesty, casting off the natural (wo)man, the philosophies of men, or maybe just a secret code for using the wholesome herbs of the earth and eating meat sparingly?

- Artist: The Coil of Sihn
- Genre: Heavy Metal
- Release Date: 5/15/2007
Through Sid Andruska in the July 2005 issue of Playback Magazine had this to say: 'Rossi, frontman for COS, has released his third album, Through, which resembles a dark orchestra comprised of six macabre overtures. If you love the lowly crooning of the late Ian Curtis from Joy Division, you'll enjoy COS; Rossi's vocals are a dead-on match, especially in "Dream (Not a Monster remix)," although he doesn't showcase his voice on all songs. Occasionally, he allows the music to speak for itself. In "HalfLife (30 Giger Clicks remix)," his vocals become faint, like a subliminal message or tiny ghost. Raw and compelling, the entire album leaves you wanting more, much like foreplay with no sex. Oh, the glorious torture! COS's sound, although unique by today's standards, conjures fond recollections of early Ministry and KMFDM with hints of Nine Inch Nails throughout. The pulsating groove of synthesizer beats, blended with a cornucopia of voice clips from various movies, relay Rossi's story, as if his life were a dramatic motion picture or a horror flick, depending on your perspective. The first song, "Trial," is one such example, which begins with an audio clip of a woman tearfully recounting a brutal, sexual attack and all the repulsive details therein; her pain is foreshadowed by the eerie and tumid vibrations of Rossi's background music. Not until the second song does Rossi unveil his lyrical genius. His creative reign over the entire album induces some extraordinary highs and lows, like riding the wave of a wild acid trip. Lay back and submit until the demons have left the room, and watch out for theflashbacks. Or so I've heard. Expect nothing less from this album.'

CD Scandal: Sanjay Joshi breathes easy
March 31, 2006 20:52 IST
It was the surprise birthday gift for Sanjay Joshi. The clean chit given by Madhya Pradesh police on Thursday to the former Bharatiya Janata Party functionary in the CD scandal probably could not have come at a better time.
However,�Joshi was reluctant to be in the media glare in his moment of glory. When newsmen reached his residence, they were literally shooed away by the family members, saying that Sanjay Joshi did not live there. It was only when the senior BJP leaders�arrived to greet Joshi that the family let the media in. Even then, it took some coaxing from the reporters before Joshi obliged with a short statement.
The fact that the CD surfaced on the eve of the BJP's silver jubilee celebrations was an indication that it was an attempt to put the party and the RSS to disrepute, he added.
Asked if he would accept any post in the RSS or the BJP again, Joshi said he was ready to accept any responsibility in the past, and will be so in the future as well.

Mellow Yellow Monday #37: Favorite Spot
The Wonderland is the favorite spot at the mall where my nieces and nephew would like to go every time we go to the mall. They love to play because there are many toys and learning toys for seven – ten years old. We will just leave them there for us to do the grocery fast.
Before we leave them there, I took a photo of my two years old nephew enjoying himself. He loves to play alone most of the time because his two sisters always tease him and makes him cry.

There are huge wheat losses in the Eurasian grainbelt, spanning Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine, due to the drought and searing heat this Summer. This area ranks in the top three source-regions for world wheat exports, so its crop problems automatically constitute a global disaster. Overall, world wheat output in 2011 was estimated to be 695 million tons, but this year, the global harvest may come in at far less, at 663 million metric tons, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which notoriously overstates the situation.
The Black Sea grainbelt harvests are still underway, but the dimensions of losses are clear. On Aug. 31, the Russian Agricultural Ministry will meet on the situation.
The total Russian grain crop (all types) is now forecast to be only 75 million tons, down 27% from 94 million tons grown last year. This year's Russian wheat harvest — the largest of its grains — may fall even below that of 2010, when 41.5 million tons were produced, necessitating a ban on exports. Last year's Russian wheat harvest was 56.2 million tons.
In Kazakhstan, the wheat harvest for 2012 may come in at 11 million tons, when in contrast, last year it came in at 22.7 million tons—a record year. In the 2010 drought year, Kazakh wheat fell to 9.7 million tons.
In Ukraine, the wheat harvest may not reach 15 million tons, down from 22 million last year, and even below 16.8 million in 2010. All Ukraine crops were drought-stressed this season, with yield losses, including, besides wheat and barley, corn, soybeans, and sunflowers.
Wildfires are a danger in Altai Territory and elsewhere, under the dry-tinder conditions. Anthrax outbreaks have occurred. In Ukraine, health officials are intervening to contain an outbreak.
In Altai, in south Siberia, anthrax infections have been geographically localized in two villages, but 13 people have required hospitalization, over suspected exposure to anthrax, with three of those cases confirmed anthrax poisoning so far. One died. The village of Druzhba, population 740, is quarantined, and all inhabitants being examined. Vaccination has started. The dryness is a contributing factor to anthrax, whose spores can remain dormant in soil for years, and then infect grazing animals, when they close crop during drought. If farmers don't have the husbandry knowledge or resources to properly dispose of dead infected animals, the disease spreads.

The team at CBC Kitchener-Waterloo held our inaugural Sounds of the Season show on Friday in support of local food banks.
The Ontario Association of Food Banks says 375,789 people made use of a food bank in the province this March - more than one-third of whom were children.
That's more than nine-tenths of the number that used food banks in the previous March, when a record high of 412,998 was recorded.

PHOENIX (AP) - Under a $950 million project preliminarily approved this week, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will extend its automated train service to the rental-car center and add gates at Terminal 4.
The projects will be funded with existing passenger fees, other airport revenue and bonds and be completed by 2021.
Forecasts call for 48 million passengers at Sky Harbor in 2021, up about 9 percent from 44 million last year.
Terminal 4 currently has 83 gates. A new, eight-gate concourse in Terminal 4 has also been on the table since the terminal opened in 1990.
Airport officials say it's needed now to accommodate airlines' larger planes and reduce passenger congestion in the terminals.
The aviation advisory board unanimously approved the Sky Harbor plan. It now goes to the Phoenix City Council.

Behind the scene - INTERVIEW WITH BORIS GOLUBOVIC, the Tournament Director (by Adolivo Capece)
- How and when did you get involved with the organization of the World Senior Championship?
Last year the Rijeka Chess Club organized the European Championship. It was a great event and everybody said that it was one of the best European ever. I played at the Championship, but I was also in the organizing team managed by the former president of the Rijeka Chess Club, Mr. Damir Vrhovnik. A few months ago, owing to personal reasons, Mr Vrhovnik had to withdraw and he proposed me for the President of the club. I accepted the position and among other things I inherited the organization of the World Senior Championship. I want to thank Mr. Vrhovnik and also GM Miso Cebalo, who succeeded in winning the contest to get this event from FIDE, for their precious help and support that allowed me to work in the best atmosphere.
But it is quite different to live an event as a player and as organizer; you have to consider everything from another point of view and it is necessary to work hard to be sure that all the details are covered in the best way. I had a great help while I was getting involved in the organization - almost the same team that operated in the European Championship last year, young women and men of high-quality instruction and very professional. I want to thank all of them for their wonderful work, and in particular GM Vlado Kovacevic who is taking care of the comments on the website. Moreover thanks to you for your job as press officer.
- Thank you very much; it was a great honour for me to work with the Rijeka team! But now let us find out something more about you: you are the youngest president of a chess club in Croatia. When did you learn to play chess?
I was about 10 years old. I learned to play in school owing to a teacher who was a player. Then I started to go to the club. I became junior champion U-15 and after that junior champion U-19. I got the title International Master in 1997 and played for our national team in European Team championship (Leon, 2001) and in Mitropa Cup four times. I played many tournaments; I won for example the tournament in Trieste in 2004.
Now, above all for working reasons, I cannot play often; still I do sometimes for my club team. Moreover four month ago I became the father of Lana and I think that this is the best event in my life … for the moment!
- What is your feeling about this championship?
I am very satisfied - for the number of players and for high technical quality, with many GMs and IMs and many players that made the history of chess. The female championship broke the record of participants (40 players) and we have representatives from all the 5 continents, in total 44 countries. This is the first World Championship played in Croatia and I believe that our Chess Federation and local political authorities are happy with the result. Both the Lord Major of Opatija, Ivo Dujmic, and the president of our Federation, Styepan Sturlan, attended the opening ceremony. We have a great number of people visiting our website every day and following the games live: we already have more than 100.000 single visitors and more than 50 websites all over the world following the event daily. Moreover many Croatian players are fighting for the first positions and this is important for our country.
- So you want to go on with the organization of chess events?
Yes, sure! I would like Opatija to be considered a 'chess destination' for all the chess players in the world.
We tried to organize the European Chess Club Cup in 2012, but FIDE assigned it to another country. We also make an offer to organize again the Senior World Champion, we will see.
The Rijeka Chess Club is well known in Croatia – it is almost the only club that takes care of the organization of events and tournaments. Next year it will be the first centenary of the foundation of our chess Federation and we will have many appointments, for example a round robin GM Tournament, the Summer open at the end of Jun and the traditional 'Mediterranean' in November. Chess lovers will find the complete calendar on our website (www.rijekachess.com) and I am sure that many of them will come – or come back again – to Opatija. The town is very nice, hotels are not expansive, there is a possibility to organize nice walks and excursions, the weather is beautiful in summer and in winter; so chess players can come with their wives, husbands and relatives who will enjoy the town while they are playing!
- The last question, concerning your Federation. What about young players?
The Croatian Chess Federation is working hard to increase the game of chess all over our country and in particular among young generations. We are trying to get an agreement with our political authorities to have chess in schools but this project needs some time; for the moment the main work is done by chess clubs. A few years ago we had a strong young champion, Ivan Saric, who won the European Junior Championship 2007 and the World Junior Championship 2008. Now we have 5 players (3 girls and 2 boys) in the World Junior Championship in Brazil; we hope that they will become champions in the future!

On my tractor I would guess it was decades since the filter was cleaned and there was very little debris in it. I just rinsed it out with lacquer thinner and blew it out with compressed air.

This week was an example of how you just have to be flexible sometimes and remember that your legs don't know that it's Monday or Tuesday or Thursday. We had an unexpected number of guests this week for various reasons and it meant that our house was a crazy, upside-down circus for much of the weekend. It's also the last week of the class I've been TAing this summer, so I spent a huge amount of time preparing them for that. Hoping for a slightly less crazy week this week!
Monday: 6 mile recovery run with 4 flying 150s. Chest and Back lift afterward.
Tuesday: 10.4 mile run with LT.
Wednesday: Off day, prorated at 10.4 miles. Hadn't had one in 13 days, so it was time.
Thursday: 8 by 800 at I pace. Not my most focused workout but tried to tell myself "just 2 laps" when I'd come around on my recovery lap. Lifted legs heavy after. Pretty darn tired. Total of 10.4 miles plus the run home from the gym.
Friday: 8.5 mile recovery run and arms at the gym.
Saturday: 8 mile run. Wish I'd had more time but had to TA for most of the day. Psyched to get up early and get this in.
Sunday: 9.2 miles. Glad I didn't force my long run. Hot weather + Brewfest + crazy house + TAing all weekend = totally dead legs.
Total: 63 miles
I didn't get a long run in this week, which is frustrating, but I'll do it this afternoon (also frustrating but I have to proctor all day) and hope the heat doesn't ruin me too much. I did lift three times, which is more than I've done in a while, so I'm glad to be getting back on track with that. Hoping for 80 to 90 minute runs this week on normal days, 90 to 100 minute workouts and a solid long run, probably on Friday, before the Cougar Chase on Saturday and our departure for San Diego on Sunday.
How was your week of training? How do you deal with unexpected schedule glitches?

On Sunday 14th October, I was in Mijas Pueblo with my husband and sister, walking along a tree-lined path, when something hit my husband from above. It was brown and unpleasant looking and my sister and I immediately thought it had come from a bird up above. A small man appeared and told my husband he could show him where the toilets were. The man was clean, looked like a tourist and sounded South American. My husband followed him and we went after them, but when my husband came out of the gents without his shirt on (which he had rinsed out) he wanted to go to the first shop to buy a teeshirt to cover himself. When he opened his wallet to pay he realised what had just happened. He had been robbed. 530 (extra cash to pay a builder the next day) had been taken from his wallet and the wallet had been returned.
Three days later, a neighbour told us that the same thing had happened to his friend in Benalmádena, but this time the man (with the same description) took him to a toilet in a restaurant. There seems to be a group of three, with at least one woman (whom we saw in the public toilets in Mijas Pueblo).
I feel that more people on the Costa del Sol need to be made aware of these scams. Thank you.
