- The hyper-involved (very small group overall)
- The untapped potential.
- The uninvolved (the overwhelming majority)
Uninvolved - The vast majority of the citizens, the best bet is to deliver outstanding services to them when they need them, professionally manage the government for them and be good stewards of their tax dollars. Oh, and leave them alone.
Untapped Potential - A small but hopefully manageable group. Stop for a moment and consider the thoughts of the first leader I mentioned. Ask yourself a key question - to what degree does your organization believe that involving citizens make them better able to design and deliver services? The answer to the question guides how you approach the residents in the middle.
- Change - You will have to do something different to find and involve them. Otherwise, they would already be involved. This is the hardest part. For example if you have been having public meetings for 100 years and all of a sudden you want to have an e-town hall to broaden the participation, expect some pushback.
- Citizen Terms - If you want them involved, you will have to make it on their terms. Go where they are, when it is convenient for them, demonstrate that you understand them. Don't expect them to attend a public hearing during bath time. Don't send a english-only speaker to a latino neighborhood event. Show up at the soccer field to ask survey questions. Do they all have smartphones? Are they on Facebook? Meet them there.
- Choose Wisely - Pick areas to involve them in. Don't ask for feedback on topics that won't change as a result of the engagement! In other words, don't waste their time. Pick topics where you will be prepared to demonstrate what you received in terms of feedback and what you did with it. This is extremely important. If you want to build an involved base of "the middle" citizens, show them that their opinions matter.

Our main aim is to make a tribute to long lasting social development in Thailand. With all our projects and activities DaLaa creates opportunities where volunteers and local people work, live and enjoy together. The aims are realising the projects and to experience different cultures. An unforgettable experience and enrichment for all participants. Therefore we focus on three main aims:
– Support
– Friendship
– Preservation
With our projects and activities we want to support local people, work together with already existing (local) projects and activities.
For example:
– helping with construction work: building a classroom, clean water supply
– helping with taking care of people: extra attention for orphans, sick or handicapped people
– support economical/ecological activities: OTOP (One Tambon, One Product), starting recycling bank, use second hand things
We will work with Thai volunteers, international volunteers and local people. While working together on the projects we want to develop relationships all over the world and between people from different religious and cultural backgrounds. We want to create more mutual understanding and reduce prejudices. Also by sharing information, ideas and different ways of working and doing things, we can learn from each other.
For example:
– besides working together, we also organise educational activities: workshops, discussions and seminars (sharing information, awareness and prevention, explanation)
– teaching activities: English, sports, arts, environment
In our projects and activities we also want to take care of the nature of Thailand and the world, work in an environmental friendly way and preserve Thai culture.
For example:
– agricultural projects: not using chemicals
– environmental projects: awareness of garbage-problem, recycling bank
– creative activities: learning local handicraft and art, like batik and pottery

Once in the limo, the drive was fairly silent, save for Jarod making jokes with Ai and Mai. I was honestly a bit surprised about how Duncan seemed fine now with the idea of his sisters flirting with Jarod. Did something happen between the two that I missed? Perhaps he wasn't quite okay with the idea, and stared at me now in an attempt to ignore them. I, myself, was attempting to ignore how Alma lightly gripped my arm. My attempts to understand why Alma did the things she did were completely unsuccessful. I didn't really get why she was floating and burning a hole in my yard the other night. If she hadn't, I wouldn't have learned of the fey in the forest, so I was as grateful as I was confused. What did she really think of me? She was a very stern, unforgiving teacher in both martial arts and magic, yet she so often wanted to hold my hand with a feather touch. Did she really like my company, or was she wanting to possess me, to control me? I realized I was staring at her auburn hair, how the light brought out the red at the right angles, when Alma looked up at me curiously. Again I found myself amazed at how vibrantly violet her eyes were. Light playing off her hair was dazzling, but the light reflecting off her eyes was a far more entrancing sight. If she actually was interested in me, why? I couldn't fathom this strange, beautiful girl with seemingly endless strengths really finding me interesting at all. She had to be affected by my magic to some extent.
In an effort to derail that line of thinking, I turned to Duncan and asked "Since you'll be with us longer, I was wondering if there was anywhere which you wanted to visit? I'd feel remiss as a host if I didn't manage to spend some time with you away from my home." Duncan seemed to consider for a moment before saying, "Thank you for the consideration, but I have seen more wonders in your home than I ever would in the city. I simply wish to visit that remarkable forest and see the creatures within at least once before I go." I nodded and said, "I'm sure we can manage, though my secretary will likely require a contract. The creatures there are quite rare and precious." Duncan seemed uncomfortable when I mentioned Aaliyah. How much did he know about her? "I see. I'll have to discuss this with my family after I peruse the documents then." he told me. "I found the contract to be pretty standard fare for her, Duncan." stated Alma as she gave him a small smile. If anything, he looked more uncomfortable as he nodded and said, "I see." Alma's smiles were such rare treasures that I didn't understand how he couldn't be comforted. Despite the time spent with her now, I had yet to find the slightest imperfection in her skin. Her eyelashes were perfectly long and curved. Even after eating, her teeth were completely white, as if the food wouldn't dare to stick to her. I was amazed that she ever passed for human.
I wished I would've had the sense to find out more about what mother thought when she met Alma. I wasn't precisely happy at the time though. "Did mother ever finish that painting for you, Alma?" I asked, wondering if we might pick it up. "Yes. Her talent is quite extraordinary. I was very impressed by her work." replied Alma. "Oh, so you've already picked it up? Mother never mentioned that you stopped by again." I told her, somewhat disappointed. She turned away from me, releasing my arm as she said, "No, I haven't. I made arrangements for her to hold onto the painting for now, as I don't feel the timing is right to have it publicly displayed. Ah. Let's have a stroll through the park, since we have some time. I do like this one." The weather was quite nice, but I was more interested in why Alma would commission a painting and not hang it in her wing. The place was hardly public. Even I hadn't seen half of the rooms yet, and I owned the estate. Mila had pulled over and opened the door, so I stepped out of the car and offered Alma my hand. Then I found myself wondering if Alma had meant for the painting to go back to her home in England, so as we walked, I asked "What is your home in England like?" She seemed surprised, but told me "My father owns a castle, but I wouldn't really call it my home. I only visited the place a few dozen times in my life. I should go see father again soon." I wondered for a moment if she misunderstood the question, but I was also really curious about her father. Then I found myself worrying about how long Alma would be away.
After considering for a moment, I decided to stick with the safer of the questions, so I asked "Where did you call home then?" Alma shrugged as she said, "No where, really. Up until coming here, I spent most of my life traveling. At first, I was traveling with my mother and learning the family trade. Then I took over. Mother probably wouldn't have approved of me staying here this long, but Adelmar, my cousin, does." The name seemed familiar to me. "Wait. Was Adelmar the one who sent the tiara to Aaliyah as a birthday present?" I asked. Alma nodded and said, "I do apologize about that spell I used on you. I hadn't meant for you to feel unwell, but that spell affected you differently than it should have. I'm guessing your magic threw things off a bit. Otherwise, I would have stayed longer." I stared at her in shock as I said, "You were the one who delivered the tiara? I suppose that makes sense, given that the tiara looks extremely valuable. Why would your cousin give something like that to a young girl?" Alma stopped walking for a moment to stare up at me. Then she resumed walking as she told me "I do wish I could explain. I am sorry, James, but I am privy to a great many things which I cannot share, at least not yet. Hopefully, someday. Hopefully, soon." She reached up and firmly squeezed my hand, and then held it with a touch as soft as silk resting against my skin.
Alma and I continued talking as we walked, but our conversation quickly became engulfed by our plans in Ancient Tribes of Earth. Having a massive guild, we needed extremely large-scale events to keep our guild members entertained and focused as a group. Alma seemed to have given the possibilities a great deal of thought, and I was swept away in her enthusiasm until she suddenly announced that we best be off. The journey to the gala ― I found that there would be entertainment as well when I looked at the invitation ― was far too short for all of the thoughts bouncing around my head to gain any sort of order. I had so very much to do for my guild members and my friends. I felt a bit overwhelmed as I tried figuring out what I could manage. Alma would help though, and my secretary's organizational skills were unmatched. Whatever happened, I'd do my best for everyone. I truly hated to let anyone down if I could help it.
I helped Alma out of the car and smiled as I saw Jarod doing the same for Mai. She was clinging to his arm a moment later as Duncan and Ai came out. Merely a couple years ago, I found black tie events extremely stuffy, despite the entertainment. Luckily, my parents only encouraged me to go to a few at Regina's request. I should have tried harder to enjoy myself with her, despite feeling forced into the situations, but there was no way I could have known how quickly I'd lose her. This one was going to be different though. My best friend was with me, and the event was hosted by someone we knew to be a villain. Not everyone could claim to have waltzed into a villain's gala and helped countless children. Intentionally or not, Maxine set us up to be heroes today by contributing to something truly worthwhile. Plus, I would make a point to enjoy my company as well as the entertainment provided today. After handing off our invitations, we were guided inside to our seats where we found Chad and Aaliyah already seated at the same table. Chad rose and greeted Alma and I before we sat. Then he bowed to Duncan and greeted him in Japanese. Jarod said something to him in Italian, which made Chad laugh. Chad was always so cheerful that I felt people had to enjoy his company. If I was fluent in anything beyond English, I might have attempted being a translator. I needed to give my company's courses on languages a shot, seeing as how they worked so well for Jarod.
My parents joined us not long after, and I wondered if Aaliyah simply neglected to inform me that they'd be joining us. We all chatted for a while before the lights dimmed and the stage lit up. Maxine greeted everyone, welcoming us to her gala and explaining how the auctioning was to work. Then curtains rose behind her, revealing the first band as she was guided offstage. After some music, we toured through the items going up for the silent auction as well as the live auction. When we arrived at my donation, Aaliyah let slip that I was wanting mother to come see my vault, though I didn't remember telling the diminutive girl about that plan. Father was intrigued by the notion as well. I was thankful that Aaliyah didn't let slip in front of father that I failed to look over my inventory until recently. In fact, she made things sound like the items down there were recently discovered instead of found, as she had recently informed me, shortly after my purchase of the estate. The "old clothes" that Alma was donating turned out to be the wedding dress of some noblewoman from the 1700s. Given the obvious gems and age, I was surprised the dress wasn't in a museum. Aaliyah's longrifle was documented to be the very weapon used for the assassination of the noblewoman whose dress was up for auction, though Alma didn't react to the news. There were many strange, but valuable, items available.
After another performance, we all were eating dinner to the sound of a string quartet when half of the table closest to us left in a hurry. News quickly spread around the room of a robbery that took place across town where a "robot" tore through a bank and stole safe deposit boxes. I quickly looked over to where Maxine was seated, but she was still there, as calm as could be. I looked questioningly at Jarod, but he was staring in Maxine's direction. I couldn't catch his eye. Did Maxine have a partner, or was there someone else with similar technology? I really, really wanted to talk with Jarod about so much, but I needed to find a way to get him alone for some of it. "James? What's so funny?" asked Alma after I started laughing to myself. "Nothing, really. I'm sorry. Life just has so many unexpected turns." I told her as I finished sending a text to Aaliyah, so she could arrange hiring Jarod as my "Best Friend" for later tonight. Alma was still looking at me quizzically, so I squeezed her hand and assured her that I just realized how easy finding time could be, which didn't seem to abate her curiosity in the least. Moments later, I received a notice on my phone from Aaliyah, saying Jarod was scheduled. Then I caught Jarod staring at me like I was crazy with his phone in hand. Life was really strange at times.

Thomas W. Copeland Papers, 1923-1984
22 boxes (10 linear ft.)
Collection number: FS 050
A scholar of eighteenth century British literature and culture, Thomas W. Copeland began what would become more than half a century of research on the statesman and political philosopher Edmund Burke while studying for his doctorate at Yale (1933). After publication of his dissertation in 1949 as Our Eminent Friend Edmund Burke, Copeland was named managing editor of the ten-volume Correspondence (1958-1978). After academic appointments at Yale and the University of Chicago, he joined the faculty at UMass in 1957, remaining here until his retirement in 1976. A chair was established in his name in the Department of English.
The Copeland Papers are a rich collection of personal and professional correspondence, journals and writings from Copeland's Yale years, manuscripts, typescripts, notes, and draft revisions of his works on Edmund Burke, and a journal chronicling Copeland's four-year exercise in the daily practice of writing.

Jeff Teague pitched in 20 points and 12 assists for the Timberwolves, who swept the four-game season series and sent the weary Clippers to their fourth consecutive loss on the commencement of a four-game, six-night trip.
Jamal Crawford scored 20 points and Taj Gibson had 15 points and eight rebounds as the Timberwolves pushed their lead over the Clippers (37-33) to three games. With five losses in their last seven games, the Wolves (41-31) had fallen into eighth place in the Western Conference. Denver (38-33) is in ninth.
DeAndre Jordan led the way for the Clippers with 18 points and 12 rebounds, but Tobias Harris played with flu-like symptoms and finished with only 10 points on 5-for-16 shooting, missing all five of his 3-point tries. Lou Williams and Sean Kilpatrick each had 15 points off the bench.
Neither team led by more than six points until the Wolves awoke early in the third quarter and used a 13-0 run to build a 72-59 advantage.
Just as they did on Sunday night to make a noncompetitive matchup Houston close in the waning minutes after the Rockets agitated them with some rough stuff, the Wolves snapped back when the Clippers engaged them in some extra-physical play. Towns took his share of hard contact underneath by the much burlier Jordan and Montrezl Harrell. Gibson and Teague each had blood drawn by inadvertent elbows or forearms to the face.
Wiggins went 3-for-3 from 3-point range in the third, and he also matched his career high with three blocks while displaying energy and hustle on both ends of the floor. Wiggins has scored 20 or more points in nine of his last 11 games, going 21-for-45 from 3-point range in that span.
The Clippers have recovered deftly from their 8-15 start, their record after a 113-107 loss at home to the Timberwolves on Dec. 6, and withstood the departure via trade of former franchise cornerstone Blake Griffin, but they've left themselves with no room in this postseason race for even a mini-slump.
Coach Doc Rivers lamented his team's depleted roster before the game, with a total of 219 games missed by 11 players who've been injured. That includes 16 absences by Griffin but most notably still-missing Danilo Gallinari (51 games), Patrick Beverley (59 games) and Avery Bradley (14 games).
''Every day it seems like something else,'' Rivers said.
The Timberwolves have the schedule in their favor in their quest to make the playoffs for the first time in 14 years, with eight of their final 10 games against teams below the cut for the postseason. They play Denver, one of their closest competitors, twice. But there are six other matchups against opponents whose next drama will be the draft lottery.
The Clippers have 12 games left, with nine against teams on a postseason track plus one against the Nuggets. This matchup in Minnesota began a stretch of six out of seven games on the road.
Denver also has a difficult remaining 11-game slate, with only two matchups, Wednesday at Chicago and April 7 at the Clippers, coming against opponents currently outside the top eight in either conference. The Nuggets, too, have five stops left on a seven-game road trip to finish the month.
Clippers: Jordan's streak of 15 or more rebounds ended at 10 straight games, which matched the longest run of his career and the most by any active NBA player. ... Harrell, who had 24 points against Portland on Sunday and was in double digits in 24 of his last 30 games, had nine points on 3-for-9 shooting.
Timberwolves: Derrick Rose, who had nine points in six minutes, sprained his right ankle in the second quarter and didn't return. Rose, who joined the team less than two weeks ago, had 14 points in 19 minutes against the Rockets. ... The Wolves are 9-3 when Teague has 20 or more points. ... The Wolves improved to 30-15 against the Western Conference this season. They've swept the Clippers two other times in franchise history, in 1997-98 and 2003-04.
Clippers: At Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
Timberwolves: At New York on Friday night.

William J.L. Sladen
Dr. William "Bill" J. L. Sladen, a scientist and conservationist known worldwide for long-term behavioral studies of Arctic and Antarctic birds, particularly Adelie penguins and North American native swans, died Monday, May 29, 2017, at his Warrenton home. He was 96.
Dr. Sladen's 50 years in waterfowl research included work in Alaska, Western Europe (including Lapland and Iceland) and Wrangel Island, Siberia. He pioneered techniques in capture, circumpolar marking and radio-telemetry. In the 1970s, he defined the 8,000-mile roundtrip migration route of the Tundra Swan as a part of a team advising the Air Force and FAA on bird hazards to aircraft. A strong advocate of long-term research, he sometimes commuted between sites of his different ongoing projects in both the Arctic and Antarctic. He filmed Adelie penguins extensively, both for science and to reach a wider public. His film, "Penguin City," first aired by CBS in 1971 and narrated by Charles Kuralt, documented the day-to-day lives of Adelie penguins for a popular audience.
Dr. Sladen moved to Fauquier County in 1990, after retiring from a teaching career at Johns Hopkins University. He founded the research, education and conservation organization Environmental Studies on the Piedmont, a 914-acre field station, just north of Warrenton. Until his retirement as its director, it was his base for continued studies of migratory patterns of trumpeter swans and attempts to restore those birds, destroyed by hunters in the last century, to their traditional East Coast wintering grounds.
In the 1980s, Sladen collaborated with Canadian Bill Lishman in an experiment to train Canada geese to fly behind ultralight aircraft, hoping the technique might be used to teach safer migration routes to Trumpeter swans and other endangered waterfowl. In 1993, the first successful experiment, a flight of 18 Canada geese, imprinted on ultralight aircraft left Canada behind two ultralights, landing four days later at the Airlie Conference Center. The experiment led to the Hollywood film, "Fly Away Home."
Born in England and trained in medicine, Dr. Sladen first traveled to Antarctica in 1948 as medical officer and biologist for a small team of researchers at Hope Bay, a remote blizzard-swept base on the Antarctic Peninsula operated by Britain's Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. He sledged with dogs between study areas and was once spent 17 days alone there, living in a tent, after a fire destroyed the base hut, killing his companions.
"Bill Sladen was a true scientist-adventurer, one foot in the heroic age of Antarctic exploration and the other in the newly fledging world of modern ecology," said one of his former students.
After coming to the U.S. in 1956, Dr. Sladen taught comparative behavior and ecology to graduate students at Johns Hopkins' University (now Bloomberg) School of Public Health. He continued long-term Antarctic ornithological research, largely funded by the National Science Foundation, mostly in company with his students. He worked extensively with the U.S. Antarctic Research program as part of the International Geophysical Year (Operation Deepfreeze). A bacteriologist by training, he gained expertise in diseases of wild birds and other wildlife and was widely consulted by zoos. In 1964 he was the first to discover DDT residues in Antarctic penguins and seals thus helping to demonstrate the global reach of this long-lasting pesticide.
In the 1980s, as the Cold War ended, Dr. Sladen played key roles in promoting US/USSR cooperation in migratory bird studies, particularly snow geese. He personally escorted a pair of trumpeter swans to Russia as a gift from the U.S. government.
Conservation was a lifelong dedication. He was instrumental in preservation of key natural areas in Maryland and a founding director of The Wildfowl Trust of North America at Grasonville, Md. For many years he waged a relentless campaign to stop the legal hunting of swans in Virginia.
Dr. Sladen held two medical degrees, MB, BS and MD (London), and a DPhil (PhD) in zoology (Oxford). He has published more 120 scientific papers. He was the founding chair of the Baltimore Zoological Society (now Zoological Society of Maryland); a founder of the Wildfowl Trust of North America in Grasonville, Md.; a founding member and president the Antarctican Society.
His awards included Member of the British Empire (MBE) from King George VI, the Polar Medal from Queen Elizabeth II, and the 1991 Explorers Medal (Explorers Club, N.Y.). Two mountains in Antarctica are named after him. Deeply devoted throughout his life to botany, he made collections for the British Museum and Smithsonian from Macedonia, Siberia, Alaska, Falkland Islands and Antarctica.
Survivors include his wife, Jocelyn Sladen of Warrenton; two children, Hugh Sladen of Glen Rock, Pa., and Kate Adelie Sladen Bush of Boulder, Colo.; two grandchildren, and a former wife, Brenda Macpherson Sladen of Glen Rock, Pa.
A memorial service will take place at a later date.

This brilliant scientist's pursuit of knowledge advanced wildlife protection and preservation on several continents. I was privileged to witness the landing of Canada geese behind an ultralight aircraft at Airlie. One of my favorite memories of Dr. Sladen occurred at a dinner meeting at Airlie. The person sitting beside me asked what the billiken I was wearng was made of. I said, "oosik, a bone of a prehistoric walrus." From the other end of the table, where I was surprised Dr Sladen could hear, he boomed a more specific answer and then smiled at my embarrassment. As often was the case around Dr. Sladen, the entire table learned something. He was a fascinating man. Sally Murray

Dr. Sladen was an incredible human being. One of a kind, and not many left in this world like him. Thank you for all your work and perseverance.

Roger Federer skipped the French Open clay to focus acutely on Wimbledon after what he described as a "magical start" to the season. Federer shocked everyone but himself by winning the Australian Open in January — his 18th Grand Slam. He followed up that win too with a top-tier victory at Indian Wells before shutting it down to prepare for Wimbledon. Federer's focus combined with his 2017 form makes him a mere (and astonishing) 2-1 favorite to win Wimbledon at the All England Club.
The next best odds belong to defending champion and UK native Andy Murray at 4-1. Despite Murray's standing as the local hero, he may not enjoy much of an advantage even among fans over Federer, the darling of Wimbledon and a consummate competitor in his twilight, looking for his 8th win on the summer grass. Federer last won Wimbledon in 2012. His 2017 victory at the Australian came after a 7 year drought, having last won there in 2010.

Disparate lives , making their way , wary and unsure through an ever-changing and unstable environment. Behind our facade is desperate clinging and violent flailing in self defense against the myriad of attacks , both physical and emotional , that this world is made of. We wear our masks and sloth through.
Our protections are imaginary and easily pierced. Our pain is palpable and our ignorance is omnipresent.

How do we know we have chosen the right surrogate for us?
The coordinators at Baby Bump Journeys are very good at matching you with your perfect surrogate. We strive to get to know each individual in our program in order to make sure the match will be comfortable throughout the journey.
What happens after the delivery of the child(ren)?
Prior to delivery, your intended parent's attorney will arrange for a pre-birth order, and for the Intended Parents' names to go on the birth certificate. After the delivery, the baby will go with the intended parents to a rented room in the hospital or the nursery, while the surrogate will go into her own room to recover.
How will I know that my child(ren) will be taken care of?
All surrogates go through extensive screening, with psychological testing and medical screening, along with a look at their background. Baby Bump Journeys provides more of a hands on experience, so if you ever feel that you aren't receiving enough information, we are happy to step in to manage that situation.
How soon will I be matched?
We work hard to make sure you have the right match. We cannot specify how long it will take you to get matched. There are many factors that can attribute to the match such as location, willingness to carry multiples, willingness to terminate or reduce, etc… Our matches are based on preferences of the Intended Parents as well as our Surrogate Mothers.

Back from the launching and have had time to reflect….
It was a media launch and I wished the M.C. had asked for a show of hands how many members of the media were present. It seemed like there were a lot of my colleagues from the Ashanti hospitality industry.
From left to right at the head table were. Ahmed Naaman, head of the Dodi Group and a colleague of mine, Dr James Adjei, Chairman of the Ghana Hotels Association, Mme Lois Ohene Ayisi, a Director at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly representing the Chief Executive of Kumasi i.e. the Mayor, Mr Sampson Donkor, Deputy Executive Director of the Ghana Tourism Authority and at the far end Mrs Mavis Gyasi-Afriyie, Ag. Regional Manager of the G.T.A. here in Ashanti.
Speeches were made. The focus was on sensitization, not on sponsorship. Shame on me for thinking sponsorship would come from those in the running for prizes. But it only makes sense, the more you want, the more you want to support…anyways..
It was after the speeches and the wonderful performances by the Amamreso Cultural Troup from the Centre of National Culture, Kumasi that I got down to work.
1. I introduced myself to Mr. Donkor as the initiator of the SCRAP SHORT TERM TOURIST VISAS TO GHANA page which he has joined. I then switched tracks and congratulated him on being so outspoken after the presidential debates when not one candidate talked about tourism's role in national development. Given the G.T.A. Special Events Officer Mr Ben Anane-Nsiah's absence from the occasion, I passed along a photocopy of Comfort's review book along with Four Villages Inn's covering letter nominating her for the Walking Tour Guide/Private Sector Guide of the Year Award. He assured me that he would pass it along to Ben.
2. I sat with the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly representative, and we talked Kumasi. I told her I was delighted with the news about plans for a second economic capital…and I said that if this happened and Kumasi was chosen then Kumasi must get its international airport. She said that the airport project was progressing at Asawasi. I'm not sure though that even with a second runway the present Kumasi Airport would meet international standards….
And she dutifully added that our new mayor was working very hard for the city.
I did mention the scrap campaign briefly saying how Ghana's tourism is being severely undermined by prohibitive visa regulations like tourists having to acquire letters of invitation!
3. Ahmed Naaman of the Dodi Group approached me and said he was following my efforts. I think he is referring to the Scrap campaign. Ahmed is a member of Tougha (Tour Operators Union of Ghana). Just recently, a former president of TOUGHA has now taken the reigns of GHATOF which stands for Ghana Tourism Federation (GHATOF). On their GHATOF website they proclaim themselves as "the highest organization established to champion the cause of the private sector in Ghana's tourism industry."HA!
Well, I said to Ahmed that the campaign was going nowhere because those in power in the private sector as well as those in power in the public sector were silent. I said I soon might start to shame those that have been approached and had chosen not to voice an opinion either pro or con. I mentioned the newly sworn in President of GHATOF Mr. David Nana Anim who I have messaged/emailed twice-no reply! Incidentally, it is encouraging that GHATOF and the Ministry of Tourism have announced their mutual co-operation. Maybe they have both agreed to disregard the Scrap campaign because they both have! Again, HA!
So, I just joined the GHATOF Facebook page and the all 8 likes!
A little reflection can lead to a lot of thoughts….

Circuit City is Planning a Comeback
If you missed the lack of expertise and aggressive commission seeking sales tactics of Circuit City, good news: they're coming back! The return of the chain store nobody was clamoring for appears imminent.
To be fair, this is going to be an entirely new company that is capitalizing on the name recognition that Circuit City has. The business officially went belly up in 2008 (and in reality before that). Eight years following bankruptcy and a couple of business deals later, Engadget reports that the first store is expected to open in Dallas this June. The goal is to have 50-100 corporate owned stores and an additional 100-200 franchised stores shortly thereafter.
Gizmodo said to expect smaller stores with a wide inventory that you can access via a touchscreen-- and their own brand of things like micro-USB cables and Bluetooth speakers. They also plan on selling cell phones and tablets. Take all these together and it sounds more like a cross between Radio Shack and Best Buy.
Here's hoping they bring back this
painfully fabulously 90's commercial!

Jewel - What You Are lyric
Ringtone: Send What You Are Ringtone to your Cell Phone!
i'm driving around town
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
See a girl on the bus stop bench
Dressed to draw attention
Hoping everyone will stare
If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
What she wants is already there
A star is a star
It doesn't have to try to shine
Water will fall
A bird just knows how to fly
You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
Or light how to fill up a room
You already are what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Heard a story the other day
Took place at the local VA
A father talking to his dying son
This was his conversation
"It's not supposed to be like this
You can't go first I can't handle it"
The boy said "Dad now don't you cry,
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why?"
(You'd say) Gravity is gravity
It doesn't try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It can't help but hold its ground
The wind just blows, though you can't see
It's everywhere like I'll always be
You already are what you are
And what you are is strong enough
Look in the mirror
Now that's another story to tell
I give love to others
But I give myself hell
I'd have to tell myself
"In every scene there's a perfect plan"
Everything I hoped to be
I already am
A flower is a flower
It doesn't have to try to bloom
And light is light
Just knows how to fill a room
And dark is dark
So the stars have a place to shine
The tide goes out
So it can come back another time
Goodbye makes a love so sweet
And love is love so it can teach us
We already are what we are
And what we are is beautiful
And strong enough
And good enough
And bright enough

Sheriff's Personnel Sport New Uniforms Thanks to Generous Donation From Neptune Aviation
The Missoula County Sheriff's Office, thanks to a generous donation of nearly $65,000 from Neptune Aviation, is outfitting its personnel with lighter, more comfortable uniforms.
Undersheriff Jason Johnson told KGVO News that the new uniforms will be officially debuted on Sunday, June 28, one of the hottest days of the year, something of special importance to deputies in the field.
"The new color goes from brown to black, but it's the material that really makes the difference," Johnson said. "This new material is very light. I equate it to what a runner would wear. It's a very breathable, absorbent-type material. The old uniforms were polyester pants and a wool-blend shirt, so to stand out in the heat for hours at a time it could be very uncomfortable."
Johnson said the new look has a specific purpose, aside for the comfort of the deputy.
"It's very important for us for people to know that we don't want to look militarized," he said. "Frankly, this is one of the reasons it took so long to roll out the new uniforms. Sheriff McDermott wanted to take the time to make sure we did this right. We wanted a very professional look to our uniforms."
Johnson said each deputy receives a uniform allowance, but the new uniforms are possible due to a generous gift from a local business.
"We had two options," he said. "We could make each deputy and detention officer pay for their own new uniforms, and they would have been happy to do that, but we had to find a way to fit that into our budget. With over 20 deputies and over 115 detention officers, the overall cost would have been in the neighborhood of $65,000 to make this changeover. That's when Neptune Aviation stepped forward to foot the bill for it. No taxpayer dollars were used, so it's a win-win situation for us, and we're very appreciative."
So, if you see a sheriff's deputy smiling, it may be because they're not sweltering in a hot uniform. In addition, the sheriff's office will soon be obtaining some new patrol vehicles, Chevy Tahoe SUV's, to replace cruisers that have well over 100,000 miles.

The Huffington Post recently published a controversial piece on newly elected congresswoman, Mia Love. In his piece titled "She Looks Black, but Her Politics Are Red: What Mia Love's Victory Means for the Face of the GOP," Dr. Darron T. Smith argues that Love's conservatism compromises her identity as a black woman. He accuses Love of benefiting from white privilege, and questions the legitimacy of her experience as a person of color, saying "These actualities of Mia's existence seem to be diametrically opposed to her values that are grounded in a white, male, Christian context. She appears publicly unhampered by the daily grind of white racism that affects other racial minorities within the United States."
Throughout his article, Dr. Smith diminishes the ideas and experiences of conservative black Americans. He equates true blackness with leftism, and ignores the increasing ideological diversity of a dynamic community of black individuals. To say the least, I found Dr. Smith's article irritating. But this piece was merely the cherry atop a pile of disappointing Mia Love coverage. Even more irritating is how the majority of media coverage on Love's run for Congress has made her race and gender the central issues of her candidacy.
So, here are some cool things about Mia Love that have nothing to do with her skin color or number of X chromosomes:
"Fiscally Responsible" is her middle name.
Alright, not actually. But it should be! Love served Saratoga Springs UT for nine years, first as a city council member, and then as mayor for three years. Under her leadership, Saratoga Springs was able to cut expenses, and reduce the city's deficit during the economic slump of 2008 from $3.5 million to $779,000. According to recent reports, Saratoga Springs now has the highest possible municipal bond rating for a city of its size. You go, Mia Love.
She's a problem solver.
In 2002, during a particularly buggy year, residents of Love's Saratoga Springs community faced a huge mosquito problem. Residents found their homes blanketed by mosquitoes, but had no luck persuading the community's developer to spray for the bugs. Residents quickly became fed up, and needed someone to solve the problem. So they turned to Mia Love. She argued on behalf of her neighbors, and eventually the developer conceded and agreed to spray for mosquitoes. Mia Love quickly became known as a problem solver within Saratoga Springs, was elected to city council, and has been kicking butt and taking names ever since.
When it comes to public schools, she practices what she preaches.
Typically, politicians love public schools, but love sending their kids to private ones. Not Mia Love. She says "American families want better quality education, lower education costs, and more local control over decisions related to education." And she speaks from firsthand experience because her three children all attend Utah public schools.
Love is also a proponent of charter schools, and while she was mayor, Saratoga Springs experienced a surge in charter school enrollment. One charter school, Lakeview Academy, received greater funding to increase enrollment from 750 to 1000 students while Love was in office.
When she falls, she gets back up.
In 2012, Love ran a great race for Congress, defeating a handful of formidable GOP opponents in the Republican Convention. (The Utah Republican Party selects its candidates in conventions rather than primaries.) Love made it to the general election, only to lose to Democrat Jim Matheson by the narrowest of margins. But Mia Love doesn't quit, and come 2014, she was ready to win.
On top of everything else, she's an incredibly talented performer.
Mia Love's passion for theater started in high school. She was one of 11 people in her school district to qualify for the University of Hartford's Performing Arts Program, which is considered by many as a stepping stone to Broadway. Mia Love was even offered a role on Broadway! She turned down the opportunity to perform in the production "Smokey Joe's Cafe," the longest running musical revue in Broadway history.
While electing the first black Republican congresswoman is certainly monumental, and ignoring race in an attempt to be "post-racial" is rarely fruitful, solely focusing on race is not productive. It's important to recognize Mia Love's race and the historic role it assumes in the outcome of her election, but Love is so much more than the color of her skin. More diversity in the GOP is great, but it shouldn't come at the expense of celebrating the individual accomplishments of its members. In the coming term of Congress, I look forward to seeing Mia Love bring the same fiscal discipline and problem-solving attitude she showcased in Utah to the issues she'll face on the national stage.

Glaze ice is over…..0.05 to 0.25″ has been reported.
Sleet is over…..0.25-0.70″ has been reported.
Snow fall continues & there is a nice deformation zone of pretty heavy snowfall in the area now. This band will move eastward & then set up over our eastern counties by evening. So, upped totals, except over parts of our Illinois counties. Thinking of two main bands setting up.
Pushed 2-4″ west & painted two 4-6″ bands as these two persistent heavier bands in the deformation zone should pump out higher accumulations.
When measuring, make sure to only snowfall, as the sleet has added 0.7″ accumulation & even the freezing rain has added 0.25″ ice. A white snowboard is the way to measure the snow. Never measure the snow in the grass.
Blowing & drifting continues & will be substantial issue into tonight. The snow will exit west to east, ending this evening, but some flurries & snow showers may occur overnight & into Saturday.
Icing has caused isolated power outages. There are a few isolated reports of trees & limbs down. The limbs down on Peerless Road in Evansville have been cleaned up, reportedly & the downed power lines have been repaired.

White youth have higher rates than African American youth, with Asians/Pacific Islanders having the lowest rates. Based on a significant increase in suicide among African American males between 1986 and 1994, the long-standing difference between African Americans and white has declined. , 2003). There are no clear explanations for this decline during the past decade. Hispanics have a relatively low suicide completion rate, but are significantly more likely than either white or African American adolescents to report suicidal ideation and to have made a suicide attempt (Kann, Kinchen, Williams, & Ross, 2000; Reynolds & Mazza, 1992; Tortolero & Roberts, 2001).
Families of most attempting girls were usually mobilized by the attempts. This list of findings serves as an initial profile of risk factors for suicidal behavior among inner-city Hispanic adolescent females. However, given the small sample size and the fact that some reported findings did not reach statistical significance, the study's conclusiveness is limited. Socioeconomic Status The data are mixed regarding the effect of SES and suicide. Several studies have found youth attempting suicide to have lower SES than community controls, even after other social and mental health risk factors are controlled for (Beautrais, Joyce, & Mulder, 1996; Fergusson, Woodward, & Horwood, 2000; Wunderlich, Bronish, & Wiichen, 1998).
In Chapter 2 we review the research on existing treatments, including preliminary findings on DBT adaptations for suicidal adolescents. We describe DBT, with those adaptations that we feel are most effective for multiproblem suicidal adolescents, in subsequent chapters. DEFINING ADOLESCENT SUICIDAL BEHAVIORS "Suicidal behaviors" include completed suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation. , 1996; Reynolds & Mazza, 1994). We include NSIB within the general category of suicidal behaviors for a number of reasons.

Red Flags
Allow the children to be the builders and
designers. Do not suggest what to build or how to create their structures.
Assist them by holding parts together if additional hands are needed.
Encourage children to build with recyclable materials. Each time
they use them in different ways; there are infinite possibilities.
Questions to Ask
When looking through the recycling box:
Do you see any square shapes?
Do they remind you of something else?
Are there shapes like that at home?
What would you like to do with these shapes?
Encourage children to talk about what they made and how they made it.
Tips for Less Mess
Cover the work area with newspaper or plastic tablecloth while painting or complete activity outdoors.
Science Connection
Houses, office buildings, shopping malls and bridges are made up of shapes combined in different ways. What shapes do you see in your neighborhood?
To use your imagination while exploring recyclable materials, shapes and balance.
What You Need
What to Do
Ask children to select items of different shapes that would otherwise go in the recycling box.
Encourage them to use the boxes, cans, paper rolls, etc. as building blocks.
When the children complete a structure they would like to save, they can secure the parts with tape and/or glue.
Complete the creation with desired decoration.
Construct: To build or make
Model: A representation of an existing object
Recycle: To return something to useable form after it has been discarded or is no longer useful in its original form.
Structure: Something made up of parts that are put together in a particular way.
Try This
Have the children look for items they would like to incorporate into their creations.
Insects have three body parts and six legs. Can you make a model of an insect?
Find some non-breakable objects such as a ruler, styrofoam plate, or a pen. Can you balance them on your finger? Keep moving the object on your fingertip until you find the place each will balance.
What shape is easiest to balance? Why?
Try balancing on one foot.

When my in-laws came to us when Jiya was about to be born, Vansh was very happy to have company in the room even at night time. That was also the time when he used to move from one room to the other making sure everyone was asleep, including Jiya, once she was born, before he laid down himself for his repose, the cliched "यह सबको सुलाके सोता है."
Once they left, Ashwini started sleeping with him to help him recover from the sadness that overwhelmed him and to assist him adjust to life with a sibling. However the futon in his room is okay for a few days but starts aching your back if slept on everyday. So when Ashwini started facing that problem, we thought that we would wait for Vansh to fall asleep and then Ash would come back to sleep on the bed in our room. That worked fine until 2:00, 3:00 or 4:00 am, depending on what time Vansh woke up from his deep sleep. He would then come to our room, push me and Ashwini a bit to the sides and take his position between us, fidget lots, try to sleep sideways, forward, backward, his feet our head and vice versa, ask me to go and make something in the kitchen so he could have one side of the bed to himself and finally settle for a preferred position. And even then he would kick so much in his sleep, more often than not, the victim being me, that I would wake up feeling I had hardly gotten any sleep not because of the new baby who was being an angel at night but because of the 2 year old's night time fancies of having half a bed to himself. After a few days, I started going to his room to sleep on the futon while he slept on the bed. On some days, Vansh would then come and sleep with me on the futon! Why!?? Didn't he just ask me to vacate the bed he wanted to sleep on!!?? Kids!!??
But the kicking got better or may be I got more used to it and Vansh started sleeping on his own in his room to begin with (coming to us at 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 am continues to date) and nights became smoother. And finally all of us, except Vansh, stopped moving back and forth between rooms, trying to get our share of the 'oh so wonderful sleep'! The little angel was still the angel, well on most nights, if not all.
Sleeping alone, on the first hand, hadn't really been a thought about decision. But right from the beginning he had been such a light sleeper that if he slept at about 9:30 and we went in at about 11:00, pressing our feet to the floor hard so as not to make the slightest sound, he would stand up in his crib and look at us as if to say "Wow! So is it playtime now?" What began as an experiment day to sleep in the other room and was met with success, then became the ritual.
end of digression
In the meantime, the little angel was growing up and getting smarter by the day, learning all those principles of cause and effect you know. Angel cries, mom shows up. Angel smiles, mom picks her up. Nighttime practice of the principles is double the fun. Moreover, smooth nights with 2 young kids, now thats against Mother Nature!! Isn't it! So if the elder one is getting better, the younger one has the added responsibility on her tender shoulders to make sure the ruckus continues! And so the scene the past week has been something like this :
9:00 pm - Jiya sleeps in crib
9:30 pm - Vansh in his BR
10:30 - 11:00 pm - We in ours
11:15 pm - Jiya cries, at times mom's sight is enough to pacify her; at others she could do with a quick feed
11:30 pm - peace again
1:00 am - Jiya cries in full frenzy; mom paces the floor with her (no night time feedings, Vansh taught mom the VERY HARD way)
1:15 am - still crying, mother trying sip of water, rocking on rocking chair, OKAY a little feed would save everyone's sanity and SLEEP
1:20 am - peace again
3:00 am - Jiya wakes again, cries a lot, dad goes to Vansh's room, mom paces the floor
3:30 am- Vansh comes to sleep with mom armed with a flurry of questions "Jiya is crying? Does she want milk? Does she want to play? Is she 'buddhu ram'??
4:00 am - some degree of peace restored
4:10 am - Vansh realises he has too much space to sleep; Oh where's dad? In his room - why did I come here then?
Oh and before I forget, he has this habit of shutting doors, and not quite gently at that (equivalent to banging in the silence of the night), when he moves in and out of rooms. Enough to wake Jiya again. Exhausted mom gets her with herself to sleep and finally thats the end of it all at about 4:30 am, two hours away from waking up!!
Is sleep ever the same again after you have kids??

The ruckus which is night time sleep with 2 young kids
When my in-laws came to us when Jiya was about to be born, Vansh was very happy to have company in the room even at night time. That was also the time when he used to move from one room to the other making sure everyone was asleep, including Jiya, once she was born, before he laid down himself for his repose, the cliched "यह सबको सुलाके सोता है."

Members of the public joined me in celebrating the Winter Solstice at the Gardens.
Throughout human history, the shortest day of the year has had vital significance for people from many different cultures. This has been acknowledged in various ceremonies and traditions.
At the Gardens, we staged our own little winter festival …
WREATHSFollowing the shortest day (and longest night), we can then look forward to the blossoming of new growth in the Spring.
Wreaths are a symbol of continuity and the cycle of life, so, by making wreaths, we were celebrating the progression of the seasons.
Felicity Clarke had helped me cut flower and leaf shapes from aluminium cans, felt and Lutrador.
On 16, 17, 18, 23 and 24 June, visitors to the Gardens joined me making wreaths.
On the first weekend Jill Brose and Joanne Jayne helped me set up the tables and we started twining bamboo, ivy and creeping vines into circles.
Fortunately we had a lovely fine day, and a prominent position near the Visitors Information Kiosk.
Lots of people, both young and old, really enjoyed creating masterpieces.
After this weekend, our wreath-making Centre-of-Operations was transferred to the Richard Randall Art Studio (in conjunction with my exhibition … which was described in detail in my last post!)
This turned out to be very fortuitous because the weather all week was dreadful - very cold and raining most of the time - so being out in the open would have been disastrous!
We hung the completed wreaths in the Shaving Brush tree (near the Visitors Information Kiosk) where they remained for a few weeks, and were greatly admired by all.
CANDLE COVERSI also planned another activity for visitors to the Gardens.
On the actual night of the Winter Solstice (21 June) we made decorative covers for candles.
Candles, signifying the shedding of light in the darkness (and the start of longer day-lengths) are an important symbol in many cultures.
We set up tables under the Shaving Brush Tree (Pseudobombax ellipticum) and we had fun punching shapes out of paper strips to decorate tea-light candles. They created a magical atmosphere as the sun set.
This activity was a prelude to some amazing singing by the Deep Sea Divas. This was part of "Fete de la Musique", and apparently there were other performances throughout Brisbane (and indeed all over the world) on this night of the Winter Solstice.
Frances Blines, the hard-working team-leader of the Volunteer Guides at the Gardens (and also one of the talented Divas) had made some yummy roasted potatoes and mulled wine.
It was a shame that we didn't have too many visitors on the night to help us eat it – but that left all the more for us!
TREE BLANKETBecause the Shaving Brush Tree is deciduous, I wrapped it in a blanket to keep it warm during winter!
Old-style closely-fitting jumpers called "Hug-me-tights" are now making a fashion comeback.
This one is hand-knitted in brown rope, with the words HUG ME TIGHT crocheted in orange cotton. Words of wisdom for Tree Hugger conservationists are hand-lettered on calico and threaded through the knitted mesh.
It was so nice to see some visitors to the gardens spontaneously walking up to the tree to give it a hug!
I originally made this tree-blanket for the Warwick Jumpers & Jazz Festival several years ago, and it's great for it to have another public outing!
… and if you haven't yet made an annual pilgrimage to see hundreds of trees clothed for winter in Palmerin, Grafton and Fitzroy Streets in Warwick then you are missing a treat.
The Warwick Jumpers & Jazz Festival is on this year until 29 July…. and while you're there, check out the amazing "Taking Leaf of My Senses" exhibition at Warwick Art Gallery (10am – 4pm daily) by talented, internationally-acclaimed artist Sue Dennis.

More likes, more followers, make it viral, upsize your footprint . . . really?
We love social media and believe it is where your potential customers and influencers are hanging out; we also think social conversation and building community is a brilliant way to communicate your brand. But it's not about likes, followers and footprints, it's about engagement and delight.
We cut through the double talk to make social media marketing more manageable, training clients on best practice techniques, running their channels and sharing our knowledge on the blog. We primarily socialise on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterest but are constantly testing out new social platforms and measures to see what works.
Some businesses put their social media in our hands. Why? Generally it's because they don't have an in-house marketing team but do want their brands to perform better on social media. And because we are doing social all day every day, we know what's new, what's best practice and what's effective – which can save companies money in the long term. It's not for all businesses, but it might be right for yours?

Why would people voluntarily inject a drug into their veins? Unless you have ever experienced the euphoric rush associated with heroin, you probably won't understand it. Besides, those squeamish about needles now snort or smoke the drug. Before long, they face addiction. When they're ready to embark on a road to wellness, the first step is a heroin detox program.
Don't You Want to Feel Good?
This line is a recurring staple dialog phrase in some movies when depicting drug pushers peddling their wares. What makes it difficult for those struggling with the substance to commit to a heroin detox is the fact that the metabolic processes involved in the body's breakdown of the drug indeed result in feeling good – at least for a short time. On the flip side is heroin withdrawal, which doesn't feel good.
Withdrawal Symptoms You Might Experience During a Heroin Detox Program
If you or a loved one are among the 23 percent of heroin users whom the National Institute on Drug Abuse identifies as recreational users who turned into persons struggling with addiction, the fear of entering heroin detox usually has to do with the symptoms. These, too, movie directors depict in living color for big screen productions and TV shows. What they won't tell you, however, is that the dramatic depictions have nothing to do with the heroin detox you experience at a facility that offers medically supervised withdrawal.
- In the home setting. Because the intense cravings and physical discomfort get stronger the longer you seek to hold out, this type of detox has the highest failure rate. Without the help and one-on-one encouragement to stay strong in the resolve to quit, you'll go back to another fix as soon as the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms becomes the sole focal point of your experience.
- In a medically supervised detox facility. Withdrawal signs may include anxiety, cramps, body aches, vomiting, sweating, and similar discomforts. Caring professionals minimize discomfort with the help of medications that ease or even eliminate some of these sensations. When combined with the psychological help and encouragement you receive, continuing with your heroin detox program is easier.
- Medical conditions do not have to become emergencies. If, in the course of your drug withdrawal, you and those assisting in the process realize that you may suffer from underlying psychiatric conditions, it is possible to introduce medications that prevent situations from spiraling out of control. The same goes for symptoms of illnesses such as diabetes.
- Supervised detox readies you for the next step. As your body withdraws from the drug, the professionals prepare you for rehab which is the next step on the road to recovery.
Take Advantage of a Strong Support System to Win the Battle for Your Life
Undergoing heroin detox is the beginning of a battle that pitches you against the drug that's threatening to destroy your life, your health, and the relationships you hold dear. Don't leave this significant step to chance. First Step specializes in fighting alongside people just like you, who've had enough of a drug controlling every aspect of their lives. Recognizing that there's little value to white-knuckling it, these folks won't allow the drug to rob them of one more day.
Helping you take the first step toward rehab, heroin detox frees your body from the need for a drug that slowly kills you. When you're ready to stand up for yourself and want skilled, caring, and highly motivated experts by your side, call 1-800-EASY-**** for help. There's no wrong time to call–we're here when you're ready.

|Tomcat / Ant Question
|Fri, 12 Oct 2001 00:19:26 GMT
Hello, I want to use Ant's Optional Tasks on a JSP page. I've removed the old ant.jar from {tomcat.home}\lib and copied the ant.jar (ant 1.4) and jakarta-ant-1.4-optional.jar into the folder. On startup of Tomcat I both jars included in the Using CLASSPATH: (dos box). My page fails. The error message says something about including the optional jar in the <ANT_HOME>\lib folder. The jar file is there and in Tomcat's lib folder so I'm not sure what the problem is. Am I missing a Tomcat config file somewhere? Any suggetions? Thanks, Ray
