Life of the Buddha seen through a Ceylonese (Sinhalese) Artist's eyes
A young artist from Gampaha, Sri Lanka who is known as "Dhamma Eye" in his blog has been inspired to paint the pictures on this slideshow. He is undoubtedly a great artist, and I see on his blogspot that his past time is meditation. We thank him for his great work and wish him all the best to draw many more paintings of the Buddha.
I have seen many of these paintings appearing elsewhere on the internet, and some people have queried who the author is, of these pictures. I hope the people who read my blogspot will now know who did these beautiful paintings.

A Long Beach State spokesman told NBC News he had also spoken with Gonzalez's family. The university will hold a vigil Sunday.

What transfer rumors?
Amid swirling transfer rumors surrounding his potential move to Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar put together a special effort on Saturday night in an International Champions Cup friendly between Barcelona and Juventus.
The Brazilian opened the scoring with a beautiful strike in the box, but his second goal was even more ridiculous and was so nice that we'll just leave it here first, without any description.

I've been tagged by Sam to give you seven random facts about myself. So, here goes, with some not very deeply delving, blog friendly facts
1. I can't drive.
2. I studied French and Hispanic studies at The University of Glasgow . In order of fluency my foreign languages would be 1-French 2-Spanish 3-Portuguese. I hadn't used my Portuguese for years until recently, when I started reading what the Portuguese online papers had to say about this story . My reading comprehension is still good, but I'd be hard pushed to carry on an in-depth conversation now, my Portuguese having lain dormant since 1993.
3. I am VERY clumsy. My family will immediately vouch for this. My work colleagues were recently surprised when I mentioned how clumsy I was because I have learned to mask it more as I get older. I'm not very much more co-ordinated or dextrous now than I was years ago, but I am more conscious of my capabilities and limitations now.
4. I am VERY messy. This has not improved over the years unfortunately. I actually like clean, tidy places but I find it hard to make it happen and keep it that way. One of my major downfalls is that I don't tidy up until the place is tidy. I tidy up until the mess gets to a level I can live with. Not wise because before very long, just a few things lying around tips it over to unbearable again.
5. I don't see the point of pets whatsoever. Please don't try to convert me, I just don't get it and I am 36 now, I'm not going to get it so save your breath. I do however like to sing Gipsy Kings songs to my in-laws' dog who is the Gypsy Boss. That's more of a coping mechanism than a rapprochement between myself and the canine world.
6. I have seven lovable siblings.
7. I love snugs.
Bonus fact- I have a secret rebellious streak which means that I won't be passing on the meme.
Now go and check out Sam's blog ! x K

Thank goodness...smile!!! I hate memes...LOL!!!
What's a snug??
What do you mean by snug? The only snug I know is the small, hot and smoky room found in old fashioned pubs - but somehow I think your snug might have a different meaning?

Heather has tagged me - still thinking about it ... and it hurts!
ps I won't be passing it on either - up the rebs!

KUSA – Thousands of Coloradans received a letter from the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles in an attempt to find out who owns an electric plug-in vehicle.
That's because new legislation goes into effect on January 1, 2014. House bill 13-1110 requires electric car drivers to pay a new fee of $50 a year. The fee will go towards helping to fund public roads, which is usually collected through a gas tax. Electric cars don't use gasoline.
"The $50 annual fee is really to make it equal across all playing fields," Colorado Department of Revenue spokesperson Daria Serna said. "[It] is to help fix highways and roads – just like we do with the gas tax."
Some of the fee will also go towards a grant fund.
"That's going to be parceled out to different local jurisdictions so they can add electric motor vehicle – or electric plug-in stations," Serna said.
But first Colorado has to figure out who owns an electric car – and the state can't tell just by looking up the VIN number.

So, it's week 2 of my challenge for myself. I have managed to change my avatar and created a new banner for my Etsy shop. Two things checked off the list! I have written two posts this week (counting this one), so another thing checked off, as well as I listed one new item on Etsy last week. I can give myself a gold star for last week.
This week, however I haven't listed anything yet. I know that I shouldn't be using physical therapy as an excuse for not doing much, but it's really kicking my butt. I am exhausted when I come home and all I want to do is go to bed. This week isn't up, however. I still have tonight and tomorrow. I am working on an order I got from Etsy, which is slightly different than the card I listed. So, maybe I will take pictures of this card and list it tomorrow. (I often list things that I send out because I know I can recreate them fairly easy. I only do that with cards that I know I have the exact supplies on hand to recreate it!!)
On a positive note, I have looked up craft shows to apply to. I have six right now, not counting the craft show I want to do at my local high school in December. I will print out some applications this weekend to make sure that I have all the proper information (and the necessary money to apply – shows can get expensive!!!)
I have to really take some time to decide what I want my new business cards and banner to look like. I am still looking for some ideas. I like the new banner for my shop, but I want something a little different for my table banner for craft shows. I also want my cards to match. I will have to browse Vistaprint – maybe I will add that to my list of things to do this weekend.
So, overall, I think that week 2 of my goals was a success. Hopefully I can keep this momentum up and continue to work on my inventory and improving my shop! Has anyone else set goals? If so, how are you doing with them? I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to leave a comment and subscribe!

Fashion Club makes blankets for Children's Advocacy Center

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Fashion may not be a typical subject in a physics classroom. However, physics teacher Paige Hodge created a new organization this year called Fashion Club. Physics and fashion-related tools are displayed all around the classroom.
"I started sewing [since junior high. And] I've taught all different sciences over the years and [I was] willing to do a subject most people aren't," Mrs. Hodges said.
Their current mission is to make blankets for the Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County. The Children's Advocacy Center's mission is to provide a safe place for children victimized by neglect or abuse.
"It makes me feel like I'm doing something for a good cause," senior Christopher Franklin said.
Sewing is a learning process and the people in the club are just learning the basics.
"Using the sewing machine was scary at first," junior Nikki Sabala said.
The Fashion Club members invite others to room 854 on Wednesdays during lunch to learn with them.
"[I want] kids to be able to apply their skills to make garments for themselves or give something their own personal style," Mrs. Hodges said.

"…I was the greatest critic of the initial four years, three and a half years. I came back from my first trip to Iraq and said, 'This is going to fail. We've got to change the strategy to the one we're using now.'"
In the early stages of the war, however, McCain painted a fairly different picture on numerous occasions.
He told then Today Show host Katie Couric on March 20, 2003, "But I believe, Katie, that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators." Earlier that month on March 7th, he told ABC's This Week, "I'm confident we're on the right course. … I am confident that an imperfect democracy is what we'll get out of Iraq will be vastly superior to what the people of Iraq had prior to this." Eight months later on October 31, McCain told CBS News, "I think the initial phases of it [the war] were so spectacularly successful that it took us all by surprise." On the September 21, 2004, McCain further asserted on MSNBC's Hardball, "Have mistakes been made? Yes. But the necessity of winning, I believe, is overwhelming. And I think that President Bush is presenting a clear picture of the benefits of success and the consequences of failure." And on December 8, 2005, McCain told The Hill, "I do think that progress is being made in a lot of Iraq. Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course. If I thought we weren't making progress, I'd be despondent."
Senator McCain has claimed for some time that he was initially critical of President Bush. A February 22, 2007 Los Angeles Times article discussed that, "McCain said his criticism started three years ago 'when I saw that this train wreck was taking place, and that we needed more troops, and we needed a different strategy.'" Click to read the full text of the article.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain was anything but subtle Wednesday as he took swipes at the Bush administration during a meticulously staged appearance with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on the bustling docks of Los Angeles Harbor.
President Bush's record on global warming? "Terrible," McCain declared. His pursuit of the Iraq war? "A train wreck."
If the point of the Arizona senator's visit was to put distance between himself and his party's unpopular president, McCain was following a pattern set by Schwarzenegger in his reelection campaign. For McCain, the task is especially important because his vocal support for Bush's recent troop buildup in Iraq threatens a voter backlash.
In what was billed as a nonpolitical event to call for tougher federal action to stop global warming, McCain joined Schwarzenegger for a hazy morning helicopter tour of the Long Beach and Los Angeles ports. The Republican duo flew over the future site of a hydrogen power plant that would pump carbon dioxide into the ground instead of the air.
Later, standing side by side amid the roar of engines as cranes hoisted cargo containers onto ships and trucks, Schwarzenegger lavished praise on McCain ("a great, great senator, a great national leader"), raising the question of whether he supports him for president.
All signs to the contrary, Schwarzenegger said, "We're not doing presidential politics here" — but not before McCain wisecracked: "I think it's the endorsement, yes."
One of McCain's chief Republican rivals, Rudolph W. Giuliani, had to settle recently for a private steak dinner and cigars with Schwarzenegger in the governor's Sacramento hotel suite.
But on the San Pedro docks, Schwarzenegger offered McCain access to his usual retinue of trailing TV crews, and McCain used the opportunity to pound Bush on a number of fronts.
"I would assess this administration's record on global warming as terrible," McCain said, recalling that he got "no cooperation from the administration" at Senate hearings on the subject. He pronounced himself "very happy to see the president mention global warming and a renewed commitment from the administration to this issue." But he added tartly: "It's long overdue."
(White House spokesman Tony Fratto declined to respond directly to McCain but said Bush had "set an ambitious goal for our nation to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and we're meeting it.")
Asked about the scathing remarks he has made on the administration's conduct of the war, McCain said his criticism started three years ago "when I saw that this train wreck was taking place, and that we needed more troops, and we needed a different strategy."
As the campaign has heated up in recent weeks, McCain has repeatedly criticized the administration.
In South Carolina on Monday, McCain said former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld would "go down in history as one of the worst secretaries of Defense in history." ("I stand by my comment about Secretary Rumsfeld," he responded to a question on that topic in San Pedro.) In an interview last month with a politico.com columnist, McCain said that Bush had been "very badly served" by Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney, who shot back Wednesday.
"I just fundamentally disagree with John," Cheney told ABC News. "John said some nasty things about me the other day, and then next time he saw me, ran over to me and apologized. Maybe he'll apologize to Rumsfeld."
Cheney praised Rumsfeld for doing a "superb job."
"He and John McCain had a number of dust-ups over policy," Cheney said. "Didn't have anything to do with Iraq — other issues that were involved. John's entitled to his opinion. I just think he's wrong."
McCain, whose campaign spokesman, Danny Diaz, declined to respond to Cheney's comments, was not entirely acidic toward the Bush White House at his harbor stop with Schwarzenegger. He said he was still "strongly supporting" Bush's plan to add 21,500 troops to U.S. forces in Iraq, a stand that could cost McCain support among the independents and moderates who are crucial parts of his political base.
As for the fight against global warming, an effort that Schwarzenegger made a centerpiece of his reelection campaign, McCain portrayed California as a model for Congress to take action. He voiced support for the kind of mandatory reductions in carbon emissions that California enacted last year.
"I'm here," he said, "because I think that California leads the nation, and we all know that in many respects — much to the dismay sometimes of us in Arizona, particularly when it comes to the theft of Arizona's water."

Bullying as a Rational Choice
Over the weekend I was reading through my Facebook feed--a title really jumped out at me: "Bullying: A Rational Choice." Having a friend who teaches economics, I hear the term "rational choice" quite a bit, as that is apparently how economists view choices people make for their economic models.

Although my plans of playing college volleyball and having a carefree senior year of high school came to a screeching halt, I knew God had bigger plans.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 08, 2016
1 in 285 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with some form of cancer before the age of 20*. Carly Freels knows how it feels to be a part of this statistic.
Freels, a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma, was just seventeen years old when her world came crashing down. In her new book, "When Faith > Fear…" Freels offers hope to young readers who are battling cancer, provides insight to readers who are walking alongside a friend or family member with the disease and helps restore the faith of all who are affected through her firsthand account of her battle.
"There are very few success stories written on youth cancer," Freels said. "Nearly everyone is affected by cancer in some way, and I believe this book will not only help those going through treatment, but anyone who desires to better understand what cancer patients go through on a day-to-day basis."
Freels is now cancer-free and a full time student at Texas A&M University. "Although my plans of playing college volleyball and having a carefree senior year of high school came to a screeching halt, I knew God had bigger plans," Freels said. "I now understand that I've been called to share my story and provide hope to others in situations similar to mine."

About the author
Carly Freels was a typical high school junior-she was a friend to many, she was an accomplished athlete, and she was looking forward to her senior year. All this came to an abrupt stop when she was diagnosed with cancer. Her world changed overnight, but her faith never wavered. Freels tells her story by reflecting on the events of each day that followed and the strength that was provided by God.

If you're going to stay in the game, you have to learn to accommodate and benefit from increased change in the workplace.
From our vantage point of over two decades in the business of change management consulting, we have learned a lot. Here is what we have learned about the kind of attitude it takes to manage, not fear, organizational change.
It takes a readiness to:
- Welcome a wide variety of perspectives.
If you only listen to the same old-same old, you will not be open to a different, and often better, way of approaching challenges. Refrain from forming an opinion until you have actively listened and fully understood the new approach from a relationship, culture, stakeholder, structure and information perspective.
- Ask questions that bring new thinking and new responses.
Try shaking things up a bit. Instead of asking your team for their solution, ask them what they found most surprising as they worked on the problem…or what data they chose to ignore and why.
- Ignore the trees for the forest.
Don't get mired in the details. Look at the big picture for the direction to take. Be more attuned to patterns than specifics. Organizational change is messy – keep pushing forward.
Then make little moves at a time to observe the results. A bit of experimentation along the way can help you tweak your final big move and be confident it's the right one.

I'll stick to scrapbooking...interior design isn't for me!
I'm laid off work for 4 weeks, so I figured that I would take this time, and do some needed home improvements, since i'm so busy, and haven't had time.
Well, I painted the front room, reframed some of my pictures, and put up a vinyl phrase on the wall, along with cleaned the carpet, put down some new accessories, and I am so relieved that i'm finished!!
The last couple of days, I figured that I needed some time off, so I headed down to the "scrapcave" and reorganized everything best that I could...along with doing some layouts. It's great to finally let the creativity flow!
So now i've finished most of my housework for today...and now i'm taking the computer down to the "scrapcave" so I can visit all the sites...
I'm so excited!
I'm still learning how to do all this...and add things to it to make the blog look cute! If anyone has ideas...i'm open for help!

Northern Holland is comprised mostly of flat farmland, rustic villages, deciduous forests, and shallow canals.
Holland's cycle track network used for touring is called Knooppuntroutes—which directly translated means "node routes." Every 3-4 km within the cycle track networks there is a large sign with a number that corresponds to a number on the cycle track maps.
I figured out my routes by selecting a series of these numbers—or nodes—and then only had to look at my map periodically to remind myself of the sequence of numbers I should follow next.
I could go for an hour or so just by remembering 4 or 5 different "node numbers" and following the signs.
On Sunday it turned out that my biggest challenge wasn't crossing Afsluitdijk —it was finding an open store or restaurant where I could buy food. I don't carry much food with me because I go through plenty of towns where I enjoy stopping to buy sandwiches, pastries, chocolate, coffee and other "fuel." I'd learned that in Denmark everything is closed on Sundays. In fact, I've now learned that many governments in the EU mandate that stores are closed on Sundays. But, on Saturday afternoon I wasn't thinking about Sunday shopping laws. The American in me just assumed that some enterprising shopkeeper would gladly be open and ready to take my Euros in exchange for a few snacks. This was not the case. By 8:30 AM I'd already biked through two towns that were completely deserted with 'closed' signs abound. In theory, I really like this idea of actually taking Sunday off to rest and be with loved ones, but as my stomach started grumbling I began to pine for the convenience of 24/7 American retail practices. After going about 10 km more I made it to a third town that was slightly larger than the first two and found a hotel with a restaurant. The restaurant wasn't open yet but the people working were really kind and made me breakfast, a lunch to take on the road, and—most importantly—a cup of coffee. Whew! I learned my lesson about preparing for Sunday.
Afsluitdijk turned out to be pretty painless. The strong ocean winds were hitting me directly for the 5 kms leading to the dam, but because of the angle of the dam I actually ended up having the northwest winds at my back for the majority of the crossing. I made it across in 1:40.
I biked for another hour after getting across Afsluitdijk and then enjoyed a sunny afternoon at a campsite along a canal.
I got an early start on Monday morning and had a very scenic 70 km ride to Amsterdam.
I haven't seen much of Amsterdam yet–more updates soon!

The appearance of a Russian spy ship off the East Coast has many Americans in the media and elsewhere on the mainland concerned. The ship was spotted lingering in the water Wednesday some 30 miles off the coast of Groton, Connecticut.
But the ocean isn't the only venue in which the Russian military has begun to flex its muscles. Below are five other recent examples of Russian provocation.
Two Russian jets buzz U.S. destroyer in 'simulated attack profile' - April 11, 2016In what looked to be a simulated attack, the USS Donald Cook was buzzed multiple times by two Russian aircrafts flying just 100 feet off the ground. Despite repeated attempts to hail the Russian aircrafts, no contact was made.
The Russian planes would make 20 total passes during the incident.
Who cares about a Russian boat in international water. The jet buzzing our ships is a different story.Put a weapons lock on them.— John P Jones (@JohnPJones64) February 15, 2017
Russian plane buzzing isn't a joke to some on social media.
Russian bombers tracked off the West Coast on Independence Day - July 4, 2016
On the same day that Vladimir Putin sent congratulations to the White House to mark the celebration of America's independence, the U.S. military was tracking Russian bombers off the coasts of California and Alaska.
The planes never entered American airspace, but the timing of Putin's message, coupled with the date, made officials at the Pentagon believe the Russian president was sending a message.
Russian jet flies within 10 feet of U.S. Navy plane - Sep. 7, 2016
A Russian jet over the Black Sea flew dangerously close to a U.S. naval plane on routine patrol in international airspace in September.
The Russians initially chalked the incident up to the American plane flying with its transponder turned off. U.S. officials, however, didn't buy that explanation, saying that Russian jets regularly fly without transponders turned on.
Russian aircraft buzzes U.S. Navy ships three times in a day - Feb. 10, 2017
Sound familiar? A Navy destroyer was buzzed three times in a day by a Russian jet while in the Black Sea (seems to be a theme). In each instance, the aircrafts were described as flying at an unusually low altitude, and sometimes at high speeds.
The Russian aircraft's transponders were not turned on during the incident (hmmmmm) and did not respond when the crew of the destroyer hailed them via radio.
News that Russian jets buzzed one of our ships. I would make it policy to shoot down any jet from any country that got too close.— gregkrehbiel (@gregkrehbiel) February 15, 2017
Yeah. People on Twitter really don't like Russian jets flying too close to American ships.
Russia deploys missile in violation of nuclear treaty - reported Feb. 14, 2017
The Russians don't even take Valentine's Day off. The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that the Russians had deployed a cruise missile in violation of a Cold-War era treaty.
The incident is expected to be discussed on Wednesday when Gen. James Mattis attends his first NATO meeting in Brussels.


text: Monday, August 22, 2016 LAWYERS TEAM UP TO LAUNCH ROSEN SACK LLPToronto lawyers Avra Rosen and Susan Sack have joined forces to start a new firm called Rosen Sack LLP.The two lawyers have been friends since they were put in the same section at Osgoode Hall Law School in the 1980s. "We are two very strong women, advocates, trial lawyers — very similar in the way we approach things and how we have compassion for our clients and strive for excellence," Rosen says.Called to the bar in 1987, Rosen practised family law while Sack initially pursued commercial litigation.Rosen has had her own family law firm, Law Offices of Avra Rosen, for the last 19 years. She says one of her only sticking points of creating the new firm was that everything in her office remains purple — which has become what she calls her "colour trademark."Sack, who recently left Basman Smith LLP, focuses the majority of her practice representing family lawyers in LawPRO proceedings, but she also does some family law and commercial litigation.The firm, which launched Aug. 15 with six lawyers, is set to move into a new space at the corner of St. Clair Avenue and Yonge Street in Toronto. The two lawyers say their skillsets complement each other well because the new firm will offer a complete package for family law clients who may need the help of a lawyer with estate litigation experience.SOUTH ASIAN BAR ASSOCIATION WELCOMES NEW DIRECTORSFive new directors have been elected to the South Asian Bar Association of Toronto's board of directors.SABA Toronto elected Aarondeep Bains of Aird & Berlis LLP, Neil Gurmukh of Miller Thomson LLP, Devin Persaud of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, as well as lawyers Aman Patel and Vibhu Sharma.The directors will join the board after being elected at the association's 10th annual general meeting in August.TLA CALLS FOR HONSBERGER AWARD NOMINEESThe Toronto Lawyers Association is calling for nominations for the 2017 Honsberger Award.The annual award recognizes a TLA member's accomplishment or ongoing contribution, which exemplifies knowledge, advocacy and community — the association's three pillars.The award is named after John Honsberger, a TLA president from 1967 to 1968 and association historian who was the first recipient of the Law Society Medal and the TLA Award of Distinction.For a nomination form or for more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 30 and the award will be presented at the TLA Awards of Distinction Reception on March 2, 2017. LAW TIMES POLLLaw Times reported recently that Legal Aid Ontario is reconsidering its practices around transparency in light of the province's recent Open Data Directive.Readers were asked if they thought Legal Aid billings should be kept secret.Around 45 per cent said yes, releasing the data would violate the privacy of lawyers and the information would lack context.The remaining 55 per cent said no, transparency and accountability would be enhanced if it was released, showing how public funding is used.

After watching the Netherlands trashing France I decided to go out and enjoy the sunrise equiped with my camera – with the intention to have a look at the conditions for the upcoming dive two hours later. There was not much of a sunrise as all light was blocked by a thick cloud. I started playing around with the camera and taking pictures of the wild water – there was indeed not much hope for a dive somewhere along the coast!
Suddenly there were a few beams of sunlight braking through the thick layer of clouds, a cone only lighting up the refinery out in Kurnell. A fantastic moment with the wild waves in the foreground. I tried to capture it, even though the G9 and any other compact camera is not at its best in low light conditions.

Epoxy 1-component adhesives are heat curing and primarily used when high shear strength or high crash-resistance is required, as well as ease of working. In 1-component systems the resin and hardener lie side by side in the mixture. The hardener is non-soluble at room temperature and dissolves only when heat is applied, this will initiating the curing process. The clear advantage of those systems are simple application and good handling properties, as well as the fact that the operator does not have to perform the mixing and dose measurement.
Our 1-K epoxy resins possess excellent long term durability coupled with very high resistance to temperature change.

The Republic of Korea, commonly known as South Korea, is one of the most successful newly emerging countries. Korea's development experience over the past half-century has been a source of inspiration for other developing countries. Indeed, Korea may be the face of hope for all those countries who want to radically transform the social and economic conditions of their people in the course of a single generation. Even among successful countries characterized by sustained high growth, Korea stands out with its impressive industrial upgrading and ability to recover quickly from shocks. It has transformed itself from a poverty-stricken country to one of the developed nations with highly positive social and economic parameters, within a single generation. Understanding the Korean development model and policies is of utmost importance for other developing nations as there are important lessons to gain.
After the Korean War, South Korea remained one of the poorest countries in the world for over a decade. In 1960, its gross domestic product per capita was $79, lower than that of some sub-Saharan countries. The hwan (South Korean currency) lost half of its value against the dollar between fall 1960 and spring 1961. The Korean economy was heavily characterised by agriculture and mining, while manufacturing consisted of less than 3% of the GNP.
The Korean Institute for International Trade (KITA) states that policies of globalisation and liberalisation are the most critical elements in booming the Korean economy. The government started by announcing its five-year economic development plan based on an export-oriented industrialization policy. Top priority was placed on the growth of a self-reliant economy and modernization. The economy grew rapidly with vast improvements in industrial structure, especially in the basic and heavy chemical industries. Persistent development required large capital investments so the government used the influx of foreign aid from Japan and the United States to provide loans to export businesses, with preferential treatment in obtaining low-interest bank loans and tax benefits. The United States offered about $60bn in grants and loans to South Korea between 1946 and 1978. The government focused on building up large economic champions, or chaebols (business conglomerates), against American advice to focus on small- and medium-sized companies. That policy laid the foundation for successful South Korean brands in the world market, such as Samsung and LG, although it came at a price in terms of political corruption in the close ties between business and political elites. Economic and technological growth during this period improved the standard of living, which expanded opportunities for education. Workers with higher education were absorbed by the rapidly growing industrial and commercial sectors, and urban population surged.
Despite the immense economic growth, however, the standard of living for city labourers and farmers was still low. Laborers were working for low wages to increase the price competitiveness for the export-oriented economy plan and farmers were in near poverty as the government-controlled prices. As the rural economy steadily lost ground and caused dissent among the farmers, however, the government decided to implement measures to increase farm productivity and income. Despite the social and political unrest, the economy continued to flourish under the authoritarian rule with the export-based industrialization policy. Development plans focussed on expanding the heavy and chemical industries, raising the capability for steel production and oil refining. As most of the development had come from foreign capital, most of the profit went back to repaying the loans and interests. In the 1980s, tight monetary laws and low-interest rates contributed to price stability and helped the economy boom with notable growth in the electronics, semiconductor, and automobile industries. The country opened up to foreign investments and GDP rose as Korean exports increased.
In the first half of the 1990s, in already democratic South Korea, the economy continued a stable and strong growth. However, things changed quickly in 1997 with the Asian Financial Crisis. Much of South Korea's recovery from the Asian Financial Crisis can be attributed to labour adjustments (i.e. a dynamic and productive labour market with flexible wage rates) and alternative funding sources like the IMF.
The Korean transformation from a poor low per capita GDP country to a rich manufacturing economy hasn't been a smooth one. It was marred by protests and unrests yet, the country managed to turn things around for itself in about 3 decades. It was only possible due to the persistent focus on trade and export-oriented manufacturing. If one looks upon the Korean economy from 1960-1990, one will find the consistent introduction of new and innovative policies to facilitate trade and promote industrialisation and manufacturing in the economy. There is another important part of the development process that is often missed out by researchers and academicians. The Korean government has given immense importance to human capital and has invested in health and education of its people. The Korean government did not encourage abroad education, rather it tried to create an enabling environment by inviting intellectuals into Korea. Another important lesson that developing nations like India must learn from Korea is its persistence on economic growth and development without being hampered by protests and social unrest. Thus, the South Korean development model acts as an inspiration for other developing nations which shows that appropriate policies along with good governance can turn around the fortunes of a country even with a span of few decades.

I wear many, many hats. Some days it seems as though I am working for everyone but my family. It is hard and very overwhelming. I am sure that you can relate. I wanted to share with you 5 things that I am doing to become a better mom.
- Watching the tone and the volume of my voice. – I am a yeller by nature. I don't like that about myself but it is true. I am working very hard to stop yelling and start loving. It is important to me that my children remember me as being fun and loving not uptight and bossy.
- Taking time out of the day for myself. – This may seem counter intuitive but if I am not recharging myself then there is nothing left of me to give. I do not make this a big deal. This time can consist of reading before bed, painting my toe nails, or getting up a few extra minutes early to exercise (I don't do that one near enough.)
- Listening more and talking less. – Who doesn't like feeling heard? I have realized that I do not do a very good job of listening to my children. Sure I hear them when they talk but I am usually not listening. I am making it a point to engage with them and listen more.
- Being a better wife. – My children must see me loving their father. It is very important that they know that he is my best friend. That he and I have a strong relationship. I think that this will help my children feel more secure with not only me but also in their role in the family.
- PRAYING – That one may seem like a no-brainer but I am trying to become more intentional about praying for and with my children. I am praying specifically for and over them. Praying for the desires of their hearts as well as the conditions of them.

Building Area: 17,000 s.f.
Date of Completion: N/A
Type: New Construction
Location: N/A
Budget: N/A
Challenge: Design a new church that will provide a community
gathering place as well as space for spiritual teaching and meditation.
Solution: The building is organized along a linear stone
wall, which serves to separate the spiritual and natural spaces from the
temporal and man-made world. A social hall, classrooms and administrative
offices are placed on the side of the wall towards the public road. Located
on the far side of the wall, the sanctuary and hearth lounge open to the
memorial garden. The stone wall contains core spaces such as mechanical,
electrical, and storage, as well as the fireplace.
The volume of the sanctuary is set back from the point of arrival to
create an entry patio framed by the hearth lounge and the social hall.
The entry is marked by a small reflection pool in front of the chimney.
Once inside, one passes through an opening in the stone wall to enter
the hearth lounge, which serves as an informal gathering space and as
a buffer from the sanctuary. In the sanctuary, wood posts and beams continue
through the space, creating a tree-like canopy overhead. This, in conjunction
with the openings that allow views into the garden, help to blur the line
between indoors and outdoors.

Project: National Youth week 2015- aMAZE
Co-Artist and workshop facilitator: Matt McVeigh and Calvin Chee
Mentee: Robyn Taylor, Jaccie Gillet and Nicola Flaherty
We were commissioned by Propel Youth Arts to mentor 3 young emerging WA artists, to create an interactive public artwork for the KickstART Youth Markets as part of National Youth Week 2015.
As a group we decided to create a large maze based on the idea of reinterpreting and appropriating fairy tales. The structure was made of interlocking cardboard panels and the public were encouraged to draw on the walls as they wondered through the maze. The three mentees all had a room within the maze that they had designed based on a fairytale.

Is the Deadly Violence and Destruction in Gaza a Deliberate Israeli Military Policy?
Israel's Operation Protective Edge military campaign against Gaza is now entering its seventh day. The death toll in Gaza is rapidly rising (reaching 183 as of July 14, 2014), and it has now surpassed the death toll in the last major Israeli military campaign in Gaza, i.e., Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, which saw 171 Palestinians killed.
The Israeli government has repeatedly stated that it is prepared to continue the aerial bombardment of Gaza despite the rising civilian casualties (the UN has reported that 77% of the Palestinians killed in the bombardment are civilians and two-thirds of the injured are women and children). It has also stationed thousands of its troops on the border with Gaza, with warnings that a land invasion is imminent. And on July 13, 2014, it was reported that the Israeli military had made its first ground incursion into Gaza, exchanging fire with Hamas soldiers, with an intent to disable a Hamas rocket site. This came a day after a particularly bloody aerial bombardment campaign in which at least 53 Palestinians were killed in their homes. Soon after this land incursion, it was reported that the Israeli military dropped leaflets in 3 neighborhoods of a northern Gaza area called Beit Lahiya, telling its residents to leave their homes before an impending attack. There are 70,000 Palestinians living in the Beit Lahiya area. Although, Hamas dismissed the Israeli warnings as "psychological warfare", the UN reported that at least 4000 Palestinians from Beit Lahiya have fled to Gaza city, holing up in UN-run schools; up to 17,000 Palestinians in all from northern Gaza have sought refuge in various UN facilities.
The UN also reports that the Israeli military has made phone calls to households in various Gaza neighborhoods, playing recorded messages, warning its residents to evacuate their homes - while people have not taken heed thus far, the UN reports that should things worsen in coming days, 300,000 Palestinians could be displaced.
|Bombs Dropped in Gaza by the Israeli Military
Even if the mainstream media and certain world leaders attempt to sanitize (or even rationalize) the brutality of the aerial attacks on the Palestinians, and the consequent catastrophic destruction of people's living spaces and essential infrastructure in Gaza, the devastating human toll of Israel's military campaign on the civilians in Gaza is evident via the social media, where raw images are published and shared.
Israel's standard refrain of self-defense, which it has used repeatedly in previous military campaigns against Palestinians, i.e., the air strikes are meant to disable Hamas' ability to send rockets into Israel, do not easily resonate with as many people, as it may have done in the past. By the Israeli military's own account, its Iron Dome missile shield is successfully intercepting the Hamas rockets. So far, there has been no reports of Israeli fatalities or serious injuries from the Hamas rocket fire compared to the large numbers of fatalities and injured civilians in Gaza that has been inflicted by the Israeli military. Furthermore, despite the deadly air strikes that Israel claims is targeting Hamas rocket installations "hidden" in civilian residences/mosques/hospitals/schools, Israel has not reported an abatement of Hamas rockets fired into their country. This then lends credence to the growing criticism that Israel is using disproportionate force.
In Israel's two other recent major military campaigns against the Palestinians, one can argue that there is an observable pattern of Israeli military engagement with the Palestinians - an engagement that inflicts as much human suffering and deadly carnage, and infrastructure destruction to Palestinians so as to demonstrate Israeli military dominance and thus gain a period of peace through deterrence.
This engagement policy was apparently developed out of Israel's failures during the 2006 war with South Lebanon, which led to the Dahiyah Doctrine.
In 2008, one top Israeli military officer is quoted saying with regards to the Dahiyah Doctrine: "We will wield disproportionate power against every village from which shots are fired on Israel, and cause immense damage and destruction. From our perspective, these are military bases," he said. "This isn't a suggestion. This is a plan that has already been authorized."
Another top Israeli military officer states: "The answer to rocket and missile threats from Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip is a disproportionate strike at the heart of the enemy's weak spot, in which efforts to hurt launch capability are secondary. As soon as the conflict breaks out, the IDF will have to operate in a rapid, determined, powerful and disproportionate way against the enemy's actions. This strike has to be carried out as quickly as possible, through prioritizing strikes at its assets, rather than chasing after launch sites. Such a response is likely to be remembered by decision makers in Syria and Lebanon for many years, thus deepening deterrence."
Some months after the above comments by the Israeli generals, the Israel's Operation Cast Lead began with devastating consequences, amid revelations that even chemical warfare was used by Israeli military against the civilian population in Gaza.
Operation Cast Lead (2008): Palestinians killed - 1,391. Israelis killed - 13.
Operation Pillar of Defense (2012): Palestinians killed - 171. Israelis killed - 6.
Operation Protective Edge (2014): Palestinians killed so far (July 14, 2014) - 183. Israelis killed - 0.
By one journalist's account, Hamas rocket firings, which averaged 240 per month in 2007 had dropped to five per month in 2013, which was at a "tolerable" level, with no Israeli fatalities, barring the six during exchanges in Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012.
If there was relative peace throughout these last few years, why then have the situation escalated drastically?
If there was relative peace throughout these last few years, why then have the situation escalated drastically?
Possible Purposeful Escalation by Israel
Some have suggested, such as an American Jewish group and a Jewish writer that the Israeli government created an incendiary environment that was conducive to an escalation after three Israeli young men were kidnapped and murdered. Racist commentary targeted at Arabs in the Israeli media creating mass hysteria, false accusations, raiding Palestinian homes, and arbitrary arrests and detainment of hundreds of Palestinians during a three-week search for the missing young men; all of this done, when it was already known that the men had been killed a mere hours after being abducted by unknown assailants. This crucial information was with-held creating a tense situation
Israel pinned the blame on two Palestinian men that they claimed were Hamas members, an assertion that was denied by the men's family members and friends, as well as Hamas itself. After a Palestinian boy was kidnapped and burned alive in a revenge attack, things further deteriorated. And still, Hamas wanted to avoid conflict. Its political head, Khaled Meshal even went so far as to ask Turkey to intervene in the crisis with Israel and to convey a message that Hamas was interested in calming things down.
When Israel killed a Hamas member on June 29 in an air strike, and the Hamas rockets started again (the first since the 2012 cease-fire), which allowed Israel to begin its air strikes with impunity.
Restoring the Power Balance
It has been suggested that Hamas had begun to build up an arsenal of weapons while the Morsi administration was governing in Egypt, allegedly with the latter's help. While it may be difficult for Hamas to do so now with the Sisi administration in Egypt, the perception that Hamas was re-building military capability might have been enough of a concern to Israel. For instance, in March 2014, the Israeli navy claimed to have intercepted a ship headed to Gaza - on board were 40 rockets with 100 mile range.
In this current engagement, Hamas has managed to send rockets to Dimona (location of Israel's nuclear reactors) which is located nearly 65 kilometers from Gaza. And Israeli military spokesman Peter Lerner claimed that a Hamas rocket that struck the town of Hadera, more than 70 miles from Gaza was, similar to those found on the ship stopped by Israel in march. Lerner was quoted as saying: "We said back then that this was a game-changer."
If Israel indeed took advantage of the situation surrounding the three missing (then murdered) young Israeli men, then they may have done so to restore its perceived notion of a power balance. And it is doing so by using its tried and tested Dahiyah Doctrine to display disproportionate power to inflict as much violence and destruction as necessary.
So when Khaled Meshaal of Hamas says that the war was "forced upon us", there would appear to be some truth to it. And as usual, it is the people of Gaza that suffers.
