$1,000: January 2012 – Cassandra Philip (Ukraine, 2010-2012)
This dormitory will have a lasting, sustainable impact, not just for the orphaned Roma children, but also for the citizens of Krivoy Rog. The project will provide invaluable opportunities to educate local Ukrainians about Roma people and dispel undue stigmas. We can then begin to minimize the prejudice and acts of discrimination against Roma that still occur.

text: 5 (Still) Perfect Stars!!Re-read time June 19 to 21 2013.Still perfect after all this time. I've reread this book more than I could count and it never fails to make me laugh, cry and swoon. This book is what made me a fan of Linda Howard's writing. This was Linda Howard at her peak writing form; witty, fun, hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Mr. Perfect is a story about four friends and their idea of Mr. Perfect. The fours friends understood, of course, that Mr. Perfect doesn't really exist in real life but that didn't stop them from making the Mr. Perfect list. It was supposed to stay between them but one thing led to another and suddenly, the ladies find themselves as the newest national sensation. Worst of all, they also attracted the attention of a very disturb and sinister mind who will stop at nothing to hurt them. As to who and why he'd want to hurt them, well, I say, you must read the book because I'm not spoiling anything. :DWhy I love this book...We're all familiar with that book where the heroine meets the hero and it was viola! Instant attraction, lust and even love at first sight. And then we get a heroine who keeps saying in her head, "He's so gorgeous," or "he's the most beautiful man I've ever met," or "he's perfect I wanna devour him." That plus the gushing and clenching their girly parts. This book doesn't have that. You'd get the exact opposite. First of all, Jaine (that's our female MC) thinks that Sam (our male MC) is foul-tempered drunk and a world-class jerk. No ifs and buts about it. She wasn't a bit attracted to him. In fact she contemplated on boiling her fingers because it touched him. :D All she knew was that he was a rough-looking character, and he didn't seem to hold down a regular job. At best, he was a drunk, and drunks could be mean and destructive. At worst, he was involved in illegal stuff, which added dangerous to the list. He was a big, muscular guy, with dark hair cut so short he almost looked like a skinhead. Every time she had seen him, he looked as if he hadn't shaved in two or three days. Add that to the bloodshot eyes and bad temper, and she came up with drunk. It was downright hilarious the moment they "officially" met too. And boy, was Jaine ever wrong about her first impression of the guy. "I haven't had any sleep, any breakfast, or any coffee. I'd better leave before I hurt you." He nodded. "That's a good idea. I'd hate to have to arrest you." She stared at him, taken aback. "What?" "I'm a cop," he said, then turned and walked back into his house. Jaine stared after him, shocked. A cop? "Well, fuck," she said.See, what I mean? That was just refreshing to me. I always find it fascinating when a romance author tries to subvert a well known trope, in this case the insta-attraction or insta-lust trope, and give us something different.Of course, this dislike turned into something a lot more pleasant when Jaine saw Sam in his birthday suit outside her kitchen window. Jaine's inner monologue in that one was seriously funny and seriously hot. I swear reading that part made me wish, I had a hunky neighbor I could perv on. LH described Sam's nakedness and Jaine's reaction to it in way that make you laugh and turn you on at the same time. What then happened wasn't her fault. She was standing at the sink rinsing out her cup when the kitchen light in the house across the way flicked on and Sam walked into view. She stopped breathing. Her lungs seized, and she stopped breathing. "Sweet baby Jesus," she croaked, and managed to inhale.She was seeing more of Sam than she had ever thought she would; everything, in fact. He stood in front of the refrigerator, stark naked. She barely had time to admire his buns before he took a bottle of orange juice from the fridge, twisting off the top and tilting it to his mouth as he turned around. She forgot all about his buns. He was more impressive coming – no pun intended – than he was going, and that was saying something, because his butt was severely cute. The man was hung.In spite of that encounter, they didn't immediately jump into bed and have sex. They had to work out some issues first, plus the fact there was a killer on the loose after Jaine and her friends. But when they did? YOWZA! LH writes some of the best love scenes around. She's not overly descriptive. There's almost like a brusque quality to the way she writes these scenes that does something your imagination. And for someone with a very active imagination like moi, this was just perfect for me.Sam Donovan, or as Jaine referred to him as the jerk, was a wonderfully swoony character. He is alpha without being too over the top and the jerk is funny. He can totally match Jaine in the wit department. Plus, he ain't that bad looking either. Oh, who am I kidding? Sam is gorgeous in a totally manly way and most of all, he's got the right equipment. "I tracked it down on the Web. It was funny stuff – Ms. C." She gaped at him. "How did you know?" she demanded. He snorted. "Like I wouldn't recognize your smart-ass mouth even in print. 'Anything over eight is strictly for show-and-tell'," he quoted at her. "I might have known you'd remember only the sex stuff." "Sex is much on my mind these days. And just for the record – I don't have anything for show-and-tell." If he didn't, he hadn't missed it by much, Jaine thought, remembering with great fondness how he had looked in profile. He continued, "I'm just happy I'm not in the point-and-laugh category."The story was seamlessly told in multiple POVs, with Jaine having the most of them. We also get to be inside the mind of the killer and let me tell you, it was creepy as hell and very disturbing. I have to warn you though, there is much sadness that happened in this book. I won't elaborate anything more than that but this book isn't all hearts and rainbows. But it does have an HEA.Overall, very solid and pretty much unforgettable story from Linda Howard. Definitely worth the five stars!

Here are the most hyped food challenges of the week, you wish you took part in. A week ago on 5th March 2016 Dhaka Foodies held Foodiez Big Saturday Feast. If you missed it, here's what you should know :
Insane, head to head food challenges
- Cooking competitions for home cooks
- The word 'savage' and 'barbarous' are the ultimate winner in the food dictionary
1. The Naga burger challenge
How many of you are wishing you could indulge into this beasty goodness already?
Two brave pairs stepped up from the crowd to fight the battle between salivating tastebuds and tear ducts.Tears were shed, hearts were burned. Eventually one of the pairs gave up and the other could finally enjoy the sweet taste of victory and ofcourse water. When asked about their biggest obstacle , "Dhongsho !" is what the winners had to cry out while one of the competitors was busy rolling on the stage gasping for air.
The winners with their 500 taka coupon and The Dhaka Foodiez award.
Kuddos to the man for putting up that smile for the camera.
2. Knorr home cook challenge
The very first round where a male judge who prefers spice in his cuisine was chosen and guess what?
We had our first winner in blue-t with his spicy Knorr noodles.
Much love to our little girl who stepped up to compete.
Glassed hall packed with home cooks, a pantry, cooking counters out in the sun, fifteen minutes and a huge green gift box wrapped in a pretty green ribbon.
Let's face it, when it comes to serving food for the family on time, our home cooks are invincible. There were three competitions with hourly intervals. There were cooks who forgot their salt, one took an entire case of eggs in the haste and one even forgot to cook the minced chicken and added the pink flesh at the very last minute. Yet, we had three talented winners who wooed the judges chosen randomly from the crowd.
The second round where a young teenager was the judge who rather preferred a saucy palate. Founder of Dhaka Foodies handing out the gift to our second winner (who also happens to be my mom)
That'd be our last Knorr home chef winner, thanks to the dude in the fancy fedora.
3. Pizza Lavita
There's no such thing as too much cheese with toppings on fermented bread – believed our pizza loving competitors. Three lucky, lucky , goddamn lucky pairs were chosen from the crowd and from them we had our winners, who finished first, twinning in their NSU club tshirts. It's cute seeing two people feed one another while the other has their hands behind their back, all to win a title!
Did I forget to mention that fingers were bit?
4. Nando's spicy Peri-Peri chicken challenge
Black spoons and forks wrapped in printed tissue for them gluttons, how fancy is that? Nando's, I like your sense of humor.
Oh lord, give us our murgi and khichudi and watch us Bangalis take over the world. Equal number of girls and boys were chosen to finish the mouthwatering plate of our very favourite Nando's meal.
And like a proud Bangali, we had all our competitors getting their hands messy and their chicken pierced with their polished canines and mouth filled with beautiful, yellow rice. Atlast, we had our true barbaric winner honored with a Nando's coupon!
5. Zero –Cal juice bar challenge
This was probably the most healthiest of them all!
Well, the contestants had the most colourful array of flasks of juices from orange, mango, strawberry, cranberry, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple to even milk and soda cans. And ofcourse , Zero-Cal sugar sashes. They were given a time limit and one of those fancy steel shakers Tom Cruise uses in Cocktail and asked to make the most out-of-the-world drink that'd make anyone's tastebuds go craycray.
Turns out our friend here didn't really have the greatest time judging the drinks .
And we have our winner !
6.Polar Icecream challenge
Now this was the absolute crowd favourite !
There wasn't a single lack of spoilsports ( boo you guys) but among the snobs we were also able to find the true foodies.Don't let the shiny scoops of polar caps melt you from the inside. We had two rounds of this brain freezing challenge, each with two teams of three. All with theirs hands behind their back and heads in the milky goodness, eating, gulping, swallowing away being the very true hearted foodie that they are.
A big shout out to these three men who were the true spirit of the entire event. They didn't let any challenge go by without being present in front row cheering their hearts out , pumping up everyone and anyone around them. YOU GO BOYS !
Godbless you guys and your foodie heart . Much love from Dhaka Foodiez.
The last match of the day . The last two teams battling for free cartoon of icecream, woot !
I present you the youngest and the most adored competitors of the day.

Sisters, 1984
Oil on Canvas
51" x 63" (129 1/2cm x 160cm)
About this work
"Sisters" depicts the hard life that the Red Army experienced during the Long March (1934). It was particularly difficult for female soldiers and the artist has given the painting the title as a way of saying that these four women had to unite as 'sisters' to survive. Their clothing and the decorative sword on the back of the figure in the foreground indicate that maybe they were members of a cultural troupe and not combatants. Buried in the arms of the woman who lies directly underneath the hat is an infant. One can only imagine the hardships these individuals experienced. This poignant scene is painted in a Socialist Realist style commonly taught in Chinese art academies in the 1950's and 1960's. As "Sisters" was painted, however, in 1984, it is a reminder that young artists in the Post Cultural Revolution period of the 1980's were still transitioning both technically and ideologically.

Voice of Hibakusha
Voice of Hibakusha: "The first atomic bomb actually used in war time was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945 killing between 130,000 and 150,000 people by the end of that year. Those who survived the bombing are rapidly aging now after struggling for many years. The Hiroshima Peace and Culture Foundation has decided to newly videotape the testimonies of 100 A-bomb victims to commemorate the International Year of Peace 1986 to record the precious experiences of these survivors to be handed down to the future generations. " Check out some of the eye-witness accounts.

The airport in Columbus, Ohio is a terribly small, boring place where you may find yourself trapped, like purgatory. Miraculously, however, they have free wireless, so in the ultimate travel geekiness, I'm blogging from the airport. I've back updated again -- that must be getting annoying -- with a March 31, 2007 post (still lacking one of the photos I wanted to add) and an April 13, 2007 post.

3D reconstruction in progress ..
... the full scale model of the Soviet lunar rover Lunokhod 1, the first robotic vehicle ever to roll on the surface of another celestial body in 1970-1971, fallen into neglect in a container at the backyard of some russian space institute, spotted and photographed by a visitor in 2010.
[ :: Of course for the sake of the complete story it must be added that the Russian Institute for Space Research was quick to point out that this and other models were handed it in that desolate state and that the models were just about to be lovingly restored by the institute.
Today the restored models are on display in the institute. :: ]
Anyway, browsing the web I stumbled by chance upon this image about two years ago, and it brought back nostalgic memories of a visit to the USSR way back in the 1980s when I had visited the Cosmos Pavillon at the Exhibition of Economic Achievements (VDNKh) in Moscow, a huge exhibition full of similar live-size replica models of historic soviet spacecraft.
I wondered what had become of the place and searched the web. It was sad to learn that the Cosmos Pavillon as a space exhibition didn't make it through the early 1990s. Only some of the exhibits were relocated to the nearby Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics and the building was used for multiple purposes since, a.o. a car dealer shop, a garden shopping mall, agricultural or sports exhibition venue.
For many years the image of Yuri Gagarin overlooking the scenery was still in its place but covered with a cloth .. a sad sight again.
As for the somewhat weird (I guess) idea of reconstructing the space exhibition as a 3D virtuality it might be appropriate to say something about ...
My name is Jens Mondry, I'm a physicist and work in the fields of spectral analysis, color and thin film measurement. As a sideline interest I do 3D modelling and animation for medical visualisation.
In-between my medical 3D projects, however, I try to stay up-to-date with my tools and skills in 3D modelling. This is best done by doing real 3D projects with a purpose .. and so the whole idea took shape.
Since my childhood I have been a spaceflight and science fiction enthusiast. So with the 3D tools at my disposal the natural thought was "Why not try to re-create the experience and the nostalgic space-age charm of this special place(s) in a 3D reconstruction?"
A few months ago I started putting things together in earnest. I started to outline the buildings of both Lost Exhibitions, and of course started to modell some of the exhibits. The results of the modelling are displayed on these webpages. The project of course is in a very early stage, being carried forward mainly in the spare time I have or during holidays. So progress is somewhat sporadic.
In the course of this first modelling practises I soon realised that you need a LOT of pictures, especially high res pictures, taken at the exhibition, to create convincing models of the exhibits and the place itself. Therefore I'm asking visitors to support this project by sharing their pictures of the lost exhibitions.
The ultimate goal, however, would be to allow people to freely walk through these Lost Exhibitions in virtual space and explore the atmosphere and the exhibits at their leisure.
I do not want to create and maintain separate low-poly, low texture versions of the 3D worlds for the sake of walkthrough, so I'm occasionally monitoring current technologies for stand-alone or online visualisation straight from the 3dsmax scenes as they are. I might give some of these technologies a trial shot in the nearer future (and put the results online), but at the moment I feel the compromises of quality vs. perfomance are still too demanding to get the atmosphere and the educational content across.
I'm optimistic that within a few years communication bandwidth and software technology will allow for a higher quality scenario. Until then I will continue to try to complete and expand the virtual exhibitions and do nice renderings ... we'll see.

Welcome to
Kermunklin and I welcome you to our homepage. My name is William Ryan Fletcher, and I'll be your host for this evening. This web page is a result of Dr. Robert K. Wallace's English/Honors class entitled "Melville and Other Arts." In the course of the class, we students read
Moby Dick
and kept logs concerning our thoughts about the novel and the class discussions which followed each reading assignment. We took a trip to Northwestern University near Chicago to view various artists' interpretations of differentthemes in
Moby Dick
. Perhaps as a result of this trip, all of us students then decided to create our own artwork inspired by Melville's novel. And now one year after the onset of the class, it continues to go on. Some of the things we're doing in this second installment of "Melville and Other Arts" include returning to Chicago, only this time it is to see OUR art exhibit based on
Moby Dick
, creating more and more artwork inspired by Herman's pet Whale, and reading Mellville's compelling but widely unknown sequel to
Moby Dick
Ahab's Adventures Beyond Outer Space
, or
Interstellar Overdrive
. It's basically a buddy story about the enduring friendship of Captain Ahab and Moby Dick in the afterlife, and how they save the universe from a horde of demonic Space Lawyers. Alright, so maybe that last bit about the sequel was a fib, but it would make for an interesting read. On a more realistic note seven of us Moby Students attended a humanities conference in Utah with Dr. Wallace in March of 97. It was all right:).
As part of the original course, each student had to choose one artist from the art exhibit (based, by the way, on Beth Schultz's art text titled
Unpainted to the Last
, which is a complete history of artworks inspired by the fearsome whale) and write an interpretive essay on the our artist's work. The artist I chose was Gilbert Wilson. His excellent Insanity Series is here on the web, along with my interpretation of each picture. The Insanity Series is a series (duh) of six portraits chronicling Ahab's descent into madness. Also included on this site are a few pictures from the tiny art book that I created for this class, quotes and factoids about Gilbert Wilson, and my slightly overdramatic log entry concerning the trip to the Schultz exhibit in Chicago. Enjoy.
*Take me to Gilbert Wilson's

Bishop Tutu's rugby and cricket update
In the news, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu said that "rampant corruption and crime in South Africa was 'horrible,' and added that affirmative action had been poorly applied and had resulted in the appointment of inefficient and incompetent people occupying jobs they did not deserve.
"However, rugby and cricket helped in uniting the nation, he said".
Sports are wonderful. Not surprisingly, affirmative action is not practiced on the playing field.
The latest County cricket reports are here.

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FIVE Part III
Why Choose to be a Foolish, not a Wise Virgin? – Part 3
A man is too apt to forget that in this world
he cannot have everything. A choice is all that is left him.
H. Matthews, Diary of an Invalid
Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight, says the Lord. Jeremiah 9: 23, 24, N.K.J.V.
"This is the most precious reproof and encouragement, the most important lesson for every soul that is trying to serve God. Here is expressed in plain words that in which the Lord delights. All who understand and know God will know Him as One that exercises loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness. If they walk humbly with God they will be enabled to keep the way of the Lord, to do His will in all kindness, compassion, mercy, tenderness, and love, for God has said, 'In these things I delight.' Then how careful should we be in regard to the fruit of the lips, that we dishonor not God by dealing unkindly with the purchase of His blood. If we express the character of God, we shall be Christian gentlemen and gentlewomen . . . .
"Those who know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior have the privilege of being educated and trained in a higher school than that of men, and of being tutored under higher wisdom than that of finite beings. They may come under the tutorship of the greatest Teacher the world ever knew, and partake of the same knowledge that He gave to Daniel [Dan. 1: 17-20]. Those who arehumble in heart [not as a pretense to obtain the praise of men, not God], those who feel their need of a higher and do not rely upon their finite judgment, but search earnestly to know the will of God, may draw from the Source of all knowledge, and obtain grace, prudence and discretion and judgment [a clear conscience and acquired ability to discern between the genuine and counterfeit as tested by the Word]. They will realize the fulfillment of the assurance of God's Word: 'The entrance of Thy words giveth life; it giveth understanding to the simple (humble}." (Ps. 119: 130)." – E. G. White, That I May Know Him (devotional), p. 127.
We must choose to be part of the final antitypical wise virgins in these most solemn closing hours of earth's probation that commenced in the fall of 1844 as the antitypical Day of Atonement—the closing work of Christ in the most holy of the heavenly sanctuary as merciful High Priest and righteous Judge of all the earth. "For we shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ . . . So then each of shall give account of himself to God."Rom. 14: 10, 12. This is the pre-advent or investigative judgment that many professed Bible-based Christians adamantly refuse to accept for obvious reasons—they choose to believe they can be eternally saved by their pick-and-choose method of interpreting the everlasting gospel by leaving out wide swaths of the Old and New Testament that clearly reveal God's way in His plan of redemption as fleshed out in simple yet spiritually profound detail in the sanctuary doctrine. This was the foundation of the whole Jewish economy. As David, who received from God the detailed specifications for the building of the sanctuary wrote: "Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary." Ps.27: 13. "The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation and central pillar of the advent faith, was the declaration, 'Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuarybe cleansed.' Dan. 8: 14. These had been familiar words to all believers in the Lord's soon coming [represented as the ten virgins in the parable]." – Ibid, Great Controversy, 1911 ed., p. 409.
The rejecters of the comprehensive sanctuary doctrine have zealously tried all means, including twisting the Scriptures and employing renowned pastors, ministers, theologians, and Bible commentators to discredit, debunk, and even demonize it in their pulpits and official literature, hoping the doctrine will get buried in time and by their sustained attacks in desperate confederacy, but in vain! The majority of the antediluvians mocked and jeered Noah and his faithful warnings of a coming global deluge and the preparation needed to escape it. But they became even more vehement in their ridicule and contempt. However, all their combined efforts against an unpopular yet present testing truth for their generation could not prevent the Flood from occurring at its God-appointed, prophesied time. "It shall come to pass," thus saith the Lord."
The wise virgins in these last days, "ask, seek, and knock for the Holy Spirit" in their daily prayers. (Please find time as soon as possible to read and contemplate on Luke 11: 1-13 for yourself. You may be surprised to find that even if we do earnestly and persistently pray for everything we think are essential and good but not even half as much for the Holy Spirit! No wonder we are so weak in faith and courage to stand our ground in defense of unpopular truth! That certainly does not class us among the wise virgins!
In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, the Holy Spirit is symbolized as "oil"– one of the four symbols employed in the Bible to represent the third Person of the Godhead's character, personality, and nature of work on earth as Christ's one and only appointed Vicegerent. This Jesus almost "over emphasized" to His disciples. Thusly, everyone and anyone who claims to be Christ's vicegerent on earth is an impostor at the very least; at its worst, he is antichrist.
In the parable, the wise virgins refuse to grant the request of the foolish virgins "to give them oil for their lamps were going out." Indeed, for character is non-transferable. The "lamp" of profession of faith can only emit true enlightening light, and last through the night, only if fueled by the Holy Spirit. The wise virgins remain spiritually wide awake, working, watching, and patiently waiting for the glorious second advent of the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. They are humble in heart, constantly resisting, by God's grace, the powerful temptation to glory in the precious wisdom they are obtaining through continuous searching of the scriptures and application of its principles to their daily life. Thus they are daily growing in the knowledge of and likeness of the Lord. But they are never beyond temptation as long as they are in the mortal flesh and Satan is alive!
The seventh and last stage of the true remnant church of the last days, clearly described in Revelation as composed of "the saints who patiently keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus," as well as have "the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the spirit of prophecy," are afflicted with a specific spiritual malady— Laodiceanism or lukewarmness. Those afflicted are "wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked," in God's sight, that is. But there is a divine cure offered. The remnant or remainder of her— the Church's seed (for the generic Romanized Church has long fallen away in apostasy), are in the minority, even unheard of in many parts of the world. But not for long!
In the soon-coming loud cry of the Revelation 18 angel movement—the globally-expandedmidnight cry that took place in the summer of 1844, trumpeting the startling message, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh, Go ye out and met Him!", empowered by the Holy Spirit in the latter rain when the mark of the beast of Revelation 13 is finally enacted and enforced by the "image of the beast," this remnant church is never to be confused for the "beast" of prophecy also identified symbolically as "the great whore or harlot with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication" and "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and the Abominations of the Earth." This is the woman-church that "is drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus." Rev. 17: 2, 4-6.
Towards his 120th year Moses assembled ancient Israel to carefully listen and diligently do all that God commanded them in preparation for their soon entry into the earthly Promised Land. Read these chapters for yourself for the same principles of the command is given to us, spiritual Israel, as we prepare, if we are truly preparing, for earth's closing events that immediately precede Christ's glorious return, and the long-awaited entrance into the antitypical Promised Land, Heaven itself, as Jacob's eternal inheritance. It is a choice of life or death, nothing in between as a compromise for it is based on satisfying specific conditions as all the necessary divine provisions are included as a package in the command, with their corresponding consequences and rewards. Take note Christian "virgins" awaiting the coming the Bridegroom:
"For this commandment which I command you today, it is not too mysterious for you, nor is far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it? Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it? But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
"See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you got to possess.
But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven and earth as a witness today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live." Deut. 30, 1, 15-20, N.K.J.V.
Paul refers us back to the antediluvians of Noah's time and wrote for the New Testament Church: "Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape that you may be able to bear it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry." 1 Cor. 10:11-14, N.K.J.V. One of the subtlest temptations for Christians who are not willing to totally submit their will to God, is clinging to the idol of one's opinion on self-serving doctrinal interpretations that apparently support their chosen lifestyles, and Cain-like, . Then pride prevents them from giving it up.
From the most original unvarnished truth recorded by the Word of God in the simplest of languages, free of all the gobbledygook, tortuous legalese, twisting and turning jargon of the philosophical and ideological demagogues and so-called "higher criticism" (it incredibly sounds what it really is, a criticism of God and His word), the Creation account of the origin of man—God's masterpiece and crowning act of creation–can never be labeled as fake news, as hard as the enemies of truth have tried and will stubbornly continue trying in vain!
Thank God, there is hope for the foolish! Not once-saved-always-saved also means not once-a-foolish-virgin-always-a-foolish-virgin, i.e., if one's probation is still open as he is still alive or has not fully grieved away the Holy Spirit by persistently refusing to yield to the conviction and merciful repeated invitation to repent of their cherished, secret sins that God knows. Such finally commit the unpardonable sin. (Matt. 12: 31, 32)
On the other hand, one may start out as a wise virgin but in time because of the "long wait" for the Bridegroom to come, their eyes that once were single to the glory of God (Matt. 6: 22, 23 )begin to wander and in time turn to the bewitching attractions of the world. One step leads to the next. Carelessly letting down the full armor of God (Eph. 6: 10-18), which they once fully donned, they soon fall for the wiles of the devil, and, procrastinating to repent and forsake their sins, eventually end up being a foolish virgin to whom the door of mercy–not in the Vatican in their recent Jubilee Year—but in the Heavenly sanctuary where Christ as High Priest, Mediator, and Judge has been ministering, is forever shut. But once again we are told: "Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Isa. 1: 18.

Quoted from Wikipedia:
Tulum ( (Tulu'um in Modern Maya) ; in Spanish orthography, Tulum) is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Cobá.[1] The ruins are located on 12-meter (39 ft) cliffs, along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.[1] One of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, Tulum is today a popular site for tourists.[1]

Large portions of the adults in the Texas have spent time in prison and many have been convicted of a felony. Depending on the nature of the crime, it is still possible to retain custody rights after your conviction. Many Texas parents have a criminal background and overcome to raise loving children.
There are some crimes that will steer a jury in the direction of terminating the child custody rights of a parent who has been convicted of a serious crime. These include examples such as child abuse, violent crimes and sexual felonies — especially those that involved a child. If a person has committed several crimes over a period of time, or has a history of violent behavior, the court might remove custody, but allow visitation. All situations are decided at the discretion of legal authorities.
Legal custody allows the parent to remain active in making important decisions in the child's life. These include making medical and educational decisions, but having legal custody does not give rights for visitation or physical custody; physical custody means that the child will live with the parent full time, or at least for a majority of the time.
A parent who is convicted of a crime might have legal or physical custody, or simply none at all. The court system will decide if the parent is fit and able to safely retain custody of their child. If you would like more information on this topic, speaking to an experienced attorney. This post is only an overview of child custody rights and should not be taken as legal advice.

Amazing Photos Of The Baltic Sea
March 17, 2018 | PHOTOGRAPHY | No Comments|
The Baltic Sea is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean, enclosed by Scandinavia, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Germany and the North and Central European Plain.
I am a photographer living by the Baltic Sea. That sea is considered by many people to be uninteresting.
I think that's not true. I like getting out of bed before dawn, going to the sea, watching and photographing. And every time I am convincing myself that the Baltic Sea is a beautiful sea! At any time of the year, in any weather, it shows many of its faces: calm and quiet, angry and dynamic. Romantic and noisy. Cold as ice and hot as fire.

It is small, but its horn is filled with poison. It charges then stabs with the horn to inject the poison.
Pokémon Gold Pokédex Entry
By the evening feeding time, the entire mob, except Lumi, Taishou and Taishou's mate, was told the news. Taishou! But he'd always loathed pale Nidos! It must have just been a facade, no Nidorino, let alone the darkest of the mob, would want to be known to have mating with the lightest. And how else could Kuu have ended up so dark? And so it was decided, Taishou was Kuu's father.
During that feeding session, Kuu's brothers and sisters all bounded up to him with eager looks in their eyes. Aamu nudged Kukka, and he stepped forward. "Kuu," he asked timidly, "Can you teach us to fight?" Four pairs of pleading eyes looked into Kuu's own.
He grinned and nodded. "Of course!" he spluttered through a mouthful of grass, "When?"
"Now," Aamu said mischievously.
Kuu swallowed the grass. "Okay, Jaa, you tell Mummy we go battle."
Jaa grinned broadly and bounded off to their mother while her four siblings made their way to an area free of Nidos so they would not be interrupted, then she followed after them.
Kuu frowned, trying to remember exactly what Taishou had said about Leer. "Okay," he said carefully, "First I teach you leer. It look like this." He thought again of his whole family being taken away from him, and how angry he would be. He found that the cool blue glow came to his eyes even easier than it had at their last training session.
His siblings were genuinely scared. They slowly backed away, instinctively thinking Kuu was going to do something to them. Kuu giggled and allowed his eyes to return to their normal state. His four students looked at each other and grinned.
"You mean we can do that?" Aamu asked, awed.
Kuu nodded. "Just imagine that someone has taken Mummy away and won't give her back. Think about how angry it would make you."
They all glared hard at the imaginary thing that was taking Mummy. "You have to be really really angry," Kuu prompted, "The someone is hurting Mummy, scratching and biting her!"
Eventually, Hamara's eyes glowed a faint blue, slowly intensifying. Kukka's followed, but Aamu and Jaa had no luck. Nothing would come.
"Kuu," Aamu whined, exasperated, "Why it no work?"
Kuu shook his head, "I don't know. It should." He was bewildered. How come his sisters couldn't perform Leer? "Keep trying. Really hard, you get it sooner or later." But still nothing happened, not even a blue spark.
Jaa gave up and flopped down on the grass. "I ask Mummy. It no work," she sighed. Aamu flopped down next to her, thoroughly exhausted. Their eyes hurt from trying, but not a single thing happened.
"Kuu," Aamu asked, "Can we learn to attack? I no like Leer, dunnae work."
"Okay," Kuu replied, "But we rest first."
The three brothers lay down next to their sisters in the dry brown grass and all five of them dozed off in the pleasantly warm spring sunshine.
A sudden ear-splitting scream split the day apart, abruptly waking the happily dozing Nidoran. They were horrified to see that the scream came from Aamu, who now hung limp in the strong jaws of a massive orange, black and cream Pokémon, like a huge Nidorino with small ears, long legs and fluff around its muzzle. The fluff was now stained red from their sister. The Pokémon crunched down on Aamu's tiny blue body, then swallowed her, with a satisfied gulp.
The remaining four siblings stared in pure terror at the heartless Pokémon, unable to move for their fear. The Pokémon licked its jaws and clamped them around Kukka's pale pink body. He squealed the same blood-curdling screech Aamu had given in her last moments of life before he too suffered her fate.
Kuu was not about to let this happen to his last two siblings, and threw his best leer at the Pokémon, not realising that this was ironically the situation Taishou had put before him just over a day ago. The Growlithe stared down at him and flinched slightly, then showed him its own leer.
Kuu was unfazed. He lowered his horn and charged at the Growlithe's face, hitting it hard in the side of its muzzle. He felt some strange liquid squeeze through the end of his horn, but thought nothing of it for the time.
The Growlithe closed its eyes tight and yelped, pawing at its face where Kuu had hit it. He ran at it again, this time jabbing it in between its eyes. Again the liquid cursed through his horn. He subconsciously wondered what the liquid was, but thought again of what this creature had done to his family, then scratched madly at its face.
Hamara and Jaa looked on, stunned. Their brother was brave. Jaa's instincts kicked in, and she turned her tail and tore off, back to the burrow where Mummy was. Hamara's instincts made an appearance too, and he ran up beside Kuu, slashing at the merciless predator.
The Growlithe yelped again, then leapt up and streaked off in a flash of orange and black, away from the ruthless young Nidoran who it thought would be an easy feed.
As they watched it leave, Kuu and Hamara were struck with grief. Kukka and Aamu were gone forever, nothing was going to bring them back. They both hugged each other, remembering their happy faces, not the faces of agony from minutes earlier. Tears streamed down their cheeks. Both brothers were convinced it was their fault that Kukka and Aamu had been eaten. If only they had attacked, if only they had been awake and known the creature was there, if only they had managed to get them out of the way before it attacked, if only
Lumi pelted up the hill to them, closely followed by Jaa. Her eyes were red from the idea that she had lost two of her children who she had looked after so well. If only she had taught them to fight, if only she had come with them, if only
"Hamara, Kuu, are you okay," she panted.
"Mummy!" they cried.
"A big orange Pokémon came while we were asleep," Kuu sobbed.
"Kuu was teaching us to fight really well," Hamara wept.
"And it ate Kukka and Aamu!" Kuu cried.
"And then Kuu ran and attacked it!" Hamara blubbered.
"And then Hamara attacked it too!"
"And then it ran away!"
"Shh, shh," Lumi interrupted, hugging her sons, "You're safe now, you're safe, everything's going to be all right," but she knew it wouldn't.
"But Mummy," Kuu sniffed into her icy blue fur, "It's my fault!"
"No it's not, you were very brave to attack that big orange Pokémon, and you both did it, all on your own. I'm proud of you."
Hamara and Kuu looked up at their mother with red, tear-stained eyes. "Really?" Hamara mumbled.
On their way through the mob back to the burrow, the Nidos all stared at the mournful family minus two. Aanekas approached Kuu and asked him what had happened. Kuu just sniffed and shot a half-hearted leer at her, then hopped slowly into the burrow.
Aanekas stopped and blinked after him in shock. Why had he leered her? What did she do? She shrugged and went back to her gossip group and told them. After discussing it for a while, they came to the conclusion that it must have something to do with Taishou being his father and with Aanekas spreading the word about it.
Aanekas wasn't convinced. Why would Kuu not want everyone knowing his dad was the head of the mob? They decided to give it up for the evening and made their ways to their own burrows. They'd find out somehow.
Lumi's burrow was very silent that night. The only sounds were the occasional sniff when one of the Nidoran remembered the scene, or when Lumi thought of her children.
Kuu's training the next morning seemed to just drift by him. His mind was not on tackling, defending or leering, he just kept wishing he had done something different, anything to save his brother and sister.
Taishou noticed and carefully took him aside during tackling practice, telling Noki to wait where he was.
"You don't seem to be yourself lately," he said, with a concerned tone, "Anything wrong?"
Kuu looked at the ground and sniffed, not replying.
"Kuu?" Taishou asked again.
Kuu looked up with doleful eyes. "A big orange Pokémon ate Kukka and Aamu and it's all my fault," he whispered, turning his eyes again to the ground.
Taishou didn't really know what to say to this. "I'm sure it's not your fault."
"How you know? You weren't there." Kuu's voice was almost scornful.
"Tell me exactly what happened," Taishou said soothingly. By this time the seven other young Nidoran had joined them, and all of them, including the guards, were shocked at the tale Kuu told. Taishou in particular was amazed that he and his brother were able to scare the Growlithe away. There was silence when Kuu had finished. Tears ran freely down his cheeks again. Then Taishou spoke.
"Kuu, that was a very brave thing you did. No Nidoran as young as you has ever faced up to a Growlithe before, let alone won. You say you lost two of your siblings, but you must remember that in doing so, you managed to save the other two."
Kuu looked up into his warm, friendly eyes and forced a smile. When he put it that way, it didn't hurt quite so much, but he still felt responsible.
"Ready to practice tackling again?" Taishou asked.
Kuu nodded. "Okay," he whispered.
Kuu was thankful that Noki didn't ask any questions about the horrible creature he now knew was called a Growlithe. He hoped he would some day forget the incident, but somehow knew that wouldn't happen. That was one memory that would stay with him for the rest of his life.

What is the primary reason most women don't pursue their dreams? You guessed it: fear.
We fear failure, rejection, mistakes, and social stigma and that stops us from pursuing our career or business aspirations.
What is the antidote to fear? Courage.
In my new book UNDETERRED: The Six Success Habits of Women in Emerging Economies, I devote a chapter to how regular women around the world exhibit courage to succeed.
While on my speaking tour in Georgia a couple of months ago, I met hundreds of courageous Georgian women. Four women in particular stood out to me. I think they will inspire you too.
Tamar Qachashvili, an entrepreneur and Director of Caucasus Genetics demonstrates her courage by running a business in a male dominated industry.
"If women come out of their comfort zone and try new things, if they have enough determination and bravery to follow their dreams, nothing can stop them. Building a career is hard work and every step of development requires determination, patience, bravery and readiness for development. Perseverance is the main feature of a successful person – you have to get back on your feet as many times as life knocks you down. I've learned from mistakes. Every problem and difficulty has been the platform for my future success. I believe that failures make us stronger and move us forward if they are analyzed correctly."
Nutsa Dzamashvili, International Relations Student and an intern at U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi who accompanied me on my trip has the high aspiration to be a Fulbright Scholar.
"I am not afraid of failure, and disappointment can't defeat me because I believe in tomorrow and in new possibilities. I am ready for the challenge. My dream and desire to be a professional in my field gives me the strength and motivation to be much more organized and dedicated to work."
Mariam Perishvili, Management Student, Social Media & Events Organizer, Ilia State University Business School, courageously shared her views about being "good enough" with her peers in an auditorium at Ilia State University.
"I realized that [people] saw me as a fragile little creature that needed help, that could never in million years commit to something and make it happen. But that is not true. I've spent hours and hours studying math, just to prove that I am good enough; working out every day and running not just as fast, but faster than men, to prove that I am good enough; and now, pursuing a career in business fearlessly, because I am the only person that can define what I am and am not cut out for; and YES, I am just good enough."
At the same Ilia event, Larisa Pataraia, Doctorate Student at Ilia State University, Blogger at Forbes Georgia shared the courage it will take to achieve gender equality in Georgia.
"It will take years to achieve gender equality in our society, but it also depends on what we do to change existing realities. Society at large is in a position to change gender inequality in Georgia, but we need champions – persons who will take leadership to identify this problem and advocate for change. In November 2014, the Georgian Women's Movement declared itself an agent of social change. It unites over 500 women activists who raise their voice against violence and discrimination. The Movement advocates equal rights and opportunities for all. Women in Georgia will continue to struggle for equality but one day there won't exist a glass ceiling for us. We believe that we can strengthen each other with full support, based on our shared values."
In my research for UNDETERRED, I uncovered that courage comes from taking the actions you are afraid to take and from the supportive networks we build around ourselves. Women grow in their courage when they spend time with people who believe in them and encourage their professional success. What about you? Are you taking steps toward realizing your goals? Do you have a network, supportive family, or a like-minded group that helps you be courageous?
No matter where you are, take another step forward. You will find courage on the other side of your fears.
For more examples of courage and courageous women, buy the book UNDETERRED at thewaywomenwork.com or pick up a copy at Prospero's bookstore in Tbilisi.

California's $1 billion plan to cut diesel emissions includes the promise of free money.
There is, of course, a catch: Trucks participating in the goods movement emission reduction program will be asked to install monitoring devices so state officials can track their whereabouts.
California is preparing to spend $1 billion to cut diesel emissions from the goods movement industry, including $400 million specifically for trucking.
Under the Proposition 1B program, local governments and other public entities may apply to CARB for funding that can in turn be given to replace or retrofit diesel truck engines, electrify truck stops, and go toward a variety of other emission sources tied to freight transportation.
Truckers and other interested parties have two weeks to comment on the plan, which will be considered formally by the California Air Resources Board on Feb. 28.
Predictably, CARB's 151-page document, which outlines the agency's proposed guidelines, contains several layers of red tape for distribution of the $1 billion among trucks and locomotives that travel on California's most polluted four trade corridors.
A CARB spokeswoman told Land Line by e-mail that truck drivers should "go directly to one of the local agencies that were approved to receive funds from ARB."
"Staff believes that only existing equipment that has been registered and operating in California for the last two years should be eligible for funding," said Patricia Rey, a CARB spokeswoman.
Rey also wrote that "equipment funded by the bond needs to operate exclusively or nearly exclusively in California for between four and 20 years, depending on equipment type to ensure Californians realize the full benefits of their investment."
CARB should decide and declare which public agencies will receive funds by spring 2008.
Bond funding for Prop 1B will typically cover one-third to one-half of the total project cost, with the remaining match paid by local agencies, ports or the equipment owner, Rey said.
CARB staff is considering "widespread use of electronic monitoring devices" on bond-funded equipment, the proposed program guidelines say. Such devices could include passive GPS systems that don't track in real-time but require downloads, real-time GPS tracking devices, and radio-frequency identification.
Comments can be made by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com, by calling the Goods Movement Information Line at 916 44-GOODS (444-6637), or by mailing to:
Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program
Planning and Technical Support Division
California Air Resources Board
PO Box 2815
Sacramento CA 95812
The proposed program guidelines call for marketing and outreach of the program to target independent owner-operator truck drivers.

We have traveled fourteen thousand kilometers to work here in Uganda. Why would I do that? Why would I do it every three months? Especially after the novelty of experiencing Africa has worn away it would be natural for me to find my attention drifting to new unchartered places.
I think back when I was 24 years old and I gave birth to my first son, Donny. This little person gave me a job to do that I could never have been equipped or able to do. It was exhausting and often confusing as I tried to make the correct choices. The only thing that could make me persevere in that difficult task was LOVE. Because I was flooded with a love for this baby I was willing to do anything to figure out how to do this mothering job even though I had no idea what I was doing or what I would do next. And that little guy exhausted me to my very limit then demanded more.
Cross cultural orphan care is as difficult a task for me now as it was when I tried to learn to be a mother for the first time. My degree in missions comes from the school of hard knocks. Oh my, I will one day tell the stories of how difficult our path has been to achieve our beautiful family of 17 orphaned children. Those labor pains make birth seem like a holiday in comparison. Why would we persevere under such pressure and opposition? What was in us to carry on? Everyone would have understood if we gave up. The bravest soldiers know when to raise the white flag. Where was ours?
LOVE is the source of my curious drive to work in this culture. This is not the ordinary love that comes when we feel good and it is pleasurable. The source of the love that drives me comes from God and like a pitcher he fills me up so it will pour out. There's no choice but to spill it when there's so much of it coming in. The obedience and surrender to his will for my life is what determines where this extraordinary love will spill. It might have been nice and easy to spill that love into a home on the ocean where we could enjoy relaxing family time reveling in the majesty of God's creation with each wave that crashes the shore. I could really "love" decorating a place with ocean views and perhaps riding my horse along the shore at a full gallop. That dream wouldn't have aged me as much as this work in Uganda.
No. There's no leisure in the plans for my life. Long ago God put a love in my heart for the people and culture of Uganda. I can only shrug because I am not sure why it hit me so hard. I also loved Shanghai, Chile, Italy, England, Ireland, France and Costa Rica. For goodness sakes, I love the beach. It was a different smashing love that knocked me over when I experienced the people of Uganda. I can try to explain why but it will surely fall short. I especially am drawn to the women because they carry the full load of responsibility. It is so rare to see a strong man leading a family here, most of them abandon their families, die in accidents, or from HIV/AIDS. The women work the land, take care of children, cook, clean, do laundry by hand, and try to do any small business they can to earn the money to pay school fees for their children. And when I greet these women they are warm, hospitable, and stoic. Their lips drip words of praise to a God who keep them alive and thanks for what little they have.
After my first experience in Uganda in October 2009, Craig and I followed the prompts we felt in our hearts to adopt a child from here. Surely we could help just one of the two million orphans in this country. When we adopted Kira, we prayed for and sought a ministry opportunity to serve the orphaned children in this country. And along that journey we got an excellent education about the darker side of working here. We went head to head against the corruption, greed, fraud and exploitation of vulnerable children. We suffered. There was no epidural for those labor pains. I am sure I often cried to God for relief. At the end of the day he took me to my very edge of my endurance.
The odd and unexpected result of our problems was that Craig and I were more committed than ever to continue to help orphaned children here. The love we had didn't diminish it intensified. We had to learn how to avoid the conmen and fraudsters and do this work for the benefit of the neediest children. And we could see how rare it was to actually get the aid to benefit the children.
Only an uncommon love could move us to do this work. This uncommon love comes from an uncommon God who did the uncommon for mankind by sacrificing his only son. Jesus took our sins upon himself so we could have forgiveness and fellowship in eternity with a holy and perfect God. It's that kind of love that makes this kind of work in Uganda possible. I am as undeserving of what Jesus did for me as the children in our home are undeserving of being chosen for Kirabo Seeds among all the other orphans in this country who suffer. There are others here who suffer more and we wonder why did God select these children to come to our care? We are giving them the ideal family life. That's the plain truth. There are so many others knocking on our door hoping to get in but we are full. The sign outside reads "no vacancy".
Yet the love flows and we can't help but reach out to the community where our children were found. Who knows what God will show us to do there. I only know the love I feel for these jjajjas is intense and we are willing to serve God in the way that is best for them. I want you to know every child comes from either an aunt or old grandmother who still has several and in some cases up to nine more children in their care that are not their own.
The greatest paradox is that in all the difficulties there's a peace and joy that no view of the ocean could offer. There's a purpose to my life that catapults me out of bed in the morning faster than decorating a home could do. There are places in my self I discovered that I would never have known if I hadn't endured this journey. I am dependent on God completely, humbled and reduced. I have perspective after working here in Uganda that keeps my feet on the ground in America. Working for a cause greater than myself is honestly, a relief. Knowing I spend myself for the work of God to benefit orphaned children satisfies my deepest needs. I count myself blessed to have the opportunity to serve God this way.
Returning to America is bittersweet. There is always a part of me here. When I get home I'm going to be so thankful for electricity when the night time comes. I'll dance in my own hot shower. I'll be so happy to eat strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. I am so hungry for a salad. And oh my goodness it will be fun, yes I said fun, to do laundry using a machine that does all the phases of the wash for me. As I write now my hands hurt from wringing out laundry suds, and again from the softener, and again from the final rinse. Yes I have perspective that is priceless. And as I pour out love over the people in this country the love in me does not empty, it intensifies and improves. That's so God.

Rural Surgery Network Reference Group
There have been focused efforts in BC, AB, and SK to build proof of concept rural-regional networks as envisioned in the Joint Position Paper on Rural Surgery and Operative Delivery and developed in the Banff Workshop. Dr Randy Friesen and Jude Kornelsen have initiated a Rural Surgery Network Reference Group that meets monthly by teleconference. Its goal is to provide communication and collaboration between the various provincial surgical network projects.
Much of the related documentation is stored on its website. For more information, email Jude Kornelsen
Randy and Jude have recently published a paper Building Rural Surgical Networks: An Evidence Based Approach (Healthcare Policy, 12(1) August 2016: 37-42. doi:10.12927/hcpol.2016.24779)
Rural Surgery Network project (BC)
The Rural Coordination Centre BC is proposing a support program for rural surgery based on the recommendations of the Joint Position Paper on Rural Surgery and Operative Delivery 2015 and the Banff Summit 2016. This would fund a new clinical coaching program, remote presence technology providing virtual linkages between rural-regional ORs, and integrating the rural surgical departments into those of the regional centers.

I did several paintings of Vancouver after moving to Barriere, partly because they were the images that would sell in big city galleries.
I did several paintings of Vancouver after moving to Barriere, partly because they were the images that would sell in big city galleries.
The Sails was done not long after the new building was constructed on the waterfront in Vancouver. I liked the contrast of the old and the new.
This painting was done after one of our many visits to the pristine, spring fed waters of Johnson Lake.
This painting was on occasion of my brother, Kelly, buying a new truck. He was enjoying success as a jeweler and goldsmith, evidenced by the expensive ring and watch.
Kelly was my older brother. He was a sailor, carver, gemologist and goldsmith. Unfortunately he suffered an early death from cancer at the age of 44. I did this portrait the same year as a gift to my dad on his 70th birthday.

Free Advice on Portable Wheelchair Ramps
There are two types of portable wheelchair ramp.
(a) Portable wheelchair ramps that are put down as and when needed and immediately picked up and put away after use.
(b) Portable wheelchair ramps that can be set up and left in position for a few hours.
Aerolight: Lightweight Portable Wheelchair Ramps
Super lightweight folding ramps with an incredible weight to strength ratio, that can be put down as and when required.
- Incredible weight to strength ratio
- 760mm wide (30inches)
- Available in lengths 2ft – 8ft (0.6m – 2.4m)
- Quick and easy to set up
- Single fold down lengh of ramp
- Contrasting colour edge strip increases visibility
PermaRamp: Semi Permanent Wheelchair Ramps
A totally new concept, the Permaramp range is designed to be easily adjusted and fixed down or left in place for all types of thresholds.
- Easy wash surface for long life and re-use
- Quick and easy to set up
- Unique gripdeck surface for sustained outside use
- Fixing options at top and bottom for secure location
- Excellent non slip surface
- Robust, strong ramp
- Available with adjustable height legs
Below are a few things to take in to consideration before buying a portable wheelchair ramp.
1. Weight Capacity – Remember that portable wheelchair ramps tend to be for assisted use – Don't make the mistake of just thinking about the weight of the person in the wheelchair, remember to combine the weight of the person in the wheelchair, the wheelchair itself and the person providing the assistance.
2. Length / Gradient – In an ideal world the gradient of a portable wheelchair ramp would be 1:12 but if makes the ramp to long to handle it won't get used – A general rule of thumb is that 1:6 gradient can be used on very low steps like thresholds and 1:8 is OK on steps up to 300mm high provided the assistant is competent and it is safe to use at this gradient, above 300mm you really should consider 1:12 or shallower.
3. Weight of the Ramp – Although there are no legal safe handling weight limits a good rule of thumb is that an average size man should lift no heavier than 26kg and an average size woman 16kg – If you want your ramps to be used rather than just discarded in a storage room try to buy the lightest ramps which still have an adequate Safe Working Load.
4. Sharp Edges and Poorly Designed Hinges & Handles – We've seen some cheap rubbish over the years where as you try to unfold the ramp you pinch your fingers in the hinges, as you try to move the ramp you graze your legs and when you carry the ramp about you rap your knuckles on the handles. – Look for well designed ramps, it's worth paying a little extra to avoid injuries.
5. Which Type of Portable Wheelchair Ramp – That may sound strange but there are actually 2 types of portable wheelchair ramp.
(a) Portable wheelchair ramps that are put down as and when needed and immediately picked up and put away after use.
(b) Portable wheelchair ramps that can be set up and left in position for a few hours.
It is important that you buy the right sort of ramp, the as and when needed ramps tend to be a lot lighter and easier to handle but are not intended to be left set up in position. If you have an event, meeting, service, etc. where a ramp will be left set up for a period of time a semi-permanent ramp is often a better and safer option.
