La Pivellina
Genre: Drama
Outsider, Cannes 2009, circus, Berlinale 2010, Artists, foundling
It is a totally unexpected gift of time, which happens at the fairground family Patrizia (Patrizia Gerardi) and her husband Walter (Walter Saabel). In search of the runaway dog of the two is the woman from the circus on a swing a lonely, just two years old girl in a pink parka (Asia Crippa) – just "la pivellina" – was the obvious and exposed at some point, so is in the enclosed letter to read, will be picked up. Although lead Patrizia and Walter more than a precarious existence and life as a traveling folk constantly poised on the brink of bankruptcy, take the two in a touching manner of delightful little girl and try to give her as long as a home until the whole matter cleared up has. Soon, the little princess with the bright eyes and her childlike curiosity the undisputed focal point in the life of Patrizia, Walter and all the other showmen with whom they live together. Nevertheless, always a dark cloud hovering over the unexpected good fortune, as all know very well that the child will soon be gone. And it's almost irrelevant whether it will be the mother or the police, who are first to be there. has The world of the circus and the fairground it Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel obviously very pleased, some years ago they explored with their documentary Babooska the lives of performers and artists. Now they devote themselves in her feature film again this environment and it is no wonder that the precise knowledge of the lives of artists and documentary trained eye and the film shape, which acts in many moments of almost like a feature film, but as an authentic description livelihoods of the vulnerable, who live in the truest sense of the word on the margins of society. This one feels, for example, clearly, if Walter is afraid of the police, who could guess, his fear that the girl was not missing, but was kidnapped by the artistes. That this prejudice is not complying with the realities that shows itself in the fact that just here in the so-called "precarious" edge of society, the (normal) human emotions of compassion, solidarity and willingness to continue still present and functioning. By the amateur actors, all of which in real life are actually traveling as artists and by the unvarnished and often very sad view of the parlous circumstances you feel at La Pivellina both the Italian neo-realism and Federico Fellini's La strada and to the rough and dismal social studies of the brothers Dardenne recalled. And yet there is no mere imitation of La Pivellina called role models, but in its simplicity and truth touching film, in which first and foremost a little girl charms, whose innocence and naturalness in the end thus leaving almost pay something like hope. It is the undisputed center of this film, which was last year at Cannes in the Directors' Fortnight has already received an enthusiastic and who was also on display at the 2010 Berlinale. Moreover, the fairytale life was moving at numerous festivals awarded several prizes, such as in Gijon, Leeds, Mumbai, Annecy and the diagonal of 2010, where the film won the Grand Prize in the feature film category. La Pivellina is a real little discovery with a big heart. (Joachim Kurz)

It's time to open the windows, take in a breath of fresh air, and bust out those buckets, mops, brooms, and rags because spring is here! We all know that with spring comes spring-cleaning, which some of us dread and some of us anticipate, but those pesky dark corners of our homes that get neglected every winter aren't going anywhere. To help you out, we've compiled a list of spring-cleaning tips that will ensure your home is left spotless!
It always feels good to declutter and deep clean after the painfully long winter and an easy place to start is your closet! Whether you've kept your weight loss resolutions and you can't wear a lot of your clothes anymore, or you've changed up your look, we all have clothes that we bought and hate or just don't wear anymore. When cleaning out your closet try to be as objective as possible. Don't say "what if" or "but"… if you haven't worn it in the past sixth months, put it in the donate bin! If you're honest with yourself, when you're done there will be a huge difference! The great thing is, after you're done you'll have an excuse to go shopping and get a new spring outfit to celebrate!
Another great way to get a jump start on your spring cleaning is to tackle those baseboards that have collected a startling amount of dust and grime over the cold months! We all hate grabbing that bucket of soapy water and a rag only to get down on our knees for the thankless task of scrubbing the baseboards, but you'll notice a huge difference when you're done! Even your floors will look cleaner after scrubbing your baseboards until they're squeaky clean. If crouching down on your knees for what seems like forever is just too much, check out Pinterest for all kinds of creative ideas on how to avoid squatting!
Next on our list is ceiling fans… out of sight out of mind, right? We always seem to forget these guys until one day, after we've opened up those windows and it's a little warm, we turn them on full blast only to receive in return a prompt rain of dust on the entire room. Don't let this happen to you! Just grab a small step stool and a warm damp rag and wipe off the tops of the blades. Depending on how long you've neglected them, you might have to go over them a few times, but it's worth it knowing that you're keeping dust out of the air and off of your clean floors!
One of the more creative ideas that we've come up with is to, while your scrubbing those baseboards and ceiling fans, take your AC vent covers, place them in the dishwasher without soap, and hit "start" to get them squeaky clean*. You don't even need soap, the hot water will be enough to wash away the grime from the winter! Then, by the time you're done with your other projects, all you'll have to do is take them out of the dishwasher and put them back in place!
Lastly, don't make spring cleaning harder than it needs to be! To cut grease and grime in those extra tough places, use a lemon wedge! After you go over the area with the lemon, wipe with a damp rag to clean up any extra. We love this for areas like stovetops and microwaves. It's especially nice to know that you are using something totally natural and free of harsh chemicals to clean the areas where you prepare food for your family!
As you start to dive into your cleaning don't forget those tough spots, be objective, and keep in mind that it is SO worth it when you're done! There's no better way to kick off spring than with a clean and refreshed space for you to spend time with your family. The Bella girls would love to hear what your favorite spring cleaning tip is, so share with us on Facebook!
*Only do this if your AC vents are metal.

Modern robotics can be highly indebted to the work of the Muslim scholar Abū al-'Iz Ibn Ismā'īl ibn al-Razāz al-Jazarī (1136-1206), also known as Al-Djazari.
Why Al-Aqsa Mosque is so important to Muslims? All Muslims must know these reasons
10 everyday inventions that you used today but never knew were invented by Muslims
The scientific discoveries of Al-Djazari have allowed great advances in industrial, domestic, medial or military robotics .
Al-Djazari is the first inventor of the mechanical robot and one of the greatest engineers and inventors in history.
This scholar possesses several strings to his name:
– Inventor
– Mechanical engineer
– Artisan
– Artist
– Mathematician
– Astronomer
From Akon, Shaq to Zayn Malik – 12 famous Hollywood Muslims that we all should know
He is the one to have designed several machines still unknown at this time around the world.
– In 1206, the scholar emphasized his fame in Mesopotamia thanks to his book "Book of Knowledge of Mechanical Processes" (Kitab fi ma'rifat al-hiyal al-handasiyya).
– These inventions appeared to be very trivial in the thirteenth century but today they have become crucial for the technological advance.
Among these achievements may include:
- The crank;
- The automatic double-acting suction pump. Which will give after the steam engine to our era;
- hydraulic pumps, automatic hydraulic machine (pumping system number 3);
- automatic machines;
- the world's first computer, an analog computer;
- hydraulics connected to watchmaking, the elephant clock that was duplicated just in Dubai.
Al-Djazari had a very contemporary spirit since he had already reflected on the design of a robot "the tea waitress", a humanoid automaton intended to serve water, tea or any other drink.
Al-Djazari is one of the inventors of the Middle Ages who laid the foundations of our modern world.
At the same time that Islam extended into the world, it is one of the Muslim scholars who have accumulated a body of knowledge such as Humanity has never known .

Another brick in the wall
That's all the EU treaty is, in that it simply binds together previous treaties and makes more of them operative, plus creating the platform for the next layer of EU power grabs. Or so it seems to me.
It's a sad business trying to dissect the legalities because it's not what a concerned person, a subject of his own nation, ought to have to do. Legal personality. An overall EU foreign minister. Demotion of competition law. Promotion of social protection. These are all just soundbytes really, and it makes about as much sense summing them up neatly as it does to take a few swipes at a roomful of cobwebs.
The fundamental point is this: I and most other Britons of age to vote today have never had a chance to vote specifically on anything to do with the EU, let alone membership of its various incarnations. I did actually vote for James Goldsmith in the elections of 1997 (my first vote), but with a heavy heart- single issues are not what national elections are for.
Yet the EU is not a single issue, it's a multitude of issues rolled into one, and it has created a democratic deficit which no politicians seem to want to address, rather than manage.
Britain is essentially suffering from Europe's weakness. If Europe were strong then each nation would negotiate in a complex diplomatic nexus areas of agreement that could be flexible and joined or not depending on circumstances. Europe would be a dynamic place not fixated on 0.2% of economic growth here, -.3% there.
British people, when they think about politics, think about our politics. The EU is essentially irrelevant to their thinking but paradoxically determinative when it comes to their options. The people in Louisiana seem to be far more rationally focussed on politics than the British people (this story actually holds a lot of hope for peoples slumped for many years in paralysing political doldrums).
Yet that lack of focus is fundamentally not the British people's fault, but the myopia and supine laziness of their leaders- and their leaders' ignorance, as was interestingly pointed out by EU Ref.
If you think about the only issue of hot political debate in the UK over the last ten years, the only thing which turned situations in constituencies upside down, that would be the Iraq war. Key point: that was a British decision to support the US. It was a sovereign choice, right or wrong. One reason I think that such an issue was so hot was, I think, because the lazy Europhile underbelly of public opinion was suddenly shaken (wobbled?) by the notion of a British policy independent of the EU. Quel horror!
Well, Britain, not Europe as such, was attacked in the '05 bombings. Britain still exists, and the legal fraud of the EU will one day soon be brought to answer because of sheer hypocrisy. The EU's trading standards were clearly not being kept when the country was sold the project, and sold to the project, in one referendum before the lifetimes of me and many of my fellow voters.

Well, the pool is definitely coming along... good thing because we are throwing Roen a big birthday bash this weekend!!
At the end of last week, they lined the pool and started filling it up. From start to finish, it took 31 hours to fill the pool up... four water hoses going non-stop. It just so happened that they started filling it up on the boy's last day of school and though it was far too chilly to swim, I gave in and let them get their feet in, then wade around and before I knew it, they were swimming in their clothes! It was the perfect after school treat!
As of now, half the landscaping has been completed, the deck is due to be sealed today and really there are only a few loose ends to finish up!! This has been a major project and our backyard has been a messy, muddy construction zone since February... to say we are excited and ready for this to be done would be a major understatement!!

Disabled students are calling on UK universities to do more to help them take part fully in campus life.
A study by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign's Trailblazers suggests many students are unable to access areas such as lecture theatres and libraries.
It says many institutions are failing to signpost key information such as details of accessible accommodation.
The Equality Challenge Unit said many universities were working hard to be as accessible and welcoming as possible.
The Disability Discrimination Act 2005 means it is illegal for education providers to treat disabled students less favorably because of their disability.
A Trailblazers' survey of 100 UK universities found only half of those questioned confirmed that all teaching rooms, study rooms and libraries were fully accessible for students with mobility difficulties.
The research found half of universities questioned said that not all inter-campus transport was accessible.
Only a quarter of the universities surveyed had considered disabled students when planning freshers' week information and only a third had a society representing disabled students in the student union.
Tanvi Vyas, manager of Trailblazers, said: "We continue to hear about how many universities are still missing the mark when it comes to helping people planning on entering higher education – and helping them to complete their time there.
"There are plenty of simple measures that universities can take. Providing inclusive freshers' guides, handy information on accessible transport and buildings and support networks can all make a huge difference to students adapting to campus life.
"We also need the government and local authorities to examine the issue of relocating care packages, which continues to be an enormous struggle for many students studying away from home."

Unconditional Valuing
Our challenge is to enable ourselves and others to enter a culture of life, a process that increasingly brings meaning to the human condition, instills hope, and establishes a process toward companionship. Unconditional valuing is the central dimension in this. Our essential role is to express to each person his or her dignity and worth by entering into a relationship based on dialogue. These interactions symbolize solidarity and prize the person through genuine and authentic expressions during good moments and difficult ones. They uplift and honor the person, not for what the individual does, but for who the individual is. We not only care for human needs, but we also care about the person because we see our own human condition in their alienation and in their longing for justice and companionship. As we try to fulfill this longing, we are creating a culture of life through our actions, interactions, and expressed beliefs. And in this, we help usher in feelings of relatedness, solidarity, and being with others.

Using an Organizing Partner
"I just want to avoid doing it!" "It's easier just to close the door and hide the mess"
Sound familiar? That's me, talking about my shed. Yes, I have my own dark secrets too.
It's one thing when I walk into a client's home: I immediately see things objectively and work together with the client to accomplish their goal, but...
I have a really hard time to do the same thing for myself... and by myself!
I've discovered that I need to have someone else help me to finish my organizing projects that I've put off (and I've found out the hard way that it can't be my husband helping me! His definition of organizing is "bring in the dumpster and just dump it all!").
I've been putting off cleaning out my shed for over 2 years and finally I asked my friend's teenage boys to give me a hand to do it. It worked out great because they didn't shriek and go running off (like I did) when we found a dead mouse in one of the boxes, and then a live mouse that jumped out of another box right after that! They thought it was so cool.
So, it's OK to ask for help, in fact, you might find it's more productive and motivating to have someone work with you on your One Organizing Goal.
ASSIGNMENT: Ask someone to be your Organizing Partner
Then, get started on your One Organizing Goal for the month!
For tips on how to choose an Organizing Partner and how to make it work, sign up for our free newsletter.
If you'd like to try out my personal Coaching Service to help you get jump-started on your One Organizing Goal, I'll work with you one-on-one by phone (or in-person if you're local) to help you get going!

THE TIGERS OF THE NORTH : Denis Côté on CURLING (for De Filmkrant magazine)
"These people are not freaks, these people are not 'marginals.' I like to make films about characters who have a foot outside the world, but the world is always there."
It's October 2010 and French-Canadian writer-director Denis Côté is in a room at Vienna's Hilton hotel, talking about the father and daughter who are the focus of his latest film Curling. And talking about them – in his gentle, accented English – with the care and concern one might extend to one's own relatives.
"These people are not freaks – I don't like that word. They're not 'Herzogian', you know! They're just … there. They pay taxes. I don't even want to say that what you see in the film is typically Canadian – and I don't know in what sense this film is autobiographical.
"I come from a family where we don't share secrets, and we're never intimate with each other, so there's probably something unconscious going on in that script. It scares me to think I'm a little like that… Maybe, but I'd probably need a psychologist here," he laughs.
In the words of prominent Toronto-based critic – and former IFFR-juror – Adam Nayman, the 37-year-old Montrealer "has long since staked out his territory as Canada's most adventurous auteur. With Curling, he seeks to refine the terrain.
"A film about damaged individuals in a bleak landscape, it nevertheless has a sense of humour: a scene where an overprotective father and his sheltered daughter (Emmanuel and Philomène Bilodeau) listen to Tiffany chirp her way through 'I Think We're Alone Now' both establishes and makes fun of Côté's preoccupation with isolation."
His film may be deliberately low-key ("there's not much happening," he concedes) but Côté himself is pretty hard to miss. Well over six feet tall, he's a burly, black-clad bloke with wispy blond hair, black-framed spectacles, impressive armfuls of tattoos and an array of silvery rings.
A genially amiable 'gentle giant', Côté has been a radio-presenter and film-critic in his time, making a gradual transition to film-making via 15 shorts (Seconde Valse and Kosovolove were presented at IFFR 2002). His features kicked off with Les états nordiques (2005), followed by Nos vies privées (2007), Elle veut le chaos (2008), Carcasses (2009), the latter an experimental docu-fiction hybrid shot guerilla-style in a forest with a couple of handicapped non-professionals.
"A very weird experience – we ended up in Cannes!," Côté recalls with amazement. "It was made for $5,000 – an arts-centre gave me a camera, and we tried something. I like to say that I prefer 'trying' than 'succeeding' in a very boring way… "And people in Quebec were like, 'Why is this film in Cannes?' And they still talk about it! They're not sure what this… object is. So for me, it's like the more 'hardcore' you are, the more 'Cannes' you get!"
Les états nordiques won a Golden Leopard award (for best video-shot feature, shared with The Masseur) at Switzerland's long-running Locarno Film Festival, and five years later, in August last year, Côté returned to pick up Best Director there (Bilodeau won Best Actor.) Soon after, in Austria, the capital's own prestigious cine-jamboree – the Viennale – announced that would be "the first festival to dedicate a special program to Denis Côté's work." Hence his presence chatting to De Filmkrant in the Hilton…
Back home, however, Côté is seen very much as, to use his own self-deprecating words, "the festival guy… I'm a product of festivals. I hate to say it, but it's true – we just don't sell the films to other territories.
"When it comes out in Montreal, it gets good reviews… but in cinemas it's a only two week thing, maybe three weeks. When I do interviews at home, they ask 'So, you go to every festival, you win everywhere?' "No – but I will go to maybe 35 festivals with each film, and my whole career for five years is meeting the audience at festivals. I know a lot of film-makers who really don't want to do Q&As.
"But I like to give people answers – it's a human experience to… present your film. A lot of people staying for Q&As are people who didn't like the film. As a cinephile, if I go see a film and it's very good, I don't need to hear the director. So, people staying can be confrontational and I know that, and I need to be there.
"I have these 'enigmatic' things in all my films," Côté admits, "and it can become very difficult during Q&As because people really want answers. I have answers – it's stupid to just put weird stuff in, and not have answers. But people ask so many questions now – I don't know if it was like that ten or twenty years ago…"
I assure him that Curling (the title a reference to the convivial sport with which the main character semi-reluctantly becomes involved) may provoke lively interest in Rotterdam because it features the festival's totemic symbol – a tiger – slap-bang in the middle of its poster.
The beast pops up briefly in a crucial, dreamily 'enigmatic' scene involving the 12-year-old female protagonist – an unschooled, barely-socialised innocent: "it's just a ten, twenty second thing – she sees a tiger, and for me it's the only time in the film when her imagination is working on something."
Côté's cat has, however, proved controversial elsewhere: "You know I heard 'Oh, the tiger – he 'took' it from Apichatpong's Tropical Malady…' And there's some bowling, so of course it's The Big Lebowski! The critic in Variety wrote, 'he's trying to do Fargo and Big Lebowski… but Côté's no Coen.' Some people say, 'oh, it's very Fargo' … I'm sorry, it's just because there's snow. Come on!"

"This too shall pass…." My mom often uses this line, and the first time I talked to my brother and sister-in-law (parents of a 2 ½-year-old) after Tessa was born and asked what advice they might have for us newbies, this was what my sister-in-law said. And at just 3 months into my parenting journey, I've already seen how true this is, and I'm finding it helpful for keeping things in perspective.
Tessa started out life as a terrible napper. Most days I could not get her to nap for more than 20-40 minutes at a time, and then, of course, by 3pm she would be completely exhausted and CRANKY! On those days, I often felt like a bad mother, and that it was my fault that she was so tired and grumpy (not true, I know, but I couldn't help but feel that way). This is slowly working itself out and over the past 3 weeks, she's (most days) been going down for her naps without a fight and I can usually count on 1 long and 2 shorter naps each day. And I didn't do anything but wait it out.
So, now that I'm in the middle of another rough patch (having a cold and a baby is a lovely combination!), I'm reminding myself that, like our naptime struggles, it won't last forever. Yes, I'm exhausted. Yes, I feel like I got hit by a bus. And no, I'm not particularly "enjoying every moment" right now. And even if I can't get a nap in today, I know we'll be ok, that this temporary exhaustion and frustration is part of the parenting package, and it, too, will pass. And at the end of the day, this beautiful little girl...
...makes it all worthwhile.
Now, if you'll excuse me, we're going to go try and sleep!

New York Times reporter Lucas Peterson recently hit Bulgarian soil for the first time. The good news is: He was impressed. After some issues, which arose when he tried to drive his stick-shift rental car, he fell in love with this country.
He loved Shopska Salata and mussels, telling us how cheap they were. After a trip to Haskovo, he came to Burgas, which quickly transmuted from a "small city" to "big". That was when he noticed he needed a bike to explore the Black Sea marvel.
His enthusiasm increased to its maximum level, when he hit Burgas Beach, right next to the port. It wasn't so much the sand or the water, but rather all those bikini tops, lying around in the sand of this "topless beach", which seem to have made his day.
Yes, he loved it down here. His New York Times article says it all.

November 1st
Other than that, last night David was "seeing wierd" which means onset of a migraine. So he went to bed at 4:30pm. I wandered around, keeping an eye on the last 5 smokes in my pack, and finally gave in to boredom and went to bed at 8:00.
We were just informed that sometimes people never receive their baggage and it happens all the time. I never realized how much I loved my suitcase. It was a thing of beauty.
OK, I am signing off for now. Hopefully I will have a better report next time. You You I am trying to stay positive, but it is not looking good.

So ask your guide to get you some local weed I mean smokes and see what he comes up with. When in Rome and all that. I hope David's headache is better so you can both enjoy the safari tomorrow!@!
Be one with nature and have fun.

Julie, I am so sorry that your luggage still has not arrived. Will go to the office just now and try and find out how I can help. There was another flight this morning SA 1613 arr RCB at 10h05. Hopefully it is on this flight. If however the idiots sent it to DBX (obviously someone could not read or does not know airport codes) it could take time. The next flight from JNB to RCB is only tomorrow SA 1609 arr at 11h55. You will need to get to RCB airport somehow (don't know whether they offer free shuttle services) and complete a form to claim money from SAA to buy yourselves some clothes. If they can not get your luggage to you within 24hrs they need to pay you a certain amount to buy a set of clothes and toiletries!! With your german surname you can threaten them: Ve german hve vays an means to make ur heads roll!!! :-) Don't let on to the other gerries in camp though that your surname is german - they will think u can talk de lingo and rattle off in some or other german dialect which even I wont understand.
Keep ur head up and enjoy whatever you can - but don't ask the guide for "Dagga" (pronounced dacha) and is our local weed. It is illegal and u dont wanna end up in an SA jail! Rather bum some cigarettes!
I will see what I can do about tracing the luggage but in won't be easy sitting down here in the south and on a Saturday. But I will try.

We love sweet since we can even walk. We then grow up chasing many sweet girls. Why we call a girl sweet? Sweet girl melt our heart just like those sugars growing with us.
... and yes, sugar babies... in ZhongSan.
Please don't fool by my pictures taken in gorgeous, I can assure you that the taste of below desert did not loose any compare to their fine photographed. A heaven desert stall at the Walker's Street in ZhongSan, brought to me by my friends there.
Picture taken a bowl of steam egg tofu, topped with lotus seed. Tofu was soft enough to melt in the mouth and those huge lotus seed contributed fine taste of pureness.
Black sesame with small rice ball "TangYuen". Its really black and warm. Not too sweet, and with very nice aroma. Texture wise, chewy because of the rice ball.

News & Press Releases
The following article was published in a local spiritual publication and has been reprinted here with permission.
Lady SpringWolf Receives Her Doctorate
By Nilla Foster
Ladysmith, Va - September 1, 2008
International author and teacher Rev. Vickie Carey (Lady SpringWolf) of Ladysmith Virginia, has been awarded a Doctorate of Divinity in Metaphysical Sciences from the University of Sedona. The degree was conferred on August 26th, 2008 and is the culmination of a long standing dream. "I have always wanted to enroll in a formal degree program and work toward a Doctorate of Divinity" said Rev. Carey. "That dream only grew stronger 20 years ago when I began ministerial classes at the Community Chapel of Wholistic Healing in Reston. The Chapel's founder Rev. Michelle Lusson and many of it's teachers all held Doctorates. And one teacher in particular Rev. Gloria Cousar, who received her degree from the University of Metaphysics, was especially encouraging to me personally."
Over her 20 plus years of spiritual training and service, Rev. Carey has received many honors from spiritual organizations. She has received a great many accolades from clients, students and her peers. She freely offers her knowledge and years of wisdom at Pagan's Path an online education website. "I'm very honored and humbled that others find my ramblings helpful and enlightening." she notes, "But the degree has been a personal goal for sometime and I'm very excited about finally achieving that dream. This was something I did for me."
Rev. Carey was licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia as a minister in 2002. She plans on renewing that license this year under her new affiliation with the International Metaphysical Ministry (I.M.M), the governing body of the University of Sedona. In 1959, the I.M.M. joined Unity and Religious Science as one of the major metaphysically oriented movements around the world. That same year Dr. Paul Masters, founder of I.M.M. opened the Institute of Parapsychology which has evolved into the University of Metaphysics and the University of Sedona.
Her articles have been published in various spiritual magazines around the world. Most recently the New Statesman magazine published her article "
From Childhood to Adulthood - A Pagan Tradition
" on April 28, 2008. She is currently working on a 3 book series entitled "
Pagan Metaphysics"
which she hopes to publish sometime in 2009 or 2010.
Through her new spiritual center, Spring's Haven in Ladysmith Virginia, Rev. Carey plans on putting her new degree to good use. Offering spiritual gatherings, ministerial services, pastoral counseling, and extensive metaphysical and holistic educational classes and seminars.

Issue Alert - 03-10-06
Document Actions
Oct 01, 2003
|Issue Summary:
FIA has raised the yearly energy caps for State Emergency Relief. However, they will no longer grant exceptions to the yearly cap.
|Persons Affected:
Persons applying for SER for heating and electric services
State Emergency Relief (SER) SER 301, 402
What's Happening?
According to Program Policy Bulletin 2003-011, FIA has eliminated the local offices ability to do fiscal year cap exceptions for energy services. To compensate, FIA has increased the yearly energy caps. The new cap amounts are:Energy type (Old / New) Natural gas and wood ($350 / $450)Deliverable fuels (except wood) ($650 / $750)Residential electric (not used for heat) ($350 / $450)All-electric home ($700 / $900)There continues to be no ability to waive or reduce income co-payments at this time.
What Should Advocates Do?
Advocates should be aware of the new policy and communicate it to clients. The Michigan Community Action Agency (CAA) has been awarded $4 million dollars to help people with energy needs. Advocates should also refer clients to CAA for additional help. Advocates should also be aware of the charitable organizations in their area that can help families with energy resources, and refer their clients to those organization for help with electric and heat shut offs. Advocates should still advise clients to apply for State Emergency Relief (SER) for help with energy shut-offs, and for other purposes that SER funds, like rent arrearages and other utility shut-offs.
What Should Clients Do?
Clients should use weatherization and conservation strategies to reduce their bills. Clients may still apply for State Emergency Relief (SER) through the Family Independence Agency (FIA) for energy shut-offs and for other emergency needs that the program can help with, like rent arrearages and other utility shut-offs. Also, clients should seek help with heat and electric shut-offs from CAA and other local charitable organizations or churches. If a client thinks she or he has been incorrectly denied SER, seek legal advice.
Finding Help
|Most legal aid and legal services office handle these type of cases, and they do not charge a fee. You can locate the "free" legal services or legal aid office that serves your county on the Michigan LawHelp website (www.MI.LawHelp.org) or look in the yellow pages under "attorneys" or call the toll-free lawyer referral number, (800) 968-0738.

text: I was just looking for a calculator that acts like a TI-83. I would like a calculator where you can type in exactly what you would write down when you work out the math by hand. I also like to be able to look back at the exact expression i typed in to easily see if i made a mistake. For example: *6.8+log(.08/.02)* (shown on a screen) I used a TI 83 all through high school and loved it. Yet now that I am in college, i have no idea where that calculator went. I have used calculator.app but it just isnt quite there. Any suggestions on applications would be a great help. thanks

I feel a strange feeling of love for these streets and their quirky decorative style. I just love the architecture and those tiled street names are heavenly.

I love these pictures. Is this where you live? So different from a snowy Sweden. Wish I'd walk these streets today. I have a habit of dreaming of life somewhere else, especially when I'm fed up with this never-ending snow.
I found your patchwork today, you'll find me there too.

jamais vu
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Borrowed from French jamais ("never") + vu ("seen").
jamais vu (uncountable)
- A sense of unfamiliarity with, or of never having experienced or seen before, something that should be familiar.
- 1961, Joseph Heller, Catch-22
- The subtle, recurring confusion between illusion and reality that was characteristic of paramnesia fascinated the chaplain, and he knew a number of things about it. He knew, for example, that it was called paramnesia, and he was interested as well in such corollary optical phenomena as jamais vu, never seen, and presque vu, almost seen.
- 1961, Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Tropical Grilled Chicken
Grill the chicken at the tailgate party. Or you can cook it the day before and refrigerate it to make great sandwiches with rolls or crusty French bead and a bit of Dijon mustard and mayo.
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed orange juice
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons fruity Caribbean-style hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4 to 5 pounds)
In a nonreactive small bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, hot sauce, mustard, basil, thyme, marjoram and oil. Mix thoroughly, then stir in parsley.
Place chicken in large zip-seal plastic bag. Add orange juice mixture, remove air, seal and toss to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour, turning bag occasionally.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Grill chicken 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending upon thickness of chicken breasts, until chicken is cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Per serving: 314 calories, 28 percent calories from fat, 10 grams total fat, 2 grams saturated fat, 145 milligrams cholesterol, .43 gram carbohydrates, .07 gram total fiber, .29 gram total sugars, .36 gram net carbs, 53 grams protein, 138 milligrams sodium.

Making Tax Digital - June 18 update
Making Tax Digital will make it a legal requirement for businesses to keep their records digitally and it is the start of HMRC being fully digitalised. Currently the planning is split into three areas
- VAT starting April 19 for ALL businesses over £85k turnover
- Income tax – will not start before April 2020
- Corporation Tax – will start after Income Tax
From April 19 the option to logon to HMRC online and type in the numbers to complete your tax return will be removed; instead numbers will need to be submitted directly from compatible software.
For businesses using established software – Xero, QuickBooks Sage etc there will be no change as these are already able to submit direct from the software to HMRC.
The main changes will be for businesses keeping records either manually or on spreadsheet where changes will definitely need to be made.
Income Tax
It is expected that sole traders, partnerships and those with rental income will need to start sending quarterly accounts electronically to HMRC.
It has been announced that this will not come into force before April 2020.
Eventually it will be compulsory for businesses and landlords with income over £10,000 but to start it is likely to be compulsory for those with income over the VAT threshold (currently £85,000), but this hasn't yet been confirmed.
Within a month of quarter end, tax payers will need to submit Profit and Loss numbers to HMRC.
After the 4 quarters have been submitted, then there is a 5th submission to bring in any annual and tax adjustments so that the 5 added together will be the equivalent of your yearend accounts and tax return.
Corporation Tax
Limited companies will not be effected until after the Income Tax phase has been rolled out and is working smoothly so I think there is a few years to go yet, but the principal will be the same as Income tax.
Is there help at hand?
Yes, talk to us, we will be able to help.
Is it all bad news?
Undoubtedly, this will feel like more red tape for businesses, another thing to do that isn't just running your business but:-

The term "escagraph" is used describe the many forms, past and present, of writing on food and letters as food. The term is a concatenation of esca (from Latin meaning "victuals" or "things to be eaten") and graph (after the Greek meaning: "mark" or the infinitive verb "to write").
Research has identified examples of escagraphs as far back as Ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire, primarily bread with words stamped into them prior to baking. Use of escagraphs waned a bit during periods of early Christianity to the 19th century, though some interesting examples exist in bread assizes and sotelties.
Today, of course, examples of escagraphs are legion, organized roughly into three basic categories:
Most forms of escagraphs today are sweet, either molded into or drawn onto the surface of the food. Cakes with "Happy Birthday" are extremely common. Heart-shaped candies with mottoes on them have been produced since about 1901 and are often shared at Valentine's Day. Many chocolate bars bear the name of their maker imprinted on their surface.
Only a few lawful examples remain, since the bread assizes of the 15th century. However, the United States Department of Agriculture does mark certain meat products with certifications and grades in an edible ink.
Moveable Type
From alphabet cookies to cereal to pasta, letters and moveable type are very common even today. Throughout the western world, cookies shaped as letters are made both as edible toys and ostensibly to help children learn their letters. Many manufacturers provide alphabet pasta letters (and numbers) in both ready-to-eat and dry forms.

I have set unique submissions to "No check". But I am still getting a multiple submission error, and only allowed one submission for my forms. How can I fix the problem? See attached screenshot.
- JotForm Supportashwin_dAnswered on June 21, 2017 at 04:32 AM
Hello youneedweb,
As per the screenshot you have shared, you have not configured "Unique Submission" but you have selected email field as "Unique Question". Please check the screenshot below:
Please note that if you set any field as "Unique Question", users will not be able to send multiple submission using the same data.
Example: If you set email field to be unique question and one user input firstname.lastname@example.com in email field and submit form, no other user will be able to submit form using same email address. You may like to take a look at the following guide which should help you: https://www.jotform.com/help/223-How-to-set-Form-Limits-Based-on-a-Unique-Question
Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
- Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
- Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
- The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
- We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Izmir, Turkey, 21 February 2018 - Innovile, the specialist provider of optimised network management solutions, has signed a seven-year contract with a leading Russian operator to help it effectively manage its network performance. The operator will use Innovile's self-organising network (SON) solution to standardise and optimise a multi-technology, multi-vendor mobile network spanning the whole of Russia, from Europe to the Pacific Ocean – including seven branches across 11 different time zones. The implementation is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2018 and includes 13 SON modules (see editor notes).
Innovile has also recently signed contracts with leading tier one operators in both Turkey and Ukraine demonstrating the innovation that the company is driving in the SON market.
The Russian operator's network currently consists of 800,000 2G, 3G and 4G cells and is projected to grow to one million cells in the next five years. As the operator has expanded through the acquisition of several smaller operators, its network is a complex combination of diverse technologies from multiple vendors, including more than 20 different operations support systems (OSS). Implementing Innovile's centralised SON solution will allow the operator to standardise and streamline the network structure across its network and apply consistent rules to meet the strict KPIs for its 77 million subscribers.
The Innovile solution has allowed the operator to tailor the optimisation modules according to their specifications. They have been able to directly apply their expertise in network optimization to the network, in a way that was not previously possible due to conflicting demands on the RF engineers' time.
Ahmet Ozturk, Co-founder, Innovile says: "We're excited to help our customer transform its network and service in what is one of the largest SON projects ever. As operators' networks become increasingly more challenging and costly to manage, self-organising networks can significantly boost network performance and quality of service, which ultimately results in a better experience for the customer."
Tier one operators, including Vodafone, Turkcell, Turk Telekom, ALBtelecom in Albania, Lifecell in Ukraine, Bite Group in Lithuania and NOS in Portugal, use Innovile network management solutions.
Editor notes:
The 13 SON modules include:
● Automatic Neighbour Relation
● PSC Optimisation
● PCI Optimisation
● RACH Optimisation
● Mobility Robust Optimisation
● Automatic Parameters Organisation
● Consistency Audit and Correction
● Self Healing
● Minimisation of Drive Test
● User Centric Optimisation
● Mobility Load Balancing
● Coverage and Capacity Optimisation
● Energy Saving
About Innovile
Innovile is an innovator of optimised network management solutions. Leading mobile network operators, including Vodafone, Turkcell and Turk Telekom, rely on Innovile's over 20 years of telecom and software expertise to transform network quality and customer experience. Innovile's flexible and powerful solutions for self-organising networks, performance management and configuration management give operators the real-time network intelligence they need to maximise the capacity of their next-generation networks, boost efficiency and realise significant cost savings. The company is headquartered in Izmir, Turkey and has offices in Istanbul and Lisbon.

Question 1: 5 Marks
What main tasks are performed to initiate a project, explain them?
Question no 2:
The main purpose of project planning is to guide execution and every knowledge area including planning process. List at least 10 tasks performed during the planning process.
Question no 3: 5 Marks
Consider the given case study:
XYZ is a store for supplying house construction material and dealing with both wholesale and retail business. It has several branches. The current managing director (MD) of the store wants to expand business activities using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). He presented his idea to the other Directors of the business at one of the recent Board Meetings of the Directors and they agreed to allocate some money to initiate the project. However, some Directors felt that this could be a waste of money, while some thinks that there is a significant benefit to the business. He appointed a small team to start the project.
An assistant accountant of this store was appointed as the leader of the team and he was given two other members from new recruits. In addition, MD will also help the team in evaluating and finalizing decisions.
The project team was instructed to use ICT in three directions:
- Give publicity to the business operations
- Streamline internal management of all branches in order to share all resources
- Provide supply chain management through an e-business model.
Name the five possible stakeholders of this project?

Well, those of you facing the first of the month bills.... I understand. Keep up the good work. Of coarse today in my reading was Proverbs 31. The Jesus of women. I just can't compete with that lady... I have no fields to buy with all my extra earnings today. I have a few hospitals to call to ask if a payment plan of.... $10 a month sounds good..hee...hee.
That's all, I need to sulk for a minute. Anybody need a faithful van to buy? I have one. Ella named her star. She's looking for a good home.

I feel for you. We are now 7 people living on 1,700/month in Southern Ca. I beat myself up every month because I think I should be able to pay everything and figure out a way to make this work. Like I have that kind of power :) Other times I dont want to pay anything because it is depressing to look and see that there isnt enough. God is good and ever faithful. I believe that, but I don't ever want to take it for granted either.
Does it help to remind yourself of the sacrifices that you're making in caring for your children? Sometimes I remind myself that I could go make lots of money and pay someone else to do what I am doing here. It helps my heart a little, but Id much rather have both :)
BTW-I tink that you're funny :)

text: The first time I saw this polish I fell in love, so went on a mission to try and find a store that stocked it! Unfortunately this seemed like mission impossible, after finding it only really being stocked in the USA (and costing a fortune for shipping & handling) I decided to give up on the idea. But after recently posting about other Deborah Lippman nail varnishes, I was on the hunt again. I finally came across the exact one on eBay so couldn't resist purchasing, (although it was about £12, which to me is expensive for a nail polish) It's totally worth it! I have not come across any other glitter polish as stunning as this before. I have used a light blue base colour first, as I found without this it comes out very light and pearly (which is fine if this is what you like/want but I prefer a bit of depth and vibrancy to my nails). What do you think?x
