David Bellamy to speak at wind farm meeting
Opponents of a controversial wind farm scheme are welcoming the support of top conservationist David Bellamy.
Dr Bellamy will be a special guest at a meeting on Monday to discuss the effects of the planned wind farm on the local environment and tourism in the area.
Organisers have leafleted the local villages, including Lissett, where the airfield which would house the 12-turbine site is located, and they hope for a bumper turn-out at the meeting, to be held at Far Grange Caravan Park, Skipsea.
Objectors claim the meeting will discuss the truth about wind farms, with Dr Bellamy contributing on the environmental and social aspects of the scheme.
Mike McCann, managing director of Far Grange Park and vice-chairman of the British Holiday and Home Parks Association, said of Dr Bellamy's appearance: "He is our patron and our association is against all land-based wind turbines because of the detrimental effect they have on tourism. Most of our parks are in remote areas or coastal areas where these things are sited."
The meeting will also hear from Bob Graham, chairman of the Highlands Against Wind Farms group.
He will present a DVD on the effects of wind farms on the American landscape.
Graham Moore, from Stop Turbines in East Riding (STiER) which is opposing the scheme, said: "We want as many people there as possible, to get a different view across."
The meeting will be held in the leisure centre at Far Grange from 7pm.
David Taylor, from Novera, the company which hopes to erect the turbines, said: "Dr Bellamy and Bob Graham will turn up to support anti-wind farm operations on sites they think are going to get planning.
"By turning up they have given us the great honour by saying we are on their hit list. People aren't stupid. There are some people opposing this for their own ends, and being very selfish, and there are some who genuinely don't like wind farms."

Design an App Mockup for Webinar Text/Slide Reader
- Tila: Closed
- Palkinto: $150
- Vastaanotetut työt: 3

Kilpailun tehtävänanto
I need someone to design a 1 page app user interface for me. The app is a "reader" for viewing webinars that have been transcribed into text.
What's special about this reader is that it syncs the transcribed words with the slides that appeared when the words were originally spoken. What normally happens is that you have the slides without the transcript, or you've got the transcript without the slides. With this reader you have both, which is as good as viewing the original webinar.
So the way the reader will work is that the screen is split, with part of it showing the slides and part of it showing the transcription text. The core functionality is that as you scroll down the text, the slides scroll too so that they stay synced to the words. The same thing happens if you scroll the slides. They're "locked."
That "synced scrolling" is the core functionality of the app, but in addition to that, I'd like some other features.
First, I'd like the ability to adjust how the screen is split between the words and the slides...half and half, 1/3 and 2/3, etc. I'd like the user to be able to adjust it on the fly with a simple motion. This can happen all the way, so that you're only looking at slides or only looking at words. So the view needs to be very dynamic, with the UI to somehow allow for it.
The other small thing I'd like is if the user wants to change the size of the text, he should be able to do that.
In the end, I'd like to use responsive design so that the reader app can dynamically fit onto any sized screen, like an ipad or a mobile phone...so that's also why it's important that the user can adjust the text/slide split dynamically to fit any size screen. So I'd like to see some UI mockups that show what it would look like on an ipad and a mobile phone, in addition to a laptop.

Junrey Balawing Declared (New) World's Shortest Man
SINDANGAN, Philippines — A Guinness World Records representative has declared Junrey Balawing, the son of a poor Filipino locksmith, who measured 23.5 inches tall as the world's shortest man. Is it wrong that I want to swaddle him up and carry him around on my back a la Luke and Yoda?
Guinness official Craig Glenday says Balawing, who turned 18 on Sunday, broke the record of Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal, who is 26.4 inches tall. Magar reportedly threw an adorable little temper tantrum upon hearing the news. The announcement drew a loud applause from Balawing's parents and townmates in Zamboanga del Norte's remote Sindangan township in the southern Philippines, who showered the new celebrity with a feast, a cake, balloons and cash gifts. Balawing thanked the crowd and posed for pictures (the cutest pictures EVER).
According to Balawing's family he was born a normal size and they didn't notice anything unusual about him until he was about 4 years old and his peers grew more than he did. He has not grown since his first birthday, his parents told Guinness. Hmmm, no growth from years 1 through 4? Seems perfectly normal to me. They are too poor to investigate what medical condition prevented him from growing taller, Guinness said. I'm no doctor but I'll bet you dollars for doughnuts he's got whatever Webster had (remember that show – I'm tearing up thinking about it). But they call him "their lucky charm," saying his father Reynaldo, a locksmith, had been unemployed until he was born, then found a job after his birth. "He needs my care every minute of every day. Junrey can only walk with some help and he can't stand for too long because he's in too much pain," his mother, Concepcion, said.
He does not have a girlfriend, he told Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday: "You fool!" he chides in his squeaky high-pitched voice, "Don't even ask!" He must be saving himself for Thumbelina. And from the "no shit" department Glenday was quoted as saying, "I can't imagine anyone else being quite so small." Thanks Craig – that's simply profound.
Craig Glenday from Guinness got so excited during Balawing's measurement that he almost smashed the little bugger with his fist. "Don't do it, Craig!"

[ several months prior to Relena's shooting ]
Master O frowned slightly as he stared at his subordinate.
"Is that the best you can do?"
"I'm afraid so. This is the only way I've managed to come up with to handle with the new security on the OZ computer networks. Once we get this program loaded," the younger scientist held up several disks, "We'll have a permanent backdoor into their systems. The hard part is getting *our* program onto their network."
"What's the problem?" Master O said.
"Well, our program needs to be loaded in steps in sync with OZ's security upgrades. We can't do it all at once. And it has to be done on a computer physically within the installation. That means that our operative has to be able to access a computer workstation -- one with sufficiently high security clearances -- inside the main OZ command complex at regular intervals for nearly SIX months!"
"And none of our agents have the necessary access?"
"No. I've got to tell you, sir, that I'm at a total loss here. I'm sure the program will work *if* we get it into OZ's computer system, but how we're going to accomplish that...." The younger scientist shook his head in despair.
"It's only possible at high security workstations, hm? Like the sort commanding officers would use?"
"Yes, but...."
Master O took the disks from the younger man's limp grasp.
"I'll take care of the arrangements."
"Sir, how on earth do you intend...?"
"It's not your concern or responsibility. Just concentrate on figuring out how best to exploit this program once it's loaded."
"Yes, sir," the younger man said dubiously as he left the lab.
Master O turned to his own computer and typed out a quick message. It was time for him to put his control theory to the test.
Wufei scowled as he read his email message from Master O.
(What could be so urgent to require an immediate, face-to-face meeting?)
He glanced at his watch. If he hurried, he should arrive right on time.
At the isolated cabin, Wufei stared at the older man and said tersely, "What's going on? What's so important...?"
Master O chuckled and said, "Sit down, Wufei, because this may take a while. I want you to take a look at something.... That's it. Just relax."
Some time passed, then the scientist sat down next to the motionless Wufei and said, "I have a very important mission for you. It will be difficult and perhaps even extremely distasteful, but I know you can handle it. After all, we have to be prepared to endure adversity and make great sacrifices in the pursuit of justice. You said so yourself, correct?"
"Yes... for justice...," came the dully whispered reply.
[ just over 5 months later ]
As Wufei got on the motorcycle and revved the engine, before taking off down the empty road, his mind continued to run through the same unanswerable questions that had haunted him both day and night for the last five months.
(What the hell's wrong with me? Why do I keep going back to him... and to his bed? Don't I have any pride!? Treize Khushrenada's the enemy! But I can't stop thinking about him....)
Try as he might, he couldn't deny that he felt something for the OZ general -- not merely lust, but something deeper... more than respect, more than mere affection....
(I think I just might be in love with him, damn it!) he thought with a sinking feeling in his stomach.
(If things were different... if we weren't enemies....)
Might as well wish for the moon.
The strange sense of foreboding that had been nagging him for the last several weeks certainly didn't help Wufei's state of mind. Something told him that his time with Treize was soon coming to an end. Wufei knew that his furtive relationship with the OZ general could not continue forever... not as long as they were on opposite sides of this ugly war. And he knew quite well that Treize would not betray his own particular beliefs any more than Wufei would abandon his own ideals of justice.
(But why now? Why do I have this sickening feeling that something terrible's going to happen between Treize and myself?)
The rushing wind gave him no answer.
"You're sleeping with one of them... the Gundam pilots."
Treize glanced at Zechs Merquise who prowled restlessly back and forth in his office.
"Don't bother to deny it, Treize."
"All right, I won't. But it's hardly your business who I sleep with, is it?" the OZ general replied coolly. "After all, you were the one who ended our relationship." A casual observer might have missed the faint, underlying tone of bitterness, but Zechs had no problem picking it up.
The pilot sighed, "I... I just needed some time to think things through...."
Treize merely raised an eloquent eyebrow, but said nothing.
"But you're wrong when you say that it's none of my business that you're sleeping with one of those damn Gundam pilots!" Slamming his hands down on Treize's desk, Zechs said urgently, "They're enemy terrorists! You know just how much mayhem and havoc they've caused, not to mention how many of our men they've killed! You don't know anything about him or how he thinks! What's to stop this Wufei Chang from slitting your throat one night!?"
In a polite, but firmly dismissive voice, Treize said, "I appreciate your concern, but are you quite through?"
Zechs made a frustrated noise and stalked off without another word.
Treize uttered a faint sigh. (I didn't mean to hurt you, but you were the one who walked away from me. And you're wrong, Zechs. True, I don't know much about Wufei, but I do know something very important about him. I know how he feels about me... I know he cares. And that's more than you ever gave me, Mirialdo.)
[ later that night ]
The OZ general did not awake as Wufei pulled free of his slumbering grasp and arose from the bed. The sleep-inducing drug that the teenager slipped into Treize's last glass of wine insured that nothing short of a grenade under the bed would wake the older man up.
But even if Treize had been awake, he would have had a difficult time recognizing his young lover. The Wufei who stood staring down at the general with cold dark eyes that glittered with a hard, fanatical fire was completely different from the emotionally torn, yet loving Wufei that Treize was familiar with -- an utter stranger.
Satisfied that the general was fast asleep, Wufei headed for Treize's desk, activated the computer, and calmly began uploading the next part of Master O's program into the OZ computer network.
An empty little smile appeared on Wufei's face as he monitored the upload. Ten sections done, three more stages to go. And once the last part of the program was completely embedded in the OZ network....
He would kill Treize Khushrenada.
Wufei suddenly winced and his hand drifted to his temple as the coldness in his eyes wavered for just an instant. Then with a sharp shake of his head, the icy fanatical gleam was back.
Master O had been quite correct. This assignment had not only been difficult, but at times, it had been positively disgusting. But his mission would soon be over and then he would take his revenge for all the indignities he had suffered at the general's hands.
Honor meant nothing. Love meant nothing. There was only justice. And if it was necessary to play the loving whore in Treize's bed to further the cause of justice....
....then so be it.

UKIP councillor urges people to dish the dirt on Labour rivalsPosted: January 25, 2015 Filed under: UKIP | Tags: Brian Morris, Councillor, dirty tricks, Jason Smith, Keighley, Keighley West, Samuel Fletcher, UKIP Leave a comment
A WAR of words has broken out between political parties after a UKIP councillor issued a plea for "bad press" on any Bradford Labour councillor.
Cllr Brian Morris (UKIP, Keighley West) tweeted his call for information on his rivals, after criticising a Labour leaflet sent to homes in the ward .
He said the leaflet featured comments made by UKIP Keighley Town Councillor Samuel Fletcher on the NHS last year which caused Cllr Fletcher to resign from the party last Friday.
In his tweet, Cllr Morris said: "Hi All Kippers. Can anyone who knows, or has any information or bad press, on any Labour councillor in Keighley or Bradford that can be verified please let me know as soon as possible.
"The reason for this is it looks as if the dirty tricks brigade is working overtime to undermine UKIP in Keighley.
"So we must be prepared to retaliate shot for shot if it continues."
Cllr Morris told the Telegraph & Argus today: "I like to shoot from the hip.
"No-one will benefit from saying things like that in public. Nobody wants to hear this type of thing.
"I have had quite a number of responses to my tweet already."
Jason Smith, UKIP chairman for Bradford, distanced himself from Cllr Morris's stance but said he will not face any disciplinary action.
Mr Smith said: "It's Cllr Morris's personal opinion, not the opinion of the UKIP party.
"I'm not going to reprimand him for having a personal opinion. That's not the way we operate.
"I don't think it's the right way to go about business in politics. I want to debate with Labour on policies.
"If Labour want to dig dirt on our candidates, I think Cllr Morris is making a point after Labour put a leaflet out in this area. Mr Fletcher fell on his sword over his comments.
"I'm not going to go down in the gutter with Labour.
"In my opinion, Labour wants to drag the election campaign into the gutter."
Labour and Bradford Council leader David Green denied there was any dirty tricks campaign being carried out by his group in Keighley or anywhere in Bradford.
He said: "I just find it pathetic.
"I'm not aware that there is any dirty tricks campaign against UKIP going on in Keighley or anywhere in Bradford.
"I am aware they are being challenged on their policies.
"Cllr Morris and his mates need spend their time on their policies, rather than trying to fight out what would appear to be a negative and dirty campaign against other people."

Months ago, I purchased a Groupon deal for Arirang Hibachi Steakhouse and it was nearing it's expiration date. So on a windy Friday night, I finally used my coupon during dinner with the boyfriend and his parents. We decided to order three dinner sets to share along with some sushi rolls, since my coupon was valid for hibachi and the sushi bar. Each set dinner comes with hot green tea, soup, salad, and ice cream for dessert along with whichever meat you choose. Fried rice is a separate order, which we also got.
A typical Japanese hibachi is used as a heating device, not for cooking. In actuality, the way foods are cooked in Arirang is a teppanyaki cooking style, which uses gas-heated hotplates that are integrated into tables to cook. There are many people (often multiple parties) sitting at the table and eating together. The chef performs the cooking in front of the diners.
Our chef started off with putting oil on the hotplate. Then he put on mixed vegetables. He left some on his platter, which he cut up into tiny squares to pitch at each member of the table so they could try to catch it with their mouths. The boyfriend caught his piece of vegetable on his first try!
After he put out the fire, he then proceeded to put on a show with some eggs. He spun the eggs on his spatula and then threw it up into the air to catch it with his hat. After a brief show, he cracked the eggs onto the hotplate to start making the fried rice.
The white rice that is used for fried rice comes in big balls, since it is two bowls made into one. He assembled a Mickey Mouse with one flattened bowl of rice and two balls. The rice is then incorporated with the eggs along with some veggies to make fried rice. The chef used two spatulas to flip and mix all the ingredients on the hotplate. The end result was a heart shaped mound of fried rice that he then split into several portions for us to eat.
After the fried rice, our chef proceeded to cooking the seafood – shrimp and scallops, along with some mushrooms. The shrimps are placed on the hotplate with the tail. The chef then uses his sharp knife to cut off all the tails. Each of us are given an even portion of scallops and shrimp – both of which were very flavorful and had that smoky flavor that comes from the hotplate.
After the seafood, our Chef moved on to cooking our steaks. The steaks are placed onto the hotplate whole. But after some cooking, the chef cuts them into smaller squares so they can be tossed around. Our steaks were chewy but not too cooked. There was a slight pink hue on the inside without it being too red. The mixture of steak chunks and mushrooms was delicious and juicy!
Our chef ended the show there and cleaned the hotplate before leaving. We were left to finish the food that we had neglected in order to watch the show. After we finished eating, we were offered ice cream. I opted to go for the green tea ice cream because I am always a sucker for green tea flavored foods.
The food is good but never anything spectacular. The main reason why I still go to Arirang is for the shows. I love Arirang for their dinner shows. They are always super fun to watch. The chefs sing and perform a variety of tricks with the food right in front of you. I recommend that you go with a large group, because then you can have the entire table to yourselves. Go for a birthday and order the special birthday cake treatment. I guarantee you will receive an experience you never could have imagined!

Subsurface-mobile 2.0 for Android
The Subsurface development team proudly announces the release 2.0 of Subsurface-mobile, a full fledged dive log program for Android devices. Subsurface-mobile allows you to access your dive log on your tablet or phone, edit the data and even download new dive information from many Bluetooth dive computers (and even some dive computers that require a download cable -- but there things get more complicated). Using a free Subsurface Cloud Storage account you can synchronize your dive data with the Subsurface desktop application (while significantly increasing the usefulness, the cloud account is not required to use Subsurface-mobile).
Subsurface-mobile v2 brings a significant overhaul of the user interface. Better structure, better visuals, better menus, better editing… a lot of our focus went into turning this into a better, visually more attractive and easier to use application.
Now you can easily see your dive lists and details, quickly change those details, and in many cases even download the latest dives from your dive computer -- all on a mobile device. Additionally, Subsurface-mobile lets you track GPS fixes during a dive trip and apply those to your dive list. You can also manually add new dives to a dive list.
Please check out the Subsurface-mobile v2 user manual.
Please report any issues you may run into in our user forum
As everything we do, Subsurface-mobile is free and open source. No ads, no commercial anything. And it comes with free cloud storage (if you decide to use that -- it's optional). Your data aren't used for anything, nothing gets monetized.

On January 22 2016 the Federal Circuit issued its opinion in Lumen View Technology LLC v Findthebest.com, Inc, addressing the award of enhanced attorneys' fees to a defendant. The court held that the district court had properly found the case to be exceptional, but improperly awarded enhanced attorneys' fees on the grounds of an expedited district court schedule and deterrence of plaintiff misconduct, as those factors were unrelated to the suitability of compensation of defendant's attorneys.
Non-practising entity (NPE) Lumen View Technology LLC was the exclusive licensee of US Patent 8,069,073 (the ''073 patent'), directed to a method for facilitating bilateral and multilateral decision-making using the preference data of two or more parties. Findthebest.com, Inc (FTB) operated a website with a feature entitled 'AssistMe' that provided personalised product and service recommendations based on the preference data of one party.
The district court granted FTB's motion for judgment on the pleadings, holding that the claims of the '073 patent were invalid for failure to claim patent eligible subject matter under 35 USC § 101. The district court then held that the case was exceptional under the totality of circumstances test outlined in Octane Fitness, LLC v ICON Health & Fitness, Inc.(1) The court found that the suit was frivolous and objectively unreasonable because the claims required (even under Lumen View's own construction) using preference data of two or more parties and even "the most basic" pre-suit investigation would have shown that FTB's accused feature used the preference data of only one party. In addition, the court found that Lumen View's motivation for filing suit was to extract a nuisance settlement from FTB, and that Lumen View's "predatory strategy" of baseless litigation showed the need for deterrence.
The district court awarded attorneys' fees with an enhancement of the lodestar amount by a multiplier of two. In its decision awarding enhanced fees, the district court cited several factors that were previously addressed in its exceptionality finding, including:
- the need to deter Lumen View's predatory strategy;
- Lumen View's desire to extract a nuisance settlement and threats to make the litigation expensive; and
- the frivolous nature of the claims.
The court also noted that the lodestar was uncharacteristically low due to the expeditious resolution of the case, and that FTB would have reasonably incurred significantly greater fees if the court had adopted Lumen View's proposed schedule.
The Federal Circuit panel affirmed the district court's holding that the case was exceptional, noting that even if Lumen View's conduct was "not quite sanctionable", the court had reasonably determined that the case was exceptional, especially since the infringement allegations were ill-supported under Lumen View's own claim construction. However, the court vacated and remanded as to the attorneys' fee award, finding that the district court had failed to provide a proper rationale to justify enhancing the attorneys' fee awarded by a multiplier of two. The court held that the expedited district court schedule was subsumed within the lodestar calculation and was not a basis for enhancing attorneys' fees. As to deterrence, the court held that although deterrence may be a consideration when determining whether to award attorneys' fees, it is not an appropriate consideration in determining the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees, which should be based primarily on the lodestar method.
Attorneys' fees and enhancements remain hot topics, and decisions on these issues continually affect the balance of power between NPEs and their targets. It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court decides Halo Electronics, Inc v Pulse Electronics, Inc and Stryker Corp v Zimmer, Inc later in 2016, when it will address the question of whether the more flexible framework for deciding the attorneys' fees question – as outlined in its 2014 decisions in Octane Fitness and Highmark Inc v Allcare Health Mgmt. Sys, Inc(2) – should be applied to the issues of wilful infringement and enhanced damages.

Fans of the iconic BBC sci-fi serial, Doctor Who, cite Russell T. Davies with reinvigorating the franchise both as a show runner, and for writing some of the more memorable episodes from seasons 1-4. It's true, he brought the show into the 21st Century, but even RTD has to adhere to the most sacred tenants (pun intended) of the Time Lords – you can't go back and revisit your own timeline.
In what should shock absolutely no Whovian on Planet Earth, Davies recently shared with RadioTimes that he had no plans of returning to Doctor Who as a guest writer in the foreseeable future:
The lovely Steven [Moffat] invites me every year to come and write one. And I love him and I love them and I love watching it, but here I am, moving on. I love Doctor Who with all my heart but nothing is more important to me than my own stuff.
Consider for a moment what that means. RTD says he won't return to write for Doctor Who, also sharing that for the past few years he's been invited back as a guest writer on multiple occasions. The door is open, but perhaps not to the TARDIS. When asked about whether he has any ideas for other Whovian-verse stories, he shares:
I made 60 episodes and did 40 Torchwoods and 40 Sarah Janes and there are an awful lot of ways to destroy the world in there.
That doesn't sound like a "No" to us. In fact, fans have continuously supported the more obvious directions for in-continuity spin-offs such as a River Song miniseries, a The Doctor's Daughter – "Jenny" miniseries, and additional Torchwood miniseries. It comes down to interest, and as RTD so eloquently states, his own work is the most important thing to him these days.
Current show runner (and series 1-4 writing alum) Steven Moffat, along with the two post-RTD incarnations of our favorite Gallifreyans (Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi, not counting John Hurt of course) have garnered their own acclaim and criticism, but to be sure they've held on to what keeps the franchise so powerful – the anxiety that at any second things could change for The Doctor, and his story could go in an entirely different direction. That's the strength of Doctor Who – it's power to regenerate into something new yet equally compelling.
Take note Davies fans, he was fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. We didn't want him to go. He wasn't a girl, and he wasn't a ginger, and we'll always remember when he the show runner, but there are others who know how to fly this thing.

Today we gave Lisa a challenge. We said, "Imagine you have $300 to spend...what would you buy with it? What pieces could you take home that could be stylish, flattering and versatile". It sounds near impossible but she managed to pick 6 ITEMS all for under $300!
Here is a breakdown of Lisa's favourites! What she loves about them and why:
1. Ombre Scarf $39: Shop NowThis scarf instantly lifts any basic piece and adds colour, texture and depth to your outfit. It can be worn as a fashion accessory or simply to keep you warm! Lisa mentioned that she normally prefers not to wear scarves as she is larger in the chest but said that this scarf was great as it isn't bulky. As a result you don't look top heavy and can get away with it!
Unfortunately this particular colour way sold out instantly! However, we still have the Red & Grey Ombre Scarf in stock.
2. Soft Black Draped Tee $49.95: Shop Now
The soft black draped tee is great as it comes in a size run (unlike some of our other 'one size fits all' oversized styles). This means, that you can size down if you're busty and don't want to look a tent. Let's be honest some times too much fabric is TOO much fabric. This piece pairs well with both the stripe mini skirt and is long enough to wear with ponte pants. Enough said?
3. Stripe Ponte Mini Skirt $49: Shop Now
This skirt is unlike other stripe numbers on the market at the moment, simply because it's thick! This fabric sucks you in and as Lisa likes to say, "makes you look a size smaller". If you still believe the horizontal stripes myth, don't, because it doesn't apply to this skirt!
If you're not interested in showing a bit of thigh, or knee, opt for the midi version instead -
Stripe Ponte Midi Skirt $59: Shop Now
4. White Woven Back Swing Top $59.95: Shop Now
Without sounding like a pushy salesperson, if you own a pair of jeans you need this top! Lisa loves this piece as it has a lower neckline and is flattering on a larger bust. It has a high-low scoop shape and fitted arms. As it has a different fabric at the back we all agree that it is dressy enough to take you from day to night.
5. Black Pull on Ponte Pant $49.95: Shop Now
If you've read our post, "What is Ponte?", then you will surely know we love the fabric and all the forms it comes in. Lisa isn't alone in loving this piece...we all love a pant that is slimming, versatile and really sucks you in! This style has a high enough rise that you're not pulling it up all day, perfection!
6. Black Knit Cape $59: Out of Stock
A knit cape is a necessity in the cooler months. Lisa loves as this particular style is the perfect weight for Queenslanders. We're honest when we say it's hot again right now so it's currently all we need. Bring on the winter chill please!
Unfortunately this style has since sold out. For something similar check out our -

Trivia Night Fundraiser is a Win!
By Tom Bode, President
Our third trivia night fundraiser was our biggest yet and a huge success! After all the pennies were counted, WSI raised over $3,000 — 100% of that money will go to the students' education. That's almost enough to pay for four students for a year! Just as importantly, everyone who came had a great time.
Over 75 people attended, almost completely filling our room at Lucky Lab NW. After 40 trivia questions, team "Savanah Savants" won with an almost-perfect score. Guests purchased raffle tickets to try their luck at winning some of the prizes that ranged from bird feeders to wine to restaurant gift certificates. And people who didn't win any prizes shopped our selection of gifts. (You can purchase our Handmade in Kenya notecards and our new WSI t-shirts on our website).
Thanks to everyone who donated time, money and prizes to make the event a success, including: Lucky Labrador Brewing Company and Backyard Birdshop.

Visiting a Student's Home
By Ruby Buchholtz, WSI Board Member
When was the last time you were so overwhelmingly welcomed into a strange land? For me that time was during my trip to Kenya with WSI Board President Tom and Board Member Tony. In June of 2016, we were lucky enough to travel to Kenya to visit with the students, teachers, and families of the students we sponsor through WSI. During the trip, it wasn't the animals on safari, or conditions of the schools, or even the outstanding work the students have been doing that surprised me most, it was the student's parents.
The parents continually showed us nothing but hospitality and gratefulness for our presence in their children's lives. There was one instance that has stayed with me since the trip, and most likely will stay in my heart for the rest of my life. We were half way through our visit in Nakuru, visiting the schools, speaking with the teachers, taking our students on a field trip when one student's mother, Mama Lydia, invited us over to her house for a visit to thank us for all we have done. Millie, our main contact in Kenya and huge supporter of WSI, joined us on our visit to act as an interpreter and guide.
We walked from the school, through town and entered an area that was devastatingly different. There was no pavement to walk or drive on, only dirt. There were goats and children running freely throughout the area, and the homes were all one room cinder blocks. This area, Millie told us as we walked, was denoted as "the slums."
Mama Lydia welcomed us into her home where newspaper lined the walls, and a sheet divided the one room into a bedroom and sitting room. We sat down and thanked her for having us, she offered us tea and some fruit, a gesture ingrained in their culture no matter their level of income. Mama Lydia, much like many other middle aged women, was a street vendor. She would sell fruit or snacks to the passers-by in the city. This type of occupation doesn't promise a steady income; it is hit or miss depending on the day.
As the conversation continued Mama Lydia broke down and started crying while telling us how grateful she was for us coming into her and her daughter Lydia's lives. She told us that if we hadn't gathered funds for Lydia to go to boarding school she would be with the other children going to school whenever the family didn't need them to help make money for the family. She mentioned that living in the slums makes being a successful student difficult. There are a lot of distractions, pressures from the family, and none of the homes come with electricity, making studying in the evening difficult, if not impossible. Through the tears and thanks Mama Lydia also mentioned that she had saved up for a few years to get a lamp and pay for electricity for Lydia to study when she comes homes for breaks.
While sitting there all I could think about was how sincere Mama Lydia's appreciation was for our assistance through WSI. There we were sitting in her home, drinking her tea and eating her snacks not even fully aware of the impact we had had in this woman's life. It is challenging to know if the fundraising we are doing in the states is having any true and meaningful difference in these students lives, but I can tell you that we are not only changing the lives of these students but also their families. We are giving them hope for their children to have a better life than they have, and to succeed in ways they had assumed were never attainable. Thank you to all who donate to WSI, your donations have been, and will continue to be, gestures of hope and change for the students and their families.
New WSI student Joyce begins her freshman year
By Tom Bode, President
World Scholarship Initiative's tenth sponsored student, Joyce, began her freshman year at Christ the King Girls Boarding School in February 2017. We recently received a letter from Joyce and wanted to share it with you, because it introduces her better than we can:
(click on image to view larger size)
Joyce was awarded a full scholarship to high school because she scored very highly on the end-of-primary-school exam and has financial need. We are very excited to watch her grow and succeed in high school and can't wait to hear more from her.
The Power of Education
By Tony Mecum, WSI Board Member
While we we in Kenya last June, WSI Board Member Tony Mecum, a middle school science teacher by in New York, taught science classes at St. Paul's Primary School. This is his reflection
During our trip to Kenya, we spent one week in Nakuru with our students, their families, and their community. Our goal was to ensure each dollar donated to the World Scholarship Initiative was going directly to the education of our students. Our visit accomplished more than we could have imagined. Not only was the money we raised appropriated faithfully, we learned that our students were excelling at a higher level than most of their affluent peers. Our students' principals made it very clear: each of our students were setting the bar to which their classmates had yet to reach. This delightful news led us to seek out how our students gained the academic strength and perseverance to succeed, despite the odds stacked against them. That understanding required us to look back through their academic journey, starting with St. Paul's Primary School.
Upon our arrival to the neighborhood primary school our students attended, the teachers and school leadership greeted us with seemingly endless meals, stories, and choreographed performances by the younger students. The excitement at the school was electrifying. Despite the dilapidated infrastructure and lack of basic school supplies, students in every class we toured participated in classroom discussions and projects. As we visited each classroom, it was a stark reminder that education did not require fancy equipment like computers and projectors. It required something much deeper. We learned that the love and tireless service of the school leadership kept the school's spirit alive, even though most of its students would face extreme poverty upon graduation, even if they ranked top of their class. Vice Principal Millie, in particular, exemplified this unwavering faith in the power of education by making sure students were set up for success even though their futures were precarious at best. Millie had worked directly with Tom during his year of teaching and now assists our organization by helping the students and their families adjust to boarding school, paying school fees and purchasing supplies, and doing all the other on-the-ground work to make WSI happen. She spends hours beyond her workday to do these tasks, unpaid, because she knows this is the only way our students can have a chance to break from poverty. To share a glimpse of her invincible optimism, she invited me to teach a science class.
Throughout my 60-minute lesson, each student eagerly asked questions, participated in each challenge, and genuinely sought to learn. As the lesson progressed smoothly, I could only think about how many students in that classroom had no chance of attending high school. Despite their eager participation in the heart rate activity and curiosity about the circulatory system, their passion for education would not give them the same returns as it would an American student. For education to free them from a life of poverty would be a miracle.
On our last day at St. Paul's Primary School, we were sent off with a school-wide performance, dance, meal, and gifts. It was very apparent that World Scholarship Initiative was the miracle that our students had hoped for in order to attend a great high school. World Scholarship Initiative reaches out to donors, coordinates logistics with Mille, and brings the impossible to a small group of young women and men who would otherwise be working in the slums right now for less than $5 a day.
Our fundraising back home is a side activity that, at times, seems like a hobby of little significance. However, to our students – and future students eagerly wanting to know more about the circulatory system and to one day leave the slums – our fundraising is literally saving lives. I hope our donors realize the incredible gift they have given. Donations to World Scholarship Initiative is world changing for children who have no other chance. Everything we do with WSI, every dollar we raise, is so incredibly humbling and absolutely necessary for the lives of ten phenomenal young women and men.

You know how it is. You scroll through your e-mail – your social media feed – clicking away. Usually, I ignore random pop-up anything. I don't like to waste my reading time. But when God winks, you have to blink and then sometimes double blink just to make sure you saw what you saw. Come to think about it, there was another devotion that got those blinks started even earlier.
In Jewish tradition, this is the week they remember Moses giving Israel its final blessing before he climbed the mountain to return to YHWH. I've read this passage a few times over the decades, but this time I really saw Moses as that preacher/teacher man that he must have been. Here's a bunch of people gathered around – watching him – waiting for direction – impatient – worried. Some enthusiastically chose to follow. Some were probably pressured to join. Some were family members and had no choice. Some probably just wanted to get outta that 'Egyptian' Dodge. In any case, LOTS of people, left their friends and other family members choosing to follow this Moses character and help him build a new tent.
Good people. Untrained people. People of all ages. People who had only known slavery and abuse. Angry people. Stubborn people. Confused people. Sinful people. Hopeful people. Needy people. Rebellious people. Luckily, people that didn't have to worry about food, or illness, or clothing, or even shelter. God covered those bases. Still – all in all – it was a lot of people.
I remember a few classrooms that were full of the same kind of people – just not so many. I remember the frustration of having so many hands in the air – waiting for help – waiting for more direction – trying to find the words that would explain what I had already said a dozen times before. Lucky for me – kids are not quite as set in their ways – not so fragmented – not so clueless. Moses throwing those tablets really didn't really surprise me when I thought about it. After all, Moses was a human, too, and frailty is our middle name.
"For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. ~Deut 34:12
Which brings me back to the second blink. Did you know that Johann Sebastian Bach always signed his completed work with the acronym: AMDG? Ad Majorem Dei Gloria. In the old days, when we were required to take Latin in high school, we knew this could be translated, 'To the great glory of God.'
Seeing that little phrase threw me right back to 1971 when my college choral group started practicing the Bach B-Minor Mass. Our choir director pointed out that dedication because he wanted us to understand what Bach heard in his head as he wrote it. Little did I know that in the few months we worked on it my life would change. You see, two months after my father died, we performed that work, and for the rest of my life, nothing will ever surpass the Glory of God that surrounded me that night.
What if we looked at everything like Herr Bach? Roll out of bed. Feed the dogs. Wash the dishes. Drive the car. Do the same job we did the day before. Listen to whiny people. Help a child with homework. Signing everything as we completed it with the initials, AMDG.
What if?
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."~Lk 12:32
So there you go, and that is my prayer for pastors tonight. In Yeshua's name, I pray that you are able to write the acronym, AMDG, at the end of your day – every day. Whether it be after all the trips at all hours of the night, or the millionth complaint about the length of the sermon, or the gossip that is circulating in the junior high group, or the furnace that needs replacing, or the funeral that is coming tomorrow, or the day that seems to have no end or money that is never enough. That somehow – like Moses, you are able to perform awesome deeds and mighty works that always reflects the Glory of God.

Each tiger's stripes tell a unique tale
Stripe patterns on tigers have now provided scientists a code to identify when and where poachers made their kills, with a help of a new computer software, said a study published in the British journal Biology Letters. Chetan Chauhan reports.india Updated: Mar 30, 2009 01:33 IST
Stripe patterns on tigers have now provided scientists a code to identify when and where poachers made their kills, with a help of a new computer software, said a study published in the latest edition of British journal Biology Letters.
UK-based Conservation Research Limited and Bangalore-based World Conservation Society (WCS) had discovered a code hidden in tigers' stripes, which is unique to each animal, just like fingerprints and DNA are to humans.
This code can help wildlife investigators track skins recovered from the poachers to the forests where the killings were made. "Now with the help of technology, we can use it against poachers as forensic evidence," said Fayaz Khudsar, a Delhi-based wildlife scientist.
In this new system, images of the big cats are taken by automated camera traps. The pictures are then fed into a computer, which melds several pictures into a three-dimensional map of an animal's markings from the neck to the base of the tail.
The map is digitally flattened until it resembles a tiger skin, which can be compared to pictures of skins being traded in the black market, said the research paper.
"If copies of camera trap images were accumulated in a central database, an image taken from a tiger in that database could be traced within a few minutes to where and when the living animal was last recorded," the authors wrote in a paper published this week in Biology Letters.
"Catching maximum number of animals on camera traps is important for conservation and protecting tigers," K. Ullas Karanth, senior conservation scientist at WCS told HT. In India, about 40-50 per cent of estimated 1,411 tigers are captured in cameras.

"So … I'm thinking about getting [my dog] Floyd into modeling," Miley Cyrus confessed on Twitter earlier this month. "But I'm scared I'm gonna turn into one of those crazy stage moms."
The pop star has since set her fears aside and put her three dogs – Floyd, Lila and Ziggy – in front of the cameras, and all for a good cause.
The three pups each took a solo turn looking their fiercest for photographer Vijat Mohindra. Lila the Yorkie wore her nautical dress, while Ziggy the English bulldog and Floyd the Alaskan klee kai stayed in the buff.
These headshots will only be used for castings, according to Cyrus, so expect more cuteness to come. And though she hasn't shared specifics, Cyrus says all the proceeds from the pups' photos will go to help other rescue animals.

text: Just add sun to make your winters fun Looking for winter sun without the jet-lag and flight time of the Caribbean? A home in one of these destinations in the Atlantic should make escaping the UK's chilly months a cinch Sea-view pad in Sal, Cape Verde Cape Verde An archipelago 350 miles off West Africa, Cape Verde's resorts and holiday home options focus primarily around the islands of Sal and Boa Vista. Both can be reached via direct flights by Thomas Cook and Thomson Airways from various UK airports. Flight time is around six hours with no jet-lag; the time difference is just an hour. Cape Verde's tropical oceanic climate, with typical December temperatures hovering around 25°C, complements the pristine sandy beaches of Sal and Boa Vista. With barren volcanic interiors, most of the fun on these islands happens on the coast, where conditions are ideal for wind and kite surfing. Santa María, in Sal, is the archipelago's main tourism hub. Centred around a charming old harbour, the town fuses its colonial Portuguese past with an exotic African edge. Property options there include small complexes within the town and larger, all-inclusive type resorts just outside. Lounge by the pool in Lanzarote! Canary Islands The Canaries cater for just about every taste and type of second homeowner. While each of the four main islands benefits from a typical December temperature of 22°C, each is slightly different in terms of landscape and typical homeowners. There are numerous flight options to the Spanish archipelago, with typical flight time from the UK being four to four-and-a-half hours, depending on the island. Mountainous Tenerife, the largest and most developed Canary island, has a bit of everything, but the lively, cosmopolitan resorts of Playa de la Américas and Los Cristianos in the south are where most sun-seeking second-homeowners head. The smaller resorts in Tenerife's panoramic northern half offer a quieter lifestyle. In Gran Canaria, the second most important island in terms of tourism, the buzzing resorts around the Maspalomas sand dunes and Playa del Inglés in the south contrast with the sub-tropical north and interior. Another cultural highlight is the historic capital Las Palmas. Flatter and less verdant Lanzarote is a beach destination to the core. Two key resorts there are Puerto del Carmen, the liveliest and the largest and with one of the largest beaches on the island, Playa Grande, fronted by a strip. In the south is Playa Blanca, a former fishing village that has become an attractive family destination, boasting 5-star hotels, a chic marina and a beautiful seafront promenade. Magnificent panoramas in Madeira Madeira Known as the Pearl of the Atlantic for its colourful flora, the Portuguese island of Madeira sits around 500 miles north of the Canaries. It's a sub-tropical destination traditionally popular with more mature visitors and homeowners, who are drawn by the lush, natural scenery and cultural attractions. A highlight is the capital Funchal, with its relaxed pavement cafés, world-class restaurants and impressive harbour. Sandy beaches are scarce in Madeira, but the sea views are breath-taking. More than half of the island is protected by UNESCO World Heritage status, so active visitors will find the average December temperature of 20°C ideal for exploring the island during the winter months. Direct flights from the UK to Madeira are plentiful and take less than four hours. Written by Overseas Guides Company. For more information on buying abroad get your FREE Country Buying Guide!

On this day in 2007, Harry Redknapp reckoned Joey Barton should face a three-match ban for deliberately stamping on Pedro Mendes.
Pompey's boss felt the Manchester City midfielder cynically took Pedro Mendes out of the game three days earlier at Fratton Park – a match the Blues won 2-1 – and ought to have been punished with a straight red card.
Mendes believed the tackle was deliberate – but revealed he had received an apology from Barton.
Redknapp claimed Mendes had been victimised after finishing both games against City that season on a stretcher.
The Londoner was sickened by Mendes' treatment at the hands of Ben Thatcher earlier that season at Eastlands and now Barton.
Redknapp's views were hardened after spending time watching replays of Barton rake his studs down Mendes' Achilles.
He was furious Barton escaped with just a yellow card for a challenge that ended Mendes' match and left him on crutches.
Speaking to The News at the time, Redknapp said: 'Pedro was running the game before he got hurt.
'I thought it was a bad challenge.
'The ball had already long gone when Pedro was fouled.
'Barton meant to do it. Anyone who starts saying it was an accident needs their heads looking at.
'Barton deliberately did Pedro. He deserved a red card.'
Redknapp added: 'The other thing that annoyed me was the referee.
'Mike Dean, let the game go on for two minutes while Pedro was lying on the floor in agony.
'The game carried on and he didn't blow his whistle.'
Mendes, who scored Pompey's opening goal in the 2-1 victory, was knocked unconscious by Ben Thatcher's elbow at Eastlands in August 2006.

Haiti - Football : Grenadiers in Asia !
25/09/2017 09:40:26
However, in a letter sent by the Chinese Football Federation to Carlo Marcelin, Secretary General of the Haitian Football Federation (FHF), the China-Haiti friendly match scheduled for October 6 was postponed. This letter specifies that the match will be played at a later date that the two Federations will fix together during the year 2018.
On the other hand, the other friendly match against Japan is maintained for Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at the "Nissan Stadium" in Yokohama to 7.30 pm (japan time) (6.30 am, Haiti time). For the occasion the Colombian equipment manufacturer of the Grenadiers, SAETA has made special outfits. Our Grenadiers will wear a white jersey, red panties and red stockings for this match.
The Japanese team, headed by former French-Yugoslav center Vahid Halihodzic, composed almost exclusively of foreign professionals is the second team after Iran, qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia.
For Haiti, the match against the Japanese team will have a double challenge: the FIFA rankings on the one hand and the Kirin Cup (the biggest annual meeting of Japanese football) for the trophy and a financial bonus to the winner of the match.
The delegation and our Grenadiers will arrive in Japan on October 7th.

Most letting agents who think they own a letting agency, don't. They are simply self-employed. There is nothing wrong with being self-employed, own your letting agency, it must be able to operate successfully without you.
If your letting agency can run without you, congratulations! You have a systemised business that you can scale, grow and perhaps even sell.
However, if you are indispensable to your letting agency, then this book was written for you.
In his book FROM STRESS TO SUCCESS by John Paul (Sunday Times UK Letting Agent of the Year 2014 + owner of a 7 office agency operation in County Durham with over 2,000 managed properties) you will learn how to:
1. Review your existing processes so you can improve and systemise them
2. Write a detailed and usable business operations manual
3. Effectively train and develop your team to operate your business without you
4. Lead, rather than simply manage, your business and your people
5. Build a valuable asset that works for you now, and in the future

Author: Christopher Watkin
I teach, guide, support, mentor, consult, counsel, partner many hundreds of UK Estate and Letting Agents in their quest to grow their estate and lettings agencies business.
Old school techniques of touting, landlords wanted leaflets, ring us for a free valuation, we have sold this in your street leaflets don't work anymore. There are too many competitor agents .. meaning cheap fees are epidemic, overvaluing is almost a norm to get the stock and don't even mention about the online/hybrid threat.
So a few years ago, I set about looking around the UK and spotted that certain agents (not many mind you) in certain towns were still seen as the 'go to person on property', the person the newspaper editor rang up every week for a comment and I looked at what they did and they were doing some thing quite remarkable…. Only one thing but they were doing it so well .. and reaping the reward in terms of decent listings and decent fees, happy staff, decent sales pipeline and exchange income, managed lettings portfolios in the many hundreds .. but more importantly, they really enjoyed the job… they enjoyed getting up in the morning and people looked up to them
Over 400 agents around the UK are on a mission to change the way our Estate and Lettings agency profession is perceived and looked upon, doing it town by town, city by city. I guide these 400 agents, teach them, mentor them and support them to be seen in a different light, to be seen as the 'go to person for property', actually be the 'local property expert' and prove it.

We've had plenty of rain here in the UK and I've certainly taken less photos this year.ReplyDelete
Neva, nice shot and yes I can see those raindrops. Like you I worry about my camera getting wet. Sometimes I walk near to the sea or near a fountain - same problem.ReplyDelete
we had rain last night - first since May - so we are lucky except it came with hailstones and that's not good news for such a parched landscape.
