"As Africans and people of African descent, we have to be very selective about what we read. Free books are never really free. Some cause more damage to our identiy an conciousness than we really know. When we receive a free book we have to first consider the side-effects of its content on our identity and especially on our subconscious mind before we make the decision whether to read it or not. Not every free book is ´good for us and if we think it is not good for us, then it is not worth reading. instead we have to start writing our own books. that what we seek to do with our "Africa for Smart Kids concept.

Patient Information
Your First Visit: The Consultation
Your first visit with the Oral Surgeon is a very important part of the doctor/patient relationship. It is at this visit that your problem will be diagnosed. Your treatment options (which may or may not involve surgery) will be explained to you.
Based on information given to you during the consultation, you may wish to book a surgical appointment at this time or take time to consider your options discussing the matter further with family or friends. If you remain unsure of what you would like to do; we encourage you to have a second follow up consultation. At the follow-up consultation; the surgeon will review any questions or concerns you have.
For patients residing a great distance from Winnipeg (Northern Manitoba, North Western Ontario or Eastern Saskatchewan) we'll make arrangements to minimize your travel. Your consultation with the Oral Surgeon can be booked the day before surgery.
Most Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery procedures are NOT covered by Provincial Health Care. Professional fees, insurance plans and pre-authorizations will be fully explained by a staff member at your consultation appointment. Many patients have a private dental insurance plan.
We will accept payment directly from your insurance company provided we have pre-authorized approval. Please provide our receptionist with a copy of the pre-authorization form. You will be required to pay the portion of the fee that is not covered by your insurance company.

Big day today, Mum got to go home! Its not fair I have to stay here. Anyway things went well today, the nurses put my oxygen mix down to 21% which is the same as the rest of you breathe so that means I must be breathing better!
I opened my eyes to look around a lot more today and found lots more things to explore with my hands i even tried to tug a few of them.
In the evening I got another surprise when Mum and Dad visited, they brought Grandma and Grandad Norman with them! It's the first time me and Grandad have met, he sounds a bit like Dad.
Mum gave me even more milk today so hopefully I'll be getting gallons of it over the next few weeks. Mum and Dad told me lots of people have sent us gifts and cards but I cant see them, or play with them till I get home :-( thanks for them all anyway I'm sure I will be playing with them soon enough.
Mum and Dad said I have to wish Auntie Claire a happy birthday! Its very close to my Birthday, good job we didn't clash can't wait till I get to meet you.
Tomorrow the Doctors are coming around again to talk techno about me and then hopefully tell Mum, Dad and me what it all means.
Anyway you're tiring me out, go away and turn off the lights on your way out ;-)

AMITIAE - Thursday 2 June 2016
Cassandra: AppleCare - Economic Sense or a Waste?
By Graham K. Rogers
Sébastien Page argues well that in terms of economics, if every device is covered the layout could be (in his case) a couple of thousand dollars over 5 years. It may be simply worth replacing the device in some situations, but this is like insurance: you don't need to insure your house, but you could be in serious trouble financially if your house burned down.
I did experience something like this in the 1980s when I went away to university: a cold snap caused a pipe to burst, flooding my house and the neighbour's. Insurance covered that, including his hi-fi system.
AppleCare+ provides additional hardware service and technical support from Apple, including coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage per device covered. AppleCare+ is available for Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch Edition, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
But that depends on whether it is available in the particular country I used Singapore for the quote above). The standard AppleCare has limited coverage in comparison, but in my opinion, still has value: the owner bets with Apple on nothing going wrong.
The second involved the screen. The available screen area appeared to be shrinking from the left. Connecting an external monitor showed a full screen, so the hardware was probably at fault. It took three days and the MacBook Pro was returned with a new screen, which would have been more than AppleCare. In a country where average incomes are lower, the relative costs of new parts makes a difference. I won.
In the past I have had a new hard disk, and a warranty repair on an iPhone 6 with a persistent blue screen was of course free: the phone itself was replaced with a new model.
Like house insurance, fully comprehensive car insurance, travel insurance, the consumer makes that bet with the insurance issuer about events that may never happen. My house may never burn down, I may never have another accident, my flights will not be cancelled. But if they are - or if my Mac, or any other Apple device that I buy AppleCare for - I will be covered, within the terms of the agreement.
Graham K. Rogers teaches at the Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University in Thailand. He wrote in the Bangkok Post, Database supplement on IT subjects. For the last seven years of Database he wrote a column on Apple and Macs. He is now continuing that in the Bangkok Post supplement, Life.

This report presents hydrologic data collected by the U. S. Geological Survey from 1930 to 2001 with emphasis on data collected from 1997 to 2001 as part of a study of ground-water resources in Cedar Valley, Iron County, southwestern Utah (fig. 1). Data collected prior to this study are also presented to show long-term trends. Data were collected during this study in cooperation with the Central Iron County Water Conservancy District; Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources; Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality; Cedar City; and Enoch City; as part of a study to better understand the ground-water resources of Cedar Valley and to assess possible effects of increased ground-water withdrawal on water quality. Quality of ground water in Cedar Valley is variable and water suppliers need to know if additional water resources can be developed without drawing water of lower quality into public-supply wells.
Cedar Valley is in central Iron County at the transitional boundary between the Basin and Range and Colorado Plateau physiographic provinces described by Hunt (1974) and covers about 570 mi2. Additional data from wells west of Cedar Valley and to the south in the vicinity of Kanarraville in the Virgin River drainage (Colorado River Basin) adjacent to the study area are included. Cedar Valley is bounded on the east by the Markagunt Plateau and Red Hills, on the southwest by the Harmony Mountains, on the west by a complex of low hills, and on the north by the Black Mountains. Altitudes in the study area range from about 5,300 ft in Mud Spring Canyon to about 10,400 ft at Blowhard Mountain to the east.

Micro-entrepreneur: the French example
The renewal of our economy is made possible through creativity and innovation. This is not without significance. How we trade has been thoroughly shaken with the advent of the digital era. New decentralized ecosystems bring the providers of goods and services and their potential buyers or users in direct contact with each other. Anyone can offer ever more freely and according to his own agenda offer skills in a market that is no longer a "labor market", but one that is more and more focused on projects.
Perfect competition
Such a professional environment looks a lot like the prediction of the French-Swiss economist Léon Walras (1834-1910). He argued that an economy aims for balance in a context of perfect competition. Like the stock markets, according to his theory, the market is an exchange where the prices are determined by scanning (trial and error method). Or rather through successive iterations. The market place resembles a huge sales hall, animated by the auctioneer who assigns price tags to the goods and services. The balance comes about as soon as the production factors (particularly labor and capital) will be auctioned on the basis of their marginal value. In the eyes of Walras not the absolute amount of work is important but its marginal utility. Globalization is changing the world little by little into a kind of giant eBay, which is what Walras imagined it would be like. He envisioned the world as a huge market with its own resources for self-regulation.
Flexible working
But why quote Walras in a tax OpEd? Because the tax and social joints of our system should be able to move much more smoothly. I'm not talking about the "mini-jobs" that resulted in teeth grinding in the Di Rupo government, but the concept of micro-entrepreneur which was introduced in France in 2014. It involves a specific statute that caters to the needs of flexibility (I should say malleability) that characterizes this new economy. That statute is contrary to the tax methods that are applicable in the sharing economy; the same ones that have been outlined in the budget conclave beginning of April. So we speak about an alternative to the current status of self employed person.
What does that mean exactly? A micro-entrepreneur is a person who establishes an individual company to pursue an activity as their main or secondary activity. This may either be a liberal profession as a commercial or artisanal activity. Anyone can use this regime: job seekers, students, employees, civil servants, professionals, retirees. All of them can quite easily start an activity and combine it with a salary or pension. However, it is not compatible to be active at the same time as micro-entrepreneurs and run a business while being self-employed.
If the turnover is less than about 82,000 euros for a commercial or about 33,000 per year for a service activity, the profit is calculated on the basis of the turnover (at a rate ranging from 1% to 2.2% of turnover by type of activity) and not on the basis of the taxable income which would result from accounting. The tax must be paid monthly or quarterly. The book keeping therefore becomes much less cumbersome.
An innovative initiative
Of course this also implies that the costs are not deductible. The services rendered are also exempt from VAT. So the same goes for micro entrepreneurs. From an administrative and accounting point of view, the VAT exemption facilitates management considerably. The amount paid by the micro-entrepreneur in social contributions, corresponds to a percentage of the turnover and is situated between 13.3 and 22.9%. The contributions thus depend on the income, which is a huge difference compared to the Kafkaesque Belgian system. They are final and cover the whole of the social obligations: invalidity and death, retirement, family contributions, etc. A micro-entrepreneur enjoys the same social protection as an independent. If we combine the tax on turnover and social charges, then we end up with a tax ranging from 14% to 25% of sales.
The new French system of taxes and social contributions is probably not infallible. And also not free from criticism. But it is at least innovative in a professional world that is losing its structure. And which, to a large extent, no longer opts for a collective approach. The statute of micro-entrepreneur is in my opinion an interesting fact. It might not be a bad idea for our Minister of Finance to study it a bit more closely.

An interesting sexual harassment lawsuit has been settled, and the original complaint exemplifies how sexual harassment in this increasing-connected world can occur in many different ways.
The sexual harassment lawsuit in question was filed by two college students last summer. The two women sued Delta College in Michigan because they alleged that their professor sent inappropriate tweets to them that created an "intimidating, offensive and sex-based educational environment." They were following their professor on Twitter because the professor said he would use the platform for educational purposes.
Interestingly enough, the professor resigned before the lawsuit was filed. He still maintains that he did nothing wrong in the case, but he resigned in November 2015 while the lawsuit was filed in July 2016.
The lawsuit was recently settled, as the University approved a $195,000 award to the two women. In the settlement, the college -- and the professor -- admits no liability or fault in the case.
This is usually how these cases go. Settlements are very common in the world of employment law, regardless of the type of case. Workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, wage and hour cases: they can all be resolved with a settlement, and they usually do. In these settlements, an admission of guilt by the employer is unheard of. We say this not to discourage plaintiffs in their effort to earn justice, but to remind people out there that this is simply a very real and likely outcome.

text: 1. What do you believe we can improve on, at First South Financial Credit Union? The interviewer is not asking for you to give a whole list of what you think they do poorly. This question offers an opportunity for you to point out a single aspect that you could improve on, should you be hired. The point is to show the interviewer that there may be a gap in their offering that you can help fill. Remain positive and upbeat when you give your answer. Example #1: "I believe that First South Financial Credit Union could serve its customers even better by having a stronger online and social media presence for each community that you serve. I happen to be very passionate about marketing, and quite knowledgable so I am happy to help!" Example #2: "Although your community involvement is strong, there are opportunities for involvement that would branch out past seasonal volunteer work. I would love to see First South Financial Credit Union host more community efforts rather than primarily sponsoring the efforts of others. I have an extensive background in volunteering as a volunteer coordinator and could help First South Financial Credit Union craft a great strategy for this particular community." 2. Credit Unions rank higher in customer service than traditional banks. Why do you think this is? Your opinion matters! When you are working for a credit union vs. a traditional bank, it's essential that you can wholly appreciate the difference between the two offerings. Discuss why you believe credit unions rank higher in customer service over traditional banks. Be sure to compliment First South Financial Credit Union if you have had an excellent customer service experience with them. Example #1: "Large banks are for-profit, making them more sales driven. This approach can often mean a lower focus on customer service and impersonal service. When it comes to credit unions, we often have higher community involvement, which translates to better customer service at the same time. Credit unions often have better employee training, which also can mean more personalized service for members." Example #2: "Credit unions are non-profits, and member-owned, which means they will almost always be more customer-centric. Credit unions are often involved in community groups and take more care than large, and traditional banks can. Also, if we consider geographical location; most credit unions are in smaller, rural communities where service and connection is everything." 3. In your opinion, what is the best service or product offered at First South Financial Credit Union? The interviewer wants to see that you have put time into researching and getting to know the offering at First South Financial Credit Union. As a well-established credit union, First South Financial Credit Union offers an excellent range of banking products for their loyal members. Choose which service or product you think stands out from the rest, and why. Example #1: "I appreciate the terms surrounding your Traditional Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA). When used properly, this tax-deferred retirement plan can significantly benefit your members. Could you share with me what percentage of your members take advantage of this offering?" Example #2: "The home equity loans offered by First South Financial Credit Union sound wonderful! Your fixed-rate equity loan offers stability for the members who take advantage. This product is a great option for your members who need money for a one-time or unexpected expense. Set monthly payments mean there are no surprises for your members." 4. Are you a First South Financial Credit Union member? The answer to this question will be straightforward; yes, or no. Depending on your status, you may not be eligible for member approval at First South Financial Credit Union. If you are not a member, or not eligible to be a member, talk about the fact that you would be a member if possible. If you are a member, be ready to talk about what you enjoy most about banking with First South Financial Credit Union. Example #1: "I have been a member at First South Financial Credit Union since moving to this town in 2011. I have been thrilled with the personalized customer service, your competitive fees, and reasonable interest rates on unsecured loans. Just last year, I received my first mortgage through First South Financial Credit Union and was so happy with how smooth the entire process was." Example #2: "At this point, I do not meet the requirements to become a member at First South Financial Credit Union. I would love to be a member one day when I am eligible. I hear many excellent factors associated with membership at your credit union. The online reviews are excellent, and I look forward to further serving your hard-working, well-deserving members." 5. You will handle member transactions in this role. Talk to me about your mathematical skills. Expectations are that you handle every member transaction with the utmost care and attention. In addition to this keen sense of detail; strong math skills are also a necessity when it comes to working in a banking environment. Discuss your math skills, showing confidence in your abilities related to cash-handling, counting, and making smooth member transactions. Example #1: "I did very well in any math-related courses while obtaining my business degree. My math skills are strong, and I very rarely have a discrepancy in the workplace. I will meet the expectations of accuracy for First South Financial Credit Union and your members." Example #2: "Math has always been a strong suit for me. I did very well in high school math and was even a tutor for struggling students. I am comfortable with the math skills required when it comes to accepting cash, giving exact cash amounts, keying in transactions, balancing cash floats, and performing other banking-related tasks."

For The Woodstock Community Food Shelf
Remember back when Irene was imminent and you were wondering how long power and phone would stay connected? Somewhere in the midst of the storm, we here in Woodstock, and in Bridgewater and Reading, were cut off from not only power and phone, but fresh water, cell service, and each other. Social media helped to save the day. If one could get an Internet connection, you could go on Facebook, and maybe get email exchanges going. VTrans quickly put up a remarkable site, with up-to-the-minute vital highway info, the governor posted on Twitter as he traveled by helicopter, while the newly created Facebook page Woodstock VT Flood Relief followed the lead of Vermont Strong.
Nonprofits Sustainable Woodstock and the Woodstock Community Food Shelf partnered with the town and the Woodstock VT Flood Response to serve needs, and handle information, and find resources with ease and efficiency only available with the sharing of data in real-time as provided by social media.
That was the beginning of something new for many groups which prior to Irene had always relied on this newspaper, word of mouth, and file cabinets for communication and data storage. Over the past two years nonprofits here and elsewhere in Vermont have struggled to get wired for the benefit of those they serve and to assist in the smooth operation of their organizations. Post-Irene they have realized the great wisdom of staying connected, but as non-digital natives (let's face it: our kids are the ones who really know this stuff) and limited budgets, getting the right fit has not been easy.
Enter The Vermont Digital Project in the person of Rob Fish and his talented crew of volunteers. In their own words: Created by Vermont Community Rural Development, with the goal of constructing more resilient communities after the 2011 floods, the Vermont Digital Economy Project is a continuation and expansion of the work performed by e-Vermont. This Project offers free support that will speed flood recovery, spur economic development and job growth, and improve community resilience to disasters. The project will deliver the following to small towns across Vermont: We will help non-profits work to improve performance, use the cloud, build or market online delivery of services, and develop disaster preparedness systems.
Rob, who graduated from UVM, is our digital super hero- I really think he has a cool cape somewhere — but his actual official moniker is Nonprofit Advisor and Community Organizer. He came to Woodstock through the request of Sustainable Woodstock, and will be available to organizations for a total of 18 months. The Norman Williams Library, Thompson Senior Center, Sustainable Woodstock and others have had helpful pow-wows with Rob.
His work with us has enabled The Food Shelf to get out of the digital weeds, and set up a terrific Web Page, as well as reformat our blog and a start a basic Facebook Page. He has established those subscriptions and contracts we need with providers who serve nonprofits, so our costs are minimal, which is a really big deal. The Ottauquechee Community Partnership worked with Rob back in the Spring. Their resulting connectivity has greatly improved their bottom line and now those savings go directly to programs for deserving youngsters "In addition, Rob built our capacity as an organization through giving us the skills to manage our own infrastructure. This investment in our community is considerable, since we make a little go a long way. Thank you Rob!" said OCPVT executive director Jacqueline Fischer.
We here at the Food Shelf echo Jacqueline's comments, and thank Rob and his techie volunteers for their invaluable and excellent help.

The East Rockaway Board of Education is in for a major shakeup after President Keith Gamache announced that he would not seek another term, while longtime Trustee Neil Schloth said he had not yet decided if he will run again on May 19.
At the end of the board's Feb. 11 meeting, Gamache informed attendees of his decision. "Two terms are ending this year. Mine is one of them, and I will not be running again for the board," he said, encouraging other candidates to run for his seat. "If anybody has questions about board experience and what it's like serving on the board, you can always contact me."
Gamache has served on the board for six years, and has been its president for the past two. Schloth, who has spent 12 years on the board, told the Herald that he was still deciding about another run. He said he was torn because he has a great deal of experience, having spent more than a decade advocating for students and parents, but he has also contemplated stepping aside so a parent with children in the district could have a voice. Schloth also noted that he was saddened by Gamache's decision not to run.
"I was very disappointed that Keith is stepping down," Schloth said. "He is a very dedicated and smart person."
During his six years as a board member, Gamache helped the district formulate its strategic plan, which focuses on achievements, opportunities, communication and technology. He also helped school administrators usher in the one-to-one tablet initiative as well as the district's science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, or STEAM, program. He also supported the high school's robotics club.
Gamache is one of 16 honorees set to reeive the Nassau BOCES Education Partner Award at a gala on March 31. The award recognizes individuals who have made a substantial impact on public education in Nassau County.
Gamache earned a bachelor's in education from New York University, a master's in fine arts from Johnson State College in Vermont and an administrative certificate from the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. He was raised in Massachusetts, but later moved to Long Island. He has been an art teacher at South Side High School in Rockville Centre for more than two decades.
He was not available to comment further.
Over his 12 years on the board, Schloth has worked to involve parents in their children's schools. He is also a volunteer firefighter with the East Rockaway Fire Department, and an active member of its fire prevention program, for which he visits schools to educate students about fire safety. He is also involved with St. Raymond's Parish, and works as a court clerk at Nassau County District Court.
Though Schloth and Gamache each ran unopposed and were re-elected to three-year terms in 2017, there have been two straight contested races in the years since, and three new faces have joined the five-member board in that time.
In 2018, Dom Vulpis defeated Theresa Devlin to win the vacated seat of John Giannotti Jr., who had served on the board since 2012. Vulpis left the district in June 2017 after serving more than two decades as its athletic director. He now works as the assistant to the executive director of Section VIII athletics in Garden City.
Last spring, Kristen O'Hagan and Peter McNally joined the board after defeating fellow challenger Devlin and incumbent Kristin Ochtera, who had served on the board for nine years before the election. There were three challengers in the race, because Trustee Patricia Nicoletti did not run for re-election and opted to retire. O'Hagan, a Malverne High School English teacher, and McNally, a technology teacher at Lynbrook North and South middle schools, ran jointly for the board and won.
In the May 19 election, voters will elect two candidates for three-year board terms, which will begin on July 1. Board candidates run at large. Petitions to run must be filed with district clerk Tina Fazi by April 20, and are available in her office. At press time, Fazi said, no petitions had been requested or submitted.
Gamache told attendees of the Feb. 11 meeting that he was pleased with all the board accomplished during his time on it. "It's been six wonderful years," he said, "and I thank everybody who's come here."

Mortgage rates rose today following the announcement and--more importantly--the Fed's updated economic projections. The Fed holds 8 meetings a year. They release an official policy announcement after all of those. Four of the meetings are "special" and are followed not only by a policy announcement, but also by updated economic projections from Fed members. These projections include an important "dot plot" of the Fed's rate hike expectations.
The so-called dots have been more important than the actual announcement on some occasions. While most of today's press coverage will focus on the fact that the Fed finally enacted its plan to shrink its balance sheet. That was widely expected, however. Investors weren't sure how the past few months of economic data and events would affect the rate hike outlook. As it turned out, the Fed is more optimistic than investors anticipated. That means they're more willing stick with the previous rate hike outlook for 2017 and 2018, and those rate hike expectations have a direct bearing on today's interest rates.
Conventional 30yr fixed rates didn't spike in any brutal sort of way, but given that the past 2 weeks have already seen a somewhat abrupt increase in rates, today still managed to be unpleasant. 4.0% is now the most prevalently-quoted conventional 30yr fixed rate on top tier scenarios. It had shared the stage with 3.875% roughly equally until today. That leaves today's rates at the highest levels in nearly 2 months.
Loan Originator Perspective
As most expected, the Fed today released the details for its upcoming balance sheet reduction. They didn't "raise rates" (increase their overnight rate), but the announcement confirmed the trend is NOT our friend. Floating here is risky or worse, think we'll see higher rates before lower ones. -Ted Rood, Senior Originator

Brothers and sisters: As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in
him, rooted in him and built upon him and established in the faith as
you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one
captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to the
tradition of men, according to the elemental powers of the world and
not according to Christ. For in him dwells the whole fullness of the
deity bodily, and you share in this fullness in him, who is the head of
every principality and power. In him you were also circumcised with a
circumcision not administered by hand, by stripping off the
carnal body, with the circumcision of Christ. You were buried with him
in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the
power of God, who raised him from the dead. And even when you were dead
in transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he brought you
to life along with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions;
obliterating the bond against us, with its legal claims, which was
opposed to us, he also removed it from our midst, nailing it to the
cross; despoiling the principalities and the powers, he made a public
spectacle of them, leading them away in
triumph by it.
Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in
prayer to God. When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and
from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles: Simon, whom he
named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a
Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a
traitor. And he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level
ground. A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people
from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon
came to hear him and to be healed of their
diseases; and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were
cured. Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him because power came
forth from him and healed them all.
In today's gospel, Jesus calls the Twelve Apostles. The men he chooses
do not come with impressive credentials, rather all are ordinary men.
Just imagine if Jesus is with us today and chose individuals whom we
hardly know or have an impressive resume. We can just imagine the
reactions of many if Jesus bypassed the cardinals, bishops, and the
most generous and popular politicians, in favor of simple folks, i.e.
fishermen, farmers, vendors, and even a BIR tax collector!
But that is what Jesus does when he selected the Twelve. He chose
twelve ordinary obscure men to be the foundation of the Church. One
was an unpopular tax collector who would eventually become one of the
four evangelists. One would become the first Pope. Each (except Judas
the traitor) would travel to the far corners of the Roman Empire to
introduce the Good News to Jews and Gentiles alike. From these men,
the Church would grow into millions of faithful from all over the
We therefore cannot excuse ourselves as being unqualified or too
obscure with our own mission as Christians. The responsibilities of
Christianity may indeed be formidable. But if the Apostles can
transform themselves from being ordinary individuals to become
dedicated missionaries who changes the course of history, then so can
St. Paul in his letter to the Colossians reminds us that we "were
buried with Him in baptism, in which [we] are also raised with Him
through faith in the power of God. And even when [we] were dead ... He
brought [us] to life along with Him." Christ chose us to be His
followers. But we are not alone. He is there with us all the way.
"Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
Inflame my heart with a burning love for you and with an expectant
faith in your saving power. Take my life and all that I have as an
offering of love for you, who are my All."
We pray ...
- for a deep and profound respect for life, especially for the
- for the victims of the hurricane Katrina.
- for the speedy recovery of Pacita Ocampo.
- for all the victims of hurricane Katrina.
- healings for Judy, Rich, Pat S, Melinda, Nathan, Mary, Anne, Von &
- for all the prayer intentions in the MTQ Dailyprayer Diary.
- Birthday: Jeremy Lim
- Birthday: Lily Sim

Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our
prayers and for those who need our prayers the most.

Easton dairy farm serves new function
One of the town's last two working dairy farms is now serving a new function: open space.
Randall's Farm Nature Preserve, a 34-acre expanse of meadows, wetlands and forests that is managed by local conservation group Aspetuck Land Trust, is now open to the public and features a number of trails for hiking, dog walking and other outdoor activities.
Princie Falkenhagen, president of the trust, said that the opening of the preserve was an important moment in the fight to preserve open space in the region.
"It goes towards preserving the rural and agrarian characteristics that Easton cares so much about," she said. "Now this vista will be here forever."
The property, located on Sport Hill Road in Easton, originally served as one of the last two working dairy farms in Easton, and many of the preserve's trails wind through the fields and pastures once used for grazing.
The land was donated to the trust late last year by Joan duPont of Southport, who purchased the property in 1983.
"At one point, there was some interest in building a town center here," said duPont, who grew up in Easton herself. "I'm much happier now that it's going to be kept as open space."
According to David Brant, executive director of the trust, Randall's Farm is a rare remaining example of the type of open space that was once common throughout the area.
"We don't have much land like this left in Fairfield County," he said. "We have a lot of woodlands, but not a lot of open space."
Bruce LePage, the former director of the trust, will serve as the preserve's steward, maintaining its pastures and trails. LePage called the preserve "truly unique" and said that the trust hoped to maintain the land in a way that would provide habitats for a number of species.
In addition to several types of birds, the pasture's wildflowers are expected to attract a variety of butterflies, and a small pond on the property is home to turtles during the summer months.
The preserve also welcomes domesticated animals. The preserve allows off-leash dog walking, a practice that has been temporarily banned in the popular Trout Brook Valley, another nearby Aspetuck preserve. Horseback riding will also be allowed, provided riders receive advance permission.
