Trust the Voice Within
Echo Bodine
I need your help. I want to start a movement and spread the word about Intuition. For me, intuition is that still small voice within each of us. It's the divine guidance that—as Edgar Cayce puts it—we don't necessarily get when we want it, but always when we need it. Intuition has always been one of my favorite topics to read about and teach. There's still a lot of confusion about what it is. Many psychics call themselves intuitives which has caused some confusion because people think that psychic abilities and intuition are the same, but they are very different. Having studied both for over 45 years, I would define intuition as a sense, a knowing, a hunch, a gut-feeling somewhere between the heart and stomach area that is 100% accurate.
Psychic abilities include clairvoyance—the gift of sight, clairaudience—the gift of hearing, and clairgustance—the gift of smell which are all located in the mind. The last one, clairsentience—the gift of sensing, is in the body. There's a subtle difference between the sensing in psychic abilities and knowing in intuition.
What I want to do with this movement is bring clarity to people so that they can learn to distinguish their Intuition from the other voices we carry inside such as our parents, teachers, society and significant others. These can sometimes fool us into thinking we are being guided by intuition, but the one key word that helps us distinguish between those voices and the still small voice within is should. Whenever we find ourselves making decisions based on should, we are not using intuition. Oftentimes, intuition is a calm knowing not based on fact or practicality; it can go against our logical mind and to make matters worse, it never explains why we are being guided to do something. We just need to trust that the outcome is perfect for us. That's the hard part for most people, trusting ourselves without following logic.
Edgar Cayce might define the "Intuitive Personality" as openness and trust in one's inner experience. Spontaneity, self-confidence, tolerance of ambiguity and doubt, and willingness to risk criticism.
Living the intuitive way is not easy but it's incredibly rewarding. Here's how it works: You ask a question. Focus your attention on the middle of yourself rather than your head over the next day or so. Pay attention to what you feel led to do. The voice is subtle and silent, so it's more of a knowing than an actual voice. Diving guidance feels like an invisible energy is pushing you in a certain direction, creating a desire within you.
You might be wondering where your mind fits into all of this and it's simple. Once we get the guidance from within, we take it to our mind to work it out. Here's a scenario to help you understand how this works: Let's say you are thinking of going on vacation to New Mexico or Sedona, Arizona, but aren't sure where you should go. First, ask your inner voice which place would be the best. You can ask out loud or write it in your journal. A day or two later, you may start to get a strong desire to see Sedona. Your head says, "yeah but, I really want to go to New Mexico," but the desire for Sedona gets stronger. New Mexico starts to fade and you get a strong gut feeling that Sedona is the perfect spot. That's when you take the answer to your mind and make this happen. Your brain goes into action, pulling all the pieces together and you end up having a perfect time. "
Your inner voice will also guide you to the perfect time to go on that vacation. Since the weather is no longer something we can count on to be normal anywhere in the world, always check with your inner voice on timing.
There isn't a question on Earth that your inner voice won't give you guidance for. That's the job of intuition: to guide us through our life for our highest good.
Echo Bodine was born with psychic abilities and the gift of healing, including clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience. A talented and experienced psychic development trainer, spiritual healer, and "ghostbuster," she is the author of Hands That Heal, which teaches others how to channel spiritual healing, and several books on psychic development including The Gift, The Key, and the forthcoming My Little Book of True Ghost Stories. Her book A Still Small Voice includes a much lengthier explanation of intuition and living this way of life. Echo has appeared on numerous television shows, including Sightings, Beyond with James Van Praagh, and The Today Show. She has hosted her own cable TV show, New Age Perspectives , and radio show, Intuitive Living. Paramount Pictures solicited her services for the promotion of the movie Ghost. She has just released her 10th book, My Big Book of Healing. Visit her Web site EchoBodine.com to learn more.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – The Penn Libraries have received $4.25 million for the renovation of the Rare Book & Manuscript Library (RBML) and the creation of a Special Collections Center. The donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a member of the Libraries' Board of Overseers. This is the largest gift to the Libraries from a living donor.
"Because of this gift, we will have a multi-purpose space in our Rare Book & Manuscript Library that is equal to the scholarship that our special collections inspire," said Penn President Amy Gutmann. "Students will now have a place where they can physically experience the past as part of their preparation for the future. We are thrilled and enormously grateful."
The gift will support the first phase of a $15 million expansion project whereby the colection, study, and curatorial facilities on the sixth floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center will be transformed into a new Special Collections Center. The redesigned Center will play to the strengths of the rare book library's teaching and digitization program. The Center will encourage the use of special collections in both research and in the curriculum; a fully equipped and staffed conservation suite will ensure continued effective stewardship of Penn's rare book and manuscript collections. The new design will also include much-needed additional classrooms, improved reader spaces, and a media lab. Its new consultation areas will foster interaction between curators and scholars.
The Rare Book Library's existing spaces, including its Furness Shakespeare Library are to be remodeled and improved. And the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text and Image will have an entirely new home, one that enables humanities researchers to create—and experiment with—a wide range of digital content.
The centerpiece of the Special Collections Center will be Penn's more than 250,000 rare books, representing subjects as diverse as Aristotle, the history of chemistry, Shakespearean and Renaissance literature, the 18th Century, the Spanish Inquisition, comic books and cookbooks, and the Gotham Book Mart Collection. In addition to 800 medieval manuscripts,notable manuscript collections include those of Theodore Dreiser, Lewis Mumford, Marian Anderson, Alma Mahler Werfel, Howard Fast, and, most recently, Chaim Potok, as well as the Lenkin Family Collection of Photography, which comprises nearly 4,000 historical photographs of the Holy Land taken between 1850 and 1947.
"This gift will energize fundraising efforts to reach our $15 million goal for the Special Collections Center," said Carton Rogers, Vice Provost and Director of Libraries. "It is a truly momentous gift for Penn and the Libraries."
The first phase of construction of the Penn Libraries' Special Collections Center will begin in late summer 2010.

I've been busy tidying up and publishing some of the plugins and extensions that I use across my sites. Most of the plugins are simple extensions for JomSocial that add a bit of extra functionality that is not included within the core but there are also a few for Hikashop and Virtuemart as well.
I still have some other extensions and components planned for release over the coming weeks / months and will release these as they are finalised and tested. Most are simple but there are also one or two fairly complex components that I may also decide to publish.
So far the following plugins are available for purchase within the webstore:

TAG Heuer Warranty
Discover the warranty policy covering your watch
A chronograph is a watch fitted with an additional function which can be used by operating the pushers (start/stop/reset) to measure continuous or interrupted periods of time.
All TAG Heuer chronographs, both quartz or automatic, share two basic functions:
Simple time measurement: This function measures any period of time from a few seconds to 12 hours, even fractions of seconds, depending on the model.
Additional time measurement: This function measures several consecutive times by adding them together to obtain a cumulative total.
TAG Heuer chronographs may include:
Tachymeter: Depending on the model, some TAG Heuer chronographs include a tachymeter scale on the dial flange. This indicates average speed over a given distance. Activate the chronograph at the start of the known distance, and then once you have reached the destination i.e. 1 mile/km, stop the chronograph. The second-hand points to your average speed on the tachymeter scale. This only works at speeds of over 60 m h/km h and for distances of 1 mile or 1 km.
Specificities for some mechanical chronographs
Oscillating pinion: Patented by Heuer in 1887, and still used today in the mechanical chronographs of most Swiss watch brands, the oscillating pinion comprises a moving rod and two pinions. This mechanism improves upon the old two-wheel system, allowing the chronograph to function more efficiently, and ensuring the instantaneous start of the chronograph. When the chronograph is not in use, it isn't connected to the movement, once the chronograph is engaged the power from the gear train turns the oscillating pinion, connecting the chronograph to the movement's power reserve, and starting the chronograph.
If you have a watch that has two separate power reserves, i.e. one for the movement, and one for the chronograph, then the oscillating pinion is not required, as it does not need to be connected to the movement.
Column wheel: The column wheel smoothly and precisely coordinates the start, stop, and return-to-zero functions of the chronograph.
Troubleshooting your chronograph:
This movement requires a certain amount of play in the wheels. In order to regulate the timekeeping, the hand sometimes jumps very minimally and at a very high speed. This gives the impression that it is stuttering as the hand moves round. The performance of the watch is not affected, ensuring its precise timing capabilities.
There is a risk to the water-resistance of your timepiece if the push buttons are manipulated incorrectly. So we highly recommend that when in contact with water, avoid using the buttons, and make sure that your crown is correctly screwed in, or in the neutral position (depending on model).

Hardware Today: HP Server Snapshot
For the past three years, HP has been the leader of the pack in terms of worldwide server shipments. Its strategy now is to maintain its position with the addition of greater manageability and virtualization features as well as the streamlining of its many product lines under fewer umbrellas. The winning brands are ProLiant, Integrity and NonStop; the casualties are AlphaServer and HP 9000. The latter products are at the end of their respective lives and are being folded into the 64-bit Integrity line.HP continues to streamline its server lines, consigning the HP 9000 and AlphaServers to history in favor of a future filled with ProLiant, Integrity, and NonStop servers.
"We are moving away from proprietary to standards-based servers based upon ProLiant, Integrity and NonStop," said Kate O'Neill, enterprise and storage servers portfolio manager at HP. "This simplifies things for our customers and frees them from the burden of additional personnel and services costs."
Recent Server Snapshots
HPC Market
By far, HP's strongest server line is the ProLiant. According to IDC, it dominates the x86 market and brings in nearly one third of the revenue. In 2004, the company increased its shipments by 19.1 percent and revenue by 13.8 percent year-over-year.
Recent enhancements to the many faces of ProLiant are numerous. The grid below highlights the server line and links to the details. As would be expected, the changes center around the latest Celeron and Pentium 4 processors, PCI-Express, more cache, and greater manageability. For example, a 2.8-GHz Celeron or Pentium 4 3.2-GHz processor, PCI-Express support, and a remote management card have been added to the ProLiant ML110 G2 server. The ProLiant DL320 G3 is a 1U server that now includes a Celeron 2.93-GHz or up to a Pentium 4 3.6-GHz processor with 1 MB of L2 cache and two PCI-X slots.

To be eligible to receive a graduate assistant appointment, you must be admitted into a graduate degree program. Non-degree students, or those working towards certification without a degree, are not eligible. Provisionally-admitted students are not permitted to work as graduate assistants during the provisional semester.
Graduate assistants must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative QPA and must not have earned more than two grades of "C" or lower in any course taken while a graduate student.
Students may not hold graduate assistant positions for more than 2 years, defined for this purpose as 4 regular semesters and 1 summer session. Students in degree programs that require more than 33 credits may hold positions for more than 2 years.
Students may not be appointed as graduate assistants while working towards their second Shippensburg University master's degree.
Part-time assistantship status may be available for the fall and spring semesters for students enrolled in 6, 7, or 8 graduate credits. This status must be pre-approved. Contact the Graduate Office at (717) 477-1148 for more information.
Exceptions to these eligibility requirements may only be made upon written recommendation of the student's academic department, endorsed by the student's college dean, and with the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies.
To be eligible to receive an SPP appointment, an individual must be a student at Ship. Priority will be given to graduate students.
Application Procedures
Apply for open positions as soon as they are listed online. Applications will be accepted and appointments may be made through the end of the sixth week of the semester as long as there is a position vacant (see also Late Appointments section).
Appointment Process
Lists of available graduate assistantships and student payroll positions are available online. You may wish to contact some of these departments directly to express interest in their positions. You should also work with your academic department to identify potential positions.
Departments that hire students will review the applications that have been submitted and consult with academic departments to identify candidates. They may contact you and conduct an interview before making a final decision. If you are selected, the department will make a verbal offer and ask for your acceptance before making the formal recommendation for appointment.
After the appointment is submitted online by the department, the Office of Graduate Studies will verify your eligibility and then send an official letter of appointment. You will then be required to sign a memorandum of understanding and return it to the Office of Graduate Studies. If you have not worked for the university before, you will need to fill out appropriate payroll forms.
Tuition Waiver
When an appointment is formally made, the Student Accounts Office will be notified and instructed to process a tuition waiver or a refund if you have already paid tuition. Graduate assistants are responsible for all fees, including late registration, health services, educational services, student union, and graduation. Please note: students in SPPs do not receive tuition waivers as part of the position remuneration.
Academic Load
During the academic year, all full-time graduate assistants must register for and complete 9 credit hours of graduate course work each semester. Students may be eligible for part-time GA status when requested in advance by contacting their GA supervisor and the Graduate Dean's Office. During the summer sessions, all graduate assistants must register for and complete a total of 3 credit hours of graduate course work during any of the summer sessions.
Work and Compensation
Students are compensated for the work they do on an hourly basis. The hourly scale is determined by the Vice President for Administration and Finance.
During each semester, students are required to work 250 hours (approximately 15 hours per week). During the summer, students are required to work 150 hours.
Graduate assistants must work at least 90% of the required hours in order to qualify for the tuition waiver. Assistants working less than this amount will be required to pay for a portion of tuition on the following schedule:
- 80% - 89% hours worked, 10% of tuition repaid
- 70% - 79% hours, 20% tuition
- 60% - 69% hours, 30% tuition
- 50% - 59% hours, 40% tuition
- Less than 50% hours worked, 50% of tuition
Employee Benefits
With the exception of the tuition waiver and compensation for work performed (including social security and workers' compensation payments), students do not receive any of the benefits provided to regular university employees. Students do not receive health benefits, sick leave, or any paid holidays or vacations, and they are not eligible for "STAFF" parking stickers for their vehicles.
Late Appointments
Students may be appointed through the end of the sixth week of a semester. Up to the end of the first week of classes, you will receive the full tuition waiver as long as you work the required number of hours.
After the first week of classes, the tuition waiver will be prorated based on the following schedule:
- Through the end of the second week, 90%
- Third week, 80%
- Fourth week, 70%
- Fifth week, 60%
- Sixth week, 50%.
Students accepting a late appointment may work the full number of hours. The number of hours required (see Work and Compensation section above), however, will be based on the percentage of tuition received times the full number of hours. For example, a student who accepts a position during the third week of the semester will be required to work 200 hours, or 80% times 250 hours.
Students accepting an assistantship after the drop/add period must be registered for the appropriate number of credit hours (see Academic Load section above).
Changing an Appointment
If you would like to resign from one assistant position in order to accept a different one, you must have written permission from the department you originally accepted. If the department chooses not to give this permission, you may not accept the other appointment. You may not circumvent this requirement by resigning from one position and then accepting another appointment.
To give permission to change positions, the department that made the original appointment should send written authorization to the Office of Graduate Studies.
Resignation or Dismissal
Students may resign from their positions during the course of a semester. Any hours worked prior to resignation must be recorded on the student payroll and paid to the student.
Graduate assistants who resign will have their tuition waiver prorated based on the number of hours actually worked. For example, if a graduate assistant works 50 hours and then resigns, only 20% (50/250) of the tuition will be waived. The student will then be billed for the remaining 80%. Students who withdraw from classes and no longer meet the academic load requirements will be dismissed from their assistantships. Compensation and tuition waiver policies are the same as those for a resignation.
At the discretion of the department chair or other authorized individual, a student may be dismissed from his or her position. The chair must notify the student and the Dean of Graduate Studies in writing of the decision and the reasons for it. Compensation and tuition waiver policies are the same as those for a resignation.
Please contact the Graduate Office if you have any questions at (717) 477-1148 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

By Kristin Lord and Paul J. Saunders, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Kristin Lord is executive vice president of the U.S. Institute of Peace. Paul J. Saunders is executive director of the Center for the National Interest and served as Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs in the George W. Bush Administration. The views expressed are their own.
So far, the twenty-first century has been a frustrating one for Americans. The United States has extraordinary military might and technological prowess, which it uses to protect itself, its allies and its partners. Yet, for many here and around the world, the ways in which America exercises this power – revealed in part by Edward Snowden's one-man crusade against the National Security Agency – have contributed to searching questions about the United States' future and its international role. Such questions have begun to undermine America's moral authority – and U.S. leaders ignore them at their peril.
The United States is not just a great power, but an idea. Americans like it that way and we are justifiably proud of an exceptional if complex history. Particularly during the twentieth century, moral authority became one of our nation's most important strategic advantages, a source of strength that pulled allies closer and proved difficult for adversaries to challenge. The value of this strategic advantage endures today. Losing it could do more to harm American power than any realistic military or economic threat on the horizon-and regaining it could take decades.
U.S. moral authority has suffered real damage over the last two decades. There are many reasons for this, ranging from well-intended military interventions that have produced mixed results, to perceptions that the United States has applied human rights standards inconsistently, allegations of torture and other abuses like those at Abu Ghraib, a major financial crisis, and apparent political dysfunction within our own borders.
Some of the change in global attitudes toward the United States is inevitable in the post-Cold War information age – social media, 24 hour media cycles, and the rise of entertainment news expose (and sometimes overblow) every misstep. Meanwhile, the existential confrontation between democratic capitalism and communism (never actually that simple) has ended and a decade has passed since the 9/11 attacks. Though a wide range of threats still loom, few appear existential, raising new questions about whether America can continue to justify what many consider extraordinary means.
The reality is that U.S. actions, like recently revealed Internet and telecommunications monitoring, do influence how others view us and the potential reaction to U.S. policy decisions should weigh heavily as U.S. leaders consider their options. Even U.S. allies and friends like Germany, France and Brazil have objected forcefully to the scope of National Security Agency intelligence gathering operations as well as some prominent targets. It is unclear what intelligence would justify offending an important ally like German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who called President Obama to complain that her cellphone was monitored.
More from GPS: Intelligence oversight situation unacceptable
Indeed, this episode could have serious practical consequences if U.S. friends limit future cooperation or impose stringent privacy restrictions on American firms to satisfy angry populations. It may also undermine counter-terrorism cooperation and standards of openness on the Internet. Within the International Telecommunications Union, a U.N. body that facilitates international cooperation on information and communications technologies, a network of authoritarian governments and developing nations persists in challenging the U.S.-supported institutions that establish norms and practices for the Internet. This movement has in its sights the open Internet that promotes commerce and allows dissidents to remain anonymous. Will the United States be able to credibly defend these standards as its security agencies monitor millions of people around the globe?
Most dangerous of all, however, may be the growing perception – one that spans the ideological spectrum – that the United States shows too little concern for international rules and norms. Many are especially troubled by the U.S. use of force, whether on a large scale or in unilateral, low-level drone attacks, as well as by the monitoring and intelligence gathering from even our closest allies. This perception undermines a central goal of American foreign policy for much of the last century: developing a rule-based international system that advances U.S. interests, promotes peace and prosperity, and sustains American global leadership.
More from CNN: Don't underestimate risks of government spying
Vital American national interests may require the United States to go its own way at times and ignore global opinion more frequently. The United States must do what is necessary to protect its most important interests. But creating the impression that U.S. leaders have a casual disregard for international rules and norms undermines American leadership, which is ultimately founded upon our ability to solve common problems-not our skill in looking after ourselves. This is a central reason that governments like those in China or Russia can often challenge U.S. leadership but are unlikely to supplant it.
With this in mind, strengthening America's moral authority should be an important goal of U.S. foreign policy, and it must be attempted honestly and seriously if it is to succeed. Moral authority is not a product of pious pronouncements or noble intent. Nor is it earned through moral-sounding policies that fail to deliver moral results. On the contrary, we can earn moral authority only by delivering demonstrably moral outcomes, abroad and at home.
Two gifted orators, Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, have referred to the power of America's moral authority in describing the United States as a "shining city on a hill." The challenge is to more consistently match word with deed, something that requires being more deliberate about what we do as well as what we say.
Restoring the power of the American example will be no easy task – balancing immediate national security concerns, like transnational terrorism and cyber threats, with America's overarching reputation and values, is simply hard to do. But it might prove easier if American leaders remember that these values are fundamental to American power.

Anyway, two medical ethicists examine the topic. Anna Smajdor concludes:
Irwin spent much of his life bringing to a wider public a vision of "nature red in tooth and claw", no fluffy bunnies or cute kittens here. His programmes were not for the squeamish, but portrayed wild animals capable of killing a man.Daniel Sokol disagrees, even though Irwin himself once said, "If I'm going to die, at least I want it filmed."
The footage of Irwin's death is his ultimate message to us of the ruthlessness and power that we admire and fear in nature.
Should you, the viewer, watch the footage?And remember, you can't unwatch it. Once the real image is in your head -- replacing the fuzzy visualization you have now -- it will always be there. Maybe you've yielded and watched some gruesome video on the web -- perhaps a beheading. I haven't, partly because I've never gotten over what I was raised to believe, that it is wrong to go looking out of curiosity, but also because I want to protect myself from the lingering image.
The answer depends on your motives. Are you a marine biologist or ethologist (someone who studies animal behaviour) eager to understand the defensive behaviour of a frightened stingray? Are you a cardiologist or toxicologist interested in aspects of the injury itself?
Before watching the footage, we should ask ourselves: why do I want to watch this? I suspect many people would answer "for entertainment" or "out of curiosity"
It may well harm the watcher, whose humanity and moral sensibility will suffer.
I should add that I've changed my view about averting your eyes from something you're seeing that you haven't sought out. I greatly admire people -- like doctors and nurses -- who have work to do and deal with what they need to see to do it. And I think squeamishness is a childish character flaw that should be overcome.

Open Data and Data Management - Issues and Challenges
SCNAT Workshop for Swiss stakeholders
VeranstaltungsortKaserne Bern
Papiermühlestrasse 15
The SCNAT is organizing this one day event in Bern, with the aim to give the research community the chance to raise their concern and also the SNF and the European Commission to present their view and to inform about recent trends. The workshop should provide recommendations on how to implement the open data requirements.
In recent years a number of changes in scientific research took place, under the umbrella of the 'open science' label. Open access has essentially been introduced, and researchers from the sciences took the lead when introducing the preprint arXiv many years ago. Many researchers followed the path of open source by making their simulation codes publicly available. Presently the introduction of open data (and open data management plans) are on the horizon (or already introduced) by many European Funding Agencies.
However, the concept of 'Open Data' is also widely debated. While in certain fields the full disclosure of research data is suitable and straightforward, and happens thus naturally, in others it can become a burden and possibly affect research productivity. Its implementation leads to the following questions:
Can data of very diverse fields, from biology, chemistry, pharmacy, physics, geology, meteorology, material science, particle physics, mathematics, astronomy, etc. be treated in the same way?
How should one deal with data that are subject to competition with research groups from other (non-European) countries where other rules are in place?
What kind/level of data products must be disclosed?
How large is the effort to disclose the data in a useful way and are there enough resources?

Separate fires in Surrey over the weekend damaged a mill and a motel that had been shut down after being cited for fire hazards.
Fraserview Cedar Products Ltd., a wood products manufacturing plant at 6630 144th St., was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived around 1 a.m.
Surrey RCMP Staff Sgt. Warren Tyson said early reports suggest the fire was caused by an electrical problem. Fraserview Cedar Products is a manufacturer of Western Red Cedar lumber products.
Brian Woznikoski, a Surrey assistant fire chief, said the fire caused severe damage to the structure and there was concern it might collapse. He said the investigation could take up to a week to complete.
The second major fire broke out at the Motel Bollywood on King George Boulevard at around 7 a.m. Saturday. Tyson said investigators believe that fire may have been accidental. "We found evidence that squatters may have lived in there, and it looks like the fire originated in one of the rooms where the one of the squatters was living."
He said the damage was contained to four rooms.
Tyson said the motel was shut down in October because of infractions of city bylaws and fire hazards, the Surrey Leader newspaper reported at the time.

Ministers leaving an emergency cabinet meeting Sunday delivered a show of support for Premier Christy Clark, who is refusing to bow to increasing pressure for her resignation from members of her B.C. Liberal party over the ethnic voter scandal.
And the ministers said they are confident an investigation into how the controversial ethnic voter strategy came to be produced will determine who was at fault.
"We're as unified as we ever have been. The NDP are going to lose the election in May and we're going into it with Christy Clark — that's all you need to know," deputy premier Rich Coleman told journalists after the meeting, which lasted nearly three hours.
Coleman said calls for the premier's resignation come from a party group that "had been dissident for some time and this is nothing new."
"We'll move forward with the 90,000 members we have in our party supporting us and we'll win the election," he said.
Clark told reporters both her cabinet and caucus remain united behind her election campaign.
"I thought I answered that question," said Clark when asked if she considered quitting.
"I sincerely apologize for the language that was used in that (memo), it's language that just isn't worth repeating ... the right thing to do is to own up to it and make it right."
She said she would comment later about whether her government would go ahead with a planned apology for the Chinese head tax. A similar apology — the federal Conservative government's 2008 apology for the 1914 Komagata Maru incident in Vancouver's harbour — was touted as an example of a "quick win" among ethnic voters in the leaked strategy.
Almost 380 people from India were denied entry to Canada and their ship stayed harboured in Vancouver for months before returning to India with most of its passengers. Upon arrival in India, a riot erupted and 22 passengers died.
A spokesman in Clark's office said Sunday the cabinet meeting was a "chance to plan for the week ahead."
But party insiders told The Vancouver Sun the meeting was called on short notice to deal with internal unrest over how Clark has reacted to the scandal that erupted Wednesday. That's when the NDP leaked the memo that set out a strategy for the Liberals to use government resources to help the party woo ethnic voters in the coming election. Use of taxpayer funds for political purposes is forbidden.
Transportation Minister Mary Polak told reporters outside Canada Place the meeting was only being framed as an emergency by the media.
"With the action that she's taken, I can't see what else she could do to correct the situation," said Polak, in a reference to the resignation of Clark deputy chief of staff, Kim Haakstad.
Environment Minister Terry Lake called Clark "the hardest-working person I know."
"No one is perfect, no government is perfect, we certainly don't claim to be perfect," he said.
The comments came shortly after a group of 89 mostly Indo-Canadian members of the B.C. Liberals called for Clark's resignation in a news release Sunday, saying she had made "the ethnic vote a joke in B.C."
At issue for the group was Clark's decision to spend taxpayer dollars on the Times of India Film Awards, "which has no relevance in B.C. economy, culture or adaptation."
Vikram Bajwa, a former Surrey mayoral candidate and spokesman for the group, said the party members "strongly feel" Clark's decision to bid for the Times of India awards was an extension the Liberals' strategy to woo ethnic voters in advance of the May election.
The awards, which recognize popular Bollywood films, will cost B.C. taxpayers about $11 million.
They are to be held in Vancouver April 4 to 6. Bajwa said contacts in India have told him Clark wanted to bid for the Times of India event rather than the competing International Indian Film Awards — a more established event equivalent to the Academy Awards — because the latter would be held in June, after the provincial election.
"We felt as Liberal members that this is going to backlash on our Indo-Canadian community during the run-up to and after the election."
Bajwa said there are about 10 seats in Surrey and Richmond that will be decided by ethnic voters and Indo-Canadian Liberal candidates feel they could lose over the issue.
The resignation of Haakstad is not enough, Bajwa said. "We have to be very blunt that the buck doesn't stop with Kim (Haakstad). Premier Christy Clark ... is the only elected official, she's the premier who made the deal in Bombay for the Times of India Awards. She should be coming forward and show some leadership qualities and resign," he said.
Failure on Clark's part to do so would be "handing the B.C. government to the NDP on a silver platter," he said.
Bajwa added hundreds of Liberal party members in Surrey met at Sikh temples around the city Sunday to discuss the scandal, which has precipitated four high-profile departures from Surrey riding associations.
The Guru Nanak gurudwara issues a statement late Sunday denying that any such meetings took place at its facilities. Temple officials spoke with counterparts across the Lower Mainland, who were also unaware of any such meetings.
Clark will face her entire caucus Monday in what is expected to be a showdown between supporters and MLA's upset with her handling of the situation.
Liberal caucus chair Gordie Hogg spoke about the meeting only in general terms.
"People will be able to get together to express concerns and opinions and get a better grasp of what's going on, and to get all the information we can," he said. He would not speculate about what topics would be discussed or the likelihood of further calls for Clark's resignation from MLA ranks.
A review looking into the circumstances around government's bid for the Times of India Film Awards is underway, he added.
"After that we will have a chance to work from a position of understanding rather than assumption."
But there are indications Clark could face a harsh crowd Monday. At least one Liberal MLA, Dave Hayer, an Indo-Canadian, condemned the ethnic voter plan Friday and sources say many in both Clark's cabinet and caucus feel the premier should be taking more responsibility, and should be showing more contrition over the issue.
New Democratic Party house leader John Horgan said Clark's government is "clearly in crisis."
References to "quick wins" and blockbuster events outlined in the Liberal memo suggest the Times of India Awards are in fact a part of the party's strategy to win over South Asian voters, he added.
"They've been working on this multicultural voting plan for over a year and it's manifested itself in the most grotesque way, in the $11-million purchase of an awards show just in time for the election campaign."
Horgan said the NDP would be asking the Liberals to explain "why it is they chose to create an awards show and stage it in the days before the election begins," in the legislature Monday.
But one prominent political veteran and Chinese community leader said he thinks Clark and the Liberals can bounce back, if they admit fault.
"It really depends on how the party handles it," Tung Chan, past president of S.U.C.C.E.S.S. immigrant services society and Vancouver's Non-Partisan Association, said Sunday. If the party pulls together and issues an apology, the Liberals may successfully quell the brewing unrest, he said.
There is nothing wrong with the party's strategy to appeal to ethnic voters as long as they don't use government funds, Chan added, noting he has made many calls for the provincial government to pay more attention to "communities of interest" over the course of his career. The New Democratic Party and the B.C. Conservatives likely have similar plans to appeal to ethnic voters, he added.
"The way I look at it, no political party worth its salt would not have segmentation of campaign strategies — it doesn't matter whether it's communities based on geography or demographics or based on gender or sexual orientation. Every party has some sort of strategy to outreach."
Of concern is that the Liberals appear to have planned to use government funds and civil servants to implement the initiative. Chan added there has been no evidence to suggest that plan had been put into action.
"Having run campaigns and having seen other people run campaigns, that sort of line is always blurred. People need to keep an eye out (for it)," he said. "People are right to be indignant about it."

text: Illusion is a timeless statement of beauty, simplicity and functionality. As with so many great designs, inspiration is often derived from a story: "One day I was passing a CafŽ in Copenhagen. There were round tables with white tablecloths. Each cloth was square and almost touched the floor. I stopped and took couple photos. I then went to a plastic workshop, showed them the image and asked if it was possible to make such an object in plastic. The answer was no. But I continued my quest and after a few months some samples were ready. The result was Illusion, a stunning example of Symbolic Functionalism that has received an extremely enthusiastic reception from both the press and consumers." John Brauer, designer All Illusion tables are hand made and thus are slightly unique.Ê

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and Coast Path
The Pembrokeshire Coast is Britain's only predominantly sea-based national park, hugging the rippled coast around the entire southwestern section of Wales. Established in 1952, the park is not one easily identifiable mass, rather a series of occasionally unconnected coastal and inland scenic patches.
Crawling around almost every wriggle of the coastline, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path winds 186 miles from Amroth, just east of Tenby, to its northern terminus at St Dogmael's near Cardigan. For the vast majority of the way, the path clings precariously to cliff-top routes, overlooking seal-basking rocks, craggy offshore islands, unexpected gashes of sand and shrieking clouds of seabirds. The most popular and ruggedly inspiring segments of the coast path are the stretch along the southern coast from the castle at Manorbier to the tiny cliff chapel at Bosherston; either side of St Bride's Bay, around St David's Head and the Marloes Peninsula; and the generally quieter northern coast either side of Fishguard, past undulating contours, massive cliffs, bays and old ports.
Spring is perhaps the finest season for walking: the crowds are yet to arrive and the cliff-top flora is at its most vivid. The best of the numerous publications available about the coast path is Brian John's National Trail Guide, which includes 1:25,000 maps of the route.

Take a bird's-eye view. See how each filter would affect your photo in a single grid view, or swipe through looks to compare your options.
Frame the action. Crop and pinch to zoom in order to focus attention.
Auto-enhance. Make your photos pop with balanced light and colors by tapping the wand.
In June, 2011, we introduced the ability to attach a photo to your Tweet, a first step toward improving the entire photo experience on Twitter. Since then we've been making it easier and faster to share and discover and enjoy great photos on Twitter every day:
- You can expand Tweets to view photos from various photo services right on Twitter;
- You can preview photos directly in Discover and search;
- You can quickly swipe through images on Twitter with photo streams in profiles and search results.

Guatemala - Medical & Dental Relief
December 26, 2020 - January 2, 2021
Join For As Little As: 3,100*
$3,100 - No discounts or rebates
- See More Info below for full details and additional options for travel
About The Mission TripImagine waking up surrounded by 3 volcanoes with the smell of pan (bread) baking in old ovens and the song of the local birds as they welcome the sunrise. If that's what you are imagining, you must be in La Antigua, a small city in south central Guatemala known for its colonial and Spanish baroque architecture, active and dormant volcanoes, multicolored buildings, secret doorways and warm people. It has also been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is where you will be based during the week as you travel out to areas where medical care is scarce and dental care is almost non-existent. Please join us as we care for the people of Antigua, many of whom suffered greatly during the 2018 volcanic eruptions that left many families without their loved ones and villages covered in ash.
About ClinicClinics will take place in the beautiful valleys around La Antigua and in schools and orphanages near the city. Many of your patients will come from the indigenous tribes in the areas; others will have been greatly affected by the most volcano and those in the not so distant past. This area has seen great hardship and great loss and your team will make a tremendous difference in your patient's life. You will have the opportunity to provide medical care, dental care, and health and hygiene education to hundreds of patients during the week - are you up for the challenge? Your reward will be the hugs and laughter of the children and the shy smiles of their parents as they thank you for caring enough to help their families.
Transportation & LodgingThe team will be staying in a simple, safe, clean and friendly hotel located in this beautiful city where you can enjoy the local food, music, and an array of shops. Tour the Chocolate Museum, where you will learn how to make chocolate from the bean! Everything is within walking distance and the city is full of color, wonderful smells, and amazing food. . The culture of Guatemala will come alive as you explore the city after clinic and during your day off.
Upon your arrival in Antigua, all transportation to clinic has been arranged for you. Professional drivers, safe vehicles, and security are some of the many reasons to join IMR on a trip. Don't nap - there's a lot to see in the valleys and hills surrounding your home away from home this week!
Trip HighlightsFamilies are the most important patients you will see and in Guatemala, you will see a lot of families. Everyone wants you to help them keep their children healthy and their elders comfortable. It is our patients - and there are a lot of them! - that are the highlight of this trip.
You will have a free day to explore Antigua with its quaint cobblestone streets and colorful colonial architecture. Salsa dancing on your list? Try it out! Always wanted to hike a volcano? Do it here! Always wanted to be a chocolatier? Visit the famous chocolate factory! Enjoy your day - make it your own!
Extend Your StayYou're journeying halfway across the globe, have you considered extending your stay to visit some of Guatemala's top spots? Join International Medical Relief on an exclusive trip extension provided by our partner, Worldwide Navigators!

IMR teams provide medical and dental care and community health education to communities that lack access to care. A typical IMR team consists of doctors, dentists, and advanced practice providers, nurses, EMTs, medical/dental/nursing students, pre-med students, and non-medical volunteers. The team makeup for your trip is not guaranteed to be as described above and is dependent on the individual volunteers who make up your team. The team usually stays in a central location and travels each day to a different community to set up a mobile medical and dental clinic. In order to promote lasting and sustainable improvements in the health of those communities, IMR conducts an extensive community health education program, teaching about prevention and treatment in small groups and during individual consultations with providers. No matter what your specialty or skill level, there is a job for you on an IMR trip!

Trip Preparation
A service that we are very proud of at IMR is the preparation that each team and team member receives prior to the trip. This is one of the most important reasons that you should join an IMR team.
All team members have access to the IMR Volunteer Resources page where you may view and download important conference calls, a detailed briefing packet outlining the important elements that make a successful trip, packing lists, a checklist to keep you on track, and much more. You will find detailed information on how clinic operates, the roles on an IMR team, community health education topics, fundraising tips, and all of the materials our licensed providers need including best practices for providing care in short term medical clinics, public health information specific to the country you are traveling too, and a guide to the infectious diseases of that country. You will also find a comprehensive country briefing packet that provides background information, cultural etiquette, common phrases, and links to additional information from a variety of sources on your volunteer resources page. Finally, a departure packet that outlines how and where to meet your team will be sent just prior to departure and can be downloaded from the volunteer resources page.
IMR applicants and team members are also able to join in two informational calls: About IMR and How Clinic Operates/Provider Guidelines. A Q and A call just prior to departure helps to ensure that you have the most important information and are ready to go! If you can't join our live calls, you can listen at any time via your Volunteer Resources page. Your team's departure call will be recorded by and sent by email to the team immediately following the call.
All of our volunteers have access to a personal IMR fundraising page with a unique URL that can be emailed and shared with family, friends, business associates, and other potential donors.
Did you know you can earn CME credits on line with IMR? www.cmeonline.net will get you to 6 1 hour courses containing great tips for treating a variety of conditions in the field including wounds, hypertension, dengue fever, and more.
