Hundreds of Islamic fighters who are adherents to the Wahhabi tradition, and who fought alongside Bosnian Muslim forces during the war, remained in the country – with many marrying local women and establishing Islamic organizations. Foreign Islamic fighters are important but not only one segment of Radical Islamist PUZLE in Bosnia.
The key elements of an Islamic Radicalization process according to the Bosnian experience is as follows: 1. Presence of mujaheddin; 2. Presence of so-called "humanitarian organizations"; 3. Presence of state sponsors of terrorism; 4. Presence of terrorist organizations; 5. Manipulation of religion to terrorist purposes.
Fast Islamic radicalization transformed nature of the threats from an external to an internal threat, which has entailed a shift in counter-terrorism practices from a military to a judicial response. Do we call today terrorism and terrorist by their real names? Well trained military units and formations of Islamic Radicals we call today terrorists instead for example Army of Jihad etc. Fast or slow Islamic Radicalization of existing Muslim population results with "new motivation" and with "new goals" as it is described by notorious Al Qaeda 2010 Plan. The threats become more than visible now within the state borders even with expression that "War is somewhere far away". Bosnian example show how fast radicalization look like in the face of the place. Key factor of Islamic Radicalization in Bosnia are Wahabbi. Wahabbi ideology is relatively new in Europe and was brought to Bosnia by foreign Muslim fighters or Mujaheddin who fought on the side of local Muslims in the country's bloody 1992-1995 war. Many Mujaheddin acquired Bosnian citizenship and remained in the country after the war, operating terrorist training camps in Bosnia and indoctrinating local youths. The police was doing its work, but there is "no political will to do more". Bosnia state security agency OSA director Almir Dzuvo, said that there are more than 3000 potentially dangerous individuals related to international terrorism [1] and that most of the potential terrorists were local people known to police, while only three percent were foreigners; Dzuvo said most potential terrorists were followers of the fundamentalist Salafite Islamic movement, also known as Wahabism, which originated in Saudi Arabia. Last several years Islamic Radicalization of existing Muslim population turns from an ideology to the serial of violent attack all around the Bosnia.
From light to heavy crimes.
From Crimes Against Public Order and Safety to the Terrorism and Murders. Creation of so called Sharia (Wahabbi) Police is nothing new in Bosnia, unfortunately. Recently (2009) members of Sharia Police were openly attacking couples in love and insisting on Bosnian Muslim girls and women being covered, according to the Islamic rules and traditions. So, from so called "light" crime against public order and safety to the very heavy crimes as follow[2]:
1. "An operation codenamed "the Light" that involves all police forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia's law enforcement and various other agencies officers launched on February 2010 a major raid on the village of Gornja Maoca which is claimed to be a home to followers of the "radical Wahabbi" branch of Islam, targeting people whom authorities "suspect of destabilizing the country". The operation in northern Bosnia by 600 police officers is the largest since the end of the country's 1992-95 war. The activities are carried out with an aim to locate and prosecute individuals suspected of undermining the territorial integrity and constitutional order and inciting ethnic, racial or religious hatred and intolerance. Some foreign Islamic fighters or Mujaheddin, who stayed on after fighting alongside Bosnian Muslims against Serbs and Croats in the war, formed their own community in the village. They were joined by some local followers of the "Wahabbi" branch. On the end of 2009 a Bosnian court indicted a group of radical Muslims on charges of "terrorism" and arms trafficking. It said they purchased and possessed weapons, explosives and various products suitable for making improvised explosive devices. Police also found video recordings of people being trained in the use of arms and combat activities to carry out an attack[3].
2. Bugojno attack. Haris Čaušević from Bugojno, commonly known as "Oks," confessed to having detonated a bomb that damaged the Bugojno police station June 27, 2010. While attempting to escape, he also threw a grenade at police officers. The powerful bomb, hidden in a car parked just in front of the station, exploded at dawn, causing considerable destruction. Officer Tarik Ljubuškić (41) died at the scene, and Officer Edina Hindić (26) was severely injured. Four other police sustained non-life threatening injuries. Local media speculated that the bombing was the work of organized crime, but subsequent investigation points toward the radical Wahhabi movement. Later that day, Federal police arrested six suspects and detained a seventh – Naser Palislamovic – two days later in Sarajevo. Police now believe Palislamovic organized the attack. All the suspects are members of the radical Wahhabi movement – a Saudi-based and financed order following a strict interpretation of Islam – while most of them are already known to security agencies for their militant and intolerant behavior[4].
3. Bosnia Shopping Centre Blast. One man was killed (mall's security guard) and three people injured when an explosive device went off in a shopping centre in the central Bosnian town of Vitez, October 10, 2008. Explosive device was thrown or it was placed there before and then activated[5].
4. Funeral of former Wahhabi leader Jusuf Barcic[6]. Over 3000 followers of the radical Wahhabi current of Islam had come to the northeast Bosnian town of Tuzla (May, 2007) to bury their leader Jusuf Barcic, who had recently died in a traffic accident. The coffin in front of the mosque was draped in a green cloth. Men with long beards chanted "Allahu Akbar": "God is great." As press photographers tried to photograph the scene, they were first cursed and then beaten.
Religious fundamentalism is on the rise in Bosnia-Herzegovina. There had not previously been any mass demonstration of this size. But the local media have for some time now noted a marked increase in the activities of the Wahhabi sect, which counts al-Qaida founder Osama Bin Laden among its adherents.
5. Careva (Emperor) mosque incident[7]. Jusuf Barcic and a group of his followers wanted to enter the venerable Careva mosque in downtown Sarajevo (February, 2007), in order to perform the Wahhabi prayer rites. For the first time in the over 500 year history of the mosque, the Imam had to lock the doors. Only the arrival of the police could prevent clashes between Barcic's followers and followers of the indigenous Bosnian form of Islam. Several months before Careve mosque incident another occurred. There had been a massive brawl in the town of Kalesija after the Wahhabis occupied the local mosque there and chased off the Imam. It appears, however, that Barcic was not the organizer of the incidents in Sarajevo and Kalesija. Instead, new information shows that a man always seen close to Barcic, Karray Kamel bin Ali, is the mastermind behind the recent incidents. Kamel bin Ali, alias Abu Hamza, is Tunisian born, but has Bosnian citizenship. He and Barcic shared prison time together, and he was released several months ago. Wartime commander of the mujahideen unit in Bosnia, Abu Hamza became known to the Bosnian public after he murdered Egyptian Hisham Diab, alias Abu Velid, in 1997 in the central Bosnian city of Zenica. After managing to evade arrest for three years, Abu Hamza was finally brought down in Germany in 2000 and deported to Bosnia, where he was sentenced to seven years in prison. An investigation into the case, however, showed that the real Hisham Diab was still alive and an active member of an organization called "New Jihad" and a former close associate of the radical Egyptian cleric Omar Abdel-Rahman, who is serving a life sentence for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The identity of the person Abu Hamza killed in Zenica remains unknown[8]. Physical conflicts between traditional Bosnian Muslims and Wahabbi have also become more common. The media have reported fights in mosques across Bosnia, in Banovici, Cazin, Kladanj, Kalesija, Sarajevo and other towns and cities[9].
6. RS police arrest suspected Wahhabi associates. Republika Srpska (RS) police has arrested five people suspected of ties to the radical Islam Wahhabi movement. The RS Interior Ministry confirmed the arrests (August 12th 2010) and said they were made based on illegal weapons possession. The suspects were detained in Kozarska Dubica and Novi Grad[10].
7. Foiled terror attack by Mirsad Bektasevic (Maximus) group. Swede Mirsad Bektasevic (born in Serbia, Bosnian Muslim with Swedish and Serbian citizenship -, Denmark based Turk Abdulkabir Cesur and Bosnian Bajro Ikanovic were arrested in Sarajevo for planning a terror attack on Western targets in Sarajevo or other European countries. Bektasevic and Cesur came to Bosnia in autumn 2005 to plan the attack and they, together with Ikanovic (who was Bektasevic's supplier of explosives to be used in terror attack) were arrested in October and December 2005 in Sarajevo suburbs of Butmir and Hadzici. Police confiscated explosives, weapons, videos, an explosive belt and other military equipment. They also arrested Senad Hasanovic and Asim Bajric for possession of weapons and explosives. The videotape found in Baktasevic's apartment showed masked men asking for God's forgiveness for the sacrifice they are about to make. The investigation proved that Bektasevic and Abdulkabir were the ones on the video wearing face masks. All involved were Muslims. In their confessions they said that they wanted to "warn" Bosnian and Western European authorities about Muslims' suffering in Iraq and Afghanistan and to warn Bosnian government to withdraw its soldiers from Iraq. The alleged network was most likely plotting an attack on the European Forces (EUFOR) base in Sarajevo, located just 100 m from the house where two main suspects were arrested. Bektasevic has been in phone contact with a man later arrested in Denmark on suspicion of terrorist activities. Bektasevic used a codename Maximus. Four young Muslims in Denmark were arrested shortly after the Sarajevo arrests in a case that was said to be connected. They have been released due to the lack of evidence. The Danish group was under surveillance for 2 years after they met with radical Islamist cleric in London. The cleric was Omar Bakri Muhammed the leader of now-disbanded radical Islamist group al-Mujahiroon. The four had ties to the men arrested in Sarajevo, and were charged with helping provide weapons and explosives to Bektasevic and Cesur for the planned attack. Another three people in England were arrested in connection with the case and released on bail. It was Bosnian first-ever Islamic terror case[11].
8. The murder of a Croatian family. In December 2002, Muamer Topalovic murdered a family of Croatian returnees (a father and his two daughters; son was seriously injured during the attack) in Kostajnica near Konjic in BiH. They were gunned down in their home on the Christmas' eve. Topalovic confessed that he committed the murder for religious reasons – that he was doing the will of Allah. The victims were members of a Catholic family who returned a few years ago to their home after living outside the country as war-refugees. In his confession Topalovic said that he belonged to AIO and Jamiet el-Furkan. Jamiet al-Furkan (which was closed down on December 31, 2002) is an Islamic charity organization that was directly sponsored by Saudi Arabia. Both organizations denied that Topalovic was their member, but they conceded that he might have attended few of their lectures or courses. Other incidents of verbal and physical attacks of Catholic Croats from Muslims were reported. Topalovic was allegedly under ideology of Wahabbi groups, which extends intolerance also to non-Muslims[12].
Saudi Arabia as major threat in Process of Radicalization of Bosnian Muslim
Saudi Arabia is a major threat in Process of Radicalization of Bosnian Muslim according to the Bosnian Muslim prominent journalist Mr.Senad Pecanin. In his interview given to the World Tribune[13] after Rand Corp. conference in Doha, Mr.Pecanin stated: "Saudis are helping to finance a Muslim presence in Bosnia with multiple links to Al Qaeda ideology and Saudi Arabia has helped form a Wahabi-style Islamic community in Bosnia. The Saudi effort has combined massive funding with the infiltration of thousands of operatives, most of whom have married Bosnian women. After the civil war, mujahideen fighters stayed and married Bosnian women. They started Wahabism. They have physically attacked people in mosques. They are trying to impose a ban on alcohol. All this is sponsored by Saudi Arabia. Saudis have distributed money and deployed operatives throughout Bosnia and Middle East. Most of the Saudi operatives married Bosnian women and merged into society. At the same time, Saudi Arabia has coopted the Islamic clergy in the central European state. Wahabism, which began in the 18th Century in Saudi Arabia, has been termed the ideological basis for Al Qaeda's offensive against the West. The Wahabi strain of Sunni Islam preaches intolerance and rejects the rights of women. Never before in Bosnia have we seen women moving about in the hijab (Islamic headdress). Saudis pressured Bosnian widows of those killed in the civil war in the 1990s to convert to Wahabi Islam. He said anybody who converted received $50 per month. Al Qaeda agents have been operating in Bosnia. Bosnia embassy in Vienna has been selling passports to Al Qaeda operatives while senior officials were pocketing money from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim states. A lot of money provided by the Muslim countries ended up in the pockets of people like politicians," Pecanin said.
In overall, the main existing data and resources concerning the Bosnian Muslim radicalization point out first of all that the threat is not only present but evolving to a great extent. More specifically the Wahhabi groups seem to enjoy both domestic and international support in order to be able to recruit new adherents and at the same time finance their campaigns and followers. Furthermore the Bosnia Diaspora in neighboring regions such as the Sandzak in Serbia or in Vienna-Austria correlates to a level of threat that endangers international stability, and raises serious questions as to whether international Islamist terrorism networks and organized crime ones are to benefit from the above situation and the level of their involvement in the spread of Wahhabism already.
The spread of strict and conservative version of Islam further expands the influence of certain Middle Eastern states in the Balkans, thus creating a "safe haven" in that region from where Europe as a whole can be affected, by taking into account also the radicalization of the Muslim youth in most EU countries. That actually points out to the critical period where Bosnia is entering if one adds the fact that the EU accession process for the country is already underway along with the visa liberalization regime. These two developments pose a considerable challenge for the whole of the European security architecture. There is a lot of research and indications that the educational establishments in Bosnia being directed by radicals are to blame for the expansion of such ideals to the youth population which in turn facilitates recruitment. The youngsters are more in tune using the internet or getting involved with NGO's, therefore the spread of radical Islamists in Bosnia – and elsewhere – can be safely assumed that it will spread further into the future, unless proposals and actions are not taken to prevent this from happening.
Lastly, the peculiar and sensitive situation in BiH due to the wars and ethnic frictions and the heavy involvement of many international actors, has led to the involvement in the country of various foreign influences, and as far as the Muslim world is concerned the ones of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran. Since the volatile international political climate is prone to upheavals currently and already the involvement of Mujahedeens in the 90's is well documented and understood, it is very likely that these Muslim powers will use Bosnia through radicalism into achieving their political aims and affect both the Balkan and quite possibly, the European stability. It is of great importance that the issue of Islamic radicalism in Bosnia, to be well understood and presented in the world community, since it is a theme containing a multitude of important aspects present era world politics and it is directly involved in the radical Islamist scene that relates to terrorism and international organized crime. That surely means that a thorough knowledge of the subject is sine qua non for any individual or organization responsible in analysis or policy making in the fields of counter-terrorism and security.

When not taking pictures, my day job is working as a Graphic Designer at Remedy Creative in Tunbridge Wells. Since joining the team I've taken new photos for our website and then following that I was asked to take new staff portraits of the team. There's a good challenge in trying to take a serious portrait of someone at work, so this was a pretty fun session going through the team one at a time and seeing their personality come to life. The trick in directing these sort of shoots in a professional environment is to keep it as informal as possible, if someone isn't relaxed and comfortable, it's going to show.
For the setup, there's plenty of space to play with in our meeting room, so instead of keeping it portable, I decided to bring in my studio lights and 3mx3m backdrop (see the end of the post for some behind the scenes photos). It was a half day shoot and I needed a lot of juice for the lights, so this was a preferable option compared to my portable speedlights and a truckload of batteries. Even though everyone was shot against white, I used some nice soft lighting to make everyone 'pop' still and keep a bit of depth. Of course Remedy also wanted a portrait of me too, so Jonathan, our Creative Director stepped in to take mine (check out the timelapse gif at the end).
Here are the final shots that were selected, all retouched and ready for a fresh look in the new year!
Out of my shortlist of all the staff portraits, everyone picked their favorite. But even still, there were a few gems that didn't make the cut and get selected, but I still had to include as I really like them:
When it comes to photographing staff and employees, the majority of companies will have an assorted cross section of photos of their team clearly taken by different people at different times. I offer company profile photography to get a consistent look that can be replicated as your team grows or changes. I can provide portraits that looks modern, professional, fresh and most of all, natural.
I'm very flexible and can work in any location, if you're interested in booking some new portraits please don't hesitate to get in touch.

"The location fit perfectly into my commute to and from work. The staff was easily able to accommodate the long hours of my crazy work schedule. The staff spoiled my Bella and took special care of her when her eyesight failed to the point she could no longer see. I was only able to have her groomed once but I so looked forward to having Sara pamper on an on-going basis. Bella loved going to the "park" as we called it. She looked forward to "park" days and was the happiest dog ever after being with everyone. Bella is no longer with me but if I get anther dog I know, without hesitation, that it will be go to Harpers and Paw-rific for daycare and grooming."

This pub in Fitzroy has a fascinating and important history. Here's what the plaque reads:
"This hotel was an important Aboriginal social and political gathering place from the 1940s to the 1980s. The Builders Arms Hotel offered an alternative meeting space to the Gore Street church and earned national reputation as Black Pub of Melbourne. It was here the Aboriginal people mixed with the Fitzroy milieu and forged friendships with long-term residents and post-war immigrants that populated the suburb."

Microsoft's role with self-driving cars
No, Microsoft will not be building self-driving cars. But, they naturally want to be a part of building up that technology. While Elon Musk says he expects Apple to eventually be a direct competitor, that probably won't be the case with Microsoft based on the interview above.

I floated Marblemount to Rockport on the upper Skagit River on the final day it was open in January, not a single fish.
Pretty decent water conditions too. Nice midspring flows, wasn't raining.
I probably would have heard the grouse drumming back in the budding cottonwoods if I hadn't had my head underwater most of the way looking for steelhead and bull trout in their hideouts.
All from the comfort of my office here on the banks of the Duwamish River in Tukwila.
Say whaaaaat?!?!?
That stretch of the famed Washington salmon and steelhead river is one of a dozen Northwest waters that have now received the street view treatment from an outfit called FishViews.
They're based in Texas but three of the founders have links to the Seattle area.
Their motto is "Deliver a data-driven experience — that tells the stories of our rivers, coasts and shores — for science, conservation and recreation."
Basically, they strap a 360-degree camera in the middle of a raft, jab another one underneath the water and push off. Gauges record water temperatures, dissolved oxygen levels, pH and other things.
Afterwards they do a bunch of stitching and techy stuff with all the images and data, then post the above- and below-water "tour" on their website.
At right on the tour screen is a Google map that highlights the trip in blue; a red arrow shows you where you are on that stretch.
You can play the float as a video, but if you want to see what lurketh below, you'll need to click on the tiny little screen at bottom left, then hit the forward arrow on the main image to advance from frame to frame.
If there's a drawback, it's that you only see one line down the river, directly below the raft, which may or may not always be the fishy spot.
If you've got a virtual reality headset, there's a mode for that, and perhaps it has a more seamless way to see the bottom.
FishViews will probably prove to be a pretty powerful tool for biologists and folks of that nature, but if you're an angler like me, giddyup, this is pretty damned cool!!!
Along with the upper Skagit, so far FishViews has done portions of the North Fork Stillaguamish, South Fork Stillaguamish, Main Stilly, Elwha, South Fork Hoh, Snoqualmie, Duwamish and lower Willamette Rivers, as well as Lakes Washington, Green and Union, plus the nearshore waters of Shilshole Bay and the Ballard Locks and Discovery Park.
Hours and hours and hours of entertainment right there, fellow fish fiends!

Joe Hays and Brendan Moriarty worked a big-fish strategy to perfection on a big-bass Friday.
The Brother Rice seniors won the inaugural Des Plaines Conservation Area Sectional of the IHSA Bass Fishing Tournament at the Big Basin Marina in Channahon with five largemouth weighing 12.51 pounds.
How big?
"We were throwing back 2-pounders,'' Moriarty said.
They had their five keepers by 11 a.m., and culled six or seven the rest of the day. Keepers are black bass (largemouth or smallmouth in our area) of 12 inches or longer. Culling is the strategy of replacing live keepers with heavier bass caught later.
Hays caught their anchor largemouth of 3.78 pounds at 9 a.m.
"I was flipping a tube on a stump,'' he said.

Use prelate in a sentence
- When the prelate was again alone he gazed thoughtfully into vacancy. [10]

During divorce or separation, child custody is one of, if not the most, difficult arrangements to agree upon. Determining child custody can quickly become contested when parents do not agree upon an arrangement. Child custody lawyer Dorene Kuffer assists parents with sound legal advice as they work to protect their child's future.
Child Custody Disputes
It's wise to hire a child custody lawyer separate from that of your spouse to represent you at any and all hearings. Having a skilled Rio Rancho child custody lawyer representing you ensures that your parental rights are not violated and that your wishes and concerns regarding the custody of your child are acknowledged, respected and upheld.
New Mexico child custody law typically favors joint custody in the best interests of the child. That does not mean equal time with the child. The extent to which a parent is granted time under child custody law is determined by factors like:
- Each parent's mental state.
- Each parent's financial security.
- Each parent's health and lifestyle.
- The child's relationship with each parent.
- The child's preference (depending on age).
After taking all of these factors into consideration, the judge assigned to your child custody dispute will determine the physical and legal custody arrangements for the parents. Joint legal custody is preferred, but in a rare instance, the judge may order sole custody to one parent.
Rio Rancho Child Custody Lawyer
If you are in the midst of a child custody dispute, do not make any decisions without sound legal advice from an expert in New Mexico child custody law. Attorney Dorene Kuffer operates a child-centered family law firm that always puts your child's best interests first. Contact us to schedule a consultation with Dorene to discuss your case.

PHOENIX — Two people were killed and two more injured Monday after gunfire erupted during a possible drug deal gone bad, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said.
MCSO said it received a 911 call about noon that four men had been shot in the desert near Gila Bend. By the time authorities arrived, two of the men had died.
All four were found in a cave that contained guns and drugs.
"There was about 400 pounds of marijuana but we can't connect it with those murders right now," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said, adding that the shooting may have been cartel-related.
MCSO believes at least two other men opened fire. One of the victims is helping deputies with the investigation.

Liverpool played on Saturday so obviously Mo Salah scored.
The Egyptian has found the net in 12 of his last 14 appearances for the Reds, scoring 16 goals in that time, and headed home in the 69th minute of the 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield after being found by a brilliant cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
It was his 40th of the season in all competitions, with his goalscoring form propelling the Reds to the brink of Champions League qualification for next season as well as the semi-finals of the competition in this campaign.
Plenty of words come to mind when it comes to describing a man who has been compared to Lionel Messi on several occasions during his time at Liverpool, but it seems as though his teammate Virgil van Dijk only needs one.
At least that is the case judging by Van Dijk's cheeky take on Salah's form after the Bournemouth win, when the Egyptian was speaking to newspaper reporters.
Liverpool's excellent tunnel cam captures Salah chatting away, with Van Dijk approaching fast as he strolls through the mixed zone.
The Dutchman then gives his teammate a cheeky smile, and just as Salah is being asked what the secret is behind his incredible displays, he says his line off camera.
You can see the moment at the very end of this video, although watch the whole thing because it's great.

I absolutely love Christmas decor! The moment I am stand up from the Thanksgiving table and help clear the dishes, I am ready to put up the tree and my favorite decor for the holidays.
If you have not yet decorated for Christmas, here are some Pinterest inspirations and links to some adorable products I love or would love to have.
1. Mini String Lights & Ornament Jars
I love mini string lights so this idea of adding ornaments, pine cones, or other decorations to a vase and adding lights looks so wonderfully festive to me!
I found this photo on Pinterest but it eventually leads to these Brookstone Micro String Lights. I've also found similar battery-operated string lights at Primark for $3.50. This is definitely an affordable and adorable option!
2. Christmas Card Tree
Isn't this cute tree-like card display just absolutely adorable? I love this idea for a cute way to hang the holiday cards received from family and friends.
3. Repurposed Empty Wine Bottles
This is a great way to reuse the wine bottles emptied from Thanksgiving or the stressful holiday shopping and deadlines. I love the idea of a very affordable project that also brings in the joy.
4. Christmas Throw Pillows
Who doesn't love Christmas pillows? There are so many at so many stores to choose from. I found this picture here on Pinterest but Target, Amazon, and many other stores will have fun and festive pillows to show some spirit even on the couch.
5. Upside-down Wine Glasses for Candles
I love the ornaments in the one side of the glasses and some bright candles on the top. This is a great centerpiece but also a way to add romantic holiday feelings to the room. Check out this Pin here.
6. Bow Cupboards
Even the kitchen deserves some attention. This is a simple and fun way to make the kitchen very festive like the rest of the house. The garland and the lights on the top really pull it all together. Check out the pin here.
7. Pine Tree Mason Jars
Mason Jars can be on the inexpensive side and little fake trees can be as well. Put them together and add faux snow and then there is a wonderful decor for your home! See the pin here.
8. Garland Staircase
I found this pin and I think every staircase should be used for holiday decorations. Whether it is characters lining or garland and lights, using steps in the house truly brings an extra layer of magic.
9. Garland Framed Entrances
Same with the staircases, entryways are an easy spot to add decor. I love this idea of garland with lights and a red bow at the top.
10. Cozy Candle Fireplace
Finally, if you have a fireplace I think that this fireplace of candles lit instead of wood truly brings out a warm and fuzzy holiday spirit. Try a cute throw on the ground to snuggle with and a fun saying on the mantle.
I hope the PinSpirations help you find some Christmas decor ideas to help add some holiday magic to your home if you've yet to decorate or simply want more. After all, the more the merrier!

Please, sir, may I have another?
Now, the worst Congress ever wants to bail out the auto industry. I don't really blame the auto industry folks. For years, the government has been propping up major airlines, so why shouldn't they get a piece of the pie. It's perfect timing, too, since they just gave the most stable banks in the US blank checks with no real accountability on how it will be spent. Take a look at this from a CBS news article:
The Treasury Department agreed to post every transaction on the Internet, but all it shows is the list of banks and how many billions they got. The brand new Financial Stability Oversight Board has met four times already but they don't know how the banks are using the money. There's no hint in the first official Treasury report to submitted to Congress last week. And Congress promised to create its own special oversight board, but more than five weeks later not one person has been named to the panel.
They didn't even give the money to the troubled banks, but to the stable ones who are using it to acquire smaller institutions. That's an awesome deal. So why wouldn't Detroit itself ask for $10billion from the federal government and the major auto manufacturers ask for billion$ out of the bailout? It's free money that you don't have to be accountable for. Seriously, they need it. They are hardly staying solvent due to a decline in sales and the United Auto Workers union. It was just over a year and a half ago, the United Auto Workers union were negotiating contracts with the big 3 and arguing they were no where near close to collapsing.
Now, Obama, as part of the transition, asked Bush to solve their problems. Bush and team have already granted some $25billion in low interest loans to help the auto industry retool and focus on energy efficient technology. They don't want to do it.
I understand that the auto industry accounts for some 3 million jobs, but those have been decreasing year over year due to the high cost of union workers and high compensation packages of executives. I'm all for people trying to get paid what ever they can get, but if your company… your source of income is at serious risk of just going away… don't you accept pay cuts? Don't you accept cuts in benefits? What else is there? loss of your job? If you can't get by on what you earn, get a different job. If you can't get a different job where you live, move.
The government can not guarantee you a job. It just can't. This is a free market capitalism moderately government regulated capitalism system. Companies and industry rise and fall based on market demand. If the automotive industry was proving products that Americans generally wanted, they would be thriving. If they could successfully manage their costs, they would be thriving. Neither is true so they should fall. They will not all fail. There will be collapse and combinations. They've happened in the past and they'll occur again. it's painful, but healthy.

Hear Danity Kane Perform Their 2 Hits From 1996 On Their No Filter Tour
|Danity Kane reunite for new tour
Reality television manufactured girl group Danity Kane will perform their two top 10 hits (& apparently other songs) on a new tour. The No Filter Tour will hit 13 cities playing small theaters around the country. If you have no idea who The Whore is talking about, Danity Kane was put together through MTV's reality show Making The Band 3. They released two albums which sold a total of 1.8 million copies. They also released four singles, two of which went Top 10, the other two missing the Top 40 completely. Their biggest hit would be their first single, Show Stopper, which hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2006.
Apparently, someone somewhere thinks there's a market for a reunion and tour. So, the No Filter Tour was born. Hopefully, they won't just perform their two hits and will fill two hours with
pole dancing stripping reading books aloud dissertations on the string theory songs.
Check out Billboard for the full list of tour dates and more information.

|although taken some time ago, 37562 currently looks like
this, without fleetnames and has been working the X2/X22
services this week between Norwich and Lowestoft.
Due to the arrival of nine new StreetDecks at Norwich, there will be a cascade of Tridents to other depots across the country. Although there have been vehicles earmarked for transferral, this list is always changing and it's proving very difficult to keep up to date with what is happening! I think the best idea will be for me to report things as they happen, rather than writing what is planned to happen, otherwise we'll all get confused. And here's my first installment which involves Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and Ipswich.
Alexander Dennis Enviro200 44519 YX09ADO has returned to Ipswich from Lowestoft where it was on loan, and has been replaced by 37562 FJ08FYN, which is now a Great Yarmouth vehicle after being transferred from Norwich last week.
Other movements which have taken place include 33151 LR02LXK and 33004 LK51UZT transferring from Norwich to Great Yarmouth. Roy over on ENBB was fortunate enough to photograph 33151 on her first day of service on the coast. Click here to see his post.

Life is Great
Thursday, June 15
Another productive week
The paintig activity is still high at my balcony. So high that I had to clean my paint palette. That resulted in some interesting "paintings":
However, The real work was connected to the three acrylic paintings on Canvas:
This painting did my grandson named "The tilted Tank", when somebody else meant it shows a man sitting on a chair scratching himself with a large knife. Good responce to the style.
This painting is a variation of some of my previously prodused paintings made on demand by a friend. and called Karen´s lust. Her name is actually Karen Ylva.
The last one is an attempt to visualize part of the new skyline in Oslo; the business area Barcode at Bjørvika in the night.

I was back in the Valley this week, where I enjoyed having a townhall meeting with around a hundred Cigna employees who discussed ObamaCare, jobs, water, and other issues with me. Hundreds of Cigna jobs in Visalia had been jeopardized by ObamaCare regulations that put U.S. insurers at a disadvantage with foreign-based companies in issuing health plans for Americans living overseas. However, a bipartisan group of House members passed a law I co-authored to cancel those regulations, and the cancellation was enacted into law in December. You can read about the townhall meeting here and here.
I also had some good exchanges this week with local media and radio callers, who questioned me on ISIS, Hillary Clinton's private emails, Netanyahu's speech to Congress, and other topics. Here are some quick links to my interviews:
· KMJ's Ray Appleton
· Powertalk's Christopher Gabriel

I was the lucky winner (one of three) at the Mirror Crack'd first challenge ever and I was invited to guest for them on November challenge. I'm totally excited!
I made a canvas that represents my image of a peaceful x-mas. Canvas was covered with gesso and snow was also made with it through a stencil. Before snow dried I added diamond dust to it. Sky was made with spray inks, water and stencil. Animals I stamped to a tissue paper and colored them before adding them to the canvas, other embellishments are die cuts.
This is something you can put on your wall to decorate your x-mas and it doesn't matter if you leave it there little longer :).
Be sure to participate this November challenge with us!

Scientists at the Scripps Translational Science Institute and the Scripps Research Institute in the US have launched a study to understand how receiving personal genetic risk information impacts health decisions.
To conduct the study, the scientists developed the MyGeneRank app using Apple's ResearchKit platform that, with the user's permission, connects with the 23andMe app to automatically calculate an estimated genetic risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD), the first focus of the study.
The app calculates a 10-year absolute risk estimate for an adverse coronary event, such as heart attack, using a combination of genetic and clinical factors. Users are then able to adjust behavioural risk factors to see the impact of lifestyle habits on their overall risk.
Study participants are required to complete a survey immediately upon receipt of their score, as well as six months later to determine whether knowledge of their genetic risk influenced their health decisions. Through its integration with the Health app on iPhone, users can choose to share their health, activity and nutrition data with researchers to further assess changes in behaviour.
"We want to determine whether or not knowledge of genetic risk impacts decision-making when it comes to health behaviours or statin therapy," said Director of Genomics at the Scripps Translational Science Institute, and Associate Professor of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology at The Scripps Research Institute, Ali Torkamani, who's leading the study.
"Using ResearchKit, we can reach more participants via iPhone, expanding this study far beyond geographic barriers," continued Torkamani.
Many health conditions, including CAD, are caused by a combination of the environment, behaviour and genes. While patients can control some factors that may impact their chances of developing disease, the contribution of their genes remains encoded in their DNA throughout their lives.
Research has shown that a genetic risk score can be used to identify people with low, intermediate and high risk for CAD. Research has also indicated that the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs provides greater protection for people with a high genetic risk for CAD. Those at risk of CAD are also able to offset much of their genetic risk by maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.
"We are excited to launch a unique study that combines an iOS app and genomics to help guide important health decisions," said Founder and Director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute and Professor of Molecular Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute, Dr Eric Topol.
"Not only does participating in the study arm individuals with their own data, but it also gives them the opportunity to participate in new type of research – one that is driven by and for patients," continued Dr Topol.
In the future the scientists plan on expanding the app's offering of genetic risk scores to other diseases, as well developing an app for Android devices.
The MyGeneRank app is available for free via the Apple App Store.

My whole life I've been busy. In school it was homework, tennis lessons, netball, drama productions and babysitting. In college it was group projects, work and my friends. After college there was a period of time when I was working three jobs, and after that I worked full time, went to school at night and attempted to hold on to a vague semblance of a social life. Then on June 18, 2010 I was laid off. Two months later, I graduated with my MBA… and then there was nothing.
It's said that looking for a job is a full time job. That's a pretty accurate assessment and I threw myself into the task with vigor. What I didn't expect, was for after just three days of trawling through the various job boards online and e-mailing my resume to everyone I could think of, depression to hit. It turns out that going from 100 to zero overnight, at least for me, is less a pleasant vacation for the brain and more a mentally exhausting battle to retain self-confidence. I learned that having just one task (and a depressing one, at that) is not my thing.
My solution? A road trip. A month-long, 18-state road trip, leaving a week and a half after I came up with the idea for it. I don't really do things half way.
To be continued…

Health insurance costs continue to rise, according to recent news reports, with insurers in many states proposing double-digit increases for 2016.
Costs vary widely from insurer to insurer and plan to plan. It is easy to get tripped up by the confusion and end up paying more than is really necessary.
Fortunately, a little homework can help you make the grade the next time you choose a policy. Following are 10 costly mistakes to avoid if you want to get health insurance at the best possible price.
1. Focusing only on the premium and deductible
Many people who shop for coverage simply focus on the premium and deductible. But there are other costs to consider as well.
Unfortunately, I learned this lesson the hard way when I had unexpected surgery. Under my policy, surgical procedures were covered at 80 percent, leaving me responsible for the other 20 percent.
I never really gave that fact much thought until an emergency arose, resulting in a $12,000 hospital bill. My portion of $2,400 was a tough pill to swallow — especially considering I had not yet met my $500 deductible.
To learn more about some less well-known costs, read "These 9 Health Insurance Terms Confuse You … and Everybody Else."
2. Failing to read the fine print
William Byron, vice president of customer service operations for Geisinger Health Plan, told U.S. News & World Report that the top mistake individuals make is not calling their insurance provider's customer service team when they have questions regarding their coverage.
"The most common issues, including not having a prior authorization to see a specialist or visiting an out-of-network provider, can cost an individual more or may not be covered at all. Individuals should talk with the experts provided by their insurance company."
Failing to ask questions about things you don't understand will only cost you more in the long run.
As Byron noted, factors that can affect your out-of-pocket costs include whether you choose in-network or out-of-network providers, and whether or not your plan requires you to get prior authorization for certain services and procedures.
3. Not shopping around
It takes energy and a bit of patience to explore your options, but doing so can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Circumstances change and so do providers' pricing structures, so loyalty to your current insurer may not always be your best bet.
4. Signing up for COBRA
The federal government mandates under COBRA that continuation of coverage be offered for up to 18 months to many employees who separate from their companies.
On the surface, this sounds great, as you get to keep the same coverage you had while working for the company. But when you were an employee, the company picked up a large part of the premium cost. As an ex-employee choosing the COBRA option, you are on the hook for the full amount.
For many people, a much better deal may be available by purchasing a policy through the state or federal health insurance exchanges created under the Affordable Care Act or buying coverage directly from an insurer.
5. Getting too much insurance
Do you really need all of the coverage for which you signed up? For instance, a platinum level plan under Obamacare will cover on average 90 percent of your medical costs, but the premiums are pricey.
If you don't go to the doctor often and have no chronic health issues, maybe a cheaper gold, silver or bronze plan would make more financial sense.
6. Assuming one size fits all
Everyone's needs and medical conditions are different. The policy that works for your co-worker or friend may not work for you. Figure out your health care needs, compare plans and doctors, and choose the coverage that makes sense for you.
7. Skipping coverage because you're 'healthy'
Deciding not to purchase health insurance is a true roll of the dice. If you suddenly fall ill and desperately need coverage to avoid exorbitant medical bills, you likely will be out of luck once the enrollment period has closed.
However, it's important to note that some people may be able to buy insurance outside of the enrollment period if they experience certain life events, such as the birth of a child, job relocation, adoption or marriage. The federal government has more on these exceptions at the Health.gov website.

With the newly enacted Justice Reinvestment Act those convicted of certain drug related crimes may seek reconsideration of their mandatory minimum sentences. The issue is explained well in this September 30, 2017 Baltimore Sun excerpt:
Eighty-one percent of those sentenced in Maryland to a mandatory minimum between 2013 and 2014 were black, according to a report of the Justice Reinvestment Coordinating Council, a state panel that studied options for criminal justice reform.
"The concept that the system can jail its way out of a drug scourge has been shown to be a massive failure," Maryland Public Defender Paul DeWolfe said.
DeWolfe, whose office is expected to handle the vast majority of the motions, added that many people pleaded guilty to crimes "for fear that [they would] end up with a mandatory sentence" if they went to trial.
Before Sunday, repeat offenders of drug dealing crimes were subject to mandatory sentences with no chance of parole: 10 years for second-time offenders, 25 years for third-time offenders and 40 years for fourth-time offenders.
The new law repeals those minimums, and allow those already serving them to seek shorter sentences.
Most of those now eligible for reconsideration — roughly 80 percent — are serving 10-year sentences, according to the public defender's office.
If you or a family member may be eligible for reconsideration of a mandatory minimum sentence already imposed, fill out the contact form on this page. Ian Valkenet may be able to help!

In 2012, 71 percent of all students (about 1.3 million undergraduates) graduating from four-year colleges had student loan debt, according to The Project on Student Debt at the Institute for College Access and Success.
With so many students racking up so much debt, what would happen if there was an option to make two years of college essentially free?
At Seton Hall, not much, according to Dr. Alyssa McCloud, vice president of enrollment management.
The "America's College Plan" is President Barack Obama's proposal to make community college available at no cost to eligible students. The plan was announced in January and outlines a free first two years at community college with stipulations of capped household income and on how successful and dedicated the students must be, including a minimum GPA and a timely graduation date.
"Whoever you are, this plan is your chance to graduate, ready for the new economy, without a load of debt," Mr. Obama said in his State of the Union speech on Jan. 20.
While acknowledging the merit of the potential plan, Dr. McCloud wrote in an email: "I do not foresee this plan having a significant impact on our enrollment of incoming freshman. It may, however, give us the opportunity to recruit additional transfer students from local community colleges."
On average, a full-time undergraduate resident student at Seton Hall pays $2,000 for a meal plan, $4,375 for an on-campus residence hall, a $650 mobile computing fee, a $403 university fee and $17,410 in tuition, according to the Seton Hall website. Altogether, that is just shy of $25,000 per semester.
If this plan is implemented, those who go to community college would save about $100,000 if they attended Seton Hall for only their final two years of college. However, the maximum cost already is eased by the University's $75 million investment in student financial aid.
"Currently about 97 percent of (Seton Hall's) undergraduate students receive financial aid and 95 percent of these students receive a grant or scholarship directly from Seton Hall," Dr. McCloud said.
Seton Hall students reacted to the President's plans with some reservations.
Geoffrey Thomulka, a sophomore, said, "I believe the emphasis should be made on increasing financial aid to college students attending whatever college they want."
Thomulka, a mathematical finance and economics major from Point Pleasant, N.J., plans to attend Seton Hall for the entirety of his bachelor's degree.
He added that "it is not realistic to expect kids to start attending community colleges when there is a large societal emphasis on attending prestigious four-year institutions."
Of the President's community college plan, he said: "I really think (the president) has the right intentions, however as I understand it, the program will be funded by tax increases and borrowing," a route Thomulka believes the government should not take for this plan.
According to Mr. Obama's 2016 budget proposal, funding would come from a mix of increased specialized taxes and a limit on corporate tax deductions. Education would receive a five percent funding increase, or $3.6 billion, up from $67.1 billion for 2015, according to U.S. News. A spokesperson from the White House said it would cost around $60 billion over 10 years and affect as many as 9 million students who would each save an average of $3,800 per year.
While two years of free college may sound great, one Seton Hall student uses his own experience to highlight the way this method of saving is already somewhat possible.
"Being that I made the determination to go to a community college for many reasons, I feel that if it was reduced in price to free, it would have just been an added benefit," said James Farney, a junior marketing major, writing in an email.
"I made the personal choice to stay close to home for the first two years and it just so happened that the savings allowed me to go to a four year school."
The Middletown, N.J. native got his twoyear associate's degree in business administration from Brookdale Community College in Monmouth County after graduating high school. Farney said he had an outstanding experience at Brookdale, especially knowing that he was getting a valuable education in and out of the classroom and could be happy with his investment and financial choice.
On Mr. Obama's plan, he said: "I feel that it is a positive incentive for students who may not want to commit to a four year school to be able to confide in a community college…Reducing the cost to virtually free, I feel that many others will be able to take a chance and enjoy the community college aspect of education like I have."

Sensory play!
She loved messy play today!
Now Harper is a little older and sitting a little better I am always trying to think of new things we can do to help her development. I've seen a lot about sensory play and messy play and I've been thinking I'd like to try it with her, but wondered if she was maybe a little young. She is holding her head up a little better I thought it would be quite good to trust a messy play can see how she enjoyed it - as you can see by the smile on her face she loved it! What I did with make up some baby rice because we we won't be using it for weaning any way because we'll be doing baby led weaning. I used the baby rice because it didn't matter too much if she put it in her mouth, which she does with everything else! She had a lot of fun and was giggling the whole time, as she smooshed it all up in her hands and rubbed it on her face and on me - so I'm thinking maybe she is old enough for basic sensory and messy play and it might be good for her! In a couple of months we'll be using colours in the rice or smooshy stuff so it's visually developmental too, but for now I'm pretty sure her little system wouldn't appreciate the food colouring! We've also got her a paddling pool which we fill with ball pit balls (she likes to chuck them round the room when she's in there) and she also loves to splash in the bath - we are thinking of getting her a small paddling pool to use in the garden with toys that she can play with in the hot weather (she hates it, just like her mummy!) I've seen that blowing bubbles is good for hand eye coordination too, so we might be giving that a go - but I am really looking forward to using edible finger paints in a couple of months! Does anyone have any sensory ideas for 4 months olds? Comment below with your suggestions!

Summary of The Smartest Kids in the World
From THE SMARTEST KIDS IN THE WORLD by Amanda Ripley. Copyright © 2013 Amanda Ripley. Reprinted by permission of Simon & Schuster, Inc., N.Y.
Pages: 320
Looking for the book?
We have the summary! Get the key insights in just 10 minutes.
8 Overall
Journalist Amanda Ripley followed three US teens – Kim, Eric and Tom – as they studied abroad for a year in Finland, South Korea and Poland, respectively, all of which outrank the US on the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), a test measuring teenagers' critical thinking skills in reading, math and science. At a highly individual level, both Ripley and her subjects discovered profound differences between education in the US and in other countries. The students enjoyed greater freedom and autonomy overseas. They also faced higher expectations and more challenging coursework. They found that foreign teachers don't coddle kids and that failure is part of learning. High school sports don't exist: Students who want to play join community teams. Ripley interjects PISA rankings and educational reform information into her story, which makes the narrative episodic, but it remains fascinating and illuminating. She portrays a unique student perspective, showcases how cultural differences affect education and examines the cultural patterns that hold US kids back and spur teens from other nations. getAbstract recommends her exploration to school administrators, politicians, teachers, parents and students.
In this summary, you will learn
- What three American teens learned while going to high school abroad,
- Why many other countries outrank the US on PISA, and
- What Americans can learn about education from other countries, in this case South Korea, Finland and Poland.

Today, I'm going to give you the secret to getting free sales scripts forever. Here it is. Write them yourself. I know, #meancoach. If you want to be a great sales leader, become a student of sales. And really learn the stuff.
This podcast is here to help those of you who feel stuck and might post to our community, do you have a script for so and so situation? I'm sure that you are sitting there stumped with writer's block and you are reaching out to help. However, our community and our coaching team are not helping you by writing this for you. I think coaching has a lot of parallels to parenting. If our child has a tough assignment, we don't write the paper for them, we guide them through their own thought process and help them to make it work for themselves. Because they need to learn. You might be thinking there is no sense in recreating the wheel. Here is the problem with that thought process. You are a wheel maker. So you need to learn how to create wheels so you can make them as part of your roles. It also puts a disproportionate burden on those who have taken the time to develop this skill.
So today on the podcast I'm going to let you know, the Emerge coaches are no longer going to give you scripts, and I'm going to ask our community to do the same. We will refer you back to the structure of how to build it, and which set of components you should follow. If you would like help with an approach we definitely want to help you. Take the time to go through and make your best effort, and then we will be glad to give you some feedback and help you develop this skill.
4 guidelines to writing your own scripts.
- Identify which type of conversation it is. Are you setting an appointment? Are you in a sales conversation, even if you are selling an idea? Are you leaving a voicemail? Are you asking for referrals? Are you creating buy-in, which is a variation of a sales conversation? Each of these has specific components and steps which are found in your courses to give you the structure. Once you know the steps of the approach you are creating, you are off to a good start.
- Determine your call to action. What do you actually want them to do? Do you want them to set up an appointment with you? Do you want them to buy something? I know this is the last thing you are going to say in the actual approach but you always need to start with the end in mind.
- Write out the benefits from THEIR perspective. No one cares about what YOU want to do. They only care about what's in it for them. Write out at least 3 benefits to get your brain going to think about things from their perspective. Make sure you use simple language. We recommend at the 4th-grade level. And use words they would use. When you are so engrained in your company culture, it's likely you have your own language. Well, customers or team members don't think in that language. When you are writing, use their words. An example of this is a coaching call I did with a group on explaining the benefits of a product. Customers don't wake up and think, "I wish I had some anti-aging oil right now." They wake up, look in the mirror and think, "hey, where did that wrinkle come from?" So the words you use should be, "this is great for that time where you wake up, look in the mirror and think, where did that come from?" Then the customer knows you "get them."
- Write in a buffer to remove pressure. We call this acknowledging the awkward. Maybe you are calling out of the blue. Maybe you are worried that you are bothering them. Maybe you don't want them to feel pressured. Well, say that! Start your script with a buffer that just acknowledges what is really going on. One example is, "Hi, I know I'm calling out of the blue." Or another is, "I'm going to run something by you, feel free to say no if this is not something you want to do." It's really just putting the truth out there.
Let me walk you through one example: how to schedule a coaching call with a team member you haven't coached in a while.
- This is an appointment setting conversation. So the components would be an agenda, timeframe, and temperature check.
- The call to action is to schedule an appointment with you.
- The primary benefits from their perspective would be that they would increase their confidence, get better results, and earn more money in less time.
- The buffer would be something like, "Hi, I know we haven't been meeting on a regular basis."
So now you can fill in the blanks and you have a format you can schedule any type of appointment with.
"Hi Poppy, I know we haven't been meeting on a regular basis but I wanted to run something by you. I really want to do a better job helping you to increase your confidence and earn more money in less time. So what I'm doing right now is setting up coaching calls where we would go over your goals, and help you develop a skill that will help you to do better. The coaching call would take between 40-60 minutes. Is that something you would be open to?"
"Hi college roommate, gosh it's been forever since we have spoken. I was hoping we can do a playdate with the kids so that we can finally get them to play together. I figured we could have lunch, the kids could play hide and seek and then just run around the backyard. I was thinking we could do something for just an hour or two since we are both busy but I miss you. What do you think?"
By us not building your scripts for you, now you have developed the skill set to be versatile and succeed in any situation. And now you have the ability to build your own sales scripts forever.
If you want to lead your team to help drive more sales and make more money, then join us June 17th at 8:00 am PDT! (This live call will be recorded and available lifetime to all registrants) We're going to talk about how to run effective 1-on-1s where your team member: has clear goals, has buy-in to the solution you have made together, and actually does the stuff. It's only $27 and is great for those of you new to Emerge and for those of you in our programs as well. Register at emergesalestraining.com/salesleadership.

At 4pm on Friday 14th September, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Ian Duncan-Smith MP, accompanied by local MP Stewart Jackson, will visit the Peterborough homeless project pioneered by home-grown charity, Hope into Action.
Mr Duncan-Smith and Mr Jackson will begin their visit at Bretton Baptist Church (a partner church) at 4pm where they will meet the Executive Director of Hope into Action, Ed Walker, as well as some of the Charity's tenants, investors, volunteers, staff and church minister David Whitlock. Afterwards they will be invited to a private viewing of one of the Charity's current houses.
Mr Jackson said:
'Having heard of Hope into Action's work around the city I welcome the opportunity to show Mr Duncan Smith such a social action project in the city. I look forward to seeing firsthand the good being done locally.'
Mr Duncan-Smith said:
'Having heard how Hope into Action has teamed up private capital with voluntary support workers to help vulnerable and disadvantaged adults, I welcome the opportunity to visit Peterborough and see first-hand how this initiative has managed to get seven houses up and running in only two years. I commend all the staff and volunteers on their innovative approach, and success to date.'
Hope into Action's Chairman, Gavin Bateman, commented: 'We are delighted that Mr Duncan-Smith and Mr Jackson are showing such interest in our innovative and exciting project. We see this as endorsement of all the hard work contributed by staff, volunteers and local churches, and the support given to many of the vulnerable tenants we care for.'
