10 Easy Back-to-School Tips to Help Children (and Parents!) Eat Smarter This Fall
Childhood obesity is at an all-time high in America, while the overall nutritional value of school lunches continues to plummet. With only weeks left before children and teenagers go back to school, how can parents help to control their children's weight and diet? How can a family dinner be a learning environment to teach proper nutrition?
Here are ten simple remedies and lifestyle changes for families. I suggest parents try to Lead By Example and Create A Healthy Eating Environment so kids will pick up better eating habits and make better choices on their own.
Simply adopting one or two small and positive lifestyle changes from the following Top Ten List will elicit long-term results that will help you and your family eat better:
Structure Your Family's Eating. Although hectic schedules can present challenges, don't give up on the idea of family dinners. Discourage eating on the run and random snacking. Instead, establish routines for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after-school snacks.
Offer a Choice of Several High-Fiber, Low-Sugar Breakfast Cereals With Milk (skim or 1-percent fat) and/or Fruit. Check the nutrition information on the box and avoid cereals high in sugar. Oatmeal, raisin bran, fat-free granola, Cheerios, and shredded wheat are good choices. If your child is used to sugary cereals, gradually mix in healthier cereals while reducing the proportion of the sweeter stuff.
Don't Try to Forbid Fast Food or Junk Food. Consider them as treats to be enjoyed occasionally, but not in place of regular meals or snacks. If you need to keep cookies in the house, limit the number of choices and try to buy single serving packages so there is less temptation to overindulge. Substitute healthier choices whenever possible — a child offered nonfat frozen yogurt is unlikely to miss high-fat ice cream.
Reduce the Number of Distractions While Your Child is Eating. Turn off the TV. Discourage eating while playing computer or video games.
Minimize Consumption of Sugar Sodas and Fruit Juices. The calories in soft drinks have no nutritional value and don't abate hunger. While eating an apple or grapes reduces hunger, drinking an apple or grape fruit doesn't.
Serve Reasonably Sized Portions. If he or she is still hungry, they can ask for seconds. If you misjudge and serve too much, save the excess for leftovers. Don't encourage the child to eat the food to avoid wasting it.
Don't Use Food as a Reward. Don't use one food as a reward for eating other foods. Don't offer food as a reward for an accomplishment. Conversely, don't use food to placate.If your child is feeling sad, tend to the emotions, not the appetite.
Don't Buy Toys That Glorify Junk Food.
Cook New Foods Together. Encourage your child to help in the kitchen preparing food. And don't assume that just because your child didn't like it the first time, they might not ever have it again. Try another day.
Monitor Your Child's School Lunches.
Body Intelligence is not a traditional diet book with rigid meal plans, low-fat recipes, exercise guides, and calorie counters. Instead, it offers specific methods to help the reader understand and regulate eating, improve body image, and learn to comfortably become more active. It's a unique solution to weight control that goes to the root of eating problems — the thought patterns that affect eating habits, self-perception, and the way people live.
Edward Abramson, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology at California State University and former director of the Eating Disorders Center at Chico Community Hospital. He has written several books, including Body Intelligence (McGraw-Hill; $21.95US; 0071442065) and Emotional Eating, and has been published in dozens of scientific publications. He has appeared on television's "20/20," "Good Day LA," and other shows. For more information, please visit:dredabramson.com.

Will Election Finally Bring Clarity to Investors?
With the first Presidential debate on tap for tonight, the final stage of the election has at long, long, long last, finally arrived. For investors, the direction that the political tides roll over the next month will help sharpen expectations for fiscal and tax policy.
It seems that investors, especially stock pickers, are perhaps craving more certainty than any particular personal preference for an outcome. That's especially the case when it comes to the fiscal cliff, which holds the potential to sink the economy back into recession. Will they get that certainty?
As always, the starting point is what's baked into the market. It seems most investors expect President Obama to win a second term, for the Democrats to retain a non-filibuster proof majority in the Senate and for the Republicans to hold control of the House.

Oil Cleansers
There are so many brands of oil cleansers in the market nowadays and so many different types of oil cleansers, but do all of us suit oil cleansers?
For some, oil cleansers cause break outs or increase in clogged pores. I suffered that before. One of the reasons behind this is because oil cleansers contain emulsifiers - an ingredient that causes the oil to become milky upon contact with water so that we can wash the oil off easily. The emulsifier can potentially clog our pores and cause breakouts.
That is what happened to me but I still prefer to use oil cleansers than milk cleansers to remove my make up and sunscreen. Reason being, oil cleansers give me a cleaner feel. With milk cleansers, I have to repeatedly use cotton pads to remove my make up and it gives me a sense of not having clean skin.
So how do I choose oil cleansers that will suit my skin? Consider whether the oil cleanser has reduced risk of clogging pores by checking the label to see if it is non-comedogenic. One example will be Shu Uemura's cleansing oil. One thing good about Shu Uemura is you can cloose the type of oil cleanser to use depending on your skin type. One drawback is that it contains mineral oil. Something that I usually avoid as it is also reputed to cause breakouts.
Do consider the texture of the oil and if it emulsifies thoroughly without leaving any oily residue. And most importantly, always cleanse with a normal facial cleanser after using an oil cleanser. Double cleansing is important to ensure that your skin is thoroughly clean from oil and dirt.

How does one "green" an economy? For governments seeking a cleaner, more efficient, and ultimately more sustainable pathway to economic prosperity, this question entails both promise and great challenges. The Green Growth Investment Forum (GGIF) aims at gathering potential investors and policy makers in the Caribbean and create awareness in Europe of the specific development realities and challenges facing the small islands of the OECS. The participants will comprise investors in the area of "green economy" in the Caribbean and private sector representatives who use green technologies or are interested in developing these technologies within their companies. Major deliverables of the Forum are the proposal for a Green Award for enterprises who produce based on sustainable and environment-friendly criteria; the need for the exploration surrounding the development of a technical and regulatory (legislative) framework to allow for more effective implementation of a green economy in the Eastern Caribbean; and the way forward for joint energy policy formulation in the OECS, with regulated exchange of information and technology with neighboring territories. This meeting will be organized by OECS in collaboration with CTA and will take place in Saint Lucia in July 2012. More information will be soon available at brusselsbriefings.
The CTA-Brussels Office has been reporting on the latest developments in recent months at the European Parliament concerning chocolate production and trade. In March, the European Parliament followed the advice of INTA Committee and gave its consent to renew the International Cocoa Agreement. Likewise, it took the opportunity to raise awareness of the problem of child labour and child trafficking in the sector. Moreover, rapporteur Vital Moreira stated that both policymakers and stakeholders involved in cocoa production had to live up to their responsibility to eradicate child labour in cocoa production. This week, the EP hosted an event highlighting the issue of the use of child labour on cocoa farms and called upon consumers to buy Fair Trade. Participants at the event were shown a special film by CNN about child labour on West African cocoa farms, where tens of thousands of children are involved in backbreaking and sometimes dangerous work. In the words of MEP Linda McAvan, the main supporter of the event in her role of Chair of the European Parliament's Fairtrade Group: : "It is too simple to blame the farmers in West Africa. Many of them live in poverty themselves and are seeing their small margins squeezed. The price paid to farmers for cocoa has fallen 30% in recent years. We need the big western chocolate companies who buy most of the cocoa from places like West Africa, and who make substantial profits, to look again at their supply chains and work with us to ensure farmers are paid a decent, predictable income for their cocoa and to stamp out child labour."

Since 2005, Somali piracy has escalated and become a threat to regional stability, world trade, and all forms of maritime transport. As the political situation in Somalia, which after more than two decades remains unstable, gives little hope of an overall improvement of the matter, the EP adopted a resolution intended to better deal with maritime piracy this week. Among other requests, MEPS called upon Member states to provide more material assistance and naval vessels to the operation ATALANTA, the European Naval Force launched in December 2008 and extended by the Council until the end of 2014. Similarly, the EP asked for more humanitarian assistance in order to improve the on-shore situation.

As Swaziland's government has suppressed trade unionism in the country by repeatedly meddling in union activities, the EU expresses concerns. Through a press statement by the EU Delegation, based in Lesotho, and in conformity with the EU Heads of Mission accredited to the country, calls upon the government to stop these actions and recalls the existing Cotonou Agreement as its provisions stand for respecting human rights.In words of the press statement: "These events, coming after similar interventions by the authorities over the past months, set a disturbing trend of restricting citizens' rights guaranteed by the Constitution." According to the Journal Times of Swaziland, the government recently deregistered the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (TUCOSWA) only a month after its creation arguing that the Act governing industrial relations did not have a provision for its existence.

During the course of the 7th South Africa - Germany Bi-National Commission in Berlin, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe called upon the European nation to invest in South Africa's massive state-led infrastructure drive. "We are targeting a range of areas, including roads, rail, ports, water infrastructure and telecommunications. To this end we wish to invite the government of Germany and German cooperates to participate in this important initiative," Motlanthe said in his opening remarks at the BNC. It is important to note that President Jacob Zuma announced a massive infrastructure-development plan several weeks ago. It lists 17 strategic integrated projects that involve rail, road, school and hospital construction. The projects cover a range of economic and social infrastructure across all nine provinces with an emphasis on poorer regions.

Following Francois Hollande's takeover of the French presidency, the South African President, Mr. Jacob Zuma said he looks forward to further strengthening bilateral and trade relations between the two countries, as he emphasised the role of France in international fora. "On behalf of the Government and the people of South Africa, I congratulate Mr Francois Hollande on winning the French Presidential elections. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our congratulations to Mr Hollande and the people of France for a successful election," he stated. On a particular note, and echoing some oft-voiced concerns in Europe , South Africa, which still faces 3 main challenges, namely poverty, inequality and unemployment, seems to be improving ties with its peers who make up the BRICS. Following the South Africa-India Business Forum held at the Reserve Bank Conference Centre, Pretoria, Mr. Zuma drew attention to the prospective increase of South Africa-Indian trade.

Following a meeting between the Rwandan Minister of Finance, John Rwangombwa, and Michel Arrion, head of the EU Delegation in Rwanda, the EU will grant €89 million to the African country with the aim of supporting agricultural programmes focused on increasing nation-wide food production nationwide. According to recent updates by All Africa, the funds will be channelled through the government's budget to boost EU supported programmes intended to decentralise agriculture. In words of Mr Arrion: "with the approval of these funds, we shall increase our original multi-annual programme for the year 2008-2013 by 30 percent which is quite significant. Rwanda is among the top ten countries worldwide for which EU has decided to increase their funding by almost one third. " Source: All Africa

The European Commission's expenses for 2010 were approved by the Parliament under the EU's annual budget discharge procedure. The finances of almost all other institutions, agencies, and notably the European Development Fund, also received endorsement.By granting a discharge to an institution or agency, Parliament declares that it has spent its budget (funded by the European tax-payer) in line with EU rules. This "closes" the budget. At this stage, the Parliament can either grant or postpone discharge. MEPs act on a recommendation of the Council and base their decision on a review of the annual accounts and the Court of Auditors' annual report. They may also recommend action by the Commission on certain matters. The Commission presents its response in a follow-up report and action plan, which it sends to Parliament and the Council.
A high-level conference on the modernisation of Trade Defence Instruments (TDI) was held in Brussels this week, bringing together more than 240 stakeholders. Following key note speech delivered by EU Trade Commissioner De Gucht, participants discussed possible modifications to these defence instruments to allow them to function better in the current global trading environment.The TDIs are intended to counter the dumping of under-priced products on its markets, re-establish a level playing field for its businesses in the face of unfair subsidies and ensure healthy competition through safeguards, in the event of sudden shifts in trade flows. In the light of this ongoing modernisation initiative, the European Commission has published a Public Consultation on the Trade Defence Instruments which is open to all stakeholders until 3 July 2012.

Adding to discussions on the EPA negotiations with the East African Community (EAC), the EU is pushing for a most-favored-nation (MFN) clause in the agreements. According to the journal The East African, the EU aims to restrain the bloc from making deals with emerging economies, particularly with China and India, as it would require that the EAC extend to the EU the same preferences granted to third parties. EAC stakeholders said the clause could severely weaken South-South trade. James Ndahiro, Rwanda's representative to the East African Legislative Assembly, recently stated that the MFN clause should be removed or modified to restrict its application to agreements with more developed economies. Along with Mr. Ndahiro, there are those who claim that this clause would hamper South-South cooperation, the EU likely being the biggest beneficiary in terms of trade. At present, the MPs have called on the EAC to maintain a common position and ensure that no single EAC Member State signs the EPA independent of the rest. Source: The East African
According to a report by the Foundation for Worldwide Cooperation, around $93 billion is needed for building good infrastructure annually, which implies a huge resulting deficit, when compared to the continent's current expenditure of only $45 billion in the sector. These findings were unveiled during a conference on peace and security, infrastructure, and trade in Africa, at the new African Union Conference Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the theme, "Africa: 54. Countries One Union". Romano Prodi, president of the foundation, stated that African firms could achieve productivity gains of up to 40 percent with adequate infrastructure: "Africa needs to build regional infrastructure that will promote inclusive growth and integration, and will create large and competitive economic areas that are attractive to investors and might lead to increased employment and mobility of people across borders," Representatives from the African Union and its sub- regional organizations, the UN, the European Union (EU), China and the United States were in attendance at the event. "Africa: 54 Countries, One Union" is a follow-up to last year's conference in Washington D.C., which aimed to boost African initiatives on infrastructure and development.

The European Commission has recently published guidelines for a technical review of EU Member States' greenhouse gas emissions inventories. The review, expected to be completed by August 2012, is intended to set national limits for 2013-20 on emissions not covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), chiefly concerning sectors such as transport, building, agriculture and waste.The guidelines, published as a Staff Working Document, have been prepared by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in close consultation with Member State experts on the EU Climate Change Committee.

Continuing with his weekly outspoken criticisms of the EPAs, the former president of Tanzania, Benjamin William Mkapa, warns of the prospective effects of the agreements on African regional integration, stating that these "will displace intra-regional trade". On a more positive note, however, he emphasizes that there exists a certain sympathy within the EU for Africa's concerns, as the European Parliament committees on Development (DEVE) and International Trade (INTA) recently drafted proposals rejecting the proposal for the amendment of Regulation 1528/2007, which provides duty-free and quota-free market access to the EU market. The DEVE committee stated, in a draft proposal in April of 2012, "that the conclusion of the negotiations should be driven by content, which must take into account the interests and address the concerns of both parties". Thus, and finding "unacceptable provisions¨ in the agreements, the DEVE committee agreed that Regulation 1528/2007 should be maintained. Similarly, 2 weeks after the DEVE position was announced, the INTA committee suggested an extension of the deadline for the EU's proposed amendment from January 1, 2014 to 2016, arguing that "bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations are complex in nature and very often cannot be concluded in rigidly set timeframes". Underlining a number of other weaknesses of the EPAs, Mr. Mkapa notes that the EU will greatly benefit from African development and prosperity. "We trust therefore that the EU will heed ACP countries' and Africa's proposals for a mutually-beneficial partnership ahead", he concludes.

As part of its Vision 2020 development blueprint, ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) has launched a volunteer programme whereby young specialists will be deployed to serve in member countries. The programme, which is being supported by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the United Nations Volunteer Programme (UNV), Unesco, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the European Union (EU), will seek to strengthen peace-building, improve national reconstruction and accelerate development in member states.In late April, pioneer volunteers commenced a due training in the Liberian capital, Monrovia, to prepare them for the maiden deployment. They comprise young specialists in different fields and will be deployed across West Africa, as part of the pilot project.They will be deployed in community-based associations, non-governmental organisations and agencies that are active in socio-economic, cultural, political and humanitarian work.

The EP Agriculture and Rural development Committee (AGRI) will present next week a comparative analysis of farm support within the major agricultural trading nations. The analysis contrasts the support given to farmers in the EU, the US, Canada, Russia, China, Brazil and Switzerland and their distorting effects on world markets.Recent world history has been marked by a global controversy over agricultural trade, where farm support has played a central role.Source: European parliament
According to a recent Sendeveloppementlocal article, actors from the Senegalese agricultural sector will try to meet their goal of reducing their volume of imports by 50% by 2015. Ibrahima Wade, Permanent Secretary of the Senegal's Accelerated Growth Strategy (AGS), said the aim is to offset the balance of payments. These statements were made during a workshop organized by the Federal Cooperative of Horticultural Actors (CFAHS), in St. Louis.To achieve this goal, the Secretary stated that the horticultural industry should review its ambitions and strive to surpass them next year. The president of the CFAHS, Ngane Sheikh, also in attendance, stressed that the horticulture sector was subject to changes resulting from the establishment of efficient structures for transport and storage of products.In particular, he stated "The state should provide more support to this sector which can play an important role in the fight against unemployment and the achievement of food self-sufficiency."Source: Sendeveloppementlocal
According to a press release by the European Commission, dangerous products, whether produced in the EU or imported from third countries, are detected earlier and more promptly removed from the EU market thanks to the effectiveness of the EU's rapid alert system for non-food dangerous products ("RAPEX"). This process involves a chain of actions including upstream efforts to design out risks at source, better risk assessment and close co-operation between EU authorities to identify risks at the points of entry.John Dalli, Commissioner in charge of Health and Consumer Policy has said accordingly: "The fact that fewer dangerous items enter the EU market is good news for consumers. But we must remain committed so that we can tackle the challenges of the global supply chain and address any new product safety issues as they emerge. That is why building the system of 'Seamless Surveillance' by strengthening co-operation here in the EU and enhancing co-operation with international partners remains a key priority".

Despite widespread criticism and negative prospects facing the EPAs in Africa, the Caribbean region appeared to demonstrate a better outlook, at least when compared to the East African Community (EAC) and latest germane headlines. However, some concerns were expressed over the 2008 EU Cariforum Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with Europe. "Trying to answer questions about the success […]is far from easy", according to Dominican Today. Although it seems clear "that there are very large sums of money" being made available by the EU and which are intended to both support regional integration and meet EPA requirements, "it is hard to find any evidence that use is being made of the trade aspects of the agreement other than in relation to the improved access it offers in the area of commodity exports". One of the topics raised last week was the impact of the BRICS on developing countries. Trade experts have once again sounded the alarm regarding growing ties between Africa and China. According to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, this reached $126.9 billion in 2010, while trade volume rose by 30 per cent year-on-year during the first three-quarters of 201. According to an article by Daily Nation, Kenya, as one of China's top five trading partners, has been the subject of complaints by some EU Member states representatives. They protest in particular their lack of access to President Kibaki. In the words of the author: "The trade volume between Africa and EU countries has significantly dropped, which is one of the reasons why diplomats are unhappy with the Kibaki administration […] In a way, these diplomats are under pressure from their metropolitan states to restore the lost glory of cosy African relations as the Chinese have clearly found favour with the Kibaki administration". New EU development initiatives were also announced at the beginning of May. Following a high-level meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the EU has granted ClimDev Africa Initiative €8 million to support Africa's response to climate change challenges. According to the press service of the EU delegation to the African Union, the grant agreement was signed at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) this week. The contribution is part of the Global Climate Change Alliance funding, a programme in which the EU and the most vulnerable Developing Countries are working together to tackle climate change. Moreover, and as a result of regular droughts, the EU announced that it will allocate Sh4.3 billion (around €39 million) to Kenya. Main areas of work will be health, nutrition, water supply, and sanitation, with a particular focus on women and children. The fund is part of "Supporting Horn of Africa Resilience (SHARE)", an EU initiative that is to improve disaster preparedness in the Horn of Africa. There were those that claim, however, that the EU could be more helpful in Africa should it take further measures involving legislation: If new EU rules were to be introduced mandatory transparency for multinational companies, living-standards in resource-rich countries, which normally face high poverty rates, would be greatly improved. Joseph Banga, a Congolese citizen who works for the International Alliance of Catholic Development Agencies (CIDSE), spoke of this to The Guardian and has urged the EU "[to] demonstrate commitment to Africa's development". Mr. Banga states that both EU transparency and accounting directives, which are to be adopted in the coming months, can change the state of affairs "if not watered down."The CTA –Brussels Office also reported on the latest debates at the 3161st Council meeting, which focused on Agriculture and fisheries. Ministers discussed the reform of payments for farmers as part of the broader discussion on the reform of the EU's common agricultural policy. One of the key tasks of the reform will be to ensure that payments are well targeted and spend efficiently. Ministers also held a debate in the framework of the common fisheries policy (CFP) reform. Regionalization and transferable fishing concessions (TFCs), which are two of the specific issues in the proposal for a regulation on the CFP, were particularly discussed. A large majority of member states welcomed regionalisation as a flexible approach to adapt to the diversity of regions and countries in the EU. They considered the approach appropriate to tackle in particular multiannual plans but also technical measures. However questions subsisted on the best way to balance the empowerment of member states within the regionalisation and a model where the final decisions remain within a EU framework. Most of member states would like the last word to remain at the EU level in order to ensure a level playing field. Furthermore, agriculture ministers were brought up to speed on the communication on promotion measures and information provision for agricultural products: a reinforced value-added European strategy for promoting the tastes of Europe.

Trump's Push For More Basic Insurance Plans Could Equal Big Changes For California Health Care
July 17, 2018
The Trump administration has been pushing for the return of short-term health plans and association health plans, two types of coverage that are exempt from Affordable Care Act requirements and could offer an affordable alternative to consumers who feel priced out of the Obamacare marketplace. But some California advocates say these plans offer shoddy coverage and pose a threat to the stability of the healthcare system. Read More

About Find Your Fav
Find Your Fav is nothing short of a passion-fueled labor of love. I created the site in 2007 after spending many hours figuring out how I could be a part of something that I found incredibly magical and fulfilling - the music world. I was lucky and I met many kind musicians and actors early on in my journey who graciously agreed to be interviewed by an unknown but passionate writer in Seattle. I was also lucky enough to have a lot of people say "no" to me, because every no I received made the yes's that much more valuable and inspiring.
Every artist/talent/human featured on this site was kind enough to spend time with me and share a piece of themselves with me (and in turn, with you). I consider myself unbelievably lucky to have the privilege of sharing great music and the inspiring, gifted people behind it with you.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you find something here that means a lot to you, like it does to me.

Phew! We've made it to Wednesday..though I'm not quite sure how that is different from any other day of the week. Maybe it's just because it feels different on a Wednesday. LOL! Today for Re-Swatch Wednesday, I've gone with OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know, previously shown here.
Wooden Shoe Like To Know is a warm brown nail polish with a golden-reddish shimmer. I first wanted to try it with a matte top coat, to see if I could bring out that shimmer more, but alas, it was not to be.
This is 3 coats plus top coat. Yes, I like this polish because that shimmer really lends a warmth to the polish, but it still is slightly disappointing that the shimmer isn't that prevalent.
What oldie-but-goodie nail polish have you pulled out and tried lately? Sound off in the comments!

OPTION – Tempered Glass
Tempered glass, often called safety glass, is mostly used where required by code or for a specific safety purpose. The tempering process adds cost to the glazing process. When shattered, tempered glass breaks into very small pieces, unlike regular annealed glass that breaks into long slivers and sharpened shards.
The tempering process is achieved by a series of heating and cooling cycles so that the grain of glass is reoriented from length to width. As the name would imply, tempered glass is also much stronger than annealed glass so it's often used with larger windows where stronger glass is required.
Tempered Glass Uses
Typically, Building Codes require tempered glass next to doors, in doors, over bathtubs, and where glass is close to the floor. Tempered glass looks no different than regular annealed glass but the tempering process makes it two to three times as strong (structurally speaking).
Unless clients specifically ask for tempered glass, we use regular annealed double strength glass where tempered is not required. We always use, include, and estimate for tempered glass with our bids if we know it's required or needed. Building Professions, when requesting a quote, please specify which windows will require tempering.
Choose Ringer Windows for all your Safety Windows
At Ringer Windows, we are window professionals so you can rest assured that we will install the right type of glass in all your windows. It is important, when speaking with a Ringer Windows team member, to provide all the information regarding your new construction or replacement windows needs so that we make sure you are getting the correct window product for your applications. All Ringer Windows safety windows use Cardinal IQ Tempered Glass which meets regulatory safety standards, ANSI Z-97 .1-2004, CPSC 16CFR 1201 cat. I ,CPSC 16CFR 1201 cat. II.

|Metro's Lisa Piecki and Pamela Chrzanowski,
Development Specialist, The Kevin Guest House
The house was founded in 1972 by Cyril and Claudia Garvey as a memorial to their son Kevin, who died of Leukemia at the young age of thirteen. The Garveys had come to Buffalo from Sharon, Pennsylvania so that Kevin could receive treatment at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Although they were able to afford a hotel while their son was in the hospital, they recognized the need for other families who could not find comfortable and affordable lodging close to Buffalo's medical facilities. Each year this "home away from home" welcomes more than 1,200 guests from all over the world. Kevin Guest House relies solely on donations from individuals, businesses, fundraisers and grants to support their mission. In order to help out during the holiday season, NFTA-Metro has provided Festival of Lights carload tickets and stadium blankets to be used by friends and families visiting the house. "What a wonderful time of year when so many reach out to our guests during such difficult times in their lives. They are dealing with critical health issues and are away from their home, support system and those they love. The gift of Festival of Lights carload tickets will provide a few hours of joy this Christmas season to our bone marrow recovery guests and other guests visiting loved ones or receiving out-patient care over the holidays. The cozy stadium blankets bring that little bit of warmth on those chilly nights when there is nothing better than curling up on the couch watching the twinkling of our holiday lights. Thank you NFTA for your thoughtfulness." - Executive Director, Wayne Zimmerman

Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa should have accepted in court to having given the order to distribute 'Sil cloth' during the previous Presidential election campaign and not by issuing a press release, MP Nalin Bandara said.
Bandara addressing the media yesterday at the Information Department said former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had issued a press release accepting responsibility over distribution of "sil cloth" and also trying to justify the use of public funds.
He said that the former President should have done it before his Secretary Lalith Weeratunga, and former Telecom Regulatory Commission Chairman Anusha Pelpita, were found guilty.
"The former President could have easily saved those public servants but he never did. He never appeared for any related cases in courts. But he had issued a press release that he is responsible for it," he said.
MP Bandara said some Buddhist monks are trying to protect the former President by saying that Weerathunga and Pelpita were arrested for distributing Sil cloth.
"Some politicians are using Buddhism to cover up their fraud and corruption. I request the Maha Sangha to make a decision to control such incidents," he said.
MP S.M. Marikkar said Weerathunga and Pelpita were not arrested for distributing "Sil cloth" but for misappropriating public funds and for violating election laws.
"Provincial council elections are coming therefore the former President is trying to create a picture among public that they were arrested for distributing "sil cloth". he said.

Mindfulness for photographers. Digital detox – part 1.
Digital is cheap, requires little space and makes no mess but, although I can happily spend hours in Lightroom, it doesn't have the same therapeutic value as messing about in an old fashioned darkroom.
Unfortunately I have a crowded house full of children and pets and no room for chemical developing.
Fortunately, if we go back a little further in time, we find we have no need for one! 🙂
Cyanotypes were developed in 1842 by an English scientist with the rather distinguished name of John Frederick William Herschal. At the time, they weren't terribly popular for images, because of the deep blue colour, but became very popular for reproducing technical drawings – or 'blue prints'. Personally, I prefer the vibrant, rich blue to the dull brown other methods produced, but this didn't fit with the Victorian aesthetic.
On the surface its a very simple method. Its requires only 2 chemicals, Ammonium iron (III) citrate and Potassium hexacyanoferrate (III), that are separately mixed with water 24 hours before required and combined just before use. The chosen paper is coated in low light and left to dry in the dark. A negative or object is then placed on top of a sheet of sensitised paper, the entire thing is placed into a contact frame, and exposed to sunlight for a predetermined time, then rinsed.
The finished images are a stunning deep, rich, Prussian blue.
However, like many things worth knowing, it takes a day to learn and a lifetime to master!
Firstly there is the question of which paper to use. It needs to be sturdy enough to withstand soaking and washing, unbleached so it doesn't effect the colour and acid free. Texture also looks good – in my opinion. Personally i like 'Fabriano F5' but other suggestions are 'Arches Watercolour watercolour cold press', 'Arches Platine' and Fabriano F4. All have different qualities and show a different range of colours, so a period of experimentation is needed to find a paper that meets you expectations and artistic vision.
Once you have decided on the paper you will need a negative. The snag here is that contact printing produces a print the same size as the negative you use – no enlargers in this process!
Now, if you are fortunate to have worked on large format film cameras, you may have some negatives laying around that are just perfect to pop into a printing frame, but most of us have to improvise. The easiest way is to make a digital negative in Photoshop, resize it and print onto acetate. I found this VERY frustrating and tried different printers and acetates before I got anything that was anywhere near acceptable. The alternative is to make paper negatives. I have a friend who is great at making these, but mine were a disaster and far too dense.
Finally you need to do a test strip, just like in the ol' darkroom, marking off exposure times.
Vintage contact print frames are lovely (in my opinion) but smaller than we are now used to – remember the bit about being the same size as the negative?
There are a few makers of larger new contact frames – but these tend to be very expensive! However, a clip frame make an affordable modern alternative. Its not as good – but, if you have done a test strip, is a workable alternative.
Obviously, you don't have to stick to negatives – you can follow in the footsteps of Anna Atkins and make botanical studies as I have below, or use any solid objects!
Its very therapeutic to sit in the sun sipping tea, beer, wine, Pimms or whatever you fancy…watching your negative develop. 'Mindfulness' is a current catchphrase – but totally sums up the process, as i quietly sat, totally absorbed with the paper changing colour in front of me.
Seriously, you have to try it as an alternative to sitting in front of a screen!
When it is cooked, just rinse it in running water for 15 minutes.
And thats it…or is it?
The Prussian blue finish is wonderfully rich….but if its not quite your thing you can bleach or tone them. Amongst the most common domestic toning ingredients are tea, coffee and wine – although the list is almost endless!
Unfortunately, instant coffee is recommended for this process (yuk), and I had drunk all the red wine – so this image is toned with tea 🙂
I'm now working with cyanotypes on wood and fabric …and fascinated by cyanotypes on glass.
More posts to follow!

By Will Reisman, @WillReisman
With bus reliability levels that far exceed agency goals, SamTrans prides itself on maintaining its fleet of buses. But even the best mechanics in the world can't solve every issue if the agency is stocked with vehicles that are well past their useful life.
That's why it's important for SamTrans to restock its fleet with new vehicles, providing its customers with state-of-the-art buses that are comfortable, clean and spacious. On Wednesday, the agency's Board of Directors moved toward accomplishing those goals by agreeing to purchase 50 new diesel buses.
Approved unanimously by the board, the $25.4 million purchase will introduce brand new low-floor 40-foot buses to the SamTrans rolling stock. The vehicles, which are set to be introduced into service in 2017, will replace some 2003 buses that are aging out of the fleet. . The replacement of the buses keeps to standards set by the Federal Transit Administration and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
Part of a five-year contract that was originally approved by the Board of Directors in January 2014, the new buses will be manufactured by Gillig, which has a local plant across the Bay in Hayward. Funding for the bus purchase has already been allocated in the SamTrans Capital Budget, with state and federal sources helping to pay for the acquisition.
Along with assuring that its fleet of today remains reliable and dependable, the SamTrans Board of Directors made a commitment to the future at the agency's meeting on Wednesday. The board approved a request to seek $949,523 in funding from the California Low Carbon Transportation Operations Program for the potential procurement of electric buses. While electric buses are still several years away from being used on a full-time basis at public transportation agencies, the funding request will allow SamTrans to investigate the potential uses of the emerging technology.

NIA report looks at pros and cons of aging
It's a funny thing about aging. There is no magic switch where you go from middle-age to senior status. It's not like you're sharp and alert one day and then you can't remember where you placed your keys the next.
That never happens. Absent dementia or Alzheimer's, aging is a process from youth to old age. A recent article from the National Institutes on Aging, looks at not on the cons of aging, but refreshingly, also the pros of old age.
Here's a few of the downsides.
- Increased difficulty finding words and recalling names
- More problems with multi-tasking
- Mild decreases in the ability to pay attention
It was the pros that caught my attention however. Simply put, we're wiser from experience and you have the insights to match.
We may forget few things but we can…
- Learn new things
- Create new memories
- Improve vocabulary and language skills
While many worry about succumbing to dementia and / or Alzheimer's in their sunset years, the reality is that aging is all in how you look at it.
I'm looking forward to the day when I'm wise enough to tell everyone else why they're wrong! And also remember why I probably shouldn't!

- The LeVallee campaign called me to tell me that the Erie County GOP is endorsing her. She'll still be in the Democratic Primary, but will also be on the Republican line. Hmm. That could be interesting. Here's more from the Buffalo News.
- The Erie County DA is now investigating the accident on Chippewa involving Marshawn Lynch's SUV, according to WGRZ-TV. Erie County DA Frank Clark is saying that they have evidence that Marshawn was on Chippewa that night. But they're still looking into who was driving.

Congratulations to the staff, faculty, and volunteers that make the school?s Economics & Pastoral Leadership Project possible. We?re excited to announce that this important endeavor has now completed the first phase of its work toward the end of student debt.
Since the project?s launch in the fall of 2014, the school has been hard at work gathering research from students, alumni, staff, and pastors in the community?gathering quantitative and qualitative data around educational debt. That research phase was intricate and required the collaboration of all of the school?s internal and external supporters. For students in theological education going into ministerial work, financial worries can be a real burden and the implications of educational debt can be far-reaching. The school?s Economics & Pastoral Leadership Project was designed as a part of a national initiative funded by the Lilly Foundation, Inc., to get a better understanding of the student debt burden in seminaries in particular, to ultimately provide practical, concrete resources for students to be equipped for personal and professional financial planning.?
In the spring of 2015, the project invited students to a special dinner where they discussed the issue of seminary debt with one another, Dean Markuly, and Thanh-Thuong Chuche?an alum of the school and also staff program manager of project. It was an evening of rich discussion and sharing of resources. Thanks to all of the pastoral leaders who participated in phase one of the project by completing online surveys throughout the fall of 2014 and winter of 2015. Congratulations are also due to Pastor Paul Anderson, winner of the free IPad drawing!
As the second phase of the project begins now in the fall, the school?s Curriculum Development Team aligned specifically with the project, and the Financial Literacy & Management in Ministry Council have been collaborating with Seattle University?s Albers School of Business and Economics to develop a curriculum for students to learn more about financial literacy. The school expects to announce the launch of the curriculum in 2016. Stay tuned for more updates as the work progresses!
Many thanks to all who have been hard at work bringing the project into this next phase.?

Opening Audacity for the First Time
Open Audacity (Start --> All Programs --> Audacity). The program icon looks like this:
|Click the TV to watch the Introduction video.
Audacity: Quick Overview
The first time you start Audacity the Project Window will open in its default size and location; the Device Toolbar is turned off, all other toolbars are visible and docked. Here is a view of the Project Window showing the menu bar, toolbars, timeline and an empty track panel - no audio has been added yet.
The ruler above the tracks measures time. Depending on zooming the ruler may span minutes of audio or give a 'close up view' of a few seconds.
Audio Tracks
Anything that is added to your project will be placed inside a track container, underneath the timeline of the project. Empty new tracks can be added using the Tracks Menu. A track looks like this:
Project Files
Audacity creates PROJECT FILES. Project files collect up all the little files you create as you build your radio show and describe how you want them to fit together.
When you are done with your project, you will EXPORT your project to a completed audio file (usually MP3) that you can listen to with any media player (iTunes, Windows Media, etc).

Our Santa
Letters highly personalised and come with a FREE door hanger.
Santa mentions pets, friends, most wanted Christmas present and
much more. You can even add a special PS message where Santa will say
something very specific about the child. You can also have the
letter signed off as Santa Claus or Father Christmas. A variable
mailing date means you can choose when you want the magical communication
to arrive. You can choose from the many story templates that best
suit your child from 1st Christmas to grown ups - Santa has a
letter to suit everyone. You can add additional gifts as you progress
the booking procedure including a Personalised DVD Message, Santa's Magic
Snow, Cookie Mix and/or an exclusive "Born At The North Pole" Elf.
Are you sure it's due? The date you submitted with your order
is a SEND date. In other words that is the day we post it. Although
they are always mailed on this day it can sometimes take up to
4 days for the to arrive in the UK (though the vast majority arrive
the next day). For arts of Europe it can take a week and
for outside Europe up to 12 days. Please note that the Santa Letter
Special and the Santa Letter Deluxe will not fit through a letter
box so there will need to be someone in to take delivery. If an
attempt at delivery has been made it maybe that there is a parcel
waiting at your local post office (they don't always leave a note
in our experience) or left it behind the gate/shed/with a neighbour.
Please check these scenarios first..
Just attempt
to long at My Account
and if you get your password wrong you will be asked a question
about a previous order and if you answer correctly we will log
you straight in.
We are very
sorry when this happens. We know this can be frustrating for everybody
and potentially distressing for the child whose letter hasn't
arrived. Sometimes this happens even though we ALWAYS mail them
together. We advise hiding the letters (if possible) until all
letters have arrived safely. If you are still concerned after
your send date plus 4 days has passed (excluding weekends) then
please contact us.

Today, our new webserver, plantsmallrnagenes.psu.edu, became operational! The aim of this site is to provide an easy to use interface to query and download our annotations of small RNA-producing genes in various plant species. The site includes a full genome-browser, powered by JBrowse, bulk data downloads for small RNA-seq alignments and annotations tracks (based on ShortStack analyses), as well as tools to enable specific queries of individual loci of interest.
At present, there are data for just one species, the moss Physcomitrella patens, in support of our ongoing studies of the small RNAs in this species. In the coming months, however, look for the addition of more plant species, more data, and more tools with which to analyze the data.
Suggestions and comments always welcome .. happy

JEDDAH: A group of Indian expatriate workers met with the Minister of Overseas Indians' Affairs, Vayalar Ravi, here recently and presented a memorandum seeking his support to introduce interest-free banking and financial services in India.
"Minister Ravi offered his support for and commitment to any Interest-free financing projects in India for expatriate Indians which comes under the purview of the Indian constitution," said Abdul Aziz V.K. of Al-Hayat School who is also a member of the group. The group, which includes members of the overseas committee of International Seminar on Islamic Finance, invited the minister to inaugurate the seminar to be opened in Kochi on Oct. 4.
The three-day seminar is organized by the Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI), an affiliate of Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank (IDB), and the Islamic University in Shantapuram, Kerala, and will be attended by experts from Saudi Arabia and other countries.
The minister was briefed on the importance of interest-free banking in a country like India to achieve greater financial inclusion, bringing in large sections of the excluded population into the formal financial system.
"The committee members discussed with the minister about how the Interest-free finance is now being viewed as a serious and viable alternative to modern capitalist systems bereaved of ethical principles and humanitarian considerations," Aziz said.
The group included K. A. Abdul Rashid (Saudi Investment Bank), K. M. Mustafa (Amtech Computers) and O.P.R. Kutty (Financial Controller, A.A. Al-Turky Group) – Arabnews
