Birth Place: Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England
John Vincent Hurt is a 5' 9" (1.75 m) English actor that was born on January 22, 1940. He was born in coal mining village Shirebrook, which is near Chesterfield, in Derbyshire, England. His mother Phyllis is a one-time actress and an engineer. His father Arnould Herbert Hurt is a mathematician and Anglican clergyman. Arnould served as vicar of Shirebrook, a vicar at St John's Church in Sunderland, Perpetual Curate of Holy Trinity Church and vicar of St. Stephen's Church in Woodville, Derbyshire. John is the youngest of three children and spent much of his childhood by himself. John's father is the founder for 1st Woodville (St. Stephen's) Scout Group that still exist today. His parents were so strict that he could not go to the movie theater although he lived right across from it. His parents found the neighborhood children to be "too common" so John was not allowed to play with them. His older brother Br. Anselm (birth name Michael) converted to Roman Catholic and became a monk and writer at Glenstal Abbey.
John Hurt began to love acting while attending Anglican St Michael's Preparatory School in Otford, Kent at eight years old. He played a girl in his first acting role at the school show of The Bluebird by Maurice Maeterlinck. Donald Cormack was the Head Teacher and previously the Senior Headmaster at the school, Cormack sexually abused John. Donald would remove his false teeth and stick his tongue in John's mouth amongst other things. John's family moved to Old Clee Church in Grimsby, Lincolnshire when John was 12 years old. John failed the entrance exam to the school that his brother was attending and was sent to boarding school, Christ's Hospital School in Lincoln. He studied art at Grimsby Art School (renamed: East Coast School of Art & Design) at the age of 17. He won a scholarship at Saint Martin's School of Art in London in 1959 for an Art Teacher's Diploma (ATD). He did not have enough money although he had a scholarship, so he took nude pictures of his friends and sold them with this friend's approval. He trained at RADA in 1960 after winning another scholarship.

The Little Scarecrow Boy by Margaret Wise Brown is a fun read aloud full of lots of rhyme and repetition. It provides opportunities for talking about not giving up and working hard to do your best. A young scarecrow boy wants to be like his dad and go to the cornfield to scare away the crows. Every night his dad teaches him how to make fierce faces but in the morning tells him he needs to stay home and grow. One day, the little scarecrow boy braves the cornfield and tries to scare away the crows on his own. The ending to the story is unexpected, but heartwarming for children and parent alike!
The best part of reading this story is making the six fierce faces to scare away the crows! You and your child will thoroughly enjoy imitating the faces in the book. Are you fierce enough to scare a crow …… or maybe each other?

A closer look at the hurricane line of code:
I rarely approach the bible codes this way, but I decided to look for the word "hurricane," near the text where the rest of the Balance Bible Code is found (Isaiah 46). The word occurred once, (transliterated). It occurs at 23-letter skips. (It spans 644 [23 x 28] letters.) (The word is spelt without mother vowels. This does not change the reading. Much of the Bible is written this way.) Fearfully, it is found descending close to where the Sheol Bible Code descends.
The Sheol Bible Code is part of the Balance Bible Code. See below images. Both the Sheol-code and this hurricane-snippet of code are found below the picture code of the 'tree/balance.'
The 'code' reads poetically for emphasis, (as does the text in which it is encoded!):
"It will happen! You will be numbered! Woe! They will wither before me! A hurricane will kill; my great (hurricane) on the festival."
Importantly, the key phrase, "A hurricane will kill; my great (hurricane) on the festival." begins its reading in Isaiah 46:9, which says:
This tiny snippet of code contains five distinct prophecies.
And so, hurricane Ivan made itself known even as darkness fell upon the gulf coast (Sept. 15, 2004). This was the very hour of the Jewish New Year.
"It will happen...A hurricane will kill; my great (hurricane) on the festival."
Numeric and Messiah: (Please note: the numeric of this code has been expanded as the code was expanded. The code actually spans 644 letters, or 645 inclusive, which is half-1290, (Daniel 12). The below numeric is still accurate, though incomplete. The second portion of the code that reads "A hurricane will kill; my great (hurricane) on the festival" does span 483 letters.)
The bible code can read: "A hurricane will kill My Great One on the Feast." (That is, the Feast of Passover.)
Moreover, the code is at 23-letter skips, which brings to mind the 2300 of Daniel 8:14. The 2300 is divided in half as 1150 x 2. It happens that it was exactly 1150 x 3 years ago to the very day that the plagues of Moses commenced upon Egypt! (See 1260 days Bible Prophecy Website. Bible code spans 483 [23 x 21] letters in total. See Daniel 9:24-27.) The half-year of plagues ended with the Passover and exodus out of Egypt. In the New Testament, Passover is repeatedly identified as simply, "The Feast." (The code also calls it, "The Feast".) Jesus (Yeshua), God's one and only Son, the substitute Passover Lamb, was also crucified on Passover.
This is the reason why the code implies that the hurricane will kill 'like he was killed.' For, the bible code can also read, (beginning from the word, "like me.")
Thus the code is applied to both Hurricane Ivan and to Jesus, with Ivan simply a symbol of His own death. King Jesus was slain by God's storm of wrath upon the cross for us on our behalf---when noon became as night. The is the central message of the Balance-Lamp Bible Code. All codes ultimately point to Jesus, for without Him all is vain.
"A Year of Time."
Negatively speaking, the sheol (hell) aspect of the Balance Bible Code (with which this hurricane snippet is aligned, also speaks about the repeat of a "year of time." This agrees with the idea of the "New Year" of the hurricane-code, since New Years day is a day to "remember" the past year. (The letter-years also bring this out.)
Those that reject Jesus as Messiah and King will perish and go to hell, as recorded in Ezekiel 9. This does not mean that all who died in the hurricane went to hell. Those that perish in hurricanes, (or anything else), but who have made Jesus their king ascend to heaven. They have crossed the river from death to life on God's Balances of Light.
Another hurricane (Jeannie) was birthed on Rosh Hashanah. Will God again spare multitudes as He did in the other hurricanes? We pray so. One thing for sure, God is warning that a day of reckoning is coming when He will remove His hand of protection from North America and bring down upon her the full fury of His wrath. It is time to place oneself on the Lord's side!
Quoted form the very last verses of the mene-tekel bible-code riddle:
Hurricane Jeannie kills
Endnote: (Please note: the numeric of this code has been expanded as the code was expanded. The code actually spans 644 letters, or 645 inclusive, which is half-1290, (Daniel 12). The below numeric is still accurate, though incomplete. The second portion of the code that reads "A hurricane will kill; my great (hurricane) on the festival" does span 483 letters.)
The code is 483 letters long (23 x
21---for 483, see Daniel 9:24-27 and Revelation 12). I have left this part of the code to the last
since many (especially non-Jews) would find this odd phrase baffling, and
thus too time
consuming to explain. The full snippet of code read:
(Thus, the code backs up to the picture-code of the 'Balance/Lamp' by 8 more spaces than what is shown in the first image. This brings it to the bottom of the 'river'.)
This phrase, "They will wither before me!" can also read as, "They circumcised me!" This phrase links the hurricane-code to the "Axe-to-the-root" code that similarly reads: "And they circumcised Jesus!" That code was found a day before Hurricane Charley hit, and back then was applied to hurricane Charley and to Christ. Please read the article for yourself to see the connection; however, here is a quote from that article to give you an idea of what we mean:
Thus compare, "They will circumcise Jesus!" with "They will circumcised me!" Clearly the two codes go together, especially since it is on the record that I applied the first phrase ("The will circumcised Jesus!") to hurricane Charley already.
The axe handle reads in a circle, "And so He was circumcised/cut off," with the length of the axe reading, "A Savior." Thus, together it reads, "The Savior (Jesus) was circumcised/cut off." However, it may also read as, "They will circumcise me," (using the blade of the axe to spell "me"). This rendering agrees exactly to the spelling in the hurricane code. (I take its tense as prophetic.) Even the center of the first rod, reading around in a circle, also reads: "He/They will circumcise me!" spelt. This, along with the incredible numeric, makes the connection between the two lines of code reasonably certain.
Moreover, I wrote in that article that Jesus was "cut off," as in Daniel 9:24-27. There it speaks about the 483 + 3.5 + 3.5. It happens that the hurricane-code spans 483 letters, and the axe-code spanned 3.5 (x 10) letters, while the sheol-code spanned 1260, which is 3.5 years, with another 3.5 years (1260) overlapped. (The letter-years [as AD 430 - 478] clarify this even further.) The point is that the two codes agree numerically in every detail.)
Hurricane Francis struck Florida the day Ivan was birthed as a hurricane. That day was 70 days after I first discovered the Balance bible code, and that very day on the 360 calendar was 1260 +1335 years after Ezekiel completed laying on his side 430 days to bear the sins of the house of Judah and Israel, (Ezek. 4). (Read Isaiah 46:1-6 of the surface text of the balance-bible-code to understand the connection of "bearing up".)

Summary of hurricanes of notoriety and timeline

The first month in the calendar year, January, is rightly named after the mythical Roman god Janus, god of gates and doors, god of beginnings and endings; interestingly, Janus is represented with a double-faced head, each looking in opposite directions - one head looking backwards - reflecting on what has gone, the other looking forward, towards the future.
The CE sector, for its part, needs to look ahead. Looking back, it would seem, everything possible for a new growth story has been done, put in place. Looking forward is the only way; the pace may be painfully slow but is expected to be steady. Over the last two years, riding stormy waves with much patience and prudence, many OEMs, component and aggregate suppliers have been preparing for the much awaited upturn which at present, seems to be just a matter of time. They have been investing in innovation, diversifying into new product lines, optimising spares logistics and service networks, and even venturing into untapped overseas markets.
The A T Kearney report indicates that infrastructure spending is expected to grow from 7.2 per cent of GDP in 2012 to 9 per cent by 2017, which augurs well for the CE sector. The industry vouches for a phenomenal growth, provided its full potential is realised; it is expected that a healthy growth of 20-25 per cent over the next few years will take the $4-billion CE industry to $16 billion by 2017, and probably to $21 billion by 2020.
However, to reach there, the growth curve that has been stymied by multiple issues needs to move smoothly and within stipulated timeframes. What the industry is looking at, are the following aspects:
On the positive side, several reforms and projects initiated by the government to put the economy back on the growth trajectory, need to be acknowledged and appreciated. The Environment Minster has already cleared 70 projects which includes Posco's greenfield project; the Cabinet Committee on Investments has fast-tracked big-ticket infra projects; the Prime Minister has shortlisted 215 major projects with bank funding of about Rs 7 lakh crore for the PMG to speed up the implementation.
Six years ago when we launched this magazine, the industry was apprehensive about the availability of enough informative material for a magazine with a monthly frequency. Now, we have a thirteenth edition brought out this year to commemorate the completion of the 6th year of the magazine! During this period, India has emerged as a sourcing hub for international majors and many have expanded their plant capacities further. 'Getting ready for the Upturn' is the theme for this special annual issue and there are articles by an eminent list of CEOs sharing their experience and understanding.
Back to Janus, the Roman god who also symbolises a transition from the primitive to the civilised. That transition will be achieved by the CE industry as soon as an able leader comes to the fore post the general elections this year and energises the infrastructure mandate of the country.

Cantering into city hall sporting a short sleeved button down shirt with pictures of vintage cars on it, Jasper City Mayor Mike Lout, in a specially convened session of the city council on Monday, swiped off his baseball cap, took to the microphone, and in the time it takes to boil a three minute egg, ended the careers of two cops by publicly firing them, gaveled the proceedings to a close, and still had a minute to spare.
Reading aloud from the council's executive session, Council Member Hazel Johnson made a motion that Ryan Cunningham be terminated from the Jasper Police Department. When the motion was seconded without discussion, The People's House in Jasper City Texas erupted with a resounding, "Aye," when it was was put to a vote for those in favor. Despite his casual appearance, Lout was all about the city's business, and instructed the thronged gallery that, "the crowd does not have a vote in this," and warned the audience that, "this is a serious matter." Hushing itself to a grumble, Jasper City residents listened with restrained enthusiasm as the motion to terminate Cunningham's partner, Officer Ricky Grissom was subsequently unanimously confirmed, and then burst into applause.
Reportedly arrested for failure to pay an outstanding fine in the amount of $100, Keyarika Diggles called her mom for the money. Two panda sized police officers, Ricky Grissom and Ryan Cunningham loped around the station waiting for Diggles to finish her call. Without warning, Grissom unexpectedly ends the call himself, and hangs up on Diggles' mother. An agitated Diggles then throws down the receiver, and an argument between her and Grissom ensues. Within seconds, Grissom's partner Cunningham, lumbers up behind Diggles, grabs her by the hair and violently cracks her head up against a nearby counter. A stunned Diggles falls to the floor under the weight of both officers, gets cuffed and dragged by her feet into her cell.
On his first attempt at dragging Diggles, Cunningham grabs a hold of her foot, and like a pratfall comedy, is hurled backwards when her shoe pops off, and sent tumbling down the dark corridor behind him until falling flat on his back side à la vintage Fatty Arbuckle; it's the Keystone cops with buzz cuts and anger issues. The whole incident is captured on surveillance video, which I guess both officers were aware existed. Matter of fact, the whole PD knew about the incident and the video a full three weeks before anyone on the city council was even notified. Guess no one counted on the video getting leaked to Yahoo News?
Once it was out there, the mayor and entire city council acted swiftly, and transparently, and judging by the reactions at city hall that morning, inoculated themselves against critics who point at the incident as just another example of Jasper City's pervasive racism.
Home of the infamous 1998 case of James Byrd, Jr., a black man who was lashed to the back of a pick up truck by white supremacists and dragged until his head snapped off, Jasper, known as "The Jewel of the Forest," has been a city plagued with racial divisiveness for decades. As recently as 2011, when Lout publicly opposed appointing Rodney Peasrson as Jasper's first black chief of police, the political imbroglio became racially tinged. When it was all said and done, two black council members lost their seats in recall elections and Pearson was ultimately fired. Lout himself, survived a recall election in May of 2012, and was only just re-elected and sworn in for his final term two days prior to this event unfolding. "I don't give a damn if it was two black cops and a white woman or, female cops or white cops, I didn't like what I saw," said Lout in a phone interview with The Surveillance Report. "What was on the council's mind going into this, was that the woman was already in custody. She wasn't going any where; there are five doors, and they're all electronically sealed, it didn't need to happen this way," said Lout.

This is a really odd story from Russia… apparently the nation's "biggest spammer" of e-mail was brutally murdered in his apartment. It sounds like the kind of story that gets forwarded over and over on e-mail itself… but I guess it's legit.
An excerpt of the story from MosNews:
"Vardan Kushnir, notorious for sending spam to each and every citizen of Russia who appeared to have an e-mail, was found dead in his Moscow apartment on Sunday, Interfax reported Monday. He died after suffering repeated blows to the head."

February/March 2014
Pasta with Roasted Garlic Sauce, Arugula, and Walnuts
Roasted garlic in the time it takes to cook pasta? Believe it.
Why This Recipe Works
We throw garlic into almost every pasta dish here at the test kitchen, but for a dish based on the potent stuff, we decided to roast the garlic to mellow sweetness. Instead of waiting the hour-plus it can take to roast garlic in the oven, we brown 50 whole cloves in oil and then poach them in savory chicken broth and sweet, tangy balsamic vinegar. The best part? The whole thing takes less than 15 minutes. After pureeing the mixture to a silky sauce, we toss it with the pasta. Arugula and toasted walnuts bulk up the dish, and we like to serve it with Pecorino Romano for an earthy, salty finish.

Things You Should Know Before Buying Crossovers
September 4, 2017
One of the most preferred cars by people these days are the mid-sized and larger crossovers. The best part about the crossovers is that they come in various sizes and price options. All the leading car manufacturers like Honda, Jeep, Mazda, etc., have crossover cars for sale. The mid-sized crossovers come suited for a small family of four people. If you have a large family, then you can invest your money in a large crossover that is offered with three-row seating, better engine power, dynamics and this comes at a higher price than the compact crossovers.
No matter you are looking to buy a mid-sized or a large crossover, you need to be looking for the following things when buying the crossover.
- Exteriors
If you want the car to look stylish, then you need to give more attention to the exterior look and design of the car. The crossovers are designed in such a way that they look appealing to a wide range of consumers. The designs, these days are quite divergent. There is a conscious effort from the manufacturers to give due importance to the exterior styling of the car in order to impress the buyers.
- Engine and its power
With the car platforms designed and made to suit any car type, you will find crossovers to be coming out with four or six-cylinder power trains. The compact crossovers come with four-cylinder power trains with tow ratings of under 2,000 pounds. If you are looking for more power and high power, then you need to invest in the three-row seating models that come with six-cylinder power trains and tow ratings of over 5,000 pounds. The crossovers offer better handling on the cross-country roads. You need to choose the crossovers that will be best suited for the place you live in.
- Safety features
It is highly important to look into the safety features of the crossover that you want to buy. There is no doubt that you need to look into the active safety and the passive safety offered in the car. The active safety includes the breaking type and its performance and the car handling characteristics. The passive safety is to see if the car has undergone collision testing tests and whether or not it meets the regulations laid by the state or the country. Some of the advanced safety features offer in crossovers these days is adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane keeping assists, etc.

My family lives in Lacombe and my husband is a firefighter in Red Deer, we are both avid motorcycle riders and are so very touched by the support the motorcycle clubs provided during the fires in Fort Mac.
We had heard stories from the crews that were on the ground in Fort Mac of the kindness that your group had shown them during that time. The first hot meals they received was from you and your volunteers. Until yesterday when my husband and I came across your video on YouTube no one knew who to thank, so please pass along this email to anyone who was part of the motorcycle community that helped support the firefighters in Fort Mac.
Firefighting is a way of life in our family, my husband is a firefighter and so is my brother inlaw and my 12 year old son has already said that that's what he wants to be when he grows up. It is a sacrifice that many don't understand, the sleepless nights of worrying or the dreaded phone call in the middle of the night we all prey to never hear. To know that there are people in the community that rally to support them is something that I am so very grateful for!
Again many thanks to all of you! You walked into that fire with our husbands and brothers when everyone was running away!
We ride with the IAFF 6th District Motorcycle Group and I would like to organize and thank you bike rally and BBQ this summer for the firefighters in Alberta and would like to extend the invitation to all the motorcycle clubs and members that supported the brothers and sisters in Fort McMurray and especially the Nomads Red Deer Chapter as they were so critical in the relief efforts. We are in the early planning stages and I wanted to see if you would be able to help put the word out and see if that is something that's something we could make happen.
Kind Regards,
Janeen Wawin

Must Read Monday: Books About Math!
4 comments:
You shared some really great books! I had a great time reading about them! I really like the 'If I Were a Polygon' book, what a great way to introduce shapes!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your favorite math books, I learned about some new books from you!
Warmest Wishes,
Kindergarten Dragons
Hi Nicole,ReplyDelete
I am so glad you linked up with us!! I like your book selections. I have "One Hundred Hungry Ants" and years ago a parent made colored copies of the ants, cut them out and put them on velcro. It is an excellent visual to move the ants around when reading the story. I also love the shape books you shared. I have checked them out of the library, but do not personally own them - though I'd like to.
By the way, your blog design is adorable!
Kindergarten Planet
Thanks so much for linking up! First, the name The Primary Pineapple is so catchy and fun!! Love it! I definitely want to check out that book about fractions - I am always looking for fun books that explain them in a friendly way for younger learners. Thanks for sharing your recommendations!!ReplyDelete

Jonny Calypso – MacGyver (Plusquam Records)
What do we have here..? The uplifting pressure of this pulsating bass line and the warm chord sounds are clearly reminiscent of Progressive House. Whereas the sharp, driving percussions remind a solid Techno number… and so do the trippy lead melody and the subtle sound effects. Combining different elements and influences from various genres, Jonny Calypso creates an ingenious groove – and proves himself to be the MacGyver of electronic dance music production!
Born and grown up in a family of musicians, Jonny Calypso from South Germany has been into music since a long time. During his youth he used to play the drums and various keyboards, longing for a career in a Rock band or a Hip Hop combo. Later he used to DJ, playing various genres as well. Looking back at this history, it makes perfect sense that the productions of Jonny can best be described as an amalgamation of different styles, always picking the cherries from the cake to create something like a supreme tart from them…
The fresh, clubby and very modern style of MacGyver fits perfectly into the bags of Progressive House, Techno or even open-minded Progressive Trance DJs. The remix by Chris Source provides even more variation: He unrolls a very organic groove, the bass line getting sharper and nastier throughout the track. A feeling of understatement swings along the frequencies of this version, making it a mighty club tool with a great recognition factor.

Synaptosomal Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzyme Composition is Shifted Toward Aerobic Forms in Primate Brain Evolution
Publication Title
Brain Behavior and Evolution
Publication Date
Document Type
lactate dehydrogenase, strepsirrhines, haplorhines, brain, metabolism, synaptosome
Animal Sciences | Anthropology
With the evolution of a relatively large brain size in haplorhine primates (i.e. tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans), there have been associated changes in the molecular machinery that delivers energy to the neocortex. Here we investigated variation in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) expression andisoenzyme composition of the neocortex and striatum in primates using quantitative Western blotting and isoenzyme analysis of total homogenates and synaptosomal fractions. Analysis of isoform expression revealed that LDH in synaptosomal fractions from both forebrain regions shifted towards a predominance of the heart-type, aerobic isoform LDH-B among haplorhines as compared to strepsirrhines (i.e. lorises and lemurs), while in the total homogenate of the neocortex and striatum there was no significant difference in LDH isoenzyme composition between the primate suborders. The largest increase occurred in synapse-associated LDH-B expression inthe neocortex, with an especially remarkable elevation in the ratio of LDH-B/LDH-A in humans. The phylogenetic variation in the ratio of LDH-B/LDH-A was correlated with species-typical brain mass but not the encephalization quotient. A significant LDH-B increase in the subneuronal fraction from haplorhine neocortex and striatum suggests a relatively higher rate of aerobic glycolysis that is linked to synaptosomal mitochondrial metabolism. Our results indicate that there is a differential composition of LDH isoenzymes and metabolism in synaptic terminals that evolved in primates to meet increased energy requirements in association with brain enlargement.

Being left out
Vasilo peered through the telescope and immediately saw what the matter was.
There was a party going on – and Doctor Socks had not been invited.
That's right.
Doctor Socks: man of medicine, cinema legend and now purveyor of knitted footwear to the stars. Doctor Socks went to EVERY party. And yet – the telescope did not lie: there was definitely a gathering of people (= a party, surely) and Doctor Socks was not part of that gathering.
That meant one thing, and one thing only.
If Doctor Socks couldn't be part of the action then he would make it his business to spoil that action. Ha! They'd soon learn what it meant to leave him out.
'Vasilo!' he said, in sinister tones.
'Yes, sir,' replied Vasilo, in equally sinister tones. 'I know. We have work to do. I will collect the necessary.'
'Yes. I am going to need – my party outfit!'
'At once sir.'
And clutching the fire extinguisher, Vasilo clattered down the stairs.
Doctor Socks drew a chair up to his desk and started to make plans.

Every battlefield commander understands the strategic necessity of reliable intelligence. Winning battles depends on accurate understanding of enemies, their tactics and goals, weighing risks against potential damage, and deploying resources to mitigate or neutralize threats. Gathering information is just a starting point; more importantly, is any of it relevant or meaningful? Within all the chatter and noise, effective commanders discern the one percent of useful intelligence and follow through with action.
Every IT security professional knows that the battle to protect IT resources and data is fully engaged. In its 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report, Verizon registered 174 million compromised records for 2011, compared with 4 million compromised records reported in the 2010 findings. This suggests that cybercriminals – responsible in 98% of the cases – continued to automate and refine their attack methods.
The ongoing struggle to prevent hackers from breaching assets and malware from gaining a foothold requires a vulnerability management strategy that begins with a comprehensive measurement of security risk. Organizations must examine the entire IT stack, including the operating system, network, applications, and databases. The cycle of discovering assets, capturing and processing vulnerability data, identifying actual risks, testing and prioritizing mitigation tasks, and verifying effective controls grows more complex with every new technology that adds convenience but multiplies risk of a breach or incident. These new technologies include dynamic, virtualized environments and services outside traditional physical IT infrastructures, such as virtualized, cloud-based services and social networking.
Rapid7 addresses the need for dynamic, in-depth risk management with Security Risk Intelligence, a holistic approach to minimizing risk (Figure 1). It is based on a unified solution set that includes vulnerability management, penetration testing, and best practices. Security Risk Intelligence helps organizations detect vulnerabilities, prioritize risks, and validate threats in a closed-loop system.
Beginning with an understanding of the need for effective risk management followed by a definition of the elements of risk, this discussion presents the advantages and strategic value of Rapid7 Security Risk Intelligence for your environment and illustrates its operation.

Posted by Edsel Worsham on 16th May 2017
The hat arrived before I thought it be delivered. The fit was dead on, no problems. I finally have a hat with a taller crown and broader brim. The quality of the hat means I will get many years of wear out of it. I am very well pleased the the hat.
Posted by Tim on 26th Apr 2016
The hat is perfect love it no problems at all my wife gave this to me as a birthday present
Posted by "Dr. Batman" on 29th Mar 2015
I love hats and own a Resistol cowboy hat in traditional cattleman style, a Borsalino fedora, an Orvis squashible felt travel hat, and a few others. I added this John Wayne style hat because I like the Duke and because I wanted one in silver belly color.
The style is great, the hat is too. My head is more oval than round so I gave it plenty of steam from the shower to shape it and then wore it while it cooled. Perfect.
This store is outstanding. Wonderful prices, good selection, fast shipping, and excellent customer service. I am already a repeat customer. Highly recommended.
Posted by bel on 15th Nov 2014
I purchased this cowboy hat for my husband's birthday. He loved it! Says he won't wear anything else. The hat was received in record time. Once again thanks for everything. Will purchase again in near future.
All prices are in USD

GREAT VALLEY – RELAY FOR LIFE June 3 Teams from all over the Main Line will gather to raise money for the American Cancer Society. This is not a run, nor a race, but rather a demonstration of the ongoing fight against cancer as each team has at least one member circling the track at all times during the event. The day opens with guest speakers and then a celebratory lap for the survivors before each of the teams takes to the track. Throughout the event, teams set up stations where they host fundraisers, selling food, crafts, games, etc. When not taking a turn working the team booth or walking the track, relayers enjoy booths provided by other teams as well as music and emcee-led games and activities before nightfall. The event closes with announcements of top individual and team fundraisers, followed by another speaker and/ or performance. Then all in attendance take to the track illuminated with luminaire purchased in honor of survivors, in support of those battling now or in memory of those who cancer took too soon. It is a beautiful yet solemn reminder of just how many lives are touched by cancer, and why the cancer society's mission is so important.

An individual who becomes a guardian of property on behalf of a person who is deemed to be incapable may have questions about responsibilities. An individual who is unable to handle daily tasks such as paying bills, buying food and making other financial transactions may need a guardian to manage these issues on his or her behalf. A guardian assists in protecting the interests of the person whose property is being managed, but the guardian also protects the interests of those on the other ends of those financial transactions by ensuring that obligations are met.
Figuring out the finer points of taxes with an inheritance
Ontario residents may be interested in an explanation of the tax implications for different types of inherited assets. Either the estate of the owner of the assets or the beneficiary may face taxes depending on the type of inheritance and the instructions to the executor. In some cases, a decedent's taxes will be paid by the estate, provided that the executor of the estate was directed to do so. The beneficiary would then inherit these funds as taxpaid money, and no tax would be owed.
Estate planning basics in Canada
While experts recommend that everyone undertake thorough estate planning, it is especially important for Ontario residents with children, substantial assets or a business. Proper estate planning ensures not only that someone's wishes will be carried out upon their death, but it also makes life easier for the executor and their heirs.
The importance of trustworthy fiduciaries
Ontario residents undertaking their estate planning would do well to make sure they appoint effective and trustworthy fiduciaries. In estate planning, a fiduciary is someone appointed to handle various aspects of a person's estate. A fiduciary might be a trustee, a lawyer or anyone else entrusted with the job of managing the person's affairs. While some people associate estate planning with leaving instructions about managing their assets after their death, estate planning also involves appointing people to manage one's medical and financial decisions if the person alive but incapable of making those decisions for himself or herself.

Exclusive Pumping is No Joke
Before the boys were born, I knew I wanted to give breastfeeding a better shot than I did with the girls. Well, I gave it what I had and here we are. Exclusively pumping. I BF Elliott in the morning, and sometimes at night depending on who's crying but most of their breast milk comes out of a bottle, and not straight from the cow.
Today I realized that what I'm doing is almost harder than if I were just BFing. I have to feed both of the boys, and then still pump, wash all the bottles, wash all the pump parts, all of which takes time. A lot of time. It sucks when the boys are in the swing, bouncy, or pack n play out of reach crying and I'm sitting on my couch pumping. I can get up and go get them, but can't bend at the waist with my pumps on because the milk will spill out. Some days I have to put on a movie or a show that the girls like to watch while I'm pumping just so I can keep them from pulling the tubes out of the pump 100x. I don't like to have them watch tv, but sometimes it has to be done.
It takes time and energy to feed your baby in whichever way you choose. Breastfeeding takes time, bottle feeding, formula feeding, pumping..... Every mom has to choose what works best for the babies and best for the whole family. Some days I wonder why I am attached to my pump for roughly 15-20 hours/week. But then when I think about it, its like my job. Right now I am a SAHM and my job is to take care of my babies. I do have the time to pump, and right now its part of my routine and I don't hate it as much as I did when I was trying to work full time, pump, and take care of my girls after work.
I am proud of the fact that I am making at least 75% of the milk they need. I wish it were 100%, but its not, and I have no idea how I can do anything else to increase my supply. (Besides pumping 10x/day which I really don't have time for!!) Its been hard to say the least, but I'm glad that I made this decision, and that I am going to keep on with it for as long as I can stand it. Perhaps I am still holding out for some miracle in that both of the boys will breastfeed and we will live happily ever after, but I really know that's not going to happen. It is what it is, and perhaps by keeping hope alive, I won't just up and decide to quit anytime soon.
And just so I remember how crazy things are, here's an example of what our daily schedule looks like with all of the crazy feeding/pumping.
6:00 a.m. Bottle Feed Oliver
6:30: Wake Elliott up, breastfeed Elliott
6:45: pump and go back to bed
8:00: Get breakfast started (Steel cut oats take 30 minutes!) Get girls out of bed and feed girls breakfast
9:30 bottle feed Oliver, bottle feed Elliott and pump
11:00: Put girls down for a nap
12:00-Pump & do mindless activity such as surf the internet or watch tv. I find I get more ounces out of pumping if I can do it while I'm distracted!
1:00- bottle feed Oliver and Elliott
1:30: Take a nap or get something done around the house
2:00/2:30- Get the girls up from their nap, cook and feed lunch.
3:30: Pump again
4:00: Bottle feed Oliver and Elliott
6:00: Figure out what's for dinner!! Sometimes I cook and sometimes Brian cooks
6:30: Pump yet again!
7:00: Feed the girls dinner
7:30-8:00: put the girls to bed, bottle feed the boys and rock them (or nurse) to sleep.
9:30-10:00: Pump again! Sometimes I try to pump for an hour so that I don't feel guilty sleeping for 8 hours!
3:00 a.m. I have an alarm set every day for 3:15 a.m. so that I can pump... most days I turn it off, but some nights I get up.
This is obviously a rough timeline for what goes on in our day. I try to pump at least six times/day but sometimes that doesn't happen depending on what we have going on. And there you have it!

I have to say I agree with you, pumping and bottle feeding has to be the most work of any feeding option. Yes breastfeeding takes time and yes bottle feeding takes time, but you are actually doing both. You feed the pump, feed the boys and have to clean all of that up. It is hectic. I found it very overwhelming some days and I didn't have two toddlers to deal with at the same time.
Have I told you how in awe I am of how you manage to cope?
You have made a choice, the choice that feels right for you and your boys and you are going with it, but it is okay to say how hard that is to maintain.

My baby was preterm and I was warned he might not have the ability to suck. We tried countless times at the hospital. He lost too much weight and had to be given the bottle, but I was also pumping. The nurse told me, "I admire women who have to pump. It's a lot of work. It's frustrating." I was only able to pump for 1 month before my supply dried up, thyroid issues are the culprit. You are doing an excellent job! You should feel proud!!

Borders health bosses have ignored a request for a public meeting to discuss the future of Hawick Community Hospital and dental practice.
But despite the snub, members of the public are being asked to attend Tuesday night's Area Forum where the matter will be discussed.
In a letter to NHS Borders chief executive Callum Campbell, dated December 8, Councillor George Turnbull wrote: "Due to the recent press coverage regarding the imminent review of all the community hospitaIs . . . I write on behalf of the Hawick councillors to invite you or any appropriate officer to attend a public meeting in Hawick."
Mr Turnbull gave three possible meeting dates before adding that he needed a response within two days (by Wednesday evening).
NHS Borders failed to respond but in a statement issued earlier this week, Borders health service chairman John Raine, said: "All public service organisations need to review the way they deliver services. We have budget pressures which mean we must continue to make efficiency savings, but the fact is we are given substantial sums of public money and we need to be assured we are using our resources in the best possible way for those we serve.
"We know our community hospitals are highly regarded in the localities but the review will need to look at the way all our in-patient services are used and how community hospitals work as part of the whole system of healthcare alongside other health and social care services in the community. We can give a categorical assurance that any changes would be widely consulted upon."
And speaking shortly before our press deadline last night, Councillor Watson McAteer said: "As far as I can establish NHS Borders have not been able to support a public meeting being organised for next week to discuss Hawick Community Hospital. The Hawick councillors would encourage townsfolk to attend the Teviot and Liddesdale Area Forum in the Town Hall, at 6.30pm on Tuesday, December 16, where there will be an opportunity to discuss this matter."

Iconic Supermodel Grace Jones Releases a First Look Into Her Documentary
by flaunt
The iconic Jamaican super model and singer, Grace Jones, is the subject of a new biopic, Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami. The documentary is set to release at the Toronto Film Festival this September. "You have to be a high flying bitch sometimes!" Grace exclaims in the newly released trailer.
The trailer doesn't spoil the plot of the film, but rather emphasizes the beauty of Grace and her razor sharp cheekbones. The 97-second trailer depicts Jones applying makeup in the back of a stretch limousine and in the mirror of a dressing room.
The highly anticipated documentary was filmed over the course of a decade in collaboration with director Sophie Fiennes, as an attempt to unmask Jones' pristine public image. The documentary will narrate her life and work with some of her closest friends in the art, fashion, and music world.
For information on the film and the Toronto Film Festival release click here.

If you're an avid traveler, then you probably want to share your advice and insights to the public. Why not make some money at the same time?
Knowing how to monetize a travel blog can help finance your trips so be sure to get the most from your travels. Use this expert advice to create your own niche and start making a good income from traveling.
If you are interested in making real money online that can possibly replace or supplement your income regularly check out our #1 Recommendation HERE
Create a Product
Your experiences and insights are a product, but you can increase your earning potential by actually selling a physical product.
Is there something that would have aided in your travels?
One example is an individual who developed and sold a travel scarf. This scarf held his passport securely in a small pouch that was easily accessible but not noticeable to potential pickpockets.
To develop and sell a physical product, be sure to develop something that resonates with the traveling community and also helps solve a problem.
Sell e-Books
Many bloggers will write about their experiences on their websites but also have a link to an e-book that can be downloaded for only a few dollars.
If you have the time and experience, why not develop your own?
The key to making your book successful is that it needs to fill a niche. Writing a book about traveling in Ecuador probably won't stand out.
Instead, you could write a book about the best art in Ecuador, the most popular scams and how to avoid them, or something else that's specific and interesting to your audience.
Whatever your book is, you'll want to create something inspired that's based on your travel experiences.
Connect With Others
Although you want to make your own money, it's best to connect with other travelers who stand out from the travel blogging crowd.
Look for others in your area who are brilliant story tellers and wizards at social media. They're great at connecting with others and expanding their presence.
You can learn a lot from these professionals so promote them and you'll be increasing your own presence.
Although it will take some time, these friends will help you in many different ways and will likely promote your own blog once they become more familiar with your work.

Consider Sponsored Posts
This is a post where the content has been created specifically for the advertiser. This could be a promotional article that endorses a product or a general blog post which has an embedded link to the company.
Many companies pay for these embedded links to boost their SEO. To do this, you'll need to have a website in place and have a fairly steady stream of visitors.
However, after you've gotten your site established, you can begin looking for sponsors. The quality of your site will depend on how much you can charge. There is no industry standard, but $100-200 is a reasonable expectation.
After you've spent a few months building your brand and establishing yourself as the expert, sponsors may start contacting you. If not, you can ask other bloggers for their sponsors and reach out and pitch to advertisers who are known to pay for posts.
Make Commissions on Hotel Booking Affiliates
Affiliate marketing is always an area to use with caution but you're going to have better luck by providing good lodging information.
Obviously, tourists are going to be visiting your site. Most of them are going to be looking for information on hotel deals.
Provide them with good information on particular hotels with your own review and then put your affiliate link in the article.
If your reader finds that you've provided valuable information, then they're more likely to book through your links and you'll get a nice commission by the hotel.
Adsense as Needed
Adsense is run by Google and is definitely the most popular monetizing method to earn money for travel blogging. Many popular blogs and sites use Adsense.
However, while it's not a bad option, it's not easy to get into Adsense. You must first have good and unique content with an excellent number of visitors.
It may take some time for you to be able to use this method. You should use the other tips first and then consider Adsense if you're wanting to make even more money from your site.
Monetize a Travel Blog
These key tips are some of the best ways to get started making money from your travel blog. Many of them are unconventional and can set you apart from other travel sites. Get started and work smart to build your brand!

I had a anger flareup this evening. It was not directly related to my sexuality so it probably does not belong on this blog, but oh well.
The short story is that I had plans and was told to abandon them out of consideration for another's needs. That put me in a position of debt, which made me grumpy. Any relationship in the world is going to have these kinds of conflicts, but my tolerance for them is small. So it is better that I am alone.
Framing this as a control issue is not wrong, but my angry insight this evening is that this was as much about autonomy as it is about control. There are many situations where I am happy to defer to the wishes of others. But I am not willing to have my autonomy limited. I was raised in an emotionally difficult environment. I have been gaslit many times. It won't happen again.
This makes it difficult to stay in relationship and it makes it difficult to sustain employment. I started a short-term contract recently and have been struggling with the bureaucracy and the institution. Everywhere I look there are rules, rules, rules: no peeing on the floor, no picking my nose in public, and most obnoxiously holding the company line even when I strongly disagree with that line. But thems the tradeoffs. If you don't follow the rules you don't get paid.
Toeing the line is difficult enough in the workplace, and I think I have decided that I won't put up with it in my personal relationships. Thus it is highly likely that I will be alone for the rest of my life, and that's okay.
If I had one goal in life, it was to avoid ending up like my father. (Gee. That's original.) He was (and probably still is) an angry, depressive man who — as far as I could tell — had zero friends, and thus put all of the burdens of human relationship onto his spouse. He grew more and more paranoid and got to the point where he could not work any more, but did not believe in psychiatry.
I thought I would be different, but as I age I am becoming more and more like him. (Gee. That's original too.) I am angry and anxious to the point where it is difficult to hold down a job, and indeed this short-term contract may well be the last employment I ever have. I have few friends and am doing my level best to alienate the ones that remain. I demand control of situations and pretend I want autonomy, then stomp off when other people defy my wishes. I'm too cheap to go into therapy and too stubborn to go on SSRIs. The parallels are striking.
But I never married, and I never had kids. I avoided that much. If nothing else, the cycle ends with me.

0. Preface
0.1. The context of activities.
A.LU.MA-Burundi is none lucrative association created in 2,001 and legally recognized by the ministry's ordinance n°530/001 of the 2ndJanuary 2,002. That organization is pursuing his mission which consists in contributing to the improvement of life's conditions by fighting against malaria. That disease is continuing to be the first problem of public health.
In his declaration of the 25th april 2,008, first world's journey for fighting against malaria, the General secretary of United Nations indicated that a child of less than 5 year die in the world every 20 seconds; it means that 3 children every minute, 180 children by one hour and 4,320 children every 24 hours. By extrapolation, the expert in hydrology Gérard Cougny will say that this number is corresponding with 12 planes of 360 passengers which make crashes in the air every 24 hours.
As in other African sub-Saharan countries, in Burundi malaria is remaining the first cause of morbidity and mortality. The more affected groups are those of children of less than 5 years and pregnant women.
A.LU.MA-Burundi's interventions go straighten with the two axes of intervention recognized by the national protocol of fighting against malaria which is consisting in prevention and effective treatments for present cases.
During this year, thanks to the habitual partners and new ones, A.LU.MA-Burundi has realized some activities which go directly with the two axes of intervention.
About prevention, the Association has received a donation of 24,293,700 Fbu from World found against HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria. That donation allowed organizing capacity building seminaries for staff of anti malaria center. 11employees of the center has participated. It allowed also organization of campaign of public mobilization against malaria. The 25th april, world's journey of fighting against malaria, it has been organized a motorcycle course from anti malaria center St Francois d'Assise located in municipal commune of Kamenge till public garden in center town of Bujumbura in municipal commune of Rohero. From the 5th to 19th November 2,009 it has been organized a campaign of mobilization in 13 communes of Mere of Bujumbura through the use of a car equipped of loudspeaker and various spots produced were heard. The important messages were about how is spreading up malaria disease by the vector mosquito, how to take in charge correctly cases and how preventing malaria with insecticide treated bed nets and the fight against mosquitoes by spraying pesticide around environment.
The seminaries have been organized thanks to the support of new National Program integrated of fighting against malaria (PNILP) created in January 2,009. The plea has been done in 2,008 and its aim was the necessity of endowing the country of National program of fighting against malaria in order to express the government's will of eradicating malaria disease. That structure would have as first mission to fix efficient strategies of fighting against malaria and make coordination of all interventions in that field.
As it is already stressed in previous reports, the financing of French Embassy and those of UNOB provided in 2,006 allowed to the center to get a hall of meeting and sufficient equipment (tables, chairs, PA system…) for seminaries and permit autonomy to the functioning of the center.
In order to have good functioning of the center, there must be accomplishment of various supports: moral support, financial, material and technical. Then, the center functioned thanks to the devotion of organizations and physical persons which share the same conviction with A.LU.MA-Burundi that the center can contribute to the improvement of life's conditions of persons with small revenue. In this way, the action of St Francois d'Assise is an eloquent sign of authentic international solidarity and multicultural.
Exceptionally, the year 2,009 will mark a remarkable donation of papal foundation which will cover remuneration of staff for the exercise 2,010 and the acquisition of two vehicles:
- A minibus; a donation of British association SURVIVE-MIVA(Liverpool, U K)
- A double cabin provided by malaria Program of Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and mMalaria.
These means used in locomotion allowed the improvement of services given by the center, particularly in operating transfers of serious cases to the military hospital of Bujumbura where transferred patients are welcome with emergency. The locomotion of serious cases to their homes is also done thanks to these vehicles. Employees of remote localities from the anti malaria center are transported till the center town where they can find easily commercial buses. Thanks to the availability of these vehicles, procure services are easily done while before we had to resort to the cycle or to the taxis. These means allow today good organization of services of the center.
0.2. Thanks aimed to partners.
In reference to the previous, as by way of thanks we would like to express our deepest gratitude to:
- The president of papal foundation, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua(222 North seventeenth street, PHILADELPPHIA, PA 1910, USA) whose donation was intended to cover wages charges of the staff for the second semester 2,010. We must underline that it is the same foundation which provide salaries of the staff since the beginning of anti malaria center St Francois d'Assise. That donation constitutes the very important path of center's life. Without such assistance the functioning of the center would be impossible. The Foundation is remaining till today the single one partner which accepts to contribute in providing staff's remunerations. May the almighty be praised for that action of Holy Father which allows saving human lives especially for persons with small revenue.
- Apostolic Nonciature in Burundi which remains the interlocutor of A.LU.MA-Burundi beside the holy head office and papal Foundation. Our thanks go directly to the former Apostolic Nonce, Mgr Paul Richard Gallagher, for his permanent support to the anti malaria center. Additional to his key task of intermediary between Papal Foundation and A.LU.MA-Burundi, he gave to the center a donation of 1,800 USD which allowed helping free of charge 6,000 children of less than 5 years.
- The French Embassy in Burundi thanks to his financing, the center got a solid infrastructure which allows guaranteeing to the patients good conditions of treatment.
- The direction of British Association SURVIVE-MIVA for his precious donation which permitted to A.LU.MA-Burundi buying a vehicle needed in various services by the center. This is the benefit of patients of the center. We are also thankful towards Mgr Evariste Ngoyagoye, Archbishop of Bujumbura who accepted to sign the recommendation aimed at SURVIVE-MIVA, in gratitude of charity acts done by the association through the anti malaria center St Francois d'Assise. We can't forget to thank once again the former Apostolic Nonce in Burundi, Mgr Paul Richard Gallagher whose contribution established that relation between SURVIVE-MIVA and A.LU.MA-Burundi.
- The General Direction of Action Medeor, a German organism which supported A.LU.MA-Burundi since his creation in providing various support like medicines and equipment materials. That organism continues supporting our Association. That Orgasm is the first partner of A.LU.MA-Burundi and does publicity of the Association. It takes also in the medicine's account through which pass sponsors of individuals.
- The Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria for his multiform support: material of laboratory, tablets (molecule artesunate/amodiaquine), and financial support for realizing same activities as it is expressed above. This partnership has been reinforced during 2,009 by the signature of convention which allowed A.LU.MA-Burundi to receive vehicle TOYOTA HILUX, Type van 4X4 for three years.
- The Ministry of Public Health that associates A.LU.MA-Burundi in its initiatives of fighting against malaria being a partner. A.LU.MA-Burundi is a member of CCM/Burundi, the Committee of Coordination of the Global Fund programs.
- The office of Brasserie-Burundi (BRARUDI) that has accepted to put on the disposal of the center a material for its kiosk of lemonade sustained by its services, the kiosk that generates some revenue for the functioning of the center.
- Mr. Jiwani Shafiq, Director of Alsafa (import-export) who continued to provide all quantities of tablets of Paracetamol 500mg that the center needs. We need to mention that this action went on from November 2005.
- The Keicher family and the parish of St Nicolas of Gundelsheim in Germany, Friends of Bonn and of Moenchengladbach (Germany) for their moral support and their work of traduction.
- The Lavoie family of Canada for his gift of 500.000 Burundian Francs (almost 500 US$) that allowed to treat without payment 660 children under 5.
- The general office of the society Toyota Burundi for his gift of 1.500.000 Burundian Francs (1.500 US$) that allowed to treat without payment 5.000 under 5 children.
- Mme Isabel Macia of Mallorca ( island Baléares- Spain) with his friends from the ABFIS association for the gift of medicine and a printer offered to the center anti-malaria, of which gifts allow quality of services given to patients who visit the centre.
- The Schoenstatt fathers of Mont Sion Gikungu for his gift made of boxes of milk for children that visit the center and manifest signs of malnutrition.
That all who helped in one way or another A.LU.MA-Burundi to reach to its objectives, find here the expression of our deepest gratitude. Every help given serves to save a human life, when we know that for one to have access to medical care at a health center, an adult person has to pay a contribution of 400 BuFrancs, except in the vulnerable cases while the contribution of under 5 children reaches 300 BuFrancs.
As indicated above, under five children were able to be treated without paying due to different gifts mentioned above. Our wish would be that every person who visits the centre is treated without payment, which supposes that there are some generous souls that pay the contribution in their place. A donation of 11.746.600 (almost 10.000 US$) would allow to welcome 29.366 adult people and 11.660 children under five received in 2009.
0.3. Actions of encouragements:
1. A national program to fight against Malaria was put into place.
During the campaigns of demand for a strong commitment in the matter of fighting against Malaria, A.LU.MA-Burundi has never ceased to request that a national program that fights against Malaria should be put into place for more coordination of stakeholders in the sector, and work together for the eradication of malaria. In the dates of January 13th 2009, the minister of public health signed a decree that created a nation program to fight against malaria (PNILP). Of course, it is important for the government to reinforce the capacities of this new structure so that it ca be operational to satisfy of all stakeholders, and become a main beneficiary and direct manager of funds of world fund in the fight against HIV AIDS, TB and malaria, and discharge the nation council that fight against HIV AIDS (CNLS) that is mainly in charge of fighting against the pandemic of HIV AIDS.
2. Case management of children under five without charge.
In 2007, One part of the donation given by the parish of St Nicolas of Gundelsheim has allowed to take charge of 5,000 children under five without charge from the month of December 2007 till the month of May 2008.
A donation of 500.000 Burundian Francs (almost 500 US$) of the Lavoie family of Québec in Canada, a donation of 1.800.000Burundian Francs (almost 1.800 US$) from the apostolic Nonce, Bishop Paul R. Gallagher and a gift of 1.500.000 Burundian Francs (almost 1.500 US$) have allowed to treat without charge 11.660 children under five in the work year of 2009. Remember that children under 5 are treated without any charge in the public health facilities from the month of May 2006. A donation of 1.500 US$ from the parish of St Nicolas of Gundelsheim (Badenwurtenmberg) has allowed to receive without any charge 5.000 children in 2008.
This action of charity has shown that there are some parents who are not able to get 300 Burundian Francs to contribute because the number of under 5 children that are received in the centre has only doubled.

3. The Reception of transportation means.
Even if A.LU.MA-Burundi was not able to get an ambulance as wanted initially to initiate a mobile clinic, the center has 2 vehicles in its disposition that enable its good functioning, especially in the case where transfer of hard cases is done smoothly. The association rejoices because it was able to contribute in the reduction of mortality rate due to malaria.
4. The center anti-malaria has been knowing more and more potential beneficiaries.
Because if mobilization activities via advertisement spots and public manifestations, many patients affirm to us that they have known the existence of the center after a preparation of a running competition of those who ride motorbikes to get ends meet on 25th April 2009, the celebration of the first world day to fight against malaria, a race that started from the center anti-malaria St François of Assise situated at the junction of the commune of Kamenge and Kinama, and took main roads of the capital city, the 28th November Boulevard till the public garden situated in the commune of Rohero.
While the center has received 89 patients the Friday of 24th April 2009, it received 202 the following Monday of 27th April 2009.
From fifth to 19th November 2009, there was a campaign of mobilization that was organized to the people living in 13 communes of the city of Bujumbura. The result was that the following weeks were marked by a great increase of the number of patients that have visited the center.
0.4. Challenges met.
With the introduction of the new combination of the molecule Artesunate/ Amodiquine in one tablet in the month of June 2009, the center has known stock outs due to the new circuits of requisition as the health districts put into place by the ministry of public health for the good governance of those products. The stock outs that affected us greatly are the ones that were produced during the recrudescence of malaria during the month of November and December 2009, where we received regularly between 200 and 300 patients per day, and the highest number being that of 364 registered on 21st December 2009.
As the center remains the only center in the city of Bujumbura that received people that feel suffer from malaria, the idea should be that it could be a special derogation so that requisitions are done without holding unto the regularities of reports of other health centers. It is frustrating to have said to patients that were found positive on the malaria test by telling them that there is no enough medicines, and yet many of those patients have no financial means to buy for themselves medicine that fight against malaria that exist in private pharmacies.
0.5. Conclusion.
A.LU.MA-Burundi exhorts its partners not to leave or abandon, because the race to run is still very long. Despite all effort made, malaria is still one of the big factors of poverty that many people that visit the center are facing. Challenges are still there, but there is no any doubt that when effort can be contributed, we will reach one day to the reduction of consequences of malaria, and then to release energy in the long lasting development.
Even if this was not realized during the year of 2009, A.LU.MA-Burundi wishes to initiate a mobile clinic that would help in reducing the distances done by patients that come mainly from the communes of Mutimbuzi, Isale, Mubimbi in province of Bujumbura.
At the level of prevention, A.LU.MA-Burundi wishes taking an action of vectorial fight by the intra-domiciliary pulverization. Of course that supposes the reception of pumps and appropriate insecticide. For that activity to be a success, A.LU.MA-Burundi will be in need of finances to train its agents that will be needed in that action. In the first time, the action was needed only in 3 urban communes that surround the center anti-malaria, namely communes of Kamenge, Kinama and Cibitoke.
May the Almighty God bless all actions of international solidarity and the generosity that contribute to save human lives, especially children under 5 that constitute a group of people that are highly threatened by malaria.
