The Men's Room currently delivers all it does on the equivalent of 2 Full Time staff per week.
We need to increase capacity of the organisation, but also we need to fund incentives to secure sustained involvement from the young men we support.
Your donations make a real difference...here's a few examples how.
£1 may be the difference between a young man engaging with us because he gets a cup of tea.
£2 is the cost per head of a young man receiving a hot meal, maybe the only hot meal he has had in days.
£5 provides food for a drop in session.
£18 supports a 1:1 session that can include a health check and social care advice.
£30 is the cost of a half day session with young men exploring issues that help them protect themselves.
£30 provides food for a group session
£100 is the cost of bringing in an arts worker for a session to allow the young men to experience new creative ways to express themselves and develop a voice that supports their own empowerment.
On a different scale....
£10,000 will run all our current core activities (Street Outreach, Drop-In, 1:1, Red Room & Blue Room) for a month.
£5,000 will support an engagement worker to work with young men directly for 4 months
£3,000 will support a creative programme for young men to share something positive and raise awareness
£1,000 will pay for four months food at the sessions for young men

Civil Society Organizations Trained on Policy Lobby and Advocacy in Uganda
26 Civil Society Organizations working on Maternal health, Child health, Adolescents health, HIV/AIDs and Human Rights related issues were trained by the African Centre for Global Health and Social Transformation (ACHEST) on policy lobby and advocacy.
The four days training held from 7th- 10th August 2017 in Entebbe, Uganda hinged on one of the major Health Systems Advocacy Partnership project components that is aimed at building capacity of indigenous civil society organizations to be able to engage effectively with governments, the private sector and other stakeholders accountable for health systems to deliver; equitable, accessible and high-quality SRHR and services.
"Wanting to become agents of change should be the drive for every individual to work hard. The lobby and advocacy skills acquired from the training will go a long way in bringing the change that we want to see." Prof. Francis Omaswa, the Executive Director of ACHEST noted whole speaking at the training.
He advised the coalition members to create a lot of awareness around reproductive health like it was done around HIV AIDS being cognizant of the fact that maternal health is one indicator that did not perform well during the Millennium Development Goal era.
The purpose of the training was to; impart knowledge and widen the skills base; and develop materials, tools and plans to drive the lobby and advocacy agenda in Sexual Reproductive Health Rights, specific to Human Resources for Health, Leadership and Governance.
Key thematic areas of the training comprised: definitions of concepts used in advocacy and lobbying, advocacy and lobbying cycle, media advocacy, advocacy monitoring and evaluation, social accountability tools and advocacy monitoring and evaluation.
"We may build roads to go to the hospital which is a good thing, but building better human capital of healthy people who can build roads to go to the hospital is key in achieving a country's development." Dr. Patrick Kadama, Director of Health Policy at ACHEST said.
35 participants from 26 civil society organizations including ACHEST staff from Uganda and Zambia were trained while ACHEST staff from Kenya were not able to participate given the political situation in the country at the time.
Participants developed advocacy strategies, press releases, policy briefs and work plans specific to the three contexts guided by a step by step training manual in a participatory manner which will be improved and disseminated in a joint engagement.

Spacilus Search Engine Assistant for Google
Spacilus Search Engine Assistant for Google - -
Today, there are some issues with the use of search engines:
Search engine spam
Everybody knows the problem: Among a typical list of search results you usually find a lot of entries that do not offer any real value towards your search request but consist of a bunch of links directing you to some shopping site or lure you to some website that might try to play all sorts of tricks (viruses, Trojans, dialers, etc.) on you.
Missing categorization of search results
An example: When you are looking for a particular product, search results of optimized shopping sites might very well take the upper hand in your search result list making it very cumbersome to get to the manufacturers' technical specification pages you were actually interesting in. On the other hand, when on the next day you decide to purchase that product, the shopping sites' search results that were bothering you the day before might now be offering just what you need.
Search engine users try to deal with these issues by making guesses about the value of each search result they see on a search result page. Naturally, as they become more experienced over time, their guesses become more and more educated. But no matter how good the guessing becomes, it never stops to consume time and nerves!
This is where Spacilus comes into the picture. Spacilus can do the guessing for you, saving your time and nerves!

Google Print Home Page - Friday, May 27, 2005 -
What is Google Print?
Google's mission is to organize the world's information, but much of that information isn't yet online. Google Print aims to get it there by putting book content where you can find it most easily - right in your Google search results.
How does Google Print work?
Just do a search on the Google Print homepage. When we find a book whose content contains a match for your search terms, we'll link to it in your search results. Click a book title and you'll see the page of the book that has your search terms, along with other information about the book and "Buy this Book" links to online bookstores (you can view the entirety of public domain books or, for books under copyright, just a few pages or in some cases, only the title's bibliographic data and brief snippets). You can also search for more information within that specific book and find nearby libraries that have it.
Where do these books come from?
The book content in Google Print comes from two sources: publishers and libraries.

Google CEO defends privacy policies
Google chief executive Eric Schmidt acknowledged that his company's search engine can ruffle privacy feathers, but said the company's technology doesn't violate the company's founding motto, Don't be evil.Google CEO defends privacy policies - Monday, May 23, 2005 -
Schmidt discovered his own home phone number through Google, but said he was able to remove it by filling out Google's standard form. But Google shouldn't be blamed when that sort of private information crops up, he said.
"Google does not discover things that are not public," said Schmidt, answering questions on the stage of the Gartner Symposium in San Francisco on Wednesday. "Many people are disturbed to find their home phone number. But we found it because it was a public piece of information."
In response to a question about how Google treats consumer privacy, he tried to illustrate how the company's don't-be-evil philosophy trumps technology by recounting a meeting he attended with company co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin. In it, a business executive suggested a particular change at Google.

Google introduces personalized home pages
Google introduces personalized home pages - -
Google's home page is about to get a face-lift.
In what appears to be a broadside aimed at MyYahoo, Google rolled out a new feature on Thursday that lets people set up a personalized Google home page.
The feature, which has not yet been named, lets people with Gmail and other Google accounts create a home page with different modules that they can drag and drop across their page, giving them one place to go for e-mail, headlines, weather reports, maps, movie schedules and, of course, Web search.
Google officials presented the introduction as another step in the companys efforts to tie its products more closely together. During a question-and-answer session with reporters, CEO Eric Schmidt said the product was not conceived as a direct answer to MyYahoo or to compete with an existing offering already in the market.

Tomodachi 0.3 - -
Tomodachi is a program that shows graphically the the way that you, your friends and other people in Orkut's
network are connected. To be able to use it, you must necessarily be an Orkut member.
Don't you know what is Orkut? Orkut is a social network website. This means that an Orkut member can search, among all Orkut members, for her friends (or relatives or classmates or acquaintances or whatever) and add them to her list of friends. If someone is not in the Orkut network, an Orkut member (and only an Orkut member) can send her an invitation to join it. Someone can after navigate through these friends lists and know who are the friends of her friends or the friends of the friends of the friends of her friends and so on. Besides that, there are also communities that are a kind of Internet forums created by Orkut members.
But in all this "friend of your friends" thing, we missed a way to visualize through graphs things like "did our friends knew each other?" or "has someone recently joined Orkut and all my friends have added her to their friends list except me?". We expect that Tomodachi will help filling this gap.

Google has acquired social networking service Dodgeball, as it continues its expansion beyond search.
Dodgeball notice on its site, saying it was acquired Wednesday. The note did not reveal financial details but did say that Dodgeball's two co-founders are "Google superfans."
Google spokesman David Krane confirmed the buyout Thursday, but did not give further details.

Through acquisitions and its own research and development, Google has expanded far beyond its beginnnings as a search company, offering e-mail applications, photo management and blogging tools, among other features. The expansion has led many to question how far the company expects its reach to extend.

Google experiences brief outage
Google's Web site was inaccessible for a brief time Saturday and some visitors reported being rerouted to another site, leading some to believe that the search giant had been hacked.Google experiences brief outage - Monday, May 09, 2005 -
The site was down from 3:45 to 4 p.m. PST, Google spokesman David Krane told The Associated Press.
"It was not a hacking or a security issue," Krane. He said the problem was related to the DNS (Domain Name System), which routes one's Internet protocol address to the appropriate Web site that the user wants to visit. If the DNS system goes down, Web pages requested usually do not appear or take a long time to load.
"Google's global properties were unavailable for a short period of time," Krane said. "We've remedied the problem and access to Google has been restored worldwide."
Rumors that the site was hacked began when visitors were reportedly rerouted to SoGoSearch.com.

Google seeks all the news that's fit to search - Monday, May 02, 2005 -
Google is seeking to patent a technology meant to help its Google News section sort stories based on their overall quality, which could augment the current methods of ranking results by date and relevance to search terms.
In separate filings with the U.S. and world patent offices, Google detailed a new formula it has developed to help rank news stories in Web search results. The system would allow the company to sort news by source, rather than based merely on a story's direct relation to a certain search term or the time at which articles were published.
The company's filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, submitted in September 2003, describes the news-rating technology as a tool that "ranks the list of (search results) based at least in part on a quality of (their) identified sources." The technology, based on work by researchers Michael Curtiss, Krishna Bharat and Michael Schmitt, would let Google prerank content from specific news outlets to ensure that those stories appear above other search results.
Company representatives did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment.

As each day

This time, once more, I had the sheep to thank for it. For the little prince asked me abruptly--
"Yes, that is true." "Ah! I am glad!" I did not understand why it was so important that sheep should eat little bushes. But the little prince added: "
I pointed out to the little prince je fis remarquer au petit princethat baobabs were not little bushes, but, on the contrary, trees as big as castles; and that even if he took a whole

The idea of the herd of elephants made the little prince laugh.
"We would have to put them one on top of the other," he said.
But he made a wise comment:
"Before they grow so big, the baobabs start out by being little."
"That is strictly correct," I said. "But why do you want the sheep to eat the little baobabs?"
He answered me
Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince; and these were the seeds of the baobab. The

So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, that

Listen to this article
It's a game of seven gazelles rather than eight buffalos and seven gazelles," is Rugby Football Union competition manager Chris Burns' eloquent comparison of the skilful-running, tough-tackling wonder-try fest that is seven-a-side rugby with its 15-a-side big brother. "Sevens is more tactical, more about positioning on the field and speed."
"It makes better players," explains Simon Amor, 26, who captains the England Sevens team "There's much more one-on-one so handling skills and tackling come into play a lot more. It's also great for wingers who might only get to touch the ball a couple of times in a regular match."
Indeed, though there are less players, sevens uses the same pitch as 15-a-side rugby so teams are spread more sparsely and must play a faster game, more dominated by running and passing. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, there are many more tries per minute than in regular rugby. "Rucks and mauls are very brief affairs, usually involving just two or maybe three from each team," says Burns. "The three-man scrums are pretty messy. If they go against the head, it's because the ball's popped out between a prop's legs."
Sevens is much shorter than the full game, at seven to 10 minutes a half instead of 40. But that doesn't make it any easier: "It's absolutely shattering," says Amor. "You've probably got to be fitter for sevens. In World Series tournaments you play seven games leading up to a final, all on the same day. One of the biggest challenges is doing the games one after the other – warm up, play, warm down, rest, over and over."
Until recently, sevens was something of an afterthought to the real business of the 15-a-side game. Much like five-a-side football, it was played for fitness and skills practice at the beginning of the season or for fun at the end. Since the International Rugby Board set up the World Sevens Series in 1999, though, it is gaining more respect.
The series is an annual competition between 33 national teams, competing in eight full tournaments at worldwide venues from South Africa to Singapore. The money, glamour and recognition are beginning to attract some big names too: Dan Luger, of England's 2003 World Cup winning team, is in England's Melbourne squad and more than a third of the current 30-man English Six Nations squad regularly play sevens. Amor himself plays rugby union for Gloucester.
With Gloucester, Amor trains twice a day from Monday to Wednesday, has a day off on Thursday, a run on Friday, a game on Saturday and a recovery session on Sunday. Sevens training is fitted around this schedule. "The main challenge is keeping in shape for a long period of time," he explains. "As well as the training, I eat a lot of carbs and protein and keep fat levels down. Fitness is the key ingredient. It's very tough, it's very tiring but the rewards are worth it. I get to represent my country, play the sport I love and travel the world."
For the amateur, fitness levels will depend on who you're playing with, although taking part in such an intensely physical game regularly is naturally going to improve strength and cardiovascular capability.
If you don't want to be too committed, there are plenty of relaxed games to join. You don't even need 14 people to play in the park with jumpers for try lines. Dylan O'Connor plays 15-a-side for Richmond thirds in the winter, then sevens with friends in Richmond Deer Park in the summer. "It's friendly and everyone's welcome. Whether you can just catch a ball or you've been playing for 20 years, you can wander up and join in," he says.
If you want to avoid the game's more bruising aspects but still reap the fitness rewards, then "touch" sevens might be an idea. Rather than flinging yourself at an opponent to make a tackle, you just have to touch them. Even more than sevens, "touch" favours the small and lithe over the big and burly so mixed teams can play. Worthing Rugby Club runs sevens evenings in the summer with teams comprised of two men, two women and three children. Many local clubs have similar events.
Those feeling particularly sporty could try the RFU's Summer Sevens Tournament, taking place on Wednesday nights from June 14 to July 26 at Ealing Trailfinders Club in west London. It's a round-robin event, with every team playing in at least two matches a week. Chris Burns says: "Last year's inaugural competition tended to attract divisional level clubs – the likes of Ealing, Twickenham and so on." This year organisers are hoping to attract more amateur teams. It's taken seriously, however. It costs £360 per team a year to play; there are yellow and red cards; suspensions; and each team must provide a touch judge.
For those who prefer to watch, tune into the Commonwealth Games Sevens, which start this week in Melbourne. Unlike some of the sports at the Games, this will genuinely be a competition between the world's best. Of the 11 top teams in the 2005/2006 World Sevens Series, nine are going for gold in Melbourne (only France and Argentina are missing).
Among the contenders are New Zealand, who won the two previous Commonwealth golds; Australia, with home advantage; Fiji, the World Series 2005/2006 leaders; and England. "We've got a very good chance this time," says Simon Amor. "We won the last World Series tournament but Fiji, the Aussies and the Kiwis are all very good."
Amor's hopes look well-founded. England are currently second in the World Series. When they last played leaders Fiji, in February, they hammered them 38-5. Wales and Scotland, also competing, are not expected to reach the medals podium but in sevens anything can happen.

Global climate change; ah yes, this elusive and for some reason still debated phenomena, although less and less so as time moves on. Since it is something I hope to discuss and see the effects of in my journey north, it is worth an article of explanation.
**Warning #1** While this blog tends to have the ring of doom and gloom, I do try to bring it together with a sparkly, happy conclusion. Read on!
**Warning #2** I am not a climatologist and have a limited science background, but information collected from sources that I trust and that are gathering momentum around the world show that more and more science and scientists accept the fact that there is a global climate change occurring and that it is most likely a man-made occurrence.
Generally accepted facts:

When you are unable to qualify for a conventional mortgage, there are multiple options that will help you finance a home and start living the American Dream.
Financial mistakes in your past don't automatically prohibit you from achieving your goals for the future. Keep an open mind that there are various opportunities available rather than assuming you will be denied because of a low credit score.
Various government programs exist for the sole purpose of making homeownership creating a real possibility for more people. If you have been turned down for a conventional mortgage, don't give up.
The FHA Loan and FHA Choice Loan to the U.S. department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Loan, there are mortgage options available for people of low to moderate income levels with less than perfect credit scores.
You can have access to fixed or adjustable rates as well as mortgages with no down payment required and no mortgage insurance, depending on which option is right for you. All of these factors can contribute to a lower monthly payment and allows you to enjoy the benefits of homeownership while you build your financial strength.
Never say never.

Leather is widely used all over the world due to its durability and versatility. It can be transformed into almost anything like pair of shoes, belts, bags and jackets. Some leathers are really expensive depending from which animal it was taken from like Alligators. That's why people really take good care of their belongings made of leather.
The most common disappointment of leather owners is getting it stained. And ink is the most frequent sources of stains on leather. Some people accidentally write on their leather pouches, or some forgot to put the cap and blotted the leather.
Removing ink stains from leather may not be very easy. Although it is believed that ink permanently stains leather, removing ink from leathers can be as easy as erasing marks from a pencil if a proper leather stain remover is used.
Here are some tips on how to remove pen ink from leathers:
Identifying the type of leather you have is essential to know how you are going to remove the ink stain.
There are two types of leather, naked and finished. Naked leather doesn't have anything applied to it other than the dye. It has no protective coating on its surface, so the leather is highly absorbent so removing ink from this leather is difficult.
Finished leather is also called semi-aniline leather. The leather is painted with a dye as well but a coating was applied to protect it from stains.
Testing the leather to identify if it is naked or finished is easy. Just let a drop of water on the leather's surface. Water soaks in naked leathers. On the other hand, a drop of water on finished leathers should just bead off.
Checking the Ink Stain:
If the ink was just softly swiped onto the leather surface, then the ink is still removable. However, if the ink already seeped in and showed fading inks on its sides, then it could be permanent. This stain is going to be difficult to remove, and your option could be calling professional leather cleaner.
How to remove ink stains from leathers using household items
Damp cloth treatment. If the stain is still fresh and you can still see the ink wet and hasn't soaked yet, use a damp cloth to transfer as much ink as possible. Use an up and down motion to do this. Don't rub or you'll push the ink into the leather. Keep in mind that once ink seeps into the leather, it basically has recolored the leather. No amount of aggressive rubbing will change that fact. Rubbing and forcing the ink to fade can damage the leather surface.
Soap Solution. A mild soap solution is sometimes used to remove ink from leather. Use cotton or a damp cloth. Wet the damp cloth with your soap solution and then gently clean the stained area on a circular motion. Sometimes, you may be able to remove some of the stain and make it fade a little. But not entirely gone.
Alcohol. Being one of the most common solvents used to remove stain may be applicable to remove ink stains on leathers. Double check first if the color of your leather will not be damaged by the alcohol. You can apply it to hidden areas and see if alcohol is going to smear the color. Once the cotton has some of the inks transferred, replace it with a new one.
Hair Spray. Some people have tried using this as leather stain remover. You spray hair spray on the stained area and then you wipe it with a damp cloth.If none of these chemicals were able to remove the stain from the leather, most likely the ink has settled already. There are leather stain removers available commercially.
If ink removal from leather was unsuccessful, you may need to contact the experts on this. Seeking professional help is highly recommended to avoid any further damage on the leather. Redyeing will be the next possible solution if removing ink from leather is impossible. Leather dyes are now widely available to refurbish leathers. Leather dyes are used for touching up, and refinishing of the leather.

#7 Bottles, BPA, Recycling and the Man
Written by Jeremy Black, VP of Marketing
In the last week there's been a lot of press about a chemical found in some plastics called BPA (Bisphenol A). This chemical has been found to contribute to hormone disruption and a host of other things. It's commonly found in Nalgene Sport bottles and some other hard plastic bottles (like baby bottles so check yours out). It's a good thing they are bringing this to light and hopefully they'll do the same with other things like all the artificial sweeteners people are drinking in diet drinks these days!
But there's a lot of confusion about what products have BPA and what don't and to our horror there was a so-called "expert" on the Today Show who said "Avoid all #7 bottles"... well, that really sucks, because our bottles have a #7 on them and DO NOT contain any BPA.
The #2, #6, #7 symbols you find on the bottom of bottles is very antiquated like many other government systems. Our #7 bottles are so state of the art (containing a special barrier that helps preserve freshness) that they don't have a way to classify them, so they get a #7.
Same goes with Recycling, many people believe that #7 bottles cannot be
recycled and that's not always true. If you notice on our bottle we've now got a "#2 compatible" stamp on them- this is something we had to petition and pay the manufacturer to start printing for us so people understand that they can and should be recycled like any other #2 bottle.
It's crazy what an irresponsible statement made by a so-called "expert" can do to a young company like ours trying to promote healthy organic products. You'd think the guy might be working for THE MAN. In the last week we've gotten tons of email and phone calls from concerned customers, one who actually threw the bottles in the trash and wanted a refund! After this simple explanation, everyone is very happy to hear we don't have BPA in our products and they can continue to enjoy Sambazon Açaí Products. So please help us out here, pass it on that Sambazon bottles are 100% Safe, 100% Recyclable, and 100% Delicious.
Blessings Always-

A Love Affair
Written by Eric Bowler, North East Sales Manager
My love affair with Açaí has been a long and sultry one. My first taste of it was back in 2003 when I had my first Brasilian Carnival experience. That nine-day trip was so good that I decided to return the following year – for four months. If could do it all again, I would have stayed longer.
Regardless, this is when I really got hooked on Açaí. Fast forward one year and I am working part-time for Sambazon in San Diego, thanks to a contact I had made while I was in Brasil. Almost three years after that, I'm now based in NYC managing Sambazon grocery sales in the North East. It's amazing how a plane ticket can change your life.
It's also amazes me how many people still have never heard of Açaí. When I'm introducing Açaí to someone for the first time, sometimes they look at me like I'm crazy and ask me if I actually eat the stuff. I almost laugh when I tell them I've eaten it everyday for the past 3 years.

Bowl is the Goal
Written by Matthew Lau, National Sales Manager - Foodservice
What do I mean by the bowl is the goal? The infamous Açaí bowl is what people fall in love with when the travel to Brasil. Sambazon originally was founded to bring this prized meal to the masses. It can be made with the basic recipe (2 packs Original, 1/3 banana, 4oz Apple or Soy...blended thick with granola and banana on top) or you can add other fruits, juices, toppings etc. My favorite bowl these days is 2 packs Pure, 4oz Vanilla Hemp, 1 tsp. honey, 1 tsp maple syrup, 1/3 banana...blend thick and top with granola, banana, hemp seed, and coconut. There is no better way to start the day!
I have worked for many great brand leaders in my career, but Sambazon takes social responsibility, positive work environment, and environmental awareness to a new level. There is a huge sense of pride working for a company that has a goal to save the most precious natural resource on earth (Brasilian Rainforest) and also stands behind some of the original motivations to give back to the land, Brasilian people, and overall humanity.
My days are spent doing reports, filling out endless paperwork and trying to keep up with all the sales leads that get passed my way or are acquired at the countless tradeshows. But what I enjoy most is talking to a sole-proprietor wanting to launch Açaí and helping them through the process' of recipes, point of sale, and promotion. The true reward comes when that owner calls back 1 month later and says something like "My juice bar is over flowing with people needing their Açaí bowl. Thank you for helping me transform my business. People are truly addicted to having their bowl everyday just like you said."
Keep loving, relaxing, breathing, absorbing, giving, and eating bowls and bowls of Açaí!!!

Açaí Everyday
Written by Rob Machado, Pro Surfer, Team Sambazon
Açaí, I'll take it anyway it comes... but if I had to choose one, it would be Açaí blended with soymilk (or rice milk), and frozen banana. Pretty simple... keep it thick. Take your bowl and put a layer of granola in the bottom of the bowl... before you put the Açaí in. Then the Açaí. Then more granola on top with whatever fresh fruit you can get your hands on... bananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc. A little bee pollen and some honey and its a done deal.
The first time I had Açaí was on the beach in Rio. I was blown away. I ate it everyday while I was in Brazil. When I got home I was craving it and it was nowhere to be found... that was until Sambazon came along. I was so stoked to finally be able to brew up a batch of Açaí in my own home. I think I eat it just about everyday... and I still love it.
Working with a company like Sambazon is a dream come true. Knowing that you are promoting a product that is protecting the rainforest almost doesn't even sound like it could be possible... but knowing what Sambazon has done and is continuing to do in Brazil makes you feel proud to represent a company like this.

Stephana is amazing, and the real deal! Hard to imagine someone has this much experience but she truly does. She focuses on all aspects of our health: physical, emotional and spiritual and I LOVE how she ties it all together (Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi). She's the perfect balance of tough love with a sincere and compassionate heart. I've been training with her since the beginning of December and have had significant progress and look forward to my continued whole-health-transformation. Thank you Stephana, you are the best!

Cool Plane: The F 14 in the first few games; the F 14D
First of all, it is just plain cute to see your toddler doing something semi productive while they enjoy it, right? The benefits of learning the value of cleanliness at such an early stage in your toddler's life are never ending. They learn that it is not a bad thing (which will come in handy when your toddler becomes a rebellious teen). They learn responsibility which will help them through their entire life. They learn that to be a member of a family requires particpation and team work. They learn that helping mommy with the chores means that mommy will make sure you're fed. I'm just kidding on that last one, but it sounds nice http://sanliticaret.com/2017/12/18/theyll-take-every-advantage-and-are-not-above-using/, right?

Judul :
"Aku Padamu" ("I Am Into You") by Lasja F Susatyo
Sinopsis :
In partnership with Transparency International Indonesia (TII), MSI's USAID-funded Strengthening Integrity and Accountability Program (SIAP-1) project provides prevention support to The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which leads the country's fight against corruption. TII conducted a competition for anti-corruption story ideas in mid-2011. SIAP-1 then worked with KPK to align the movie's messages with broader government efforts and encouraged leading moviemakers and actors to engage in the process.
Kita versus Korupsi (US Against Corruption) comprises four short films: "Rumah Perkara" ("The Troubled House"), "Selamat Siang Risa! ("Good Afternoon Risa!"), "Aku Padamu" ("I am Into You"), and "Psssttt … Jangan Bilang Siapa-Siapa" ("Sssh, Don't Tell Anyone").
The film follows the story of an Indonesian couple who run away to be with each other. However, not having the necessary documents and letters, they cannot get married. The groom wants to bribe the officials, but the bride refuses. After all, the very reason they ran away is because her father is involved in a corruption case.
Director Profile:
Lasja Fauzia Sustayo's debuted her career as film director in 2004 with the romantic comedy "Lovely Luna". In 2006 she directed a movie about band members starring Christian Sugiono and Adinia Wirasti, titled "Dunia Mereka" (Their World). A year later, Lasja directed another light movie titled "Bukan Bintang Biasa" (Not Just Another Star), as well as a segment of the movie anthology "Perempuan Punya Cerita" (Stories of Women). In 2011 Lasja directed a children's movie titled "Langit Biru" (Blue Sky) produced by Nia Dinata.

This website will be closed down during 2014.
You are now being redirected to the new Engaging with the world site.
Suppose our civilization were to disappear suddenly and completely, say, next week. Although no humans survived to interpret it, large numbers of artifacts and archives survived for intelligent life forms emerging in a distant future to interpret. These future archaeologists would be bound to conclude that although humanity seemed to have worshipped many gods and goddesses -- ranging from the Buddha to the Spice Girls -- one peculiar religious ritual seemed to have been nearly universal. It was reported on several pages every day in most of the newspapers, it was sponsored by whisky producers, computer companies and media conglomerates, and it took place regularly; not in mere churches or temples, but in open-air venues much larger than the Colosseum. The purpose of the ritual would presumably have been to illustrate the ultimate futility of life by sending out twenty-two athletic young men (or, more rarely, women) on a grass field to kick a leather ball back and forth until they were utterly exhausted.
Once every four years, this ritual attained a truly global character. In many parts of the world, the period around this climax seemed to have been a frenzied one, where most other activities and preoccupations were temporarily abandoned.
We are, as the readers cannot fail to have noticed, approaching the end of one such cycle these very days. Norway is among the twenty-four chosen countries, and as the country is these days moving towards a virtual standstill, the public sphere is slowly being filled to the brim with information about "our" footballers. To profess ignorance or disgust in this respect is, as the countdown brings us closer to the sacred kick-off, becoming more politically incorrect than refusing to celebrate the 17th of May, Constitution Day which, according to surveys, enjoys the support of over 90 per cent of the Norwegian population.
The national team's legendary manager, ex-Maoist Egil Olsen, is approached with a reverence formerly reserved for popes and presidents, and the youngsters whose single discriminating trait is their ability to kick a ball at the right moment in the right direction, are depicted as demiurges; the attentive public will at any given moment know everything about relevant topics such as their food habits, marital status, salary, recent performances and whether or not they have successfully recovered from minor injuries incurred in recent matches.
The priests of this highly successful religion are the sports journalists. While reporters on politics and culture are grateful to see their work in print at all, sports journalists are routinely provided with large colour illustrations, huge headlines, and unlimited opportunities to present all their banalities, their self-indulgent chattering, their uncensored emotional outbursts and their helpless clichés in prestigious spaces. It has nothing to do with topical priorities, quality or relevance to the country's well-being. The omnipresence of football cannot be understood lest we realise that this is religion. The question which needs to be answered for those of us who fail to see the unrivalled beauty and mystery embodied in twenty-two sweating blokes fighting over a ball on a grass field, consists in what exactly it is that this religion worships: what are its central tenets and values; what does it have to say about what? Hopefully, future archaeologists will provide an answer.
P.S. Under other circumstances, perhaps this intense attention would have been reserved for philosophical, literary and artistic types. Consider the news headlines in such a society: "Young Ph. D. student claims to have refuted Kant"; "New metaphors in recent collection of poetry, says publisher"; "Will marry my secretary, admits Professor Hansen"; "Johnsen finally RECOVERED: New novel better than last one". Perhaps, to think of it, it is just as well that intellectual pursuits are confined to narrow spaces in black-and-white.

Buyer: KeyW Corp.
Target: Sotera Defense Solutions
Value: $235 million
Why: With this deal, KeyW doubled its size and made it the largest publicly-traded firm solely focused on the intelligence community. Sotera brought KeyW access to several large IDIQ contracts as government buyers increasingly turn to those vehicles for their needs. Sotera added 1,100 employees to the 1,000 KeyW already had. And eighty percent of staff hold security clearances.
The larger size and added contract vehicles are allowing KeyW to pursue contracts that it otherwise would not be able to.

Yesterday (March 22nd) I spent the whole day at the BPS Undergraduate Conference hosted by Edinburgh Napier University (#BPSscotUGconf). I don't blog very often but yesterday was such an interesting and positive event I wanted to say something about it and share some of the promising research and ideas that are coming from Scotland's psychology undergraduates.
Three hundred delegates from all over Scotland and the north of England got themselves to Edinburgh for the 9.30am start with 100 student presenters scheduled for the day. I attended five talks in the morning covering research on: malevolent personality and creativity; mindfulness; hair colour and attractiveness; how to improve the rehabilitation of young offenders; and our relationship with death. A wide variety of research methods were used from psychometric tests and statistical analyses, physiological measures of arousal, thematic analysis of e-mail interviews, and Lacanian discourse analysis.
I was very impressed with the way in which student presenters dealt with questions (particularly Edinburgh Napier's Eric Fitchel (researching mindfulness) and Amanda Diserholt (using Lacanian analysis). It was also great to see students so open to suggestions from the audience. Paula McGillian from the University of Abertay took my suggestion to consider women's hair colour preferences at sperm banks very well!
After lunch I delivered a short keynote lecture on therapeutic jurisprudence and future thoughts for forensic psychology. The blurb from the conference programme is here and my Prezi is here. Two key aims from my lecture were to introduce therapeutic jurisprudence to a wider audience, and to encourage a wider appreciation and use of different methodologies in forensic psychology. The references I used in my lecture are at the end of this blog post.
In the afternoon I chaired a session dedicated to forensic psychology which comprised the following students and projects: Dimitar Karadzhov – University of Glasgow – Psychopathy; Rebecca McCartan – University of Strathclyde – Implementation intentions; Ashley Blandford-Newson – University of Abertay – The CSI Effect; Samantha Termer – University of the West of Scotland – Ear witness line-ups; and Jennifer McAllister – University of Abertay – CCTV through deaf eyes.
All of these presentations were delivered in an engaging and enthusiastic way even by students who said they were really nervous beforehand. I learned about some new topics in this session and I will be using some of the content in my own teaching. Samantha's presentation on ear witness line-ups and emotion was all new to me and I will be including some of it in my fourth year module where I discuss the reliability of witnesses in different contexts. I was also fascinated by Jennifer's presentation on the differences between deaf and hearing people on a CCTV task. Her well designed study tested the detection abilities of deaf and hearing participants when detecting crimes on a panel of four CCTV screens. Deaf participants showed enhanced performance on this task. Jennifer's inspiration for this research came from a news story about deaf CCTV operatives in Mexico. I knew nothing about these differences until Jennifer's talk and this new knowledge will definitely feature in my teaching about the abilities of different witnesses. It was a superb talk to end the day with.
The conference concluded with a wine reception on the fifth floor of the Sighthill library which has floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of Edinburgh and the castle. I'd like to thank Dr Phyllis Laybourn not only for all her hard work organising the conference but also for providing photographs for this blog. Thank you to everyone who took part in the conference and I'm looking forward to next year's!
And finally, a few tweets:

Yesterday night was just beautiful. Did you see the moon? Funny story:
My brother and I were driving home from college at night and to our right we saw a bright light coming out from the mountains. (Yes, Arizona has mountains, but I believe the apt term is dirt hills) It looked like an orange torch, so pretty, and this is what he said:
It looks like an atomic bomb. (He said ever so gravely.)
He really thought it was a mushroom cloud. He got legitimately scared, which put me on edge, and it was just an awful time. I told him it was the moon but he didn't believe me. Crazy kid! But yeah, that was our stupid act of the day.
But lately I have been obsessed with the stars! I guess the whole horoscope change really got me into it. But the constellations in the winter are beautiful. Tonight, make an effort to look outside at the stars! Even with streetlights, it's pretty magnificent. I especially love that the cosmic prints are trending now.
What makes this trend so popular? I think it's our inner nerddom. These images exist in our lives, and that's kind of amazing. AND who wouldn't want the Polaris and Orion's Belt on your legs?! Science- get excited people!
Pictures are: one two three and four five

Cambridge, MA, Sept. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Welcome to IIoT-OXYS, Inc. (ITOX) and to the future of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)! This is our inaugural public communication. We couldn't be more excited to share our uniquely valuable vision for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and with it our strategy, roadmap and market focus. Together we'll do truly innovative things!
Core Value: Domain Intelligence at the Edge
Currently, there is a theory about the IIoT, and it goes like this: Data from billions and billions1 of connected devices will be pushed to the cloud where it will be processed and immediately turned into useful knowledge.
Pause to think about that.
Data from countless temperature sensors in buildings, soil sensors for farms, structural health monitors for bridges, electricity monitors for wind turbines, vibration monitors for machine tools, etc. . . . all this data will be pushed to cloud-based servers which will store, retrieve, sort, analyze and provide immediately useful information.
We believe that the notion of "billions and billions of devices" all pushing massive data feeds to the cloud is at the very least inefficient. In fact, we agree with those who say an Industrial Internet of Things tied strictly to cloud computers is not only inefficient; it's practically impossible.2
With the expected tens of billions of devices connected at the EDGE of the IIoT, simple math shows that it is physically impossible to send all of this raw data to the cloud within any meaningful timeframe and do something intelligent with it. There's a different way.
IIoT-OXYS develops and deploys hardware, firmware, software and systems at the "EDGE" of the IIoT. The EDGE is where the cyber world meets the physical world, and it's where we are innovating new solutions for our clients. Our edge devices, software and edge networks interpret conditions at the source — be it a farm, a bridge, a building, or a factory — and efficiently identify and transmit relevant, user-centric information. This is called INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE of the Industrial Internet of Things.
In short, our devices and systems help customers efficiently make immediate, domain-specific decisions impacting the health of their business right where they need it the most - at the EDGE.
Rapidly Getting Things Done at the Edge
We're excited to share that in 2017 we have already drawn together many of the essential components for our EDGE INTELLIGENCE application development and solutions services. We're not just reducing the complexity of the Edge of the IIoT. We're streamlining our core applications and solutions initiatives in order to rapidly provide real value to customers, clients, and partners.
Our development partners include some of the top universities, global manufacturing firms, and research institutions in the world, and we are located in one of the leading centers of global innovation: Cambridge, MA. We have started to work with large corporate and government clients to assist them with their Industrial Internet needs utilizing both open source and our unique and proprietary technologies.
On the product/revenue side, we are developing hardware/products for and with major automotive manufacturers, soil moisture and rain sensors with AgTech data services companies and agricultural sensor manufacturers, and are deploying structural health monitors alongside state governments. We're also conducting significant proofs of concept for edge nodes with a Fortune 50 chip manufacturer. In essence, we are rapidly moving to establish a public company dedicated to delivering innovative value at the EDGE.
Applications and Solutions at the Edge
How do we do this? Our strengths are geared toward rapid, partner-driven innovation in both products and services:
- Hardware: Design and develop rugged, adaptable hardware. We design and develop reconfigurable hardware architecture that adapts to a wide range of customer needs and applications.
- Software: Utilize proprietary and open source software tools. We fully leverage open source software tools while still creating proprietary content for customers, thereby reducing software development time and cost.
- Intelligence: Edge computing algorithms. Since we don't waste time developing tools, we focus on developing insights. We have developed powerful edge computing algorithms that help our customers create insights from vast data streams.
- Data: Utilize data to serve the existing and emerging needs of customers. Since we are uniquely positioned to understand the needs of clients at the source of data and to provide tailored solutions for each customer, we can source, segment and deliver value-added data to customers.
On the IIoT-OXYS Horizon
Despite being an early stage company, we have already made significant progress both on our underlying technology and identifying those early adopter customers with immediate needs. We have already started engaging customers to save cost, improve efficiency, and more effectively utilize resources.
In the near future, we intend to work toward developments and deployments on many fronts including:
- Partnerships, joint ventures and mergers with other companies, clients and partners;
- Leading applications to manufacturing in the smart factory to make machines more efficient, to save energy, and reduce maintenance cost;
- Smart infrastructure and monitoring large structures to ensure public safety;
- Smart agriculture and solving vital resource problems in markets around the world;
- Collaborations with leading universities and research institutions around the world to develop powerful, industry-leading edge intelligence and advanced algorithms;
- Exploring applications to the Medical Internet of Things (MIoT) to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and streamline delivery of medical services;
- International technology partnerships for developing new product and services;
- Partnerships with industry leaders, new channel partners, distributors, and contract manufacturers.
Seeing Over the Horizon, Together
For all the reasons we mentioned above, we anticipate that EDGE COMPUTING will become the dominant trend in IIoT in the very near future. We believe we are well-poised to successfully take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. Going beyond the cloud-based IIoT structure of today, IIoT-OXYS is already creating efficient and effective systems that provide edge-computed, domain-relevant data in real time. Our products and services are already helping states and cities monitor bridges, farmers manage irrigation and water resources, and plant managers manage production, maintenance and energy consumption. We are pleased to be starting this journey with our partners, customers, clients, and investors. As we set out to transform the Edge of the Industrial Internet of Things we are glad to be in great company.
