The Alliance member, Regional Tourism Organization of Southern Africa (RETOSA) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2013 Youth in Tourism Essay Competition in order to raise tourism awareness among the youth.
"We are strategically targeting children in primary and secondary schools with the hope that our efforts in trying to make Tourism an integral part of their school curricular will be realised," said Regional Tourism Organisation of Southern Africa, Acting Executive Director, Simba Mandinyenya.
With the competition essay themed 'Turning Southern Africa into a Competitive and Green Tourism Destination', Mandinyenya explained that they desire to engage and expose the youth to critical tourism issues and get them involved in national and regional tourism at a tender age as it would be easier for them to take over the reigns as they are the leaders of tomorrow.
"Africa receives 3 percent of the tourism receipts in the world and it also gets 5 percent of arrivals. Of these, Southern Africa only receives 2 percent of both, yet the region has; if put together, arguably the best tourism resource base in the world. In this respect RETOSA believes it is strategic for the youth to become a driving force in tourism development at national and regional level so that the region grows its share of the global tourism cake," he said.
Most significant is the ideal fact that the two winners of the essay competition from both primary and secondary school level will be named Junior Ministers. Winners from both levels will be announced during the first week of September 2013 and will be invited to come and present their essays at the Youth in Tourism Regional Conference to be held in Malawi in October 2013. The conference will be sponsored by the Government of Malawi; particularly the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Culture and the Japan International Cooperation Agency. The winning secondary level Junior Tourism Minister will subsequently represent the region at the global Junior Tourism Ministers Competition, whose dates will be announced in the future.
Entrants of the competition are expected to post their submissions by 15 September 2013 and judges will announce the winners in September 2013 while RETOSA will present its winners at the Youth in Tourism Conference on 23-24 October 2013, in Malawi.
RETOSA calls upon all the youth in tourism in Southern Africa to come in their numbers to participate and input into the regional agenda on tourism development in Southern Africa with specific focus on how the youth can play a meaningful role in tourism development in the region.

The Kress Emporium, located on the corner of Patton Avenue and Lexington Avenue in downtown Asheville, showcases the work of over 80 regional artists. Originally a S. H. Kress & Co. department store, the Emporium is now an integral part of the local arts and crafts scene, helping bring consumers (and art lovers) closer to handmade fine arts and collectibles.
Samuel H. Kress envisioned all of his department store buildings to be works of public art, contributing greatly to the cityscapes they were integrated into. The Kress building in Asheville is no exception, drawing heavily on neoclassical motifs….featuring ceramic tile, intricate terracotta ornament, and strong vertical lines. Today, the building remains a rich architectural landmark, and is worth a visit just to appreciate the historic splender found in and around it.
But the main focus of the building today is the Emporium. Inside, you'll find a large array of handmade art, crafts, jewelry, home goods, fashion, and unique gifts. Open 7 days a week, the Kress Emporium is a must stop for visitors and anyone looking for locally made pieces that are crafted to appreciate in value, and be a focal point wherever they find a home. The Emporium is truly a showcase for beautiful expression.
The Kress Emporium is definitely worth a visit for anyone in the area, and is a great place to take a stroll and peruse some finely made crafts and art…and to also admire the historical qualities the building has to offer.

Punjab coal supply hopes rest on uncertain mine allocation
There's uncertainty over the reallocation of Jharkhand's Pachwara mine to Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), and so the coal supply to the state-owned power plants in Rupnagar, Bathinda and Lehra Mohabbat also looks doubtful after March 31.chandigarh Updated: Feb 25, 2015 11:07 IST
There's uncertainty over the reallocation of Jharkhand's Pachwara mine to Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), and so the coal supply to the state-owned power plants in Rupnagar, Bathinda and Lehra Mohabbat also looks doubtful after March 31.
Even if the mine is reallocated, it'll be for more than `1,100 crore, a cost that will be passed on to the consumers. The PSPCL along with a joint-venture company of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and the Railways has bid for the mine. As to why it wants the same mine again is best known to it.
The reallocation tenders wouldn't be opened until March 5, as the deadline has been extended from February 23 to accommodate more coal blocks on the auction list. The Union Coal Ministry will receive bids for another four days (until February 27).
Last September, the Supreme Court had cancelled the allocation of almost all coal blocks, ordered fresh auction, and asked the operators to deposit `295 per tonne as penalty on the fuel consumed. The PSPCL was liable to pay up `1,502 crore, of which it only submitted `389 crore.
Panem, a joint venture company of the PSPCL and EMTA (Eastern Mineral Trading Agency), operates the Pachwara mine. "The PSPCL, by rules required to pay only 26% of the penalty, will have to pay the entire amount because it consumed the entire coal extracted, so far, from the mine," said a senior officer in the state electricity corporation, adding that making part payment was accepting the liability of paying the full amount.
The mine supplies 7 to 8 million tonne coal to the three thermal power stations of Punjab, which fulfils up to 60% of the 13 million tonne fuel requirement of these units.
Panem asked the PSPCL recently to pay for the coal and freight in advance, to which the Punjab council of ministers has agreed. Top officials in the state electricity department consider coal supply uncertain until the ministry completes reallocation on March.
The power-sector experts debate the Supreme Court penalty on the PSPCL, since the Pachwara mine was allotted to the erstwhile state electricity board when Punjab needed cheap coal to cover up its disadvantage of location and save heavy freight cost. "The mine was allotted to Punjab to help it out, and the coal ministry was not earning anything out of it," said a retired PSPCL officer.

Haiku Poetry Day 2019 is on Wednesday, April 17, 2019: when did Haiku poetry start?
Wednesday, April 17, 2019 is Haiku Poetry Day 2019. April 17, 2012: Blah Blah Blah Day, Haiku Poetry Day, Cheeseball Day National Haiku Poetry Day:
Haiku Poetry Day encourages you to definitely try your hands at short, Japanese poems stay with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5 and you're off and away to an excellent start – but it's a lot more complex than that!To craft an ideal Haiku, you have to include some seasonality, along with a 'cut' (whether word or through punctuation) to produce a comparison between your styles and content from the haiku.
Haiku originally emerged from 'Hokku' (Meaning 'Starting verse'). But in those days (Around the Mid-1600's), Hokkus were used only with Haiki no Renga (Prose mixed with Poetry). In a long narration, a Hokku (Opening line) was used to capture the entire feeling of the prose, but was never viewed as a separate poetry format.
But with time, 'Hokku' was separated from prose. It was Masaoka Shiki (1867–1902) who gave the name 'Haiku' and declared it as independent. However, Matuso Basho (1644–1694) and his students promoted 'Hokku' as an independent format long before the format was even named 'Haiku'.
After this, as with most poetry formats, new possibilities emerged in Haiku writing. The two most important being - Yosa Buson endorsing Haiga (Haiku combined with corresponding art) and Kobayashi Issa introducing human feelings. As said before, Masaoka Shiki not only coined the term 'Haiku', but modernized it so as to open it to all kinds of people.
In the Early 19th century, Haiku began spreading in the nearby colonies (Europe, England and America) and by the end of 20th century, Haiku had become an important part of English poems. Many languages express varied notions of Haiku, but English haikus have come to rule over everything - even Japanese and Chinese haikus themselves.
Any Haikus...?

Feelings of anguish.
Gods' army of rain.

Penny University
One of the more popular brunch places in the East has got to be Penny University. It was a pretty small cafe though, which probably explained for the long waiting list.
For $12, the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon was definitely worth every penny! There was a decent serving of poached eggs and smoked salmon, atop the sourdough toasts. The homemade hollandaise sauce was smooth, rich and slightly buttery. The poached eggs were bit undercooked though, with the egg whites a tad too raw. The smoked salmon wasn't too salty. The thin slices easily disintegrated in our mouths. The sourdough toasts were fluffy, not too starchy or heavy. Due to the thin layer of jam, it was more towards being sweet than sour.
The Flourless Chocolate Cake ($8.50) was very dense and packed full of chocolately goodness. The crust was very crumbly and generously dusted and covered with cocoa powder. The chocolate cake was akin to a slab of chocolate fudge. Decadent, smooth and bitter sweet chocolate to satisfy the chocoholics in us.

Thanksgiving is approaching! Ahh the holidays always seem to creep up on me and possibly you too… No need to worry I have you covered in the Pie department! Last week I went out to eat with my brother and asked what kind of pie he wanted this year, because he always seems to have an opinion on what I've baked, so this year I covered my butt and asked in advance. He wanted pumpkin, my mom wanted traditional apple, and well… I'm never easy and really enjoyed baking a pecan pie last year that I wanted to make again this year so instead of choosing one… I hired my mom and we made all three! It is the trifecta of Thanksgiving pies!
CHEATER ALERT – I do not make my own pie crust, please no judging, I'm just not there yet and the crust isn't the important part… the filling is!
Decorations – When you see the pictures of the pies you will notice some have cut outs. I bought these last Thanksgiving at Williams & Sonoma and they just make the pie's so perfect! They have them for every season too so check it out! They may even be on clearance!
Pie 1 – Pumpkin
This is an age-old recipe I've been told never fails. I used Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie recipe, however, instead of using the 12 fl ounces of evaporated milk, I used half and half. I'm told it makes the pie more moist and delicious! I'll have a better idea on Thursday when I have my first ever piece of pumpkin pie!
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Ground Ginger
1/4 Tsp. Ground Cloves
2 Large Eggs
1 Can Libby's Pure Pumpkin
1 1/2 Cups Half & Half
1 Unbaked 9in Deep Dish Pie Crust (MUST BE DEEP!)
Preheat the oven to 450 Degrees (F). Mix all the spices together in a bowl, whisk in the eggs, pour in the pumpkin, and gradually add the half and half as you mix together. Once all the ingredients are mixed together pour filling into the pie crust.
Bake the pie at 450 Degrees (F) for 15minutes once those 15minutes are finished turn the oven down to 350 Degrees (F) for another 40-50 Minutes until a knife or toothpick comes out clean.
In the pictures you will notice we added tin-foil around the pie, this was to prevent burning and just keeping a tint of golden to the crust. Once the pie is complete let it stand for 2hours. Then refrigerate or serve immediately.
*If you decide to add the decoration place on top of the pie about 10-15 minutes before the pie should be done. This will give that piece a nice tint of brown and make the pie very festive for the table.
Pie #2 – Apple Pie
My great Nana Clough made the best apple pie, according to my mom, so what better way to remember a family members at the holidays but to bake up their most delicious recipe. I love making recipes that my family members have made long before I was even a thought. So here it is my Nana Clough's Apple Pie recipe.
7 Apples Core and Skinned
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tbsp. Flour
1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1/4 Tsp. Ground Nutmeg
2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1 1/2 Tbsp. Butter
1/4 Cup Milk
Preheat oven to 425 Degree (F). Once the apples have been skinned and the core has been removed and they are sliced thin, pour the lemon juice over them, this prevents them from browning, and they spice mix will mask the taste of the lemon, don't worry about that!
Start by mixing all the dry ingredients together. Once those have been mixed pour it over the apples and get messy. Dig your hands in there and start to flip the apples until they are all covered. After you have completed that, place it in the pie pan and cut up the butter into small slices and place over the pie.
After that is done put the top crust on and then brush the top with the milk. Your pie is now ready to bake for 40-45 Minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are nice and tender.
*Add the tin foil again after 15minutes to keep the crust from burning.
Pie # 3 – pecan Pie
Growing up I was never a fan of pie, I enjoyed my ice cream and called it a day… until I discovered pecan pie and then it was over I was in love and I needed to learn how to make it and Thanksgiving last year seemed like the perfect time! I found this recipe on the Food Network website and I will use it till the day I die… my children and grandchildren will know it as "Shelagh's pecan Pie," but you will all learn I didn't come up with this recipe I found it and swear by it! It's so simple and the outcome makes you go back for seconds.
5 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
1 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Light Corn Syrup
1/2 Tsp. Salt
2 Cups Chopped & Toasted Pecans
2 Tbsp. Bourbon
2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
3 Eggs
For this recipe it's important to pre-bake the pie crust just a little bit I bake it at 350 Degrees (F) for 10Minutes just to defrost the crust and help it set for this filling.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir constantly, continue to boil for 1 Minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the nuts, bourbon, and vanilla. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly (5Minutes), try to align with the pre-bake so the pie crust is still hot when filling. Bake for about 40-50 Minutes or until the edges are light brown but the center is still slightly loose.
All of these pies can be eaten after cooling. Just remember to add the whip cream and ice cream to make it complete! Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving from my Family to Yours!
Well it's that time of year again… my favorite time of year! It's time for apple picking and apple baking! Last weekend my mom, my brothers girlfriend Meghan, and I went apple picking and got some amazing macintosh and cortland apples, which happen to be the best for baking.
We had such a good time and the weather was perfect! But, I know that's not why you came on here, so lets get down to the delicious stuff… the apple crisp! Ever since I started working at Gillette we have apple crisp a lot and I crave it constantly so I knew thats what I needed to make with these apples.
In order to make apple crisp you must have the following ingredients:
4 Medium Sized Apples (Skinned, Coored, & Sliced) – I used Macintosh
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Dried Oats
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon (Never enough cinnamon.. I may add a little more than a teaspoon)
3/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1/3 Cup Butter (Softened)
*And to finish it you will NEED Ice cream!
Set the Oven to 375 and while thats warming up get mixing! This recipe is really easy and quick once you have skinned, coored, and sliced the apples then it goes real fast.
Once the apples have been cut spread them out amongst an 8×8 Pan that has been greased, I like to use Pam baking, but it's your preference really. In a seperate bowl mix those other ingredients together and dont be afraid to get your hands a little dirty when mixing in that butter. Once those are mixed together spread it on top of the apples and at that point your oven should be ready to bake!
Baking time is about 30minutes or until the top crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
The end result not only taste good but it makes the house smell delicious like fall and the whole family will love you for baking!

Frontline AIDS by Brandpie
When it comes to addressing the worldwide epidemic of AIDS and HIV, there are a number of barriers which NGOs can find themselves up against.

From biomimicry to collective intelligence, the speakers at Nudgestock delivered a similar message, that the world as a whole is greater and more fascinating than the sum of its parts.
For the last six years, Nudgestock has taken place on a clifftop pavilion in Folkstone. Much like the festival goers of its 1969 namesake, we were there to expand our minds. Joni Mitchell described Woodstock as, "a spark of beauty where half-a-million kids saw that they were part of a greater organism." From biomimicry to collective intelligence, the speakers at Nudgestock delivered a similar message, that the world as a whole is greater and more fascinating than the sum of its parts.
The day was curated by Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman of Ogilvy. His introduction dove headfirst into the term 'behavioural science,' "in science the opposite of a good idea is usually wrong. In real life the opposite of a good idea is possibly another good idea." He warned against drawing conclusions from data without context and advised the audience to look for rules, not patterns.
From architects to economists, this event was about the cross-pollination of ideas. Here's a snapshot of our favourite talks from the day.
Visitors to the Biomimicry Museum would enter by walking over an oasis garden supplied with water captured from the air by a roof surface inspired by camel's nostrils and the ancient art of ice-making. This project in the Middle East, although unfortunately never built, is an ode to a biologically inspired design approach known as biomimicry. And Michael Pawlyn has built his architecture studio around this practice. His Biomimetic Office design found inspiration from spookfish, stone plants and brittlestars for daylighting solutions, and bird skulls, cuttlebone, sea urchins and giant amazon water lilies for the structure. Pawlyn's curiosity to examine systems in nature and transform them for human needs makes you wonder why designers don't spend all of their time in the natural world.
It's perhaps not surprising that social networks influence our thoughts. This talk was the summary of ten years work putting networks under a social magnifying glass. When modelled, our familiar online networks have exactly the same social structure as the African Hadza roving hunter-gatherers. This showed Christakis and his team that social influence is imbedded within human genetics. The degrees of influence – induction, homophily and context - are the same wherever you come from. Giving the example of carbon, in one formation the atoms create graphite, in another they make a diamond. Christakis argued that connections really matter. Putting the right people in the right place can achieve more productive outcomes. Done on a global level this could really influence life for everyone on earth.
In her bestselling book, How to Have a Good Day, Webb argues that insights from behavioural economics, psychology and neuroscience can, and should, be used to improve our working lives. Our brain directs attention to things that match what's already at the top of mind, our aims, attitudes and assumptions, filtering out most other information that's around us. But even mild stress can cause a rapid and dramatic loss of pre-frontal cognitive ability, the area we use to think. We can boost competence and control by reciting what it is we know and what we can shape. In the end we only tend to remember the most intense moment in a day and the way it ends, the peak end effect. By writing three good things that happened at the end of every day, it's possible to change the way the memory of our day gets stored.
The biggest revelation was discovering that when Booking.com says there's only one room left, they're telling the truth. Oomen and Rozario, part of Booking.com's dedicated behavioural insights team, were on stage to talk about the tricks they use to help, and keep, people on their booking journey. Scarcity – the desire to have things that are rare. Authority – our desire to follow an expert. Social proof – how we want to follow others. Consistency – taking into account our search behaviour and presenting us the most relatable options. Similarity – showing what people like us also liked.

Dear Parents,
GAAPTA is running its annual magazine campaign from QSP to raise funds to support the learning at GAA. This year we have decided to start the campaign in November as we thought what better gift than a magazine subscription for Christmas, the holidays or any other special occasion.
Ordering the magazines is simple. It can be done two ways, either online or by completing the order form sent home with your children. All the details are outlined in the attached flyer and in the package being sent home.
The fundraiser will begin November 5th and orders are due in to homeroom teachers by November 30th. However, the online campaign will continue throughout the whole school year. This gives us plenty of opportunity to raise funds for learning at GAA as well as giving family and friends a great gift.
Let's have some fun with this great fundraiser! We can promote reading and learning in an exciting way, not to mention win prizes that are available for reaching certain fundraising goals (see your package for details).
GAAPTA thanks you for your help with this campaign. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Nicole Niejadlik (Kai's mom from JK) at email@example.com or 905-870-3235.
Please click here for more information.

Between Good Friday and Easter Former U*U Minister Rev. Mary Scriver Helps To Resurrect The Issue Of Clergy Sexual Misconduct In The UUA
Robin Edgar said...
:Religion and congregations with ministers are about power. The minister is the focus of the power -- those who control the minister control the resources of their congregation.
(quoted from Prairie Mary)
Needless to say, especially within Unitarian*Universalism where congregational polity makes U*U churches highly independent, those who control the resources of their congregation control the minister. . . Right Mary? If a U*U minister displeases those who control the resources of the congregation, i.e. the Board of the church and perhaps also some well-heeled "pillars of the church", the minister can be fired or pressured into resigning.
:They have a certain underground status, access to normally undisclosed information, and influence on the ministers' actions.
(quoted from Prairie Mary)
Indeed they do, I doubt very much that Rev. Ray Drennan would have dared to label me as "psychotic", trash my monotheistic religious beliefs as being nothing but "silliness and fantasy", and falsely and maliciously label Creation Day as a "cult" (i.e. "normally undisclosed information" as it were) if he did not feel that he had the "moral support" of the Board and other influential members of the Unitarian Church of Montreal who were whispering such things behind my back more than a year before he was selected as the minister of the church. . . In light of how the Board of the church, to say nothing of the UUA and MFC, responded to my complaint Rev. Ray Drennan quite evidently did have that support. No doubt a similar "social dynamic" can and does take place in some cases of clergy sexual misconduct as well.
:This is particularly true of illicit relationships, because another huge source of power in a hierarchical institution is secrets: being able to blackmail, to attach information seekers to oneself, to influence events.
(quoted from Prairie Mary)
To be honest I sometimes wonder if one of the reasons that so little is done about clergy sexual misconduct in the UUA is because U*U ministers have various types of "dirt" on each other and use it to "blackmail" their colleagues into inaction when they are accused of misconduct themselves. . . When one knows that UUA President Bill Sinkford is himself suspected of being guilty of clergy sexual misconduct one can't help but consider the possibility that maybe just maybe his suspected or actual clergy sexual misconduct goes a long way to explaining why so little was done about clergy sexual misconduct, or indeed non-sexual misconduct, during his eight year term as President of the UUA. The very reason that Nashville U*Us wrote that Open Letter is because the UUA failed miserably to live up to the promise of the apparently less than sincere "apology" that it delivered to victims of U*U clergy sexual misconduct at the 2000 UUA GA in Nashville almost a decade ago now.
prairie mary said...
Robin is quite right on all counts.
But don't just blame the minister. Parishioners collude.
Prairie Mary
Thank you for that very public validation of the concerns that I have shared here Mary. I really do try to be right in what I say. If I think that I may be wrong about something I usually hold my tongue, or state clearly that I might be mistaken about what I am suggesting.
My comment in no way blames only the minister. Au contraire, I think that I made it abundantly clear that not only the Board and congregation of the Unitarian Church of Montreal actively or passively colluded with Rev. Ray Drennan's insulting and defamatory attack on me, which arose from his "fundamentalist atheist" intolerance and bigotry, but they UUA and MFC effectively colluded in it as well thanks to their negligent and effectively complicit response to my complain about Rev. Ray Drennan's intolerant and abusive clergy misconduct. In fact, as I am sure you are very aware, the collusion of parishioners, professional colleagues aka other *fellowshipped* U*U ministers, as well as UUA officials and administrators, many of whom are *fellowshipped* U*U ministers themselves, as is clear in terms of the Ministerial *Fellowship* Committee handling complaints about U*U clergy misconduct of all kinds, is a serious problem. Collusion, be it active support for the transgressive minister and active oppression of the victim, or simply sheep-like passive acceptance of the minister's transgressive behavior and the further victimization of the victim by other U*Us, including U*U clergy. . . is a serious part of the overall problem of clergy misconduct of all kinds. Active or passive collusion of U*U parishioners and U*U clergy is very common and it always adds further insult and injury to the original injustices and abuses initial clergy misconduct, whatever it may be.
I am acutely aware of the collusion of U*U parishioners, as some of my U*UTube videos of my peaceful public protest in front of the Unitarian Church of Montreal should make clear. I have repeatedly spoken about the collusion of DIM Thinking, i.e. Denial, (Willful) Ignorance and Minimization of unethical behavior, of Unitarian*Universalists in their negligent and effectively complicit (to say nothing of unjustly punitive. . .) responses to my own complaints about clergy misconduct, and other people's complaints about clergy misconduct.
You said that I am "quite right on all points" I would just like to confirm that this includes my point about my "educated guess" aka "sneaking suspicion" that one of the reasons that so little is done about clergy sexual misconduct in the UUA is because U*U ministers have various types of "dirt" on each other and use it to "blackmail" their colleagues into inaction when they are accused of misconduct themselves. If you could confirm that and shed more light on that situation it would be most appreciated not only by me but by other victims of U*U clergy misconduct including, indeed perhaps especially, victims of clergy sexual misconduct.
BTW You might want to browse through the "good cop" of the U*U World's blog devoted to UUA (mis) handling of clergy sexual misconduct. Although it is no longer active, because its author was "discouraged" by some UUA administrator's negative responses to it, it is well worth reading. Comments are no longer being accepted since the author has left the blog dormant but you might want to pick up where uugrrl left off on her 'Speaking Truth To Power' blog by commenting on some of her blog posts in your own blog posts here. I intend to do what I can to make the UUA's ongoing mishandling of all forms of clergy misconduct a UUA Presidential campaign issue. You could be an important voice in that ongoing struggle for justice, equity and compassion within the U*U World if you dare to choose that fate. ;-)
Thank you for your helpful input so far,
Robin Edgar
The Emerson Avenger
Here is an additional follow-up comment that I just submitted at about 7pm TEA time -
:The point is that ministers, esp. now that females and older second-career people are common, may also be scared, dislocated, lonely, or confused.
That may well be true in some cases but allow me to point out that female U*U ministers, and older second-career people (female or otherwise), are perfectly capable of engaging in various forms of clergy misconduct, including clergy sexual misconduct. I know of one case of a lesbian U*U minister making unwanted sexual advances to a female parishioner and U*U minister Rev. Mack Mitchell was in his 50's when he invited some young Tibetan girls to his parish and forcibly raped them.
:Predators -- who may be laity or may be colleagues -- are happy for the opportunities. Where's the book and the workshops for that?
Good question. Chances are pretty good that it doesn't exist. I would be the first to acknowledge that there are predators of various kinds, including sexual predators, in the U*U laity, in fact I could name a few. One who jumps off the page is a "pillar of the church" of an unmentionable U*U church in Massachusett's who was convicted of forcibly raping preteen girls at a time when he was "sixty something" and they were "ten something" if that. . . I suppose that the UUA's Safe Congregations Program addresses these issues to some extent but, like many other U*U policies and "guidelines", the letter and the spirit of the UUA's Safe Congregations policies are probably disregarded and left unimplemented and unenforced in too many cases.
:When I was in the ministry, on two different occasions men I hardly knew bluntly asked me for sex. Could I have sued them for that?
Probably not but, in theory, you could have taken other action if they persisted in their demands if or when you rejected them.
:If they had used force, of course, I could have simply gone to the criminal law.
Of course.
:Should a female minister do that?
Why not?
:What tough old cop wouldn't laugh?

Much like registering to live in Germany, (click here to find out about the Anmeldung process) securing health insurance in Germany is mandatory whilst you are living in the country. So, apart from the fact you simply have to have insurance in Germany, it's also extremely worth it, especially if you end up sick, injured in an accident, become pregnant or even need to see your local general practitioner for a common cold.
Health Insurance
In German, health insurance is known as Krankenversicherung, and you can be covered by either public or private insurance. Let's break it down so you know which one is right for you.
Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung – State public insurance
The majority of employees in Germany are on this state German health insurance system, called Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung (GKV) and with most businesses; it is likely they will organise it for you upon your term of employment if you agree. However, you are free to then change your insurance provider after 18 months membership in your original allocated company. This health insurance is for people who earn up to €57,600 per year, It is the most common form of Krankenversicherung in Germany and is used by over 70 million people.
GKV covers you for GP doctors visit, in and outpatient hospital care, x-rays, sick leave, most medical treatments and medications, rehabilitation, basic dental and giving birth in Germany. It also covers spouses and children at no extra costs.
There are around 118 Insurance companies, Krankenkassen, in Germany to choose from and although they may vary in coverage, they all charge the same basic rate, which is 14.6%, plus a median supplemental rate of 1.1% of your gross salary.
Krankenversicherung – Private insurance
If you wish, you can switch to a private, and more extensive, health insurance known as Private Krankenversicherung (PKV), but if you earn less than €57,600 a year, you must stay on the state system. If you earn over this amount, are self-employed, or a civil servant, then the choice is yours.
PKV (private) doesn't cover children or partners without extra charges and only around one in 10 German residents choose private insurance. You can, however, get access to more specialized treatments or particular doctors, a shorter waiting period for specialists, and access to doctors, which only see private health insurance customers. It is also more likely you'll be able to find an English-speaking doctor when you need one.
There are up to 40 private insurance companies in Germany, with various benefit and premium combinations to suit your budget. If you wish to be privately insured but are moving to Germany for a work position, you'll need to inform your place of employment as soon as possible to avoid any confusing cross over's of predetermined insurance funds.
How do you choose?
It is different for everyone, but choosing a health insurance fund can become a very personal decision. It is important to think about your income: if you have family members dependent on you, your health, and how comfortable you are within the German health system and language.
One of the main differences between the two options is that on private you'll most likely be covered for the entire amount charged, albeit you have to pay the practitioner first from your own pocket before claiming it all back with your insurance company. With state insurance, you pay a small co-payment at the time of picking up a prescription, or visiting a physician, and the amount will depend on the medication or service you are using. If it's a dental bill you can expect to pay anywhere from 20% – 70% of the bill on state insurance. Private insurance covers much more in dental services.
The best advice on the topic of health insurance in Germany is to know exactly what you are covered for and how much you can expect to pay. But, regardless of if you are private or state, insurance contributions are split evenly between employees and employers. You also need health insurance in Germany if you are wishing to apply for a residence permit or German visa.

Five years on, what are my key observations as a Member of Parliament?
Firstly, there is no magic money tree. For two decades we increased our borrowings from two times our national income to five times, piling up debts that reduced opportunities for our children and grandchildren.
There are no easy answers, just difficult decisions as we get back to living within our means, and we should be wary of those who fail to recognise the importance of strengthening our economy and restoring our finances.
Secondly, there are too many professional politicians who lack any experience outside of the political world. We need more independently-minded citizen legislators in Parliament and locally.
Third, leadership matters. From our hospital which is improving radically, to our local businesses, which have helped Bedford's unemployment fall by 40%, to our faith and volunteer groups helping with compassion those who fall through the net. Effective leadership has made the biggest difference.
Fourthly, securing our nation's defence should come first but it is getting lost as a priority. All our freedoms, all our history, our place in the world, depend on a strong and effective military and our politicians need to recognise this before it is too late.
Fifth, from immigration to poverty to mental health and other issues, politicians should talk less and listen more, but then also be ready to act when action is necessary.
Finally, it is a true privilege to serve as a Member of Parliament.

Nothing More's New Album - The Stories We Tell Ourselves - Out Now - Top 15 US Billboard
Nothing More are a band that never take no for an answer, and that's no more apparent than on their new album "The Stories We Tell Ourselves."
Nothing More's relentless work ethic for over a decade led to the breakout success of their 2014 self-titled album, and have since continued to combine pop sensibilities with experimentation in arrangement, emotional honesty in songwriting, and creative, high energy, borderline-absurd stage shows.

Hollywood Elites Are Now Openly Calling For the Murder of Conservatives (Video)
'Kill Glenn Beck' draws laughs.
Bill Maher commented on the Bush-bashing Pentagon shooter and registered democrat on his show last night:
"Why Couldn't (it) Have Been Glenn Beck?"
Apparently, calling for the murder of conservatives is now acceptable speech for the Far Left and Hollywood.
Via BreitbartTV:
And yet despite this, the state-run media wants you to believe that the grandmothers and business owners at the tea party protests are the dangerous ones.

When I was in college, here in New York City, I discovered Kander and Ebb when I bought a ticket to stand in the back of the theater to see Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson (she should rest in peace) in Cabaret.
Last week, M and I went back to the Roundabout Theater, which had one again be turned into the Kit Kat Club, to see Alan Cumming reprise his role as the Emcee. This time I got to sit at a table in the front.
The theater was packed, and from what I could see, the only empty seats in the house were at our little table.
During the first half of the show, Alan Cumming, in character, walked through the crowd and sat himself right next to me.
He turned to me and smiled. I responded with what may have the world's goofiest, giddiest grin.
The man is truly remarkable. I'm quite certain he's over 50. The role is grueling. He spends most of the evening wearing next to nothing, if anything at all. And he killed it. He was so damn remarkable, that I'd go back again, and still drink what may have been the world's worst gin and tonic (ok, two of them) just to see him.
I know the bar is low. I know that spending the evening out of the presence of children is enough to earn rave reviews. Really, I know it. I know that M and I could be sitting in the back of a burned out bus eating corn from the can, and I'd be jubilant. But talent on this scale is really something to behold, even if you are not a show tune nerd. New Yorkers, if you haven't seen it, you should.

When the Republican Party convened in Cleveland in July to nominate Donald Trump for president, Fox News was led by Chairman Roger Ailes and the prime-time lineup of Greta Van Susteren, Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity.
Nine months later, only Hannity remains.
The network's parent company, 21st Century Fox, on Wednesday confirmed a report by New York magazine that O'Reilly is finished at Fox News.
"After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and Bill O'Reilly have agreed that Bill O'Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel," the statement read.
Matt Drudge put the reported shake-up in perspective, with characteristic subtlety:
A once-unthinkable move had begun to seem inevitable. Multiple news outlets, including the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, reported Tuesday night that Fox News is preparing to sack the King of Cable News, as advertisers fled his top-rated program in response to a New York Times report that O'Reilly and the network have paid $13 million to five women over the years to settle claims of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct. Murdoch also owns Fox News.
Earlier Tuesday, attorney Lisa Bloom said she had taken the case of a sixth woman who claims O'Reilly sexually harassed her.
Amid turmoil, Fox News has remained a ratings juggernaut. In the first quarter of this year, the network averaged 2.7 million viewers between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET, double the viewership of second-place MSNBC. The newcomers have fared particularly well. Martha MacCallum, in Van Susteren's old time slot, delivered Fox News's most-watched quarter ever at 7 p.m. Tucker Carlson, who replaced Kelly, did the same in the 9 p.m. hour.
But how many more changes can Fox News withstand?
Van Susteren and Kelly were popular, but O'Reilly was in another class. He had been the face of the network since its launch in 1996 and the most-watched cable news host 15 years in a row.
Even the cloud of sexual harassment had not darkened O'Reilly's ratings; in fact, he was enjoying a boost in viewership before signing off last Tuesday for what he described as a long-planned vacation. He was scheduled to return Monday.
O'Reilly's fill-ins – Dana Perino, Eric Bolling and Greg Gutfeld – have drawn smaller audiences. Then again, ratings were not really the problem. Dozens of advertisers pulled out of "The O'Reilly Factor." It didn't matter how many people tuned in, if companies refused to book commercials.
Besides principles of right and wrong, which are not always paramount in business, there was Fox News' brand image to consider. Sexual harassment allegations forced out Ailes, and with similar accusations dogging O'Reilly, the network appeared hostile to women.
A company's reputation is a difficult thing to quantify, but consider this: As of Monday, the Fox affiliate in Boston, the nation's ninth-largest media market, will change the name of its local newscast from "Fox 25 News" to "Boston 25 News" because it considers the Fox brand a liability.

Hi Everyone,
We held a successful coffee morning in the Venta Florentina on Wednesday 2nd March; it was mooted that maybe an evening games evening would be good (scrabble, ludo etc.) and that it should be a monthly event. Please let us know what you think; email us at email@example.com
After a very quiet time since Christmas, we've had a spate of calls for help. We have been able to help even at late notice but of course, that relies on the goodwill of volunteers. We are always looking for more volunteers so if you feel you would like to help, please contact our lifeline or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bob our president, has been very busy; first he gave the guest speaker lecture at the Ladies Breakfast club and received a magnificent donation of 200€ and then the next day went to the annual Age Concern España meeting where all branches exchange ideas etc. He will update us all later.
Ann has now stopped doing our fund raising raffle at the Monday Quiz nights at the Venta Florentina and her place will be taken by Carol & myself but if anyone wants to volunteer to help, please contact us through the life line or email@example.com. However any of us will be happy to receive prizes suitable for the raffle; we were lucky enough to receive four Easter Eggs for the last one.
