A suit has been filed against the state and Ghana Police Service over the shooting and desertion of 10-year-old Dorothy Appiah.
On Friday November 18, the legal action was formally instituted through her father Edward Asare. He is demanding an amount of two million and twenty thousand cedis [GH¢2,020,000.00] in compensation for causing his daughter permanent disability.
The writ filed at the Human Right Court in Accra gives the Attorney General and the Inspector General of Police eight (8) days to respond.
Speaking to GHOne News, Human Rights lawyer Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu who is representing Dorothy Appiah as legal aide in seeking justice said "the fact is that there is a wrong perpetuated by officers of the state and the state is vicariously liable for the thought and the negligence of all these police officers."
Lawyer Sosu further explained that "having exhausted the 30-day notice that we needed to give the Attorney-General, we are representing the little girl in a human right action for some compensation for the girl so that we can ensure that she will have this holistic treatment that we're all seeking for."
"Once the case has been filed, we would expect that the Attorney General would have been served and we are expecting that they would respect the court and enter appearance and subsequently file their defense and then we can go to court and put our evidence before the court."
"We are seeking a declaration that the state owes this girl a duty of care and that, that duty has been negligently breached and the girl has suffered substantial injury as a result of that breach…," the legal practitioner stated.
Dorothy Appiah, as a results of the gunshot, developed a neurological problem leaving her partially paralyzed. However, barely after a week after GHOne News broadcasted Dorothy's ordeal, a physiotherapist, Eunice Ohene Darko has offered free sessions to ease her neurological challenges.
Ten-year-old Dorothy Appiah was shot in the head just 10 meters away from her school gate, the Humble Way Mission School at Sowutuom in Accra.
Dorothy was caught up in a shootout between the Police and armed robbers while leaving the school premises for home at around 3:30pm on June 7, 2016.
Miraculously, she survived after she was initially rushed to the Mary Lucy Hospital near Ofankor Barrier and subsequently transferred to the 37 Military Hospital where a bullet lodged in her head was removed.
Nearly six months after the incident, her parents say all efforts to get the Police to cater for the amount expended on her have yielded no results.
Her father, Edward Asare tells GHOne News that after issuing a payment of only GH¢600 to cover initial treatment, the Ghana Police Service has shirked the responsibility leaving the family with huge medical bills to cover.

Instagram is an amazing community. Here at Printrbook we've met so many talented photographers by connecting with them through Instagram. But of course, you've got to start connecting with people to get the best out of it.
If you're just starting out, here are a few tips to help you connect with the community and grow your followers.
As the old saying goes 'consistency is key', especially when it comes to creating your Instagram content. If your account is purely for you to store your personal memories, then posting a picture of your pampered pooch moments after sharing your latest culinary creation (captioned #foodporn of course) is fine. However, if you're looking to gain new followers then carefully curating what you post around a consistent theme makes for a well-balanced grid when potential followers visit your account.
Whether you like fashion photography or capturing nature is your specialty, chose a theme in order to make your account more compelling. Uniformity can not only be made by refining what you post but also by editing all of your photographs with the same filter or picking a colour that runs through your entire page.
Check out @m_awwad, @rustyfd912 and @laliou for a few examples of our favourites.
Let's be honest, there's nothing worse than an account filled grainy, dark and out of focus photographs. Not only is it just not very aesthetically pleasing, it simply depicts a lack of care (not what you want to portray if you're looking for followers).
Make sure you take the photograph in bright, (natural if possible) light to avoid an abundance of pixels becoming the main focus. Obviously this is not always possible, in which case take time to play with the brightness, contrast and sharpness during the editing process (VSCOCAM is a personal favourite).
This is one of the most important things to focus on if you're looking to create a following.
A key way to get your name out there is to take advantage of Instagram's 'explore' section. Finding other accounts to follow that inspire you or post similar content is crucial to getting your account known. When you find them, simply follow them and start engaging with them – like and comment (with genuine, considered comments!) on their photos. By doing this, you are able to create connections and ultimately gain interest.
Moreover, don't neglect your followers. Asking questions in your captions is one of the easiest ways to engage your audience while giving you the opportunity to get to know the community on a more personal level.
Hashtags are a simple and fast way of getting your account out there that requires very minimal effort. But be careful!
#We #All #Know #Someone #Who #Posts #Like #This
Don't be that person.
Relevance is key. If you're posting a snapshot of what you wore to your friend's birthday bash the night before then #foodporn probably isn't the best option. Another way to make it look slightly less like you're begging for likes, is to put the hashtags in the comment section of your post rather than the caption.
There are lots of ways to find popular hashtags – we'll cover those in another post.
So, keep things short and sweet and hashtags will become your new best friend.
While it's all very well capturing a high quality, perfectly edited masterpiece, if you aren't enjoying yourself in the process then there really is very little point. At the end, if you feel passionate about a photograph, post it. After all, it's your own social platform, and people are following you because they like your style. Your passion will shine through in your feed, so go for it!
When you've got your feed looking tip-top, why not print the best photos in an Instagram photo book?

IGN can confirm a Jumanji sequel is in the works at Sony Pictures.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle writers Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner are currently in negotiations to pen the script for the sequel. Director Jake Kasdan is also expected to return as he works with Pinker and Rosenberg on the sequel. The film doesn't have a title, a start date for production, nor a release date yet.
As earlier reports suggested, the sequel is also expected bring back the core ensemble cast of Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan. Matt Tolmach will produce once again along with Seven Bucks Production's Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Johnson.
Welcome to the Jungle has been a huge commercial hit for Sony, with the film making over $850 million at the worldwide box office and quickly becoming one of 2017's top-grossing movies, including surpassing Justice League and Despicable Me 3. Jumanji author Chris Van Allsburg has also landed a movie deal with 20th Century Fox following the film's success to produce more movies based on his works.
For IGN's thoughts on Welcome to the Jungle, read our review to find out why we think it is "an enjoyably comedic trip back to the world of Jumanji."
News of the sequel negotiations were first reported by Deadline.

The Year of the Absurd will make you live longer!

Pssst...the Year of the Absurd is Coming
....keep looking down
Laughter is a collapse of control in response to something which can't be fitted in the file cabinet of the mind. It is a form of ecstasy, a collapse of reason into basic clarity.

TEATR ZAR Workshops
In partnership with the Grotowski Institute, Arden 2 and UCLA Live!,
Teatr Zar
return to Los Angeles with the premiere of Triptych, the first part of which was shown at UCLA 2 years ago (Gospels of Childhood). viaCorpora is honored to be organizing 4 days of workshops with this special ensemble of unique performers.While Teatr Zar's work incorporates a coordinated physical and polyphonic vocal and rhythmic approach to performer training, the workshops will be separated in order to allow more concentrated time on one particular path. While we encourage participants to experience both workshops, we believe this separation will allow those participants who only wish to challenge their comfort in their "specialized" medium sufficient access.
Wakening the Liste
ning Body
practical meeting led by Matej Matejka
The meetings aim to explore a specific line of personal and individual expression of the performer. It addresses practical questions present in our work in theatre, a search for the process of the performer that retains the essential expression and avoids unnecessary aesthetics.
The work evolves from the centralizing of energy in the body, awakening the
of the body and grounding the energy of the performer. Special attention is place on isolation techniques as well as improving subtle expression, or inner-articulations, of the body.
During the work we address the following aspects:
*Sensitivity in the work with the partner. Exploring different qualities of physical contact. Induction between partners.
*Using stimulus - needs, inner impulses or reflections from everyday like - as a source for improvisation and the creation of physical scores. awakening an
Intuitive body
*Searching for forms of expression through the nature of one's own personality.
The session is targeted towards practitioners with an interest and experience in dance or theatre.
This challenge requires serious focus and precision from all engaged in the work.
It is open to those who are willing to search in less common fields of physical and vocal expression.
Workshop 2
Into The Sound
Led by Jaroslaw Fret and Teatr Zar
The work session will be focused on the natural harmonics of the voice expressed through rhythmical breathing patterns and connected to actions based on physical contact between the singers. Participants of the session will be introduced to the following elements: Svanetian harmonies (from the high Caucasus); Georgian Liturgical songs (Gelati tradition); cries/calls. The work will explore rhythm / breath-rhythm (based on Balkan rhythmical patterns), co-ordination and exploration of natural rhythmical tendencies through improvisation, exploring the breath through physical impulses and acrobatic elements. A separate part of the work session will be a practical reconnaissance into the forms of Kyrie Eleison, as complex scores of breath, belonging to different traditions.

Jaroslaw Fret:
Director of the Grotowski Institute, and a founder and leader of Teatr ZAR. Beginning in 1999, together with Kamila Klamut, he organised several expeditions to Georgia, Armenia, Greece and Iran, conducting research into the oldest forms of religious music of Eastern Christianity. This research became the point of departure for the performance
Gospels of Childhood
, which has since been presented in Poland, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, the United Kingdom and the United States. He has conducted work sessions in various countries including Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and Brazil. He produced the world's first documentary film devoted to the Mandeans – the only ancient Gnostic group remaining in the south of Iran. He graduated in Polish philology from the University of Wroclaw in 1994. In 1994–1995 he collaborated with the Centre for Theatre Practices 'Gardzienice'. Fret was co-editor of a special annual bound volume of
Pamietnik Teatralny
, dedicated to Jerzy Grotowski (Warsaw, 2000-2001). He worked in the Centre for the Study of Jerzy Grotowski's Work and for Cultural and Theatrical Research from 1995, assuming the director's function in February 2004. He has been director of the Grotowski Institute since 29th December 2006.
Teatr Zar:
The ensemble of the Teatr ZAR was initially formed through almost three years of expeditions and rehearsals concerning the project
Gospels of Childhood
. Members were gathered for the project from training sessions at the Grotowski Centre and their work was directed towards the long-term development of actors' skills, as well as towards discovering new forms of expression, based mainly on acting through song. Therefore, the character of the project proved to be musicological, but was not so much dedicated to conventional ethno-musicological research as to an attempt to recompose and reshape the musical material acquired during the expeditions.
Matej Matejka:
Matej is originally from Slovakia. He has been a collaborator of The Grotowski Institute since 2005 where he is engaged in research of physical expression in the theatre. He is an actor with Teatr ZAR and one of the leaders of physical training for the company. He performs in Gospels of Childhood, Cesarean Section and is currently working on Anhelli, Calling. He has performed with the Theatre Studio Prague, and Farm in the Cave on Dark Love Sonnets, Journey to the Station and SCLAVI / The Song of an Emigrant. He is has also recently been collaborating with choreographer and dancer Jaro Vinarsky.

Teatr Zar Workshops in November
In collaboration with The Grotowksi Institute and Arden 2, [via]Corpora is proud to announce that it will be hosting workshops with
Teatr Zar
when they return to Los Angeles for the presentation of their Triptych at UCLA Live! presented in association with Arden 2.
Members of Teatr Zar will be leading different workshops while they are in LA in mid-November.
One will focus on their polyphonic singing technique utilizing songs primarily from Georgia and Corsica. This workshop is open to anyone interested in work with songs. We hope to see many of our friends that participated in the Karagod workshops last year!
The other workshop will be an extended session of song and physical work. These workshops will aim at discovering the creative possibilities when polyphonic song is used for ensemble building and theatrical action. The physical work will be solo and partner investigations utilizing rhythm, isolations, contact, and actor-acrobatics to discover the links between image and action.
We hope to gather a group of dedicated artists that want to experience the ensemble rigor that distinguishes Polish theatre.
The workshops are planned for Mid-November (dates and times to be announced in early Autumn). We will be posting an application for the workshops soon; however, if you are interested please contact Bryan Brown at bryan[at]viacorpora.com

Thank you ACTION! Theater for creating in our home!
directed by Tiger Reel
April 18, 2009 8:00 PM
Through May 16, 2009 8:00 PM
We are delighted to be supporting the third production of Action! Theater in our space! Action! Theaer and director Tiger Reel continue to challenge the accepted and expected and we are sure that R.U.R will not disappoint.
R.U.R. stands for Rossum's Universal Robots. Written in 1920 - R.U.R. garnered worldwide acclaim for its author and introduced the word "Robot" to the English language. Mass-produced, efficient and servile labor, Capek's robots remember everything, but lack creative thought, and the Utopian life they provide ultimately lacks meaning. When the robots revolt, killing all but one of their masters, they must attempt to learn the secret of procreation.
Working from a new adaptation by Action! Theatre Company Artistic Director, Tiger Reel, this production will highlight Capek's themes of technology's effect on society, gender and class roles and will wrestle with the question: "Are we as a race worth saving?"
As the genesis of the "Robot Revolution" scenario, R.U.R. prefigures such greats of the genre like "The Terminator", "Blade Runner", "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the re-imagined "Battlestar Galactica."

After years of investigating and ruminating on the concept of Home, we recently came across an unsent letter from Sulerzhitsky to Stanislavski of December 1915 in which he reflects on their efforts with the First Studio :
"I particularly liked the nature of the land you bought at Eupatoria for the Studio, desert-like and arid, where we would have had to work hard to construct a
This link back to the tradition of Russian acting practice supports and inspires our recent decision to change a portion of our name and rewrite our mission statement. We have never felt completely comfortable with the association attached to being a Center, but we are more than a School and not at all an Institution.
We aim in fact to be a home.
And so we are pleased to announce our decision to rename ourselves

Unleashing Creativity
Pathways to engaging performance
Saturday, April 4th, 11 - 2pm, $30

Reservations email... firstname.lastname@example.com
There are as many ways to performance and performer training as there are performers. What is essential is the Perspective of Joy and Ease with which a performer approaches each moment of work. Through full-bodied play we will discover the pathways to engaged and engaging performance.
After three months of teaching and researching in Leeds, England, Bryan Brown returns to [via]Corpora with his particular physical approach to actor training and performance development. This new workshop will investigate both areas by focusing 1/3 of the day on the physical, vocal and rhythmic training that allows for the offering of self in spontaneous and imaginative moments and 2/3 of the day applying the experiences of the training to the development of individual Propositions.
A Proposition is an active sketch, a short structured sequence of movements and sound.
Participants should come with a proposition.
If you do not have a proposition, we can still work as long as you are willing to improvise and work towards one in front of the group.
(Propositions can consist of text, song, object(s), costume. Keep it simple. The details and subtlety are what we will be focusing on.)
BRYAN BROWN has taught and studied extensively in New York City, Europe, and Los Angeles. He is co-creator of Artel and [via]Corpora, Performance Research and Development House. Deeply influenced by American Experimental theater and dance practitioners, Bryan has spent the last two years investigating the contemporary theater practices of Eastern European and Russian ensembles primarily through his relations with the Grotowski Institute and the Song of the Goat Theatre. Recently he was Artist-in-Residence at Hooyang Performing Arts Centre, South Korea. Besides consistent teaching in Los Angeles at [via]Corpora, Bryan has led workshops in Poland, New Orleans and NY. Currently, he teaches Performance Technique at the University of Leeds where he is a Postgraduate Research student.

My hubby and I have celebrated 22 years
of being married!!
We went to Mohican State Park to celebrate.
This is the sunset on our evening there.
In the morning, after breakfast, we made a
couple of cards. My husband made one
to give his parents to thank them for the
anniversary dinner they paid for.
Isn't it cute? It's from a kit that includes
everything you could possibly need.
He was amazed that he could do it and that it was easy!
Here's the card I made - I left it with our tip for the housekeeping staff.
We went hiking to Big Lyon Falls - it was really flowing!
Our hiking path was just beautiful.
So refreshing to be outdoors on a great day.
I found some Trillium - Ohio's State Flower.
We went to Malabar Farm where the first thing
we saw was this Produce Stand with a
fountain fed by a natural Spring.
You can see the Spring House up on the hill
behind the Product Stand. The Spring is what
they used to keep the produce cool in the summer.
We enjoyed a sumptious meal at the Malabar Inn Restaurant.
And then we took a tour of the grounds of Malabar Farm.
Some of the scenes to the Shawshank Redemption were filmed in this area. This is the tree used in the scene
where there's a stone "fence" and the character who
finally makes it out of jail goes to find the box that has
been left for him here. The owner of the tree has a
camera focused on it due to it being the 20th anniversary
of the movie's filming and possible vandalism issues.
Then we took a tour of the "Big House" where Louis Bromfield, famous author lived. Malabar Farm was his.
This is the view from the front door of the house.
Mt. Jeez is the big hill there. It was a favorite
spot of Louis Bromfield. We've gone all the way
up to see fall colors before. It's a great location for
fall foliage viewing.
His wife's headboard was specially made,
inscribed with Louis Bromfield's best sellers all around it.
I have a collection of typewriters, so I had to get a
shot of his in his "office".
I love the colors throughout the house. So soothing and invigorating at the same time.
This is one BIG desk. Built-in bookcases all around.
I could get lots of cards made here!!
This was Louis Bromfield's manager's office area,
and when the manager died, Louis Bromfield took
over the space. It houses another great typewriter.
Apparently, Bromfield died so unexpectedly,
all his clothes, the dishes, all the small things
that so often are removed, are still at the residence.
He had a collection of blue suits, and only blue suits.
Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart were married at Malabar Farm and even honeymooned there.
There were french doors in every corner of this
living room. The living room was a replica of the
Bromfield home in France.
And then outside the kitchen/garage area was a Smokehouse that Bromfield built from bricks taken from a former Vice President of the United States' home.
When I turned around from the smokehouse, I thought
the little cupola with the weathervane was striking
against the graying skies. The wind was really beginning
to pick up and looked as if a storm was coming.
Happy Anniversary to us!!
Thanks for stopping by ~~ Happy Stampin' and Scrappin'!

Samsung hints at multi-standard wireless charging in Galaxy S6

The industry leader in emerging technology research Subscribe
Samsung has supported wireless charging in several of its handsets over the past few years, so it wouldn't surprise me if the function…
The more gadgets I collect, the more I long for freedom from the power cord. Charging the internet of things is a pain point that I hope wireless power can solve.
Built from ceramic and American Walnut hardwood, Swich is a good looking wireless phone charger. Be prepared to pay for such beauty though as the charger and stand will set you back $170.
Customers in two trial areas must have drank up enough wireless charging juice to satisfy Starbucks: The coffee house will include recharging mats in all of its U.S. stores in a continued partnership with Powermat.
QiPack's wireless charging power pack hopes to stand out from the crowded battery field with a iPhone-aping design and a slick aluminium case.
A team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has already used the system to power equipment at a nuclear power plant.
When your watch, your phone, your jewelry and your socks are all going to need charging, how on earth will we have enough plugs? We discuss SXSW and wireless power in this week's podcast.
Two major wireless charging groups, the Alliance for Wireless Power and the Power Matters Alliance, are banding together with their standards, which will make life easier for consumers who want to charge a tablet or smartphone without wires.
A new resonance extension to the Qi wireless standard lets your devices be even farther from a charging pad. That makes it easier for furniture and other objects to recharge your phone or tablet.
The Qualcomm Toq has the right pieces of a potential successful smartwatch: A color display, wireless charging and one week runtime, even with the display always on. But make no mistake, this is still a concept — a good one — more than a product.
Can a new logo and catchy name add some juice to a wireless charging group? That's the hope of Rezence, the new brand of the A4WP, or Alliance for Wireless Power.
There's currently a trio of main wireless charging groups, each with its own standardized solution, and now Qualcomm is a member of all three. Here's why this gives hope for a single standard.
Are we finally inching closer to a wireless charging standard? Perhaps, now that Samsung has invested in PowerbyProxi. The company is working on support for spatial freedom and multiple device support in the Qi standard, something already offered by the A4WP group.
Wireless device charging doesn't necessarily mean a charging pad on your desk or nightstand. Mugen's new N11 battery pack is portable and can wirelessly charge a phone or tablet anywhere thanks to the included Qi support.
NFC isn't just for digital wallets and device pairing: The wireless tech can also provide a small bit of power to E Ink displays, making it a good option for getting data on a small second screen.
Verizon's sign-up page for the LG G2 claims the phone will feature exclusive wireless charging capabilities and shows a slightly different design on the back of the phone.
Why add wireless charging to a single phone when you can add it to bag that charges multiple devices? That's the concept behind Hustle, a Qi-compatible bag with large integrated battery and USB port to charge your phone or tablet.
By the wireless power invested in me, I now pronounce you a couple. Two wireless charging companies combine and agree on a single power standard. That's great but there's still much work to be done in this industry.
Months after the Nexus 4 arrived on sale, the promise of charging the device without connecting a wire is here. For $59, Google is now selling the Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Orb.
Wireless charging of phones and tablets is up in a big way: The number of devices supporting this feature has doubled in the last 7 months alone, according to the Wireless Power Consortium. Helping is the Qi standard, but I have another idea to advance growth.
Pike Research, in a new report, forecasts the wireless market to triple in size from $4.9 billion in 2012 to $15.1 billion in 2020. And that's not considering the impact of Apple, which just received a patent for an inductive charging dock late last month.
Wireless charging sounds great: Drop your gadget on a little mat, which itself is plugged into an outlet, and your phone or MP3 player sits there and charges away. But the industry can't agree on standards, and on Monday a new wireless charging group was formed.
The 30-pin dock connector featured on every iPhone and iPad ever sold by Apple, as well as a huge number of iPods, may be headed for history's dustbin. Apple is reportedly considering a move to a smaller connector on the next iPhone.
Thanks to the new Qi standard from the Wireless Power Consortium, it's easier to charge mobile devices simply by laying them on a pad. But who wants a wireless charging case for each different device? Energizer's new universal adapter should solve that problem.
Wireless charging — the ability to toss your cell phone on your table and have it charge without a plug — has for years failed to reach its disruptive potential. But consumers are willing to pay a high price, around $50, for the perk, according to a new report.
MIT spinout WiTricity wants to make charging electric vehicles plug-free, by simply parking them on top of wireless charging systems set into garages or parking spots — and it has landed auto parts giant Delphi as a partner.
Global shipments of devices capable of wireless charging will jump nearly 70 times by 2014 from the 3.5 million units expected to sell this year, according to the latest forecast from iSuppli. What will drive this change?
After years of hope (and no little amount of hype), wireless power is finally getting into consumer hands. However, the technology that is showing up on trade show floors and store shelves is a far cry from the truly disruptive promise of wireless power.
As we cram more computing power into our mobile phones and use them to deliver the web, take photos and shoot video (as well as talk), a key limitation has become the battery. Anyone who has experienced a three-hour battery life after surfing on a Wi-Fi network knows first-hand that battery life can impede the enjoyment of a full-featured mobile device.
And that problem is the one that wireless power will one day solve.
The hype cycle around wireless power has been gathering a charge ever since Intel (s intc) wowed folks at its IDF conference…

A Richmond school administrator hopes to reach new heights this summer in support of BC Children's Hospital.
Sarah Garr, vice-principal at AR MacNeill secondary, will be making her first climb this summer in Peru with Summits of Hope, a local not-for-profit association.
She heard about the opportunity through a fellow administrator and friend in West Vancouver, who has previously climbed with the group.
"Ultimately it's a way to combine two of my passions: hiking and supporting kids," she says.
While Garr has personally been raising funds for several months to cover expenses (all climbers pay their own airfare and accommodations), MacNeill students began supporting her cause through school-based fundraising efforts this month.
With climbers paying their own way, 100 per cent of all donations go directly to BC Children's Hospital.
"I have committed to raising $5,000," says Garr, whose efforts so far have been mostly through word of mouth and social media. She is also planning a pub night at the Landing in Ladner on June 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. Individuals can purchase a burger and drink for $15, with $10 of that going to BC Children's Hospital.
At MacNeill, student council is still planning additional fundraisers, considering such activities as raffling gift cards and selling donuts and bubble tea.
None of the students will accompany Garr on the trek (all of the climbers are adults), but will, along with patients at BC Children's Hospital, be able to track her progress via live updates on the Summits of Hope website tinyurl.com/summits2018. She said the climbers will also have a satellite phone with them and take turns calling in updates.
In her third year in the Richmond School District, after working in Surrey for 17 years, Garr says she is always trying to expand students' perspectives beyond the school community "to the larger local and global community."
"In addition to raising money for BC Children's Hospital, the Summits of Hope team will be bringing school supplies, clothing and other items to a village in Peru. This way we are able to support children both locally and globally," she says.
Garr begins her actual journey to Peru Aug. 12, with the trek to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail taking place over four days from Aug. 16 to 19.
Garr is blogging about the project at tinyurl.com/summitsblog
She has also set up a donation page at tinyurl.com/summitssarah

8 habits that will help you to be rich with a small salary
Some of the tips are to live as rich "anonymous," get rid of debts and increase profits.
The difference between life under financial stress and one of prosperity is in the small habits we have about money. Business Insider consulted with specialists Nancy Butler and David Blaylock, who work in the area of financial planning and structured an eight-step plan that will help you to economise and use money wisely.
Know what small changes will direct a prosperous future.
Reverse your thinking
If after paying the bills your net remuneration seems anemic, you need to learn to allocate a portion of that money for your financial objective, which does not happen overnight. That is why it is necessary to adapt the mind gradually. "Many people spend money, pay bills and keep what is left over, and it is quite the opposite: one must first save for financial goals, pay bills and then consider spending the remaining money, "Says Butler to the Business Insider.
One trap that many people fall into is to wait for their finances to be looser to save. The mistake is that the more you earn, the more you spend. Blaylock warns that it is not necessary to save too much, the important thing is to economize. "I'm not asking you to save too much, but maybe a small portion of salary. We can not underestimate the power to start small. "
Look where you want to go
Financial specialists always suggest to those who are saving for the future, start with a five-year plan with concrete goals. It consists of knowing what you need to achieve your goal within a particular time, which need not necessarily be five years. "Having a goal in mind helps us," says Blaylock. "If that goal is to save for an emergency fund, for a trip or for education, it does not matter," he says.
Create your own mental tricks
Like the first item, we should start little by little. Stopping eating frequently in restaurants or limiting monthly spending on unnecessary items may be one of the new rules. Also known as "heuristics," which is a way to solve a problem, which in this case is the habit of saving money, is an optimal method to develop healthy habits concerning our life. Many decisions we make in a day can help us not to spend money on unnecessary things.
Live as rich "anonymous"
Not all millionaires live in a mansion or drive a Ferrari. By the way, most of them lead a life below the model. According to Thomas J. Stanley, co-author of The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy, millionaires do not waste money, they save more than they spend.
The book shows that most of the wealth of the United States comes from hard work and savings. David Sapper and his wife, for example, bill more than $ 500,000 a year with a used-car business. However, they do not afford to spend more than $ 2,500 per month. By allocating 90% of investment income, Sapper says he can retire early. "Find the point where you have what you need, you are happy and comfortable, and stay there," advises the businessman.
Worry about your retirement now
For people between the ages of 20 and 30, retirement may seem far away so it may not be a priority. Among accounts payable, overheads, savings to finance a rental house, is it still possible to set aside retirement money? The later you stop saving money, the more you will have to meet.
Know when you are entering and leaving
If you are not sure how much you have deposited monthly in your bank account, you will not know how much money you can spend to meet your financial goal. It is necessary to know their expenses to be able to control them, because "knowledge is the first step to lasting change." If you have trouble giving your paycheck and organizing your economy, there are applications like LearnVest that can help you for free.
Get rid of debts
Certainly, at some point in our life, we have had to deal with debts such as student loans or real estate financing. These are understandable and often necessary. Credit cards, on the other hand, with which high monthly fees are paid, can be avoided.
Paying off debts should be the number one priority. Despite this, for Blaylock, it is worth saving some of the money reserved for debts. Even delaying more to pay the credit card, for example, is proven to guarantee money for the emergency fund. In the event of an unforeseen event, such as a car accident, you will not need to borrow again to repair it.
Increase your earnings
To increase your net worth, you should spend less and put more together. The question is not to have a higher salary, but to know how to invest the money. "Most of the time, earning more does not lead to higher net worth, because lifestyle and expenses increase along with this," says financial planning consultant Natalie Taylor, Blaylock's partner.
But for those who do not manage to minimize enough expenses to raise money, there are some ways to increase monthly income without a raise in salary or without winning the lottery. One suggestion is to look for another job, which is preferably related to your personality.
"I have a great friend who is a lawyer and enjoys traveling. However, she is not willing to leave this habit aside, so she works at a flower shop on Saturdays during the wedding season. It is a win-win for everyone, because the flower shop has a trusted employee and, as my friend loves flowers, she does not think of it as work, "says Blaylock.

I bought notecards, so I don't really have a photo to upload, but thank you for having this particular image available! I have been looking for it for a number of years. The artist lost two sons in World War I. He also painted the murals in the Chapel of the Dead in the Jesuit parish in Paris where his sons are memorialized the same year he painted this image, which he later gave to a family member who was ordained as a priest. This was Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's favorite image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus . . . he gave a card of this image to a friend during World War II, and he had it on his desk when he died in New York City in 1955. If you have any knowledge of where the original painting is, I would love to know! I hope to go to France someday and would love to see the original painting.
A full moon night scene in a fictional Joshua Tree setting.
Born in Los Angeles in 1955, Jagger spent much of his time in the Palm Springs area where his father was employed by Frank Sinatra. The Southern California outdoor life-style and the glamour of the entertainment world helped shape the artist's perspective. He managed to combine his dual goals of living close to the land and entertaining people in his ideal career as an artist. Jaggers paintings are a blend of fact and fantasy. He begins with what he knows best - the California Desert - and transforms that raw material into novel images that amaze and delight. His meticulous technique details every rock and pebble, cactus thorn and palm frond, giving it an intense presence. This hyper-realism makes the images seem uncanny, too...

Ok, this is too interesting to pass up. Check out this link.
The artist at this particular site is now beginning to take orders for "steamkpunk laptops". The technical specs look pretty impressive and current, and the lid customization options look like a lot of fun (functioning clockwork gears, maps, etc.).
On a side note, I've also been looking into making some attempts at writing some short fiction that would incorporate steampunk technology. I'm not sure what direction that will take. Lots to research!

The MATCH International Women's Fund - Most Innovative Woman of the Year
Company: The MATCH International Women's Fund, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Company Description: The MATCH Fund is an international women's fund (the only one in Canada) working at the intersection of women's rights and innovation. We fund grassroots women's rights organizations that are Holding Ground and Breaking Ground for women's rights. And we're committed to sharing their stories as they dismantle barriers, challenge perceptions, and find solutions to the world's biggest problems.
Nomination Category: Individual Awards Categories
Nomination Sub Category: Most Innovative Woman of the Year - Government or Non-Profit
Nomination Title: Jess Tomlin, President and CEO
Describe for the judges the activities and accomplishments of the nominated woman since the beginning of July last year (up to 525 words):
Jess Tomlin never sits still--not during meetings and not when it comes to raising more money for women and girls. Unleashing millions of dollars this year alone, Jess' energy and unique perspective on women's rights work has changed the face of storytelling, fundraising, and Canadian philanthropy.
Before she was hired as the CEO of The MATCH Fund, the organization narrowly escaped closing its doors for good. A visionary, Jess saw Canada's need for a dedicated fund for marginalized women outside of Canada's borders. From her experience in Zambia, Jordan, and Syria, Jess knew that these women, though they often receive the least amount of support, are poised to make the greatest change in their communities. While many Canadian non-profits support women, not a single other organization puts women's ideas and innovations at the very centre of the work.
Taking cues from the tech sector, Jess is an early adopter, redefining innovation to include day-to-day hacks for social good and providing seed funding for women who are innovating within the most restrictive contexts. With Jess at the helm, The MATCH Fund supports a variety of projects, including women boxing in the slums of Nairobi and apps mapping street harassment in the Middle East. Her laser focus on "hacking innovation" has garnered the interest of Canadian tech mavens and entrepreneurs. As a result, Canadians are more engaged than ever in the grittiness of human rights work. To appeal to these wider audiences, Jess has led The Fund to create playful digital campaigns in the form of online quizzes that expose sharp contrasts and have received international attention, reaching over 50 million impressions this year.
For the first four years of The Fund's existence, Jess doubled revenue year-on-year. Due to her leadership, The Fund just concluded its first 3-year grant cycle that put $1 million into the hands of women in 25 countries. In 2017, she championed The Fund's move to a new philanthropy space in Ottawa, connecting entrepreneurs, Indigenous philanthropists, and local & international funders to energize and ignite movements. Jess, a distance runner, often says that "movement building is a marathon, not a sprint." And she doesn't just walk the talk. She runs it.
Jess knows that only accepting funding from existing sources means that the total amount of funding for women does not grow. Because of this, Jess looks for fresh ways to "grow the pie." It's not easy. Canadians give only 8% of their philanthropic dollars to international causes. On a governmental level, only 0.03% of Canada's international aid actually makes it into the hands of women at the grassroots.
In 2016-2017, thanks to Jess' vision, The Fund launched an ongoing strategy to influence the Canadian government to unleash millions of new dollars for women and girls around the world. As a result of this strategy, in June 2017, Canada announced $150 million for women at the grassroots. Part of Canada's new feminist international assistance policy, this funding represents a shift in the way that Canada conceives of international aid. In short, Jess Tomlin led The MATCH Fund from outlier to multiplier, demonstrating what focusing on local, women-led innovation can achieve.
Provide a brief biography of the nominated woman (up to 125 words):
Jess Tomlin began her career working with female victims of violence in rural Ontario, Canada. Turning her focus internationally, Jess has worked in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Asia for a range of actors including the Canadian International Development Agency, the World Bank, the UN, and USAID.
Jess was the Director of CARE Canada's 'I am powerful' campaign. She also worked with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) managing large-scale reform for the Agency that supports Palestinian Refugees in Jordan, the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

Abstract :
Glycerin, known as glycerol or glycerine, is the principal co-product of biodiesel production, produced through a NaOH- or KOH-catalyzed transesterification of the triacylglycerols in oils or fats with an alcohol. Glycerin is known to be a valuable ingredient for producing food, soaps, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Currently, with plenty of glycerin available to the world market, more uses are expected to develop, especially as a potential energy source for poultry diets, with approximately 4,100 kcal/kg of gross energy. Moreover, glycerin also plays a critical role in body cellular metabolism. Results from different laboratories on the use of glycerin as feed energy source for poultry are discussed in this article. Positive responses are obtained with glycerol content up to 10% in poultry diets. The AMEn also has been measured in several experiments. However, more indices such as carcass performance and blood parameters need to be determined in further studies.
Keywords :
Glycerin, metabolism, nutrient value, poultry

When we go to one of our favorite restaurants, Zarzo in Eindhoven, we always get some fudge with the coffee, so I thought I would try my hand at making it. Turns out, it is quite easy.
Easy, but potentially dangerous. I feel the need to say it here, as I have all sorts of crazy friends: you are working with sugar at high temperatures here, and you must always be vigilant. No children, pets, or distractions of any kind are allowed. Read the recipe, visualize the steps, and proceed with caution.

Your Comments Are Important To Us

One Year Bible Reading Guide:
2 Chronicles 1:1-3:17
Romans 6:1-23
Psalm 16:1-11
Proverbs 19:20-21
Verse of the Day:
"Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise." (Proverbs 19:20 NIV)
It happens almost every time I pick up fast food or a coffee from a drive-through.
The employee gives me a receipt and tells me that I will be rewarded if I participate in a survey about my experience. The reward may be a free sandwich, donut or beverage for taking a few minutes to evaluate the friendliness of the employees, quality of the food and value.
Feedback is precious for businesses big and small. While your single survey is unlikely to change the way an international corporation does business, executives are looking for trends. If a high percentage of customers say the fries are too salty, the recipe will almost certainly be evaluated.
Proverbs tells us that we should value feedback in our personal lives.
"Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise." (Proverbs 19:20 NIV)
Is there a trend in the feedback others are giving you about your attitude, work ethic, priorities or personal hygiene? Have you been disciplined for the same sort of behavior on several occasions?
Our natural tendency is often to reject advice and discipline.
I want to get better in my areas of responsibility. I want to be a better husband, father and son. I pray that the people who matter most know that their advice is cherished, whether it is positive or negative.
