AUSTIN, Texas For centuries, the fate of the original Otom inhabitants of Xaltocan, the capital of a pre-Aztec Mexican city-state, has remained unknown. Researchers have long wondered whether they assimilated with the Aztecs or abandoned the town altogether.
According to new anthropological research from The University of Texas at Austin, Wichita State University and Washington State University, the answers may lie in DNA. Following this line of evidence, the researchers theorize that some original Otomies, possibly elite rulers, may have fled the town. Their exodus may have led to the reorganization of the original residents within Xaltocan, or to the influx of new residents, who may have intermarried with the Otom population.
Using ancient DNA (aDNA) sampling, Jaime Mata-Mguez, an anthropology graduate student and lead author of the study, tracked the biological comings and goings of the Otom people following the incorporation of Xaltocan into the Aztec empire. The study, published in American Journal of Physical Anthropology, is the first to provide genetic evidence for the anthropological cold case.
Learning more about changes in the size, composition, and structure of past populations helps anthropologists understand the impact of historical events, including imperial conquest, colonization, and migration, Mata-Mguez says. The case of Xaltocan is extremely valuable because it provides insight into the effects of Aztec imperialism on Mesoamerican populations.
Historical documents suggest that residents fled Xaltocan in 1395 AD, and that the Aztec ruler sent taxpayers to resettle the site in 1435 AD. Yet archaeological evidence indicates some degree of population stability across the imperial transition, deepening the mystery. Recently unearthed human remains from before and after the Aztec conquest at Xaltocan provide the rare opportunity to examine this genetic transition.
As part of the study, Mata-M

mademan added a topic in Wanted!Aston Martin DB4 body needed.does anyone happen to have an Aurora/Monogram/Revell Aston Martin DB4 body laying in their stash?

I returned one to the seller, and kept one that wasn't "as bad" , but I would still like to start with a nice body. I have plenty of kits to trade, parts, aftermarket etc.

Excellent points people!
It makes MUCH more sense to have Williams in the slot. The depth chart right now means nothing and is usually based on nothing more than seniority. If that was the case, then VD would be ahead of some of these guys at WR given he's been practicing there as well. This is how is should shape up.
X = A.J. Jenkins/Ricardo Lockette
Y (slot) = Quinton Patton/Kyle Williams
Z = Anquan Boldin
PUP = Mario Manningham & Michael Crabtree
It's an excellent point about AJ once the pads go on. Can he out-muscle a Dick Sherman at the LOS? Most likely, he won't be able to but he can mimick Manningham's game and create excellent separation by quickness and explosion off the LOS...it's all technique and hand-fighting, cutting, diguising your routes, studying the CB's you'll be facing, knowig our game plan, when you will be featured/called on, etc.

Re: How to uninstall Canon printer driver? in response to Stephy ChuaJust run the other installer.
PAHU Aug 13, 2010 1:03 AM
Re: How to uninstall Canon printer driver? in response to Stephy ChuaThe older driver uses similar files to the v10.xx "CUPS' driver but there are also some differences. For example the print option plugins (PDEs) are different between the two versions. Using the older version on 10.6 will cause errors but having it installed on the Mac but not used should not create too many problems with the latest driver.
If you do notice any problems then you can delete the printer queue and then trash the contents of the BJPrinters folder, located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon. With these files removed and the trash emptied you can then install the v10 driver only and add your printer queue again.

Something we've got wrong about this establishment? Something more you think we should know about it? Please email us

Traded as Axe from 1808 to 1821.
Having studied licensing records from 1874 through to 1967 and found no sign of it, we conclude this pub must have closed before 1874.

text: Don't try to use a child theme with this one--their CSS/HTML is terribly written. It has way too many IDs, the CSS specificity is over-specific making any kind of inheritance based on their styling frustrating, and the grid system they use for responsive design is strage and hard to work with. If you want to use this theme out of the box with little to no changes, I'm sure its great, but avoid it as a parent theme that you're basing your child theme off of.

so this girl was going to show me a picture of something that I actaully can't even remember now.. um... oh yea of her working at this restaurant (alot like hooters but more raunchy - and yet somehow more classy? ) anyway - she was going to show me a picture when a nude picture of her popped up.... Show More
I saw a pictures of female friend naked --
What Girls Said
My boobs are freakin awesome. Only 2 guys have ever seen them and both of them have said that they are far and away the most perfect natural DDs they've ever seen. I'm pretty proud of tatas obviously :-P
omg DD?!?! I can't even imagine what those would look like. but good for you! I imagine that would be weird showering but you have a lot to play with I guess lol I have barely even seen Cs
Pics or it didn't happen
lol yea I bet that works longrod
my body in general I think is pretty decent but I can't help but constantly compare to the best looking celebrities and p*rn stars and regardless of how much I work out or how well I eat I still feel like I lack in so many ways. it really saddens me.
ive never seen a girl with your body type naked before so it is hard for me to really picture what you would look like BUT from your pictures you look really great. perfect even. I don't know I wish I could see better but you look really good. Don't be sad..- Your BOOBS ARE UP TO YOUR NECK THOUGH! lol but I think you look good just keep healthy.
- Show Older Hide Older
im not always the best as saying what I mean but truly. I mean you are really pretty. The second you start comparing yourself to fake "ideals" you'll lose wight of what makes you who you are. :)
thank you
I don't like my boobs because they're small, but I don't want to be fake..so I deal with them. I'm a small person so I guess they're okay for my height, weight etc..but I'd want bigger. They're perky and round, but so small...lol. My ex was really into p*rn so I always felt like he was comparing me to the girls he watched daily. I'm okay with p*rn, but he'd sometimes show me when he downloaded, and go on and on about how "perfect" her body, t*ts..ass...face..etc were, and it made me super self conscious lol. Try not to compare real life to p*rn.. :/ It makes us average girls feel ugly and that's why girls complain about their bodies so often.
is it okay if I ask your dimensions? I mean 3 of the 4 girls I have seen have been b or smaller and it was PERFECT! actually ... 4 or the 4 were B or smaller (two were A.. well one even AA) and then one got on Birth Control and became a C-cup. So what do you mean by small and how small are you?
I'm 5'4 and weight 112-115 lbs, and my waist is 24 inches I think? I'm bad with measurements. I'm a 32B and I friken hate it but I have to live with it. The way my ex would look at p*rn stars and gush over them, going on and on about their perfect bodies didn't help either. Like...K thanks. Why am I here then? You have your computer and your hand. Have fun with that perfect hand...
meh most guys just care about how perky and round they are. size doesn;'t matter that much

Last week, Bravo announced that Rachel Zoe-alum Brad Goreski was getting his own show and, sure, we were excited. Now, the network is adding yet another style and, more specifically, stylist-focused show to their roster by teaming up with Annabel Tollman for a new show temporarily titled, "The Annabel Tollman Project." (Sound familiar?) And while we don't like to play favorites with our stylists, well, this show is probably going to be awesome.

An Akron postal worker found the body of a 42-year-old man Tuesday while delivering mail.
The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office has identified David W. Jones as the man whose body was discovered in a driveway in the 1300 block of Blackstone Avenue at 12:32 p.m.
An autopsy has found that the man's death was related to record-breaking frigid temperatures in the region Tuesday.
The mail carrier who found the body asked a neighbor to call police. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
There were no signs of trauma or foul play, said Gary Guenther, spokesman for the medical examiner's office. A final cause of death is pending the arrival of lab results.

Why the Fed?
|The Federal Reserve Bank plays an intricate role as the central bank for the United States by regulating financial institutions, implementing monetary policies and providing payment system services. Witnessing how all the components within the Fed function to execute these roles is exciting. Being part of such an imperative organization makes me proud to say I work at the Fed. In addition to the important responsibility the Fed has for maintaining the economy, it also sustains a great environment for the employees. It fosters a place for inclusiveness, career growth, and talent management. The Fed offers many social programs for the employees and the neighborhood. The Fed embraces ongoing change and ensures continuing professional development for its employees.
My Responsibilities
|I am responsible for managing a team that performs the daily operations of Fedwire® Funds and National Net Settlement services in the Electronic Payments Function. These services enable financial institutions to send and receive electronic funds transactions and settle daily balances. I must also ensure operational resiliency of these services by maintaining alternate production site exercises.
Challenges and Rewards of My Job
The need to stay competitive and current has facilitated the implementation of various enhancements to our services. A challenge has been to stay current with all the various initiatives and ensure my team stays informed. My job has allowed me to meet many people from other areas in the Federal Reserve System as well as our customers from financial institutions and government agencies. Having the opportunity to work at such an institution and networking with others is very rewarding.
How Is the Fed Unique?
What makes the Fed unique is their dual responsibility to the financial economy as well as their employees. The Fed encourages employees to take charge of their career by encouraging professional growth and offering talent development courses. Employees can engage in diversity resource networks that promote inclusiveness and innovation. The Fed also endorses a work-life balance so employees can dedicate their time to families as well as their careers.

The Real Story Between CREA and the Competition Bureau
Categories:Condos,Homes,Market Trends,RE/MAX,Real Estate,Vancouver
For some inexplicable reason, the Competition Bureau has been on a witch hunt against the Canadian Real Estate Association for some time now. It may be that someone thought that this highly effective and progressive industry was an easy target. Certainly with the right spin, and with the media on side, it is easy to create an unsympathetic picture based on old charicatures of REALTORS(r).
It is unfortunate that they are attacking one of the truest free market sectors in the Canadian economy. The Real Estate Industry is one of the most competitive industries in North America. Each Brokerage competes aggressively with it's rivals because remuneration is based on performance. Even within an office, the agents compete against each other for Listings and Buyers. Despite this, the Competition Bureau is smearing CREA and it's almost 100,000 members. The media has been allowed to create untrue pictures of what the issues are surrounding the Competition Bureau's concerns.
Meanwhile, the Bureau does not acknowledge the important changes that CREA has made to address those concerns. Changes that the Bureau itself had recommended.
To demonstrate what is really happening click here to read some recent correspondance between CREA and the Competition Bureau...

Unit Sales Down 13.3% in BC in February
Categories:Market Trends,RE/MAX,Real Estate,Vancouver
The Canadian Real estate Association (CREA) posted recent statistics showing the change between January and February of this year. A total of 42,799 homes were traded last month, down 1.5% from January, as a gains in Toronto were offset by a decline in units sold in Vancouver.
The Winter Olympics were cited as a possible factor in lower sales in the province last month. Unit sales were down 13.3 %. Compared to Ontario's growth of 3.3% during the same period.
Continuing low interest rates could further prompt home resales this spring ahead of new mortgage rules set to take effect in April. The introduction of the harmonized sales tax will also add to the buying mood of the consumer this spring, as buyers seek to purchase before the tax change takes effect.
The average Canadian house price in February rose by 18.2 % from last year.
Currently the most affordable Canadian city for housing is Thunder Bay, Ontario with a February average house price of $142,280, up 23.6 % from a year ago.
The most unaffordable Canadian city for housing continues to be Vancouver, BC with a February average house price of $658,984. That is also an increase in price from a year ago of 22.4%
Most experts agree that the Canadian housing market will be moving to a more balanced market in the fall, while the spring will continue to heat up to answer demand.

FINTRAC fines brokerage $27,000
The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) has assessed its first fine against a real estate brokerage. HomeLife Effect Realty in Hamilton was fined $27,000 for violating the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.
FINTRAC says the brokerage was fined for committing four violations:
- Failure of a person or entity to develop and apply written compliance policies and procedures that are kept up to date and, in the case of an entity, are approved by a senior officer;
- Failure of a person or entity to assess and document risk; and
- Failure of a person or entity that has employees, agents or other persons authorized to act on their behalf to develop and maintain a written ongoing compliance training program for those employees, agents or persons.
FINTRAC has had the authority to issue administrative monetary penalties in response to non-compliance with the act and related regulations since December 30, 2008. It says penalties are used as a last recourse after other measures to ensure compliance with the law have been exhausted.
"FINTRAC remains committed to working with reporting entities in ensuring compliance with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and related regulations," says the agency in a news release. "The new penalties are a tool to encourage compliance."
FINTRAC is an independent federal government agency with a mandate to assist in the detection, deterrence and prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities.

Hang Onto Your Seatbeats!
Categories:Market Trends,Properties,RE/MAX,Real Estate,Vancouver
The indications all point to a very active market for this fall in Vancouver. Following the excitement and energy of a successful hosting of the 2010 Olympic games, Vancouver is poised to experience a gold medal spring in terms of the real estate market in the lower mainland.
Several factors point to continued growth in development, sales activity, and price. Firstly, the market fundamental of supply and demand has never been stronger on the demand side. Vancouver is desirable as a world class city with it's amazing urban amenities. The city is in a natural setting that is second to none in the world. It is nestled between mountains and sea. The incredible landscape also provides for a mild temperature, something unusual for a Canadian city. The forests are lush, with moss and ferns under the canopy of giant spruce and cedar trees. Vancouver is a mountain metropolis surrounded by a rainforest. Following the exposure the area received during the games, inquiries from around the globe have increased, signalling continued demand for Vancouver real estate.
The price of land will continue to climb as long as there is more demand than available supply. Despite the fact that Vancouver is already categorized as "severely unaffordable" in comparision studies between average wage and average house price, the allure of living in this amazing city continues to drive the market.
In order to continue to keep up with the demand, developers seek out new locations for high density housing. Projects are fanning further and further away from the core of Greater Vancouver, ahead of mass transit infrastructure projects. This activity on the development side brings employment and opportunity, which continues to feed the demand for housing.
Sales activity remains strong as baby boomers seek to use the sale of their homes to leverage their retirement plans. Many long time Vancouverites are benefiting from the surge in prices and demand for property in Great Vancouver. This demand has created many new millionaires, who can now consider selling and retiring by downsizing and cashing in on their new found equity.

A third provision in the omnibus spending bill requires federal officials to destroy background-check approval records on gun purchases within 24 hours of the purchase. The current law requires the records be kept for 90 days. We host a debate between the National Rifle Association and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. [includes transcript]
Another part of the omnibus spending bill requires federal officials to destroy background-check approval records on gun purchases within 24 hours of the purchase. The current law requires the records be kept for 90 days.
Opponents of the measure say it would make it harder to track guns used in crimes, investigate shady gun dealers, or even track down someone plotting a terror attack who might buy guns in the United States.
Backers say record destruction will not hamper law enforcement, but will protect gun owners' privacy. At a December 2001 hearing, Attorney General John Ashcroft declared that FBI checks of gun records into foreigners being detained on suspicion of possible connections to the September 11 hijackers would "violate their privacy."
Law enforcement groups across the country oppose the gun purchase measure. Los Angles Police Commissioner William Bratton said, "I just don't understand how Congress members can even consider it. Obviously they haven't shown up at the scene of enough officer shootings."
- Eric Howard, spokesman for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence united with the Million Mom March.
- Andrew Arulanandam, Director of Public Affairs for the National Rifle Association which is backing the amendment.
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: As we move now to another part of the omnibus spending bill, which requires federal officials to destroy background check approval records on gun purchases within 24 hours of the purchase. The current law requires records to be kept for 90 days.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Opponents say it would make it harder to track guns used in crimes, investigate shady gun dealers or even track down someone plotting a terror attack who might buy guns in the United States.
AMY GOODMAN: Backers say record destruction will not hamper law enforcement but will protect gun owner's privacy. At a December 2001 hearing, Attorney General John Ashcroft declared F.B.I. checks of gun records on foreigners detained in suspicion of possible connection to the September 11th hijackers would quote: "violate their privacy."
JUAN GONZALEZ: Law enforcement groups across the country opposed the gun purchase measure. Los Angeles police commissioner, William Bratten said, quote; "I just don't understand how congress can even consider it. Obviously, they haven't shown up at the scene of enough officer shootings."
AMY GOODMAN: We are joined by Eric Howard, spokesman for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Andrew Arulanandam, he is director of public affairs from the National Rifle Association backing the amendment. Let's start with Andrew Arulanandam. Why do you like it?
ANDREW ARULANANDAM: Well, I think there needs to be several clarifications. First of all, the universe of records that are in question over here are the approvals, hence, they are the records of law abiding Americans. The National Rifle Association has no problem with law enforcement maintaining the records of those disapprovals, hence those criminals, for as long as law enforcement needs them. Again these are records of law abiding Americans and they should be destroyed according to the law, which you erroneously stated stipulates that they should be kept for 90 days. The law states that this is the national instant check system with an emphasis on instant. The law intended for all records of law abiding Americans to be destroyed as soon as the approval came through. This 90-day stipulation is just a hangover from the Clinton administration.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Eric Howard, your response?
ERIC HOWARD: That is not true, actually. The N.R.A. Tried filing a lawsuit and lost on the argument he is making right now that that is not the case for holding it for 90 days.
ANDREW ARULANANDAM: What lawsuit are you referring to?
ERIC HOWARD: I'm talking about the one that you brought up originally when the records were kept for much longer than they are right now and you lost on that.
ANDREW ARULANANDAM: But if you look at the law under the national instant check system, which is part of the Brady bill which you should be very familiar with.
ERIC HOWARD: Right, and there's nothing in there about an instant check. Let me...
ANDREW ARULANANDAM: Way back when, you were known as Handgun Control Inc., which was the name that you since dropped.
ERIC HOWARD: I'd like to clarify a few points here.
AMY GOODMAN: Let me just reintroduce you, Eric Howard, spokesperson for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Andrew Arulanandam spokesperson for the National Rifle Association. Eric Howard?
ERIC HOWARD: Thank you. First of all it isn't us pointing out that this is a serious problem and will allow hundreds of criminals, felons and stalkers to keep their guns. It is the independent investigative arm of Congress that investigated this after Ashcroft originally made the proposal. And they determined that just within six months, hundreds of individuals who are prohibited purchasers will be armed, and this is only one provision that is in this omnibus bill. There are three others that really concern us, and it's part of the gun industry, and the gun lobbies defense against a story that they are really unhappy that is being told. It's being told partly by Robert Ricker, who was a former N.R.A. Lobbyist, a top gun industry lobbyist, and the story that he hold when he testified in court is that the industry is knowingly funneling weapons into the illegal market.
ANDREW ARULANANDAM: In response to that, Amy, I would like to say that Eric is completely off the mark. Either he does not know the law, or he is intentionally trying to deceive your listeners. Because the law states under the national instant check system, which was signed into law by none other than President Clinton that records of law abiding citizens should be destroyed instantly. Again, I cannot emphasize this enough: The universe of records that are in question over here are the approvals. These are the records of law abiding Americans. And I don't know how else to say this, the N.R.A. has no problems with law enforcement maintaining the records of disapprovals of criminals for as long as they need. So, I guess I'm at a loss as to why Eric continues to push this propaganda and his organization as well continues to push this propaganda of deceit. To be perfectly honest, I think this is a desperation tactic. They have failed at this.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Let me ask Eric Howard a second. Why would the need for more than 24 hours... is it that the 24-hour time would not allow sufficient time to catch anybody whose background should not allow them to hold a gun permit?
ERIC HOWARD: There are actually a couple of reasons that the GEO cited. One of them is that. After an individual is charged, it takes time for the case–the case they have cited, which happens quite often, is a domestic violence abuser is charged, but the information isn't in the system yet. And the individual goes, buys the gun, and nothing–it doesn't get flagged. He succeeds in buying his gun because the system hasn't made it up yet to the federal level. And then often these individuals seeing that they were able to succeed the first time go back a second time. But during that second time, they go for the sale. It's now in the system, and it flags them.
AMY GOODMAN: Alright, we have to wrap up this discussion. I want to thank you both for being there. A National Rifle Association spokesperson, as well as a spokesperson for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Two people who couldn't have more opposed views, Eric Howard and Andrew Arulanandam. Michael Moore points out in one of his letters and in his book, John Ashcroft is still prohibiting the F.B.I. from looking through the gun background check files to see if any of the nineteen highjackers or associates purchased any weapons prior to 9-11. Because that he said, we are told, would violate these terrorists sacred Second Amendment rights. I don't think most people in the country understand that. By the way Michael Moore will be joining us on Democracy Now! And if people have questions for him you can email them to us at email@example.com or you can call and record a message at 212-209-2999.

ok, its been a while, so I posted another 3 min game.
my opponent played bird opening, which is a special one for me, as I remembered in high school I played against my chemistry teacher, and he used 1.f4 and e4 as white. He is the best chess player in the school because he used to win city championships when he was still young in his town.
another game I played, and my opponent have quite a scary name, as the name is my favourite chess player lol
Hey. Well, I'm not sure if I count as an 'amateur', but I'm hardly a 'pro', so inhabiting that middle-ground. In any case, I've started playing some OTB chess again and learning some new openings as well.
I've been annotating my games in my blog:
so you can have a look at them if you're interested. I've previously posted some very nice wins, but now I'm focusing precisely on imperfect games with mutual errors (and also - not the critical theoretical lines)
I've just started, so there isn't much material (yet), but I am constantly adding new stuff, sooo... enjoy :)
I'd welcome some feedback both on the opening and overall play
learnateverygame.... lovely move to pin his rooks!!!
This is my 2nd try - 1st time I got timed out and lost all my comments :-/
He's slightly higher rated than me although I thought I had the game at one point. Towards the end I ran out of time (from 10min game) because I couldn't close a mate around him - any help appreciated.
Looking through analysis you always spot things you could have done better so I'll mention what I notice after and please chip in with any cents you may have spare :-)
@ spinfidelety why didn't you just take the free rook on move 54? or on move 53? (knight for rook trade)
@ spin : at move 2, g4 is a mistake I think as it weakens your king, and all of your pieces are not developed yet !
but this typical of amateur's mistake, they push pawns a lot ( me included, and I still do it, and only when I saw its safe to do so). You just have to be more "aware" of your pieces and surroundings, as you missed a lot of good, juicy moves.
at move 30 I observed that your pawn structure is really good, and the d6 square is literally begging for a bishop or knight to sit on. Material balance is equal, and you have good chances to win, as the e6 pawn are too weak, your bishops are ready to control key squares, at this moment, strong players would have played cat and mouse ( not allowing any counterplay whatsoever, only taking material when its safe to do so, this actually gives a lot of psychological pressure to your opponent)
I believe that with some more practice, you will be a stronger player!
Just be patient if you're winning.
good point. cheers
@learn #869
Thanks for your input, I see what you mean about getting on the d6 and going after weak pawns. I will try to be more patient in my development too.
Much appreciated
Here are one blitz
a bullet game I played today against a 2100 player, I have played against this one before, in a 2 min + 1 sec blitz, winning once , and now, eventhough I lost on time, the tactical shot is something I had always want to do for a long time, in which I do not have the opportunity to do so.
Hey everyone! I've got two games from the minnesota open from over the weekend. My first one: I got trolled! second one: I spam the tactics!
@ zman - what about 12. ...Qd6?
black is already in trouble, by not castling, and fyi, Qd6 is not possible, black is losing at this point, due to the threat of Bb5++ double check and mate.
I suggest at move 8 ... e6 then Be7 and castles. Black is a little bit worse, but not losing as one shows in game continuation.
Young man, keep your queen away from attack.
A lot of these games are pretty interesting.
ok, time to post some more games, this one is from online chess :)
first up, a game I played a month ago, I had 2 pawns for a piece, then I did some tactics, and in the end, he resign in a position lots of people said a draw.
looks like black is winning with his connected passed pawn, when white's pawn seems to be stopped dead in its track, can white salvage the game ?
Try and swallow THIS one, why don't y'all.
@weaponking : nice game ! I thought your position was quite lost there on move 77, but he erred with d6, and you got your chance to salvage the game, the rest is way outside my ability, as I can't see winning variations. Well done !

Ghana, nervous, children, youth, projects abroad, hopes, dreams, Beginning
To whomever is reading,
So, I have been accepted by Projects Abroad to travel to Ghana and help children and youth in need. I should be excited but I am nervous becuase now it is all becoming real. I have to raise around $8000 to make this trip possible. This trip is more than just completing my intership hours for school, this trip is the beginning of dreams and hopes becoming reality. My hopes and dreams are to help and care for children and youth. I'm hoping that money will not hinder me from doing good. Im going to work as hard as a I can to make this possible and trust that God will see me through this trip.
So, this the beginning; should be excited but nervous. Hoping and praying that I will be able to share God's love with my people in Ghana.

Care Management Plan, care project south africa, projects abroad
The beginning of the New Year, means that we get to start afresh and tackle the challenges that we would like take on. One of the care projects goals is to see a full implementation of our Care Management plan at all our placements.
This year our care volunteers will be focusing on 6 year old children, who will enter into primary school the following year. By doing this our project can have a more structured programme that will allow us to keep up with the progress being made. We will now be able to make sure that the development of the children is on the same level as their peers, making them eligible to start with their Grade 1 education.
Through a volunteer task list, the volunteers at the care placements are given goals in different areas such as literacy, numeracy and stimulation. Our volunteers play a vital role in assisting the teachers to keep record of the children's development. Teachers and volunteers work hand-in-hand in creating visual aids, activities and planning of weekly lessons that will also focus on the four key areas of early childhood development (Physical, Social, Emotional, and Learning).

children, medicine, volunteer, projects abroad, Philippines
To learn more about medicine in developing countries and to expand her medical knowledge is what made Jenna Cosentino, 20 years old from the USA, to volunteer in the Philippines through Projects Abroad.
She was a medical volunteer in the Cebu Provincial Hospital-Bogo City. Like any other volunteers, she also assisted the doctors and nurses and worked with volunteers in the hospital. In the morning, they made rounds, taking patients vital signs: blood pressure and temperature. Projects Abroad volunteers increase the productivity in the hospital as the volunteers are able to do some tasks while the doctors and nurses are still busy attending to the patients. She noticed that Projects Abroad helped in fixing the hospital to make it more appealing and clean. "While I was there Projects Abroad was working in the Pedia-ward and they re-painted some walls and ceiling and also replaced the doors of the comfort rooms. Many volunteers also donated supplies to the hospital. Two of my fellow volunteers and myself bought and donated 4 fans to the OB ward as there were no fans in there prior to that day , with the new babies and suffering from heat", she said.
Jenna worked at the hospital starting from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon. Upon arriving in the morning, she accompanied a nurse or a fellow volunteer and took all of the patients' vital signs. They checked if the patients' blood pressure and temperature have change much from the day before and try to advise them what to do to try to make them better. She was able to assist in many departments at the hospital too. She enjoyed being in the delivery room as she was able to witness many deliveries, and also liked to be in the emergency room as it was always a surprise what she should see.
For her, she learned an immense amount of information during her short stay in the Philippines. From the way things were run in the hospital, to the way that the locals lived, to the stories shared over dinner with her host family. "From my first day in the Philippines, my host family made me feel right at home and as if I was a part of their family. My host brothers and sisters always made sure that I had everything that I needed and if there was anything that I needed they would accompany me into town and show me where to go to get what I needed", Jenna said.
"One of my most memorable experiences in the Philippines was watching a mother gave birth and assisting the doctor and nurse in this process. I stood with the nurse while the baby was born and after the baby was born, I remember being the first to tell the woman that it was a little boy and the smile on her face was priceless. I was then able to assist in cleaning the baby and giving him his vaccinations and then carried him over to his mother. Seeing her face light up when she saw her son for the first time was priceless and a moment that I will never forget", she added. Another one of her favourite moments was donating the fans to the OB ward with two fellow volunteers and seeing how happy the mothers were by being given by simple little fan was amazing and they knew right then how happy they had made them. Jenna loved how every single member of Bogo City community was so kind and welcoming and they all helped her to make Bogo feel like home to her. "I will forever miss the heart-warming smiles that I saw every day on the streets of Bogo and from my host family. For any other volunteers I would advise them to make most of their time, try new things and always keep an open mind! Your time in Bogo will fly but the memories will last forever"!

children, Disaster Rehabilitation, Rebulding, volunteer, projects abroad, Philippines
It has been a pleasure to see foreign people come to the Philippines to help those who were affected by super typhoon Yolanda. To date, it was last November 8, 2013 when it hit the Philippines. The massive destruction it brought made most of the people living in northern Cebu and neighbouring provinces, homeless. Until now, several people are still in the recovery process. Projects Abroad with the help of its volunteers has been extending help to rehabilitate schools and build houses.
Among of the volunteers who came and helped at the building project was Emmanuel Clerc, 31 years old from France. He came to the volunteer for he wanted to make a difference for the people affected by the typhoon and therefore was a disaster relief volunteer. He was assigned in Maño, San Remigio, Cebu, a 20-minute ride from Bogo City at the relocation site of the typhoon Yolanda survivors living in San Remigio. A total of 300 houses to be built at the site and it really needs help from the volunteers to reach the target.
At the site, Emmanuel was given enough work along with his fellow volunteers from other countries; also local tradesmen and each of them have assigned tasks to do. He have experienced putting roofs on, mixing cement and making window and door jambs. Aside from that, he also helped setting floor foundation.
It was a fabulous experience for Emmanuel being able to help the local community in the Philippines. He also enjoyed his stay with his host family. "My host family is very nice and kind. In the evening I played with a lot of children and experienced their way of living. In disaster relief, I got to know very nice locals, Amid, Dante and Gabriel. Life in Philippines is somehow not easy especially for those who don't have much but what I admired is that they are always smiling and they enjoy and take the time to have a good time. In my country everybody are always busy, and most of people keeps on complaining. It was a really good human experience for me to be in the Philippines. ", Emmanuel said.
"My advice to the other volunteers is to enjoy all the time they will spend with their family. Sometimes I was tired after the work, but I played for 4 hours with the children and it was very fun. For the disaster relief, my advice is to work a lot towards helping the local people. Sometimes the weather is very warm and sometimes rainy but it was not a problem for me. The most important is to enjoy and find a personal satisfaction", he added.

Philippines, projects abroad, volunteer, care, teaching, children
Ces 3 mois ont été remplis de belles rencontres et de découvertes enrichissantes. Les Philippines sont un pays qui mérite le détour non seulement pour ses magnifiques paysages mais surtout pour ses habitants qui sont extraordinairement accueillants et gentils. Ils méritent qu'on vienne les aider car ils ne cessent d'être touchés par des catastrophes naturelles. Et malgré cela, j'ai rencontré des gens contents de ce qu'ils ont, vivant simplement, et ayant une énorme reconnaissance pour notre soutien.
Ce voyage était attendu depuis longtemps et il était excitant d'arriver enfin à destination. En même temps, c'est un peu l'inconnu qui nous attend. Qu'il est agréable et réconfortant d'être accueillie dès la sortie de l'aéroport par un large sourire ! Puis l'organisation veille à tout ce qu'il faut pour un bon départ : des explications sur le mode de vie, un petit tour de ville pour situer les principaux endroits utiles, l'accompagnement pour l'achat d'un moyen de communication, l'utilisation du moyen de transport de la ville, le tricycle, comment revenir à l'office, etc.
Suivi des instructions pour le lieu de travail choisi. On peut poser toutes les questions qui nous tracassent et nous voilà rassurés, prêts pour le séjour. C'était très utile et très sympa. Leur soutien a été constant durant toute la durée du séjour.
J'ai eu l'immense plaisir de pouvoir aider Ma'am Cheryl dans sa classe de kindergarden. La journée commence à 8h avec l'équipe du matin. Après la prière et quelques chants, les enfants commencent leurs exercices de syllabation. J'adore les entendre répéter les sons tous ensemble. Pendant ce temps, je corrige leurs devoirs et note celui du lendemain. Les enfants alternent les moments collectifs oraux avec les moments où ils doivent écrire dans leur cahier. C'est ainsi que je peux intervenir pour aider ceux qui en ont besoin ou pour corriger leur travail. Parfois, je prépare quelques tableaux nécessaires à la suite du programme. J'ai pu proposer quelques activités que l'enseignante a acceptées avec plaisir. Etant aussi enseignante, Plusieurs points m'ont surpris, comme le fait de manger plein de sucreries à la récréation, et il était très intéressant de pouvoir échanger sur nos différences. J'ai également pu aller quelques jours dans la classe de Ma'am Doren dont j'admire la pédagogie et la patience qu'elle déploie afin que ses enfants intègrent les notions de base.
J'ai également pu aller enseigner à la classe de grade 4, qui correspond à l'âge de mes élèves. 46 élèves dans une seule classe et des enfants tellement attachants que c'était un vrai bonheur de pouvoir partager un peu de mon pays, un chant et des bricolages avec eux.
Mon passage dans cette école a été un vrai bonheur car les enfants ont de très beaux sourires et vous accueillent avec un 'hi'. Ils viennent pour vous prendre la main pour la porter à leur front ce qui est un signe de respect. Ce geste me touche à chaque fois. Je l'introduirais bien chez nous !
Mon séjour dans ma famille d'accueil était exceptionnel. Je suis leur première volontaire et Michelle, la maman s'est pliée en quatre pour me faire plaisir. Elle est d'une très grande modestie, d'une timidité et d'une gentillesse extrême. Autant dire qu'elle m'a chouchoutée. Comme j'avais rempli ma valise de divers jeux, il était important d'avoir des enfants pour jouer. Ce qui s'est passé a dépassé mes espérances car je n'ai pas joué seulement avec ses filles, mais petit à petit tous les enfants du quartier passaient après l'école à la maison. Quand j'arrivais un peu plus tard, ils m'attendaient et m'accueillaient avec un "Hi Miss Jacquie" et couraient vers moi. Ensuite, nous enchaînions les parties de uno, de triomino, d'élastiques, de badminton. Finalement, nous avons rétabli le terrain de volley en achetant un nouveau filet et une lampe afin de pouvoir jouer après la tombée de la nuit. Ces soirées restent des moments inoubliables pour moi.
J'ai aussi pu passer quelques jours sur le chantier de construction. C'est une nouvelle expérience pour moi et j'ai adoré l'endroit qui était magique, ainsi que le travail. Il était très intéressant de voir comment on peut construire une maison en ayant de simples outils. Quel courage !
Les weekends, j'ai pu profiter de visiter les îles alentours avec les autres volontaires. J'adore ces paysages, ces champs de cannes à sucre, ces champs de riz, les cocotiers, les plages de sable blancs, les chutes d'eau et les magnifiques couchers de soleil. J'ai pu faire de très chouettes connaissances parmi les autres volontaires et c'était très sympa de côtoyer tous ces jeunes venant de pays différents. Il n'était parfois pas facile de suivre leur conversation car les anglophones parlaient vite et oubliaient qu'on puisse ne pas tout comprendre. Néanmoins, il y avait un tout petit groupe de Canadiens et de Français qui me permettaient de m'exprimer avec mes propres expressions. J'ai eu la chance de cohabiter avec deux super volontaires avec lesquels je vais garder contact.
Ces 3 mois dans cette petite ville de Bogo resteront inoubliables. Je garde dans mon cœur tous ces gens, ces enfants avec qui j'ai partagé un sourire, un repas, un jeu, une discussion, un anniversaire, un voyage,... C'est grâce à ces Philippins si gentils, si reconnaissants, si chaleureux et si attachants que mon séjour restera extraordinaire.
Merci pour tout ! Vous êtes fantastiques !

Philippines, projects abroad, volunteer, nutrition
54 year-old Lisbet Keis is a nutritionist from Denmark. She came to the Philippines and joined the public health project of Projects Abroad because she wanted to do something that works with health and care since she have worked her whole life dealing with food.
On the first two days as a public health volunteer, she was assigned to a clinic in the city's health office and worked with TB patients. She wanted to do more than being in the clinic and assisting the local staff so she talked to Maam Billie, the nurse in the city health office if she could do a demonstration on nutrition instead. She have also seen and read the books from the government office that Philippines have a lot of nutritious food but many does not know how to make them. She met the mothers from few of the barangays in Bogo and decided to make a campaign on nutrition through demonstration together with Jasmine, another volunteer from Germany who is a nurse.
According to Lisbet, Projects Abroad could be a big part of the Bogo and the whole Philippines in making a huge difference through nutrition project as it is facing a big problem with diabetes and high blood pressure since most of the people here eat white rice during breakfast, lunch, dinner and eat only few vegetables. She also suggested to Projects Abroad to start a big nutrition project so people may learn the importance of nutrition and to lessen diabetes. As she started and made the campaign on nutrition in a small way, she felt that the mother's; especially young moms, listened to them and are happy with what they have done as they also tasted the final product on her menu on that day.
Aside from the nutrition project, she also suggested to have a sports project so people will be inclined to having regular exercise and will have a better understanding of the health benefit it brings. "The difference we have made is not a different now. It is a very big surprise for the mommies I have spoken with, which are more than 500 mommies. All the mommies started to taste carrots very little and after how many hours, they ate our salads, raw carrots, moringa and our healthy doughnuts. I have learned that here, money is not the most important thing. I have seen that the mommies take care of their children and I haven't heard children asked for money to buy something." "I will never forget all the mommies that I have spoken with as well as Maam Billie for such great help while I'm here. We have a great time!" she said.
While in the Philippines, Lisbet learned that there are so many trikes and laughed about it on her first three days. She felt safe and going out in the evening is not a problem. She admired what Projects Abroad did after typhoon Yolanda. In as much as she would want to visit all the schools repaired through Projects Abroad volunteers she wasn't able to make it for she lacked of time.
Her advice to the future volunteers is to come to the Philippines with a very open mind and look for what they can do while showing respect for the people around them.

Blog: What To Pack For Tanzania

packing, Tanzania, projects abroad, Arusha, Dar Es Salaam
One suitcase does not warrant much space when packing for such a grand adventure! Coming to Tanzania and volunteering makes one wonder what they need in order to be both appropriate and comfortable. In general a good rule to follow is to make sure that your knees and shoulders are always covered!
Of course, the clothing you pack does depends slightly on your placement and whether you will be in Dar Es Salaam or Arusha. Here we help you clarify what you should pack to make the most of your experience.
Care and Teaching: You will want long skirts or pants and shirts that are generally covered up. It is ok to wear short sleeved shirts especially in Dar Es Salaam where it can get very hot. In terms of shoes you will want something comfortable that can get dirty, you will often be outside with the children, where mud is a common occurrence. In general think about looking covered and respectable, but also don't bring anything that you are too attached too!
Micro-Finance, Journalism, and Human Rights: You will want to dress on the professional side for these projects. Dark slacks and fitted tops for a more business like setting will be best suited for these projects.
Building and Sports Projects: You will be getting dirty and you should think more about your comfort level. Shorts and t-shirts that you don't mind getting incredibly messy, and most likely even discarding of when you are done, is what you want to add to your suitcase.
Medical: You will be given a medical jacket from Projects Abroad that you will wear when you are volunteering. Underneath your coat you will be most comfortable in slacks or jeans and a loose breathing t-shirt. Shoes need to be plastic and closed toes. In addition volunteers will need to bring their own scrubs if they wish to observe in Theater.
Dar Es Salaam: You will want to pack clothes for hotter weather as Dar is on the coast and at a lower altitude. You will also most likely want to bring lighter clothing for your off time such as shorts and t-shirts and possibly swimwear as the beach (and Zanzibar) are very close by!
Arusha: Weather in Arusha can vary dramatically in a single day. You will want to prepare for days that are hot and nights that warrant a light sweater and longer pants. Think layers and you will be fine!
In addition you will be given a volunteer shirt from Projects Abroad when you arrive. This can be worn whenever it is seen fit!
Blog: Volunteering: The Holiday Season That Never Ends

holidays, volunteering, Christmas, December, projects abroad, Tanzania
The holiday season is upon us, a time when our attention shifts to connection. Connection fueled by generosity. A time when our focus shifts to some of humanity's most innate core values.
Knowing the importance of both connection and generosity it is hard not to wonder why this is a once a year event? Why only once a year must we once again become cognizant of some of life's most essential ingredients? Surely these are things that we should be practicing at all times! Clearly these are values that should guide us not just come December.
We are designed to crave connection; feeling seen, understanding and listening with empathetic ears, creating a dialogue that is genuine and beneficial to all involved is one of our most basic human needs.
The holiday's are a wonderful opportunity to return to this realization, but how can we remember to connect on a more daily basis? Volunteering can help us take these values and once again infuse them into our daily lives. Instead of separating them and placing them into a category marked by holiday cheer and presents, we can embrace the ways in which mutual connection can actually fuel our souls.
Every time we listen to someone else's story, every time we help a child understand a new concept, every time we give a family the correct medication for their children, every time we lay a new block for the construction of a school we are employing the power of connection. We are generous not because it is Christmas but because it fills us up to the tippy top with happiness. We reach out to others not to deliver presents but to create connection.
As volunteers we take the cheer of the holidays and employ it in our daily lives, practicing both generosity and connection until we understand the true gifts that we receive.
And ultimately when we leave our respective placements we take the lessons that we have learned and we bring them home. We act as though it is always December, because we realize how good December feels. We lose the tradition of gift giving, we lose the decorations, and the excessive music and we simply bask in the natural gifts that are the foundation for the holidays. We are more generous, we reach out without expectation, we listen with patience and understanding. Regardless of the date we act with generosity and we strive for genuine connection, because we understand how detrimental to humanity it is if we forget to.

Improvement, expectations, Tanzania, projects abroad, volunteering
Before embarking on an experience as monumental as volunteering in Tanzania it is hard not to play the 'what will it be like game'. It is hard not to start concocting images of what kind of bed you will have at your homestay, what impact you will be able to make on the local community, and what kind of cultural connections you will form. It's natural, it will happen, but expectations should be kept in check as a volunteer enters a large community and network that is already established. Here are four reasons why being open to whatever your experience may be will actually make you a better volunteer.
1. Being Ready to Help Out in Whatever Way is Most Needed
Walking in with expectations about what your role will be as a volunteer might hinder your ability to help out in the way that will most benefit the project. There are ways in which you may want to help, or ideas that you have about how your skills will be best used, yet at the end of the day your placement has a good sense of their needs and how you can make the biggest contribution.
2. Embracing the Culture, Not your Idea of the Culture
Expectations often times include imagining what the culture or community that you are living in will be like. By engaging with a culture through the lens that you have created you are likely to miss out on the essence of where you are actually living.
3. The Ability to Understand the Big Picture
Often times before leaving home it is easy to predict how your presence will have an impact on the project that you are joining. The reality is that one person, one volunteer, is only a part of the overall group. Each volunteer must strive to understand the goals of their placement, without overly projecting their own ideas of what success and progress mean.
4. Maintaining Realistic Goals
The role of each volunteer is incredibly important yet sometimes expectations can make you feel as though drastic changes are possible in short periods of time. The reality is not as simple, and while every little bit helps change still takes time.

trial, court, projects abroad, criminal war, South Africa, Human Rights Project
Human Rights Volunteer Jack Harrison from the United Kingdom wrote this month's report, describing his experience of working on a criminal case with the Projects Abroad Human Rights Office.
Criminal Report: "On Thursday the 23rd of October, I went with criminal attorney, Sherwin, to meet two new clients who are currently incarcerated in the notorious Pollsmoor Prison, awaiting trial. We are only able to assist clients at Pollsmoor who are accused of 'petty crimes'.
The first step we had to take was to ensure that those we met were in fact those we could provide legal assistance to. The guards, despite our instructions, brought two men who we were unable to help. These men had to be sent away, unfortunately.
We were left with two men, who stood accused of crimes which we were able to defend them for. We interviewed them in one of the court video link rooms, with no guard present; this was an unnerving experience!
Our first new client stood accused of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm (GBH). He wished to plead not guilty. The client claimed that he was watching some minstrels performing in the street outside of his house. His friend, who had drank too much, was vomiting at the time.
A woman came out of the neighbouring house, and began to shout at them. At this point, someone threw a large stone or brick, hitting the woman in the face and causing her with a reasonably serious injury. The client claimed to us that he had not ever seen this happen before. However, his friend (who the client claims likes to 'play around') blamed him for throwing the object at the woman. The client maintains it was in fact this friend who threw the object.
Two days after the incident, the police came and arrested the client, as the woman had apparently reported him as the perpetrator of the assault upon her. The client's bail had been denied, due to him having several pending cases related to attempted murder and possession of illegal ammunition. He therefore had to remain in Pollsmoor until his upcoming trial.
The second new client was a previous client of ours, who was once again in Pollsmoor. The client was accused of housebreaking with intent to steal and theft.The previous case which we had assisted him with was also theft, which the client had been convicted of. This client wanted to plead guilty, as he had effectively been caught 'in the act'. One evening, the client broke into a shed, intending to steal hardware from within it. However, a loud alarm went off, and he was forced to flee the scene.
The next morning, the client tried to go back to the shed to retrieve the goods which he had attempted to steal. He discovered four grinders, which he placed into a bucket and tried to make off with. However, he was spotted leaving by a taxi driver, who kept him in place until the police arrived and arrested him.
This client had been unable to afford bail, so he was stuck in Pollsmoor until his trial. The client was very upset about this, as he had wanted to be home for Christmas. We immediately began preparing the defences of both of these clients."

"July 12th, 1970, is a day of infamy in the history of classical music."
If you have never heard of that day, or don't associate anything in particular with it: neither did I. Incidentally, the tragedy of that date is closely connected with never hearing anything of it, because it was the day Norwegian composer Geirr Tveitt's house burnt down and with it his (largely unpublished) body of music; wiping out some nine tenths of his output.
The introductory line is plagiarized from Robert R. Reilly's chapter on the composer, and about Geirr Tveitt (born Nils Tveit) I learned through his book, "Surprised by Beauty". Of the many composers covered in "Surprised" that I didn't know then, Geirr Tveitt somehow, inexplicably, remained 'undiscovered' for me—until now*, almost eight years later. He was the prepenultimate unknown quantity that Reilly covers in "Surprised", now only Stephen Gerber and Alexander Tcherepnin still await my own discovery. (Though I'll also need to get more closely acquainted with Harald Sæverud and László Lajtha.)
What a blot of ignorance that has been at last been lifted from my classical music conscience. What magnificence there can be in Tveitt! I cherish the puppy-like naïveté of this discovery so greatly in part because there are so few left for me. There once was a time when I came across such unadulterated beauty and sophistication from a 'new' composer or 'new' work. But those were times that still held undiscovered Bach works in store for me, or later composers like Zelenka or Janácek or Poulenc or Duparc. For now I prefer not to wait to get as much Tveitt under my belt as I can; to not make myself a make-pretend Geirr Tveitt demi-expert over the course of a week of CD purchasing, Grove-reading, and intrepid googling. (I'll save that for a some time next year.) I'll write about the epiphany, instead.
One of the dearest coincidences finally put a copy of his Fourth Piano Concerto "Aurora Borealis" (1947) and the de-facto Two-Piano Concerto "Variations on a Folksong from Hardanger" (1939) in my hands. It starts with the latter—and when I think back to the repertoire played at the Piano Duo part of the ARD Competition, I can't help to cringe about all that Mendelssohn and Mozart in the finale…when Poulenc and this Tveitt concerto would have been available. The "Variations" double concert is part of the large body of work that Tveitt devoted to folksongs from Hardanger, of which he collected about a thousand only to use them, variously worked over, in his compositions. They speak to the listener as Tveitt wraps their charming simplicity and liveliness into virtuosic orchestration with French impressionistic touches
Geirr Tveitt was a virtuoso of both the piano and the orchestra (not for nothing was he chief orchestral arranger for NRK, the Norwegian Radio), and his music encapsulates the spirit of Norway's folk tradition as completely as does that of Grieg and Sæverud. His Fourth Piano Concerto of 1947 is highly original and, as its subtitle suggests, evokes the extraordinary display and movement of the Northern Lights. It is superbly played by Håvard Gimse and the Scottish Orchestra under Bjarte Engeset. The Variation, in which Gimse is joined by Gunilla Süssmann, are also full of character and colour, even if they somewhat outstay their welcome. Strongly recommended.

Demon Hider by Yue-IcesealWatch
A Chinese novel by A Qi.
A sorcerer that can hide demons as tattoo in the body.
Edit- Lol, is it really obvious that he's a guy? Because in the novel he is very feminine looking and that put me off at first, but then I grew to love his personality. My mum noticed that the necklace he's wearing is a good luck charm for children(because I had that before xD), I meant for that because despite being a 2-faced manipulative bastard at times he really is pretty childish at heart.
Well, at first glance I would figure him to be male, but very feminine. But that's more the chest than anything - seeing just the face I would've probably thought he was at the very least very androgynous. Well, more so than the whole picture. You know what I mean.
All that said: Amazing work. I genuinely do not know how you do that. It must've taken more hours than I could imagine... Most definitely shows. I love how parts of the background seem to fade into a watercolor piece that seems less detailed but still totally fits. Is that thing around him - the serpent-fish thing - one of the demons?
Also: The design of the clothes. I always adore how you do those. It makes me wish I was a better art critic just so I could tell you how amazing it is in detail.
But in any case, this is an absolutely gorgeous picture! Every time I look at it I find another detail to fall in love with!
What is it called?
