To kick off the holiday season, Loeffler Randall is collaborating with impassioned and creative women for a series of DIY projects. First up is Denise Porcaro, the owner of New York City based Flower Girl, who is sharing her tips how to make a living succulent wreath. Honestly, WTF – I love this! A fan of succulents, this is my kind of project and definitely something I would even consider hanging on my front door all year long. Check out the full instructions here. P.S. How badly do you need a pair of grey boots this winter?!

Black On Black On Black
If your a fashion enthusiast and a literature or history buff (gasp!), I hope you're already familiar with Textbook, where our friend and fellow blogger John Januzzi imagines how fictional heroines, cultural icons, and historical figures might be styled for this day and age. Characters like Jay Gatsby, Veruca Salt, Joan of Arc, and Tinkerbell are playfully dissected and outfitted with individualized runway pieces. The collages are meticulously assembled and the captions are witty. All in all, it's honestly genius. He even takes requests! So dear John, what would Jo March wear?

Several years ago, we were surprised to discover that the Yugo was still being made. Sometimes dubbed the worst car in history, Serbian automaker Zastava continued producing the Yugo through 2008 when the last one rolled off the assembly line in Kragujevac after a twenty-year production run. That was only months after Fiat inked a deal to buy the company and its assets, including the factory.

What started as only a cute little hatchback, the Fiat 500 will now be growing into a full range of models. The new cabriolet and Abarth versions have already launched here in the United States, and we just got our first glimpse at the larger 500L (pictured above) during the Geneva Motor Show. But now, Automotive News reports that an even larger 500 crossover, dubbed 500X, will be heading into production next year.

My final year project group is planning to build a real time application with neural network support and need to handle image processing efficiently, Any language suggestions would be very much helpful. Thanks.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
My suggestion is OpenCV and C++. OpenCV is also usable with Python, but I don't recommend it if you need to write fast code, Python can be really slow.
Mathematica may offer some useful features. The last couple of releases have added quite a lot of image processing functionality. You can get a taste by looking at these blog entries:
Mathematica is an interpreted language, which would appear to present an obstacle to your real-time constraints. However, Mathematica has always integrated well will foreign code (notably C, Java and .NET) and the latest release adds considerable new capabilities with respect to C-code generation, dynamic-library loading and CUDA / OpenCL GPU programming.
Alas, Mathematica is not FOSS and is pretty expensive for commercial use. However, they give great student discounts (90%+, last time I checked) and some college/university departments have site licenses.
On the down side, the Mathematica language is quite unconventional and it takes time to get into the swing of things. IMO, the effort is worth it, but the learning curve might be too long if your project timelines are short.
Note: I am not affiliated with WRI in any way.
How about Python? There is PIL, which
An introductory article about NN with python and a feed forward NN library:
Matlab provides a lot of features for image processing. May be slightly slow, but I assume performance is not an issue.
ImageMagick is suppose to be real good, but I have no first-hand experience. Mathematica?

Recipe: Layered Carrot Cake
The star of this classic carrot layer cake is the thick sweetened cream frosting that you spread between the cake layers and on the top and sides of the cake. The cake gets extra sweetness from the addition of crushed pineapple to the batter.
Moist, flavorful, and often paired with creamy frosting, these carrot cake recipes are perfectly delightful.

This paper presents one of the possible hazardous situations during transportation of gas through the international pipeline. It describes case when at high pressure gas pipeline, due to mechanical or chemical effect, the crack and gas leakage appears and gas is somehow triggered to combusting. As a consequence of heat impingement on the pipe surface will be, change of material properties (decreasing of strength) at high temperatures. In order to avoid greater rapture a reasonable pressure relief rate needs to be applied. Standards in this particular domain of depressurizing procedure are not so exact (DIN EN ISO 23251; API 521). The main part of the work consists of two calculations. First is the numerical simulation of heat radiation of combustible gas which affects the pipeline, done by software FLUENT, and second in Matlab. There are also given conclusions according to achieved results.

bradley probably weighs the same as pac, if not more on fight night, amazing how people say its a joke fight, he is fighting a prime undefeated fighter in bradley. its not like pac has a huge weight advantage
people criticising pac for fighting bradley if it happens is actually a compliment, he has become so good that people expect pac to fight guys constantly bigger than him by 10-15-20 pounds during fight night
outside of floyd and martinez, this is the best fight pac can make
we all know floyd has no intention of fighting pac, he even said it himself he lied when he said pac is next

Base salary from $160k to $210k.
His "bonus" went from $100k to $110k.
In all, his pay increased $60,000 while revenues & income both went DOWN.
The CFOs bonus doubled from $15k to $30k.
Does anyone else see a problem with the above ?
Yeah, well, Ron says to call someone who cares.
Who do you think this company about ? I own this stock a long time. Looking for an up side. But CO is for himself not share holder. For me is hold and hope.

DNC: Hillary Clinton campaign unsure how to react to Russian hack claims
In crisis mode through the weekend, the DNC response was two-fold: political embarrassment and blame for the Russians.
In crisis mode through the weekend, the DNC response was two-fold: political embarrassment and blame for the Russians.
Extraordinary Democratic Party allegations that Moscow is behind a massive leak of internal party emails as a Russian strategy to help Donald Trump are being taken seriously.
On the eve of the Democratic Party's national convention its head Debbie Wasserman Schultz has resigned amid a leaked email scandal.
Provocative documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has announced that 'this wretched, ignorant, dangerous part-time clown and full time sociopath is going to be our next president'.
Fears Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may in fact be pursuing a Russian agenda with his candidacy have triggered a wave of alarm in the US.
A Donald Trump presidency in the US may be the best outcome for Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
A Democrat even the Republicans recognise as a stable, unwavering guy, Tim Kaine has a scandal-free record as a politician.
On the eve of the convention meant to confirm Hillary Clinton as presidential candidate, the Democratic Party has been plunged into crisis
Hillary Clinton's choice of former Virginia governor and current senator Tim Kaine, is an important decision.
US Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia will be Number 2 on her ticket when she gets confirmed as the party's nominee next week.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has delivered a controversial speech on the final day of the tumultuous party convention.
At times, the speech was drowned out by the cheering crowds in the arena of the Republican National Convention.
Donald Trump's campaign chairman has backpedalled over what the candidate would do if Russia attacked NATO allies.
To the neutral observer, the convention seems like an unmitigated disaster. But the bubble shows no sign of bursting.
The Fox News boss built a power machine that outlasted presidents and set the ground for the success of the Republican candidates' firebrand conservatism.
Republican divisions on full display as Senator Ted Cruz in speech refuses to endorse Donald Trump for president.
Great hopes for Republicans uniting behind Donald Trump fractured when Texas Senator Ted Cruz fronted up.
Cleveland police have arrested 18 protesters after scuffling with demonstrators who tried to set an American flag on fire near the crowded entrance to the arena where Republicans made Donald Trump their presidential nominee.
Underscoring deep divisions at the Republican National Convention, US Senator Ted Cruz of Texas was loudly booed after he declined to endorse the party's presidential nominee Donald Trump and urged people to vote their conscience.
Historically, rock 'n' roll has been about challenging authority. The '90s band Third Eye Blind decided to renew that tradition in a big way early Wednesday morning at a convention-related party held, fittingly enough, at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum here.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is considering nominating Oklahoma oil and gas mogul Harold Hamm as energy secretary if elected to the White House on November 8, according to four sources close to Trump's campaign.
After two days of mostly restrained protests, tensions escalated on Wednesday afternoon when demonstrators burnt an American flag outside an entrance point for delegates.
In the tech industry, Silicon Valley leader's upcoming appearance at Republican convention is being greeted with more apprehension than excitement.
The statement marks the first time the Trump campaign has ever publicly apologised for anything.
The US Secret Service is investigating one of Donald Trump's most outspoken supporters.
With the official nomination of Donald Trump as the Republican Party's presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton has the opponent of her dreams - someone whose character, preparation and views are so defective as to make last night's roll call a devastating moment in the lives of many Republicans.
If he wins the presidency, Donald Trump could ask Congress to pass legislation making it easier to fire public workers, Chris Christie said.
Of Donald Trump's four adult children, one remains a relative unknown.
Republicans sought to move past a rocky first night of their nominating convention and unify their party Tuesday against Hillary Clinton, as their nominee Donald Trump predicted victory and said, "We have to go all the way."
The journalist widely credited as the first to document the apparent plagiarism wasn't at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and wasn't even assigned to cover the convention at all. He was 2000 miles away at a coffee shop in Los Angeles, tweeting.

Cancer Health Center
Global Cancer Rates Set to Soar by 2030
Cancer Profiles Change as Countries Become More Westernized
David M. Nanus, MD, is the chief of the division of hematology and medical oncology at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He reviewed the findings for WebMD.
"There are two reasons we get cancer," he says. "One is infections. Hepatitis B infection will give you liver cancer and HPV infection will give you cervical cancer," he says. "The other cause is environmental. Breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancer are the big four, and they have all been shown to be more environmental than infectious."
What does that mean? It means that as countries become more developed and move toward a more Westernized way of life -- not exercising, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking -- rates of these cancers will increase, Nanus says. This will occur against the backdrop of lower rates of cancers linked to infection.
Americans are a cautionary tale, he says. "Globally, there has to be a greater emphasis on lifestyle prevention and getting the message across that the Western diet in America is not as great as it is made out to be."
There could be a double whammy. Developing countries will start seeing the same cancers that Westernized countries are seeing, but they won't have the same access to state-of-the-art health care. "There will be a peak in cancers and more deaths due to differences in health care."
Leslie Bernstein, PhD, has seen this shift coming. She is an epidemiologist at the City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif.
"As we control those cancers which are related to infection like liver cancer and stomach cancer, we are going to see more cancers that are environmentally caused, meaning that they are related to lack of physical activity, obesity, smoking, and things like that," she says.
"These cancers take over as countries become more and more Westernized."

Many say that success in business and life often is a matter of
timing. In the case of
Y Combinator
and its recently completed
Startup School, I would have to concur
completely. As Michael Mandel, Chief Economist for
BusinessWeek, shared during his presentation at
Startup School, most economies can be defined by four words: "Boom, Bust, Boom, Bust".
He also said that he believes the Internet is entering a new Boom cycle.
Y Combinator is a new kind of venture firm specializing in funding
early stage startups. The company funds startups in batches instead of taking
the usual approach of funding startups individually. Startup School is Y
Combinator's initiative to help more potential entrepreneurs understand the
process of moving from an idea to a company.
Recently, Y Combinator finished work with its first batch of startups from the
Founders Program. A group of eight companies started this program back in May
2005. Paul Graham, the founder of ViaWeb, which sold to
Yahoo in 1998, author of Hackers and Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer
Age and a partner in Y Combinator, said, "if I had to guess now, I'd predict three or four of the
eight startups we funded will make it".
According to the final report of the
Group on Venture Capital, a joint effort between the Department
of Commerce and the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry,
there is a fundamental failure in the provision of early-stage financing
for startups in both the US and the EU. So it would seem that Y Combinator and the
Startup School are timed well to fill a clear need. As many of the
speakers at Startup School would agree, filling a clear need is key
to the success of any startup.
As a participant in Startup School, it was amazing to witness approximately 500 aspiring
entrepreneurs gathered for this program. Demand to participate was even more
impressive. I heard from Jessica Livingston, a partner with Y Combinator,
that over 700 people applied. The school was held on the campus of
Harvard University in Hall B of the Science Center.
Although the school was held at the tail end of a week-long autumn rain
spell, October 15, there seemed to be few no shows--and with good reason.
Startup School featured a first rate line-up of experts on the topic of
starting technology companies. In addition, the speakers included representatives
from both Yahoo and Google.
For many, the highlight of the line-up was a presentation by
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple
Computer. Steve delivered a presentation full of energy and insights into
an historical era of the computer industry. He poignantly stated what many
of the speakers pointed out when talking about innovating: "To me, goodness is having
the fewest parts." In other words, keep it simple.
According to Livingston, the list of speakers invited originally
consisted of people that spoke to the participants of the original Summer
Founder's Program. Additional speakers were added to fill in gaps to
ensure that participants heard about all of the aspects Y Combinator
feels are important to know when starting new companies.
Startup School actually was Paul Graham's idea, and it came about even before the first Summer Founders
Program. Livingston recalled that Paul approached her about doing the
Startup School. Along the way, the Summer Founders Program emerged as a
result of their development of Paul's original idea. Following
the success of the original batch of startups, though, they still felt strongly
about trying to help more potential entrepreneurs, especially for
free. Ultimately, Y Combinator felt the best way to help was to
educate people. Essentially their observations are that many of the
people Y Combinator talks with are brilliant but generally are
terrified by the concept of forming a business. This was confirmed
by one of the Summer Founders. In the concluding session of the Startup
School, which included some of the original Summer Founders, Aaron Swartz
shared that when he was explaining his plans for the summer, he did not
tell people that he was going to be working on starting a company. He
would tell people only that he would be working for a company, because
it seemed so absurd to think he was starting a company.
In summary, Y Combinator's Startup School included a stellar group of
startup experts and a lot of concise, easy-to-use startup advice. I'm
sure that many of the attendees left with a new perspective on starting a
company. Another idea that was repeated by more than one speaker was to follow
your passion. By merely attending Startup School, I believe that many in
attendance are on their way to doing exactly that. I met people from Canada, Mexico,
Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Atlanta, and I'm sure many
other places even farther away from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Traveling
thousands of miles with your own money to hear about starting a company
seems like a great definition of passion, don't you think? I'm convinced
that many future startups will emerge from this first class of Startup
School attendees. I'm also convinced that many of them will apply for the
Winter Founders
Program, although they should hurry. The October 25th deadline is
approaching quickly.
Boys only
Look at the photo, do you see any girls? Is because of IT or because women don't want to start a company?
We need female entrepreneurs so schools like these must try harder to attract girls.
Women in IT
It is not for schools to recruit females. It is for females to enroll in schools. Why are there so few women in IT? Ask also why there are so few female pilots. It's no longer a Boys Club barrier. Women just don't seem interested.
Vibrant Media IntelliTXT?
Since when did LJ start incorporating IntelliTXT ( double underline links that are advertisements ) in their articles? It's to the point now where advertising isn't good enough around the sides, top, and bottom of articles, but now I have to endure them in between sentences? I realize advertising dollars are what make publications like this possible, but jeez, where do we draw the line? I guess I'll just have to wait for my old-fashioned hard paper copy of Linux Journal to arrive in the mail.
Too easy to block intellitxt

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Microsoft will acquire Skype for $8.5 billion in a move that is the biggest acquisition of the company's history.
"Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, though, sees the Internet as an essential battleground for Microsoft, a company that still makes the vast bulk of its profits from Windows and Office software systems. Investors have become increasingly concerned about Microsoft's ability to squeeze continued growth out of those businesses, as rival technologies from Apple Inc., Google and others put more pressure on profits," the Wall Street Journal reported.
As Microsoft pushes into cloud technology, Skype will be a valuable tool. As the WSJ noted, Microsoft has not had a major brand purchase in some time and Skype, which was founded in 2003, is a major name in the online space with its VOIP services.
GigaOM first broke the story and confirmed the deal has been done, adding that Facebook may be the biggest benefactor of the deal.
"The biggest winner of this deal could actually be Facebook. The Palo Alto-based social networking giant had little or no chance of buying Skype. Had it been public, it would have been a different story. With Microsoft, it gets the best of both worlds — it gets access to Skype assets (Microsoft is an investor in Facebook) and it gets to keep Skype away from Google.
Facebook needs Skype badly. Among other things, it needs to use Skype's peer-to-peer network to offer video and voice services to the users of Facebook Chat. If the company had to use conventional methods and offer voice and video service to its 600 million plus customers, the cost and overhead of operating the infrastructure would be prohibitive.
Facebook can also help Skype get more customers for its SkypeOut service, and it can have folks use Facebook Credits to pay for Skype minutes. Skype and Facebook are working on a joint announcement and you can expect it shortly."
How this all plays out will be worth watching.

The aim of this paper is to achieve seamless image stitching without producing visual artifact caused by severe intensity discrepancy and structure misalignment, given that the input images are roughly aligned or globally registered. Our new approach is based on structure deformation and propagation for achieving the overall consistency in image structure and intensity. The new stitching algorithm, which has found applications in image compositing, image blending, and intensity correction, consists of the following main processes. Depending on the compatibility and distinctiveness of the 2D features detected in the image plane, single or double optimal partitions are computed subject to the constraints of intensity coherence and structure continuity. Afterwards, specific 1D features are detected along the computed optimal partitions from which a set of sparse deformation vectors is derived to encode 1D feature matching between the partitions. These sparse deformation cues are robustly propagated into the input images by solving the associated minimization problem in gradient domain, thus providing a uniform framework for the simultaneous alignment of image structure and intensity. We present results in general image compositing and blending in order to show the effectiveness of our method in producing seamless stitching results from complex input images.

Vikings - US Release With Uncensored Episodes
The American History Channel produced its first real series and it has become an instant success. Vikings was liked so much by the audience that a second season is greenlit.
Since the series airs on basic cable, the episodes couldn't deliver the goods that pay tv formats bring to the table. But these goods do exist, as we could report earlier. The French airing came to our attention as it shows a nudity scene whereas the US version is more harmless.
And this more generous version of the series will find its way on the US Blu-ray in October 2013. Fox Home Entertainment announces the 9 episodes of the season as having extended and alternate scenes. The DVD doesn't have this hint. We'll see whether the Blu-ray is the better deal here. You can order it at Amazon.com.

Open knowledge
Open knowledge is knowledge that one is free to use, reuse, and redistribute without legal, social or technological restriction.[1] Open knowledge is a set of principles and methodologies related to the production and distribution of knowledge works in an open manner. Knowledge is interpreted broadly to include data, content and general information.
The concept is related to open source and the Open Knowledge Definition is directly derived from the Open Source Definition. Open knowledge can be seen as being a superset of open data, open content and libre open access with the aim of highlighting the commonalities between these different groups.
Early history[edit]
Similarly to other 'open' concepts such as open data and open content, though the term is rather new, the concept is old. For example, one of the earliest printed texts of which we have record is a copy of the Buddhist Diamond sutra produced in China around 868 AD, and in it can be found the dedication: "for universal free distribution".[2]
Twentieth century[edit]
In the early twentieth century a debate about intellectual property rights developed within the German Social Democratic Party. A key contributor was Karl Kautsky who in 1902 devoted a section of a pamphlet to "Intellectual Production" which he distinguished from material production:
- "Communism in material production, anarchy in the intellectual that is the type of a Socialist mode of production,as it will develop from the rule of the proletariat—in other words, from the Social Revolution through the logic of economic facts, whatever might be: the wishes, intentions, and theories of the proletariat."[3]:40
This view was based on an analysis according to which Karl Marx's Law of value only affected material production, not intellectual production.

First, we've stayed here several times and always pleased. We spend this past week in 317 which was impeccably clean...no dirt build up in corners of bathroom, no stains on carpet, no smelly odors, and no dusty surfaces! Impressive! Looked like the room had gone through a recent update: flat screen, single serve coffee, microwave, refrigerator, new tube and shower faucets and heads. Not even a single spot needing paint (I did see their maintenance person with the 3 or 4 paint colors one morning which I assume he goes through each room touching up). Again Impressive! Everything worked, the beds were ok (about 7 on a 10 scale), bedding was clean and neatly made each day. Wifi worked great...no weak days or dead times so assume they have updated this as well since the Hotel filled up each night which puts a strain on systems with few access points. Could even watch Amason movies and MLB.com...stayed as some high end Hotels which block movie and live broadcast streaming. Breakfast starts at 6. Typical cereal, boiled eggs, milk, coffee, oj, apple juice, pastries, packages of oatmeal, jelly, peanut butter packets (don't find that often), and make-your-own waffels. But they also had pre-packaged French toast that was great! Secret: put in microwave for 30 seconds....not in toaster. Heck, we took a package to our room for an evening snack:-)
Now for the cons: 1. If you sleep light, consider another Hotel because an ACTIVE TRAIN runs about 20 yards from the back of the hotel. Train whistle at least 2 times each night. I sleep hard and it even startled me out of my sleep one night, but went right back to sleep. So, get a room on the front side. However comments about the train are even in Quality Inns' review...Quality Inn is directly across the street from Days Inn. 2. Days is DOG friendly so expect dogs to bark sometime during your stay. Management stated they DO NOT have "not pet allowed" rooms. Therefore pets may be assigned to any room. However, the staff will conduct a 30 day review to assign one a room that has not had a dog or cat in it for the last 30 days. Ask for Patrick, he is great!!! There is a $10 pet fee which covers the additional cost of cleaning rooms following a pet stay. If you have a dog or cat or are not allergic to dogs or cats, we have had no problems with odors or flees so they must be doing something right.
3. Breakfast area small so expect to wait on a table for a few minutes...well if the breakfast were awful there would be no crowd so they must be doing something right.
Final word:
Patrick was a big help so ask for him...I got bad information from another staff member.
Patrick is the honest man you can trust to give you the best stay possible.
We had a great stay and will stay here again. Thanks to all for keeping the Inn clean.

Last week we received this email from an 8th grade student attending an international school in Asia
"I am writing a report on responses to the challenges of HIV/AIDS in Cambodia. I would like to ask one question, Of all the HIV/AIDS project how do you determine if your projects are successful and do you think that you have achieved what you set out to achieve?"
The text below is taken from our reply the student:
1) When we first started our AIDS Patients Family Support Program in 2000,
I feel confident in saying that we fully met that goal as we were able to provide adequate food support and modest housing for all of our women - most of whom had been homeless when they first entered our program.
2) After housing and food support, our "original" next most important goal for the program was
I can definitely confirm that we have met that goal as nearly all of the children in our program did enroll in school and most of them surpassed the grade level (approximately grade 6 or 7) at which poor children in Phnom Penh typically drop out of school.
Last year, for the first time, some of our students completed grade 12 and passed the rigorous examination required to receive a high school graduation certificate in Cambodia. This is a remarkable achievement for children who had formerly been homeless and destitute. Three of our FSP students are currently attending universities in Phnom Penh with sponsorship provided by our program.
This is a remarkable achievement for Cambodian children from such disadvantaged backgrounds.
3) About ten years ago the free antiretroviral medicines,provided by the U.N.'s Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria dramatically came to Camboia and increased the life expectancies of our patients.
Now, instead of fighting to keep mom's alive, our energy is to help their children succeed in school. This is a constant challenge because many of our children, having spent part of their young lives homeless and living on the streets, lack an understanding of the role which education can play in their lives. Their mothers - with some exceptions - are largely uneducated women, many of whom cannot even write their own names.Instilling in our children an appreciation for the importance of education is a constant challenge.
Despite our best efforts, we do not and cannot succeed with every child. However, most of our children are attending school and a many of them have excelled, often reaching a class ranking in the top five students in classes which typically include 40 to 50 students.
Here again, the results speak for themselves and I am confident to say that most of our kids have achieved education milestones which would have been unthinkable without the intervention of our program.
.... the work which we do brings many frustrations and disappointments but we never doubt the overall success of our efforts and the impact which those efforts continue to have toward improving the lives and future prospects of some of Cambodia's poorest and most disenfranchised people suffering from AIDS.
If you have any other questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact us.

Back to School Days at the FSP
September 2012
Mark is on his way to Cambodia tomorrow. It is "Back to School" time for the kids in the FSP. This Fall, 88 students from our FSP will return to school at the end of September . We have a record number of students in High School this year: 19 students in grades 9 ~ 12. This is wonderful! It is rare even for middle class Cambodian students to complete high school, yet we have 5 students from FSP's fragile families who are Seniors this year, on track to graduate in 2013.
I would like to introduce you to one of our High School students, Reaksmey ( pronounced res may ) . Reaksmey is 21 and she is on track to graduate in 2013. You might want to ask me what is so great about a 21 year old High School Senior??? Please, let me tell you Reaksmey's story.
About Reaksmey- an 8 year journey to success in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
About 8 years ago, when Reaksmey was 13 , she, along with sister Melia age 5, brothers age 15 and 11 and their mother joined our FSP program. A single mother, Pich Srey Mom , had AIDS and had no money to feed her 4 kids.
The situation was dire. They lived in a little 2 room shack made of scrap wood which was shared by an uncle who was dying of AIDS. We gave Mother money for food and we paid school fees. After Uncle died, Mother became very sick, so Mother and her 4 kids moved in with an Aunt's family. About 4 years ago, Mother had a severe stroke, leaving her paralyzed on one side. Aunt's family could not care for her, so Mother went to live at the Home of Peace AIDS Hospice.
Although a good student, Reaksmey had to drop out of High School to care for young sister Melia. The 4 children continued to live at Aunt's home. We paid for food for the kids and for Melia's school costs. Elder brother soon left - he got a job working on a farm. Shortly after this, Aunt's husband told the girls to move out. Middle brother could stay if he earned his room and board in Uncle's tiny metal working shop.
Kasumisou Foundation Family Support Progam ( FSP) stepped in. We rent a small room for the two girls. The two girls' entire possessions fill just a single laundry size basket. We pay for food , utilities and school fees. We provide active supervision from our Home Care Team. Reaksmey returned to high school! She is an honors student, consistently in the top 5 students in her class. She is also studying English. Reaksmey will graduate from High School in 2013! Younger sister, Melia is now 13 and also in school .
Reaksmey is grateful for all that she has. She "gives back" by working 2 to 3 half days per week as a volunteer for Kasumisou Foundation at the Phnom Penh Municipal Orphanage in the Malnutrition, Therapy and Play room where the most medically fragile children live. She holds, comforts, feeds and plays with the children, some of whom are bed bound and severely handicapped.
Now, age 21, Reaksmey's dream is to attend college.
It's been quite a journey for Reaksmey: from a wooden shack to honors student with a dream of college in just 8 years!
The Family Support Program's long term approach works.
Family Support Program efforts go far beyond providing simple food and shelter. The FSP's goal is to lift these kids out of poverty through education and social guidance, one life at a time. Your support, your commitment, is what makes this possible. With your help, we can help Reaksmey and others like her , to achieve their dreams.
Our annual budget for the FSP which serves 75 families and 125 dependent children is about $ 110,000 this year and it is challenging to raise these funds year upon year. We are grateful for donations of all sizes. It all makes a difference.
Thank you for your continued commitment. Your generous support is what makes all of this possible.
With gratitude,
Barbara and Mark Rosasco

Behind the scenes at Kasumisou Foundation : How a school service idea gave birth to a project
Summer 2011 saw our first ever joint service effort. Our service team partners were 17 Junior and Senior students from Seisen International School in Tokyo, Japan. We first reported on this in our September 2011 update.
Seisen International School
In June 2011, Mark, organized and facilitated a team of 17 students and 2 Seisen teachers for a 10 day volunteer service program at the Phnom Penh Municipal Orphanage and the Home of Peace AIDS in Phnom Penh. The Seisen Service Team, paid their own way. Their service work was to provide companionship and individual attention to permanently warded children, with mornings spent at the Home of Peace AIDS hospice ( HOP) and afternoons at the Municipal Orphanage ( MO)
On the first day, several Seisen students bravely held back tears as they came to understand the medical reality of the fragile children with whom they would be working. Many of the children at the MO are extremely limited in their mental and physical abilities. All of the children suffer from some type of serious affliction or disability. Some of the children are permanently confined to bed. Due to inadequate funding, these kids often receive little attention beyond the basic custodial care of a diaper change and food. Overworked and understaffed, Staff work burdens do not include time for cuddling and holding. The Seisen Service Team provided a rare treat for these kids to have the individual attention of holding, rocking, or singing that our own children so easily take for granted. Other children at the Home of Peace hospice and the more mobile children at the Orphanage greatly enjoyed a chance for personalized attention, small crafts activities and games.
In May 2011, the European NGO that had provided much of the funding support for Municipal Orphanage said that they must end their support after 10 years to their own funding challenges, leaving dire gaps in funding for essential services for the children at the Orphanage.
Although Kasumisou Foundation continues have its own serious funding challenges, operating its programs on month to month budgets. However, the dire funding needs for the most fragile children at Orphanage, caused Kasumisou Foundation to take on the task of providing supplemental support to the Orphanage. We could already see from the success of our Seisen Service Team that we could make a meaningful difference. We decided to add the " Malnutrition Room " room at the Orphanage, which is home to the most medically fragile children who require specialized support for their survival, to our FSP project budget.
While immensely satisfying, this addition to our program roster is also heartrending: we have lost three of these fragile children in the past 6 months.
Our New Project
Our support for the Orphanage includes assuming the salary responsibilities of the two full time staffers who man the Malnutrition Room 24/7. Additionally , we feel that human touch and kindness is an essential part of the care of all children, so we have recruited 3 of our older teenagers from own FSP families. These young women volunteer ½ day of their time 3 to 4 days per week working to play and provide comfort through physical contact to the children. Our young volunteers also serve as helpers with diaper changing and feeding for these and other children at the Orphanage. We pay their transportation costs.
There are currently about 115 children at the Orphanage: 1/3 have AIDS, the remaining children sufferfrom serious medical conditions including Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome and a variety of severe birth defects. Many of these children are bedbound and are not able to feed themselves. Particularly for children with severe CP, feeding can take considerable time. The total cost of the support of the " Malnutrition Room " program assistance is $ 6,000 to $ 7,000 per year.
Our Service Team Results
The students and teachers who were on the Seisen Service Team returned to school in the fall, eager to tell about their experience in Cambodia. The enthusiasm of the entire team , both students teachers alike, created an amazing " Can do" attitude and a willingness to do their best at each and every task. It was the great success of the Seisen Service Team that inspired Kasumisou Foundation to take on the responsibility funding the Malnutrition Room at the Municipal Orphanage and to encourage our own Family Support teenagers to get involved and to give something back to children who are even less fortunate than themselves.
Our sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone at Seisen International School and the entire Service Team for a great joint project. We cannot think of a better way to start a Service Team program.
FSP in Action and Changing Lives
Mark returned this week from his quarterly trip to Cambodia where he met with almost all FSP program families and
conducted his standard line-item review of the AIDS Patient Family Support Program and other Kasumisou Foundation programs. The FSP continues without significant exception or change, maintaining a stable composition of 75 patient families and approximately 120 dependent children.
Its hard for us to explain to our supporters just how great it is to be able to report " no change". All of our patient families have already endured a great deal of individual and/or family trauma, so status condition reports of " no change" and " stable" are a welcome relief and change to patient families as the trauma that so often impacts the very poor can cause violent shifts in the flow of daily life.
In this quarterly report, we would like to share the story of one of "our" kids in the Family Support program to show you how the FSP, bit by bit, really can change young lives. For privacy, we will refer to our young lady as " Kay". Here is Kay's family history as best we can piece it together.
Kay's Story....
Kay is one of three children and she is from the outskirts of a "cross roads" town where two highways intersect in the countryside in the county of Kampong Cham. This town is about 2 1/2 hours away from Phnom Penh, the capital city, by car. Some years ago, Kay's mother and father both became extremely ill as a result of AIDS, causing them to lose everything and become extremely poor. At this time, with both parents gravely ill, and no means of support, Kay's mother gave away the older children. The location of those older children remains unknown. Kay's father died, leaving just Kay and her mother alone in the family and in desperate circumstances.
Kay's mother left Kampong Cham and , together with Kay, catching rides as best they could, traveled to Phnom Penh to try to seek medical treatment. Kay, now 14 years old, came to us 6 years ago when her mother, homeless and gravely ill from AIDS joined the FSP. Within a few months, Kay's mother died in the charity ward at the Russian Hospital in Phnom Penh, leaving Kay all but an orphan. We learned that Kay's grandmother, a widow who had lost her husband to a brutal death at the hands of the Khmer Rouge during the Civil War years, was still living in Kampong Cham. In recent years, Kay's grandmother had lived in extreme poverty, surving only on the kindness of neighbors.
We made arrangements for Kay to return to Kampong Cham to live with her grandmother. Extremely poor and with failing eyesight, Grandmother could not, on her own, afford to take care of or provide medical care for Kay.
Kasumisou Foundation's FSP stepped in and developed a practical low cost plan to enable this tiny family of grandmother and grand-daughter to stay together. A kindly neighbor in Kampong Cham allowed the FSP to build a house on their land: a tiny bamboo thatch house, with tin roof and dirt floor was built and became home. The house has a single room.
In the 6 years that Kay has been in the FSP, she has impressed us with her courage and ability. Kay, herself, has AIDS. Despite this, she has been the top student in her class for several years. Her current class in a government run school, is an 8th grade class which has 45 students. Kay is the top student in the class. Additionally, Kay studies English in a group class of 12 students (her class fee sponsored by Kasumisou Foundation) where she is also the top student. Over the years, Kay's grandmother's severe cataracts have made her nearly blind. Kay, at age 14, takes care of her 85 year old grandmother and keeps the household going in the little one room house. Kay is an honors student in school, top in her class, attends English class and she also works part time in a market stall to bring in money to the family. In frail health, Kay's grandmother will soon turn 86. Grandmother has requested that Kay become a ward of Kasumisou Foundation should the grandmother pass away.
The FSP brings Kay to Phnom Penh once per month by rural taxi ( $ 12) so that her illness ( AIDS) can be monitored and managed. To date, she has remained in good health and has bright hopes for the future. It is interesting to know that a rural taxi is nothing more than a flat trailer pulled by a motorcycle, or it might also be an opened pick up truck and once in a while an overcrowded van. The trip is about 2 1/2 hours each way.
The long term approach of " family support" by Kasumisou Foundation makes it possible for Kay to pursue her dream to become a teacher of Khmer ( Cambodian) literature and English.
We hope that this project report will give you a better idea of some of the many ways that the Kasumisou Foundation AIDS Patient Family Support Program ( FSP) works to help needy families in crisis and to help the children of those families work to break the cycle of inherited poverty.
We are deeply grateful to you all for your generous support.

Jacqueline Lee is an InTheField Traveler with GlobalGiving who is visiting our partners' projects throughout Southeast Asia. Her "Postcard" from the visit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia:
My day began bright and early with Juana – the local staff of the Family Support Program for Kasumisou Foundation. On 20 January 2012, I would be visiting several families benefitting from Kasumisou's Family Support Program (those affected by HIV).
The first family lived in a Buddhist Temple Pagoda. This family consisted of a young boy affected by HIV and his grandmother who took care of him after his mother passed away due to the virus. I asked her what her life was like before she was taken in by the Kasumisou Foundation – she had been a beggar. Homeless and penniless she took in her grandson after his mother passed and was desperate because he was dying. At a local church they were introduced to Juana and the Kasumisou Foundation, and they were given a small stipend to pay for rent, for food, and education for the young boy. The conditions were she had to stop begging. When I met this family I would have NEVER imagine what they had gone through. She was proud of her grandson's studies, smiling, and welcoming. I asked what hope she had for her grandson in the future, and she said "for him to finish his studies and become a professional". He responded he hoped the same and loved working with electronics and electricity. His favorite subject was math. She now has a home, electricity, and with therapy the boy has lived to the age of 15. She sells snacks and candy to the local community.
The next home visit consisted of two young girls who lost their mother due to HIV, so were adopted by their mother's friend. One wanted to be a doctor "to help (listing everyone in her adopted family, Juana, the Kasumisou staff, and sponsorship family who is paying for her education) for free of charge" and the younger one followed with wanting to be a nurse "to help all of Cambodia". One loved to read and the other draw. Her favorite thing to draw was.. Angry Birds! I was astonished and had to see the drawings - they were amazing. I told them how kids in the US also loved Angry Birds, and at the end of the visit she gave me 2 of her prized drawings. They practiced their english with me, and showed me some of the dance and song they learned at the Apsara Arts program. These were two beautiful and educated young girls with hopes and dreams. I asked Juana what was the likelihood of them receiving education to become doctors, and she said the hope of Cambodia is for youth to graduate 6th grade, if possible 9th (14 years old), and if they are very talented and have the funding then 12th. It is very difficult to attain vocational or university training here. That did not stop these girls from reaching for the stars. I found out after that the eldest of the 2 girls also had HIV.
The final few families ingrained in me the strength of the human spirit. Sampao had been ostracized by her family when her husband died since she had HIV and separated from her children. She was on her deathbed when Kasumisou took her in and instead of accompanying her to die with dignity, Juana was able to "accompany her to life". When she never expected to live now she travels with Juana home-visiting other families affected with HIV spreading experience and support. The next family was a mother and son both affected. All you could see was their joy and strength – she was able to work since she received therapy and he was a naturally gifted artist. The boy was self taught in drawing and painting with beautiful elaborate pictures of whatever he could get his hands on. The final family's mother had been blinded by the disease and was supporting her 2 young boys. Kasumisou provided her the opportunity to not have to turn to brothels to make money, but supporting her children through school and allowing her to focus on them.
My overall impression was that this organization was well-run by a small number of local highly trained and skilled staff that work on the ground and report to the 2 founders. The founders visits every few months with not only staff but every project as a whole. It was wonderful to experience how those involved did not differentiate by age, race, or religion (some beneficiaries were Buddhist, some Christain, some attended all temples to receive support and "live long lives") – it was about providing lives with dignity and breaking the cycles of poverty for future Cambodian generations. Currently, they work with 70 families, 180 children within these families, 4 youth in university, and 3 receiving higher studies/vocational training. Hopefully, the rest of the children will have the opportunity to attain all of their hopes and dreams… and maybe even finish university.

BAGHDAD Talks on an alliance between Iraq's two main Shi'ite Muslim blocs to form the next government appear to be nearing a conclusion, with the main sticking point being how to nominate a prime minister, officials said.
A hotly contested but inconclusive general election on March 7 brought Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's State of Law coalition 89 seats, two behind the cross-sectarian Iraqiya coalition headed by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.
The results must still be certified.
Allawi's group won broad backing from minority Sunnis who dominated Iraq under Saddam Hussein and whose resentment at their loss of influence helped fuel a violent insurgency and years of sectarian warfare after the 2003 U.S. invasion.
A Shi'ite alliance that deprived Allawi's supporters of a say in picking the next prime minister could reignite Sunni frustrations, just as Iraq emerges from the worst of the bloodshed and strikes multibillion-dollar deals with oil firms that could turn it into a top crude producer.
Maliki's State of Law alliance has been in merger talks with the other main Shi'ite grouping, the Iran-friendly Iraqi National Alliance (INA), which gained 70 seats. Together, the two could have a working majority in the 325-seat parliament.
"I think we are in the final stages of putting together the last touches before announcing this alliance," said Ali al-Adeeb, a close ally of Maliki. "I think within the next few days, we will announce this alliance."
But the party of anti-U.S. cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, which accounts for about 40 of INA's seats, has made it clear it does not want Maliki reappointed. Maliki sent Iraqi troops backed by U.S. firepower to crush Sadr's paramilitary Mehdi Army in 2008. Sadrist opposition has dimmed Maliki's chances of a second term.
The prospect of lengthy government-forming talks has been overshadowed by the threat of attacks from a stubborn Sunni Islamist insurgency that continues to kill dozens each month in suicide bombings and shootings.
Protracted coalition talks after the last election in December 2005 allowed the sectarian civil war to take hold.
While the question of who will be prime minister was still up in the air, the INA and State of Law have moved close enough that representatives say a deal could come within days.
"In principle we ... have agreed on forming one coalition," Amar Tuma, a lawmaker from Fadhila, a party in the INA.
Tuma said a committee has been formed with equal representation from both State of Law and INA to "settle all disputes" and create a mechanism to select a prime minister.
Khalid al-Asadi, a State of Law leader, said Maliki remained its pick for prime minister, but a compromise was possible.
"An agreement could be made on Maliki himself or it could be on another candidate," Asadi said. "We ... will not impose on others the prime minister we nominate."
The next government will have its work cut out.
Iraq needs massive investment to rebuild infrastructure shattered by decades of war, sanctions and underinvestment.
Sadrists were more non-committal about prospects for a deal.
Talks were taking place "to create an initial understanding in preparation to form the cornerstone of a partnership government," said one of them, Qusay al-Suhail.
A lawmaker from Iraq's Kurdish minority, which could play a kingmaker role, said a Shi'ite alliance would speed the formation of a government.
"They were one bloc in the 2005 election. So merging together is possible," said Muhsin al-Sadoun.
Yahya al-Kubaisy, a researcher at the Iraq Institute for Strategic Studies, said the Shi'ite groups were moving toward a deal because they could not countenance the post of prime minister going to a non-Shi'ite.
"I don't think the Shi'ites are willing to lose the post of PM to another bloc," he said. "They are aware that there is no way to do that but to form an alliance."
