Prepare to transform alot of baby diapers!
Your package of joy will certainly require about 6000 nappy changes before graduating to underwears. That's a lot of dirty nappies as well as, depending on which ones you make use of, either a lot of waste or a lot of washing!
There's the poo aspect– that nappy has got ta be up to the task. The important things we provide for love.
A stitch in time conserves nine … mins of rest
Getting a nappy plan in position prior to infant occurs will certainly conserve you time, money and energy, and also will have a big impact on your environmental impact. Having stated that, it's never too late to change nappy groups or blend it up a little bit relying on your worry for the atmosphere versus your concern for your peace of mind … and also your demand for sleep.
Allow's obtain to know nappies.
Good ol' disposables. With actually only one style, they soak up dampness swiftly to stop leakages and 'lock it in' to maintain your bub fairly dry; are easy and also fast to secure; stay closed throughout use; and also fit various shapes and sizes. And also they're really hassle-free, especially when out as well as about– specifically so because they're available in every supermarket and convenience store. They don't call them convenience stores for no reason!
Recyclable contemporary fabric nappies
Modern cloth nappies (MCNs) are becoming extra preferred as well as, to be clear, we're not talking the old terry-towelling squares. MCNs are the brand-new whiz-bang variation showcasing a water-resistant cover, leak-proof elasticised leg openings as well as absorbing padding as well as liner.
The various designs
There are greater than 200 brand names– the majority of which are made by work-at-home mums that market them online on stores like Etsy.
All-in-ones have a moisture-resistant external layer stitched with an absorptive inner to form the nappy– they can take a little while to dry.
All-in-twos, likewise called snap-in-ones, include a lined waterproof outer layer and absorbing inner layers, which "snap in" with press studs. They could be taken apart for laundering, so they dry out faster than all-in-ones.
Pocket nappies have a waterproof outer layer sewn together with a soft inner lining, which forms the shell. In between these two layers there's a pocket for the absorptive inserts. These are gotten rid of for washing after that changed, which can be a bit fiddly yet on the bonus side they dry out promptly.
Old-fashioned terry-towelling square nappies are additionally still offered. They could take a little method to fold up as well as fit right, but they are a more affordable multiple-use choice than MCNs, and also modern-day fasteners suggest you don't also should utilize safety and security pins.
I can see there are benefits to both– just how do I select in Pukalani Hawaii?
There are a variety of considerations, so allow's have a look at them.
The in advance expense of multiple-use nappies is fairly high, yet in the long run it's possibly cheaper compared to disposables– reducing in price tremendously with every child.
Fabric nappies do need a little bit more job, as well as might be a pain when you're out. Similar to a worn out bub.
Top quality, well-fitting nappies– whether towel or disposable– will maintain child completely dry, as well as won't create nappy breakout.
Environmental influence
Disposable nappies really don't have the very best environment-friendly track record, however there are alternatives to minimize their influence:
Some brands are naturally degradable, though problems in landfill make this destruction hard to occur.
Some have compostable or recyclable product packaging.
Purchasing locally-made nappies, as opposed to imported, saves money on transportation carbon cost.
Despite the environmental prices of material production as well as nappy laundering, towel nappies that are dry-pailed as well as mainly line-dried still come out in advance of disposables.
Disposables are available in various sizes to suit your growing bundle-that's- now-turning-into-a-handful, and also at some point you can removal right into pull-up trousers from a few of the same brand names.
MCNs are offered in taken care of sizes, or a one-size-fits-most (OSFM), which has added attachments for changing the nappy as your baby grows.
Fixed-size nappies suggests acquiring new sets as your infant expands larger, so it might set you back even more. On the other hand, if you're having more than one kid, you'll utilize the grown out of ones again.
You'll only need one collection of OSFM nappies, however their longer usage implies even more damage, and also they could only last via one child's early stage.
Diaper Products
The kind of textile utilized impacts drying time. All-natural fibers normally take longer to completely dry compared to synthetics, and you'll wish to make certain you have enough nappies to get through a few days of wet weather if you do not have a dryer.
Paper or textile nappy liners make your washing life easier by maintaining solids off the nappy. Flushable ones make clean-up a cinch!
The absorptive products (covering linings, pads as well as boosters) consist of bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece, with breathable polyurethane laminated material (PUL) or lanolised woollen often made use of for covers– if you're interested in that sort of point.
I desire a judgment– which nappy is finest?
For ecological and economic reasons, you cannot pass by MCNs.
For ease-of-use and ease, disposables are the means to go.
Certainly it does not have to be one or the various other: you might use fabric nappies in your home throughout the day, as well as disposables when out as well as around, disappearing, in the evening, at day care, and during long periods of rainfall when you 'd rather not utilize the clothes dryer.
If you're uncertain:
Buy a single nappy of each type that stimulates your interest.
Some MCN business offer test loads with samples of the different designs.
Work with a test pack from a nappy library, a solution supplied by nappy firms and community groups: search the net for 'modern cloth nappy collection' to locate one near you.
How do I recognize I've chosen the ideal nappy?
Whatever you've picked, below's the checklist for a good nappy:
No leaking around the legs.
No fluid seeping via the cover.
Not too tight or as well loose around hips and legs.
No rubbing or chafing from the nappy or fasteners around the legs or hips.
Baby's skin really feels reasonably dry when the wet nappy is eliminated.
The nappy holds enough liquid to be practical (ie you do not have to alter frequently).
Infant can removal legs openly as well as, at later phases, crawl as well as walk without being bothered by the nappy.
One last thing, are reusable nappies as much grunt work as they seem?
There's a simple five-step strategy called completely dry pailing, which fans claim make easy work of hefty dirts.
To start with, make use of flushable linings to catch solids.
Separate the components (cover and also cushioning) of the wet nappies, or if they're all-in-ones avoid in advance to tip 3.
Rinse in cold water if required.
Place them into a pail with a lid.
Throw the tons into the washering each day.
With any luck you currently have a pleased, dry baby and also the only thing you need to worry about is exactly how you'll find time to Instagram every moment!

Turning Cows into Ideas
Roger Scruton, philosopher & farmer, tells us how to make farms profitable even if no one buys a thing:
Very few farms are profitable, and ours exists more…as a rural consultancy and ideas factory. Our neighbors turn grass into milk and make a loss; we turn grass into ideas and make a profit. We keep horses of our own, which we look after, and allow our neighbors to use the pasture for their cows: cows too, viewed from the window, can easily be made into ideas. We also keep chickens, and occasionally pigs, which we turn into sausages, after their brief time as ideas.
Aging, Individualism, and Our Middle-Class Dreams
Peter Augustine Lawler, ethicist and critic, tells us how caring for the old competes with our work-a-day society's love of freedom and laboring:
Surely there is little worse than to have Alzheimer's and be alone…Yet the currents of our time push us almost inescapably in this lonely direction. Lives moved by a veneration of independence threaten to leave us unprepared for depending and being depended upon, and so actually to increase the burdens of long-term care for the dependent in our society. The inability to think clearly about the basic human need of caregiving—and so the inability to provide effectively for it—may be the price paid for all the undeniable and wonderful technological success that characterizes our time.

Appeals Court of Massachusetts, Suffolk
December 11, 2014
Ronald P. Passatempo, trustee, [1] & others [2]v.Frederick V. McMenimen, Third, & others. [3]
Argued September 16, 2014.
Civil action commenced in the Superior Court Department on July 1, 2004.
Following review by the Supreme Judicial Court, 461 Mass. 279 (2012), the case was tried before Thomas P. Billings, J.; a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, alternatively, for a new trial was heard by him; and a motion for attorney's fees and costs was heard by him.
Final judgment entered April 5, 2013, affirmed.
Page 743
Douglas Hallward-Driemeier for Nationwide Life Insurance Company of America & others.
Charles M. Waters for the plaintiffs.
Present: Kantrowitz, Grainger, & Hanlon, JJ.
[20 N.E.3d 975] Grainger, J.
This case, boasting a lineage of more than a decade in numerous courts,[4] is now before us on appeal from a judgment holding the Nationwide defendants (collectively, Nationwide) liable to the plaintiffs on their G. L. c. 93A (c. 93A) claim. Nationwide argues error in the denial of its posttrial motion seeking to set aside the verdict or obtain a new trial and in the judge's award of attorney's fees and costs to the plaintiffs. G. L. c. 93A, § 9(4).[5]
The underlying dispute involves misrepresentations and fraud by which Frederick V. McMenimen, III, induced Samuel Pietropaolo, Sr. (Pietropaolo), to relinquish certain life insurance policies and purchase others, and is recounted in detail in Passatempo
v. McMenimen, [20 N.E.3d 976] 461 Mass. 279, 281-285, 960 N.E.2d 275 (2012) ( Passatempo I ). At the beginning of the narrative, McMenimen was employed by the insurance brokerage firm New England Advisory Group, LLC, a business owned and managed by Barry G. Armstrong. McMenimen thereafter worked as an in-house broker for Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company (Provident) and, after losing that position, became self-employed. Provident was acquired by Nationwide after McMenimen was discharged from his Provident in-house position. Past trials and appellate decisions have resolved claims of liability on the part of McMenimen, New England Advisory Group, LLC, and Armstrong. We are now asked to consider an appeal from the judgment finding Nationwide liable to the plaintiffs. We refer to additional undisputed factual history insofar as it bears on Nationwide's liability under theories of agency, corporate succession,[6] and tolling of the statute of

Regarding the health effects of homosexuality. It is absolutely not supported that homosexuals have a higher percentage of negative health issues than the heterosexuals. I have researched that subject far and wide. It has been determined that bi-sexual individuals have a higher health risk than "other" sexually active individuals simply based on the fact that this individual is needed to transmit any illnesses from the homosexual community to the heterosexual community. That is all that I can find that actually relates to this topic. There is no statistical information that I reference because the topic is truly that vague. It has been determined that bisexual individuals are directly responsible for the transmission of HIV to the heterosexual community, but I ask you, if an individual is sexually active, shouldn't that individual be responsible regarding whom he/she has sexual intercourse with? Further, if a drug addict is using dirty needles and the like in the attempt of self soothing shouldn't that individual be the factor in this equation since once again, that individual makes a educated reaction to a completely negative action.
There is absolutely no support that homosexual couples have higher domestic violent statistics, in fact quite the opposite is found. Through the partnered homosexuals in the limelight, ie. Ellen Degeneres, Neil Patrick Harris to name just a few, it is the complete opposite that prevails. These couples seem to thrive, in fact they seem to thrive for the long term. I reference http://www.buzzfeed.com.... Homosexual couples seem dedicated to continued commitment than any other type of "not normal" relationship that exists today, ie. mixed races, sugar daddy, or sugar mama. I, myself am very close to a homosexual partnership, one party of the couple came out of a heterosexual lifestyle after many years of denial and three children. The relationship shared between these two individuals has been nothing but noble. They share the various responsibilities in life, they demonstrate effective parenting, and they are never boisterous, even while in disagreement with each other. I have learned through my relationship with this couple what it looks like to be domestically blessed.

There is nothing like the start of a new season. It doesn't matter what the sport is. Each has its own unique sense, feel, sounds, and even smell. I have attended all the Colorado Avalanche training camps. The camps usually start the second week in September. I am often struck by the familiar attributes of hockey camp. I have always enjoyed the feeling of walking into the chilliness of the rink after being in the heat of the outside. There is something special about each year when I park my car and walk, basking in the summer sun, toward the door that leads into the building that hosts the camp. I love opening that door for several reasons. First is the blast of cold air that always hits me. Second are the sounds of hockey. The slap of the stick hitting the puck. The thwack of the puck hitting the boards or the glass. The crunching noise of players crashing into each other and ramming into the boards. I can stand in the lobby, hear those sounds and it brings a smile to my face.
Hockey training camps have their own smell. I am not talking about the horrific gunk stench from a bag of used hockey equipment. It just smells different from other sports. Football has the heat of summer mixed with grass and the player's equipment. Baseball has its wonderful spring air and the smell of leather gloves and wooden bats on a beautiful day. Hockey is different. It is a combination of cold, sweat, and anger.
The best part of training camp is always the unmitigated hope. Every season brings newness and the belief that maybe, just maybe it might be the year for a Stanley Cup. It is that contagious outlook that puts an extra spring in the step of everyone in the organization. All feel fresh and positive and believe that it could go their way and work out as they hoped. Rookies think they may play well enough to make the big team. Veterans are young again, and feel as if they can fly on the ice. Coaches and management believe that if everything goes according to plan there might be reason to have a parade route mapped out. That feeling permeates the building and I feel it when I walk in the first day of camp.
We all love a new beginning, perhaps a second chance. That is what hockey training camps are all about. I have always relished the chance to see a rising star emerging out of those early practices. There is the opportunity to watch a wily vet showing off his moves. There inevitably is the older player, coming from another team, hoping to make an impression and hang on for another season. All those sites bring comfortableness to attending another training camp. I enjoy talking to the fans wanting to discuss their favorite players and share with me their hope for a winning season.
No one likes to get old, we all want to stay young. Going to the Avalanche training camp each season makes me feel young again. The players might come and go and the people might change but the best part of training camp hockey remains the same. It is a time to feel excitement for the future and the wonder of what might be possible.

Look out for the Australian Rob McCreath, a farmer defending land and the environment, coming to Southland as the key note speaker at the 'Keep the Coal in the Hole Summer fest- Theme-' Shaping our Future. We have options!' with the festival running between Fri 18 Jan and Mon 21 January. 2013
He says he used to be quite a good farmer before he spent so much time fighting mining companies.
|Rob McCreath
Rob was founding president of Friends of Felton, a community group that recently won a four and half year long battle against a proposed open-cut coal mine and petrochemical plant in the highly productive Felton Valley, 30km SW Toowoomba, on the Darling Downs. This is the first time a coal mine has been stopped in Queensland by a community group.
Rob and his wife Sally farm 1000 hectares at Felton, where they grow crops and fatten beef cattle and occasional tourists. Crops are grown under a zero tillage controlled traffic system to conserve moisture and minimise compaction. The main crops are wheat, barley, oats and chickpeas in winter, and sorghum, sunflowers and mungbeans in summer.
In an earlier life, Rob and Sally were dairy farmers in Scotland and emigrated to Australia in 1994 with their 3 young children.
Rob has a degree in agriculture from Reading University (UK) and is a director of Lock the Gate Alliance.
He is key note speaker on Sunday 20 January at the public education day at James Cumming Wing, Ardwick St, Gore with his topic ' Our land, our water, our future - worth fighting for; He will challenge us and give us campaign strategies which worked for them as we gear up our campaign to stop new coal mines in Aotearoa/NZ and in particular the proposed lignite mining in the Mataura Valley.

First caught wind of it while watching the news, but the TSA (the kind folks who do the airport security) has got a blog were you can voice your rage and discontent. The admin person on this blog must've gotten boned with the worst Public Relations job in history since Kramer's PR guy following the Laugh Factory fiasco, so I admire his or her efforts to be nice:
Some have been downright mean and cranky but that's okay too. For most people, this is the first chance to reach out directly to TSA and tell us about your experiences and we very much want to hear from you.
Well hell. I wouldn't be a true Navy junior officer if I wasn't a complete bitter wiseass, so I thought I'd drop them a comment concerning their handling us military personnel coming from Kuwait to Atlanta on R&R (a true story).
To Whom It May Concern,
Recently, I was with a group of military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan traveling from Kuwait to Atlanta for our 2-week R&R period. I appreciate the Atlanta TSA personnel thanking us for our service when we first stepped foot on American soil. That was a fine example of Southern hospitality! However, I found it a little baffling that we had to take off our combat boots, dogtags, belts, etc. to go through a metal detector. My questions are three-fold: 1) Why would we need to go through security when we just got off a plane that departed from an airport in Kuwait with very strict security measures and customs procedures. 2) In no cases to my knowledge have terrorists been wearing US-issued military uniforms with valid military IDs, why not just let us bypass security, and 3) Having us get undressed in such a fashion while in uniform in front of other civilian passengers was a little embarrassing, and it undermines the professional demeanor that we would like to ensure the American public understands we uphold. Thanks for your time!
Very Respectfully,
LT Nixon
The blog uses comment moderation, so I don't know if it's going to make the cut, but it's under this post somewhere posted on 2/1 @ 6:28am. I'll probably get in trouble for this, but whatever.

that they let you in to the terminal at all. Who know what chaos and mischief you military types might cause if we let you just mingle with the rest of us. Maybe you should rethink your position...

This is like from Alice in Wonderland, where we ALL may be but the shrooms they gave us are blocking our memories of real.
Real what? I don't know, they fed me the same ones they fed everyone else.
I gotta story--my son (LCDR USN--is that still junior??) was visiting the civilian in-laws about 4 days after he returned from deployment. I went to the airport at 5 a.m. to say goodby. They had already checked in and were at their gate, waiting.
The ticket agent gave me a pass because the kid was military and I was a MOM (the highest rank available). I didn't have luggage to check in because I WAS THERE TO SAY GOODBY TO DEPARTING PASSENGERS, ONE OF WHOM WAS A MILITARY OFFICER, AND I HAD A PASS THAT SAID SO.
They made me assume the "hold your arms up, like an airplane" position anyway. The plane was late taking off so I got to burp the fussy baby (grandmas know how to do this) and cuddle him (the baby--LCDR is kinda tall or I would).
- LT Nixon said...
Glad to know the highest rank (a MoM) has got my back. My own Mom has convinced the ticket counter to get a pass as well in the past, and as long as you say your offspring are in the military, they should let you into the passenger waiting area (at the airports I've seen).
- Jason said...
Hey congrats, looks like you got a reply from TSA TOS NY!
- IrritatedVet said...
Geezus...we had to go through the same routine in 2004...we could not help but point out that we were on the safest plane in HISTORY.
On the way back to Kuwait, well, I could understand maybe someone really did not want to go back...so there we were, practically undressing.
I still fail to understand why, with so many mil charter flights going thru ATL daily, they don't have us go through the private terminal or some other part of that place.
No, wait, ATL wouldn't feel good about it if they moved mil-folks to another place. Wouldn't be good PR for them.
*beating head against wall*
- LT Nixon said...
There comes a point when the culture of being "politically correct" goes too far, that's for sure.
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to do a post on this one.

Super Street Fighter IV has some new downloadable costumes on the way, and it looks like if you want to collect them all you're gong to be downloading well into the new year.
Capcom Japan shared a schedule today. The first costume pack will be available on October 26. The last: March 15, 2011!
Here's the list:
10/26: Ultra Challengers Pack 1
Hakan, Makoto, Guy, Dudley, Dee-Jay
11/02: Ultra Shoryuken Pack
Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Goken, Dan
11/16: Ultra Beauty Pack
Chun-Li, C.Viper, Sakura, Rose, Cammy
12/21: Ultra Challengers APack 2
Juri, Ibuki, Cody, Adon, T.Hawk
1/18: Ultra Gowan Pack
Zangief, E.Honda, Rufus, Abel, El Fuerte
2/15: Ultra Shadaloo Pack
Vega, Sagat, Balrog, Bison and Seth
3/15: Ultra Classic Pack
Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, Gen, Fei Long
4/26: Ultra Complete Pack
All 35 Costumes
That last one includes all 35 costumes at a discounted price.
This is the exact same setup as the game's first set of costume packs. The characters in the individual packs are the same. The pack names are also the same, but with an "ultra" attached.
In Japan, the packs will carry the same pricing a their originals, so we can probably expect to pay the same here as well. Also, while the above dates are technically just for the Japanese versions, it's likely that we'll be getting the costumes at the same time.
Capcom provided a glimpse at the first Ultra Challengers Pack. Here's what you'll be getting:

Everyone knows that divorce is expensive, but for many new divorcees, the real financial problems hit during the period after divorce. One recent University of Michigan study found that one of the catalysts, in fact, for filing bankruptcy is divorce.
Unless you're granted a huge alimony or lots of assets in a divorce, you probably can't avoid some financial stress afterwards. But by avoiding these six particularly common money mistakes, you can at least regain financial stability more quickly, helping yourself and, if you have kids, your family recover more quickly.
1. Holding on to joint accounts
Way too many divorcing couples keep retirement, loan, credit card, mortgage, and bank accounts joint well after the divorce. This can be a huge problem because as long as your name is still on an account, you can be liable for what happens to it.
What to Do: Even during divorce proceedings, it's best to cut financial ties with your ex altogether. Don't leave joint bank accounts or credit card accounts open. Once you think you've gotten off all his accounts, pull your credit report just to make sure you aren't on any hidden or missed joint accounts with your ex.
2. Not moving out of the family home
Women, in particular, are likely to fight for the family home during the divorce, hoping that staying there will give the kids more stability. But staying in the family home is often more than a woman can afford, if she was a stay-at-home mom or was part of a dual-income couple, and fighting to stay can lead to foreclosure or bankruptcy in the future.
What to Do: Remember that no matter how you swing it, a divorce is tough for your kids, but they're resilient. Do what you can to keep them in their own school system and near their friends, but if you can't comfortably afford to pay the mortgage on your family home, it's time to move on to something cheaper.
3. Splurging a little too much
Often, women want to splurge on new clothes, a new hair cut, spa treatments, weekends with the girls, or whatever after a divorce. Sure, you want to get your groove back and relieve some stress, but don't do it at the expense of your financial stability.
What to Do: Set a monthly budget for splurges like spa treatments and new clothes, and stick to it. A little retail therapy isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as you can stay within a reasonable budget and not wreck your finances or rack up tons of credit card debt.
4. Maintaining the same lifestyle
Often times, maintaining the same lifestyle as before the divorce is also done in the name of giving the kids more stability. But unless your husband contributed next to nothing to your family finances or childcare, then you're just not going to be able to pay for everything that you could afford before.
What to Do: First, set a realistic, manageable budget based on your new income. Then, figure out what you need to cut out of your lifestyle, whether it means selling the new car in favor of an older model, downsizing your apartment, or having the kids choose one sport rather than playing three. Cutting back so that you can manage financially will leave you less stressed out and more able to focus on your family!
5. Forgetting to change the will and insurance policies
Cutting financial ties to your ex-spouse means changing your will and insurance policies, too. Many couples simply forget to do this, but it can have serious consequences if something were to happen to you.
What to Do: If you're going through a relatively amicable divorce, talk through child-related issues with your wills and insurance policies together. But even if you can't make decisions for the kids together, make sure that you name a new beneficiary of your life insurance policy and change your will so that your ex-spouse wouldn't inherit your assets.
6. Not understanding credit
Stay-at-home moms may have the worst time building up credit so that they can get a mortgage or a car loan on their own. If you weren't listed as a joint on your husband's accounts and just let him manage all the money, you'll need to build your own credit quickly after the divorce to secure your financial future.
What to Do: Start by pulling your credit score and credit report. Fix any inaccuracies listed on your report, and then figure out what steps you need to take to build up your credit. One good option is to use a low-interest credit card on a regular basis, paying it off every month. Revolving debt used responsibly is one of the best ways to boost your credit score quickly.

Daniela Baker from CreditDonkey.com says going through a divorce is tough enough on you and your children. Don't make it harder by making haphazard financial decisions after the divorce.

For almost 15 years, ISRAEL21c has been writing stories about the incredible international aid work that Israel carries out overseas.
Whether it's in response to an earthquake or other natural or manmade disaster, Israeli aid volunteers from the government, the army and nonprofit NGOs have been quick to respond, often reaching the disaster area before relief teams arrive from other nations.
Despite its tiny size, Israel is also involved in long-term educational, environmental and healthcare missions in countries including Kenya, Nepal, Japan, China, Vietnam, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Turkmenistan, Haiti, and Papua New Guinea.
Israel even helps the citizens of some enemy nations, treating refugees across the world, helping Syrians wounded in the civil war, or bringing children to Israel for lifesaving surgery.
And yet despite so many missions, little is known about the incredible aid work carried out by Israel. A year ago, ISRAEL21c decided to do something about that and created the Israel Aid Map. It's a phenomenal way to show people the extent and breadth of aid from Israel.
We explore five different areas of aid – disaster relief, psychological counseling, education, environment and medical aid. Click on any icon in any of the countries around the world, and you'll find out more about what relief work Israel has been involved in.
The map is made to share, so please do. Let's tell the world about the inspiring humanitarian work Israel carries out across the globe.

"We need a culture of evaluation – independent and in real time." – UN Secretary General, António Guterres (12 April 2016)
28 September 2017, Geneva, Switzerland – The 'Executive Leadership Programme in Evaluation and the Sustainable Development Goals' (ELPE) is a new certificate programme being offered by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in partnership with the Claremont Evaluation Center – New York (CEC-NY).
The programme intends to build evaluation capacity among leaders to support efforts towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Registration for the programme will be open until 20 October 2017, and the course will begin on 13 November 2017.
The programme uses a blended learning approach through three components:
- E-Learning course on the 2030 Agenda, legitimized by 22 United Nations entities which will be supported by three online moderators with experience in evaluation and SDGs.
- Face-to-face workshop managed by different experts in leadership and evaluation, adapted to the 2030 Agenda context, and held in New York City.
- Individualized follow-up project with faculty coaching to ensure the application of knowledge and skills after the programme.
"We must ensure the SDGs help transform the lives of people around the world. Words must be turned into impactful action. This will not happen without accountability, evaluation and learning." – UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed.
Given the critical role of evaluation in informing global and national leaders of the best way to achieve the SDGs, the ELPE responds to the need to further strengthen evaluation capacities, in developing and developed countries alike. Hence, during the programme, participants will have the chance to develop both evaluation and leadership skills and explore key issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals and national evaluation capacity.
"Our goal is to develop leaders who can transform the world through evaluative thinking." – Executive Director of CEC-NY, Dr. Deborah Rugg.
The ELPE targets a broad audience of established and aspiring leaders with varying levels of expertise in evaluation and leadership from government, intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector as well as the United Nations. Applications from leaders in developed and developing countries, including the least developed countries, the landlocked developing countries, and the small island developing states, are encouraged to apply.
By the end of the ELPE, participants will be able to:
- Describe the role and importance of evaluation and impact pathways in the public and private sectors in achieving the SDGs.
- Identify the main challenges in each SDG area, and the key linkages between the Goals.
- Analyse options in terms of public and private sector strategy, financing and means of implementation.
- Identify methods and implement good practices in SDG-responsive evaluations, including understanding systems-thinking, and human rights, equity and gender- sensitive evaluation.
- Effectively promote the attainment of the SDGs through strategic leadership and evaluation.
- Develop national evaluation agendas that reflect critical priorities.
- Effectively commission evaluations and understand how to apply results to inform the decision-making process
Upon completion of the programme, participants will receive a certificate from UNITAR and CEC-NY. To register, please go to the Executive Leadership Programme in Evaluation and the Sustainable Development Goals page in our online catalogue.

APGAW Dog Strategy December 2 2014
The Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare (APGAW) launched its Dog Sub-Group and Review and Recommendations for Developing an Effective England-wide Strategy for Dogs at a meeting at the House of Commons.
The setting up of a Sub-Group for Dogs under the chairmanship of Rob Flello, MP, is a very welcome development. The Group will cover dog control; dog breeding, dealing and trading; dog identification; responsible dog ownership; and resources.
The Group recommends that the laws relating to the breeding, dealing and trade in dogs should be reviewed and updated by means of statutory Codes of Practice under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). It recommends a more consistent approach by local authorities in enforcement of the AWA; the endorsement by Defra and widespread use of the Puppy Contract; and veterinary advice to breeders on inherited breed related disorders.
The full Report may be seen here: Strategy for Dogs [PDF]

This is what I use for scanning my 8×11 negatives. It's not the best machine on the market; heck, it's not even half the best ones.But it does its job quite nicely so it'll remain my main film scanner until such time I will invest in a more powerful and fancier one.
- Small picture film scanner
- Optical resolution: 7.200 dpi (according to manufacturer)
- Color depth: 48 bit
- incl. film holders for slides and 35mm filmstrips
I have modified the 35 film holder to accept 8×11 negatives ( black tape and black cardboard did wonders). I always keep the holder in a dust-free zipped bag.
The OpticFilm 7200 is capable of scanning 35mm slides and negatives in an optical resolution of 7200 dpi. This in combination with the very fast scanning and the USB 2.0 high-speed connection enables the low priced OpticFilm 7200 to compete with various professional film scanners.
The OpticFilm 7200 is suitable for photographers and home users. The images, which are digitized true to the original, can be used for press, home and office purposes.
The OpticFilm 7200 will be delivered with SilverFast SE.
Obviously, you'll need a custom – made film tray for scanning 8×11 format, since this scanner doesn't come with one of such format.
One can modify the existing slide tray into a 8×11 film tray (the same method can be employed to make a 16mm or 110 mask, or for 17.5 format).
What you have to do is break the margins of the slide tray. You need to do this because where the margins are, your film will have to enter and exit the mask you'll make. Friction with the margins will more than probable scratch your film.
Step 1 – break the margins of the slide tray
Step 2 – build the mask
Take a large piece of black cardboard, thickness of or up to 1 mm.
Cut two snug fitting strips for the length and width of the tray; make sure they are snug with the lateral margins of the tray, and with the length as well.
Held them together with a small vice or clips, and measure the scanning area (make sure you have exactly 8×11 measurements). You can easily measure to cut the scan frame by means of sticking the corners of the frame with a needle, and unite the holes with pencil lines to draw a rectangle on each strip of cardboard. Make sure your pieces are properly aligned, so the cutouts are matching.
Make two very narrow strips of same length and thickness as the cardboard pieces; what you do actually is the "negative bed", running for the length of the cardboard pieces. Is basically a sandwich:
This is a transversal section:
- the narrow strips, running for the length of the cardboard piece
- film bed, where the negative strip will run
- the cardboard pieces (the sandwich)
Glue the two narrow strips at the exact distance from one another, and align them with the margins of the cutout window of the scan area. These narrow strips will also deny any friction between film and cardboard, when you'll run the film inside the cardboard mask.
- area where you broke off the slide tray margins; you can see now why you did it. The film would've been in direct contact with the plastic.
- you can now see the film bed, where you insert the film
- the snug fit of the cardboard mask, so it doesn't move
- width of the scan area, taped so the film will slide better
- length of the scan area, taped so the film will slide better
Underneath, the mask is taped securely onto the slide frame.

With over 2,500 gym users each month, many of whom work in Navy Command HQ, there was a growing need for more space for people to use during their physical training exercises. A multi-purpose Trim Trail was deemed necessary so as to offer naval personnel equipment they wouldn't otherwise have access to. The new 1.4-mile Trim Trail was built following RNRMC funding and now offers a competitive element to physical training on the base. Users of the course can look to place on the 'Fastest Time' leaderboard which will be publicised every month. Andrew Davidson, Petty Officer Physical Trainer, who helped lead the project said: "The support the RNRMC has shown to HMS Excellent over recent years has been amazing.

Ubisoft has announced Petz Beach and Petz Countryside, two new games in its pet-simulation series that'll be released on Nintendo 3DS.
Each game features more than 50 different types of animal to take care of. The player's village will expand as players progress, and the environments also change with the seasons.
The 3DS' facial recognition system reportedly plays a part in the bond between player and pet, and voice recognition allows players to teach their pet tricks.
With 3DS Street Pass, both games allows players to connect with other Petz owners to exchange items and photos of their pets. A player who owns both Petz: Beach and Petz: Countryside will be able to visit the other town and exchange items between the games.
Petz Beach and Petz Countryside will be released on the 3DS on October 14. The Petz series dates all the way back to 2005, with virtual animals such as dogs, cats, horses, and bunnies being available to take care of.
Katie Williams is a freelance writer and games journalist. She tweets at @desensitisation and hopes that one day, a bird will tweet back.

Quick post
I know some of you have been checking my site. It's ammazing what you can track on the internet LOL. Just a quick update here. Since my post about my health I have been to the Drs once. He sent me to a therapist and I saw him a second time but not sure about a 3rd. Last night I came home from work early. Pretty sure I have another kidney stone. Going to the Dr today at 3. Foreman was pretty pissy about me leaving said I needed a note. I know Craig wouldn't want one but I'll do it to keep Ian happy. Place is getting worse but I'll hold out till after Christmas then go to McDonalds or something with full time hours not nights or afternoons only. A new hotel going in downtown so I might look into what job I mwould like to do and start working on getting anything I need before its finished. Nanaimo is going to be a tourist heaven !!! Still working on the personal stuff for any nosey ppl out there. Went on a date last night to see a female impersonator. Was a good time with lousy seats. The woman I was with was told how lucky she was that I was her date by a gay man sitting at our table and that she should keep me. There were about 14 of us at the table 2 gay couples. Was a little wierd how open they were about almost everything. Maybe it was everything but I tried to block alot of it out LOL. Football game was too close for comfort. Tougher opponent this Sunday. I move on the 1st into my own apartment.
Thats all for now I need to rest. Not sure when I'll update again but you never know.

Lions Game 2 of 2
First off I want to thank blogger for allowing me to upload these pictures tonight. 2nd I'd like to thank Lorne Plante the first picture, he,s the one that help set this up for me. On the sideline hes bigger than most of the players especially in height. 3rd I'd like to thank the B.C. Lions for allowing me to do this. Wasn't exactly free if you add up all the costs of 50 dollar ferry ride (each way) About 30 dollars in food because I was too late for the last ferry and camped in my car watching Bruce Almighty on my Ipod. That helped me get through the night. I got out of the stadium at 10:30pm and its a half hour drive to the ferry if you know where your going and last ferry leaves at 10:45pm. I knew I wouldn't make it so I drove north to the Horseshoe Bay terminal. Last I'd like to thank Scott for lending me a lense although it wasn't the 2.8 I was asking for it was still better than the one I own. Also he emailed me tonight to say he saw me at least 10 times and didn't watch the whole game. He thought the one time I was going to get knocked down but I got me and the camera out of the way in time. Its actually one of these photos where the QB is comming right at me and it looked sooooo close because it was. It's #16 with the ball tucked under his wing. Oh I almost forgot....
The rights to these photos are owned by the B.C. Lions football club and cannot be used with out their written consent as well as mine. They are here for your viewing pleasure only !
Lions Game 1of 2
I knew this is what most of you wanted to see. Hope you like these shots as much as I liked taking them. Of course the last photo I asked about 5 cheerleaders to give me a group shot and the others just kept joining so other photographers came over and they didn't know which way to look. Also they were being called and there were too many and not enough time to change my lense.

Blog Break
Just letting everyone know that I'm going on a blog break. After the game friday I'm going to stop posting on my blog and will probably drop by other blogs once a week. I have them in a folder that says daily but no one updates that often including me so I'm going to change the folder to Mondays and will check after the weekend. You can still email me at email@example.com. Take care all ..............
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
Woooooo Hoooooooo !!!!!!!
I just received a confirmation email from the B.C. Lions giving me a field pass for the game VS Calgary this friday. I have been bugging Lorne Plante the player on our team that is on the practice roster of the Lions. He had kept telling me that he had talked to the guy in charge and that he wanted an email from me telling him for what purpose I wanted the pass. Only thing is Lorne kept forgetting to get his email address. Last night Lorne emailed me and so I emailed Jaimie this morning and just received the confirmation back. I would have liked to have asked for the Ti Cat game but we have a playoff game that day and also the Cats MY TEAM would not grant me a field pass so screw them. I'd like to get a couple good shots of Danny Mac even if its just on the sidelines with the clip board. I'm a little excited at the moment. I was hoping he would say yes but wasn't expecting it to be this fast. Well gotta get showered and ready for work....oops and got to let them know about friday !!!!
Also I'm a terrible person because I know the 3rd is someones birthday but can't remember whos ! Annette, Terry and Rob all have birthdays in October 3, 15. and 25 but which one is which. If I had to guess I'd say Terry today, Rob the 15th and Annette the 25th. Not sure why but that sounds correct to me. Will find out who for sure and call on the weekend

Live! Opens this week in London
Sunday, September 14, 2008
Some news that Michelle wanted me to pass along.
Live! Opening this week in London!
In a world where reality and entertainment are continuously colliding, Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker Bill Guttentag's feature debut Live! follows ABN network president Katy Courbet (Eva Mendes) and up-and-coming documentary filmmaker Rex (David Krumholtz) as inspiration strikes to create the most daring reality program ever. The show is Russian Roulette, network style, with contestants competing for 5 million dollars on-air, complete with loaded guns. As seen through the lens of a documentary film crew, Live! examines the competitive and often gut-wrenching world of television production, where everyone from the crew to the contestants to the network brass becomes engulfed in a ratings battle to the top-a battle where questions of morality, ethics and sheer will lead to a darkly humorous and unforgettable outcome.

U.S. Election 2008
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Hey Everyone!
I just wanted to encourage everyone to register and VOTE. This is truly a special election but if you're not registered by October, you may miss your chance to be a part of a truly historical election in America. Also, since my exposure to Burma and my participation in the PSA campaign (see past blogs), I've really become sensitive to participating in our political process. Please VOTE in this election.

The PayPal 1099-K: What is it?
By: Richard Brewer-Hay
Last month I was fortunate enough to attend the Las Vegas Online Seller Meetup and sit in on a presentation by Laura Messerschmitt, VP of Marketing, Outright.com regarding the new tax form called the 1099-K. Rather than paraphrase some of the details from that presentation, I thought it would be better to have Laura put together an overview for eBay Ink readers first-hand. A huge thanks to Laura for taking the time to share this info with our readers.
Tax time – It's here again! You've probably been receiving those pesky little 1099 tax forms in the mail over the last few weeks. And, If you haven't heard, there's a brand new tax form that may have arrived in your mailbox this year. It's called the 1099-K. 53 Million of these forms are being sent out this year, which means that businesses of all shapes and sizes are going to receive this new form – but, since this is eBay Ink, we are going to focus on what this means for you, the eBay Seller.
Though it seems that it came out of nowhere, the origins of the 1099-K go back a few years. With the passing of the 2008 Housing Assistance Tax Act, Congress required that all credit card processors and third party payment processors, like PayPal, issue form 1099-K to people who receive income through those sources starting in 2011. One copy is sent to you and one is sent to the IRS.
Who gets it?
Not everyone who sells on eBay will get one. There are two big criteria you must meet:
** You must have made over $20,000 through one credit card processor, such as PayPal AND
** That $20K must have been made through 200 or more transactions
If you don't meet either one of those criteria, then you won't be getting the 1099-K form this year.
The Details
For those of you who did receive one, the 1099-K form shows your "gross sales". There's been lots of confusion about what is and is not included in that total. "Gross sales" includes all of your selling transactions. Refunds and fees are NOT taken out of that number. Shipping revenue IS included. That's why the number may seem a bit higher than you were expecting.
But, don't fear! You only pay taxes on profit (revenue minus expenses), not "gross sales". Your expenses may include such things as PayPal / eBay fees, returns, refunds, shipping costs, supplies, etc. All of those expenses that you incurred last year will reduce the taxes you may owe.
(Note: Both fees and returns are important for eBay sellers to track in order to reduce taxes. If you didn't track those throughout the year, PayPal provides a CSV file of all of your transactions from 2011. Alternatively, a free account at Outright.com can automatically download your PayPal transactions from last year and sum up the fees and returns for you.)
Net-net, this new tax form shouldn't send you over the edge. And, if getting your taxes done sends you running around the room like a 2-year-old with a lollipop, then please visit Outright's Tax and 1099-K Resource Center or PayPal's handy IRS Information Center for more information on 1099-K and self-employment taxes in general!
About Outright.com
Outright is a free online accounting tool that imports all of your data in one place so that you can see how your eBay business is doing. No math, no manual entry, no paperwork. Outright integrates eBay, PayPal, bank and credit card accounts in one place, so users can stay up-to-date effortlessly — and instead focus on doing what they love to do.

From a black person, it could be the worst insult or an expression of high praise from a low place; the kind of affirmation that might not be used in front of your mom, but one that meant a lot coming from the right person in the street.

The recent actions of two of the party's rising stars — Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren — tell the deeper tale of that crisis. It is a microcosmic story, suggesting that the 2016 election may be a decisive turning point in the party's history.
- Gay Republican groups shut out of CPAC again – Salon.com – GOProud and the Log Cabin Republicans told the Huffington Post that they will not be attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, which is put together by the American Conservatives Union, for the second year in a row. "We were kicked out last year and nothing has changed and we wont be at CPAC," said GOProud's Jimmy LaSalvia. "The last communication I've had from them is that we were kicked out. Nothing has changed."
