Hope for our children's education--
Hope for our country--
C. R. Snyder's work from the University of Kansas at Lawrence, shows that hope is a function of struggle. (http://www.onbeing.org/blog/courage-is-born-from-struggle-brene-brown/) And as I witness Gus' epic struggle with his MS, I hold hope--
Like John Steinbeck:
Not that I have lost any hope. All the goodness and the heroisms will rise up again, then be cut down again and rise up. It isn't that the evil thing wins — it never will — but that it doesn't die. I don't know why we should expect it to. It seems fairly obvious that two sides of a mirror are required before one has a mirror, that two forces are necessary in man before he is man. (https://www.brainpickings.org/2016/12/30/john-steinbeck-new-year/)
And as I consider the seeming trajectory of our nation and our public schools, hope, as Synder says will be "the fuel". The fuel to help us reach our aspirations and our dreams-- those of a meaningful public education for every student and those of a democracy in all of its idiosyncracies and beauty that not only prevails but thrives.
To Snyder, hope reflects the interaction between your goals, your sense of personal agency, and your pathfinding ability. It's your ability to link your present to imagined futures. After all, much of life is contemplating, pursuing, and completing goals — what you might colloquially call dreams — and hope is the fuel that gets you there.
It hovers in dark corners
before the lights are turned on,
it shakes sleep from its eyes
and drops from mushroom gills,
it explodes in the starry heads
of dandelions turned sages,
it sticks to the wings of green angels
that sail from the tops of maples.
It sprouts in each occluded eye
of the many-eyed potato,
it lives in each earthworm segment
surviving cruelty,
it is the motion that runs the tail of a dog,
it is the mouth that inflates the lungs
of the child that has just been born.
It is the singular gift
we cannot destroy in ourselves,
the argument that refutes death,
the genius that invents the future,
all we know of God.
It is the serum which makes us swear
not to betray one another;
it is in this poem, trying to speak.

Allstar Magnetics in a licensed franchized distributor of Powdered Iron Cores. Iron powder cores are commonly used as output inductors in switching mode power supplies, current smoothing inductors, high Q circuits, tank circuits, and filters. Iron powder cores are available in 2 basic materials. They are Carbonyl and Hydrogen Reduced Iron. The Carbonyl Iron Powder cores are also called as the RF Cores, and the Hydrogen Reduced Iron Powder cores are also called the Power Cores.
RF Cores, as its name suggest are mainly for RF application such as a tuned circuits, tank circuits, RF filters, etc. These cores are very commonly used in radio transmissions, and in amateur radio applications. RF cores have good temperature stability. The permeability is usually between 0 to 55 ui. These cores are good for operations up to 500 Mhz.
Power Cores are used for input and output filters in electrical circuits and in power supplies, load inductors, and EMI filters. Power cores have permeability up to 90 ui. It is the lowest cost cores types.
Iron Powder cores comes primariliy as toroidal cores. The Power Cores are also available as Rod Cores, and E-Cores. These rod and E cores are used to construct high power and high current inductors and filters.
The major advantage of using iron powder cores is the high saturation flux density. This means that the cores hardly get into complete saturation even at very high current.

More Vanessa Justification Lies, Meg and James on Block, Mean Sisters Unite
9:20 am The house guest get woken up by Big Brother. Vanessa wakes up and immediately talks game to Austin telling him that James said he would put up the Austwins if he won HOH because he was not afraid to get blood on his hands, that he has in the past…. This is Vanessa's way of justifying her actions and getting Austwins mad at James. She said if James does not win VETO he will go home (duh going to jury and will be a vote at the end). Austin said that if James wins VETO she should tell him not to use it… Vanessa said he was not that dumb, he would use it. Vanessa then said she feels evil putting them (James and Meg) as Have Nots then nominating them. Austin said it was good strategy. Austin said he could not believe that Jason and Johnny Mac got such a great ovation, and Vanesa said that people are forced to clap they have signs that say applaud etc. Liz then said people are stupid to leave us all in the game. Austin then said that he and Vanessa has had a hand in every eviction. (Really Austin you have been HOH once.)
A bit later we get FISH for a bit and we find out this is the last week for Have Nots and they are Meg, James, Julia and John. They can eat slop and dots candy. James is pissed because Austin has never been on the block nor has he ever been a Have Not.
James remembered that he and Vanessa had a deal from when he was HOH… that she would not nominate him if he did not nominate her. He was also supposed to be able to pick one of the nominations.
3:43 pm The feeds returned from FISH and Meg and James were nominated. Vanessa was talking (lying) to James again saying there was no target and good luck. Meg was crying and saying it was the worst week yet Have Nots and nominated. She said that Vanessa will not win this game. She will vote for anyone but Vanessa.
Meanwhile Vanessa is in the other room trying to convince everyone she has no friends in jury so anyone who takes her to the end would win.
3:56 pm James brings Vanessa back to Have Not room to talk to Meg and him, she just talked in circles and lies talking about targeting Austin and Jackie and Audrey etc., never really saying why either the target were. Meg said she was confused so Vanessa said she was being disrespectful. She goes on and on how she takes all the blame etc. Never saying anything half intelligent or truthful. Of course she ends it with she feels personally hurt by them and everyone in the house for targeting her last week (she is the victim and how dare they be upset by being nominated). She said that if they even tried to be in her shoes they would understand. Meg gets upset because someone else lied to Vanessa (or Vanessa made it up) and said she was making fun of her which she never did. Vanessa said there are cameras so someone will get the last laugh (as Meg was crying). Vanessa again said she is alone in this game and nobody knows how hard this is for her.
4:10 pm Meanwhile the twins were outside with their legs in the pool. They're making fun of Meg and have decided they don't need to be nice to her anymore. JMac went outside and the twins were are all over him telling him they are so glad he was the one to come back and last week it was all game. He said he understood that last week was all strategy. Julia then went off on how much she hated Meg. She then said that they (James and Meg) are just jealous (everyone wants to be them I guess). Liz said they kept them safe for two weeks and all they do is ride their coattails. Julia then calls Meg an immature brat. Vanessa talks to them and tells them she was blunt with them too and told them how it was. (Really because neither understood a thing she said). Liz said Meg's negative attitude was a cancer in the house and Julia said she was crazy. Liz laughs and said she is washing James's bedspread and sleeping in his bed tonight while he is a Have Not. Julia again said Meg is a princess and a brat. They then tell Vanessa they won't be mean girls to James and Meg and just keep their conversation to a minimum. Twins then headed out to the back yard.
Vanessa finds Austin and rehashes how bunt she was again and how much of a baby Meg is because she cried when nominated. (Coming from the girl who pulled an Audrey and stayed in bed 12 hours when she was nominated) She told him she thinks they could work with James and Meg is just a baby. She then said she can't handle Meg's antics anymore. Steve joins them and joins in the Meg bashing. Vanessa then said that they would be unpopular because they evicted the Amazing Race people and that Jason was a villain. Austin leaves and yes Vanessa again justifies herself by talking fast and with many lies on why she nominated James and Meg to Steve. Steve then asked him who was more verbal about getting him out last week and Vanessa said Meg but James supported it. Vanessa then wonders if there would be any relationship to salvage from whoever does not get evicted this week and she thinks not.
8:00 pm Meg tells the Austwins about how Vanessa had a deal with them and broke it. She then tells them about misinformation (that Vanessa made up) that someone gave Vanessa. Austin said well if one of you get off with VETO then one of us has to go up. They tell her to play her heart out tomorrow and they will talk after that. She assures them that they never said to put up both of them just one as a pawn
Steve alone in the purple room talking to himself said that he would put up Liz and Austin, very sneaky
Meanwhile the houseguests wonder why they backyard is still open and if it is Labor Day weekend and the VETO competition won't be till Tuesday.
Johnny Mac and James played some pool and Johnny Mac asked how he and Meg were doing. James replied you know, someone gave some misinformation and you end up on the block, Johnny Mac said just keep fighting and James replied he was going to fight for VETO.
Austin tells Vanessa about their conversation with Meg and how she was lying about putting both of them up. Vanessa swore 100% that they said that. She said Meg is just mad because she got outplayed. Liz said she expected to float by till the end and all her friends are in jury.
9:30 pm The houseguests get lockdown and back yard gets closed for VETO ceremony.
James and Meg talk and said Vanessa has stuff made up about the whole house. That she has reasons to put everyone up. That Austwins told her about their conversation. That she takes things out of context and applies it where she feels fit. James also said she plays the victim all the time saying she has no one. James said she baited them so she can have info to put them up, that she does not realize she is playing for fourth place with them. James said if he wins VETO he is going to say to Vanessa your fucked now you better hope I don't win HOH next week because you can't play. Every dog has their day. He then said if she gets houseguests choice she should pick Julia because she won't win. The next best one is Steve because he won't fight hard for it.
Once everyone goes to bed Steve talks to himself again. He said he wants Meg out. He said he would throw POV of he is chosen because he does not want a win under his belt. He also thinks that Vanessa would not pawn him if James wins POV. He then said it is time to go after the Austwins, yes it is. He wonders who Meg or James would go after maybe the Austwins he thinks. Steve goes to bed and is very restless.
At 3:45am everyone was in bed with visions of VETO dancing in their heads.
Will James win the VETO? Will he use it on himself or on Meg? Will anyone ever figure out that they have to get out one of the Austwins? Will anyone get rid of Vanessa? Will Vanessa ever stop lying about everyone else? Will Steve ever figure out he will be targeted next by many? Only tomorrow will tell! Thanks Jokers!

Republished from the archives…
I have been going through a challenging season in my mothering: sparatic insomnia, disciplinary struggles with a toddler, and challenges with getting the kids to sleep together in the same room. I have felt time and time again that I just wanted to throw in the towel and give up. I believe the Lord takes you through these seasons in order to reveal how much we desperately need Him in order to be faithful mothers to our children. I wanted to share with you today some encouragement that the Lord has used to lift me out of those feelings of failure and hopelessness. Mothering is not an easy task, nor is it a task that I would ever do on my own.
Take time to be alone
This may sound impossible, but I believe it to be essential, and possible if you are purposeful! I have found taking regular intervals of time to have a simple short retreat brings such refreshment to me. In this season of life with nursing, they have to be short, but it is amazing how an hour or two away can renew my spirits. I try to get out once or twice a month for a few hours on a Saturday morning or Sunday while my husband watches the little ones to just be alone and read the Word and write out my thoughts. I go to a coffee shop or sit alongside a river bank and spend time with the Lord. I always take my Bible and notebook with me to write out what struggles I am going through and the Scriptures that encourage and strengthen me. It is a testimony to look back upon and see what God has done. God has been so good to me lately through these times. If your husband is not available, seek out a friend to trade watching each other's children. Schedule these times away and make it a habit.
Find refreshment in Psalms 23
I have been steeped in meditation on Psalms 23 lately…a passage we are all familiar with, but how often do we really meditate upon? It has brought such strength to my soul during this weary season and can bring encouragement to you whatever you might be going through. Here are the meditations that I wrote down that I wanted to pass on to you. It is re-paraphrasing Psalms 23 in part in my own words:
You are not alone
"The Lord is my Shepherd" - The Lord, God of the universe, Sovereign King, is MY SHEPHERD. Did you catch that? He is MINE! He chose to take on human flesh in order that He might adopt me into His fold.
Your every need is already met
"I have all that I need" – He has already supplied my present and future needs. He has already provided for the grace I need for each passing day in my mothering and wife roles. It has been a difficult season in child training – it feels like a dark valley with no light at the end of the tunnel, but in reality, this is only a passing season for which God has already supplied all my needs to make it through. I lack patience. I lack perseverence. Grant me, oh Lord faith and endurance. You are doing a good work in me. Growing me in Christ-likeness. Childbearing and childraising are God's means of grace in my life to make me more like my beautiful Savior. It will bring great reward!
Let some things go
"He lets me rest in green pastures, He leads me besides peaceful streams." Sometimes God takes us through difficult seasons and calls us to simply rest. For me that means we have been eating very simple and easy meals. We keep the house picked up but no deep cleaning is happening right now.
Focus on the goal
"Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life." I am laboring to bring eternal souls into the Kingdom! That is my mission as a mother! I am co-laboring alongside my husband to serve the Lord and His church. My God is close beside me! He guides me along right paths. He is my Shepherd and Guide. He is my Source that I might bring honor to His name. He is my Enabler.
Be thankful
"My cup overflows with blessings." It is not just full, it is overflowing! Do you see that? What are these blessings? Write them out. I am thankful for My God – I wouldn't be here without Him. My Husband – who lovingly leads our family and cherishes me! My two adorable children. My family – for their support and encouragement. My cup truly is overflowing!
For further encouragement from Psalms 23, I would encourage you to listen to Revive Our Hearts recent series on it here. This series was what lead me to mediate on Psalms 23 and the Lord has used it mightily in my life!
May you dear sisters be strengthened today in your mothering! The Lord is with you!
What can you be thankful for today?

The Pygora goat is a breed developed and registered in Oregon by Katherine Jorgensen. She wanted an animal that would produce fine fiber for hand spinning. The Pygora is a cross between the Pygmy, a goat with short, soft down and the Angora, a goat with long, silky fleece. The Pygora breed may contain up to 75% of one of the parent breeds.
Pygora does weigh from 65 to 75 pounds, while bucks and wethers weigh 75 to 95 pounds. Most kids are about five pounds at birth, depending on which breed is used as the doe.
The Pygora Breeders Association (PBA) was formed in 1987. The PBA has minimum height requirements of 18 inches for does, and 23 inches for bucks. There is no maximum height restriction.
Most Pygoras produce six ounces to two pounds of hair per shearing. Below are three different fleece types:
True Type "A" animals must be shorn. Types "B" and "C" will shed out (blow) their fleeces in the spring if the fiber is not removed. All types will mat if left too long on the animal.
Little or no lanolin exists in Pygora fleece, so care must be taken not to over-spin it. It blends very well with wool and silk. Pygora fleece takes beautifully to natural, commercial, or Kool-Aid™ dyes.

National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Shimon says the Cass County emergency manager reported the tornado just before 3 p.m. Thursday near the town of Arenzville. That's about 50 miles west of Springfield.
Shimon says he hasn't received any reports of damage, but it "was definitely observed on the ground by several different sources."
The line of thunderstorms is moving rapidly eastward. Shimon says a tornado watch remains in effect for several central Illinois counties until 7 p.m.
Cass County officials did not immediately respond to calls for comment.

Article: Bullying gets clever... the transformation of 'bread shuttles'
Source: Yonhap News via Nate
'Bread shuttles' has long been a common form of bullying in Korea and this article talks about how the bullying has expanded to include other types of 'shuttles'. Bread shuttles were originally what the victims were called because the iljins would bully them by forcing them to buy them pastries at a convenience store outside of the school during short breaks. The victims would essentially have to sprint, sacrificing both their break time and their money for the amusement of iljins.
Confession shuttle: For iljins who are daring enough to commit violence but not enough to confess their feelings, iljins will make a 'confession shuttle' do the work for him.
Pikachu shuttle: The victim is used as a 'pikachu' of the iljin and forced to fight in his place. Iljins will have 'pokemon' battles with one another using shuttles to fight for them.
Wifi shuttle: To save on smartphone expenses, iljins will force shuttles to use their phones as hot spots to provide them with free wifi.
Sandbag shuttle: If an iljin is having a bad day or has been yelled at by the teacher, he'll take it out on a sandbag shuttle whose job is to stand there while the iljin takes his anger out on him. This is one of the more severe forms of bullying due to its physical nature.
Laughter shuttle: If an iljin who is feeling sad or depressed tells his shuttle to make him laugh, he must at all costs make him laugh or risk being beat up.
Pay shuttle: Shuttles must provide iljins with an amount of money on schedule or risk being beat up.
1. [+910, -55] When I was in high school, I had someone who tortured me, took my money, and stole my shoes a day after I got new ones. I lost contact with him when I got to college until one day I went to a sauna with a friend and he told me that the kid who bullied me died in a car accident. After hearing that, I laughed like this on the inside ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ I can laugh, right? He deserved to die......
2. [+758, -20] A confession shuttle? ㅋㅋㅋ Too pathetic to even confess his feelings for a girl, how does a pathetic guy like that get his own shuttle ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+564, -27] I remember in my third year of junior high, I transferred to a new school and got into a fight with one of those losers who basically play slave to the iljins while bullying those below him, and lost. They kept bullying me after that so we got into more fights, which I kept losing. I got so mad one day that I hit his head with a rock and got suspended for a week on top of having to pay his hospital fees. I was really sorry to my parents because I wasn't a good student either but now that I think about it, I don't regret what I did at all. Sometimes beating them back is the only answer.
4. [+58, -1] Iljins... they're no iljins, just idiots. They whimper when they're alone and only roar when they're together in groups. They're like hyenas.
5. [+48, -3] One day those shuttles are going to lose it and stick a knife right back into them
6. [+44, -1] I'm so shocked over the pikachu shuttles... I can't imagine how torturous it must be for those shuttles to live day to day like this
7. [+38, -5] When I was in school, there was an iljin who even acted up against teachers but he got good grades so the school kept telling the teachers to let him go. Nowadays, even iljins study hard and get good grades so there's not much schools can do if they want to keep their honor.
8. [+33, -0] To all the shuttles who got home after being bullied today, I want to suggest that you get some bravery and fight back for once. Just beat them as hard as you can and change your life around.
9. [+21, -0] I was in junior high in 2003 and there was this ba$tard who tried to stick a knife in me by having his two sidekicks hold my arms back. Fortunately I was able to push one of the guys in front of me and only got my side cut a bit. I found out two years later that the idiot died in a motorcycle accident ㅋㅋ I remember there was another iljin that tried to make me masturbate in front of everyone and then beat me up for not doing it. I bet he's out there selling used cars or something right now.
10. [+19, -0] These kids need to be expelled and have this record kept for the rest of their lives

Forty years ago, before I was attending school (that's telling something), I'd watch Mr. Dress Up, The Friendly Giant, and Sesame Street, back to back episodes provided by CBC, on our little black and white tv. There were also a couple of other children's programs like Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo on the american networks. Today's children have a hundred more programs to choose from, and they can watch them via cable television or the Internet. There are dedicated networks for children and a vast array of edu-tainment options, which include programs from other countries.
I watched a couple of Toopy and Binoo episodes on the Internet to check out Patchy Patch, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the storytelling - very cute and imaginative.
What programs did you watch when you were little?
***update*** Sorry, I will no longer make Patchy Patch or any other trademarked or licensed characters. Please send me your child's drawings instead!

Seahawks Insider Blog
Morning links: Hawks ready for the Big Apple
Pete Carroll talked to the reporters this week about the significance of playing in New York this week, offering a gentle reminder – the Seahawks are playing in New Jersey.
"I asked how many of our guys have played in New York," Carroll told reporters this week. "And a few guys raised their hands, and I said, 'Well, we're playing in New Jersey.' "
Yes, Pete, we understand the New York Giants' new digs, MetLife Stadium, actually is in East Rutherford, N.J., seven miles west of midtown Manhattan.Still, it's the first time a Carroll-led NFL team will play in the New York area since his return to the league last year.
Carroll served as head coach of the New York Jets in 1994. The team had a 6-10 record and finished last in the AFC East.
The game also is an opportunity for Leon Washington to play in his former stomping grounds for the first time since playing for the Jets his first four years in the league, along with eight-year pro and Brooklyn-born Seattle defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove returning home.
"As far as the loudness of the stadium, the Giants fans have long money and have had season tickets forever, so they don't really get as crunk (loud) as the Jets fans," Washington said. "So I don't think the crowd noise will play a significant role compared to what we get here. So it's just a regular game – go out and play."
John McGrath of The News Tribune dives into Seahawks running back Justin Forsett's latest endorsement, the Shower Pill, an anti-bacterial body wipe used an alternative to a time-consuming shower. McGrath said it makes sense that Forsett is trumpeting the new product, since with only 10 carries on the season he probably hasn't played enough to need one.
A saxophone-playing Sidney Rice made a cameo on The League last night. Check out a snippet of the video below.
Clare Farnsworth of Seahawks.com provides some news and notes from Thursday's practice.
Sam Borden of the New York Times writes that Giants' safety Deon Grant wants to make sure his teammates are not taking his former team.
Adam Caplan of Fox Sports reports the Seahawks worked out former San Francisco middle linebacker Scott McKillop on Thursday.
Matt Bowen of the National Football Post takes a look at some of the base power run plays in the league.
Brian Burke of the New York Times Fifth Down blog gives Seattle a 19 percent win chance against the Giants.
Zach Berman of the New Jersey Star Ledger writes that running back Brandon Jacobs missed his second practice.

"Ahhh, sunrise in 12 minutes, I'll be able to get some great pictures of it coming up over the lake," I thought while pulling into the Smithville lake parking lot.
My goal this morning was to put another notch in my lakes-in-Missouri-I've-kayaked-on belt. I also wanted to get some nice sunrise pictures while out on the lake. On the spiritual side I thought doing my devotions on the kayak would be nice. In God's creation and all – what better place to read my Bible? On the less spiritual side, a person always needs to have a fishing rod with him when in his kayak. Anything less is unmanly. This was going to be a great morning and all before I went into the office.
I only had 12 minutes now before sunrise. The kayak had to be on the water. My camera, paddle, life jacket, Bible (Oh – I forgot that at home – so much for the spiritual side of this trip), and fishing rod had to be loaded. I needed to park the van. Then I needed to paddle out about 100 yards from shore to get the good sunrise shots.
"Hmmmm, I thought that storm was supposed to have rolled by already. Oh well, as long as it doesn't lightening."
On a side note, I was amazed at how stable my new kayak was the first time I took it out last week. I'd always heard how tipsy these things were. There was only one time that it seemed that way – when I was getting in. The rest of the first day it was stable Mable.
Back to today – everything was going according to plan. Kayak tied up to the dock. Loaded with everything. Van parked. Life jacket on. This would be the first time I had entered my kayak from a dock.
"Hmmm, those clouds might just prohibit any good sunrise shots."
After evaluating the best way to enter the kayak, I decided on a method. I would put one foot where it was supposed to go, place my left hand on the far side of the kayak, and keep my right hand on the dock. I would then kind of drop my hind parts down into the seat.
In one deft move I performed my entrance maneuver, rolled the boat over, and was completely submerged in lake water. It wasn't even 5:25am yet!! Normally it takes me several good hours into an adventure for a misadventure to happen.
My rod, journal (I did remember that), camera, tackle box, and paddle were all in the water or lying on the bottom. My billfold is drenched. Sigh. I fished everything out and put it on the dock. Ahhhh! The camera still works! Sunrise shots are still possible.
All wet items, except for my clothes, were returned to the van. I thought I should keep my clothes on. A naked, kayaking pastor might make the front page.
I paddled out a few hundred yards. "Hmmm, lightening," I thought. Better go back. I took a few pictures of the clouds, the dock, some geese and my feet in the end of the kayak as proof I actually did this. The camera case was drenched so I left it in the van. It's hard to find a place for a camera out of a case in a kayak. "Well, I'll be back at the dock in a few minutes, so I'll just put it on my lap," I thought.
"Ehhhh, lightening is getting closer – better hurry."
It was a relaxing 5 minutes on the water. Back at the dock I quickly hopped out. Wait. What was that plop? Arrgh! The camera is now in 3 feet of water. The trip was turning into an expensive misadventure.
I loaded everything up and dragged my drenched body into the van. Upon pulling out of the lot, the sun just peeked through a few clouds. It was beautiful. One quick picture to wrap up the morning. Ohhh – the camera didn't take well to being under the water. Sigh.
Psalms 116:6 "The Lord preserves the simple…"
(Credit to the Ocean Kayak Company for the picture on this blog. For some reason, I don't have any pictures of this trip to post yet. The Frenzy kayak is identical to mine, but the person in it is more experienced and the location is not Smithville Lake, MO)

These include landlord-tenant issues, insurance matters and obtaining government assistance," said State Bar President Seymour W. James, Jr. (The Legal Aid Society in New York City). "These grants can help storm victims obtain the quality legal services they need to help them rebuild their lives after suffering the ravages of the storm."
"Lawyers from across the country have generously donated to help New Yorkers," said Bar Foundation President Cristine Cioffi (Cioffi•Slezak•Wildgrube). "We are so grateful for the contributions we have received."
"Victims of Superstorm Sandy are still in dire need of legal assistance," said Lucia B. Whisenand of Syracuse, who chairs The Foundation's Grants Committee. "We anticipate these needs continuing for some time and are pleased to be able to add this component to The Foundation's grantmaking process."
Applications are available at www.tnybf.org. The application deadline is March 25, 2013.
The Foundation is still accepting tax-deductible donations to the Superstorm Sandy Relief Fund. They can be sent to the New York Bar Foundation, One Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207. Checks should be made payable to: The New York Bar Foundation, with the notation, "Superstorm Sandy Relief Fund." Donors also can contribute online by visiting www.tnybf.org, clicking "Make a Donation," and choosing this fund from the "Restricted Funds" drop-down.

I am really excited about Magnolia making headway into the US. After all, I personally founded Magnolia Americas in summer 2007 and spend considerably time there laying the foundation of our success. With Andrew, we hired a "native" who understands the US market and has worked with European companies before. This will be of great benefit for our clients as well as our partner channel in the USA. Developing the latter is Andrew's first priority, in line with our corporate strategy of growing with our partners. Our non-compete partner strategy should be a strong incentive for potential partners in the USA, and we look forward to partner with some excellent companies in the USA.
Having Andrew on board is certainly a milestone for our US business. Expect more good news to come!

Federal Law Enforcement Careers
Basis for Federal authorityFederal executive departmentsOnline job-finding aidsLinks to Federal agencies that employ law enforcement officersQuestions and AnswersWriting Skills
NOTE: These comments reflect only my observations, based on what I experienced during my career. Check everything out for yourself!
Criminal investigators
Also known as "series 1811" in Government-speak, criminal investigators are employed by many agencies. Individual agencies usually give them the title of "special agent". Perhaps the best known are FBI special agents.
ATF, DEA, FBI and Homeland Defense (Customs, Immigration and U.S. Secret Service) employ armed special agents with general powers of search and arrest. Depending on one´s specific assignment, these jobs may involve considerable personal risk, including hostile encounters with armed offenders.
The Internal Revenue Service also employs "special agents", who are armed when situations require. These positions are normally low risk. When hostile arrests or searches are required, US Marshals or the FBI are usually called in.
Most Federal departments, including the Dept. of Labor, Dept. of Health and Human Services, Environmental Protection Agency and Dept. of Defense employ criminal investigators. They investigate white-collar crime and internal misconduct. Jobs are normally low or no risk. In the rare event that hostile arrests or searches are required, US Marshals, FBI or local authorities are usually called in.
The Postal Service, a quasi-public agency, calls their criminal investigators "Postal Inspector". They investigate mail theft by employees and outsiders and the use of mail to commit fraud. Postal inspectors frequently make arrests and serve search warrants. Since targets are mostly white-collar criminals, these jobs carry low to moderate risk.
The State Department´s Bureau of Diplomatic Security employs special agents. Their primary responsibility is security of embassies and embassy personnel. They also investigate visa and passport fraud. Their jobs are usually low risk. However, certain foreign postings can be very high risk.
The U.S. Marshals Service employs Deputy U.S. Marshals, a special job classification that mixes custodial and investigative work. Their main job is to provide security for US courthouses and to guard and transport Federal prisoners awaiting trial. Marshals also arrest Federal fugitives. Depending on assignment, these positions may involve considerable personal risk.
The Navy/Marine Corps and Air Force employ civilian criminal investigators. They investigate all felony crimes that occur on military reservations, where they function essentially as detectives. Because of the regulated nature of military life, these jobs are normally low risk.
The Defense Department's Defense Criminal Investigative Service employs special agents. One of their primary missions is to combat fraud by civilian contractors. These jobs are low risk.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a branch of the Dept. of the Interior, employs plainclothes criminal investigators. These jobs are normally low to moderate risk.
Civilian (unarmed) Inspectors and Investigators
ATF and other agencies (e.g., DEA, EPA, FDA, OSHA, ICC) employ unarmed "inspectors" and "investigators" to insure that private industry complies with Federal regulations. For example, ATF inspectors examine the books of liquor and gun distributors. EPA inspectors check manufacturing plants for pollution controls. These are quasi-investigative, non-uniformed, unarmed positions and normally carry no risk.
Uniformed Positions
Homeland Security employs officers who check goods entering the U.S. and verify the legal status of travelers. These are usually static-post, uniformed, armed positions and carry low risk.
Homeland Security employs Border Patrol agents who apprehend illegal immigrants. These are physically demanding, high-risk positions that require making frequent physical arrests.
The United States Park Police, a branch of the Dept. of the Interior, provides a full range of police services, from patrol to detectives, for Federal parks in urban areas, including a large chunk of the District of Columbia. Depending on area of assignment, these jobs carry moderate to high risk.
The U.S. Forest Service, a branch of the Dept. of Agriculture, and the Bureau of Land management, a branch of the Dept. of the Interior, employ "Law Enforcement Rangers" that provide uniformed police services for National Parks and other rural Federal lands. These jobs carry moderate to high risk.
Online job-finding aids
USA Jobs Use the search tool. For example, if you are looking for an armed criminal investigator position, type in 1811 for the series number. Or type in 1810 for unarmed investigation positions. Or, simply type in the keyword "investigator" to search for both kinds of jobs. For pay grade type in the range GS-5 to GS-7, which will cover most entry-level openings. For location select "US", meaning the whole country.

Questions and Answers
NOTE: Everything here is my opinion, based on what I experienced and learned during my career. Check everything out yourself!
Hiring: Federal criminal investigator positions are very selective. Normally a four-year degree is required. Several agencies (including DEA and FBI) impose additional standards, including one or more of the following: specialized professional experience, degrees in law or accounting, language skills and a minimum age requirement. IRS special agent applicants must prove they have taken advanced coursework in accounting.
Some agencies, including ATF, Customs, IRS and the State and Defense departments occasionally hire new graduates for special agent positions. Keep in mind that many applicants have far more than just a 4-year degree. Some are already agency employees or interns, while others have law-enforcement experience or are military veterans. Bottom line - if you wish to be a Federal criminal investigator you must stand out from the crowd:
· Intern in the agency of your choice. This is a big plus. (To find out about internship opportunities simply call an agency´s local office and ask to speak with a recruiter. Be persistent!)
· Serve in the military - preferably in a law-enforcement capacity - and collect five points Veteran´s preference for Federal employment.
· Learn a foreign language.
· Get local police experience.
· Enter Federal service in a lesser position, say, as a Border Patrol officer, a Customs inspector or a Park Police officer. Being in the Federal service gives you experience and allows you to apply for vacancies that are not announced to the general public.
How did I get in? I was a military veteran with three years active service (Army military police, U.S. and Vietnam) and had two current years of experience as an insurance fraud investigator with a large private firm. Military service gave me an extra 5 points on the written exam, and my job experience allowed me to compete on a more-or-less equal footing with older applicants.
Writing skills: Crucial. Criminal investigator employment tests usually include a writing component. By all means, do everything possible during your college years to become a good writer. Take courses in writing and composition. Visit the University's writing center if you are having difficulties.
Good writing skills are critical to become employed in the Federal service and are necessary for success in law enforcement, whether at the local, State or Federal levels. This cannot be over-emphasized.
Physical fitness: Any Federal job that calls for carrying a gun and making arrests requires that one be in excellent physical condition. Click here for an overview of physical training requirements.
Job location: Most Federal jobs do not guarantee a specific geographical assignment. Generally speaking, unless you are ready and willing to be stationed anywhere in the U.S., do not bother to apply for a Federal job. Even if you "luck out" in your initial assignment, you will probably have to relocate to advance in rank.
Job duties: This is the most important thing to consider. Unlike police departments, differences between Federal jobs are extreme. Find out what employees of Federal agencies really do before you get to the oral interview.
· If all you want to be is a criminal investigator, concentrate on special agent jobs with ATF, FBI, DEA, Customs, Postal Inspection, Air Force OSI, Navy CIS and Defense CIS. Keep in mind that the primary mission of the Secret Service is protection, and that of the Marshal´s Service is court security and prisoner transport.
· On the other hand, if you are also interested in security and protection, look first to the Secret Service and the Dept. of State Diplomatic Security Service.
· If you would like to be posted in another country or to travel internationally, look first to the State Department and any position in the military or Dept. of Defense. If you like to travel within the U.S., try the Secret Service.
· If you like the idea of being a uniformed cop, your best Federal option is the U.S. Park Police.
· If you wish to minimize physical risk, stay away from the Park Police, the Border Patrol or from special agent jobs with ATF, FBI, DEA or Customs.
· If you like the idea of conducting complex white collar investigations, look to the FBI, Customs, E.P.A., IRS, Postal Inspection Service and Defense CIS.
· If you are interested in intelligence work, consider the FBI or the CIA (keep in mind that the CIA does not conduct criminal investigations).
· If you are a hardy person and like the idea of patrolling the outdoors, consider serving as a ranger for the BLM or U.S. Forest Service. If you like the outdoors but want to be a criminal investigator, a good option is with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Salaries: Federal salaries are "capped" by the lowest salary of a U.S. Representative, currently about $150,000. Starting salaries for criminal investigators are in the $40,000 range (FBI is somewhat higher to start, but other agencies catch up within three years.) Inspectors earn considerably less. A "journeyman" Federal criminal investigator - say, five to eight years on the job - currently earns about $85,000. Experienced first-level supervisors make about $100,000 - $130,000, which, because of the cap, is not much less than their bosses.
Criminal investigator retirement benefits are good but inferior to California PERS/public safety. Inspector retirement benefits vary. Gun-carrying inspectors enjoy benefits similar to criminal investigators. Unarmed inspectors are covered by the normal Federal retirement plan, which is mediocre.
Bottom line - if money is your motivator, you will earn more - possibly considrably more - in a local (meaning, California) police department.
Good luck!

Fight against Antibiotic Resistance is in our Hands
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1 out of 10 people contracts hospital infections when receiving healthcare, many of them caused by bacteria increasingly resistant to antibiotics, which are the only means of control.
Therefore, in the scope of the World Hand Hygiene Day, celebrated today, the WHO reminds that washing our hands repeatedly throughout the day is the more efficient way to prevent the propagation of infections, and subsequently to counter the increasing resistance of bacterial microorganisms to antibiotics.
The previsions of the United Nations health agency are somber: in 2050, if nothing is done, about 10 million people will die all over the world with infections caused by resistant bacteria. And according to the Directorate General for Health, Portugal is one of the European Union countries where antibiotics are more used and also where there is greater ignorance about its use.
Therefore, both entities alert us all, as citizens, to adopt the basic hygiene habit of washing hands regularly throughout the day, especially in critical moments: before eating, after going to the bathroom or travelling by public transport, when arriving home after work and when visiting patients interned in hospital (before and after visits).
On the other hand, it is essential to take antibiotics only when adequate and prescribed by a doctor. Antibiotics are destined to treat infections caused by bacteria – not acting on infections caused by virus, like colds and flu, for instance. And some bacteria, when multiplying, suffer mutation becoming resistant to antibiotics, which no longer act on them. Therefore, the more an antibiotic is used, the greater the probability of resistance to its action.
The units of Hospital da Luz network celebrate the World Hand Hygiene Day with initiatives destined to its professionals and citizens in general, with the purpose of sensitizing everyone for the adequate hand hygiene and the correct use of antibiotics.

The Lady Justice Sculpture
- Gilbert E Barrera, Sculptor
The Lady Justice Bronze Sculpture by Gilbert E Barrera. This is an original composition for a lady justice figure worldwide since she was popular 800 BC to 100 BC. She is the only naturally exhibited Lady Justice in a public square in the United States and perhaps further. She was dedicated December 2008. She is on main plaza at the Bexar County Courthouse, downtown San Antonio, Texas. The sculptor Barrera was born a half mile away at Santa Rosa Hospital, and baptized one block away at San Fernando Cathedral, oldest Cathedral in the U.S. Barrera's father Roy Barrera Sr. and brothers and cousins are lawyers at the courthouse. The sculptors name is credited a floor plaque at the foot of the sculpture and its fountain base of 1896.

Joomla Error Messages Visible
Error messages on your Joomla pages? Worse still - perhaps you are seeing a totally blank page. A blank page is just an error but with the error message itself being suppressed by server settings.
Like most people you have done your best to project an air of professionalism with your on-line presence, and you've invested a lot of time and money into your Joomla website. After all this time, effort and investment it is a shame that if your pages show Joomla error messages you may scare away potential customers.

- Perhaps you see the word 'Notice: ' or 'Warning:' followed by a long string of technical mumbo jumbo in your page. You need to get to the bottom of the issue but you don't know where to begin.
- Do you see an error message inside a box with a red header to the effect that
- 403 Error - permission denied, Forbidden
- 404 Error - page not found, view not found
- 500 Error - internal server error
- A totally blank page is also an error. Depending upon your server's PHP settings you may simply see a totally blank page - this is an error with the error message itself being suppressed
There are various places in which you can get help - perhaps you can't wait:
- You may have posted a message in some online help forums - but you really can't wait a week for the backwards and forwards guessing of well meaning people who don't have the right experience or who simply don't have all of the facts.
- You might have been told that you need to change the error reporting level in something called php.ini - but heck, you don't know what that is, where to find it or what you would need to change it to.
- You may have a boss who is all over you telling you 'get this sorted'.

Jette Parker Young Artist Ashley Riches is currently in the midst of rehearsals for Bizet's classic Carmen. 'It is real blockbuster and a wonderful fixture of the art form,' he says of the opera.
'The piece is extraordinary as a theatrical construction', he says. 'It has this persuasive, pulsating, driving narrative that just drags you into it. It really is one of the most entertaining operas.'
Ashley will sing the role of Moralès, opposite Roberto Alagna's Don José. 'Moralès is a soldier driven not by a sense of duty, but by his hormones. He is the first soloist to sing, and really sets the tone for what life is like in a hot, sensuous and sweaty Seville.'
Ashley joined the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme in 2012, making his Royal Opera debut as St. Jacques to Roberto Alagna's Le Cid in the Our Extraordinary World gala. 'It was the stuff of dreams really,' he reflects. 'The Royal Opera House showing the very best of what it does, all executed with such care, such thoughtfulness and just total commitment.'
However, despite a passion for music, a career in opera has not always been on the cards for Ashley. 'My grandpa was a jazz trumpeter for about twenty years before becoming an accountant, and my Mum was the village organist and a singer of the shower variety,' he says casually when asked to describe his musical background. 'I played the flute and piano to quite a high standard, and only joined the choir at 15 as it seemed to be part of the deal with a music college', he explains.
It wasn't until he went to study English at Cambridge University, joining the King's College Choir, that he began to take singing more seriously. 'It was an extraordinary three years for me,' he explains. We rehearsed for about 20 hours a week so it was a real lesson in dedication and collaboration. Music stopped being a hobby and I started to consider it as a potential profession.'
Over the course of the three years, Ashley performed in two operas, Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel and Mozart's Don Giovanni. 'Performing Don Giovanni in second year was a life-changing experience for me, and the reason I chose to follow the operatic path,' he explains. 'It was the first real opportunity I had to work at constructing a role and stitching together music and theatre to feel how the two elements work together.'
He went on to study with Robert Dean at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, winning a scholarship for the opera course. Now, one year in to the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme, he has performed on the Main Stage alongside the likes of Bryan Hymel, Angela Gheorghiu and Jonas Kaufmann.
'There is an enormous amount of impressive work that goes on here,' he says, 'and to see the very best in the world in the rehearsal room, on good and bad days, is extraordinary. Knowing just how much dedication and hard work goes into performing some atrociously difficult things has been a real inspiration.'
Following Carmen, Ashley will perform in Turandot, L'Ormindo, La traviata, Dialogues des Carmélites and Ariadne auf Naxos.
The Jette Parker Young Artists Programme is supported by Oak Foundation. Find out more about the programme.

Walkthroughs for quests from the Oblivion plugin Knights of the Nine Revelation.
Recovering the Crusader's Relics
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC Ltd"I should search the debris field to see if anything else was sucked in to Gareth's portal."
This quest is started by picking up the Cuirass of the Crusader which is next to Ovidius who is beside the pool where you enter Cyrod after being sucked through the portal in Raid on Castle Relleis. You must find all the Crusader's Relics which are scattered on the ground in the vicinity of the pool where you landed. They all have quest markers on the local map to get you into the right vicinity, but they may be hard to see on the ground due to being hidden by plants. They all appear to be somewhat the worse for wear, and no longer have the effect they originally did, and will therefore require a bit of fixing up to get them in full working order again.
Once they have all been recovered, this completes this quest and starts the quest Reforging the Crusader's Relics.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC LtdLiberate Vindasel
This quest starts after you ask the human Ovidius who is standing by the pool where you enter Cyrod about Vindasel.
"A group of Alessian soldiers are trying to liberate Vindasel and free the slaves within. I should try to assist them."
Travel north to the Ayleid city of Vindasel. Outside are a dead Ayleid Soldier and a dead Alessian Soldier. Enter Vindasel, which is not in ruins as it is in the Third Era. There are Ayleid and Alessian Soldiers fighting throughout the city. It is possible for the Alessians to be killed, except for Captain Donnato who can't. At a decent enough level, the Ayleid Soldiers are not too difficult to defeat. Once all the Ayleid Soldiers are killed, your quest log updates.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC Ltd"I've helped the Alessian soldiers defeat all the Ayleids in Vindasel. I should free the slaves now."
You must now free all the slaves from their cages. Once done so, you log updates again.
"All the Ayleid soldiers have been dispatched and the slaves have been freed. Vindasel has now been liberated."
You could, if you like, free the slaves first and then defeat the Ayleids, but it is easier freeing them without people attacking you. This completes the quest. Go and speak to Captain Donnato about Al-Esh, which starts the quest The Slave Queen.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC LtdLittle Brother
This is a small quest unaffiliated to the main series that is done in the Second Era. It is set in Lower Vanua and some form of water breathing is going to be useful, if not essential.
Lower Vanua is slightly different in layout to the modern Vanua and in slightly better condition. There is no entrance to The Lost Catacombs or the Shrine of the Crusader from here, and an extra room.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC LtdWhen you enter Lower Vanua you are greeted by an Argonian, Swims-With-Fish, who needs your help. Speak to him to find out what he wants.
"I've met an Argonian names Swims-With-Fish who says his little brother is locked inside Vanua South. I should retrieve the key to the lower gate from Swims-With-Fish's desk and escort the youngster out of danger."
He is unable to get in from this side, and he doesn't want to face the other inhabitants by going the other way. You can ask Swims-With-Fish a number of questions, about how to get to his room. His description of his little brother is less than useful to say the least, and the other inhabitants are probably a bit beyond creepy.
The locked gate is accessible from the lower side, but it cannot be opened without the key. Go the other way, defeating any undead encountered, and make your way to a room with a fallen column on the north west side and a stone slab in the centre.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC LtdJump onto the slab, then onto the column and then onto the upper area. This may require a few attempts to accomplish it.
Proceed to another room with several stacks of crates in it. Jump onto the single Crate, then onto the stack of two Battered Crates and then onto the stack of two Battered Crates and two Crates and finally onto the upper area. Make your way along the edges of the room to the other end.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC LtdThere is a Block which opens a nearby wall when pressed. Entering the room revealed by the wall causes your log to update.
"This must be the disused garbage chute that Swims-With-Fish was talking about. I'm not sure if jumping into it is such a good idea."
From here you are going to be underwater for some time, so a water breathing spell or item is a good idea.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC LtdDrop down the chute and at the bottom is another Block. Press it and the wall to the south east opens. Pass through and you are on a balcony above Swims-With-Fish's room. In the room is his pet Slaughterfish, Rocky, will attack you. Swims-With-Fish doesn't seem to be bothered if you kill Rocky, but if you don't feel like killing someone's pet, just withstand the attacks. By the time you are doing this quest, a Saluighterfish is unlikely to pose any sort of threat.
Credit: Lanceor/Bethesda Softworks/eGDC LtdInside the Desk in the room is the Vanua Key, which you need to take, and on a table is an Egg. When you take this, your log updates.
"There's no sign of a young Argonian anywhere, but I have found a very large, leathery egg. Could this be...?"
It appears that Swims-With-Fish's little brother is still rather underdeveloped.
Swim up to the balcony on the opposite side of the room to the side you entered and open the locked gate, then make your way back to Swims-With-Fish who will approach you and take both the key and the egg from you, thanking you and giving you a levelled enchanted piece of jewellery, probably a ring, but other types are possible. This completes the quest.

In India, Sociolinguists become little children in a big candy shop: spoiled for choice. Languages crisscross India like the fabric on a Scottish kilt or the Madras cotton print saris. Languages are like brightly colored stripes that blend into another color when they intersect, then continue merrily alone as they were before. There is little if anything homogeneous about India. It is a bouquet of cultures, classes, and religions. It is a linguistic kaleidoscope. To the visitor, it can be chaotic. This confluence or "sangram" of languages in India means that no Indian will understand the language of all Indians.
Imagine if you were visiting Europe. Each country would have a different language and culture. In India, many states have a different language and culture. So what happens when Indians move or shift as they say to another place in India? What happens when they have to deal with someone from another religion who speaks a different language or dialect? They adjust. Indians are far more sensitive to what linguists call paralinguistic features or body language than most Westerners. Indians are not as limited to language as citizens from a mono-lingual nation. From childhood, they did not always understand what people were saying around them, so they learned to read faces, the tones of a voice, the nod of the head, the windows of the eyes, the quick wave of a hand, or the stance of the body. As children, we were all like this, but Indians needed to keep these skills.
Words don't mean the same thing or have the same value in a multi-lingual society. So when a Westerner trainer or business person works with Indians, they are sometimes under the illusion that their words are doing all the communicating. They forget that the body language is signaling a lot more to the participants who can be confused when the words don't match the body language. Learning doesn't take place in seminars. Ideas are not exchanged in meetings. Directives cannot be obeyed because they weren't understood. The speaker may say, "You're doing a good job," but the body language shows a tightness and insecurity, and the listener isn't sure if the words are true.
Many westerners, especially those who live in urban communities, have lost the instinct to pick up non-verbal signals from others. What can be done? Relax. If you have that peace of mind, then you will give out the right signals. If you are calm, you can pick up non-verbal communication in others and respond accordingly.
Comments are more than welcome. I would like to learn more about this subject from you.

Every day the light dims.
My soul, my spirit is unleashed.
Looking for the light that was lost.
Trying to find the love past all of the hatred.
I search for a way to live,
But grateful I am not.
Today it grows darker.
Realizing love is not, hatred is all.
I lie down, Death eating away at my flesh.
By: BlueFusionX (Age 14)
I can feel my energy fall,
Getting weaker each and every day.
I still remember when I could move freely,
No boundaries in my way.
Trying to reach my uphill destination,
No where to go, no where to hide.
I lie down at rock bottom,
Demons taunting me, laughing at me.
I scream for them to go away.
I get up slowly only to fall back down on my back.
Trapped in an eternal circle of Death,
Darkness overcomes me.
I scream "No!"
Yet I am consumed by the demons that lie beneath.
By: BlueFusionX (Age 14)
Living on the Edge
My feet are pounding,
Trying to reach you.
I risked my life for a chance to see you.
Nothing moves, nothing breathes.
All was killed by the one who lingers here.
Never fear, for I will reach you soon.
Living on the edge, I do my best to resist,
To fight the temptation and fight back.
Look out for me
For we will meet again.
By: BlueFusionX (Age 14)
I look into the sky,
Watching time fly by.
I know not what fate will leave me,
But I know what it left behind.
So far away,
Yet so close.
My spirit is lifted.
I cry down to you.
No reply do I hear.
My spirit descends.
I find you dead on the dusty earth.
I cry out to you,
Hoping that you will come back.
My soul is swiped away by this evil.
I am without a soul
For all eternity.
By: BlueFusionX (Age 14)
