Government of Canada announces investment in women's organization in Winnipeg
News release
August 9, 2019 – Winnipeg, Manitoba – Women and Gender Equality Canada
Women's organizations provide vital services in our communities, supporting women and girls to be financially secure, free from violence, and able to fully participate in all aspects of our economy and society. Yet for far too long they have been chronically underfunded, underestimated and undermined. The Government of Canada recognizes that women's organizations are the lifeblood of the women's movement, and that growing and maintaining these organizations is the most effective way to advance gender equality.
That's why today, Terry Duguid, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South, on behalf of the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister of International Development and Minister for Women and Gender Equality, announced that the Government of Canada is investing $520,000 in the West Central Women's Resource Centre in Winnipeg to help the organization grow, maintain its support to women and families throughout the Winnipeg community, and advance gender equality.
The West Central Women's Resource Centre is one of more than 250 women's organizations and Indigenous organizations serving women across Canada receiving a portion of its funding under the Government of Canada's Capacity-building Fund. This investment stems from the Budget 2018 announcement of $100 million over five years to support a viable and sustainable women's movement across Canada. The remainder of the funding is a result of a Federal-Provincial-Territorial partnership to strategically identify women's organizations in need of capacity funding that have a significant impact on their community.
The Government of Manitoba has also supported the West Central Women's Resource Centre.
"In making this historic investment, we recognize the women and women's organizations that have long been breaking through barriers, and we express our gratitude to them for what has often been decades of important work, on little more than a shoestring budget. For too long, the Canadian women's movement has been asking for a reliable, predictable and accessible source of funds to ensure the sustainability of their work—our government listened. I am proud that now, with stable and flexible funding, we are helping organizations like the West Central Women's Resource Centre to grow and endure, because we know that investing in women's organizations is the most effective way to advance gender equality. By supporting a movement that has achieved amazing results, we are growing the middle class, strengthening families and communities, and creating lasting change that benefits everyone."
The Honourable Maryam Monsef, P.C., M.P.
Minister of International Development and Minister for Women and Gender Equality
"It is a privilege to deliver today's increased funding commitment, building on our partnership with our provincial counterparts here in Manitoba. Governments are most effective when they work together—and when it comes to gender equality, we recognize the urgency. "
Terry Duguid
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Women and Gender Equality
Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South
"Women's organizations and Indigenous organizations serving women make real, tangible differences within our communities across Manitoba. With today's announcement, we intend to demonstrate our continued commitment to supporting the effective resources and solutions that pave the way towards gender equality."
Robert Falcon-Ouellette
Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre
"We are very grateful for this generous funding from the Government of Canada. This kind of investment in our centre allows us to build capacity to further support and empower women and families to move from where they are to where they want to be. When women grow as leaders, they play a key role in building strong and thriving communities. We are committed to continuing this work."
Lorie English, Executive Director
West Central Women's Resource Centre (WCWRC)
Quick facts
Budget 2018 announced $100 million over five years to support a viable and sustainable women's movement across Canada. Adding to this historic investment, Budget 2019 invests a further $160 million over five years, starting in 2019–20, in the Department for Women and Gender Equality's Women's Program. This means that by 2023–24, the Women's Program, which supports eligible organizations to carry out projects to advance gender equality by addressing systemic barriers, will total $100 million annually.
This funding will enable women's organizations and Indigenous organizations serving women to tackle systemic barriers impeding women's progress, while recognizing and addressing the diverse experiences of gender and inequality across the country.
FPT Ministers Responsible for the Status of Women meet annually to share information, exchange best practices and explore issues that affect Canadian women and girls. They also discuss options for mutually beneficial collaboration to support improved social and economic prosperity for women and girls, and to prevent and address violence and abuse against women and girls.

Did you know….goji berries can rejuvenate your internal repair system by boosting stem cell function?
Goji berry, also known as the Chinese wolfberry, has been used for over 5000 years, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This superb healer, raisin-like, shriveled berries grow in the Himalayas in Tibet, Mangolia, and China (mainly in the Ningxia Autonomous Region of China).
Goji berries are rich in protein, 18 amino acids ( 8 of them are essential for life), 22 trace minerals, and they have more carotenoids than carrots!, vitamin B1, B2, B6, vitamin C and E. They high oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), which measures the antioxidant levels of food, making it a true champion.
Goji berries have been proven for use as a….
The available, current research has earned it the STEM CELL STIMULANT property!
Why We Need Healthy Stem Cells
Stem cells are integral to your body's ability to repair itself. They can divide without limit and either form new stem cells or morph into specialized cells like muscle cells and brain cells. You can enhance stem cell function in a number of ways.
Such as keeping yourself active helps to turn your stem cells into cartilage and bone cells. It is beneficial to avoid, over the counter-prescription drugs, turn to healthy diet, as it is the ultimate manipulator of boosting stem cell activity. Stay away from calories and sugar for a start, and I would recommend you to have goji berries, as they increase stem cells exponentially.
The Stem Cell Stimulant
Researcher in China, have found that, goji berries supplementation to the diet, proliferated stem cell and other monocytes (they are kind of white blood cell good for your immune function) in bone marrow.
According to a different study, published in the Journal of Translational Medicine proves that goji berries might increase blood circulation of endothelial progenitor cells and hematopoietic stem cells that help to repair blood vessels.
It was confirmed that goji berries in combination of other immune-enhancing nutrients, could help treat Alzheimer's disease and other conditions that were affected due to decrease in stem cells.

8 Hints and Tips to Make a Super Snowman
Britain is due for heavy snowfall this month according to several news sources. Here at JoJoFun, we believe every snow cloud has a super-fun lining, so for this week's blog post we've put together 8 hints and tips for building snowmen! If it snows where you are, we hope it's snowman-building snow!
1. Select a shaded place to build your snowman. It's best to choose a partially protected area such as under a tree, in order to protect the snowman from the weather.
2. Snowballs are like bricks in snowman building - they're what you put the snowman together with. Make big snowballs by making a snowball with your hands, then rolling it around on the ground so it collects more snow. The more you roll it, the more snow will be collected, until eventually you have a huge snowball the size you want.
3. Start from the bottom up. Make your snowman like a building - from the foundation! Roll together a huge ball of snow for the base, then smaller balls for the body and head.
4. Choose the right snow. Snowman-building snow is not too powdery, and not too icey. It's said that snow that falls at 0° C is best. If the snow is too dry, try spraying it with a little water.
5. What to choose for the mouth and eyes? Failing the classic pieces of coal, try differently sized rocks and pebbles. Carve out the shape of the eyes and mouth with a stick first and then insert rocks and pebbles. This way they won't fall off later.
6. Try different fruits for the nose. What will you choose? A carrot, an apple, a tangerine? Experiment!
7. Add a scarf and hat. This is what makes a snowman look 'pro'! Be sure not to use any clothing that you care about, as it's bound to get wet and weathered!
8. Take a picture before the weather changes!
Note: When it snows, always follow the safety guidelines of the local weather report. Don't go out in dangerous weather. Only try out the tips listed in this blog post if it's safe to go out and be sure to wrap up well!

Dangling Tilda in Hot Colours with Stitching
I've done an unusual (for me) thing here and combined three challenges in the one card!
I hope it works.......! LOL!
Just Magnolia
has asked that we use 'hot and spicy' colours (...well, I presume they don't mean Tilda in a basque and fishnets anyway...!). So, I'm already out of my comfort zone!
Next, Colour Throwdown have given us a pallete of Tangerine, Olive, Mocha, Saffron and Sky blue so I've used that pallette to the best of my ability!
Finally, but certainly not least, Polkadoodles wants us to use some kind of sewing so I've included cross-stitch in my design.
I enjoyed using my K&Co papers and my Wild Orchid flowers as well as my lovely Dangling Tilda and I think my fishing 'spinner' worked well I actually had another image of Tilda on the back of the main one so when it turns, you still get Tilda!
I am, however, totally in love with Tim Holtz's new Sizzix dies! They are wonderful! They're not only a good size and deep but the 'mat' style ones ( the one behind Tilda is called Baroque) are also magnetic and so I've found you can use the small magnetic aperture dies within them, so altering your mats at the same time! I've also cut all kinds of materials with them including CDs! Marvellous! I can see loads of possibilities with them!
I have another post to make so see you in a minute..........

"Optimal management combining early mobilization, a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, and early aggressive rehabilitation might have saved Lincoln," he writes. "However, it could not have restored his neurological function to normal. At best, he would have been left with several permanent neurological deficits," such as lack of impulse control, partial paralysis, and problems with speaking and writing.

Motsoeneng's failed court bid strips him of SABC COO position
Hlaudi Motsoeneng will report for duty on Tuesday as an ordinary employee at the SABC (South African Broadcast Corporation) but not as the organisation's COO (Chief Operations Officer).
This comes after the SCA (Supreme Court of Appeal) dismissed his application for leave to appeal a High Court ruling in Cape Town that his appointment was invalid.
702's John Robbie spoke to EWN reporter, Stephen Grootes, about what we can expect from the embattled Motsoeneng who has described himself as the "engine room" of the public broadcaster.
The African National Congress (ANC) and the SA Communist Party (SACP) have called for his removal, with the Democratic Alliance's Gavin Davis (DA) leading the campaign against him in Parliament and in the courts.
Motsoeneng's attorney, Zola Majavu, says his client can no longer call himself the SABC's chief operating officer, but Motsoeneng will still report for duty.Stephen Grootes, EWN reporter

the couple is still rated as good match teeth in Vietnam, sugar or dental use. But there are unfortunate pregnant mothers who can't keep up and make it with solutions that loosen their mouths or brush their customers' teeth that have been turned to their previous teeth to prevent bad influences that need braces to resolve. . But there are many people who give iron discoloration that can be used. But the first thing to feel is that the products that braces in pregnancy are wrong and not good. So is this really the case or before starting a conversation without whitening products? But usually, for snoring for patients when saliva, this is not enough to get this disease.

Face deformation and imbalance affect the aesthetics.
Bring your state still with the application of implant restoration method to solve it. It will address the state of your tooth loss, limit bone loss and restore your chewing function as well as form aesthetic mold your mouth. Saigon Vietnam dental implants

Will Entergy learn anything from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan?
Entergy, the company trying to continue running dangerous old nuclear plants like Vermont Yankee, Indian Point in New York, and Pilgrim in Massachsusetts, is holding their annual shareholder meeting today. We sent them a letter highlighting the risks of these old plants, and questioning if the company has learned anything from the nuclear disaster in Japan...

for a bit about Entergy on this blog go here
Chernobyl. Fukushima. Indian Point?
A team with radiation monitoring equipment highlight the threat to millions of people from New York's Indian Point nuclear plant. 17 million people live within 50 miles of Indian Point, an old nuclear plant in an active seismic zone just north of New York City. If an accident or terrorist attack led to a catastrophic release of radiation, evacuation would be impossible. Nationwide, 1 in 3 Americans live within 50 miles of a nuclear plant. Greenpeace is calling for the shut down of the Indian Point nuclear plant, and the replacement of dangerous nuclear power with safe solutions like renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Doctors need to confront the nuclear industry!
...physicists talk convincingly about "permissible doses" of radiation. They consistently ignore internal emitters — radioactive elements from nuclear power plants or weapons tests that are ingested or inhaled into the body, giving very high doses to small volumes of cells. They focus instead on generally less harmful external radiation from sources outside the body, whether from isotopes emitted from nuclear power plants, medical X-rays, cosmic radiation or background radiation that is naturally present in our environment. - Dr. Helen Caldicott
Unsafe at Any Dose
Op-ed by Dr. Helen Caldicott
In a stellar op-ed in the May 1st edition of the New York Times, renowned pediatrician and anti-nuclear activist, Dr. Helen Caldicott, calls on doctors to act against nuclear power.
As she writes: "There's no group better prepared than doctors to stand up to the physicists of the nuclear industry." The article concludes: "Physicists had the knowledge to begin the nuclear age. Physicians have the knowledge, credibility and legitimacy to end it." Read the full article. Dr. Caldicott is the founding president of Beyond Nuclear and currently heads the Helen Caldicott Foundation for a Nuclear-Free Planet.

Unsafe at Any Dose
By HELEN CALDICOTT
Sydney, Australia
SIX weeks ago, when I first heard about the reactor damage at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan, I knew the prognosis: If any of the containment vessels or fuel pools exploded, it would mean millions of new cases of cancer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Many advocates of nuclear power would deny this. During the 25th anniversary last week of the Chernobyl disaster, some commentators asserted that few people died in the aftermath, and that there have been relatively few genetic abnormalities in survivors' offspring. It's an easy leap from there to arguments about the safety of nuclear energy compared to alternatives like coal, and optimistic predictions about the health of the people living near Fukushima.
But this is dangerously ill informed and short-sighted; if anyone knows better, it's doctors like me. There's great debate about the number of fatalities following Chernobyl; the International Atomic Energy Agency has predicted that there will be only about 4,000 deaths from cancer, but a 2009 report published by the New York Academy of Sciences says that almost one million people have already perished from cancer and other diseases. The high doses of radiation caused so many miscarriages that we will never know the number of genetically damaged fetuses that did not come to term. (And both Belarus and Ukraine have group homes full of deformed children.)
Nuclear accidents never cease. We're decades if not generations away from seeing the full effects of the radioactive emissions from Chernobyl.
As we know from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it takes years to get cancer. Leukemia takes only 5 to 10 years to emerge, but solid cancers take 15 to 60. Furthermore, most radiation-induced mutations are recessive; it can take many generations for two recessive genes to combine to form a child with a particular disease, like my specialty, cystic fibrosis. We can't possibly imagine how many cancers and other diseases will be caused in the far future by the radioactive isotopes emitted by Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Doctors understand these dangers. We work hard to try to save the life of a child dying of leukemia. We work hard to try to save the life of a woman dying of metastatic breast cancer. And yet the medical dictum says that for incurable diseases, the only recourse is prevention. There's no group better prepared than doctors to stand up to the physicists of the nuclear industry.
Still, physicists talk convincingly about "permissible doses" of radiation. They consistently ignore internal emitters — radioactive elements from nuclear power plants or weapons tests that are ingested or inhaled into the body, giving very high doses to small volumes of cells. They focus instead on generally less harmful external radiation from sources outside the body, whether from isotopes emitted from nuclear power plants, medical X-rays, cosmic radiation or background radiation that is naturally present in our environment.
However, doctors know that there is no such thing as a safe dose of radiation, and that radiation is cumulative. The mutations caused in cells by this radiation are generally deleterious. We all carry several hundred genes for disease: cystic fibrosis, diabetes, phenylketonuria, muscular dystrophy. There are now more than 2,600 genetic diseases on record, any one of which may be caused by a radiation-induced mutation, and many of which we're bound to see more of, because we are artificially increasing background levels of radiation.
For many years now, physicists employed by the nuclear industry have been outperforming doctors, at least in politics and the news media. Since the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, physicists have had easy access to Congress. They had harnessed the energy in the atom, and later physicists, whether lobbying for nuclear weapons or nuclear energy, had the same power. They walk into Congress and Congress virtually prostrates itself. Their technological advancements are there for all to see; the harm will become apparent only decades later.
Doctors, by contrast, have fewer dates with Congress, and much less access on nuclear issues. We don't typically go around discussing the latent period of carcinogenesis and the amazing advances made in understanding radiobiology. But as a result, we do an inadequate job of explaining the long-term dangers of radiation to policymakers and the public.
When patients come to us with cancer, we deem it rude to inquire if they lived downwind of Three Mile Island in the 1980s or might have eaten Hershey's chocolate made with milk from cows that grazed in irradiated pastures nearby. We tend to treat the disaster after the fact, instead of fighting to stop it from happening in the first place. Doctors need to confront the nuclear industry.
Nuclear power is neither clean, nor sustainable, nor an alternative to fossil fuels — in fact, it adds substantially to global warming. Solar, wind and geothermal energy, along with conservation, can meet our energy needs.
At the beginning, we had no sense that radiation induced cancer. Marie Curie and her daughter didn't know that the radioactive materials they handled would kill them. But it didn't take long for the early nuclear physicists in the Manhattan Project to recognize the toxicity of radioactive elements. I knew many of them quite well. They had hoped that peaceful nuclear energy would absolve their guilt over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but it has only extended it. Physicists had the knowledge to begin the nuclear age. Physicians have the knowledge, credibility and legitimacy to end it.
Helen Caldicott, a founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, is the author of "Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer."
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: May 4, 2011 - An Op-Ed essay on Sunday, about the health effects of radiation, imprecisely described the accomplishments of the Manhattan Project. In producing an atomic bomb, the project used fission, which splits the atom, not fusion, the process that occurs in the sun when atoms fuse together.

I've put up with the terrible coffee that our office coffee robot makes for far too long. Just so you can place me on the coffee spectrum, I work in Seattle and care about good coffee, but I won't refuse to drink Starbucks or bad office coffee. At home, I make good coffee, usually using an aeropress.
Visual approximation of coffee robot:
I decided this year, that I'd had enough of that horrible coffee robot coffee, but I also wanted the slowest, most meticulous process for making my morning office coffee. You get more of a placebo effect if your "medicine" is harder to prepare, and I also want to keep myself from over-indulging. Also, I figure if preparing my coffee this way ever feels like too much work, there are lots of steps I can take before going back to the arms of the abusive coffee robot.
So I settled on a Kalita Wave pour over... uh, device, and a hand burr grinder, for stealth, cost effectiveness, and exercise. Pretentious level 5000!
My first attempt went badly. I was lazy and ground the coffee on the most coarse setting and then poured an entire cup's worth of hot water over the beans at once (the user manual is only in Japanese). The water went right through and the result did not even approximate coffee. Damn.
Undeterred (well, maybe a little deterred), I set my grinder to a finer setting and googled how the hell to make pour over coffee. It took a little longer to grind at this setting, but not too bad. Maybe 2 minutes? I followed the instructions this time, letting the coffee "bloom" and adding less water at a time.
The result? Awesome! It was a fantastic cup of coffee that is way better than the robot makes and even better than the very good coffee shop in our building, but mostly because I chose beans that I like better.
Once I stop making mistakes, this method will only take about 5 minutes, which is faster than going to the coffee shop and really not that bad. I have zero complaints about the taste and would gladly pay $5 for a cup that tastes like this.
I'll finish out the bag of beans this way, but I can see going even further into pretentiousness and getting a scale and then possibly my own kettle. Goose-neck, obviously.

Tortellini Soup With Chicken and Spinach
Looking for a delicious soup that is quick and easy to make? The idea for this soup came from my sister's friend. But as with most things I make, I can't leave well enough alone. Having made a few changes, here is the simple recipe for a great meal in a bowl. This is so good, it's a must try!
1 lb. boneless chicken breast tenders
2 32 oz. cartons of chicken broth
2 cups water
1 large onion, peeled and left whole
1 clove of garlic, peeled and left whole
1 pkg. fresh spinach
3 or 4 carrots, shredded or sliced thin, your choice
1 pkg. (I used 19 oz.) frozen cheese tortellini
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a frying pan. Season the chicken tenders with your favorite seasoning. Today I used Emeril's Original Essence. It's a good all purpose seasoning to use for just about anything. Season the chicken liberally and brown it well on both sides. Remove to a plate to cool.In a large soup pot, pour in the two cartons of chicken broth and water, add the whole onion and garlic clove, and the sliced or shredded carrots, cover, cook slowly and allow the onion and garlic to become soft. In the meantime, shred the cooled chicken into bite sized pieces.
When the onion and garlic are nice and soft, remove and discard them. The idea here is to flavor the broth but not have any pieces of onion or garlic floating around in your finished soup. Add the shredded chicken, spinach and tortellini. Give it a gentle stir, cover and let it simmer through until the spinach is all wilted and the tortellini are nice and soft, just a few minutes. Some of the Emeril's Essence will come off the chicken and will flavor the soup such that you won't have to add any extra salt, pepper or any other seasonings. How easy is that?
Serve in big bowls and offer a sprinkling of Parmesan if you like. From start to finish you can have this on the table in less than an hour. This is a keeper.
Enjoy! - Beth

VMware Aligns Business Mobility Offerings In India
BENGALURU: VMware, Inc., a global leader in cloud infrastructure and business mobility, today reiterated its strategy to help customers in India realise the benefits of Business Mobility and transform their business processes. The company's strategy aims to free businesses from more than a decade of client-server focused IT – which enabled mobile access to a limited number of productivity applications – and now deliver a more user- and application-centric experience.
The total addressable enterprise mobility solutions industry in Asia Pacific, which includes applications, devices, security, middleware, and professional services, is expected to grow from US$22B in 2015 to US$26.7B by 2017. The market in India is also slated to grow from US$1.7B in 2015 to US$2.3B in 2017 over the same period.
"With Indian organisations paying close attention to the future of business processes in the mobile-cloud era, we believe that India is on the cusp of the next major technology wave in Asia Pacific," said Sanjay Deshmukh, general manager, Business Mobility, VMware APJ. "With a new generation of smartphone-powered workers who have easier access to end-user devices and network connectivity, businesses here are prioritising and reorienting themselves around mobile innovation, apps and services."
"The Asia Pacific market for mobility is in very early stages, with 80 percent of organisations ill-equipped to harness 3rd platform technologies, including Mobility, Cloud, Social and Big Data Analytics, to compete in the market," said Charles Reed Anderson, Head of Mobility and IoT, IDC Asia Pacific. "We see the next 18 months as a critical period for companies to accelerate efforts and investment in the enterprise mobility space. Companies are currently placing too much emphasis on devices and BYOD. Our recommendation is that businesses increase their investments in security, middleware and infrastructure, to enable better competitive innovation."
VMware offers a unified hybrid cloud platform that creates business innovation, new business models and delivers new applications instantly and securely to internal and external customers on any device.
"Today, we believe that VMware is the clear leader in business mobility, with a comprehensive portfolio of solutions that will enable organisations to adopt true business process transformation, satisfy their employees' business needs and drive business agility," Deshmukh added.

There is a famous quote: "Sow a thought, and you reap an act; Sow an act, and you reap a habit; Sow a habit, and you reap a character; Sow a character, and you reap a destiny." But, how can we use this advice to help us with our day-to-day work tasks? I'll tell you. Take one small act and turn it into a habit that allows us to use our character strengths. This new habit can change the way we feel at work, and we have the number to prove it.
Polls have shown that 87% of employees report that they are not engaged at work. And, there are many research studies on character strengths and work that reveal employees who use their character strengths more at work are likely to be happier employees, more productive, and report their work is a calling in life. And, there are tested interventions with employees using the VIA Survey and their signature strengths .
Making a small change in your behavior sounds so straightforward. Yet many people are so overwhelmed at work that even when they understand how developing their strengths will make their job easier and more enjoyable, they lack the daily mental space and energy to start. Quite simply, it's easy to get lost in autopilot mode and daily habits.
So, why not take advantage of our human nature to be habit-focused?
Research has shown that we can create positive habits or virtuous circles in which one positive can lead to another, for example mindful awareness (link is external) leading to strengths use which leads to deeper mindfulness and on to savvy strengths use.
Why not get your own virtuous circle started and create a positive habit?
Michelle McQuaid, the VIA Institute's lead consultant for business practices, suggests a daily, 11-minute "busy-proof" habit. Here are the 3 steps:
- Cue: choose a 30 second cue
- Routine: create a 10 minute routine
- Reward: give yourself a 30 second reward
Example #1:
- Cue (for the character strength of humor): Turning on my computer to start my day.
- Routine: Watch 10 minutes of a funny video online
- Reward: Take my first sip of coffee
Example #2:
- Cue (for the character strength of appreciation of beauty): Walking my dog
- Routine: Take pictures and short videos of nature
- Reward: Either sit on a bench to savor 1 photo OR post a picture on Instagram.
People found this intervention to be practically useful and valuable. Therefore, in August 2015, McQuaid and the VIA Institute tested it on a larger scale by inviting employees around the world to take part in a Strengths Challenge. More than 2,000 people across 65 different countries created a one-week, 11-minute, character strength habit. Here are the results!
- 41% improved their ability to name their own strengths.
- 60% became better at setting weekly strength-based goals.
- 41% improved their feeling of having the opportunity to do what they did best each day.
- 39% improved the likelihood of having a meaningful strengths conversation with their supervisor.
- 32% felt their organization was more committed to developing their strengths.
- In summary, numerous additional benefits included: greater flourishing, engagement, and feeling valued, energized, and like they were making a difference.
The good news is this global strengths challenge will be offered free again, starting on February 8th 2016. If you, or the people you work with, would like to try out this 11-minute strengths habit and bring your character strengths to work, go to www.strengthschallenge.com.

Wear the type of socks you'll wear with your shoes and measure feet in the afternoon (feet typically swell during the day). Distribute weight evenly before measuring.
Step 1
Stand up straight on a hard surface with your heel against the wall and a piece of blank paper taped to the floor, flush against the wall beneath your foot.
Step 2
Have someone mark the longest part of your foot on the paper with a pen or pencil, or measure yourself if necessary. Repeat with the other foot, as right and left sizes may be different.
Step 3
Use a ruler to measure the length you marked for each foot.
Helpful tips:
- The heel-to-toe length, listed in both inches (IN) and centimeters (CM) on the sizing chart, is the ideal foot length for the respective size.
- Here's an example: if your foot measures to be 25.9 CM then you would probably want to get a size 8 in our shoes since a size 7 will only comfortably accommodate a foot length of 25.5 CM.
- Don't worry, we do offer returns and exchanges and are always willing to answer any questions to help make sure you get the perfect size.

I have set up Southbound Gateway before in the past with success. I am setting it up again but I am not seeing my traps processed on EventModel or EventAdmin models. It appears as though Spectrum is ignoring my alertmap and eventdisp files I created and edited. I checked the files and they are placed in the correct location <SPECROOT>/custom/Events/gen_app_gw/EventAdmin. They have proper syntax. I have reloaded events on the VNM model, and restarted SpectroSERVER. Why is my SBGW not working?
If files are saved in Notepad or Wordpad or similar text editor, the text editor will append the file with an extension. The default extension for Windows Notepad and Wordpad is *.txt
Spectrum cannot read flat files used for processing events if they are appended with an extension. Thus Spectrum cannot read "alertmap.txt" or "eventdisp.txt"
Windows environment
Version agnostic (affects all versions)
Check if Windows Extensions are hidden. If Extensions are hidden, it is difficult to tell by filename if the file is saved with an extension.
Go to any Explorer window and go to View menu. You will see option to enable Extensions on the right. With Extensions enabled, check your alertmap and eventdisp files and verify they are NOT appended with an extension. If they are, remove the extension. Reload Events on VNM model and test SBGW integration again.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc said it has begun testing its self-driving cars on city streets, a crucial new phase in its quest to eventually make the technology a standard feature in automobiles.
After several years of testing self-driving cars on freeways, where driving conditions are more predictable, Google in the past year shifted its focus to city street driving, the company said in a post on its official blog on Monday.
Google said it has driven thousands of miles on the streets of Mountain View, California, a small suburban community where the company maintains its headquarters roughly 35 miles South of San Francisco. Google's driverless cars rely on video cameras, radar sensors, lasers and a database of information collected from manually driven cars to help navigation, according to the company.
"A mile of city driving is much more complex than a mile of freeway driving, with hundreds of different objects moving according to different rules of the road in a small area," wrote Chris Urmson, the director of Google's self-driving car project in the blog post on Monday.
"We've improved our software so it can detect hundreds of distinct objects simultaneously - pedestrians, buses, a stop sign held up by a crossing guard, or a cyclist making gestures that indicate a possible turn," Urmson said.
Google is one of several companies, including automakers Nissan Motor Co, Volkswagen AG's Audi and Toyota Motor Corp, testing self-driving car technology. Both Nissan and Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler AG say they plan to start selling self-driving cars by 2020.
It is unclear whether Google, the world's No.1 Internet search engine, intends to partner with other companies or develop its own self-driving vehicles.
The company posted a video that depicted how a self-driving car views the world as it navigates. here
Google's test cars have logged more than 700,000 miles in self-driving mode since 2009. Google said its cars have not caused any accidents while operating in self-drive mode.
Google said it still has many "problems to solve," including teaching the car to drive more streets in Mountain View, before testing on the streets of another town.

Crafting an argument in your thesis means to clarify what you claim in the text and why. You need to state the reasons for your claims.
The argumentation consists of reasoning with the following elements
- A claim; that which you argue in favour of
- An argument; that which you argue with
- A statement that links the claim to the argument
The statement that links the claim with the argument enables your reader to understand why the argument functions and is often referred to as the warrant.
Your argumentation is the engine in your text. What would you like to communicate? What is the key point in your thesis, and how will you craft your arguments? The point of departure when building an argument is your research question. There is something you would like to investigate. The text you are working on is also related to other texts. From your searches earlier you have chosen sources and taken a stand on which texts are important for your work. Can you indicate what you expect to find in your investigation? The next step is to consider how to structure your arguments.
The structure of argumentation
Toulmin's model on argumentation consists of six parts:
1. Claim
The claim is where you present a preliminary and possible conclusion on your research question; you present the work that lies ahead, and what you expect to find. The claim can be anticipated in your formulation of a research question, in hypotheses, in the introduction, or in partial conclusions. Your final claim will be central in your conclusion and is often presented in your closing.
What is your claim?
2. Argument(s)
Argument(s) may be based on empirical documentation, references to authorities in the field, or other sources (such as historical sources, experiments, interviews, surveys, statistics, photos, maps). The arguments are evidences for the claim.
What are your arguments in the thesis? How do you ground your claim? What are you reasoning with?
3. Research method(s)
The link between an argument and a claim is sometimes known as a warrant. Another word we use is research method (Rienecker, 2012, p.312). Research method(s) are the analytical methods you consider expedient to apply to your claims and your arguments. Make sure that there is a connection between your theory, method and empirical data.
Which research method(s) do you plan to use to test out your research question and claim? Which theoretical perspective will you apply in your thesis?
4. Counterargument
A counterargument is a critical reading of the research method you have chosen. Here you can point out limitations, and possible weaknesses in the research method. Be explicit as to whether you have reservations regarding the method, and if there are elements of uncertainty concerning the method as such, or the practical use of it.
Do you see any weaknesses in the method you have chosen? Can the use of this method be questionable, if so, in which way?
5. Backing
Backing is the elements that support the research method you have chosen. Backing can be found in scholarly works that have applied the same method, from authorities in the field, or from other facts that can justify the method.
Which elements support your research method? Why do you choose to use this method in spite of the possible limitations you have pointed to?
6. Qualifier
The qualifier is used to propose the degree of certainty you mark the claim with. This is where you make reservations, and point to conditions that must be present to make the claim valid.
To which extent is your claim certain, probable, or possible?
Ask questions to your own text:
- What is your claim?
- Which are your arguments, and how will you document your claim?
- What kind of research methods are you using?

Frugal Village: Keep cleaning, baking supplies handy, plus other reader tips to make life easier
Save time and effort by keeping things close at hand. For example, rather than storing your cleaning products all lined up on a shelf, you can create a cleaning-kit caddy or two. This makes it easy to carry supplies room to room or store the caddy in the room in which you use it. Gathering baking supplies can be time-consuming, too. Another solution is to store your baking supplies together. One reader, Janice G., from Washington, shares: "Buy three large, clear plastic tubs (40 quarts). Label them "Cookies," "Cake" and "Pie." Then put into each tub all the supplies and utensils relating to that category. Baking is a snap now when the grandkids come and bring out one plastic tub. I use a closet near the kitchen to store the tubs. It clears out the kitchen and makes it so easy to find things." The next reader tip shares another idea:
Central closet: I don't mind washing, drying or folding laundry, but I hate putting it away. What if all the clothes for a household were stored in one central closet, in or attached to the laundry room? I think I'd love it. I could put a three-way mirror in there and a screen to change behind. You wouldn't need closets or dressers in bedrooms, resulting in fewer surfaces to dust and less furniture to clean around. If we add on to this house I'm considering leaving a small 'bedroom' to use this way. – Constance, New Jersey
Shop around: Today I was at a big-name hardware store and bought two solar lights. Later, I went to a dollar store and found small solar lights for a dollar. I bought 10 for what I paid for two at the hardware store. It's nice to have the walkway lighted. – Marla, West Virginia
Office lunch tips: I'm a really big fan of making huge containers full of prepped lettuce, rinsed, chopped and ready to go. I do five on Sunday and then every morning I just have to make another small container for whatever topping I feel like for the day (tuna, chicken, nuts, feta, etc.). It works so well and is delicious! – Annie, forums
I like making a basic pasta salad, then adding things to make it different each day. This is a good recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/pasta-salad-for-lunch-this-week-361789. I also keep some instant soups and other healthy snacks or lunch items in the office for those days when I am too busy at home. One of my favorites is instant miso soup that I get from the Asian market in various flavors and for reasonable cost. A cup of that satisfies me quite well – at the very least it reduces what I might need to buy if I really am stuck. I try to plan dinner so that there is something left for lunch the next day. If I pack it as I am cleaning up after dinner, I am much more likely to take it with me to work the next day. – Saule, Illinois
I like packing items that I can pick at all day in case I don't get to sit down to lunch: grapes, croutons, veggies, a variety of canned fruits, crackers or tortillas cut into triangle pieces. I make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a week ahead. I have been doing this with great success. I wrap each one in foil, throw it in the freezer and it's fresh as the day I made it by the time lunch rolls around. No sogginess at all! Very easy to grab and go. I use a hearty whole wheat bread which fills me up more than the white fluffy breads. – Peggy, Colorado

3 Tips for a Happy Immune System
Fall Health and Wellness
Have you ever noticed that a cold likes to kick in right after a very busy and stressful time? Like right before a holiday or a vacation? That cold couldn't have picked a more inconvenient time!
When we're burning the candle at both ends and we're busy, busy, busy, our immune system gets depressed. Our body is working so hard to help us get through that stressful time that it needs to prioritize the energy available, so it takes a bit away from the immune system.
After the stress is over and we take that big, relaxing deep breath, our immune system comes back into full strength and finds a new visitor—a virus. That virus has been hanging out and replicating during that busy time…and now we're sick. Achoo!
But! There are some things we can do while we're busy that can help our immune system find rogue viruses and bacteria right away, so we can skip all of those nasty cold & flu symptoms. Yay! 3 ways to keep your immune system happy every day:
1. Rest, relaxation, and meditation: Your immune system comes back into its full strength every time you're in a relaxed state. That could be at night while you're sleeping, during a quiet evening of fun with your family, or in meditation. Every minute of relaxation makes your immune system very happy.
If you struggle to relax and you find your worries and to-do list constantly running through your head, try a guided meditation. They're usually short (5 -15 minutes) and can give you something to focus on. They're a really helpful tool to train your brain to relax. There are so many free apps and videos online, a quick search will strike some relaxation gold!
2. Enjoy lots of nutrients: A nutrient-dense diet can bring strength back to your immune system. Enjoy lots of fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and other delicious plant-based foods. Focus on adding these foods to your diet and let them squish out the less-than-healthy processed foods.
3. Elderberry to the rescue! This superfood is so simple, yet effective. It's very high in anthocyanins, which are a family of potent antioxidants that can bind to viruses, stopping them in their tracks.
Elderberry can also help you if you do get sick. Research has found that it can reduce both the severity of your symptoms and the duration of your flu. Elderberry even helps clear out your lungs if you get a stubborn cough.
With just a bit of support, your immune system can keep you happy and healthy all year long!

Healthy nuts consist of at least 7 typical nuts that are useful to your health but not kola nuts. You may wonder about this nut type if it is in the list of healthy nuts. The reality, kola nuts are not mentioned as much as other nuts in food using. However the kola nuts are interested by the other fields with their special value.
If the healthy nuts show you clearly about the nutrients in food using, kola nuts are not. They are although still mentioned mostly as an element of medicine or as an element in soft drinks. Kola nuts contain caffeine and they may help people who can restore their strength, reduce the hunger, the thirst. They also help people to prevent some disease typically such as dysentery.
Kola nuts and story
As any type of nuts and seeds, kola nuts have the certain typical features related to human history. It is considered that kola nuts were used in the ancient time but in some areas in the world. They were not used in the widen area in the world such as other nuts or seeds or grains. However, they influenced certainly to people living in the area where the kola plant existed.
In the 19th century, the first time in the history, kola extract was combined with other elements to become the first cola soft drink. The person who marked this event was a pharmacist in Georgia. This very famous detail is always reminded in the story of kola nuts for years.
Furthermore in the war time in the past, it was said that kola nuts were used by the soldiers on African battlefields because kola nuts may help them to be stronger, reduce thirst status and prevent the dysentery.
Related to culture
Kola nuts are mentioned popularly in West African cultures. They play very important role in traditional spiritual life of people living here. Kola nuts are presented in most of life events of them such as naming ceremonies, ancestor veneration, weddings, funerals and many other events.
Typically in Nigeria where the kola plants strongly grow, kola nuts are considered the symbol of hospitality, friendship and respect.
Kola nuts today
Kola plants are grown now in West Africa and Central Africa. The main areas for kola plants are in Nigeria, Ghana. They are also grown in some places else such as India, Brazil and Jamaica.
Broken down the boundary from West Africa and Central Africa or the limit in local religious ceremonies, kola nuts today are mentioned increasingly and broadly by their benefits to human health. Of course the raw kola nuts or kola nuts products are advised not to use frequently and excessively because there are maybe the disadvantages created in the consuming that may harm the health.

True dwarfs are smaller, have rounder bodies and heads, and make better show bunnies.
If you breed two true dwarf rabbits together, you will get (generally), 50% true dwarf, 25% false dwarf, and 25% peanuts.
What are peanuts?
Peanuts are babies that inherit two dwarf genes. They lack the proper gene to grow, so they wither away within a few days. They basically become TOO dwarfy. They will always die.
This is why I like to breed false to true. You get the same amount of true dwarfs, on average, which is 50%. And that way, you have a higher percentage of all the babies in the litter surviving; you have a higher chance of no fatalities.
I'm planning on showing my little show does, like Cinnamon, once she comes off her litter, and one of Cinnamon's daughters that I plan to keep. Sure, I don't have a buck that I can show, maybe he can't win any legs (awards), but I'd rather have that than 25% of babies that will die per litter.
Wouldn't you?

Your screen is to small to play this online tower defense game.
Nazi invasion? Not in my Mother Russia! Prepare by building factories: factories for money, for guns, for tanks. Build a defensive wall of fire and eliminate any troops foolish enough to enter. Best of Luck!
Do you like to blast towers? If you are in the same mood as us today, then you probably would like to play our free Stalingrad Tower Defense game online.
This game is played with mouse only.
The Battle of Stalingrad (August 23, 1942 - February 2, 1943) was the major battle of World War II in which Nazi Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in the southwestern Soviet Union. The battle is marked by constant close quarters combat and disregard for military and civilian casualties by both sides, it is among the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare. The heavy losses inflicted on the Wehrmacht make it arguably the most strategically decisive battle of the whole war. The Battle of Stalingrad was a turning point in the European theatre of World War II. After their loss at Stalingrad, the German forces never regained the initiative in the East and withdrew vast military force from the West to reinforce their losses.
A tower is a tall structure, usually taller than it is wide, often by a significant margin. A tower is distinguished from a mast by the lack of guy-wires. Towers are generally built to take advantage of their height, and can stand alone on the ground, or as part of a larger structure or device such as a fortified building or as an integral part of a bridge. Towers have been used by mankind since prehistoric times. The oldest known may be the circular stone tower in walls of Neolithic Jericho (8000 BC). Some of ) featured square ones. The Chinese used towers as integrated elements of the Great Wall of China in 210 BC during the Qin Dynasty. Towers were also an important element of castles. Another well known tower is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa, Italy built from 1173 until 1372. The Himalayan Towers are stone towers located chiefly in Tibet built approximately 14th to 15th century.

UK pig prices - week ended 10 December 2016
The EU-spec SPP continued to rise in the week ended 10 December, moving up by 0.27p on the week to reach 151.66p/kg.
This means that the price now stands at over 26p higher than the same week in 2015. The rise has been less sharp than has been seen in recent weeks, partly due to the continuing recovery of the pound. However, firm levels of demand have meant that the price has continued to increase.
There was little change in the estimated slaughterings in the week despite the Christmas period getting closer, with numbers remaining stable at 189 thousand head. This was 9% lower than the same week in 2015 as supplies of pigs remain tight this year. Average carcase weights showed a marginal decline following the trend seen in the previous few weeks, falling to 82.85kg. However this remains almost a 1.5kg higher than the same week last year as sharper falls were seen at this time last year.
The EU-spec APP continued to rise, up by 0.90p to reach 154.04p/kg in the week ended 3 December. This led to prices moving to almost 25p higher than the same week last year. This movement meant that the gap between the APP and the SPP increased by 0.15p to stand at 2.65p/kg.
The price for both weights of weaners saw rises in the week ended 10 December, with 30kg weaners seeing an increase of £3.42 compared to the previous week to reach £56.54/head, while 7kg weaners rose by almost a pound to reach £38.46/head. This meant that 30kg weaners were almost £15 higher than the same week in 2015, while 7kg weaners had over an £8 premium.

Personal injury is the wrongful injury of one person caused by the fault of another. A Georgia personal injury claim can seek compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and potentially punitive damages to punish the offender. Clayton County personal injury attorney Shane Smith answers general questions about Georgia personal injury law:
- When does someone have a personal injury claim?
In order to have a personal injury case someone must have either a physical or an emotional injury. A victim must be able to show that someone else (the defendant) is at fault for the injury using a negligence, strict liability or intentional misconduct theory. In some cases a victim must show that the other party or parties is predominantly at fault for the injury (carrying over half of the liability for the accident and injuries).
- What is strict liability?
Strict liability is the legal responsibility for damages or injury even if the person found strictly liable was not at fault or negligent. Strict liability has been applied in product liability cases and when animals (pets) cause damage or injuries to another person or to their property.
- What is intentional misconduct?
Intentional misconduct refers to conscious or willful disregard of the rights and safety of another. It means conduct by a person with knowledge at the time of the conduct that the conduct is harmful to the health or wellbeing of another person. It includes battery (an intentional act causing harmful or offensive contact with another), false imprisonment (wrongful detention) and intentional infliction of emotional distress (outrageous behavior resulting in severe emotional distress).
- What is a slip-and-fall accident?
There are four general types of "fall down" accidents:
- Slip-and-fall accidents—A foreign substance causes a shoe to slide on a floor resulting in an injury.
- Trip-and-fall accidents—A foreign object obstructs an area used for walking.
- Step-and-fall accidents—A hole or uneven surface causes someone to lose their balance and fall.
- Stump-and-fall accidents—A permanent obstruction in the walking surface causes someone to fall.
- Who is responsible for a slip-and-fall accident?
Both a property owner and the injured victim may be responsible for an injury to some degree. The property owner has a duty of care to anyone visiting his property. Those who visit a property must use the care that a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances. Someone visiting another person's property may need to show more care in hazardous conditions. Either or both of these duties may be breached leading to an accident and injuries.
- What is a hazardous condition?
A hazardous condition is one where an injury may occur. These may be permanent, as in the case of broken stairs, or temporary, such as when water is on the floor. Property owners are responsible for warning patrons about permanent hazardous conditions and remedying them. Property owners may not be responsible for injuries sustained in temporary hazardous conditions if they were not made aware of the problem. Proving liability in temporary hazardous conditions requires evidence that the owner had knowledge of the temporary condition and did not warn visitors or correct the problem as a reasonably prudent person would in the same situation.
- What procedure should be followed after a slip-and-fall accident?
An accident report should be filed at the time of the incident though this is more of a store or business policy than a legal requirement. An accident report documents details of the incident, the time it occurred, names and contact information for witnesses and relevant accident information such as lighting, warning signs and floor conditions. This information can be compiled by the victim if the store does not make an accident report. The victim can also document comments made by those who witnessed the accident or assisted (including relevant information about when someone saw a hazard, if it was previously reported to management or if store officials put a warning sign out after the incident occurred). Photos can also be taken to document the incident scene. Injuries should be treated by medical professionals; this provides additional documentation to substantiate injury claims.
- What kinds of compensation can be pursued in a slip-and-fall accident?
Slip-and-fall accidents can include recovery for the following:
- Medical expenses
- Potential future medical expenses, therapy or rehabilitation
- Loss of earnings or future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
An experienced Clayton County personal injury attorney will pursue a case to get fair compensation for the victim. Call the Law Office of Shane Smith at 770-487-8999 to schedule a free legal consultation.
