Trouble brewing at Arellano?
Paul Kennedy Lintag on Feb 01, 2018 05:44 PM
"Nakita ko, kung ganito performance namin sa semis, mukhang mahihirapan kami umusad." AU head coach Obet Javier on the Lady Chiefs.
Defending champion Arellano finished the elimination round with a near-flawless campaign, going 8-1 to earn a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four.
However, if the playoffs started tomorrow, there's a big chance that the Lady Chiefs will not advance.
That is according to their head coach, who was in no mood to celebrate even as the champs dropped San Sebastian in Finals rematch Thursday in the NCAA Season 93 women's volleyball tournament.
"Hindi ko na kasi nakikita yung gustong manalo eh, yung gusto talaga magback-to-back," head coach Obet Javier said.
"Yun yung nakakatakot. Kasi syempre kung gusto mo talaga, ikaw dapat yung gustong-gusto gumalaw, gumawa ng maganda. Pero nangyayari sami yung mga simpleng bola, nababagsakan kami eh. Nakita ko, kung ganito performance namin sa semis, mukhang mahihirapan kami umusad." he added.
With Arellano sitting pretty with a playoff bonus, Javier says the Lady Chiefs have to turn it around fast.
The champs lost to CSB earlier in the week, ending a 19-game winning streak.
And despite ultimately winning against the Lady Stags, the Lady Chiefs lost the opening set and had to work double time in the second, 36-34, just to tie things u.
"Hindi maganda sa isang nagde-defend ng title yung ganung laro," Javier said.
"Kailangan sana magkaroon ulit ng paraan para maibalik yun, maibalik ulit yung apoy na nakita natin last year para ma-retain namin yung trophy," he added.

Ok, this blog is not Pintrest in the least! But I (Beth) did get some cute ideas for Maddie's bday party (some I wanted to do, but didn't have time or resources) and wanted to share my inspirations!
We played a "Whack an Olaf!" pinata game and the kids loved that! Any excuse for them to hit something w/ permission is always fun, right? I just used watered down glue to put at least 3 layers of newspaper strips and then, after it dried, popped the balloon. Then, I used strips of white printer paper and cut it to make the "flaky" effect and taped them on strip by strip. Then, just added details to make him look like Olaf! Here's some detailed instructions if you need! The candy doubled as a prize and favor – winning!
Then, came the favors…what to do? We went for the cute Elsa crowns and Sven Antlers! Made for a really cute pic of the kids, even though, I think the boys immediately took them off after the picture! haha….
We had cute Elsa & Anna, Kristoff & Sven, and all lovable Olaf coloring pages for the kiddo's according to gender and age 😉 I like to be age appropriate (sometimes)!
So, we decorated minimally b/c there's not a lot of ready made Frozen paraphernalia laying around 'ol FLL. So, improvise we did! There were a lot of cute ideas for how to decorate your food table, but not too many decor ideas about any other part of the party. So, we made due!
First off, the blue-green "Ice" hard candy…looks really cute on this website's cake, but I boiled mine for an extra 17 seconds and it burned a little…it was still edible though!
Secondly, the fun Jello "Ice" was fun! I made Elsa colored ice and Anna colored ice "cubes"…the kids loved it! And so did I, muhahaha….I just followed the jiggler recipe on the box, but here's the fancy-schmansy one!
Thirdly, I saw a lot of cute other themed foods, but we we just explored the "Sven Snacks" (carrots), snowflake cookies, "Kristoff Chips", and "Melted Snow" (water!)…there are plenty of ideas here and here for different foods and decor!
As far as decorations, on the food table, I found some snowy-ish silver glitter plants to use in my spaghetti jar w/ glass beads, I also found some fun silver swirl napkins, and we used some of the cute Frozen dolls that have been sweetly sent to us by our sweet parents! To greet guests, I made 5 or 6 3D snowflakes and used those throughout the house and at the front door…
stringed up cotton wool balls and these snowflake circles from the ceiling in the "Ice Palace" room (living room), cotton balls delicately distorted to look like snow, the infamous Star Wars snowflakes from here (how did those sneak in?)…
…and a snowy scene of the lovable characters with some printer paper and pipe cleaner snowflakes!
When we were all done eating, we went into the "Ice Palace" where we had the AC on 21, ate popcorn and watched the movie from our upstairs friends' iTunes version! The kids had a blast and the adults may have chuckled a time here and there too 😉
After the party, we printed off the said cute picture of the kids w/ their crowns/antlers, wrote a note and
we I made some cute snowflake ornaments from the melty beads to give as a thank you…whew, those things look cuter than they are to put together and finagle w/ the 'ol iron! Fo Sho! Here is a pattern you could use…for some reason the site is in Swedish, but you get the idea!
All in all, we had a blast…Maddie loved playing w/ her friends, this was probably the lowest key party we've ever thrown, and we actually got to enjoy time w/ our friends here while putting it on! So, enjoy! Go and make your own ideas – store bought stuff is overrated anyways 😉

Here are a few things to think about before scheduling that post hitting the send button.According to The Washington Post, "All of King's papers and speeches are owned by family members, some of whom also operate the licensing operation through which those who want to use them must go."While the entire speech is copyrighted, is it possible to use a sentence or two under fair usage laws? Are images of King copyrighted, as well? Images of King can be purchased on royalty-free images sites like Getty Images with prices ranging from $150 and up for standard editorial rights. Is a meme with a quote considered editorial?Daliah Saper of Saper Law explains: "Those who try to bypass formal licensing of Dr. King's speech or his images and rely on a fair-use defense must be prepared to justify each use on a case-by-case basis. There is no clear definition of what does and does not constitute fair use. Courts will consider the context, purpose and amount of use in making their determinations. For example, classroom or editorial use might qualify as a fair use, whereas use in an advertisement or promotional tweet will be tougher to justify. Converting an image or excerpts from a speech into a meme does not automatically make the use editorial or 'fair.' Indeed, even news outlets can't just use images as part of stories without permission. That's why they have their own photographers or they license images to run with their stories."Of course, if the usage is commercial, and you plan to profit from using the image or quote—like an "I have a dream" T-shirt—you must obtain permission and will likely have to pay a licensing fee. Here are few general tips: The post or tweet should be a tribute and not a promotion. If you decide to post something related to King, stay on brand. The bigger the brand, the more exposure. The hashtag #MLKday is safe to use since you are referencing the day Talk about the topic, rather than using a quote or King's name, likeness or quote. Honoring the legacyOnce you've obtained the proper permissions, make sure to craft any tweet or post with care, honoring King's legacy and not using it to promote your brand.The Society for Human Resource Management did a wonderful job of this a few years ago, honoring King's life works and starting a conversation about how to keep it moving forward. How can #HR pros promote equality and fairness in the #workplace 50 years after the #marchonwashington? use #shrmdream to share— SHRM (@SHRM) August 28, 2013 On the more awkward end of the spectrum, ZzzQuil's MLK Day tweet was just odd—perhaps on brand, but still uncomfortably awkward. Today is the day for dreaming. Happy MLK Day. — ZzzQuil (@ZzzQuil) January 20, 2014 The internet wasn't kind with its response. ZzzQuil was slammed by Twitter users who either mocked it or told it outright that it was wrong.As Kristina Netti so eloquently put it: Companies need to STFU on holidays. If you can't do it right, don't do it at all. RT @ZzzQuil Today is the day for dreaming. Happy MLK Day — Kristina Nette (@KristinaNette) January 21, 2014 All in all, it's better to be safe than sorry. Using copyrighted images or works of King can get your brand into trouble legally, and if you post something off-brand or promotional leveraging the day to make money, the internet might respond unkindly.Sometimes saying nothing is better than an awkward or off-the-mark attempt.Hope Bertram is the founder and CEO of educational event company Digital Megaphone.

Spirit Airlines, you've got to be shitting me with this tray table.
I've seen better product names. (Booth was a Korean company, so don't blame them too much.)
Spotted at the Mirage. I have friends who would drop far too much money here. Those signed Bohemian Rhapsody and Creed posters can be yours for only $1,595 each.
The people at the smart oven booth were geniuses—they gave out freshly-baked cookies.
This sign is apparently necessary in Vegas, I've seen it in multiple hotels.
$8,000. It makes cocktails.
Have you considered there's a reason you're the first?
For the extremely impatient or those who have always dreamed of having a child made of Silly Putty.
1982 me would have found this deeply satisfying.
The key to CES is timing, because this Disney line overflows in the morning.
Holy crap.
It's a TV set that gives you free Netflix while it mines cryptocurrency for the company that built it. In other words, save $9 on your media by spending $30 on electricity. Genius.


text: This is a first attempt at using my Nikon Coolpix mounted to the handle bars of my Mountain bike. The ride is in the Portugese Nature reserve in Palos Verdes and this is the Eagles Nest trail. Unfortunately the memory on the camera only lasts about 2.5 minutes so it stops before the end of the ride but I was almost at the bottom. Its a bit bumpy and shaky but that's the nature of the trail with its rocks and bumps. The views are spectacular though one needs to watch the path not the view when riding down, have to watch out for the odd rattle snake too!

If you sell services or goods in the United Kingdom or import them from other countries before selling them then calculating net VAT is very important to know your actual costs. This vat amount represents the exact vat paid or collected over the actual service or product and definately will have to be shown separately with your vat invoice together with your vat returns.
Several eu countries including Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Sweden, etc have shifted to vat or value added tax as being a system of taxing products and services in a bid to prevent multiple taxation on products or services. Vat also vatcontrol.com/vat prevents tax evasion to a degree as compared to earlier systems. However, if you are a trader or manufacturer that buys and sells goods under the vat system then you should know about the tax component in your final costing of your products or services.
It is thus important to calculate the net vat on each products or services so that you will arrive at accurate costs and also calculate your profits correctly. Each eu state or country has different vat rate slabs that attract different percentages of vat. For example, in case your business is situated in the UK then you could be governed by a standard vat rate of 17.5% that will switch to 20% after January 4, 2011. There is also a reduced vat rate of 5% on certain products or services while many goods or services are generally vat exempt or attract zero vat. The hmrc vat department or hm revenue and customs department has provided for 14,000 classifications that could ultimately decide on the exact vat amount on each service or product.
In case you have sold an item for ?100 excluding vat then you'll have to add 17.5% vat provided the product attracts the standard vat rate. Your net vat rate will now be ?17.50 while your gross amount including vat will likely be ?117.50. The net rate of vat will need to be specified by your vat invoice along with your vat returns too. However, in order to charge and collect vat you'll have to get a own unique vat number which will have to be shown on each vat document. It is possible to turn into a vat registered trader by filling in an appropriate application vat form after your taxable sales have touched ?70,000 in the past Twelve months.
You may also claim the actual amount of vat paid on imported goods or services should they have already been paid in the country of origin. You should utilize the assistance of a qualified vat, customs and excise duties agent or consultant that has complete knowledge of uk vat and eu vat rules, especially when you import goods and services from member eu countries that follow the system of vat. Although vat rates might differ in each country, the net vat rate will be based on the actual percentage of vat on the product or service.
It is crucial to understand each factor that contributes towards the cost of your product or service. This may allow you to generate the maximum level of profits and also keep a strict eye on direct and indirect expenses affecting your business. Calculating net vat is definitely essential to know your actual costs so that you can sell your product or service and services at optimum prices.

The enterprise mobile device debate is graduating from a rugged vs. non-rugged discussion to identifying the best device for a particular application.
Natick, MA (PRWEB) October 22, 2015
Enterprises will deploy a total of 3.4 million rugged handheld computers and 32 million smartphones in 2015 to support a variety of line of business applications, according to a new report from VDC Research (click here for more info). While there is some overlap between use cases for rugged handheld devices and for smartphones, the latter are more aligned with highly business- and mission-critical applications, which place a premium on reliability and data capture requirements. However, the rugged smartphone has emerged as a new form factor in recent years. These devices are similar in design and user experience to the consumer-grade smartphone, but they feature enterprise-grade levels of ruggedness and improved daylight readability. The rugged smartphone caters to end-users who want a more ergonomic and touch-centric device without sacrificing some of their more enterprise-focused features.
The rugged market, despite its recent return to growth, will face numerous challenges ranging from shifts in consumer demands to macroeconomic trends. While the Americas remain the primary engine for growth throughout 2015 and onward, this growth will largely be overshadowed by a weakening European market that has been exacerbated by Greece's economic instability and a weakening euro that has dropped to historic lows in much of 2015. Additionally, with legacy Windows platforms nearing EOL, uncertainty regarding migration path for existing rugged handheld customers could provide continued migration and upgrade headwinds.
For consumer-grade smartphones, the growing availability of peripherals and to augment the functionality of these devices and provide better protection are further opening their opportunity in the enterprise. In addition, leading vendors such as Apple and Samsung are now actively targeting the enterprise, looking to develop new and higher value-adding opportunities, particularly as consumer sales have begun to peak. Their addition to the enterprise market has the potential to have a significant impact on how organizations choose to mobilize their workforce, affecting not only price sensitivity, but OS choice, application development, and replacement cycles.
The influence of the consumer market continues to spread in the enterprise, particularly with an increasingly tech-savvy workforce," says David Krebs, EVP at VDC. "Both rugged and consumer manufacturers are looking to meet the needs of the enterprise as the global mobile workforce grows while meeting end-user experience expectations, especially regarding ease of use and intuitive design."

The Head Start community mourns the passing of President George H.W. Bush, who along with the First Lady was an ardent supporter of providing every vulnerable child the opportunity to succeed in school and life.
In announcing his 1992 budget, President Bush said 'Many children need a Head Start, and we're going to make sure they get it...In Head Start we found a government program that works to strengthen families and communities for the future.'
And as President, he put those words into action. The number of children served by Head Start almost doubled during President Bush's four years in office—a record expansion that no other administration before or since has surpassed. He also proposed the largest single-year funding increase in Head Start's history and supported numerous quality improvement initiatives.
President and Mrs. Bush believed deeply in Head Start's ability to change lives through its holistic model of whole-child support and family engagement. Their legacy will live on in the millions of children and families who have accessed that window of opportunity thanks to their commitment to Head Start.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family.

As a huge Levenger Circa fan (*cough* addict), I've been eyeballing these new 'Smooth Sliver Notebooks with Pockets', so when a Junior size in Cocoa popped up on Ebay I jumped at it:
And was excited to unwrap and see this beauty!
The cocoa is a nice chocolatey brown. What's unique is how the leather cover extends all the way past the punches, whereas usually the leather is affixed to a black plastic strip.
The inside view of the cover.
Best of all, look at how little room it takes up on the discs!
So then the question became, what color aluminum discs should I use!? I had 1″ copper and 1″ cornflower blue just waiting to be used in a notebook:
I went with the Cornflower Blue discs, and really love how they look against the brown.
This pairing works perfectly with the Levenger Multicolored Plastic Tab Dividers.
I just can't get over how little room it takes on these discs!

written by Barbara Hansen, Cor Deo's Sixth Grade Teacher
Life is soooo busy. Even though we all have electronic gadgets to make our lives easier, it seems that there is barely time to catch our breath. I was was once in your shoes—running kids to sports practice, to music lessons, and to church activities. Then there are all the responsibilities of a family: grocery shopping, appointments, laundry, and the list goes on. Who has time to do more?
When I got up in the morning when the kids lived at home, it seemed like I had one goal in mind: make it to the end of the day. Even though survival felt like the ultimate goal, my husband, Steve, and I knew that God's call for us as parents meant keeping our focus. Everyday we kept His goals before us as we modeled for our children how to love Him with all our heart, mind, and soul.
When Steve and I were young parents decades ago, we wrote end goals for the children. We thought about the kind of adults we wanted our children to be and then reverse engineered our parenting strategies. Steve and I wanted excellent future Christian adults who would step into the world and serve Christ, not decent children that people could stand to be around.
A list of do's and don't's for what children can and cannot do is not child training, and there is a danger of crossing over to the dark side of legalism. We had the whole person in mind when we set end goals for our children. You could sum the whole list of twenty-five goals in seven words, "what we want our kids to love." On the top of list was Jesus Christ, His Word, the church, Christian community. The rest of our manifesto covered other important aspects of our children's lives like: family, education, recreation, and community service.
We thought about the activities, people, books, and media that supported our goals. We needed clear targets, so we could assess whether we were moving toward the target or away from it. Our manifesto became a filter.
Fortunately, classical Christian education is about training the heart to love the things of God; to love truth, to love wisdom, and to love beauty. Steve and I adopted classical Christian education as our family educational philosophy in 1995. Shaping the habits and forming the loves of the soul, classical Christian education became an important means to achieving our parenting objectives.
I want to encourage you to have clear goals as you parent. Write your own manifesto of what you are aiming for as parents.
The Cor Deo School is here to work with you in shaping your child's heart and mind. Our teachers, administrators, and staff work to establish a school culture where your children can flourish and form character and virtue. You support the goals and aims of classical Christian education when you become a conscientious partner with these important training goals for your children. You can support these goals by setting your parenting GPS for your children's adulthood.
Considering how an education at The Cor Deo School may fit with your parenting GPS? Schedule a tour today to learn more.

Gateway Community Outreach has been providing services in Broward County for over twenty-four years. We have helped over 760,000 individuals.
GCO provides solutions to prevent homelessness, especially to those families with children who are trying to recover from an economic downturn, a job loss, an unexpected emergency, or illness and loss in the family.
Our success utilizes a case management system, consisting of a 90-day plan to connect clients with services and referrals (e.g.) food, baby needs, gift cards for clothing, rent/mortgage and water bill assistance.
In addition to food distribution and direct services, GCO collaborates with 80 other agencies that provide a full spectrum of community services to meet additional and long-term needs.
Other partners are local churches in Broward County and one in Palm Beach County which donate space. All of our sites are located in low-income neighborhoods to allow clients easy access to our services.
Gateway saved my life when I was kicked out of a home in December 2017 that I lived in for 20 years. Thank God for angels like Gateway Community Outreach because without them I would be living in a car with my family. They helped me to get a 3 bedroom apartment in a nice neighborhood that I would never have been able to get on my own. I didn't have money for first month's rent and was scared my family would be on the streets . Not only did they help me pay my rent they also provided me with food to feed my family. I'm so grateful for all that gateway has done to help me get on...

I will like to truly thank you for the rental assistance and all the extra effort of support and ensuring me that it we will be ok.

We live in a hyper-connected world where information travels around the world within seconds. We're connected to our friends, our family and work through mobile networks and social media. Whenever something happens that's of interest to us, we know about it within minutes if not seconds. And the world was so different in the olden times right? Well have another look at the picture below and you may want to change your mind. Doesn't the person on the right look like they're on the phone?
I took this photograph when I recently visited the Ajantha Caves (near Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India). This is from Cave 26 which is probably the cave with the most exquisite sculptures and architectural detailing in the entire complex. More about Cave 26 another day!

I'm a HUGE fan of John Wetton, but I really must commend Greg Lake on his performances on this CD. His vocals are so close to Wetton's that it's hard to believe that it's not Wetton.
There's a good reason that Wetton "replaced" Greg Lake in King Crimson and it's with much similar reason that Lake briefly "replaced" Wetton in Asia... their voices are so eerily similar it's amazing. Lake's British accent shows a little bit more in his singing voice but only if you're really listening for it.
Carl Palmer's drumming is fantastic as always, Downes keyboard playing is exceptional and Steve Howe... well it's Steve Howe... what more needs to be said?
The sound quality on this disc is supposedly superior to the Live In Hallowed Halls CD with Wetton on vocals, but I don't have that CD so I have no room for comparison.
Good song selection but I miss Daylight and where's Don't Cry? I have an mp3 of Lake singing Daylight that's absolutely fantastic... Why it didn't make this CD release is beyond me. This disc would get 5 stars if not for the omission of those 2 tracks. Still a solid performance.

You know, I sometimes long for the days before the telephone was invented. Because really, no matter how far away you move, people can find you. And by people, I mean family.
About two months ago, my sister and I had a HUGE blowout fight over the phone about her relationship with this man she's been dating. As the argument went on, we realized that the information that we were throwing at one another had come from one source - our mother. Mom now lives with my sister and apparently enjoyed the game of "guess what your sister told me". Yes, while I'm sure she got hours of laughs out of this sick little game, it was quite distressing for me. For instance, when mom would gripe about how much time sister's boyfriend was spending at the house and how much time they spent in bed, I would commiserate with her and add my two cents about how ridiculous they were being. Mom would, apparently, go back to sister and share only my side of the conversation. So when the big blowout hit, I was met with comments like "You are always mocking my relationship!" or "You wish bad things for me". Now, you have to realize that I never said these things directly to her and so I knew who told her these things. Frankly, I try not to discuss anything specific with my sister. We're great at generic conversations - food, TV shows, Disney - but beyond that, I try to avoid it.
So last night I'm on the phone with mom and she's griping about sister, the boyfriend, my nephew, their living situations, all the same old song and dance. And with each topic that she brings up, she starts with "Don't you dare tell your sister this! I'll deny it!"
Excuse me, but she obviously has forgotten exactly WHO is the blabber-mouth in this relationship. So I say "of course I won't" to all of her pleadings but in the back of my mind, I'm pretty pissed. I mean, at the time of the fight with my sister, I told mom that I did not appreciate her ratting me out and the ONLY reason I ratted her out to my sister was for retaliation. We're a mature bunch. So now I have to grin and bear it and force myself to be polite and not remind her of our past issues. For those of you who know me, you know it's hard for me to keep my mouth shut on anything!
I wonder how far away I would have to move to stop all forms of communication?

03.26.2019 – New Testament: Luke 5.8
To read the Bible in a year, read Luke 5.1–16 on March 26, In the year of our Lord 2019
By Don Ruhl
Jesus told the disciples to cast their nets into the water and they would catch fish, but Peter said they had fished all night and had not caught anything. Nevertheless, Peter continued, saying that he would do what the Lord said, showing the Lord that Peter knew there were no fish in that location.
After Peter and his fellow fishermen did so, they caught a huge amount of fish and Peter suddenly realized what he had done,
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"
– Luke 5.8
We may argue that Peter needed the Lord, but Peter also knew that he was not worthy to be in the Lord's presence. Therefore, Peter humbled himself, showing that he was not worthy to have the Lord in his presence.
- How often do you say things that you regret later?
- Do you think that you and Peter could have been good friends?

Operating system modernization and a growing need to expand into auxiliary business services drives postal-courier investments in modern, flexible mobile devices with more intuitive user-interfaces.
Natick, MA (PRWEB) December 15, 2015
Over the next five years, shipments of mobile devices to postal-courier delivery workers will grow at a rate of about 2.4 percent due to these devices' increased sophistication and growing ability to meet the modern needs of postal organizations, according to VDC Research (click here for more info). This trend is driven in part by organizations facing a number of technical and industry challenges that serve as impetuses for investments in mobile software and hardware in the years ahead. One challenge, the approaching end-of-life for legacy Windows Mobile 6.x/Windows CE operating systems in 2020, has organizations contemplating their future mobile strategy. This strategy will need to address difficult questions about operating system choice and application modernization. Furthermore, evolving market dynamics have resulted in reduced mail volumes and increased parcel volumes driven by strong growth in e-commerce. These trends encourage the acquisition of technologies that allow expansion into auxiliary services while simultaneously addressing current workflows. Finally, customers are demanding greater personalization and control over the delivery process; thus, necessitating technology capable of interfacing appropriately with customers and meeting their new demands.
"Meaningful support for legacy Windows operating systems—Embedded Compact and Embedded Handheld 6.5—ends in 2015, and security patches will only be provided through 2020," says Matthew Hopkins, Research Associate of VDC Research. "Essentially putting the platform on life support, Microsoft will no longer direct research and development toward these systems, and the portfolio of available devices will continue to shrink over the next few years."
The sun setting of legacy Windows operating systems is a driving force in the postal-courier industry, and one that will result in a period of modernization essential for success in an evolving industry. While upfront costs associated with modernization may be substantial, the returns on investment can be impressive as product and service diversification grows more and more important.

Vastavam web: Pakistan passed legislation today paving the way for its restive tribal areas to enter the mainstream political fold, bringing an ending to a colonial-era arrangement that endorsed collective punishment and fuelled militancy. The constitutional amendment received broad support from across the political spectrum in the National Assembly, with 229 voting to approve the measure and one voting against it. The amendment will bring an end to colonial-era laws governing Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), extend the writ of Pakistani courts to its districts and increase development assistance to its residents.
"Today this house has approved a historic bill, which will have very positive effects for Pakistan. I thank the opposition for their support," Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi told legislators after the vote. Following the passage of the bill, FATA will be officially merged into neighbouring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The US has repeatedly accused Pakistan of allowing the tribal areas to host safe havens harbouring militants fighting in Afghanistan – an allegation Islamabad has consistently denied.
FATA residents have long complained its development has been overlooked by authorities, while appointed administrators were able to punish whole tribes for the crimes of an individual. "Pakistan's tribal areas have long been neglected. The government has taken this decision very late," Rahimullah Yusufzai, a regional analyst and an expert on the tribal areas, told AFP." It's a historic day, I am more than happy," said Malik Zarnoor Afridi of Khyber tribal district.
Samiullah Jan, from South Waziristan district, said he hopes the tribal areas will see an increase in development aid. "They will get quality education, quality health care, roads, electricity, gas and economic opportunities," said Jan.

As the holidays are in full effect you may end up going out to dine with friends or family who are in town. Here are some good tips to keep you on track when deciding what to eat at a restaurant.
Tips for making healthy food choices when eating out during the holiday season:
- Watch portion sizes. Portions can be double or triple the size that you would consume if you made the meal at home.
- Choose whole-grain breads or wraps for sandwiches.
- Choose a healthy side option, such as fruit or a side salad.
- Order broth-based soups rather than cream-based soups.
- Skip the bread and butter.
- Share a meal with a friend. One portion at a restaurant, split in half, is sure to satisfy your hunger.
- Get grilled meats instead of fried — for example, grilled chicken instead of fried chicken.

On May 6th we celebrated our daughter's first birthday. My baby is now one and considered a toddler. As every mother and parent asks, where did the time go. I have no idea but I heed the advice so wisely given to me, "enjoy every minute because she will be all grown up before you know it." I have and I do.
I could write for hours and hours and not fully express my love for her, the sense of wonder that I feel when I look at her. The pride and wave of responsibility I feel for this ever evolving person that I have been so blessed with. I want to shout hooray every morning because I've been given another day with her. Another day to watch her grown and learn and became who she will be. I also pray. I pray for the wisdom to not only be a good mother (and that means a different thing each day) but to be a good teacher. To teach her how to live, love, dance, play, care, how to shine and enjoy all that this life has to offer her.
Happy Birthday My Love!!!

About Time – Matt Robson Speech
New Zealand Government
Published: Fri 18 May 2001 02:17 PM
Address to the North Harbour Law Society
North Shore Rowing club
Northcote Rd extension, Takapuna.
1.30PM Friday, 18 May 2001
You have asked me to talk about the politics of penal reform.
This is a particularly suitable day to talk on that topic.
Today I released a major report called "About Time.'
It's a report on turning people away from a life of crime and reducing re-offending.
This is my first opportunity to speak publicly about it.
"Penal reform' is not a phrase on the lips of most New Zealanders.
There are no Mark Middletons marching in the streets for penal reform.
Talk-back callers don't phone in outraged at the lack of opportunity for prison inmates.
People are afraid of crime.
The message the public wants to hear is that they will be kept safe from criminal attack.
Of course it's true that the chance of being murdered, raped or attacked by a roaming stranger are nearly zero.
There are approximately 110 homicides per year and by far the majority of offenders are known to their victims.
But crime has more widespread effects than that.
Every time we hear about a crime, we tend to feel less safe.
Every person who is forced to alter their lifestyle in some way out of fear of crime is paying the price for crime.
The message for politicians from that is that we have a responsibility as politicians to listen to the fear of crime.
And we have a responsibility to act to make the public safer.
This Labour Alliance Coalition Government is doing that in two ways.
The first step that I announced in March with my colleague the Minister of Justice was a new Sentencing and Parole Bill.
This is an initiative that I have always strongly supported, and I am pleased that we have had the opportunity to put it into law.
The new Sentencing and Parole Act will ensure that offenders who remain dangerous will not be eligible for early release.
We have preventive detention for offenders who are dangerous and who cannot be reformed.
These are the Paul Dally's and the Taffy Hotene's. The offenders that the public thinks of when they think of particularly awful crimes.
They are the "terrible few' and they can be distinguished from the majority in our prisons who are the "sad many.'
The sad many drive while disqualified, or steal, or take drugs.
29% of offenders are in prison for property offences, 22% for traffic offences, and 20% for other offences including drugs.
I'm not saying that these offenders shouldn't be in prison.
But I am saying that what we do with them while they're inside will make the difference between a crime rate that goes up or down.
New Zealand has the second highest rate of imprisonment in the world.
One of the fascinating facts in the About Time report is that changing the rate of imprisonment doesn't affect the crime rate.
For example, Finland cut the number of crimes punishable by imprisonment.
The prison population fell.
The crime rate didn't change.
Some states of the US went the other way and put offenders away for much longer terms.
The prison population began growing enormously.
The crime rate didn't change.
The point is that the likelihood of going to prison doesn't seem to affect whether or not offenders go out and commit crimes.
So if we want to reduce crime, then there must be something else we can do to keep the public safe.
The most effective way to reduce crime is to intervene before people start out on a life of crime and to stop them from re-offending.
The report I released today is called "About Time.'
It's a good title.
It is about time a government finally did something about the level of offending before it occurred.
We're not just cleaning up the mess - although we have to do that too.
We are also trying to stop the mess in the first place.
There are ten recommendations in the report.
The first four involve prevention: They focus on reducing serious crime by reducing the number of serious offenders.
Tomorrow's hard core of offenders can be found largely among the children of today's socially and economically disadvantaged families.
This what the report says:
"Young people who are at risk of becoming serious adult offenders are recognisable with increasing certainty as newborns, as school entrants, as young offenders and as early adult offenders.'
Each of the main risk factors increases the probability of anti-social behaviour by four to ten times. The key risk factors are where the mother is:
- Young;
- Has little education;
- Is from a disadvantaged family where she received little care or attention;
- Is substance dependent;
- Is socially isolated;
- And, has a number of male partners.
I want to emphasise that this background doesn't condemn a child to adult offending. But it increases the risk.
If all of these factors appear together, the risk increases many hundreds of times.
So the first recommendation in About Time is to reduce the number of highest risk births.
We can do that by working with young women who fit the profile and who are in the social welfare and justice systems.
They need sexual health services - teaching them about contraception and avoiding exploitation.
Teaching young women about the advantages of delaying child bearing until they are settled, mature and suitable support is available.
The cost for each intervention is about $500.
The benefit to cost ratio has been assessed as fifty to one.
We need to back that up with more support for high-risk new mothers.
This what I call the "James Whakaruru' situation.
A child born into that tragic situation who had survived would have been at very high risk of teenage and adult offending.
We can improve our efforts to intervene in some of those cases.
Family Start programmes are a good example of the sort of assistance that can be provided.
Each intervention costs about $3000.
The benefit to cost ratio is assessed at twenty-five to one.
And then we can move to children as they enter school.
These children include the hypothetical five year old that Ces Lashlie spoke about recently.
Teachers have long been able to identify many of the school entrants that they believe will end up as adult offenders.
For example an intervention for a five year old who is aggressive and defiant is estimated to cost about $5000 per case with a success rate of 70%.
The same behaviour at the age of 25 years costs $20,000 and has a success rate of only 20%.
Earliest possible intervention works best and costs less.
Children who are at risk of progressing to serious adult offending get easier to identify between the ages of ten and fifteen.
That is when they begin their offending career.
The single most powerful indicator of a trajectory to serious adult offending is early repeat offending as a child.
The obvious risk factors include failure at school, substance abuse, deviant friends and a family that has problems - poor supervision, criminal parents and child abuse.
The remedies that work are fairly simple:
- Re-entry to school, with some incentive for doing well;
- Better parenting
- A complete ban on alcohol and drug use
- New social activities and friends.
Working with these kids to prevent them moving on to serious adult offending would mean intervention with about two thousand kids a year, at a cost of about $7000 each.
If one in four of them would move on to a lifetime of offending without the intervention, and one in three interventions actually works, then the benefit-cost ratio is about 36-1.
All of the programmes I have mentioned so far are preventive measures.
They are aimed at turning people away from a life of crime.
Of course, they will result in some interventions where none would have turned out to have been needed.
The earlier you intervene, the more effective the result, but the harder it is to work out where the intervention is needed.
And therefore, of course, many people who will go on to offend will still slip through the net.
The benefit-to-cost studies show it is still worth making the effort to intervene where possible.
I am personally committed to these preventive measures.
The success of the interventions will take a generation to make an impact on levels of adult offending.
That is why so little has been done about this before.
Politicians are always tempted to pretend they can offer quick fixes to serious problems.
The preventive measures I have talked about are not quick fixes, but they are effective.
They will take enormous co-ordination across a number of government agencies.
Corrections, health, CYFS, education and others will all have a role.
I believe that we can have a start on many of these ideas under way by this time next year. I have discussed this with Cabinet. The Government is committed to this course of action.
The next strategy is aimed at alternative sentencing for teenagers.
This combines two main principles:
- Ensuring that teenage offenders who are dangerous are kept out of the community;
- Where possible, intensive intervention with teenagers who are at the beginning of a lifetime of crime.
More than half of the teenagers who enter the adult justice system are re-convicted within one year of ending their sentence.
About 80 or 90% are re-convicted within five years.
The About Time report recommends intensive rehabilitation in Day Reporting Centres.
What Day Reporting Centres do can be easily summarised:
- They give the kids job skills and life skills;
- They help to place them in jobs;
Dangerous teenage offenders who commit violent and sexual offences would still go to prison.
For the others an offence will still result in the appropriate penalty, but some of it could be withheld in return for good performance.
Significant sanctions and rewards would apply to encourage offenders to participate.
Effective services for young Maori could be achieved by using existing iwi and marae support structures, where possible.
There would be an emphasis on so-called "multi-systemic therapy'. That is what we all do or should do with our kids. It is a fancy name for dealing with all the issues, and it has produced 50% reductions in subsequent offending in trials overseas.
Attendance at day Reporting Centres would be compulsory five days a week for six months, and might be accompanied by night curfews and electronic monitoring.
The units cost about $10,000 per offender to run, with a benefit to cost return of 37-1.
Some non-violent young offenders are better treated and cured outside of the toxic mix that is inside our prisons.
If we just write teenagers off when they first enter the adult justice system, then in most cases we are accepting that a lifetime of crime will result.
That also means accepting that they will spend a lifetime creating victims of their offending.
I'm not prepared to accept that.
Work on alternative sentencing for teenagers is already under way.
I hope that later this year I will be able to bring some proposals forward to establish Day Reporting Centres and to introduce intensive intervention programmes.
Progress on the next strategy will be even more rapid.
In the budget next week I will announce funding for new rehabilitation programmes aimed at the "sad many' who are already in the prison system.
We're starting at the easiest end, simply because we know where these people are - they're in prison, they're easy to identify and we can compel their co-operation.
One programme involves working on the rehabilitation of repeat disqualified drivers.
Research has shown this group is likely to respond to intense and specific rehabilitation.
Offenders who drive while disqualified break many laws in addition to traffic laws.
By the time they are imprisoned for disqualified driving they have an average of 21 prior convictions.
The MODS programme - Making Our Drivers Safe - is an intensive 100 hour programme.
Offenders who have taken part have 18% fewer convictions than a similar group who did not participate in the programme.
In the budget I am going to announce an expansion of the MODS programme.
It will reduce re-offending and make the public safer.
A recent survey found that 83% of prisoners had a problem with either alcohol or drugs.
The most successful drug and alcohol programmes in the prisons and in the community reduce re-offending in the high risk group of multiple offenders by a third.
In the budget I am going to announce intensive alcohol and drug programmes.
Because they work.
They reduce re-offending and make the public safer.
I believe the approach I've outlined today will - over time - make a serious dent in offending behaviour.
But it's also important to be realistic about the likely success rate.
Overall, even if we do everything in this report, there will still be significant offending.
All of the options I have outlined today, taken together, could reduce imprisonable offending by around 17% a year, eventually.
So I'm not dewy-eyed about the scale of the challenge.
But I am committed to making a start.
The programme I have outlined today recognises that some criminals cannot and will not change.
We will keep the public safe from their offending through the new Sentencing and Parole Acts.
It also recognises that some rehabilitation programs are successful with some offenders.
And yet I fully expect to be attacked by the Opposition for outlining the options.
I looking forward to hearing them squeal about it.
In my view, the political parties that are opposed to this report are effectively pro-crime.
They are not really interested in doing anything meaningful about offending behaviour.
They ignore or even attack genuine attempts to turn people away from a life of crime and reduce re-offending.
Our political opponents have demanded that we build more prisons.
We are doing that, and they have opportunistically objected to every new prison or youth justice facility in the country.
Then they have tried to claim that I am soft on crime, but they will object to this report which will reduce crime if its recommendations are implemented.
Next time someone in New Zealand gets attacked, the finger of blame will point at them.
Act and National mostly ignored ideas that work to reduce crime when they were in office.
In Opposition they repeatedly attack the ideas that make the public safer.
You asked me to talk about the politics of penal reform.
In my view, there is an irony in the politics of penal reform.
National and Act have been slow to accept responsibility for all the victims they have created.
And yet those two parties claim to be tough on crime.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
This Government is making New Zealanders safer by ensuring that offenders who are still dangerous are not released early.
We can make New Zealanders safer still by reducing re-offending.
And we can make New Zealanders safer by turning people away from a life of crime.
Thank you for the opportunity to outline some of the ways I am going about trying to achieve just that.

Advice is like a train. You can take it or leave it.
For the launch of our #ArtistAdvice series, we asked Minted artists Tanya Lee of Frooted Design and Eric Beckett of GeekInk to share the best career advice they've ever received. Luckily, it shaped their paths for the better.
Stay tuned to the Community>Resources section of Julep. For upcoming editions of #ArtistAdvice, we'll take a deeper dive into advice ranging from artistic techniques, personal branding, and life-changing insights.

Think of your computer as just another tool. If you always begin there, then what you can or cannot do on the computer limits your full creative potential.
Practically speaking, this means I usually begin a project by writing word lists, sketching, or experimenting with new mediums. Sometimes it means taking a step back and just hanging out with my family, who often proves to be my best inspiration. For example, "Splash-o-saurus" was inspired by spending the summer swimming with my dino-loving 5-year-old son).

In the middle designing an invitation for a Minted wedding Design Challenge, my wife walked in and saw that I was working on a floral-themed wedding invite. In a confused voice, she asked, "Why are you trying to do florals? That's not your style."
That one small question made me stop and really think about what I was doing. My florals were horrible, and I realized that the key to me being a successful designer wasn't in trying to do what other successful designers were doing, but to find what I could do better. It freed me from the stigma that "florals always win," and I was able to think outside the box and design what I thought looked cool. Sometimes the best advice isn't advice at all, but simply asking the right questions. The next day, I started working on my Antique Lines design, and to this day, it's still one of my favorite creations.

The Algerian Government's Action Plan has placed the development of productive agricultural activities in a way that not only to strengthen the country's food security, but also to diversify the national economy and reduce the imbalance in trade of the main agricultural products, APS reported on Sunday.
The Government's Action Plan for implementation of the President's program, which will be presented to the National People's Assembly, next Tuesday, has identified several domains for achieving these objectives.
First, the extension of the irrigated area of one million hectares, which will result from the valuation and consolidation of the existing potential over an area of 261,500 hectares, as well as creation of new areas of agricultural concessions with the actual development of 370,000 hectares, to which will be added new large irrigation schemes, totaling an area of 331,000 hectares.
The further development of Saharan agriculture through the creation of new development areas is also provided by in the Government's Action Plan.
The other measures concern the strengthening of sanitary protection and the development of mechanization, as well as the resumption of fallow, which should eventually cover an area of 576,000 hectares, allocated for forage of legumes.
The development and use of seeds with high productive potential, as well as the development of the agro-food industry, are also planned in order to enhance agricultural production, particularly for certain speculations that have been shown to have proved to be growing (market gardening, including potatoes, Onion, white and red meats…) and to promote the export of agricultural products with comparative advantages.
It has also envisaged the development and use of seeds with high productive potential, as well as the development of the agro-food industry, in order to enhance agricultural production, especially for certain speculations, which experienced growth (market gardening including potatoes and onions, white and red meat…), and to promote the export of agricultural products with comparative advantages.
The Government has also undertaken to complete the investment programs, included in the extension of storage capacity, including those for refrigeration, which will be continued, as well as programs for modernization of processing and slaughter units.

God's House At Night
Every once in a while you come across a piece of yourself in the archives.
Today I was at my mom's, opened a box, and found a newsletter from 1980 in it. The newsletter was published by my grade school, St. Christopher in Midlothian, IL, to publish news and stories written by the students. In it I found the reason it was saved all these years — it included a poem I wrote in 8th grade.
Here it is for modern day reading, and archiving for future generations to discover. It's not epic, but is one of the first poems I ever wrote and still have. It reveals the budding spark of love this poet has for poetry, many poems of which I've written and published on this blog.
God's House At Night
Your entry begins with a shrill creek of the door,
No one is there but yourself and your Lord.
It's pitch black in the Church – darker than night,
The flicker of candles gives the altar a highlight.
You feel your way to the pew and then you kneel down,
Then pray with no on in sight, and you hear not a sound.
The calmness and serenity while you talk to the Father,
All creation is quiet and gives not a bother.
– Ed Novick, St. Chris Crier school newsletter – 1980

Today was my first real day of teaching. It was basically an introduction about the basics of archaeology. So naturally I had to show a clip of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, it was to show the difference between what Indiana Jones does in the jungles of South America (looting) and what the Nazi's do in the Egyptian desert at Tanis (excavate). I find it humorous that the only actual archaeological field work that goes on in any of the Indiana Jones movies is performed by the Nazis, under the guidance of the French archaeologist Belloq of course.
The other interesting thing I did was play a game. I was talking about artifacts and how an interdisciplinary approach is necessary in order to properly understand them. So I had the students describe an object they use every day, but only give its material and physically describe half or a quarter of the object. It was hard to figure out what they were describing, but by asking a few questions about the object, i.e. is it broken, what size is it, is it a utensil, used in the kitchen, etc…they were able to figure out what each object described was. The point was clear to all of them, context is key and understanding all material excavated is important. So in other words, it is important to dig carefully and scientifically record everything.
