Black Lives Matter Everywhere
The Black Lives Matter Foundation UK in joint purpose co-partners with BlackLivesMatter.uk and Charities Against Racism works independently with autonomy and the right to self-govern to get the best out of our charitable funds and objective to ultimately uplift and benefit black lives and end racism.
The Black Lives Matter Foundation is based in the UK and is here to help support black led projects, organisations, charities and services where it will have the most impact and effectiveness to provide long term change. We are an independent concern where we operate in the capacity of an agent to act in accordance with the values, ideologies and objective of the statement "Black Lives Matter" rather than buckle under the influence of what others may feel we need and not what we actually need to bring about a movement and societal shift against anti-black racism, to see a consistent cultural and change to dismantle racism here and around the world, racism against the black skin that's been allowed to persist for far too long. The time is here, let's do this!
We're eager to get funds out into education and into the communities and also to support the black economy in the process, and it will be a delight to support projects and causes that benefit, level up, uplifting black lives. The money we raise relies on individual suipport and donations, personal contributions, legacies and from corporate social responsibility, business engagement and official partnerships - those who support Black Lives Matter. Accumulated these pots will help fund black led project, charities, organisation, services, educational projects, in school and community support for the students and the young and other charitable causes to do the work we need to make black lives matter.
Initially we were going to employ a fee paying UK independent charity to manage our Black Lives Matter Foundation, however, we have now reflected hard and we came to a decision we need the freedom from external forces, restraints, influences or control and to be as independent from the general status quo, mostly white led organisations and businesses we've always known that doesn't priorities or necessarily have or minded to support the interest of black people, have little interest in levelling up, growing black economics as a major concern as a focus for their aims and objectives as we will endeavour do.
We will fund projects and other services who intend on helping grow the black business economy, this may determine who and where we choose to place our funds and is best without an intermediary but with autonomy to independently vet and choose recipients under the governed circumstance we deem fit to receive our awards. There will be on occasions it is simply not possible of even appropriate to insist project is majority black led and may need to revert to the old status quo on occasions for good reasons.
We're committed and aim to keep the conversation going, placed right in the forefront of people's minds, in households and national discussions and for as long as it takes until we eradicate the evils and immoral effects of racism from our children's lives, from Black and Brown lives, from anti-racists lives who stand by us who want equality for all, and from societies where it detrimentally affects the very existence of Black and Brown people's, and humanity.
Racism needs to stop and it needs to stop now and each and every one of us regardless of skin tone has a role to play and to stand up, speak up and speak out LOUD against racism. Silence is not an option if we truly want and stand for equality.
We are collaborating for change with businesses, companies, organisation and individuals who want to be part of racial and social equality and change and appreciate this as an ideal opportunity in modern history to create that change together.
Copartnership with Black Lives Matter UK (www.blacklivesmatter.uk) and collabratively with Charities Against Racism (www.charitiesagainstracism.com) is to work to make that difference.
Black communities will benefit from creating commercial partnership for racial, social equality, equity and equal opportunities as well as community partnerships, so let's make mutual connections for change sooner rather than later. We have no time to waste to fail another generation to suffer, deemed as the underclass, treated less than 2nd class citizens of our nation. We stand in unity with anti-racist for racial equality, for social justice and this must include parity, equity and equal opportunities. We stand with the oppressed and not with the oppressor for the sake of humanity everywhere. We stand with all people of the world to be treated as equals. A nations entire population and quality of life ultimately suffers and is all the less for it when it holds on to its historical prejudices, biases and continue to discriminates, marginalise and excludes sections of society and those who do will bear the fall out of a dysfunctional system too right along side and will not come out unscaved.
We exists to act as a support for Black lead organisations and in addition active anti-racist groups who want to bring uplifting empowering projects to life that will ultimately make a difference to black lives. These businesses, organisations, groups, individuals we partner with job will be to help us achieve our aims, objectives and goals and to get as much as possible out of the funds we raise. Most of the projects we fund will be within the UK, however doesn't have to be a UK registered charity, we will still consider partnerships, support and funding award where appropriate to do so, within our funding capabilities. Our work and funding is primarily within the UK, however is not restricted or limited and at times, we may on occasions provide awards to support causes outside of the UK.
Black Lives Matter Foundation UK will partner with corporate, commercial business as well as charitable causes who want to eradicate racism and we will distribute funding awards to black led projects, groups, organisations and anti-racist charities we choose, our funding projects are inclusive and may have non-black staff and others working alongside or using the project, service, and as long as the project or purpose of funding fits the criteria subject to the eligibility in our funding framework this inclusivity is ultimately with the goal in eradicating racism. Our work and funding is primarily within the UK, however is not restricted or limited and at times, we may on occasions provide awards to support causes outside of the UK.
Black Lives Matter Foundation will complete administrative reports that supports our funding account information to ensure all funds distributed is done correctly with an annual round up report at the end of each year and or financial year 2020-21, published in 2022 - leaving us free for the rest of the year to concentrate on what we need to do more of and that is to support Black Lives Matter UK (www.blacklivesmatter.uk) to achieve raising as much funds as possible in the interest of racial equality, social justice equity and equal opportunities.
The Black Lives Matter Foundation will be co-funding awards during 2021 and aim to continue beyond into the future.
Black Lives STILL Matter and will always matter.
Purpose - The purpose of the Black Lives Matter Foundation is to provide a firming base building upwards and to build 'Black better' with the resources dedicated to black lives.
To distribute funding (subject to availability), generally within the UK in order to fill the lack of expenditure and deficits from central and local governments consistent and inefficient support for Black people and communities and to avoid the adverse effects of racism that creates inequalities leaving Black people to be less than equal - Racism underlies lack of opportunities is consistently oppressive, and subsequently difficulties if succeeding as a categorised group and or individually and a lifetime of trauma, harm, hardship.
Of course those who knows feel it and we know racism starts the very day Black and Brown babies are born into a systemic racist system and society, however it all starts to negatively impact the Black and Brown child the moment he or she walks through the school gate as loving parents hand their innocence child unaffected by racism over to the care of the institutional educational system, for long 12 years, until around age 18.
Children starting as early as in primary school experience racism within an educational system that (inadvertently and or cultured and mastered) sets Black kids up to fail and White kids up to succeed. Black and Brown children begin to realise subconsciously in the psyche, the human soul, mind and spirit they are not good enough, not valued as much as the White children and soon becomes apparent even when not verbalised in feeling or vocalised, and as it happen between parent and child for some time, (too hurtful to hear too hard to express, so kept silent for a few years) so the discriminated child falls back taking their assumed position and place behind White children in every way, and the darker the skin the further behind in value they go. This repeats itself in the whole of society as the child expands independently and as a categorised group navigating the purpose built obstacles out into the wider world as adults.
A system, a culture of discrimination, racism that has been and still is incomprehensible accepted, fostered and adopted and has been for far too long. We expected most to agree it's over time for systematic change and the opportunity is here with us all right now, let grab it and don't let go to we reach the top of the mountain.
We have a UK system that doesn't care to nurture Black kids as they do White kids to reach their full potential. A system that invests in White kids expecting them to do better and Black kids to do less than better, less than White kids often ignoring Black Kids true and actual ability to succeed.
We have an educational system that prefers, includes and nurtures White kids to succeed that is the very same flawed system that simultaneously (unwittingly or not) shows contempt, habitually excludes and neglects Black kids. Perceives and views Black kids behaviour differently often accused of having a 'bad attitude' when standing up for what they feel is acts of injustice and or generally acting (out) in the same manner as White kids, however interpreted differently as 'bad behaviour' 'challenging' often considered 'threating' and 'aggressive' subsequently leading to harsher sanctions, disproportionally and recklessly excluding from school without due care, some into PRU's and on occasions without any education at far to making extremely vulnerable to the streets setting Black and Brown children up to fail is ultimately a flawed and failed system that needs to be overhauled with systematic change. And as priority.
We tackle racism by investing and believing in Black and Brown children and young people who we know can do far better when freed from the weighted burden of racism, when given the space, the chance opportunity and their voice that will be heard – Nurtured by supporting adults in environment that believes in them, then they will succeed.
We champion Black and Brown children for the future ahead, their adult future that's not too far in the distant when the stakes are higher and ability to function and succeed is potentially lost, in a state that remains discriminatory and the odds are against you and not calling you on - We've got our children's back to push forward and still waiting for the system to catch up.
British schools have failed to deal with institutional racism since the early mid 40's, by know the system should know better but is clearly lacking any real care or actual awareness, clarity of the ramification of suffering racial discrimination for 12 long years in education, and some times longer as it don't stop there if going to university. For the last decade children have been discard like rotten apples tainted hanging about in the fruit bowl that that has to be binned, excluded as not good enough and gone too far to pay any positive attention to - nothing quite compares to the apples teacher used to, expect and prefers, taken care of attention paid and favoured.
The educational system has long been institutionally racist and has done little to fix their failures and short comings and simply defaults to be institutionally racist to a categorised cohort of students that is non-White. Offers no adequate response or effort in action to tackle racism in the education system, but it inaction has long perpetuated upholding and endorses the system and institution of racism in education that's not to dissimilar from their parents past experiences, much of the same stories arises from as all those year ago, only today the learning establishments simply don't bother to retain in school preferring to exclude rather than take responsibility to change their way, but to blame the children and parents.
So, now students, parents, civil and social activists and even teachers are demanding a more assertive and bold effort to eradicate racism in all its forms to come out as anti-racist opposed to long held silence and passive surrender as if "it's the way" it should be or has to be if you non-White.
'Anti-racist education' is a progressive alternative to 'diversity and inclusion' currently it appears for Black and Brown children there's diversity but little 'inclusion' in the Diversity & Inclusion Policy, maybe a more fitting title would be 'Diversity and Exclusion'.
Many progressive educators are waking up to the pervasive extent of systemic racism that's equally embedded in our educational system as it is society, which of course makes sense, why would we not expect it to be within the learning establishment made up of people from the very society far and wide. The discriminatory culture needs to change and progressive educators want to learn more about how these embedded preconceived perception of catergorised children in our thought processes can be altered.
We aim to support children, pupils, students, particular primary through secondary and projects that support the educator too, we respect and support the teacher who wants to change the system and for children in the same school all to have similar positive experience and outcome to each ability, as well as supporting the child who both are part of one intrinsic and integral system that goes hand in hand, with only one hand you can't clap the other – The educational system sets us up for life and is probably the most important system that shapes us, shapes our future to a large extent and influences so much of us, our character, happiness and sadness and over so many years too – Show us the child we will show you the person that is an constituent part and embodies the adult, it's far too important to leave it to chance. Let's change the way in the very stage and vital, most impressionable period it can make the most difference, school years.
Anger biases based on race most certainly extend to teachers and in all establishments as it does in society, why would we expect anything different. It's all but unavoidable is a system that is long intuitional racist and defensive to truly acknowledge its needs a fundamental shift. Though this statement "institutional racist" is always going to be hard to swallow and to accept even with the past history, generation of Black and Brown adults schooled in Britain telling the same story of their experiences not to dissimilar from their children's decades apart as well as the year on year published stats and report after report of underachieving Black children. As expected many will be protective, defensive and even offended, particularly when they don't feel they have biases and or racist, but are they actively ant-racists? Anti-racism actions take continued work and effort to rid century old systems cultured for what was then even if it should be quite different in modern times. If consistently and over decades things are not working for a categorised group and getting worse than someone has to have a long hard look in the mirror. It's likely to be the dame people that have issue with the statement "Black Lives Matter" and want it both ways!
Progressive educators are now willing and doing standing up to be counted and ready to change.
Anger bias has huge consequences by increasing Black children's experiences of disliking teachers, school, education leading on to despising going to school only to be greeted with preconceived ideas and of not being understood by their teachers and for it will feel like school is not for them, all stemming from these built up bad experiences of biases of racism from primary that transfers with them to secondary, with no escape to leave it all behind. Preconceived often negative notions of Black children often leads to these children being disciplined unfairly, temporary and permanently excluded from school and at an alarming rate more often than their White peers, which can have long-term consequence going into adulthood where after leaving education it all carries on with less opportunities and when employed racism in the workplace.
Not only does it affect Black boys but it affects Black girls too who are also marginalised and misperceived as angry as and louder than White girls, with Black boys evoking the most anger bias of all. Anger bias against Black children can have many negative and dire consequences and leads to build up anger on the young person part too. Black children's negative experiences at school also contribute to the disparity achievement gap between Black and White students and little has been done to rectify and effort to close the gap.
Progressivism is where teachers believe that each child is unique and will learn individually based off what is significant for that person's life to know and understand. As a progressivist teacher will guide and coach in the classroom.
In the classroom the teacher will have a lot of group work and to have students work together to find curiosity, feeding off what each already knows. The teacher will also be able to tend to children more one on one, allowing time to help each child meet their own needs. This type of environment promotes curiosity and is a safe place for students to explore their own minds without being told they are wrong. Another thing about progressivist teachers is that they use a lot of real life examples, they are preparing children for the "real world" taking on social responsibility to discuss racism in the classroom. This way of progressive teaching still allows the children to incorporate structure with the class constructing their own knowledge. This theory is based off student direction.
Multicultural education is an educational approach which positively seeks to acknowledge, respect and embrace diversity in culture, creed, race, ethnicity language through inclusion of diversity in the school ethos, curriculum.
It's an educational failure not to educate all children of all races about racism and the silence and omission perpetuates racial discrimination to people because of their colour, culture and or ethnic origin. It can be seen to harbour racist attitudes and behaviour which amount to racial discrimination and it's an educational and social responsibility to educate and neglect through abstention and or unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping not to, which disadvantages non-White and minority ethnic people by failure to incorporate educating for Anti-Racism in learning establishments in a society of such diversity we live as full citizen, having the right to equally participate in a world and share.
Black Advocates for Children (BAC) Project is an Advocacy Project for Black Children between the ages of 9-12 based in schools and youth centres, funded through partnerships with Black Lives Matter Foundation (www.blacklivesmatterfoundation.uk), and Black Lives Matter UK www.blacklivesmatter.uk
Black Advocates for Children (BAC) Project runs over a 52 week period, 3 hours per day, 5 days per week and work swith Black children, parents and teachers within Schools and Youth Centres between the ages of 9-13, years 5-6 primary and years 7-8 secondary, important transitional years.
The project allows Black Advocates for Children (BAC) facilitators to advocate and be a voice for young BAC project participants and their parents to help them navigate where it's felt conscious/unconscious bias exists within the school educational system and society and to also support teachers to recognise the potential of biases existing when dealing with children of colour in contrast to their peers with similar behaviour and conduct. And then to question if sanction of exclusion is disproportionate to children of Black and Brown skin and unequal to children of white skin.
#3 VID Coming soon...2021
#4 VID Coming soon...2021
Aims, objectives is to support all involved and reduce all types of exclusions and transfer to PRU's, avoid sitiuations which makes young Black children vulnerable and exposed to groomers and potential harm, criminal activity, sexual exploitation and victims of crime.
To create and support a positive and productive outome in relationships, between teachers and students and the ultimate outcome of reducing sanctions of exclusions in turn increasing qualifications, participation and achievements.
Keeping Black students in mainstream school will serve to increase job opportunities, productivity and good mental health and importantly for Black and Brown children to enjoy their school experiences to the fullest extent, that remains in memory for a lifetime.
Funding applications coming soon!
The Black Lives Matter Foundation UK is aiming to provide grants of up to £1500 and will be open to applications from students and staff from primary and secondary schools, initially in the London area having the most diverse city in the world, if successful in impact and outcome we will extend across other regions of the UK.
The Black Lives Matter Foundation UK aims to support initiatives across both primary and secondary schools and within other child provisions in the community who wish to contribute to raising awareness of issues related to racial equality, social justice, diversity and equity and to challenge discrimination, racial inequalities and facilitate implementation of good anti-racist practice.
Primary and secondary staff and students are welcome to apply if they have a project that meets the above criteria and seeks to contribute to a radical and expeditious social shift, and where equality and diversity strategy are priorities for action in the area of 'race'.
If you have a project that meets the conditions of the Black Lives Matter Foundation UK and you would like to apply, please read the 'Further Information', REQUEST Application Form and send COMPLETE FORM back to email@example.com
Time for non-racist to become active anti-racist, time for inaction to evolve into action, it's time 'we' changed.

Release activity using the cmstool
Often I can see that MII customers are having problem with the transport cycle, since releasing an activity is not offered by the MII User Interface but this action has to be carried out either using NWDS or the cmstool. In order to avoid the installation of a huge 1GB Developer Studio there is a simple way of releasing activities using the cmstool. This is what I intend to detail here.
Let's start out from the assumption that an activity is already available created in the MII UI.
Let's also assume that the activity has been activated so in order to hand over the activity to Consolidation for import we need to release the activity first.
Download the cmstool
cmstool is available on the service marketplace inside the SC DICLIENTS (this is valid as of 710, on older releases it is coming with the NWDS installation and available under the eclipse folder).
cmstool is available on the service marketplace inside the SC DICLIENTS (this is valid as of 710, on older releases it is coming with the NWDS installation and available under the eclipse folder).
- Navigate to:
– http://service.sap.com/patches
– Browse our Download Catalog
– SAP NetWeaver and complementary products
– SAP NetWeaver
– Entry by Component
– Development Infrastructure
– # OS independent
- Download DICLIENTS<XXXX>.SCA
- Extract the SCA file and navigate to:DEPLOYARCHIVES/tc~di~cmd_tools~sda.sda/di_cmd_tools.zip
- Extract di_cmd_tools.zip file to your local machine from where the NWDI server is also accessible.
Start the cmstool
- Start the command line tool (Start – Run… – cmd.exe)
- Enter the cmstool folder (e.g. "cd C:\di_cmd_tools\cmstool")
- Set the following environment variables:
– set NWDITOOLLIB=..\lib
– set JAVA_HOME=<your JDK> (e.g. set JAVA_HOME= c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_37
4. Invoke the tool (cmstool.bat)
5. A log on prompt appears, please enter the corresponding data and press Enter.
6. as result the command line prompt appears:
7. connect to DTR by entering the command "cd"
List and Release activities
- Consider an activity you created on the MII UI, in this example let's call it demoactivity
- Assuming you have activated this activity, it is possible to list this activity in cmstool as follows:
:cms> la –s <software component> -w –u NWDI_DEV
The <software component> name can be figured using the command
:cms> lsc –developed
or from the DTR webui:
3. Notice the activity ID you received, in this example 871b961521f511e39abe0000005e0a6a
4. Release the activity as follows:
:cms>rel -s sap.com_SAPNWDEMO -a "871b961521f511e39abe0000005e0a6a" –cap mydemoActivityJustReleased
Note: if you use –cap with quotes ("") e.g. –cap "my test activity" then you can create more user friendly activity names separated with spaces.
Hint: use help release to see how to use the command. The help also includes examples.
Hint: use help release to see how to use the command. The help also includes examples.
5. Our last task is to go to the CMS webui, select the track, click on the Consolidation tab and Import the activity we have just released.

in Public Administration Reforms in selected Central Asia countries"
Training course for advisors
Almaty, Kazakhstan, June 26-29, 2005 (Russian language)
written by Bolotbek Orokov, leading trainer
A training course for advisors "How to be a better Policy Advisor" was implemented in Almaty, Kazakhstan on June 26-29, 2005 by NISPAcee in cooperation with the local partner Public Policy Research Center. The training was organized with the support of SlovakAid within the project "HOW TO BE A BETTER POLICY ADVISOR in Public Administration Reforms in selected Balkan and Central Asia countries".
The training was led by an international team of NISPAcee trainers - Bolotbek Orokov (The Academy of Management under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan), Meruert Makhmutova (Public Policy Research Center, Almaty, Kazakhstan) and Zulfiya Tukhtakhodjaeva (Consulting Company "Imkon-Presta", Tashkent, Uzbekistan).
The main objective of the training course is to provide the academics with an opportunity to begin the development of their knowledge and skills on public policy advice design and channels for the delivery.
The training course was conducted for 20 participants from 4 targeted Central Asian countries - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Participants of the training course work as policy advisors or are interested in participation in policy advice delivery to their central and local governments, international organizations, and other clients and would like to upgrade their knowledge and skills. They are people of different ages and have different degrees starting from bachelor till the doctoral ones in various areas of expertise such as economics, law, political sciences, education, public policy and others. They hold different posts in their respective institutions: some of them are just starting academic activity and some of them are rather experienced researchers and lecturers. The group was rather diverse; however, their current research and teaching activities are focusing on various aspects of public administration reforms in their countries. Their advising projects are also in various areas of public administration reforms such as civil service system, election system, strengthening national parliament, decentralization and developing local self-governance, support to the reform of fiscal system, border management and many others. In describing the reason for participation in the training course all of them stated that they would like to build or strengthen their advisory capacities and expected this training will provide this opportunity for them. In particular, they expected to develop analytical skills or skills of advising, to learn more about methods of problem analysis, public policy and its cycle.
After the implementation of the training course all participants pointed out that the course is really helpful, useful, and needed to them. Ms. Khusanova Nodira from Uzbekistan said that even though she considered herself as an experienced advisor, she found the training helpful in seeing other views on what policy advising is and its difference with classical academic research. She learnt that not only analytical skills, but some other advisory skills such as communication skills are also important for advisors. Now she sees policy advisors must be not only good idea generators, but also good idea communicators. Jumagul Esenalieva, participant from Kyrgyzstan, said that she is specialized in two areas: business law and education. This training gave her an opportunity to learn about the policy cycle, to learn more about government environment and for the first time think that policy advisor is a person who must use a multidisciplinary approach that is much broader than just one area of expertise. The knowledge and skills obtained during the training course will certainly help her in providing better assistance to build a school for border officers in Kyrgyzstan.
Having participated in this training all participants expressed the view that it should not be final activity. All of them felt the desperate need to work more on their personal advisory capacity strengthening. They believe NISPAcee will certainly offer them new steps in implementing these hopes. It is important especially for the Central Asian region as far as all targeted countries are facing enormous challenges in the development of democratic societies and policy advisors can play here a very important role.
Nodira Khusanova, Uzbekistan
I was satisfied of the teaching approaches used by our trainers and their high competence of the subject. Being a teacher with more than 20 years experience, I could learn from them different interactive teaching ideas that I'm going to use in my future practice.
Since I feel much mature as a public policy advisor now, I'd like to propose short-term trainings for my colleagues in the International Business School, who is interested in providing consulting services for different clients. We also are going to launch new short-term seminars for government mid-career level officials (IBS has some experience in this), as well as non-governmental organizations specialists on Public Policy and Non-for-profit Management.
The participants of Almaty seminar were selected perfectly. It was much pleasure to meet all those people, who are high professionals in their areas and very good communicable people. We still keep in touch with them and full of enthusiasm to continue our communications and professional cooperation.
Almagul Zhumabekova, Kazakhstan
Through the rich and diverse content I was able to know more about policy paper, knowledge which was helped me in my job as a lecturer. Similarly, I was able to share the experiences and lessons learned with my colleagues. The found it quite useful and are adapting some to their own job. Equally significant were the classes I derived from interacting with course mates from different job from mine. It really helped in broadening my vision and understanding of how to be a really good policy advisor.
So I feel it was a rare chance to participate in this training. What.s more, we attained more information about worldwide government policy papers (Green and White), measures and successful experiences related in CIS. We.ll continue to work actively and effectively to develop, promote and implement policies advises, and look forward to assisting public officers and lecturers to fulfill their potential , so that they may look to the future with confidence and optimism.
Askarbek Mambetaliev, Kyrgyzstan
I think that the training was the excellent opportunity to develop skills necessary for an effective policy advisor. Through well-organized workshops, interactive seminars and open discussions I got better idea of the nature of work in multicultural groups and learned how to do attention-grabbing presentations. The training also helped me to contemplate on the development process of public policy advising, especially on monitoring and evaluation strategies.
I believe that any project needs effective methods for monitoring and evaluation to perform better results on the next circle of the development. Therefore, the idea presented by NISPAcee training can be applied in many aspects of life. Would be great to continue such trainings in the region.
Durbek Mukhamedov, Uzbekistan
I would like to establish course on Public Administration course in the frame of the Institute of Management at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy. I will use materials which I received during the seminar in Almaty and some other materials for establishing this course. I am planning also use some materials from NISPA website.
Jumagul Esenalieva, Kyrgyzstan
Using this opportunity I would like to thank you and all NISPAcee staff for organizing this training course for academic advisors.
This training was well thought-out and logical in terms of its topics and their order of presenting.
The best practices of interactive teaching methods used during this training have resulted a balance between the delivery of information and opportunities for listeners to apply that information in hands-on practice, exercises, case studies, role plays etc.
The trainers selected for this training are highly qualified specialists and fully meet the requirements for this kind of training.
I would particularly mention an excellent administration of this training. It was a well-coordinated work at all stages (pre-training work, training process, cultural programme, etc.).
I think that the best criteria for assessing any kind of work is its successful or unsuccessful implementation. This training resulted the following contributions to my professional activity: review all my previous professional background in the light of advisory capacity; re-identify my current working position; make some practical corrections in my ToR; conceive my personal advisory qualities and skills; adjust my current activity according to conceived advisory qualities and skills. This is only an initial stage. I hope that more significant outcomes are in a foreseeable future.
Rustamjon Urinboev, Uzbekistan
I am sure that this training course changed me in many positive ways. Actually, as a student I can say for sure that this training course was well-organized and worth participating because it dealed with such important issues that current Central Asian states would consider. As for the training experience, I gained much experience regarding the skills of policy advisor in such spheres as policy analysis, policy paper and etc. I believe that I will realize NISPAcee training experience in relevant positions.
I am determined to assist my government in democratization processes and the knowledge and expertise obtained at the training course would be very useful in fulfilling my professional and academic objectives.

Columbia Sportswear Ravenous
Tackle any terrain in these midweights, and don't worry about blisters. We–er, they–guarantee it.
Brand: Columbia Sportswear
Model: Ravenous
Big-boot stability meets approach-shoe agility in these do-everything hybrids. After off-trail canyon-country days comprised of sandy washes, baby-head-littered sidehills, and slickrock passes, one tester proclaimed, "I could cruise, climb, and descend with a 45-pound pack and never fear losing my footing, even after a storm dumped inches of snow." The versatility alone would make these standout boots, but the universally comfortable fit puts them in a class by themselves.
Here are the four key ingredients. 1) A Y-shaped plastic exoskeleton (reinforced with a tiny steel cable) secures your heel for no-rub striding. 2) The "multi-fit footbed" (picture a thin and thick insole sandwiched together) let our testers adjust the boot's volume by keeping or removing the thin layer. 3) To-the-toe lacing enabled testers to size the toebox to their liking and easily adjust midday, when feet swell. 4) A thin neoprene ankle collar keeps sand and debris from working into the boot and causing hot spots. A 76-year-old European gear company, Salewa is so confident in the fit system that it offers a blister-free guarantee. If your boot is sized right and "used in an appropriate manner" (pustules from running an ultramarathon in trekking boots won't fly) and you still get a blister, you get a free exchange.
"It seems as preposterous as if Firestone issued a no-flat guarantee," says our senior editor. "But after wear-testing three different Salewas this year—a low-top approach shoe, an alpine mountaineering boot, and these trekking boots—I'm a believer. I didn't have a single hot spot from Rainier to Longs Peak to Capitol Reef." Fine print: Trail-test as soon as you get the boots—the guarantee is only good for the first two weeks you own them. Waterproofing (the Gore-Tex liner didn't leak a drop) and durability (Kevlar lines the midsole and bottom third of the boot's suede upper) are also top-notch. $179; 2 lbs. 6 oz. (men's 9); m's 7-12, w's 6-10; salewa.usA trail shoe with cutting edge design and detailed engineering. Designed for the athlete looking to attack rugged terrain with speed and aggressiveness. This shoe delivers an unsurpassed lightweight and nimble feel, and great traction on wet, muddy or dry trails.

The site located at the Gariganus farm, close to Keetmanshoop, became so famous for its forest of about 250 'Quiver Tree' that it has been declared a National Monument.
You don't find a lot of grass in the arid south of Namibia. Trees are also scarce. Succulents - water-storing plants - are the main vegetation of the south.
The most impressive of these trees is the Kokerboom or Quivertree, indigenous and endemic to the hot and dry southern part of Namibia and Namaqualand in South Africa.
It can reach a height of 9 metres and is frequently found, amongst other places, in the area surrounding Keetmanshoop.
One of the most spectacular and most photographed Kokerboom or Quiver tree forest is located about 13 kilometres north-east of Keetmanshoop.
If you arrive there at about sunset, you will definitely believe that you are on another planet.
The Quiver tree or "Kokerboom" have adapted to the extreme environmental conditions by storing water in their trunks.
Apparently, the tree only blossoms for the first time after 20 to 30 years and can easily reach 300 years of age.
The wood is very light and spongy inside. And because the trunk and branches can be easily hollowed out, they were used by the local San hunters to make quivers, giving its name to this tree.

Timeshares - Timeshares1. Sarah, Send Your Driver* 2. Chinese Coffee Torture 3. Everybody Doops
Oneonta's The Knockdown recently lost their singer to warmer climates. Without missing a step, the rest of the band jumped right back in and formed Timeshares. I have no idea who is singing on this, Jay? It's usually the first name on the myspace. It instantly reminds me of Pennsylvania's Digger and Yo Man Go. This 3 song EP is spot on. If you liked Captain, We're Sinking, you'll definitely like this.

H10 Hotels has opened the doors to its recently acquired H10 Tribeca, a four-star establishment with 140 rooms and an ideal location in Madrid's main business district. After several months of refurbishments to adapt it to the chain's quality standards, the hotel now offers more modern facilities and new services.The H10 Tribeca stands on Calle Pedro Teixeira in Madrid's financial district, just a few feet from Paseo de la Castellana and Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The area also has good transport links, a large area of shops and a wide range of bars and restaurants.The refurbishment project was carried out by renowned interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán and focused mainly on the hotel's communal areas, with an ambience that takes its inspiration from the industrial world of New York and the Tribeca neighbourhood of Manhattan. The lobby houses an impressive library with double height ceilings and bare brickwork, as well as a large range of books available for guests to enjoy as they relax on the comfortable benches and armchairs. The space has a wide array of decorative pieces, such as industrial-style steel lamps, wooden furniture, leather armchairs and framed original street plans of New York's neighbourhoods, all of which give it a unique, welcoming atmosphere.
The Lobby Bar, located next to the library, offers a selection of light dishes such as salads, sandwiches and snacks. It's the ideal place for some after-work relaxation with a cocktail or a gin and tonic.Behind the Lobby Bar is the Soho Restaurant, which serves a full buffet breakfast consisting of around 60 products. Throughout the day it also offers a new menu of light dishes based on Mediterranean cuisine. Guests can enjoy their meals in a restaurant that offers the same welcoming ambience as the lobby bar and is separated from the other areas by tall walls in different shades of brown.The 140 bright, comfortable and spacious rooms are equipped with everything you need for a most enjoyable stay. They feature an LCD TV with international channels, minibar, digital safe box and air conditioning.

These bright, soundproofed spaces with exterior windows can be joined together to accommodate up to 60 people. They are fully equipped with everything required for holding any type of event. Their translucent glass walls are reminiscent of the glass walls used to section off office space in factories, adding to the industrial theme of the hotel's ground floor.Lastly, the guests at the H10 Tribeca can enjoy free Wi-Fi, a Business Corner and private parking.As well as the H10 Tribeca, the company has another two establishments in Madrid: the H10 Villa de la Reina, a Boutique Hotel located on Gran Vía, and the recently acquired H10 Puerta de Alcalá.

Feeds and animal nutrition
Feeds play a key role in the safety of the food chain
Most of the feeds fed to food-producing animals are both produced and used on Finnish farms. A considerable share of the raw materials used in the domestic animal feed industry comes from Finnish farms or the domestic foodstuffs industry, but some raw materials are also imported. Feed costs are a major factor in the economies of livestock farms.
Finland has a long tradition of controlling the safety and quality of animal feeds and their raw materials. For example, the incidence of salmonella in animal feeds has been monitored since 1960 and the current system of hygiene control own-checks was launched jointly by the controlling authorities and feed producers in the early 1990s.
The purpose of feed legislation is to ensure the quality, safety and traceability of feeds and the provision of appropriate information on feeds. The main objective is to safeguard animal health and the high quality of foods of animal origin. In addition to feedstuffs for food-producing animals, feed legislation also applies to feeds for fur animals and pet foods.
The quality and safety of animal feeds are controlled by the Finnish Food Authority.

Farmingville, NY - The weekly On October 15, Councilman Dan Panico (pictured) was on-hand when the Town demolished a vacant and abandoned "zombie house" at 63 Huntington Drive in Mastic Beach. The long-abandoned house was the source of resident complaints leading to numerous Town of Brookhaven housing code violations. It was demolished in accordance with Chapter 73 of the Town Code which provides a "fast track" to rid neighborhoods of unsafe structures. The cost of demolition and debris removal is the responsibility of the property owner, and the Town places a lien on the property that is then placed on the tax bill. The County reimburses the Town and then they collect the money from the property owner.Councilman Dan Panico said, "The house at 63 Huntington Drive was demolished to the delight of neighbors in the area. We are going to continue to be relentless until there are no more demolitions to be done, and that day is coming soon. We are down to less than a handful in the community."

mp3Tag RULES!
Let me just say this thing rocks… I need to clean up my MP3 tags because of my new iPod… I was doing a lot of manipulating with Perl, but this is so much easier. It runs under windows, but does handle most Perl REs…
Anyway, I highly recommend adding these two new "Actions" I wrote:
- Remove "/N" from "n/N" track numbers
Replace with regular expression Field: TRACK Regular expression: (\d+)/\d+ Replace matches with: $1
- Force track numbers to be 2 digits. (You can do this in file renaming with '$num("%track%",2)' but I cannot find another quick way to fix the TAG)
Replace with regular expression Field: TRACK Regular expression: ^(\d)$ Replace matches with: 0$1
These two actions can be applied together in the order listed.

What is myalgic encephalomyelitis and what are the myalgic encephalomyelitis symptoms? Otherwise known as ME or chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis is a condition causing extreme mental and physical tiredness above and beyond what you might expect to feel at the end of a tough week.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis can affect people of any age or sex, but seems to be more common in women aged between 40 and 50. The condition varies in severity a great deal. Some people are able to continue with normal life, albeit with a few concessions to allow adequate rest, whereas others become completely housebound and unable to do anything for months or even years.
What are the myalgic encephalomyelitis symptoms?
ME symptoms do not appear overnight. Most people experience a gradual onset of symptoms over the cause of several months and as the condition worsens, normal activities become more and more difficult. What might have once been an easy level of exertion soon becomes an impossible task, and one which leaves you exhausted for more than 24 hours.
The main symptom of ME is extreme tiredness. Unlike the type of tiredness you might feel following a few nights of interrupted sleep, the fatigue experienced by sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome can leave the person feeling utterly drained and unable to function. But whereas a healthy person would have an early night and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, an ME patient could spend a week in bed resting and still feel no better. Normal everyday activities can become impossible with ME and even a simple activity such as walking downstairs will leave the person feeling completely exhausted.
As well as constant fatigue, ME causes a gradual deterioration in general health and most patients will also experience a range of other symptoms as their condition progresses.
Symptoms of myalgic encephalomyelitis include the following:
- Flu-like symptoms
- Cognitive problems including confusion, memory problems, and poor concentration
- Muscle and joint aches and pains
- Painful glands
- Unexplained headaches
- Swollen and painful glands in the neck and armpits
- Pins and needles
- Mouth ulcers
- Rashes
- Sleep problems
- Depression and mood swings
- Digestive problems
However, this is not an exhaustive list and some people will experience other symptoms as well as some of those listed.
How is chronic fatigue syndrome treated?
ME is a difficult condition to diagnose and treatment will normally aim to reduce the severity of the symptoms. Medication such as paracetamol can help to reduce the physical aches and pains while antidepressants will alleviate any symptoms of depression.
In many cases there are various types of self-help techniques that can alleviate the problems faced by those suffering from ME. Making lifestyle changes that include adequate rest intervals can help the person continue with some of their normal activities, or at least find a level of everyday exertion that they can manage.
Other possible avenues of treatment for those suffering from the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome include alternative therapies such as acupuncture, aromatherapy, and relaxation therapy, plus homeopathic remedies can sometimes help.

As frigid weather grips much of the U.S. during January, tropical Hawaii beckons in the Pacific, luring visitors from the cold, ice, and snow of the North American winter. Of course, soaking up sun on a beach is just one of many activities for vacationers in Hawaii. Factory tours offer an entertaining diversion from sand and sea. Read about some of them here, and consult Watch It Made in the U.S.A. to see our full coverage of Hawaiian factory tours.
Sweet deals
In Hilo, it seems that Big Island Candies is prepared to dip almost anything in chocolate: animal crackers, fortune cookies, even cuttlefish. The company's more conventional products include original and chocolate-dipped shortbread and local favorites such as macadamia nuts. On this self-guided tour, you look through big glass windows at the cylindrical melters that liquefy huge batches of chocolate. Big Island Candies is one of the few facilities of this size that still dip by hand: dippers in black aprons fill their bowls at the melters.
Sweet things include more than just candy. Founded in 1851, Dole Pineapple Plantation in Wahiawa is the largest producer and marketer of fresh fruits and vegetables in the world. Located on Oahu's North Shore, the Dole Plantation has a visitor center in a splendid replica of a plantation mansion. Surrounding the center of the building is a traditional cooling verandah, ringed by tall trees and luxuriant shrubs. Inside, a marketplace, a country store, and a series of building façades attempt to give an impression of old Haleiwa Town. Displays tell the history of the pineapple business and how experts choose and slice pineapples.
Going nuts
Though almost all macadamia nuts are grown in Hawaii, the nut is actually native to Australia and wasn't grown in Hawaii until 1921. In 1976 Mauna Loa began marketing macadamia nuts in Hilo. This tour lets you look through gallery windows at processing and packaging.
The process begins with shelling. (Ingeniously, the entire plant runs on the renewable energy provided by burning shells and husks.) Then the nuts enter the main factory. Electric eyes grade and sort the nuts, allowing only light, uniformly colored specimens to reach the roaster. Blue-hatted workers stand over the conveyor belt, also searching for rejects. The nuts are dry-roasted in large rectangular ovens, traveling slowly on conveyor belts for 15 minutes. When roasting ends, the nuts are sorted again: some are salted, candy-glazed, or made into nut brittle. The packaging machine shoots the nuts into fast-moving open metal tins, which then move down the line for vacuum sealing.
Coffee machines
Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that produces coffee. In a guided tour at Holualoa Kona Coffee Company, you see the processing operation. First comes the hulling, in which parchment beans are dumped into a tall and thin elevator. The elevator pours them into the huller, which removes the parchment skin to reveal green coffee beans, which are then dropped by another elevator into the grader. The grader comprises a series of screens with different-sized holes stacked on top of each other: the screens shake, causing the coffee beans to fall through the holes they fit into. The largest (and best) beans are separated. Peaberry, the most valuable bean, has a distinct flavor and shape. A gravity table further separates the coffee, this time by density.
In the next building, you see the coffee whirl in the 40-pound roaster; air from a blower tosses the coffee beans around to prevent burning. The person who does the roasting explains how to take care of your coffee and how to distinguish good beans from low-quality ones. As it turns out, medium-roast coffee has more caffeine than dark-roast kinds because the longer coffee is roasted, the more caffeine is roasted out.

I used to keep a diary, well, it was more like a journal of daily activity. It all started after my eldest daughter gave me a fountain pen and a moleskin book.
Diary Snapshot
Most of the entries were pretty dull, but as I was researching my family history at the time, I thought it would be a good idea to keep a journal as a snapshot in time for any future generations. As I saw the weekly prompt was 'daily-diary', it motivated me to get the pile of books out of the cupboard in the spare bedroom and read through them. Honestly, they are full of mundane entries like, 'I stayed in bed this morning as I am working nightshift this evening….' or 'the twat next door is playing his out of tune guitar way too loud, I want to throw a jar of pickled eggs at him!' Every now and then, a more interesting entry would crop up that I had completely forgotten.
'Saturday, June 27th, 2009:
I went to the greyhound race track in Hall Green this evening with some of the lads from work. It was to celebrate the upcoming summer break. I'm not a gambling man, so I was a little out of my depth, but the socialising was good fun. The racing was over by 9:30pm and we retired to the bar for a few beers. I sat next to Dave, who I knew but not too well. He was one of those guys I always tried to steer clear of, a personality thing but I don't know why as he was quite pleasant. A local lad with a local accent we started talking about the usual things, football, music and where I lived etc. The beer flowed freely as you'd expect with a group of guys on a night out. The time must have been around 11:00 pm when out of the blue, taking me by surprise, Dave started talking in a broad Scottish accent! Never before have I heard anyone change complete accent midway through an evening out. It was bizarre, so much so that I disappeared to the toilet. When I returned, Dave was talking to another guy, still using his Scottish voice and I could see the other guy was looking as confused as I was!'
'Monday, June 29th, 2009:
Spoke to some of the guys at work today about Saturday night and asked them for their thoughts on Dave's strange accent. Typical answers include, 'Oh, he's nuts..' 'Yeah, he's not all there..' 'Weirdo'. So it seems he has this strange need to talk the way he does, but only when it suits him. I have never heard anything like it before in my life.'
I then fast forward to another entry in July where Dave asked me for a lift home as he knew I went past his house. No problem, I didn't mind at all.
'Friday, July 10th, 2009:
Early shift today, finished at noon. Dave asked if I could drop him home. As always on a Friday afternoon, the traffic is heavy. We reached the A45 and then got stuck in traffic. As we sat there, Dave's phone rang. He answered and immediately started talking in a broad Scottish accent! I found it highly amusing at first, after all, it was like sitting next to Billy Connolly. "Aye, we're stuck in traffic, so I dannae ken when I'll be hume." What a palava!! He must have been talking for at least 10 minutes before we got moving again and he said goodbye to who ever it was on the line. As soon as he put the phone back in his pocket he said to me in his usual Brummie accent, "That was the missus. Her wanted to know where I was." So surrealistic.
Well, that's a couple of entries from my pile of diaries. I'm sure there are many other little stories tucked away in there somewhere. Who knows, I may even start writing them again, though I feel they would be even more banal these days especially being confined indoors through this Corona virus.
This post is in response to the Weekly Prompts
P.S. Dave isn't the guys real name although the story is true.

The copy we are selling is similar to the one pictured above.
Sonic Grade
Side One:
Side Two:
Vinyl Grade
Side One: Mint Minus Minus
Side Two: Mint Minus Minus
- A killer copy of this classic from Joe Walsh that boasts a Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) side two mated to an excellent Double Plus (A++) side one
- Forget whatever dead-as-a-doornail Heavy Vinyl record they're making these days - if you want to hear the Tubey Magic, size and energy of this wonderful album, a vintage pressing like this one is the only way to go
- Includes a couple of classic tracks, notably "Welcome to the Club" and a remake of "Turn to Stone"
- You'll hear most of the Eagles playing on this one, produced and engineered by the redoubtable Bill Szymczyk
- "So What sees Walsh in top form as a guitarist. Most of the nine tracks feature solos of unquestionable quality in his usual rock style."
100% Money Back Guarantee on all Hot Stampers
FREE Domestic Shipping on all LP orders over $150
Vintage covers for this album are hard to find in exceptionally clean shape. Most of the will have at least some amount of ringwear, seam wear and edge wear. We guarantee that the cover we supply with this Hot Stamper is at least VG
We were impressed with how rich and punchy this copy sounded after hearing dozens of dry, thin, lifeless pressings over the years. Once we had heard that at least one copy sound good we proceeded to gather up every LP we could get our hands on and make this shootout happen.
Unfortunately, most of what we ended up playing had the kind of mediocre sound we had been suffering through for decades. The best copies had real energy, surprising dynamics, and lots of that '70s Tubey Magic we love so much and never tire of talking about. (It's also a sound that you will have a very hard time finding on most Heavy Vinyl pressings being made these days, as you doubtless know.)
The better pressings have (relatively; this is still Joe Walsh album we're talking about) rich, warm guitars and vocals, supported by tight, punchy bass. Most copies were far less energetic and dynamic than this one. Excellent transparency as well.
All in all, this is pretty much as good as it gets for Joe Walsh in 1974. The very next year he would become an Eagle and help those boys knock it out of the park with Hotel California.
What The Best Sides Of So What Have To Offer Is Not Hard To Hear
- The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space
- The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing. CDs give you clean and clear. Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes in 1974
- Tight, note-like, rich, full-bodied bass, with the correct amount of weight down low
- Natural tonality in the midrange -- with all the instruments having the correct timbre
- Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional studio space
No doubt there's more but we hope that should do for now. Playing the record is the only way to hear all of the qualities we discuss above, and playing the best pressings against a pile of other copies under rigorously controlled conditions is the only way to find a pressing that sounds as good as this one does.
This vintage ABC pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records can barely BEGIN to reproduce. Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn't showing signs of coming back. If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to "see" the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with the band, this is the record for you. It's what vintage all analog recordings are known for -- this sound.
If you exclusively play modern repressings of vintage recordings, I can say without fear of contradiction that you have never heard this kind of sound on vinyl. Old records have it -- not often, and certainly not always -- but maybe one out of a hundred new records do, and those are some pretty long odds.
What We're Listening For On So What
Less grit -- smoother and sweeter sound, something that is not easy to come by on any recording engineered or produced by Bill Szymczyk.
A bigger presentation -- more size, more space, more room for all the instruments and voices to occupy. The bigger the speakers you have to play this record the better.
More bass and tighter bass. This is fundamentally a pure rock record. It needs weight down low to rock the way the engineers wanted it to.
Present, breathy vocals. A veiled midrange is the rule, not the exception.
Good top end extension to reproduce the harmonics of the instruments and details of the recording including the studio ambience.
Last but not least, balance. All the elements from top to bottom should be heard in harmony with each other. Take our word for it, assuming you haven't played a pile of these yourself, balance is not that easy to find.
Our best copies will have it though, of that there is no doubt.
Not only is it hard to find great copies of this album, it ain't easy to play 'em either. You're going to need a hi-res, super low distortion front end with careful adjustment of your arm in every area -- VTA, tracking weight, azimuth and anti-skate -- in order to play this album properly. If you've got the goods you're gonna love the way this copy sounds. Play it with a budget cart / table / arm and you're likely to hear a great deal less magic than we did.
Vinyl Condition
Mint Minus Minus and maybe a little better is about as quiet as any original ABC pressing will play, and since only the right originals have any hope of sounding good on this album, that will most often be the playing condition of the copies we sell. (The copies that are even a bit noisier get traded back in to the local record stores we shop at.)
Those of you looking for quiet vinyl will have to settle for the sound of later pressings and Heavy Vinyl reissues, purchased elsewhere of course as we have no interest in selling records that don't have the vintage analog magic that is a key part of the appeal of these wonderful recordings.
If you want to make the trade-off between bad sound and quiet surfaces with whatever Heavy Vinyl pressing might be available, well, that's certainly your prerogative, but we can't imagine losing what's good about this music -- the size, the energy, the presence, the clarity, the weight -- just to hear it with less background noise.
Another Record That's Tough to Play
This album, like any album by Joe Walsh, ranks fairly high on our Difficulty of Reproduction Scale. Do not attempt to play it using anything other than the highest quality equipment, especially if you expect to turn it up good and loud as it was meant to be heard.
Side One
- Welcome To The Club
- Falling Down
- Pavanne
- Time Out
- All Night Laundry Mat Blues
Side Two
- Turn To Stone
- Help Me Thru The Night
- County Fair
- Song For Emma
AMG Review
Joe Walsh's catalog by this point was two albums strong and of a consistently high quality. Despite a change of lineup for So What -- a wide range of musicians is used, including the Eagles' Don Henley -- the sound is very similar to previous releases.
A number of classic Walsh tracks are featured, including a more polished version of "Turn to Stone," originally featured on his debut album, Barnstorm, in a somewhat more riotous style. "Help Me Thru the Night," Walsh's mellowest song to date, is helped along by some fine lead and backing vocals from the band.
So What sees Walsh in top form as a guitarist. Most of the nine tracks feature solos of unquestionable quality in his usual rock style. The classic rock genre that the man so well defined with his earlier albums is present here throughout, and it is pulled off with the usual unparalleled Joe Walsh ability.

Here's the first chapter of Bones in the Basement – surviving the S.K. Pierce House. Soon to be published.
Haunted House for Sale
The house was waiting for them.
The three-story Victorian Mansion sat vacant for two full years, looking every bit the haunted house. People drove past slowly, staring up at the empty windows, wondering if the rumors were true. The house was supposed to be haunted.
The Victorian was built in 1875 by Sylvester Knowlton Pierce, a wealthy furniture magnate in the town of Gardner, Massachusetts. The Second Empire Victorian mansion was considered to be a modern marvel of its time. It had two cisterns that once collected rainwater from the slate roof, providing the occupants with running water, something unheard of in the late 1880's. The house was outfitted with gas lighting, speaking tubes and electric bells for communication throughout the house, and even boasted a dumb waiter which reached three floors. The hand-carved moldings and cornices spoke volumes of a time when houses were built carefully and lovingly. It had 26 rooms, with 4 bathrooms, and a tower with a circular staircase leading to a widow's walk, providing sweeping views of South Gardner.
The massive doors were nine-feet tall, constructed of solid black walnut and weighed well over five-hundred pounds apiece. Every inch of woodwork was elaborately carved, signifying the status of wealth and opportunity. No detail was overlooked. No cost was too great. The house was simply a masterpiece.
In its 133 year history, the house had lived a variety of lives. After providing a home to the Peirce family for over fifty years, it would also become a boarding house and an artist's retreat. Legends surrounded it a plenty. Stories of death, destruction, and murder tainted its history, making people wonder about the rumors.
Children gave the house a wide berth at Halloween, crossing the street as they approached, so they wouldn't get too close. People who lived in the area whispered stories to one another. Some saw faces at the windows or heard strange noises; others had more personal stories to share.
When the house was vacant during the 1980's and 1990's, children would slip through the basement window and wander through the house, daring one another to explore the massive structure. Furniture still remained in most of the rooms, dusty and faded, harking back to a time long past. As the children played hide-and-go-seek, one child hid in a closet on the second floor that had once been part of a dumbwaiter. As the child crouched in the darkness, he felt hands clasp around his shoulder. He bolted from the closet, turning to see the smiling apparition of a child smirking back at him. The image would remain with him for decades.
When the house went onto the real estate market in 2006, many people were interested in seeing in. By this time, it had been featured on the SyFy Channel's paranormal reality show, Ghost Hunters. It was now more than a local novelty. It was famous, but nobody could buy it.
It's as though the house were waiting for the right people to come along.
Prospective homeowners flocked to the massive Victorian, armed with cameras and wide eyes. Offers were made, but every one of them fell through. After a while, the realtor began screening the viewings, not allowing anyone to bring cameras into the house, wary of all the would-be ghost hunters.
The house was haunted. Everyone knew it except for its future owners.
They would find out soon enough though.
The house was waiting for them and it wouldn't let go of until it had fulfilled its darkest desires. And once it did, it would expel them from its depths, running for their lives.

The ATHENS BIOWASTE project aims at the pilot screening of bio source in selected areas of the Municipalities of Athens and Kifissia and their processing plant in Mechanical and Biological Treatment (EMAK) of ESDKNA to produce high quality compost.
Furthermore, by developing appropriate software tools it will identify the benefits of sustainable methods for managing biowaste on emissions of greenhouses gases (contribution to climate change), while an assessment will be carried out on the quality of compost produced given the composition and methods of collection of biowaste. Through these objectives and through the development of an appropriate guide will promote and foster the market for compost and create awareness of the general public, the competent authorities and other stakeholders regarding the management of biowaste. In addition, proposals will be drafted to amend the specifications and legislation for waste management.
The specific objectives are:
- The development of integrated management of biowaste in Greece
- The evaluation of alternative management options for biowaste based on its whole life cycle
- The evaluation of the final quality of compost according to the characteristics of input materials and other operating parameters
- The formation of the basis for establishing a market for compost in Greece
- The evaluation of alternative screening systems
- The configuration of the first separation at source system for biowaste in Greece
- The provision of guidance to local waste management authorities for the management of biowaste
- The increase of environmental awareness and knowledge of citizens, authorities and other interested stakeholders on the management of biowaste
- The preparation of proposals to amend the existing technical specifications contained in the Greek legislation
