|Hawa Abdi, M.D
Sunday, June 24, 2012
Somali doctor and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Hawa Abdi, M.D., will visit Saint Louis University to share her fight to provide a home, school and hospital for 90,000 impoverished refugees on her family's property. The event, which is open to the general public, will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 1 at St. Francis Xavier College Church.
Abdi will talk about how she initially built her community, which started as a one-room health care clinic, nearly two decades ago. Thousands of starving and sick refugees - primarily women and children - flocked to her farmland. Abdi welcomed them and, with her two daughters who are also doctors, tended to the medical needs of community.
They also expanded the scope of services they offered to include educating, feeding and providing water to community members. Abdi and her foundation established a school, implemented sustainable farming practices and mounted an engineering program to solve problems with water and energy. The community became one of the largest camps for internationally displaced people in Somalia.
Two years ago, armed military militia ransacked Abdi's hospital and held her at gunpoint. Abdi demanded that they apologize, and they backed down and left the camp.
Abdi was named Glamour magazine's 2010 Woman of the Year, and described as equal parts of Mother Teresa and Rambo.
While Abdi's fight for social justice continues, her vision of a model community is in peril. Earlier this year, fighters from a Harakat Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen, which is affiliated with Al Qaeda, illegally seized her land, and broke up her small model city, scattering thousands across war-torn and impoverished Somalia.
Because of the conflict and continued violence in Somalia, Abdi could not attend the Women in the World Foundation summit in March to accept the Women of Impact Award.
The American Friends Service Committee has nominated Abdi for the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize for her decades of humanitarian service and efforts to build peace in Somalia.
Abdi's talk will be sponsored by the Center for World Health and Medicine and Great Issues Committee at Saint Louis University.
Saint Louis University is a Catholic, Jesuit university ranked among the top research institutions in the nation. The University fosters the intellectual and character development of more than 13,000 students. Founded in 1818, it is the oldest university west of the Mississippi and the second oldest Jesuit university in the United States. Through teaching, research, health care and community service, Saint Louis University has provided one-of-a-kind education, leadership and service for nearly two centuries.

The Kamikaze (神風?, common translation: "divine wind") [kamikaꜜze]( listen) Tokubetsu Kougekitai (特別攻撃隊?) Tokkō Tai (特攻隊?) Tokkō (特攻?) were suicide attacks by military aviators from the Empire of Japan against Allied naval vessels in the closing stages of the Pacific campaign of World War II, designed to destroy as many warships as possible.
Kamikaze pilots would intentionally attempt to crash their aircraft into enemy ships—planes often laden with explosives, bombs, torpedoes and full fuel tanks. The aircraft's normal functions (to deliver torpedoes or bombs or shoot down other aircraft) were put aside, and the planes were converted to what were essentially manned missiles in an attempt to reap the benefits of greatly increased accuracy and payload over that of normal bombs. The goal of crippling as many Allied ships as possible, particularly aircraft carriers, was considered critical enough to warrant the combined sacrifice of pilots and aircraft.
These attacks, which began in October 1944, followed several critical military defeats for the Japanese. They had long lost aerial dominance due to outdated aircraft and the loss of experienced pilots. On a macroeconomic scale, Japan experienced a decreasing capacity to wage war, and a rapidly declining industrial capacity relative to the United States. The Japanese government expressed its reluctance to surrender. In combination, these factors led to the use of kamikaze tactics as Allied forces advanced towards the Japanese home islands.
While the term "kamikaze" usually refers to the aerial strikes, the term has sometimes been applied to various other intentional suicide attacks. The Japanese military also used or made plans for Japanese Special Attack Units, including those involving submarines, human torpedoes, speedboats and divers.
Although kamikaze was the most common and best-known form of Japanese suicide attack during World War II, they were similar to the "banzai charge" used by Japanese soldiers. The main difference between kamikaze and banzai is that suicide is essential to the success of a kamikaze attack, whereas a banzai charge is only potentially suicidal — that is, the attackers hope to survive but do not expect to. Western sources often incorrectly consider Operation Ten-Go as a kamikaze operation, since it occurred at the Battle of Okinawa along with the mass waves of kamikaze planes; however, banzai is the more accurate term, since the aim of the mission was for battleship Yamato to beach herself and provide support to the island defenders, as opposed to ramming and detonating among enemy naval forces. The tradition of suicide instead of defeat, capture, and perceived shame was deeply entrenched in the Japanese military culture. It was one of the main traditions in the samurai life and the Bushido code: loyalty and honor until death.

Posted on 02/13/2005 3:52:47 AM PST by DoctorZIn
The past week was filled with important new developments in the US effort to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat.
I was in Washington DC, attending an intelligence conference. Members of the FBI, CIA, NSA, Defense and state and local law enforcement were in attendance. It was a rare opportunity to gain insight into US intelligence on Iran. But since our conversations went late into the night my blogging for the week was light. (Fox news Eric Shawn has prepared a report on the conference for its Sunday morning "Weekend Live" I was told.)
Unfortunately the blogosphere appears not to have noticed some of the important developments of the past week.
The week was full of confirmation that what I predicted in my recent post, Reading the tea leaves - Bush's Strategy on Iran, is accurate. In that post I argued that the US is advancing a non military solution in Iran, supporting an internal regime change by supporting the people of Iran's desire to remove the regime through a referendum (a vote on theocracy or democracy). I further argued that the US is seeking to gain Europe's support in this effort by working together to advance human rights in Iran.
So here are a few of the headlines.
Condoleezza Rice major speech in Paris where she argued the case for a united US/EU stand for freedom and democracy.
Michael Ledeen came out in support of the Iranian opposition referendum this week.
The Iranian regime arrested Iranian activist leader Nargess Adeeb and others.
Iran says it won't give up nuclear technology.
In response, Condi warns Iran must or be referred to the UN Security Council.
Senator Santorum introduces Iran regime change legislation, with White House approval.
North Korea and Iran circle the wagons.
Contrary to popular opinion, one Iranian press service reports: The Iranian people would not defend the regime against a foreign attack.
Rafsanjani, (whom many consider the puppet master in Tehran) gave USA Today a rare interview.
Michael Rubin wrote an excellent introduction to the present crisis with Iran in, Will Washington Support Democracy in Iran?
I chastise Time magazine's report, Why Iran will go Nuclear.
Iran wants the EU to accept a "promise" not to build nuclear weapons.
Iran starts producing torpedoes.
Iranian Blogger describes her 36-day stay as 'guest' in a Tehran prison.
For the first time Pakistan admits that Dr A Q Khan passed secrets and equipment to Iranian officials.

Iran Nobel Winner Complains About Threats, Summons
Feb 12, 2005
By Amir Paivar
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi on Saturday complained that the conservative judiciary had summoned her to court again without saying why.
"I have received another summons to appear before a public court, this time as an accused on the fifth of Esfand (Feb. 23)," the human rights lawyer told Reuters by telephone.
She said the summons stated no charge against her.
"I have not yet decided whether to appear myself, but will be sending my lawyers," said Ebadi, 57, who has riled religious hard-liners defending high-profile political dissidents.
Ebadi, the first Muslim woman and first Iranian to win the Nobel Peace Prize, was summoned last month to appear before the feared Revolutionary Court, but she ignored the order saying it was invalid because it failed to cite a reason.
In a rare climbdown, the judiciary acknowledged it had made several mistakes in summoning her.
Ebadi said agents claiming to be police had visited the Center for Defense of Human Rights, which she directs, but her staff had turned them away as they showed no judicial orders.
"They threatened our secretary, saying they would arrest her," she said, adding that police had denied any involvement.
Ebadi said she had complained in writing to Khatami, who said after her summons in January that he would personally guarantee her safety and her freedom to continue her activities.
"How is it possible to guarantee the security and peace of mind for citizens who don't have any privileges," Ebadi wrote in her letter to Khatami, whose reform efforts the judiciary has helped to foil.
Before and after winning her Nobel award, Ebadi has received death threats from religious hard-liners who view her as an agent of the West intent on undermining Iran's Islamic values.
Cases she has taken on include that of Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi who died in custody in 2003 after receiving a blow to the head in a Tehran prison that split her skull.
Germany Bans Iran's Opposite Group, MKO, Rally
February 12, 2005 - IranMania.com
LONDON, Feb 12 (IranMania) - German police banned Thursday's rally by Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO) in Berlin, fearing possible violent acts by the Iraq-based terrorist group, a police spokeswoman told IRNA.
"The demonstration was cancelled by police because they had doubts about the peaceful slogans of the rally which was supposed to be about Iran's human rights situation and its nuclear program," she said.
The MKO organizers wanted to begin the gathering at noon in downtown Berlin.
She pointed out that MKO supporters were told via police loudspeakers that the rally has been banned and that they should leave the area.
They were threatened with arrests in the face of refusal.
The organizers, who have lodged a complaint against the police action, said the ban was announced as some 40,000 MKO agents from across Europe were converging on Berlin.
The figure could not be independently verified.
An AFP photographer said around 400 to 500 people had gathered peacefully on a square in western Berlin away from the Brandenburg Gate and were being carefully monitored by police.
The MKO is on the official terrorist list of the German government, apart from the terrorist lists of the United States and the European Union.
Iran refuses to Give up Heavy-Water Nuke Reactor
February 13, 2005 - IranMania.com
LONDON, Feb 13 (IranMania) - Iran said Sunday it would not give up its programmes to build a heavy-water reactor, which can be used to make atomic arms material, in exchange for a light-water research reactor proposed by the Europeans.
"We welcome such proposals but we will not under any circumstances replace our heavy-water research reactor," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said.
"We will continue working on our heavy-water reactor," Asefi added.
He said Iran was determined to continue its nuclear energy programme despite pressure from Washington, which accuses Tehran of pursuing atomic weapons and has refused to rule out any option, including force, to stop it acquiring them,
The US government believes Iran is using its nuclear energy programme to conceal an effort to manufacture nuclear weapons and is relying, for the time being, on France, Britain and Germany to negotiate curbs on any such efforts, according to The Post.
EU negotiators in talks with Iran over its nuclear activities have offered to send a mission to help Tehran obtain a light-water research reactor in what would be the first concrete move towards rewarding Tehran for abandoning uranium enrichment, AFP reported.
Iran is engaged in diplomacy with France, Britain and Germany, on behalf of the European Union, aimed at ending a 2 1/2-year crisis over Tehran's nuclear ambitions that began when Iranian defectors exposed a large uranium enrichment facility in August 2002. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have been in and out of the country since then investigating nuclear facilities, according to The Washington Post.
Iran denies US accusations it is building bombs under cover of a civilian nuclear energy program. But Asefi said it would never permanently end its disputed nuclear activities, according to Reuters.
"Iran strongly insists on its views and we will not give up our people's legitimate right," he declared.
US Spy Agencies Launch Review of Iran Data
February 13, 2005 - IranMania.com
LONDON, Feb 13 (IranMania) - The US intelligence community, burned by its fiasco in Iraq, has launched a broad review of its classified data on Iran as an escalating war of words suggested a possible showdown between the United States and Iran over its nuclear programme, US officials said Saturday, AFP reported.
The review, ordered by the National Intelligence Council, was expected to produce two major papers -- a new National Intelligence Estimate on Iran and a so-called "memo to holders" -- that will assess Iran's suspected drive to manufacture nuclear weapons and its implication for regional and global security, the officials said.
"It involves the entire intelligence community to write these products," said one of the officials, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity.
The US intelligence community has not produced a formal estimate on Iran since 2001, and analysts said the new focus on the country likely reflected new strategic priorities for the administration of President George W. Bush, who has accused Iran of "pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve."
The official said the new NIE on Iran was "coming out" but gave no specific date. The memorandum was expected "several months from now."
But the official made it a point to say that the "memo to holders" was "self-initiated." "It is not that somebody has requested it," the official added.
The CIA-led review was expected to go in parallel with a reassessment of information about Iran being undertaken by the Senate intelligence committee, which was expected to hold a series of closed-door hearings on the matter in coming months, according to congressional officials.
Last year, the committee probed the US failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, whose alleged presence in the country served as the prime rationale for the March 2003 invasion.
A scathing report produced as a result of this investigation accused the intelligence community of "group think," "poor management" and "inadequate intelligence collection."
The Central Intelligence Agency told Congress late last year that Iranian efforts to develop e an indigenous nuclear fuel cycle had "clear weapons potential."
In its most recent report on proliferation matters, the CIA suggested International Atomic Energy Agency inspections and safeguards will most likely prevent Tehran from using its declared nuclear facilities for its weapons programme as long as Tehran remains a party to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
"However, Iran could use the same technology at other, covert locations for military applications," the agency warned.
Moreover, the CIA said that Iran "may have already stockpiled" various types of deadly chemical agents and "probably has the capability to produce at least small quantities" of biological weapons.
However, the official interviewed by AFP declined to discuss agency assessments about how close Iran could be to actually producing a nuclear weapon.
The Bush administration has been flying surveillance drones over Iran for nearly a year to seek evidence of nuclear weapons programs and detect weaknesses in air defenses, according to three US officials with detailed knowledge of the secret effort, The Washington Post reported.
The small, pilotless planes, penetrating Iranian airspace from US military facilities in Iraq, use radar, video, still photography and air filters designed to pick up traces of nuclear activity to gather information that is not accessible by satellites, the officials said. The aerial espionage is standard in military preparations for an eventual air attack and is also employed as a tool for intimidation, The Post added.
The intelligence reviews come as rhetoric surrounding Iran's suspected nuclear weapons drive is heating up, with US Vice President Richard Cheney pointing out last week that while the United States preferred a diplomatic solution, "we have not eliminated any alternative."
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, for his part, warned on Thursday that anyone who will try to invade Iran would be greeted with a "burning hell."
I heard Florida congresswoman, Ilina Lehtinen will meet other congressmen and women to support the MKO on wednesday.
Not a good idea, but it could be used to put pressure on Tehran for a few weeks.
Maybe people are just looking for a potent anti-regime group to support, and the MEK is the most visible group. Perhaps an alternative needs to be created? People may be trying to acheive regime change, and they may not be to particular about the specifics. Although, making such a compromise now could lead to a regrettable situation in the future.
1) We allied ourselves with the Soviet tyrants in World War II. In truth, there really wasn't an option, but we did end up fighting the Soviets for most of the rest of the century in a war that wasn't totally cold.
2) We allied ourselves with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets (again). Afghanistan is a crucial piece of real estate, then and now. We probably could have armed someone else. Sending American troops in could have touched off World War III, so we didn't do it for obvious reasons. Anyway, we won this war too, but Afghanistan ended up being mired in civil war in the 1990's, and finally they were liberated by the American-led force in 2001-present. It would be dubious to suggest that Islamic terror wouldn'tbe what it is today if we didn't ally ourselves with bin Laden. Bin Laden is just a figurehead, a spokesman, really; he isn't the brains behind the attacks and the long-term strategy. So, our former ally is now our #1 enemy.
3) At about the same time, we sided with Iraq against Iran in their bloody war of 1980-88. Not that it did much good, Saddam lost that war, the first of three consecutive wars that he would lose, one with the Americans (though little real support, of course), and two against. I understand that we didn't want Iran to expand and take over Iraq (interestingly enough, that is exactly what Iran is doing today, with the help of their subsidiary, Syria), but still...
An interesting pattern emerges here: In example #1, regime change occured in both the Axis powers, and the Soviet Empire. In #2, regime change in Afghanistan twice since our war there (thanks to our "ally" Pakistan). In #3, regime change in occuring in Iraq, and is about to (we all hope!) change in Iran, too. I don't know that it means anything, that it all these questionable conflicts we've been involved in, that regime change has come about. Of course, it's not like the US didn't encourage regime change :-)
I guess the point of all this is - supporting the MEK now in some way might seem to be a good idea right now to deal with the mammoth Iranian problem - but in the long run, it might put you back right where you started.
Or, even more simply - be very careful and very cautious. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.
Interesting, Iran producing torpedoes. The only practical use for such torpedoes, that I can think of, is to try to sink a blockade. Or, it could just be a propaganda stunt - "Hey, you Americans and Zionists, don't even try it - you'll drown in your own blood."
Also interesting is the drones, in that Iran did not turn on their radars, and won't be doing so indefinitely. It also means that if a fleet of F-16's or F/A 18's comes over to say hello, they won't know it until it's too late. Hopefully, though, no bombs will be necessary to acheive regime change.
The US-MEK alliance sounds bad in Iran and I do not think any body in Iran is in favor of that move
Those torpedoes are imported from China!
In weapons proliferation, China is one of the worst. Not to mention that the nation of China is one of the worst human rights abusers in the world. For the record, I am against my country's (USA) policy of permitting trade with China. We don't trade with Cuba, so why should we trade with China? We might get regime change in China if we refused to trade with China, although the world economy would collapse if that happened. China's a nasty enemy, and I think we just have to wait them out, like we did with the USSR.
Also keep in mind that China currently gets something like 15-20% of its oil from Iran. The Chinese economy grew by 10% last year; without that oil, it won't do so well in 2005.
And I see we have another protest in the Kurd city in the NW of Iran. Very, very, good! This is what I have been waiting to see. When we start seeing large numbers of mass protests, then we will know the the revolution has started and can't be stopped. Perhaps this is the beginning of it. Yes, it wasn't entirely a peaceful protest, but there isn't any way you are going to have a completely peaceful means of regime change. Though having the Iranian people themselves rise up is both the perferred way and the way that gets the least blood spilt. But still, people will die. Many people died to establish American democracy, then a very radical idea. So we understand.
I really hope the administration isn't considering using MEK/MKO for anything except information, as informants.
They will alienate the Iranian people if they give MKO support.
It was reported yesterday, I think, that the report that the Administation was considering teaming up with MEK personnel has been "discredited."
The discredited artcile still said that no one was considering supporting the MEK as a group, just some of its members individually. Personally, I'm not surprised that the article was discredited. Something seemed fishy with the way it was written.
Like Condi said last year, if you are going to wage a war on terror, then you can't ally yourself with terrorists, even if they are the enemy of your enemy. They are still terrorists.
I agree, I hope we don't support any elements of the MEK.
There have been several very disturbing articles lately.
I hope to heck you're right.
The administration will destroy all pro-American feelings the Iranian people have, if it supports MKO.
Of course, I don't have any "inside knowledge," but it is near-certain that the US will not support MEK the organization (although I think I read today some senators may annouce their own support for MEK this week).
What is not certain is whether the Administration will support elements of the MEK. I agree with all here that supporting the MEK itself, or any of its elements, is wrong. I believe (and hope) the the White House will remain opposed to MEK. But other American voices supporting MEK could confuse the Iranians, and may assume that they are speaking in conjuction with the president. I confess that I don't know how, say, senators speaking out in America gets played in foreign Arab media, and if they recognize the difference between the branches of government. A comparable recent event might be Senator Kennedy blasting the elections in Iraq and the American forces there a few days before the vote. Were the Iraqis aware of his comments? Do they understand that Ted Kennedy and George Bush have quite different beliefs (very different!) ? It may not come down to what Bush actually says or thinks, but what people *believe* he said or thinks. I must admit that I personally tend to view foriegn governments as a fairly homogenous mixture of people. That's largely to a lack of information gathering on my part. I sure hope that Iranians are more politically-savvy than Americans. Many Americans don't seem to understand their own government, let alone foreign governments. Fortunately, I am not one of them.
As far as the MEK is concerned, I think information is what is needed. Well-intentioned people for the most part, I believe, are willing to support the MEK because they don't actually understand what the MEK is. They see that they are opposed to the Iranian regime, and thus assume that they are the good guys.
What's needed is a American publicity campaign to make sure everyone knows what the MEK is. A cheaper alternative would be for the White House to sit down all members of Congress mae sure that they understand. I don't think any responsible American would support the MEK if they knew who the MEK is. So, it's an information problem. And the dissemination of information is one of the really poor spots of this Administration, unfortunately.
You're right. It IS an information problem. And part of the problem is that congressmen and senators are listening to information coming from the MEK themselves.
We've run a number of articles here on this Thread since 2003 on MEK and what they are. And their members and spokespeople may smile and be polite, but this group has its own agenda: They want to rule Iran themselves.
They are dangerous and they are despised by most Iranians.

text: M3 Midstream LLC commonly know as Momentum added another dimension to the first phase of the natural gas processing facility in Kensington Thursday. Momentum, in partnership with Chesapeake and Enervest, is building the Kensington facility to process the liquid-rich natural gas found in the Utica Shale. The raw liquids are divided into natural gas and natural gas liquids such as ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline. The first of three demethanizer towers at the cryogenic gas processing plant was lifted into place Thursday. Facilities like the Kensington plant separate natural gas liquids by changing the temperature of the raw natural gas. The 139-foot tower will subject the natural gas to temperatures as low as minus 150-degrees Fahrenheit separating the raw natural gas liquids, recovering over 90 percent of the gas liquids. The plant will be able to process 600 million feet of natural gas per day that is gathered from county wells and others along the Utica Shale line. Immense cranes brought in by Fagen Inc., the general contractor on the project, were used to raise up the tower and lower it onto a cement platform were it was guided and bolted into position. As the tower was placed into position surveyors, like Gerald Blasiman from Howells and Baird Inc. of Salem made sure the tower was straight and level. Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer

Dying Horse Rescued
A YOUNG horse, almost at the point of starvation, was rescued in dramatic circumstances.
A team from the Limerick Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LSPCA) rescued the horse, believed to be aged between eight and nine months.
It had been dumped in fields in Cratloe before LSPCA animal cruelty inspector James Butler responded to a call to pick it up.
With very little for a horse to eat in the Cratloe fields, Butler found another horse which had tragically died in cold conditions.
The horse they rescued was handed over the Clare Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA). It is recuperating in their center.
Annacotty man James said the simple message is, if you cannot afford a horse, don't buy one.
"The horse was in a poor condition, very weak and hungry. We have tried to locate the owners, but no information has come up, so we are in a bit of a no-win situation," he said, "It is a bit upsetting."
Geraldine Nardonne, chairperson of the LSPCA said the group has held meetings with Garda (police) chief superintendent David Sheahan in a bid to get a more rapid response from the force.
This is because when one of the LSPCA's inspectors spots a horse in need of care, they are not allowed to enter land without a Garda presence in case they are trespassing. Due to cutbacks in Garda resources there can be a long wait, meaning more and more dumped horses are dying.

"I will chain myself to the door if they try to move me somewhere else. I am here 24 years and I have raised my four children here and I don't want to move. My house is not just a house, it's a home," declared Kelly.
Since the project was first mooted, some of the residents said they were happy to move from the estate permanently. Others are agreeable to move temporarily and then return to the new houses, although some fear they won't get back in once the work is completed. There are also some residents who do not want to move at all.
Resident Eamon Broughan believes the majority of the householders want to stay but were afraid of voicing their concerns to the council during the information day and the one to one meetings. He wants to know if the council is going to force people out of their homes.
His wife Sheila pointed out they have been living in St. Patrick's Park for 25 years.
"People are in limbo. They don't know whether to do up their house or give it a paint because there is no point if it is going to be knocked down," she said.
"When we ask for information we are told nothing is written in stone and the plans have not been drawn up yet, but something will have to be written in stone soon."
The residents feel the council should demolish the derelict buildings, do up the existing homes where people want to stay, and build houses on the vacant sites.
"This makes much more financial sense. In these times of recession, they wouldn't have to spend €6.9 million," stressed Broughan.

Boy's Card Found
A TWO-year-old boy from Enniskillen who lost the card he made for Mother's Day has been reunited with the card,
Reece Wills, who is just two years and two months old, had made the Mother's Day card with the help of staff at New Hope Day Nursery for his mum Sonia, but then on the way home the card was lost.
It was found near the Erne Hospital by a local man, Michael Keown, as he walked to a match in Brewster Park. He thought a family might be missing it, so he handed it into the office of the Fermanagh Herald newspaper.
Delighted mother Sonia said the card must have dropped out of the bottom of the buggy as they were going home.
"The girls (at the Nursery) helped Reece and all the other kids to make the cards the week before Mother's Day," she said, who explained that Reece is a twin, and so, the card was badly missed as other twin Brooklyn's card made it home.
Keown had guessed it might have been a child from the New Hope Nursery but, as the building doesn't have a letterbox he couldn't post the card in the door.
"I thought, ah the poor child. They spent the time making that for their mother. Mother's Day was obviously the next morning and the child and mother were going to wake up and there'd be no card," Keown said.
Sonia didn't notice the article about the card in the Fermanagh Herald, but a family member spotted it and told her about it.
"My brother was reading the paper and recognized the card as like the ones the staff at New Hope had made," said Sonia.

New Bag Charge
SHOPPERS in Northern Ireland will soon have to fork out at least 5p for each plastic shopping bag they use.
The charge, which takes effect on April 8, will affect all new single use bags, including those which are biodegradable.
"The levy, a first for Northern Ireland, will apply to the majority of new single use carrier bags, regardless of the material from which the bag is made," said Environment Minister Alex Attwood.
"It is not just on plastic bags but other single use bags from other natural materials. There are still some occasions when a bag will be provided free of charge."
Bags for medication, meat and hot food will be exempt from the 5p levy, as will some small bags.
"At the moment we are using around 250 million carrier bags each year in Northern Ireland and we need to cut that number dramatically to reduce environmental damage. The evidence from other countries shows that a bag levy is a very effective way of doing this. Bring your own bag and you will not have to pay the levy," the minister added.

No Mansion Takers
HE was offered €10 million for it at the height of the boom, and perhaps he should have taken it.
Because a month after going on the market for just €990,000, former Westlife singer Shane Filan has still not found a buyer for his home.
Set in five acres at Carraroe, outside Sligo town, estate agents had described the five-bedroom detached home as a "modern-day mansion with no expense spared" when the property first went on the market in February.
But despite several viewings, a buyer has yet to be found.
Now it looks as if another price-cut might be needed to shift the house, which cost Filan an estimated €3 million to complete in 2004.
"The property is still on the market and a viewing can be arranged," estate agents Sherry Fitzgerald Draper said.
Initially, there had been huge interest when the house first came on the market. But like so many other luxury properties for sale nationwide, it has struggled to find a buyer.
However an insider remained confident one would be found for the home, which has been described as "exceptional by any standards." Features include a gym, a snooker room, two living rooms, a music room and a study.
All this is behind electronically controlled gates on landscaped grounds with a lake, patio and terraces as well as a golfing area.
In 2006, a Japanese businessman offered Filan €10 million for the house.
The 32-year-old, who sold 43 million records worldwide with Westlife, was declared bankrupt in the U.K. last June where he now lives. More than €18 million is owed to creditors from the building company owned by Shane Filan and his brother Finbarr.

MeetMeego.org has the dirt on the details of Nokia's next two MeeGo devices [German]. To sum up: the first device, the (very) long-awaited N9, has a similar design to the N900 - a horizontal sliding 4-line keyboard, but this time with a tiltable screen, a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8-based processor, a 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens, and HDMI out. It will be a developer device, distributed at developer conferences such as the MeeGo Conference in San Francisco in a couple of days.

Much is heard during the Democratic Convention about how Obama saved not only GM but Michigan and Ohio, too. The indelicate facts are that President Bush created the TARP program and during the last days of his presidency approved a bailout plan which would provide both GM and Chrysler $13.4 billion in financing from TARP in order to help sustain them after years of losses driven by mismanagement and bloated union agreements. The bankruptcy that Bush feared was finally implemented in the early months of Obama's presidency with the taxpayers providing over $50 billion in financing.
But what did the taxpayers get for all this financing? According to its own figures, GM now provides employment to over 200,000 people in 157 countries. As of Dec 31, 2010, GM had 106,000 employees outside the U.S. but only 96,000 inside the U.S. That is quite a fall from the company's heydays of the 1950s when the company employed 525,000 people in their homeland. It has outsourced its way to being the world's largest auto producer and sells nearly as many cars in China as in the U.S. Fully, 70 percent of GM products are built outside the U.S. Unfortunately, GM lost its ranking as the largest U.S. auto manufacturer to Toyota during the first half 2012, and its stock has fallen 41 percent since the company's 2010 post-bankruptcy offering price. In April 2012, GM came in No. 6 in the best selling cars in America contest behind Toyota and Honda. For all this money, the best GM can do is come in sixth in the U.S.
I don't know how this GM deal strikes you but only a politician like Obama could see the GM bailout as a real American success story and then take credit for it. Many would say that size matters, however, what do we Americans get now that GM employees more people outside of the U.S. than here at home? When Obama takes credit for saving Ohio and Michigan, remind yourself that employment outside the U.S. does us no good.

If they are "international" in name only then possibly they could hire you but it is unlikely unless you are lucky since there usually is a large enough pool of certified teachers for them to choose from (Bangkok is a popular destination). Those schools that have accreditation from an international accreditation agency/body are probably required by that accreditation body to have teachers who hold a valid teacher certification (B.Ed, teachers license, PGCE, QTS) and would not be able to hire you even if they wanted to. All that said, there ARE other options. You could try for positions as an EFL teacher in a public school, EFL or subject teacher in an EP (English Program) or mini EP (public or private), or a private Bilingual school. Get a 60-day, double entry tourist visa, and be on the ground from April 1 to May 15 and odds of a decent job in a k-12 school are about 100%. .

Generally if you try to get a job for international schools from recruiters that recruit for schools worldwide they want 5 years K-12 experience in your own country.

Gay Indiana Candidate Leaves GOP After State House Switches Marriage Ban Bill
Openly gay Indiana House candidate Andy Markle has announced that he's leaving the Republican party after state GOP moved a ban on marriage equality to another committee when its original chances started looking grim.
Writes Markle in a Facebook comment:
It deeply saddens me to see the state that I have called home for the past 8 years plunge into a debate over a minority group's civil rights. It is with a heavy heart but with a clear conscience that I announce the end of my run for Indiana State House of Representatives, District 99, as a Republican. With today's announcement by House Speaker Brian Bosma, that he is using extraordinary and unprecedented rules to change House Joint Resolution 3's committee assignment, I have no choice but to resign my candidacy as a Republican. As an openly gay male and a conservative, I find it deplorable that the state would choose to take such extraordinary measures to disenfranchise me and my fellow LGBT brothers and sisters. In an era where my party declared that it was the party of "small government" and "less intrusion", it has been confirmed that it is not the party of small government or less intrusion. I am not leaving the Republican Party; the Republican Party has left me.
Chase with all do respect if you know anything about state government the filing deadline is not over! Mr. Markle has the right to choose to run under any party he choose he falls under! As it comes to community affairs! I have been appointed to a State Office since 2010 and I know several people in our State General Assembly that were just like Mr. Markle! They wanted to make a difference and was either fed up or tired of the way State Government was operating and ran with no experience! So why your attempting to tear Mr. Markle down I would like for you to file and run for a House District and make a difference for all Hoosiers! I hope you file Mr. Markle and knock them dead! We need great people in government that will make a difference for all Hoosiers! They want you to quit! You can only change a party of you are apart of it!
Andy is a nice fellow. He was is a great conservative and represents all of us conservatives very well. I wish I lived in Indiana so that I could vote for him. I welcome him to the Independent, Libertarian, Conservative side between the asiles of the extreme DNC and the idiot RNC.....I hope he runs as an indepentdent.

"PETER BAVINGTON was born in 1941 and educated in London and Exeter. After working for many years as a Civil Servant, he decided in 1982 on a complete change of career and enrolled at the London College of Furniture (now London Metropolitan University), where he studied early keyboard instruments under Lewis Jones. In 1985 he obtained his Higher National Diploma in Musical Instrument Technology with distinction in every unit.
He then spent two years working with John Rawson before founding his own London workshop, making and restoring harpsichords, clavichords and fortepianos. In addition to individual musicians, his customers have included the Royal Academy of Music, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the Hochschule der Künste Berlin. As well as making instruments, Peter undertakes historical and acoustic research, and is a regular participant in international organological conferences. He is a founder member and past Chairman of the British Clavichord Society.
Recently, Peter has focussed mainly on the clavichord; he believes that to produce a really responsive clavichord is the supreme challenge for a keyboard instrument maker. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Early music artists tend to be passionate about their music. Similarly, professional instrument makers can have intense feelings about their work. As a harpsichord maker, I am committed to producing instruments that are inspiring to the eye, the ear, and the hand. I have developed my harpsichords and clavichords to meet the desires of professional musicians and other serious players who look for the ultimate in musical expression and fulfillment. My instruments are as timeless as the antiques on which they are modeled, and I am devoted to the continuing satisfaction of their owners.
My harpsichords and clavichords are the product of an individual hand. I research, analyze, and build these instruments in a way that is faithful to period construction techniques. This fidelity is not an antiquarian exercise: Quite simply, it produces the best instruments, assuring excellent sound, stability, and longevity. As with many fine things, a good instrument gains in character with age. With proper care, the instruments I make will last as long as their seventeenth- and eighteenth-century ancestors; they will also continue to maintain their value. Only instruments made the way I make them can offer you a sense of expanding musical expression, enjoyment, and value for generations.
My instruments embody more than 28 years of research, in both archival study and hands-on work examining, measuring, and restoring antique harpsichords and clavichords. While my instruments are not line-for-line copies of individual antiques, each model type is based on a particular instrument which represents the essence of the work of a maker like F. E. Blanchet II or Pierre Donzelague, or of an entire regional group like the Parisian or the Hamburg schools. This foundation of research offers modern players a genuine link to the origins of the music they study and perform. " See website for more information. (ed.)

" Renée Geoffrion, born in Montreal, began playing the piano at the age of four. After studies at the Conservatoire de Montréal, she went to France where, in the years 1985-1987, she pursued lessons in interpretation, as well as training in piano tuning.
Following her return to Canada, she obtained a Bachelor's degree in piano interpretation with high distinction from McGill University in 1991 and a master's degree from the University of Montreal in 1993. Returning to France, she studied fortepiano and clavichord with Patrick Cohen at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris (CNR) until 1998.
Since 1992, when she completed a study on the traces of temperaments in Mozart's music for fortepiano, Renée Geoffrion has developed a passion for early keyboard instruments. Her enterprise « Una Corda », based in the Limousin region since 1998 at the invitation of « L'Ensemble Baroque de Limoges », restores and builds pianos, fortepianos and clavichords.
Renée Geoffrion devotes herself to the promotion of the clavichord. She is active as a builder, restorer and as a performer, as a soloist on clavichord, forms the duo « Alliance Contre Nature » with Louis-Philippe Rivet at the electric bass and plays four-hands with Guy Campion. In April 2002, she registered her invention, the electro-acoustic clavichord and was granted a patent in July 2004. "

"The 68-stop four manual and pedal organ in the Church of St Ignatius Loyola, New York is the largest mechanical action ever to have been built by a British builder. It stands some 44 feet tall on the west gallery of this fine Manhattan church and took almost two years to build and install. This instrument embodies all the principles of excellence which are the hallmark of a Mander Organ. Based on the French Romantic organ of the mid nineteenth century, it has proved to have exceptional versatility. The case is an original design and is built of French oak from trees planted about the time of the Revolution. The sensitive suspended key action which employs purely mechanical couplers has delighted many organists."

"The firm of Robert Goble and Son, based in Oxford, have for 60 years produced individually built harpsichords, clavichords and spinets for players and institutions all over the world. Our wide range of models is the result of study of the 17th and 18th century harpsichords in the museums and collections where they are preserved.
Great care is taken in the choice of traditional timbers and stringing materials in order to approach as closely as possible the tone quality of the original instrument. The decoration and colour of the examples illustrated can be altered to suit individual requirements, and further options can be provided, such as painted soundboards, alternative key coverings, marquetry and inlaid decoration.

"With an extensive background in repairing and tuning the "modern piano", Edwin Beunk started his own workshop in 1981. Johan Wennink joined forces with him in 1985. Their ardent interest in the fortepiano resulted in a specialization in this particular field. In 1992 Ben Kamphuis and Carolien Dopheide joined the team. Today they have a lot of experience in the restoration of all predecessors of the modern piano: from the Viennese 'Hammerklavier' from Mozart's time up to the later pianos of the Brahms era. But also many an instrument from London and Paris - the other piano-building centres of former days - went through their workshop before starting a new life in the hands of musicians all over the world.
Restoration is either commissioned by clients of their own instruments or carried out for buyers of pianos held in stock.
Edwin Beunk built up a collection of antique pianos from the period 1780 up to 1870, all instruments that relate to the pianos of the important composers. Therefore there are no giraffe pianos, down striking instruments or square pianos.
Instruments in the collection have been used in more than 170 recordings. They are also available for concerts."

"Curiosity Started Me Building Harpsichords
Today it is as strong as it was when I began my first instrument in 1973. Every new harpsichord is a voyage of discovery. This is because of the manner in which I work.
It starts with designing the instrument. I base my design on one or more existing instruments of a certain builder or a school of building.
I don't copy: I want to design the instrument the way that builder would have done with the materials available now and following the wishes of my client. I use the experience I gained from previous harpsichords I made. The process continues in the building phase: working on, I continually ask myself why the builder made the choices he made and that leads to all kinds of ideas, which I pursue. I work from the whole, from which the details arise, and when I change a detail, all changes, so adjustments may be necessary again. On the one hand it is seeking, on the other hand it is to be inspired.
Because of this way of working I cannot make more than 3 to 4 instruments per year.
The result always turns out to be good: the last harpsichord always is the best I ever made. But I can only hear that when it is properly played upon for the first time, by someone who really can do that, when player and music merge and the instrument in fact disappears. That is the way I want to make my instruments: that one doesn't hear the instrument, just music."

"Carl Rennoldson was born in Loughborough in 1946. His early training was in traditional cabinetmaking, learning the trade at the bench under the supervision of an established craftsman. The workshop, with connections going back to the old London firm of George Betjemann & Sons, made luxury items of furniture and special commissions. Later he attended Shoreditch Teacher Training College at Egham, Surrey, obtaining a Cert.Ed., with distinction, in Craft, Design and Technology. It was during this period that he made his first harpsichord, a large double manual instrument in the style of Kirkman.
ince 1983 he has been running his own furniture making and antiques restoration business and for 20 years taught antique furniture restoration for the Kent Adult Education Service. His interest in music comes from an early introduction to the violin, which he still plays. In 1993 he decided to further pursue his interest in early keyboard instruments and enrolled at London Guildhall University graduating with a B.Sc.(Hons) First Class in Musical Instrument Technology.
Specialising in French, Flemish and Italian keyboard instruments from the early 16th century to the early 18th century, designs are based on museum drawings of original instruments with some minor adjustments to compass and disposition in order to accommodate the preferences of individual customers.
Great care is taken to source and select appropriate materials with particular attention given to constructional refinements ensuring an even touch and responsive action. The detailed casework and decoration perhaps reflect his early training and long association with the art of woodworking. " See website for more information. (ed.)

Unfriendly to wildlife
Kentucky Living, a little magazine we receive from our electrical cooperative, has a great column about recreational mowing this month. Dave Baker, the author, writes that unnecessary mowing removes cover and food that wildlife needs to survive.
Baker talks mostly about the regular mowing of pastures for no reason except appearance (vanity.) Clipping a pasture all the time makes it an inhospitable place for the little creatures who share the land. Wildlife needs the cover of tall vegetation for protection and the seed heads of full-grown vegetation for food.
And, though Baker didn't mention it, all that recreational mowing burns a lot of gasoline for no good reason, too.
I know people who mow several acres --even five acres or more -- around their house a couple times a week during the grassy months of the year. If everyone who's doing that would mow half as much, half as often, think of the many, many gallons of gasoline that would be saved.
And think of all the wildlife habitat that would be created on the half that was allowed to grow. Yes, even in your yard, wildlife appreciates vegetation that's allowed to grow and mature.

After I got tipped about this truck from three different sources, I decided I'd better head down to the self-service boneyard a few miles from my house.
Would anyone buy a truck of any sort with just 60 horsepower today? Nissan was proud of that power level back in 1965! This truck is remarkably complete and includes some no-doubt-impossible-to-find bits, such as a nice steering wheel and all the dash switches. Let's hope some vintage Datsun lover grabs these parts before the Crusher gobbles them up!
I think this is one of the coolest emblems ever made. In fact, I like it so much that I took it home!
