FILE: The falling and blowing snow reduced visibility and coated the trees along Diamond Avenue last December as the area was hit by blizzard like conditions as snow started early on Wednesday leaving Evansville with 7-inches or more of snow coupled with high winds. A winter weather system could bring snow or ice to the area once again Thursday night, though accumulations are expected to be light.

"What do you read, my lord?"
"Words, words, words."
As Hamlet's reply to Polonius amply indicates, we live in a world of words - written, spoken, read, recited, analyzed, debated.
In the English Department, students learn to appreciate the inherent value of reading and writing, to value the beauty and power of language. At the same time, our students are trained to sharpen their skills for an ever-competitive job market by developing the ability to write clearly and persuasively, to think critically and creatively, and to engage in thoughtful analysis, skills that are essential to success in our contemporary, global marketplace.
The department launched an exciting new curriculum effective Fall 2010 that revitalizes the EN11-12 introductory core courses, creates more than a dozen new 100-level literature courses, reorganizes advanced literature courses, and offers an expanded list of concentrations for majors and minors.
While there are many ways to pursue English, we have some basic goals that apply to all of our many, varied programs.
We want to impart to students a sense of the history of English language and literature, in its local, national, and transnational forms, as well as their interconnections. We want students to become acquainted with various types of imaginative literature such as the novel, the short story, poetry, and drama. We want students to acquire skills in close reading, textual analysis, thesis development, and argumentation. We want to foster the ability of students to reflect on texts as global citizens and as members of an academic community.
Students will develop their analytic and organizational skills through the interpretation of literature and through their own writing. Students will gain additional experience in the organization and effective articulation of ideas in writing, including in some cases preparation for careers as professional writers or for careers where strong writing skills will be an asset. Students will gain an appreciation of the value of the writing process, including revision. Students will be exposed to a variety of writing experiences, including the application of research methods.
Finally, we want to address issues such as literacy studies, using new media for composing or reception of text, and training teachers for the language arts.
Come and join us!

Babylon Bar Vol.III, the latest double CD compilation album release of Lola's World Records label features 34 songs culled out by DJ Gülbahar Kültür from a musical climate where the East and the West flirt to create top notch songs. Composed of two CDs called 1001 Feelings and 1001 Mirrors, Babylon Bar Vol.III is a heavenly travel with excellent music through 1001 feelings of the heart and 1001 reflections of the truth.
1001 Feelings, the first CD opens with the sublimely beautiful title Rain from Stephan Micus, the musician and composer whose transcultural music vision develops fresh musical possibilities with traditional instruments and musical techniques, many of which are unknown in the Western world. The second track is an amazing interpretation of Erik Satie's Gnosienne No.1, inspired by the charming city of Istanbul: La Flor de Estambul by Javier Rubial, the Spanish musician and songwriter highly considered for his vocal talents and for blending different music styles of Flamenco, Jazz and Maghreb. Mich Gerber, the man who changed the role of double-bass moving it from its place at the back of the stage to up front playing it as a lead instrument while forming a solo acoustic 'bass orchestra' with a sense of fusion that excels over the bridges of classical music, avant-garde experiences and the contemporary, takes part in the album with his title Siren's Call arranged by DJ Arkin Allen aka Mercan Dede, the famous fusion-maker of traditional acoustic Turkish and other oriental styles with electronic sounds. Blindnote, constituting of six Belgian based musicians who take their audience on a musical trip with unique sounds of traditional instruments and inspiring rich vocals that are stripped of visual stimuli enchant with the hauntingly beautiful sounds of "the duduk", an ancient woodwind instrument, in the title Chiraki Par. Nancy Ajram, the multi-platinum Lebanese singer and Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF of many chart-topping titles plays her part in Babylon Bar Vol.III with an impressive, sentimental song: Enta Eih.
Cibelle, the Brazilian singer and songwriter celebrated for her angelic singing, is the first performer of 1001 Mirrors, the second CD of Babylon Bar Vol. III; in an ultimately neat fashion, she sings Tom Waits' tender song Green Grass for the album. Kari Bremnes, the moving voice and great musician from Norway caresses the souls with her title Birds while Marina Celeste, the lead singer of the famous French collective Nouvelle Vague, goes cheeky in Accroc aux Bimbos with her idyllic voice coming from a far-away dreamland. Fatoumata Diawara, the Malian musician particularly noted for her distinct sensuous voice sings a soothing, truly beautiful love song: Kanou. Many more surprises follow with artists like Sussan Deyhim, the Iranian artist standing at the forefront of experimental music internationally for more than two decades; musician and tabla player Talvin Singh known for creating an innovative fusion of Indian classical music and drum'n'bass, and Marc Almond who will make you smile with his nostalgic, enigmatic song.
In Babylon Bar Vol.III DJ Gülbahar Kültür discovers new names from Turkey like Çiğdem Erken, Mabel Matiz and Bilal Kahraman, all three of which are promising musicians of remarkable talent. Two tracks come with lyrics written by Gülbahar Kültür, the compiler DJ herself: Elde Var 0 performed by Tansiyon Sequenz @ 1001 Feelings and Tricolor performed by Alexandro Fernandez Lecce @ 1001 Mirrors.
The album is a symbol of a universal dream-come-true: perfect harmony full of inspiration between the peoples of the world.

Date of Birth: December 12, 1970
Born and raised in Washington, DC, Regina Hall made her television debut in 1992 with an appearance on the ABC soap opera Loving. Work proved to be sporadic, with several years passing before she landed another guest appearance, this time on New York Undercover. After playing Candy, a stripper in the feature film The Best Man (1999), roles began to come her way more frequently.
She starred in Love & Basketball and Scary Movie (both 2000), after which followed three Scary Movie sequels. A three episode arc as the junior associate to Robert Downey Jr.'s character on Ally McBeal in the spring of 2001 led to her becoming a season regular for the 2001/2002 season.
When that gig ended, Hall moved back into feature films with roles in Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) opposite Jaime Kennedy, King's Ransom (2005) with Anthony Anderson, Danika (2006), playing the psychiatrist of Marissa Tomei's character, and the comedies Death at a Funeral (2010) and Think Like a Man (2012).
Hall earned a Master's degree in Journalism in 1997 from New York University.

(Chicago) … Forty-six projects. 11,151 votes. Now, it's time to announce the People's Choice winner of the Metropolitan Planning Council's (MPC) "Space in Between" Placemaking contest, which is highlighting the most creative, temporary transformations of vacant spaces in greater metropolitan Chicago, Milwaukee, and Gary.
"MPC extends a hearty 'congratulations' to the Altgeld Sawyer Corner Farm, which has captured the hearts and minds of the people of Logan Square, as well as the most public votes on our web site," said Marisa Novara, MPC project manager. "We look forward to celebrating the people who make Altgeld Sawyer Corner Farm the great place that it is – and all of the amazing people and community groups that entered our contest, including two more to-be-announced winners – at our Nov. 1 awards ceremony."
The Altgeld Sawyer Corner Farm, located in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, has been active since 2009 and has a hallmark of cooperating with local business and the nearby Christopher House. The Christopher House helps at-risk children thrive, and the farm provides produce and educational plots to the organization. The farm also grows plants specifically for papermaking and dyeing purposes, provides composting for the neighborhood, and is a "safe, open space [in] one of Chicago's most 'park-poor' communities." Open year-round, day and night, the farm welcomes all visitors. The $1,500 prize from the Space in Between contest is significant, given that the farm runs on an average of $1,000 per year – a relatively inexpensive, easily replicable, and highly effective temporary use of vacant space.
Altgeld Sawyer Corner Farm is one of 46 projects entered in the contest, including gardens, pop-up galleries and art installations, and children's play areas. View all of the submissions at PlacemakingChicago.com.
Two more entries will be chosen as winners by a panel of judges: a $1,500 Grand Prize winner, and a $500 Runner-up. All three winners also will receive a coveted campaign from Groupon Grassroots, to earn more financial support for their projects.
MPC will announce the two juried winners and honor all three winners – as well as all of the creative Placemakers who entered the contest – at an awards ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Metropolitan Planning Council, 140 S. Dearborn St., Suite 1400.
MPC encourages community organizations and individuals who want to turn vacant spaces in their neighborhoods into great places to attend the event, to network and trade ideas with these inspiring community leaders. Complete details about the ceremony and registration are available on MPC's web site. The event is free; registration is required.
"There is still enormous potential for Placemaking in our cities, and meeting with like-minded individuals who have succeeded can help spur others on to action," said Novara
MPC would like to thank our contest sponsors, Michaels Development Company and Groupon Grassroots, for their generous contributions.
Since 1934, the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) has been dedicated to shaping a more sustainable and prosperous greater Chicago region. As an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, MPC serves communities and residents by developing, promoting and implementing solutions for sound regional growth.

Nuisance algae being observed in Rapid Creek
Nuisance blooms of an algal species historically inhabiting clear, low-nutrient streams, have been observed in Rapid Creek since May 2002. The species - Didymosphenia geminata, or "Didymo" for short - appears to be expanding its geographic range and broadening its environmental tolerances. Learn more...

text: Meat Loaf will celebrate next Tuesday's release of his album Hell in a Handbasket by performing one of its songs, "The Giving Tree," on NBC's Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Wednesday. This could be a rare U.S. performance for Meat this year, as he says he doesn't know if he'll tour. He tells Classic Rock magazine, "Right now they want me to, but I don't know that I can." Meat dealt with a series of health issues on tour last year, as well as last month prior to an appearance on a U.K. TV talk show.


text: After I sent the picture, it dawned on me that Leland's Mom might know when or where the picture was taken. It was great talking to her. She knew exactly which picture I was talking about (she has one "somewhere") and we did nail down where the picture WASN'T taken (at the World's Fair since Lyle didn't make that trip). So that pretty much means that it was taken somewhere here in Idaho. Having said that, the possibilities run from Weiser on the West, north to Riggins, east to Sun Valley, south to Gooding, then back to Weiser. There were dozens of stops in between, including Pine, where the Pfost's and I used to own a time share. We had a jam session there one Labor Day weekend and the Mayor of MH tapped his feet to what was some of the best fiddling west of well Wesier. I gotta call Leland's mom back and see how she did on her Elk Hunt. Life was good even way back then

text: Technical Abstract: Water and sediment from upslope areas affect erosion processes on a downslope segment. The detachment potential of the runoff water will decrease as the sediment content is increased until a sediment transport capacity, Tc, is reached and the excessive amount of sediment beyond Tc will then be deposited. This concept has not been tested experimentally. A dual-box system, a 1.8-m long sediment feeder box and a 5-m long test box, was used to quantify run-on water and sediment effects. The test box has holes at the bottom for controlling the vertical hydraulic gradient. Experimental variables were rainfall intensity, slope steepness, near- surface hydraulic gradient and run-on sediment concentration. Results demonstrat that under free soil drainage conditions, a decrease in run-on sediment content caused a corresponding increase in downslope sediment detachment resulting in a relatively constant sediment delivery from the test box. Under artesian seepage conditions, sediment deliveries were 3 to 6 times greater than those under drainage conditions and decreased as the erosion event progressed, possible due to a reduction in soil erodibility. Sediment detachment by the run-on water increased as the erosion event progressed. Sediment detachment by the run-on water increased as either slope or rainfall intensity was increased or when the surface was changed from a drainage to a seepage condition. These results demonstrated that the sediment delivery reached a dynamic equilibrium and the dual-box system can be used to study erosion processes similar to those occurring on a hillslope. A process-based erosion model needs to account for surface hydraulic conditions and the associated erosion processes and their interactions.

The One Direction boys, Harry, Zayn, Liam, Louis and Niall, have all revealed what names they use to describe a woman's boobs, and it seems among the top faves are "jubblies" and "chicken fillets."
The lads made their revelations during an interview with Sugarscape, which Liam kicked off after being asked, "What's your favorite words for boobs?"
He said "My favorite word for boobs? That's a tough question…"
Louis then wanted an expansion on the question, saying, "When you say boobs, do you mean the full breast or just the nipple?"
"The pair," the interviewer clarified…
Harry chipped in saying he loved the word "mammary" while Louis said, "I actually quite like the word boobs."
Liam added, "Jubblies is often used," and Zayn agreed that he loves that word. But of course, ladies' man Harry had quite a lot to say on the subject.
He said, "One time I was in Spain and I bought one of those big rubber boobs.
"I ended up throwing it into a pond and then somebody's dog went in and got it out of the pond.
"And the owner said 'Oh, my dog's carrying a mammary.' And that's how I know what mammary is."
Niall concluded the interview, saying "chicken fillet is my favorite word for boob."
Good to know.
Meanwhile, in this clip, you can see the boys being interviewed for Radio City recently…

GenARDIS 2002 - 2010: Small Grants that Made Big Changes for Women in Agriculture
Association for Progressive Communications (Radloff), University of Guelph (Hambly Odame)
This document discusses the work of the Gender, Agriculture and Rural Development in the Information Society (GenARDIS) small grants fund, which was initiated in 2002 to support work on gender-related issues in information and communications technologies (ICTs) for the African, Caribbean, and Pacific regions. The small grants fund was disbursed to diverse projects in order to counter barriers to women living in rural areas. This document records the process and results, and is intended to contribute to more gender-aware ICT policy advocacy.

Track the West Africa Polio Campaign
In early 2009, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) created an initiative to enable tracking of the West Africa polio campaign via Google maps. This ongoing communication initiative is designed to raise awareness about polio by sharing updated information through information and communication technology (ICT).
Visitors to the West and Central Africa Regional Office website can track the progress of the February 2009 8-country synchronised polio campaign. The technology of "Google maps" provides various windows on the polio outbreak response, which sought to reach 53 million children under the age of 5 in 8 West African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Niger, and Togo, in coordination with Nigeria). Click here to view the map with either English or French content.
The map includes details such as polio-related facts and figures about each country, 2008 imported polio cases, and 2009 polio case count. Also, one may locate media reports about polio and the campaign for each country; for example, by clicking on an icon that looks like a transmission tower on the map in Nigeria, one accesses a list of articles published recently on strategies being implemented to fight false rumours about the vaccine, etc. Also, a green icon that looks like a microphone signifies "voices from the field". By clicking there, one may listen - for example - to an interview of Dr. Chitou, Chief of UNICEF Immunization Programme in Niger, discussing preparation efforts in that country.
More than 162,000 trained immunisers will aim to reach every child with a polio vaccine (67,000 for Nigeria only). A total of 66 millions doses of vaccine are made available for each round of the campaign (33 million for Nigeria only). The campaign is scheduled in two rounds: the first from February 27 to March 2 and the second from March 27-30 2009.
This action is being organised as part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), a partnership spearheaded by the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and UNICEF.

Operation Haute Protection
Population Services International (PSI), as part of their Operation Haute Protection project, has initiated a billboard campaign in Togo that is designed to discourage multiple concurrent relationship
The campaign involves large billboards that aim to create shame, particularly for older men, around relationships between older men and young girls. The billboards feature a picture of an older man, probably in his 40s, and the message - "what would you do if this man was sleeping with your daughter? So why are you sleeping with his daughter?"
According to PSI, the campaign has created a great deal of controversy, with organisers receiving angry phone calls from men who say that the campaign was spoiling the market, that they did not know what this campaign was meaning to do, but that every time they see it they feel ashamed. On the other hand, they have also received feedback from young people saying that they feel relieved to know that they are not alone.
The campaign, which also involves the military, runs workshops for military wives' clubs. According to the organisers, women are becoming more empowered through the workshops. In the past, women's way of dealing with their husbands' infidelity was to reject it. Now, they accept the infidelity as inevitable, but they are trying to make sure that the family is protected by ensuring that their husbands use condoms.
HIV and AIDS
Organisers say that because polygamy is expected - and, in fact, legal - in Togo, HIV prevention strategies that focus on fidelity and faithfulness can be challenging. In addition, relationships between older men and teenage girls is a real problem, especially when considering the fact that neither party necessarily recognises the risk of HIV transmission. Organisers say that men assume the girls are too young to have sexual experience, and the girls believe the men are respectable and healthy.

Kids Waves
Each radio show revolves around a theme linked to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and is broadcast on 110 radio stations across the region each week. According to the organisers, a big part of the project is the involvement of children and youth in the production and broadcasting of the programmes.
Each week, producers travel from village to village to train 12 children to produce and host radio shows. The project is designed to allow children to express themselves, gain valuable skills, and entertain their peers and families, while at the same time raising awareness of their rights and responsibilities. The programme's jingles as well as songs promoting child rights are also produced by young musicians.
The 30-minute radio shows are recorded live - a strategy for giving parents, community leaders, and local authorities the opportunity to discuss issues that are relevant and interesting to children. The goal is to thereby foster a greater interest and awareness of the needs, desires, and rights of young people in their communities.
Since Kids Waves has been used, adapted, and localised in different ways in each country, a brief description of each country's version is outlined below:
- Radio Gune Yi (Senegal) - According to the organisers, RGY was the first radio programme in West Africa produced by, for, and with children. On air since March 2005, RGY provided the base from which Kids Waves was developed. A television version, Télé Gune Yi, is currently being developed with national broadcaster RTS (Senegalese Radio Television).
- Deviwo Be Radio (Togo) - DBR was launched in December 2004. It has one main production partner station, and broadcasting is assured by 13 other private partner stations, rural or community, giving the programme airplay across the country. According to the organisers, the programme has had a significant impact on Togo's children and adults.
- Bibir Radio (Burkina Faso) - Launched in April 2005, this programme was broadcast in French and four local languages through February 2009. Child hosts hailed from diverse communities and localities where Plan works. Professional journalists from the national broadcaster supervised production. A total of 127 radio shows were produced in 127 communities for broadcast on 12 partner stations across the country. The children who participated set up 15 Bibir radio clubs in order to continue child rights promotion. One of the radio partners, "Radio La Voix du Lac", now offers his studio space for one hour per week so that the local radio club can broadcast a live radio show called "Les enfants à l'antenne". The show, which also features a contest, is designed to allow children to discuss child rights and their needs and concerns.
- Eto Dodo Deviwo (Benin) - Launched in May 2005, the EDD programme broadcasts in French and four local languages. Recently, Plan Benin partnered with the Office of Radio and Television in Benin (ORTB) to produce TV programmes to complement the radio show. In addition, Plan supports Radio Tokpa in their programme, Dimanche des Enfants, which gives children a half-day radio show on the last Sunday of each month. They discuss child rights and their needs and problems with adults and peers. The children are trained by professional journalists in gathering news and writing content. In this way, these shows complement those made by EDD and ORTB.
- Demisenw Kun Kan (Mali) - Launched in July 2005, the project has also supported the formation of 45 children's clubs to promote child rights. The programme is produced by the Office for Radio and Television Mali, and broadcast on 13 partner radio stations across the country.
- La Voix de Finda et Alpha (Guinea) - Launched in March 2006, this programme is, according to the organisers, possibly one of the most popular shows for young people in Plan's operational zones. It broadcasts in five languages.
- Pikin Dem Voice (Sierra Leone) - This programme was launched in May 2006. Prior to the launch, a recording session of stories of "I am a child but I have my rights too!" was held in the production studios in the Moyamba District Children's Awareness Radio (MODCAR) in August 2005. A two-week jingle and music workshop was also conducted in Freetown in March and April 2006 with the support of WARO radio technicians.
- Yen Adwen (Ghana) - These radio shows, hosted by children themselves, discuss various subjects : parents' separation/divorce, drugs, protecting children's private lives, parents' responsibilities, hygiene, protection of the environment, teenage pregnancy, water and sanitation, etc.
- I am a child but I have my rights too! (Cameroon) - Launched February 27 2007 following the training of radio presenters in May 2006 in Yaoundé, this initiative involves 18 partnering radio stations assuring the broadcast and coordination of short sketches related to various child rights and played by children in French and English.
- I am a child but I have my rights too! (Liberia) - Dozens of children were chosen and trained by professional actors to play short sketches linked to different child rights. These sketches have been recorded on CD and broadcast on various partner radio stations.
The Plan regional child media website provides details on Kids Waves and its activities in each country as well as on all the radio shows produced.
In addition to the radio programmes, Plan has produced two guides to help children and trainers prepare radio shows in the Kids Waves framework. They have also produced an information guide on child rights that can be used for planning and preparing shows.

According to the organisers, as of 2009:
- More than 25,000 young people have been directly involved since 2004;
- 2,000 radio shows have been produced since 2004 and broadcast on 110 radio stations;
- more than 500,000 people have attended the live shows; and
- millions from the region have listened to the programmes.

Improving Access to HIV Prevention Messages and Services among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Togo
This brief explores a peer-education-based programme launched by Population Services International (PSI) in 2007 in an effort to reach men who have sex with men (MSM) in Lomé, Togo, with HIV prevention messages and products, referrals to appropriate HIV counselling and testing (CT) services, psychosocial counselling, and diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
PSI website, December 10 2010.
Improving Access to HIV Prevention Messages and Services among Men Who Have Sex with Men
Population Services International (PSI) launched a peer-education-based programme in 2007 to reach men who have sex with men (MSM) in Lomé, Togo, with HIV prevention messages and products, referrals
PSI recruited and trained 17 young men to serve as peer educators and reach MSM with HIV prevention messages and products. Using their social networks, these men are able to reach other MSM to share HIV prevention messages and provide discreet distribution channels for condoms and sexual lubricants.
Peer education activities are complemented by the sponsorship of social activities, such as monthly movie nights. While these events are intended to provide men with an opportunity to socialise in a safe and accepting environment, PSI uses these gatherings to further promote HIV prevention messages and products.
Over time, the peer education component of the programme has adopted new strategies. To reach MSM who are married to women and have children, the programme recruited 3 MSM who are married to women and trained them to share HIV prevention messages with other married MSM. While integrated into the larger peer education programme, these MSM peer educators work very discretely to provide HIV prevention messages and products to a segment of the population that does not openly associate with other MSM.
Since March 2008, PSI has collaborated with a local organisation, Espoir Vie Togo (EVT), to provide mobile HIV CT services to MSM. PSI trained counsellors from EVT in the particular needs of MSM and how best to counsel and support these men. Mobile CT services are offered during social events, including private parties and PSI-sponsored movie nights. These mobilisation efforts highlight the importance of knowing one's HIV status, addressing stigma toward people living with HIV, and reinforcing HIV prevention messages.
In 2006, with support from the Global Fund, PSI conducted a small qualitative study to explore the HIV-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices of young MSM in Lomé. The study found that consistent condom use was low, and most men did not believe they were at risk of HIV infection. This low perception of personal risk was described as linked to a belief among MSM in Lomé that HIV is contracted by having sex with women. Men in the study also reported that stigma was a significant barrier to accessing HIV prevention products and services, such as condoms, water-based lubricants, and HIV CT, and that MSM do not identify with HIV prevention programmes designed for the general population. These findings motivated the project summarised above.
PSI has expanded the reach of its MSM programme beyond Lomé by establishing peer education teams in Kara, Kpalimé, and Aného.
Support provided by the Togo government, the Global Fund, and the Dutch Strategic Alliances with International NGOs (SALIN) grant programme.
Girls Making Media Project
Initiated in May 2010, the Girls Making Media Project is designed to contribute to the elimination of gender discrimination and low quality media reporting on adolescent girls' issues in West Africa. This 3-year project seeks to empower girls to use media to address issues facing adolescents, especially gender discrimination, and to work with adult journalists to improve their coverage of these issues.
The Girls Making Media project works to address gender discrimination using the following strategies: strengthening the capacity of adolescent girls to advocate against gender discrimination by making efficient use of diverse forms of media; increasing girls' opportunities to access media-related jobs; training adult journalists on issues facing adolescent girls; and increasing public awareness of the needs of adolescent girls in West Africa at the community, national, and regional levels.
The project involves the following activities:
To begin with, the project interacts with existing children's and youth organisations and girls' clubs to identify interest in the project. Once a selection of clubs has been made, Plan carries out a participatory assessment of their knowledge of gender issues and their organisational capacity to carry out advocacy and make efficient use of media. For this purpose, the regional office designed a simple self-evaluation tool to be administered by the children, which is based on existing auto-evaluation tools. The tool seeks to determine children's individual and collective assets, achievements, and agency, as a basis to monitor their personal and group empowerment process.
The training activities for the girls' clubs are based on an already existing youth group training guide developed by Plan Togo. The guide comprises five modules on Child Rights, Life Skills, Advocacy, Sexual and Reproductive Health, and Group Organisation. The project is expanding the guide to include a sixth and seventh module on Gender and the Use of Social Media for Advocacy. The guides use participatory training methodologies and local facilitators of children's and youth groups engaged in the project will be trained in Training of Trainers' sessions. To kick off the project in Sierra Leone, Plan Sierra Leone collaborated with IMASS Production to offer a two-day training workshop to 140 beneficiaries (75% girls and 25% boys) covering group organisation, management, networking techniques, and media/communications.
To ensure that adolescent girls have the chance to exchange and learn from their peers' experiences, Plan supports the girls with opportunities to meet and exchange during training sessions and follow-up meetings. Plan is also reviewing the possibility of using mobile phones and blogging as exchange tools, depending on the location and network/internet access of the identified girls' groups.
A selection of 40 girls (10 from each country) with a special talent and keen interest to enter the journalistic profession will be identified and supported to receive an internship with media partners and/or courses in local media schools. The internships will not only enable them to affirm their decision to enter the media sector, but also increase their future job opportunities. This activity will commence at the end of year two of the project.
Plan is also working with adult journalists who are engaged in Plan's national radio project "Kids Waves" and are active in the defence and promotion of child rights and gender. Identified journalists receive training on ethical reporting on gender discrimination and violence against adolescent girls. In the selection of participants, emphasis is put on female journalists who will continue to work with the girls' clubs, serving as role models as well as mentors and coaches to the girls.
Gender Equity, Youth Empowerment, Rights, Gender-base Violence.
Plan expects that, by the end of the project, 560 girls from youth organisations in Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Togo and 120 journalists from the four countries will have increased capacity and be actively advocating against gender discrimination and gender-based violence. They say the project will result in increased public awareness - about the causes, consequences, and possible solutions to gender discrimination and gender-based violence - amongst young people and decisions makers at the family, community, and district levels.

I halfway understand that to be a writer or an artist of any kind means I have to roll up my sleeves and do the work.
The other half of understanding this is knowing the real work is actually found in living, in engaging in my daily routines, in things like gardening or simply playing with my dog.
I have to roll up my sleeves and show up to write, but I have nothing to share if I am not first fully engaged in living, noticing and listening.
Being a Digital Artist does not tether me to the internet. It is actually the opposite. It is found in the ability to disconnect from the feedback, approval and the constant monitoring of my online presence.
I have to write for the sake of writing. I have to live for the sake of living, not for approval or applause. This freedom has given me back my lens of noticing and just listening.
For me, life is about living simply without becoming austere. What can I give away? What do I really need to live happily? And what is it that makes me happy?
What can I notice today and what are these things telling me? Why are they significant enough to be held in my memory?
Today I noticed the leaves in the birdbath
How everything looks polished in November blue skies -
This past weekend I noticed the grass in the marsh
I should pick up more shells -
Collect more rocks
Throw them back -
Take more pictures -
Garden more -
Live more
Notice more
Write more poetry…
Sharing these things online is what makes digital artistry so enjoyable to me. But the irony is that in order to get it – I first had to disengage from the addiction to approval that the internet gave me.
My digital space is like a scrapbook of poetry, photography, tiny lessons I have learned in the garden and wrinkled letters smelling of cedar trees. I find myself intrigued by others who are offering the same; simply living their lives and sharing the things they notice.
All of these things we do online; finding our niche', our market, our readers, they simply come down to celebrating our lives. Not just the good moments, but also the vulnerability, the bad, the frustrations, the changes. When you share you find you are not alone and your readers show up.
Here is a short list of other digital artists I am currently following:
You might enjoy their beautiful photography, their short bursts of inspiration, their vulnerability and writing that cuts truth into juicy halves big enough to share.
Horse Dancing / Paula Josa-Jones – She asks the questions that get me writing.
A Big Creative Yes / Dan Goodwin – Dan is a creative coach. I recently connected with him on Google+.
Rhayne-A Map of My Planet - really inspiring photography and insight!
The Good Eye Project / Robin Anderson – more great photography and insightful posts!
Lauren Rushing's Flickr Stream – This is a new flickr stream Dan Goodwin introduced me to. Really amazing!
They teach without teaching and lead without the need for followers by simply living and being brave enough to share their lives.
They lean into uncertainty, vulnerability and fear everyday and I honor them for that.
Who are the Digital Artists that inspire you the most?
Maybe you can join me here on Google+.
As always, I honor your inbox. If you are receiving this by email and no longer wish to receive my posts please, please unsubscribe below!
I always respect your right to say no.

Well, fellow Steelers' fans here we go again; another season of more of the same.
Mike Tomlin spoke of needing consistency, before Sunday's night's game...and that is indeed a concern to me. At the end of last season's train wreck in the superbowl, there were plenty of "coaching areas of opportunity" and things that needed fixing. Our 2011 season start can be described as a lack luster preseason, and so far a lack luster start to the beginning of the regular season. The question I ask is, "what are we in store for, really"? I'd like to be optimistic and think of the Steelers' of the 1970's (the decade of dominance); when we had championship form all the time. The modern day Steelers that "we love" have a Dr. Jackal / Mr. Hyde personality that makes them unpredictable and sometimes flat out scary. Especially the years they've come off of a championship or superbowl run. What fan in Steelers Nation can forget our glorious return to championship form in 2005-06 only to turn around the next year and have the wheel fall off at 8-8 and not even make the playoffs. The last time we got a shellacking from the Baltimore ravens. I remember being confident and saying that's okay we'll see you again, and then got beat worse in November of that year. Only to turn around in 2009-2010 season and lay a goose egg –at the big dance. Although its recent history, it's still fresh in my mind.
Taking a closer look at this season's start at 2-1, the wins are over marginal opponents, a Seattle club searching for an identity and the Peyton Manning-less Colts. Maybe I'd feel better if the team had bothered to show up at all, in the first game...against the ravens. As for now I will remain cautiously optimistic about the season thus far.
On the brighter side:
It does appear Ben is trying (just a little) to get rid of the ball quicker and not stay in the pocket as much, although he still has a ways to go on his attempts to release the ball in time. The secondary and the offensive line are struggling, they do look to have improved somewhat in the past two games; but they still have some work to do. With no imaginative running plays and a predictable offense, this is not the formula for a championship or superbowl. You're not fooling anyone Bruce Arians!!
Don't get me started on Mendenhall. The good news is, Tomlin is aware the running game must improve.
"I'll acknowledge that we didn't do well the other night and that we better improve in that area and improve in a hurry because we desire to be balanced offensively," said Coach Mike Tomlin. "
I love my Steelers's, that's why I'm so hard on them. To whom greatness is given, much is required…. So its time to step our game up, and play like the champs we are!

The shelving of biotech giant Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) wheat has brought relief to Alberta's organic producers, but disappointment to some grain farmers.
The multinational giant suspended research and development on its GM Roundup Ready Wheat last week, after deciding there wasn't enough market acceptance to make it economically worthwhile. It denied it was pressured into the decision by lobby groups opposed to genetically modified foods.
"There is a lack of industry alignment from producers and farm organizations on how to introduce biotech wheat," said Winnipeg-based Monsanto Canada Inc. spokeswoman Trish Jordan.
Monsanto, which has international headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., already produces genetically altered canola that is resistant to its trademark Roundup herbicide. And company officials say they intend to continue work on developing new biotech traits that would improve crop resistance to drought and specific diseases.
Some grain producers wanted GM wheat, noted Jordan, while others did not. The challenge remains on how to introduce GM wheat, while still respecting those who choose to grow conventional wheat, she added.
Monsanto may reconsider selling its GM wheat in the future if it senses wider industry acceptance, Jordan said.
The Canadian Wheat Board opposed GM wheat, claiming 80 per cent of its markets indicated they would stop buying Canadian wheat if its farmers began growing GM wheat. Canada would have been the first country to grow GM wheat.
Genetically modified crops are engineered to resist herbicides, allowing farmers to spray them for weed control without damaging the crop.
For Cochrane-area grain producer Tim Harvie, the news from Monsanto was not good.
"I'm not even saying I would have grown it, but farmers need to have choices, to have options. Biotech is the way of the future, and I think it's a shame this happened," Harvie said.
With farmers struggling through consecutive years of drought and sagging grain prices, GM wheat would have provided "another tool to grow an economical crop," Harvie noted. GM crops provide superb weed control and can increase yields, or at least maintain a healthy yield during drought years, he added.
Harvie cannot understand why GM wheat is so controversial, since other GM crops, such as corn, cotton and oilseeds, are widely accepted. "I guess it's because wheat is still considered a staple of our diet. Bread is still a basic product."
Bob Hymas, an Alberta Grain Commission board director, has been growing Monsanto's Roundup Ready canola for five years, but he agreed with the company's decision to pull GM wheat.
"We need more safeguards. We have to be careful with GM wheat, because we don't fully understand its potential impact," said Hymas, who farms at Rosebud, east of Calgary.
Canada could not risk losing the Japanese market, its largest market outside Canada, he added.
The Asian market and the European Union were among the countries threatening to curtail imports of Canadian wheat if Monsanto had commercialized GM wheat.
The Canadian Wheat Board feared those countries would have turned to Australia and Europe for GM-free wheat, costing millions of dollars in lost exports.
Alberta's Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, which represents more than 1,000 farmers, applauded Monsanto's decision. "We are not against GM products, but the timing was not right for GM wheat," said president Bill Dobson. "The risk of losing market share is not worth its benefits. The farmers aren't ready for (GM wheat), and the consumers are not ready for it."
Promoting GM wheat on the merits of being herbicide-tolerant was "not a good sell-ing point," Dobson said. "Acceptance is going to have to come from some other reason."
Other groups also applauded the decision.
"This is a tremendous victory for consumers everywhere," said Nadège Adam of the Council of Canadians. "No matter how Monsanto frames this, it is very much a full retreat from a project that was doomed from the beginning. This is a serious blow for this company and for the commercialization of genetically engineered (GE) crops in Canada."
The council said it planned, in concert with other groups, to continue a campaign against GE food until the government agrees to a moratorium on all future GE crops.
In a recent visit to Calgary, Saskatchewan grain farmer Percy Schmeiser encouraged producers and consumers to fight the introduction of GM wheat.
He said he feared farmers could lose control of their land once they signed contracts to grow GM Roundup Ready Wheat, and that consumers were in danger of losing the option of buying non-GM food.
Monsanto is suing Schmeiser for having Roundup Ready canola growing on his farm, but the farmer denies planting the crop, saying GM seed was either blown into his field or fell off passing trucks.
Unlike canola, volunteer wheat is not easy to kill, Dobson added. (A volunteer plant is one that grows where it is no longer wanted or intentionally seeded). "Eventually, GM wheat would be in everything we grow. It's difficult to keep out."
Each GM product needs to be assessed case by case, said Stewart Wells, president of the Saskatoon-based National Farmers Union. "Roundup Ready wheat had so many problems. There was resistance from consumers and from farmers."
Monsanto's decision will no doubt renew the debate over GM foods, as biotech work continues in such crops as corn and soybeans, Wells said.
Environmentalists oppose GM crops, fearing they create super weeds as stronger chemicals have to be used to kill strains that have become herbicide-tolerant because of genetic alteration.
The battle over GM wheat may not be over, Wells said, noting that Monsanto has not yet cancelled its application to the federal government to sell GM wheat.
Organic producers have also protested GM crops, believing that pollen drift from such plants jeopardizes their crops and livelihood. About 12.5 per cent of Canada's agricultural land mass is now cultivated with GM crops.
"Anytime we see retrenching like this, it's positive," said Tony Marshall of Highwood Crossing Farm at Aldersyde, south of Calgary. "This is great news, and hopefully it's for the long term."

| Polyphasic Sleep: Uberman or Everyman?
Hi everyone, I've decided to switch my sleep pattern for the foreseeable future, mainly because 16 hours a day is falling a bit short. The question would be whether to go Uberman or Everyman? I see Everyman more on the cautious side, as you still have some core sleep and Uberman as the extreme where even days begin to fade. Right now I'm leaning more towards Uberman, as I can fit it perfectly on my schedule, but the adaptation period is just too much not to be able to work; whereas with Everyman, I'll be able to resume mindless work after a few days. Not that it matters, but I have set the start up date for the change on my 19th birthday, the 20th of March. What are you thoughts? |

If you feel like there are too few hours in the day, you should look at your day and figure out what is important and what is not. Changing your sleep pattern is opening a can of worms. You can permanently mess up your circadian rhythm. You might want to discuss this with your doctor or with any shift worker who has lived through the problems of changing sleep hours. Also do you feel refreshed immediately after awakening? If you don't then you have to realize that for 30 minutes to an hour after waking up, each time, you will unlikely be productive. |

As for doctors, I did ask my physician and some other doctor in the family; my physician knew next to nothing on the subject, and the other one didn't even know polyphasic sleep could mean something else beyond circadian rythm disorders . The problem with my current amount of hours lays on the fact that I'm putting far too many work hours a day (I'm starting a new business), and this I'm afraid will forcefully continue for the next few months. There is also the fact that I used to do next to zero physical activity and now I'm going to a gym 3 times a week and to a swimming pool the other 4 days. I just can't fit my much needed usual mental activities if I don't add at least 4 hours to my waking days. ROFLMAO. All but one of my relationships have been polyamorious . As for D/s, I haven't found a suitable partner; not that I've spent any time doing so anyways. | |

I'd vote for uberman. I'll be doing a uberman trial soon enough, somewhere in March. It's a risk you take with polyphasic sleep. I don't really think discussing with a doctor will help anything since polyphasic sleep isn't really like changing sleep hours (adjusting to sleeping 2 hrs a day doesn't compare to adjusting to sleeping in the morning) and there has been absolutely no research done on polyphasic sleep.

Any suggestions? im kind of concerned about it messing me up but if anyone has suggestions that would be great. Also is it really bad if you miss a nap? Thanks |

Everyman is much more flexible. I switched between the 2 and 3 nap version. With the 3 times a day one, I noticed the extra time a lot more. You can delay naps a bit, but not much. The twice a day nap worked out much better. You have at least an hour flexibility on naps and if you miss one out, you'll be tired all day, but can just sleep an extra 1.5 hours at night to catch up. The longer you do it, the easier it gets. It took me at least 3 months before I really felt 100% ok, but by the 6 month stage I felt better sleeping this way. I was not happy when I had to stop my Everyman sleep. | |

SEA Shepherd captain Paul Watson expects the Southern Ocean whale-hunting season to be cut short after a dramatic clash prevented Japanese boats refuelling.
The whaling fleet abandoned an attempt to refuel from a tanker yesterday when Sea Shepherd vessels intervened.
The activist group says three of its boats were then rammed by the Japanese ship Nisshin Maru.
Sea Shepherd claims the whaling vessels were acting illegally by refuelling in an area below 60 degrees south, an activity prohibited by an Antarctic treaty.
"The ICR (Japanese Institute for Cetacean Research) has announced a temporary halt in their whaling operations, which over the last few years usually means they're ending it for the season," Captain Watson told AAP today from the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin.
An ICR spokesman could not confirm the hunt had been halted but said refuelling had been suspended.
The Japanese organisation, which co-ordinates the annual hunt, was yet to comment further.
Captain Watson said he expected the Korean tanker Sun Laurel to refuel the Japanese vessels about 300 nautical miles further north.
But, with 18 days left in the whaling season, he said it was unlikely the fleet would then head south again.
"I feel that this is the end of it," he said.
Captain Watson rejected a Japanese suggestion his vessels had provoked the dangerous confrontation yesterday.
"Their argument is that we hit their fist with our face," he said.
"It was more like a case of road rage."
He said court action was unlikely after attempts to seek compensation for the sinking of the Ady Gil in 2010 had failed.
Sea Shepherd estimates only 12 whales were caught this season, which put in doubt the future of the annual hunt.
Captain Watson said, if it continued, Australia should send a vessel to keep the peace, even if it was successful in having whaling outlawed in action being taken at the International Court of Justice.
"I think the Japanese will just ignore the court," Captain Watson said.
"Then I would hope that Australia would send a vessel down to enforce that ruling."
The Federal Government has ruled out sending a navy ship to Antarctic waters.
"It's not something that we try to settle in a car park, we settle it in a court," Environment Minister Tony Burke told Sky News today.
Mr Burke said that asserting territorial claim by force undermined the Antarctic treaty system and threatened conservation efforts.
The Government will continue to fight its case against Japan's "flagrant violation" of anti-whaling laws in the International Court of Justice.
Former Greens leader Bob Brown, now a director of Sea Shepherd Australia, said this amounted to getting rid of the police force and relying solely on courts to deal with crime.
"You need a policing operation down there," he told Sky News.
"As it is, we've got a buccaneer country, the Japanese government, trespassing all over those laws, treading them into the ground."
Sending the navy would escalate the situation, but he warned the clashes between whalers and protesters would get "much worse" if the Government didn't find a way of policing the rules.
Opposition environment spokesman Greg Hunt said the Government had no excuse for not sending a Customs vessel to monitor activities in Australia's territorial waters.
