Great job opportunity for this summer!!
Companion care for a wonderful lady who has non-fluent aphasia and apraxia of speech. She would need transportation to and from Aphasia Center in Oakland for one to two days a week.
Thursdays: Pick up at 9:30am (she lives in Richmond District) and drive to the Aphasia Center in Oakland, get back to SF around 2:30-3pm. Below is the job description from her sister:
The companion would pick her up from home and drive to the Aphasia Center. If possible, the companion would stay with her during the class to see what material they are going over. Or if not, then she or he would perhaps run some basic errands during this time, such as grocery shopping. There are supermarkets and a commercial center near the Aphasia Center so perhaps the companion could take my sister to go shopping for food or other things. Then the companion would take her back home. They could work on "homework" from the aphasia center and engage in conversation that would be helpful for her to work on her communication and also just have her be in touch with people and events. You will have to guide me in the range of remuneration for type of work as I am not quite versed in this area, but I feel that we will also compensate for the driving by using the IRS standard mileage rates for CA. If you are interested, you can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
You can also contact me (Erin Campbell) at email@example.com if you have questions.

Rather than write a new appraisal of Christopher Hitchens, the outspoken iconoclast who died this past week, it seemed fitting to re-print Shlomo Schwartzberg's very fine review of Hitchens' memoir. Within it, Shlomo captured perfectly what made Hitchens such an essential voice.
Hitch-22: An Iconoclast Looks Back On His Life (So Far)
|Christopher Hitchens
It's not that Hitchens doesn't stand up for what he believes or goes against the grain. He certainly does. But Hitch-22 is largely a reflective, soft-spoken book wherein he (mostly) sets the record straight on his life, including his famous friendships and his adversarial politics. It's the latter he's become best known for, particularly from the days right after 9/11, when he rejected the left's moral equivalence between Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush and their justification for the terror attacks on America. He came out in support of the Iraq war and the toppling of Saddam Hussein, which led to Hitchens being ostracized by the anti-war left. While he's not necessarily embraced by the right, who are suspicious of his anti-religious diatribes and criticism of past American foreign policy, Hitchens is determined (as always) to stake out territory as an iconoclast who thinks solely for himself.
Hitch-22, which for some reason carries the explanatory and accurate sub-heading, Some Confessions and Contradictions, only on its copyright page, indeed lives up to those words. Hitchens confesses to a lot of things people likely didn't know about him, including his early sexual (read homosexual) dalliances in boarding school – though he is not gay – to some startling revelations about his mother's background, which he did not discover until after her death. As for the contradictions, well, that is something he has grappled with all his life. He first embraced communism, at a young age, only to later reject it for its many moral blind spots. Yet he still admires many of its tenets and doesn't really regret any of his early forays into Marxism, as some others who have fallen away from that 'faith' have. Nor is he shy about revealing an attraction (both sexual and political) to Conservative British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He admired her for her steadfastness, especially when she went to war against Argentina after that country seized the British Falkland Islands in 1982. Nevertheless, he remained all too aware of the social harm she was doing to his country of birth. Moving to America about thirty years ago, first for work in journalism and then making the fateful decision to live there and become an American citizen on his birthday in 2007, was also more than a bit contradictory considering his left-wing beginnings. Like most converts, he ends up being more of a patriot than many American-born citizens, particularly when it came to his horror and anger surrounding Al-Qaeda's' assault on his beloved adopted country.
Though Hitch-22, which is a variation on Joseph Heller's anti-war satire Catch-22, deals often with Hitchens' political journeys and beliefs, I was most moved by the chapters in the book which detail his generous views towards his late parents and his friends. In the chapters "Yvonne" and "The Commander," he pays lovely tribute to his mother and father: Eric, whom he clearly loved dearly and who raised him very well, even though, as in the case of Yvonne, a meaningful secret was kept from him and his brother, Peter. Hitchens' deep and long friendship with fellow writers Martin Amis (Yellow Dog, House of Meetings) and Salman Rushdie (Midnight's Children, The Satanic Verses) is movingly written about, too. One hilarious anecdote, told by Hitchens to demonstrate the remarkable quick agility of Rushdie's mind, concerns the word games Hitchens et al were fond of playing. In one of those games, speculating how the late thriller writer Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity) would have titled Shakespeare's plays, Rushdie came up with the brilliant The Elsinore Vacillation as the new moniker for Hamlet.
None of this should suggest that Hitchens is a strong supporter of Israel; on the contrary he's as apt to carelessly throw around words like ethnic cleansing in referring to Israeli policies towards the Palestinians as not. Yet, he's the only commentator whose anti-Israel views I can tolerate since he's so politically bang on most of the time. Besides, it seems to me that he's been ameliorating some of his views on Israel and Zionism since having too vehement a stance against the Jewish state puts him in bed with the Islamists and the immoral left he so hates.
Anyone with a passing knowledge of Hitchens' heroes and villains might be surprised to see how little ink he expends in Hitch-22 attacking his usual personal bête noires, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and ex-President Bill Clinton, both the subjects of tell all books by the author. (I understand the deep loathing he feels for the duplicitous Kissinger but re: Clinton, not so much.) Likely, Hitchens wants to give good value for your money, assuming, probably correctly, that his loyal readers have already devoured his works on those subjects. I'm glad that Hitchens' hectoring espousal of his atheism and virulent antipathy to organized religion is considerably reduced in Hitch-22. I'm not religious myself but his ad hominem attacks on organized religion have always struck me as somewhat hysterical and less credible than his norm, which is why I didn't bother purchasing his popular book against religion, God is Not Great. How Religion Poisons Everything. Much more appealing in Hitch-22 is Hitchens' frequent rejoinders on why the views and observations of courageous political writer/essayist George Orwell (Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty-Four) are still important today. (Not surprisingly Hitchens wrote a book on the man called Why Orwell Matters.)
There are a few omissions in the memoir, which I'd like to see rectified for the paperback release of Hitch-22 next June. For a book that's generally so honest and revealing, he barely mentions his family, except occasionally in passing. I know he wants to respect their privacy but I would have liked to know something about his two wives, including his current one writer Carol Blue, and his three children; Hitch-22 is a memoir, after all and surely his family is part of what makes Hitchens who he is. More information about his topsy-turvy relationship with his younger brother Peter, a religious conservative and writer (The Abolition of Britain, The Rage Against God) who once wrote that Christopher's support of the war in Afghanistan was "stupid" would have been welcome, too.
The two brothers have reconciled somewhat, particularly today when Christopher Hitchens is dealing with Stage 4 cancer of the esophagus, a cancer he might not beat. Ironically, the opening of Hitch-22 relates his philosophical observations when he was mistakenly listed as the "late Christopher Hitchens" in a British museum catalogue. This incident occurred before his cancer diagnosis so one shouldn't read anything into the subsequent tone and demeanour of Hitch-22, but it is chilling and startling nonetheless. I really hope Christopher, who is now 61 years of age, remains around for many years to come, chivvying those who don't want to hear what he has to say and comforting the rest of us who need him to speak the unpopular truths and expose the inconvenient realities of our time. We can't afford to lose someone of his rare ilk. Hitch-22 is a timely reminder of why Christopher Hitchens matters, too.

MÂCHÉ monitors legislative activity at the state level and periodically alerts members to national legislative issues as well.
Minnesota's homeschool regulations are not overly burdensome; however, they are more restrictive than many other states. When public school officials or legislators propose more restrictions, Minnesota homeschool leaders oppose the move often through legislative action.
MÂCHÉ alerts the homeschool community about legislative concerns in the The Paper MÂCHÉ, the Non-Paper MÂCHÉ electronic bulletin, and our e-alert system. When necessary, MÂCHÉ organizes testimony for legislative hearings. MÂCHÉ also provides extensive information about legal requirements and resources to members in the MÂCHÉ Handbook Online (available to MÂCHÉ members). Join MÂCHÉ or renew your membership by clicking the Membership tab at the top of the page. Annual membership fee is $45. Membership extends for twelve months from date of join or from expiration date if you are already a MÂCHÉ member.
Minnesota Homeschooling Laws Summary 2017
Homeschooling High School Summary 2017
Homeschooling High School requires parents to take into consideration and follow the same state laws as they do for homeschooling any other grades. However, there are additional options to consider in these upper years.
Helpful Links and Forms
Annual reporting forms!
In the summer of 2011, the Minnesota Legislature passed the Homeschool Mandate Reduction bill, improving homeschool reporting and strengthening homeschooling rights in Minnesota. We owe a huge thanks to Senator Gen Olson, Representative Mary Kiffmeyer and Representative Sondra Erickson. They did a fabulous job outlining the success of homeschooling over the last three decades and were rock solid in defending your right to direct the education of your children.
Minnesota law does not specify how home educators should write their annual report, only that it is due by October 1 each year and certain information must be communicated. MÂCHÉ encourages you to use one of our forms or to write your own letter instead of any documents a local school district may send because those usually are, to some degree, in error. Do not set precedent by reporting more information than the statute specifies.
The following reports are available as a single download to print:
New Instructions for Annual Report to School District ~ Initial Report to Superintendent (2 pages) ~ Letter of Intent to Continue Homeschooling
HSLDA - Home School Legal Defense Association
Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and to protect family freedoms. Through annual memberships, HSLDA is tens of thousands of families united in service together, providing a strong voice when and where needed.
Home School Legal Defense Association . . . tens of thousands of American families working together with HSLDA to preserve each other's right to homeschool . . . together, "Advocates for Family & Freedom."
MACHE Pre-Session Legislative Update
Homeschooling and the Law in Minnesota
Two Law Changes that have Minor Impacts on Homeschooling
The 2014 legislature made two minor changes to the laws relating to drivers education and tax credits that have general impacts, but are worth homeschoolers knowing about.
Participation in Athletics and Other Extracurricular Activities
Have the rules on participating in high school athletics changed for homeschoolers?
Yes. This summer the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) modified its rules for homeschool participation, essentially increasing the fee for those homeschoolers who choose to be members of MSHSL. This is for only a small percentage of the homeschoolers participating in athletics and provides an opportunity for a quick refresher on the rights of homeschoolers to participate in athletics and other extracurricular activities.

Annie and Nuala are sisters, aged 3-and-almost-a-half and just-about-6, respectively. Annie is our lipstick fanatic ("It would be so boring without lipbalm") and Beatles fan; Nuala is our resident fairy expert/budding scientist who fashions cellphones using paper, tape, crayons, and stick-on jewels. I get such an enormous kick out of watching them together. I don't have a sister. Two lovely brothers, yes, but let's face it– they're not very sisterly. Getting to observe the sister mystery from the outside, now, is quite an experience.
Even if Annie did just say, the other day, "If I didn't have a sister, I wouldn't have to share anything!" Or that Nuala comments quite frequently on Annie's ability to drive her "cuckoo-crazy."

In one word - disaster!
All what I had to is a very, very, very, very poor and mostly useless camera. And I really am not overreacting.
Actually, the camera I had was originally made to take photos. Well, luckly it had some other modes. My camera was absolutely useless on dark days or raining/showing, because without flash/light we were just recording darkness. I had to wake up quite early, because night comes quite quickly in winter. I've chosen one sunny day and took off with my movie star.
Another huuuge disadventage of my camera was that it didn't record sound at all! Now, I will have awful lot work to do with editing...

When compared to Kenya, Uganda's capital markets are not too busy.
It has been a couple of months since Actis sold off their holdings in Umeme. Next up is the dfcu Rights Issue which was approved by shareholders in order to pay off a US$50m bridging facility from Arise BV - a consortium of private equity firms Norfund, NorFinance, Rabobank and the Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO).
Aéko Ongodia, CFA, the Founder & CEO of Xeno Technologies, Inc spoke to Summit Business magazine about Uganda's capital markets and the dfcu deal in particular. Below are excerpts;
Surveys show that few listed companies in Uganda return to the market to issue corporate bonds, bonus shares, or rights issues. Why are listed companies ignoring the public?
It's a combination of reasons. The most cited one is the complexity involved and the detailed disclosures required by the regulators. Sourcing funding from the public through capital markets by issuing debt or equity requires companies to meet a stringent criteria designed by the capital markets regulator to protect the providers of the capital (investing public). Most companies are reluctant to meet the required disclosures and thereby close out a viable (and in many cases a cheaper) alternative to sustainable long term funding for their businesses.
Lack of professional accountants and auditors is not the reason; in my opinion we have a surfeit of people in those professions in the country today. Rather, it is the lack of professional investment advisors/ bankers and other capital markets professionals with an intimate knowledge of how capital markets work and how to help companies raise long term capital from the public through the capital markets.
Companies need guidance from professional transaction advisors with an understanding of intricacies of raising capital from the public markets but also an ability to convey the long term benefits of using such markets. The ignorance around optimal sources of long term finance is perplexing and has significantly hindered the evolution of many of our local companies. Many entrepreneurs lack a basic understanding of how companies evolve from mom and pop shops or startup phase. I am astonished by it but I now better understand that the underlying causes are lack of technical expertise with experience in capital markets. We are doing our bit at XENO Technologies to bridge the knowledge gap to help companies chase much bigger ambitions.
Lack of understanding of the optimal capital structure of a company and a culture of short termism prevents many local companies from thinking beyond bank debt for funding the operations. For companies that I have helped raise capital, I always emphasize to them that bank debt should only be tapped for short term needs and not be relied upon for long term funding for two reasons: it is short term and expensive. If companies have a long term objective of expanding into new markets or producing new goods and services and evolving into bigger and more resilient enterprises, then the tapping funding from the capital markets is the most optimal. Capital markets were created to provide companies with capital to pursue their long term objectives. By raising money from the public you have a much more diverse investor base and you establish a track record of excellent public disclosures of the affairs of your company which engenders trust amongst the investing public which helps the company raise money cheaply in the long run.
What needs to change to attract more companies to list and for listed companies to maximize opportunities on the bourse?
The country certainly can use a lot more capital markets professionals including fund managers and investment bankers/advisors. XENO has helped companies through the process issuing both debt and equity through the public markets in our previous careers. We're adding to the country's growing repository of professionals and we hope can help companies grow bigger and take more ambitious goals.
An appreciation of the various sources capital for funding businesses. Beyond the initial capital provided by founders and internally generated revenue; bank debt, issuance of equity through an initial public offering (or a rights issue), and issuance of corporate debt in the capital markets are the most prevalent sources of capital for companies. It is exceedingly important for companies to realize that funding their long term strategy using bank debt is not optimal. Capital markets were created to play this role.
Dfcu recently took over Crane Bank. Dfcu's management say that Crane bank's systems were inferior to dfcu systems and that this complicated harmonization of operations and transfer of clients. What is the ideal timeframe for normal operations to resume after a merger or takeover?
I was quite impressed by the professionalism exhibited by both Bank of Uganda and dfcu in concluding the Crane Bank transaction. What's more impressive was the speed and near flawless transition in switching over from and integration of the two systems. In the early 2000s we witness the nightmare switch from Uganda Commercial Bank systems to Stanbic systems that dragged on for years and more recently the switch from the Nile Bank systems to Barclays systems that also dragged and were the cause of a frustration to many customers.
However, dfcu has so far taken over two banks: Global Trust and Crane Bank and the transition for both has been nearly flawless. One could argue that technology has advanced significantly in such a way that transitions have become easier to manage from a technology perspective. My personal suspicion though is that dfcu took a strategic technology-related decision to focus on a flawless transition and minimize the pain customers face in such integrations. Although Crane Bank was a bigger fish to swallow relative to Global Trust bank, I suspect dfcu had both the experience, a laser-focused technology team, and strategic nous to make it look effortless. It is not hard to imagine that many people probably worked throughout the nights and weekends to make the switch appear effortless.
Is it easier for a listed company to attract low cost foreign capital, compared to an unlisted one?
It is almost always the case that a company with a track record of raising capital from the public will have an easier way in the subsequent raise compared to a first timer. This is essentially because going public (through an initial public offering) and subsequently listing on a stock exchange signals that a company is confident of its prospects, and has agreed to subject itself to the most stringent scrutiny by both the regulators and the investing public. Such public disclosures help companies establish a relationship with both the investing public and the regulators. In fact, many companies who want to issue debt over a long time, say over five years, will issue one prospectus that covers their entire funding program. To illustrate, if ABC Limited wants to borrow Ugx100 billion from the public over the next five years to fund its expansion into regional markets, it can apply to the capital markets authority to run a corporate bond program that spans five years with just one prospectus. In ABC's case, it can decide to tap Ugx20 billion each year for the next five years using just one prospectus.
There are always resources to be invested and many investors (both individual and institutional) are on the lookout for quality companies to invest in every day. A well-run listed company that has built rapport with the investing public will be able to easily raise the capital it requires cheaply. This is especially true for foreign capital who sometimes have mandates to invest in tradable (listed) instruments.
Does a company have to be listed to list a corporate bond? What are the benefits of issuing one?
A company's stock does not have to be listed on the exchange for it to issue a corporate bond. However, when it issues a corporate bond, the issued bond (not the stock) will be listed on the Uganda Securities Exchange. To my mind I can recall a few companies that issued bonds but were not listed on the Uganda Securities Exchange: PTA bank, Standard Bank Chartered Uganda, MTN Uganda, African Development Bank, and more recently Kakira Sugar Works. A company can choose to raise capital through debt, equity, or both. It is not obligated to be listed in order to issue a corporate bond.
Issuing bonds gives companies a lot of flexibility in deciding how they want to raise capital. They could decide to raise using floating interest rates, secured or unsecured, other features.
Because a bond normally pays annual interest coupon interest and principal at maturity which is usually several years down the road, more cash gets kept in the business initially.
Issuing corporate bonds does not dilute current shareholders unlike issuing equity (shares). Current shareholders get to hold the same percentage of the company if corporate bonds are issued.
Helps companies establish a track record with the investing public which in turn helps them raise money cheaply.
Other comments.
For banks and other technology-intensive companies managing, a flawless switchover after a merger or acquisition is supremely important. However, this has been made relatively easier with advances in technology. The real difficulty though is integrating the two cultures and subsequently harnessing the long term synergies to make the whole worth more than just the sum of the parts. The uncertainty around this is perhaps the reason dfcu's stock price has languished over the last 6 months.

Rowvalidated rowvalidating Sexchatsites
Grid Validation Mode is the dependency property that switches between the modes of validations.The validation modes are as follows: Validation occurs with the implementation of INotify Data Error Info in built-in business object and when the Grid Validation Mode is set to 'In View' mode.When you navigate away from the cell (within the same row), the navigation is handled, and it remains focused in the current cell.This event is raised when the current cell is validated with the new value and the Is Valid property of the Current Cell Validating event is set to 'true'.The following code example illustrates how the Unit Price field is validated .When the value is less than 50 it shows the Error Tooltip.In my case, I have a check box whose Is Checked property is data-bound to a property of the row's item.The problem occurs with "internal" row details as well as with an "external" Details Presenter.
Rows in the control are not automatically sorted when new rows are added.
We simply set the correct Data Context on the Details Presenter control hosting your template so that the Bindings you have defined inside your Row Details Template will work on the respective data item. All the best, Ross the Telerik team Thank you for your quick answer, Ross. My intent was to create a Master-Detail scenario, where the grid (master) only allows navigation to the next item (change the child), when the row'sitem validates.
Having cleared this out, if you need validation inside the Row Details template, it is up to you to provide it, since we have no idea about what will be inside the Data Template you have created. Please let me know if there is an easy way to achieve this using the row validation or another mechanism.
-or- This operation would insert a frozen row after unfrozen rows or an unfrozen row before frozen rows.
Sort method in a Cell Value Changed event handler to sort the rows when the user modifies a cell. -or- The row returned by the Row Template property has more cells than there are columns in the control.

My work for today took me to Lloyds TSB not far from Piccadilly Tube station. Out of the station, and a left turn with 10 minutes walk down the road brought me in front of where I would be working for the day 8-10 Waterloo Place.
At lunch time, i decided to take a stroll. The area looked impressive. I remember driving through a couple of times, but have never taken the opportunity to admire the scenary. So below I have some pictures I took.

Chinese Fringe Flower (Loropetalum chinense), evergreen, slow growth to 6 ft. in height with equal spread, horizontal growth habit, foliage can be bright green to deep burgundy, flowers white to bright pink heaviest in spring, some all year, sun to shade, regular water, prune to shape. If located at the edge of a retaining wall, Loropetalum can be pruned to cascade over the wall.
The white-flowering type, Loropetalum chinense, has been around for years and is truly a good dependable shrub, but it has never been widely grown. A pink-flowering version, Loropetalum c. rubrum, a relative newcomer to garden centers, has really popularized the plant. Some of the pink bloomers can be found under names such as 'Blush,' 'Burgundy,' 'Sizzlin' Pink,' 'Razzleberri,' and 'Rubrum.' Their airy ribbonlike blooms are striking, and some selections sport showy purple-green to burgundy foliage.

Confederate Flag Bandit Jailed Again – This Time on Drug Charges
BROOKSVILLE – Less than a week after being released on charges of Burglary, for allegedly trying to steal a Confederate Flag, 29-year-old Laura Marie Welsh was charged again; this time for possessing drugs and violating driving restrictions (ORIGINAL REPORT).
According to officials, deputies observed Welsh driving on Cortez Blvd, where she failed to maintain her lane from Sunshine Grove Road, eastbound to Mobley Road. Deputy Vincent Mascitelli conducted a traffic stop at that intersection, where Welsh told him that she had just come from Taco Bell and was trying to eat, which she says explained her erratic driving. She went on to say that she was hypoglycemic, which exacerbated her driving behavior.
When asked if she had anything to drink, Welsh replied that she had four beers around 6:00 pm.
During the interview, Dep. Mascitelli asked if she was under the influence of drugs or had anything illegal in her car. She replied "no" to both questions.
Dep. Mascitelli asked Welsh to conduct a battery of field sobriety tests, but she was unable to follow instructions due to what she says was her "hypoglycemia." EMS was dispatched to the scene, where she was cleared of any medical related conditions.
While looking through the window of the vehicle, Dep. Mascitelli observed a baggie filled with little yellow pill bars. When he asked Welsh if she knew what kind of pills they were, she hesitated and then said "The babysitters… But I don't have a prescription for them."
Upon retrieval, the pills were identified as Alprazolam (2mg) a schedule III drug.
After a check of Welsh' Driver's license, it was revealed restriction of driving for business purposes only. When asked if she worked for Taco Bell, she replied "No, I was coming from a friend's house."
Welsh was placed under arrest and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance and Violating the Restrictions of her Driver's License.
Welsh is free on a $2,500 bond.
It should be noted that Welsh was arrested 2007 on Grand Theft and Fraud Charges and again in 2010 on charges of DUI, Providing False ID, Driving on a Suspended License, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

The health of Ebola-sickened American Aid workers Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol has "miraculously improved" after receiving experimental drug ZMapp last week. Since news of their improving health, many health experts in the affected countries have been requesting access to the drug, including Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan. In response, ZMapp manufacturers, Mapp Industries Inc., has recently sent shipments of the drug to Africa and will continue to do so as more doses of the drug are developed. But the question still remains whether the experimental drug is effective against the deadly Ebola virus. The drug is not yet proven to be safe nor its efficacy validated for human use – in fact, the drug has not been approved for human use yet. But Ebola experts in Africa are urging the World Health Organization, FDA, and drug manufacturers for more access to ZMapp so that they can provide them to the hundreds of Ebola-sickened Africans. ZMapp seems to sound like the hope to stop Ebola from spreading, but they are still not the answer to stop the deadly disease. Access to the drug should still be limited and the focus should remain to improve and provide more needed people, facilities, and supplies to the affected countries.
Developed by San Diego's Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc., ZMapp is one of several medicines around the world being made to thwart the increasing spread of Ebola. Other companies developing Ebola medicines include Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. and BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. But like ZMapp, their drugs have only since been tested on animals. According to Mapp and Tekmira, however, results from animal testing "have been promising." But the drug has not yet passed the most important phases of the Federal Drug Administration-mandated clinical trials: testing on humans. So for good reason, the FDA cannot approve the drug for wide use until it has gone through this normal testing process.
There isn't even enough ZMapp to go around. As of today, the current Ebola outbreak has resulted in over 1,750 cases of the disease including more than 1000 deaths according to the World Health Organization. Even if the drug were approved for human use, there are "virtually no doses available" says Mapp Industries after sending shipments of the drug to Africa. Many will die waiting for the treatment drug as various sources report that there may be no more than a few hundred doses in a few months.
Doctors cannot even be certain that the improving health of Brantly and Writebol is a direct result of receiving the drug ZMapp. Dr. Anthony Fauci, immunologist and director of the US National Institutes of Health said, "It is not known if the improvements are a direct result of the drug" and added, "we don't even know if it works" and cited the possibility that the both of them could have been among the 40 percent of people who are surviving the outbreak anyway. In recent reports, Spanish priest Rev. Miguel Pajares, who also contracted Ebola in Liberia and was the third person to be administered the drug ZMapp, has died. However, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that he died as a result of receiving the drug or that he died as a result of his age and complications of his condition. Regardless, we would not be able to know specifically why and how he died because there is no scientific history or evidence of human reaction to ZMapp.
Moreover, there is no correlation between the results from Mapp's animal testing and the results from Brantly and Writebol's reaction to the drug. In Mapp's testing of the drug in monkeys, all infected monkeys survived when given the drug one hour after infection. When six monkeys were given ZMapp 48 hours after infection, only four survived. In current tests, scientists wait until monkeys show symptoms before administering the drug, by which only 43% of the monkeys survive. Brantly and Writebol were sick for nine days and four days, respectively, before being administered the drug. Additionally, Brantly was given blood from an Ebola survivor, which doctors speculate may have had an effect to his recovery. This may suggest that the drug ZMapp is not entirely a lifesaver. This also may suggest that Emory Hospital's facilities and resources may have impacted both Brantly and Writebol's improving health, which many doctors and experts strongly believe. But certainly, the results (or lack of) show that Brantly and Writebol are still merely a science experiment.
According to journalist and CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden, "drugs won't stop the current outbreak" and alluded that "patients who receive good supportive care can get better … if they get good hydration, or oxygen and treatment for other infections." Affected countries Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria are among the many third-world areas of Africa that cannot provide good supportive care due to an underdeveloped public healthcare infrastructure. Frieden also noted that when patients infected with diseases as deadly as Ebola are given the required supportive treatment and care they need, in reference to a similar outbreak scenario a few years ago, the patients have a tremendous chance at surviving. Those who are sick in Africa need to be identified and isolated so that they can be provided good supportive care and fight the deadly infection with a greater chance for recovery. Moreover, good supportive care can be provided to all of the infected because care is not limited to expensive and often rare resources that are needed to develop drugs like ZMapp.
Even President Barack Obama agrees "it is too soon to send an experimental drug to Africa" and also alluded that the Ebola virus "both currently and in the past – is controllable if you have a strong public health infrastructure in place." Our focus should be on providing the needed resources to help the infected in Africa. We should be setting up better and improved facilities so that we can provide the sick with the supportive care they need to recover. Although these facilities does not necessarily need equal facilities and resources like Emory Hospital here in the U.S., facilities should certainly be equipped and able enough to provide protection for healthcare workers and have enough resources to treat the sick, including more experienced healthcare workers, oxygen, antibiotics, and clean water.
God forbid the result of the drug does more harm than good, but like every experimental drug, there is the possibility that ZMapp can result in unforeseen and adverse consequences. If perhaps ZMapp does do more harm than good, then Americans would be crucified for not having done proper testing and evaluations of the experimental drug – we would be to blame. Doctors Without Borders, the organization who is currently aiding the infected in Africa, cautions that a "large-scale provision of treatments and vaccines that are in very early stages of development has a series of scientific and ethical implications." There is a reason why the FDA and WHO require pharmaceuticals to go through many rigorous tests and clinical trials. In 1996, Pfizer's experimental drug killed 11 children because there was uncertainty and miscalculation over the number of doses that should be administered. Writebol was given two doses of the drug ZMapp before getting better. But Writebol and Brantly's reactions are the only two results of the experimental drug known today – they are still sick, however. Pfizer's experimental drug included 200 children. Increasing the access to the drug may and can result in a similar consequence as the 1996 Malaria outbreak in Nigeria – no one knows yet.
Some might argue the drug should be given more access so that healthcare workers are safe from contracting Ebola. In recent reports, nurses and doctors are afraid to go to work because so many healthcare workers have been infected and have died from the deadly infection. Accordingly, they feel that the drug should be given to them so that they can go to work and help those in need without having to worry about contracting the disease. This idea is certainly something to consider if we did have successful Ebola treatments today. But the obvious result of healthcare workers not showing up to work is the increased amount of infection and death by the deadly disease. Many patients who may have had the chance to recover by being provided good supportive care are dying at homes and on the streets; they are arriving at hospitals where help is no longer there, or they are denied help because facilities lack the resources.
This growing concern should be the primary focus of the WHO and other international health agencies: there is a more dire need to provide the resources necessary to help contain the spread of Ebola and to help provide the proper care for the sick. Instead, WHO, FDA, and other health agencies around the world are busy deciding whether to go forward with the wide-scale use of the experimental drug ZMapp. The WHO and other international health agencies plan to meet and deliberate soon to discuss whether to go forward with experimental drugs.
Every human being on this planet faces the current issue of Ebola. Should there be a continued absence in the resources for caring for the infected, the highly contagious and deadly Ebola virus will continue to spread and kill at an alarming rate. I believe that we must first get the needed people, facilities, and supplies to the sick quickly and establish a strong public health foundation to enforce and strengthen the systems that are already in place. Once we have these supports in place, then we can consider the use of experimental Ebola drugs on those who need it most. Ebola is not a new disease that we are battling; the only things different this time are the places of infection and the large numbers of people living in those places.

The state Gaming Control Board has turned a train wreck into a smooth ride.
Board members meeting in Las Vegas on Wednesday unanimously recommended approval of the licensing of Las Vegas-based gaming equipment manufacturer Galaxy Gaming Inc., two months after one regulator called out the company's top executive's "train-wreck" application.
The board spent eight hours over two days of meetings scrutinizing Chairman and CEO Robert Saucier's suitability as a licensee after several questionable incidents in other states.
Saucier and his company were attempting to get a new license that would enable Galaxy to develop and distribute new games in Nevada.
The Control Board was on the verge of recommending denial of a license, which would have made it more difficult for a final approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission. Instead, the company opted to seek a delay in the process and referred the matter back to Control Board staff.
When explaining his justification to plan for a vote of denial in July, board member Terry Johnson said "train-wreck applications are a do-over opportunity" and encouraged Saucier to come up with another solution.
And that ultimate solution was that Saucier resigned his CEO, president and chairman titles, turning the chief executive and president duties over to Todd Cravens, who joined the company as a vice president of business development in January. Mark Lipparelli, a former Gaming Control Board chairman and state senator, was appointed chairman of Galaxy's board of directors.
The board's recommendation will be considered for final approval by the commission on Sept. 21.
Saucier will continue to serve on Galaxy's five-member board as a director, which has a lower threshold of scrutiny, and will hold shares in the company, but not a controlling interest. He'll focus on business development, one of his strengths.
Galaxy products — mostly side bets on traditional table games like blackjack — are operated by Southern Nevada's big six casino companies, MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment, Wynn Resorts, Las Vegas Sands Corp., Boyd Gaming and Station Casinos. Saucier has hired management away from rivals Aristocrat and Ainsworth and has placed high-profile executives on his board of directors and compliance committee.
Galaxy's product line includes Lucky Ladies, Texas Shootout and Three Card Poker.
Contact Richard N. Velotta at firstname.lastname@example.com or 702-477-3893. Follow @RickVelotta on Twitter.
Doubts in three states
While Galaxy has operated in Nevada for 17 years and has 583 tables in 82 casinos in the state, regulators in California, Oregon and Washington have had their doubts about Saucier.
The four-member California Gambling Control Commission's decision in 2013 to uphold an administrative law judge's ruling that Robert Saucier was not suitable to do business in California's tribal casinos came after a three-year investigation into Saucier's business license applications.
In Spokane, Washington, Saucier was president of the tribal Mars Hotel and Casino, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1997 and burned to the ground after being abandoned two years later. It was there that Saucier developed his first table games.
In Oregon, Saucier was the subject of an Oregon State Police inquiry into a licensing application and was never licensed there.

Book review
Review: blinc mascara
What they say: This tubing mascara wont smear smudge or run -plus it gives lashes a sassy, extra glossy look.
The cost: For .21 oz its $24.
Before without anything on my lashes
My thoughts: I was scared to use this at first because the instructions say that the only way to remove this is from warm water and a little pressure. I tried this and i really love the way this looks. I also discovered that when i remove it that i used a makeup wipe and it came off pretty easy, It does leave this bits of mascara because when this coats your lashes it creates a tube around your lashes. I would repurchase this.

Review: hydroxatone 90 second wrinkle reducer
I received this in the new beauty test tube.
What they claim: fast working firming and filling formulas that smooth lines across the entire face, instantly diminishing the appearance of crow's feet and laugh lines for younger looking skin. For a full size its $79.95
To use this product:You apply to your face or just around your eyes, Micronized firming ingredients instantly reduce the look of lines, crows feet and under eye bags. Just dab it on and you will feel the tighting in 90 seconds and it lasts for hours.
My thoughts: I hate this product. It does work in 90 seconds but I felt that it made any lines around my eyes more pronounced. I tried this for a week and i was never more glad to have my regular eye creams back and my eyes were thankful as well. And on another note way too overpriced.

review: orofluido beauty elixir
My thougths: As i have put into an earlier video. I have long hair and i do take care of my hair. So i was excited to try this. I feel a little let down. I think that it is overpriced and products can be purchased for way less that do pretty much the same thing. As for the scent, I really didnt notice a scent.

Unbelief: roadblock to true worship (INTRO) – APOLOGETICS AS WORSHIP
March 18, 2008
Having been raised an Atheist, I understand the power of unbelief – it can act as a religion unto itself, and can be as much a world-view shaping belief system as the most controlling cult. Now, as a Christian, and a worship leader, I have recently recognized one of the hindrances to passionate, full-personed (heart, mind, soul, & strength) worship: unbelief. All too often our personal faith is based merely on experience, and though our personal experiences can supplement a deep, intellectual wrestling with facts to find the truth, even the Bible is FULL of individuals who had radical experiences of God, who later – sometimes quickly – turned from that very God whom they experienced. To truly worship God, we must KNOW HIM (experience) with our Heart, KNOW ABOUT HIM (apologetics/theology/doctrine) with our Minds, HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL (it is not enough just to have a spiritual experience once, and to like the IDEA of God – we must have a soul-level on-going spiritual relationship with Him), and actively WALK WITH HIM (walking out what we know is true). We must love the One we know about in an on-going relationship that results in living differently – that is loving God with your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And we can only do this if our mind is on board, which is why there are such a thing as 'apologetics'.
2 Corinthians 10:5 says, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." Notice that at first this verse seems to encourage argument, which seems to be in conflict with much of the wisdom of the Old Testament Proverbs – after a closer look I believe the second half of this verse clarifies it's intended meaning – the arguments and pretensions that we are to demolish are 'thoughts' – ideas that take root in our minds, planted there by life in this fallen world. This verse encourages us to develop our critical thinking skills, so we can grapple with the ideas we encounter, and sift them like wheat – literally demolishing anything that acts to hinder our faith. This is truly what it means to "love the Lord with all of your mind" – giving all your thoughts to Him, and seeing which stand true — studying that we might know the truth, and seeking to think more "Christian-ly" about the world in which we live.
Secondly, let's look at a handful of passages from Luke's sequel; the book of Acts 17:2, 17, 18:4, 19 say as follows; "Paul…reasoned with them from the Scriptures", "…he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day…", "Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks", and lastly, "He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews." In every one of these verses, Paul is recorded as not giving just a simplistic Gospel message followed by an alter-call. Instead Paul put great time and effort into REASONING with non-believers. In Athens, in fact, he even uses a local "alter to an unknown god" to make a case for the truth of the Christian God. Another significant thing to note, however, is the centrality of the Bible to good apologetics; Paul didn't just use fancy philosophy to convince people of the truth of Christ, but "he reasoned from the Scriptures." It is important to remember that, even in apologetics, the Scriptures are central to what we do – if it is indeed true that "the word does not return void", then we'd be foolish to begin elsewhere. Often, one of the things that leads us to doubt is that we are not in the Scriptures regularly, and when we are there, we do it merely as a chore – not expecting to meet God within its pages.
If God requires of us as believers to love Him with all of our "heart, mind, soul, and strength", we should recognize the true Gospel appeals to the whole person AS A PERSON – not as merely a 'sales pitch', which is what has too often occurred. Though the Scriptures require of us to "always be prepared to give an answer" (1 Peter 3:15)our intent is not to merely win arguments – even with our own doubts – it is to lead ourselves and others to further see the greatness (and TRUTH) of God, so we can better worship Him, and be better 'worship leaders' (in the broadest sense of the word) to a world that grows continually more skeptical by the minute.
Thinking back to not only my own walk, but looking around at the spiritual walks of so many others, I think of the fire that so many of us had when we first met Jesus, which grows dim as personal tragedy and heartbreak hit, and we let ourselves grow skeptical. How can I expect to be used of God to set a room of worshipers aflame with passion for Him, if I, myself, am not on fire for Him? For that reason – both for my own soul, for other worship leaders with whom I have contact, and for the sake of those I am blessed to lead, I am going to begin a weekly blog entitled "Unbelief: roadblock to true worship", which I hope to publish every Tuesday. I hope that in the process of your mind growing more convinced, that our hearts with grow more passionate, our spiritual lives will flourish, and that the reality of Christ will be undeniable in our lives – which IS worship lived out.
I hope you will go on this journey with me.
So be it.

Very well-thought out and highly accurate post. In many Christians there is often a gap between heart knowledge and head knowledge. It used to be that people needed to get what was in their heads into their hearts (they had the knowledge of Christianity but didn't live it.) I believe now that we need to get what's in people's hearts into their heads (as you mentioned, we have experiences, but we don't have a clue about Theology and therefore have a very hard time reasoning with anybody).
One side note: I think it's healthy to "argue." Not in the sense of being a quarrelsome person as Proverbs warns about, but in the sense of being able to present a valid case, to reason with someone. Argument, in it's simplest form is just discussing two opposing viewpoints rationally. Unfortunately, rationality gets thrown out the window often because all we have to say is, "Well, yeah, I've believed it my whole life, so there!" Which gets us no where.
You are so right about the importance of apologetics and I'm looking forward to reading more of these posts!

[…] First, unbelief. It is impossible to worship God if we don't believe in Him. Shannon from 4whatitsworth has a great article about this. […]
March 24, 2008 at 5:58 pm
OK, I confess – when I saw "apologetics", I'm one of those guys who thought, "on man, I'll skip yet another Shannon blog that makes my head hurt w/ knowledge and facts and stuff". You see, I'm that guy your commentor is talking about – my heart is full of God, and in my head, I do know the Word … but when it comes to reasoning and laying it out to non-believers, I just don't get into that at all … it's never interested me. In a very simple-minded way, I think "I believe this way because … well … because … I just know it's right in my heart" ….
"The Spirit bears witness" comes to mind .. yet, I realize is a total cop out from having to be prepared to give answers.
The thought of "enjoying" apologetics or the exahustive, night-long discussions doesn't move me at all … yet, at the same time, I'm convicted with the post … yep, I read it all – word for word .. it was excellent, and I am hungered to be a better student of God's Word so that I'm prepared to give an answer.
Thanks for the challenge – I commit to read these posts … even when my simple-mind says "blah, blah, blah" .. hahahahah! (don't take that personal, bro … I mean, this stuff is great, I'm just admitting that I've never been drawn to apologetics!) … you are swaying me to read and learn, though!
March 24, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Thanks man … that's why I enjoyed the setup so much .. it actually convinced me that there is a scriptural REASON for it … in the past, I've always just written it off to a certain type of temperament/personality that liked logic … which is typically not the mold I'm created from.

TOKYO—Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda on Monday acknowledged the downsides of his negative-interest-rate policy, suggesting caution about further reductions in rates.
Mr. Kuroda, speaking at a seminar in Tokyo, said negative rates particularly hit the profits of financial institutions while low long-term yields hurt some other businesses by forcing them to put aside more money for long-term pension obligations.
The central bank must consider "that such developments can affect people's confidence by causing concerns over the sustainability of the financial function in a broad sense, thereby negatively affecting economic activity," Mr. Kuroda said.
However, Mr. Kuroda also ruled out a retreat on the monetary easing he has carried out for more than three years. "A reduction in the level of monetary policy accommodation, which is being called for by some market participants, will not be considered" in a policy review now under way, he said.
Markets reacted relatively calmly to the speech, with the yen rising slightly against the dollar on the perception that Mr. Kuroda was likely to hold off from further rate reductions. The Nikkei Stock Average held on to the morning's gains and was up about 1%.

I NEED This Bullet-stopping African Charm necklace…oh wait…it doesn't work
(Africa…of course)–It was a sad end for Yisa Anifowose, the leader of the Odua People's Congress, OPC, at Shasha, Akowonjo, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, when his friend, John Taju, shot him dead while testing the efficacy of his newly acquired bullet-proof charm. The charm could not prevent bullets from penetrating into his body as he reportedly boasted before he was shot. He slumped and died as a result of the injury he sustained during the shooting. His corpse has been deposited at Igando General Hospital, P.M.NEWS for autopsy. The late Anifowose was married and had six children. Anifowose, 54, popularly called Baba Kazeem, was shot in the chest by his friend and member of OPC, Taju, a one-eyed man. The suspect has been arrested.
Its been a life long goal of mine never to go to Africa. Civil wars on the reg, AIDS on the reg, malaria on the reg, soccer on the reg, wild animals on the reg, famine on the reg…just not my idea of a good time. But after reading this story, I feel like I should move there and make a quick billion selling charms. I mean this guy Yisa Anifowose is an elected official and was completely sold that his charm made him bullet proof. Too bad his bullet proof charm's only kryptonite was bullets. So if this guy is arguably the smartest guy in his village, who can't I sell fake charms to? "Bro, these beads keep sharks out of the rain forest? How do you know it works? Well…you don't see any sharks in the rain forest do you? I'll sell it to you for the rights to your oil pipe lines and eight elephants" Then boom…I am a billionaire and I have eight fucking elephants. How cool would that be? I'd just fleece the entire country, then move back to America.
PS: How about the nerve of this dude's wife? You want the killer of your husband brought to justice? The article said he was begging someone to shoot him and his bullet proof charm. What did he do wrong? He was just following directions.

Bustard's always favored bright, even loud, clothing and somehow manages to explore uncharted sartorial territory with great style and aplomb. His classmates tell him he's the only person who could get away with such outrageous dress.
"I have an attitude about life," Bustard says. "I could care less about what people think. I know my own style, I know what I like and that's what I wear."

I wasn't exactly planning on buying E a new car seat today (or having it be the only photo I took) but there you go.
I was going to get a different one at Target with a 20% off coupon yesterday but it wasn't in stock anywhere closer than Massachusetts and…yeah, no. Then I realized Babies R Us is doing their trade in thing, so I ditched H's old seat with them in exchange for 25% off this one for E and he'll take her old one. Woohoo!

With your excellent eyes you'll have noticed that Day 7 has been omitted. We took a rest day in Wellington and there isn't much to say about it except that it was nice and we ate enough for around twelve boys.
We tootled off the next morning into the drizzle and a strong nor-west wind with Thomas Duppy and Geoffrey Notman, hugging the hills for warmth. We took a little detour to see Mike at Bike Hutt and update him as to our progress. He gave Geoffrey a coffee and Geoffrey enjoyed this.
Duppy retired for the day, citing that he was "as broke as s**t" and needed to work, so the remainder of our little group pushed through the rain for the Rimutaka rail trail. A gentle wee climb saw us to the summit for photos and a goodbye to Geoffrey before we plunged into the 600m long tunnel.
In our enthusiasm we decided to try and ride it without lights. I would compare this to trying to ride through space towards a distant star, except that there are invisible stone walls to crash into (which I did), an uneven ground surface, and Tom: somewhere. We emerged from our vivid hallucinations blinking and traumatised and begun our descent to the Wairarapa, Tom kicking out his feet like an old man as he skided away down the gravel track.
Pies in Featherston, Icecreams in Greytown, and a pair of babes in Carterton were all features of note. The babes even held a sign with our names on it, and a bag of candy for our constitutions. Thank you babes, we do it for you. We entered Masterton with our faculities intact and plotted our next move, which happened to be another 95km of Route 52…
Route 52, however, is quiet and beautiful, with smooth, rolling hills and excellent riding surface. Our moods ranged from upbeat to erratic based on the small candies I was developing a dependence on and I yammered non-stop for almost five hours. The views were long and peaceful and at 60kms we were treated to the sight of two small fallow deer by the road side who stopped and regarded us for a minute before hopping away into the bushes.
Eventually we ran into Tim, who was parked beside Glenross Lodge Backpackers, a side operation run by farmers Pauline and George just west of Pongaroa. Pauline had been impressed by what we were doing and as a result had offered us lodgings free-of-charge, as well as donating eggs and meat to the guts cause. We accepted gratefully and would like to recommend their place to anyone fortunate enough to be travelling along Route 52. While everybody we met in this region was friendly and helpful, Pauline and George really went the extra mile for us and their hostel is well equiped and cozy.
We capped off 190kms for the day and had taken a decent bite out of the North Island, putting us halfway along the LONZ route as a whole.
A beautiful sunset could only be matched by Tom's radiance and we slept very heavily that night.
