samsung/gdisk/uefi booting anxiety
I'm in a similar situation to rkelsen: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...2/#post4888222 but with some differences.
I've acquired a samsung hybrid ultrabook/tablet (XE700T1C-A02AU, the Australian build of the so-called smart pc pro), with win8 pre-installed...of course. My original plan was to keep win8 there (at least for the time being) but dual-boot it with 32-bit slackware.
I shrunk the win8 partition, created a new partition for slackware and a separate one for swap, all from inside win8.
Next I looked into booting the install disk. Under the advanced boot settings in the uefi setup there are 3 choices: uefi only, csm (compatability support module, i.e. legacy) only or both.
Choosing ``both uefi and csm'' (also works under csm-only of course), I was able to boot up the install disk, after changing the boot order priority. I used mkswap, ran setup and managed to perform all of the installation properly except lilo (I'd seen warnings about it at slackdocs) and so created a USB boot stick.
Now it boots and works fine, but I am dependent on the bootstick. It boots under csm/legacy, not uefi. If I leave the boot setup at ``uefi and csm'' I have to have the bootstick in there or win8 boots *and* the boot setup forgets that setting. If I set it to ``csm only'' and I forget to insert the bootstick, it just opens up the uefi setup menu (reminding me to insert the bootstick and reboot). This is fine so long as I don't want to boot win8, but it is still far from ideal.
If I were happy to get slackware to boot with uefi, the info in some earlier posts would probably get me out of trouble. However as Pat noted:
So it would seem I should be booting under csm, i.e. convert the disk from GPT to MBR. It is not clear (to me at least) how to implement this. There is some good general info at rodsbooks.com/gdisk/mbr2gpt.html#gpt2mbr but it is still a bit unclear what I need to do in my situation. I would like to keep the win8 there if I can (there is a samsung win8 app that does mathematical handwriting recognition!!...no open source version exists AFAIK). Unfortunately, it seems I can't make a ``recovery disk''; there are some hidden and recovery partitions on the disk which need to stay there, presumably under GPT, for the ``power-up-with-volume-up-pressed'' recovery procedure to work. I don't know enough about it but I think that even if I use win8 to create a backup or even a factory image, if I wipe the disk clean there may be no (easy) way to recover my (samsung-specific, with custom e.g wacom tweaks) win8. I could perhaps keep the hidden/recovery partitions there even if I convert from GPT to MGR, although I don't know how exactly (and maybe this is pointless anyway?).
As far as I can tell, I should use gdisk (from inside slackware, as root) to change the disk from GPT to MBR, using the `r' command to take me to the recovery/transformation menu. Then I can either use `g' to convert it to MBR, or maybe even `h' to create a hybrid GPT/MBR disk, although this looks *way* beyond my comfort zone. Since there are more than 4 partitions, some will be made logical so long as there is an empty sector (or something) at the beginning of the partition. So using `g' may mean I lose some of these. I can perhaps keep them all using `h'. I don't know.
I am suitably unsure that I thought I would try to ask someone who actually knows what they are doing before I blunder in and possibly ruin everything. My apologies if I have omitted any vital info on this, my first LQ post.
Thanks in advance,
I don't think there's going to be any way to convert from GPT to MBR without wiping the disk of all data, and I also think that you really don't want to do that anyway. I'd suggest waiting until the next kernels come along in -current since those will be Samsung UEFI safe, and then trying to use those along with elilo. If that works, you can look into a boot manager like rEFIt or rEFInd for dual booting.
Thanks Pat for the quick reply. I'll wait for those new kernels and give elilo a go. In the meantime I'll try and read up a little more on (u)efi booting.
Try to create Windows recovery media (DVD/USB).
I know from restoring Windows 7 from an Acer system that 3 disk partitions are created/populated including the recovery partition, the boot partition and the main c: drive partition.
Hopefully Windows 8 recovery will also restore all the original disk partitions.
Maybe check the Samsung website/forums for details?
And be sure to backup any other data/programs that you created/installed as well.
I've since managed to create a ``factory image boot disk'' on a usb stick. However it is not clear if that will work or not if the disk is totally wiped.
When shipped it has 5 partitions:
1. windows RE (recovery environment?) (499MB)
2. EFI system partition (300MB)
3. Installed Windows system (the rest)
4. Samsung Recovery 1 (12 GB)
5. Samsung Recovery 2 (1 GB)
When I boot the factory image USB (with the disk still intact of course) it goes into the Recovery program as it should. I'm just not sure if this needs any of those other original partitions to be there for it to do so.
You're right though, this is not a slackware question now, rather a samsung (maybe also uefi?) one. I'll check out some other forums, although straight googling was not very fruitful.
Can I have your image backup? I have make backup to mine but only for partition and don't work any more wen I restore it. Now I stuck with Ubuntu and don't work as I want.
Please share that image. Thank you.

Longing; Proposal; Healing Touch; Together
Drawn today, from life.
All on black pastel paper (12"x16").
Together is pastel and graphite; the others are pastel.

You have so many different styles. I'm so taken with man, upper left.ReplyDelete
I think good paintings/drawings are like good photos, you have to have great subject matter, found or created. He's terrific, such a face.ReplyDelete
all are good, you have your own style, the first for me is superbReplyDelete
Thanks, all.ReplyDelete
Paula, the model is terrific; has an amazing face.
It's interesting that everyone sees a male. (Color of drawing; strength of profile, neck and adam's apple?) These are drawings of two female models.
Your class must be well funded...two models? we never got that on the state school level.ReplyDelete
The upper right portrait. Something about it reminds me of native american art. I can't put a finger on it, but it's the right balance between the minimal and the somber.
The man looks like my friend Chris Werner who, incidentally, teaches figure drawing at Otis
You are blogging fast and furious. I'm missing posts
PA, thanks for visiting. I'm happy to hear from you.ReplyDelete
By the way, these are from local drawing meet ups or groups. I've just been uncharacteristically restrained in sticking to one support and one primary medium. As I do more unpacking and set up a place to work of my own, expect more media/supports to show up.
For the drawings this time, there really were two models. We had to pay double to fund it.
All the other two model drawings I've posted recently were done with one model, which you've probably already figured out.
The "two-ness" in these seems more important. Wish I'd said that before I read the comments . . . but I THINK I'd have thought it anyway.ReplyDelete
Certainly as a group, these are my favorite since coming here. I might even say that about each one individually, though I'm less certain about that--the women in blue were/are awfully nice.
Of course, there's "nice" and there's "dramatic," and I might see more of the latter in this group.
FYI, I too see a male in #1.ReplyDelete
And now that I look again, the two individuals seems at least as powerful and the two pairs.
You're making me think. Stop it.
By the way, I can't believe how MANY of these you come up with in a day. Do visual artists have garages full of their work? How does that work, the issue of sheer volume, compared to writers, or sculptors, or painters?
YOu are a very talented lady! Glad you visited my blog today so I got a chance to find yours!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Kate, and welcome. Your blogs are a pleasure.ReplyDelete
Banjo, thanks. To answer your question, yes. If you are producing large volumes of anything, then you have a large volume of that thing. Prolific writers and writers who pen multiple drafts used to have that volume problem, I would imagine. Now, with computer, storage is much less of an issue, I suspect.
For works on paper, I can store a lot in relatively little space, as long as it isn't framed. Think of the volume of a sketchbook. Much bulkier, though less fragile, are works on canvas or board.
Part of the reason I photograph some of my work is to take advantage of the storage capacity available on a hard drive. It's not the same as the thing itself, but still . . . .
And work piles up. Ideally, the work is selling and going out to others.
Interesting. Thank you. And have I mentioned that it's always struck me how an artist really has to part with the work once it's sold? To this word person, that sounds like giving away a child. (Faulkner said, about editing out your own flawed phrasing, "Kill your darlings." Same idea. But you guys REALLY have to.).ReplyDelete

England manager Steve McClaren said he would take his time to reflect on goalkeeper Paul Robinson's error before deciding whether to drop him.
The Tottenham Hotspur keeper was at fault for Germany's equalizer at Wembley on Wednesday as England lost 2-1 to their old rivals.
It is not the first time Robinson has blundered on international duty, costing his side a goal.
But McClaren said he would not be rushed into any hasty decisions on whether to axe Robinson after three years as England's first-choice goalkeeper.
"I can't say anything at the moment who'll be in the team because in three weeks we might have more injuries than what we've got at the present moment," a tight-lipped McClaren said after the defeat.
"Let's get two weeks out the way, let's name a squad and see where we are. I haven't had a real good chance to study it and to look at it in detail," he said of Robinson's error. "I'm disappointed to have conceded that goal. There may have been a mistake but there were two or three mistakes before that which we shouldn't have allowed, so I'm disappointed with the goals overall."
"With performances you have to reflect on them and then make decisions later on," he said on Robinson's future.
Portsmouth keeper David James was brought back in from the cold, making his first England appearance for two years in a pre-planned halftime substitution, three years on since Robinson dislodged him as first choice.
England, seeking to reach the UEFA 2008 European Championships, are fourth in qualifying Group E. They face Israel on Sept. 8 and Russia on Sept. 12 in a crucial double-header at Wembley which England cannot afford to get wrong.
McClaren said it was not the time to state publicly "anything about the team in the future."
The former Middlesbrough boss predicted Michael Owen would be back to full fitness for next month's matches.
The striker had played just 27 minutes for Newcastle this season before his hour-long run-out against Germany.
"For Michael Owen that was his first start and against Germany at Wembley is a tough match to come into. In two or three weeks with games under his belt he will be sharper," McClaren said. "That was an ideal game for us. It was a tough game, it was a hard game physically. For some of our players it was their fourth game in 10 days."
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard put England ahead in the ninth minute but Robinson's weak clearance gifted Schalke striker Kevin Kuranyi an equalizer in the 26th minute.
Schalke left-back Christian Pander, making his Germany debut, scored the winner in the 40th minute, blasting a superb shot past Robinson from distance.
Lampard said the England squad had to avoid a doom-and-gloom outlook.
"We're disappointed to lose the game. But we've got two weeks and if we want to think negative and let our heads go down it's not going to help anyone," he said.
Meanwhile, Germany coach Joachim Loew was thrilled after his side became the first to beat England at the new Wembley stadium. They also ended England's days at the old Wembley with a 1-0 win in 2000.
"There are very few places in the world where winning is such a nice experience," he said. "For the first 20 minutes we showed too much respect to England, but the equalizer was a big help and we started to play with much more courage and in the end we dominated the game."

Utah GOP Bans Mike Ridgway and Sets a Bad Precedent
This weekend, the Utah GOP decided to effectively ban "troublemaker" Mike Ridgway from the party entirely. This comes after a long line of public intra-party fights, nasty name-calling, and legal wrangling. His detractors accuse him of "bad behavior" including "intimidation" and "threats", but without citing much of anything in the way of specific incidences. Ridgway portrays it as a fight against a corrupt "good old boys" network that won't follow its own rules and has no problems using threats and intimidation of its own. No matter how you feel about the parties involved, though, this whole mess stinks to high heaven.
Let's bear in mind how this became messy in the first place. A number of years ago, Ridgway managed to get into some arguments concerning following party rules, something the leadership apparently wasn't doing. In the process, he ended up crossing infamous bully Mark Towner, at the time a party insider who all too often ended up embarrassing those he associated with by his own bad behavior. (And Mark, don't email me any more empty legal threats about this like you did the last time. You're a public figure, so try using that thick skin you always claim to have, eh?) Towner was the one really leading the anti-Ridgway charge, likely as a way to curry favor with the party leadership. You may recall that Steve Turley did the same thing not too long ago.
At any rate, Towner managed to get a judge who's friends with his wife to issue a restraining order barring Ridgway from being anywhere he or his wife happened to be, including any party functions. In addition to this, the party had Ridgway arrested for showing up to a party meeting (which I understand Towner wasn't even at), but SLC DA Sim Gill couldn't find any charges to press against him. The real irony here is that Towner, for all his maneuvering, ended up leaving the Republican Party and even sought to be Scott McCoy's replacement. (If you want a good laugh, watch him trashing on vouchers despite having been deeply entrenched on the pro-voucher side.) Why is the GOP leadership so willing to continue Towner's personal vendetta with Ridgway long after he has both left and trashed the party?
My take is that they are so invested in being anti-Ridgway that they can't back down now or risk admitting that they goofed up big time. Mike wasn't always as sharp-tongued and insistent as he is today, and I think we can blame the bad treatment he received at the hands of the party he was trying to fix. Hey Utah GOP? You created this mess, and you've picked a heck of a way to deal with it. If he's an "uncivil jerk", an "intimidator", or a "harasser", it's because you forced his hand. You can only beat someone so much before they'll lash out.
So other than a sense of injustice at how the party system can grind people up and spit them out, why should you care? Consider that the GOP (and to a lesser extent, the Democrats) are experiencing an insurgency of sorts as party reformers make attempts at seizing control and changing the direction of the party. All it takes is for another Towner-like bully to label you a "troublemaker" and you're persona non grata. Could people like Connor Boyack or Claudia Wright be persecuted and demonized by their chosen party simply for demanding that the party get better? If the way the GOP treats Ridgway is any indication, I'm betting on it.

In defiance against attempts at censorship, Students for Justice in Palestine activists at Pitzer College in Claremont California will erect a mock Apartheid Wall to educate their campus about the Israeli occupation and how Israeli policies confiscate Palestinian land and separate Palestinian families and communities.
Here is their press release explaining the school's attempt to censor SJP's freedom of speech:
Pitzer Students for Justice in Palestine to Display Mock Israeli Apartheid Wall Despite Campus Attempts to Censor Its Speech
Claremont, CA — On Tuesday, March 31st, Pitzer Students for Justice in Palestine will display a mock Israeli apartheid wall on campus to raise awareness about Palestinian suffering and the realities of the Israeli occupation, as well as to stimulate conversation around necessary changes in global and domestic human rights policy. SJP is continuing with this demonstration despite attempts by the administration to censor free speech.
SJP Member Dan Solomon explains, "Pitzer College prides itself on 'social responsibility', 'interdisciplinary learning', and 'student engagement' so we hope that the administration will not interfere with our attempt to display those values in our political demonstration. We intend to educate our campus about the Israeli apartheid wall and to build the movement pressuring Israel to respect basic human rights."
SJP is dismayed at apparent attempts by Pitzer College to stop the display of the wall. When a group of SJP members met with the Pitzer Dean of Students about their plan to display the apartheid wall, the Dean told them he was concerned someone may attempt to damage the wall or "burn it down." He told them that someone would inevitably submit a formal complaint about the wall being 'discriminatory.' He also told SJP they would need approval from the Campus Aesthetics Committee. SJP's proposal was rejected without formal explanation.
On Friday March 27, Pitzer warned SJP that their plans to proceed with the mock wall would be in blatant defiance of College policy. This is despite the Campus Demonstration's policy statementthat Pitzer "respects the rights of free speech and peaceful assembly and supports their exercise."
"We hope Pitzer College thinks twice before violating its own policies to censor SJP's advocacy for Palestinian rights," said Liz Jackson, staff attorney with Palestine Solidarity Legal Support, whowrote to Pitzer officials Monday. "As it should, Pitzer claims to embrace a compelling interest in unfettered inquiry and the collective search for knowledge. Under California law, there can be no 'Palestine exception' to this policy. The accusation that displaying a mock Israeli apartheid wall would target Jewish students is an attempt to divert the conversation away from the human rights policy issues SJP is attempting to raise; SJP's activity targets the Israeli state, not any individual. In response to recent incidents of deplorable anti-Semitic yik yak comments on campus, SJP emphasizes, "As a group advocating for equality, universal human rights, and collective liberation, SJP strongly condemns any form of oppression on the basis of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, national origin, or disability," explains Solomon, "We strongly condemn any form of anti-Semitism on campus."
Motivated by the same opposition to racism, SJP will display the mock Israeli apartheid wall, in the hopes of educating the Pitzer campus about the Israeli system of race-based separation and subjugation of Palestinians. "If you agree with SJP, and the International Court of Justice, that an apartheid wall violates basic human rights, we invite you to join Pitzer SJP in dismantling the wall at the end the day," said Solomon.

The fallout from the turmoil at Canadian smartphone maker BlackBerry was today felt as far away as Edinburgh, where Wolfson Microelectronics is based.
The microchip designer slumped 27½, or 15.8pc, to 147p after the group said it expected to report fourth-quarter revenues of between $40m (£24.7m) and $50m, far less than analysts had expected. Nick James at Numis Securities, for example, had forecast three-month revenues of $57.5m.
Wolfson said that one of the main reasons for the miss was "the cancellation of product programmes at a major customer following a strategic review of its business". That customer, according to analysts at brokers including Numis and Citigroup, was likely to have been BlackBerry.
Once a major player in the smartphone market, the appeal of the technology company's products has waned significantly in recent years.
Last month, after revealing in August that it was exploring "strategic alternatives to enhance value", BlackBerry tentatively agreed to be bought by a consortium led by one of its investors, Fairfax Financial, in a $4.7bn deal. BlackBerry also released its second quarter results in September, which demonstrated the challenges it faces: the company reported revenue of $1.57bn, well short of the $3.03bn predicted by analysts.
Political developments in Italy, and a lack of a resolution to the partial government shutdown in the US, meant it was a volatile day for the FTSE 100. The benchmark index fell as much as 1.1pc in early trade, only to claw back some ground later in the session when the Italian prime minister survived a confidence vote. Nevertheless, amid nervousness over America's second day of shutdown, London's leading index finished 22.51 points lower at 6,437.5, a 0.4pc fall.
Those companies at risk of losing business from the US closure were under pressure. Among them was technology conglomerate Smiths Group, off 37p to £13.82. RBC Capital Markets analyst Andrew Carter said in a note published late on Tuesday that Smiths' medical business may be hurt by unpaid leave taken by staff at the US Health & Human Services Agency, because their absence could affect the winter flu jab programme.
Weir Group, a maker of pumps used in the oil, gas and mining industry, may also be hit by disruption to the Environmental Protection Agency, Mr Carter said. Weir slid 20.2p to £23.06, accounting for the fact the company was trading ex-dividend.
Meanwhile, Ben Bourne at Liberum Capital noted that the US government closure was "clearly unhelpful" for defence equipment group Chemring, which makes flares and munitions and is a short-cycle business, meaning there is a narrow time frame between orders and deliveries. Chemring closed 8.9 cheaper at 295½p.
Elsewhere among the fallers, Tesco slumped as much as 4.7pc in the wake of disappointing half-year results. However, the shares staged a partial recovery to close down 1.1, or 0.3pc, at 358p, with one dealer suggesting the early drop had been overdone. Following its own second quarter update, rival J Sainsbury shed 4.9 to 385.3p.
Homewares retailer Dunelm slid 46 to 880p after disclosing that trading between the end of June and September had been "volatile", hit by Britain's uncharacteristically fine weather.
Domino's Pizza Group moved in the other direction and delivered a rise of 21½ to 610½p following an encouraging trading statement covering its third quarter.
Similarly, Electrocomponents, which reported first-half underlying sales growth of about 1pc, advanced 3.2 to 282½p. The electronics distributor pleased by reporting a pick-up in demand towards the end of the second quarter, with 4pc sales growth recorded during September.
Oil exploration group Soco International climbed 17.6 to 415.6p after test results from a well off the coast of Vietnam suggested 200m barrels of oil and gas could be present, surpassing estimates.
Away from company updates, AstraZeneca slipped 21p to £31.90½ on news a court had lifted a temporary injunction that had stopped a South Korean drugmaker, Hanmi, from launching a gastric ulcer medicine in the US that would compete with the British company's Nexium treatment. Panmure Gordon expert Savvas Neophytou said the entry of Hanmi into the market would lead to pricing pressure on what is Astra's second-biggest product.
Analysts drove other movements in the market. Africa-focused oil explorer Ophir Energy slid 13.1 to 318.4p after Nomura cut its rating on the company to "neutral", following a change of analyst at the broker. Barclays received a lift from Societe Generale, which recommended that clients "buy" the shares. The encouraging political developments in Italy also helped the lender, according to Investec analyst Ian Gordon, who said Barclays had the greatest exposure to the country of the UK banks.
The fact that Barclays was nearing the end of its £5.8bn rights issue, the results of which are due on Friday, lent further support today, dealers added.
Indeed, that fund-raising was one of the reasons for the SocGen rating upgrade, as the rights issue has led to "a significant improvement in capital". Barclays ended 2¾ higher at 272.55p.
But news of a fund-raising by Hochschild Mining weighed on the precious metals producer. The mid-capper said it raised £45m from a placing priced at 155p, and Hochschild fell 19½ to the price at which the shares were sold. The miner undertook the transaction to fund a deal to take full control of its assets in Peru.
Finally, Albemarle & Bond shares more than halved in value after the troubled pawnbroker said talks with its biggest investor over a rights issue had collapsed. The company is now in discussions with its banks about how to avoid breaching its debt covenants, news that sent Albemarle plummeting 41, or 59.4pc, 28p.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
There are parenting books we need in order to get through defined moments of child development, like sleep training a baby or potty training a toddler. We cling to those books in our time of need, but when the moment has passed, we are more than happy to hand them down to a new parent and clear a little space on our shelves.
But certain other rare parenting books shed light on problems so fundamental to family life and human experience that we plan to keep them on hand for a long, long time. Siblings Without Rivalry is one of those books.
Everyone knows that the arrival of a new baby in the house is a major event for an older sibling. There are plenty of picture books designed to ease the transition and help the new big brother or sister process his or her complicated feelings. And many wonderful parenting books offer guidance on navigating the first few months of a new family configuration.
But as we get caught up once again in managing the day-to-day, parents often tend to expect that sibling relationships will fall into place and that they will instinctively know how to deal with the normal squabbles and conflicts. After all, most of us grew up with siblings, most people we know have siblings, and everyone seems to manage. What is there to know?
What you will discover in this amazing book, based on in depth research with real families, is two-fold. First, you learn how profoundly parents influence sibling relationships. No longer can you just blame the dumb luck of personality differences. Whether they intend to or not, parents have a huge role in shaping how brother and sisters see each other, and how children see themselves vis-à-vis their siblings. Second, you learn how deeply sibling relationships can affect a person's sense of self and life course. No one who reads this book in its entirety will be thinking solely about his or her own children. It inevitably provokes reflection on one's own siblings, and how our own identities were shaped in relation to theirs.
Yes, this is big stuff. But guess what? Siblings Without Rivalry has also got to be one of the most down to earth, easy to grasp, practical and immediately useful parenting books out there. It has cartoons, for goodness sake! And even if all you ever manage to read are the cartoons, you'll be a better parent for it.
Seriously, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish know what they are talking about, and they know how to help. (These two are also authors of the brilliant, bestselling How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk.) They take us through crucial issues including how to react when siblings voice negative feelings about each other; the perils of comparing siblings or putting them in roles; how being fair doesn't always mean treating children the same; and how to intervene helpfully when brothers and sisters fight.
All of the techniques described here were tested and refined in parent workshops, and real-life family stories as well as those handy cartoons make these ideas easy to apply with your own kids. The book, therefore, will be immediately helpful in bringing a more civil and loving tone to your family life. For the long term, Faber and Mazlish help us think about how to foster cooperative rather than competitive relationships between our children – relationships, we must remember, that will last a lifetime – and, most important of all, how to give them the gift of being valued, not in relation to others, but for their individual selves.
My wife was just talking about this book - though she didn't know it existed. I'm glad to have found exactly what she's looking for.
As a mom of five boys ages 11- 18 months this book looks invaluable. I am definitely going to go buy this book. My boys all get along well, but they're still young. My prayer is for them to be lifelong friends.
I love How to Talk so Kids will listen. I'm going to check this out too. Thanks!

'Love & Hip Hop: New York' Star Tara Wallace Pregnant? Peter Gunz Responds To Baby Rumors
Does Peter Gunz have another baby on the way? Rumors sparked that Peter's ex and "Love & Hip Hop: New York" co-star Tara Wallace was pregnant again, with what would be their fourth child together. However, Peter quickly responded to the rumors saying it's impossible for Tara to get pregnant by him.
According to BET, rumors surfaced that Tara was pregnant again after she was spotted with what some said was a rounder belly. If Tara is pregnant, Peter is already removing himself from the equation. The outlet reported that he posted a screenshot of an article about Tara's supposed pregnancy on Instagram, writing that he literally can't be the father because he got a vasectomy. "No more calls please," he captioned the photo. "Simply not true.. in fact impossible." He later deleted the image from his account.
Peter and Tara welcomed their third child together, a baby boy named Gunner, in February. Peter is also a new dad to his wife Amina Buddafly's little girl, Bronx. In March, Peter confirmed that he had a vasectomy done around the time Amina found out she was pregnant with their second child. "I got the vasectomy right after Amina got pregnant. We didn't know she was pregnant when I got the vasectomy," he explained to VladTV.
During an interview with Bossip this month, Peter admitted that it can be financially tough juggling his young families with Tara and Amina. "I'm sure a lot of us were born and our parents weren't ready for us financially, but you make it work. We're figuring it out," he told the outlet. "Nobody is on welfare. Nobody is starving."
Peter also gave an update on his strained relationship with Amina, telling Bossip that they're still on "good terms" even though they are no longer together. "She's a sweetheart. She calls, and we're good," he said. "It's sad for her, and it's sad for me as well … but you can't have your cake and eat it too so to speak."
Even though Peter denied he fathered another baby with Tara, the former couple were recently spotted hanging out together to celebrate Tara's birthday. A video surfaced on Instagram of Peter singing at Tara's party, and photos popped up of them dancing together.

Raid your stash to make this table mat and matching coasters. Add a personal touch by finishing this project with large, hand-quilted stitches.
Cranberry reds, sage greens, and rose petal pinks combine with a range of neutrals to create an appealing pattern in this simple bed quilt.
Gather up all the polka dot prints you can find, then combine them to make a bright and colorful throw.
Keep fabric swatches for your next quilt project close at hand in a charming "scrap" book. Stash it in your tote bag or your glove box, so it will be on hand on your next trip to a fabrics shop.
A traditional block and a stash of Halloween novelty prints inspired designer Lila Taylor Scott to work some design magic. "I knew that I wanted to use a Log Cabin block, but I changed the size of the dark logs to make the finished project more intriguing and different," Lila says. It also meant the quilt would not be too dark. Lila then set the Log Cabin blocks so that they showcase and frame the pieced quilt center. "Novelty prints are wonderful for this type of quilt," Lila says. "It's like putting a costume on a quilt, and it becomes its own character ... a little trick, a little treat."
Collectors of 1930s reproduction prints will enjoy this wall hanging or small throw featuring the Everything But the Kitchen Sink collection by RJR Fabrics. Use solid white sashing strips, then black-and-white prints in the sashing squares, setting triangles, and border. This provides an unexpected checkerboard look, which is a nice contrast to the soft pastels.
Triangle-squares rotate this way and that to create the overall diamond pattern. A variety of feed sack prints are held together visually by the use of a single solid blue fabric.
Make sure your passion for quilting shows -- even at your desk! Save those bits of fabric and turn them into a customized mouse pad that tells your story.
Using Judie Rothermel's Charleston IV 1850-1865 collection from Marcus Fabrics, quilt tester Laura Boehnke created a quilt in classic pinks and browns that hearkens back to Civil War days. "Churn Dash is such a familiar early quilting pattern," Laura says, "I wanted to reproduce it in vintage colors reminiscent of the quilts our great-great-grandmothers might have made."

Sting Ray reports whale shark sighting at White Sands Beyru and Dhagethi Beyru
After a night over at southern Ari atoll, Dhangithi lagoon, diving resumed the next day morning from Kuda Rah Thila (protected marine area) that ranks as number one dive site around Dhangethi region.
In general a top dive and a great start, visibility remained poor but the fish life amazed every diver.
Whale Shark search day one
The search took off from Dhigurah Beyru and extended to White Sands Beyru (outer reef) and after spending 2 hours search the decision was made to go for the second dive at White Sands Beyru. 10 to 15 minutes into the dive came the mighty whale shark. Seeing whale shark underwater is the most unforgettable dive experience one can have.
Search continued and the day's remaining dive was made at the outer reef.
Whale Sharks search day two
Day two turns out to be another great day. Morning dive was at 5 Rocks, where diver got to see one of the uniquely formed reefs at this region.
Search began from the outer reef of Dhangethi where one was spotted and spent 10 to 15 minutes of snorkeling.
Sting Ray headed to the western side of the atoll and day's second dive was made at Raidhigaa Thila and over night at Raidhigaa lagoon.
Gray reef sharks points
Gray reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) is one of the most common reef sharks in the Maldives. In Ari atoll there are several dive sites where gray reef sharks can be seen. In order to see sharks an ideal current should be present at the dive site.
This week MV Sting Ray included some of the best site such as: Lahmiyaru Gaa Thila, Fish Head, Maaya Thila, Makaru Thila, Rashdoo Madivaru and Voshimas Thila from north Male' atoll.
Out of these top sites the most highlighted ones were Fish Head (Mushimasmigili Thila), Makaru Thila Rasdhoo Madivaru and Voshimas Thila.
On all above dive sites visibility remained fair and the current were idea except for Vishimas Thila where the current was extremely strong.
Crossing over to north Male' atoll
Early morning hammerhead dive was made according to the group's liking which was not to spend more than 10 minutes in the blue water. After 10 minutes in blue dive was continued at the reef including the channel. No hammerhead was sighted.
Sting Ray entered north Male' atoll from Madivaru Kandu and did second dive at Voshimas Thila where many white tip sharks were seen.
Third dive was made pretty late at Lankan Manta Point with mild out going current. Unfortunately no mantas were present at the cleaning station.

The remains of a medieval castle crucial to Anglo-Scottish warfare, superseded by the most complete and breathtakingly impressive bastioned town defences in England, mainly Elizabethan but updated in the 17th and 18th centuries. Surrounding the whole historic town, their entire circuit can be walked.
Read more about the history of the ramparts.
Before You Go
Access: There is disabled access to the ramparts.
How to Find It: The castle is adjacent to Berwick-Upon-Tweed railway station. The ramparts can be accessed at several points - look out for the brown signs around the town.
Parking: There is public car parking around the town, not managed by English Heritage. Charges apply.
Facilities: Berwick Barracks has toilet facilities and a shop selling drinks and snacks.
Please be aware: Sections of the Ramparts include steep unguarded drops.
Plan a Great Day Out
You can walk a complete circuit of the ramparts. Detailed interpretation boards at key points along the walk explain the history and purpose of the defences.
One of the access points onto the Ramparts is at Berwick-Upon-Tweed Barracks. Among the first barracks to be purpose built in England, they now house several historic exhibitions and in the summer host contemporary art installations in the Gymnasium Art Gallery. The Barracks have toilet facilities and a shop selling gifts, snacks and drinks.
Further afield but within a short drive you'll find Norham Castle and Etal Castle.

Academic Online Education Center FAQs
Follow the instructions received from your sales rep regarding how to enter students into the class, but make sure that the information you have for the students is accurate. Please ensure that you know what the students will be entering for themselves on their end. If the information is not identical, a duplicate student account will be created. We recommend that you just create the class and leave the roster alone. When the a student selects Join Class on their side and enters his or her data, it will automatically add the student to the instructor's class roster.
Go to the Academic OEC and select Faculty Center. Select Log In and enter your email address and password. The adopted course will appear in the table. To the right in the red banner, select Add New Class, then input the class info.
Go to the Academic OEC and select Faculty Center. Select Log In and enter your email address and password. Then select View/Edit Students next to the appropriate course.

Enter the Class Code given to you by the Instructor and then enter your school ID. The ID must be the same ID used by the school at which you are taking the course for credit.
2. I was given a class code and told to join the class, but there is no button that allows me to do this.
A: Your instructor should have told you to call in your order; in this scenario, however, you most likely ordered your course online.

The Oceanaire
Skyway Accessible: Yes, and streetside. On the ground floor of the Dorsey-Whitney building on the corner of 6th and Nicollet, the new Oceanaire has access to, finally, the public. After being stuck in the armpit of the Hyatt for so many years, the newly spiffed restaurant seems ready to celebrate. Some of the trappings are a bit too shiny-skin and metallic for my tastes, but it's still a conservative upscale joint that cooks seafood and chops for suits.
In/Out: Sit-down table service.
Deets: Lunch in this building, on this corner, seems like a no-brainer. There are plenty of lawyers and bankers on this end of Nicollet looking for the power lunch spot, and that's who I have seen packing the place at the noon hour. The lunch menu smartly trades on favorites from dinner: the crab-cake club is a nice sandwich version of its popular entrée and can also be ordered as a slider. Though the menu is largely traditional, there are modern touches such as tuna poke with its bright, clean flavors and architectural stacking. Specialty salads, such as the Cobb with grilled shrimp and scallops, are nicely sized for lunch. Make no mistake, you can go big here: There's a blackened marlin with bleu cheese butter, a center-cut filet with shrimp, asparagus, and béarnaise, and even a burger with Louis dressing. If you try to go easy with a simply grilled piece of fish, be prepared for it to run you $25 to $30.

Promoting our Messages: Social Commentary Presentations
Lesson 9 of 9
Objective: SWBAT present information such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning by sharing the message and product of their final social commentary.
Big Idea: Today students will engage as listeners and presenters as we experience the wide variety of social commentaries created for our class.
We will start class with ten minutes of reading time. I will read with the students during this time.
I'm going to try something a little different for our presentations today because I want to grade/monitor my students as they listen as much as I want to monitor my students as they present (SL.9-10.4).
That said, I will have students present their projects to multiple partners, multiple times. To organize this, I will ask half the students to start as presenters and allow the other half of the class to visit as many presentations as they can as listeners. About halfway through the period, I will have these two groups switch roles/places.
Each student will have their own grading/reflection sheet that they will provide to their audience each time they present. As they are presenting, their classmate will take notes and give feedback on their final projects, specifically on their point of view, use of evidence and the strength of their message (SL.9-10.3).
I will allow for five presentation rotations of 5 minutes each with a little bit of transition time in between. I will also encourage students to visit a wide variety of presentations over the course of the time allotted since we will have a wide variety of genres represented.
Here is a sampling of projects:
- Student Social Commentary Performance #1.m4v
- Student Social Commentary Performance #2.m4v
- Student Social Commentary Performance #3.m4v
I will use a generic rubric (based on our district argumentative writing rubric) to grade these both as I listen to their presentation and as I look at them later.
Resources (5)
Once students have had a chance to present their projects to multiple listeners, I will ask them to spend some time reviewing their feedback and reflecting on their projects (W.9-10.10).
I am doing this for a few reasons. First, I want them to have an opportunity to share what their intended message is in case it doesn't come across as strongly as they hope it will. Second, I want them to have one last opportunity to think about their audience and how well their message met the needs of that audience.

Pharmaceutical Packaging Equipment Market by Package Type (Blister, Strip, Bottle, Tube, Aseptic Packaging, Wrapping, Labeling & Serialization), by Product Type (Tablet, Powder, Cream, Syrup, Aseptic Liquid, Aerosol) - Global Forecast to 2020
The global pharmaceutical packaging equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period from 2015 to 2020. The market is poised to reach USD 7.24 billion by 2020 from USD 5.18 billion in 2015. The market is primarily driven by the growth of the generics market, rising need for novel and flexible packaging equipment, growing offshore manufacturing and contract manufacturing of pharmaceutical packaging equipment, and regulatory compliance mandating the replacement of old equipment.
In this report, the pharmaceutical packaging equipment market is segmented on the basis of package type, product type, and region. On the basis of package, the market is segmented into primary packaging, secondary packaging, and labeling and serialization equipment. The primary packaging equipment market is further segmented into aseptic filling and sealing equipment, bottle filling and capping equipment, blister packaging equipment, soft tube filling and sealing machines, sachet packaging equipment, strip packaging equipment, counting equipment, and others. The secondary packaging equipment market is further subsegmented into cartoning equipment, tray-packaging equipment, wrapping equipment, case packaging equipment, and palletizing and de-palletizing equipment. The market, based on product type, is primarily segmented into solid packaging equipment, semi-solid packaging equipment, liquid packaging equipment, and other product packaging equipment.
In 2014, aseptic filling and sealing equipment accounted for the largest share of the primary packaging equipment market. The large share of this segment is majorly attributed to the increasing use of parenteral vials and pre-fillable syringes. The growing demand for biopharmaceutical products has further increased the demand for containers with higher hydrolytic resistance and pH stability, which is also driving the growth of this market segment.
In 2014, North America accounted for the largest share of the global pharmaceutical packaging equipment market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period, owing to rising contract manufacturing and offshoring of pharmaceutical manufacturing to Asia-Pacific markets such as India and China.
Some key players in this market include IMA Industria Macchine Automatiche S.p.A. (Italy), Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen GmbH+ Co. KG (Germany), Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), Körber AG (Germany), Marchesini Group S.p.A. (Italy), Multivac Group (Germany), OPTIMA Packaging Group GmbH (Germany), Romaco Pharmatechnik GmbH (Germany), and Uhlmann Group (Germany).

Looking for furnished room in Naguru/Bukoto/Ntinda (Kampala)
Hi all,
I'm an Australian in my 20's working for a local children's disability organisation through the Australian Red Cross. I'm here for a minimum of a year and I'm looking to house share with other expats in the Bukoto/Naguru/Ntinda area. Staying with a friend until her roommate is back so looking to find something quickly.
Fully furnished room and apartment/house is preferable. I'm a non-smoker, I like dogs and I'm social (enjoy a night out) but not outrageous. I like to cook so a decent kitchen is also on the list.

Kareena Kapoor has come out and said that marriage is not a crime for an actress. Kareena wed Saif Ali Khan in October 2012 and she believes that professional and personal aspects of life shouldn't be mixed.
Kareena was at the FICCI FRAMES where she lit the ceremonial lamp for the three day event.
"If a girl loves someone or gets married, it doesn't mean that people will not love her or her character on-screen. These (films and marriage) are two different aspects and we should not try and club them. Anyways, falling in love or getting married is not a crime," Kareena explains.
Actresses have always acted after marriage. It has just become more aware these days. Back in the days Kareena sites some actresses who acted after marriage…"Waheedaji or Sharmilaji, there were all married and they all acted in films like Daag, Amar Prem and Guide. It has been happening ever since".
There is nothing to stop an actress acting after she gets married and there's nothing to make an actress continue acting. Some like to step down and some like to continue.

BBOG Group Blasts Buhari's Daughter, Hadiza Buhari-Bello, For Raising N3.5m 'With Its Brand Name
According to Thisday, the BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) group has condemned in strong terms what it describes as an attempt to smear its reputation built over the years following information reaching it of an event tagged: 'Official Inauguration and Signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Chibok Girls Endowment Project'.
In reaction to the alleged meeting of BBOG and stakeholders monday in Abuja, where a cheque for N3.5 million was handed over to President Muhammadu Buhari's daughter and President of Africa Support and Empowerment Initiative (AFRISEI), Hadiza Buhari, by the Commandant of Peace Corps, Dickson Akoh, as a paltry contribution to the general welfare and basic needs of the released Chibok Girls, the conveners of BBOG, Aisha Yesufu and Oby Ezekwesili, in a statement said:
"Following repeated enquiries from the media, we stumbled upon information of an event tagged: 'Official inauguration and signing of memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the Chibok Girls Endowment Project' organised by the Peace Corps of Nigeria and Africa Support and Empowerment Initiative with Hadiza Buhari-Bello."

#BringBackOurGirls Urgent disclaimer pic.twitter.com/wV0YW2W6EQ— Aisha Yesufu (@AishaYesufu) October 17, 2016
According to the BBOG leaders, "We are shocked, perplexed and completely dumbfounded to see the bold inscription of our hard-earned name, #BringBackOurGirls, on the event's backdrop. "We state categorically that we are not party to the said event and have absolutely no information of its origin.
"We urge the public to disregard attempts to link our movement to this highly suspicious event."
The statement from the group read further that "after 902 days of painstaking advocacy, it is disheartening and unfortunate to suddenly see attempts, by external actors, using it for selfish purposes". "We have carefully built our reputation as a well-organised and disciplined global movement that is completely self-funded."
|President Muhammadu Buhari's daughter and President of Africa Support and Empowerment Initiative (AFRISEI), Hadiza Buhari
Continuing, the statement said: "Together with our lawyers, Femi Falana & Co., we are considering a response to this attempt to smear our movement. We call on the public and law enforcement agencies to be on the look-out for unscrupulous persons who may already be planning similar nefarious acts to deceive the local and international community."

But when their secrets are revealed, will the truth behind their union scandalize them both or is their love strong enough to break the curse and lead them toward their happily ever after?
Q&A with Janna MacGregor
Hi everyone, I was lucky enough to have Jana do a Q&A with me, so check it out to learn more about Jana and The Bad Luck Bride! – Cyn
1) Tell us about yourself!
First, let me say thank you! I'm delighted to be here at Book Munchies today. Well, let me see. I'm the mother of triplets and live in Kansas City with my very own dashing rogue, and a smug, but not surprisingly, perfect pug. I love baseball, potato chips, and caffeine-coffee in the morning and diet coke in the afternoon. In the evenings, I love a glass of wine-red in the winter and white in the summer.
My first Regency was a Barbara Cartland romance, The Impetuous Duchess. I've been a rabid fan ever since. I love to devour new stories and try to reread my favorite ones every year because they're that good! Much Ado About You by Eloisa James, The Scottish Witch by Cathy Maxwell, The Art of Sinning by Sabrina Jeffries, Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed by Anna Campbell, and The Master of Sin by Maggie Robinson are just a few on my keeper shelf. Every time I open a book, I'm on vacation. It's heaven.
2) What inspired the story for the Bad Luck Bride?
In 2013, I attended a Cherry Adair plotting class at the Kansas City Romantic Times Convention, my very first reader event. Even though I had read romance for years, I'd never attended such a wonderful gathering of like-minded romance lovers. That week started with warm sunshine then the temperature plummeted and it snowed about two inches. For whatever reason during that crazy week, I dreamed up the Cavensham family. I immediately envisioned a loving family who banded together when any member of the family faced some type of obstacle. Since Claire, the heroine of The Bad Luck Bride, was the oldest cousin, it made sense that her story came first.
3) What are favorite and least favorite romance tropes to read (and/or use)?
Great question! I adore marriage of convenience/forced marriage and enemies to lovers tropes. Plus, who doesn't love a beauty and the beast themed story? In all these tropes, the conflict and tension create a delicious chemistry between the couple. Really, I'm game for anything as long as the story moves me.
4) Is there a genre(s) you think you might like to write one of these days?
I actually had outlined a contemporary series based upon a group of lawyers living in Kansas City. The premise consisted of these lawyers trying to get their lives back on track after making career-threatening mistakes. I'm talking expulsion-from-the-state-bar and losing-your-license-to-practice mistakes. Imagine how they'd handle the stress of hitting rock bottom when they meet their soul mates? I'm rubbing my hands together in anticipation.
But for right now, I'm in love with the Regency, and don't believe I'll stray very far from this genre, at least not in the foreseeable future. I just finished the story of Lady Emma Cavensham and Nick St. Mauer, the Earl of Somerton. They were a lovely couple to write, and I look forward to bringing you more of the Cavensham family's stories.
5) Why do you think readers will like/love Alex and Claire? (Tell us a little about them!)
After four failed engagements, Claire Cavensham, the heroine of The Bad Luck Bride, believes she's cursed. At least, that's what the London gossipmongers are saying. When she's publicly humiliated by her fourth fiancé, Alex Hallworth, Marquess of Pembrooke swoops in to rescue Claire like a knight in shining armor with the announcement that he and Claire have agreed to marry. Claire walks away believing he's not serious. But Alex is very serious. He's determined to marry Claire for revenge against her fourth fiancé who Alex believes mistreated his sister. The couple marries without Claire knowing the truth. Both believe they're building a happy marriage. However, when Claire discovers Alex's reasons behind his proposal, the couple has to fight to save their marriage. As they find their way together, both come to realize they must forgive not only others, but themselves if they want a happy ever after.
Claire and Alex's reactions to their circumstances are real, but it's their grace and heartfelt emotion for each other that make this couple so special. I hope the reader roots for them through their individual trials and celebrates with them in their triumphs. Simply put, I hope the reader falls in love with them the way that I did.
6) Last but not least, what is your next read!
Hmm, I'm anxiously awaiting the new Christina Lauren novel, Dating You, Hating You. I'm a huge fan of theirs. I read a lot of contemporary and of course, historical. An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole is next up on my kindle. I can't wait to start it. On my nook, I just finished Kylie Scott's Twist – I'm in love with her Stage Dive and Dive Bar series! Next read on my nook is Laura Florand's Once Upon a Rose.
Win a copy of The Bad Luck Bride by Janna MacGregor! US only (Sorry INT peeps!).

Alex smiled in earnest. "I would never allow you to be humiliated in front ofsociety. I'm trying to help you." Somehow, he had to convince her of that fact, then the idea of marrying him would be much easier to accept.
She blinked rapidly, then turned back to him and, for an instant, appeared startled to see him there. "That's very gallant, my lord. Truly, thank you for the effort. But I must leave."
This night could not end with her escaping, so he tried another tactic. "You need to protect your Wrenwood estate and your wealth from lechers who would feed upon your vulnerability. Not to mention stop that ridiculous curse."
"I have two." She held up two gloved fingers.
"Two? Two what? Curses?" No one at his club had uttered a peep about another curse.
"Estates. I have two estates, Wrenwood and Lockhart." She returned his stare.
Her answer was unexpected, but his business experience had taught him to show nothing. The report from his private investigator had not mentioned additional properties.
Thoughts were percolating if she chose to disclose this information.
A razor of lightning split the sky. She flinched and took a step closer to him, but her reaction had nothing to do with him. It was the storm.
Her gaze darted to the exit of the alcove, then she returned her attention to him.
With a slight shrug of her shoulders, his evening jacket fell into her hands. She offered it to him. "My lord, good night." Outside their hideaway, the voices of a man and a woman floated in the air.
Alex put his hand on her shoulder to prevent her escape. "Will you give me some
assistance? I seem to have lost my valet." He quirked an eyebrow. "Besides, if you leave now, whoever is out there will see us."
She ventured a halfhearted grin and held his jacket in two hands. With a little persistence, he wrestled his way into the evening coat. Her hands smoothed the material across his shoulders and back, causing a pleasant sensation to cascade through him at the slight touch.
Claire took several steps toward the pathway. In a flash, he moved beside her and grasped her elbow. When he brought her close, something flared between them as he gazed into her haunted eyes. Whether the desire to keep her next to him was passion or the need to protect a vulnerable woman made little difference. He pulled her into the shadows and brought his mouth to her ear. "Wait until they pass." The warmth from her skin beckoned.
A flash of lightning lit the gardens and the alcove.
With a gentle hand, he pushed her against the wall and stood to the side so he
blocked her body from view.
A clap of thunder cracked as if the sky were breaking. It rolled into a loud rumble that refused to die.
"Please." Her whisper grew ragged as she struggled for breath. In one fluid motion, she pulled the lapels of his evening coat toward her. She buried her face against his chest and pressed the rest of her body to his, almost as if she sought sanctuary inside.
"Don't leave me." Her voice had weakened, the sound fragile, as if she'd break into a million pieces.
"I won't. I promise." Alex pulled her tight. One hand sank into the soft satin of her skirts while the other slid around the nape of her neck to hold her close to his chest. It was the most natural thing in the world to hold her. Her body fit perfectly against his.
With the slightest movement, she pulled away. Her eyes wildly searched his. For what, he couldn't fathom.
He lowered his mouth until his lips were mere inches from tasting her. Madness had consumed him. All he wanted was to kiss her thoroughly until she forgot her fear—until she forgot everything but him.
Her breath mingled with his, and the slight moan that escaped her was intoxicating. Nothing in his entire life felt as right as this moment. He bent to brush his lips against hers.
"Pembrooke? Have you seen Lady—"
Claire leaned back and released his lapels. Without her warmth, he experienced a sudden loss of equilibrium. He turned with a snarl to greet the intruders.
Immediately, Lord Fredrick Honeycutt and his sister, Lady Sophia, took a step back as their eyes grew round as dinner plates.
The first to recover, Honeycutt announced, "I see you found Lady Claire." He bowed his head slightly, then lowered his voice. "The Duke of Langham is looking for his niece and is directly behind us."
A sense of wariness flooded Alex's mind when Claire's uncle strolled forward and came into sharp focus. As he stood, his feet spread shoulder width apart, the duke's presence commanded everyone's attention. His visage held the hint of a smile, but the two large fists resting by his sides were the real barometer of his mood. "Claire, are you all right?"
The affection in his voice was at odds with the fury flashing in his eyes.

(Home for HIV Infected Children)
"It is not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your Years"
- Abraham Lincoln
The genesis of the concept of MAYA Home was born out of a bitter and sad experience of the Director of Tdh CORE Trust. He had come upon a woman, who appeared to have a severe health problem, together with her child on the roadside and initiated a discussion with her, but she did not respond and went away. The next day he came to know that the woman had passed away and her child was abandoned, so after the necessary procedures were completed, the abandoned child was admitted into one of the Tdh CORE children's homes. However, during a medical check up it was diagnosed that the girl was HIV Positive. From this experience, the Director had a clear vision to establish the MAYA Home for HIV infected children, which reached fruition in February 2003.
India has the third largest number of HIV infected persons in the World. There are many issues which arise including social stigma and problems faced by the HIV infected person in relation to health issues and in many cases, a generally shorter life span. In addition, after the demise of HIV infected parents, often their children are abandoned, sometimes because they too are HIV Positive through their parents.
From its inception in 2003, the MAYA Home in Tiruvannamalai has dedicated itself to providing the best of care and a happy and healthy life to the HIV infected children, both male and female. The home provides the children with a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutritious, tasty and healthy food (fruits, pulses, meat, fish, grains and eggs), which assists the children in fighting the HIV virus. The children are monitored around the clock by a live in professional nurse who provides and administers medication, on the spot treatment where required and who takes them for regular health checks and periodical treatments at the appropriate specialised institutions. In addition, the important elements of hygiene and a clean environment is taken care of by the resident care taker/house mother. To provide the children with entertainment opportunities, the Home has a television, DVD with Home Theatre System, DTH Connection, games, toys, books, trampoline, and they have access to numerous activities, including yoga, dance training, and sports. The Home itself is situated within a green and peaceful environment containing beautiful gardens and a children's playground.
After eleven years of service, around 100 children have been provided with a happy life at MAYA Home. MAYA is now operating three units:
- MAYA Home itself provides for the younger children who are HIV Positive. At present it has 18 female children and seven male children
- MDM Boys Home provides care for 14 older adolescent boys above the age of 14 years.
- CASA RANA Home provides for an integrated life of HIV infected children with normal children, so they are not stigmatised or labelled as a health risk. It caters for adolescent female children. In this Home there is presently four HIV Positive adolescent girls and twenty seven normal healthy girls living together as a family.
"HIV does not make people dangerous to know, so you can shake their hands and give them a hug: Heaven knows they need it".
A recent example of the impact of MAYA Home is found in the story of Karthiga and Vijay who were admitted into MAYA Home on 27 February 2014. Their mother passed away from AIDS on 1 March 2014. Their family history revealed that their mother, Kannammal, came from Tiruvannamalai and after marrying her husband and delivering her daughter, Karthiga, they separated following a family dispute. The mother then met a man in Andhra, who was infected with HIV which he transmitted to her. After he passed away due to AIDS, leaving the family with no income, the mother started begging in front of the Thirupathy temple. Eventually she decided to resettle in her home town and came to Tiruvannamalai 10 days before she passed away. None of her relatives accepted her and the children and she was admitted to hospital for treatment, but did not survive. Thus, the children were homeless and abandoned with no family to take care of them. Without MAYA Home taking them in and providing for them, their future would have been very bleak.

Man stabs woman 18 times, but witnesses cannot be found Featured
Published in Breaking Jamaican and World News Written by claude mills November 04 2016 font size decrease font size increase font size 0
Earlier this week, a man, Wayne Green, accused of killing a woman by stabbing her 18 times had his matter postponed when he appeared in the St Catherine Parish Court.
The investigating officer, Detective Constable Paul Garnet, told the court that the two witnesses in the matter are living overseas and attempts to secure their attendance have proven futile.
Further, when the matter was mentioned, it was revealed that documents from the Passport Immigration and Citizen Agency (PICA) were absent.
As a result, the matter was put off until December 15.
The accused, Greene is charged with the death of Alafia Carney, 38-year-old labourer of Sydenham Villas in St Catherine.
Allegations are that in 2013, Greene visited Carney's home where he allegedly attacked and stabbed her repeatedly after a disagreement.
He reportedly received a wound in the incident which the police claim was self-inflicted.
