VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Jan. 17, 2013) - Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ECR) ("Cartier") announces that a drill program is currently underway on the Benoist property.
The drilling objective is to intersect, at a vertical depth between 400 m and 600 m, the extension of the Pusticamica gold deposit and the extensions of the new gold zone discovered in 2012 (see figure). The work, consisting of 6 drill holes totalling 4,200 m, will be completed in late March 2013.
In 1993, Minnova calculated historical resources for the Pusticamica gold deposit (Murgor Resources press release of January 17, 2012). The set of sections for this deposit illustrate the potential for increasing the volume of mineralization at depth. The new 2012 gold zone is positioned 450 m below the Pusticamica deposit. It consists of high gold grades up to 24.5 g/t Au over 3.0 m, enclosed within a gold-bearing envelope with drilled grades on the order of one gram of gold over intervals of more than 100 m.
"The discovery of the new 2012 gold zone below the Pusticamica gold deposit suggests that the deposit's mineralization continues at depth", commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.
The Benoist property is 65 km northeast of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, 25 km from the Bachelor gold mine in Desmaraisville, and 25 km from the Gonzague-Langlois zinc-copper mine belonging to Nyrstar.

The Religion of the Marketplace
September 1999By Joseph Tussman
Joseph Tussman is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of Obligation and the Body Politic, Government and the Mind, The Burden of Office, and The Beleaguered College.
The "marketplace" is the central image of a new religion, rising out of the ruins of a century marked by devastating war and by a remarkable run of insane rulers and intrusive bureaucracies that have destroyed the faith in politics as capable of producing a just and happy human order. The time is ripe for the emergence of a nonpolitical, an anti-political, salvation creed and, lo! -- it has emerged. It is the Religion of the Marketplace -- universal in its appeal, easily intelligible, and militant, sending out its missionaries, in the guise of agents of the International Monetary Fund, to keep the fainthearted from straying from the new Tao.
The Faith has three basic dogmas: the primacy of desire; the creative and saving energy of competition; and the tolerant inclusiveness of "nonjudgmentalism."

Another I told you so...
This time it's disgraced and indicted Republican former House Representative Tom Delay. He's enjoying his pre-trial time off blogging at the radical conservative extremist blog site Red State. He's rewriting history to his own benefit, claiming, as you've already heard, that the Republicans lost the election, the Democrats did not win it. Repeat the lie enough times and it becomes truth.

Reviewed by Andy Barnes
This is a tough album to keep a perspective about whilst trying to review. Basically, it's a compilation of the praise and worship songs which appeared regularly on Petra's early albums and still feature heavily in their live set. As the individual tracks themselves go, they're good enough. My reservations about this album revolve around the question of why it has been released. There have already been a number of Petra compilations issued and this strikes me of being simply a money making exercise, aimed at the Petra fan who will buy anything with their name on it. It seems to me the label see Petra as a kind of "Cash Cow" and are milking them for all they are worth. Do the band themselves have any control over releases like this? I don't know, but the 'bonus track' on this album is a 'montage' of the choruses from each of the songs which have been 'daisy-chained' together by producer Brian Tankersley, with a fresh guitar track driving it along. What makes me question whether the band themselves are involved with this album is the fact that the guitar track was laid down by Dale Oliver, who wasn't in Petra the last time I checked!!

The Cricketer's Song
12 May 1968
And why, when you pick the paper up,
Do you get those dizzy pains?
Why do you get the sniffles
When it looks like evening rain?
Yes, and why can't you walk so quickly now?
I think the reason's clear -
It's because you've up cricket
For more than thirty years.
And you can't shake off those back-aches -
You drink much less now too.
Not like the bar-room champion
Of nineteen twenty-two.
The baker clips your roses -
You can't, for it appears
You've given away your cricket
For over thirty years.
And why, on Thursday afternoon,
When sitting in your home,
Did you get the familiar, pleasant feel
Of Death in every bone?
And why does everything go black
At noon? Your doctor fears
It's because you've given up cricket
For more than thirty years.

Day Two (Tuesday 12th May): It's All About You.
Cast your hooks and needles aside!
This year you are challenged with one of those tasks that some bloggers can find quite daunting: but there's never a better time then when we're all in it together, so let's shift the focus and turn the attention from the things we make to the things that make us.
I've never been one to delve into my personal life very much. I guess that talking about my projects, the yarn I use and the patterns I like ,is personal to a certain extent. To other knitters just talking about yarn is probably very personal. I've been thinking about this prompt all day in fact. I thought about explaining what I do for a living, but Medical Technology/Clinical Laboratory Technology/Medical Laboratory Science, whatever the heck we're supposed to be calling ourselves now, tends to be rather complex. The simplest explanation is that I analyze blood and body fluids such as urine. I perform complete blood counts, basic metabolic panels, types and screens and urinalysis just to name a few. Lab Tests Online is a great resource for explanations of test names and what they're looking for. Next time you go to the doctor and get some blood work done, think of me. I'm the invisible person testing all the blood you had drawn. It is very rarely glamorous, but I find it extremely interesting. Each tube of blood is a mystery, a puzzle for me to solve. I work with computers and big analyzers with probes, tubing, drains, valves, lots of mechanical stuff. Not everything I do is automated. About 30 percent is still manual. So I work with reagents, stains, microscopes, tubes and slides. I guess you could say my profession is as much art as it is mechanical. It's a lot like knitting when you get right down to it. There are several ways to hold the needles and produce tension, but ultimately a knit stitch is a knit stitch. The art is picking the color yarn, the fiber type or dying it yourself to get the perfect color. Then pairing the yarn with a pattern and vice versa. If you knit a pattern that calls for bulky yarn with fingering, the dimensions probably wont work quite right. Just like if you try to run a CBC through a chemistry analyzer... (What you'll get is a Hemoglobin A1C, which is not a CBC, but is important when monitoring diabetes.)
|I wish this is what I looked like at work.
Apart from being a scientist in real life, I also have a love of science fiction. My love of the shows Stargate and Star Trek should be evident to my regular readers. I'm also a fan of many other shows, the more recent of which have a fantasy overtone. I enjoy reading, again I like science fiction. I also love animals. I grew up on a dairy farm in Northern New York, so my love of animals began very young. Eventually I want to have a small hobby farm of my own. If I have my way it will be filled with fiber producing animals. Realistically I'll probably have a couple rabbits, a goat or two and maybe some ducks. In the mean time, I have three lovely cats to spend my knitting time with.
I like to do outdoor things. But not right now, as the trees are budding and the pollen turns me into a walking sneezing machine. Since we've moved to this new apartment we can have bird feeders. We have three, a normal bird seed feeder, a suet feeder and a hummingbird feeder. I had no idea it could be this fun to just bird watch. On a daily basis there are birds at all three. Yes, we've already had hummingbird sightings! I suppose I'm becoming an old maid. Sitting here knitting while watching my favorite shows and the birds at the feeders... oh well. Boring is fine in my book. Alright enough about me. Who is everyone else?
Tune in tomorrow for another topic.
Until later. Happy Crafting!

The nabe's favorite foodie spot launches a new venture
A large statue of a cow with the Manhattan skyline painted on its side stands outside of 100 Frost Street, in the shadow of the BQE, greeting scores of visitors who have come to celebrate the unofficial grand opening of the Brooklyn Kitchen Labs. When completed—by November 16th—the massive, 7,000-square-foot former warehouse now houses three enormous teaching kitchens, a fully stocked butcher shop called The Meat Hook, featuring organic and locally grown meats expertly sliced by celebrity butcher Tom Mylan, and an expert selection of cook books, ingredients, tools, utensils and more.
The labs—which will function as a one-stop shop for all things foodie—was the brainchild of Mylan and Brooklyn Kitchen owners Harry Rosenblum and Taylor Erikkenen, who sought to create a space and environment to house, host, develop and foster all of their "collective obsessions," as Mylan puts it. In addition to offering several classes each day—from bread making to beer brewing to kombucha to kim chee—taught by instructors from all corners of the foodie sector, the Labs, as its name suggests, aims to be a haven for those interested in learning, trying new things, and most importantly, experimenting with ideas, concepts, recipes, techniques and all else relating to the craft and culture of food and cooking.
"The lab is a blank slate for whatever crazy ideas pop into people's heads—we have the space now to make it happen," Mylan said in reference to how he and the other owners plan to curate the cooking classes that will be offered. In addition to inviting certain instructors and coordinating particular classes—Rosenblum, for example, will teach a pie baking class, while Mylan will continue his famous pig butchering seminar—the owners of the labs are open to suggestions, both from chefs and cooks who wish to teach a class, and patrons who wish to learn something new. Participants can either take a single class, a la carte style, or sign up for a more intensive series of classes.
"Our goal is to be the education center ground zero for the food community in New York City, and I think we can do that," he continued. "We're in this to do something new and interesting. We're always trying to learn and push ourselves, to become better butchers and better business owners, but also to learn from other people. I can't wait to take a pasta class, or a bread making class, when I get a little free time!"
When construction is finished and the classes get underway, the owners of the Labs hope to begin having different types of events at the space, such as lecture series' on relevant topics.
"I'd love to have a meat symposium with butchers from around the country…and have Bill Murray be the moderator. That's one of our dreams."
Because of its size and scope, the Labs truly has the potential to become what Mylan hopes will be "a food dork community center, where people who are trying to do new and different things come together—it's in the spirit of North Brooklyn to do it. It'll be a mix of high and low culture. We'll strive to stay ahead of the curve, always be learning, as just stay weird." And, in the spirit of the neighborhood, the brains behind the Labs are making a concerted effort to incorporate as many neighborhood cooks, chefs and foodie-minded folks into the project as possible.
While the Labs may be designed as a place for patrons to experiment with their wildest food- and cooking-related interests and dreams, the Labs itself is an experiment as well—and there really isn't anything quite like it.
"Because it's a laboratory, it's an experiment in and of itself," Rosenblum said. "Having a butcher shop, a place to get the ingredients, the tools and the education to make something new; a place to ask questions, take classes, look through out-of-print cookbooks for inspiration—it's a place for people to learn and experiment. If someone has an idea for a new bread recipe they want to try, they can come here and we can help them figure out how to make it, give them advice, and even the ingredients."

The United Nations has employed many friends, relatives, and political associates of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad to work on relief operations in Syria, a move that has resulted in more aid being delivered to government-held territories than areas controlled by the opposition, reveal leaked UN documents obtained by The Guardian.
In recent months, some aid groups have accused the UN of being "in hock to the Assad regime, which it denies," reports The Guardian.
Despite the denials, 73 aid groups have suspended their cooperation with the UN's information sharing system in Syria until there is a transparent probe into their concerns that the Assad regime has gained "significant and substantial" influence over the relief effort, it adds.
"The UN says it has been delivering aid to 13.5 million Syrians in difficult and dangerous circumstances, but accepts that it is constrained by the Syrian government, which only allows the organisation to work with certain Damascus-approved partners," notes The Guardian.
The leaked documents show that nearly two-thirds of the emergency health supplies provided for the Syrian population by World Health Organization (WHO), a UN agency, have gone to Assad-allied territory.
"Only 13% of WHO supplies have reached Syria's 'besieged' areas, most of which are controlled by forces opposed to the regime," points out the Guardian.
The UN blames the rebels for the limited reach of its aid.
"Stephen O'Brien, the UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief, said rebel groups had also prevented medical evacuations from reaching besieged eastern Aleppo during the recent pause in fighting," points out The Guardian.
At the very core of the Assad regime is "a movement" that combines "nepotism, socialism, corruption, brutality and courage in about equal measure" to maintain an iron grip on Syria, noted the Independent in 2015, about four years into the ongoing Syrian civil war.
The Assad movement's tentacles appear to have reached well beyond the Syrian government and into the UN relief operations in Syria.
According to The Guardian, the UN maintains that hiring people close to the Assad regime does not pose a threat to the organization's work, noting that the staff needed to reflect "the fabric of Syrian society," notes the newspaper.
"In responses, the UN insisted that it remained impartial and defended the need to work with all parties in the conflict," it adds.
"Family connections are not taken into consideration nor investigated" when hiring UN staff, and the UN did not question prospective workers about their political affiliations, a spokesman for the multinational organization told The Guardian.
Nevertheless, the Syria Campaign, an independent advocacy group, blasted the UN for hiring people close to the Syrian dictator.
It declared that it is "utterly unconscionable that [a UN] agency dedicated to supporting refugees would employ close relatives of Assad's inner circle," notes The Guardian.
The leaked documents revealed that various UN agencies, including the refugee agency UNHCR and the WHO, have hired relatives of high-ranking ministers within the Assad regime
Every UN agency had at least "one person who is a direct relative of a Syrian official," The Guardian learned from one former UN manager, on condition of anonymity.
The UN requested that The Guardian refrain from identifying any individuals on the staff lists to protect their safety.

Australian-born beauty Yvonne Strahovski first warmed our hearts as a CIA agent on the television series Chuck and most recently as Hannah McKay, the serial killer-turned-girlfriend of Dexter Morgan in the hit showtime series Dexter. In 2012 she made her Broadway debut in a revival of Clifford Odets' Golden Boy, for which she won a Theater World Award. This year she's back with a leading role in the SCI-FI thriller I, Frankenstein, adding big screen appeal to an already storybook career.

Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at a molecular scale. This technology is indispensable because many frequent substances have totally different and helpful properties when reduced in size. It guarantees to improve the efficiency of current technologies significantly. Working on the precise velocity of demand (the Takt time) is all that you have to do, there isn't a have to have processes working flat out, they solely have to provide as quick because the customer takes. Automakers could possibly be among the many leaders in deploying AI in free-standing, excessive-reliability environments. However builders should decide learn how to mitigate undesirable side-results.
Pinker begins her article by highlighting how know-how is seen as a cure-all…and let me stress that she isn't fallacious. The factor is, education insurance policies are rife with fast-fixes" which can be imagined to make all our issues disappear. Go speak to any Okay-12 educator in the classroom and ask them their ideas on excessive-stakes testing, No Baby Left Behind, or Frequent Core. I guarantee there will probably be a number of swearing.
When sales velocity slows down, the anticipated response from producers is extra incentives, and elevated incentives are precisely what we received. To illustrate this, let's check out Common Motors. GM had a ninety eight-day provide of automobiles on the end March (2017). Ninety-Eight days may be very high, however GM acknowledged that it is a part of a strategic build in their stock. Even when that is the case, the Malibu had a 124-day provide and the Silverado had a 115-day provide. The response to the day-supply downside in Silverado and Malibu was a really aggressive lease and 20% off MSRP respectively.
I am from india and i would like some particulars about an organization named NSH Corporation. Do they supply salaries and designation what they talked about of their supply letter? Coz many have posted detrimental feedback on their management. So please help me with this subject and it would be very helpful. The success of the award-profitable Honda Freed is the third time this 12 months. Previously, Freed received his Favourite Medium MPV in the arena of Autocar Reader's Selection Award in 2010 and Debut Mannequin of the Year from Frost & Sullivan.
Sir William Lyons founded Swallow Sidecars in 1922, and went on to create a range of 'SS' branded motorbike sidecars and automobiles within the Nineteen Twenties and early Nineteen Thirties. When it came to the launch of the all-new SS one hundred in 1935, Sir William wished a brand new and evocative name for his firm. After asking his advertising agency for strategies, Sir William chose 'Jaguar', and the SS one hundred mannequin became the world's first Jaguar.

Intel Compute Stick (2nd Generation) Review
Back in early 2015 at CES Intel showed us a really cool device that they were really excited about. It was their Compute Stick, which was an entire PC in the form factor of an HDMI stick. It is pretty awesome that with this device you can turn any HDMI display into a computer! The tagline of "Connect. Compute. It's that simple." really fits the Compute Stick perfectly. Intel released the first version of the Compute Stick in 2015 and now it is on its second generation. The second generation makes improvements over the first generation product, inside you have an Intel Atom x5-Z8300 processor (Cherry Trail), 2GB of DDR3L memory, and 32GB of onboard storage. Intel has also added a second USB port (compared to the single port on the 1st generation) and has improved wireless connectivity with 802.11ac wireless and Bluetooth 4.2 with a 2x2 antenna. Let's take the 2nd generation Intel Compute Stick for a spin and see what it can really do!

There is still time to help before the High Holy Days. Many elderly and impoverished Jews are waiting for their food box to be delivered – and more and more requests are still coming in!
Right now The Fellowship has hundreds of staff and volunteers delivering critical care, but we need to hear from you! There is still time to get food boxes to even more needy Jews, but only if you respond right now!
Truly, you can answer the prophet's call to "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people" (Isaiah 40:1).
Helping 250,000 impoverished people observe these sacred 10 days with joy and dignity is, without question, an enormous goal to accomplish.
With your help right now, Jewish families and individuals we might otherwise have to turn away can be blessed with much-needed food and other High Holy Days provisions. Your gift of support will immediately go to make this blessing possible.

is there anyone who can help me to setup a set of books for a chicken (broiler) farm in south africa?
I certainly have people in Pretoria. They charge around R 2000 per day. A good starting point is to do the Accounting Made Easy tutorial. This costs R 250 and is a good step towards getting it done.
I will be in Polokwane early next month.
Hi Phillip
Thanks a lot for you reply. is T5 in any way compatible with Pastel xpress 11?
you see my problem is that we want to switch from pastel to turbocash, is there any way that i do not have to do everything over again?
Hi Petru,
You'll reach a wider audience if you post as 'discussion' instead of 'blog' - I know this site is confusing for firsttime visitors.
Did you get assistance sorted out for your requests? TC5 is not compatible with Pastel as the Database-layouts will differ. There will also be other legal issues.
Pastel should have the ability to export data to a csv-file? I would advise to close off in Pastel at a specific point in time and then start in TC from that point. This would mean setting up TC i.t.o. accounts, creditors and debtors info, and then enter opening balances via journals as at close-date on Pastel. Journals can also be imported into TC from Excel-csv-file should it be necessary.

Data Breaches – The Prevailing View Doesn't Bode Well For The Consumer
I'm sure you're all aware that hacking has become a household name now in this tech age we live in today. Apparently, no one, not even the government is hack proof!
I stumbled upon a WSJ article this week that talks about how executives are now discussing the need to even report any breaches altogether. Yep, you heard me…
Some executives are debating the whole letting the public know if their information has been exposed to a cyberattack. Their argument stems around the fact that not all company documents are rise to the level of being valuable to the point that it needs to be aired out.
On the face of it – I can kinda see the point made here… but
In the same sentence they say that, "credit card numbers may be exposed but never stolen, or stolen but never used." WHAT!? …see this is why I said "but" just a minute ago, because this very approach leaves the doors open to decieving the public!
Their Argument
These execs are saying that going public could expose weaknesses that could be expoited by others. HELLO! That's exactly what needs to be known! Their argument here doesn't hold water.
How can you fix a problem if you don't know where the problem lies? ijs
Reading deeper into this story I find that in a "closed door" meeting of the National Association of Corporate Directors – the question arose about the value of disclosing hacks, against the negative publicity that would stem from the awareness.

Going Public on Data Breaches
Let's also take into account that by these companies going public about their failure to protect our information can (and will more than likely) be used against them in litigation. I say, let the lawsuits reign. Why not?
Am I supposed to suffer because you don't want to spend the necessary capital in the beginning to put into place the fail-safes needed knowing that in this day and age, hackers exist?
The Surprising Numbers
Is there cause for alarm? Well, when you factor in the fact that not every state requires customers to be notified of data thefts leads me to believe that of course alarm is warranted. btw… only 47 states have this mandate.
Why isn't that number 100%?
That's my take on Data Breaches today and there will no doubt be more of them happening on smaller and larger scales now and in the future. The only thing I can suggest is that we all be as careful with our information as possible. Especially when we so freely enter our personal stuff online more and more.

Colorado State-Pueblo to serve as host
DII Outdoor Championships in 2012, 2013 to be hosted in Pueblo
Colorado State -Pueblo will be the host site for the 2012 and 2013 NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The championships will take place May 24-26, 2012, and May 23-25, 2013, at the Neta & Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl in Pueblo.
"Being selected as the host school for the outdoor track and field championships is a huge honor, and I want to thank the NCAA for considering us to host this outstanding event," Athletics Director Joe Folda said. "Our campus, as well as the community of Pueblo, will be gracious hosts to the track athletes, and we're excited to tell the nation about CSU-Pueblo's excellence."
Colorado State-Pueblo track and field coach Chad Perry, who has emerged as one of Colorado's top track meet directors, said the event will allow the university to showcase one of the finest Division II track and field facilities in the nation.
Perry said the championships will show how far the Colorado State-Pueblo program has come since it was resurrected in 2008.
"There's nothing like having a national championship event in your hometown, and it will provide a great opportunity for recruiting and get people in our community excited for track," Perry said.
The track championships will mark the sixth and seventh times for Colorado State-Pueblo to host a national championship. The previous ones were women's basketball (AIAW), 1975; men's tennis, 1975; women's gymnastics (AIAW), 1983; and wrestling, 1994 and 1998.

At the age of 87, Hans Josephsohn is by no means an unknown entity, but he is an artist yet to be discovered. The reason for this circumstance may lie in the fact that his oeuvre stands like a monolith in the artistic developments of his time. He has never once participated in breathless, impetuous fashions, and he would no more keep anxious tabs on market occurrences than he would "package" his work in theoretical fabrications.
»I'm not a painter. Nor a sculptor. Nor a writer. I'm Tarzan in retirement.«
»I'm such a wild person not even John of Nepomuk or God has any influence over me. No one.«
»I don't eat animals, because the animal is like me.«
»I'm a Samurai and my only aim is to annihilate my opponent.«
As the first major museum exhibition in Germany for many years, the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst is showcasing 60 works by Bernard Buffet (1928 – 1999) stretching across six decades of artistic endeavor. The exhibition is thus dedicated to an artist who was once feted as being one of France's most important painters and the legitimate successor of Picasso.
"I'm not a painter. Nor a sculptor. Nor a writer. I'm Tarzan in retirement."
"I'm such a wild person not even John of Nepomuk or God has any influence over me. No one."
"I don't eat animals, because the animal is like me."
"I'm a Samurai and my only aim is to annihilate my opponent."
»And I saw light in the form of a river blazing with radiance.« This is Dante's description of what he perceived as he entered the tenth circle of heaven in paradise. Throughout history, light phenomena have been interpreted as religious visions. What for some is a spiritual accomplishment following hours of seclusion, is explained by others as a physiological reaction following a period of reduced stimulation of the sense of sight.

MUZAFFARABAD – India's National Investigation Agency Wednesday found two 'Pakistani schoolboys' innocent, who were arrested last year for their alleged involvement in Uri attack and released them.
The two school going students named Faisal Hussain Awan and Ahsan Khursheed hailed from Azad Jammu and Kashmir have been given acquited of all charges by the NIA and handed over to the Indian army's 16 Corps to return them to Pakistan, according to an NIA press statement.
The Indian agency said the charges against them could not be substantiated during the probe and there were no linkages between the two Pakistani and the militants killed in Uri attack.
The young men had crossed the border after a dispute with their parents on the issue of their studies, the investigation revealed. They were arrested on September 21, 2016, three days after the Uri attack.
Moreover, the evidence including their statements, technical analysis of their mobile phones and GPS devices, recovered from the possession of slain militants, did not prove their linkage to the attack which left 19 soldiers dead on September 18, 2016.
According to Geo news, the two Pakistani teenagers will be brought to Srinagar and handed over to Baramula police.

When talking about leaders and leadership it's not very long before motivation as a topic arrives in the discussion and when you ask people what they know about motivation, Abraham Maslow and his hierarchy of needs will show up fairly soon. There may be some discussion about whether his name's pronounced "Maslov" or "Masloe", some head scratching about what order the categories come in and possibly some sniggering about whether or not Sex is really a basic physiological need but generally we take it as the basic truth about human motivation. The problem is many cultures do not see the world that way and as we find ourselves in emerging markets some of our truths may need to be challenged or questioned.
The key issue or dimension of culture here is how people view themselves and their role and relative value in society. Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars both use an Individualism v Collectivism dimension in their models of culture. This addresses people's thinking about teams and individuals including which is more important and how to measure achievement.
Maslow was brought up in the USA, a classic Individualist culture. Thus the top of the pyramid is Self Actualisation - you've made it when you have achieved your personal potential and discovered the real you. People from more Collectivist cultures find this strange. What about your contribution to your group, team, tribe or society? Surely that is a higher purpose than this selfish notion of achievement? Even the the lower order Belonging and Safety needs are in service of "me" not "them" - and Esteem is, of course, entirely about me and my value in the eyes of others. The strong US focus on Individualism perhaps explains why team sports are more about groups of individual star performers and why "Show and Tell" doesn't work in a UK classroom - our mothers told us not to show off...and to always say it was the team not me that deserves the prize.
On our leadership programmes we ask leaders to give a two minute presentation entitled "Why should anyone be led by you?". US, UK and other European managers mostly talk about their achievements and why that makes them such a good choice as a leader. I shall always remember the dawning of realisation as the Japanese manager stood and, with head bowed and lowered voice, offered his services to the group for approval....not "the way we do things round here" to paraphrase Deal and Kennedy's definition of culture.
The "Nine Conversations in Leadership" intervention includes a conversation on Community - about the only model I know that does. However we have to be careful that we don't just take that to mean "look after them so I'll get what I want when I need it". The topic has much more to offer and must respect the culture in which it is discussed. The leader's highest achievement in a Collectivist culture is to serve the community and to help people to make their best contribution to the collective good.

Cubs Prospect Notes: Developing Catchers, Jimenez Assignment, Zych, Candelario, More
I can't kick off a set of prospect notes without reminding folks to check out Luke's great work on the BN Top 40 Cubs prospect list here, here, and here. And the two of us will be live streaming tonight at 7:30pm CT/8:30pm ET. So come back here tonight to watch and join in.
- Your must-read of the day is this piece at Baseball America about developing catcher receiving skills, especially framing. The article touches on other organizations, but the focus is very much on the Cubs. There's even a video to watch Cubs catching prospects working on their skills. It's just a great read about the lengths to which the Cubs are going, at an organizational level, to promote framing. There's a bonus, specific bit on Ben Carhart, a converted infielder who started catching almost full-time last year, and has shown – at least in the practices BA observed – an elite receiving ability. If you're looking, then, for a back-up, glove-first catcher to emerge as a surprise in the coming years, keep an eye on Carhart, 25. He's likely to be at High-A Myrtle Beach next year. There's not much in the bat on which to dream, but he takes his walks and doesn't strike out much.
- All kinds of good Cubs prospect stuff here from Ashley Marshall, including expected assignments, and individual notes. It puts just a little more detail on the tweets we saw last time, including the specifics on Eloy Jimenez – the Cubs want him to push for an assignment to full-season South Bend, but it sounds like that's not necessarily the expectation. For an 18-year-old who's played only a little bit of Rookie Ball, some time at short-season Eugene would not be a surprise (or a disappointment in the least).
- Keith Law updated his top 50 prospect rankings, which you can see here. Kris Bryant stays at number one, Addison Russell stays at four, and Jorge Soler stays at fourteen.
- April Fools or not, I wish this was a thing:
BREAKING: Smokies announce new alternate uniform/cap for Sunday home games. http://t.co/3rkz3khl5y pic.twitter.com/09f91uhPkg
— Tennessee Smokies (@smokiesbaseball) April 1, 2015
- Mauricio Rubio was in Arizona, and among his notes at BP is a take on Cubs third base prospect Jeimer Candelario. Here's a snippet: "Candelario shed weight ahead of the 2014 season and came into camp with a lean, athletic look. He struggled in Daytona as he started dropping the shoulder and in essence sacrificed his approach for over-the-fence power, a trait that he took back with him to Kane County once he was demoted. This spring Candelario still has the sleek look, but the line drive inside-out swing is back." So, perhaps we'll see a little less power and a little more average this year. Rubio, in the end, is not super high on Candelario's ability to contribute at third base, though.
- It looks like relief prospect Tony Zych is no longer in the Cubs' organization:
Just want to thank all my teammates, staff, and fans for the last few years in the @Cubs organization.
— Tony Zych (@TAZ_Zych) April 1, 2015
Happy to start my new journey with the @Mariners. Blessed and thankful for the opportunity! Excited for the year to start! #Time2Work
— Tony Zych (@TAZ_Zych) April 1, 2015
- It's not yet clear if Zych was part of a minor trade or if he was simply allowed to join a new organization, but he stalled out at AA the last two years for the Cubs as his strikeout rate plummeted. Zych was with the Cubs earlier in Spring Training over on the minor league side, so I assume we'll see official word of the transaction at some point soon (given the quiet, no, I wouldn't expect this to be part of a larger move). I also assume, since Zych posted a picture on Instagram, that this isn't an April Fools situation, but, le sigh, you never know these days.

Bully (R then PG-13)
"I define bullying as anything that makes someone doubt their self worth." – Kelby
I've been "bullied" a few times in my life. Once in the middle school locker room, once in Current Events class in high school and several times in my early twenties. I put quotes around that word because these were all remote instances. Yes, each of these events frightened me at the time but none were daily occurrences. In middle school, a teacher handled the situation. In high school, the male teacher did nothing because most of the teachers were afraid of the girl causing the trouble. As a young adult I handled the problem myself. No violence was necessary on my part. Just a well-placed threat. I mention all that to say that I understand a teensy tinesy fraction of what this movie discusses. My fear lasted a few hours. A day at the most. I can't even imagine living with that fear on a daily basis.
What does all this have to do with anything? I'm getting to that. I saw the movie Bully last night. It wasn't as violent as I had expected but it wasn't as tame as I wish the world was either. I managed not to cry but during a few scenes it took all I had to not loudly express my disgust (well, that and my great fear of public attention). I realize bullies have been around forever but it seems to be getting worse. Please be advised that I talk quite a bit about what happened in the movie figuring that this may be the only way some of you hear these stories.
Following is the synopsis as submitted by the writers, Cynthia Lowe and Lee Hirsch (also the director): "This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in this country experience. BULLY is the first feature documentary film to show how we've all been affected by bullying, whether we've been victims, perpetrators or stood silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground. BULLY opens on the first day of school. For the more than 13 million kids who'll be bullied this year in the United States, it's a day filled with more anxiety and foreboding than excitement. As the sun rises and school busses across the country overflow with backpacks, brass instruments and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, this is a ride into the unknown. For a lot of kids, the only thing that's certain is that this year, like every other, bullying will be a big part of whatever meets them at their school's front doors. Every school in the U.S. is grappling with bullying-each day more than 160,000 kids across the country are absent because they're afraid of being bullied-but for many districts it's just one more problem that gets swept under the rug. BULLY is a character-driven film. At its heart are those with the most at stake and whose stories each represent a different facet of this crisis. From the first day of school through the last, BULLY will intimately explore the lives of a few of the many courageous people bullying will touch this year."
Bully tells the story of 5 kids who have had to endure daily abuse from their peers and had to watch as the adults who are supposed to protect them looked the other way. Sadly, two of these stories are told by the children's surviving family and friends. The main story is about Alex, a 12-year-old boy who has to deal with daily torment at the bus stop, on the bus and at his school in Sioux City, Iowa. Because of problems at birth he looks different than most "normal" kids. Add to that the fact that he tries so hard to fit in, the other kids find him weird and, as we all know, anything different should be feared, or in this case, ostracized. That was sarcasm folks; not my real opinion. This kid had no one his own age to stand up for him. Not one friend. Kids cursed at him, threatened to kill him, walked up and punched him, slammed his head repeatedly in to the bus seat in front of him and he put up with it every day. Why? What else could he have done?
Another story involves a Kelby, a 16-year-old girl from Tuttle, OK. What? Stuff like that happens in Oklahoma? Ummm…yeah it does. And what happened to her and the reasoning behind it doesn't surprise me at all. You see, this young lady came out as a lesbian while in high school. I love Oklahoma. When I moved overseas I was homesick for it. Despite that fondness, I am quite aware of the fact that we are one of the Good Ol' Boy states, not to mention being the buckle in the Bible belt. This girl did nothing wrong but she was different. In one scene she mentions walking in to class and sitting in the only seat left. As soon as she sat down every student around her moved out of their seats. I'm still curious as to where they went since there weren't other seats available. And what did the teacher do? Nothing. Kelby had to quit the basketball and softball teams because of the bullying and was even run down by boys in a minivan as she was walking back from lunch. Why? Because she likes girls. Oh well, okay then. Again…sarcasm.
Yet another story tells of a Ja'Meya, a 14-year-old girl from Yazoo County, MS who had been pushed so far that she took her mother's loaded gun on to the bus and used it to scare the kids who had bullied her. Not a shot was fired, fortunately. It could have been so much worse. I am in no way, shape or form condoning the fact that she took a gun on a bus but what must her life have been like that she felt the need to put that kind of fear in to other kids? And how much differently would things have turned out if she had been pushed that one little bit further and shot someone? The director doesn't go in to as much detail with her as he does with the others so you just have to take her at her word that it had gotten that bad. A law enforcement officer did come on screen and mentioned that short of being whipped daily there was no amount of bullying that should have pushed her to do what she did. Fabulous!
The 4th and 5th stories were about two boys, Tyler and Ty, who couldn't take it anymore and sought the only escape they could come up with at the time. They ended their lives. The ages of these boys? 17 and 11. E-L-E-V-E-N!!! Not that 17-year-old Tyler's death was less meaningful but 11? What kind of hatred did this boy have to suffer to feel the need to permanently end it? He hadn't even hit the rough years yet. He still had the rest of middle school and high school to go and we all know how incredibly fun that was a good portion of the time. I imagine he pictured 7 more years of the same abuse he'd already been dealing with. Wanna take a guess regarding where he was from? Congratulations, Oklahoma, for being mentioned not once but twice in this documentary. And the 17 year old? He was almost done. He'd made it through most of his pre-college academic career in Murray County, GA. What on earth was he going through that even that goal seemed unattainable?
I said that this was the story of 5 kids but there was one more. Cole attended the same school as Alex and was also bullied. Sadly, his bullying wasn't limited to other students. He received it from the Vice Principal as well. She pulled him out of class to talk to him and when he tried to explain what had happened she told him to try to get along with the bully. And, in another scene in which the students were walking in to the school, she pulled Cole and one of the bullies aside and asked what was going on in the school yard. Cole explained that the boy was calling him names and picking on him. The VP's response? Shake hands and make up. The bully held out his hand but Cole did not. Would you? The VP told Cole that he was the one not making the effort. When Cole finally gave in and shook the boy's hand the VP excused the bully and kept Cole so that she could berate him some more. Earlier in the film a young boy was walking down the hall with an ice pack held to his head. When the VP questioned him he explained that another kid shoved his head against a nail that was sticking out. She looked at the spot, said, "I don't see a hole," and sent him on his way. Finally, when Alex's parents went to speak with her regarding his treatment on the bus she sat there and told them that she has ridden that particular bus and those kids were "good as gold." Are you kidding me? Of course they were! The VP was on the bus! Any time this woman spoke it seemed as if members of the audience were going to come undone. We were all so angry. During the Q and A session after the film someone asked if the VP still had her job. She does! What's even more disturbing is this woman KNEW she was being filmed and this is how she acted. How much worse was she when the cameras weren't rolling?
I know I've spent a lot of time talking about the bullies and the bullied but there is one group of people that should really be singled out. The adults. Where on earth were they? How were your children treated like this day in and day out and you didn't know? Now, that's not a fair question but I know other people are going to ask it. In Kelby's case, her parents knew what was going on. They told her they'd move out of Tuttle to a bigger city where she'd be more likely to fit in. She chose to stay despite the daily obstacles because she didn't want the bullies to win. But, back to my question. Where were the parents? Why didn't they know? Other than a couple scenes in Alex's home, we don't really hear about what the parents did to get their kids to talk to them or IF they even did anything. The VP mentioned above wasn't the only adult I got angry with. Alex's parents didn't thrill me either. Let me take a minute to say that the director was with this family for about a year. There's no way we can know what else went on in that house but in these two scenes the parents were not made to look good. It almost seems as if the bullying was continued at home. At one point the dad told Alex he needs to take care of his problems so that it doesn't trickle down to hurt his siblings. His sister said that it's already affected her and that the kids pick on her because he's weird. The dad didn't say a word in his defense. Come on, man! If children were meant to fight all their own battles we'd be set loose as soon we could walk and feed ourselves to make our own way in the world. But that's not how human life was intended.
What, or more to the point, who, finally got Alex the attention he deserved? The director. Lee Hirsch. The last day Alex was attacked on the best was too much for Lee. Legally he couldn't touch the kids but he had in his possession a means to display to the masses what Alex was going through. He showed the school administrators. He showed Alex's parents. Where would Alex be today if not for Lee's choosing him for this documentary? I can tell you where he isn't. Sioux City, Iowa. His parents got him away from that state. Where did they go? Looks like Oklahoma's going to be mentioned a third time. Yup. That's right. I do get to say something nice about my beloved state. I can't remember if they told during the movie what school he currently attends or if it was brought up during the Q & A so I'm not going to mention it here. I will say that when asked why this school district was chosen, Alex's mom answered, "Any place where people lie to get their kids in to the school district must be a good place." So true.
I realize this "review" has been long but I felt it needed to be said. Because of the rating most kids won't be allowed to see Bully. It was rated R for language – and there is a LOT of it – but it's been lowered to PG-13 with the emphasis that kids under 17 shouldn't be allowed to see it. Excuse me? That's basically the same as keeping it rated R. I was appalled by the cursing and strongly believe that the words could be bleeped out and the point still be made. There is still so much hatred spewing from the kids' mouths that the absence of the F-word won't hurt the message of the film. Alex's mom brought up a good point. She said that if the powers that be keep the rating as R and make a big deal about kids not seeing it, a lot of kids are going to find a way to go anyway. But! Most kids will have to deal with any emotions themselves that this brings up because they know they can't go to their parents with questions if they were forbidden by them to see it in the first place.
I get that many of you won't want your children to see this due to the emotional stress and the language but I encourage you to sit down with them and explain your reasons instead of just telling them they can't go and leaving it at that. More than that, I encourage you to either take your kids to see it or encourage the school system to show it. I don't believe that any child should be allowed to watch this by themselves. I want so badly to say that only children of a certain age should see this but while reading the production notes on the Bully website I discovered that in looking for kids to film they heard about a 9-year-old boy who hung himself in the school nurse's office. Obviously this is affecting young kids as well. I told my sister, Armat, about it and suggested she go watch it first and then decide if PT (her daughter) could handle it. At the very least parents could go to the movie and then sit down with their kids and have a nice, long chat.
For more information on Bully please click here.
I apologize if, at any point, it sounds like I'm telling you how to parent your children. That was not my intent. I just know that I never want PT to have to go through this. On either side of it. I don't believe she would ever bully someone but I bet there are a lot of parents who feel the same way about their kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren. You get the point. I do believe that if something happened to her or her best friend, or anyone in her daily walk in life, something would be said. Thank goodness for that. If you've never met my sister you don't know the avenging force she becomes when her daughter is threatened in any way. And that's how it should be.
P.S. Some of you may be wondering what my parents did when I was picked on. The answer? Not a thing. Why? Because I didn't tell them. What would they have done had they been informed? Please see what I wrote about my sister above. My cousin sometimes says that, "God protects the stupid." In my case, this was so so true.

Tool's music has lots of great qualities, but we all know the bass lines are always the best. Luckily, bassist Justin Chancellor sat down with France's Bassiste Magazine to show how to play the classic track "Aenima."
He also talks about how the beat works to help you feel it out. Time to practice!

What is Mental Illness?
What is Normal?
According to Wikipedia, normal is described as "when someone's behavior conforms to the most common behavior in society".
What is Mental Illness?
The stigma of mental illness in America has coined terms such as "crazy", "losing your marbles" and "the looney bin" to separate those diagnosed with mental illness as "them" being much different from "me". People with diagnosed mental illness look very much the same as you and I. Many successful celebrities have been treated for mental illness and appear "normal" to society. The majority of mental illness is described as a chemical imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain.

The month started out with the temporary closing of Bauhaus on Capitol Hill. I mentioned visiting the cafe with John at the beginning of September. Like so many others, Bauhaus Coffee and Books at Melrose and Pine has had a special place in my heart, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to commune with it a few more times.Word has it Bauhaus will open it's doors at their new location on Capitol Hill in early November. The rest of the month I wandered around either trying to find warm places to sit and paint or find stunning natural phenomenon to photograph to paint from the studio.

Popular website chooses 5nine Manager as the best virtualization management solution
West Palm Beach – 10 January 2017: 5nine Software, a Microsoft Gold Partner and leading global ISV, reports that 5nine Manager – a popular solution for managing and monitoring Microsoft Hyper-V, has been named the winner of the Editor's Choice Award by the prominent website Virtualization Review.
It is important to note that this is not an ordinary award given as a result of voting or selection based on set criteria. The website's editorial staff explains: "Our contributors are experts in the fields of virtualization and cloud computing. They work with and study this stuff on a daily basis, so a product has to be top-notch to make their lists. But note that this isn't a "best of" type of list; it's merely an account of the technologies they rely on to get their jobs done, or maybe products they think are especially cool or noteworthy".
Trevor Pott, a Virtualization expert, system administrator and author, explained his choice, saying that 5nine Manager "makes Hyper-V usable for organizations that don't have the bodies to dedicate specialists to beating Microsoft System Center into shape". Moreover, 5nine Manager is already a rather mature product. It has no flaws and the developer regularly improves and enhances it.
"The editor's choice is not surprising. After all, all of our long years of work are based on solving the problems of Hyper-V users with whom we are in regular contact. The fact that 5nine Manager was chosen by a VMware expert is also easily explained: he found the Hyper-V management tool just as convenient and powerful as vCenter for vSphere. I want to point out that the much anticipated Microsoft Azure Stack was also tested, and a neighboring category was topped by one of the year's most interesting products – NSX from VMware. Thus, Virtualization Review's editors decided to assign our 5nine Manager to the 'major leagues' of IT solutions in 2016," said Jason Judge, CEO of 5nine Software.

About Virtualization Review

Greatest Military Coup Ever Could Now Be Underway on U.S. Soil - http://bit.ly/1Rtnw1T
Post your comment
- Added http://www.freedomreigns.us/ > Doesn't come up. 9CKgps
- Added website mentioned is expired, hmm... anyway, basically the way this argument is set up is to persuade people that there are "GOOD GUYS" with the power to arrest and detain banksters and cabal leaders that built this false fracture monetary system using the "LAWFULL COURT SYSTEM" , that has failed anyone who cant pay for their justice, we are supposed to believe the system will work this one time? we are just supposed to sit back and trust that these guys will do something? yet they havent done anything.. this just another disinformation site
- Added THAT'S TWO YEARS AGO and haven't done it yet? Forget this video
Well Little Peter, you are disinformation. This has been building up for years and now is the time to arrest the treasonous scum in this government to restore the republic. This isn't a revolution, it is a sweep to arrest those who are destroying our nation, the domestic enemy.
This will work but only if the military is involved as these criminal cowards are afraid of their own shadow. They will give up without a fight as I doubt any of their hired guns want to die for these cockroaches. If they do, then so it will be, they will be taken out.
- Added Drake is misinformation. Having us believe that something is being done, when in reality, nothing is being done, giving the NWO more time to implement their plans. GMO's are still happening, chemtrails are still happening. TPP is still happening. Lies are still happening. Traitors are still free. Nothing has changed. Nothing is happening.
- Added wow this will be amazing
" video cant be loaded -server or network failed or format not supported
vid wont play
- Added no problem w sound here
- Added NO VOLUME.....

Wow, enlightenment is everything and nothing. It is what it means to us but is also universal. It is like a knowing that cannot be easily defined. How do we find it? Lots of ways and in no way. We can seek it but it comes when it is ready to come. It cannot be taught or, in my opinion, even really practiced. It is my contention that we are all born into a paradigm of thinking and we all ascribe to it. Maybe not exactly the same way. Maybe our differences with one another seem huge–but they are in the grand scheme of things–really very small. We don't realize for the most part that we are born into a belief system that is all-encompassing. I don't mean just a religion or a work ethic or a way of relating. It's like the whole level of conscience places us in a box and we don't know there is life outside this box because all we have ever known is this box. There is no view outside the box either because there is no way to view beyond the box. More importantly–there is no view that there even IS a box. Why? Because it is a given and it is all we know.
But what happens? What changes it? It seems just as much an enigma that it happens as how it happens and when it happens. I have always been a bit intrigued by this idea or state of enlightenment. It seems esoteric. It seems romantic. It seems elitist. It seems damn hard to get there and out of the grasp of most of us. But that too is a wrongheaded paradigm that we can't see until we see! It almost seems like we cannot see the bigger picture until we see the smaller picture and the smaller picture won't come into focus until we see the bigger picture. Well–that is an enigma I guess.
Wrap that up with the issue of timing. We can read about enlightenment, practice achieving it, and desire it BUT it comes when it comes. An event, an insight, or maybe it is a built-in moment into our DNA or our life's path. Somehow we hit a point or event in our lives and the fog clears. Not from any specific effort we make–but almost like it is revealed unto us. Not that we may not be struggling and suffering–but that alone will not yield enlightenment in my opinion and experience.
It comes. It comes slowly or it comes as a flash. We can't stay the same after that. We are changed forever. We not only see the box and tear it down–but we don't care about the box anymore and we don't analyze that box. We simply see it for what it was and then there is no time to ruminate about the box because now things are limitless. You are what is, what was, and what will always be. Boundary less. Unencumbered by what this world holds because the box no longer detains your mind or your being.
For me, it came as an almost simultaneous knowing of my own little ecosystem and then the dynamics of the entire 'everythingness'. I felt, in that moment, as if a camera had elucidated MY life circumstance but just as quickly as it was elucidated–it was as if the camera had been quickly panning out in an infinite zoom that characterized that 'everythingness'. A connectedness without beginning or end. Seamless. 'Compartmentalless'. No division but simply oneness.
That is both awesome and frightening at first. Because to some degree–that box provides us some extreme false sense of security and control. We see ourselves as master of our own domain and creator of our lives. We see the world the way we have been programmed since forever. What we should do, think, become. How we should act and what we should achieve and get and buy and do and own and use up. We possess, in our own minds, that we are somehow separate from it all.
But enlightenment changes all of that. It shifts us into THE paradigm or the lack of paradigm. Later, as we acclimate our beings to the facts that we are souls with bodies and not bodies with souls–we find comfort in what initially caused anxiety. We find security where we initially felt fear and vulnerability. We realize that this knowledge makes us invulnerable. We are connected. We are part of something so large and amazing that it is limitless and it is not able to be characterized. It isn't necessarily fun because it is a shattering of all that was held to be true and to be real from our beginning. It is an understanding that what many think and hold to be true–is simply not true.
Once you find your enlightenment–the enlightenment–you can never be that person you once were. Everything has changed and nothing has changed because it was there all along. But now YOU know. You can't look at your self, the world, your relationships, and your future the same way ever again. It is like the bell not being able to be "unrung". You can't put the genie back into the bottle. You can't "unsee" something. So you transform into a new being and you grow to understand how that flash of knowing that you achieved will fit into your remaining physical life. You just know.
It is then that you realize that enlightenment isn't making ourselves better or understanding some unknowable truth–it is about seeing THE truth. About the view of what just is. It makes life sort of interesting because–at least for me–those who are enlightened stand out now. They possess a different dimension to themselves. THEY don't project it–it simply IS projected. Like you know they know and they know you know. Those whose journey hasn't yet brought them there are oblivious and now it is as if you can see them–those unenlightened–as beings struggling just as you did. You don't judge anymore. You just are and you let them just be.
You gravitate towards those who have passed that threshold. You know you are bonded to every single thing that exists. They know they are too–bonded to everything. There is comfort in that knowing. But in the whole picture, I am still getting use to my 'knowing'. It still has the capacity to frighten me. It still has the capacity to make me feel as if I am in a free fall. It strips away any illusions and beliefs and lets you see the truth. While they say the truth sets you free–I think the truth has implications that we simply cannot fully grasp in this state of being. Our transformation from this existence into the next, I believe, will reveal what cannot be revealed fully here. And I am o.k. with that.

Attitudes and Values
The study of human-animal relations offers a clear and adaptable lens through which to address one of the most important — and sadly too often neglected — elements of the New Zealand curriculum: the development of the values and attitudes that form young people into responsible and compassionate citizens.
Some of the crucial lessons for children are learnt via their relationships with animals, including:
- Finding out about the natural world
- Assuming responsibility for the well-being of another living being
- Grieving over the loss of a loved companion
This means that school students are very often already interested in thinking and learning about animals.
Moreover, the psychological and social links between empathy for animals and concern for the well-being of other humans are now very thoroughly documented. In this sense, animal studies are an appropriate and necessary component of an inclusive education.
"Learning about animals and animal protection helps to instil values of care and compassion in young New Zealanders."
