Newcomer Jackky Bhagnani shed 60 kilos for Bollywood debutFebruary 2nd, 2009 - 11:00 am ICT by IANS
Pattaya (Thailand), Feb 2 (IANS) His waistline was 44 inches and he weighed 130 kg once, but thanks to rigorous workouts newcomer Jackky Bhagnani shed 60 kg and is now set to flaunt his well-toned body in his debut film "Kal Kissne Dekha" being shot at this Thai resort."Obesity is the biggest disease of mankind - bigger than even cancer. Your self-confidence is low and you become mentally sick. There was a time when I used to feel conscious because of my weight. I was never at ease. It was a very bad phase of my life," said Jackky, son of well-known producer Vashu Bhagnani.
Asked who had the best physique in tinsel town, he said: "Priyanka Chopra is the fittest of all actresses. She is fit, agile and athletic. Among guys, Hrithik Roshan is the fittest. However, now there are a lot of male actors in the league," Jackky, who is shooting for his father's "Kal Kissne Dekha" in Pattaya, told IANS.
Not only did he lose weight, Jackky also took acting lessons to groom himself.
"I went to Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute (New York) for a year with a reference letter from Shah Rukh Khan. They needed one from a big personality - and who bigger than Shah Rukh himself?
"I also took a couple of dance classes with Shiamak Davar and a couple of other people. I took dancing lessons because I wanted to become technically perfect in dancing because I love it," the budding actor said.
Despite all the training, the 24-year-old admits he was really tense while facing the camera for the first time.
"I was very nervous on the first day of my shoot. No matter how trained you are, when you are actually in front of the camera, you feel that you will just freeze in front of the camera.
"I felt like I can't speak or move, but thanks to my director and my cameraman I overcame initial fright. They played a huge role in making me feel comfortable," he said.
Jackky stars opposite debutante actress Vaishali Desai in "Kal Kissne Dekha". Directed by Vivek Sharma, the romantic thriller is scheduled for an April release. It is the story of a young college boy who can foresee the future.
"It is a well-packaged film and has all the ingredients that a newcomer would need," said Jackky, who actually entered the world of Bollywood at the age of 16, though not as an actor.
He started as an assistant producer under his father and went on to become the executive producer for films like "Shaadi No. 1″ (2005) and "Silsilay" (2005).
"When I started assisting my dad, I was the youngest producer in the country. But I didn't want to become a producer. However, working behind the scenes really helped me understand the technique. I also learnt how much pain people take to make the person standing in front of the camera look good," he added.
Jackky is keeping his fingers crossed for his maiden venture and says he is open to playing diverse roles in future.
"I would want to do every role possible and even the roles that people don't expect me to do. I wouldn't like to categorise myself. I have a long way to go.
"My whole take while shooting 'Kal Kissne Dekha' was that I'm not here to prove a point. I'm here to actually show that I enjoy what I'm doing. I am just trying to make a small space for myself," Jackky said.

The placenta is an organ that grows particularly to facilitate this being pregnant, and is connected to the uterine wall. It offers hormones and vitamins to the newborn, and is related to the newborn by the umbilical twine. As being pregnant progress, the uterus grows and stretches and this strikes the placenta away from the cervix. If this doesn't occur, the placenta might stay close to to or protecting the cervix. This situation is called placenta previa.
The precise causes of placenta previa are unknown. Nonetheless, the danger of creating placenta previa is barely larger for ladies:
- aged 35 or over
- who've skilled earlier placenta previa
- who've had earlier caesarean births
- who're carrying twins or extra
- who smoke
- who use cocaine
- who've suffered miscarriages up to now
How is placenta previa recognized?
The situation of the placenta may even be famous throughout your 18-21 week scan. If the sonographer thinks your placenta is low-lying, you'll be supplied a second scan later within the being pregnant. It will sometimes occur at round week 32. At this second scan, round 90% of girls will uncover that the placenta has moved to the place it must be.
In case your placenta remains to be low mendacity on the second scan, you'll be monitored by your healthcare supplier till the beginning, or till the placenta strikes. It's possible you'll be:
- placed on mattress relaxation
- placed on pelvic relaxation (this implies no intercourse, no orgasms and no vaginal exams)
- admitted to hospital for the previous few weeks of the being pregnant
- Suggested to take it simple (no heavy lifting or actions which will put you beneath pointless pressure)
Your therapy will rely on the severity of your situation. There are three completely different diagnoses:
- Low-lying placenta – the placenta is near, however not protecting, the cervix
- Partial placenta previa – a part of the cervix is roofed by the placenta
- Whole placenta previa – on this occasion, the whole cervix is obstructed by the cervix
The dangers related to this situation embrace bleeding, lowered fetal development and separation of the placenta from the uterine wall. Your healthcare supplier will assess your danger elements and advise on the most effective course of therapy.
Will I be capable of have a standard beginning?
If the placenta is close to or protecting the cervix on the time of the beginning, you'll be unable to have a vaginal supply. You'll as an alternative ship by caesarean surgical procedure. Placenta previa is a uncommon situation which is barely current in zero.5% of births.
It is best to contact your healthcare supplier instantly for those who expertise vaginal bleeding.

"Look out for Mr. Stork"
No, I am not expecting. Today we were watching Dumbo and in the beginning all of the zoo animals are getting a special delivery from a flock of storks. The song that goes with it goes "look out for Mr. Stork…" Douglas, sometimes Mr. Literal asked "why do you need to watch out for storks? " A simple question. I asked him why he thought we needed to watch out for storks and he figured it's because they'll bite you or poke you with their sharp beaks. I yet again escaped having to go into details on how babies come. I've been pretty lucky in explaining how babies get out of my tummy since I had a c-section.

Climate change is already having significant impacts on ecosystems, food production systems, and peoples around the world, and these impacts will continue to intensify and spread even if we successfully limit future warming below 2°C. Thus the current and future need for adaptation must be recognized and elevated as a priority in climate change discussions.
In this issue of Environment, authors Frank Biermann and Ingrid Boas warn of the need to prepare globally to deal with mass numbers of climate refugees ("Protecting Climate Refugees: The Case for a Global Protocol"). While the ultimate size, scale, and severity of this problem are still uncertain, we do know that climate change impacts like sea-level rise are already displacing people, and the problem will most likely intensify. Quite rightly, the authors challenge us to start preparing now and propose the creation of a new global institution to manage what will be a recurrent, widespread, and complex set of mass migrations within and between countries.
As Mike Hulme notes in his commentary, however, this problem also raises profound questions of governance, power, justice, security, health, and well-being. How do institutions define a "climate refugee" amidst the complexities of both natural and human systems? How exactly does one attribute a particular migration to climate change versus the extreme events of natural variability (droughts, floods, and famines)? Individuals and communities also move for a complex set of reasons, of which changes in local climate or the experience of climate impacts are often only one dimension.
These issues are further complicated by the human dimensions of cultural identity, power relations, and the lack of knowledge among those most vulnerable. Climate impacts are likely to first manifest as a series of humanitarian crises—the cyclone sweeping into a city, the drought withering crops, the outbreak of infectious disease. As Craig Colten and his colleagues describe in their recent article in Environment ("Three Years after Katrina: Lessons for Community Resilience," September/October 2008), after a disaster, most people want to return to their homes and reconstruct their lives. Their first response is to recreate what existed before, where it existed before. Who decides when an area must be abandoned and its inhabitants relocated? Will climate change refugees be welcomed in their new communities? While each situation is unique, we can expect that in general, any top-down decision to relocate communities will meet strong resistance.
To be effective, planned relocations will require a substantial commitment of resources, not just of personnel and money, but of time and patience to build trusted relationships based on shared dialogue between outside experts and local communities. For example, many vulnerable communities will be unwilling to move unless they really understand the threat posed by climate change. Yet recent results from the Gallup World Poll demonstrate that very large majorities of people in many of the most vulnerable countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have never even heard of global warming or climate change.
Successful relocations will thus require significant efforts to communicate the potential severity and likelihood of climate impacts; the potential adaptation options and costs; the uncertainties involved; and facilitated decisionmaking processes sensitive to local realities of power, economics, and culture. As George Saliba and Kathy Jacobs describe in their article, "Saving the San Pedro River: Science, Collaboration, and Water Sustainability in Arizona," building mutual understanding and trust between experts and local decisionmakers can take years, even within the context of sharing a single resource in the developed world.
Asking people to willingly leave their homelands for an uncertain future will inevitably be much, much harder—especially because many communities have deep cultural connections to specific places that define who they are as a people and have ways of life that have been carefully passed on for generations, embedded in particular landscapes. Subsistence patterns, ancestral burial grounds, community, and language are often deeply connected to the land. In this way, relocation itself presents a direct threat to self and cultural identity. The very idea of relocation often creates additional strains and divisions within communities that are already under great economic, environmental, and cultural stress.
Finally, as the articles by David Runnalls ("Our Common Inaction: Meeting the Call for Institutional Change," page 18) and Biermann and Boas articulate, current international institutions are still too small, divided, and powerless to successfully address the twin and interlinked challenges of climate change and sustainability. As you read this, the United States will have just chosen a new president who will confront not only enormous domestic challenges, but these globally systemic threats as well. The need for renewed international leadership and fundamental institutional change has never been greater.

The Jerusalem Post reports:
Anti-Israel graffiti defacing the campus of a British university with vulgar slogans was being removed after the Jewish state's new ambassador to the United Kingdom paid a visit to the London campus earlier this week, The Jewish Chronicle reported Thursday.
Ambassador Mark Regev on Wednesday toured England's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) having been invited by the university's director, Baroness Valarie Amos.
Shortly after his departure, however, anti-Israel graffiti was discovered scattered about the school's campus including "F**k Regev, Amos and Israel. BDS or else."
A day after Regev visited the SOAS campus, protests erupted by anti-Israel activists demanding an apology from the university director.

Leadership is a Buzzword
In an interview for an executive position on a club on campus, the interviewer asked what leadership meant to me. I gave a vague answer (something I'd Google'd the night before) about working with others and managing team. Needless to say, I got a rejection email a few days later. I think we've all been there; or at the very least, someplace similar.
Leadership is a sought-after but difficult to define term. Is it measured in how I can get the people around me to do my bidding? Or instead is it the "vice president" or "president" title I have?
I had no clue. At least, not at the time.
Fast forward a few months, I joined AIESEC as a general member. I was on the team that sent local students abroad on professional internships.
Through meeting and talking to people interested going abroad and with AIESEC members around the globe, I was exposed to an array of diverse perspectives. I became more aware of and formed an opinion on world issues. I became more of a world citizen.
Things didn't always go according to plan in AIESEC. Someone would stop replying to my messages, or a student would be disappointed when she was not accepted to a specific opportunity. Instead of wallowing in the frustration, my mind started to automatically turn to a solution. Find a new angle of presenting our opportunities and contact my peers. I became more solution-oriented.
The longer I stayed in my role, the more I became aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I got better at getting a large amount of work done under pressure, but I realized I procrastinate way too much. By being more self-aware, I got a better idea of how to improve myself.
Through AIESEC, I met like-minded youths from all over Canada and communicated with similar people from around the world. I started to get a particular gleam in my eye when I talked about world issues and youth leadership, so much so that my friends and family noted the difference. I started to empower others in my conversations and with my passion.
Leadership through AIESEC is defined through the four values of: being a world citizen, solution-oriented, self-aware, and empowering others. I found a definition that was not a cliché, and had measurable qualities. Leadership, while often used as a buzzword, takes on a more tangible meaning in AIESEC. These are the four main qualities needed in someone who can effect positive change in the world.
Leadership can still mean different things to different people. But it was AIESEC that gave me a concrete definition of the oft overused word. It wasn't just about managing a team; it was more than a nice title in an email signature. Leadership is a way of behaving and seeing the world. Through AIESEC, I became a leader.

The Teaching Garden
To help promote healthy eating habits and cultivate knowledge on where food comes from Whitman has a Teaching Garden located outside the school. The garden is sponsored by D&L Oil Tools and The American Heart Association's Heart Walk along with donations from Colebrook Nursery.
Each grade level has their own portion the garden and feels a sense of investment in their crops. They help to plant the seeds, stop and check on them periodically, and then help harvest them. At the schools Fall Literacy Night, the crops were shown off in a station that showed how basil can be used in numerous different ways. We can't wait to see what the garden teaches us next!

M. Kalim Qamar, Ph.D.[1]
History of the case
Poor research-extension linkages are a persisting problem in developing countries. During 1990s, ten farmer-oriented regional Assessment Institutes for Agricultural Technology (AIATs) were established in diverse agro-ecological zones in Indonesia under a World Bank-financed Agricultural Research Management II Project. The objective was to consolidate dozens of small research stations and extension centers scattered in the country and bring research and extension staff literally under the same roof. Two main functions of the AIATs were to test agricultural technologies received from central commodity research institutes on farmers' fields, and to encourage research undertakings by non-public actors such as universities through a research grant modality. A technology assessment review committee comprising public and private stakeholders was also established at district level. The result of this unique linkage were so encouraging that once the World Bank project ended, the Asian Development Bank took over and financed further expansion of the program. Today all30 provinces of Indonesia have AIATs.
My involvement
I earlier worked in Indonesia as leader of a technical assistance team for a major World Bank-financed project on agricultural extension, and as such was quite familiar with the research extension situation in the country. For this particular project, I was a member of joint World Bank/FAO missions. In 1998, I participated in a supervision mission, and the same year participated in the project's mid-term review mission. In 2002, I was a member of the final joint supervision mission. During all these three-week missions, extensive field observations were made through visits to the AIATs as well as to other stakeholders including universities and farmers. In preparation for these missions, I reviewed relevant documents and later prepared the extension-related parts of mission aid memoires.
Lessons illustrated
In my very long international experience in several dozen countries , I see the Indonesia case as the best hope for meaningful collaboration between research and extension. If research and extension are put in the same institute, with the same terms of reference and service benefits for both research and extension workers, and let the institute be headed either by a senior researcher or a senior extension official, and basic training is provided in research to extension workers and basic training in extension to research staff, and the institute engages non-public actors and farmers in technology assessment, the notorious weakness in the present research-extension linkages could be removed to a great extent if not fully.
Importance to MEAS
MEAS could recommend to developing countries, especially where decentralization is going on, to get out of box mentality in applying decades old stereotype methods to link research and extension institutions which have not worked. They should instead adapt the technique, used by Indonesia, to their local situations.

Dragon Name: Moryastrasz
Mortal Name: Moryarian Sin'danel (High/Blood Elf), Moryath Millings (Human)
Nicknames/Aliases: Mory, Rigby
Title(s): The Decisive
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Dragonblight
Class: Pyromancer, Duelist
Occupation/Hobbies: Painting (Occupation/Hobby) Fishing (Hobby)
Alignment: Neutral/Chaotic Good
Affiliation(s): Stromgarde (civilian, militiaman, formerly), Dalaran (civilian, apprentice, mage, formerly), Stormwind City (civilian, famed painter, formerly), Wyrmrest Accord (soldier, archivist, formerly), Heartwing (covenant, lieutenant)
Loyalty: Stromgarde (formerly), Stormwind City (formerly), Dalaran (formerly), Wyrmrest Accord (formerly), Heartwing (current)
Status: Active
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Languages: Draconic, Titan, Common, Orcish, Thalassian, Darnassian, Dwarven
Personality: Moryastrasz' personality fits that of the guardian angel. He'll go to many stretches to defend the lives of the innocents even when it means putting his own in jeopardy, as such is the archetype of the red dragonflight. However, when the course of events alters to something far less serious, Moryarian is known for his cheery behaviour, positive outlook and outgoing attitude in most casual situations.
Facial Appearance: The physical attributes of Moryarian's elven face are best described as regal and angular. Sharp lines going up and down his clean-shaven and blemish-free jawline and even shaping his nose would very clearly define his thalassian heritage. (High/Blood Elf) The attributes of his human form were much more crude than the previous, his jawline's point dulled by a thin layer of fat and a full, auburn-hued beard. (Human) However, his true form bore much more majesty than the last two. His shimmering crimson scales arced inward and downward, his strong, wide jawline segued down into a magnificent, dirtied blonde chin beard, swishing in the wind beneath the noble creature. (Draconic)
Eye Color: Moryarian seemed to appreciate his high elven form above all other guises and, as such, magically adorned it with pink-hued eyes. It didn't seem to change much about the actual makeup of the eyes, rather just their shade, the natural blue of the bulbs changing to a more rose-colored. (High/Blood Elf) His human form seemed to wear a common shade of blue among their societies, nothing seemed too special about the mosaic-esque eyes. (Human) Moryastrasz' eyes were a deep blue encompassing his entire eye, almost characteristic of the natural eye glow worn by the Quel'dorei masses before their slaughter. (Draconic)
Hair Style: Moryarian's incredible ensemble of straight strands were strung up into a magnificent, albeit crude, tail. The mass of hair was held together by a silver, metal band with a small release latch on its side. (High/Blood Elf) Moryath's hair, however, lay loose, a few of his auburn strands naturally curling at the end, almost as if stylized to do so. (Human) There wasn't much to say about the few, dirty blonde tufts of hair escaping from aside Moryastrasz' horns. (Draconic)
Hair Color: Moryarian's hair closely resembled that of a bushel of scarlet roses by colour. (High/Blood Elf) Moryath's waving neck-length hair was a mixture of blonde and red, aptly dubbed auburn. (Human) The hair that string from Moryastrasz' horns and his own chin were again, a mixture, having traits of blonde as well as brown. (Draconic)
Tattoos: Moryastrasz has a small eggshell-inked tattoo taking the shape of a whirlpool, it blends quite well with the skin tone of his various mortal forms but largely stands out when placed against the crimson-scaled canvas that is his body.
Scars: Moryastrasz carries the result of draconic claws dragging against his forearm, three large, distinct claw marks running down the length of his arm, visible in all of his forms, though it would stand out wholly in his mortal form, if seen without his accompanying armor.
Armor: The appearance of Moryarian in his elven form may appear rather crude to his draconic kin, it is apparent he seeks no blending or disguise by the attire he wears. Spiked steel pads weigh down his shoulders while the majority of his body, exception being the areas his shirt and metal gauntlets rested, is covered in high-quality animal hides, tanned and transfoed into tough leather. (High/Blood Elf) The change of attire between guises seemed quite drastic in this case. He was not quite as heavily armored as his elven form, the only cured leather being from the waist down, while up above he wore an intricately patterned teal shirt and a darkened hide vest. The shoulders of which bore nothing more than the latches necessary from which his silver cloak would dangle. (Human)
Weapons: No matter the guise, Moryarian had a one-handed, swift blade at his side. The current weapon he wore in his elven guise seemed to be just as crude as his leather and partially plated attire. The blade was darkened from crossguard to edge, seemingly purposefully by the sharp, defining red edges that traced each side of the dark blade. Toward the hilt, the blade seemed even more crude, even more brutish. Spiked at each edge, the crossguard seemed to be a miniature holding cell for a glowing orange gem, whether that were its natural choice or if it were permanently forced that way by the aura of flame it held. The gem seemed to have a partner at the other edge, the pommel held a sort of aureate stone in suspended animation. (High/Blood Elf)
Again, Moryarian seemed to care less for the blending side of guises and more for being open with himself within Heartwing. The human's blade seemed generic, as if such a sword could be found at any local smith. Its silver blade ran down to a regular steel crossguard, a hilt covered in leather strips for easy grip and a flattened pommel.

To be quite honest, I am still struggling to catch my breath as keeping pace with the never-ending blunders of the Namibia Premier League (NPL) is no longer a small feat. Still left in a daze by the mediocre show put up by the NPL during their so-called sponsorship announcement, I think it's about high time we call a spade a spade and a spoon a spoon.
Without going into the well-documented history of how the NPL threw away the MTC sponsorship and how they failed to clean up their mess by again failing to secure a replacement for MTC, let me take this opportunity to go bare teeth and nails at NPL chairman Johnny 'JJD' Doeseb.
Again, I believe that at this point in time I don't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Doeseb has a serious case to answer to Namibians – particularly to the real custodians of the game the players – as to how a league that was worth some millions a few months ago is now on the brink of becoming prey to stray dogs.
Yes, I also know that most of these decisions taken by the NPL are collective resolutions endorsed by the league's Board of Governors (BoG) but unfortunately just like in any other business set-up, whenever a company finds itself on its knees, the captain of that ship (in this case Doeseb) is required to step forward and answer for the mess the company is going through and provide solutions on how it will recover.
Hence on that note, Doeseb has two options. He either comes clean and tells the nation that he does not have the acumen required to carry the NPL through and thus he is going to do the most honorable thing, which is to resign. Or he finds a solution to the chaos the NPL finds itself in by stepping up his game and starts talking to serious partners who are willing to invest money in football. Not the jokes you presented on Thursday at Football House, being referred to as new league sponsors.
If Doeseb and his sidekicks are further left unchecked, only god knows what would be left as debris when the storm finally subsides. Mark my words!
Just as was the case with FIFA under Blatter, where the powers of infallibility, unaccountability, impunity and not to mention the omnipotence that FIFA conferred on itself, giving birth to a leadership that had absolute power even over sovereign states whose football associations are affiliated to FIFA, Namibians should not allow such a situation to unfold itself as the outcome would be regrettable.
Football House has over the years become a birds' nest, so much to the extent that it can be likened to an ant pit where we see the same old faces in local football roaming the corridors of Football House, all seeking favours from the so-called "big bosses".
We can't have a few well-connected individuals dictate the destiny of our beloved game and them to be allowed to ruin the lives of hundreds of young footballers.
So as per the moniker of this column, my candid view is that Doeseb should save himself from further humiliation and step down. And as he leaves the NPL office, he should take along with him all his friends, family members and cronies who have all overstayed their welcome. I mean it's clear, they no longer have anything to offer to football but to keep maintaining their overblown bellies and living lavish unaudited lifestyles.
Namibian football administration requires a complete fumigation and it must start with the immediate end to Doeseb's reign. But like we always say, the ball is in the hands of the clubs, they are the ones to decide. Until next time, sharp sharp!!

CNET First Look
Playstation VR isn't just for gamingYou'll be able to use Sony's virtual reality headset to watch movies and TV, plus play non-VR games.
[MUSIC] So you guys, we're checking out Playstation VR and this is cinematic mode where you can watch movies with your VR headset. You don't just have to play games with it, here we're seeing a 16 by 9 aspect ratio movie, its not really VR or 360 but you can actually watch a movie through your headset and also use your Playstation, use the menus With your headset. And it actually kinda looks like you're in a movie theatre so wider screen. There's a whole bunch of cool new features that are coming through VR that are not just related to gaming and the PlayStation VR headset will work with any existing PlayStation 4. If you can use it with regular games, it also shows that the game moves with you in the headset. A little bit more so than playing on the TV Aww freaky. Not exactly like VR but again we're not playing a VR game we're playing a regular Playstation game. I do feel like I'm a little bit more sucked into the action and it takes a little getting used to that's for sure. It's not like a typical game.

Tougher Energy Conservation Standards Proposed for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers
The Department of Energy has issued separate proposed rules that would establish more stringent energy conservation standards for commercial refrigeration equipment, walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers. The DOE believes the proposed standards would save a significant amount of energy and represent the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible and economically justified.
Public meetings to gather input on these proposals will be held Oct. 3 (refrigeration equipment) and Oct. 9 (coolers and freezers) in Washington, D.C., and will also be broadcast as webinars. In addition, comments, data and information on the proposed rules will be accepted through Nov. 12.
The DOE anticipates that final rules will be published in 2014 and that the proposed standards will apply to all covered equipment that is manufactured in or imported into the U.S. starting sometime in 2017.

The vision of Global CHE Enterprises is two fold:
- To see individuals encounter the living God through the actions of the body of Christ so that they are changed from the inside out and in turn enable God to work through them so that their communities are transformed.
- To lead individuals and Christian organizations worldwide to initiate and strengthen ministries that lead people to become followers of Jesus and lift whole communities out of cycles of poverty and disease.
Integration and Wholism
We are committed to complete obedience to all that Jesus commanded, including compassion for the physical needs of people, evangelism and discipleship. We recognize an integral relationship between the physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Our programs seek the total development of the whole person and community/neighborhood.
Commitment to the Poor and Marginalized
Jesus came to preach good news to the poor. As his Ambassadors we are committed to the poor and marginalized. We affirm their worth, call them to be children of God through faith in Christ, and seek to release them from brokenness and despair.
Long-Term Solutions
We concentrate our efforts on long-term solutions that break the cycle of poverty and disease. We train, equip, and empower people to do for themselves. We focus on development rather than relief, and disease prevention rather than cure.
Community Transformation
We understand that community transformation is a long-term process that requires long-term solutions. We will therefore focus our efforts on long-term solutions that break the cycle of poverty and disease. We believe that the foundation is looking first and foremost to God as the provider and the One who empowers. As a result we will train, equip, and empower people to do for themselves and not to continue the cycle of dependence.It is vital that community leaders, churches and associations build on the assets God has provided. As leaders, churches and associations come together they can then build on those assets instead of primarily focusing on needs.
God gives dignity and worth of each person. We believe that God has given those we work with the gifts and abilities that are needed for Him to transform lives in the communities. Our role is to build on what God has put in each person so that sustainable programs are owned by the people and built on their initiative. Ownership and initiative is demonstrated through volunteerism and strengthened through capacity building. We take time in communities to participate with its members in assessing their needs, identifying resources, and assisting them in organizing for action through training and consultation.
Multiplication and Movements
Our mutual aim is for God to change people globally. This means that we are not focused only on projects, but on movements. This is facilitated by implementing principles of servant leadership based on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Leaders will be trained to train others using transferable concepts. We emphasize the use of local resources and appropriate technologies so solutions can be passed along neighbor to neighbor. We build cooperation and vision at a community/neighborhood level. We work collaboratively with faith- and community/neighborhood-based organizations, local and international relief and development agencies, churches and missions, as well as governments to facilitate the transformation of communities and nations.
Christian Servant Leadership
Jesus is our model. We seek to imitate him in humility and love. Jesus taught that the greatest in the kingdom is the servant of all. Every leader in our organization is Christian, and each one a servant. We seek to model servant leadership in our organization and programs, and to raise up leaders in every community/neighborhood who give sacrificially to serve the needs of the people.
Our programs will be adapted to local needs and requirements as identified by the local community/neighborhood.

This is one of the most commonly used brands of tequila I've seen used at bars. Upside: it's not super expensive! Down side: it's a little hard to put back on its own. I feel like it's pretty good for the price you pay for it. I have bought it on multiple occasions and will continue to buy it in the future. I recommend trying it out at least once, you might be pleasantly surprised!
Hands down, my favorite tequila. It's smooth, easily to mix, and doesn't have an insanely pungent smell like other tequilas I've drank. This is always my go to bottle for parties and gatherings because it's so easy to please everyone with a bottle of Jose! This is what you bring out when you're looking to have a good time, but don't want to regret it in the morning.
I think you know what you're getting yourself into if you're a tequila drinker, and picking up Jose Cuervo. It's going to get the job done. It's not going to make you look like total trash at the register, but you aren't looking like a pretentious a-hole either. It's dependable. Relatable. As non offensive as tequila can get. Sometimes, that's just what you need.
Jose Cuervo Blanco Tradicional Tequila nose has aromas of pineapple,agave heart, and pepper. The entry is warm with palate of pepper and pineapple. The ending is warm with finish of agave heart and burst of pepper.It is much better than Jose Silver Mixto Tequlia for about the same price. Jose Cuervo Blanco Tradicional Tequila is good but not great.It is for mixing as it is a little warm to be a sipper. [product:jose-cuervo-especial-silver-tequila-]
When I first started drinking tequila, this was what I started with. It has a good flavor, but goes down pretty rough when taking shots. The packaging is simple, yet eye catching. The affordable price brings me to continue buying this brand whenever I am in the mood for tequila - either for shots or margaritas!
I'd give it 5, but that's not fair to the high quality tequilas that I will give a 5 too. It burns, tastes great with a lime, and it's cheap. I love this for when I go to any place I know I'll be sharing with people who just want to have fun and don't care about how high end the drink is. It's always enjoyed.
I mostly use Jose Cuervo Especial Silver Tequila for making hot sauce. I burn off the alcohol in it and it gives the most amazing flavor to the hot sauce. The price is pretty reasonable but being the penny pincher that I am I always look for a sale on it. I would definitely recommend this to others for their cooking needs.
Delicious, smooth, no hang over. Delicious, smooth, no hang over. Delicious, smooth, no hang over. Delicious, smooth, no hang over. Delicious, smooth, no hang over. Delicious, smooth, no hang over. Delicious, smooth, no hang over. Delicious, smooth, no hang over.
I love Jose. He's one of my favorites along with Jim and Jack haha. The taste can be a bit much if you aren't used to it but it does give you a good buzz. Plus, you can never go wrong with a bottle of Jose at any party or gathering. Almost anyone will love it. That's certainly true with my family haha.
Jose Cuervo is a great tequila for any occasion. It's great for margaritas or taking shots! I personally enjoy silver tequila more than gold, but both are great. I've purchased this product several times and it's comparable in price to other "higher end" tequilas. I would buy this product again.

I need my able bodied friends/family to read this…
and try to understand why persons with disabilities get to a point where they do not trust any of you.
Peripheral details have been changed here…but this really happened. [ my friend from high school. Michelle S From Florida passed this on]
Anna and her daughter Molly live in a building for people with disabilities in the sunny state of Florida…
They are really generous folks and pass on good advice and help to anyone who comes to them…
They met a young fella with disabilities, who was visiting someone else in the building..he was 35 or so…He lived with his mother.
Over time, he trusted them and would rather visit them, than his own cousin. And told them what his home life was like…
The house was cluttered enough for the parents to be called 'hoarders.'
He never saw his disability check, because his parents used it all….
They had a spare apartment for him…and had told his doctors years ago that he was living in that, when in fact, the hoarding blocked it…and he lived on the couch downstairs…
Anna and Molly knew that things could be better for the young man, so explained how to get on a waiting list for their building…and the young man did so.
Furniture and household goods were purchased for him…kept in waiting at Anna and Molly's, a grand Christmas party was thrown by Anna and Molly, and he and his mom had a great time.
Two days before his move in date…the complex got a call. Someone claiming to be the young man himself, and sounding enough like him to fool the office staff…called and said he would decline the apartment.
The young man came two days later….and was told by his cousin the apartment was no longer available.
Of course…the parents weren't going to let go of that money. Not for anything. Even the difficulties of caregiving (such as it must have been) in the middle of a hoard wouldn't pry their hands off that young man's disability check.
Sometimes we have loving family and friends that help us too much…they're overprotective out of concern.
Sometimes, we have loving family and friends who consciously try to strike a balance between help and support and helping us handle a lot of things on our own.
And much more often than anyone knows…we cannot trust those with our DNA. We cannot trust those we believe to be our friends.
When I heard this one, it made me sick. My hands shook for two hours. My stomach was a mess.
I've never been comfortable with 'separatist' movements among minority groups…it just always seemed like you'd miss too much, knowing only your own identity and no others…
But now, I begin to get it. Not like I'm signing up…but there is a powerful attractive pull after hearing stuff like this.
I now understand better than ever persons with disabilities' wish that we could get the care we need, socialize and relate and count on those like us…and bond amongst ourselves….and handle every societal need without ever having to count on the abled. Not friends, not family, not aides or other professional caregivers.
…and lock those who would be predators out of our society…even as we'd have to lock out genuine able bodied allies at the same time.
We live among cavemen…the law of the jungle…can be acted out just down the street.
They didn't just take his money. They take his freedom every day, his thought, his spirit, and the hope of independence…
Someday, I truly hope they get called out for the way he has to live.

Project Description
– Service
GASTRONOMIST is the first consulting blog community devoted to food culture promotion via a network of young food experts. The key drivers are educating readers about quality food and the ability to offer access to qualified professionals on an international platform.
GASTRONOMIST has an international network – which is now available to 30 members all over the world. The website went live in January 2014. The idea comes from two young gastronomists: Gianluca Capedri e Michele Crippa.
Some highlights of our involvement with this technology:
– Website design and implementation
– Consulting services
"To start a such new and revolutionary project, we were in need of a Partner able to deeply understand our philosophy and our needs. Our ideas were not so clear, since our project is going to renew the world of quality Food & Beverage. With Qwince we found a fantastic solution: experienced professionals, reliable and full commitment. Our brand new portal was up and running in less than a month: ability to timely react, feeling and quality"

The Oral-B Pro 1000 did well in our tests, earning a score of 61 out of 100 in our tests. This toothbrush excelled in our cleaning tests, as well as in ease of use. This, combined with an MSRP of $50 led to the Oral-B Pro 1000 taking home our Best Buy award. This model has a great value, and would be the top recommendation for those shopping on a budget.
Oral-B Pro 1000 Review
Pros: Good cleaning performance, easy to use
Cons: Not the most comfortable, subpar battery life
Bottom line: Second best cleaning performance, but can be uncomfortable for sensitive gums or smaller mouths
Waterproof/ Resistant: Can use in shower
# of Different Brush Heads: 9
Manufacturer: Oral-B
Our Verdict
RELATED REVIEW: The Best Electric Toothbrushes of 2018
Our Analysis and Test Results
David Wise and Austin Palmer
October 25, 2016
Performance Comparison
This model was the second highest ranked model in our cleaning test, earning an 8 out of 10 in this metric. This brush uses a rotation-oscillation style brush head, which we found missed less spots than the side to side style brush head in our tests. Our test highlighted how many spots an inexperienced user would miss with each model, and this model universally did well across the board with our panel of testers. Each tester in our panel refrained from brushing for a period of about 16 hours, then chewed a plaque disclosing tablet per the manufacturer's instructions. These tablets visually indicate where plaque resides on teeth by coloring it red, and then scores were determined by comparing the before and after photos of brushing. We used whatever toothbrush head came standard with the toothbrush, in this case the Oral-B CrossAction brush head.
This model was tied for the top scoring position when it came to our stain removal test. For this test, eggshells stained in coffee acted as our proxy for stained teeth, and each model was run for 120 seconds on a tooth-sized area on the shell. This toothbrush did not have a mode specifically for whitening, so the standard mode was used. Below you can see the before and after comparison of the eggshell after being cleaned.
The downside to this increased performance was the majority of our testers found this brush one of the least comfortable, discussed in further detail in the next section.
This toothbrush was tied for the lowest score in this class, meriting a score of 4 out of 10. This score was split between holding comfort, brushing comfort and noise of the toothbrush. The holding comfort consisted of the ergonomic feel of the toothbrush and was evaluated by all of the testers prior to the cleaning test. They did this blindfolded, and had not used or seen any of the brushes before, to capture their true first impressions.
This model has a handle with a glossy finish and a rubberized grip on the front, weighing in at 4.5 ozs. The Pro 1000 was rated as average when it came to holding comfort, but our panel was not pleased with this toothbrush when it came to brushing comfort. The toothbrush head on this model is close to 50% deeper than other models we tested, which led to a noticeable difference when it came to the feel when actually brushing.
This larger brush head was too large to comfortably clean the back molars for some of our testers, as well as made them much more prone to drooling during testing, much to their chagrin. This would definitely be something to consider if you have a mouth on the smaller side, as those with larger mouths found the Oral-B less cumbersome. Even though this brushing head had soft bristles, we noted that the rotation-oscillation style of motion felt more abrasive and aggressive than other models, something that those with a history of sensitive gums felt was a dealbreaker.
This also caused this brush to be one of the loudest that we tested, with a much more "mechanical" noise than the side to side motion brushes. This noise felt decently loud to our testers when using this brush, and was the second loudest brush on the SPL meter. This model measured in at 74 dBa from 2" away, 16 dBa louder than the quietest model that we reviewed.
Ease of Use
This category was set up to assess what was difficult about the toothbrush, and identify issues that would be frustrating enough to stop you using it. The Oral-B Pro 1000 scored a 6 out of 10 in this metric, right in the middle of the pack. This was the most common score in this metric, as inherently this is a relatively simple product, but there were some noticeable points that we identified throughout our testing. Our panel of judges felt this brush came in the middle when it came to its visual aesthetic, with the higher end, toothbrushes receiving the highest marks.
Maintenance was relatively easy with this model, replacement brush heads simply snap on, and cleaning the brush was fairly easy. To test ease of cleaning, we made a dilute solution of toothpaste ("toothpaste gruel") and sprayed this on each handle, and then cleaned each one to find problem spots and hard to reach places. We only had slight difficult cleaning around the power button, but did have some problems when it came to cleaning around the bottom of the brush and at the attachment point for the brush head. This brush was significantly easier to clean than we had originally thought, as the rubber grip provided plenty of grooves to collect grime.
This model was not incredibly stable on its base, somewhat top heavy and easier to knock over.
Having only a single cleaning mode, the one button interface simply turns the brush on and off. This brush does have the standard two minute timer, with 30 second intervals for pacing. This brush also has a pressure sensor to alert you when you are brushing too hard.
Battery Life
Battery life is an important aspect of an electric toothbrush, as the longer it is, the more flexibility and freedom you have. For example, you can feel free to leave the charger at home for short trips, and have confidence that the brush will last the duration of the trip. The Oral-B had the shortest battery life out of any models that we looked at, earning it a score of 4 out of 10. This brush lasted for 44 minutes before dying, or about 11 days (brushing twice a day for two minutes). The battery indicator blinks red when not in use to signal that charging is necessary.
This brush has the best value of all the models that we looked at, earning it our Best Buy award. The Oral-B Pro 1000 has an MSRP of $50, with a 2-pack of replacement brush heads for $22. This model has all the features you need, and nothing extra, perfect for someone shopping on a budget.
This bare-bones toothbrush gave a strong performance, especially considering its price. It gets the job done, and we would recommend it to a friend. The only caveat we found is that people with smaller mouths or extra sensitive gums may benefit from one of the more comfortable models.

sajid Nadiadwala is known for giving best launches – Tiger, Kriti... how does it feel to be leading heroine of his banner
I feel very fortunate. I know he really takes care of his artists and treats you like a family. When I met him I felt so protected as he takes up all the responsibilities and makes sure you are on a right path. So, I feel very fortunate and lucky that I have sajid sir, the same mentor, as Tiger has. I have always wanted to work with Sir especially the way he moulded his career in Heropanti and Baaghi. Sir has a knack for getting right with everything and is extremely encouraging. He takes charge of everything and encourages you to do the good work
He is also known to give his heroines a huge marketing platform and present them in a very special way, what do you have to say about it
Yes of course! I remember about Priyanka Chopra as she did a film with sajid sir called Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and how famous she got after that film. I love Priyanka Chopra, that's why I am talking about her. For sure, he takes charge of everything and wants everything to be perfect which includes everything. He is a businessman. He wants you to come out as a star as well as an actor. He does not concentrate or focus on one thing; he wants you to be a package. This is a special trait of him and I am lucky to be with him because now I don't need to stress about anything. I just need to work, give my 100% as things are taken care of
Baaghi is a huge success and has been loved by the audiences. How does it feel to be a part of it
I loved the film and its action. I have watched it so many times especially the climax, the fight sequence. Now in the sequel, I can't reveal much, but it's a completely different setup and the story. And it's a very special story. When I heard I was thrilled! My character is something that I would love to do. I don't know how much can I talk about the film but it's just amazing to be part of it. Because I think Baaghi was kind of a revolution in terms of action, like nobody has made an action film like this. We have had many action films, but Baaghi was very different in terms of doing physical action and not using body double or much of harness
Pairing with Tiger Shroff, the best action hero.
He is like a perfectionist. He is a focused man and is someone who inspires me. Whatever he does, could be dance or action, he gives his 1000%. I have worked with him on an album and it was so hard for me to even stand next to him when he is dancing. He goes into a different zone and is very passionate. We are very good friends as well. So I think for us it will be easier to work together as we used to dance together. So there is certain kind of understanding that we have. I know for a fact that I have to really work hard to be able to match up to him or to be able to just stand next to him.

103mm Last Width: This boot has a 103mm width, which means it is above average width, so the total volume of the boot is generous, making this boot comfortable to wear, and easier to put on and take off than some more constricting boots.
80 Flex Index: This boot has a flex rating of 80, which is moving out of the softer-entry level boots and into the stiffer more advanced ski boots. A boot of this flex is appropriate for a wide range of skiers, from lower intermediates looking to improve to expert skiers who want a more casual flex.
Seamless Slider: Smooth material on the inside back of the liner to help the foot slide in and out of the boot with less effort.
Tongue Pull: A loop of fabric at the top of the tongue helps in putting on and removing the boots. Pull it forward and to the side and your foot should slide right in.
35mm strap: Wider than average strap at the top of the boot to help keep the boot together and to give good performance while skiing.
Micro-adjustable aluminum buckles: These aluminum buckles can be moved to adjust for size, so if the default position of the buckle and the teeth is too wide or too narrow, you can move it until it fits.
Full Grip System: Textured toe and heel pads, as well as a rubberized piece under the boot that grips slippery stairs and uneven walkways.
Replaceable Toe and Heel Pads: This is a must-have for skiers that don't live in ski in/ski out condos. When your ski tech tells you that you have to buy new boots because the soles are worn down too much, just laugh at him and tell him to order you a new set of sole plates.
SOMA-Tec: The positioning of the feet in a SOMA boot is in a natural 'V' shape, with the toes pointed slightly outward, and the heels slightly inward. This positioning puts the skier's center of gravity over the middle of the ski for better control and edging power. This design also creates less stress on the knee and ankle joints.

The property valuation reports provide a true opinion of market value, by comparing the property with known sale and asking prices of similar properties in the locality. It is taking into account the strength of the market, any special features and the condition of the subject property and the comparable.
It will take into account the critical issues listed in the report which have a negative impact on the value of the property that are not always considered in the sale price.
The Property Valuation Report is out of the scope of the Building Survey.
For this kind of work, I would like you please contact through the link showed in my web page an independent Chartered Valuation Surveyor called Phillip Chesler, FRICS.

Thesis Title
Glaciomarine sediment flux and transportation mechanisms, Kronebreen/Kongsvegan, Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Robert J. Carson; Nicholas E. Bader
Arctic tidewater glaciers are likely to respond rapidly to changes in climate, due to a variety of climate forcing mechanisms. This study is designed to assess how these glaciers are now responding to these changes. We collected marine sediment samplesnear Kronebreen/Kongsvegan, a polythermal subpolar tidewater glacier in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, over the summer melt season of 2009. CTD/OBS and meteorological data were also collected to characterize this dynamic Arctic system. One-to-three-day modern sediment records were collected near the top, the middle, and the bottom of the fjord water column with mooring locations ranging in depth from 20 to 120 m below sea level. Accumulation rates from the bottommost sediment traps of 380, 220, and 160 kg/m2/yr were found at 0.45, 0.75, and 1.00 km, respectively, from theice-marginal delta on the southern edge of Kronebreen/Kongsvegan. Sedimentationrates appear to decrease logarithmically away from the ice-marginal delta. Couplets of coarse and _ne sediment were found in sediment traps from the meltwater sediment plume indicating a diurnal meltwater discharge pattern. The couplets may be due more to solar incidence than to temperature and precipitation. Tidal current velocity may play a role in differerentiating coarse and ne particles as they are released from the meltwater sediment plume, but there is not sufficient evidence to test for this fully.

Hi! Thanks for joining me for week 26 of Tuesday Training! I finally found a great intervals app for running last week. If you're a Samsung phone user, try HIIT interval trainer. You can customize the times for each interval, add or take away a countdown, and select the transition sounds. It has been super helpful to get me through a workout!
We've had some crummy weather lately, so I haven't been able to get out and run as much as I've wanted to. Remember when I introduced you to Jeanette Jenkins in week 16? I'm bringing her back for another workout! This is basically a longer version of the week 16 workout, so if you haven't done that one yet, I'd start there first. This video will require 45 minutes and a yoga mat. If you're looking for a great cardio sculpt, look no further: Burn 500 Calories in 45 Minutes With This Cardio and Sculpting Workout
Don't forget that you can view all of the Tuesday Training videos in one place HERE.
Today's a double post day, so make sure to check out my Show and Tell Tuesday post HERE.
I'll see you back here tomorrow to wrap up June with What's Up Wednesday. See you soon!

WASHINGTON -- Investment advisors and broker-dealers should be held to a common standard of fiduciary care when serving retail clients, and the SEC should increase examinations to ensure that firms are adhering to those rules, says commission Chairwoman Mary Jo White.
In an on-stage interview at the Investment Company Institute's general membership meeting, White reaffirms her support for a uniform fiduciary standard for the advisory sector, though she emphasizes that that view is hers alone. It is not necessarily shared by the other commissioners, she explains, some of whom have expressed skepticism about the wisdom of a new rule.
White also underscores the challenges of overseeing the RIA sector -- now numbering more than 11,000 federal registrants -- with limited resources, voicing qualified support for a framework for deputizing a third-party organization to help review advisory practices.
"Really for decades, the SEC's had the resources challenge of being able to sufficiently examine
investment advisors," she says. White notes that even amid efforts to better marshal technology and reallocate staff within the commission, the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations is still unable to meet its mark. "Net-net we are still only able to cover 10 % of investment advisors" in a given year, she says.
The third-party approach might be the best solution to the exam shortfall under the circumstances, though White notes that she has been advocating for greater funding for the commission to beef up the examination division, among other priorities. She has directed staffers to develop a proposal for how a third-party system might work in practice, tackling questions like how the examiners would be selected, what the exams would cover and which advisors would be subject to third-party reviews. She makes it plain, however, that any third-party system would only serve as a complement to the work that OCIE performs.
"I don't think it's optimal, by the way, to go to the third-party exams, because actually the SEC exam staff does this best -- I think they are expert at it," she adds. "I think they know what to look for, and this certainly would not supplant them even as to somebody who might receive a third-party exam, would mean our OCIE examiners couldn't go there as well."
Separately, White announced a personnel change within the senior ranks of the agency, naming David Grim as the new director of the Division of Investment Management. Grim had been holding the position on an interim basis.
Speaking with reporters on the sidelines of the ICI conference, White praised Grim, an SEC veteran, as "highly respected ... both within the building and outside in the industry."
"I'm thrilled about the appointment. He has 20 years -- a very deep -- investment-management experience. We have a very aggressive rulemaking agenda in the IM space, which he knows very, very well and is advancing that," White says. "He's just extraordinarily knowledgeable and very, very well positioned to advance that rulemaking agenda."
White offered a glimpse of that agenda in a speech in December 2014, saying that she intends to advance new rules addressing data reporting, portfolio risks and stress testing in the investment-management arena.
On the RIA front, she remains concerned about the imbalance in regulations that apply to advisors and brokers -- two classes of financial professionals that overlap considerably in the services they offer retail clients, many of whom draw no distinction between the two roles, White argues.
"Anytime you have essentially identical conduct ... that's regulated differently, you've got to think long and hard about whether that makes sense or not," she says.
The Dodd-Frank Act authorized, but did not mandate, the SEC to impose a uniform fiduciary duty in the context of the provision of advice within the retail sector, requiring advisors and brokers to put their clients' interests ahead of their own. In advocating for such a rule, White acknowledges that crafting a framework in accordance with the parameters of that statute, and finding an appropriate level of consumer protection without overregulating the industry, would be "enormously complex."
In particular, she recognizes that any rule would need to accommodate some of the distinct practices of the broker-dealer business model.
"For example, it can't be a per se violation of any uniform fiduciary duty that we may impose that you charge a commission or that you engage in principal transactions, so those are all things that have to be taken into account," she says. "But I do think it's enormously important for the retail investor that they know what the standard is that their financial advisor is operating under and that it is a high standard of fiduciary duty."
But White admits that any new consumer-protection rules requiring brokers and advisors to act in their clients' best interests might be little more than a good idea unless the commission can step up its oversight of the industry, if not through a budget increase, then perhaps through third-party exams.
"If we do, as I'm advocating that we do, advance a uniform fiduciary standard that does apply to investment advisors, and would apply to investment advisors in terms of the new standard," she says, "but if it's not complied with, if it's not enforced, it's just a standard on paper, so you really have to have a strong compliance, enforcement piece to this for it to be meaningful."
