Being appreciated without expectation is refreshing.
My nine-year-old woke up in the middle of the night Wednesday with the stomach flu. She got sick 10 or more times during a 24-hour period. Three throw-up bowls were in the rotation because I couldn't clean them fast enough.
In the midst of it, she walked to the kitchen sink, where I was washing two of the three bowls, and handed me a handmade thank-you note. I was stunned.
"I'm your mommy," I told her. "That's my job."
She smiled, gave me a hug and returned to the couch.
On the inside, the card says, "You are always there for me. Thank you so much!"
That thoughtful gesture changed my day. I was not only turned around from the sudden change in our usual schedule, but also exhausted. I was in auto-mom mode, cleaning and trying to make her comfortable. I was adhering to the KISS principle, putting my work and to-do list out of my mind and focusing on where I was needed. To know that she sincerely appreciated it warmed my heart and made me feel special.
Someone is doing something nice for you. It could be a loved one, taking care of you when you're sick, or a restaurant server pampering you for 45 minutes by seeing to it that your beverage glass is constantly full. Try not to take it for granted!
Please, tell that person in your life – whether it's a loved one or someone you encounter for just a few minutes – thank you for doing what they do. It could make their day, or at least put a smile on their face.

When I was growing up, my dream was to one day become a veterinarian. In fourth and fifth grade, I volunteered every day after school at a veterinarian's clinic. I didn't view it as an "internship" — in my mind, I was apprenticing for a certain future in the field. When I was 10, I asked for an incubator for Christmas. By spring, I was carting around a dozen baby chicks in my purple doll stroller. In middle school I walked dogs at the local animal shelter. But as I got older, there was college, summer travel, then my first real job, at a law firm in France. I was entering the "real world," as they say in commencement speeches. And there was no room in my adult life for a dog.
Then, a year and a half ago, came my cancer diagnosis, and with it the return home. I found myself pleading with my parents for a puppy, just as I'd done as a child. But I knew the medical reality: My weakened immune system, the result of chemotherapy, made getting a dog impossible. My doctors didn't even think twice about rejecting the prospect, though I still made it a point of asking every few months.

"The Storm" hits Maine senators' offices
"The Storm" hits Maine senators' offices
By Luis Hestres
By 1Sky organizer Greg Brown. -- Luis
What a great week for clean energy and green jobs progress here in Maine! Senate office visits and letter drops, a press conference and conversations with Governor Baldacci, veterans for energy security panel discussions...the list goes on. (See pics at the end of this post.)
On Thursday March 26, 1Sky coorganized a press conference that featured Portland Mayor Nick Mavodones and Governor Baldacci, highlighting the necessity of clean energy and sustainability for a healthy economy. I looked pretty sharp on the CBS and NBC newscast that night if I may say so ;)
Then on Monday, 15 intrepid souls braved 30 MPH winds, driving rains and 35 degree temperatures (a storm in itself) to "storm" the office of Senator Olympia Snowe and urge that Maine's senior senator sign a to commitment to protect the Clean Air Act. We were graciously received by Sen. Snowe's regional director, Cheryl Leeman, who also accepted 40 letters from environmentally concerned citizens. We were then blown -- literally -- across the plaza to Senator Collin's office where we delivered another 40 letters.
The afternoon found us at the University of Southern Maine at our friendly climate partner event featuring Operation Free, The Veteran's for American Power Tour. MC'd by USM President Selma Botman, the panel discussion featured veterans explaining to a group of receptive students and representatives from both the Snowe's and Collins' offices how U.S. energy policy finances the terrorists we battle. This was on NBC that night at 6 and 11 and will appear in the student paper, The Free Press.
Let's keep up the fight, my friends!

I really do not get the obsession with portability.
It's not about being obsessed with portability, it's about having the choice to take it on my commute for instance, or with me when I go away for a weekend. I even sometimes play a few games of Splatoon whilst watching something on TV.

UK Credit Report Overload Dealt With
In the UK there are 3 credit agencies, of varying importance to the average consumer. One of the challenges of trying to master you credit score and ensure that you get the best deals on credit, is that you need to do this for at least the top two agencies Experian and Equifax. The reason is that when lending decisions are made, the lender chooses which provider they will consult, so just fixing one doesn't ensure that you are covered. Call Credit, the smallest, is still significant, but not to the same extent as the largest two.
What makes Check My File's multi-agency credit reporting service so good is that it provides information from all three, which makes this (a) much easier to do and (b) cheaper. Cheaper by quite a bit. The monthly service costs just £7.99 a month after the 30 day free trial. That is a steal, but is it too good to be true? The answer is yes, and no. There are definite pro's and cons. You don't get all of the information you need, as you don't get your Experian credit score, and communication with the credit agencies isn't possible. This is very important if there is a lot wrong with your credit report, and lots of errors that need to be addresses.
However, what people seem to be doing is using the the Check My File monthly service as a central reporting tool to identify problems and monitor their progress across all reports. Then where there are problems that need to be fixed, users are signing up to the relevant agency directly to correct all of the mistakes in one hit, and then carry on using CheckMyFile to monitor progress. Check My File's multi agency report is a great tracking tool, and definitely something for the long term. As most of us need credit from the age of 20 to approximately 50, it is a solution that makes sense for the long term. Let's be honest, it is only £7.99 a month. If this is too expensive, you have bigger problems to focus on. If its not, then we think it's a tiny price to pay for this kind of on-going visibility.
No Access to Experian Credit Score
For some reason, and we suspect financial, the main Experian Credit Score doesn't seem to be included or available through Check My File. This can be a big downside, as if you want it you'll have to go to Experian directly in addition to CheckMyFile. Our feeling on this is that because you can track your credit report from Experian through CheckMyFile.com you can see whats going on. This combined with the fact that you have total visibility into the other 2 agencies, leaves us feeling like you may not need the Experian Score. Or more specifically that 50% of people wont. If you report is fairly healthy, and you are managing it well. If there are no major errors and your credit scores with CallCredit and Equifax are good, then chances are, your Experian score will be also.
It's only for people that are at the beginning of the journey, or that have more volatile or just poor credit scores, that will need access to the Experian score, and for those people both is the best option. You wont have to sign up to Equifax though, so the cost associated with Equifax can be switched to CheckMyFile. In these early stages or getting on track, the cost of Experian and CheckMyFile will be around £22 a month for the two, but given how serious the situation is at that point, this seems reasonable, and can be adjusted once you get on top of things.
Great Features of the CheckMyFile Multi Agency Reports
Because CheckMyFile include more data, there are some really cool reports within the interface that help you really start to understand what lenders care about when making that all important decision. We review each of the major features separately within Credit Geeks, but list them here. You can not only see whats on your credit report from each agency, you can compare and contrast them. This can be very enlightening:
- Check your Use of Credit over time
- 7 Different Credit Related scores
- Compare Credit Reports from each agency
- Track your payment History and predict when CCJ's will be removed from your credit-file
- Identity Theft Assistance
- Benchmark your score versus the rest of the UK population
- Monitor your available credit versus the credit you have used
- See who else affects you, and all of your financial affiliations
The underlying information is the same as you'd get from each credit-agency, because it comes from them. There are areas where the information you get through CheckMyFile is shallower than going direct, but this isn't a huge drawback, as the most important bits are all there. For 60% of people this will be sufficient, and for most it will be perfect for the tracking overall, with some info from different agencies depending on your circumstances.
In short, we welcome this product. It makes monitoring your credit file much easier, which encourages you to use it more and get the most out of it. It's cheaper than getting all three reports separately, and it includes your credit scores from Equifax and Call-Credit. In up-coming articles we will delve deeper into the features of the multi-agency report.

Better, but Not Bigger
German Banks Aren't Likely To Merge Until Profits Rise Further
As German banks complete their cost-cutting programs, talk in Frankfurt is turning to the possibility of big mergers. But before any deals are signed, banks must do still more to boost profits.
Germany's major banks, including HVB Group and Commerzbank AG, have managed to stabilize their businesses and avoid a financial crisis by cutting costs and shedding risks. But they still trail many of their European rivals in profitability, and generate comparatively little revenue because of Germany's weak economy and crowded banking...

Parents and carers can make a real difference in ensuring their children are safer in the road environment.
It will take many years for young children to develop the skills and knowledge they need to be on their own in the traffic environment and to keep themselves safe.
Children up to about 10 years of age are at particular risk of pedestrian injury. This is because they are small in size, and are still learning to detect the presence of traffic and to judge the speed and distance of traffic.
So make sure that young children are closely supervised by an adult when in the road environment.
Visit the VicRoads website for tips on how to be a safe pedestrian and keep your children safe.
Walk with your children
Children, assisted by adults, need regular practice in the real road environment. Walking with children to and from school, around the block or to the local shops can help develop children's skills in the road environment.
As you walk together, ask children simple questions that encourage thinking and reflection, for example:
VicRoads has produced two new road safety education storybooks and related apps by renowned Australian author Danny Katz and illustrated by Mitch Vane. Parents and carers can share the engaging books and free apps with their children to encourage conversation and learning about road safety.
For tips on how to help teach your children about road safety, view Primary school road safety education resources.
When picking up your child from the bus, wait on the same side of the road that the bus drops them off and meet your children at the bus stop.
This reduces the risk of them running across the road to meet you without checking the road first.
Bus travel is one of the safest ways to travel to school, but it is important to help your children to learn how to stay safe on and around buses. Visit Stay Bus Safe Around the Bus Stop for tips.

**1/2 (out of four)
When self-described "railway enthusiast" Eric Lomax (Colin Firth) meets Patti (Nicole Kidman) on a European train, the chemistry instantly sizzles, "Before Sunrise"-style. They bond over transportation and traveling. She almost immediately gets him to shave his mustache, holding her kisses hostage until he obliges.
What the former nurse can't get the man she soon marries to do, however, is open up about a traumatic past that sparks terrified visions and violent outbursts. In extended flashback sequences, "The Railway Man" shifts to the Far East in the early '40s, when a younger Eric (Jeremy Irvine of "War Horse") and his fellow English soldiers become WWII POWs and are forced to work on a railway between Thailand and what then was Burma. If this sounds familiar, it's because the film, based on Lomax's book of the same name, is based on a true story. Director Jonathan Teplitzky renders wartime footage with reasonable credibility, showcasing the torture that made broken men out of leaders and lingered in Eric's mind for decades without shoving our faces in agony.

My name is Christine and I'm super excited to be blogging for the women's center. 😀
I'm a sophomore at the U but I'm working towards an undergraduate degree in Genetics, Cell biology, and Development. I might be enrolled as a science person but I think writing will always be my mistress.
So a little bit about me: I'm a full time student, part time shark enthusiastic, and an all-time Harry Potter trivia buff. Let's get a few things straight; I prefer tea over coffee, cats over dogs, zippers over shoelaces, you know the drill. When I'm not blogging in my free time I'm usually playing video games or binge-watching cartoons. I also tend to have a lot of arts-y hobbies: knitting, drawing, etc. and can pick up pretty much any type of craft-y activity.
Above all else though, I love to read; you can usually find me loitering in the nearest bookstore. What do I read, you ask? I'm pretty open to anything, from comics to classics. I used to be really into fantasy/fiction but nowadays I think I'm moving more towards sci-fi and nonfiction. I'm still a fan of fiction, but I prefer adult fiction over teen these days. Whatever the genre, you ever need book recommendations I'm your girl.
So why am I here? It's only within the last few years that I've come to realize just how problematic our society truly is regarding the treatment of women. The problems with unequal treatment of genders has become so ingrained in our culture; these things are not pointed out to us and therefore feel so natural. It is not until it was pointed out to me that I began to realize just how wrong the entire situation is. Now that I have seen what is truly going on, I cannot stop seeing instances of sexism, etc. in my everyday life and the fact that I had not noticed before is appalling. From there, my research into feminism opened the door for me into social justice. I want to create that same moment of realization for other people, in the hopes that proper education will lead to change. Wish me luck!

A Victorian boarding school story, a Gothic mansion mystery, a gossipy romp about a clique of girlfriends, and a dark other-worldly fantasy—jumble them all together and you have this complicated and unusual first novel.
Sixteen-year-old Gemma has had an unconventional upbringing in India, until the day she foresees her mother's death in a black, swirling vision that turns out to be true. Sent back to England, she is enrolled at Spence, a girls' academy with a mysterious burned-out East Wing. There Gemma is snubbed by powerful Felicity, beautiful Pippa, and even her own dumpy roommate Ann, until she blackmails herself and Ann into the treacherous clique. Gemma is distressed to find that she has been followed from India by Kartik, a beautiful young man who warns her to fight off the visions. Nevertheless, they continue, and one night she is led by a child-spirit to find a diary that reveals the secrets of a mystical Order. The clique soon finds a way to accompany Gemma to the other-world realms of her visions "for a bit of fun" and to taste the power they will never have as Victorian wives, but they discover that the delights of the realms are overwhelmed by a menace they cannot control. Gemma is left with the knowledge that her role as the link between worlds leaves her with a mission to seek out the "others" and rebuild the Order.
(no spoilers!)
Let's start off by saying that I fell in love with Libba Bray's writing style. A lot of times I was amazed how beautiful she could describe the simplest of things. She could make a frog seem attractive if she wanted to.
I started reading this story not really knowing anything, except that it takes place in London and it had something to do with a group of four girls. I loved going into this books without knowing anything more than that.
I didn't expect the book to have a dark vibe to it, but I – for some reason – really like those kinds of books.
The story takes place in 19th century London. That was one of the main reasons I wanted to read this book. The world building was great. I have no doubt London at that time was as gloomy and mysterious as described in this book.
The first half of the book went quite slow. There was a lot 'building up' going on. I was waiting and waiting for things to get on. It wasn't until I reached about the middle of the book when things started to go down. I also have the bad habit of reading little bits and then wait for a long period before reading further. That may also be the reason why it seemed to go slow.
Other than that, I loved the story. The world building was great. The characters had depth. There were some plot twists I didn't see coming. It was perfect!
I adored the cast of this story. Not because they were nice (they weren't) but because they were all different and had their own stories to tell. I understand it could've come off as stereotypical to some readers, but I found them quite entertaining. They were surely not boring. I also enjoyed reading about the struggles of teenage girls, like having a crush and body issues.
Gemma was the most relatable character to me. Her character – all of the characters, really – could've easily been based off someone living in this time. Which is not that abnormal when you think of it. Our knowledge of the world has grown to this day. However, I don't think we are totally different people than the ones that existed hundreds of years ago. It's not like our brains have gotten bigger. It is the circumstances that made us see things in a different perspective. Do you get what I mean? I find it quite hard to put this into words.
I was convinced the four girls, Gemma, Ann, Felicity, and Pippa, did not feel like they could fully trust one another. It was also not to be this way, I think. Some had issues with this, but I didn't. It came off as truthful and honest. To put your trust in someone to tell your darkest secrets and most private thoughts take a lot of courage and trust.
I really enjoyed this book! I am not overjoyed, but that could be because it wasn't a feel good book. I think the darkness of this book had me under its spell for a little while longer. I definitely turned the last page thinking this was a really well-written book. Libba Bray is a wonderful author. I'll definitely pick up one of her other books soon, after I read the hundred other books I want to read at this moment.
Thank you so much for reading!

Regional Australian Environmental Accounts Trial
Environmental accounts provide critical information to enable society to understand the current state and trends in condition of land, freshwater, coastal and marine resources, at scales appropriate for informing policy and investment decisions.
The Australian Regional Environmental Accounts Trial was undertaken by Natural Resource Management bodies across Australia between 2011 and 2015, in conjunction with NRM Regions Australia, the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, universities and government agencies. The trial tested the environmental accounting framework called Accounting for Nature (2008), and the necessary processes and procedures to implement a national program of environmental accounting in Australia.
Ten NRM regions compiled regional accounts using the asset condition accounting method described in the Quick Guide (2013). This method used a common unit of measure, the Econd, to quantify the condition of environmental assets. Accounts produced during the trial were developed for assets within land, freshwater, coastal and marine environments. Accounts were reviewed and accredited by scientific committees following the Accounting for Nature model, to provide credibility and confidence in the data for decision making.
The trial successfully demonstrated the utility of the Accounting for Nature approach, as outlined in the reports Evaluation of the Australian Regional Environmental Accounts Trial and the Technical Analysis of the Australian Regional Environmental Accounts Trial. These reports also document the lessons learned, key findings and contributions from the trial towards the field of environmental asset condition accounting.
The trial demonstrated that it is practical and feasible to create asset condition accounts using a common environmental currency to simplify nature's complexity without reducing the rigour of scientific measurement. This information is critical for informing complex natural resource management, policy and investment decisions at multiple scales.

This is the easiest way to get on the Grigna starting from the "Vò di Moncodeno" , just beyond the refuge Cainallo. About 6 km and 1000 meters of ascent, you'll see the Como Lake only at the top, but for those who do not want to take any risk it's the best way to climb to the summit.
Leave the car in the square that lies beyond the refuge Cainallo and walk on easy path until junction leading to the shelter Bietti. Let's go left and keep walking on the trail 25 leading to refuge Bogani, reached after less than 3km walk amd about 400 meters difference in height on quite simple, partially in the woods.
After the refuge the slope begins to rise and the trees thin out, the ground is almost all on the gravel, it is not easy to walk on it. We pass a Madonna and continue on the path, following both the colored markings on the rocks and the poles to be followed in case of snow. We arrive at the junction with the trail 24 that leads from the ridge Piancaformia and keep walking without much difficulty, the main problem is the gravel we walk on but there are the chains helping us on some sections.
At the top the refuge Brioschi welcomes us, 2410 meters high, unfortunately in the mist; with the sun, the view would look like this

Knowledge Mobilisation theme
Supporting the co-creation of clinically informed, relevant research; evidence informed commissioning; and the integration of research evidence into clinical practice.
Considerable funds are spent on healthcare research in the UK, yet there is consistent evidence demonstrating that research findings either fail to become integrated into standard care, or that clinical and cost-effective outcomes demonstrated in empirical research are infrequently replicated in practice.
Our new over-arching theme of 'Knowledge Mobilisation' seeks to facilitate the integration of evidence-based interventions into practice, and to understand the processes that affect the successful dissemination and translation of newly acquired knowledge. This can improve both healthcare and the societal impact of our research.
Our team have strong partnership working with local clinical commissioning organisations, and in particular Avon Primary Care Research Collaborative, who have made significant investment in our work. We have a record of funding from NIHR and major UK charitable organisations to facilitate research in this area. Our staff also run an M-level module in 'Knowledge Mobilisation'.
For further details of our work or to discuss potential collaborative opportunities please contact Professor Nicola Walsh at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm With Stupid – May 29, 2015
by Todd Hartley
I have to admit that I'm a big fan of the senior prank, that time-honored tradition of doing something extra stupid just before you graduate high school. I consider it a much cooler rite of passage than the prom, which is downright barbaric. But it can't be just any old prank. It's got to be something clever, memorable, group-oriented and light on vandalism.
My high school class' senior prank was to build a couple of cinder-block walls and seal off two wings of the school. It wasn't a great prank, admittedly, Read the rest of this entry →

My father, an immigrant from Russia, spent his first summer in the New World threshing wheat from dawn to near midnight on the flat Canada prairie. Long before the advent of two-story combines, threshing was a backbreaking job, high-energy work demanding high-energy input—beginning with a breakfast of four eggs, slabs of farm-cured pork, lard-fried potatoes, home- baked bread with butter and jam, and glasses of full-fat milk.
My arteries cringe.
But if you ignore the actual ingredients of my father's morning meal, he did have the right idea: A good breakfast is the best way to kick-start your day. What's considered "good?" Most nutritionists agree that whole foods—whole grains, whole fruits (as opposed to juice) and nuts—provide the soundest breakfast. They leave you feeling full, yet not stuffed, and release energy gradually instead of producing a carbo high that crashes into a sugar low two hours later, leaving you defenseless against sugar- and fat-loaded midmorning donuts and lattes. Whole foods also add fiber and trace nutrients, perhaps the most important being the many antioxidant phytochemicals found in fruits.
These recipes favor a nutrient-rich approach to fuel long summer days. None are high in fat or overloaded with protein, and each sparkles with flavor-packed, antioxidant-rich fruits, nuts or seeds. All are simple to make. Several of the recipes freeze well and thaw rapidly, ready for breakfast when you're too sleepy or rushed to spend much time cooking.

A raging debate is expected in April`s Wisconsin Conservation public hearings over the future of an extended deer season.
Those who oppose the seven-day extension say low kill figures of 11,105 during the period indicate the Department of Natural Resources might have miscalculated the size of the Wisconsin herd. They say the extension only intensified hunting pressure in key areas without doing much to thin the herd. DNR sources, however, feel the extension was justified and that analysis of hunting figures will show marked improvement in herd management. They indicate further changes are being considered, such as a longer or earlier season or the issuing of permits by zone to control hunter density. DNR wildlife managers are expected to make a preliminary report when they meet Jan. 18 with the Conservation Congress Big Game Study Committee, followed by an Executive Council meeting Jan. 25.

Story-telling and Story-making
Our Early Years Programmes are led by professional storytellers and drama facilitators, with expertise and experience at working with this age group.
Each Programme is inter-active and child-focused, and planned to offer infants a strong dramatic play framework.
This inspires them to respond creatively, while developing their emotional literacy and cognitive skills.
Our inputs also offer EY practitioners a wealth of ideas for creative follow up work after our visit.
"Fantastic! Great fun…All children got involved…Very inclusive and entertaining for all. It raised children's confidence and explored feelings and senses"
"Thank you for the fantastic drama …it was wonderful – the children were enthralled for the whole time they were with you"
– Reception Class Teachers, Pokesdown Primary School
Programmes include
Hot Hippo
Based on the multi-cultural story by Mwenye Hadithi, this drama combines storytelling with African percussion, singing and a very cuddly hippo puppet. Children work together to help Hot Hippo persuade the fierce Ngai, Lord of Everything and Everywhere, to let him go and swim in the water. They also learn to listen and take turns in speaking out and moving, while role- playing as fishes swimming under water and as their favourite creatures in the air, on land and underground.
The Hungry Caterpillar
Drawing on the popular children's picture book, this programme involves children meeting an colourful scientist called Mr. Green, who has a new discovery to share with them. After finding out what they know about caterpillars – through sharing the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar – Mr. Green shows them the giant caterpillar he has discovered in the woods! To find out where it comes from and what it's called, the children climb inside the Giant Caterpillar and move about the hall. Finally they become giant butterflies, dancing with shiny scarves and music.
Who Made the Three Bears Sad?
One of our most popular programmes, this features a full set and one of Baby Bear's parents, trying to cheer him up after the visit of Goldilocks. After hearing the story told after the event, the children are invited to help mend Baby Bear's broken chair and think up ways of making him smile again – a chance for them to think creatively and come up with jokes, cuddles, songs and 'porridge-making'. Finally, they travel through the magic woods to Goldilocks' cottage – and help her learn to say sorry.
Queen of Hearts (Castles)
This programme has been devised to support Year 1 (5-6 year olds) curriculum work on the Castles topic, though it can also be enjoyed by any group as a story drama in its own right. After work on shape-making – castle walls, battlements, port cullises – children meet the Queen of Hearts, who asks them to make some special tarts for an important visitor. They then cook the tarts and leave them to cool over night. Next morning they discover the tarts have been stolen, and have to search for the Knave of Hearts and persuade him to return them before the guests arrive. With colourful props and costumes, this is an adventure story that engages and stimulates children's imagination and capacity for problem-solving.
Jack and the Beanstalk
Children encounter Jack when he has grown up. He tells them of his earlier adventures and invites them to journey up to the skies themselves to search for more treasure.
Each child decides on their own new magic mode of transport and acts out their great adventure – before reporting back in role to Jack.

Winter 2017-2018, Mexico twice, Panama twice, Cuba and Florida once.
The forgotten People of Panama by tour guide Victor Peretz.
Well, let me share with you some important details about El Chorrillo.
On December 20th, 1989, President George Bush launches Operation Just Cause and has sent US forces into the Central American country of Panama in a bid to oust dictator Manuel Noriega.
El Chorrillo is on the water's edge in Panama City, not far from the entrance to the Panama Canal. Many of the canal's builders -- immigrants from the Caribbean -- lived here. Decades later the neighborhood was poor and dangerous because of the invasion in that time, home to teachers and clerks, as well as hustlers who sold contraband cigarettes or beer stolen from the American military bases.
Although many people moved out after the invasion, there are still others who stayed and recall the 1989 attack.
They were caught unawares, they said, when they heard American helicopters coming over the hills and waterfront. Members of the Dignity Battalions, armed civilians sworn to protect General Noriega's Panama, scrambled.
Some residents said the Americans urged them to leave the neighborhood. Others said they had cringed inside their homes, while people on the street tried to get into any home they could, or rushed to the local church.
When the government and private investors started seeing the potential of this area, they started removing the poor people from this area. Many of them moved to El Chorrillo, only a stone's throw away from Casco Viejo.
Get off the beaten path with me and see where boxer Roberto Duran trained and our local panamanian soccer player who will be representing Panama in the World Cup 2018, learn about how the U.S. invasion of Panama affected this neighborhood since 1989, try local food and drinks, visit the park where dominoes are played, chat with the locals in their homes and get to know the people of this area, and learn about the gentrification that has taken place in the now trendy Casco Viejo historic district.
That's how the gang members took the control of the neighborhood of El Chorrillo. I wanted to show to travellers
something that goes beyond typical tourist places, like the Canal and Casco Viejo. So I started
offering different tours. One of them caught my attention immediately: The Walking Tour through El Chorrillo.
The idea is to show tourists the real side of Panama: the local people, their living conditions and culture. I run the tour under the slogan:
During the tour, visitors can also find old colonial buildings, but they are not renovated since they have been built. There are apartment buildings, with colorful, but mostly old facades, where freshly washed clothes are hanging for drying. Some houses are sporadically made of wood, almost falling apart. Travellers will see a lot of street art about sports, people of El Chorrillo and some who remind of the US invasion.
Let me tell you about the local history, daily life and living conditions of the locals. I will show you the sports hall, where the famous boxer Roberto "Hands of stone" Duran trained and other places that are related to sport, especially to football. The locals love it and are proud that a few "Chorrilleros" became famous athletes.
The neighborhood is very lively, with children running around in the streets, people chatting and Latin music sounds in every corner. Locals always will greet you friendly with a smile. So we will stop a few times.
We will also visit a Police station, where Victor's weekly program "Educate Me and You Educate A Nation", is taking place. The idea is to get the kids away from the street and give them a place to learn and play. Especially tourists are welcome to interact with the kids and learn English with them. I want the locals and tourists to connect, exchange knowledge from different countries, traditions and cultures. You can meet the kids, help to educate them and have an authentic experience in Panama. The program is quite new, but I want to develop it with more and different classes in English, music and art. In the long term I plan to educate and empower also the mothers of the children.
The locals are very friendly and welcoming and You will feel safe with me. For sure, it's not as safe as Casco Viejo to walk around as a tourist – especially after sunset. You will have a very good experience there, where you will take home more than souvenir, You will take home memories to share.
After walking around in El Chorrillo, I will bring you back to our starting point (Plaza Herrera, Casco Viejo). The tour takes around 1,5 hours and it's 40 USD. If you are interested in seeing another, non-touristy side of Panama or spend time with the kids of this area, connect with me on Facebook @Local in PTY or send me an E-Mail. I guarantee you an amazing, unique and authentic experience in Panama City!
Any other question you have, let me know.
Best regards,
Víctor A. Pérez M.
Founder & CEO

A Clay County man has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in a case related to vote-fraud charges against several local officials.
Richard Brian Hubbard was charged with sending a threatening photo of himself holding a gun to two people who have cooperated in the investigation of the officials. Investigators say the photo was sent via MySpace.
Hubbard later told the FBI that he was on the witnesses' friends list and that he had not learned their identities from Charles Wayne Jones, an election official charged in the vote-fraud case.
Those statements were not true, Hubbard acknowledged in pleading guilty Monday in federal court in London.
Charges related to threatening the witnesses will be dropped when Hubbard is sentenced in October, according to his plea agreement.
Those charged with scheming to buy votes in Clay County are Jones; former Circuit Judge R. Cletus Maricle; school Superintendent Douglas Adams; county Clerk Freddy Thompson; William Stivers, who has been an election officer; and Bart Morris and his wife Debra, who own a waste-hauling company.
All have pleaded not guilty.
Paul Bishop, a former election officer, has pleaded guilty.

A Peak Inside Lisbon Psych Fest 2016
This April, Portugal sees the return of Lisbon Psych Fest. Taking place in the vibrant heart of the coastal metropolis, the event will gather international musicians as well as mind expanding visual artists in the culturally rich Bairro Alto neighbourhood. We caught up with organiser Tommy from Killer Mathilda to delve into the genesis of the festival. The Fuzz Club presence is strong this year, with The Underground Youth, 10 000 Russos, The Orange Revival, and TAU all slated to appear. Pre-sale tickets are still available on the official site.
What motivated the originators of this festival to create this event?
Tommy: Basically, we're a group of friends who grew up in Lisbon with some of us having different international backgrounds living in the US, UK, Sweden, and elsewhere, but finally settled in Lisbon. In rediscovering our hometown we realised there exists a certain potential in terms of venues and spaces for projects like these. Being back in Lisbon opened up an opportunity and desire to export that same experience in a way. We also went to the first edition of Levitation France in Angers back in 2013.
We've always listened to rock & roll - from more folky rhythm and blues to psychedelic stuff....always trying to discover old and new scenes. So witnessing a psych revival with different bands, labels and festivals appearing all over, gave us a desire to follow it and try to do something of the same nature in our hometown. Furthermore, we saw Lisbon as an obvious but sometimes neglected stop on European touring circuits for small independent bands. We just wanted to be a part of something, having bands over that we like and put up some great parties which Lisbon definitely has a touch for. Ultimately, just wanting to be involved somehow in the cultural renaissance of Lisbon through music.
Above: 10 000 Russos, Fuzz Club Festival 2015
What type of experience is Lisbon Psych Fest aiming to create?
We're a small indoor festival which gathers bands of a similar psych genre under the same roof for two days. We like the idea of gathering improbable bands from very different cultural background but that nevertheless relate to each other under the psych umbrella. For instance, this year we'll be having Chui Wan from Beijing, China, as well as Chicos de Nazca from Santiago, Chile. Basically, gathering a diverse range of bands from around the world.
It's also about creating an affordable, indoor, music-centric festival that is in the city centre and outside the typical summer-festival season, and intimate in the sense that musicians, audience and staff all work and interact with each other in a laid back environment.
We work with an amazing venue, unique in the sense that it is housed in a former printing press in one of the oldest neighbourhoods (Bairro Alto) in Lisbon that recently celebrated its 500 year anniversary. It's the coming together of the psych community in the Iberian peninsula and beyond at a unique meeting point.
Above: Chicos de Nazca
What is the general music scene in Lisbon like (as well as the psych/garage/underground scene)?
There's a growing number of bands appearing in Lisbon everyday under different alternative genres and as there are a number of very well-established venues in Lisbon (such as ZDB and Musicbox) - and others more recent, such as Sabotage or Damas - with regular agendas and the steady booking of bands has enabled a good flow of concerts all year a long, which of course gives the opportunity for a lot of emerging bands to play. Coupled with this are a number of new promoters who are also seeking to bring new bands and take advantage of the growing number of venues...
This is also starting to make a difference in breaking away from the sole habit of mainly summer festivals gathering and attracting audiences. In some sense, Lisbon Psych Fest hopes to compliment this phenomena by adding to the agenda as a small time, off season, urban music festival. The paradox these last years in Portugal, is that amid the economic crisis which has meant people have less money to spend, gigs and festivals continue to boom and promoters have the difficult task in trying to make these affordable while at the same time guaranteeing a wide audience.
How did the debut of the festival go for you all? Will there be any expansions or additions from last year?
Our debut went surprisingly very well....good turnout and very positive feedback from the press, and we had a number of people coming from other cities in Portugal as well as from abroad. The bands gave a us really good feedback as well, and they enjoyed besides the festival itself, the opportunity of being in the center of Lisbon and to be able stroll around town for some hours during the day.
This year we're expanding in terms of the lineup, bringing a few bigger names, and adding two kickoff events at the renowned ZDB with a very special guest! As well as at Musicbox with a really interesting Russian band, and an opening act of a great promise in the Portuguese independent music scene: Ghost Hunt. We're expecting to collaborate with some local artists who will display their work at an exhibition within the venue, as well as a pioneer liquid light experiment.
Above: The Orange Revival, Viper Room, Los Angeles California Fall 2015
What things do you look for in bands/artists to put them on the lineup?
Our aim is to promote the local music scene and bands that we perceive could be whisked up into the international psych scene, and maybe LPF might be a first step into touring abroad. We were really happy to see Dreamweapon from Porto do a tour in the UK last year. This year we'll be having Sun Blossoms, Ganso, and Twin Transistors (from Leiria) who we think are really promising emerging acts in Portugal. We're also really excited to have Alek Rein (from Lisbon) and his full band this year, who will be playing his long-awaited first full-length album (out in the Spring).
Above all, we are looking for bands we like and listen to and take into consideration bands that have gotten good feedback in Portugal and played before. We also debut bands that we believe have a unique sound that will last within the genre and beyond. When Pauw and Desert Mountain Tribe played last year, they had only released their EPs, and since then have put out their debut records and played in major festivals such as Liverpool, for instance.
This year we'll have The Orange Revival, a band that has put out some amazing records and we'll surely be seeing them more and more around Europe (with their latest out on Fuzz Club). Amazing Portuguese trio 10 000 Russos. New project by Shaunny (Dead Skeletons and Camera). And of course, Gnod and The Underground Youth who have played before and are already well known.
Stay tuned to the Fuzz Club blog for more upcoming festival updates. The season is nigh!

My client, Terry Ball, slipped away with barely a mention after living on N.C. death row for almost 25 years. I believe his life is worth remembering, and that his story, like all my clients' stories, hold keys to understanding the origins of crime and our shared humanity with people labeled the worst of the worst.
Why North Carolina's death penalty is not for the "worst of the worst"
Prosecutors might tell you they need the death penalty to punish the "worst of the worst." But in practice, that's not how the death penalty is used in North Carolina. Our state spends millions each year to pursue death sentences that are arbitrary and unnecessary, and uses the threat of death as a negotiation tactic to pressure defendants to accept plea bargains — sometimes putting innocent lives on the line.
Living while waiting to die: Writings from inside death row
Meet Paul Brown, a man living while waiting to die. He has been on North Carolina's death row since 2000, awaiting an execution that may never come. He makes no excuses for his crime, and he doesn't lament his punishment. He began writing a few years ago simply to answer the question: How do I make something of the life I have left?
A whirlwind: Visiting with a 5-year-old granddaughter through bars and glass
Guilt rains down on my head like brimstone when I think of the challenges she'll face, knowing that I'm supposed to be there to help her navigate the pitfalls she won't be able to see or anticipate. I try to be creative and say grandfatherly things, and hope they'll somehow make a difference in her life. I know I must speak with assurance even though my own circumstances are tenuous.
Nurturing new life on death row
Death row inmate Paul Brown's lovely tale of geese nesting in the prison yard — and how the hopefulness of new life inspires compassion in condemned men. "Having no contact with our families for such a long time — for some of us, it's been more than 20 years since we've had any meaningful human contact — the instinct to care still comes naturally… Some of us are barely hospitable with each other, yet we're all attentive and accommodating to the birds."
Writings from death row: Witnessing murder at age 10
I can only remember certain sounds. Mrs. Carter was walking back and forth on Savannah Street crying and screaming "Oh God, his poor momma, his poor momma!" Everyone else seemed to be standing as far away as they could, but still trying to see. I suppose I could have been among them, but I was stuck; my eyes glued to the corpse.
Speaking from the grave: Writings from inside death row
Paul Brown has spent 16 years on N.C.'s death row. Recently, he has begun recording the stories of his life. Paul's essays offer no simple conclusions. They are the record of a complicated and broken life. Yet, they speak poignantly to what it means to be human.
Defending the despised, he found humanity
I have spent three decades advocating for convicted murderers, people whose lives have been deemed worthless. However, my career has taught me that executions say less about the criminals than they do about us, the society that carries them out.
NC's death penalty: Going, going, good riddance
Reposted from N.C. Policy Watch's Progressive Voices. By Frank Baumgartner Recently, former President Jimmy Carter called for the abolition of the death penalty based on continued and significant evidence that, just as in 1972, the application of our ultimate punishment is as arbitrary as a lightning strike. North Carolina's recent repeal of the Racial Justice Act […]
N.C.'s crime lab scandal remains unaddressed
Analysts in the State Crime Lab withheld or distorted evidence in at least 230 cases, including 10 in which the defendants were sentenced to death and three that resulted in executions. Five of those defendants remain on death row. This came to light three years ago, but the question remains: What are N.C. prosecutors going to do about it? So far, the answer seems to be very little.

- Primates 2016
- About

- Archives
By David W. Virtue in Nairobi
October 21, 2013
The buzz here is that Archbishop Justin Welby is being regarded by many of the Primates as "Rowan reheated". Apparently, he turned up in Nairobi irritated and angry that he had to stop over to chat with these evangelical Anglicans while enroute to Iceland to meet with a group of Pro-gay Porvoo ecumenical churchmen. He clearly regards these GAFCON Anglicans as not being in step with his view that we can all get along because we all have different sins to wrestle with and we should not single out homosexuals for special opprobrium.
Of course, this belies the fact that it is the homosexual lobby that started this particular battle in the first place while his predecessor screwed the whole issue up so badly, he was forced to step down. While Welby says he opposes gay marriage, he sees a difference between that and civil partnerships and argues that the culture has gone for it; therefore the church needs to rethink its attitude towards homosexuality. We are not living in First Century times, he argues. But keeling over to the culture is precisely what the Early Church did not do. The church does not change or alter its doctrine to accommodate passing fashion.
One priest, who experienced the devastation the gay lobby did to his church, says the whole subject is just Gnosticism redressed in modern garb with a dash of compassion to make gays feel good about what they do.
Other challenges are that Welby just doesn't get the fact that this is spiritual warfare and that Global South leaders are not going to cave into him and his flawed position on sexuality.
To make matters worse, in London on October 17, former New Hampshire gay Bishop Gene Robinson tweeted that he had breakfast with the new Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace, and Morning Prayer in 13th Century chapel.
When VOL inquired of Lambeth Palace for further details, we were told that this was a "private meeting" and therefore the ABC had no comment.
What sort of a signal do you think that sends GAFCON primates like Nigerian archbishop Nicholas Okoh whose 18 million strong province is solidly biblical and solidly opposed to homosexuality? And please don't accuse him of homophobia. He and his fellow archbishops and bishops don't hate homosexuals, they just don't approve of what they do in bed. It's all about hating the sin and loving the sinner.
It's this kind of thing that Welby does that sends these primates into apoplectic fits. On the one hand, Welby comes across as evangelistically driven. Then he cozies up to gays like Robinson to show how inclusive and full of diversity he is. It sends precisely the wrong message to the Communion. In the end, Welby will be the loser. He won't get the support of these GAFCON archbishops. He will permanently sour relations with them, forcing them once again to be no shows when he calls for a gathering of the Primates. He also hasn't signed the Jerusalem Declaration, another missed milestone as it calls for the recognition of the ACNA, something he is apparently not prepared to do despite photo ops here at the cathedral with Archbishop Robert Duncan.
Welby is continuing his shuttle diplomacy. He told us that he will have visited all 37 the provinces by next year. He has yet to visit TEC's Presiding Bishop, which will be a real doozy of an occasion and closely watched, especially as Archbishop Okoh also visits the US from time to time. Okoh won't go near Jefferts Schori, choosing instead to tend to his growing CANA flocks across the country, clearly not giving a damn about crossing borders or phoning KJS or dropping in for tea at 815 2nd Avenue. However, VOL has been told that he will be in Kansas next week. I wonder if he knows anything about trains.
It was Welby, in his first sermon, who said that there was no moral equivalence between gay sex and crossing boundaries, but later modified his statement in a second sermon.
According to the ABC, the structures that lead it are broken. In response to Welby's sermon, Anglican TV guru Kevin Kallsen commented, "Shame on those who are trying to fix the structures and are willing to put order ahead of faith."
One, the former, is clearly prohibited by scripture, the other, noted GAFCON chairman Archbishop Peter Jensen, has to do with the faith and order and faith trumps order any day.
As one scholarly former TEC priest now in ACNA said to me, "If I were given the opportunity to meet Welby, I would ask him if he recognized my priesthood as I had been deposed by Katharine Jefferts Schori and was now a priest in ACNA, a good solid Anglican and former seminary professor. I wonder if he would recognize my orders." We wonder indeed.
Bumped into Nara Duncan who told me her husband Bob Duncan, ACNA Archbishop, was in serious pain due to a tooth abscess. One side of his face was seriously swollen. Late last night we were told over dinner that he had received medical treatment here despite it being a national holiday. A news report that he had been medi-vaced back to the US was inaccurate.
There are now two very different DNA's in the Anglican Communion and they are irreconcilable. The future is yet to unfold.
It is an interesting historical vignette that more than a dozen years ago, PB Frank Griswold flew to London to tell George Carey not to recognize the Anglican Mission in the Americas. In April of this year, just before Welby's installation as the next Archbishop of Canterbury, Fred Hiltz, Canadian Archbishop raced across the Atlantic and pled with Welby not to recognize the ACNA. Things don't change that much, it would seem.
The conservative wing of the Anglican Communion is still sizing Welby up, but this writer believes that the end will not be one he likes. It's hard not to like him, personally, but his views are a stumbling block to full unity. Taking a neutral stand on issues like sexuality is not in the theological DNA of the Africans who make up the bulk of this gathering which includes the messages, music...and it is nearly all African in content and style.
Stay tuned.
