A while back, I wrote about my ebinata and kukuri, offering a wealth of false information.
Of the ebinata, I wrote "I've used it savagely, especially when splitting very big culms of bamboo. This involves driving the tool through inch-thick material by hammering alternately on the spine of the blade and on the tang with another stout piece of bamboo. The tool is not harmed in the least by this rough usage."
Five years of this rough usage have unfortunately wrecked the connection between the blade and the handle, and only some very ingenious work will be able to replace it. However, it did serve magnificently during that time.
Of the kukuri, I wrote "The whole thing, sheath included, is a beautiful piece of workmanship, and the two-tone handle is especially attractive. However, a 12" blade is imposing and heavy, something I began to consider carefully only after I had ordered it. It does chop well, although not vastly better than the ebinata. The handle however fits nicely in the hand".
In fact, it isn't a particularly good piece of workmanship. The steel is rather soft and it doesn't hold an edge very well. Also, in an unplanned confrontation between the kukuri and a concrete wall, the kukuri lost – part of the edge tore and folded over, and a chunk of the 'hardwood' handle chipped off. (I was splitting bamboo against a wall, and the bamboo gave way suddenly.) The handle is not ergonomic either. It's far too thick where the thumb and forefinger grip it.
To replace the ebinata, I got a straight nata. Oh, but this thing is a beauty. Look at the curves on it! It has chopping written all over it.
It's also remarkably compact, and in its case, it fits snugly against the body. The steel is far superior to that of the kukuri, and the handle is a much better shape.
I think I'll try to refrain from using this one as a hammer, and see if it lasts longer than the ebinata.

Second water butt
I originally built my shed so that I could have another roof for collecting rainwater. But having no tank to put the water in, the water simply ran off without purpose. Now I have my 200 l lorry tank however, things all come together rather nicely.
Attached with a hose
Now when it's time to take the water tank to the ditch in the summer for some pumpin' action, it's just a matter of pulling the hose off the gutter and sealing the fitting with the little screw cap that came with it.
But there's a persistent little voice in my head that keeps saying "Another 400 l would be nice...". We'll have to see about that.

Summer veg in autumn
This is the summer veg that we were supposed to be getting from July and August that failed to appear due to lack of water. It feels a bit odd to be eating our first homegrown peppers in November. The mini plum tomatoes are very sweet.

I suspect my child has autism. Where can I go for a diagnosis?
Currently, there is only one place in Bermuda where a family can go to receive a diagnosis of autism or other pervasive developmental disability. That place is The Child and Adolescent Services. The facility contracts with an overseas physician to come on island at periodic times throughout the year to conduct autism diagnostic assessments.
What type of therapy and services does Tomorrow's Voices provide?
The primary models of service delivery at Tomorrow's Voices are behavioural interventions also known as interventions that are Applied Behaviour Analytic in nature. There are a variety of methodologies that fall under the umbrella of ABA such as pivotal response training, modeling, naturalistic teaching, discrete trials, antecedent packages and token economies.
These are just some of the tools we use to change and shape behaviours. As deficits in communication skills are a hallmark of Autism Spectrum Disorders and present in many other developmental disabilities, we have a strong emphasis on the teaching of language. We use an approach called Verbal Behaviour to teach language in all of its component parts.
What is Verbal Behaviour Therapy?
Verbal Behaviour Therapy is a method of applying Applied Behaviour Analytic principles to the teaching of language. In 1957, B.F. Skinner wrote a book entitled Verbal Behaviour in which he broke language down into its component parts called operants. Some of the verbal operants are mands, tacts, intraverbals and echoics.
Our Verbal Behaviour programme uses the principles of ABA to teach verbal language across the verbal operants. We also employ other research based tools and methodologies to teach language and communication.
I've heard that ABA is very strict. Is this true?
ABA is based on good science. As such, it can at times be highly structured, but it is by no means strict. The structure of the programme ensures that we are reliably implementing time tested approaches for changing and shaping behaviours and working to increase adaptive and pro-social behaviours while decreasing maladaptive or problematic behaviours. The use of data collections systems ensures that we are operating in an effective manner.
What are the costs for services?
Our services are highly structured, individualized, delivered in a 1:1 or 1:2 setting and based on research and data. Historically, good ABA services can be quite costly due to the nature and rigor it takes to implement these services with fidelity (integrity).
Because Tomorrow's Voices is a charity, we subsidize 75% of these costs, enabling Bermudian families to get the very best that the research has to offer in terms of intervention services at a highly subsidized and reduced rate. Costs are individualized based on the depth, breadth and frequency of services.
What if I can't afford the tuition? Are there scholarships available?
As mentioned above, Tomorrow's Voices does subsidize 75% of the costs to deliver these therapeutic services. We recognize, that even with a highly subsidized rate, the costs may still be prohibitive for some families. There are several charitable organizations in the community that can help to subsidize these costs. Project 100 is one example of a charitable organisation that can often provide financial assistance.
If my child comes to Tomorrow's Voices, does that mean they won't ever be able to be mainstreamed?
The answer to this question is an emphatic "No." All of the youth within our centre are either mainstreamed half time or fully with Ministry of Education, other Private educational systems or home school programmes. Tomorrow's Voices is an organization that believes in the continuum of educational placements as well as in the philosophy of least restrictive educational placement.
As such, there are some young people who never set foot within our centre. They are served exclusively in their school, in their homes or in the community. There are other young people, who based on their particular educational and/or behavioural profile require a more intensive and structured programme which our centre can provide.
Does my child have to come to your centre in order to receive services?
As stated above, we service youth in a variety of educational placements and settings including private homes, the community, public and private schools, and within the Tomorrow's Voices centre.
Do you only service children with autism?
No. Tomorrow's Voices was founded primarily to meet the needs of youth with autism and PDD, however, it quickly became apparent that many of the youth within our centre had co-morbid (more than one) conditions. Additionally, we realized that our methodologies were useful and effective for youth with a wide range of developmental disabilities.
We have expanded our remit and currently serve youth with autism and other developmental disabilities including, but not limited to youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Downs Syndrome, Intellectual Disabilities (formerly known as mental retardation), Fragile X, and others.
What is the history of Autism support in Bermuda?
The founders of Tomorrow's Voices were the original founders of autism support and education in Bermuda. Prior to 2001 there was a void in Bermuda in terms of information, knowledge and training related to autism. Six years later, it became apparent that it was time to move from theory into practice and that simply knowing about effective interventions was no longer good enough. There was a pressing need to put that knowledge into practice. As a result, in 2007, Tomorrow's Voices opened its doors.

Mortgages performed better in the third quarter than a year ago but quality has tapered off since the second quarter, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said Friday.
Among more than $5 trillion in mortgages outstanding at the largest banks, 88.6% were current and performing in the third quarter, according to the OCC Mortgage Metrics Report. That's up from 88% a year ago but down one basis point since the second quarter due to an increase in early-stage delinquencies. The percent of mortgages that are 30 to 59 days past due jumped more than 10% from the previous quarter and 3.6% from a year earlier.
Bruce Krueger, the OCC's lead mortgage expert, downplayed the increase in early-stage delinquencies, pointing out the numbers appeared higher because the third quarter was several days shorter than the second quarter.
"We do not believe the uptick in the third quarter is any sign of budding problems coming down the road," Krueger said in a conference call. "As we're now in the early stage of the fourth quarter, we can see that delinquencies are reverting back to their normal seasonal trend line."
Krueger pointed to the drop in new foreclosures as the more positive trend and said he expects it to continue as the economy improves. Newly initiated foreclosures fell 16.5% from the previous quarter and 27.4% from a year earlier, to 252,604 in the third quarter. At the same time, seriously delinquent loans were flat from the second quarter and down more than 10% from a year ago.
The OCC said the decline in foreclosures year-over-year has been largely driven by improving economic conditions, servicing transfers and increased effort by servicers to keep borrowers in their homes through loan modifications, payment plans and other retention programs.
"We are seeing the effects of the [home] retention actions out there and additional efforts in trying to work with borrowers to keep them in their home," Krueger said.
During the quarter, mortgage services implemented more home retention actions, at 382,899, than they did issuing new foreclosures.
The decline in foreclosures can also be attributed, in part, to the efforts of the five servicers involved in the $25 billion national mortgage settlement — Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Ally Financial. Though the bulk of the relief they have provided to underwater borrowers has been through short sales, the have modified more than $5 billion of mortgages and refinanced roughly $1.4 billion of loans since the settlement took effect in March, according the Office of Mortgage Settlement Oversight.
In the quarter that ended Sept. 30, lenders modified more than 136,000, including more than 25,000 in California and nearly 14,000 in Florida, according to the OCC.
Still, there is strong evidence that loans that are modified now are at risk of falling into default down the road
Since 2008, more than 2.7 million mortgages had been modified through the second quarter. Less than half of those modifications were current at Sept. 30. Some have paid off in full, but the vast majority of the rest are either delinquent or in the foreclosure stage, according to the OCC's data. One-third of the modified loans were delinquent a year of being modified.
"Re-default rates measured at 30 or more days delinquent provide an early indicator of mortgages that may need additional attention to prevent more serious delinquency or foreclosure," the report cautioned.
The quarterly report looks at first-lien residential mortgages among nine financial institutions with the largest mortgage-servicing portfolios. These institutions represent 58% of all outstanding mortgages in the country.

How To Optimize Results When Doing Fitness WorkoutsMany people are under the misconception that if they are thin they are fit. There are many thin people who have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and are really, not as fit as they think they are. There are some things that you should consider if you want to know just how fit you really are.
Switch up your routine. If you have a regular exercise routine or exercise using some sort of circuit at your local gym, try to mix it up a little. You might stop seeing results as fast if your muscles are given time to adapt to a routine once you stick with it long enough.
Need some ideas for adding exercise to your daily routine? Try simply adding more activity to everything you do. Walking to a further water fountain or restroom at work will increase the number of steps you take in a day and walking a little faster when going up stairs or walking across a parking lot can add intensity to those steps.
Space out your workouts. You don't have to exercise all at once, if it's difficult for you. If you break up your workouts into four 15 minute chunks, at the end of the day, you've got an hour in. Sometimes, that works better for people who can't sit still for an hour and exercise.
Stretches should be performed before you begin your exercise and afterwards to cool the muscle from intense performance. When stretching, it is best to hold a position for 15 to 30 seconds and try not to bounce during the hold. Bouncing will force the muscle to hit a tendon or body part unnecessarily and may cause injury.
A great way to remain consistent with your fitness regimen is to enlist a friend or relative to exercise with you on a regular basis. Getting another individual involved in your fitness journey helps you stay accountable in terms of the goals you have set, and also sets the stage for a bit of healthy competition to see who achieves the most impressive results.
Be accountable for the exercise you do. Try joining a gym just because spending the money makes you more likely to be there and using those resources. If you can't join a gym, pair up with a friend or two so that you can support each other. Being accountable to someone or something makes you more likely to stick with your workouts.
Sprinters can easily and quickly increase their speed by adding targeted workouts for their hamstring muscles. To begin, start with a traditional leg curl. When you begin to pull the weight lower, however, concentrate on flexing your feet and toes away from your body. This simple step increases the workload on your hamstrings.
Rock climbing can be a good way to improve all around fitness. Its important to have the right shoes for Rock climbing. Try finding tight shoes that if you were to walk on them normally, they would cause discomfort. This gives you more control when climbing.
One of the exercise programs usually offered is the aerobic class. This means performing long lasting, medium intensity exercises. Choose this program whenever available as this type of exercise strengthens the respiratory and the heart muscles and improves the blood circulation. As a general effect, it reduces the body's stress level, burns fat and promotes general wellbeing.
Form is crucial in many of the exercises that you will be doing. Many people do not have the right form when they perform a squat. To do this, but a bench underneath you before you squat. Then bend just click the next article until your butt touches the bench.
If you have limited time for lifting weights, concentrate your efforts on compound exercises. This target multiple muscle groups instead of isolating just one, which means that you can work more muscles in less time. Examples of strength-building exercises that target more than one muscle are bench dips, lunges, and pull-ups.
Pay attention to your food intake. Learn about what kind of food is healthy and plan ahead of time, just what you will eat for each meal. Shop accordingly and take the time to cook. A healthy food intake will help you lose weight and build up your body through fitness.
Take initiative on the exercises you know you do not like. You probably dislike them because you are worried you cannot do them, so give them a second, third, and fourth try. Keep working at them and you will eventually come to enjoy them, as you know you can succeed.
http://www.iamsport.org/pg/bookmarks/somer373greg/read/32842566/stunning-collagen-nutrition-tips-you-had-to-know should avoid sit-ups and crunches in positions which anchor your feet. There is a vast array of variations on these basic ab exercises, and not all of them are created equal. When you anchor your feet to exercise your abs you are placing undue stress on your lower back. This reduces the effectiveness of the exercise and puts you at risk of injury.
One of the easiest ways to stay on your fitness program is to get started with a close friend or relative. If you have someone that you can push and that can push you when you are not feeling motivated to stay on track, you will be more apt to moving forward and accomplishing your goals.
If you want to add more power to your golf swing, you should take practice swings on the opposite side. Doing this will strengthen your muscles, which may be needed to help you clear a water hazard. You will experience noticeable differences in the power of your swing if you do this.
As stated earlier in the article, keeping fit can be hard work, but the rewards reaped from your efforts will be well worth the work. Maintaining proper fitness can help you lead a longer life, and help you enjoy the life you have now more fully. Follow the advice you learned from this article to get started on the road to better fitness.

Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands of both sexes and in the testes of males and the ovaries of females. Testosterone is largely responsible for the formation and maintenance of male sex characteristics, including both the larger bone and muscle development seen in males. The testosterone levels in humans are regulated by hormones released from the brain; in males the hypothalamus and pituitary glands in the brain increase testosterone during puberty and male characteristics develop (for example, penile enlargement, facial hair, interest in sex).
While the adrenal glands still help out with testosterone and progesterone production in later years, the amount supplied is extremely small. The biggest issue that we see is an end to normal estrogen levels when the body converts excess testosterone into estradiol. This causes an imbalance that leads to a condition called estrogen dominance – where estrogen is now unopposed by progesterone and testosterone because their levels have declined. Estrogen dominance leads to weight gain, which further increases testosterone to estrogen conversion.

Dropped in at Carol Novack's Mad Hatter's Review reading at KGB Bar. I never noticed before but the stained glass behind the bar reminded me of Humpty Dumpties in green overalls. Just a simple observation.
Said a few hellos, stayed for the first part of the reading then scooted on over to St. Mark's Bookstore.
Came up with the idea for my Bandito story.

For fifteen years I have been living with Situs Inversus Totalis. Over these fifteen years I have had many experiences in music, sports, school, and life. In this post, I am sharing some of my personal thoughts and experiences living with SIT.
Personal Views
- Living with this condition, has made me interested in the medical field and I want to be a doctor to help find a treatment for this condition. Also, I want to help those who have long term effects that are affecting their life.
- This condition hasn't really affected me mentally in any way but it has made me stronger and I am able to cope with the short term effects that I have as a result of Situs Inversus Totalis.
- Physically, this condition has had minor effect. I have been able to participate in sports, feel fine and this condition hasn't stopped me from doing any sort of physical activity such as running or soccer. I play soccer for school and I am able to keep up with all the running and playing. However, because of congestion and sinusitis, my breathing during running can be a little heavy and affect how I perform.
- Having this condition can make it difficult in everyday life, by having the constant cold or feelings of sickness but it is not impossible to overcome this and live a normal life.
This condition has affected me and there are different effects for everyone who has it. However, it it not impossible to overcome this and live a normal life. I will always be living with this condition and there will always be new discoveries and experiences that will take place as a result of Situs Inversus.

MAJORCA in May is popular but not overly busy, which makes it all the more enjoyable.
It affords the visitor more space and time to take in and appreciate the lovely atmosphere, architecture and sights of the island's main attraction and capital, Palma de Mallorca. Over the centuries, this city has been touched by the hands of travellers from across Europe and the Mediterranean resulting in a blend of architectural styles which tends to please the eye rather than jar the senses.
Amid the picturesque squares there are countless restaurants and shops, but the museums and the huge, imposing cathedral continue to be the main attractions.
A 10 - 15 minutes drive from Palma takes you far from the madding crowds and into the five star world of the stunning Castillo Son Vida and The ArabellaSheraton Hotels. These magnificent establishments offer guests unrivalled service, luxurious accommodation, Michelin Star quality cuisine, and the added bonus of two superb golf courses.
The Son Vida course is the oldest on Majorca, and because it was built before the days of titanium drivers and 13.5? three woods, its 5,600 metres (approximately 6,200 yards) may not seem much of a challenge on the card. Don't be fooled! Undulating, narrow and tree-lined fairways ensure that accuracy is far more important than distance, and it is the wise golfer who considers the safest option before automatically reaching for the driver. Son Vida winds its way through mature woodland and past some breathtaking villas, and although it isn't a flat course by any means, walking the beautifully manicured fairways seems to me a better option than taking a buggy and having to play 'resort golf'.
Conversely, Son Muntaner is one of the youngest of Majorca's courses, and is of undoubted championship quality. It is visually stunning, well designed and thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. This is 6,347 metres of blissful golf. Players can 'open their shoulders' here and not get into too much trouble, but a deft touch and nerves of steel are required to master the greens.
As Son Muntaner is reserved for the exclusive use of members and hotel guests, the course is never really packed and tee times are almost always available. In turn, because the course isn't over played, it's in impeccable condition all year round and a real joy to play.

Joining, Shaping and Curling FeathersMany thanks to Gail Nicholes for demonstrating these steps while I took pictures.
|Joining three feathers to make a plume. Start with three feathers.
|Using a razor blade shave away the back side of the stem you sill have on top some of both sides of the stem you will have in the middle and some of the front side of the stem you will have on the bottom. Then glue the last few inches of the stems together.
|With a single strand of a heavy waxed thread sew the stem together with a blanket stitch every 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Shown with white thread to the left.
Close up of blanket stitch (shown in white).Note the stitches are on the back side of the plume. Continue with the stitches until near the top of the stems. Knot off and secure the knot with a small drop of glue.
Front side of plume.
|Plume sewn with matching color of thread.
|Shaping a plume. With a dinner knife in one hand and the plume in the other.
|Place the knife on the back side of the main stem and push against your thumb to make a small dent in the main stem. Move a short distance down the stem and repeat. Do this as many times as necessary until the plum curves the way you want.
|Curling the feather. With a small plastic knife separate 1 to3 strands.
|Place your thumb over the blade and pull away from the main stemb.
|Separate the next few strands.
|Place your thumb over the blade and pull away from the main stemb. Continue until you have curled all the strands.

Three levels of followers
A follower is one who lets another take the lead, give direction and set goals. Poor followers do not do what they are asked, rebel and find it hard to submit and need repeated coercion. Good followers are obedient, take instruction and respond positively to authority. The best followers follow through to the next instruction, are actively engaged in the pursuit of goals and take responsibility for the outcome of their actions. The greatest followers become good examples, show others how to follow through, handle responsibility and become leaders.Allan Bukusi

Cynical by nature
Cynicism always sounds witty, wise and clever, but is always self defeating as it hides behind a lack of will to take responsibility for anything including personal progress. It works desperately hard against those who embrace it and totally absolves them of any blame that may arise out of any situation they face, are in or see as unfit for them. Unfortunately, cynical by nature is easy to sell. It costs nothing. It is free of charge, but very costly to keep.Allan Bukusi

The power of knowledge
Knowledge has power, but that power is not acquired by mere exposure. There are many who walk up to knowledge, look at it in the face and walk away without it. Knowledge has to be engaged, challenged, tried and tested in order to yield its power. It must be questioned, analyzed, applied and tried in order to bare the fruits of its soul. Knowledge smiles and is showered on many, but only shines in a few like the sun. Those who accept the challenge glow with power. Those who do not accept the challenge never grow. So punch and pummel, strive and struggle and do not come away from any brief contact with knowledge with nothing to show for all that you know.Allan Bukusi

Language is more than meets the ear
Mastery of language is beautiful to listen to. Mastering another language allows you to communicate to new populations, but the power of language is not in numbers. Language is the collection of wisdom of a people. It is coded history, culture and learning. It opens a door to a new perspective a new world of understanding and realm of interpretation of the world. Learning another language for the sake of speaking another language defeats the purpose of language. Language allows you to advance in thought word and deed. A language that will advance your station will enable you to traverse centuries of learning human existence and civilization.Allan Bukusi

The flame of the will
The will to develop, to grow, to learn and to become is not natural. It has to be lit and fanned into a flame. Indeed its absence is replaced with a dullness no emotion can describe. The frustration of dealing with a dead spirit can only be matched by weight of having to live with it. The body grows naturally, but if the will does not mature, the two can be horribly out of touch. Dysfunctional. However, once the will is lit, it becomes a passionate living flame that ignites or burns everyone with its touch.Allan Bukusi

Struggle out of life
It is quite evident that if you don't want much out of life you will never get it. But if you want a great deal out of life then you must struggle. All achievement is born out of struggle whether it is coming out of a shell or concluding a sale. Nevertheless there are those who choose not to struggle, but are not happy with what comes to them and those that struggle and do not always achieve what they want. However, on the balance it is better to struggle and fail than fail without a struggle.

Of learning and learners
Over time I have observed various types of learners. Those who have been sent to learn, those who have no urge to learn, those who are open to learn and those who take away what they learn. In all courses and programs at whatever level of corporate organization or academic development all four usually show up in various ratios. The predominance of the former is a very hard and frustrating work for the teacher and a great waste of effort for everyone. The predominance of the later is a proficient experience for everyone with a productive outcome.
Those who have been sent to learn come without spirit, spark or resolve, since they have no personal conviction nothing the teacher says can be convincing. Those who have no urge to learn show up for the record and add a great dead weight. Without an urge to learn, they leave with no value no matter the urgency of the matter. Those who are open to learning open up streams of knowledge even the teacher does not know. Those open to learning draw on the energy and engage the ingenuity of the teacher. Yet those who take away what they learn grow in significance and change the world from that day on. After many days I may hear from and of the latter but never have I ever come across the former.

The power of purpose
The greatest thing you can do for a person is to help them get a sense of purpose, a cause and an object of attention in this life. That purpose becomes the drive and the motive to strive and overcome. It becomes a reason to be and become. A sense of purpose will heal the inward flaw and lay the groundwork for your life and all your life's success and achievement.Allan Bukusi

Get a person to where he needs to be
To get a person to change you must get him to appreciate what he is. To get a person to develop, you must get him to understand where he is. To get a person to advance you must get him to realize why he is. And to get a person to succeed you must get him to believe who he can be.Allan Bukusi

Where did you get your degree?
A person with a degree in Africa and a person with a degree in America do not graduate at the same point in time, history and society. Their contexts do not allow them the same options or destiny. They graduate to meet different needs. It is impractical to attempt to compare the two.Allan Bukusi

Find your place in the world
To find ones place in the world is to seamlessly occupy the space between history and eternity by establishing a connection with the past and a foundation for the future. That is your destiny; the space you occupy between history and eternity.Allan Bukusi

Of History & Destiny
There is great danger in judging history for its past form and greater danger of evaluating ones circumstances in the context of their present form. It is even worse to consider the future as a set of discrete elements. The present is a contribution of both history and destiny.

Transforming Africa: Ethics or Ethnicity?
Some time ago we had the privilege of working with a multiracial group from a international institution on a team building program. Our brief was to break down racial barriers and open up communication between the nationalities and ethnic groups and help integrate interdepartmental working relations. In the beginning the group response to our activities was mechanical, lukewarm and far from enthusiastic. We then divided the group into racially balanced teams. The object was to eliminate ethnic tensions and make teams focus on working together to achieve specific objectives. Nevertheless there was still some ethnic huddling even among members of the same team. Ethnic groups command loyalty that judge others as below, above or apart in varying degrees of dignity or disdain.
However, as the games progressed and competition became more intense, with some teams losing and others winning games consistently we noticed that both winning and losing teams began to trade accusations of ethics or the "lacking ethics". As the competition turned passionate, each team focused on how to win, "with or without ethics" especially if they believed the other teams was not going to play fair. This created strong bonds between team members to the extent that some teams mustered the audacity to accuse referees of wrong and unjust rulings. The question of ethnicity was forgotten or at least suspended for the rest of the day. All that mattered was ethics! This prompted me to ponder the question of ethics a little deeper. A code of ethics does not depend on ethnicity. Creating a code is a matter of honor, identity and pride that exceeds ethnicity. But a code or a constitution is not created at the stroke of a pen. It is born out of struggle, strife, failure and success.
Many of Africa's challenges, conflict and struggles are thought to be rooted in its ethnicity. Perhaps not. Ethnicity is a global phenomenon and there are high ethnographic concentrations in cosmopolitan locations all around the world that do not dissolve into conflict. Whereas ethnicity may be a clue to the complexity of war and conflict, we are more inclined to believe that ethics is at the root of the ethos and ethers surrounding the challenge of transforming Africa. Nevertheless, we need a communal understanding of the word "ethics" to appreciate and unpack the significance of this finding.
Ethics has been defined as a moral code. But ethics is not as much a code as it is codifying ethics. While ethics refers to a set of rules, regulations, principles and practices to live by, it is more about a people's response to a set of rules, regulations, principles and practices they are made to live by. If they have not participated in evolving, developing, making and establishing those rules, regulations, principles and practices, their response will be askew if not outright rebellious to the demands of those rules, regulations, principles and practices. Asking one ethnic group to abide by a code prescribed by another group is to invite conflict. On the other hand, agreeing or signing consent to a code of conduct does not mean compliance to the ethics required by the code.
Ethics is about the virtues, values, self-perception and vision of a people. Ethics is the lens through which people define, re-create and interpret the world. Ethics is the individual and collective response of a people to rules, regulations, principles and practices, but also a people's response to circumstances, situations and opportunity. Ethics is the sum of the values of a people's collective learning, culture, art, science, history and believed destiny. Ethics is the composite state of mind of a people governing their interaction with each other and outsiders in family, business, sports and politics. It is the sum of the learning and advancement of a society. It is evident in a people's accumulated writing, history, eating, language, behavior, lifestyle, habitat and collective wisdom where the house of lords, the jury and elders of the community hold sway. Ethics is a code of honor observed by the honorable in society.
Though ethics is often described as moral sense or social norms its foundations are justice and right. However, ethics are developed over time out of struggle and competition to find out what works and what is unprofitable. This corporate learning is stored away in the group conscience as ethics. If a society has no science, art or civil behavior it stagnates in its learning and does not encourage the development of its institutions. Its advance in ethics is limited. A society is advanced when all its individuals and institutions work for the good and welfare of individuals, society and the state.
While other nations have long recorded history that has helped them journey through centuries of ethical development, Africa's history seems scattered, spattered and dispersed. Its distant history is a record of the destruction of whole civilizations. It needs to be shored up and codified into a respectable whole. Much of Africa's history (read ethical development) is fragmented, not written, lost unknown and untaught. The plunder, pillage and persecution of Africa's peoples in the recent past has not helped the development of ethics across the continent.
For a society to advance it must raise its own teachers, writers and chroniclers. It must raise philosophers who format the thinking of a society and advance the state of learning, culture and statecraft. The state must sponsor social institutions that advance ethics. This is the only way to raise a nation from its past. This is where Africa must invest. A society that does not advance its own history is plagued to return to it, remain traditional and intransigent or imitate another and thus fall short on many of the counts of ethical development and practice. The advance must be home-grown in order to speak the people's language. An advanced society has breadth and depth of language, literature and original thought to strengthen the society to address the challenges within and perils outside its existence. The advancement of a society is in the advance of its justice, righteousness and welfare of its people. In a world where tribal wars are no longer justifiable and ethnicity is no longer a principle of conflict, should we not invest and pay more attention to the development of ethics rather than the inordinate focus on ethnicity?

Why Next Generation Leaders?
|Add caption
The world has changed dramatically over the last century. Changes in agriculture, industry, medicine and education have made the world more productive, healthier and habitable in many ways. But the world has also changed fundamentally over the last decade. Education has revised the way children are education while information technology has changed the way we define our world. Even war has been redefined from fighting "objects" and people to fighting concepts such as terrorism and "human rights" and "literacy". The corporate world has challenged the image of the super manager to run organizations and now demands process leaders to ensure corporate success. No single manager knows enough to run the corporation by him or herself. CEOs today must rely on leaders to run the business of the corporation.
The Next Generation CorporateLeaders face a different set of dynamics that their predecessors. In the past there was relative stability in professions, markets and industry structures. In the early part of last century it was possible to plan for 50 years of production for a stable market based on a single invention such as the motor car. Today strategic plans are outdated by a single innovation in a matter of months – and there are hundreds of innovations every day. In the old days markets were closed. Today anybody can do business anywhere. In the old days careers were guaranteed by education, today if you do not go for training you are outdated as soon as you graduate from college. Next generation corporate leaders must handle dynamics, diversity and turn dreams into reality.
Dynamics is not the same as change or change management. Corporations today house dynamic order. People come and go, technology is adopted and revised, products and processes are in a constant state of modification in a bid to keep up with external competition and innovation against the erratic demand of customers. Gone are the days when careers were permanent and pensionable and staff were reliable and guaranteed to stay for 20 years. The nature of the corporate process is "here today gone tomorrow". The leader must be comfortable with these dynamics.
The very definition and advantages of a stable corporate culture demand a significant degree of uniformity. However, the new world does not guarantee uniformity. Globalization goes against the very core of uniformity. Organizations struggle with generational ethics where old and young work in the same environment. Analog and digital exist side by side. Diversity is more than race or color. Diversity is about integrated systems, accommodating religions beliefs, worldviews and educational backgrounds. It is about mainstreaming gender issues, but also providing opportunity for minorities to develop themselves. The demand is for corporate leaders to understand how to interpret a single product effectively in four different countries with multiple cultures and several different time zones. The next generation leaders will not deal with consistency indeed they must master inconsistency!
The only way that the next generation can advance the cause of their organizations is if they have vision. Vision is the capacity to not only see the future but bring it about today. In the past it was enough to see the future, today leaders are expected to bring the future to the people. Such is the challenge of NEXT GENERATION CORPORATELEADERS – Today!

OK, Let's Talk About Me is a documentary film, suitable for secondary and tertiary students, that tells the story of Eddie Jenkinson, a seventeen-year-old boy with Down syndrome. The film traces Eddie's journey to independence as he prepares to turn eighteen. Eddie is about to finish school and start work. The documentary explores Eddie's choices and the control he asserts over his own existence.
The film reveals that people with Down syndrome strive to accomplish the same goals as everyone else. Eddie's family and friends are interviewed in the film and he is shown working at Bedford Industries, a supported work place, where Eddie could possibly work full time. Eddie is shown as a complex young man, defined as much by his abilities and relationships as by Down syndrome.
Many people are not sure how to respond to individuals with Down syndrome and how to include them in the everyday life of a community. Both the film and the guide provide information about how, as a society we must ensure that people with Down syndrome are accepted and are provided with the opportunity to achieve their goals. Studying the film will help students to understand how disabled people feel and to become more tolerant and empathic towards them.
OK, Let's Talk About Me was produced in association with SBS Independent and the South Australian Film Corporation. It was screened to a full house at the 2005 Adelaide Film Festival in March and on SBS's Inside Australia in April 2005.

Make More Friends by Staying at The Ultimate Student Houses
22/ago/2017 13:05:09 aldisrou Contatta l'autore
The search for good accommodation starts just as you admitted to college away from your home. The exploration can be a daunting task. In all country, there are dissimilar times of the year while housing lists are released through letting agents as well as landlords.
In numerous countries, you will find countless student houses lists about the end of the year along with the time of New Year. It is perhaps since countless students restart school in new terms even as new students are admitted. Universities along with colleges operate in a different way though. Some receive fresh students in the starting of the second term or third term also.
Dependent on the college you are pursuing, there is adequate housing for everyone. Consequently, you are forced to discover a shelter away from home while ensuring that it is safe and much closeness. Nevertheless, student unions along with university housing facilities are accessible.
The Jesmond student houses are ideal choices for providing ample range of student's facilities that one can consider. A few institutions of superior learning have an answer for scholars who cannot get lodges within their compounds. They work together with landlords along with letting agents. The difficulty is this kind of housing service differs dramatically from one college to other.
If you are not interested in college managed lodging or lists of student unions house, afterward your only option is private sector lodging. There is no need to hurry as there will be empty student apartments within the Jesmond student houses all through the year. You are permitted to rent alone or within groups. The crucial thing is to be familiar with where to look for the most reasonable and comfy rental properties.
The internet search is a lot faster, more expedient, and fruitful. Rather than walking around to position letting agents, you can utilize the internet. It will not just reveal houses in one section of the region you are fascinated in. Internet resources will disclose properties such as Jesmond student houses across the whole region and demonstrate you clear photographs of every home.

In listening to Dennis Dutton's Ted Talk on Beauty, I found that he describes my landscapes very accurately, except for the food part. According to Prof. Dutton we are all, no matter our current location in this world, attracted to the Pleistocene savannah on which our ancestors evolved. His description of an appealing landscape includes open grassland, stands of trees (apparently we also prefer them with forked trunks low to the ground), a body of water and a path, road or shoreline leading to the horizon.
Valentine's Day is soon upon us. It's a time to salute love, beauty and a sense of adventure. This little painting gives a nod to those and in one of my favorite parts of the world. Mark Twain placed Tom, Huck and Joe on Jackson Island for one of their adventures. The viewer sits above the Mississippi River at sunset celebrating the moment.

An Eye for Beauty; a gift from our ancestors
Dennis Dutton, an arts philosopher, presents this Ted Talk on understanding beauty. His proposition is that beauty isn't cultural or in the eye of the beholder, but a gift from our ancestors handed down through a million years. Beauty is an evolutionary gift that aids our survival.

The USCGA is the acronym for the "Upstate South Carolina Geocachers Association". We are a group of people from all walks of life who enjoy the many aspects of the hobby of geocaching.
The following video will give the viewer a brief overview of geocaching.
To provide a regional outlet for geocaching activities. A place for geocachers to meet, fellowship, and further the ideals of geocaching in the community.
1: To promote our game of geocaching through positive media coverage,CITO events and responsible caching.
2 : To acquire and maintain relationships with land owners and property managers.
3 : To gather together in Bi-monthly meetings and have fun as a group.
The USCGA is an independent organization that consists of ten counties in Northwest S.C. They are OCONEE, PICKENS, GREENVILLE, SPARTANBURG, CHEROKEE, UNION, ANDERSON, ABBEVILLE, LAURENS, and GREENWOOD. This area is recognized by the S.C.G.A. as an official geocaching area. As such, the U.S.C.G.A. has one representative on the S.C.G.A. steering committee.This representative serves a three year term on the committee and represents the U.S.C.G.A. on matters that concern geocaching on a statewide level. The U.S.C.G.A. functions almost entirely on a voluntary basis. There are no dues or rank of officers. The only positions of office are a Chairperson and Co-Chairperson. These positions have a term of one year. They may run for re-election at the end of their term if they so desire. Since current Chair and Co-chairpersons were elected at the first U.S.C.G.A. meeting in May, elections will be held annually each May. The main duties of the Chairperson and Co-chairperson are:
1: Preside over the Bi-monthly meetings.
2: Be a contact person for the membership and the community.
3: Help coordinate the volunteer projects of the membership.
4: To work toward the previously stated goals of the U.S.C.G.A.
The USCGA has one representative in each county of the upstate for a total of 10. These representatives are in voluntary positions and have no term of office. Each representative should live in or close to the county they represent. They serve as a contact that can be used to interact with land owners or property managers to resolve any geocaching related problems that might arise. They are a line of communication from each individual county to the U.S.C.G.A.

Wedding Testimonials
Helped me in so many ways
- Name: Rachel & Leonard
- Date: August 2016
As soon as we pulled up we had a feeling we were going to love it! We were greeted with happy faces and warm welcomes. I have been e-mailing for months Nessa the wedding coordinator and let me just tell you she is one heck of an amazing women. She helped me in so many ways. She took alot of my stress away with dealing with our wedding ceremony that we had at Druids Glen on Monday. She put me in touch with amazing people that ended up being apart of our special day in more ways then one. My husband and I were getting married in Ireland with no one else but ourselves and the people she connected me with to help put what I visioned for our day in to play. She went way over and above to make sure when we arrived we had an amazing day. I can't describe how much I appreciate her and everything she did for us. This is not it we ended up getting married on such a rainy day and of course we wanted to be crazy and take some outside pictures well we had a pleasure of meeting an amazing man who drove us down in the just married golf cart in the rain and did everything to make sure we made it to amazing spit on the ground to take beautiful wedding pictures. Then we ended up eating dinner in at the bar and my burger was amazing. My husband's fish and chips were so yummy we left very happy people. A couple even bought us dessert which was amazingly sweet. Then we left to go to a neighboring town to the ATM and our GPS ended up screwing up and not finding a signal so we finally called the hotel and the bartender gave us directions then found us flagged us down and we followed him to the hotel. I mean everyone went way over and beyond for us and I just can't say enough good things about this place. The food, the people, the atmosphere, love this hotel we will come back and stay longer.
Went above and beyond
- Name: Sinead & Richie
- Date: August 2016
I really don't know where to start to explain what an amazing day myself and Richie had!! From start to finish your professionalism and kindness blew us away! From settling our nerves to treating us like royalty we really had the time of our lives! We want to say a massive thank you to yourself, Naomi, Victoria, Oli, the banqueting and kitchen team and everyone in Druids Glen who are fantastic at what they do and really made our days so special! We were told by so many people that you all went above and beyond to help them in anyway you could too! We will never forget our day and will be back soon to visit!
Thanks again, we will recommend you to everyone!
Wonderful and memorable experience
- Name: Catherine & Nick

Just a quick message to thank you and your team in Druids for the effort put in to making our wedding day such a wonderful and memorable experience.

We just returned home from our honeymoon on Monday night, so apologies about the delay in sending this message.
Everything went perfect

So sorry I never got a chance to e-mail earlier. I just wanted to say thank you so much for looking after myself and Ray on our wedding day. We had an absolutely amazing day and everything went perfect!! I couldn't have asked for better, I couldn't fault one tiny part of the day. Everyone complimented us on your expertise and also the hotel facilities and helpfulness. You put in so much effort it clearly showed the professionalism and capability involved. I will be recommending Druids Glen to everyone I know (although they were at the wedding and could see for themselves). Thanks again for everything, I wish you all the best for the future.
Such a special experience
- Name: Sarah & Paul
- Date: May 2016

We had the most amazing wedding day in Druids Glen, Naomi, you were amazing on the day and helped it making the whole day run smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how helpful and friendly the staff were and how lovely the food was. We cannot thank you both enough for helping to make our wedding day such a special experience. I have attached a few photos that were taken in Druids Glen.

The expected hip cross-cultural wit and clever plot complicities sustained by the two preceding entries are all there in Back to the Future Part III. Although, in comparison to the previous two films, Back to the Future Part III comes across as lighter especially after the dazzling conceptual juggling and the darkly oppressive middle of the second entry otherwise it is a slickly made and rousingly entertaining effort. The only part it seems to fail in is its junk-culture margin pastiches the joke with Michael J. Fox calling himself Clint Eastwood gets overdone. (Although, there is that nice moment where Marty first mentions the name to a puzzled Doc in 1955 and the camera pans away to a billboard advertising a double-bill of Tarantula (1955) and Revenge of the Creature (1955) two films in which a young Clint Eastwood had bit parts and Michael J. Fox shrugs I guess he isnt so well known yet).
Christopher Lloyd does a nice job of opening out the character of Doc. He and Mary Steenburgen (in her second cross-time love story, after Time After Time (1979) and playing just as daffily as she did there) have a charm together with their mutual rhapsodies over Jules Verne. The films setting is clearly intended to allow director Robert Zemeckis to have fun with various Western cliches he quotes Sergio Leone and Eastwood. A commendable attempt is made to approximate the historical realism of the period showing animal turds in the streets and the bad hygiene of the time.

Puma takes a bold step in the self-lacing shoe business
If you're an athlete and are concerned about ill-fitting shoes holding you back, you'll be glad to know that Puma's working on some high-tech kicks that will sort you out.
Engadget got a good look at Puma's Autodisc shoes at Hong Kong-based Internet of Things accelerator Brinc, and they sound pretty neat indeed.
Do you want to be a cryptocurrency millionaire?
Don't get your hopes up.
For starters, the Autodisc sneakers pack motors in their tongues that loosen or tighten internal laces wrapped around the front of your foot. Engadget notes that this allows the shoe to flex like natural sneakers than Nike's HyperAdapt.
Plus, you can pair your Autodiscs with your phone to control the fit – and possibly attain the same amount of tightness every time. They also come with a wireless charging mat to easily juice up your sneakers.
However, it's worth noting that while Brinc believes the Autodiscs will go on sale 'eventually', there isn't a launch date or price tag yet. Meanwhile, Nike HyperAdapt will become available on November 28 – so if you're in the market for self-lacing shoes, be sure to queue up at the right store at the end of this month.
