A spokesman for the African Union force in Somalia says gunmen have attacked one of their bases in the Somali capital.
Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda says the gunmen tried to enter the base on Saturday but were stopped by AU troops. He says the gunfight was still going on and casualties were unclear.
Resident Mohammed Abdi says he heard several large explosions near the base but it was not clear what caused them.
About 9,000 AU troops are in Somalia supporting the weak U.N.-backed government against al-Qaida linked al-Shabab insurgents. The AU and government control almost all of the capital but the insurgents still launch daily attacks.

Siri vs. Android: Which is Better at Understanding Voice Commands?
I came across this video while i was tweeting and I thought it really made a big difference in choosing a platform. I have used Apple (iPhone 4s) and Android (Samsung Galaxy Note) and I personally feel GTN7000 sold me off completely. It's an amazing phone which gives you a feel of a tablet too. Who wouldn't want Google embedded in their phone?

On 2 October 2017, H.E. Dr. Sun Xianghua, Ambassador of China to Lesotho, attended the hand-over ceremony in which the Chinese Embassy donated a batch of office equipments to the Ministry of Public Service of Lesotho. Hon. Thesele Maseribane, Minister of Public Service, Mr. Tseliso Lesenya, Principal Secretary, Ms. Rethabile Maluke, Deputy Principal Secretary, directors of different departments, and journalist also attended the ceremony. Ambassador Sun and Hon. Maseribane signed the hand-over certificate on the donation of computers, printer and projectors, and the Lesotho officials sang a Sesotho song of "we've been waiting for this day for long" to show their appreciation.
Ambassador Sun commended Hon. Maseribane's on his efforts upon resuming office to improve the working condition and the morale of the public servants in the aim of upgrading their service delivery, and hoped the equipments will be helpful. Meanwhile, he introduced briefly the system of recruitment, promotion, cultivation and management of public servants of the Chinese government, and said that the Chinese side was willing to continuously cooperate with the Lesotho side on the capacity building of the public service and the two sides could learn from each other.
Hon. Maseribane said, China-Lesotho cooperation has borne immeasurable results to the development of Lesotho and the gesture of the Chinese Embassy today is a good continuation, for which the Lesotho side was of sincere gratitude. He stressed that the Ministry with the responsibility of coordinating human resource within government will make its utmost efforts to serve Basotho. He hoped the Ministry could learn from the Chinese experience to promote public sector reforms and wish long-live friendship between the two countries.

One of our family's homemade gifts this Christmas was my Red Hot Sauce. In "A Peck of Peppers", I wrote about preparing the sauce from Fresno Chiles fresh from the garden, which I did at the end of September. Then I put the sauce in a charred oak barrel and let it sit until the week before Christmas. I strained it and put it in bottles. I was particularly pleased with the deep red color of the sauce.
This is a fermented sauce — the only thing added to the peppers is salt. The smell is strong, and it has a slightly smoky, sour taste. In addition to making gifts, I used the sauce in a marinade for elk steaks that we had at Christmas dinner. I also added it to baked beans I made. I think of this red hot sauce less as a table condiment and more as a set of rich flavors that can enhance any number of dishes — it's earthy, yet with a call-to-attention bright flavor, just like a pepper. It stays with you.
We have a new reason to do canning this year — baby Henry! Katie came by and we made applesauce from red Gravensteins. She wants to have fresh applesauce in the pantry for when Henry starts to eat real food. I am glad to see that Katie wants to learn canning and she said it was easier than she thought. Like many things, the more you do it, the process gets to be familiar, which makes it easier. Still I have my copy of the book "Putting Food By" nearby.
We used the Italian food mill that I regular use to make tomato sauce. We cook the apples enough to soften them and then put them through the mill, which removes the seeds and skin. What came out was applesauce with a tint of red. We had more than enough for a dozen half-cup jars. I can't wait until Henry gets to taste it for himself.
Tomatoes are coming in by the bushel basket and plastic bins. I need to can as many as I can today before heading out tomorrow for Maker Faire NYC. Not enough time in the day…
A bushel, according to Wikipedia, is a measure of dry volume, the equivalent of eight gallons or four pecks.
By Labor Day weekend, there are more than enough tomatoes to start canning but more will come in September, especially the Roma and San Marzano varieties. The cold fog of August seems to delay ripening. Elsewhere I would expect that Labor Day would be closer to the end of season for tomatoes. Here at Pillow Road it is not quite peak season but there's certainly a good mix of varieties to do things with.
I first made salsa because a lot of peppers are ripe. For me, one of the keys to salsa is getting the right texture, as well as taste. I use a food processor but instead of throwing everything in at once, I like to do peppers and onions together and then do the tomatoes separately. The tomatoes need only a few presses of the pulse button. Tomatillos are also ready so I made a green salsa as well.
I had enough tomatoes to can seven quarts of sauce. I use an Italian food mill to process the tomatoes. I filled a 12 quart pot with the raw sauce and I cook it for several hours to reduce it. (The raw sauce froths initially and you have to watch for that, and then it settles down to a simmering boil.) Boiling off water gives me a sauce that has more body to it.
I had never studied the ratio before: 12 quarts reducing down to seven. Seven is also the number of quart jars that fit in the pot I use for the boiling water bath. Things do get easier when you know the capacity of the related equipment you have.
I had maybe a quarter cup of sauce leftover after canning. I added some balsamic vinegar, salt and thyme to make a sauce for grilled pork chops.
The basil plants in the garden in midsummer are large — over three feet tall. It is time to pick them and make pesto. I made a double-batch last night. Our time-tested recipe comes from The Moosewood Cookbook, which practically opens to that page. Because I was also making plum jelly, I looked up pesto in another favorite old cookbook, Putting Foods By. It didn't have a pesto recipe but the book offered a great tip. It suggested that a way to store fresh pesto was to spoon it on to a cookie sheet, and stick it into the freezer for about twenty minutes. Then wrap up the mounds of pesto individually and place them in a freezer bag. This gives us single or double portions of pesto, full of fresh summer basil and garlic, safely packed away for future meals.
The boysenberries are ripe and it looks like a great year for them. The boysenberry is a cross between a raspberry, blackberry and logan berry. The berries are usually large, bigger than an ordinary blackberry. While they turn black when ripe, they are much redder inside, like a raspberry. In my garden, they ripen at the same time as the raspberries in early June, a month or so before blackberries. They have a distinctive flavor as well as color.
The Boysenberry is a true California product, developed in Napa by Rudolph Boysen who was unsuccessful commercializing it and then Walter Knott brought it to Southern California and established it at Knott's Berry Farm. Here's the Rudolph Boysen story from Wikipedia:
Rudolph Boysen experimented with various berry crosses in Napa, California in the 1920s. In 1923, his hybrid successfully grew and bore fruit. However, unable to make his new berry a commercial success, Boysen abandoned his crop after breaking his back in an accident. When Boysen moved to Orange County, he brought with him what was described by the consulted Coolidge Rare Plant Nursery of Altedena as "the sensation berry of the 20th Century." Years later, a fellow grower named Walter Knott heard about the berry and tracked down Boysen. Walter Knott was able to bring a few dying vines back to life at his farm, now known as Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. Knott named the fruit after Boysen.
I remember going to Knott's Berry Farm maybe fifty years ago with my family.
I made boysenberry jam from the first batch of berries this season. I picked about four pounds of berries. I crushed them, strained about half of the batch to reduce the number of seeds that end up in the jam, recombined the juice with the other half of pulp, and then cooked the jam. I used a new pressure cooker to process the seven half-pint jars in just a couple of minutes time. Always a sticky process but satisfying to finish.
I pickled lemon cucumbers in turmeric and honey with cider vinegar. I also pickled Armenian cucumbers in cider vinegar and dill. Both are a little different than standard pickling cukes.
I also had dinner at Zazu restaurant this weekend. They had small pickled grapes, which were deliciously sweet and sour.
I got started on the end of summer tasks such as canning and pickling over Labor Day. I also baked a loaf of sourdough bread from a starter I'd been nursing for weeks. I was particularly pleased to get the first batch of tomatoes canned. The tomatoes are coming in late this year. I also made a batch of fresh chevre. Since I had the tomato sauce on the stove, I made a delicious tomato soup, adding fresh corn and chives.
It's kind of a triple play for the kitchen — pickling, canning and baking.
I planted Concord grapes this year and it will take a couple of years before they become productive. I bought four pounds of Concord grapes and made jelly — because I couldn't wait until next year. The flavor is so sweet and satisfying.
I processed the grapes in a food mill, the same one I'm using to process tomatoes and applesauce. Then I made the jam from the juice, which I let sit overnight. I followed the traditional recipe for liquid pectin and it worked. I'm always tempted to try making jelly without pectin or without pectin, but it seldom turns out right. I have found that a failed jelly can be turned into a nice glazed sauce for chicken or pork.
I put about eight half-pint jars of grape jelly in the pantry.
Some people have a certain fear of canning. Or it seems like a fussy process. My favorite reference on the subject is "Putting Food By." Even this book could make one reticent to start canning — with all of its cautions and cautionary tales. Yet canning is quite simple and reliable. Like many things, you have to do enough of it to really get comfortable with it.
I've been canning lots of tomato sauce this fall. I use a food mill to process the tomatoes and then I cook down the sauce for four or five hours. I started filling a 12 qt. with tomato sauce pan and when I was finished cooking it, I canned 5 quarts total (in ten pint jars.) That's reducing it by more than half. I can tell that the sauce has been reduced enough when the surface has texture instead of being smooth and glassy, as it is when it's watery.
I also made another batch of tomatoes into a chili sauce, which is more like ketchup. I include cider vinegar and red peppers. This has a snappy taste but it is also smooth.
Finally, I made chutney on the weekend, combining apples and tomatoes as the main ingredients. It also requires cider vinegar plus some brown sugar and raisins. It's quite pungent. I packed the chutney into a dozen 1/2 pint jars and still had enough left to fill four pint jars. (BTW, there are a few tools that are useful in canning: one is a wide-mouth funnel, good for ladling the sauce into the jars; the other is special grip for moving the hot jars into and out of the water bath.)
All of these were cooked in a boiling water bath and all of the jars sealed perfectly. I have a pressure canner and will use it on quart jars of tomato sauce.
Now to find room in the pantry for all these jars.

No blog which deals with how the Philippines uses English will be complete without the expression, "for a while." Commonly used when answering the phone, I myself did not know there was something wrong with this expression until recently. In the first place, "while" can mean a "short amount of time," which is what the expression really means, literally, "wait a bit."
Purists of English, however, would say that this expression should not exist. Normally, "while" should come with some sort of modifier like, "stay a while," or "I'm using your pen for a while." If it's a question of telling a person to wait a bit, it's best to just say "hold a minute (if you're on the phone)" or "just a second" or "one moment please" or just be direct and say "give me five minutes to do this."
In the Philippines, "for a while" is very clear but if you're talking to a foreigner who is not familiar with the expression, you might get blank stares. As for me, I still find myself using it sometimes. That's the beauty of varieties of English: if you're talking to someone who uses English the same way you do, there's no real problem communicating.

Normally the course is conducted in June or early July.
Certificate course on Gender budgeting and performance tracking
This training is a strategic tool to boost gender mainstreaming in economic planning and financial management. It is designed as an approach which assures that the budget reaches out to all people, men and women and provides opportunity for their participation in the budgeting process and management.
It is the response for the need to analyse the impact of expenditure and revenue on women and girls as compared to men and boys. The training will sharpen participant's knowledge and skills in understanding the impact of policies, where adjustment can be made, and where resources need to be reallocated to address poverty and gender inequalities. The training normally takes place in May or early June

By: Adam King
Impunity Watch News Reporter, Africa
NEW YORK, New York – The United Nations is actively investigating purported military ties between North Korea and several African countries. The probe comes at a time where the whole world has turned its attention to the recent actions of North Korea. Two African countries in particular, Uganda and Tanzania, face accusations of violating sanctions imposed by the UN by engaging in prohibited economic exchange. Tanzania is accused of engaging in business ventures with North Korea estimated to be worth $12.5 million.
Some African countries have maintained relationships with North Korea since the early 1960s. In fact, North Korea has supported several African countries during and after the Cold War:
"The relationship between North Korea and Africa dates back to the Cold War where the country was looking to find allies among newly liberated, socialist countries in Africa. Like China and Russia, it was looking to stamp out western influence on the continent, and present its adversary, South Korea, as a puppet of the US."
Uganda in particular shares particular proclivities with North Korea related to opinions of the United States:
"President Yoweri Museveni has proven to share North Korea's disdain for western foreign policy and influence. Museveni, whose party members recently proposed to extend the age limit for heads of state, has hosted a banquet for North Korean diplomats in Uganda and defended his relationship with the country, once describing them as "friends who have helped Uganda for a long time."
Uganda and North Korea have faced scathing criticism regarding human rights violations in their respective countries. A large portion of the transactions that continue between North Korea and African nations are military related. Transactions include enhancing missile capabilities to military vehicles, "In Mozambique, for example, the experts said they are looking into the reported supply of shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles, air defense systems, other surface-to-air missiles and radar by a North Korean trading company."
Many African countries do not have the capability to produce the weapons they are acquiring from North Korea. In turn, North Korea is utilizing relationships with African countries to spread their technological innovations around the world for a lucrative profit. Many of the weapons proliferated across the African continent are exported from foreign entities, which give continuous fuel for protracted conflicts.

|Engr. Dr. Ernest Ndukwe
Enugu is to host the maiden edition of TechDev Summit, the epic gathering of all principal stakeholders to brainstorm and seek solutions that would benefit Nigeria.The mega summit with the theme: ICT: Innovate, Transform, Connect will hold from December 6 to 7 at the prestigious Golden Royal Event Centre, Independence Layout, Enugu.
Organised by Communication Week Media Limited, publishers of Nigeria CommunicationsWeek and Techsmart Trend, the summit would be a gathering of experts, academia, intellectuals and major stakeholders in the ICT, finance as well as government; in strategic and high-level sessions, to address issues, generate new ideas and approaches as well as chart a road map for Nigeria's ICT space.
Ken Nwogbo, CEO, Communication Week Media, said that the event would provide unique platforms for over 1,000 leading ICT professionals and managers to mobilise smart implementation strategies aimed at improving operations at the citizenry and enterprise levels.
The choice of Enugu is strategic and stems from the fact that the city plays hosts to one the nation's ivy league institutions- the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Enugu campuses and the world famous Institute of Management and Technology (IMT). Along with a number of other higher institutions in the state, the city underlines the importance of academia and resources around there to technology development as has been proved by the Silicon Valley model.
Ultimately, the Technology Development summit will deepen conservation and offer practical insights for our national technology development. The event will also be keen on giving young innovators platforms aimed at promoting innovation and entrepreneurship.
There will also co-located events at the forum including mentorship forum; and tech demo day.
The summit will be chaired by Engr. Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, former Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) while other speakers such as Leo-Stan Ekeh, Chairman, Zinox Group; Tunde Coker, CEO, Rack Centre; amongst others that have been lined up to make the summit truly impactful and revolutionary.

The grocery store had the most gorgeous, massive leeks the other day. I bought them with no plan in mind, but ended up making these dreamy scalloped potatoes and I was thrilled with how the vegan version turned out!
Vegan Scalloped Potatoes & Leeks
- 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 large leek
- 3 cups almond milk
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp miso paste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3-4 shakes of hot sauce (optional, but I think it brings everything together nicely)
- 1 sprig each of sage, thyme and rosemary
- 1 tsp arrowroot powder
Preheat oven to 350F.
Thinly slice potatoes and leeks, then layer in a 6×12 baking dish, starting with potatoes and ending with leeks on top. Set aside.
In a saucepan, gently heat the almond milk over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the fresh herbs and the arrowroot powder. Whisk until smooth and combined. Add in the sprigs of fresh herbs and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove the herbs and discard. Whisk in the arrowroot powder.
Pour the liquid mixture over the potatoes & leeks. You want the liquid to be just barely to the top of the potato layer. At this point, I also sprinkled the top with vegan parmesan, but this is not necessary.
Bake covered with tin foil at 350F for 40 minutes. Increase temp to 425F and bake for another 20-30 minutes. You want the top to be brown and the liquid to be bubbling, but nearly gone. Also, check that the potatoes are cooked with a fork to make sure its done.
This is a great make ahead side for holiday dinners, you could do it all the day before to save space in your oven, then reheat just before dinner. Your guests will have no idea that its vegan!
As always, let me know if you tried this, and please tag me on instagram @vegcouver so I can see your version!

The RG41, the rumored 8x8 from BAE Systems OMC of South Africa, made its commercial debut. The 41 is quite possibly a dramatically new vehicle, as it's arguably the first 8x8 designed from the keel up with a partly V-shaped hull for blast resistance. This might not be quite an 8x8 MRAP--building that much undercarriage protection into a vehicle with eight wheels is apparently more challenging than one might guess. BAE is a bit cagey about just how robust the vehicle is, but the South African provenance suggests some seriousness. Pricing details are similarly sketchy, but it's reasonable to guess that it might be an affordable vehicle, as South African kit usually is.
BAE also announced that it would be joining IVECO in its bid to supply the new Superav amphibious 8x8 to the US Marine Corps for its Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC) requirement. The Superav is a 24-ton vehicle with room for 13 passengers, so it's the sort of roomy ride that appeals to the Corps and its devotion to the Big Squad. The vehicle is at least superficially similar to the Freccia 8x8 troop carrier and Centauro 8x8 tank destroyer that IVECO and Oto Melara have been building for four brigades of the Italian Army, but it's a remarkably lighter vehicle, as it would need to be for swimming through even light surf. That makes it an intriguing contender to become the MPC, which the Marines rather need to get their riflemen out of the sandbagged MTVR trucks that they rode to Baghdad in 2003. (To be fair, the survivability and offroad maneuverability of the MTVR is a source of pride for the Marines and the builder, Oshkosh Defense).
BAE says that it's working on assembling a prototype tricked out specifically for USMC requirements at its facility in Santa Clara, California--and that's further evidence that the company is coming around to the market. Admittedly, these two developments aren't probably exceptionally good news for those at BAE Systems Hagglunds who had been working on the SEP 8x8 vehicle for the Swedish Army's rather delayed requirement. Then again, one needs to follow the business, whatever the right path. With this full-force entry, there are now at least seven firms or consortia with very credible products in the 8x8 segment: General Dynamics (Piranha and Pandur), BAE Systems, IVECO, Nexter (VBCI), ARTEC (Boxer), Patria (AMV), and GAZ/Arzamas (BTR-90).
Does that constitute saturation? Just possibly: I'm not sure that any given strategist would advise yet another automotive firm to jump into the 8x8 troop carrier business. Is this latest foray overreaction? That may seem arguable, but consider this: that aforementioned Oshkosh was the last of the five companies with a successful MRAP design (including Force Protection, BAE Systems, Navistar, and by license, General Dynamics), but it's the one that's cleaning up today. Bid markets, as defense markets generally are, can be scary places for investment, but the payoffs can be huge. And that's enough to keep interest focused on a line of business that's yet to see its logical endpoint.

Weight: 1kg net weight, 1.3kg gross weight.
JET Filament Colors/Options: Nature, White, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange, Red, Pink, Blue, Silver, Gold, Black, Brown, Grey, Transparent/clear, Lime, Navy, Olive, Violet, Magenta, Chocolate, Cyan, Burlywood, Royal, Blue,
SkyBlue, Khaki, Orchid, Maroon, Tan, Glow Green/Blue, Wood, PVA, Conductive ABS(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene),
PLA (polylactic acid) and HIPS (high impact polystyrene) filaments are the most commonly used printing supplies for all 3D Printers.
1) Filament not extruding properly?
A: Check the type of filament you're working with and set the proper extruder temperature based on the filament type and heated build platform if applicable; If printing abs or hips, the platform should be heated more than 100°C Trial and error. Rule of thumb is to set the extruder temperature to the highest temperature for the specific filament, then decrease the temperature by 5°C until properly extruded. Please note this will vary with each 3D printer.
2) How do I store my filament?</p?
A: Most filaments tend to absorb moisture from the air; because of this your filament can become brittle and slowly degrade the quality. It's recommended to keep unused filament and store it in a storage container or zip lock bag with a desiccant.
3) Won't the print stick to the build platform?
A: First, review FAQ #1. Second, for PLA it's recommended to use blue painters tape and ABS it's recommended to use kapton tape. If printing with ABS and the print will still not stick to the build platform you can use "*ABS Sludge" a little goes a long way. You can use this on the build platform on top of kapton tape.
Product Features
- High precision: +/- 0.02mm. Roundness +/-0.02mm,the filament extrudes precisely for fast printing and consistent layering

Chad Surprenant, PE
President | CEO
Growing up in the industry, Chad has had a ground-level understanding of engineering from the time he was six years-old feeding plan sheets into ISG's (then I&S Engineers) early blueprint machine. Chad continued to work for the family business throughout high school and college, earning practical experience on various survey, construction inspection, and structural engineering projects along the way. After earning his Civil Engineering degree from Iowa State University, Chad returned to his hometown of Mankato, Minnesota to join his parents' 10-person engineering practice.
Over the next several years, in addition to earning his professional licensure, Chad began assuming management responsibilities and helped ISG leaders grow the company to 30 employees, also adopting new services to the practice. In 2001, he was named company President, and the firm has continued to experience significant growth under his leadership, both internally and through tactical merger and acquisition.
During his career, Chad has received numerous professional awards including the "Young Engineer of the Year" Award in 2003 and 2004 from the Minnesota Society of Professional Engineers, and Minnesota Federation of Engineering, respectively. As President and CEO at ISG, Chad's leadership style is to empower first, manage second. This gives ISG professionals across each level of management the confidence to pursue innovative ideas that align with the strategic vision for the firm. Paired with his own strengths as a communicator, ISG continues to drive creative, client-focused services while supporting fulfilling careers for the firm's employees.
A natural leader in both his professional and public life, Chad is actively involved in his hometown community of Mankato. He has served in a number of local education, business, and non-profit organizations, holding various member, Board, and President roles over the past decade. Mankato, which was named one the fastest growing City's on Forbes 2015 list, has evolved dramatically under the leadership of community organizers like Chad – changes that continue to strengthen the cultural, recreational, social, and economic vitality of the City.

Horrific! Images And Shocking Stories Emerge From Nairobi Mall Massacre (Video)
The horror of it is breath taking. Images are now emerging, along with stories of the shocking level of violence the victims experienced during the Nairobi mall massacre that began last Saturday. Islamic terrorists from al-Shabaab slaughtered 72 (possibly up to 150) innocent men, women, and children. It was described as "scenes from a horror movie with blood spattered everywhere and dead bodies strewn across the floor." One soldier said "it would haunt him for the rest of his days."
From The Daily Mail,
Shocking images have revealed the true extent of the destruction caused to the Nairobi shopping centre during the four-day battle between Kenyan forces and Islamic militants.
The first pictures taken inside the site show a gaping hole in the mall's roof after three storeys collapsed when Kenyan soldiers fired rocket-propelled grenades inside the complex, knocking out a support column, a government official said.
Children's buggies are left abandoned just metres from the yawning pit, as cars hang precariously over the edge. Beneath many more vehicles lie on top of each other, smashed to pieces.
The collapse happened on Monday when government troops launched a massive assault on the mall where up to 150 people are thought to have been killed.
During the firefight, hostages reportedly had their throats slashed from ear to ear and were thrown screaming from third-floor balconies as the siege came to a bloody end. Forensics teams, still sifting through the mountains of rubble, fear many more bodies are yet to be found.
Shell-shocked Kenyan troops said the inside of the Israeli-run mall resembled a 'scene from a horror movie' with blood spattered everywhere and dead bodies strewn across the floor.
One soldier told the Daily Mirror: 'I have seen many bad things, but this will haunt me for the rest of my days.'
The main thrust of the operation began at 6am on Monday when troops and helicopters surrounded the building, but their efforts were hampered by an Al Shabaab sniper who managed to pin them back for nearly 24 hours.
As tear gas was used to try to flush him out, another terrorist reportedly blew himself up. It is believed the resulting fire may have killed dozens of shoppers in a supermarket.
The following day, the soldiers were ordered to adopt a 'shoot to kill' policy and launched their final attack on the terror group on the roof of the mall at 5pm.
The mall was retaken about half an hour later.

Barrow Creek Telegraph Station Historical Reserve
Barrow Creek was named in 1860 by John McDouall Stuart after J H Barrow, a member of the South Australian Parliament.
The site for the Telegraph Station was chosen in September 1871 by John Ross' Overland Telegraph exploring party, which was assessing Stuart's route to set up a telegraph line through Central Australia.
The site was chosen due to the presence of surface water and for a well site of about 10 to 12 feet.
By 1880 the station was very much in its present form with an elaborate stone fence, wagon shed, blacksmith's hut, cemetery and a verandah on the western side of the main building.
A century later the microwave telecommunications link replaced the telephone carrier wave system making the Barrow Creek Telegraph Station redundant.
The Telegraph Station was one of fifteen original stations, three of which are now managed by Parks and Wildlife as Historical Reserves, the other two being Alice Springs and Tennant Creek.

Jesus isn't impressed by our feelings of moral outrage at injustice.
by Karen Swanson and Wendy Martin
The influx of Jewish refugees into the United States during World War II led to a significant increase in the level of anti-Semitism in this country. The 1947 Academy Award winning film Gentleman's Agreement confronted this blatant discrimination in areas such as jobs, housing, health care, and social structures.
Toward the end of the film, we see a conversation between Kathy and Dave, a life-long Jewish American. Kathy declared to Dave that she is not prejudiced, which she supported with the fact that she conceived of the writing of an article on anti-Semitism. She went on to reinforce her open-mindedness by telling Dave how offended she was when a man at a dinner party told a bigoted joke and used racial slurs.
Dave responded by asking Kathy what she did. She replied, "I wanted to yell at him. I wanted to get up and leave. I wanted to say to everyone at that table, 'Why do we sit here and take it when he is attacking everything we believe in?'" Rather than responding, Dave repeated the questions and asked what she did. She replied, "I just sat there, I felt ashamed. We all just sat there."
Kathy ultimately realized that sitting there condoned the prejudices. Without action, nothing would change.
Like Kathy, many of us just sit there when we are faced with the realization of the things that break God's heart. We hear of prejudice or sexual slavery or poverty or of unsaved people, but we just sit there. Like Kathy, we may feel ashamed or get upset when people attack everything we believe in; however, many of us stay at the table and do nothing. We congratulate ourselves on our personal feelings of outrage or on our good intentions to do something—similar to Kathy's idea of writing the article, but we never act. We never fight.
Jesus doesn't give us the option of not fighting. He isn't impressed by our feelings of moral outrage at injustice. He asks us to fix things. But, like Kathy, we frequently rationalize our inaction. We may rationalize that we don't have the skills or heart to change something. Or we rationalize that someone may do things better. For example, we rationalize not sharing the gospel because we're not gifted in evangelism. We rationalize not feeding the poor because we're not gifted in helps, or we rationalize not tutoring at-risk youth because we're not gifted at teaching.
God, however, calls us to do something, even if it is not in a specific area of our giftedness. Some examples include: care for the earth (Gen. 1), care for the poor, widow, the orphan (Isa. 10:2), welcome the alien and stranger (Deut. 10:18-19), to speak up for those who are oppressed (Prov. 31:8-9), to be generous with those in need (Acts 10:2), to care for the sick, visit the prisoner, and to provide food, drink, and clothing for those in need (Matt. 25:34-40).

Academic Excellence
St. Croix Catholic School develops the WHOLE child – Mind, Body, and Spirit. The teachers and staff recognize that every student has a beautiful temperament and personality created by God. The gifts your child brings to the classroom, coupled with our teachers' expertise and love creates an environment for students that is challenging, structured, and most of all – filled with a joy of learning.
At St. Croix Catholic, you can expect:
Small classroom sizes
Individual Student Assessments
Continual striving for excellence
Regular communication with teachers
Whole child progress reports (academic, social, spiritual)
Respectful learning environment*
Ark of Angels
, our preschool program (serving ages 3-5), is unique to the St. Croix Valley in that it combines two time-tested concepts into a single educational experience for your preschooler. Faith-based education and Montessori-driven learning is a perfect match. Our Catholic faith teaches us that each child brought into the world is a unique and cherished individual, and Montessori-based education strives to bring out that individuality, seeking and unfolding the child's unique interests, talents, and skills.
Our primary (grades K-2) and intermediate (grades 3-5) programs
emphasize basics in language arts, reading, science, and mathematics. Spanish, social studies, art, music, library skills, physical education, and religion round out our sound curriculum. In these grades, our teachers strive to instill in children a virtuous character, which naturally leads to a desire to achieve academic excellence.
Our middle school (grades 6-8) program
challenges the middle school student's mind with a rigorous curriculum and further develops the moral conscience. St. Croix Catholic is the first Catholic school in the state of Minnesota to implement Project Lead The Way (PLTW), the nation's leading Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum. This hands-on way of learning has opened up exciting real world learning opportunities for our students.
Enrichment activities abound at St. Croix Catholic - within the school day, as well as before and after school: Lego League, Math Team, Chess Club, Student Council, Yearbook, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Little Flowers, Art Adventure, Band, Orchestra, Academic Quiz Bowl, Spelling Bee, Geography Bee, Science Fair, Junior Great Books, and Creative Kids Club (our before/after childcare program).
Please contact our principal, Sr. Martha Ann, to learn more about Academic Excellence at St. Croix Catholic: firstname.lastname@example.com or 651-439-5581.
Responsive Classroom
, a widely used, research-backed approach to education is implemented throughout St. Croix Catholic. Research shows schools who invest in this program see an increase in academic achievement, decrease in problem behaviors, improvement in social skills, and the assurance of an environment that allows for high-quality instruction.

|Bottle: Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Whispers of Velvet'
Thermal polish has really grown on me ever since I got my first one, Femme Fatale's 'Fortune Teller's Charm', mainly out of curiosity. They just add an extra layer of interest to the manicure, and I like how it creates a gradient effect when the tips are cooler than the base of the nails.
Initially I planned on doing a design that would incorporate two thermal polishes, like I did in this design. Unfortunately it's been a very busy time for me lately, so I ended up with this simple stamped design over Femme Fatale's 'Whispers of Velvet'.
|Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Whispers of Velvet' - three coats with top coat
Then I stamped over it with a scale pattern from MoYou London's Sailor 03 plate, and gold stamping polish by Colour Alike called 'Golden Queen'.
|'Whispers of Velvet': cold
|'Whispers of Velvet': warm
Here's a collage showing the colour transition from cold to warm:

Peldon Great Wigborough Little Wigborough Salcott Virley
Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council held at Salcott Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 12th April 2011.
Present: Les Lapwood, Jane Banks, Charles Dymond, Lynne Simmons, Jinny Gale, Phil Gladwin, Nicky Ellis, John Walker, Kevin Bentley, John Jowers and 2 members of public
Apologies for absence: Netty Knill-Jones, Andrew Ellis
Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the chairman
Borough Councillors: Flytipping is a serious problem at present and CBC is working hard to clear up dumped rubbish quickly and also investigate the perpetrators so that they can be prosecuted. Pete Tye Common is constantly being targeted by offenders and had got quite untidy all over the car park. The Parish Council would like to express their thanks to the Tamblyns for making an extremely good job of clearing up all the loose bits and pieces that had been left from endless dumping and collecting.
More applications for Abberton Reservoir Community Fund should be submitted and the procedure for processing applications will be improved. It is felt that Peldon Village Hall should get a decent amount of the funds as it has and will be in the future used for communicating to the public on matters relating to the reservoir works.
The government has allocated a large sum of money for getting all the pot holes mended. In this area the materials used have now been improved and in general and where possible all the pot holes in one road are mended together.
County Councillors: The Localism Bill will probably be passed in November which will bring certain responsibilities back to community level, planning being one them. More training from CBC for parish councillors will be required. The levy on building houses will help to ensure the infrastructure is in place for new developments.
The Big Society Fund is available for rapid response for urgent needs projects. ECC has saved a large amount of money from backroom jobs rather than shutting libraries, etc.
Community Asset Transfer will release money to give back more to rural villages.
