The Impact of Culture on the Mental Health of Ethnic Minority from Nigeria living in the United Kingdom
eBook (PDF), 100 Pages
Price: $75.00
The mental health of ethnic minorities is important in a multicultural society because it is necessary to try to understand different perspectives in order to formulate inclusive policies. It has been well established that culture has an impact on mental health and that mental health workers should have a due regard for the culture of all those that they provide professional care. Although a lot of research has been presented on various aspects of the mental health of ethnic minorities in the UK, those who have had roots in Africa have been a neglected community. The British have had a very old relationship with Nigeria, which is the most populous country in Africa, and this country was a former British colony. It has been estimated that there are now about 800,000 to 3 million people of Nigerian decent who live in the UK. This dissertation presents a study that attempts to examine the impact of culture on the mental health of the Nigerian British.

Flexible Trialling
We are flexible, think Yoga Master flexible!
With 40 years of experience in independent Hearing Care, we know that what suits one person isn't generally the best for the next. And because we are independent we can explain the benefits and drawbacks of all the different hearing aid styles impartially – we're not tied to any one manufacturer and our decisions are made on how each style would benefit your specific hearing loss, lifestyle and cosmetic requirements.
To maximise the benefits of our independence and choice, we offer flexible trialling. Allowing you to discover for yourself the devices that are best for your needs.
60 Day Money-Back dual trial
Over a 60 day period you trial two of the most suitable hearing aid devices for your needs from different manufacturers, each with their own individual approach to hearing loss -this allows you to be sure of the device that suits you best. If neither device suits you – you're guaranteed a full refund. No quibbles, no small print. We'll only be happy when you are!
60 Day Invisible Trial
When invisibility and discretion are key, we've found that you can't have too much choice – especially with DigiClear to guide you. We start your 60 Day Invisible Trial with taking impressions of your ears that are sent to a choice of the best laboratories in the UK for scanning. We then decide which manufacturer can custom-make the most cosmetic device for your ear shape. Whilst this is happening we fit you with Phonak Lyric, the only 100% invisible device on the market that also offers 24/7 hearing and natural hearing quality. When your custom-made devices arrive for fitting we remove Lyric and switch over to your custom devices for your comparison and assessment. The cost of this service is £395 and is fully deductible from any resulting device purchase.
Arrange an assessment with us to find out more and discuss which options suit you best… And into downward dog.

ERISA-DOL Issues Updated COBRA Notices, As Part Of Its Affordable Care Act Implementation
The U.S. Department of Labor (the "DOL") announces that it has issued revised, updated COBRA notices in its FAQs about Affordable Care Act Implementation (Part XIX). Here is what the FAQs say:
Qualified Beneficiaries. In general, under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA"), an individual who was covered by a group health plan on the day before the occurrence of a qualifying event (such as a termination of employment or a reduction in hours that causes loss of coverage under the plan) may be able to elect COBRA continuation coverage upon that qualifying event. Individuals with such a right are referred to as "qualified beneficiaries".
COBRA Notices. Under COBRA, group health plans must provide covered employees and their families with certain notices explaining their COBRA rights. A group health plan must provide each covered employee and spouse (if any) with a written notice of COBRA rights "at the time of commencement of coverage" under the plan (the "General Notice"). After a qualifying event has occurred, a group health plan must also provide qualified beneficiaries with a notice which describes their rights to COBRA continuation coverage and how to elect this coverage (the "Election Notice").
Affordable Care Act And Other Laws. Some qualified beneficiaries may want to consider and compare health coverage alternatives to COBRA continuation coverage, such as coverage that is available through the Health Insurance Marketplace (the "Marketplace"). Qualified beneficiaries may be eligible for a premium tax credit (a tax credit to help pay for some or all of the cost of coverage in plans offered through the Marketplace) and cost-sharing reductions (amounts that lower out-of-pocket costs for deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments), and may find that Marketplace coverage is more affordable than COBRA.
The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 ("CHIPRA") specifies that an employer that maintains a group health plan in a State that provides premium assistance for the purchase of coverage under a group health plan is required to notify each employee of potential opportunities currently available for premium assistance in the State in which the employee resides.
Model Notices. The DOL has model notices that plans may use to satisfy the requirement to provide the General Notice and Election Notice under COBRA, and the notice regarding premium assistance under CHIPRA. The COBRA model Election Notice was revised on May 8, 2013 to help make qualified beneficiaries aware of other coverage options that would soon become available in the Marketplace. The DOL is now issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, as well as updated versions of the model General Notice and model Election Notice that reflect that the Marketplace is now open and that better describes special enrollment rights in Marketplace coverage. The DOL is also issuing a revised CHIPRA notice with similar updates related to Marketplace coverage.
Obtaining A Copy Of The Revised Notices. The model General Notice and model Election Notice are available on the DOL website at www.dol.gov/ebsa/cobra.html and the model CHIPRA notice is available at http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/compliance_assistance.html. (The model notices are available in modifiable, electronic form). As with the earlier model notices, in order to use the model properly, the plan administrator must complete it by filling in the blanks with the appropriate plan information.
Contemporaneous with the issuance of these FAQs, DOL is also issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to update its regulations with respect to the COBRA model notices. Until rulemaking is finalized and effective, the DOL will consider use of the model notices available on its website, appropriately completed, to constitute compliance with the notice content requirements of COBRA.

"I'm sorry to say that he's right. The Jews want this war so badly they are pissing their pants. They planned WWIII more than 100 years ago and they will not let anybody or anything stop it!
This is their great moment, their chance to complete the enslavement of us human beings, plunge the world into darkness and chaos while creating Satan's New World Order.
Anybody but me think it's high time to start burning Jews at the stake again?"
This is their great moment, their chance to complete the enslavement of us human beings, plunge the world into darkness and chaos while creating Satan's New World Order.
Anybody but me think it's high time to start burning Jews at the stake again?"
This makes me so angry. People see the truth but refuse to understand it. The "Jews" are not Freemasons or Rosicrucians. The "Jews" are not the Illuminati. It's not some Devil-worshipping secret sect. It's not a control-the-world-and-enslave-them freak club. Right now, the "Jews" are doing their level best to just keep their lives and their land.
The "Jews" are not the ones trying to plunge the world into darkness and usher in "Satan's new World Order." They don't worship Satan, they don't like Satan; Satan is an evil deciever, wandering the earth searching for what he can kill, steal, and destroy. He is not an angel of light- He used to be, yes, but then he rebelled against YHWH and was thrown out of Heaven. He may appear to some as an angel of light, but that's because he is a powerful and artistic copy-cat, trying to convince humans to worship him- and succeeding very well at it.
Yes, someone has planned WW3 for quite some time, and someone has been planning a great many things for a long while- but it wasn't the "Jewish" people. It has always been directed at the "Jewish" people. Why? Because they're special. Because they represent the fact that there is a god greater than themselves. That this god blesses those who bless His people and curses those who curse them. That this god fights for His people against His enemies- and even when punishing His people He always leaves a remnant to tell the story, to bring glory to His name. That god is YHWH, and He will never pass away. He cannot be conquered. Even Death cannot stop Him, because His sovereign hand governs even this.
If you burned at the stake every "Jew" you could ever find, YHWH would still have hidden some from you. With persecution, faith grows and spreads. When that faith is pure and protected by the creator of the universe, there is no way to extinguish it. You will be destroyed in His rage and by the fire of his wrath before that can ever happen. You will not defeat those who choose to obey him, who put their trust in Him. Never.
So, the "Jews" are not your real problem, my Adversary.

Help! My Boyfriend's Friends Are Racist Bullies. Should I Dump Him?
Dear Prudence answers more of your questions—only for Slate Plus members.
Every week, Mallory Ortberg answers additional questions from readers, just for Slate Plus members.
Q. Boyfriend's racist, misogynistic friends: My wonderful boyfriend of a little over year came with a group of intolerable friends. I'm talking homophobia ("gay" is their favorite insult), misogynistic (an all-boys text group where they talk disrespectfully about their wives), and racist. They even had a party where someone came in blackface as an "African rape victim" and took photos of her being fake assaulted. To boot, they're bullies and the guys love to get belligerently drunk and start bar fights.
In the last few months, my boyfriend has cut off that group for those reasons—but he was best friends with them for 16 years! I'm a queer, feminist activist and he shares my politics and loves me immensely, but how do I trust someone who was best friends with people like that for so long? He says he was lonely and struggling after his mom's premature death in college and latched onto the first group that welcomed him. But 16 years with people who are against gay marriage and adoption and defend colonialism? Help.
A: It's great that your boyfriend has decided to cut ties with these guys, but if I were in your situation, I can't imagine staying with him. It took him 16 years—and, I'm guessing, no small amount of encouragement from you—to decide that the kind of men who think being gay is the worst thing a person can be, who think of dressing up as "African rape victims" and pantomiming sexual assault, weren't the kind of people he wanted to keep close to his heart. That's 16 long years of not saying anything, since it doesn't sound like he has a long history of challenging those beliefs. Losing your mother at a young age is difficult, but it doesn't make racism, misogyny, drunken belligerence, or homophobia OK. Neither does loneliness. We all get lonely; that's not a good reason to give blackface a pass.
That's not to say he's a terrible and irredeemable person, nor does it mean that you should only date people with perfect, unblemished personal histories. But if I were in your shoes, I'd ask myself: Does this guy have a history of standing up to racist, sexist, homophobic behavior, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable to do so? Am I impressed with his courage and character as he displays it in his personal life, not just in theory? Does he generally cultivate friendships with people I respect and want to spend more time with? Does he have a strong sense of self that I admire? Does he have any remaining friends now that he's cut off contact with the active racists? If you find something you can work with in the answers to those questions, then great! You might get to watch your boyfriend develop a totally different, vastly improved sort of life. If you don't, then I think you have more than enough justification to wish him the best and look for someone else.

The Swedish company Volvo never fails to impress. The 2015 Volvo V60 T5 Drive-E is simply an amazing showcase of style, performance and power. As the corporate struggles in order to make inroads towards the US market this may function as the right model to unsettle the marketplace. In 2015 year's Chicago Auto show the V60 created a significant buzz for many the ideal reasons.
The form is intriquing dynamic. It features a sleek appearance having a calm interior. It's sporty look, unusual to the boxy design from the previous Volvo cars. The aggressive look is featured with low ride height, 19″ alloy wheels, anti-roll bars, paddle shifters upon the steering wheel. The optional sports seats provide great support for the back and keep your driver from sliding around while negotiating corners. New digital gauges are now upon the dash and they could offer different modes which depend are you currently inside an economical or sporty mood. The central console is designed with HVAC control, navigation and infotainment system.
The 2015 Volvo V60 T5 is perfect mixture of power and speed. Besides its turbo charging capability puts it among the very best auto machines to become unveiled inside the US market. In quite simply disputes the myth that Volvo Isn't a quick car. It's the 8 forward speeds with a really smooth automatic transmission. Its speed capability is 0 to 60 mph in just 6 secs. The car depicts Drive-E power trains which may also be offered over the Volvo models. Nevertheless the car doesn't possess the electric propulsion capability. This will certainly be featured inside the soon to become launched hybrid versions.
The engine features a 2-litre direct injection turbo four cylinders. This has got the capacity to supply 240 horsepower and powerful 258 pound-feet of torque. This really is far better when compared towards the BMW 328i sports Wagon. Concentrating on the same 2-litre turbo and 240 horsepower it only produces 255-feet pound feet torque. The car is very smooth and really simple to drive. Its supple automatic speed transmission helps make the power band just right. The front wheel drive if well fitted using the all weather wheels it may overcome all of the worst roads.
The V60 Volvo tops the economy ratings. Having a fuel consumption of 37 miles per gallon when driving on the highway which drops drastically to 25 miles per gallon it beats it BMW counterparts hands down. It combines efficiency power and fuel consumption inside an amazing way.
Equally the car offers value for money. You might be surprised it costs a smaller amount. The 2015 Volvo V60 T5 Drive-E is really a front wheel enabled car having a starting price of $35, 750. With increased options the car may stretch as much as a limit of $6, 000. For a further all wheel drive the car would cost a further $1, 500. However to obtain the all wheel drive one can be forced go to the bigger, turbo 5-cylinder engine. Also, big engines can be found. The 3. 0 liter turbo six cylinders is much more powerful.

SPECIAL ALERT: BUDGET HEADS TO GOV. DOYLE After months of negotiation, the Democrats finally emerged from their secret meetings this week to present a final budget. It just passed the Assembly on a vote of 51-46 and will now head to Governor Doyle for his vetoes and signature.
As you know, I have spent the last six months fighting against the damaging tax increases in this budget. While we can claim a few wins, including the removal of the gas tax increase, removal of non-fiscal policy that would have rewarded trial lawyers by making it easier to sue, and also the removal of a driver card for illegal aliens, this budget is still a huge tax increase on middle-class families.
If you own a home, a cell phone, a car, have a kid in college, have a retirement account, have a child in daycare, pay for a health care premium, smoke cigarettes, download ringtones, music or books, or have a loved one in a nursing home, you will pay more.
All I can say to taxpayers tonight is that I am sorry. I am terribly disappointed in the outcome. I wish that Democrats would have done the right thing by cutting government instead of raising taxes by $4 billion and increasing spending by almost 7%.
Instead they have relied on wishful thinking to convince themselves that this is the best they could do for the citizens of Wisconsin. They are wishing we had a better economy, but have done nothing to make that so. They are wishing that this budget was balanced, but they know we will have another budget deficit in two years. Finally, they are wishing that Wisconsinites will forget this budget when they go to the ballot box next November. I'm certain that this budget is so reckless it will be impossible for any of us to forget what has happened here tonight.

large size CBS.log files creating, was never before
Recently when I use favorite ccleaner software to clean my temp files, I notice that there is large size file is creating by name of CBS.log in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS with size of 200 MB or more.
I never had this issue before and it seems that this causes a high usage of cpu and hard drive speed,which causes affect on my gaming experience or other works.
do anyone has any idea why it's creating and why so large? also any suggest to prevent it?
|My System Specs

Windows 10 Pro X64
CBS.log is where SFC (System File Cleaner) among others writes it's information. 200MB is not a lot so I wouldn't be too concerned.
|My System Specs
|29 May 2015
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Copy pasted if sounds a little off, so bear with me:
Hey, there is a known issue with a recent Windows Update (KB3022345), it causes an irrepairable corruption warning (which is a false report, the files are not corrupt in reality). If you have this update installed then do one of the following:
- Uninstall this update (it is Windows 10 preparation update) or
- Run the fix from http://thetechcookbook.com/windows-7-update-kb3022345-causing-corrupt-files/
After the above, run another SFC /scannow. If you still get a corruption, attach it in your next post.
Check your CBS.log afterwards, I did have a large log also and corrected after fixing and rerunning the scan. maybe it will help you too. If it doesn't Ztrucker already gave you the answer.
|My System Specs
|31 May 2015
The CBS.log file should NOT be removed - it contains vital diagnostic data.
It's also almost permanently in use by the System account.
It grows to a point, and is then archived by the system into the CBSPersist.CAB files you'll find in the same folder.
I have occasionally seen the CBS log get out of control and grow to over 2GB - but this is rare.
150-200MB is not unusual, and usually compresses down to around 10MB as a CAB file on archiving.
I'd leave all the files in the C:\Windows\Logs folder well alone - they don't really take up all that much space. If your system actually does need that space, then it's time for a new hard drive!
|My System Specs
|26 Oct 2015
Windows 7 Home Premium and Enterprise x64
My CBS folder was over 10GB, with two 3.5GB CBS log files, two 1.75 to 1.8 GB log files, and a few 500 to 700 MB log files. Needless to say, I blew all but the most recent CBS log file away.
|My System Specs
|28 Oct 2015
You can delete the oversized CBS log files (over about 800MB) - they are likely to be totally confusing, even if I could actually read them in a decent viewer. Files of that size, I have to use a Hex viewer for , and then trim out anything outside the first and last error statement, and hope that I can read the rest.
How big is the current CBS.log?
|My System Specs
|01 Dec 2015
@NoelDP - I'm having a similar, albeit more extreme, problem. Using WinDirStat, I have identified that the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS on my machine is now at 106 GB. My CBS.log file has grown to 8.3 GB, and I have a few CbsPersist_[x].log files >5 GB.
Does anyone have a thought as to a root cause here? I've seen recommendations elsewhere to disable TrustedInstaller.exe, delete all the logs, and then re-enable the .exe file. Source: windows 8 - Why is CBS.log file size 20 GB - Super User

|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2015
@NoelDP - wanted to follow up on my last post.
It worked! I followed the advice of poster: Gin in the following SuperUser forum: Why is CBS.log file size 20 GB. Don't be alarmed that the thread is in the Windows 8 section, I am using a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OS.
I disabled the TrustedInstaller.exe in the Services tab of Task Manager. Then I deleted the 100+ GB of data in the C:\windows\logs\cbs directory. Then I enabled TrustedInstaller.exe again, and Windows immediately made a fresh new log.
I guess I will have to continue this process until I can find a permanent fix. In the last 3 weeks, I have a CbsPersist_[x].log file that has grown to 11GB. All scans of my system by my Anti-Virus and by MalwareBytes have come up with no malicious software. I guess it's just Windows acting like Windows :/
|My System Specs
|25 Apr 2016
Windows 7
I had 11.0 GB of files here - all the "Persist" logs. I removed all of them. The CBS.log file itself was small, but the others were all 1.0 GB or higher. One of them was even 5.7GB. This is really ridiculous. An average user would never have found these.

Freeing Yourself From Unrelenting Customers
Sometimes it's not about connecting — it's about disconnecting. As customer service and technical support representatives we have legions of customers to serve. Yet sometimes the ones we're serving won't release us so we can serve others. The art of closing tech support calls can be difficult for many. Yet CSRs and TSRs with crib sheets of phrases can simply invoke the appropriate one to conclude elongated conversations and focus on patiently waiting queued callers.
I teach representatives to use pauses, changes in intonation and standard phrases to let callers know their call is being closed. Consciously and subconsciously, the listener will respond to such cues, while still feeling valued as a customer.
Chapter and Terse
Many service reps find it easier to deliver bad news if they're just quoting established policy or guidelines. It's important you let the caller know you are responsible for closing this call and attending to others that await you.
"Well, Mr. Johnson, my queue awaits. It's been my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for calling."
"Ms. Tremble, in order to answer this new question I need to open up a separate call; that would put you at the end of the queue. Let me tell you how you can get this information for yourself. Previous callers have found more immediate relief through our web-based FAQ section. From our website's home page simply type /support/FAQ.htm and it will load."
"Our policy requires that you to attempt these workarounds before we can authorize further actions. Call us back as soon as you've ruled out the two workarounds we've discussed today. I've recorded our conversation in the file so whoever you speak with will know the background. Good luck."
At the Tone…
Often we can signal a call's conclusion through a change in our intonation. In this case, when we lower our voice it signals the end of our conversation. Often preceded by a deliberate (A.K.A. pregnant) pause to indicate a changing of the conversation, we lower our voice and issue our stock goodbye:
(Pause, and in a lower voice) "Mr. Arnold, we're sorry for the inconvenience this problem has caused, and confident we've solved the problem today. Thank you for your continued support of Zed Computing Systems." (Pause again for his buy-in of our sign-off.)
Sum Time
One of the best ways of disengaging is through summarizing the call so as to include its ending. When we recap the call for the caller we explain why they called, the proposed remedy or workaround, and conclusion. Thus you've signified the end of the call.
"So let's summarize: your program was crashing in conjunction with Camelot software. We reconfigured our program to launch before Camelot, tested it and it no longer crashes. I'll pass a memo to engineering to further examine this conflict. Meanwhile you are up and running again. Here's the call #; I've closed the call. Should you have further problems just call back. It's been a pleasure to serve you Mr. Tuttle."
Follow Your Lead
Alternately, you can close a call with agreed upon action items for the caller. In your summary you can enumerate steps they are to employ before calling back. Ideally one of these steps will generate the desired solution.
"OK Ms. Franke, after hanging up we agree you'll do the following:
1. Back up all your data files
2. Change the memory allocation to the program
3. Load Update 3.3
4. Reboot the system
5. Repeat the original actions that led to your call
If the problem still isn't solved we'll expect a call back. If we don't hear back from you in two days we'll close the call. Thank you for your patience. It's been our pleasure to work this through with you."
Closing Questions
You can also close calls with summary questions to obtain your caller's buy-in and give them that "well served" feeling:
"Before I close this call, are you receiving our e-letter on latest program enhancements and workarounds? It's very useful for frequently asked questions?"
"Before we close this call, would you be interested in learning more about our training and consulting solutions? I'd be happy to have one of our company reps call you to describe the many options available to train you and your staff on our products and how best to employ them." (After his or her answer, issue your standard goodbye.)
The End!
For best results, use a combination of auditory and verbal cues to let your callers know you're ending their call. Each technique works best in concert with others: pauses, lowering the voice, using stock phrases and obtaining their buy-in on your sign-off all work together to signal the close of your conversation. And don't forget to smile as you bid your callers adieu.

Trunk Call
Manjushaa is back, this time with Indo-western and a kids series as well
SISTERS Ayshwarya (35) and Soundarya Srinivasan's (32) venture 'Manjushaa' began as an attempt to design and source elegant jewellery for themselves and friends for special occasions. That has ballooned into the business it is now — with a website for sales, as well as exhibitions held every quarter for antique, temple and kundan jewellery. The first this year, the day-long event to be held at the Banquet Hall of Mahamudra restaurant, Isha Life, tomorrow will showcase the Haute Summer Collection, which include the new Indo-Western and kids' collections.
Chennai-based Manjushaa, which started in 2009, implies 'box of jewels' and their online store caters to the urban working woman who wants that one piece of jewellery that makes a style statement. Expect mostly copper-based creations with gold polish. Ayshwarya says, "Chennai shoppers still like minimalistic designs and our earrings are quite popular. Temple jewellery sets have always been easy picks with our customers."
In addition to some pieces that have been designed by the duo, they have sourced pieces from all over India like Jaipur and Mumbai among other cities. "We want every piece of jewellery to be unique and handpicked. Our target audience is 25-40 year-old women," shares Ayshwarya. Offering temple and antique sets, kundan, polki anklets, traditional tikkas, bangles, bracelets, armlets and watches — this time, watch out for the earrings set with turquoise, kid's earrings for occasions and workwear that feature unusual studs.
Rs 200 onwards. At Mahamudra, Mylapore. From tomorrow, 11am – 7pm. Details: firstname.lastname@example.com

US-Colombia Free-Trade Deal Becomes Effective May 15
The U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement will become effective May 15, President Barack Obama announced Sunday, during the two-day Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia.
This agreement will provide American businesses, farmers, and ranchers with significantly improved access to the third-largest economy in South America, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said in a statement.
Last year, the U.S. had gross domestic product of $15.06 trillion and Colombia had GDP of $321.5 billion, according to estimates in the CIA's World Factbook.
Nonetheless, Kirk said: One month from today, the value of the U.S.-Colombia trade agreement will begin to be seen in lower tariffs on autos, consumer goods, agricultural commodities, machinery, and other exports from the United States, which will make our goods more competitive in the Colombian market. That means support for well-paying jobs at home.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was also effusive about the pact, according to Reuters, which noted he said free trade with the U.S. had been a Colombian dream for 20 years that has finally come true.
At a news conference with Obama, Santos said, This will create thousands, millions of jobs in the United States and Colombia, Reuters reported.
However, the politically powerful AFL-CIO took a dim view of the U.S.-Colombia free-trade agreement, with the labor organization's president, Richard Trumka, calling its implementation deeply disappointing and troubling.
In a joint statement, Trumka, Central Unitaria de Trabajadores de Colombia President Luís Miguel Morantes, and Confederacion de Trabajadores de Colombia President Tarcisio Mora Godoy said:
We have been monitoring the progress of the Action Plan [on Labor Rights] and conclude that, although new laws and directives are in place, the Government of Colombia has not yet demonstrated successful implementation.
Workers across the whole economy continue to be forced into indirect employment relationships -- preventing them from exercising their rights to free association and collective bargaining -- because the Government has not completely lived up to its promises regarding cooperatives and other employment relationships that affect labor rights.
Nor has the Government of Colombia compiled a successful record of criminal prosecutions of employers who illegally interfere with workers' fundamental rights. Labor activists and other human rights defenders remain subject to threats and violence, including murder, when they stand up to fight for their rights.
About two dozen Colombian union leaders were killed last year alone, according to the AFL-CIO.

Programme A & B
Vozdukh Dance Company
DEPO (large)
Friday 22 April, 2016 | 5:30pm–6:10pm
AllThatICanBe is a piece about the search for the true and whole I. What does it mean to belong to yourself, to control yourself and to be yourself? It seems as a simple state but people hardly stay in it. We disintegrate. Suppressed fear, anger and despondency enslave us more and more. We are looking for truth, meaning, we trust our obsessive thoughts but feelings and sensations. But maybe to know the truth it is worth a try to abandon the knowledge. And then, perhaps, there will be nothing more powerful and creative than emptiness which we are trying to fill...
Choreography: Oleg Stepanov & Alexey Torgunakov (mover|evermore creative duet)
Dance: Vozdukh dance company (Julia Blokhina, Ksenia Burmistrova, Liubov Perova)
Light design: Oleg Stepanov, Igor Fomin
Music: Dag Rosenqvist & Rutger Zuyderlvelt, Evgeniy Fomin, Oleg Stepanov

"A dear uncle was a patient of this hospital. At that time we were impressed by the quality of care he received at all levels. Our opinion was so high that we decided to volunteer at this hospital. In the past two years we had the opportunity to meet a lot of dedicated people who work at HSC who make this hospital what it is today."
"I was looking for a volunteer position which also matched my academic interest in Speech Language Pathology. When I came across this opportunity to work as a Speech Therapy volunteer, I was thrilled. It has given me a great insight into the profession as well as allowed me to make a wonderful friend."
"I love little kids; I have the time and energy to give back to the community and heard what a great place HSC is, especially Pediatrics. I play, read to the kids, listen, sing, dance - be a kid again!"
"The Pediatric unit has many wonderful and dedicated volunteers. The roles they play are as diverse as the patient population they serve. Our volunteers read or sing to the children who can't often leave their rooms. Our babies benefit from the volunteers by being comforted, walked, and played with. It is not unusual to see volunteers on the floor playing with and interacting with the toddlers. Volunteers play games, read to, and play dolls with our elementary aged patients. Volunteers also play video games with our older patients. For some it is the highlight of their week. It is wonderful to have the opportunity for these special patients to have the extra attention and stimulation the volunteers give to them. Our volunteers are invaluable to the entire pediatric unit."

With Chuck Shepherd
The other world series
In October, another premier world sports event reached its climax, with one team left standing, rewarded for months of grueling practices, to the cheers of adoring, frenzied fans. The "world series" of professional team computer games was settled on a stage in a packed, 40,000-seat stadium in Seoul before three gigantic TV screens and an Internet audience of millions. The powerhouse Samsung White team out-moused and -keyboarded the Chinese champions at "League of Legends" (which 27 million gamers worldwide play every day), using its fantasy characters to destroy opponents' bases. The winning team took home $1 million of corporate money, but future earnings should escalate when idolized world-class players unionize and swing merchandising endorsement deals.
Can't possibly be true
Carnell Alexander at one point owed about $60,000 in child support for a kid he did not father (according to a DNA test) and knew nothing about, but despite "successfully" challenging the claim 20 years ago, he still owes about $30,000. The mother who accused him long ago admitted lying (in that naming a "father" was necessary to get welfare benefits), and while a judge thus wiped out Alexander's debt to her, the state of Michigan nonetheless still demands that Alexander repay benefits it had paid to the mother.
America's largest pornography website, PornHub.com, decided recently to erect a public billboard prominently encouraging the use of its service, first selecting as its location the New York City neighborhood formerly the smut epicenter of the city, Times Square. However, that area is now respectably tourist-friendly, and the billboard had to be relocated – to Los Angeles' West Hollywood, near the headquarters of PornHub's parent, MindGeek. The sign features a person's two thumbs and fingers forming a rough version of a heart, beside the message (inspired by a Beatles song), "All You Need Is Hand."
Brits behaving Britishly bad
(1) Literature professor Thomas Docherty was back at work in October following his nine-month suspension from the University of Warwick for "inappropriate sighing" during meetings with a senior colleague, along with "making ironic comments" and "negative body language." (2) In October, Andrew Davies, 51, was ordered by magistrates in High Wycombe, England, not to lie down in public places anymore (unless genuinely stricken by emergency). Previously, he had a habit of making bogus "999" (911) calls to get attention, and when police confiscated his phone, he began compensating by lying in roads until compassionate passersby called for ambulances.
The new math
More than 6 million students have downloaded the new iPhone app PhotoMath to solve Algebra I and Algebra II problems by pointing the phone's camera at a printed equation. The answer, and the explanation, quickly appear on a screen, as a teaching tool – or for the students to show "their" work if PhotoMath is used on exam questions. The Croatia-based developer told the Quartz website in October that it is working on upgrades for higher-level math equations (though no relief is in sight for those chronically pesky "word problems"). Meanwhile, the debate has been triggered over whether PhotoMath is a dynamic technological advance in education – or a cheating-enabler.

Tree Surgery Involves Various Operations
Any kind of tree surgery ensures that a yard will be more pleasing to the eye as well as secure. That is why you need to make sure you are partnered with a company that is well-experienced in this type of work. Plus, a tree surgeon can offer an array of services, each of which serve a vital purpose in enhancing the looks of your property's landscape.
Crown Reduction
Most tree surgery services include tree removal, crown reduction, pollarding, crown lifting, felling, and section felling. When a tree's crown is reduced, the branches are trimmed back to the side branches, minimising a tree's volume and size. However, the natural shape of the tree is retained. This operation is performed to increase the space and light in a garden.
In the case of pollarding, tree surgeons in SG13 prune a tree so its minor branches are removed. This operation promotes the growth of lateral branches and is undertaken about three metres above the ground.
Economical yet Efficient
Crown lifting is a process that increases the space between the crown and ground. Typically, the lower branches are removed to achieve this effect. This operation is an economical yet efficient way to add light into a garden area.
Felling and Section Felling
When tree felling is performed, the surgeon makes careful cuts at a trunk's base so the tree will be directed to fall safely. Section felling, on the other hand, is the careful dismantling of a tree. Rigging equipment must be used along with lowering ropes to section and remove the branches.

The Thurston County Sheriff's Office located a man believed to be a material witness in a June 22 fatal shooting on the 500 block of Dutterow Road.
Sgt. Carla Carter said that Enrique "Ricky" Lamere, 23, was found in Thurston County on Tuesday. She said that she couldn't comment on the nature of Lamere's involvement in the case.
"We're still interviewing him. All I can say is that it's an ongoing investigation," Carter said Tuesday night.
The Sheriff's Office sent out a notice Monday asking people for information about Lamere's whereabouts. His last known address was in Lacey.
Two men and one woman were shot to death early June 22 in a travel trailer on Dutterow Road: 31-year-old Terron R. McGrath of Olympia, 28-year-old Jackson L. Edens of Olympia, and 36-year-old Gerald M. Berkey of Elma.
Deputies found a half-pound of methamphetamine and a baseball-sized lump of black tar heroin in the trailer, along with several thousand dollars in cash, one handgun and five rifles, Chief Deputy Dave Pearsall said.
McGrath and Edens lived in the trailer, he said.
Deputies responded to the scene when a man called 911 about 5:15 a.m. June 22 and told dispatchers he had been shot, his friends were dead, and he didn't know where he was, according to Pearsall. Deputies used the man's cellphone signal to track the call to a small, fifth-wheel camping trailer behind a residence on the 500 block of Dutterow Road Southeast.
The caller was found lying on the ground near Dutterow, shot in the chest, and was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. The surviving victim underwent surgery and was in stable condition.
Pearsall said Friday the survivor isn't likely a person of interest. Detectives spoke with him Thursday and got his account of the events that unfolded, Pearsall said.

The Oppo Find 9 – rumours and leaks related to which have been far and few – will be launched on September 19, according to a Weibo tipster @Kjuma, who also posted a teaser image to back up their claim.
Specs-wise, the successor to the Find 7 – which was released back in May last year – is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 810 chipset, and sport a 5.5 inch 2K display. It is said to come with 4GB RAM, 21MP rear camera, as well as a fingerprint sensor, and run Android Lollipop OS out of the box.
Needless to say, none of this has been officially confirmed, so take it with a pinch of salt.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte speaks at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Business and Investment Summit (Abis) at the Solaire Hotel in Pasay on Sundya, Nov. 12, 2017. (Photo from an RTVM video)
President Rodrigo Duterte vowed on Sunday to adjust the 2018 national budget to support the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
"Next year I would like to make last minute changes in the GAA [General Appropriations Act], the annual budget. I would like to pour more money on these medium small and micro investors," Duterte said during his speech at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Business and Investment Summit (Abis) and the launch of the Asean Mentors for Entrepreneurship Network (Amen).
"So you guys, the small businessmen, maybe a few billions here and there would suffice," he added.
According to the President, the meetings in the recently-concluded Asia-Pacific economic (APEC) forum in Vietnam made him realize that "the basic unit of the economy has always been moved by MSMEs."
"I will review the budget with the [Budget] Secretary [Benjamin] Diokno and if I can add more, I'll ask Congress," he said.
"I never promised a paradise for us, but what I promised during the campaign is to make the lives of Filipinos more comfortable," he added.
The Philippines is the host of the 31st Asean Summit which will officially begin on Monday in Manila.

Configuring your Slicers
Slicer options on the ribbon
There is a host of settings you can apply to your slicers. The Ribbon shows most of them:
Ribbon (cut in two halves so it fits on this page) showing the slicer options tab.
The Slicer Tools contextual ribbon tab houses a number of groups to change your slicer's appearance and behavior. Let me discuss them here.
Slicer group
This group houses three important controls. You can change the name of a slicer here (Slicer Caption), change some settings controlling which items are listed in a slicer and how they are sorted and filtered (Slicer Settings). Also, you can set up which Pivottables connect to your slicer (I explain that below).
Slicer Styles Group
A quick way to format your slicers is by applying one of the built-in slicer styles. Like any style in Excel 2010, these adhere to the theme you've selected. This makes it easy to keep your workbook design tidy and consistent.
Like cell styles you can create your own slicer styles too, by right-clicking one of them and choosing "Duplicate", followed by right-clicking the newly duplicated style and choosing "Modify".
Buttons group
Just like you can easily change the colors of your slicers by applying a different style to the slicer it is simple to modify the button layout and appearance, just adjust the numbers in that group of the ribbon.
These three controls enable you to change the button layout and size
Size group
And last but not least a small group which lets you edit the button sizes.
Commands not in ribbon
Unfortunately, not everything you need is on the ribbon. The missing options are quickly accessible through the slicer's right-click menu however. Select the "Size and Properties" option to get there. Here you can control whether or not the slicer must be printed and should move/size with cells just like any other shape on a sheet. And you can turn off resizing and moving to prevent your users from messing with your layout.
Changing a Slicer's font size
If you've scurried through all slicer dialogs like I have, you'll have noticed there is no way to change the font size of a slicer.
Or is there? Of course there is, but is has been cunningly hidden!
The basic idea is that you must edit the slicer's style. But since you can only edit custom styles, the first step is to add a custom style. Pick one you like best and right-click it, then select Duplicate...:
Right-click a slicer style and select "Duplicate"
The second step is editing the new custom style. Right-click that style and select "Modify...":
Right-click a slicer style and select "Modify".
In the dialog that pops up, select "Whole Slicer" end then click the Format button:
The Modify slicer Quick style dialog.
As you can see in the screenshot below, now you can edit the slicer's Font.
Time to select a nicer font for your slicer!.
After you OK this dialog, probably nothing appears to happen to your slicer. Don't worry, all that is needed now is applying your new custom style to the slicer and you're done!
Controlling which pivots are handled by your slicers.
A very useful option of slicers is that you can tie them to more than one Pivottable and/or -chart.
The way to handle this is by selecting the slicer in question and then clicking the Pivottable Connections button in the Slicer Settings group on the Slicer Tools contextual ribbon tab:
the Pivottable Connections button in the Slicer Settings group on the Slicer Tools contextual ribbon tab.
This brings up the following tiny dialog:
the Pivottable Connections dialog.
As you can see, Excel has listed a couple of Pivottables in your file to tie the slicer to.
Luckily, Excel is smart enough to ensure that only Pivottables using the same cache as the selected slicer is tied to are in the list.
If you have more than one slicer on a particular field (e.g. a slicer on "City" on each sheet with a Pivottable), then you must take care when selecting which tables the slicer relates to. As soon as you check more than one check box, the slicers working on the checked Pivottables will be permanently tied together. The only way to make the slicers work independently again is by using the Undo button.

I'm afraid this is hard to trouble-shoot without the data or the file. You can contact me through the email address at the bottom of this page if you like?
Comment by: Hayden (9/11/2017 7:57:10 PM)
I have 2 connected Pivot Tables, 2 traditional slicers, and 1 timeline slicer. As it currently stands, the selection in the first slicer will effectively determine what options appear in the second slicer (ie. "Hide data with no value" works correctly). However, when I use the timeline slicer to choose a certain range of time, it does not remove options in the subsequent slicers that would now have no data matching the selected time frame. IS there a way to make the slicers recognize and respond to the timeline slicer's selection?
Comment by: Jan Karel Pieterse (9/12/2017 9:56:16 AM)
Hmm, I wouldn't have expected that to happen indeed. IMO this is a bug.

Comment by: Jan Karel Pieterse (10/19/2017 9:42:59 AM)
That would be hard to do as a pivot table does not allow you to filter itself to display no data at all to begin with. You can only filter it to show at least one existing category. That is, unless you change the source data of the PT after setting up that filter. If after a refresh of the data no applicable categories remain then your PT ends up without displaying data. So you try to could trick Excel into a state like than somehow.
Comment by: M.Matawie (11/14/2017 5:15:08 AM)
Real consolation will be the slicer. Fabulous! Made my filtering so much easier!!!
Comment by: Rita Lima (12/5/2017 2:54:07 AM)
Is it possible configure a background color of a Slicer item (Button) based on its value?
For example, I would like show my slicer like:
0 - 30 (button green)
31 - 60 (button yellow)
60+ (button red)
Thank you,

I'm afraid that cannot be done.

Two sphere UFOs described over Colorado Springs
Posted by: Roger Marsh December 17, 2014 1 Comment 2,069 Views
A Colorado witness at Colorado Springs reported watching two sphere-shaped UFOs move toward each other, circle each other, and then move away from each other in opposite directions, according to testimony in Case 62026 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside walking on December 1, 2014, when the object was first seen.
Living in the Colorado mountains you often see shooting stars and satellites, so I looked up to catch it, the witness stated. What I saw stunned me. There were two objects moving towards each other in a very controlled fashion.

The witness described the movement of the two objects.
Once they became close, they began to circle one another a few times. After this they quickly dashed away in opposite directions.
The witness has a background in aviation.
I have served time in the U.S. Air Force and have seen many craft in the air. Also, I have witnessed shooting stars, satellites, Chinese lanterns and other events in the sky living in Colorado and this event was like nothing I had ever experienced in my life.

The witness attempted to take photographs with his cell phone camera during the three-minute event, but the camera was not able to take night photos.
Colorado Springs is the county seat and most populous city of El Paso County, Colorado, population 439,886.
Colorado has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Colorado had 5 UFO reports that occurred during November 2014 calculated at 0.96 sightings per million population.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels 1 through 5 where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.
Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Strange Cloud Trail in Siberian Sky Caught on Video
Strange Cloud Trail in Siberian Sky Caught on Video
Published: 2:52 PM 12/18/2014
By WILL STEWART
Vapour trail is too haphazard in shape to have been made by an aircraft...
A UFO, meteor shower or a very drunk pilot? Mystery over the bizarre trail left in evening sky over Siberia.
Experts say the bizarre pattern could have been caused by a rocket launch, but some locals are putting the cloud down to extraterrestrial activity.
Twisting and seemingly metamorphosing with every passing second, it cast a ghostly spectre against the clear dawn sky.
For a while it was unclear what had caused the vapour trail over the southern Altai region, but it was too haphazard in shape to have been made by an aircraft.
The Siberian Times reported that with little else to go on, many speculated about the possibility of UFOs.
No official confirmation has been given by the authorities, but the strange artistic pretzel-like shape is likely to have been caused by a rocket launch minutes earlier.
Experts say the patterns are consistent with the second stage of disengagement as used parts of the rocket fall back to earth.
THIS mysterious Siberian cloud sparks UFO debate.
The Siberian Altai region is close to where a Proton-M rocket blasted off from its launch site across the border in Kazakhstan, and space debris does regularly land there.
It was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrone at 6.16am on December 15, carrying a Yamal-401 satellite.
A number of residents in the city of Barnaul, on the banks of the River Ob, caputred photos and videos of the subsequent glowing patterns.
Extremely cold weather is required to create such clouds, with vapour from the hot falling debris meeting the freezing air.
Natalia Pavlova, the head of the Barnaul planetarium, said the patterns could have been caused by the rocket launch, but stressed falling meteors was another explanation. However, there were no reports of meteors.
Residents in Russia are becoming used to seeing mysterious lights in the sky.
Last month an unexplained explosion was witnessed above Yekaterinburg, the country's fourth largest city.
Meteorites, missiles, a plane crash, and even extraterrestrial activity were among the many theories put forward to explain the incident on November 14.
But as more videos emerged of similar flashes in the sky, attention was focused on an old chemical plant that processes explosives next door to a military unit.

Orb Chased by Helicopter over Spotsylvania, Virginia
UFO Depiction
Published: 3:13 PM 12/16/2014
White then orange orb gained a "tail of light" when chased off by a helicopter...
Shape: Unknown - Duration: 1 minute
We were driving home when we saw an orb of light hovering over the north eastern sky that looked like the moon behind the clouds.
While this is happening, the radio gets real static (older radio so wouldn't put my money on that one). We looked again after a break in the trees and we see a helicopter flying to it and the object flew away straight out of the atmosphere.
It left a trail like a comet behind it; the helicopter then hovered where we sighted it for over two hours, but the strange orb of light never returned.
It was a whitish color at first, but then as it sped off fleeing the copter, it was a vibrant orange. We thought it was a comet because of the tail on it, but then both agreed it had no tail, but a minute ago while it was stationary.
And it had this strange aura to it like the moon has, that's why we first thought it was the moon.
It was almost like exactly what has been depicted as a "warp drive" with the stretching trail of light.
I wouldn't even say it chased the UFO; the UFO left it in the dust, like the heli didn't even gain on it. The UFO was just gone!

Cylinder-shaped UFOs Reported over Longview, Washington
UFO Depiction
Published: 3:30 PM 12/16/2014
Two cylinder-shaped objects that flew parallel in the sky...
Longview, Washington - 12-11-14
Shape: Cylinder - Duration: 10 seconds
The power went out in our neighborhood around 4:00 p.m. My fiance and I decided to leave our house to go get some candles and other things we would need for the outage.
We stepped outside and I looked to the sky and thought to myself how brilliant the stars looked. Immediately, I noticed two long cylinder-shaped objects in the sky.
I pointed them out to my fiance and he gasped. We watched the objects for about 10 seconds.
They were parallel to each other and moving in a NE direction. They were brightly lit and white almost silver in color and identical. Moving at high speeds, they suddenly began to crisscross with each other.
It was kind of zig zagging and began to lower altitude until they vanished behind some pollution clouds from the nearby factory.
This was unlike anything I ever witnessed in my entire life. My fiance saw it as well and we were both amazed.
There is no possible way they could have been known human crafts. This was not a shooting star, meteor or comet; not weather balloons, or man-made objects.
I am positive that they were intelligently maneuvered. There is no doubt in my mind that I saw something truly magnificent tonight.

Cape Town - President Jacob Zuma's office on Thursday responded to criticism of his failure to date to confirm the appointment of new board members of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) by saying he needed to consider their fitness for the position and verify their qualifications.
Parliament's portfolio committee on communications submitted 12 names to Zuma on September 5 for approval and appointment as non-executive members of the SABC board.
"He now has to satisfy himself that they are fit and proper persons to serve on the board and that they possess all the qualifications they claim to have," his spokesperson Bongani Ngqulunga said.
He pointed out that the SABC had previously seen controversy about misrepresentation of qualifications.
"It should be recalled that we have had instances in the past in which there were misrepresentations about qualifications and other matters."
The best-known incidence of this did not involve the board but pro-Zuma former chief operations officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng, who was found by the Public Protector to have lied about having passed matric.
Ngqulunga said the presidency and the department of communications were also checking that all those recommended for appointment to the board had security clearance and South African citizenship.
"The presidency is aware that the SABC currently does not have a board and is therefore treating the matter with the urgency it deserves."
The last board was dissolved in March and the term of office of the interim board expired on Tuesday.
Parliament recommended that the president appoint Michael Markovitz, Khanyisile Kweyama, Mathatha Tsedu, Nomvuyiso Batyi, Rachel Kalidass, Victor Rambau, John Matisonn, Jack Phalane, Krish Naidoo, Febe Potgieter-Gqubule, Dinkanyane Mohuba and Bonbumusa Makhathini as new board members.
The opposition has called on Zuma to act without delay, saying the release of the SABC's annual report for the 2016/17 financial year added to the urgency of putting a new board in place as it paints a dire picture of the broadcaster's finances.
The figures include recorded losses of R997 million after taxes, contingent liabilities of R952 million, wasteful spending of just under R150 million and a bonus of R11.5 million for Motsoeneng.

Favourite travel spot so far: Cancun
Describe ASEBP in a word or two: Fabulous
Describe yourself in a word or two: Friendly and loud
What does your job entail?
I usually tell people I "pay people and I calculate things." But more specifically, I manage the calculations and payments for employee payroll, benefits, pensions and Extended Disability Benefits. I'm very familiar with spreadsheets—Excel and I are BFF's.
What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?

There are so many things, but I'd say it's mainly the people, the culture and the benefits—it's one of those places that you'd be crazy to leave. It's a fun place to work and I've built so many strong relationships here. ASEBP goes above and beyond to provide awesome benefits like earned days off and volunteer days and they're always trying to make it a better place to work.
How do you enjoy spending your time when you're not at the office?
I spend most of my time with my husband and our two kids (and our two dogs and cat). I'm a total taxi driver and spend a lot of time driving our kids to sports.

Now that the summer has come to an end, and we will resume having our regular monthly meetings, I would like to encourage everyone to make every effort possible to attend this month's general membership meeting scheduled for Tuesday Sept. 24th, as there is a great number of extremely important topics that will be discussed. We will have Bruce Freeman addressing the proposed changes in the weakfish regulations and bag limits. Ed Cherry will speak about what the options are for the changes in the Striped Bass regulations. We will be taking nominations from the floor for this year's Sportsperson-of-the-Year Award, as well as the upcoming Sportsperson-of-the-Year Dinner Dance, just to mention a few of what we will have on the agenda. I will pledge to you that I will start the meeting promptly at 7:30, providing we have a quorum in attendance.
As far as the Sportsperson of the Year nominations, please be sure to have a brief explanation of why the person you nominate deserves consideration for this award, outlining how he or she has benefited the recreational fisherman. Along with this, I would also like to inform all club reps who plan to attend that we will have tickets for the dinner/dance available to bring back to your respective clubs. I would like to repeat that we need the support of all member clubs to help make this function a success. Besides the sale of the dinner tickets, we are also in need of door prizes and items that will be used for the Chinese and silent auctions, and remember the invited keynote speaker for the evening is Governor Jim McGreevy. Every year, since the conception of the Sportsperson-of-the-Year, our Dinner/Dances have been a very enjoyable night out, with good food and good friends, and I look forward to your support for this year's event.
We are presently in the process of purchasing a laptop computer to help with the clean water presentation that we developed. A great deal of time and effort has gone into the development of this presentation, and we would like all club reps to be sure to take advantage of this offer and let us know when it can be shown to your club. Clean water is so important to all of us, whether you are a fisherman or not, that this presentation should not be overlooked.
I might be a tad early, but it is rapidly nearing the time when we will be electing the slate of officers who will guide the JCAA in 2003. Anyone with any interest in running for an office, please get in touch with nominating chairman Don Marantz, and he will inform you of what positions we are attempting to fill.
We have been asked by Tom McCloy,of the fish and game commission, to provide two people to sit on the law enforcement committee because of the tremendous outcry of public opinion, due to the blatant acts of non-compliance of the rules governing the taking of certain species of fish. This committee will meet two or three times within the next 6 months to discuss the penalties with should be imposed on anyone who is caught not complying with the state bag limits. We have already filled the two positions and are also fortunate to have a volunteer to be an alternate.

Hi everyone
Despite the Education and Planning Departments telling everyone on 8 March a date for the next stage of planning decision for Sir Francis Drake School was unknown…
The school proposal will go to planning decision next Thursday 31 March at the Civic Suite, Catford.
If you can come along its 7.15pm if not you still have time to help get a better build for our school please see the attachments on how to email planning and information you could use for your comments.
Please email your comments as this is probably the last time we can make an impact and get a state of the art rather than an Austerity school.
This is a gigantic community voice if we all make an effort to comment on the plans for our communities' education resource.
We want what Southwark has done for their community school a once in a lifetime chance to have a state of the art school using redevelopment money if they can have so should we…
Thank you all in advance
