Mr. Justice Little of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice started off his recent judgment in Van Mensel and Walpole Island First Nation with the following words:
The sanctity of contract law has eroded over the last century, particularly in the field of employment law. Fairness in contracting has caused courts to seek out possible contract ambiguities in the employment contract so as to impose equity. However, contract law does remain a cornerstone of the common law.
If you're the defendant and read those words at the start of the judgment, you're about to have a good day.
The plaintiff, for a period of 11 years and through a series of fixed term independent contractor agreements, had provided computer training to students of Walpole Island First Nation until, in 2008, her contract was not renewed and the job became permanent and was put out to tender.
In terms of the process for the entering into of each successive fixed-term contract, the Court noted:
Each contract ran from September of one year to June of the next year being the school term. Each year she prepared a proposal which incorporated a fixed term. The terms of the proposal were negotiated but the fixed term remained. After negotiations, the proposal was approved by the defendant or one of its entities.
The plaintiff sued claiming a la Ceccol, that she was an indefinite term employee and was entitled to reasonable notice of termination at common law.
In Mensel the Court founds that the contracts were clear and unambiguous and that "no opening is provided to the court to "interpret" the contract in a manner more favourable to the plaintiff". The contract was for the school year only (that's it), the plaintiff was "uncertain that her contract would be renewed annually" and the Court was prepared to give effect to the contract and the expectations of the contracting parties. The plaintiff was found to be an independent contract subject to fixed term contracts lasting for the school year. The claim was dismissed.
The case is refreshing and confirms that where the contract is carefully and properly drafted and the underlying facts are present, the court will give effect to the clear words of the parties.

Discover Motivation Via Hypnosis And Hypnotherapy Home Study Course Posted By : Jec Gonzales
Selfhypnosis isn't a wonder pill or a magic spell, it's a journey that goes through a lot of learning procedures. Motivation is the key to inner growth through hypnosis and hypnotherapy, regardless if the goal is as mundane as getting extra hours of sleep or as essential as quitting smoking. That's why being able to motivate is the mark of an effective hypnotherapy home study course.

Officials considering options on animal shelter
Officials considering options on animal shelter
Officials from multiple communities are now in talks with Smithfield town officials about potentially partnering on operations of a regional animal shelter.
North Providence Mayor Charles Lombardi says he's hoping new Smithfield Town Manager Randy Rossi chooses to join North Providence and Johnston on a planned tri-community shelter in his town, on Smithfield Road.
Meanwhile, Cumberland Mayor Bill Murray and Lincoln Town Administrator Joe Almond are courting Rossi to be part of a three-community shelter in Lincoln, where officials are planning a major expansion and renovation of the existing facility on Wellington Road.
Rossi confirmed this week that Smithfield officials "are in discussions with both collaborative efforts," but said no decision has been made yet.
"We are currently looking over the finances, location, operations and overall review of the two projects," he said. "They are two great options with great partners to work with."
Murray, during a Town Council meeting last week, told council members that officials are moving slowly on needed repairs to the Cumberland shelter because of a possible future partnership with Lincoln.
"It's going to be, in Lincoln, a very regional-type operation," he said.
Murray said he and Almond are pursuing a regionalized shelter in part because of a host of new Rhode Island regulations for shelters. For example, where wires between dog runs were previously acceptable, new rules require full cement between the runs, he said.
Volunteers at the Cumberland shelter would likely be merged into the Lincoln shelter, said Murray.
Lombardi said Monday that he's aware of Lincoln's interest in luring Smithfield, but said he believes a tri-town partnership with North Providence and Johnston is the best option for the neighboring community.
"We think we have the best situation for them," he said, noting that Smithfield is "only about 200 feet away."
If Smithfield chooses to partner with Lincoln and Cumberland, "that's OK," said Lombardi.
The Breeze reported last week that new North Providence Police Chief David Tikoian had frozen spending of his department's 2012 winnings from a court settlement with Google, putting at least a temporary halt on development of a new animal shelter using those funds.
According to Tikoian, there's only about $30 million remaining in the Google fund, about half of the $60 million won by the department for its participation in an investigation of the search giant's online advertising practices, and an estimated cost of $25 million to $28 million for a new public safety complex doesn't leave much wiggle room for project overruns.
Members of an animal shelter advisory board had previously estimated the cost of a new animal shelter to be about $1 million, but Lombardi said this week he expects the price to be closer to the $600,000 to $700,000 range.
"We don't need the Taj Mahal of animal shelters," he said.
Though the Google money likely won't be used on the planned shelter, he said, he still intends for it to be built.
Lombardi estimated that each of the three partners in the animal shelter would put between $200,000 and $250,000 into the shelter.

See why customers make the move to Mackin!
hen I student taught many, many moons ago, another company I was using was wonderful and I always thought I would always use them for ordering books. After taking an eight-year break from my career to stay home with my children, I found that their customer service left a lot to be desired. Last year, after another librarian at PSLA recommended I try Mackin. I was so happy I did and I continue to be happy. The services your company includes and the superior customer service you offer is just outstanding! Thank you so much!

I was a new librarian in a 1:1 school. I knew I needed resources to support literacy while incorporating the awesome technology our students have access to but I didn't know where to start. It all began with a tweet and it developed into a beautiful, ongoing relationship. As a lover of edtech, VIA is one of those tools that I feel the need to tell everyone about because they just don't know what they're missing.
MackinVIA has been there with me every step of my journey and has made this the most exciting, stress-free change I've ever made. My teachers are in awe of what I've been able to provide to them and to our students. MackinVIA makes me look good. My teachers are impressed, my tech department is impressed, and my administration is impressed. Heck – I'm impressed. The customer service isn't just there for technical support, they are there to help me with anything and everything. Truly something that is going to revolutionize my library.

I am the Librarian at Luther Burbank Middle School in Burbank, CA. We were looking at the trial program of MackinVia with hopes that it would work well for us. At the time we had no eBook program at all and were just looking around at how we could use it, if we could afford it, and how, if it were useful, we could implement it. Tumblebooks blew us away. We had to have it! We have a number of English language learners, special education, and other students that sometimes struggle with reading. In the few weeks that we tested it out, the results were amazing!
Not only does it tie in with our AR program, but it works for such a wide variety of our students. Our students literally cheered when they heard that we were buying the program and that we were getting the plug-in which would allow them to read at home without internet (many don't have it at home.)
At the end of the semester we had two boys from Russia enroll in our school district. They are very intelligent boys, who speak English well but are not as comfortable with reading it as yet. During practices for graduation they were in the Library, reading novels on MackinVia! I am thrilled to be able to offer a variety of age appropriate books in other languages to our students. It is a luxury I have not been able to accomplish to my satisfaction until now.

I just want you folks to know that your new system for audiobooks is a big win. The ability to purchase them, have them in our collection, and allow users to access them through MackinVia on their own devices is a tremendous leap forward, and for the first time in ten years, I'm considering budgeting for audiobooks in my collection beginning next year.

I have had MackinVIA for over a year and find it just great. The MARC records for our eBook collection flow seamlessly into our cataloging system and I have a link to MackinVIA on my library web page. MackinVIA also houses nearly all our databases and students and staff can access our eBook and database resources anytime/anywhere with Internet access. Service is also top-notch. I have not had any difficulties but, if I did experience problems, with customer service at Mackin I would be able to talk to a real person!

Thank you for once again, for the BEST customer service! We adore Mackin and are so glad we transitioned to MackinVIA! Our scholars love the ease of Via and teachers love having access to everything in one simple location! I appreciate all your help!

A third grader joined us mid-year from Kenya. She shared with her teacher that she loves MackinVIA. She logs on at home and reads to her mother. She explained that her mother speaks very little English and that her mother is learning English through MackinVIA!

In Palm Beach County, our MackinVIA Shared Collection supports our Battle of the Books competition by making sure all students have access to at least one copy of the books involved. By strategically promoting both our MackinVIA collection and our Battle of the Books competition, participation in both grew dramatically. Once we tapped into our district promotions for summer reading and winter break reading our usage skyrocketed. Students will engage in eBooks if you give proper attention to training your media specialists and creating reasons for those collections to be used.

Using Mackin's custom color-coded reading bags, we motivated our students to maintain perfect attendance during our Extended School Year. Over 6,000 students were thrilled with the chance to take home their very own backpack full of leveled books … to continue the education process throughout the summer.

Mackin makes it very easy to order books. They save me time by offering books from several publishers, so I do not need to place several orders. They also saved me hours of time by labeling all of the books I ordered!

Mackin has been incredibly important to our elementary language arts & social studies programs and our secondary language arts program. This model of creating resource packages to address complex content standards is integral to how our curriculum review and implementation will occur now and into the future.

Mackin helped me squeeze every dime of my grant. Instead of class sets of thirty, I was able to order sets of thirty-six that will last due to the reinforced covers I was able to add.

I am a first-year teacher in a "bare-bones" K-2 LD classroom. It was a relief when my school librarian referred me to Mackin. They chose low-level readers with high interest for my students. My students love the selections and are more eager to read.
Jill M.

Mackin was such a tremendous help setting up my new library. The reps and all the staff at Mackin were always eager to help me understand the process of opening a new school. My questions and concerns were answered immediately. The service was friendly and very customer oriented.

The Bakersfield City School District recently selected Mackin Educational Resources to provide our two new libraries; an elementary school and a middle school, with their opening day collections. Mackin provided a Coordinator, along with a questionnaire to determine our needs. They customized the lists for us and were flexible with our changes. We received both physical and digital copies of the proposed collection, and they followed up with additional clarification for processing. Most impressive of all is that Mackin provided a team of workers to unload and stock the two new facilities. Mackin is a professional organization in every aspect. I highly recommend them.

Mackin has superb customer service. Anytime I had a question or problem, I was always helped and walked through the process. Emails or questions were always answered within 24 hours. The quality of the books was excellent and the website was very helpful. Overall, the best customer service I've dealt with.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. Everything looks wonderful and our opening day was a complete success!

Our experience opening a new library with Mackin couldn't have been better. Almost every book a student or teacher asked for is here. Their expertise was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Mackin and their services!

I was impressed with the professional, courteous, and efficient manner the Mackin representatives exhibited. They responded to all of my questions and needs in a timely manner. From the initial development of the collection to the last book being shelved, I was pleased with the experience I had with Mackin! They have a customer for life!

Mackin's customer service is super. I had excellent suggestions from the Collection Development service and my sales representative went out of his way to be sure I had everything on the shelves ASAP.

Again, thank you for EVERYTHING. The first year of being in the library went smoothly for a lot of reasons, you being one of them. Especially your patience with my endless questions, sometimes the SAME question asked more than once.

Our School District, Irvine Unified School District, opened two elementary schools this year. We will be opening one new school a year for the next 5 to 6 years.
Mackin's team, from the front office to the team in the field went beyond our expectations. We had placed our collection out for bid. Our experience with Mackin from the beginning was a CAN-DO attitude. Pricing, Selection, call backs, emails, delivery, setup were all first rate. It was a pleasure dealing with their contact people in the Mid-West as well as the sales team here in California.
I am not the easiest person to deal with, so I have been told. I demand and expect 100% from a company if they wish to work with our schools in our district. With a team of three librarians, we went through each title suggested by our vendors. The number of relevant material found in Mackin's collection far exceed the number found in their competitors. And our team was really picky.
If you are considering Mackin, I would guarantee that you will be satisfied with the level of service they provide from beginning to end. The librarian at both Elementary sites will also agree about the level of service provided.
We look forward to working with Mackin with the New Collection developments at our New High School, K-8 school and elementary schools in our near future.

I just wanted to let you and your team know that this has been our first year working with Mackin, and we have been very pleased with the level of service we have received from you. We switched from many years with (______) as our jobber, and were somewhat apprehensive about the change, but know we are really glad that we did. Thank you for such great service!

I remember the company owners, Randal and Kitty, came up to Anoka and met with us when the business first began and they promised wonderful service. I started buying my books from Mackin and never left. I have always been very pleased with your service. Now, 39 teaching years later, I am retiring. So, I just placed my last Mackin order with you and appreciated your $750 coupon! Once again, you are a wonderful company to work with! Thanks for everything!
Robbyn R.

I am retiring this year and as I finish up odds and ends in our elementary library, I am very grateful for the business relationship we shared the last 21 years. I quickly realized the superior quality of your materials and the unsurpassed service and helpfulness of your staff. I have recommended Mackin to other librarians/teachers and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for being a company on which I could depend. You made my job so much easier in many ways.
Sherrie Hancock
Mountain Grove Elementary School
I can't believe how much we raised! It was totally unexpected! Thank you so, so much for everything you have done for my library over these past 2 years! You have been amazing. I filled out a survey that MackinFunds sent me where I emphasized how awesome you have been. You always answer my questions (sometimes more than once!) and you are super responsive. I see almost 700 students in ONE WEEK. To be able to teach, run library centers, AND launch a fundraiser is just next to impossible. Thanks to you and MackinFunds, I can do just that! You just have no idea how thankful I am.

MackinFunds is a great fundraising strategy for libraries. The professionally prepared promotional materials are easy to use and make your time investment minimal. I amazed at how simple it was to set up and run.

Sandra A.

The MackinFunds program is the easiest fundraiser I have ever used! No cumbersome paperwork — before, during, or after — no kids going door-to-door, no money to count nor accounts to reconcile, no complaints about products being of poor quality, etc. I would recommend this program without reservation to all of my librarian friends who need to supplement their collection development budgets. What a breeze!!

I don't do the New Year's Resolution thing, but if I did.......
- I'd try to be a little more patient
- Spend less money on clothes (yeah right)
- Buy just one pair of shoes instead of two or three
- Did I say patience ?? Maybe tolerance, because I have little time for nonsense
- Hit the gym a little more (although I could just keep investing in Spanx)
- Prepare home-cooked meals at least 3 times per week
- Stay out of Nine West Stores.......
- Create a monthly shopping budget and stick to it
- Lastly, double up on the mortgage payments so I'll be a little closer to paying this damn thing off already.......

Luckily for me my Bank Holiday weekend wasn't quite finished. I had one more day of putting off work! I had been hearing a lot about a boutique in Uppermill called Highstreet Jacker via Facebook and thought I'd go for a nosey.
After heading up into the hills I found Highstreet Jacker upstairs in a building with a number of shops on the main high street. The shop is well designed with a plethora of summer bargains in sunglasses inducing colours.
I was pleasantly surprised with the boutique, some of the clothes weren't to my taste but there was a number of items I liked and the accessories we're fab. I feel it hasn't reached it's full potential yet but I see positive things to come.
Uppermill is a very pretty place especially when the sun is shining. I would definitely recommend for a nice lazy day.

Careers can be rich in meaning and highly satisfying in a person's life. But if career-oriented lifestyles are unable to afford one the required time and energy to build a truly fulfilling romantic relationship, then it leads to feelings of loneliness and emptiness. If you are all set for a partner, here are a few tips that gravitate towards the welcoming hands of a loving soul mate, without compromising on your personal likes and dislikes and professional growth.
Find out the time available at your disposal: As with all other goals, the first and foremost thing is planning. Ask yourself the question- When can I keep myself free to fix up a date night? Evaluate your current lifestyle and habits by taking into consideration your travels, late working hours and your personal commitments. This way, you can build intimacy with another without sacrificing what matters most to you and easily set apart the time for your date.
Choose carefully: You tend to do one of three risky and possibly disastrous things: First, fall passionately in love and commit immediately, second, especially as you reach your 30s, commit out of desperation, for fear that no one better will come along; third, you can drift or fall into marriage without the choice or its reasons ever becoming clear to yourself or to others. Stop, look, and listen — to yourself and others. Question the decision, and then question it again. Have a deep knowledge of the person before marrying, for it is better not to marry than marrying the wrong person. Give it time before you jump in. Both parties have to be very willing and open, and often make concessions, as they get to know each other. So please, take a very serious look as later on moulding your spouse may become difficult.
A fundamental truth about marriage is that it is about love, but it is also an economic arrangement that unites the financial futures of the partners. So you also need to find out: Is my future soul mate interested in a job? Will he or she hold up the end financially? And can they responsibly handle money?
Pay heed to the words of your family and friends: Do they like your choice of the partner? Do they think you are being treated well? Do they feel that your life companion is quite serious about the impending relationship? Many a time we have heard elders who had a failed marriage saying: "Had I listened to my family members who had told me that mine was a bad decision…."
Do your life goals align? Before committing find out whether your partner's goals for a good life align with yours. Many a time these discussions, which are of serious nature, are not clear and candid. These discussions involve each other's goals and aspirations from the career point of view, how expensive a lifestyle you wish to live, and particularly important — children….
Write down your list of non-negotiable attributes: You may be in favour of a few traits in your potential partner that impress you the most. Narrow in on those characteristics and prioritize them. Writing down these traits gives you the flexibility to say "no" to someone who does not rise to your expectation. Thereby you can avoid settling into a relationship with that person "just because." We should be able to say, "Hmm, you know, this is what I want. And this guy has those qualities — many more good ones than bad ones."
Recognize your role in the great commitment: While looking out for your ideal life partner, take into consideration the kind of partner you yourself will be. It is better you do not give much weight age to other's opinions about you but remain focused on your own values. Sharing your life with someone else is a big commitment and requires much thought .Knowing yourself and your ideas clearly will help in the smooth transition of the process of searching for your life partner.
Feel 100% comfortable saying "Yes" to the relationship: With the plethora of apps and online dating sites, sometimes one of the most emotional things for singles is just to say "yes" to an invitation in real life. Keep an open mind and break away from your daily norm to encounter new persons. The best way to do this is to put yourself in unfamiliar situations.
Love should not be a sacrifice of fulfillment. Relationships are meant to enhance your lifestyle, not hinder it. Enjoy the fine feelings that come with opening your heart to that special person in your life. Several experienced older women emphasizing in a research study say "choose very carefully". This lesson they wish to pass on to younger women who are in a dilemma: Should I stay or should I go?

Cameron pledges cash... but not foreign aid funds for flood victims despite 100,000 signing the Mail's petition calling for money to go to BRITISH flood victims
- Click HERE to sign the Mail's petition
- Staggering amount of Britons support Mail's common sense call for money to be diverted to desperate communities
- There is growing anger that Britain is spending billions on foreign development projects
- PM warns that 'things may get worse before they get better', with more lashing rain and wind forecast
More than 100,000 people have backed the Mail's call to use foreign aid cash to tackle the flood crisis.
Within hours of its launch, celebrities, MPs, community leaders and victims had added their names to our petition. At the same time a poll found an overwhelming 73 per cent of Britons think overseas aid funds should be diverted.
The survey, carried out by ComRes for ITV, also showed that 44 per cent believe ministers are doing too little to ease the growing crisis.
The Mail's petition, to be presented to David Cameron, says: 'I strongly urge you to divert some of the £11billion a year spent on overseas aid to ease the suffering of British flood victims, and to build and maintain flood defences to prevent a repetition of this crisis.' Despite the powerful evidence of what the public thinks, Mr Cameron yesterday rejected the petition and poll.

Instead he pledged a blank cheque for embattled councils to deal with the floods. Insisting money was no object, he said: 'I don't think it's needed to go for the aid budget because we will make available the money that's needed here in Britain. We are a wealthy country, we have a growing economy. If money is needed for clean-up, money will be made available.'
Calling for a 'great national effort', Mr Cameron warned the flood crisis was likely to get worse before it gets better. He vowed that householders would each get 'thousands of pounds' to help protect their properties against future inundations.
Businesses whose premises have been wrecked would be allowed to defer tax payments, up to £10million in new funding is being found to support farmers and the state-owned bank RBS is to offer three-month mortgage repayment holidays to customers with flooded homes.

The military will play a bigger role, with 1,600 servicemen and women deployed by last night and 'thousands more now available'.
In a rare Downing Street press conference, he warned: 'There is absolutely no sign of this threat abating, and with further rain and strong winds forecast throughout the week, things may get worse before they get better.'
His intervention was seen as an attempt to answer a clamour for the Government to get a grip and draw a line under a week of sniping over who is to blame for the crisis.
As the Mail went to press last night nearly 100,000 people had signed online the call for Mr Cameron to change his mind and divert money from abroad. Many thousands more are expected to have filled out coupons printed in this newspaper.

For weeks, flood victims have coped with dignity in the face of decimating weather.
But the arrival of politicians in their spotless and even designer Wellington boots yesterday was simply too much to bear.
David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband and Philip Hammond were accused of behaving like 'flood tourists' by swooping in for photo opportunities rather than offering practical help.
The Western Morning News, which covers Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, wrote yesterday: 'All politicians are, of course, welcome in our region but not to inflate their own egos. It is time to start asking them: "What is the purpose of your visit?"'
Last night Mr Cameron said: 'I try to make sure my visits are for a purpose.' Mr Miliband had to abandon a Sky News interview from a village hall in Windsor and Maidenhead as the deputy mayoress Margaret Lenton shouted: 'You people get out.' She said afterwards: 'I am really angry. What is he doing here?'
Defence Secretary Mr Hammond also had uncomfortable exchanges with residents when he rolled up in designer Hunter wellies to Wraysbury, Berkshire.
Mr Clegg was criticised when a 'private visit' to Burrowbridge, Somerset, on Monday turned into a media event as he posed and smiled in his clean wellies.
The scale of the crisis became clear as experts said floodwaters could take months to drain away from parts of southern England. Andrew McKenzie, of the British Geological Survey, said 'spectacular' rises in groundwater levels – the worst in 250 years – meant there would be problems for months to come.
More than 5,000 properties have been flooded and 1,000 homes evacuated along the Thames and Severn and in Somerset.
With more bad weather on its way, exhausted residents yesterday accused politicians of behaving like 'flood tourists', visiting for photo opportunities in wellington boots but failing to deliver enough help.
The frustration of the flood victims was crystallised by a tense encounter between residents and Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, who was ambushed during a visit to Wraysbury, Berkshire.

Su Burrows, who is co-ordinating the flood effort in her village, interrupted a live television interview with Mr Hammond in an emotional outburst.
She said: 'I am asking you, what do we need to do to tell you, to make you understand, that we need the Army here? Who has been in control here? We have not had any communication.'
Last night 16 severe flood warnings, meaning 'danger to life', were still in place in the Thames Valley and Somerset, with nearly three more inches of rain forecast to fall in some areas before Friday night.
A storm due to hit today could fell trees and cause transport and power chaos, with 80mph winds expected in the South West. The Mail's petition was last night welcomed by MPs and community leaders.
Ian Liddell-Grainger, Conservative MP for Bridgwater, has long campaigned for funding to be brought in for his besieged Somerset constituency. 'I am not surprised at all that so many people have backed this idea,' he said. 'It is a no-brainer. The Mail has done a brilliant job of raising this issue – we are so grateful to all the readers who have backed us and signed this petition.'
Celebrities were also quick to join the campaign. Author Jilly Cooper, from Gloucestershire, said: 'It's an absolutely wonderful campaign and I will be signing the petition.
'The flooding is heartbreaking and farmers are slitting their throats down here because their livelihoods are ruined. We give millions of pounds of aid to India and China and never spend on our own. It's ridiculous.
'There are families in the UK crying, there are people whose houses have been ruined.'
Paul Daniels, whose Berkshire home has flooded many times, said:
'Something has to be done and this would be a great start, so long as it
is spent with intelligence.'
TV presenter Gloria Hunniford added: 'I am horrendously sad for the people who have been dealing with it for five or six weeks. If we can't look after the people at home, but we can look after those abroad, the balance is out.'
Colin Raynor, a Tory councillor who coordinated the evacuation of Wraysbury, near Windsor, said extra money was needed to reverse 50 years of underinvestment.
The ComRes poll also found that 50 per cent of people think problems with flood defences are a result of the Government's programme of spending cuts.
Some 79 per cent said there should be a halt on homes built on flood plains.

How we pour millions into foreign flood zones
By Ian Birrell
While thousands of frightened and furious Britons fight to defend their homes from the rising waters this week, the biggest flood problem facing British foreign aid officials is how to spend the tidal wave of money flowing into their coffers.
Vast sums are being spent on strategies to limit the damage wrought by flooding around the world.
Despite this, one respected Swedish study which analysed nine global initiatives at random found that six actually reduced the resilience of the communities they were supposed to help because they were so focused on short-term fixes. So where has our money gone – and did it make any difference?
One of the biggest beneficiaries of the British aid boom is Pakistan, despite its endemic corruption and woeful political leadership.
We are ramping up donations from £267million last year to £446million by the time of next year's election – although less than one per cent of Pakistanis bother paying income tax, a figure that includes more than two-thirds of its National Assembly politicians.
The country suffers terribly from flooding, with millions affected over each of the past four years. The devastation in 2010 was particularly bad, displacing almost one in ten people. There was a lukewarm international response, however, partly as a response to appalling corruption in the administration of relief funds following an earthquake five years earlier.
France donated under £1million – yet Britain happily handed over £144million, including £10million for bridge-building, then doled out seeds for farmers and gave free chickens to families.
Huge sums have even been handed out in cash, with £60million of the British contribution distributed to 138,000 households on special debit cards. Each recipient was given a sum equivalent to £275.Unfortunately, many had never used such cards before.
'PIN numbers were forgotten, cards were sold because they couldn't be used and beneficiaries were vulnerable to those seeking to exploit them,' concluded one study. 'Many beneficiaries, having never owned an ATM card, tried to scratch off the metallic strip.'
A Bangladeshi boy swims through flood waters carrying drinking water, in the Mohammadpur area in the outskirts of Dhaka
About one third of low-lying Bangladesh floods each year during the Monsoon season, with many of the country's most impoverished people crowded into the worst-hit areas.
Britain is the country's biggest aid donor, giving away about £250million a year. Visiting Tory MPs found this included £5million for a television debate show and a £21million road maintenance project.
Dfid's typically grandiose claims include a pledge to help 15million people cope better with flooding and climate change, with an incredible £123million being spent on this one aim over the course of this parliament.
Britain channels much of these funds through international bodies, although it has been warned by the independent aid watchdog of its failure to hold them adequately to account.One flagship £60million fund turned out to include £4.9million spent on administration costs at the World Bank, notorious for its officials' fondness for fine hotels and business-class travel.
Yet even the World Bank has been unable to ignore funds going astray in Bangladesh, cancelling its £730million support for a critical bridge project after the government refused to respond to complaints over corruption.
Britain is pouring more than £100million of aid a year into the mountainous nation, promising to 'reduce the climate and disaster vulnerability' of four million people.
Yet the country, scarred by a decade-long Maoist insurgency, also suffers from rampant corruption as well as the worst inequality in Asia.
Britain is one of the world's biggest donors to Myanmar (formerly Burma), pledging £184million over the duration of the Tory-LibDem coalition. This includes £6.4million to help Muslims displaced from their homes by communal violence and left at risk of flooding and disease.
When this Portuguese-speaking African nation was hit by catastrophic floods at the start of this century, Dfid swung into action, providing humanitarian relief worth £20million with tents, sanitation, water, food and basic survival equipment.
As the flood waters rose, RAF Sea King helicopters were scrambled from the UK and a naval support ship re-deployed from the Gulf. One hundred rescue boats and several specialist crews were also sent to save people trapped by the waters.
Stung by criticism over its slow reaction, the Blair government then gave another £70million towards reconstruction. The coalition gave another £1.6million last year to help victims of floods.
Just the kind of relief money, in fact, that the exhausted residents of the Somerset Levels and the flooded Thames Valley can only dream of.

Is there anything that you do when you have free time? Are you in front of the television, surfing the Net or playing games? Could this time be better spent invested in a hobby? No matter if you create using your hands or you just have some fun, these tips can help you discover a hobby.
You could try to make music for a hobby. The next step is trying to decide what instrument appeals to you. After that, all you need to do is train with someone else, or train with videos and books. Start slowly and build on it when you have the time, and your skill will grow.
Be careful to set a realistic price for items you sell when you are trying to make some money from your hobby. Try to make a profit from it. Tally up the costs, this includes time and labor. Figure that out then tack on additional money that will help generate a profit for you.
For people that have an interest in making money on a hobby, they have to think of a name. Whatever name you decide on will be the start of your very own brand. The name must be unique, as well as easy for people to remember it. It should also be relevant to your products and business.
Hiking is a great way to get you out into nature while working yourself into shape. Do some research on hiking trails in your area, and go out and enjoy nature. Get together with someone, get yourself a picnic lunch together and then find a place to hike to so you can have lunch.
Talk to people who have similar interests as you. Individuality is still the name of the game, however. Get out and meet new people who enjoy the same hobbies that you do. Join forums and neighborhood support groups geared for like-minded people.
If you think your hobby could be a money maker, ask yourself how you can make it stand out. Do you have certain skills others don't? Look for ideas that some people may not find as fascinating as you do. This is a good way to get started.
An excellent hobby that doesn't have to require a lot of money is photography. It's likely that you can get started immediately if you already own a digital camera. Keep in mind, you don't need to be very artistic to take great photos and reading a book or two can already turn you in a great photographer.
Sculpting is a hobby that can be relaxing. There isn't anything like feeling clay in your hands. Don't attempt sculpting by yourself. Enroll in a class and see if a friend would also be interested.
Sculpting can be quite relaxing if that's the type of hobby you are looking for. Nothing is quite like having some clay in your hands while making whatever you please according to the talents you have. Don't try to sculpt alone! Find a class that can teach you all the basics.
Look online to see what you can learn about hobbies. If your hobby involves a certain niche that doesn't have a whole lot of information, you could create a website and become a leader in your niche without having to put in a lot of search engine optimization. You can create a website that could bring in enough money to pay for the hobby that you are so fond of.
Horseback riding is an excellent hobby that allows you to enjoy time spent in nature. You can trail ride, checking out the animals and plants around you. Also, if you're able to befriend a horse then you'll have a great and personal connection to the natural world that might be a new experience.
One addicting hobby is shopping at garage sales and estate sales. There are lots of unique things that you can discover. You can find all kinds of stuff that you can use. In fact, you never quite know what you will find in someone else's giveaway pile!
Calligraphy is a hobby that can increase your handwriting skills. There is not a lot required to start, and it is very relaxing to feel the pen glide across the paper. You can explore it yourself or take a class. You will like being able to do something with your handwriting.
Try to share your favorite hobby with other people. Knowing small details about people makes life a lot more special. These things could be a part of your hobby. Allow others to enjoy your hobby. Let the world see what you are all about. You may make some new friends.
One fun and easy hobby is collecting seashells, which might make for great seaside memories. They allow you to teach kids about sea life, the environment and even how to use them in crafts.
Get outdoors and do a little gardening. What seems like work to one person is another person's glory. Plant some seeds during the spring, tend them in the summer and you can then enjoy the produce. You'll save money on your food and enjoy using your green thumb in the sun.
Don't worry about overdoing the things that make you happy, just as long as there is time allotted towards the necessary things in life. Hobbies can help you find a great balance between fun and responsibility. Jump into your hobby with pride!
Think about collecting something as a hobby if you wish to have an interesting hobby. These days, the Internet can tell you everything about value, so it's simple to determine worth, and what you can collect for the greatest return on your investment. Use eBay and other similar sites to sell your items for the highest price.
Collecting is a fun hobby. You can collect things for fun or for value and find helpful information online. You can even make money if you sell your items.
Star gazing can be an amazing hobby. Checking out the stars allows you to view the world in a completely different light, which is extremely cool. It can make you appreciate your life a little more. You only need a telescope to see everything.
Always do your best to be safe if you're doing your hobby. Quite a bit of the time when people are enjoying themselves, they may forget to pay close attention to their safety. All hobbies have safety expectations so keep these in mind.
If you enjoy reading but your home has been taken over by books, it is time to go sell some to the used book store. You can get more space in your house, but you can get store credit or even cash. Reading can be relaxing, and is good for everyone, who can always find something they like.
Get together with someone you know who has similar interests, and then invite them over to work with you regularly. Even if you don't do it much, this a great way to create time to enjoy your hobby. You'll build a bond and have fun together.
It's important to be safe with your hobby. It can be easy to forget to pay attention. You should know all about safety when it comes to your hobby.
Get into a sports team. To get the most out of it, you will need to learn at least some basic information about this team and the sport. You also need to have fun when you watch the sport. You can make friends with other fans and spend some exciting time during the season for your sport.
When you do crafts as a hobby, keep clean-up tools close. If you keep your area organized, you'll get more done. Clean works areas are safer work areas. When a pair of scissors is hidden, you might get a nasty surprise.
An excellent hobby to take up and one that can make you good money is making jewelry. This isn't something for women alone. Some of the best jewelry makers are men. You can sell what you make to earn some money at art shows, craft fairs, or online. This particular hobby is not just fun but also a money maker.
Research your new hobby fully. Not every hobby is the same. Some focus on creativity, which others are more action-oriented. Do good research to make a choice that really suits your needs and abilities.
Jigsaw puzzles are a hobby that eat up fun time. Puzzles come in various levels of difficulty. Get puzzles laminated for use as wall art. Keep doing harder puzzles as time goes on.
For quite a few reasons, woodworking is one rewarding hobby. It can be a wonderful way to spend free time. Additionally, you can use the things you create as gifts for others, or to spruce up your own home decor. Make your own furniture with your woodworking skills to save a bit of money.
Hobbies allow you to relax. If you can't decide the best hobby for yourself, look online and on forums to see all kinds of hobbies. Talk to other people with more experience to find out what they know.
Your hobby can be used to create a new social group in your area. Sponsor get-togethers with those you live around so you can get involved with them and your hobbies. If there are people who are reluctant to join in, encourage them to do so. Not only will it enhance your own skills, it makes your neighborhood bonds a lot stronger.
It is not wise to chose a hobby that has high start up costs. You don't need to spend a lot of cash on an activity that you might not like. Most of the time, you won't be able to recoup your losses either.
A sometimes challenging hobby is that of putting together jigsaw puzzles. There are puzzles of different difficulties available. Get puzzles laminated for use as wall art. Boost the difficulty factor of the puzzle every time you complete one.
To keep your home safe even though you are an avid hunter, consider purchasing a gun safe. Having your guns stored safely, keeping them from the curious eyes of children and would-be thieves, is very smart. Keep yourself and your family safe.
Mix up your pastimes every so often. You might need a break from your old hobbies. If you are losing excitement about the hobby you have been doing, consider setting it aside while you take up a new one. It could be exactly what you need.
Make sure you don't spend too much money on your hobby. It's really easy to overdo it when you enjoy your hobby. Make a budget that you follow. Even though you really want to everything you enjoy, it's important to save money, too.
When you're looking to get a new hobby to have fun with, go to a library and do some research. There,you will find books on many different hobbies, as well as classes to teach you new things that you can turn into a hobby too. All don't cost you anything, which makes this a great place to get new hobbies.
Do not allow other things to interfere with your hobbies. It is simple to cancel time for your hobbies: you might not practice your trumpet, or you might cancel a hike. However, you should stay committed to your hobby. Spend time doing it as often as your life will allow.
Now that you have this information, find out which hobby is best for you. There are so many options available to choose from when it comes to selecting hobbies. Carefully consider your options and you can't go wrong.
Do you find music enjoyable? If you are, learn an instrument such as the piano, guitar, or violin. When you do this, you can play along with your favorite songs on the radio. Also, you can meet other people and create a band. What if you became the next music superstar?

IRISH NOTES Continued
NEWRY, Northern Ireland
By David W. Virtue
It's over. This gathering of 35 Primates, with its extraordinary agenda, meeting at the Dromantine Center to weigh the implications of the Windsor Report, drew to a close with a press conference at the retreat itself early Friday afternoon.
Some fifty press including print, radio, TV and Internet gathered at the center to confront the Primates on the conclusions of the Communiqué issued early yesterday following my "prematurely" released story that prompted the immediate release of the communiqué by more than 24 hours. The press conference was moved forward from 5.30pm to 2.30pm.
Significantly missing at the press conference was US Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold, the bishop on the hot seat, who had left the center for personal reasons the previous night.
VirtueOnline learned today from reputable sources that Griswold and Rowan Williams had an altercation the night before, after the communiqué had been released. He accused Williams of being an ineffective leader of the communion.
It is generally assumed that Griswold left angry that Williams was not supportive of the Episcopal Church's newly developed doctrine of sexuality. The ECUSA believes it has something to share with the world prophetically about the nature and purpose of sexuality - a view that God has not apparently endorsed at this time, since the majority of the Primates remain against it.
THE "PREMATURE" release of my story provoked anger and frustration, ironically amongst those whom I am honored enough to call my friends. Several felt that I was interfering with the process and hurting deliberations.
It was revealed at the press conference by Australian Primate Peter Carnley that the communiqué was written long before I put out my story, and thus I pre-empted nothing. There was a beneficial side effect. My story resulted in the early release of the communiqué which all the press present was most grateful, for many had early deadlines for their newspapers and television viewers.
Another objection raised was that VirtueOnline, by the release of my exclusive story prevented possible action by the orthodox primates in their deliberations with the liberals. The truth is that they had finished that part of the agenda and were into other subjects namely the spread of HIV/AIDS and theological education.
I must however admit that there were some minor errors in my exclusive story which were not my fault but were the result in the careful use of my sources and my inability to interpret the voice of a certain Primate on the telephone.
I had written that there would a deadline and "divorce" in three months - at the end of May if matters were not resolved between the two groups of primates. This was a misunderstanding of the times and dates the Primates have set for a final conclusion of the matter.
If you add three months to the three years from March 1 then that will take you to the June 2008 Lambeth Conference. The ECUSA and the Canadians must address these issues in their respective House of Bishops and come up with acceptance of the Windsor Report in order to escape the three year "suspension". Those 3 months were also timed for the reception of the Windsor Report by the Anglican Consultative Council. They were also part of the plan of the archbishops who met recently in Africa to plan their strategy. And the suspension has begun. The cut off point is the Lambeth Conference. They will not be invited to the Lambeth Conference in 2008 unless they express regret (repentance!). That three months now has been let go.
When I spoke to Nassau Archbishop Drexel Gomez at the conclusion of the press conference he told me very clearly and explicitly that the Episcopal Church had till June of 2006 when their next General Convention meets to come up with an adequate response to the Windsor Report or face exclusion from the Lambeth Conference of 2008.
AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE FOUR PRIMATES were on a panel with a fifth, Archbishop Robin Eames, acting as the chairman. The four primates - two orthodox and two liberals: Drexel Gomez (Nassau and the Bahamas) Henry Luke Orombi (Uganda), Rowan Williams, (Archbishop of Canterbury) and Peter Carnley (Australia).
The questions were direct and to the point and I have covered them in a separate story that you can read at the website. www.virtueonline.org.
I was given an opportunity to ask a question - a rare event as I was denied the opportunity in London at the unveiling of the Windsor Report in St. Paul's cathedral. I asked what cover and protection the Primates would continue to offer orthodox parishes caught in revisionist ECUSA dioceses.
Archbishop Williams referred me to the communiqué which said he is going to ensure that proper and adequate pastoral care is extended to such parishes. (Par. 15) "In order to protect groups in dispute with their bishop or dioceses in dispute with their provinces Dr. Williams would appoint a panel of reference to supervise the adequacy of pastoral provisions."
Archbishop Gomez later emphasized that he believed that this provision would be more than adequate to meet American needs.
Later in answer to a related question the Archbishop of Uganda stated that overseas primates would continue to provide pastoral care to the parishes currently under their oversight, but that they would not take on any new ones IF this projected provision worked well.
This was met by some skepticism by me. Over the course of the last few years this problem has escalated to the point that several orthodox parishes are in litigation with revisionist bishops, and I see no reason to think that this will suddenly diminish or disappear.
A case in point is this week's announcement by Pennsylvania Bishop Charles E. Bennison that he would pursue legal action to take back three parishes in his diocese that have left the Episcopal Church USA.
Later in the press conference I began to ask a question but Archbishop Eames cut me off.
Here is the question. Is it true that on the agenda and in the conference there was no public Eucharist arranged for all the primates? The communiqué stated that there was common prayer and worship but it nowhere states that there was a common Eucharist for all. I have developed this more fully in my story KOINONIA BUT NO COMMON EUCHARIST which is at the website. www.virtueonline.org.
I am not sure whether it is tonight or tomorrow that a large group of Primates is being hosted by several orthodox leaders of the ECUSA. I wish them a happy occasion. Regrettably I am not able to attend as I have been called away to a laptop and later as a guest of the Evangelical Fellowship of Ireland.

Movie stars, singers, musicians and many more that make a lot of money and are famous, are admired by teenagers. However, we don't even know the person or their personality. But some of them expresses their personality by what are doing. An example of these is an author. An author is a person who begins or creates something that gives the privileged moment of individualization in a way of history of ideas, knowledge, literature, philosophy, and the sciences.
Do you know Joanne "Jo" Rowling? Or must known as "J. K. Rowling"? Well, she is one of my favorite writers in my life. Also, she is best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. The books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, and sold more than 400 million copies. They have become the best-selling book series in history. And because of this, she has supported different charities.
And yes, these kinds of books that she wrote are my kind of story too. I really love fantasy stories. (I also do love Daniel Jacob Radcliffe! 😍) Anyway, just for you to share. I almost watched this movie a hundred of times. Lol. I don't know, maybe because I find magic as an amusing way of getting people's attention. For me, movie magic is the art of creating things for the big screen, that will take it's viewers through a whole new experience without ever having to leave their chair.
Many thanks to J. K. Rowling that she filled my imaginations and she teaches each one of us that they can leave their world behind by dropping into one where almost anything is possible. For a few short hours, everything is perfect. The only downfall of that however, is that eventually the story will come to an end, and everyone will have to come back to reality, where things aren't always so perfect as we have ever imagined.

If you own or manage an eCommerce store, you likely spend a lot of time stalking your competitors as well as other eCommerce stores trying to find creative ways of getting and keeping your audience hooked on your particular shop. Implementing new features, however, can be costly, time-consuming and might not pay off on the long term so learning to discern the value of one beyond it's curb appeal is very important.
Let's look at a few stores with features that offer more than a face-lift for the shop and understand each of their potential benefits. I'm not suggesting any of the examples below include perfect websites or that there's no room for improvement but I believe each of these features is worth a long, hard look.
Quick disclaimer: the list includes features I've stumbled upon as a result of visiting the below-mentioned websites, without having been asked to do so or receiving anything in return.
Inspired product descriptions
Product descriptions are one of the most important and underutilized store features available, acting both as your tireless sales assistant and a showcase for your brand's personality. Chotronette seems to understand the value of a well-written product description and employs short, one to two paragraph long, descriptions which focus less on the fabrics, cuts and embellishments and more on describing the experience of wearing the dress.
Not only does every dress have a name (no, the SKU doesn't qualify as a name) but they all follow a delicious theme, with descriptions that offer a recipe for the dress every elegant woman will resonate with. Through well-crafted descriptions, they entice the senses with textures, smells and even sounds, harmonizing the look and feel of the dress with the design process behind it.
What you see is what you get
How many disclaimers stating that the actual product may differ from image shown have you read and how many times have you held your breath hoping a product you bought online was at least in the same zip code as the image based on which you placed your order?
Thanks to their awesome feature, Sweetwater takes that worry out of your shopping equation. Instead of showing you a generic product image, you get a photo associated with the serial number of the product you're buying.
At first glance, it might not seem like a big deal but wood textures are unique and guitar players looking for such an item in a brick and mortar store, would definitely take time and care to select a texture they like. Responding to this need, Sweetwater has managed to supply a subtle but very valuable piece of information that has the real potential of getting turning potential customers into actual customers.
Product photos with style
In the economy of an eCommerce store, product descriptions and product photos are equally as important. Fortunately, there are stores out there that not only feature high-quality product images but are stepping up their game by styling their products, adding value to their customer experience.
By including different accessories in its product photography, the Vania Szasz brand goes so far as to create outfit suggestions, conveying not just the quality and value of their own products but their feel and style as well.
The value of the feature goes beyond creating an authentic experience for the user, it also consolidates their branding efforts by creating a more personal connection with the potential customer and positioning the brand as a reliable source of style suggestions.
Vania Szasz's strategy is proof that ditching the boring product photography and daring to be different can most certainly pay off.
Add a personal touch
The value of a product lies in much more than its price tag. It's derived from the craftsmanship put into its creation, the quality of the materials used, the standards the builders hold themselves to and much more. A default eCommerce story will have a very hard time conveying all of these elements unless you find a way of highlighting them and, simply packing all fo them in the About us section won't always do the trick.
Herman Miller has included an extra feature on their product page, intended to help the potential customer understand not only the design process behind the product but also effectively convey the design story of the product, from concept review, to the goals they were trying to achieve, on to the materials, the process and finally, the end result.
Thanks to this personal touch, the user is much more likely to understand the quality of the product they're buying by virtue of the tools and techniques that were used to build it. In addition, thanks to the storytelling approach, the feature helps in consolidating the brand's overall image.
Use product videos wisely
Videos are a great way of bringing the product closer your audience and showcasing its features. A lot of eCommerce stores who do use this feature incorporate it into the product page in a dedicated multimedia gallery. It's not wrong but it's become rather dull.
On the other side of the spectrum, Sabon NY has included their product videos in a quick-buy feature as well as the product page. Without having to scroll through a gallery, they've added a play button on the image in said feature which allows the user to see the video without having to navigate away from the product spotlight.
In doing so, they've ensured the product information and, more importantly, the Add to Bag button remain in the user's reach at all times, allowing the customer to experience the product and buy it without having to navigate away from the initial view.
The Bottom Line
Deciding which product features can improve user experience and really make you stand out will mean the difference between hoarding features that you like and adding features that actually work for your eCommerce store and improve your brand's performance. Hopefully, the features included in this list have shown that this process should be one driven by reason, guided by your brand's mission and in the context of your brand's voice and personality.

Forget savings bonds and certificates of deposit. Jay Sekelsky, 38, is saving for his three children's college education by investing in a stock mutual fund.
His own.
``My expectation is that I would have around a 10 percent annual rate of return, and I can't get that from CDs and I can't get that from savings bonds,'' said Sekelsky, portfolio manager of the Mosaic Investors Fund.
The fund, up 34.5 percent last year, was among the scant 7 percent of stock funds that beat the 33.4 percent return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
The fund did it by investing in a concentrated portfolio of 25 to 30 stocks of companies growing their profits consistently while selling at low enough prices.
In the investment jargon, that's called ``GARP,'' or growth at a reasonable price. But Sekelsky said many fund managers who claim to follow that strategy leave out the ``ARP.''
``Too many times growth managers are just interested in the G,'' or how fast company profits are growing, he said. ``We are very much concerned about the price we are paying.''
Despite this ``risk-conscious'' strategy, Sekelsky is quick to point out that saving for college in a stock mutual fund is not for everyone.
``It's very much a personal choice,'' he said. ``Some investors can't sleep at night knowing their money is in the stock market.''

The release of the Rivonia Treason Trialists was a mojor victory for the African National Congress in its fight for the release of all political prisoners. Wilton Mkwayi, Ahmed Kathrada, Walter Sisulu, Raymond Mhlaba, Andrew Mlangeni, Elias Motsoaledi, Govan Mbeki,Denis Goldberg and later Nelson Mandela and the unbanning of the all political formations created the atmosphere for negotiated political settlement with the apartheid government. In the main picture is of Walter Sisulu.
Having regard to the fact that the Committee had only two weeks to prepare, and in the face of intensive and relentless police intimidation, and after studying the reports from various parts of the country, I am perfectly satisfied that, as a political strike, Monday 26 June was an outstanding success.
– Walter Sisulu

They tryin-they comin' for my head po (uh)
They're tryin' to put pressure on a nigga
Huh, short notice (uh-huh)
Got sumpin' for them niggaz though (uh-huh)
[Verse 1]
I'm like the Dow Jones of rap, my stocks is high
And it never was all of, so stop the lies
Mothaf**kas'll blow your brains out, and watch you bleed
The same niggaz that you trust, let 'em watch your seed
You got a dead niggaz, money don't stop the greed
That's why now I gotta rock my vest, pop my 3
And whoever die first, may god forgive
the nigga who lives, sometimes you gotta handle your biz
To my niggaz when I die, keep inhalin' the lye
And come to my wake high, when your tellin' me bye
What goes around comes around, am I comin' or goin'?
All i'm tryin' to do is leave you numb, gunnin' or flowin'
I might cock-back the gauge, and start shootin' at 'cha people
I'm lookin for the devil 'cuz money's the root of evil
And 'Kiss won't be happy 'til my bezel look see-thru
Until I flood N-Y with pediquo and diesle
Catch me with the top, off my whip
Bust my gun while it's still tucked so you could hop, off my
I run with a few parolees, all thieves, that rocks ice
Blue pacholies and rolies
At the mob meetin', keep quite when the God speakin'
Squeeze my joint, 'til my mothaf**kin' palm squeakin'
And nevermind who the lox'll sign to (that's right)
What difference do it make nigga?
Just listen to the tape nigga (c'mon)
Jay to the mmwwaa, hustle coke, ryde or die (uh)
Kiss hand-wash money, let it drip dry (uh-huh)
Jay to the mmwwaa, keep cowards on their toes (yeah)
Kiss push the drop, rock the ice, get the hoes (uh)
Jay to the mmwwaa got the smash on the block (uh-huh)
Kiss got the label's tellin' niggaz not to drop (tell 'em)

Goat Cheese Tartlets With Fig-Balsamic Compote
How to Make It
Heat oven to 375°. Working with one sheet at a time, cut circles from the pastry using a 2½-inch round cutter. Gently fit the rounds into the cups of 1½ mini-muffin pans (about 36 cavities, total) so that the dough is flush with the edge of each cup. Prick all over with a fork and refrigerate until cold, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the goat cheese and sour cream in a medium bowl. Slowly stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the vinegar and thyme leaves and cook until the vinegar is mostly absorbed. Let cool slightly, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl and fold in fig jam.
Remove the muffin pans from the refrigerator. Fill each cup with one heaping tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture. Bake until the pastry is slightly puffed and golden brown, 15-20 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through. Let the tartlets cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a platter.
Top each tartlet with 1 walnut piece, 1 teaspoon fig compote, and a small pinch of micro greens. Serve at room temperature.

[source: no idea, floating around Facebook?]
This post has been floating around in my mind for weeks, since I first saw the above quote. Those words really resonated with me and have been a sort of theme for me throughout this marathon training.
Two years ago, I was not able to run a marathon. I don't even mean that in just the physical sense. I mean, I was beaten down mentally. I had no confidence that my body could handle such a feat... ever. My body, more poor habits, my unhealthiness... it all controlled me, not the other way around. Running a mile - let alone 26! - was not in the cards for a person like me.
Going back even farther, I was always that chubby-ish kid. I was super competitive and liked many sports, but was pretty bad at them. Cat = not an athlete!
But underneath that clumsiness, the fat, the doubts, was my stubbornness. My competitive streak. My desire to make more of myself, somehow.
When I was in high school, I suffered terrible allergies and asthma. The mile run at school gave my mom heartburn. Because I insisted on DOING it. Even though it would invariably lead to expensive breathing treatments. We were just talking about this the other day. She told me my freshman year she probably spent over $100 so I could run a mile. And I mean one mile - not a mile daily. We're talking one or two incidents during gym class. Looking back, I'm thankful she made that investment in me and didn't give me a hard time about it, or tell me I couldn't do it.
Wouldn't it be a great story if that mile turned into a healthy lifestyle of running through my teens and twenties?
Well, I didn't. I sat and read a lot and enjoyed many, many carbs and desserts.
But that mile gave me strength. I had to store it up for years. Decades. But I brought it out one day, and started running down the block. Now, I'm fast approaching a 26.2 mile race. I never thought I would run 26.2 miles in my LIFE let alone in one DAY. I was not a person who could run a marathon! But after weeks and months of slowly changing my body and, more importantly, my mind, I have changed into the person that can achieve that dream.
Mark shook his head at me a few weeks ago, when I told him what time I had to get up in order to get my 8 mile run in before work. "What have you done with my wife!" He noted that a year ago, I would never have considered waking up at that hour to RUN. But I'm not the same person anymore.
I am an athlete.
I am a runner.
And, by Sunday afternoon on October 21st, I will be a marathoner.
