The IRS today released an advance version of Announcement 2016-39 that—in providing relief to taxpayers adversely affected by Hurricane Matthew—allows individuals with retirement assets in qualified employer plans (401(k)s and similar employer-sponsored retirement plans) to make loans and take hardship distributions from their plans.
Announcement 2016-39 [PDF 25 KB] also provides relief from certain verification procedures that may be required under retirement plans with respect to loans and hardship distributions and relaxes certain procedural and administrative rules that normally apply to retirement plan loans and hardship distributions.
Today's IRS guidance explains that qualified employer plan will not be treated as failing to satisfy any requirement under the Code or regulations merely because the plan makes a loan, or a hardship distribution for a need arising from Hurricane Matthew, to an employee or former employee whose principal residence on October 4, 2016 (October 3, 2016, for Florida) was located in one of the counties identified for individual assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) because of the devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew or whose place of employment was located in one of these counties on that applicable date or whose lineal ascendant or descendant, dependent, or spouse had a principal residence or place of employment in one of these counties on that date.
The counties identified for individual assistance by FEMA are in located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. If additional counties in these or other states are identified by FEMA for individual assistance because of damage related to Hurricane Matthew, the relief provided in this announcement will also apply, from the date specified by FEMA as the beginning of the incident period, and that date would be substituted for references to October 4, 2016, in this announcement.
The IRS guidance provides that plan administrators may rely upon representations from the employee or former employee as to the need for and amount of a hardship distribution, unless the plan administrator has actual knowledge to the contrary, and the distribution is treated as a hardship
The IRS explained in a related IRS release—IR-2016-138 (October 21, 2016)—that individuals affected by Hurricane Matthew and who are participants in 401(k) plans, employees of public schools and tax-exempt organizations with 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities, as well as state and local government employees with 457(b) deferred-compensation plans may be eligible to take advantage of the streamlined loan procedures and liberalized hardship distribution rules. While IRA participants are barred from taking out loans, they may be eligible to receive distributions under liberalized procedures.
Plans will be allowed to make loans or hardship distributions before the plan is formally amended to provide for such features. In addition, the plan can ignore the reasons that normally apply to hardship distributions, thus allowing them, for example, to be used for food and shelter. If a plan requires certain documentation before a distribution is made, the plan can relax this requirement as described in the announcement.

QC (Quality Certified)
Fruit: Blueberry
Fruit Variety: wild blueberry (vaccinium Angustifolium)
Winemaking Notes: Fermented on the skins. Aged in French oak for 7 months.
Bottle: 750 ml
Style: Dry
Tasting Notes:
The Oak Aged Wild Blueberry Wine (QC) from Muskoka Lakes Winery is a unique wine that drinks almost like a dry, red grape wine. This wine was fermented on the skins, pressed and then aged in French oak barrels in our granite cellar. Deep purple in colour, it has a spicy, blueberry nose with hints of Christmas cake and eucalyptus. This medium-bodied wine has a nice balance of fruit and oak tannins, good acidy and a long finish. Pair it with roast beef, pepper steak and leg of lamb. Drink now or cellar for 3-5 years. Serve at room temperature.

Linus Torvalds piped up in the comments of a Google+ posting by Linux kernel hacker Dave Jones to air his true feelings about Gnome 3: "it's not that I have rendering problems with gnome3 (although I do have those too), it's that the user experience of Gnome3 even without rendering problems is unacceptable." People care what Linus thinks, and when he ditched KDE for Gnome a couple of years ago, people took note. Now he's using Xfce.

I like GNOME 3 on Fedora 15. Already got used to the way you are supposed to switch applications and keep doing that on Mac and Ubuntu (Unity) as well and then doesn't work. Annoying
Sure, it needs lots of work. NetworkManager is not quite there yet and I miss the weather applet. But other than that! Awesome!

Performance low compliance sway bar link kits are designed to replace the high compliance original equipment versions on most Impreza, Liberty (Legacy) and WRX. Does not suit STi or cars with alloy front a-arms or factory rose joint type link.
These kits utilise a high strength alloy link fitted with ultra low compliance polyurethane bushes. Critical hardware is replaced with high tensile components to match the higher loads. The result is much more precise and direct roll control with up to 25% more effective bar rate available at lower wheel deflection points. This does not always mean an outright increase in your bar rate but rather a quickening of its effect allowing more bar rate earlier. Link shape and bush mounts are designed to allow maximum sway bar articulation to ensure full suspension travel while acting more directly under vertical load. Unlike other brands, standard or stock length maintains correct swaybar operation for both lowered AND standard height vehicles.

People in town seem to be split on the use of a 2nd round pick on quarterback Pat White. Whether they believe the Dolphins could get him later in the draft or they don?t think he has the skills to be an every down QB in the NFL, he?s got everybody talking.
Let?s start with the fact that Pat White helped his stock in the Senior Bowl by having a good week of throwing the football in front of pro scouts. After watching him excel as a terrific dual threat college quarterback, the Fins got wide-eyed when imagining him stepping in to their Wildcat offense and giving it another dimension of throwing the ball down the field. This means that defenses can no longer stack the line of scrimmage. Instead, they must be prepared for multiple options out of the formation.
I don?t believe that White will be competing with Chad Henne down the road for Miami?s starting QB position. Henne?s size and arm strength make him a better every down quarterback, while White is perfectly suited to specialize as the change-of-pace Wildcat field general. I?m already anxious to see just how Dan Henning and David Lee will use White?s talents to make their signature formation even more dangerous. By the way, I believe Ronnie Brown will still play a major role.
A combination of giving the quarterback position another weapon and making the Wildcat more explosive will justify the Dolphins? choice of White early in the 2nd round. He?s a great athlete and now it?s Miami?s job to maximize his talent come September.
Listen to what West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart said on Tuesday's show about how Pat White will impact the Dolphins
Check back with me before the end of the week when I?ll share my thoughts on the possibility of Jason Taylor joining the Fins.

I haven't allowed this bitch to cum in such a long time. The loser has blueballs & is in severe pain 24/7. I think it's funny & still tease & deny him daily. Only to make 'em hurt even more! Ha ha. Well today is no exception, & especially cuz I'm wearing my sexy Barbie Sandals & I'm in the mood to drive. I tell the bitch that if his throbbing frustrated cock makes a good gas pedal for me. Then I'll let him cum, so those painful blueballs stop hurting. So I floor the sh*! out of it & stomp it good & really frustrate the bitch even more. I bring it right to the edge, but the loser can't keep control of himself & it leaks. So I immediately stop & take my foot off it. I won't allow the bitch to have the satisfaction of a real release. Only a ruined one instead! Ha ha. Well maybe another 2 weeks in chastity will help to cure this pre-mature ejaculation problem that the loser now has & to give the bitch the necessary discipline that he needs, in order to be a better slave. We'll see.

John, the financially troubled Earl of Woodstock, plans to recoup his losses by betting on gypsy boxer Joe Lee in a fight at the English National Sporting Club, and by entering his horse, Lady Love, in the London Derby at Epsom Downs. Woodstock's sworn enemy, gambler Malet De Carteret, orders his wife Olive to thwart the earl's first plan by luring Joe away from both his trainer and his devoted sweetheart, Kitty Cavanagh. When the boxer fails to respond to Olive's charms, however, she drugs him, whereupon Woodstock enters the ring and, following a difficult contest, defeats champion pugilist Crake. Meanwhile, De Carteret's men steal Lady Love, but Kitty's sister Norah, with whom Woodstock is in love, tricks the gambler and regains the horse. Next, De Carteret kidnaps the earl, but Joe rescues him, and both men arrive at the track in time to see Lady Love win the race. Wealthy once again, Woodstock marries Norah, while Joe weds his loving Kitty.

Wearable Photos: A DIY guide
Extra photos for bloggers: 1, 2, 3
Ever had the urge to wrap your body in photographs? Yes? Well, today, all of your dreams can come true!
Follow this guide to learn how to turn your photos into wearable photo fabric — that's right fabric.
Use our Photo Fabric Dye Kit and the power of the sun to permanently print images onto most fabrics. This process is quick, easy, and works like magic.
You'll be draped in photos in no time.
p.s. Yay! 4by6.com has a free special for Photojojo fans today. They make primo square cards from your Instagram shots & more!
Why it's cool:
1. You're wearing photographs.
2. You're wearing photographs!
3. And, you made them yourself.
Within a few short hours, you'll have photographs permanently printed on fabric. You don't even need a darkroom. This stuff comes ready to go out of the bottle. Just mix, paint, and expose. Watch the dye change right before your eyes.
- Sewing Pattern
(If you're new to sewing, you can print on pre-made clothing, too!)
- Fabric
- Photo Fabric Dye
- Negatives
- Scissors
- Scotch Tape
- Masking Tape
- Sponge Brush
- Water
- Measuring Cup or Mixing Bowl
- Portable Hard Surface to work on
- Additive Free Sop
- Washing Machine
- Sewing Machine
Step 1 – Pick your favorite pattern
Buy enough fabric for your pattern and size. We found that 100% cotton that has been prepared for dyeing (PFD on the label) works best. Feel free to experiment, but test small pieces first.
TIP Need a little help sewing? Check out this page for step by step instructions.
Step 2 – Print your negatives
Scan old family photographs or use that amazing digital image you shot yesterday. Inverted your photo in Photoshop to make a negative image, and printed them on 8.5 x 11″ transparencies.
TIP Higher contrast images tend to work better. Boost up your contrast before inverting it.
Step 3 – Plan it out
Think about the layout of your pattern and how you want your images to look in the end.
Do you want all of your images facing a certain direction on your dress? Do they need to be placed vertically on your fabric or horizontally? Will you cover the whole dress or just the skirt?
Cut fabric into manageable parts. This will make it easier to transport and manage during the dyeing steps.
TIP Remember that whole measure twice cut once theory? It's a good one. Make sure you cut your fabric into pieces that will leave you enough room to cut out your pattern later.
The cut fabric will shrink and fray along the edges in the wash, so don't cut out your perfect pieces just yet… Just big sections that are easier to work with.
Step 4 – Secure your fabric
Use a portable hard surface to tape your fabric onto. We found a sturdy board does the trick.
You want to be able to pick this up and move it outside. Imagine a windstorm as soon as you walk outside. Make sure your hard work (and delicate materials) stay in place. Tape, tape, tape!
Step 5 – Get ready:
Set up your workstation in a shaded place. Lay out all of the materials you'll need within arms reach (dye, water, measuring cup, brush, tape).
The dye is light sensitive, so you'll want to work quickly to minimize unwanted exposure.
Step 6 – Shake, rattle and
roll, paint:
Shake your bottle of dye really well before opening. All the good stuff settles to the bottom. Paint it onto your fabric.
TIP Try diluting the dye with water in equal parts and mix well. You'll get a little more out of your bottle, and painting it on will be much smoother.
Diluted dyes take a bit longer to expose. We definitely recommend doing a small test exposure before diving all the way in.
Step 7 – Tape Down your negatives
Lay your negatives on the coated surface and tape them in place. Remember that windstorm we mentioned?
Trust us, you'd rather spend a little extra time taping all the edges down now than chasing those negatives down your driveway.
Step 8 – Expose!
Just like magic! Take your coated, taped fabric outside and watch the sun do its thing.
On a clear sunny day, exposure is usually around 6-8 minutes. If it's cloudy, later in the day, or a diluted solution, exposure may take a bit longer.
TIP Do smaller test pieces first to check your desired time.
Step 9 – Rinse and Repeat!
When you're satisfied with your exposure, take the whole board back into a shady place. Remove your negatives, marvel at your accomplishments, then get that sucker into the wash.
Use HOT water and additive free soap- you don't want any crazy chemicals mixing with the dye. We used a little Dawn dish soap.
Run your fabric print under water and scrub it with your hands before the washing machine cycle. This stops the developing process, and the wash will remove unexposed dye. Prints will lighten a bit after washing and drying.
Repeat the above steps for the rest of your fabric.
Step 10 – Stitch
Follow the directions on your pattern. Cut. Stitch. Magic!
A wearable photograph. You're welcome! :)
GO Nuts!
- Why stop there? The Photo Fabric Dye can be used on virtually any fabric surface (searching closet now). If sewing seems too much, try making pillow cases, like the photo above, tote bags, t-shirts, shower curtains, even lampshades.
- Tile photos together to make larger prints. Bigger is better right?
- Get inspired by this vid all about using Photo Fabric Dye (from the makers, Lumi!)
- Get artsy with fabric photos! Artist and photojojo fan Margo Duvall, of The MARMAR Studio, has been using the Photo Fabric Dye for installation based art works.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, already at odds with the U.S. over a vital security pact, snubbed western leaders once again by joining the likes of Syria and Venezuela in backing Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Karzai's office released a statement over the weekend saying Afghanistan "respects the free will of the people of Crimea to decide about their own future."
The statement said "we respect the decision the people of Crimea took through a recent referendum that considers Crimea as part of the Russian Federation."
Karzai weighed in on the Ukraine crisis shortly before President Obama flew overseas for meetings with European partners. The Obama administration and European allies have described the Crimea referendum, and Russia's decision to annex the peninsula, as "illegitimate."
The Afghanistan statement, though, was yet another indication of how far the Karzai administration has drifted away from the U.S. as the Afghanistan war -- or the United States' involvement in it -- draws to a close, despite Washington's past support for his presidency. Karzai, in backing Moscow, was also aligning with actors who, under the Soviet Union, prosecuted a prior decade-long war in his country. The U.S. backed Afghan groups fighting against the Soviet-led forces in that war.
Karzai may now be seeking to court Russia, for its aid and general support, as American forces withdraw from the country.
Karzai, though, so far has refused to sign a security agreement that would provide for a residual force of U.S. troops to stay behind after the final withdrawal.
In his final address to Afghanistan's parliament earlier this month, Karzai told the United States its soldiers can leave at the end of the year because his military, which already protects 93 percent of the country, was ready to take over entirely.
The Afghan president has come under heavy pressure to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement, with a council of notables that he himself convened recommending that he sign the pact. The force would train and mentor Afghan troops, and some U.S. Special Forces would also be left behind to hunt down Al Qaeda.
All 10 candidates seeking the presidency in April 5 elections have said they would sign the security agreement. But Karzai himself does not appear to want his legacy to include a commitment to a longer foreign troop presence in his country.
Facing Karzai's refusal, Obama already has asked the Pentagon to draft plans for a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of the year.

Superferry officials said the Coast Guard, contrary to previous assurances, can no longer guarantee a safe passage for its 350-foot vessel and passengers in and out of Nawiliwili Harbor on Kauai, where environmental protesters in the water blocked it's docking late Monday.
A temporary restraining order sought by opponents had already halted service to Maui, with a hearing set for Wednesday.
The company had said it would continue operations to Kauai, but the Superferry had to turn back, without docking, on Monday after about 65 swimmers, surfboarders and kayakers entered the water and obstructed passage of the vessel. Eleven were subsequently arrested.
The Coast Guard appeared unable to prevent the protest, without endangering the safety of the protesters.
A Coast Guard statement said Captain Vince Atkins, U.S.C,G, Captain of the Port, Honolulu, had made a recommendation that operations to and from Nailiwili be suspended.
"Based on our current assessment of the situation in Nawiliwili, we made a recommendation to the state that it would not have been a safe transit into the harbor," said Atkins of Tuesday afternoon's state decision to cancel the Superferry's trip to Nawiliwili.
"The U.S. Coast Guard is committed to safety and security and enforces all applicable laws in the maritime environment. In this instance, the risk level was too high for the vessel, its passengers and for the protestors."
The U.S. Coast Guard will continue to work with state officials and law enforcement agencies on the safest course of action for the Superferry's inter-island transits. Atkins urged protestors to be mindful of their safety and their obligation to obey the law.
"These surfers, swimmers, and other protestors in the water place themselves and the ferry in danger when they disregard the law," said Atkins. "Coast Guard use of force requires the minimum force necessary to compel compliance along a continuum of force. We have used the minimum force necessary to ensure safety to this point. Safety and security is a shared responsibility, and I don't want anyone to underestimate the risks they undertake when they challenge the law."
The Austal USA built Superferry Alakai was stalled outside Nawiliwili Harbor on Monday for some three hours as Coast Guard vessels, including an 85-foot cutter, failed to clear a way for the ship.
Monday's temporary restraining order barring the ferry from Kahului Harbor on Maui was sought by three environmentalist organizations who want to prevent the Superferry from using the harbor until an environmental assessment is conducted. The order does not affect ports on Oahu or Kauai.
The court move came after the state Supreme Court ruled last week that the state should have required an environmental assessment before the ferry service began. As the Supreme Court did not explicitly say the ferry should not operate, state officials allowed the service to start.
Press reports quote Governor Lingle --a strong Superferry supporter--as saying it was unfair for the Superferry to be singled out when cruise ships, cargo carriers and other vessels have not been required to conduct environmental reviews.
"We've never required an environmental assessment on one vessel in our state's history," said Lingle.

Unreal didn't describe it.
We'd lived in the house since our marriage day. Newborns brought home from the hospital to the house. Lots of pacing the hall at night. Countless deep discussions and passionate disagreements! Exquisite meals. Rugged and sweet friendships. Scorching weeks and tears. Unquenchably enthusiastic celebrations. All in the house.
The house was empty. Except for an echo and a mattress on one of the bedroom floors. We had moved all of our belongings out and we had one night left to sleep there. We thought sleeping in the same room on our last night, then getting up and walking out the door would make it easier on us.
Except I couldn't sleep. It was a long night of tossing and turning. Intermittent crying. Near panic attacks. Catching my breath when I could. Heather holding me, praying for us, and being my backbone the best she could.
I had known that we would move, and that it was the right decision, but I had ignored this impending night for weeks. I had put it in the back of my mind.
And it hit me wildly. I was left in a state of brutal sentimentality. Questioning the entire decision.
As odd as it sounds (and on a much smaller pain scale, so as to not offend anyone!), it was the closest thing that I know to the process of laboring for a new child. Something new was coming and I knew that it would be beautiful, but I felt like I could barely make it through the night. And maybe I wanted to just give up.
A chapter was ending.
I thought about the scope of what we were "leaving." From the week we were preparing to move in… standing in the living room amongst boxes when we received the news that our friend, Jody, had died… to getting the beautiful news about being pregnant with Jude… and then Lucy … to those who lived with us throughout our time there… to the moments where we decided to take steps on new adventures and step away from old ones… to the last night sitting on the hardwood floors in the empty living room eating pizza with a family who have been neighbors, roommates, friends, but primarily OUR family for the past ten years (and they continue to be that)…. Listening to the laughter of our four kids echo off of the skeletons of the house.
A big chapter was ending. And looking back, we were learning the Gospel from the beginning of the chapter to the end. We were always being readied to be sent.
On that day I realized that no matter where we moved, on this earth we would always be homesick.
And somehow, I found some beauty and comfort in that.

The Swedish Fire Torch, also known as a Canadian Candle, is a great way to set up a fire as it uses only one log, has a flat cooking surface and is self feeding, meaning it can burn for several hours without any attention.
This is the best campfire/camp stove/fire pit that I've ever seen. Ever! A Swedish log candle is a log that has had an eight pointed star cut down into it. When an accelerant is poured into the crevasses and lit, it becomes the most perfect outdoor heat source.
To make one you will need a chainsaw and a log. It's like cutting a cake and we ALL know how to do that! (Yum. Cake.) Be sure that your log has a flat bottom or good luck with getting straight cuts and your chainsaw staying in one place. Getting the star cuts just right might take a little practice but I think it would be worth it. Can you imagine the stable cooking surface? It's already dreaming of delicious camping recipes. And never has there been a more perfect stump (once it dies down a bit.)
The Swedish log candle is a relatively slow-burning fire, which goes through distinct stages that are well suited for different uses. When first lit it makes an excellent light source. Within half an hour, the flat, circular top is ideally suited for a kettle, skillet or billycan. After an hour, the log will emit considerable heat, and finally, as the log burns from the inside out, it creates a unique 360-degree natural oven for cooking kebabs of any sort.
The beauty of the Swedish torch is that once you light it, you can basically forget it. The log will slowly burn from the inside out. The cuts through the log provide natural air flow that will keep your fire ventilated. It also doubles as a cooking surface and is perfect for holding cast iron pans.
They're not something you'd backpack with, but really work well. They're especially good in a backyard fire pt!

(Washington, D.C.) October 22, 2014 — The Jesuit Conference of the United States, Jesuit Refugee Service/USA and more than 50 other organizations have written to Congressional leaders urging the United States to respond in a compassionate and sustainable manner to the humanitarian crisis forcing children and families to flee from their homes.
The faith-based, humanitarian, diaspora, labor and human rights organizations note that one of the factors behind the movements of people from Central America is gang and organized-crime related violence, leaving people "little recourse in nations with weak judicial systems and, particularly in Guatemala and Honduras, corrupt and abusive police forces."
The organizations urge the members of Congress to adopt a policy that addresses "violence against children, including violence linked to organized crime, and sexual and gender-based violence."
The text of the letter follows:
The Honorable Patrick J. Leahy, Chairman
Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
The Honorable Lindsey Graham, Ranking Member
Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
The Honorable Kay Granger, Chair
House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
The Honorable Nita Lowey, Ranking Member
House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
Dear Chairman Leahy, Madame Chair Granger, and Ranking Members Graham and Lowey:
As faith-based, humanitarian, diaspora, labor and human rights organizations, we are greatly troubled by the humanitarian crisis in the Northern Triangle of Central America that has compelled the migration of families and children, often unaccompanied, to the United States. This crisis deserves a response that is both compassionate and sustainable. As you finalize your conference negotiations of the omnibus legislation, we urge you to retain provisions of the FY15 State and Foreign Operations bills that seek to address some of the factors driving children, families, women, and men to abandon their homes in the Central American region.
A major factor driving migration from Northern Triangle countries is the failure of government institutions to protect the rights and safety of their citizenry. Facing gang and organized-crime related violence, citizens have little recourse in nations with weak judicial systems and, particularly in Guatemala and Honduras, corrupt and abusive police forces. For children and young people, the fear of being recruited by or preyed upon by gangs, compounded by the lack of job and/or educational opportunities, are compelling reasons to take the enormous risks of crossing borders.
U.S. aid and policies towards Central America that invest in community and evidence-based violence prevention programs, strengthen judicial systems' ability to reduce impunity, improve governments' ability and political will to uphold and protect the human rights and labor rights of their citizens, expand protection for children and women, and improve opportunities for employment and education, especially for youth, would help to address this humanitarian crisis in a sustainable way. Accountable and well-staffed child protection systems and safe shelters for victims of violence are urgently needed. Likewise, for migrants who are not at risk of persecution, abuse or trafficking, who can safely return to their home countries, investments in well-resourced and monitored repatriation and reintegration programs that effectively allow returnees to reunite with family, and access skills-training or scholarships can reduce the likelihood the children and youth will feel compelled to migrate again.
Therefore we respectfully urge the conference committee to accept the Senate provisions which call on the Secretary of State and USAID to create a strategy and spending plan "to address key indicators of poverty, lack of educational, vocational and employment opportunities, and the high rates of criminal gang activity, other violent crimes, narcotics and human trafficking, family dissolution, child abuse and neglect, and other factors in countries that are contributing to significant increase in migration of unaccompanied, undocumented minors to the United States." We ask that such a strategy address violence against children, including violence linked to organized crime, and sexual and gender-based violence. The provision calling on the Secretary of State and USAID to consult with civil society representatives in these countries in developing this strategy, along with its goals and benchmarks, is particularly important. The strategy ought to include clear and adequate criteria for defining and measuring progress. We strongly urge the conferees to include the $100 million designated in the Senate version for implementing this strategy and to focus on the kinds of assistance listed above.
In addition, we urge the conferees to adopt specific Senate measures that strengthen human rights in these countries, including:
• human rights conditions on security assistance for Honduras and Guatemala, and for Mexico and Colombia as well, along with $5 million in funding for implementing Leahy Law human rights vetting worldwide. These indispensable human rights conditions, when tied to security assistance and strictly implemented, provide leverage for the U.S. government to encourage aid-receiving governments to investigate and sanction gross human rights abuses and prevent U.S. tax dollars from being misspent on crime, abuse and corruption.
• the provisions that require international financial institutions to include rigorous human rights due diligence in connection with loans, grants, and policies, and that call for reparations for communities affected by Guatemala's Chixoy Dam.
We strongly support funding for specific international institutions to strengthen the rule of law and respect for human rights in Central America, including:
• funding for the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG), which has made vital contributions towards the struggle against organized crime, corruption and impunity in Guatemala (we recommend the higher $5 million total in the House bill);
• no less than $7 million for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to expand its activities in Central America and Mexico and build emergency shelters and regional protection systems;
• funding (in the Senate version) to open an office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Honduras, urgently needed to address the deterioration of human rights and rights-protecting institutions in that country, along with continued funding for these offices in Colombia and Mexico; and
• $2 million (in the Senate report) for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, a strong voice encouraging Central American and other regional governments to strengthen the rule of law and often the most important recourse for human rights defenders at risk.
We urge that funding for these activities not come at the expense of other effective humanitarian and development assistance, which work together to serve the common goal of building a safer and more prosperous world.
We emphasize that additional funding to corrupt or abusive security forces will not provide sustainable security and indeed may lead to increased human rights abuses. We highlight the Senate report language regarding CARSI INL assistance, which cautions that: should be made available only for governments that the Secretary of State determine "CARSI assistance demonstrate a clear and convincing commitment to punishing corruption and reforming their security forces."
We are concerned that authorities in Mexico and Central America tasked with border security and immigration control are plagued by corruption and abuse. Increased U.S. assistance for these institutions could place already vulnerable migrants at greater risk of human rights violations, particularly if assistance does not prioritize efforts to strengthen accountability, curb corruption and improve respect of human rights within these agencies. Furthermore, we are disturbed that Central American victims of persecution and trafficking apprehended in Mexico or intercepted at the borders of Guatemala and Honduras are routinely being deported or turned-back placing them at risk of further persecution, death, trafficking and exploitation in violation of international law.
Children would not be fleeing Central America alone and in such numbers without serious situations that compel them to undertake this dangerous journey. We must do our utmost to ensure that the United States seeks to address the factors driving this migration in a compassionate, reasonable and sustainable manner. Thank you for your consideration of our requests.

Population:14.5 millionLiteracy Rate:84%Religion: Roman Catholic (95%)
Salesian Missions in Ecuador are giving the poor valuable resources and support needed to overcome the country's extreme injustice and inequity. The gap between rich and poor is huge: the top 20% receive 50% of the nation's income, while the bottom 20% earn a mere 5%. More than a million children – 18% of the total workforce – must work to support their families. And 26% of the nation's children under age 5 have stunted growth – in some regions, it's as high as 47%.
Featured Mission
Supply Medical Care
Residents of Cuenca now have access to a new Salesian medical center. The facility is staffed by a team of healthcare professionals and features modern equipment for medical examinations and laboratory analysis. The center also includes a pharmacy.
More Missions in Ecuador
Build Schools
Ecuador is one of the most inequitable societies in the world, according to UNICEF. The richest 20% of the population receives almost 50% of the national income, while the poorest 20% receives only 5%.
For poor, rural and indigenous children, education provides the best opportunity for finding meaningful employment – therefore reducing inequities.
At one Salesian Missions school – the Center for the Young Worker – students study auto mechanics, woodworking, baking, beauty care and cooking. It is a community effort as parents help provide meals to the students, and weekend student volunteers help build houses for the families who have come into the city looking for work. Approximately half of the students come to the Center without an elementary education – and not only do 85% finish elementary or middle school but 64% continue to study after they have completed their training.
Throughout Ecuador, children and adolescents find the opportunity of education at Salesian Missions facilities.
Teach Agriculture Skills
Through a microfinance credit program from Salesian Missions, indigenous and rural populations have access to funds for agricultural and micro-business activities. Currently, 12,000 people are taking advantage of this opportunity in 85 different communities.
Give Hope to Street Children
At Salesian Missions "Project for Street Children" sites throughout the country, vulnerable and at-risk children gain an all-around education that allows them to take the lead in developing their own skills and potential. The project uses an active presence on the streets, technical training and schools and the support of families and communities that care for the boys and their rehabilitation. Specialized programs for youth in need include: prevention of addiction and care for addicts, rehabilitation of youth gang members, and hostels that provide an alternative to living on the street. Thousands of children and adolescents are supported each year.

|"As a Christian nurse working in mental health, I have seen that psychology alone does not usually bring total healing. The Christ-centered teaching of the Formational Prayer Seminar is helping me understand how the Holy Spirit works through the caregiver to bring inner healing, the missing piece in my work."
- Eleanor Poe, RN
|"The Formational Prayer Seminar is an insightful and life-giving opportunity for training in healing those with wounded hearts. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Wardle for his open and honest approach blending sound psychology and biblical Truth."
- Pastor Thom Gardner
|"The Formational Prayer Seminar training that we received has resulted in significant personal growth while equipping us to greater fruit in our ministry with others."
- John & Kathy Brubaker
|"The Formational Prayer Seminar has opened new doors for me, showing me how the Holy Spirit desires to meet with us and bring us complete healing in every area of our lives!"
- Pastor Brian Diffenderfer
|"The Formational Prayer Seminar profoundly impacted me both personally and professionally. My relationship with Jesus was deepened immensely during the intense prayer times. During those four days I drank in the powerful moving of the Holy Spirit. This greater intimacy with Christ spilled over naturally into my counseling profession as I continue to bring an awakened spirit to my sessions with the hurting people to which I minister."
- Donna Thomas, D.Min., L.P.C.C
|"I believe Formational Prayer is the most effective method for helping hurting people allow the Holy Spirit to bring them into true transformation and empowerment. Upon completion of Dr. Terry Wardle's seminar, I began to see the clients in my practice receive the same incredible healing power that I am so grateful to have experienced first hand."
- Carol M. Young, M.A.P.C.
|"So many things that I have known and believed in my head have finally penetrated my heart. "
- Anonymous Retreat Participant
|"There are pivotal events in one's life that truly change a person and the Formational Prayer Seminar has been such an event in my life. In my work, people trust me to enter the private and pain-filled parts of their lives but I no longer enter those sacred chambers alone. Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, I am able to bring Jesus to hurting and wounded people and through His presence they find healing.
As a result of this seminar I am on a journey, an exciting journey. I am learning how to allow the Holy Spirit to live and work through me and I am being blessed in the process. This seminar has helped me realize God's true purpose for my life and I am filled with the joy of His presence. "
- L. Ann Hamel, Ph.D.
|"The Essentials was truly a transformational experience for me. The concepts that I learned are far more than merely information – something to be filed away and forgotten. I encountered God in the classroom, in the chapel, and during private ministry time. These encounters were episodic in nature and have now become an intricate part of the overall narrative of my life! I have already incorporated and integrated much of what I learned and experienced into my ministry context and I intend to continue doing so. Thanks to everyone who took part in making it happen."
- Jeffery L Caldwell
|"For me the essense of the workshop was the fact that it dealt with seminal principles blending a secular curricular approach with the spiritual components that glue everything together. So often when we are dealing with anxiety and dysfunction, we get one approach or the other, but not both. I enjoyed the seminar thoroughly. "
- Ken Packard
|"The attention to group dynamics in lecture was priceless. It was very practical, and equipped well ("This is how you do it!"). The balance between small group work and the lectures was just right. Thank you for passing on the precious deposit placed within you, and doing it in such a personal way. We are so grateful. The group leaders were perceptive, skillful, and empathic…what rich times of worship and healing we experienced together."
- Small Group Seminar attendee
|"I attended the Why Leaders Lose Heart seminar on March 24-28, 2014. The seminar gave me hope that obstacles and barriers that keep us from truly connecting with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, can be eliminated or at least minimized. If you have the desire to be cleaned up from the inside out, attending this seminar is a must!"
- Mark
|"At this stage of the journey, I attended the Why Leaders Lose Heart training to complete CEU's and to gain some tools to share with staff and young pastors that I meet with. What a shock to have a life and ministry transforming personal experience."
- Scott
|"This seminar [Why Leaders Lose Heart] is not just for those hanging by a thread, but for me; it gave me the skills to identify the areas of my life, my ministry, and my soul that I need to continually care for to be certain I don't lose heart and remain passionate and excited about the Calling God has given me. "
- Mike C.
|"This seminar [Why Leaders Lose Heart] is a must for the pastor or leader who wants to recapture the joy of their calling and continue in that joy for the long haul. "
- Jeff K.
|"The Why Leaders Lose Heart experience is an excellent preventive measure. This is like an immunization against losing heart, and the resources provided I have returned to repeatedly. I believe that any follower of Jesus who leads in any capacity whatsoever would benefit greatly from this seminar."
- Michelle Dayton, MD

Motherwell manager Stuart McCall has played down reports linking him with a return to Sheffield United as manager.
McCall has recently signed a new two-year contract at Fir Park and said there had been no contact from the npower League One club, who sacked Danny Wilson two weeks ago before appointing Chris Morgan until the end of the season.
McCall added on ESPN: "I think it only comes from the fact I had five great years at Sheffield United. It's a smashing club but I'm certainly enjoying my time at Motherwell. They are in the play-offs and they have got a great chance of getting up and hopefully they do."
Former Blades player and coach McCall is on the verge of leading Motherwell to runners-up spot in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League after taking them to the Scottish Cup final and Champions League qualifiers in his first 18 months in charge.

The action research model has workers or researchers learn and develop their skills while engaged in specific tasks, identify a problem and strategize and implement solutions. Afterward, group members analyze the entire process for more in-depth developments of their skills and knowledge.Continue Reading
Action research is also known as participatory research because researchers or workers are learning and analyzing while doing. The process begins with identifying or diagnosing a problem or issue. After this step, the members working on the problem begin the procedure of action planning, which involves coming up with possible options or ways to address the problem. This involves direct research on the issue, such as interviews and analyses of discussions. This step is followed by taking a specific action course chosen by the group and evaluating the results of such action. The results are evaluated with the same focus as was used in the original analyses of the problem and possible solution.
This final step is crucial to the action research model because any lessons learned can be used in any other the steps using the same procedure in future projects. The main aspects of the model are reflexive and dialectical critique, along with a pattern that leads theory to practice to transformation. After the transformation, the entire process is analyzed to enhance theoretical knowledge.Learn more about Marketing & Sales

Many people need to take a language proficiency exam for various reasons. One of the most common questions is which test to take. Many universities and colleges offer their own tests, yet the IELTS and TOEFL are generally accepted everywhere and are the most popular and have the most practice material available.
If your choice comes down to these two tests, here are some of the major differences that might help you decide which test is right for you. Keep in mind that much of the decision depends on your personal strengths and weaknesses. For example, if spelling is a trouble area for you, then the TOEFL might be a better choice. If you type very slowly and with many mistakes, IELTS might be the better choice. Know yourself as a test taker when looking at the following information.
Based on research conducted by ETS (http://www.ets.org/toefl/institutions/scores/compare/), comparative scores are as follows:
|Pen and paper test: requires neat handwriting
|Computer-based test: requires good typing skills and basic computer knowledge
|Listening section involves different accents (UK, Australia, North America)
|Listening section is mostly North American accents
|Four standard components: listening, reading, writing, speaking
|All four components, yet they are integrated: listening and reading and writing (writing section); reading and listening and speaking (speaking section)
|Test is about 3 hours long. However, once the written section is completed, you will have to wait from 10 minutes to 4 hours to do the speaking section. In some test centers you may need to return the following day to complete the speaking section
|Test is about 4 hours long. Once the test is completed, you are done
|Every test taker writes for the same length of time, and answers the same number of questions
|TOEFL experiments with future questions on the test takers. Some students will have longer listening or reading sections than others
|IELTS Listening
|TOEFL Listening
|You will be required to listen and complete tasks at the same time. There are four parts: dialogue, monologue, dialogue, monologue. There are various question types that include reading. At the end of the section you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. SPELLING COUNTS!
|You will listen to lectures and conversations. You must take notes as you listen because the listening is not repeated. After the listening is done, you will be given questions to answer about what you heard. The questions will be mostly multiple choice.
|Approximately 40 minutes long
|60-90 minutes, depending on whether you get the experimental questions.
|Mostly formal language
|Academic as well as informal language
|IELTS Reading
|TOEFL Reading
|Three 20-minute passages (60 mins)
|Three to four 20-minute passages (60-80 mins)

Comments about Arthur Clement Hilton
I've really done enough of sums,
I've done so very many,
That now instead of doing sum
I'd rather not do any.
I've toiled until my fingers are
With writing out of joint;
And even now of Decimals
I cannot see the point.
Subtraction to my weary mind
Brings nothing but distraction,
And vulgar and improper I
Consider every fraction.
"Practice makes perfect," so they say.
It may be true. The fact is
That I unhappily am not
Yet perfect in my Practice.

A Muggle's Guide to Tail Call Optimization
by Danny Guinther
Submitted for your approval: a circle of torment unchronicled by the poets of old, a terror at the heart of many a horror story: SystemStackError: stack level too deep Tremble no more! Conquer the well of eternity! Behold the secrets of tail recursion and tail call optimization in Ruby! Witness the metamorphosis of a simple function as we explore the hidden power of tail call optimization buried deep within the Ruby VM! Follow the transformation to the revelation of tail call optimization's most ghastly secret: in many ways it's really just a special type of loop construct! The horror!
