International Microfinance Project in Tanzania
- Placement location: Arusha
- Role: To work alongside the Projects Abroad team helping developing business plans with local groups
- Business Sector: Microfinance
- Requirements: None
- Accommodation: Host families
- Length of placement: From 2 weeks
- Start dates: Flexible
The Projects Abroad Microfinance project in Tanzania aims to provide vulnerable individuals and groups with small loans. Over time and with guidance, they will reimburse these loans. Following complete reimbursement, new candidates will then be selected.
There are many vulnerable groups in Tanzania who are seeking a way to empower themselves. Projects Abroad are targeting specific groups in need of help and provide funding and training to give them the skills and financial help needed to start a business. This will enable them to secure a sustainable future for themselves through small scale entrepreneurship.
Microfinance Internships with Projects Abroad in Tanzania
On this project you will work in the Projects Abroad Microfinance office in Arusha alongside a dedicated local team helping to ensure that the individuals and groups taking part are given a chance to make a future for themselves.
On a daily basis you will be involved in a wide variety of tasks including the following:
- reading through business plans
- developing marketing strategies
- managing loan accounts
- monitoring the targeted individuals and groups who have already received loans
- conducting weekly workshops
- providing general business guidance, and support.
If you think you would be able to help the most by focusing on a particular area please let us know when you apply.
Helping small businesses
Recent small businesses that interns have been working with include rearing chickens and making and selling jewelry.
By joining this project you will gain a unique insight into the process of developing small businesses in a foreign country. You will also see how micro-credit can help disadvantaged people find their way out of poverty and become self-supporting and independent. You will spend time in a completely new environment, learning about a different culture and way of life. It will be a rewarding and challenging experience.
Following the first year anniversary of this project, the business groups we have been working with completed a feedback survey.
Did you know? Tanzania's poverty rate fell from 60% in 2007 to 47% in 2016, and their political stability remains the cornerstone for further economic improvement.
The Microfinance project runs all year round so you can join us at any time. You do not need any prior experience but it is important that you have an interest in this area. It is also important that you should be flexible, communicate well, and be willing to learn. It would also be useful for you to take an additional Swahili Language Course, either before or during the project so that you become familiar with the local Tanzanian language which is widely spoken in the communities you will be working with.
You can join the Microfinance project in Tanzania for two or three weeks if you don't have time to join us for four weeks or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteering for both the host community, and the volunteer. Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight, and work intensely within the local community please be aware that you may not be able to make the same impact as someone volunteering for a longer period.

If my husband were president, I think I'd have to be exiled to the Kingdom of Bhutan for the duration of his tenure, because there is no way would I have the self-discipline of Michelle Obama.
It took the First Lady five years to verbally take down a heckler. I'd be in a wrestling match by month two of the primaries. I can just feel it.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Obama was 12 minutes into her speech at a Democratic fundraiser when Ellen Sturtz yelled for the president to "issue an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating against employees based on sexual orientation or gender identity."
Great cause. Lousy timing.
For one thing, the president wasn't giving the speech. He wasn't even in the room. As the wife of a U.S. senator, I am familiar with this brand of lobbying. Some constituents will always see me as a convenient shortcut to the target of their ire. Multiply that number by the population of 50 states and the U.S. territories, and you have an idea of what it's like to be Michelle Obama with the unpaid job of First Lady.
When Sturtz yelled, Mrs. Obama stepped away from the lectern, walked toward her and shut her down.
"Wait, wait, wait. One of things I don't do, that I don't do well, is this," she said, to uproarious approval from those in attendance. (An audio of the moment: http://tinyurl.com/mczexwu).
"Listen to me or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving. You all decide. You have one choice."
Mrs. Obama knew her audience. The donors had paid as much as $10,000 to be there, and they had no patience for Sturtz's plea for "federal equality before I die," which is what she yelled as some of the attendees escorted her out.
There's a sadness to this. Most of the 200 or so donors there likely support Sturtz's cause, as they should. Congress continues to stall the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and LGBT groups are disappointed that the president hasn't issued an executive order to fix it. This matters.
But there's a time and a place, as mothers everywhere say to their children. I wish Mrs. Obama had acknowledged the importance of employment equality for the LGBT community, but I also understand how a person's screaming at you in front of 200 people can kill the mood.

But living longer has special challenges. Because over 75% of the nation's wealth is controlled by seniors, it is vital to help them preserve their assets so that they don't outlive them. Thus, professionals are responding by becoming Certified Senior Advisors (CSAs).
The CSA Designation Program certifies that designees have broad-based knowledge of the health, social and financial issues that are important to the majority of seniors, and recognize the dynamics of these factors in seniors' lives.
Only if you understand what's important to seniors will you gain the essential credibility you need to gain their trust and business. When it comes to providing specific recommendations concerning their nest egg and future, seniors want someone who understands their needs, and you can demonstrate you have this knowledge with the CSA designation.
Highly engaging, educational and interesting, our online course will allow you to:
The web class is 6 months long with 23 recorded course modules that correspond to the CSA textbook and the participant workbook with multiple choice review questions for each chapter. Recorded learning exercises including case studies are provided to supplement students' individual study.
The start date begins when course login information is sent to the student, shortly after purchase. During the entire course period, all students are invited to submit questions to SCSA on any of the course topics and receive an answer back from a topic expert.
You will take your CSA exam at a professional CBT test center. You will receive an email with instructions, including your user ID and password, to access more detailed information online about available test centers and their distance in miles from your zip code, as well as test dates and times, so you can schedule your exam online.
The CSA Course covers topics such as:
The 700-plus page Textbook, Working with Seniors: Health, Financial and Social Issues, is the foundation of the CSA Course. It is an easy-to-use, on-the-job reference guide that you can count on as a valuable resource long after you've earned your designation. Key features include:
With about 300 review questions, the Participant Workbook helps candidates integrate the course material and prepare for the CSA exam. Review questions for each chapter consist of key terms and concepts, and multiple-choice items. Answers are provided in the Workbook.
The CSA Course may be taken independently for professional development, or as one of the ways that lead to earning the CSA designation.
CSA Exam Only option: If your current education and/or experience working with seniors meets the CSA eligibility criteria, you may choose the CSA Exam Only path to designation. Contact us for more information.
The CSA exam has 150 multiple choice questions, is closed book and proctored. Candidates have 3 hours to complete the exam questions. The passing score is 70% or more correct answers. Candidates take the CSA exam at a professional test center within 90 days of the completion of the entire web class. Two re-tests are available for an additional fee of $85 each, if needed. Candidates must wait at least six weeks in between test sessions. The exam cost is INCLUDED in this package.
For a list of cities with professional test centers, click here. Test centers are added on a regular basis.
Within 24 hours of processing your order, you will receive an email containing your online access instructions. Note: Orders placed on a weekend will be processed the following Monday.
We have complete confidence in the value of the CSA Designation Program because we know it works. You can be confident in it as well. If you aren't satisfied with the CSA Course and Exam package, we will refund your tuition minus an $85 cancellation fee when you return course materials within 30 days of purchase.

Changes before you enter your pregnancy can make you anxious and change you in more than one way; this at times can lead to the dangerous situation of depression. You must be prepared to deal with it.
Exciting as pregnancy is, it is also a complicated phase in a woman's life. As a pregnant woman anxiously waits for the arrival of her baby, innumerable changes in her body bring about anxiety that may lead to depression. If you are pregnant and feeling low, follow the following tips to help you deal with prenatal depression.
When you are pregnant, you will end up asking yourself a number of questions. The problem is not with asking questions but with the struggle that unanswered questions make you go through. Questions such as "will I be a good mother" or "Am I prepared to be a mother just yet?" are likely to keep sprouting, especially during the third trimester. Before you begin to look for answers for this question, understand the fact that pregnancy is a life-changing event and once you are at it, you have to work towards evolving into a new identity.
Right from the time you go through your first ultrasound until your body starts to change, you must hold on to yourself. Weight gain at the time of pregnancy is inevitable and if you have already begun worrying about getting rid of post-pregnancy weight, you must stop thinking so much. You may also sign up for prenatal classes that allow you to take up pregnancy exercises under medical supervision.
When you are pregnant, you would want to talk to someone who could answer your questions and give you a platform to share your experience. If you stay away from your mother, take help of a support group or your husband, who is as concerned about your health and that of the baby as much as you are.
Pregnancy is one phase when the whole world will work towards getting your wishes of eating whatever you like come true. The punch, however, is that you must eat only healthy. Indulge in as many healthy foods as possible without feeling guilty. Should you have any doubts about what kind of foods are pregnancy-friendly, consult a doctor before indulging. Include only healthy fats in your diet such as nuts, fish and olive oil.
Considering that pregnancy is about a lot of rest, entertain yourself by watching happy flicks. Happy movies do not imply that you must watch only baby movies. It is important to pay attention to your lifestyle patterns at the time of pregnancy as studies suggest that a baby's overall growth and development depend on the mother's lifestyle.
It is essential that you enjoy your time as a pregnant woman, the more you think or become anxious, the more depressed you would be.

Britain go for gold after beating new Zealand in the semi-finals
Although the final margin did not reflect the closeness of the contest, Great Britain were deserved winners in a match where New Zealand could not match the slick display they put out in a 4-2 quarterfinal triumph over Australia . The New Zealand goalkeeper got down smartly saving an original penalty corner move, but Danson was on hand to get enough on the ball to score. We're probably going to get some media attention now so we just have to make sure that doesn't interfere with our ...
What we learned from the opening round of the Premier League
Last season's PFA Premier League Player of the Year did back up Ranieri's comments about him being happy enough to stay with the Foxes, but he also made the proviso that there were some clubs that he would find it very hard to turn down. After each of their previous two opening day defeats, however, they responded with a victory. With Arsenal conceding four goals at home and Liverpool nearly slipping up after going three goals clear, the gaping holes in both sides were laid bare.
Upset for Leicester, Tottenham draws as EPL season starts

Jose Mourinho on the win and the "phenomenal" Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Following his strike at Bournemouth, he has scored on his debuts in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

Bolt says athletics needs him to win at Rio Olympics
Typical of an opening day in the 100, there were no real surprises. World record holder Bolt clocked a time of 10.07 seconds to qualify for the semi-finals, the fourth fastest overall. "I'm not used to running this early [in the day] at any championship", said Bolt. For the first time since 1996, the Olympic regatta was not held in a purpose-built lake, but a natural lagoon that left rowers exposed to the elements in new ways.
Rodgers, Hundley not in uniform Friday. vs. Browns
While it's a fine distinction, Rodgers said that not being able to call a game normally had a larger impact on the Packers offense, which looked sluggish at times a year ago, or at least by their own standards. Wesley College's Joe Callahan started the game, playing in the first half, while Marquise Williams from North Carolina took reps in the second half.
Newly-promoted Hull stun Premier League champions Leicester City
English Premier League champions, Leicester City began the defence of their title with a 2-1 loss to newly promoted Hull City. Robert Snodgrass thumped home a left-footed victor in the 57th minute for Hull after Leicester , who lost only three games last season, failed to clear their lines.
Durant leads United States to 119-62 rout of China in Olympic opener
The men play their first game Saturday against China and the women begin Olympic play Sunday versus Senegal. Durant scored 30 points four years ago in the gold-medal game, when the Americans held off Spain for the championship.

At Least 2 Dead In Louisiana And Mississippi Floods
Edwards spokesman Richard Carbo said the governor returned to Louisiana on Friday because of the flooding. Initially, as flooding news emerged on Friday, CNN reported three deaths.

Pardew: Bolasie's 'heart and soul' no longer with Crystal Palace
The Baggies chief is after five new players in the final two weeks of the transfer window as the club look to finally sell Saido Berahino.

Bolt qualifies for 100m semis
Gatlin, 34, produced the fastest time of the morning, 10.01 as the 2004 champion seeks to become the oldest man to win a medal in the 100m and the first to do so after serving two doping bans. I felt kind of slow. "It's the fact that it's the morning", said Bolt, who was called to the line at 12:42 p.m. He saves his best for prime time, and the rest of the field left the stadium with a bit more than 24 hours to ponder what has not been possible: Beating Bolt at the Olympics.
Barry Bonds ejected as Marlins lose to Giants 1-0
Brandon Crawford provided the big blow by going deep in the fourth inning for his 11th homer of the season. Sure, Samardzija had a 6.30 ERA over his previous 12 starts and served up 16 homers over that span. "That's baseball. Human error is part of the game". Johnson's strikeout got Giants reliever Will Smith out of a two-on, two-out jam, preserving a 1-0 lead.
Carmelo Anthony Scores 31 Points To Lead Team USA

Lilly King shows no sympathy for Russian rival Yulia Efimova
She came to IU having already earned several college credits while she was in high school and now has one of the highest GPAs in her program, he said.

She also posted a video of herself wearing a cropped top revealing the word "Champ" with the caption "Stay positive'".
American Teen Ginny Thrasher Wins First Rio Gold
But USA Shooting, the governing body for the U.S. Olympic shooting team, was not about to let Morgan's utterly absurd diminishment of Thrasher's accomplishment go unanswered. She learned to shoot from her father, who had served in the Air Force. "I heard the cheers and the horns and it was very disturbing", Yi said. "Once you get into the finals, anything can happen".
Lionel Messi overcomes Copa America blues, returns to worldwide football
The Argentina coach said he optimistic about Messi making himself available and that the player seemed to be "very enthusiastic".

Rosie MacLennan wins gold in women's trampoline
To put the success in context: no Brit has qualified for the final much less won a medal. Trampoline made its Olympic debut in Sydney 2000, with competitors bouncing up to heights that can surpass eight metres with just split-seconds to carry out twists, flips and somersaults with fluidity.
Paul Ryan Scores Easy Primary Victory Over GOP Challenger
US House Speaker Paul Ryan beat back a challenge in the Wisconsin Republican primaries on Tuesday (Aug 9), winning a race in which presidential hopeful Donald Trump had praised his populist rival.

NBC analyst criticized over comment about Simone Biles
However, Trautwig retweeted Mingus' tweet, while standing wrong and strong, saying, " They may be mom and dad but they are NOT her parents ", reports USA Today .

Olympics: Gabby Douglas tries to make history
But they were good enough to help Biles conquer an often formidable apparatus, the beam. Biles stuck her two vaults with just a tiny hop, averaging a 16.050 score. Great Britain earned the bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics. She said she had "no regrets for the most part". But Douglas' pain and frustration is Raisman's joy.
LeBron James re-signs with Cavaliers for $100M
Blazers Edge opened up with the possibility of Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love moving to OR to play for the Blazers. James is coming off a legendary NBA Finals.

DeLaet leads and Rose hits ace as golf returns to the Olympics
And some critics are questioning the decision to re-instate golf to the Olympic schedule.

England v Pakistan: Hosts keep winning team for final Test at Oval
England's all-time leading wicket-taker rates the current line-up a better bet for longevity than Andrew Strauss' 2011 table-toppers. Alex Hales, Cook's opening partner, has yet to make a Test century and number four James Vince is still searching for a first fifty at this level.
Game Rewind: USA 119, China 62
Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant return with 10 new players. Those opinions won't change after this performance. While this United States squad is more "B Team" than " Dream Team " - with many top players, including four-time National Basketball Association MVP LeBron James and twice reigning MVP Stephen Curry, opting out - they remain the heavy favorites.
Jay Pharoah, Taran Killam exiting 'Saturday Night Live'
Trump himself praised Hammond's work: "I thought Darrell was fantastic ... people really related to that", Trump said. He also has a foothold on a post-SNL career, which includes directing the upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy Why We're Killing Gunther .

EMMARIE is a great artist with style. She carries style in her appearance, performances and music. Her style truly stands out in her imagination for writing songs. Her first single, "Fighting Dragons" is a great example of that. This is an amazing song very well written and the music is very catchy. She said, creating this song was quite an adventure. She had many ideas in her original lyrics, but she was thinking about how people face challenges everyday such as bullying or health issues, so she wanted to give them a voice to know that we all have inner strength to deal with our life's battles. EMMARIE made some revisions to her lyrics and "Fighting Dragons" emerged. She says that everyone can relate to fairytales and everyone loves happy endings, and that became the imagery for her message. The music video was a lot of fun for her, they found a local castle and videoed in different locations. She felt the location really brought her story to life. That was a perfect location for this video, giving the title you couldn't get a better location. This is a very special song for her because it is her first. How ever she is currently in the process of writing more songs.
EMMARIE got an early start in her career by getting involved with a drama program when she was eight. This drama group would go around to local fairs and perform skits, songs and dance routines. The big turning point for her was when she performed as Grizabella in Cats and sang, "Memory" this is when she realized that this was her destiny. Since then she has had the pleasure of performing at the Apollo in New Your City. She loved this because she knew that Michael Jackson and so many other famous artists performed there. EMMAIRE also had the opportunity to perform at the House Of Blues in Boston. She said, it was a very cool place.
EMMAIRE is a girl that was born for the stage. When performing live she loves to get the crowd involved and try and make them a part of her performance. She does work very hard to achieve her goals in music, such as working on vocal skills and keeping her dreams a live. One of these dreams she has is to perform Time Square on New Years Eve. With the progress she is making she has a great chance of making that dream. EMMARIE is on her single release tour right now covering four states.
She is truly a wonderful girl that enjoys a lot of good things in life. EMMARIE loves science, joking around and musical theater. She does want to give back to her community and performs charitable events when ever possible.

I sunk all my indexed positions without ever knowing about it until two weeks had past. No worries, because I spent half the night fixing it. Now I have to wait for about 7 to 10 days. I documented my errors and took pictures of everything so I could do a proper write up and pass it on to all fellow Wordpress bloggers, "What they never taught you at Wordpress.org!" It's a good thing it's a test blog, but in two weeks it wil be monetized, so if you are tinkering around attempting to power up your Wordpress Blog, it's worth the five minutes to read and see with pictures how not to do to shoot yourself in the foot. Which is what I did, because of not reading between the lines. And you will also learn how to decide which way you should publish your content. This only applies to Wordpress Bloggers. Now you're informed!

Scott Listfield's wandering astronaut, based on Stanley Kuprick's 2001 'A Space Odyssey,' explores the present rather than outer space.
The artist's oil paintings are mostly of this adventurous astronaut or dinosaurs. His entire portfolio is oddly adorable. Scott explicitly includes elements of the pop culture in all of his illustrations. To be completely frank, the earth looks much more interesting than the moon or any other planet will ever be. Beautiful colors and products of genius spread all over the surface, the earth seems like a worthwhile visit from for any outer space creature.
Burger King, Jurassic Park, Mario, Las Vegas and many more pop culture references are integrated in the artist's illustrations. While doing a tour of the United States, little does the astronaut knows that he is really touring around the heart of television.

None of our formulas are ever tested on animals, all of our products are vegan (or vegetarian when we use cruelty-free honey) and we financially donate to many animal charities. As animal welfare advocates, we choose not to sell our products in China, where animal testing is required.
Some people may not realize that many makeup brushes are made from animal fur (such as sable, squirrel, mink, rabbit, dog) and that the animals are actually harmed in the process which is why we use only synthetic, antibacterial fibers. 100% Pure brushes are made of the highest quality of synthetic fibers, making the brushes soft, clean, durable, and longer lasting than animal fur brushes. This video (WARNING: graphic material) shows the suffering that animals endure while their fur is harvested.

The Tuscaloosa hearing at the University of Alabama was the third of five hearings around the state. Last month, more than 700 people attended a previous hearing in Mobile with many expressing anger over the price of their property insurance.
John Caylor, a member of the commission representing northern Alabama, expressed the importance of having better turnouts at the hearings.
"We do need to hear the public's input. This is the public's government, and we are to respond as best we can to the public's views," Caylor said.
One person who did speak Monday was Johnny Chaney of Fairhope. He dropped homeowners insurance in 2005 when his annual premium was $2,400, he said, because he hadn't had much damage from past storms and decided it was too expensive to keep. However, now that his home is paid for, he worries about what could happen if a storm does hit his house sometime in the future.
"I'm at the mercy of FEMA if a storm does come through and destroys my home," Chaney said.
Alabama's Affordable Homeowners Insurance Commission was set up by Gov. Robert Bentley to study and improve Alabama's homeowners' insurance market.
The 31-person commission, chaired by Baldwin County Probate Judge Tim Russell, is comprised of insurance company representatives, state legislators, community members and others from across Alabama. At each hearing, members listen to the public's concerns regarding the cost of insurance.
The plan is to take what the commission learns from the public and through discussions and make a series of recommendations as to how the Alabama legislature can reform property insurance to make it more affordable. Michelle Kurtz, one of the commission members, said she hopes the outcome of the commission's work will be something that "parallels" what the people feel.
"There should be a binding document--I call it a living document--between this commission and the people," she said in an interview after the hearing.
The commission was originally meant to address the insurance market woes experienced in coastal Alabama, but Bentley expanded the focus to the entire state following the spring tornadoes amid fears that insurance rates could rise and choices decline.

Frost using biomechanics to jump to top of Schwab CupMarch 20, 2013
By Vartan Kupelian, PGATOUR.COM Correspondent
David Frost knows all about wines, and why some get better with age. There is no secret to it. It's about applying certain principles in the proper manner and sequence.
In his search for an age-defying golf game, Frost has adopted the study of biomechanics to improve his health, his swing and his flow. The results speak for themselves. One look at Frost's performance in recent months suggests that it's working just as he hoped.
Frost, one of golf's noted winemakers, won twice last year. He teamed with Michael Allen at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf to win early in the season and went on to enjoy his best season since joining the Champions Tour in 2009. He recorded multiple victories in a season for the first time since 1993 on the PGA TOUR and had his highest finish on the money list (ninth) in his three full seasons on the Champions Tour.
Frost finished the year on a roll. A ninth-place finish at Rock Barn was followed by victory at the AT&T Championship and a T10 at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. On the European Senior Tour, he won the MCB Tour Championship in Mauritius in December.
This year, he lost a playoff to John Cook in Hawaii to open the season and immediately added a pair of top 10s at Allianz and ACE Group. Those were followed by last week's 5-stroke victory at the Toshiba Classic, his third victory in seven starts worldwide.
Frost works with a German golf professional, Christian Neumaier, on the biomechanical side of golf.
"I met him doing the BMW in Munich in 2007, when I joined the European Tour," Frost said. "I've really enjoyed the biomechanical part. It's given me a lot more flow to the game. I think what we've been working on since '07 has just come through now, end of last year.
"It was something I was missing. It's made me a lot more comfortable through the golf ball, something that I've always been hesitant with … I fought the flow of my body and my arms through the ball and turning with the ball. We were always taught to stay behind the ball. It's just something that's clicked and I've struck the ball very consistently in the last six months."
Neumaier is at Beuerberg Golf Club, a facility located just south of Munich, Germany.
"It's very cold in the winter," Frost said. "He comes over to Florida, came with me in January. I understand the concept and I try to keep it as simple as possible.
Neumaier, in an email, said for golfers it is "very important to understand all the functions of the single body parts to optimize their game.
"So we have left aside all the motions and perceptions that are harder to steer and (instead) have placed special emphasis on the really important functions one needs for more control of the club face, especially through the impact zone," Neumaier said.
"David`s awareness for the club has increased dramatically and that`s the key to being in control of the club and the club face."
In his book, "Golf – (Not) a Sport Like Any Other", soon to be available in English, Neumaier details the functions and biomechanics in golf.
Biomechanics is the application, to the human biological system, of principles of mechanical engineering. Essentially, that means how forces, both internal and external, combine to determine body movements. It identifies how those forces can influence the health of the body, whether it's allowing humans to perform at peak levels or causing injuries. As Frost described, it's about "flow."
Frost said it has "definitely" helped him become a lot more relaxed.
"I don't feel that I need to be aggressive out there," he said. "I feel relaxed and I can let the tournament play and take care of the flight of the golf ball. And I'm not trying to be cocky. I feel a lot more relaxed. I don't feel too much pressure in my game, and it allows me a lot more freedom. And so what if I hit one or two bad shots? I feel that things are quite in place and until things really go wrong, then I'll start worrying."
It helps the relaxation quotient when the swing is in sync, and right now Frost's game is in full flight.
"I'm just going by the way I'm striking the golf ball," he said. "That's all I can control.
And then if someone beats me, if 10 guys beat me, so be it. I can only control what I am doing. I feel I'm doing a good job, just staying within myself and hitting the fairways and trying to hit the greens, not be too smart out there and just keep things as simple as possible."
"Obviously it's something I've worked very hard towards. I've worked very hard on my game the last four, five years, didn't think it would come that easy, just try and play boring golf, hit it in the middle of the greens."
In 1994, Frost, a native of Capetown, South Africa, established a 300-acre vineyard in the heart of wine-producing region of his native country. David Frost Wines currently produce 7,000 cases of merlot, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon.

A 29-year-old Mount Prospect father has been charged in the beating of his 5-month-old boy and will face more serious charges if the infant dies, authorities said today.
Ibrahim Kibayasi, of the 1700 block of Sable Lane in the northwestern suburb, was charged with aggravated battery of a child, a Class X felony. On Monday, his bond was set at $2 million, police said.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services notified Mount Prospect police Friday that the child was brought to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge by fire department paramedics "for injuries consistent with physical abuse associated with shaken baby syndrome," police said in a news release.
The infant remains in critical condition.
Police described Kibayasi as the child's biological father. The mother was not charged.
Kibayasi's' next court date is Wednesday.

Setting is an important component of fiction. Graham Greene's seedy tropical bars, John Steinbeck's Oklahoma dust bowl, Candace Bushnell's trendy, young New York are all so visually realized that they practically become characters in their own right, contributing vivid imagery and affecting the plot. But the right setting can do even more. It can build characterization.
Two types of settings are useful in helping us understand your character: the place he lives now and the place he grew up.
If your character chose his current setting, that tells us something about his tastes and values. The man who chooses the energetic grittiness of Manhattan is a different person from the man who chooses life in a small Midwestern town. The New Yorker may be ambitious, want more anonymity or seek greater sophistication. The choice of the city life won't, by itself, tell us which of these is truebut it'll give us a start on understanding him.
The same is true of the more intimate setting of a character's home. What kind of neighborhood has he selected? With what has he chosen to furnish and decorate his dwelling place? Walls of bookshelves? Expensive antiques? Salvation Army left-overs? Nothing except what was already there? Such choices are revealing of basic personality.
Of course, many people don't choose their city or apartment. They live in New York or Houston because that's where their jobs are and in their current dwellings because that's what they can afford. Here's where a character's attitude becomes important.
Does your protagonist like New York? His apartment? Why or why not? A great deal of characterization can be conveyed by a character's response to setting. For example, Gustave Flaubert's character Emma Bovary in Madame Bovary laments her life in the stifling provincial town of Tostes:
But it was above all the meal times that were unbearable to her, in this small room on the ground floor, with its smoking stove, its creaking door, its walls that sweated, the damp pavement; all the bitterness of life seemed served up on her plate, and with the smoke of the boiled beef there rose from her secret soul waves of nauseous disgust.
This tells us at least as much about Emma as about Tostes.
Although not chosen directly by any of us, a childhood home can still convey a great deal about a character. This is most usable if your character still lives at, or near, wherever he grew up, as is true of the three sisters of Jane Smiley's prize-winning novel A Thousand Acres. Ginny, the narrator, is shaped by, warped by and ultimately destroyed by the farms of the Midwest. Without this setting, nothing in the novel could've happened at all.
A second way to use a childhood setting is to have your character revisit it as an adult. This allows you to both demonstrate what shaped her values and show us how she feels about that place now. Two contemporary novels that have used this structure with great success are Rebecca Wells' Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and John Grisham's The Summons. In both, childhood settings become the means to resolve the conflicts of the past.
To decide which setting is best for your story, ask yourself these questions:
Will my plot allow my character to choose his home and locale?
If so, what kind of place would he choose to live?
Where did he come from? Do I want to use that place as a setting?
How does he feel about his current setting, regardless of whether he chose it or has been forced into it? Pleased? Restless? Resigned? Bitter?
Once you've chosen your setting, you need to describe it for your readers. Simply naming the place"He moved to New York last year"won't do the job. You need to let us experience New York as the character experiences it.
The key is to find the right details. More important than accuracy is individual perception. What does your partic-ular character notice about New York? How does he react to what he notices? Some possibilities:
He moves in rich social circles, noticing details of East Side apartmentsand admires their taste and beauty.
He moves in rich social circles, noticing details of East Side apartmentsand despises them for what he considers ostentatious parasitism.
She frequents a tiny Greek restaurant on the upper West Sideand loves its boisterous exoticism.
She frequents a tiny Greek restaurant on the upper West Sideand dislikes its greasy smell and bland food, but it's convenient and cheap, and she's broke.
He walks in Central Park, fearful of getting mugged.
He walks in Central Park, loving the rich tapestry of passing strangers.
You get the idea. Pick specific, concrete details of setting and let us know how your protagonist interprets them. Look again at that brief excerpt from Madame Bovary. Flaubert doesn't write, "Emma hated the drab poverty of her setting." No, Flaubert uses tangible details: smoking stove, creaking door, walls that sweat, smoke from boiled beef. The details are drabat least as perceived by Emma. To her husband, Charles, in contrast, they're cozy.
Where you describe your setting is almost as important as how. Long, detailed descriptions of place in a book's opening pages worked in the 19th century, but today's readers may be less patient. Modern novelists should consider dumping long, descriptive openings.
You do, however, need to get to your particular slant on the character's chosen setting fairly early. Otherwise the reader may substitute whatever impressions or stereotypes she already possesses about the city. That can make it harder to allow her to see it through your character's eyes.
The solution is to break up your description into short burstsa paragraph here, a sentence there, a phrase combined with a small action: "She crossed Broadway at the light, ignoring the beggar crouched patiently on the sidewalk." Intersperse these bits of description throughout an opening scene in which characters are interacting, or are trying to accomplish something. You'll gain all the advantages of a well-chosen setting without slowing down the action.
Setting matters. Make yours work for your story by including details that show us, rather than tell us, what key characters are like. Create the perfect setting, and you're halfway to effective characterization.

Senator Rick Santorum and Congressman Darrell Issa are among the guests on today's program. Transcripts of their interviews will be posted here when available.
I will discuss the outrageous assault on religious liberty launched by the president on every Catholic institution in the country with both men, and I will also be asking my callers why Mitt Romney's statement on "the very poor" –a contrived controversy— got so much more attention than the very real outrage that is President Obama's demand that every Catholic institution shut down or buckle under to the pro-choice absolutists in charge of his policy in this area. For background on the Obama demand, see Los Angeles Archbishop Gomez's First Things article or Phoenix Bishop Olmsted's letter on the subject or Philadelphia Archbishop Chaput's comments on the new regulations.
The Santorum transcript:
HH: So pleased to begin this hour with Rick Santorum, candidate for the presidency of the United States, former United States Senator, and proud father of Bella. Rick Santorum, welcome back. I think the happiest moment last night is when you got up in front of the Nevada audience, and I was watching live on CNN, and announced that Bella was coming home from the hospital today. Has that happened?
RS: You know what? I just got out of a meeting. She was scheduled to come home later this afternoon, but there's a, they may, because of some piece of equipment that we need to help her at night, hasn't arrived yet from the home health care company, so she may have to stay an extra night. But she's only staying there because of equipment, not because of her health.
HH: Well, Senator Santorum, our prayers continue to be with you and your family and with Bella. You know what's interesting about this entire week, it's not interesting to you, it's drama to you and to everyone who loves you. But I think you're illustrating that for many Americans, every single day is a day living in the American health care system, and that's why we've got to preserve it.
RS: No, it's true. I look at the American health care system, and I have always said one of the reasons I decided to run for president was because of Obamacare, and because of the government taking over health care. And I have stories from Canada and from Europe of children like my daughter, who simply are refused care because they just don't see them as a life worth living, not a good use of government dollars, because she won't be able to give back anything economically to the country. And that's a tragedy. It's a devaluing of human life. And I see that in our current health care system. [# More #]
HH: So Senator Santorum, from the health care system, let's move backwards a bit to the campaign. Where do you see it right now in terms of your ability to move forward against Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich?
RS: You know, I actually feel pretty good. I think what happened in Florida was a signal. And as you know, Hugh, less people turned out in Florida in this election than four years ago. And that's not a good sign. The two people who were actively campaigning in Florida were throwing mud and everything at each other obviously did not inspire a lot of folks to come out and support them. And even though Governor Romney had a good win, you know, it showed that these are not candidates that are going to rally the Republican base. And you saw from Speaker Gingrich someone who came in with a big lead.
HH: So Senator Santorum, resetting here with the cell phone issues, you did not do great in Florida last night. How do you see this campaign shaping up vis-?-vis Mitt Romney and yourself, Newt having taken it really on the chin last night?
RS: Yeah, I think that we feel very good. I mean, we've been doing some polling out here in Colorado, and our numbers are very strong. I don't know if you saw the numbers out of Missouri. We're leading Governor Romney in Missouri, we're ahead of him in Ohio. You know, I think people are looking at the race and seeing that we don't want a candidate that's going to make, that's going to have our candidate be the issue. We want Barack Obama to be the issue. We're looking for someone who has a strong, consistent message, someone who's got an appeal to the Reagan Democrats that we need to win this election in Ohio, and in Michigan, and in Pennsylvania. And I think as time goes on, and people look at the weakness of both candidates, both Governor Romney and Newt Gingrich, that they're going to coalesce around me. Governor Romney's biggest pitch to Republican primary voters are I've got the money and I've got the organization, I can win. But you know as well as I do, Hugh. He's not going to have the money in a general election. Barack Obama's going to have more money, and he's going to have better organization. We'd better have better ideas and a better candidate that's a clear contrast, or we're not going to win. And he may have enough money to win the primary, but we're not interested in winning the primary. We're interested in beating Barack Obama. And that means we need a strong candidate against Obama who's going to have him be the issue and all of his liberal failed policies.
HH: Now Rick Santorum, obviously you do need money to win against Romney. www.ricksantorum.com is running a money bomb. Have donations fallen off? Or are they continuing to be as strong as they have been since Iowa?
RS: Hugh, we had our best day yesterday. I mean, that's almost remarkable to report.
HH: That is.
RS: But we raised a quarter of a million dollars yesterday. I mean, that's just one of the really encouraging signs. And the neat thing was it was the smallest per dollar donation of any day we've had. So we had the biggest number of people contribute a huge amount of money for us. And I haven't checked since about 9:00 this morning, but we had $60,000 dollars as of 9:00 this morning. So I think people are realizing, and they're trying to say you know, Rick, stay in the race, hang in there. There's a lot of other states that aren't going to cost $20 million dollars to compete against, that are strong, principled conservatives. And we're going to come out here and rally around you. And Newt's had his opportunity, and now it's time to find someone who can really defeat Romney head to head.
HH: Should Newt Gingrich bow out, Rick Santorum?
RS: I'm never going to call anybody to bow out of any race. I mean, that's, you know, Newt feels just like I do, that this is an important election, and he's getting in there and mixing it up as best he can. All I can say is if you look at the Florida vote, and you look at the analysis, had Newt dropped out of the race, all of his vote, almost all of it, would have gone to me. And if I dropped out of the race, almost all of it would have gone to Romney. So that just tells you that Newt, because he was the candidate that had the best chance of beating Romney, was getting a lot of votes not necessarily because of Newt, but because it was the anti-Romney vote. I think when we can solidify the position of being the anti-Romney candidate that can win, we'll get not only the votes that may have gone to Romney, but we'll get the votes that are clearly against him.
HH: Now I want to talk to you about two substantive issues, Senator Santorum. The first are these new regulations from the Obama administration. I read the letter from Archbishop Olmstead of Phoenix on the air. Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles has written a new article in First Things. It's shocking, actually, what's going on. Should this be a centerpiece of whoever the nominee's campaign is?
RS: I talked about it in every speech I've given today. And here's what I said, though, Hugh. I said that I took issue with the Catholic Bishops Conference, because Hugh, you may remember, they embraced Obamacare.
HH: Yes.
RS: They embraced it and said…here's what I said to them. Be careful when you have government saying that they can give you rights, that you have a right to health care, and government's going to give you something, because once you are now dependant on government, they, not only can they take that right away, they can tell you how to exercise that right, and you can either like it or not. And that's the problem. That's what the Catholic Bishops Conference didn't get, that there's no free lunch here, folks. If you're going to give people secular power, then they're going to use it in a secular fashion. And that's why, you know, I hate to say it, but you know, you had it coming. And it's time to wake up and realize that government isn't the answer to the social ills. It's people of faith, and it's families, and it's communities, and it's charities that need to do this as it has in America so successfully for so long.
HH: Rick Santorum, what do you advise Catholic hospitals, Catholic colleges, Catholic…the centers of poverty assistance, the adoption agencies? What do you advise them to do in the face of, as Archbishop Olmstead said, we cannot comply with this unjust law?
RS: Civil disobedience. This will not stand. There's no way they can make this stand. The Supreme Court, eventually, this thing's going to get to the Supreme Court just like the ministerial hiring issue that was just decided by the Supreme Court the other day. And it was a 9-0 decision that said the Obama administration can't roll over people of faith when it comes to hiring. Yet in the face of that decision, this radical, secular government of Barack Obama continues to have faith be the least important of the 1st Amendment. And I just think they fight. They fight in the courts, and they fight by civil disobedience, and go to war with the federal government over this one.
HH: Now Rick Santorum, later in the program, I'm talking with Frank Gaffney about a story that didn't get much play. General Jerry Boykin, a great America, was dis-invited, or was actually asked by West Point to withdraw from a prayer breakfast there after opposition surfaced from CAIR. This is going on all over the country. Isn't this…I'm actually shocked West Point did this. What's your reaction to that?
RS: Well, on the USS Yorktown in Charleston harbor, Jerry Boykin endorsed me for president.
HH: Oh, I didn't know that.
RS: How about that?
HH: Yeah.
RS: So I'm very proud of having his endorsement. This is a man who has spoken clearly, concisely about the threat of radical Islam. And I am not surprised given this administration who has sanitized every reference to Islam or Muslim out of every Defense Department document when it comes to the threat assessment against this country, that you would see this type of behavior from a government that is in denial as to who we're at war with. And we're not at war with all Muslims. But we are at war with radical Muslims, and we'd better come to grips with that, and be able to deal with it both here at home and overseas.
HH: Last question, Rick Santorum, and direct everyone to the website, www.ricksantorum.com. The F-35 is under attack. It's the frontline aircraft of the next 30 years. What do you think we ought to do with it? How many ought we to build? And what about the Obama administration's attempt to deplane the United States Department of Defense?
RS: It's a budget-driven item. I mean, that's just because the Obama administration has said that they want to continue to hack away at the Defense Department. I've said I'm the only candidate out there that says that I will not cut the Defense Department. We need to have the strongest military in the world. We need to have, we need to spend the money that's necessary to defend our country, and that just doesn't mean aircraft, but as we've seen in several articles recently, having, also includes our Navy, which is getting thinner and thinner and thinner with our capability of being able to patrol the waters around the world. So this is a budget-driven issue, because President Obama wants a welfare state, not a country that is forward leaning, and looking to protect their interests and grow our interests around the world.
HH: Senator Rick Santorum, thanks for joining us. We'll check in with you again next week. www.ricksantorum.com, America, to get all the latest on Senator Santorum's campaign, www.ricksantorum.com.
End of interview.
The Issa transcript:
HH: Joined now by Congressman Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Governmental Affairs. Chairman Issa, you've got Eric Holder coming up tomorrow, I see.
DI: Hugh, we sure do, and we're looking forward to it. He's got, as Lucille Ball said many years ago with Desi Arnaz, you've got some 'splainin' to do. And this really is an opportunity to find out if Eric Holder wants to tell us why he didn't know what it seems like all his lieutenants knew, and why he continues to have, to be surrounded by so many people who have been shown progressively to be more and more and more involved with Fast & Furious at a level that shows they had reckless disregard for the system, and obviously for the life of Brian Terry.
HH: Mr. Chairman, I want to come back to that in just a second. I've got to ask you, actually, beg you to ask Eric Holder about the constitutionality of this administration's assault on the Catholic Church, with its new regulations requiring Catholic institutions to carry coverage for birth control and day after pills, morning after pills. Are you read up on that? I was just talking with Rick Santorum about it. Every bishop in America has weighed in, and Rick just said it's time for civil disobedience. What do you think, Darrell Issa? And will you ask Eric Holder about this?
DI: Well, we will undoubtedly be asking him a number of questions along that line, even though it's not the main thrust, because there has been a systematic attack on faith-based people. As you know, the Catholic Charities, for a long time, was doing a wonderful job of taking care of victims of human trafficking. And that was taken away from them, because they would not explicitly provide abortion services as part of, if you will, taking care of these battered and abused women.
HH: Well, I would just like to know if he signed off on these regs, if the office of Legal Counsel signed off on these new regulations from HHS, because I think it's a fiasco and an assault. Now back to Fast & Furious, Mr. Chairman. There was a DOJ'er who took the 5th.
DI: There was.
HH: Then he quit.
DI: And Mr. Cunningham, we've not finished with him, because we really, truly want to know why he's taking the 5th with us while in fact he was apparently a more cooperating witness with the IG. And it's one of the things we'll be dealing with tomorrow, is we've received many of them around Justice's assistance, 22 interviews, while the Inspector General has had 70. We've received 6,000 pages in total, including a couple of Friday dumps after the lights went out. They have about 80,000. The level of cooperation just simply, you know, it's beyond the absurd that they would say that this is a transparent administration. You couldn't be more opaque than they try to be.
HH: Have you mapped out yet, Mr. Chairman, whether or not you will be offering immunity to those who invoke the 5th so that they are obliged to testify a la the Watergate hearings?
DI: We reserve the right to do that. One of the important things that we've discovered is two of the top people, the most important people that should be held, to be tried in this drug trafficking, have been provided immunity by the administration. So one of the challenges we have is they won't let us have those witnesses who they've already given immunity, who in fact were really much more kingpins. And there may be little or no benefit as to the other criminals directly involved. But as we get to people, like Mr. Cunningham, who have taken the 5th, ultimately it may be in our best interest to grant limited immunity in order to take away this theoretical self-incrimination that he's asserting, because he's asserting it broadly. He doesn't want to answer any of our questions, you know, what is your name, where did you work, did you have lunch. And that's one of those areas in which we want to try to get some truth. But you know, one of the problems is when this administration is gone, there will still be a Justice Department that let this happen, and let it continue happening. And the question is will we make permanent change? And you know, I'm not quick to grant immunity to somebody to further an investigation, but to ensure that we get real change at Justice to protect the 2nd Amendment, to protect the American people, and to protect our partners in Mexico.
HH: Sure.
DI: Remember, more people have died in Mexico by far than north of the border…
HH: Got to have change.
DI: And many of it is done, supplied by Fast & Furious.
HH: Congressman, will you ask Attorney General Holder if he will immediately discharge from the Department of Justice anyone who invokes the 5th Amendment?
DI: We will be. That will be one of the most important questions is, you know, why in fact did Mr. Cunningham remain for a period of time, and was allowed to orderly retire, and without seizing of documents and other things in his possession.
HH: It's outrageous.
DI: We will be asking that.
HH: If someone claims the 5th, they've got to be out on their butt. Congressman, I'm up against a hard break. If I can keep you over the break, I would love to do so.
DI: I'd love to, but give me a rain check, because I've got to go back and continue voting on the House floor.
HH: Mr. Chairman, great to talk to you, good luck tomorrow. We'll follow the hearings with Eric Holder. Read the Michael Walsh piece if you haven't had a chance yet on the email from the deputy attorney general to Eric Holder about the victim of Fast & Furious.
End of interview.

Basically, any game that I try to play runs like garbage. It doesn't matter if its new or old. From Doom 1 to Doom 3, they all run like crap. By crap I mean they will freeze up or jerk around. It's especially evident in first person shoots when lots of stuff is happening at once, or in say an rpg if you click on a menu it will sit there for 10 seconds and the sound will skip repeatedly before it goes to the next menu, and it does this in more than one game as well.
Anyway, I just bought a new video card and upgrade my ram. I figured maybe because I was still using older and slower ram in a newer mobo it would be the problem. Nope, everything still runs like garbage. So I narrowed it down to the motherboard, thats the only thing left that hasn't been replaced. I need you guys to come up with any other advice. like, I'm gonna try a format and a reinstall of windows here and see if that helps.
Do you think it could be the onboard sound somehow interfering?
Also, do you think I should even bother filing my mobo under warranty if it turns out to be the culprit? Some people are telling me that its technically not defective, because the mobo works, it just won't run games. AAAAAAARGH.
If you guys can save me having to go buy a new mobo which I can't afford, I'd love to hear your ideas.

New Orleans VA Hospital Featured by Fast Company
After Hurricane Katrina permanently destroyed the New Orleans VA Hospital in 2005, the community and nation came together to build a replacement medical center. Eleven years later, the hospital is nearly complete and opens to patients on December 5. In Fast Company, NBBJ's Doug Parris and Ryan Hullinger explain how the design protects against future storm damage and also focuses on the specific needs of veterans. The project was also covered by Weather.com, local NPR affiliate WWNO, and Curbed.
