MicroCred Senegal
Microfinance (Social)
A large number of people in Senegal still has no or only limited access to basic financial services. MicroCred Senegal was founded in 2007 to provide more people access to such services.
Triodos Fair Share Fund and Triodos Microfinance Fund have provided a loan to enable MicroCred Senegal to grow.
KEY INDICATORS as of 31 December 2016:
- number of loan clients: 45,048
- percentage female clients: 44%
- percentage rural clients: 0%
- average loan amount: EUR 1,695
- number of savings clients: 194,773
Whoever you are, and wherever you live in the world, you are likely to want permanent access to financial services. Microfinance banks play a crucial role providing access to finance to an increasing number of people living on low-incomes. We finance microfinance institutions because they help to build inclusive financial sectors, where the majority of people have access to financial services, leading to a sustainable basis for balanced social and economic development.

Everyone wants to be good, to be loving, and to be loved in return. We want happy families, happy marriages, and good lives. But some of us were born into families with limited repertoires for healthy attachment, conflict resolution, Basic Trust, and intimacy. Being vulnerable and authentic are not advisable, because anything real can be weaponized to injure and control. If you want to survive, you have to play a role. You have to present a false self. Your mission is to manage the other people's moods. Your job is to keep up appearances. If you want any kind of recognition, affection, or acceptance from them, then you'd better play by the rules.
I was in a marriage that started out on very familiar ground. He treated me the way my parents, especially my more powerful parent, had treated me. Let me say upfront it could have been a wonderful marriage if we had been able to learn the lessons it presented us about where our weak spots were and what we needed to heal from and transform. There were a lot of good times. We were well matched in many ways. But both of us were playing roles we had learned in our families of origin. In my role it was my job: to keep him on an even keel, to take the blame when anything did not go as he preferred, to submit to his will, and not to ever show any anger or ask for any different behavior than what he was doing.
For many years I was perfectly happy to live by these rules. It seemed normal. I had been socialized for just such a role, and I was really good at it. He, for his part, did all the things he thought were required of a good husband and father. He had been harshly criticized and punished as a child, and his family was dismissive and disrespectful of women, so part of his role was to mete out verbal abuse to his wife and daughters, and to be dismissive, judgmental, and disrespectful of them. He once told a counselor he thought this was appropriate. My father didn't respect my mother, and she didn't respect herself. My marriage made perfect sense.
Until it didn't.
Little by little, I began to wake up. I began to be dissatisfied with my role. I didn't want to live inside a false self. I wanted to be safe to be my true self. I wanted my husband to be my ally, partner, companion, friend, advocate. I craved true intimacy. I wanted him to trust me. I wanted him to realize I'm a separate, independent human being and not an extension of him. I wanted him to believe that I was not his adversary, and that by standing up for myself I wasn't rejecting him but instead trying to put our marriage onto sacred ground.
Around that time he started calling me "Sweetie." He also said things like, "You're still my trophy wife." I'm sure he meant well. He was using the old rules about doing a good job playing our roles to try to shore up our crumbling marriage. But I couldn't stand it, and I couldn't figure out how to explain why I couldn't stand it.
We were in counseling. The counselor asked if there were one thing I would like him to do differently. I said to him, "Don't call me Sweetie. Say my name." I think he took it personally that his good intentions behind coming up with a pet name for me were not appreciated. As a matter of fact, I didn't receive it as affection at all. It seemed more like a threat. He was calling me Sweetie because he had finally noticed I'm not "sweet," and I had quit trying to act sweet toward him. To me it sounded like a "change back" message. But I wanted to be Amy. I wanted to hear how he said it. I wanted validation that "Amy" was not reducible to the "wife-and-mother" he thought I was supposed to portray in the drama of his life. I think he did quit calling me Sweetie. But he didn't start saying my name.
He remarried. It seems to be working well for them, and I'm glad. I have only ever wanted the best for him. And I really don't know her. In over twenty years we've had maybe three in-person conversations, and they were not about anything substantive. I suspect "husband's ex wife" is a stereotyped role in her mind, not requiring any actual data or input from the human being who happens to actually be her husband's ex wife. At any rate that would be one explanation of her lack of interest in me.

Lawrence Feldman of GZA Awarded the 2013 NAIOP of MA Government Affairs Award
NORWOOD MA ISSUED DECEMBER 8, 2013.… Larry Feldman, senior principal at GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc., recently received the Government Affairs Award at the annual meeting of NAIOP Massachusetts, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. The award was granted in recognition of his contributions to the development of the Commonwealth's hazardous waste site laws, regulations and policies.
NAIOP Massachusetts, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, is the leading organization for developers, owners and related professionals in office, industrial and mixed-use real estate. The organization advocates for the commercial real estate industry by suggesting innovative approaches to simplify the regulatory process, promote privatization of select governmental functions, and improve the overall economic competitiveness of the Commonwealth.
Feldman was instrumental in the creation of the Commonwealth's privatized cleanup program in 1993, and was an integral part of the committee that established the regulations and guidelines governing the first-in-the-nation privatized system. He was an original member of the LSP Board of Registration, which licenses environmental consultants and disciplines those who violate the standards of the profession, and is also a founding member of the LSPA. He served on the organization's board from 2004 to 2008, including a term as president. This past year he was awarded the LSPA's first lifetime achievement award.
Feldman, who joined GZA in 1979, specializes primarily in the assessment and remediation of sites contaminated by oil and/or hazardous material, and on providing litigation support in cases involving such sites. He has written and spoken often on a variety of environmental issues, including the redevelopment of urban sites and the relevance of site assessments to the legal and real estate communities.
Feldman has achieved numerous industry distinctions. Besides his tenure on the LSP Board of Registration, he currently sits on MassDEP's Hazardous Waste Site Cleanup Advisory Committee, and in the past has served as a Governor's Appointee to the Water Resources Management Act Advisory Committee and the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission, and as an appointee to the Massachusetts Brownfields Advisory Committee. He has also served for many years as co-chair of the Massachusetts Chapter of NAIOP's 21E Subcommittee, and is a three-time recipient of NAIOP's annual Public Affairs Award. He is an associate member of the Boston Bar Association and sits on the Board of EnvironMentors, a Washington, DC-based organization committed to mentoring underserved high school students in environmental sciences and stewardship.
Feldman received a Bachelor of Arts degree in geology from Wesleyan University, and M.A. in geology from Harvard, and his Ph.D. in Geology from Boston University.

Daily Fearcast is now predicting your frightful future
SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – Horror fans around the world can now see what frightful events are in store for them. Daily Fearcast, the best horror-themed horoscope iPhone app on the market, was released today in the App Store. It is available for iPhone and iPod touch for $1.99.
"Now instead of reading my daily horoscope, I read my Daily Fearcast at 10 a.m. every day," said Mike Blakely, a reviewer from Best-Horror-Movies.com. "Having this app has added a bit of horror joy into each day, and is two bucks well spent."
The app allows you to choose your astrological sign and then it will notify you daily when you have a new fearcast available. Users can also view "Other Fates," by selecting a different sign of the zodiac, to read the fates of their friends (or enemies). Observant fans of the horror genre will find hidden references to many iconic horror films, novels and video games throughout the fearcasts. App users can also share their fearcasts through Facebook, Twitter or by email. The app includes original artwork created specifically for Daily Fearcast that depicts scary versions of each of the 12 astrological signs.
As an example of the scary predictions included in the Daily Fearcast app, the following is today's Leo fearcast:
"You should feel optimistic and confident that you'll beat the odds and survive until the end of the day. There is no one out to get you and no full moon to bring out any monsters. So why the long face? You may have cause to worry after all, if someone strange appears in your life. He's damned and you will be too. On second thought, today would be a good day to give up and go home."
The app was made in America by Galvanized Studios, a small business started by a husband and wife team in San Diego, Calif. This is the first app released by Galvanized Studios.
"We are excited for the release of our first app, Daily Fearcast," said Jessica Berlin, chief operating officer of Galvanized Studios. "We chose this as our first app because we thought it would be a good project to learn the ins and outs of app development. We've learned a lot through this process and it was much harder than we thought it would be. After nine months of hard work we feel like we've developed a quality app that horror and horoscope fans will enjoy."
When Galvanized Studios started, the owners made a decision that they also wanted this to be a company that gives back. For each app Galvanized Studios develops, the owners will select a charity to give a portion of the app's proceeds to. For Daily Fearcast, the company selected the Getty Owl Foundation (gettyowl.org), whose mission is to help families fighting Spinal Muscular Atrophy, the number one genetic killer of children under two.
"We chose this charity because when I first heard the story of the founders of the Getty Owl Foundation and their daughter Getty Storm, I cried," said Catherine Wood, who inspired the idea for Daily Fearcast and is a consultant to Galvanized Studios on the app. "I can only imagine the Storm family's devastation in knowing that their only daughter has Spinal Muscular Atrophy. As a mother of two children, I can't fathom what their family goes through every day. I have been moved by their strength, and I am honored to help out other SMA families in any way I can."
Galvanized Studios is now beginning work on its second app and has plans for many more mobile apps and games in all genres. Look for more from Galvanized Studios in the future.
To purchase Daily Fearcast from the App Store, go to itunes.apple.com/us/app/daily-fearcast/id509969912?ls=1&mt=8.

A La Grange resident is entering the race for the U.S. congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Geoff Davis.
Brian Oerther, a conservative Republican who teaches math for Jefferson County Public Schools, is the third candidate for the position.
Republicans are filing for the election after Davis, a four-term Republican congressman, announced Dec. 15 he will not run again in 2012 for the 4th Congressional district. Davis said he wants to devote more time to his family.
He started his career in emergency response as a 14-year-old. This weekend, more than 35 years later, Crestwood resident Mark Gardner marks the end of 2011 with his retirement from the South Oldham Fire Department.
Gardner, who most recently served as deputy chief of SOFD, retired Dec. 31.
In his many years in the fire service, Gardner has also served as a training officer and as an EMT.
Gardner said he was 14 when he and his best friend, Jeff Tanselle, walked into the Pewee Valley fire station and signed on as junior firefighters.
FRANKFORT – As most of you are aware, the 2012 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly will gavel in at noon Jan. 3.
Being an even-numbered year, this is considered a long session because legislators will be developing the two-year budget for the state.
Much has been made of the fiscal challenges that lay ahead for your legislators. Our tight budget situation has not been overstated, and only through prudent and practical measures will we be able to craft a responsible bi-annual budget.
Ownership of Belknap Community Park, a 25-acre "green space" on Hwy. 42, officially transferred from the North Oldham Lions Club to the Oldham County Fiscal Court this week.
Six acres will go to Oldham County Public Library, said Bob Leslie, magistrate for District 3 and chair of the county's park committee.
"This is a win-win situation for Oldham County and our library," Leslie said, noting that there is not a publicly-owned park in the northwest part of the county.
DATE: December 13
TIME: 7 p.m.
LOCATION: Pewee Valley City Hall Meeting Room
HOSTED BY: 5th District Magistrate, JD Sparks & Oldham County Fiscal Court
All are welcome, but officials hope to attract all Five Forks Drive property owners.
There will be a meeting regarding the paving of Five Forks Drive and associated costs.
After three meetings, members of the Fire and EMS Task Force remain unsure of their purpose.
"We're like a boat without a rudder," said committee member Albert Harrison.
Judge-Executive David Voegele formed the committee in July and tasked members with determining if the current fire and EMS models are the most effective and efficient.
They're behind the scenes, staffing the recycling center, cutting grass and stringing Christmas lights. They're polite, hardworking and hard to miss in their orange shirts.
These county jail inmates do a lot of work around Oldham County as part of the jail's work detail program. Inmates logged more than 29,700 hours of work from January to August this year.
Two rulings for open records law violations by county government were released in early November.
Oldham County resident Judy Ponder filed the open records appeals with the Office of the Attorney General in September.
Ponder asserted the county engineer and planning and development office both failed to fulfill records requests.
State law requires public agencies to determine within three business days if an open records request will be granted. If denied, the agency is required to send notification of why.
Oldham County magistrates were visibly surprised when they learned the judge-executive spent nearly $10,000 in county funds to install a guardrail on a state road.
And the guardrail doesn't meet state specifications, according Andrea Clifford, spokesperson for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

Chicago Blackhawks Win!
Congratulations to the Stanley Cup Champions, the Chicago Blackhawks. While I'm a little disappointed that I'll be missing the awesome parade that will take place downtown tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. I'm happy that I'll get the chance to congratulate this fabulous team whose players worked so hard, one of which lost seven teeth! Again, you might be puzzled over the connection to food, but it's there alright. There was a little wager going on between Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and Philadelpha Mayor Michael A. Nutter.
Since the Flyers lost, Mayor Nutter will be volunteering in a community garden with the Mayor's Office of Sustainability. This office is part of the City's Greenworks plan and it's goal is to bring fresh, local, and healthy food to within 10 minutes of 75 percent of residents. The key to reaching this goal is to encourage community gardens, bring farmers markets to underserved neighborhoods and increase the amount of fresh foods sold in local stores.
Well, the Flyers clearly lost last night, so Mayor Nutter won't get to the best part of the bet. He would have had to donate the food grown to Philabundance, the area's largest hunger relief organization. The organization's mission is to end hunger and malnutrition in the Delaware Valley by obtaining food and allocating it through organizations that help people in need.
Instead, Mayor Nutter will be donating the food grown to the Greater Chicago Food Depository! Yes for Chicago! I had an amazing time last night with my fellow Chicagoans, and will continue the celebration tonight with a Chicago-style dinner:
Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches
Chicago Cocktail
Still interested in what Mayor Daley would have been giving up? I was curious too, and it's pretty extravagant. But hey, that's Mayor Daley for you.
On the line was a large assortment of local Chicago food, drink and other products. If the Flyers would have won, Philadelphia would donate the goods to charities. Check out some of the products we would have given away, according to the Philadelphia Daily News:
- Abundance Bakery: three dozen red velvet cupcakes.
- Al's #1 Italian Beef: 100 Italian Beef Sandwiches.
- Allen Brothers: six boxes of 34 oz. USDA Prime Long Bone Ribeye steaks (The Blackhawk Chop) for Philadelphia and 5,000 burgers to Blackhawks Charities.

- C. J. Vitner Company: 10 cases of Chicago Style Potato Chips.
- Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs: "Cowboy" by David Todd Trost.
- Chicago Public Library: A collection of books by some of Chicago's great authors, including Scott Turow, Innocent; Carl Smith, The Plan of Chicago: Daniel Burnham and the Remaking of the American City; Gwendolyn Brooks, A Book of Poems; Saul Bellows, The Adventures of Augie March; Studs Terkel, Touch and Go; Sarah Paretsky, Body Work.
- Connie's Pizza: 50 Large Deep Dish Sausage Pizzas.

I was born on March 8, 1971 in Hatvan, Heves county.
I was 13 when I first had a band but we only played in the "garage". However, in 1986 in the Hatvan Rock Festival I was named as Heves county's best bass player. From then on I started dealing with music more seriously and I played in several bands that are known nationwide. I had my biggest success with the band called Akcióegység, of which I was a founder in 1991. In 1992 I had the opportunity to play with famous music teachers in the band called Átrium Jazz Rock. This formation and these artists taught me to be respectful both towards music and to my fellow musicians. Actually this was the time I discovered the values of jazz rock. In 1993 I finished second place in a bass contest that involved players from all the country. The jury involved such respected people like György Szappanos and Egon Póka. It is likely that this was the reason for the big change in my life in 1995, when I was 24. Thanks to the recommendation of a journalist acquaintance of mine Feró Nagy, who already knew me from my previous band, looked me up as he was searching for a bass player and wanted to have an audition with me. The audition was successful and I could join the Beatrice family of which I am the member now for 20 years.
Besides Beatrice I played in the band named Schizoid in between 2000 and 2001. In 2002 I received an invitation to play in Ős Bikini which was one of the most acclaimed bands of my childhood. There I replaced Alajos Németh several times, which was a great honour for me. I also had the opportunity to play with Gábor Németh, who is one of Hungary's greatest drummer and guitar player, and I also played with Joe Vedres.
I consider it very important to pass on to the youth the experience I have gained in Beatrice throughout the 20 years. In January of 2012 I founded a community in my hometown. Its aims are the development, exchange of experience and the common music playing. The community has 160 members at the moment. With the support of the municipality of Hatvan we have created a fully equipped professional rehearsal room, which can be used by our musicians free of charge. It is a great joy for me that this could come true and operates ever since. In 2013 with local musicians we made the first guitar duel in Hatvan. It was a great success, therefore we extended the list of performers with a couple of well-known artists in 2014. I hope that we have managed to create a new tradition and we will be able to pass on the love of music to the posterity.
"Devotion and vocation will come to fruition."

Apollo 8 astronaut marks 1968 broadcast to earth
CHICAGO (AP) — An astronaut who was aboard the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon has marked the mission's 45th anniversary in front of the actual spacecraft.
Retired Captain James Lovell Jr. re-enacted the Apollo 8's live Christmas Eve broadcast from 1968. During that broadcast, astronauts read the first ten verses of the book of Genesis from the Bible.
On Monday, Lovell and several high school students took turns reading in front of an Apollo 8 module that's housed at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Lovell says they chose Genesis because it's central to three major world religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
According to NASA, millions tuned in during the original broadcast.
Lovell was a command module pilot on Apollo 8 and went on to be commander of Apollo 13.
Huckabee supports "Duck Dynasty" patriarch
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson's suspension by the A&E network shows that "militant activist groups" want to silence the kind of biblical views that Barack Obama expressed when he was running for president in 2008.
On Fox News Sunday, Huckabee said that when Obama spoke in 2008 at Saddleback Church, he "made it very clear that he opposed same-sex marriage, and he said he did so because he was a Christian and because of his biblical views."
In that appearance, Obama told Pastor Rick Warren, "I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman," and added, "For me as a Christian, it's also a sacred union. You know, God's in the mix."
Huckabee has launched an online petition calling on A&E to reinstate Robertson to the hit reality series.
He said Christians don't consider homosexual acts worse than other sins, and believe that all people are sinners in need of God's forgiveness.
Huckabee sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and has said that he may run again in 2016.
Abbas says Jesus was a 'Palestinian messenger'
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — In a Christmas message, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has referred to Jesus as a "Palestinian" messenger of hope.
Few scholars dispute that Jesus was Jewish. But Palestinian officials said Abbas used the term in a historic context, applying to all those in the Holy Land at the time, regardless of religion.
Abbas' emailed comments Monday appeared to be part of an effort to reach global public opinion and strengthen links between the Palestinian and Christian narratives.
Abbas said Jesus was a "Palestinian messenger who would become a guiding light for millions."
A majority of Palestinians including Abbas are Muslims, but he and his predecessor Yasser Arafat have called for unity of Palestinian Christians and Muslims.
Bethlehem, the traditional birthplace of Jesus, is a Palestinian town in the West Bank.
Mormon-centric Utah epicenter for food storage
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Storing away food and water in case of disaster, job loss or something worse is part of the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but non-Mormons also are increasingly buying survival kits of packaged foods.
Matthew Bowman, assistant professor of religion at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, says the Mormon emphasis on self-reliance dates back to the mid-1800s when food storage began as a pragmatic way to ensure survival as church members trekked across the country to Salt Lake City.
Bowman says by the mid-1900s, church leaders worried about nuclear war and encouraged members to have a two-year supply of food.
In the last two decades, the focus on food storage has shifted back to practicality.
Rick Foster, manager of North America Humanitarian Services with the LDS church, says storing away food is now "about helping all of us individually to get through these bumps that occur in our lives." He says if Mormons are prepared, they can help themselves and others in times of need.
Ho Ho Holy: 2 popes exchange Christmas greetings
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has visited his predecessor, Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, to exchange Christmas greetings.
Photos released by the Vatican newspaper show the two men, dressed in identical white robes save for Francis' cape, chatting in a sitting room inside Benedict's retirement home during the visit Monday. They also prayed together in the adjoining chapel. Benedict was looking well, using a cane for support while they stood in prayer.
It is the first time the interior of Benedict's home has been shown publicly: The sitting room and furniture were all white. An Advent wreath decorated the coffee table.
Since Benedict's retirement in February, the two men have met only once publicly, for an official Vatican ceremony in July. They also have met privately and occasionally have spoken by telephone.

As I get closer to 40 years old I am the fittest I have ever been in my life. If I were able go back and tell my 14-year-old self that I had it in me to run 5k (regularly!), do high intensity interval workouts and play tennis, I actually don't think I would have changed my attitude towards sports at the time.
I am sure it didn't help that in those days the PE teachers would make us run around the hockey pitch in all weathers wearing just a tiny skirt. But, to be honest, I think the reason is that I wasn't mentally strong enough at that age to do well in sports. I was not naturally talented, my body was always more curvy than athletic, and I was not mature enough to put in the extra work that was needed to get over those physical hurdles. Instead, I am now a much stronger person, and I am able to fight those voices in my mind telling me to drop my knees to the floor during plank, or to stop and walk during my run. I have also discovered that doing exercise is much easier when you have a clear objective in mind. This extra motivation might be to lose 10 pounds, get back into those jeans you haven't worn for 10 years, or just improve in a sport you really enjoy.
The main message I want to pass on to anyone reading this short post is whatever your age, don't write yourself off, there is still so much you can achieve. Or in the words of Diana Nyad, who finally swam from Cuba to Florida at the age of 64 after having tried and failed 4 times since her first attempt in her twenties: "You can chase your dreams at any age; you're never too old."

Those of you who saw my last post and/or read my latest blog post (link to blog in bio) will have heard that my partner is very supportive in helping me improve my tennis 🎾👏🙌 And here is an example of him practicing with me and being super encouraging (not sure you can hear well, you need audio on max, but he says good after each shot!) and I even hit the balls he sends me that are out! Well, most of the time… 😊 #tennis #tennispractice #tennistraining #tennislesson #tennislessons #forehand #tennisgirl #tennispartner #tennislife #tennisaddict #tennisobsessed #instatennis #instatennisstar #tennislove #lovetennis Wearing: #oyshofitness #adidastennis
Some evidence of my newfound sportiness!

Control Your Power. Control Your Life.
Power outages can happen at any time, rendering many modern electricity-dependent devices useless. Without power, you may be unable to charge your cell phone, connect to the Internet, use your security system, and run electrical appliances—including your refrigerator, furnace, water heater, central air unit, well pump, and sump pump.
But when your home is equipped with a Generac automatic standby generator, your home remains powered during outages, ensuring you can go on enjoying your electronics and conveniences.
- Generac automatic standby generators are permanently installed, like a central air unit.
- They run on existing natural gas or liquid propane fuel supply, so there's no refueling necessary.
- Best of all, they turn on automatically within seconds of sensing a power outage—whether you're home or away. When utility power returns, they automatically turn off. It's that simple.
- With Mobile Link™, Generac's remote monitor, you can check the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC.1
Exclusive offer for State Farm Customers! Schedule a free in-home assessment with a participating, authorized Generac dealer and receive a $100 manufacturer's rebate and free manufacturer's 5-year extended limited warranty ($595 total value) with your purchase of a Generac automatic standby generator.2

Or call 877-540-2181

Religion. The family. The flag. These are traditional values and symbols that have played a big role in the 1984 election. President Reagan has made them centerpieces of his campaign. Yet some analysts say this is one area that could still be of some help to Democratic challenger Walter Mondale.
Mr. Mondale, of course, has a problem. Millions of Americans equate Mr. Reagan with things like old-fashioned flag-waving patriotism and prayer in the schools. How does one run against the flag? How does one run against prayer?
Mondale's task is to have some of that red, white, and blue rub off on his campaign, while at the same time convincing voters that Reagan may be on the wrong side of important issues like school prayer.
This isn't easy. But Democrats are trying. As often as possible, they portray Mondale in front of large American flags. They show him standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier in TV ads. Issues like prayer or abortion, however, are harder to handle. They can be as sensitive as nitroglycerine. If Mondale supports legalized abortion, Republicans blast him as antifamily. If Mondale opposes prayer in the schools, he's criticized as intolerant of religion.
Yet Democrats insist that if they can only argue their case clearly, most American voters will be on their side on these issues.
Some analysts agree. Public opinion experts say that a large body of public opinion appears to share Mondale's views. Mondale simply has not hit the issues hard enough, or often enough, they say.
Mondale's positions on issues like prayer and abortion appear particularly popular with younger voters, analysts say.
Abortion is clearly the most sensitive of these. Mondale supports the Democratic platform, which says that ''a woman has a right to choose whether and when to have a child.'' He also supports the 1973 Supreme Court decision that expanded abortion rights, and opposes an anti-abortion amendment.
Mondale argues against a school prayer amendment. He says it is contrary to America's shared ideal of religious pluralism.
Mondale asks: Who would write such a prayer?
Mondale also opposes tuition tax credits for parochial schools. Whatever help is given such schools by government should be ''constitutionally acceptable,'' the Democratic platform states.
Historic questions are raised by this year's debate over such issues. Mondale warns that if Reagan gets all he wants, it could begin to break down the historic wall between church and state. But Mondale also warns that other, ugly things may be creeping into national policy under the guise of religion and values. He puts it this way:
''When (a president) speaks of family, faith, and flag, he must invoke such charged words to include Americans, not to divide them; to inspire confidence, not to arouse fears.
''Family must not become a code for intolerance. Religion must not become a code for censorship. Neighborhood must not become code for discrimination. Law must not become code for repression. Work must not become code for callousness. Flag must not become code for jingoism. Peace must not become code for war.''

Starting Jan. 1, individuals can change sex on Oregon birth certificates to non-binary
Starting Jan. 1, people born in Oregon will be able to change their sex on a birth certificate by completing a notarized application.
The state Vital Records office is preparing for the implementation of House Bill 2673, will allows any individual to request a name change or sex designation change on a birth certificate that accurately reflects their gender identity.
Previously, someone wanting to make that change would have to get a court order indicating that a person had completed sexual reassignment.
Instead of an "F" or an "M," an individual will be able to change their sex to "X."
You can find forms and answers to frequently asked questions here.
Amending a birth certificate requires a $35 amendment fee, although that doesn't include the cost of the certificate, which are $25 each for a short-form version and $30 each for the long-form version. New birth records will be provided within seven to 10 working days after the notarized application and fees have been submitted and new birth certificate has been ordered. Applicants will receive a new certified copy of the record of live birth for the registrant (if ordered); a copy of the application form requesting the change; and correspondence from the State Registrar on the final decision.
Applications can be submitted by mail or in person at 800 NE Oregon St., Suite 225, Portland, OR 97232.

Product Details:
- Title: Marrying Christopher
- Author: Michele Paige Holmes
- Genre: Regency Historical Romance
- Paperback: 347 Pages
- Publisher: Mirror Press (August 30, 2015)
- FTC, FYI: I was given a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
Book Description:
Having seen both his sisters Grace and Helen happily married, Christopher Thatcher is free to pursue his dream of life in America. With adventure in his heart and mind, he boards one of the first steamships set to cross the Atlantic in the record breaking time of only twenty-five days. Within the first two of those, his resolve—to avoid women and the complications they often bring to a man's life—falters when he meets Marsali Abbott, a young woman with a past even more troubling than his own. Whether from years of habit protecting his sisters, or simply because he feels drawn to Marsali, Christopher chooses to help her and becomes her friend. As the truth about what awaits Marsali in America becomes evident, he is faced with a more difficult choice, one that will impact their lives far beyond four weeks together at sea.
My Review:
I have read all of the books that Michele Paige Holmes has written. There isn't one book that I wouldn't highly recommend to other readers. This author truly knows what she is doing. For example, have you ever read a book where you liked the plot and it was a pretty good novel, but you didn't care about the characters? This is something that will NEVER happen to a book written by this author. In fact, her characters are always the strongest part of her books. You get hooked into the stories so quickly because she writes characters that you care about, and you want to invest your time into their lives and stories.
The romance between the two main characters of Christopher and Marsali is realistic and very believable. There is an attraction there, but they both fight it for so long. The characters have both been through painful pasts and carry around emotional baggage. This doesn't stop them from growing as people, nor from allowing them to take a chance at their friendships.
I also enjoyed the minor characters that were on the ship with Christopher and Marsali. Even though some could be annoying, they added extra flavor to the story like Lydia's non-stop chattiness or her mother, Lady Cosgrove's stodgy ways. The captain of the ship,Captain Gower, was another who I grew to like a lot.
This Regency Romance also has it's share of surprises that keep you hanging on the edge, and not sure of the outcome.
Overall, this book in the Hearthfire Romance series is one of my favorites. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend you reading the first two books in this series about Christopher's two sisters. Michele has written a book that is wonderful and hard to put down. I stayed up late reading it. I can assure you, that this clean romance, with characters you'll love, and a well thought out story, should definitely be your next book to read. I give this book 5 stars since Michele clearly hit this one out of the park! I loved it!

Pakistan Expanding Nuclear Program
Monday, July 24, 2006
Pakistan has begun building what independent analysts say is a powerful new reactor for producing plutonium, a move that, if verified, would signal a major expansion of the country's nuclear weapons capabilities and a potential new escalation in the region's arms race.
Satellite photos of Pakistan's Khushab nuclear site show what appears to be a partially completed heavy-water reactor capable of producing enough plutonium for 40 to 50 nuclear weapons a year, a 20-fold increase from Pakistan's current capabilities, according to a technical assessment by Washington-based nuclear experts.
The construction site is adjacent to Pakistan's only plutonium production reactor, a modest, 50-megawatt unit that began operating in 1998. By contrast, the dimensions of the new reactor suggest a capacity of 1,000 megawatts or more, according to the analysis by the Institute for Science and International Security. Pakistan is believed to have 30 to 50 uranium warheads, which tend to be heavier and more difficult than plutonium warheads to mount on missiles.
"South Asia may be heading for a nuclear arms race that could lead to arsenals growing into the hundreds of nuclear weapons, or at minimum, vastly expanded stockpiles of military fissile material," the institute's David Albright and Paul Brannan concluded in the technical assessment, a copy of which was provided to The Washington Post.
The assessment's key judgments were endorsed by two other independent nuclear experts who reviewed the commercially available satellite images, provided by Digital Globe, and supporting data. In Pakistan, officials would not confirm or deny the report, but a senior Pakistani official, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged that a nuclear expansion was underway.
"Pakistan's nuclear program has matured. We're now consolidating the program with further expansions," the official said. The expanded program includes "some civilian nuclear power and some military components," he said.
The development raises fresh concerns about a decades-old rivalry between Pakistan and India. Both countries already possess dozens of nuclear warheads and a variety of missiles and other means for delivering them.
Pakistan, like India, has never signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. One of its pioneering nuclear scientists, Abdul Qadeer Khan, who confessed two years ago to operating a network that supplied nuclear materials and know-how to Libya, Iran and North Korea.
The evidence of a possible escalation also comes as Congress prepares to debate a controversial nuclear cooperation agreement between the Bush administration and India. The agreement would grant India access to sensitive U.S. nuclear technology in return for placing its civilian nuclear reactors under tighter safeguards.
No such restrictions were placed on India's military nuclear facilities. India currently has an estimated 30 to 35 nuclear warheads based on a sophisticated plutonium design. Pakistan, which uses a simpler, uranium-based warhead design, has sought for years to modernize its arsenal, and a new heavy-water reactor could allow it to do so, weapons experts say.
"With plutonium bombs, Pakistan can fully join the nuclear club," said a Europe-based diplomat and nuclear expert, speaking on condition that he not be identified by name, after reviewing the satellite evidence. He concurred with the Institute for Science and International Security assessment but offered a somewhat lower estimate -- "up to tenfold" -- for the increase in Pakistan's plutonium production. A third, U.S.-based expert concurred fully with the institute's estimates.
Pakistan launched its nuclear program in the early 1970s and conducted its first successful nuclear test in 1998.

Community members are invited to learn more about the Kershaw County School District's facility needs at a series of public meetings being held later this month and in October. Superintendent Frank Morgan and Operations Executive Director Billy Smith will hold a series of meetings across the county to explain the district's building needs, answer questions and receive suggestions.
"Our district successfully completed Phase 1 of the facilities equalization program where, with good timing and solid financial management, we were able to build three new schools and expand facilities at seven others," Morgan said. "There has always been a plan to have Phase 2 to address the remaining building needs across the county. If we can fully address these issues, this should take care of any non-growth related needs for more than 30 years."
Morgan said meetings are being held in various locations across the county so that persons can attend at least one of them. He also said that the district's website will be updated with photos and more details on plans being discussed.
All meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m. and be held at the following locations:
• Tuesday, September 24: Lugoff-Elgin High
• Thursday, September 26: Camden High
• Thursday, October 3: Baron DeKalb Elementary
• Tuesday, October 22: North Central High
• Thursday, October 24: Leslie M. Stover Middle
• Tuesday, October 29: Camden High

Wedding Reception Music Wedding General Party Tips
Wedding Reception MusicWe all know how important a good DJ is to a successful wedding reception, especially one that your guests and family will be talking about for years to come. The DJ's duties for the four to six hours of your reception are; • Acting as the Master of Ceremonieso Introduction of the Bride and Groomo Introduction of the Bridal Party and Familieso Parent Danceso Cake Cuttingo Garter and Bouquet Toss• Playing continuous music• Keeping your scheduled events in order• Maintaining the musical entertainment of your choice• Keep the Wedding Reception running smoothlyThe music played for your reception can fall into four major categories:• Ceremony Music• Cocktail Hour• Dinner Music• Dance and celebration timeThey are all important and should be carefully chosen by the Bride and Groom, always taking recommendations from the DJ. As a DJ Wedding Professional of twenty years, I find that many DJ's fall short in keeping Dinner music fun, entertaining and appropriate. Too many DJ's place a CD like "Kenny G" or "Frank Sinatra" on and "take a break", not really tending to the party! They have an attitude that "they are only eating dinner". This period of time is an opportunity to reflect on both families ethnic heritage, recall of fond memories of school days, birthdays, anniversaries and special dances between family members.My point is that during your special day, no opportunity should be missed in providing your party with the most professional and emotional entertainment. My recommendations come from performing over 1,000 Wedding Receptions. This is a day you and family will always remember.Listed below is just a small sample of music I would recommend for a fun Dinner hour, knowing that it should be personalized for every reception:Jack's Top 25 Fun Diner Hits1. Say a little prayer – Dionne Warrick2. This will be - Natalie Cole3. Can't takes my eyes off of you – Frankie Vallie4. That's Amore' – Dean Martin5. Everything – Michael Buble`6. I'm a believer – Neil Diamond7. The way you look tonight – Frank Sinatra8. It had to be you – Harry Connick Jr.9. Beyond the sea – Bobby Daren10. God only knows – The Beach Boys11. Love me do – The Beatles12. Your love keeps me hanging on – Jackie Wilson13. Build me up buttercup – The Foundations14. More than yesterday – Spiral Staircase15. Everlasting love – Carl Carlton16. Sway – Michael Bubble'17. The way you do the things you do – The Temptations18. The wonder of you – Elvis19. This old heart of mine – Rod Stewart20. I never knew love like this before – Stephanie Mills21. This Kiss – Faith Hill22. I love you always forever – Donna Lewis23. Every breath you take – UB4024. Margaretville – Jimmy Buffett25. How deep is your love – The Bee Gee'sPlease note these are only a hand full of the songs that can played.Congratulations and Good Luck!

Growing up I was always very in touch with my senses and have seen what the sudden loss of one can do to a person. This is why I believe that everyone should learn to appreciate their senses. I have not until recently realized how important they are to experiencing the simple joys that make life wonderful. Take a moment to sit down and imagine a life without just one of your senses. What would you do without the taste of your favorite home-cooked meal, the smell of your favorite flowers, the sound of your favorite song? Without our senses we would not be able to experience the little things that make life worth while.
In my own experiences I have seen my own mother lose her eyesight. She went from having decent vision one day to losing all central vision the next. When I asked her what she missed most about her eyesight what she said had nothing to do with the fact that she can no longer work and lost her sense of independence. Instead what my mother told me was that what she misses most is being able to read a book, see her children's faces when they are laughing, and see the art work that I create. She said that it also has made her miss things that have not happened yet, seeing me on my college graduation day, my wedding day or the faces of her future grandchildren. She told me herself how she took these simple moments for granted when she could see, and now that she lost her sense of eyesight she realizes what treasures they were.
When I was just a little kid, I remember being so in tune with my senses. I was once able to enjoy the feeling of mud as it slipped through my fingers. I enjoyed it so much that I would make huge messes just for the sake of getting that gritty wet feeling. I remember how the sound of my mother's soothing voice could put me to sleep at the drop of a hat. All different sounds, textures, tastes, smells, and sights were like magic to me. The fact that as I have grown older, have noticed how all of these things slowly lost their hold on me.
I have noticed how I take the tastes of food for granted; shoving things in my mouth without even thinking about if I really enjoy it or not. Just a few days ago as I sat down to eat I thought to myself, there really is no reason rush today so why not just sit and enjoy my food. After thoroughly tasting all my food I realized how weird it was that the sweet and creamy taste of ice cream could change my mood for the better. That day I decided that I was going to tune into my other senses and see what else I have been missing out on. It was beautiful outside so I went for a walk in my neighborhood. That's when I noticed the sounds of birds chirping and the wind rustling through the trees. And that's when I noticed that it was those sounds that were rushing the feelings of happiness and relaxation through me. Its moments like these that I have taken for granted since "growing up". Moments of pure bliss that are gifts from my very own senses.
I believe in taking the time out of everyday to stop and literally smell the roses. It is never to late to start appreciating your senses, they can only get stronger through using them. Every sense is tied to every memory that a person holds. Whether it is the soft touch of their first kiss, the sound of their first concert, or the sight of their child in their first school play. All of these joys come from using our senses, so if people learn to tune into them more imagine the vivid memories that can be created. Take everyday one moment at a time and take the time to enjoy the gifts that our senses give us.
