Destination of Choice: Morocco
To begin, I must say one of us left a kiss in Casablanca….while most of us left our hearts there! Indeed a lovely country! Much to offer! I believe we only managed to skim the surface! Overall a good trip! Well organised! (I already told my husband, i will want you to plan the next trip.) We got to see a mix of everything and hotels/riads were good, with good recommendations of restaurants and both the guide and driver were responsible and fun! Its a trip i would highly recommend to others too!
We were supposed to take a sunset camel ride into the desert, but arrived late and we took the camels in the dark which although a totally awesome experience on its own, it could have been a bit dangerous! We did stay in the nomad tent and that was good! Very basic but for those who like soft adventures, its quite an experience!
The stay in the cave was nice! A good place for hill walking and trekking, so if i do it again, I would prob stay 2 nights there! We did a side tour to visit the nomads at night. Very interesting experience!
All the riads are very interesting! We enjoyed the stay there.
Over all, we enjoyed! One of our best trips!
Now, let's plan for next CNY….haha….:P

The South Tigers opened the season with hope of winning another championship, something that has eluded them in recent season. Coach Ossian Bird, back for a second season, would be he person responsible to take South to the top of the standings.
South opened the season the season with a game against the Alumni. This seemed like a sure win since the Tigers had weeks of practice before the game and the Alumni had very little time to work together. Also, history is with the Tigers, piling up a 6-1-1 record in previous meeting against the Alumni. This year, South's luck ran out. In a defensive struggle, the Alumni shut out South 6-0.
South then took on North with North winning 9-6. South outplayed North by a wide margin according to the 1915 South Yearbook, crashing the hopes of a title in their first game.
South then took on East. East also played a tight defense limiting South to one touchdown. However, that is all the Tigers needed to win since East did not score. The final was 7-0.
A week later, South played West. West also put up a good fight, but the South defense was better. The Tigers won 12-7.
Two weeks later, South played their last city game of the season against Central. Central was no match for the Tigers, giving South a 23-0 win.
With only one loss, South needed help to gain a share of the title. North, who was undefeated, would not play their last game, against East, for 18 days! It was a long wait, and many players attended that game to cheer for East. Unfortunately, North took care of business and won the title outright beating East 28-13.
South finished the season 3-1 in the City Conference. The Minneapolis Tribune named Byers and Warner to the All-City team.

Who we are
At the beginning, we were 4 passionnate young people who met during our studies in computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), about two years ago. Together, we thought about this project. Today, after things have evolved, we are much more people involved in the platform and we work on it every day. We are also constantly working with professionals related to the Governments and the International Organizations present in Geneva, as well as professionals in the Internet and technological fields.
Why we do this project
We really want to make a strong contribution to the world, and together with people from International Organisations, we believe that the technology we have today can be used in a better way when it comes to helping each other, especially when time is critical. Of course we do not have the perfect solution that will solve humanitarian crises or poverty, but we hope our project can significantly change and improve the way people help each other around the world.
What is our vision
With CharitApp, we believe the world can become a better place, with people getting closer to each other, and supporting each other in a more personal and honest way. Because everyone can choose freely how to get in touch with people who need help, and decide and choose about specific personal criterias.
Also, professionals in humanitarian and charity matters have already claimed that there is a clear opportunity for improving humanitarian and charity help with the technological tools, and this will lead to a much higher level of transparency. Basically, there is the need of a radical change. And today's technology allows it.
And we think our project is the evolution required !
Why this idea is revolutionary
Well, it is a combination of many different possibilities finally put together. And it was never done before for two reasons : first, the technology was not developed enough to allow such a system, and second, no one thought about it before. It is, in any way, a true innovation.
For example, before CharitApp, you had no way to connect directly to people in need. You always had to pass by an organisation. Also, until now, people in need were not connected. Now, technologies (internet, cell phones, etc) are worldwide spread and everyone, even in remote locations, has a connection to the world. Also, some people were reluctant with the idea of providing help without having details about the use of the money and in which proportions it would be used. Now, with CharitApp, it is clear for everyone and transparency is at its highest level.
But these are just few of many points we could raise when it comes to why this project is revolutionary, and there are many more.
How it works, more precisely
More precisely, there are 3 major parts in CharitApp. The first one is about independent people, meaning people who created accounts by themselves, and ask for money for their personal needs. They can also create Community Projects, where some people gather together in order to get help for common projects or community needs. It is very similar to crowdfunding, but we put a limit on the money people can receive. In this first part, no organisation is involved, and people act freely.
The second part is where International Organisations and NGOs show their capmaigns and the beneficiaires involved. In this part, the money limit for each campaign is very different and it is up to the Organisations who created the campaign to dispense the money they received from donors (and according to a specific splitting they have to explain before they receive the money). This is were donors also get the chance to help people already supported by an NGO or an International Organisation.
Finally, in the third part, it is about NGOs, International Organisations, Charities, etc., simply presenting themselves. And they can raise money too.
So it is very easy.
Now, about the financial support donors provide, it is very easy too. In the first part, the money goes ONLY to the beneficiary. In the second part, it is the Organisation or the NGO that shows on the campaign page what proportion goes to the people, to the campaign itself and/or to the Organisation/NGO. And in the third part, the money goes all to the Organisation/NGO, and they can use it as they choose to.
How we limit the frauds and abuse
This is the difficult challenge we are facing. Because we don't want people or criminal organisations to use CharitApp in a diverted way and steal from honest users. In other words, we want to make sure the end-benficiaries really need the money, and will use it in a constructive way.
So we've put in place a very organized procedure about the money. And to make it efficient, it involves a few things combined. One of them is that the amount someone can raise is very limited, and depends on the information provided by the beneficiary. The more information we have, the more money he/she can raise. Let's be clear : no one can become rich with CharitApp, because the amounts are not so important. They are meant for helping and not making rich. The maximum raising money is also depending on the feedback beneficiaries give about the money they already recieved. Meaning that donors want to know how their money was used. If we can see how it was used previously, how it helped, and what difference it made, the system will allow a higher amount for the next time. Of course, we also check the users' emails, phone numbers and more. We are also working on a collaboration with a company active in the security of banking messaging.

Peter May - The Chess Men
"From the beginning I was gripped by 'The Chess Men'..."
In this, the third book of Peter May's story of Fin Macleod, Fin is back in Lewis as a civilian working as head of security for a local landowner investigating an increase in poaching on the estate. When an unusual natural phenomenon results in a loch simply disappearing, the appearance of a wrecked small plane on the bottom of the loch starts a train of events that dig deep into the past of Fin and his old friend and maverick, Whistler Macaskill. The body found in the wreck appears to be that of Roddy Mackenzie, the leader of a successful Celtic rock band who had been piloting a small plane that had disappeared seventeen years ago. The group had started when Fin and Whistler were at school in Stornoway. Both were involved with the band and left it for reasons connected to the beautiful lead singer, Mairead Morrison. After Roddy's disappearance the band continued to flourish and the haunting music they produced remained very popular.The second funeral for Roddy Mackenzie reunites the band in Lewis, but feelings are running high. Fin is attacked when he goes to visit Whistler and secrets from the past drive the events of this story and the final revelation leaves Fin with an uncertain future but a resolve to support those who suffered from those events.
In this book, Peter May investigates the influence of the past on the future. Events that took place in Fin's youth come back to haunt him and more particularly his friends. It is rather scary to think that unresolved issues, long buried, can have such devastating effects, but 'The Chess Men' reads true to life and in keeping with the slightly melancholic view of life that Fin Macleod carries with him.As always, the way of life in the islands, past and present , is beautifully described. The intense relationships and strong feelings of young people come to life both in the descriptions of the young Fin and his friends and in the characters of wee Anna and Fin's son Fionnlagh. Fin himself is a complex character. He has good motives but is a man of strong passions, who is carried along by the force of the moment. He is drawn back to his island home where there are the memories of his past but he is learning to understand himself more. May really gets under the skin of Fin and helps us to understand the various influences and decisions he makes.Above all this is a very good read. From the beginning I was gripped by 'The Chess Men' and I was compelled to carry on reading to the very end. This has been a remarkable trilogy from Peter May and one that will stay with me and one I am likely to re-read again and again. Sublime.

Scott Armstrong served 12 years as President and CEO of Group Health Cooperative, an integrated health care provider and not-for-profit health plan that has been nationally recognized for delivering some of the country's highest quality care. Group Health's 2016 operating revenue was more than $3.8 billion, and the organization serves more than 650,000 members in Washington state.
Armstrong oversaw the acquisition of Group Health by Kaiser Permanente in February 2017. As President and CEO, Armstrong worked with his Board and executive leadership team to decide to consider an acquisition, to negotiate an agreement with Kaiser Permanente, and then to successfully gain all necessary approvals to "close" the deal.
Armstrong is an evangelist for health care that reaches outside the doctor's office and into the community. He frequently notes that only 10 percent of preventable, premature deaths are caused by bad healthcare or a lack of healthcare, while 40 percent are due to behavioral factors. Group Health providers get to know their patients as whole people, with individual health needs and goals, so that they can influence the 99.9 percent of their patients' lives that they don't spend in the doctor's office.
Under Armstrong's guidance, Group Health led the health care industry in the early adoption of electronic medical records, designing an effective patient-centered medical home, and proving the value of shared decision making.
Armstrong believes the future of health care lies with primary-care based systems that integrate every component of care around a single goal: better health for those they serve.

In addition to serving as a board member for Concure Oncology/Breast Microseed Treatment, he currently serves on the boards of Cascadia Capital Holdings, the Space Needle Corporation, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and Beat Biotherapeutics.
Kevin has had an extensive career in executive leadership, operations, finance, strategic sales, and consulting across multiple industries and platforms. Spanning from health care to medical devices to capital markets – and other intellectual property-dependent companies - Kevin has led a number of companies – as CEO and CFO - during periods of transition and growth. He has a successful track record monetizing the value of intellectual property. His nearly 30 year career includes over seven years in health care or health care-related industries.
He has served as CEO, CFO, SVP Business Development, and consultant for companies as varied as a medical device manufacturer and a green technology / patent-driven company, as well as other early stage technology companies. As a CEO and CFO, Kevin has a successful track record monetizing the value of intellectual property, negotiating strategic opportunities, and creating value.
Kevin helped lead the restructuring of ClearMedical – a company with an FDA 510k requirement for most of its devices and extremely aggressive competitive and distribution challenges. He negotiated key national purchasing agreements and then, as CFO, led a bridge and preferred round to capitalize the company's new expansion plan.
Within two years after becoming CEO, he led the complete transformation of a company that held the rights to a revolutionary product in the industrial coatings space – in the process transformed a company with little or no value into a company with market presence and a significant valuation. He built the brand and the distribution channels, negotiated a key international strategic alliance, and established new manufacturing processes – all which eventually attracted a strategic offer from a Fortune 100 company to buy the business.
Kevin has also served as interim executive financial management for a business unit of Swedish Health Services. He was the financial interface with the health system financial team during a time of significant restructuring of the business.
Kevin began his career as a CPA at the Financial Accounting Standards Board and continued on to KPMG in Seattle as a manager in their financial services practice. After five years at KPMG he left to found an institutional fixed income portfolio advisory firm with a partner in Seattle where he specialized in mortgage backed securities and structured US Agency bonds. After eight successful years advising funds on trading strategies he left to focus on new ventures.

£2 million investor visas on the rise
This year the UK has seen a 46% increase in the number of wealthy individuals prepared to invest £2 million into the UK economy, often referred to as the 'golden visa'.
The rise in percentage was calculated based on figures from the previous year, which showed that more than 400 individuals applied for the Tier 1 Investor visa. The scheme allows those who invest £2 million into the British economy to remain in the UK for 40 months, with the opportunity to apply for settlement and British citizenship thereafter.
A detailed study on the origin of the high-net-worth individuals coming into the UK in the last 12 months showed that 123 came from China, 52 from Russia, and 24 from Turkey, a rise of 26%, 46% and 85% respectively. The increase in applications came despite Theresa May's Government introducing new, stricter rules in 2015, to avoid money laundering and corruption rooted through the country under the visa scheme for high-net-worth individuals. It's interesting to note that the Investor Visa Scheme has fared extremely well despite the existence of second citizenship options provided by other EU countries such as Malta and Cyprus to name but a few.
Whilst there may have been a harsh crackdown on those applying under the Tier 1 Investor scheme as well as some delays in issuing documents for immigrant investors, Edwin Coe's highly experienced Immigration team is able to resolve such issues.
Should you have any questions in relation to the Tier 1 Investor visa category, or should you require any assistance with applying for the scheme, please contact Dhruti Thakrar – Head of Immigration or any member of the Edwin Coe Immigration team.

Some aspects of history podcasting are an absolute pain. There's no denying that it is an absolute joy to be a history podcaster - at least I think so - but I'd be remiss if I didn't allude to some aspects of the process which really grind my gears. We've already examined, on a more positive note, 5 things history podcasters love, so if you're ready, here's five things that history podcasters hate.
#5: When audacity freezes
We've all been there. Having spent a good few hours writing that script up, you come to the all-important recording process, which leads into the editing process, which leads into the self-high-five process. Sometimes though, in the midst of this process, technology has other ideas. Insert your favoured audio editing software here, but by and large this can be applied to any hiccup in the production process which happens to not be your fault.
Maybe you're left staring at the windows is not responding image with no explained reason? Maybe your hard drive inexplicably corrupts itself? Maybe after an hour or more recording, your software decides that it doesn't like your work and crashes, causing you to lose everything. I still remember the first time it happened to me, and what made it worse was that I was already stuck for time and had a sore throat. Audacity crashed, everything was lost and I felt a strong urge deep inside to cry.
It's funny in a way how much our production process depends on technology simply doing what it's supposed to do, and it always seems to be the time when we're all prepared and taking for granted the fact that everything will just work, that something goes wrong and torpedoes our day's work, not to mention our patience. What makes it more insulting are the lame-ass excuses often given to us.
For example, whenever any programme such as Audacity, Microsoft Word, Skype or anything else crashes and gives you the 'not responding' message, Windows then diligently informs you that it's trying to find a reason and a solution to the problem, before letting you know shortly after that 'a problem' has caused X to stop working'. Well thanks a bunch Windows, couldn't have figured that out myself.
Of course, I told my listeners the episode would be late and everyone moved on, but what if you happen to be unfortunate enough to get someone mean, someone who is less forgiving of the fact that you are merely human and can sometimes make mistakes? Well…
#4: Mean people
I should preface this point by saying that the times I've received negative feedback are very rare. In fact I barely remember the last time I received a smarmy email, an unalterably harsh iTunes review or spotted someone talking harshly about my work on some kind of forum. The problem with these experiences though is that it really knocks one's confidence, and unfortunately, it overrides all the positive feedback you've already gotten throughout your podcasting.
Why is it that one bad review can undo all the good work that your history friends have done building you up to this point? Why are mean words so much more powerful than nice words? Why is it that harsh words hurt us, but sticks and stones don't really hurt as much? Of course, it can doubly damaging if one's self-confidence is low to begin with, or if they're a bit new to the concept of putting themselves out there and seeing what people think.
I should add to this that criticism, as long as it's polite and constructive, is always welcome. I can't count the amount of times I've been pulled up on pronunciation, or when someone corrected me about this family tree or the length of that guy's reign. Sometimes we do make mistakes and sometimes we do need to be pulled up on them; this is how history podcasts are made better.
However, I can't emphasise enough how irritating it is to see a review from someone on iTunes claiming that you 'always' mispronounce things. This leaves you looking useless as a podcaster, and since you can't challenge what they say, that review sits there just waiting for someone to read it. In short, if you have a criticism to make, make it to us personally so we can address it – don't put it in an iTunes review and leave it out there for everyone to see! If you come to us and we do nothing about your advice, then it's fair to mention that you contacted that podcaster but that they didn't listen. But give us a chance to better ourselves, without leaving negative albatrosses around our necks. If good reviews increase your confidence and therefore your ability, then negative reviews or bad press can easily do the opposite, which leads me to…
#3: Self-doubt
What is the point of doing this podcast on ______, it's not like anyone actually cares?
When criticism comes in heavy and the good times seem to fade from memory, it can be hard to remember what it's all for. Why do we spend such a long time in solitude, crafting a product which will only appeal to a small portion of the market? Why do I work for free on college quality scripts when there's no professor out there to correct my stuff? Why do I care so much about something which is heard by less than twenty thousand people a week?
Sometimes you do have to reassure yourself that what you're doing is worthwhile. For sure, the fact that thousands of people are waiting on the next instalment, that I have a sizeable portion of paying Patrons waiting on my work, and that the work I produce is technically part of my day job – all of these are incentives. But when self-doubt comes knocking, and the usual reassurances don't seem to work, what do you do?
In my case, I do tend to talk to myself an awful lot, especially when I'm alone (or think I'm out of earshot). During these intimate conversations with…myself…I tend to go over the reasons why my I do history podcasting, and why it remains so important to me. I look at the stuff I'm producing, and look especially at the fascinating aspects of the story. I then consider that very few, if anyone, has ever heard such a story before.
Then I remember what the purpose of history podcasting really is – it's very similar to the historian's purpose in life. You are bringing stories of our past to people; fascinating stories about incredible events and characters which form a critical part of human history. What is more, as a history podcaster, you are bringing all of this to people in a format that is accessible, digestible and extremely convenient. Like a historian who writes a book on an important subject, they have to believe as much as you have to believe that what you're doing has merit and value. The best way to do this is to take pride in your work – make sure its facts are watertight and the presentation is top notch. You want to be as proud of your podcast as a historian would be of his book.
You can't base your self-worth or abolish your self-doubt based on the feedback you get from listeners, since unless you're a very famous history podcaster the volume of feedback necessary to fill this void simply will not be there. I remember seeing somewhere that something in the realm of 80% of people will enjoy a product without ever telling anyone, let alone the producer, that they enjoyed it. This is a sobering fact, yet when I consider my downloads and the amount of people who have got in touch, it seems to make sense.
Silence from your listeners doesn't mean you're doing a bad job, even it at times it can be disheartening to put so much out there and get so little back. If you're a history podcaster and you've been hit by the self-doubt bug in the past, how do you expel such negative thoughts? I would love to hear from you, as much as I would love to hear from listeners about their favourite shows.
#2: Writing block.
This is an obvious but underrated aspect of the production process. Sometimes I could have a sublime day of writing, and a script would literally fall onto the pages faster than I can type. Other times, I cannot wrap my head around a certain topic or issue, I lack the sources I'd like to have, or I have everything I need and the words just won't come together to make the script I'd like. These times can be immensely frustrating, and what I find helps is to go for a walk, take a break from that empty page blinking away on your screen, and occupy yourself with something else for a little while.
When your return to that demanding blankness, try this: get a notepad or what have you, and write down why you are frustrated, what it is that is stopping you from going further, and try and find the solutions to that problem. When you break things down into isolated little bits, those little bits seem far more manageable than this giant script you have to write. Similarly, when you write down why a writing block has suddenly decided to weigh down upon you, you're more likely to remove that block than if you were to stare at that blank page and get angrier at yourself for somehow not being able to have a productive day. Bear in mind as well that not every day can be a super productive one, but if you make a little bit of progress every day, then you've come that much further than yesterday, and that is progress.
#1: Not enough time.
Babies, I'm told, really don't go well with the whole podcasting thing. I am fortunate in that I'm at a place in my life right now where I can make good time for history podcasting, but I am also mature and realistic enough to accept that this won't always be the case. Life does get in the way of podcasting, like it gets in the way of every hobby. If history podcasting is, like it is for me right now, part of your job, then making time for it becomes a necessity which is sometimes hard to maintain.
The constant 'oh you're not really working, you're only podcasting' has mercifully gone away since I made WDF part of my work and income, but the residual mentality is still there with some people, and this can make it hard sometimes to give WDF the time that I'd like. Of course, if you were to measure the hours of heavy lifting I do with the podcast, you would deduce that I am both crazy and underpaid, but again, history podcasting is a special kind of job. In many ways it is the most demanding, stressful and involving job I have ever had, but it is also, by a mile, my favourite, and I've never been happier in my work situation or my life than I am right now.
Having that control over your own production process, being able to give the time to plan things out and seeing those plans come to fruition – these have all been immensely rewarding experiences, but again, I am realistic enough to know that this won't always be the case. It is unlikely that WDF will always be my part time job, and who knows what the future holds for me and my wife? We could end up in Cambridge, I could become consumed with the PhD, Patreon could close tomorrow – nobody can say for sure what will happen. When change comes I will have to adapt as best as I can, and if that means having less time for my pod-baby then, *sniff sniff* that will just have to be the case.
At the end of the day history podcasters at my level are not production machines supported by a staff or team – we are and I am one person, sometimes two, but we are also just human. We do the best we can with the resources on hand, and while we hate being pulled away from the history, from our babies, to do other life related things, history podcasting is not all that our lives are. While I hate not having the time I need, while I wish there was another day in the week, and that things wouldn't keep getting in the way, that is life.
If you can get the balance right, history podcasting becomes a valued and integral part of life, not something that life pulls you reluctantly away from. I'd be the first to admit that this balance is hard to achieve, but at the same time I know full-well that it's worth it in the end.
Thanks for reading history friends, and remember if you enjoyed this post to share it or comment below. Every Wednesday we release a new post on history podcasting along the same lines as this one, so if you're interested, make sure to check in on the Vassal State in the future!

inspiring artist: Jillian Tamaki
August 15, 2011
From her vivid dreamscapes to her decadent embroidery to her love of literature, Jillian Tamaki is an endless source of inspiration for me. No matter what kind of creative funk I am in, she always sets my imagination on fire.
Not to mention, her Penguin Threads collection is enough to make me swoon. I wish I could decorate whole rooms using her three color schemes.
I also wish my hair looked like Emma's. Very, very much.
Yours truly while the internet connection lasts,

Like many people, I've often wondered what exactly goes into the process of creating certification tests. I was recently invited to take part in one step of the process, and I wanted to share some thoughts.
I spent last week at CompTIA's headquarters helping to create content for the Server+ certification test. This test was released in 2001 and is now in its fourth version (released last year). The test itself is vendor-neutral and covers "the most commonly used server and storage systems in the IT industry."
CompTIA uses subject-matter experts (SMEs) to help maintain and develop their tests, which is why I was there. The exact details of what we did are covered by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), but I can say that overall it was a very educational and enjoyable week. It is clear the exam development team at CompTIA has been producing tests for a very long time, as they have the process down to a science. No matter what questions the SMEs had on the process or what was being looked for, the team always had a prompt, clear answer. The guidelines and process clearly laid out what was needed. The most impressive part was their obvious effort to avoid frustration on the test-taker's part while still ensuring skills are properly tested.
The SMEs I worked with had a broad range of experience in public- and private-sector jobs. More importantly, all the SMEs and CompTIA staff got along well. Everyone was there to turn out the best product possible, and it showed in how professionally everyone worked together.
Participating in a SME program such as this is a great way to give back to the IT community. It doesn't have quite the same time and emotional requirements of personal mentoring, which can be draining on introverts who often work in IT. In addition, it is enlightening to see the testing process from the other side.

TV presenter Anne Robinson could see her £1m BBC salary slashed by half as the corporation continues its attempts to cut costs.
The 68-year-old host of The Weakest Link and Watchdog signed the deal with the BBC two years ago but is due to meet with bosses in the next few weeks to renegotiate.
And sources have suggested that her wage may be reduced by as much as 50 per cent – mirroring the fate of fellow presenters Jeremy Paxman and Alan Hansen, who also saw their salaries cut.
"Anne is one of the most important presenters on the BBC," an insider said.
"But a couple of years ago she was on every night with The Weakest Link. These days her appearances are far fewer which is why the deal is likely to be less."
Anne, who also presents radio shows for the Beeb, has previously been a victim of budget cuts, having previously been on a £2m deal with the corporation.
News of her possible pay cut comes in the week that some of the salaries of the BBC's highest paid stars were revealed.
Graham Norton was among those with the biggest wage packets, having earned £2.6m in the past 12 months.

A Good Book Can Change the World
Jeffrey Sachs's 2005 bestseller The End of Poverty laid out a blueprint for eliminating extreme impoverishment. It also brought Sachs, a Columbia University based economist, international celebrity, attracted rock starsbuenos días, Bono!to his cause, and made African development a hot topic. In Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet (The Penguin Press, $28), Sachs rolls out solutions to a few of the earth's other nagging issues, from environmental destruction to overpopulation. BRUCE BARCOTT checked in with the world's coolest free-market maven.
Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet by Jeffrey Sachs
Want it? Get it
OUTSIDE: Is this book a sequel to The End of Poverty?
SACHS: Ending extreme poverty is like scaling a mountain. When you get to the top, you see that there's a chain of mountains behind that one. Common Wealth is a map to get us across.
How did we get to this point?
We're living in a unique era. We've done so well with our technological development that we have created the capacity to destroy the physical base of our society and imperil our survival. We should aim to stabilize the population, switch to sustainable-energy technologies, and negotiate new global agreements.
In the book, you list "travel" as something that individuals can do to help matters.
That came from my own experience. I'd been a professor in this field for 15 years, but I didn't understand just how extreme poverty and deprivation could be until I went to Africa and worked there.
Lonely Planet is the solution?
Fear is the biggest danger we face. When you're afraid, you're on the defensiveor in a preemptive offensebut you're not in an understanding mode of thinking. Travel, and experiencing diverse cultures, is a powerful way to overcome that fear.

She loved my story!!!
So I received my manuscript back from The Editor last weekend.
I was away in Melbourne for the weekend helping my sister move house, because I of course am an amazing big sister. I woke up the morning we were supposed to head home to about a million e-mails in my inbox.
Not surprising because along with the regular spammy stuff I have apparently signed up to, (damn retail shops giving me V.I.P cards) I had yet to change my twitter settings so as not to receive an e-mail every single time I got a notification.
I have since taken care of this e-mail situation.
And there it was. An email. With my fully edited novella attached.
I have to say, I was a little scared to open said e-mail. I honestly think I just stared at it for a full five minutes before I opened it up, naturally expecting the worst. I tend to be glass half empty girl a lot of the time.
So it was to my utter delight and disbelief to see the words "You're a very clean writer so there isn't much to do" written in the first couple of lines.
I was totally expecting something more along the lines of, "ha ha, you'll never be a writer, you suck" And especially not followed by "Love the story!"
I was absolutely thrilled by this, (there may or may not have been a happy dance) considering I barely let anyone besides my mum, sister, and the lovely ladies at my monthly writing groups read any of it.
Naturally after the immediate excitement passed, that sick, nervous feeling returned with vengeance, exacerbated by the fact that I could not actually view the edits straight away. With my sister moving into a new house comes…dun, dun, dun…NO INTERNET! So I could not view the changes online via my phone.
So alas, I had to wait an entire day to get back home (a three hour drive by the way) to see the damage. Images of that giant red pen came back to taunt me, scribbling all over my imaginary manuscript. I cannot tell you what this did to my nerves. Frayed to say the least.
So the first thing I did when I got home was rush to my computer. Well, after I brought my son inside and put him down for a nap, helped my husband unload the car, got my uniform ready for work that night…OK, so it was the fourth thing I did.
Finally I turned my computer on…
Loading up…
Opened the e-mail…
The Editor was right, there really wasn't much.
I was still expecting an editors "not much to do" to still mean 3/4 of my manuscript to be crossed out in red, (or in this case purple) and needing to rewrite the entire thing. But turns out an editors "not much" is the same as a normal persons "not much."
Absolutely stoked!
I have yet to have the time to actually start the edits as I am currently undertaking NaNoWriMo, (expect a post about my first week in the next few days). But I am super excited to get them done.
Did I mention I was excited? And she loved my story? Yes, I am bragging. I have exclusive bragging rights on this here blog.
If I cannot brag here, then I cannot brag there, then I cannot brag anywhere.
(OK, Dr Seuss totally just popped into my head.)

FCT Angels basketball team of Abuja won their opening game as the 11th Zenith Bank National Basketball Female Basketball League got underway by beating Nasarawa Amazons of Lafia 63-37.
The league, which is a nine-day event, is holding from April 25 to May 3.
It is taking place at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Abuja National Stadium, and is being organised by the Nigeria Basketball Federation, NBBF.
In the game played as one of Day One matches on Saturday, the FCT Angels took control of the game by leading in all the quarters.
At the end of the match, Emmanuel Odah, the coach of the FCT Angels, said he was happy they won the game as it would help to ginger them into finishing well.
"This is a good beginning. I am really surprised with the outcome of the game because this team is a new set of players,
"We lost 17 players last year. They all went for greener pastures. But these girls here now are secondary school girls. We just recruited them.
"Now, we have started well, and we will equally end well. I am sure my girls will make me proud.
"Our team is fully back on its feet now, and I believe we will win our remaining games," he said.
On his part, Mustapha Dogo, the coach of Nasarawa Amazons, said it was a good game for his team even though they lost.
"The game was good. My players are playing such kind of indoor match for the very first time.
"But I have seen a lot of lapses in our game, and I need to work on them before our next game. We will fight hard to win," he said.
In some of the other games of the day, Zamfara Babes of Gusau defeated Coal City Angels of Enugu 40-39.
Delta Force of Asaba also beat GT 2000 of Kaduna 79-25, while Oluyole Babes of Ibadan beat Nigeria Immigration 42-30.
Eighteen teams, drawn into Group A and Group B, are participating in the annual league competition.
FCT Angels, Dolphins, GT 2000, Customs, Coal City Queens, Delta Force, Nasarawa Amazons, Zamfara Babes and IGP Queens are in Group B.
Defending champions First Bank, First Deepwater, Oluyole Babes, Sunshine Angels, AHIP Queens, Nigeria Immigration, Plateau Rocks, Taraba Hurricanes and Benue Princess are in Group A.

LIFT Korea
Wednesday evening was the mini lift session in Seoul at the Yurim Art Hall. Everything went well and a large majority of the 180 people who signed-up came there to hear what Adam Greenfield, Bruce Sterling, Jake Song and Yoo-Suk Yeon had to say about technological implications in space (physical and digital). Being on stage to introduce the program and the speaker, I was not really in the mood of following everything (anxious by this first event) but everything went well (apart from the tedious changes of laptops and sound issues... as usual). More thoughts and thanks about it on the LIFT blog! Kudos to our 4 speakers as well as local support!
In the end, I think the ambience was great, lots of meeting there and a mix of korean+swiss food. A nice first visit to South Korea for me! I'll try to blog the talks as soon as I get my thoughts sorted about them ;)

10 Aug Ten Tried and True Picture Books for K-2 Book Clubs #pb10for10
When we think about our own reading lives, we know community matters. We are both in book clubs, regularly participate in #IMWAYR with Jen Vincent and Kellee Moye, and read and write for the Nerdy Book Club Blog. Today the Picture Book 10 for 10 community comes together to share collections of fiction picture books. This online community, created by Cathy Mere and Mandy Robek, helps us discover new titles, learn interesting ways to group texts and stay connected with friends near and far. Thank you, Cathy and Mandy. We love being a part of this community each August.
As you can see, our reading communities are important to us, and we want our K-2 readers to experience the joys of discussing books with others too. To make this work accessible, playful, and purposeful for our youngest readers, we have a basket of books right in the classroom library to promote book discussions. Sometimes, we read these books aloud before they go in this basket, so students are familiar with the storyline and do not struggle to decode the text. For other books, we book talk the text, knowing that our preview will give readers enough support to work independently.
To celebrate reading communities, we chose ten books we see K-2 readers pick time and time again from this basket. These tried and true texts get students looking closely at the details, laughing out loud, and sharing their thoughts with one another:
Blackout, John Rocco
The detailed illustrations are hard to see when we read this book aloud, but students love to sit together and study this text together.
Good News, Bad News, Jeff Mack
Readers laugh out loud as they see the characters' opinions change as mishaps turn into blessings and happy moments have some unintended outcomes.
Monkey Bridge, Joy Cowley
This oldie but goodie book has readers thinking about the way the characters solve the problem and their motivations.
The Lion and the Mouse, Jerry Pinkney
This wordless book encourages students to retell this classic tale and act as if they are the characters. We love watching readers linger as they study Jerry Pinkney's illustrations of the African Serengeti.
Are We There Yet? Dan Santat
This book pushes kids to differentiate between what is happening in the story and what is in the characters' minds.
Look! Jeff Mack
This book gets kids laughing and thinking about the joys of reading.
Jabari Jumps, Gaia Cornwall
A poignant story about recognizing and overcoming our fears. We love listening to readers as they talk about how Jabari's words do not always match what he is feeling.
Surf's Up, Kwame Alexander
The setup of this text encourages students to take on the role of a character and think about his perceptions and feelings. A fun book for students to act out and discuss how characters' opinions can change.
I Don't Want to be a Frog, Dev Petty
A funny book to promote conversations about appreciating ourselves and others for who they are.
I Am (Not) Scared, Anna King
This book, as well as the two others in this series, help readers think about point of view and the "why" behind a character's words.
If you are looking for more books to get K-2 students sharing their thinking with partners and in book clubs, check out our Pinterest Board. Please feel free to add titles in the comments that you might add to this collection. We love learning about what your K-2 readers are excited to discuss with one another.

Why don't women donate as often as men? And why can't doctors donate frequently ? Find out how you can be a regular donor
Aspirations come in many forms. Earn, buy, travel, achieve. Well, my aspiration was slightly left of centre. My dream for a long time was to be a platelet donor. Having started blood donation right from college times, it was CTCs frequent blood donation camps and requests that instilled the drive to become a regular donor. My wish finally got fulfilled last month, Mani called to ask if I could donate platelets for a child with dengue. Birthday wish – fulfilled.
And today, I got to do it for the second time. Whether it's in a camp or in a hospital with the patient's relatives thanking you profusely , donating is always a rewarding experience.It's one way of saving a life that all of us can do.
Girls , don't shy away from donating by doubting your hemoglobin levels. Eat iron rich foods like dates, nuts, grains and legumes, spinach and drumstick leaves. Take beetroot, green leafy parts of vegetables, jaggery and fruits like pomegranate and citrus fruits. Always add vitamin c rich lemons, oranges, gooseberry (nellikai) and papaya etc to increase absorption of iron in your body. For non vegetarians, meat is a good source as well. Do exercise regularly.

Excellent service, very friendly and knowledgeable. Four other sites I tried kept crashing, but this one has been great! I can vouch that they are always watching as they contacted me during my signup process (I had to reactivate my PayPal account and it took me about 10 minutes) to let me know they were aware of the delay and wanted to know if there was anything they could do to assist me.
