The Ghana Bamboo Bikes Initiative addresses climate change, poverty, rural-urban migration and youth unemployment by creating jobs for young people, especially women, through the building of high quality bamboo bicycles. Compared to the production of traditional metal bicycles, bamboo bikes require less electricity and no hazardous chemicals. Not only are the bikes light and stable, they can handle rough terrain and can carry large farm loads and passengers. The initiative has support from the GEF Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP), implemented by the United Nations Development Programme.
Fast facts
- 30 jobs created (20 bike assemblers and 10 farmers);
- Bamboo trees that are not cut to produce bike frames help sequester carbon dioxide;
- Growing bamboo helps prevent soil erosion and improves water and air quality.
The problem
Although Ghana is rich in physical, cultural and intellectual resources, it is also a country with traffic congestion, environmental degradation, a stark urban-rural divide, low-employment and poverty.
The Bamboo Bikes activity was started by, and continues to be led by, a young female entrepreneur. It promotes sustainable development, boosts trade, creates employment opportunities for women and addresses a number of United Nations Millennium Development Goals in the process.
Riding towards sustainable development
The increased cultivation and use of bamboo as an alternative to wood helps preserve and rehabilitate Ghana's dwindling forests.
Bamboo improves air and water quality in areas where it is harvested. Additionally, its root system reduces soil erosion, which is a major concern for many farmers. The construction of bamboo bikes is much less energy intensive than production of steel bikes; producing a steel bicycle frame emits about 5 kg of CO2.
Empowering communities
The activity, propelled by women's leadership, is improving the lives of many rural Ghanaians, women in particular, not only by delivering a sustainable and affordable form of transportation that satisfies local needs, but also by creating employment opportunities and stimulating economic growth.
The woman-led Ghana Bamboo Bikes Initiative trains people, especially women, with little or no education in the manufacturing and assembling of bamboo bikes. Producing stable, cheaper and reliable bikes in Ghana is helping the country reduce its dependence on fossil fuels while increasing economic opportunities for rural Ghanaians. The activity has created 30 jobs (10 jobs for farmers and 20 jobs for bamboo bike assemblers). Building capacity and creating employment opportunities is reducing poverty in Ghana's rural communities.
Spillover effect
Bamboo bike making technology has been transferred to two other communities, employing 25 rural women who sell the frames to the Ghana Bamboo Bikes Initiative's supply chain. The Initiative is talking to investors and potential funders to scale up the project, both in size and impact. Organizers aim to build bikes – in Ghana, by Ghanaians, for Ghana – in the thousands.
Each artisan, after their training, will be equipped to employ at least five or six people, and to set up their own small-scale production base in any part of the country. As part of its scaling-up strategy, the Initiative plans to establish a bamboo plantation to support climate mitigation.

Pujols' two HRs spark Angels' big win
Hits two-run blast, solo shot; Trumbo, Bourjos go deep
ARLINGTON -- Jered Weaver could see it coming. Early Saturday at Rangers Ballpark, the ace turned visionary in response to a question about a slumbering Angels offense.
"It's bound to get going sooner or later -- sooner than later," Weaver said. "There are too many talented guys on this team for something good not to happen."
In game five, the Angels found their missing mojo. They pounded four homers in dispatching the Rangers, 8-4, handing Tommy Hanson a victory in his American League debut.
A four-run, first-inning outburst featured homers by Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo, with another blast coming from Pujols and one from Peter Bourjos.
"Look at our lineup up and down -- it speaks for itself," Pujols said. "It's a no-brainer we have a great ballclub. That doesn't mean they're going to hand a championship to you. You have to go out and perform. You have to win games and win series to have an opportunity to go to the postseason. Anything can happen there; you guys know."
Hanson yielded a pair of solo blasts to Mitch Moreland and Ian Kinsler in the third inning en route to the win with six solid innings in his Angels debut.
Rangers left-hander Matt Harrison, rocked for five runs on eight hits in five innings, fell to 0-2.
With only one hit in his first 14 at-bats, Pujols launched his first homer, a two-run shot to dead center following Erick Aybar's double, to get the Angels rolling. After a walk to Josh Hamilton, Harrison served a first-pitch fastball that Trumbo rocketed into the right-field seats for his first homer.
"When I'm driving the ball to right and right-center, it's a good sign," said Trumbo, who produced 29 and 32 homers in his first two Major League seasons.
Mike Trout, who singled twice and was robbed of a third hit by Kinsler, expressed awe over a batting practice show put on by Trumbo.
"Did you see it?" Trout asked. "He hit some unbelievable shots. One went over -- way over -- that Budweiser sign [in left-center]. He was crushing balls."
Singles by Chris Iannetta and Bourjos (on a bunt) and Aybar's sacrifice fly created another run in the second. It could have been a big inning if not for Kinsler taking away a Trout hit at second base.
After yielding the solo homers to Moreland and Kinsler, Hanson left runners in scoring position in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
"Tommy did a great job," manager Mike Scioscia said. "In BP the ball was flying. We said, `Anything that gets up in the air was going out.' With those conditions, Tommy pitched a terrific game to get through six."
Rangers shortstop and No. 2 hitter Elvis Andrus was impressed with Hanson, who was acquired over the winter from the Braves in exchange for Jordan Walden.
"It's always tough facing someone for the first time," Andrus said. "He did a good job keeping the ball down. He rarely made a mistake up and he kept us off balance."
A strong relay throw by Andrus took a run away from the Angels in the fifth. Andrus cut down Howard Kendrick trying to score on Alberto Callaspo's double off the left-field wall.
Bourjos, in his second start of the season in center, unloaded his solo homer to left-center leading off the sixth against reliever Jason Frasor.
"We weren't swinging the bats terrible," Bourjos said. "We just didn't click on all cylinders. Today we did. You're going to have your ups and downs, but it's a lot of fun with this team. I know some fans were starting to panic and think of last April [when the Angels started 6-14], but it's a new year. There's a whole different vibe."
Following Bourjos' blast, Frasor served Pujols' second homer, to left-center. This was the 45th multi-homer game of Pujols' career and moved him past Stan Musial and Willie Stargell into 28th on the all-time home run list with 477.
David Murphy's RBI triple past a leaping Bourjos in center delivered Andrus after a leadoff single in the sixth. The Angels got the run back in the seventh when Trumbo lashed a double off the wall in left and scored on Iannetta's sacrifice fly.
Hanson, allowing six hits and three earned runs, struck out four without a walk before turning it over to the bullpen. Ernesto Frieri surrendered a home run to Nelson Cruz in the ninth.
Pujols was walked intentionally three times. Hamilton, 1-for-20 and getting booed at every opportunity by his former fans, was hitless with a walk hitting behind Pujols. He struck out to end the second and fourth innings after a Pujols intentional pass and flied out in the eighth.
"There are only five games into the season," Pujols said when asked about Hamilton's struggles. "Let the guy settle down and see a month from now."
Pujols is the fifth player in Angels history to be walked intentionally three times in a game. It happened twice to Vladimir Guerrero. It was the second time for Pujols, who was walked intentionally three times as a Cardinal in August 2010 at Washington.
"That's Pujols, man," Andrus said. "When he's on fire, you'd rather give him four balls than let him beat you. He's a great hitter, one of the best in history. When he's locked in, there's not much you can do."

ROLLINSFORD — Have you ever looked at your husband and thought, "Wait a minute, who is this guy? I mean, what planet is he from?" The kicker is, you know there are times when he's wondering the exact same thing about you!
In I Married an Alien!, Ida will give you her take on love, marriage and what to do when the double-wide is feeling just a tad too small for the both of you. The Women Who Run With the Moose get to throw their two cents in, and yes, even Ida's husband Charlie manages to squeeze a word in edgewise (no mean feat!). Don't miss what happens when worlds collide!
All this takes place with humorist Susan Poulin, playing at Garrison Players, Feb. 15-17.
"Charlie and me have been married forty years," explains Ida. "That don't make me an expert, but it certainly gives me a lot to talk about!"
And audiences seem to identify with what Ida has to say on the matter. Mrs. Verna Paradis of Somersworth, confesses, "Sometimes my husband Junior starts getting on my nerves. I know it's time to do something about it when I get kind of miffed that he's breathing. We saw I Married an Alien! last summer, and left the theater feeling better than when we went in. Ida nails it! In fact, I got a stitch in my side from laughing so hard, and Junior even picked up his socks for a whole week after!"
Selected by Portland Magazine as one of the "Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine," writer/performer Susan Poulin has been creating and touring her original theatrical productions since 1992. She was a featured performer in The Mirth of Venus and The Mirth Canal at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, The Maine Festival, the Minneapolis Fringe Theater Festival and Portland, Maine's Cassandra Project. Her work has been supported by the NH State Council on the Arts, the Maine Arts Commission and the Maine Humanities Council. Susan is also a popular keynote speaker, and has brought her humor and insight to presentations for Seacoast Women's Week, the American Cancer Society (New England Division), and the Personal Historians National Conference. As her alter-ego Ida, Susan writes the popular Maine humor blog and podcast, Just Ask Ida, and is the author of Finding Your Inner Moose: Ida LeClair's Guide to Living the Good Life, published by Islandport Press.
Her collaborator Gordon Carlisle has been actively involved as a visual artist, songwriter and actor in the greater Portsmouth, NH area for over twenty-five years. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, Gordon primarily makes his living as a visual artist, creating both private and public murals, theatrical set design, portraits, graphics and illustration. In 1999, Gordon was awarded a New Hampshire State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship for his achievement as a muralist. His most recent commissions have included a 100' square mural for the Hampton Beach State Park Sea Shell Complex Conference Center, a four panel, WPA-style mural for The Dance Hall in Kittery, Maine and a Percent for Art commission for the Fourth District Court in Laconia, NH. Gordon's studio artwork has been exhibited across the US. To see Gordon's commercial artwork, including murals, portraits, graphics and illustration, please visit: gordoncarlisle.com
As Poolyle Productions, Poulin and Carlisle have been collaborating on plays, songs, and artwork for two decades. Their critically acclaimed plays, In My Head I'm Thin, Shutting Up Peggy Lee!, Spousal Deafness … and Other Bones of Contention, Pardon My French!, Ida: Woman Who Runs With The Moose (Seacoast Media Group 1998 Spotlight on the Arts Award for Play of the Year and Best Actress), Ida's Havin' a Yard Sale! (SMG's 2005 Spotlight on the Arts Award for Best Original Script and Best Actress in a Play), A Very Ida Christmas!, A Visit With Ida and The Moose in Me, the Moose in You have broken box office records throughout the Northeast. Ida: Woman Who Runs With the Moose made it's international debut in 2010 with a production in Amherst, Nova Scotia. Their plays have also been used as fundraisers for a wide variety of organizations.

Why do you integrate faked elements? They are imediately regognizable as fakes.
The problem here is: you try to include 3D elements. That´s ok. But 3D elements only are acceptable (in my eyes) when they´re not can be idebtified as artificial on the spot.
They have to fit into without iritating the whole scene. That´s a very specialized kind of art and needs high skills and dedicated applications - better leave that to experts.

According to the new Field Poll, one in four voters admits to knowing little or nothing about what the health care law does. Another 60 percent say they are "somewhat" knowledgeable about it.
The survey finds 53 percent of Californians support the federal health care law; similar to previous polls. Statewide, about a quarter of those asked believe they will be better off because of the law. Another quarter say they'll be worse off, and nearly half say the law won't make much difference to them.
The survey is the second in a series exploring views about health care ahead of the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Enrollment for new health care plans under the law begins in October.

Select originals of my work have been featured at The Liss Gallery-Toronto (2015), CJ Nero Gallery-New Orleans (2016), Art Basel-Miami (2017), Art Madness NOLA (2018), while others hold permanent residencies at Who Dat Café (NOLA), Second Line Arts and Antiques (NOLA), Rebellion Bar & Urban Kitchen (NOLA), Aloft Downtown Hotel (NOLA), and Studio A Global (Washington, D.C.). I'm always excited about my next moves, the people I will meet and the art that will be created. The universe has been so good to me, man, and my art is my "Thank You" gift I give to it!

Get your whip out and prepare to hate snakes once more. The BBC is reporting that Harrison Ford says an idea is now in place for a fifth Indiana Jones flick. We go to the blockquotes:
The Hollywood actor says he, director Steven Spielberg and writer George Lucas have come up with a rough outline for the follow-up to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
He said: "Steven [Spielberg] and George [Lucas] and I are sort of agreed on a germ of an idea and we're seeing what comes of it."
I am someone who didn't get a chance to see "Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull" in theaters, then was told by many to avoid it entirely, then saw it on DVD with incredibly low expectations, then was mildly entertained by it, then gradually came to see why everyone else hated it.
There are a lot of reasons Indy 4 was a lousy movie, but two stand out in my mind. One: Harrison Ford isn't that good at acting anymore, unless you like grumbling. Two: George Lucas had a hand in writing the initial screenplay. George Lucas should never be allowed to write anything other than a check made out to a competent screenwriter.
But Lucas will take the lead in writing this installment once more. According to Ford, "The process works like this: We come to some basic agreement and then George goes away for a long time and works on it."
U.S. & World
And then he adds crazy aliens who talk with a Jamaican accent. And bomb-proof fridges. AND SAUCER PEOPLE! Oh, does George do a number on that little idea.
I grew up with "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones." And, like many from my generation, I am greatly dismayed at what George Lucas has done to sully both of those beloved franchises. Here's my idea for Indy 5: Dump Ford, dump Lucas, dump Shia LeBeouf. Hire a great screenwriter. Cast a new Indy, like Jeremy Renner or someone cool. Come up with some old artifact to hunt for, like Noah's Ark or something. Then throw in lots of stunts and maps with advancing red lines, and BOOM. Mild improvement. Something new should be done with character. It may be blasphemous at first, but it's better than what we got last time around.

Instead of airing Latina Governor Susana Martinez's speech at the Republican National Convention, ABC chose to host liberal Univision anchor Jorge Ramos who had dire words for the Republican Party.
"I think Republicans have a real, real challenge trying to get Latinos. Because just a few words in Spanish from Susana Martinez over principle is not enough," warned Ramos while ABC showed video of Martinez speaking. "[I]if they insist on talking about immigration, they're going to lose even more of the Hispanic vote," he also said.
Ramos has been an immigration advocate while appearing as a journalist with Univision. He begged for immigration reform in a Time magazine interview.
Yet ABC aired his liberal screed against Republican immigration policy while one of the party's prominent Latino politicians addressed the convention.
"So they really have to insist on economics because if they insist on immigration, they're really going to lose the Hispanic vote," Ramos stated of Republicans. "I think he [Romney] has to avoid immigration. If he says the word 'self-deportation,' that's it for him," Ramos said of Mitt Romney's upcoming convention address.
A transcript of the segment, which aired during ABC's coverage of the Republican National Convention on August 29 at 10:17 p.m. EDT, is as follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Right now on the podium Governor Susanna Martinez of New Mexico, Mexican-American, first-term. She addressed the convention in Spanish just a few minutes ago, and of course Diane, trying to get more of the Hispanic vote such a major challenge for Governor Romney right now. He's well behind President Obama, at a rate right now, it will be very difficult for him to win. I want to bring that to our partner Jorge Ramos from Univision.
All week long we expect to hear from Susana Martinez, from Senator Rubio in Florida, Senator Marco Rubio tomorrow night. But Mitt Romney's economic message will be how he draws Hispanic voters in.
JORGE RAMOS, Univision news anchor: And that's the only way, if they insist on talking about immigration, they're going to lose even more of the Hispanic vote. The last poll that I saw, they don't even get 30 percent of the Hispanic vote. If they can't get 33 percent, 35 or 40 percent, they're going to lose the election. The new rule in American politics is that if you can't get the Hispanic vote, you cannot get the White House.
DIANE SAWYER: And again, John McCain got 31 percent?
RAMOS: Only 31 percent. So the magic number is 33 percent, and if they insist on this message of Governor Romney rejects immigration reform, he rejects the DREAM Act, he's for self-deportation – and we have to remember that there were Republicans who approve the anti-immigrant laws in Arizona, in Alabama and Georgia. So they really have to insist on economics because if they insist on immigration, they're really going to lose the Hispanic vote.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And give us a sense – you gave us a sense of the percentage of the Hispanic vote, but it's important in the states beyond the states you would normally think of like Florida and New Mexico.
RAMOS: Yeah, and – well Colorado is really important, but in the end, it's just a matter of a few numbers. Latinos, I think, might decide this election if they decided the last two elections. In a very close election, Latinos will decide who wins Florida, Colorado and Nevada. And again, I think Republicans have a real, real challenge trying to get Latinos. Because just a few words in Spanish from Susana Martinez over principle is not enough.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What is – when Mitt Romney takes the stage tomorrow night, if he has two sentences to try to appeal to the Latino vote, to the Hispanic vote, what can it be?
RAMOS: I think he has to avoid immigration. If he says the word "self-deportation," that's it for him.

Batte Fish
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to battle fish of all kinds in an arena? Which two fish would win an all-out duel in the deep blue sea? What if you placed a huge blowfish in a tank with lots of smaller fish, who would win? Well now you have the opportunity to find out! In this online action arcade game, you must grow your blowfish to a reasonable size so that they can defend themselves. After all, a small fish would never be able to protect itself from a large fish – it just doesn't happen, at least not in this game. Don't worry, it seems like it would be difficult to battle fish but it's actually very easy. Tap a fish to help them grow or stop interacting with them to suspend growth. In order to successfully defend yourself from the other fish in the sea, you must be bigger in size. If you bump into enemy fish or other objects and you're smaller, you'll be reduced to your original compact size. The winning strategy involves knowing exactly when to grow your fish, and when to let them float around. Will you survive to eat the smaller prey, or will you be fish food instead? Remember to keep growing those fish when you can, because no one likes to be fish food. Just give this charming game a try, it's extremely addictive! It can be played from any smartphone, tablet or computer regardless of where you are. Access it directly online, at any time of the day for free. Who doesn't love free games? We certainly do! There's no questionable material either so you can play with your entire family. Compare scores with friends and family alike to find out who is the reigning blowfish-battle champ.
Exciting battles against friends, players and bosses await you! The ultimate Battle Arena is ready for a new true champion.

I briefly mentioned dabbrev expand in one of my interesting links posts when I noted a post that was covering auto-complete.el. Dabbrev expand is a great little feature of emacs. With one keychord, you can expand text using any match from any buffer that you have opened. Until now, I haven't particularly wanted more.
However, now it is time to move to auto-complete. It's nice to get feedback about potential completions. In the linked post, it states that auto-complete is just a framework and it needs quite a bit of tweaking to get the behaviour I want.
The primary thing I want to fix is that by default it only uses completions from the current buffer. I like completion to use all open buffers as dabbrev does by default. I thought that it would be easy to add this by setting
ac-sources to
(setq-default ac-sources '(ac-source-words-in-all-buffer))
Unfortunately, that isn't come close to what I want. There is also an extension called ac-dabbrev.el but that doesn't work for me either. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to fix myself.
We can use functions from dabbrev to get all of the possible dabbrev expansions.
(require 'cl) (require 'dabbrev) (require 'auto-complete) (defun ac-source-dabbrev (abbrev) (interactive) (dabbrev--reset-global-variables) (let ((dabbrev-check-all-buffers t)) (sort (dabbrev--find-all-expansions abbrev t) #'string<)))
auto-complete allows you to list multiple sources for completions in ac-sources. Here we just want one but I could see that it might be nice to add language keywords or something like that.
(defvar ac-source-dabbrev-words '((candidates . (lambda () (all-completions ac-target (ac-source-dabbrev ac-target))))) "Get all the completions using dabbrev") (setq-default ac-sources '(ac-source-dabbrev-words))
I prefer to manually start completion rather than have it trigger automatically.
(setq ac-auto-start nil)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-/") 'ac-start)
There is a keymap you can add your own keys to. By default,
C-g doesn't cancel the completion window which feels really strange to me. In emacs
C-g is pervasive for cancelling options. Fortunately, it is pretty easy to fix that.
(define-key ac-complete-mode-map (kbd "M-x") 'execute-extended-command) (define-key ac-complete-mode-map (kbd "C-n") 'ac-next) (define-key ac-complete-mode-map (kbd "C-p") 'ac-previous) (define-key ac-complete-mode-map (kbd "C-g") 'ac-stop)
I like both
RETURN and
TAB for completion.
(define-key ac-complete-mode-map "\t" 'ac-complete) (define-key ac-complete-mode-map "\r" 'ac-complete)
I want completions to update as you type. Did you know that by adding a vector to a keymap, you can capture all ascii keypresses?
(defun ac-self-insert () (interactive) (self-insert-command 1) (ac-start)) ;; (define-key ac-complete-mode-map [t] 'ac-self-insert)
[t] also absorbs other ASCII keypresses you've defined such as
TAB and
RETURN. Therefore, we have to define them all individually.
(defun ac-fix-keymap () (let ((i 32)) (while (<= i ?z) (define-key ac-complete-mode-map (make-string 1 i) 'ac-self-insert) (incf i)))) (ac-fix-keymap)
I also want
DELETE to trigger a new completion update.
(define-key ac-complete-mode-map (kbd "DEL") (lambda () (interactive) (backward-delete-char-untabify 1) (ac-start))) (provide 'auto-complete-config)

Man arrested for scrap-metal theft in southwest Michigan
DOWAGIAC — A 21-year-old Wayne Township man faces multiple charges in connection with the theft of scrap metal from a southwest Michigan industrial park.
Cass County officials say Michael Reeves was arraigned last week on conspiracy, larceny, stolen property and malicious destruction of property charges.
Reeves was arrested early last Friday morning in Dowagiac, south of Grand Rapids, after police stopped a car loaded with scrap metal.
He was being held on a $10,000 bond in the Cass County Jail.
A warrant has been issued for a second suspect.

SEOUL — TODAY WAS THE FIRST day we kept the windows of our apartment open for longer than 20 minutes. In months past, the air has been so swamp-like and offending that inviting it into our tiny space has brought only sweat and noise. But a holiday weekend and a drizzling rain have purged this city's breath. It is quieter, clearer; cool and fresh. Swatches of blue are dabbed in patches above foggy distant peaks. Maybe, just maybe, fall is coming.
It is no doubt obvious to a handful of faithful readers that my bid to rise daily at five AM and bang out a post has, so far, failed. I seem incapable of adhering to such a schedule, and working the night shift more frequently lately has not helped. Thursday night I finished up my tasks around 1 AM (along with a can of Cass and an order of ddukbokki) and then proceeded to flit through a wasteland of late-nite television. Dramas from four years ago. Old American movies. I fell asleep.
Friday my wife and I spent the majority of the day reading in bed. Try as I might, I could not bring myself to plop down in front of a glowing screen. The feel of the book's pages and the smell of pulp and ink cradled me in a world far from wires and deadlines. A good novel is like a journey gone right: both wrench us from the humdrum perspective of the daily grind, and leave us standing with a subtly fresh perspective on life. We take something with us. We leave something behind.
Symbolically, the book that I've just finished will be passed onto another friend living here, an East Coast native who is now Seattle-bound. If all goes according to plan, he should then pass it back to its original owner — completing a literary cycle formed of happy accident — in time for its pages to taste the Northwest winter.

I'm also going to try to write more personal things.
But right now, I'm trying to figure it out, so please bear with me. And if you've traveled here and are looking for something to read, here are my ten favorite stories from my 16 years at the Statesman.

One scourge of the flowering perennial bee balm (Monarda didyma) is powdery mildew. This fungal disease can take a beautiful stand of bee balm and turn the leaves into a dry, white crusty powder by midsummer. In my garden, I've always noticed that different varieties show different susceptibility to powdery mildew, and now research from the University of Vermont and Chicago Botanic Garden confirm that one variety is significantly less likely to get the disease.
In a three-year study comparing 17 different varieties of bee balm, Leonard Perry, ornamental plant specialist at the University of Vermont, concluded that the most disease-resistant bee balm was 'Marshall's Delight'. On average during the trial period, fewer than 20 percent of the leaves showed mildew.
Likewise, Richard Hawke, horticulturist at the Chicago Botanic Garden, concluded that, of the 38 varieties he tested over four years, 'Marshall's Delight' showed best growth and disease-resistance. In the trial period, no more than 5 percent of its foliage became infected. If mildew is a problem in your garden, consider growing this 3-foot-tall beauty with bright pink flowers.
Charlie Nardozzi is senior horticulturist at National Gardening.

Save Our Benefit DoD Podcasts In The FightASM Job Advantage
BY Kelli Brewer
Serving in America's military is an honor and a patriotic sacrifice, but it comes at a cost. A great many of our veterans and service members bear the physical marks and mental scars of their service and carry them into private life. It's a sad state of affairs that the government for which they served sometimes isn't able to help meet their needs, and many suffer for it. Job loss, divorce, alcoholism, and dislocation are often the result. It's up to members of a grateful public to give our veterans a helping hand. There are many ways to help without spending a lot of money or time.

Military Update: The Senate Armed Services Committee has voted to make permanent the Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance (SSIA) set to expire next spring, and paid monthly to 63,000 survivors of service members who died on active duty or, more commonly, died of severe service-connected health conditions in retirement.
If the Senate initiative becomes law, the SSIA payments of $310 a month also would be adjusted annually, starting in 2018, by the same percentage cost-of-living adjustment used to keep military retirement from fading to inflation.

WASHINGTON, July 29, 2015 - The Defense Department wants to remind its health care beneficiaries who carry commercial health insurance to provide their policy information to their TRICARE providers, a Defense Health Agency official said recently.
Mark Ellis, a DHA senior health program analyst, said the issue is important to DoD because by law, commercial health care insurance companies pay first and TRICARE pays second on medical bills.
WASHINGTON, July 21, 2015 - The Defense Department today closed loopholes to protect U.S. men and women in uniform from predatory lending practices, President Barack Obama said this morning at the 116th Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The heightened level of financial and consumer-rights protection against unscrupulous practices, called the final rule of the Military Lending Act, covers all forms of payday loans, vehicle title loans, refund anticipation loans, deposit advance loans, installment loans, unsecured open-end lines of credit and credit cards, DoD officials explained.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), all Americans including all military members (active duty, retired, Selected Reserve, or Retired Reserve) and their eligible family members must have health care coverage that meets a minimum standard called minimum essential coverage or pay a fee. Your TRICARE coverage meets the minimum essential coverage requirement under the ACA.
"The term "active duty" means full-time duty in the active service of a uniformed service for more than 30 consecutive days".

From a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau News Release

I work for A Million Thanks (www.amillionthanks.org)
We are a registered 501c3 organization whose mission is to send thank you letters to active duty military around the world. We have sent over 6 million letters to date and have an increase in mail coming in recently.
Usually, we have military personnel who want to receive mail contact us directly but we have more mail than addresses currently. Would you mind making some sort of post on your website asking those military personnel who want to receive mail, and military families who want their loved ones to receive mail, to contact me.

We remember the troops who hit the beaches when Communist forces were pressing south; who pushed back, and fought their way north through hard mountains and bitter cold. We remember ordinary men and women who showed extraordinary courage through 3 long years of war, fighting far from home to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.

"It's like a MASH [Mobile Army Surgical Hospital] unit," Marta O'Neill, who heads the National Personnel Records Center's Preservation Lab, said during a telephone interview. "There may be 15 different routes that a record could take so we can still preserve the information and get the benefits to the veteran."

CROWNSVILLE, Md., July 13, 2012 - Army Sgt. Jonathon Biddle never imagined that the challenge of learning to ride a horse would help him recover from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and severe anxiety. A program called Horses for Heroes, however, is helping the wounded warrior do just that.
Biddle joined the Horses for Heroes program in the fall of 2011, following a month-long hospital stay at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. It was Biddle's wife, Jackie, who encouraged him to try the program after he brought home a flyer from the Warriors in Transition Unit. The program, started in 2009 by Maryland Therapeutic Riding Inc., is designed to help wounded warriors relieve stress so they can focus on healing.

WASHINGTON, July 13, 2012 - Much has changed in the 20 years since the Defense Department ramped up its family support programs by providing policy and guidance from the Pentagon to installations.
And that support is continuing, with many more programs and a broader reach, DOD's senior official for family support said today.
I'm working on a new uplifting television program focused on bringing people & communities together. "The Choir" documents a highly-recognized, award-winning Choirmaster as he attempts to create choirs in the most unlikely of settings. He feels choirs allow people to come together and express themselves as a community, and although they're made of many voices, individuals often find unexpected personal rewards and growth through their choral experience.
"The Choir" is not another competition show about finding the next pop superstar or watching people sing off-key in front of judges for a humiliating audition segment. This show is about building community spirit with neighbors, peers, co-workers, and others through the simple joy of singing. It's open to all military wives! Vocal talent is welcome, but not required because there are a variety of ways to contribute to the choir's success. (Right now, we're focused solely on the wives of our military men, but if anyone else is interested, it could possibly open up to others as we progress.)
WASHINGTON, July 12, 2012 - Transitioning service members and veterans will be able to learn how to become entrepreneurs through a U.S. Small Business Administration-sponsored pilot program, SBA Administrator Karen G. Mills told reporters here yesterday.

(Hollywood - July 4, 2012) America it seems is a warring nation and throughout American history in the twentieth and twenty first centuries Hollywood has always played a part through its movie power. In World War II major stars and producers contributed in many ways. Jimmy Stewart joined the Air Force and mega star John Wayne while not serving in the war did make movies with a positive spin to bring hope to the American people. Shortly after the end of the Korean War Hollywood gave it face with classics like "The Hunters" starring Robert Mitchum and "Pork Chop Hill" starring Gregory Peck. The super controversial Vietnam War that lasted far too long and claimed millions of lives including 58,000 American lives got Hollywood's attention with the classics "Apocalypse Now" and "Platoon." But the more than decade long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have received little attention from Hollywood and what has been produced has been almost exclusively anti war propaganda.
It is perfectly fine to be anti war, but as thousands of Americans, and others, die and are wounded in these struggles the American media in general and Hollywood in particular has simply turned a blind eye on the subject; that is until now.

From better sleep to more energy, Protandim Dual Synergizer is designed to slow down the aging process and improve your overall health with two powerful products wrapped in one incredible value.
The answer to aging is simple: reduce oxidative stress and boost the mitochondrial production your cells need to repair and rejuvenate themselves. It's a two-part approach that Protandim Dual Synergizer takes on by combining Protandim NRF1 and Nrf2 into one powerful solution. Together, they accomplish more than an entire medicine cabinet full of expensive, ineffective supplements (and they take up less room, too).
With Protandim Dual Synergizer, you get two scientifically-proven formulas that work at the cellular level to help you live a healthier life. And you get it all at an incredible value. Protandim Dual Synergizer comes with a long list of benefits that can help:
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
By applying the study of nutrigenomics to identify natural antioxidants, phytonutrients, and naturally occurring coenzymes to activate the Nrf2 and NRF1 pathways and promote mitochondrial growth and function and promote cellular health, we've created a product that slows aging down while helping you feel your best.
Working together, Protandim Nrf2 and NRF1 Synergizers produce natural antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and protect the mitochondria you have and promote cellular health.
Complete cellular health now comes in a single package. By combining Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer and its trusty companion, Protandim NRF1 Synergizer, you don't just get better health, you get amazing value. More mitochondria, less oxidative stress— the Dual Synergizer pack delivers the best of both worlds with a month supply of Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer (30 caplets) and a month supply of Protandim NRF1 Synergizer (60 capsules).
Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer wakes up your body's ability to produce antioxidants with five potent botanicals, and takes the damaging effects of aging head on. And it's the only supplement proven in a clinical study to reduce oxidative stress in humans by an average of 40 percent in 30 days.
Protandim NRF1 Synergizer uses ingredients to harness the power of youth. While free radicals continue to break down mitochondria with every breath, Protandim NRF1 Synergizer builds those powerhouses back up, so you have more energy while you fight the signs of aging.

Like many of you out there, I like to flash custom ROMs on my Android devices. And today we've got a treat for you. We've found some great ROM Manager apps for your ROM. Including some that are specific to MIUI, AOKP and even CyanogenMod, which are the most popular and most used ROMs around. We've also got some ROM Manager apps that let you download updates, new ROMs, and flash a new recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP. Let's get started with out Top 10 list.
10. Root Browser Lite
So you've rooted your device. And now you want to access ALL of the files on your device, right? Well most file manager apps don't allow you to see the hidden files even if you are rooted. But with Root Browser Lite you can see every single file on your Android device. With this file manager you can delete files and all of it's sub-directories, copy/paste files, send files by email, and so much more.
9. AOKP Backup
If you're running an AOKP ROM, then you need this app. Those of us that flash ROMs usually flash nightlies, therefore you're getting a new update quite often. AOKP usually updates weekly. But with AOKP Backup you can backup all your settings and restore them in a snap. With AOKP having so many settings that you can change, this is a great app that is needed. Note: This only works on AOKP ROMs not CM10, Paranoid Android or any other ROMs.
8. Kangerator
Want to be sure you're running the latest AOKP build? Then you'll want to download this app. It checks to see if there is a newer build for your device. It'll also show you the Release notes for the new release. And where AOKP doesn't do nightlies, all devices get releases at basically the same time. You can also download the updated ROM directly from the app and then flash it in recovery, where you won't need to wipe data, just the dalvik cache.
7. ROM Customizer
ROM Customizer is a great app. Let's you do plenty of customizing to your ROM on your device. It even lets you flash kernels, modems and recoveries but only on certain devices including GT-I9000/SGH-I897, GT-I9100, GT-I9300, GT-N7000, GT-S5360(kernel only) and maguro (Galaxy Nexus GSM). Other than that the rest of the features work great on every device. Give it a try on your custom ROM.
6. MIUI ROM Downloader
Still running Miui? Then you'll want this app. It allows you to download updates to MIUI for your device, see screenshots and the changelog as well. After you download it, you can then go into Recovery and flash it over your current install. It's just that easy. But the app only supports select devices. Click the button below to see all the devices it supports.
5. ROM Toolbox Pro
ROM Toolbox Pro is one of the most useful ROM Manager apps out there. It allows you to do so much customization to your ROM including changing the fonts, icons, boot animation and more. It also includes some kernel tweaks, Ad blocker, Root Explorer and a theme manager. It is just jam packed with goodies for you to try out. There is also a free version, but it doesn't allow you to do as much as the Pro version does.
4. Cyandelta updater
Are you on a tiered data plan (i.e. 2GB per month? Are you running CyanogenMod nightlies? Then you need to install CyanDelta Updater. It's a pretty simple app. Instead of downloading the full CM ROM every time there's a new nightly, it downloads the changes and gives you an incremental update to flash on your device. So instead of downloading 200MB everyday, it's a much smaller download. But if you're on unlimited data, might as well use the built in CM Updater and use that data!
3. Pimp My ROM
Pimp My ROM is one of those apps that has unlimited tweaks, or so it seems. Of course it does require Root, and works on almost every device and ROM out there. It is in alpha stage right now, so we suggest you make a nandroid backup on your phone before using this app. Pimp my ROM includes 3G tweaks, Wifi Tweaks, adding Beats Audio, battery saving tweaks, some kernel tweaks and a whole lot more.
2. GooManager
Of course GooManager is for rooted devices anyways. Using GooManager you can download new ROMs and updates to those ROMs, then flash them through recovery. In addition to that you can download some kernels to flash on your device as well, and download gapps (Google Apps including the Play Store, Gmail, etc.). It's a pretty neat app that works with any ROM hosted on goo.im.
1. ROM Manager
And the number one ROM Manager app, ROM Manager. How fitting right? This app is probably the first one any of us downloaded after rooting our device. It allows you to download ROMs, install ones that on your phones' storage, flash ClockworkMod recovery including ClockworkMod Touch recovery. In addition to all that, you can also backup/restore nandroids and manage all your backups. It is a great app for any newbie flasher.
