It's been awhile since the last time I've participated in the Weekly Photo Challenge. Well, for my "comeback", here's my take on this week's theme. 🙂
I once met this guy in Physics class (I was a sophomore in college) with whom I fell in love with and the feeling was foreign because that was the first time I fell in love (Oh such happiness! 😛 ). Later on, he broke my heart when we broke up and the feeling was foreign as well because that was the first time I felt that kind of pain (Geez, it really did hurt I'm telling you, lol).
Coincidentally, my roommate had this heart shaped balloon which she gave to me, however, it blew up. I had my Physics book beside me then so I had this crazy idea of taking this photo of the torn heart-shaped balloon on the Physics book as a symbol of how I had my heart beat and get broken because of that guy in Physics class. 😀
Of course, it's either I cry in a hole for having my heart broken or get out there and have fun! Since there's no point in crying over spilled milk, I decided to cry then clean the mess and do something else while moving on. Hence, I traveled alone and visited some of my high school friends who were studying in a different university in another city.
That was the first time I traveled alone for pleasure and sight seeing. My friends accompanied me to different tourist destinations in there place and I even tried kayaking for the first time in one of their famous lakes. The feeling of being able to do all of that was definitely foreign.
From that moment on, I told myself that even if I'm still in college, I'd travel as much as I can and learn to experience a lot of things foreign.
So far, so gooood. \m/

Yahoo picks up Xobni, looks to create smarter contact books
Yahoo continues its acquisition binge by acquiring Xobni in a deal estimated to be worth $30 to $40 million, though some have said the deal may be for some $60 million. Just yesterday, Yahoo acquired Qwiki. Before that, Yahoo acquired Tumblr. This latest acquisition could help Yahoo out in revamping its e-mail and social services, something it is currently in the process of doing.
Xobni has stopped taking new paying customers. They've also pulled their Xobni app on BlackBerry and their Smartr Contacts app on Android. Most of Xobni's services are scheduled to be shut down on July 2, 2014, or a year from yesterday. Neither Yahoo or Xobni have stated what they are planning on creating together, but we assume Xobni's technology will be integrated into Yahoo Mail.
Which company do you think Yahoo will acquire next?

This is the longest I've ever been gone from the blog and I must admit it's been really weird. I've tried to find a balance, but if I'm honest, I'm still trying to figure it out. Full time job, grad school, marriage and ministry... doesn't leave too much time for downtime. This last month has been busy, but fun! Here's a few peeks at what you missed and now we get to play catch up! I already have a few posts lined up. It's good to be back. Thanks for sticking with me!

Comparison of the North American ECA (NAECA) and California Air resources board (CARB) Regulations
The California Air Resources Board issued Marine Notice 2012-1 to clarify the relationship and differences between the low sulfur fuel requirements of the California regulations and the North American ECA. Both the CARB regulations and NAECA have changes that are in force beginning August 1, 2012.
North America ECA Requirements
The NAECA requires the use of fuel containing a maximum of 1% sulfur content. Low sulfur HFO and IFO can be used to meet the ECA requirements. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) expects distillate fuels of various grades to be used as blending agents to produce 1% sulfur fuel oil. The EPA does not expect vessels to use pure distillate fuels to meet the 1% fuel sulfur standard.
CARB Requirements
CARB regulations require the use of distillate fuels: DMA (MGO) – ≤ 1.0% sulfur content or DMB (MDO) – ≤ .5% sulfur content. Low sulfur HFO and IFO are not distillates and cannot be used to meet the CARB requirements
Vessels planning to enter Regulated California Waters (24 nm from the California shoreline, including islands) from the NAECA must switch to the specified distillate fuels to be in compliance with the CARB regulations.

Helping Others
My 20 year old son shocked me with an observation tonight and I wanted to share with you all. We were having a conversation about a friend of mine who was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and how I taught him to check his blood sugar 2 hours after meals to see how foods affect him and shared with him everything that I know about how to manage this etc.. and this guy now tells everyone we know that I'm his Diabetes role model and he wants to copy my behaviors on how I manage it so that he can have good results too. I was feeling pretty high about that comment from my friend already and my son said "Mom, you've touched so many lives since you were diagnosed with Diabetes by teaching and being there for people that your life has had a purpose and even if you died tomorrow god forbid, your life was worth something because you helped people with your knowledge and ability to teach.. he went on to say he wants to be able to say that when he's older, that he helped at least one person overcome an obstacle"…
He made me cry! Now when I think about what he said I see that even though this disease is not something I'd wish on anyone and it's not easy to deal with every day, it's given my life a greater purpose… gotta love that kid!! :) I think all of you on this site should applaud yourselves as you are the same as me, offering information and help to anyone that needs it. I'm glad to be a part of a group of wonderful people and I wanted to thank you all.
8 replies
Judy, thank you so much for sharing this. I have to agree. I never ever would wish diabetes on anyone—especially not a child. But this challenge has opened doors of opportunity to us as well. There have been bonds formed that have blessed our lives.
And I thank the members of this site for showing what is possible when you give people the opportunity to help each other. I mean, when you watch the news, it's so easy to believe that this world is only full of thugs and criminals. But then you see the thousands and thousands here who help each other every day and your faith in humanity is restored.
so glad to read what others are saying and knowing the information is right on the mark.thanks
i had been lost in a fog,not knowing which way to turn,here i have found a group of people willing to help each other. i'm glad i found this place.
It is so true that you help me so much with things you share and direction you have given me. It is funny, but even the smallest things can touch someone and we don't even know it. Woderful that your son at such an age is able to see that. He too will follow your example in the way he touches people too. You should be doubly proud.
Judy, Like I've told you before, this community is something special, and YOU are a very big part of it. We missed you in your temporary absence from it… :)
Those of us that have been here a long time, know how we have impacted the lives of others, esp the newly diagnosed. I pray that you, and others like you, will continue to keep this site going in the right direction of support and information.
Thank you for starting this discussion and reminding all of us that this site is about helping others with this disease.
((((HUGS)))) John

Traveling Laos with children can be both rewarding and challenging, but its merits definitely outweigh the cons. Here are some of our practical tips for traveling Laos with children.
Laos is great place for kids
In general, Laos is easy to travel with children, especially if you stick to the well worn but still worthwhile path of Vientiane – Vang Vieng – Luang Prabang. You can always fly between the major cities to spare your kids the long bus trips. In these three main cities, you are never too far from a decent hospital in case of emergency.
Regardless, Laos is one of the most underrated countries in Southeast Asia but it has such a rich, well-preserved heritage and beautiful natural landscapes that make it a great – and easy – place to explore with children regardless of age.
People in Laos love children. They adore babies especially, so expect some attention if you're traveling with an infant like us. We love how people would come up to Kaleya, tickle her belly, pinch her cheeks or even give her something to eat. The attention isn't excessive or bombarding – embrace their interest and make some new friends!
Health and Safety
Laos' s lack of adequate healthcare facilities is a major concern for parents, so having travel insurance is a must. Remember to consult your travel doctor about necessary vaccinations a few months ahead of your trip to ensure plenty of time for any series of shots required.
Rabies is a problem in Laos, so avoid letting your children play with animals and consider a rabies vaccination before departing. Be wary of mosquitoes – while malaria is very rare outside of remote areas, dengue fever affects a substantial number of people and has no preventative treatment other than avoiding bites — mosquito nets, coils and repellents are especially important during the rainy season.
In case of sickness, the Vientiane French Medical Centre has a paediatrician who speaks English and French. There's also a newly established pediatric hospital, Laos Friends Hospital for Children, in Luang Prabang that provides free treatment to kids in Laos. As you should with any trip to Southeast Asia, bring your own well-stocked medical kit and any children-specific medication. It's essential to bring rehydration solution in case of diarrhoea, which can be quite dangerous in young children.
What to eat
If you're traveling with kids who are already eating solids , feeding them nutritional food is probably another area of concern. Lao food is delicious and healthy, but also very spicy (many dishes will contain chillies). Fried rice, congee, noodle soup (pho) or grilled chicken are easy options for the young ones.
Around Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng, you'll also find plenty of more familiar Western dishes such as pizzas, spaghetti, and burgers with fries. Even local eateries have some of these options, so rest assured you'll still get to eat local.
Some practical tips
Be warned that the sun in Laos can be intense in the middle of the day, even during "winter" from December to February (when we visited). Slap on sunscreen and a hat, stay hydrated, cool off at a waterfall or pool and make plans for down time. Temperatures drop quite a lot at night in winter, so be sure to pack layers, socks and a jacket.
Take advantage of low season rates (May to October), when hotels reduce their rates to half of their high season rate. Temperature and weather is best in October, November and February. Check with the hotel and give them notice about requests like extra beds.

The first step to making more time is to: Monitor how you spend your time.
Why is this important? A few reasons.
1 - God cares how we spend our time. Does He really? According to the Word, He does. Here are just a couple examples of God addressing what He thinks about our time usage:
2 Thess. 3:11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
1 Timothy 5:13 Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to.
These verses address what God thinks about our wasting time. I couldn't even begin to include scriptures that talk about how we should spend our time: in hymns of praise, encouraging each other, loving each other, taking care of each other, preaching the gospel. All we have while on this earth is time. How we spend it determines many things in our lives: how hard we work determines our grades or pay or promotion. How much time and the kind of time we spend with our children goes a long way to determining our relationships with them. Our time spent with other loved ones, including God, determines the depth and health of those relationships. Time is the one thing, once spent, can never be regained. And it matters how we spend it.
What would you say if I said we have more time today than people (as a general rule) than ever before? You'd probably look at me like I'd lost my mind. We do, though! The more conveniences we get in life, the more idle time we have. We simply fill it up. We fill it up with sports and parties and dinners and browsing the web and watching TV and reading books and sitting around talking. We have tons of idle time (for the most of us) when we're not working on our livelihood or maintaining our homes. We simply fill all that time up.
However, it's important to remember that we have one purpose on this earth and that's to be a disciple of Christ. That can include the fun things and the relaxing things, but it's important to remember that those are not the most important things.
And nothing says we can't rest!God allows for rest, but in our society we take much more than the one/seventh of each week to rest. We view any time we spend on working, chores, and ministry as taking away from our time. The truth is, all of our time is a gift from God and should be used wisely.
2 - If we're not conscience of our time, we're more likely to waste it. How often do you get to the end of a day, or a week, or a month and wonder exactly where the time has gone? Time seems to simply slip away when we're not paying attention. That doesn't mean we are to ignore our responsibilities and watch the clock to value each moment. Scripture even addresses this:
Romans 13:11-14 But make sure that you don't get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can't afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about! (Msg)
So how do you monitor your time without wasting more time monitoring it? Organization is one way. However, I know that not everyone is an organization master. But you don't have to write a to-do list every day or keep physical track of your time. It's often helpful to do so, but isn't a requirement. Being intentional about how you use your time – both active time and rest time – will, however, help you be more fruitful instead of just busier.
3 - Living in the moment we have, with a grateful attitude for every single breath and gift from God, will increase your time exponentially. When we race from one thing to the next and are always looking forward, we miss the blessings of the moment, feel rushed, and actually lose time. Working on being fully present in the moment we're in helps us not only feel like we have more time, but will dramatically decrease stress and increase joy.
Are you fully here right now? Or are you wondering if the house is being destroyed while you're away or the list of things you have to do tomorrow, or next week, or even next month? Pause and take a moment to engage fully in this moment. What are you grateful for? What gifts has God given you today? Savor them. Be grateful for them. Ask God to help you recognize them.
Then ask Him to help make you aware of your time.
ii. Take a moment, engage in this second fully, and list 10 things you're grateful for at this moment.

So Little Brother will be here in approx. 11 weeks.
Right now his room is non-existient.
Well, it exists but it's more of a play room that's open to the rest of the house than an actual bedroom.
Somewhere between 1954 and July 18th, 2011 someone decided it would be a good idea to turn the 3rd bedroom
(which is in the front of the house)
into a tv room.
(we are assuming it was probably was an old man wanting one of those newfangled "man-caves")
When we bought the house, we knew we would be turning this room back into a bedroom once we had another little wiggly one around these parts.
The time has come to figure out what we want decor-wise and to do a little construction.
(with help of course. I love Chris, but have you met him?)
So this is what the room currently looks like from the dining room:
And standing in the room looking at the dining room:
(that whole opening is going to be walled off, and the new doorway will be moved to the
very left side of the wall so we will be able to close off all of the rooms in the hallway)
We get to find homes for Bennett's toys and all of the other stuff we inadvertantly filled the space with! Not.
Goodbye fort.
(it's not you, it's me)
So once all of that is out of the way, we get to do the fun stuff.
That is where I come in.
The walls will be kept bright white to match the rest of the house.
(yes, I know we are boring...but it all flows together like a mid-century ranch should)
I present you:
( I don't know why Polyvore shrunk it all into the center. Hopefully you can still read the labels.)
We actually don't need to buy much since Bennett's room was/is so similar.
We are re-using his old crib and changing table/dresser.
We are also moving the cube lamp from B's room into the nursery.
(the soft glow is perfect for night time diaper changes and feedings)
The same green chair is being used.
We have already bought the rug and the pendant light.
All that is left is the shelf,
(I LOVE that IKEA came out with a lacqured version of this!)
and the artwork.
(one of which is just a piece of fancy wrapping paper...though I'm still trying to convince Chris that the map is awesome and kind of makes the room)
The inside of the closet will be painted the same gray color that we used in Bennett's room, for a little added interest.
I can't wait to see it all come together!
(thank you tax refund)
What do you guys think?
Happy Friday Friends!

Success.. What is Success? What is it for you?
Is it how the society has defined it since ages and people have been following this "definition" blindly..?
Is it how the rest of the world sees it and imposes it on us?
Or maybe success is what recruiters tell you – the direction that they steered you in..
"oh.. you know.. when I was your age, I'd take any job that I would get and persevere in it"
That is Success to you?
I beg to differ..
Success is what you want; deep inside.. what is your intuition saying? What's your passion? What is it that YOU want to do?
You are trying to follow your dream career; but then you keep failing.. and you give up..
Or, people start talking how crazy and silly you are for getting out of the comfort zone.. the safety net.. the secure job!
And, you give up!
Look around you.. How many people are truly happy in their job? How many really.. like fuckingly love their job?
Job? That's not even the right word..
But, those people will stay in their job. They will never move. Because they are scared. Scared of starting over again. Scared of getting out there; outside the safety net. So,they complain.
So, isn't it better that you are out there trying and failing; instead of not trying at all like the rest of the world?
Billionaires didn't become billionaires just like this.
They tried. They failed. They believed. They fucked the society.
They took actions on their dreams. Their goals.
They fucked the society all the time.
And, they worked towards their ambitions.
Not giving up just because the rest of the world called them crazy.
Don't let anyone define Success for you.
You create your own success; in the way you want.
You can.
And, it will happen.

SAUL Naked Oats
SAUL is a well-known and trusted variety in the sector of 'Naked Oats'. The grain of naked oats threshes free from the husk. Although naked oat varieties produce less yield than the conventional husked types, the naked grain has considerable nutritional benefits. They produce higher oil and nutrient content. To avoid quality loss (eg: Rancidity), naked oats must be dried immediately after harvest to at least 14% moisture content. For longer term storage a moisture level of 12% is required.
In the Czech Republic where SAUL Naked Oat was bred, they have been sown as late as the 3rd week of May and were at full height and panicle early July. They are extremely competitive and have a growth habit that would suit organic farming. Naked Oats are highly sought after by the pig, poultry and horse feed industry.
C2 Seed will be available for Spring 2017, but orders must be placed early to avoid disappointment as supply is limited.
WANTED: Growers of Naked Oats
PREMIUM: 30% over HGCA Feed Wheat, Min £45 p/t over HGCA Feed Wheat
(Subject to meeting contract specification)
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested
Excellent buy back contracts are available to anyone purchasing SAUL Naked Oats. Our contracts offer a 30% over Feed Wheat premium ex store, with a minimum value of £45 per tonne over Feed Wheat. If you would like to know more about our Naked Oat Buy Back Contract, please email email@example.com

Alcohol and drug use rank among the top challenges reportedly facing Butte County, according to a recent assessment.
The Community Health Needs Assessment was completed at the end of December using the responses from representatives of local organizations and an anonymous survey, said Deanna Reed, Enloe Medical Center's community outreach coordinator. Data was also collected from healthindicators.org.
Hospitals are required to complete the assessment every three years and Enloe Medical Center partnered with Feather River Hospital in Paradise, Orchard Hospital in Gridley and Butte County Public Health to get a complete picture of issues facing the county.
In data from healthindicators.org, binge drinking ranked among the top challenges facing Butte County, Reed said. The county has 18 percent of people who binge drink, compared to 16 percent in California.
Heavy and regular alcohol consumption is at 19 percent in Butte County, while in California it's 17 percent and drops to 7 percent in the U.S.
The focus group and community survey named alcohol, drug and tobacco use as the most challenging risky behaviors facing the county, Reed said.
In the survey alone, alcohol and drugs were named the top two risky behaviors, with driving under the influence as the third.
Representatives from local organizations, such as the Social Security office and homeless shelters, were asked what is the most challenging statistic or factor they see in their day-to-day work experience, and they indicated alcohol, drug and tobacco use were in the top five, Reed said. In the personal lives of those representatives, alcohol and tobacco were also in the top five.
Reed said the results about alcohol and drug use weren't a surprise because it has been a constant issue. However, the number of drug poisoning deaths in Butte County as reported in healthindicators.org was a revelation.
In the county, there are 38.5 overdoses for every 100,000 people, almost four times higher than the state's average of 10.9.
The data on overdoses isn't broken down by type of drugs, Reed said.
Substance abuse and overdoses are common reasons to go to Enloe's emergency room, stated Christina Chavira, Enloe's spokeswoman. The top three substances are opiate derivatives, amphetamines and alcohol.
Dr. Asad Amir, a psychiatrist at Enloe Behavioral Health who evaluates and treats patients with mental health and drug abuse issues, said the most commonly abused drugs have been cannabis, alcohol, methamphetamine and prescription medications, such as opioids and benzodiazepines. Many patients are even dealing with poly-substance abuse — the abuse of multiple substances.
The patients Amir sees typically facing both drug abuse and mental illness are in their 20s and 30s, including college students. However, patients from ages 18 to 60 also have these struggles.
While some people use drugs for recreation or because they were raised in an environment with drug use, Amir said, more commonly people resort to drugs and alcohol in a desperate effort to treat their mental health issues.
The use of drugs and alcohol is "rampant" in the county, Amir said. Although efforts to help have been made throughout the county, he believes the issue is so widespread and increasing that there is still a shortfall of resources and facilities.
More education to the general public about the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol would be helpful, he said, as would more facilities that could help with rehabilitation and detoxification. Currently, people have to travel far distances for these services.
Enloe Medical Center has started addressing the problem by tailoring its health and wellness coaching program to the populations that are the most vulnerable, Reed said. The program was recently taken to the Torres Shelter and Enloe is discussing the opportunity to go back. The hospital is also talking about partnering with Chico State University.
"We're trying to partner so that the resources are more widespread," she said.
People who believe they know someone battling substance abuse or substance abuse with a mental health illness should attempt to find the person help, Reed said. People aren't always aware of what's available and "we have a responsibility to help and reinforce that it's OK to ask for help."
Amir mirrors her statement, saying that if someone has an underlying mental health illness as the primary trigger of the substance abuse, then that must be addressed.
People seeking help are encouraged to contact agencies and organizations like the Skyway House, Northern Valley Indian Health, Oroville Hospital and Chico State University's Campus Alcohol Drugs and Education.

You are welcome, Karen. I would like to pass the word along each time, but I can never just copy the announcement. I very much appreciate what you have done with Writers Night Out. I heard there was a huge crowd last Friday night. Don't give up on me. I very much want to be there but I have not yet been able to get myself there.

Paint the Dang House! Advice for Small Businesses
By Jill Ater
Let's say you are a painter who runs several small businesses painting houses. You're good. You know your business, your clientele and your product. You have a great reputation for excellent work and you charge $3,000 to do the job.
You're working 80 hours a week, but mostly not painting houses.
So, why are you wasting so much time and energy bookkeeping, cold calling and managing the company website? How much is it costing you to be the bookkeeper if instead you could be out in the field painting houses at three-grand a pop?
I see this all the time. It could be the entrepreneur with a great idea running a start-up or a consultant working out of his home; it's often tradesmen or others who are small to medium sized business owners. It seems that many people who are smart and talented have a hard time letting go of running the entire show. But the smartest thing they can do is realize that running the show doesn't mean doing every job involved in the show.
In his 1977 book, "The E-Myth Revisited," Michael E. Gerber posed the idea that knowing how to do something well doesn't necessarily translate to successfully running a business doing whatever that something is you do well. Likewise, my house painter is trying to do it all. And what inevitably happens? Exhaustion and failure and valuable $3K-per-house time wasted doing work that would cost you maybe $20 per hour to hire out.
But competent help can be very hard to find… and once again, wearing the hat of a hiring director chews up your house painting time (not to mention that being an employer is bound to give you HR nightmares). So what on earth is the answer, my small business owner friend?
Consider this.
A part-time employee can fulfill your business objectives and give you the flexibility to only use them for the hours you need. Even better, if you engage someone via a part-time placement service, the employee can likely remain on the staffing company's payroll and you simply cover an hourly bill rate, not unlike your relationship with other vendors you currently have. Ta-da… you have the office support you need at a cost you can afford.
You're not a marketing specialist. You're not a bookkeeper. You're a house painter. Now get the help you need and go paint the dang house.

Strong week! Mortgage rates tick up a bit…
Dan's activity this week:
Well, the purchase agreement from my buyers of last week fell apart, so we are back on the hunt!
The showings from last week paid off. One of my listings received an offer and we have a deal! We'll be closing in late February and now we are out whittling down the homes that they want to buy. We'll probably submit an offer on a property by the end of the week. That will minimize the amount of time they are in limbo!
Another listing had 3 showings over the weekend which is great, although tracking down the feedback hasn't been as easy! Yesterday we also lowered the price on that home so that should help get some more eyes on it. It's a good reason to contact the agents from previous showings and let them know of the price change to stir more activity.
So on Monday I prepped for 3 new listings! For each of the next 3 weeks I'll have a new listing going live on Tuesdays…I'd like to make it 4 or 5 weeks in a row, so give me a call. I do have two appointments booked that just might keep the streak alive, but I wouldn't mind listing 1 new home a week throughout the Spring!! Housing inventory in the market is low and I just sold one of my listings, but I always have the capacity to handle more business!!
Rates for the week
From the IBJ... The average rate for 30-year mortgages rose from 3.60 percent to 3.66 percent in the week ended Jan. 23, according to Bankrate.com. The rate for 15-year mortgages rose from 2.89 percent to 2.94 percent.

Ladies who Shoot their Lunch
Of course a wine with a name like this was enough to capture my interest! Even though I grew up in the country and spent a good chunk of time on the farm where rifles were a necessity and even hung proudly on some relatives walls; shooting has always made me nervous. Unless of course; you're referring to the arcade game Big Buck Hunter.
So the lowdown on this little beauty…. 'Ladies who shoot their Lunch' is produced by Fowles Wine in Victoria's Strathbogie Ranges, they are the first in the world to specially blend a wine to match with wild game foods. The label features a straight shooter looking lady hunter with her pooch; it's vintage and quaint, I couldn't help but love it.
Ladies who shoot their lunch smells like dark choccie and dried berries with the full Fudd of flavours (as in Elmer J. Fudd), a heady mixture of pepper, spice and all things nice. The party that explodes as it hits your mouth is something else.
Drink it on its own, with terrine or if you're game #boom… it'd be great with Bunny, Roo, Emu or Bambi.
Ladies who Shoot their Lunch is a little pricey for everyday at $35.00 a bottle, but we all deserve a special drop every now and then right?! The value is crazy good and in my opinion, easily better than wines three times the price.
You can purchase the Ladies who Shoot their Lunch range direct or from a bunch of booze stores Australia wide.
Do you enjoy gamey meats? I'm a Ms Pac-Man or Mario fan… which classic arcade game character do you love best?

Community Initiatives Fund
14 February 2018
Here's a taster of the work that has been funded by the Community Initiatives Fund (CIF).
Applicant: Finchingfield Guildhall Trust now Finchingfield Guildhall Charitable Incorporated Organisation
CIF grants awarded: £8,000 in 2007 / £7,500 in 2012
Other funders: Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, Braintree and Bocking Civic Society, D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust, DHJ Currie Memorial Trust, Emmanuelle College, Essex Heritage Trust, Finchingfield Parish Council, Foyle Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, John and Ruth Howard Charitable Trust, Pocknell Studio, Sir Robert Kempe Education Foundation, Stephen Clarke 1957 Trust, The Rayne Trust, The Wolfson Foundation, The Worshipful Company of Grocers, Viridor Credits and many local villagers.The project: The guildhall was built around 1470 by the Guild of the Holy Trinity to house a guild of priests and to provide a schoolroom for the boys of the village. The guild room has been used for a place of learning for more than five centuries.
The building fell into disrepair and following the second world war attempts were made to restore the site. Unfortunately, inappropriate materials were used and architectural details were covered up.
In 2008 the Finchingfield Guildhall Trust was formed to save the site from dereliction. After several years bidding for funding, the build started in earnest in 2011. Expert craftsmen were employed using ancient techniques, and local materials were sourced.
"Thanks to all our funding partners and everyone who has donated, the guildhall has gone from a building with serious problems to one with a great future as a stimulating heritage based facility for all." Des Fahy, Finchingfield Guildhall Charitable Incorporated Organisation
Applicant: Gardens of Easton Lodge Preservation TrustProject began: January 2017CIF grant: £5,000Other funders: The Gardens of Easton Lodge Preservation Trust - generous donations and fundraising.
The project: To reconstruct the garden's historic tree house, designed by one of Britain's leading landscape architects, Harold Peto, in 1902.
The 20ft-high hexagonal, self-supporting wooden structure, with thatch or shingle roof, will rest within the branches of the ancient oak tree which held Peto's original structure.
"We'd like to thank Essex County Council for it's vital funding; with planning permission now in place we can't wait to get construction underway of this wonderful tree house. We anticipate lots of interest in the project which I'm sure will attract even more visitors from Essex and much further afield."Sue Gilbert, Trustee
Applicant: Brentwood Leisure Trust - Brentwood Centre, BrentwoodProject opened: July 2016CIF grant: £20,000What: The fund enabled the purchase of 12 new sports wheelchairs and two day chairs for members to get involved in numerous events, including Sportsfest and Wheelchair Basketball.
"The tournaments were a great success involving many local school pupils and since then the funding helped us to launch many Inclusive activities such as Wheelchair Basketball, Wheelchair Fitness and Wheelchair Netball. It has allowed the Brentwood Centre to open so many more doors and remove barriers for a lot of the community."Mike Le-Surf, communications and press officer, Brentwood Centre

Yahoo's coming attractions include facelifts for its e-mail service and Internet search results.
The changes outlined Thursday are part of Yahoo's latest attempt to lure back Web surfers who have been spending more of their time hanging out at Internet hot spots such as Facebook and leaning more heavily on Google's e-mail and search services.
The e-mail upgrade is supposed to make Yahoo's inbox twice as fast. It will also enable users to send the short messages known as "tweets" directly to their Twitter accounts from the mail service. The new features will be available sometime this fall.
Yahoo will try to distinguish its search results from its technology provider, Microsoft, by offering key information in a capsule that will be highlighted above links to other sites.

- Job Section
- How can I
compile my CV to
obtain a job in teaching
with only six month's work
Find out what the job requirements for the specific school entail. Adjust your CV to reflect the specific skills required and focus on the experience obtained in your previous job.
- I need help with
a CV for freelance
clerical or administration work, please advice on how to proceed.
Your CV should provide an indication of your administration abilities. Start with a summary of your skills, experience and qualifications. List relevant hard and soft skills, followed by a job history or completed projects and then your education or courses attended. End with interests and hobbies. The emphasis should be on examples of completed projects. Please note that your grammar, spelling and formatting skills are already noted in your presentation of the information. This type of CV is more a profile than a job seeker CV and should reflect that you are offering your services.
- How should I
write my CV for freelance
work in proofreading and editing with little to almost no
First try to get some experience by offering your services for free to your friends or contacts that need proofreading and editing work. Use those completed projects as experience on your CV. The functional type CV is best for freelance work as it enables you to group the completed projects in relevant categories. If you apply for a specific job, find out what the requirements are and adapt your objective section and profile to the job description.
- Can I mention
"women's rights" in my CV
to get a job in a male orientated work environment?
No, never mention any rights groups to obtain a job. You will create the impression that you are applying pressure to obtain a job, rather than getting the job based on your skills and experience. Focus on your abilities and not your rights.
- How should I
write my CV for a
job in the
accounting field?
The type of CV depends on your work experience and education. You can see samples of functional, chronological and combination CVs at http://www.cvtips.com/CV_styles.html. Make sure that your information is presented in an interesting manner. Donïż˝t just list the jobs, but rather indicate how you have contributed to problem-solving etc. Your achievements at your previous jobs should be highlighted.
- How do I model
my CV for a
superintendent job
in teaching?
If you apply for a high profile job, your CV should be slightly longer than the normal two to maximum three pages. It should provide details of your teaching and departmental head experience as well as writing and assessment experience. The chronological CV is best suited for academic and educational related work.
- Can I use the
normal CV format
for a job in the
film industry?
No. The film industry forms part of media and entertainment and for this reason, you should include a good quality photo and all the plays, films, and performance related skills such as dancing and singing. Indicate if you have worked with big names in the industry. Your CV should be supplemented with a profile of your roles in any type of productions. All training should be included.
- How can I adapt
my CV to obtain a
high profile job
or to make a severe career
The best type of CV for career change is the functional CV. It is the ideal format if you want to show that you are able to take on more responsibilities and have the needed skills to do a job for which you don't have any qualifications. It enables you to list skills that are relevant to the targeted job and to provide a goal that is in line with the new career field that you have chosen.
- Need advice on what
to include
in my CV for a job in the actuarial
Apart from the normal contact details, objectives section, employment history, education and interests section, you should mention what exams you have passed and still need to pass.

- References
- If I am applying
for a job in projects or research, should I include my lecturer's recommendations
on the CV?
Don't list all the references or recommendations on your CV, but note at the end of the CV that references and recommendations are available from your lecturers upon request.
- How can I provide
or list my previous employer on
my CV if I was fired?
Approach your previous employer for a reference. Explain that you would like to apply for another job and that you would appreciate his assistance. You can also ask someone who worked with you to provide a letter of recommendation based on something you did well at the job or even just act as reference for you. You can still state the previous employer as part of your job history on your CV, but note that references are available upon request.
- Can I list my references
at the end of the CV?
Yes you can, but the norm is to include references when so requested or to attach them in a separate document.
- If I am applying for a job in projects or research, should I include my lecturer's recommendations on the CV?
- Information
- Should
I disclose my race on my CV?
No, you should not include any references to race in your CV unless requested in the job ad. You can however include your nationality.
- Should
I include maternity leave taken on my CV
There is no reason for including it in your CV, unless you have taken long leave to spend more time with your new sibling.
- Is it
necessary or advisable to disclose on my CV that I also run a small
business to supplement my income?
It may affect your chances of getting the job, since the employer may be concerned that you will do private deals while working at the company. Rather leave it out and discuss the merits of running the business during the interview, but mention that if the employer requires, that you will close the business.
- Can I
disclose the names of clients in my CV that I have done
work for at my previous employer?
No, even though you should list the most important projects and your contribution to the success thereof, you should not disclose any client names.
- Is it
necessary to disclose a criminal
record or felony on my CV?
Although it isn't needed for your CV, honesty is a good policy. If you fear that you will not get to the interview stage, you can attach a separate letter to explain the circumstances surrounding the criminal offense. You may as an alternative leave it out altogether and only mention it in the application form together with a note that it will be discussed during the interview.
- How
can you disguise your age on the CV if you may be
considered too
old for a position?
Just list your most recent work history and refrain from listing information past the last ten years. If you held relevant jobs past a decade ago, then list them under other jobs held without specific dates.
- Should I disclose my race on my CV?
- Situation
- What if I really
struggle with writing
a CV and don't possess good
writing skills?
Make use of a professional CV writer or ask one of your friends with some writing or job hunting experience to assist you. You can list your experience, skills and qualifications to assist the writer. As an alternative use CVtips.com to gain knowledge about the process and ask someone to check your formatting, spelling and grammar after you have written your CV.
- How can I make it
look acceptable on my CV
if I am over
qualified for the job?
Employers see over qualified candidates as a risk because they will get bored with the job responsibilities or will use the job as a springboard for something better. It is for these reasons that you must put the employer to ease. State in the objectives or summary section of your CV or cover letter that you know that you are overqualified for the job and proceed to indicate why you would like the specific job. Your goals must be in line with the employer's expectations. Place more emphasis on your skills than your qualifications.
- Is it reasonable
for a prospective employer to
request that I list more skills on my
Even if your CV is already long, you should list any additional skills relevant to the job, if so required. It is quite fair of an employer to request more information.
- How can I use the too young
factor to my advantage on my CV?
Indicate in the profile section that you are willing to work hard, have set goals and how your skills will be and advantage to the employer. Market your youth as a benefit to the company. You for instance, are willing to work for less, can learn fast and will cost the company less.
- What if most of my
skills have been gained through projects
while at school, even though I have worked for a period. Should I
include the skills gained at school in my CV?
Your tertiary education and employment after school is the most important. You can list the skills gained at school when they are relevant to the advertised job, but list them under 'Other skills' in your CV.
- How can I relate
military experience on my CV to jobs in the
private sector?
First of all, see the military environment in the same light as any other employer. You may have done several courses that can be listed, received awards and promotion because of good conduct or leadership skills, presented classes or training and worked with technological applications. List soft skills applicable to the job that you are targeting, for instance, self discipline, motivational abilities, communication skills and leadership abilities. Although the software applications may differ, you can still list computer literacy, working with heavy duty equipment, stock or record keeping, budgeting etc. Stay away from strictly military terms and make use of current employment vocabulary.
- How can I disguise
a work that I did for a long period, which I would rather not mention
on my CV?
Many people did jobs which they would rather not mention, for instance, strip dancing etc. If you also did other more corporate presentable work, focus on that. You may consider another description or title for the position, for instance with strip dancing, you can use entertainment dancer. You can include a note at the end of the CV to say that further details are available upon request.
- Is a different type of CV needed if
you have worked in another
country for all your work life?
No, use the same chronological CV that is used in your country. Substitute or place work related terms that may differ from that country in brackets. Just make a note at the end of the CV to indicate that you are eligible to work in the targeted country.
- How can you state
'drop-out' from a course or change in study direction in a positive
way if you haven't finished the first course on your CV?
It is not uncommon for students to drop-out from their studies and waiting a while before they study another course. If you have completed the last course, this shouldn't be a problem on your CV. You can simply state the course or degree you studied as well as the years and institution. Place emphasis on the completed course by listing it first.
- What if my CV has been
described as excellent,
but I still don't get the interviews?
Your CV and cover letter is only one factor in getting the job. Once you have submitted your CV, you should follow up and stay in contact with the recruiter. Remember that recruiters or employers receive hundreds of curriculum vitas, but you need to make sure that they remember your CV and are aware that you are determined to get the job.
- How do I give
myself a job title in my CV when self-employed
all my work life - doing several short projects or small jobs?
List everything you did and find a common theme. Create a job title to reflect that theme.
- How can you make
the work
history section
of the CV more presentable
when you had several jobs and some together with numerous short
Use the functional style CV where you can combine the same type of jobs for a certain period. As an alternative leave out the less relevant jobs or duplicates and list them as projects. Keep the most recent jobs on your CV.
- How do I include my
history in my CV
if the employer requested the information?
Even when you salary history is requested by the employer - don't include it in your CV. You can state at the end of employment history that 'salary history as requested will be provided at the interview'.
- What if I really struggle with writing a CV and don't possess good writing skills?
- CV types
- What type of CV is
relevant for a job in web-design?
Your CV should represent the relevant job industry. You can use a functional or combination CV for this type of work, but don't limit your CV to paper since a cd or online CV in the form of a website will prove your ability for design work. Your presentation for a work in the media sector should include at least one multimedia application, for instance a website built with Dreamveaver MX or Frontpage on a CD, or a Powerpoint presentation with images designed by you.
- When should I rather
use a chronological
CV instead of the functional
Use the chronological CV when you have a solid career history, good qualifications and haven't done much job hopping. Use the functional CV when you have done several unrelated jobs, plan a career change or have unexplained unemployment gaps.
- When should I use an
inventory type
of CV?
Use this type of CV if you don't have a specific job objective or would like to send it to several recruiters, or when you have been unemployed for a long time and need a job quickly.
- Can I send the inventory type of
CV to several employers at once?
Yes you can as long as you write an employer customized cover letter for each specific job or industry and attach it to your CV.
- What does the
employer mean when he says I should send a summary CV?
It is normally a one page summary of your skills, experience and qualifications. Include your education - don't provide details of all the courses. Write it in tabular form to take up less space on your CV. Write your job history in reverse chronological order. Start with the most relevant accomplishments. Include your contact details.
- When will I use a summary CV if not
It is the perfect introduction to employers when you send unsolicited CVs or request possible employment and can also be used for contract work.
- What information
should be included in an academic CV?
The CV should emphasize academic accomplishments. Include the following:
- Contact information
- Details of all research papers
- Grants received
- Lecturing experience
- Management experience
- Published works
- Membership of professional organizations
- Awards
- Conference and seminar contributions
- Job history
- Education
- What type of CV can be
used for contracting work?
The contractor's CV can be slightly different from the conventional CV type. Include the following in a combination or functional type of CV:
- Contact information
- Objectives and profile section combined
- List of longstanding and most recent clients and short description of your involvement - including dates
- Relevant abilities and qualifications
- Important projects
- Availability
- Can I use one CV for several
No, you should preferably target your CV for each job type that you apply for. You can write a basic CV and adapt it to the specific job or employer, or use the inventory CV together with a specific cover letter if you want to mass mail your CV.
- When should I
consider using the targeted
The targeted CV can be used when you have clear career objectives, want to work for a specific employer and have the right skills, education and experience for the advertised or targeted job.
- Can I make use of a
CV template if I
am not good at writing?
CV templates have their advantages, but should only be used as guidelines. The generic formats and lack of original content can cost you the interview.
- When should I use a
combination CV??
Use the combination CV when you have a firm background associated with your career goals and objectives. The combination CV includes the best of the functional and chronological styles. You can also use it when each position or job you held had unique responsibilities. Don't use it when a short CV is requested or when you have several unexplained employment gaps, or when you don't have enough work experience.
- When should I use
the functional
Use the functional CV style when you want to emphasize certain skills and qualifications or want to make a career change. It is ideal for the entrepreneur who wants to get into the formal job sector or the graduate with no experience. You can also use it if you have several unexplained employment gaps.
- Where can I find
examples of curriculum vitas?
You can find examples of curriculum vitas at http://www.cvtips.com/CV_writing.html

- CV Distribution
- Can I fold
the CV if I want
to post
Unless you want to save on postage costs, don't fold your CV; especially not a laser printed CV because the ink will definitely flake off. It is more professional to use an A4 size envelope to post it.
- What format should I use
when I would like to post my CV
Keep the format simple, for instance, plain text or ASCII. Include specific keywords to get your CV noticed by search engines. The keywords must be specific to the job that you target. List your most important skills at the start of the CV and keep a hard copy to post to the employer. Don't use fancy software since the employer might not be able to open the document.
- How can I
make my CV scanable?
Use white A4 size paper and write only on one side of the paper. Print it out with a laser printer and avoid too small fonts. Leave 2.5cm margins. Use capital letters rather than bold to indicate section headers. Use one column only and one and a half line spacing. Don't use italics and avoid graphics.
- In what format should I save
my CV if I want to
email it?
The text format saving is used to ensure that all employers are able to read your CV. The limitation with this is however, in the formatting. You cannot use special fonts and formatting to make it more attractive. The best option is to save it in MS Word and then attach it to the email. If you are looking for a job in presentations or the media, you should consider PDF format. PDF should however not be used in any of the other employment sections unless requested.
- How can I
make sure that my CV
can be faxed?
Use an easy to read font such as Verdana or Arial and make sure that the font size is not too small. You can use 11 to 12 size font. Leave enough white space and write your CV on white paper. Use only text and no graphics. Avoid fancy format styles. Leave out italics and excessive use of bold. Keep your CV to a maximum of two pages.
- Should I post my CV
after I have faxed
it to the employer?
Yes you should either post the CV afterwards or hand deliver it to the employer. Call the employer to confirm receipt of all the pages.
- Can I fax an unsolicited
CV to an employer?
Never fax your CV to an employer unless you have arranged to do so, or were requested.
- Is it
acceptable to present
my CV on a disk?
It depends on the industry. It is perfectly acceptable in the media or design environment since you can include all required examples and documents on the disk. You should however, always provide a hard copy of the CV as well.
- What can I do
to prevent my CV
in email format
to be blocked by Spam filters?
Avoid the following in your subject heading:
- Using just capital letters
- The words hello, hi, free and unique
- Any form of punctuation
- Graphics
- Color
- Zipped files as attachments
- Can I fold the CV if I want to post it?
- Format
- Where should the education
section be listed on the CV?
The placement of the education section depends on the relevancy of the qualifications to the job and how much experience you have. If you have little or no experience, your education section should feature near the beginning of the CV. If you however have little formal education or qualifications, the emphasis should be on your experience and skills.
- In what order
should the information be listed on the CV?
The order of the information depends on the type of CV you use. Your contact details and name should always be first, followed by the short introduction or profile. Education, job history, skills and interests follow next. Interests should as a rule be placed last. Education comes first if you have good qualifications and little experience, while job history and skills are placed before education if you have more experience and little education.
- Is there a difference
between the CV and
There is no real difference between the CV and resume. The Americans prefer to use the term resume while the European countries prefer CV, although it is generally accepted that a CV would be more detailed than the resume.
- What is a good length
for a CV?
The length of the CV depends on the industry. Academic, research and medical related CVs are not page limited and can span several pages. In general, the CV should not exceed more than three pages, but should at least fill one A4 or letter size page.
- In what order
should the information be organized on my CV if I lack
work experience?
Place more emphasis on your education. List the education and then skills section before job history.
- What format can I use for
citing salary requirements and should it form part of the cover letter or CV?
Don't list any salary requirements in your CV or cover letter. It is only dealt with when the employer brings it up or it is requested in the application form.
- Where should the education section be listed on the CV?
- Presentation
- Objectives

The Labasa Reunion in Auckland: When Krishn, Sudama, Rukmini and other classmates met - and all laughed and cried together.
Thakur Ranjit Singh
|The originators, project initiators and drivers of Project Labasa. KRISHN LAL (left) and the engine room of ideas, USHA SUBRAIL (middle). On the right, with a helping hand is NIRLA
As Usha Subrail and Krishn Lal stood at the lectern of Amora Hotel, Auckland, New Zealand on 22nd February, 2014, it indeed was a historical moment and event. They were there to introduce the occasion - a milestone of assembling most of the left-over classmates of the then Labasa Secondary School's (LSS) class of 1966. It was an event after almost half-a century. A salute to these two Project leaders/coordinators of Project Labasa.
|The Class of 1966 - Form 5 Students-STANDING; L-R: Nirmala Nand, Nirla Sanat Pandey,Usha Subrail, Kushma Prasad, Sitla Bhimdeo, Sahira and Neermati Chandra.
STANDING: L-R: Jai Karan, Vasu Maharaj, Rai Mati Bihari, Laxmi Narayan Puran, Uma Kanti Kumari, Catain Ambika Prasad, Vinod Kumar, Vinod Pala, Krishn Lal, Maha Lingam, Thakur Gulabdas, Ajit Swaran Singh and Shiu Goundar.
It took only a small flame from a lady with a desire to do something "to keep her occupied in her retirement" that made a difference. That is Usha Subrail of Melbourne, a student of Form 5 at the then Labasa Secondary School's class of 1966 (now Labasa College). That spark from Usha grew into a bonfire of friendship six months later in Auckland on the weekend of 21/22 February, 2014. She has shared her thoughts with another classmate in Melbourne, Krishn Lal, and together they laid the foundation and built it into a reunion forty eight years on. It took hard work and six months of intense planning.
|The kind and generous host and hostess of informal evening on Friday night: MASTER RAM BIHARI, and Teacher RAI MATI.
The group met at Master Ram Bihari and Rai Mati's residence in Te Atatu South, Auckland on Friday 21 February, 2014 for informal chit-chat and nostalgic music that took them back in time. A classmate, Nirmal Singh (Nivis Motors), who was present of Friday, could not make it to the Saturday programme. A more formal program was organised on Saturday 22 February at Auckland CBD, where yours truly (Thakur) was present to take photos and do a media coverage of the event.
It was a very cordial atmosphere, with warmth supplemented by one of Auckland's warmest nights with temperatures hovering around 27 degrees. Usha and Krishn gave words of introduction and briefed on the culmination of the big event, and their trials and tribulations in coming this far. Judge Ajit Swaran Singh moved words of welcome to the memorable function, and reminded all that while from a small town in Vanua Levu, the friendly north people have big hearts. And that was evident in this event. This was followed by Kushma Prasad with her joyful song. The quiz mistress Usha (Aaap kitna jantey hai, Na Kila Kila mada) kicked off with questions about LSS, such as when... was the lunch hour (12.20 -1pm), which was assembly day (Monday) who were English teachers (Usman Ali and Mrs McKay) and who was the famous tennis player (Sarwan Singh)
|PUNDIT VASU MAHARAJ with good wife, KUSUM MAHARAJ. He paid tribute to departed friends and the shradhaanjali brought tears to many eyes.
Pundit Vasu Maharaj of Brisbane brought tears when he took us on a sentimental journey and paid tribute to classmates who have passed away, and they included some 14 pupils, many of them unfortunately passed away at relatively young age of around 50s. Sitla Bhimdeo, very appropriately, rendered a sentimental old number about meeting and departing..."Aadmi musafir hai, aata hai jaata hai....." (Human being are mere travellers, who come and go, but in doing so, they leave us with memories) This memorable sentimental number literally brought tears to many eyes, with the thoughts of and tributes to departed friends. My Guruji from DAV College, Ba, Pundit Sanat Pande and wife Nirla Pande, who is part of the class of 1966, showed their combined singing partnership. They sang a melodious Mehndi Hasan ghazal in duet form... Zindgi ki rahon mein, takra gaya koi. (We bumped into somebody on the journey of our life). That happened with so many of them.
|Beautiful couple with many specialties and abilities. One on display during the night was their singing ability when they rendered a Mehndi Hasan ghazal which they sang as duet. PUNDIT SANAT PANDEY AND NIRLA PANDEY.
Nirmala Nand from Palmerston North, New Zealand could not leave things half-done, so she completed it by singing a song that leaves everything half completed..." aadha hai chandrama, raat aadhi, reh naa jaye teri meri baat aadhi, mulaqaat aadhi.. (The moon is half, so is the night (midnight); we hope our talks and union does not stay half-completed.)
Well the union of Labasians did not remain half. Jai and Uma Karan from Sydney, took it forward and gave a not so old duet from Laawaris...kab ke bichre huye hum... bichre Fiji se aa ke Auckland me mile.. (Long separated people have at last met after so long separated from Fiji but met in Auckland). Lyrics were slightly modified to reflect the reality and sentiments of the occasion. This song very aptly summed up emotions and feelings of classmates and friends who have been separated for some five decades.
Some untold stories and secrets also came out. Three students from Labasa Secondary School of those days took part in an unauthorised bicycle race in Miss Labasa Festival and they happened to have won. Brian Simmons, the famous soccer player was first, while a classmate present in the function, Captain Ambika Prasad came second, followed by Girja Prasad in the third position.
|Poet NIRLA PANDEY , who penned the poetry titled Kal, Aaj aur Kal. The poet who took her classmates back in time with a memorable iece, depicting the history and different phases of student life at LSS in 1966
Nirla Pande displayed her aptitude of being a poet (apart from being a beautiful 'young" grandmother) with her beautiful delivery of a poetry very aptly titled "Kal, aaj aur kal" (Yesterday, today and tomorrow). The lyrical poem covered various facets of school life, events, happenings, nostalgic experiences, some sadness, some fun stories, the secrets, the nickname of teachers, all the mischievous habits of various students, some forgotten history and secrets. This was an emotional, tear-jerking as well as fun-filled powerhouse of an item very ably and beautifully presented. She very appropriately ended her deliver with a message...Kabhi alvida na kehna...(Never say goodbye), because plans are already in place for a reunion of that reunion in Fiji in 2016.
|Saheli, bhool na jana (Dear friend, please do not forget me) The unity and friendship that was evident in the function. The binding hands of two friends further extend the monogram of LSS. Close friends, SITLA BHIMDEO (left) and UMA KANTI KARAN
As we came close to the tail end, the floor was open for a trip down the memory lane where the classmates respectively told the untold stories, sang the unsung songs of those days, funny tales, all the nicknames and some secrets. There were tears, there was laughter, and there was pin drop silence on occasions, but all of these have been bundled in a parcel of yaadein - memories that would be unwrapped by these long lost friends in their moments of loneliness when they part.
A proud moment was when four soccer veterans present in the function were acknowledged for their feat over four decades ago. They were instrumental in bringing the 1968 IDC Secondary School trophy to little Labasa from Namosau Park (now Govind Park), Ba. These players are Captain Ambika Prasad (Fiji), Pundit Vasu Maharaj (Brisbane), Jai Karan (Sydney) and Vinod Kumar (Wellington)
One of the Project managers, Krishn Lal told FIJI PUNDIT that the trouble was worth the effort, as there were many rewards. "On a personal level it was emotional and nostalgic. But what was even more pleasing to note was the level of attachment to each other- throughout the two days it felt that we had not left each other in the last 48 years; even more surprising was how well the spouses of classmates became part of the class of 1966 - I personally felt that I had known them all their lives! I was left with this feeling of being a part of a unique group of people who had kept in touch despite time and living in different places: age and distance could not stop them from reconnecting because deep down they cared for each other (as they had done in 1966) and they looked forward to the Reunion to renew their close association' said an emotional Krishn.
|The general friendly and cordial atmosphere evident on a very warm evening in Auckland.
Comradeship was evident during the evening programme.
These classmates who attended the reunion are spread in different parts of Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. They were from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington, Palmerston North, Fiji, and of course the host city, Auckland. We are informed that these classmates carried on their union at Amora Hotel till 4am in the morning where all recalled their past life at school and indulged in small talks of those gone-by days.
|Enjoying the company of friends; (from left) NEERMATI and PUNDIT SURESH CHANDRA, and SHIU and VIJAY GOUNDAR.
The farewell that morning was in the theme of what Nirla Pande has reminisced in her Aaj, kal aur kal poem, never say goodbye...kabhi alvida na kehna ...as they parted with the hope of meeting again. And that meeting is planned tentatively for Vanua Levu, maybe Labasa or Savu Savu in 2016 where they hope to attract the larger number of class of 1966. God bless the friendship of Classmates so well reunited in Auckland, New Zealand.
Perhaps in their celebrative mood, nobody thought of this song which may have fittingly erupted from the departing tears of long lost friends...Koi lauta de mere beete huye din.....(Please somebody, return my gone-by days...)..So long---till these Labasians meet again in two years time.

Last month I posted about my handcrafted crochet hook collection. Kelli over at The Clay Bean Co. on etsy does the most amazing things with polymer clay. Such intricate work. I've created a number of things with polymer clay, so I can tell you, it's not always that easy.
I bought the hedgehog needles for my mom. She has a birthday coming up and hedgehogs are one of her favorite wee beasties! So shiny and intricate. The pink "cheeks" and the face is pinched just enough. Oh so darling!
But this hook just makes me smile. I keep picking it up and looking at it. Rolling it around with my fingers...its fat, wooly self. Admiring its Wallace & Gromit(ish) little face and tiny "feet".
Its bum!
The grassy field with flowers. All the other little sheep romping around. It doesn't show up that well, but if you look closely, you can see the grey one that might be "the black sheep" of the family.
This the photo from last months blog. If you don't see what you want at The Clay Bean Co., just send Kelli a note. She's great to work with!
Thanks for stopping by,

"An engaging and revealing story about the 'making' of one of our country's most democratic and progressive unions - a story of the past that speaks powerfully to the challenges facing labor today."
-Howard Kimeldorf, University of Michigan
"The book is accessible and would be excellent for classroom use. The rich narratives of waterfront work, democratic unionism, and interracial organization in Solidarity Stories will make the book interesting to a wide range of readers."
"An accessible and engaging account of one of the most progressive and democratic unions in the American labour movement and the men and women who worked along the North American west coast and in Hawaii throughout much of the twentieth century."
-Left History
"Frst person narratives that are sometimes enlightening, often inspiring, and always genuine."
-Labor Studies Journal
"What emerges most clearly is the loyalty and pride of ILWU members and the enormous impact the union had on the lives of American workers-in wages and pensions, yes, but also by giving workers a voice in their workplaces and a sense of dignity, power, and respect."
-The Western History Quarterly
"...this is a study that encapsulates organizational endeavor, the day-to-day humiliations that provided a fertile soil for organization, and how the union stood tall for racial integration and fairness. Above all, it is a story of success, a success that can be measured by what happens to longshoremen after they retire."
-International Journal of Maritime History
"In showcasing these personal historical vignettes, Schwartz reinforces how oral history can be used to enrich traditional historical scholarship and highlights another way in which Solidarity Stories is a useful resource for public historians."
-The Public Historian
"This book is a welcome addition to the labor history of the West."
-Oregon Historical Quarterly
"What does labor solidarity mean? This book tells us. These oral histories are a great starting point for anyone trying to understand how unions, when inspired and led by working people themselves, can help to improve the human condition."
-Michael Honey, Tacoma News-Tribune
"Solidarity Stories is a remarkable achievement. Workers give gripping testimony about the conditions they hoped to change, and explain how they did it. We hear how the union was organized and how it functioned, from those who built it. We see the crucial role strikes and democracy played in that process. And Schwartz is unafraid to look at the politics of the union's leaders, including activists and black workers fighting racism."
"Those seeking first-person accounts of key people and incidents in the organization's making will be delighted by the vivid recollections it collects."
-Oregon Historical Quarterly
"There appear to be three overarching themes in the oral history testamony: first, the union's long record of success in winning good wages, benefits, and job security for its membership; second, the left-wing politics of many of the union's leaders; and finally, a strong and consistent commitment to racial equality. . . . What gives the book its undeniable power is the colloquial eloquence of the rank-and-file voices that fill its pages."
-Bruce Nelson, Labour/Le Travail

This summer I hope to keep up with posting about my reading, but I am taking my last two grad classes, so I will do my best.
The first book, The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly, is the debut novel of Stephanie Oakes. I am excited for any further books she writes – this was a complex and tense novel that hooked me in from the start. After talking to him about it, my husband also read it in about a day. The writer's MFA in poetry is highly evident in this novel, in that the writing style and metaphors are fantastic and useful. That being said, this is a novel for high school students, as it deals with some exceptional levels of violence and cruelty, which Minnow recounts, both to her FBI psychologist, and to her roommate in juvenile detention. While we know from the very beginning that Minnow no longer has her hands, how that happened is revealed over time. While the main character that belonged to a cult could become a truly sensational story, the author here carefully crafts a protagonist that the reader responds to – and roots for, through all of the flashback reveals.
I admittedly do not read a lot of series to completion. I will often read the first book in a series, but often I don't finish the rest of the books. The Shadowhunter books are a definite exception to this tendency. I tend to consume these as quickly as I can, and I enjoyed this first book in her new, connected series. Fans of the previous two Shadowhunter series will see some of their favorite characters in this, but there is a new cast, and a new take on a love story here as well. I feel that Clare does a great job of integrating action, adventure, supernatural forces, and love stories that are a bit different from the expectation. The love interests always face a major obstacle – but often in an unexpected way. I look forward to the rest of this series as well.
Through the Woods is a collection of graphic novel short stories. Some are takes on fairy tale – like stories, all of them are unsettling, and leave some interprative choices up to the reader. This is not a great collection to read right before bed, but I think it is a great addition to my high school library collection, and a great one to give students that enjoy a good creepy read.
A Time to Dance is a novel in verse. It tells the story of Veda, a rising star in Bharatanatyam dance. She lives with her parents and her grandmother, and her mother does not really support her dancing. She would prefer for Veda to become a doctor someday. However, when Veda is badly injured in an accident, and has to have one of her legs amputated, she has to find new ways to reach her dreams. This reminded me a great deal of The Running Dream, by Van Draanen, Veda's quest to dance again is inspiring, and the plot does not fall into melodrama, but does a great job of exploring Veda's quest back to dance in a realistic manner. The fact that it is a novel in verse also makes this one a quick read.
The final book for the first week was Caged Warrior, by Alan Lawrence Sitomer. This novel tells the story of Mccutcheon Daniel, or Bam Bam, as he is known in the underground illegal world of cage fighting. His dad has been training him since he was three, so that he could eventually become an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter, when he turns eighteen. The family lives in Detroit's 7 mile neighborhood, and has a lot of fight action, which will appeal to fans of mixed martial arts. It also has a young man who wants to get out of the fighting lifestyle, but is trapped by his love for his sister, and his abusive, addict father. This is an interesting work, with a memorable protagonist, and some unexpected twists along the way.
