New Catholic Dictionary – Saint Augustine of Canterbury
Confessor of the Faith, apostle of the English, first Archbishop of Canterbury, born Rome; died Canterbury, England, 604. From the monastery of Saint Andrew, in Rome, Pope Gregory I, learning that the pagans in Britain were disposed to embrace the Faith, sent Augustine and his Benedictine brethren to instruct them. Augustine landed on the Isle of Thanet and was hospitably welcomed by AEthelberht, King of Kent, who, though pagan, was married to a Christian, Bertha. AEthelberht soon embraced the Faith, and on Christmas Day 10,000 of his people were baptized. Augustine went to Gaul to receive episcopal consecration from the Archbishop of Arles, and on his return, at a spot still called Augustine's Oak in Malmesbury, he convoked a synod of the Celtic bishops of southern Britain, in an unsuccessful attempt to introduce ecclesiastical uniformity in Britain. His remains were interred outside the church of Saints Peter and Paul, Canterbury, which he had begun. Feast, Roman Calendar, 28 May.

Medical tourism Procedure
Medical Tourism is also known as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel, Medical Value Travel, Healthcare Abroad, Medical Overseas, Overseas Medical, Surgery Overseas, Medical Outsourcing and Offshore Medical. Medical tourism can be described as a healthy holiday. In most cases, medical tourists are not your average vacationers opting for medical or cosmetic treatment, just because it is available, but patients with significant health concerns for whom the cost of their health-care is a primary concern and the vacation aspect a secondary one. Indeed, someone needing medical or cosmetic treatment would not go abroad if the `affordable healthcare` factor-quality of treatment, cost savings and wait time did not justify it. As long as you are healthy enough to travel, you stand to benefit from medical tourism's offerings.
Medical Tourism is a combination of wellness and healthcare coupled with leisure and relaxation which is aimed at rejuvenating a person mentally, physically and emotionally, drawing away from his daily routine to a relaxed environment in an exotic location. Medical Tourism is the process of traveling abroad to receive superior medical, and cosmetic care by highly skilled surgeons at some of the most modern and state-of-the-art medical facilities in the world. This means that those who choose medical tourism are able to utilize the services of some of the top surgeons in the world, all while enjoying exotic locales and accommodations. Patients can put the money they are saving on the procedure into turning their journey into a magnificent, world-class retreat. For millions of patients, it is the only way to get the needed or desired medical treatment, without wiping out their entire life-savings.
Many countries offer discount medical tourism world wide. Some of the best destinations for international medical tourism include India, Thailand, Singapore and Mexico. Central and South American countries like Costa Rica, Panama, Brazil and Argentina also have top quality medical expertise to offer but also have great travel destinations where one can enjoy a medical vacation. Cosmetic surgery clinics offer services in countries such as Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Venezuela.
There are three categories that can suit prospective patients:
Elective surgery - A large number of medical tourists seek out elective procedures such as cosmetic, plastic, dental and wellness treatments that are not covered by insurance plans.
Underinsured - As insurers cut back on their coverage and insurance costs increase, more individuals find themselves 'underinsured'. High deductibles, co-payments, out-of-pocket expenses, wait-lists and limited physician choices force many patients to seek out alternative treatments. Others find that the care they need is not covered under their insurance plans.
Uninsured - These individuals, many of which are self-employed, frequently find themselves delving into their hard-earned savings to finance their medical care. According to a Harvard study, half of personal bankruptcies are related to medical expenses. Thus, medical tourism is an increasingly popular solution among the uninsured population.
Research is the first step to successful medical tourism travel. Make sure that you do your research on the following:
The Procedure: Find out about the procedure and compare your expectations with what is achievable by the surgery. Also inquire about follow-up care needed, time required for recovery, physical therapy, etc.
The Hospital: When selecting the hospital that is right for your needs, you should consider the hospital`s accreditation, awards and recognitions, facility and equipments, statistics like success rates, etc.
The Surgeon: Check the certifications, training and repute of the surgeon who will be treating you.
The Destination Country: You should base your selection on quality, distance and cost.
Always work with your local doctor and inform him about your decision to travel overseas for treatment. You may need his assistance prior to the surgery for furnishing the health records required by the international hospital and post surgery for any follow-up checks that may be required.
Bring the following documents with you:
Medical Records: Medical records like X-Rays, MRI`s, health histories, photographs, immunization records, prescriptions, and any other health records relevant to the surgery. Remember to carry all these medical reports and any medicines in your carry-on luggage.
Passport and Visa: You will need a passport for yourself and your travel companion (if any). Depending upon the country you are traveling to, you may or may not need a visa. Check with your destination country`s embassy for the same.
Credit Cards, Debit Cards and Travelers Checks: Bring some local currency, travelers checks and one or two major credit cards and debit cards.
Driver`s license: Carry your driver`s license and make sure it will remain valid while you`re traveling.
For each document, make copies and leave one set of copies at a safe place at home.
Keep the following contact information handy:
1. Emergency contacts like relatives and friends
2. Destination embassy
3. Hospital
4. Hotel
5. Local surgeon / doctor
6. Employer
You should allow ample time for recovery after your surgery before you travel back home. Be prepared to stay longer when advised by your doctor. In some other cases, you may not need to stay for as long as was expected.
Medical tourism carries some risks that local medical procedures do not have. If complications do arise, patients might not be covered by insurance or be able to seek compensation via malpractice lawsuits. New insurance products are available that do protect the patient should a medical malpractice occur overseas. Some Medical Tourism destinations provide some form of legal remedies for medical malpractice. However, this legal venture is unappealing to the medical tourist. Advocates of medical tourism advise prospective tourists to evaluate the unlikely legal challenges against the benefits of such a trip before undergoing any surgery abroad.
Some countries, such as India, Malaysia, Costa Rica, or Thailand have different infectious diseases than Europe and North America, and different strains of the same diseases compared to nations such as the U.S., Canada, and the UK. Exposure to disease without having built up natural immunity can be a hazard for weakened individuals, specifically for gastrointestinal diseases (e.g Hepatitis A, amoebic dysentery, paratyphoid) which could weaken progress, also mosquito-transmitted diseases, influenza, and tuberculosis (e.g., 75% of South Africans have latent TB).
Travel soon after surgery can increase the risk of complications, as can vacation activities. For example, scars will be darker and more noticeable if they sunburn while healing. Long flights can be bad for those with heart (thrombosis) or breathing-related problems.
Since diseases run the gamut in poor tropical nations, doctors seem to be more open to the possibility of infectious diseases, including HIV, TB, and typhoid. There are cases in the West where patients were consistently misdiagnosed for years because such diseases are perceived to be "rare" in the West.
For hospitals and doctors seeking to provide Medical Tourism services, there is the risk of being sued by an unsatisfied patient, so medical indemnity services such as those provided by the Medical Protection Society are essential .

Remembering Pa Skipper, W.J.M. Skipper 1849-1938
"Pa Skipper was a strong man. But like the rest of us Skipper men, he became weak in his knees and legs as he got older but his upper body remained strong as a mule. And he was that strong until Pneumonia got him. He was 88 years old. I remember the funeral and everything. Daddy bought me a pair of little knee "britches" and a white shirt. One thing I remember about Pa Skipper (great grandfather) was he grew a great big long beard. It was white just like Santa Clause. About twice a year he would ask Jimmy (his son) to trim it for him. Boy, if Jimmy cut off to much, Pa would give him "what for"!!! He would say, "Jimmy !! Now you know you not supposed to cut off that much " !! But yes, we lived in the house with Ma and Pa and Momma took care of all of us". Quote: William Everett "Bill" Skipper, son of Roy Everett Skipper, Grandson of William J. "Jimmy" Skipper, Great Grandson of W.J.M. Skipper Recorded: July, 2012 in Delhi, La. By Ann Skipper Boykin
W J M SKIPPER was born 1849 in Henry Co. Alabama. He married Martha A. Lucas 1-30-1871. Bondsman was William Lucas. Lizzie was born 12-13-1871 in Henry County Alabama. The little Skipper family headed West and are found in Overton Texas in the 1880 Census. Lizzie has a sister, Maggie and brother William J. There were 12 children born to William J M and Martha Lucas Skipper but only 8 survived. 5 children were born in Texas and the last 2 in Bienville Parish, Louisiana.

Goransson's 'Inga' Crowned Queen of Talamone
5 June 2016
Talamone, Italy - A full round of congratulations are in order for Richard Goransson's Inga From Sweden along with tactician Vasco Vascotto and crew Giovanni Cassinari, Federico Michetti, Cesare Bozzetti, Marco Carpinello, Gosse de Boer and Alex Sinclair as they are the 2016 Sailing Series® Melges 32 Talamone Champions!
Relatively new to the fleet and obviously settling into Melges 32 competitive Class culture well, is second place overall Matteo Balestrero aboard Giogi with tactician Andrea Casale, and in third is Norway's Lasse Petterson sailing Pippa with Matteo Ivaldi calling tactics.
Two additional races were held on the final day of competition with the daily race wins going to Goransson, and Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino.
With a moderate 10-12 knots for the start of Race Six, Goransson had the race wrapped up with a virtual wire-to-wire win. Fritz Homann's Wilma held off Petterson to grab second.
The same dominating performance went for Onorato in Race Eight, with a great Russian chase between Pavel Kutznetsov on Tavatuy and Valentin Zavadnikov's Team SynergyGT for the runner up position. Although Kutznetsov was strong, his effort wasn't enough to hold off Zavadnikov's seasoned team which included Ed Baird on tactics. Zavadnikov eventually got the upperhand to win second over Kutznetsov finishing in third.
A big thank you goes to Circolo Nautico Talamone, BPSE and all the Melges 32 teams for making this event a great success.
The season is just beginning to unfold and the Class is anything by short on Champions. The 2016 Melges 32 European Championship, Act 4 of the Sailing Series® Melges 32 takes place next month in Riva del Garda on July 7-10. All teams should Register Online now!

Higher standards for education majors
College admissions to play big role
Higher standards for education majors
College admissions to play big role
The Legislative Finance Committee has a plan to get better teachers in more New Mexico classrooms.
A recent committee audit suggested universities and colleges offering an education major increase their admission standards for that major.
"When you look at other countries where the teachers are held to a higher standard and are well supported, the students always do better," said APS teacher's union President Ellen Bernstein.
The audit also suggests increasing starting teacher salaries and increasing the passing score to get a teaching license.
Officials say research shows teachers who do better on that exam end up having students who do better in school.


text: It was a weird day. It had rained about two inches in the two previous days. It had been so long since this has been done that no one knew how to act. While at church I was asked how this would change the fishing. Would it make them bite more or less? Would the clarity of the water be changed?

Colorado Bag 'N Baggage has your favorite designers too such as Vera Bradley, Hobo International, Lodis, Baggallini, Ellington Handbags and more. Colorado Bag 'N Baggage will make finding that perfect gift for mom really easy this Mother's Day.
Vera Bradley was started in 1982 when friend Patricia R. Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard were traveling together and noticed that there is not a great deal of baggage made specifically for women. It was then the two friends decided to make functional, soft luggage out of rich and colorful fabrics that change seasonally. Vera Bradly has grown to be nationally and internationally recognized without compromising style or quality.
I received the Vera Bradley Mandy style and All-In-One Wristlet in the Baroque pattern. You can check them out here at VeraBradley.com. I love the vibrant colors and how sturdy and well-constructed they are, and I can see them working great as a carry-on when I travel.
Other fun items for travel:
GoToobs — These refillable travel sive bottles are fun and functional! I love the built in suction cup that allows you to just stick them to the wall in the shower.
Good 2 Go Bags — The Good 2 Go bags make changing purses in a hurry so easy! You just transfer the contents of one purse to another all at once by moving the entire bag. They're also great for keeping large purses organized. No more digging for keys for five minutes just to unlock your car door!
B. Dazzle puzzles — My oldest boys love puzzles, and this was a great one to challenge them with! It's deceptively simple in appearance, but it took them quite awhile to figure it out. I was really impressed at how well they worked together on it without arguing.
One (1) lucky reader will win the same Vera Bradley items I received above, as well as a Go Toob, Good 2 Go set of a small, medium and large bags and B. Dazzle puzzle.
Total prize is valued at almost $210…!

Point Pleasant Beach Bars Now Open Until 2 A.M.
Point Pleasant Beach bars will be able to stay open until 2 a.m bringing an end to an heated battle between the town and Jenkinson's.
The Council voted to amend an ordinance that would have shut them down at midnight. The new closing time goes into effect immediately.
In December, the Council and Jenks reached an agreement in which the Council would allow the bars to resume 2A.M. closings in exchange for financial support to re-build the boardwalk which was damaged by Sandy.
"The agreement is that Jenkinsons and their entities have agreed to drop all litigation against the borough and they have stepped up and offered to pay up to a million dollars to repair our boardwalk. FEMA will pay a portion of it as well," said Pt. Beach Mayor Vincent Barella at the time.
The Council hopes to have the boardwalk up and running by Memorial Day Weekend.

|Powered by QM on a Linux server
KnowledgeBase 00025: Installing Multiple QM Environments on a Single Server
When setting up a shared server it may be important that users of one QM application are totally isolated from users of any other QM applications that are running on the same server. Although use of separate accounts and thorough enforcement of access permissions may help, it is not a total solution. For example, the shared memory lock tables are common to all accounts and hence it is not possible to ensure that use of task locks would not cause unwanted interactions between the accounts.
QM's user mode installation allows multiple separate instances of QM to run simultaneously on the same server. The installation mode gets its name from the fact that an installation of this type does not require root access. This feature is not available on Windows.
Each instance of QM in a user mode installation is totally isolated and separately licensed. The separate instances are identified by a numeric value that is formed from manipulation of the device and inode numbers of a hidden zero length file named .qmid in the QMSYS account directory. In the unlikely event that two instances have the same qmid value, starting the second instance will report an error. The .qmid file should be deleted and recreated.
Installation of a user mode system is performed exactly as for a standard installation except that the -u option should be given to the install script. It is essential that the PATH environment variable does not include a reference to the location of some other QM instance.
Network Access
The installation process will set the PORT and CLIPORT configuration parameters to zero, effectively disabling network connection to QM. If network connection is required, rather than only supporting entry to QM from the operating system shell, these parameters should be set to the appropriate port numbers assigned by the system administrator. Once set, the qmlnxd daemon must be restarted by use of the qm -restart command.
Because the qmlnxd daemon in a user mode installation runs as a standard user, not root, any QM processes started by it (telnet connections, QMClient sessions, qmrpl replication dameons, startup processes) will run as the user that started QM. Users entering QM from the operating system shell will run as the same user as their operating system login.
If direct network connections are allowed, user authentication for network users is performed using QM's own register of user names, maintained using the CREATE.USER and ADMIN.USER commands.
Although the different instances of QM running simultaneously are totally separate, it would be possible for users to set up VOC file pointers that reference the same file and then go on to open this file in two instances.
In the case of a directory file, the locking mechanisms will not be able to coordinate updates from the two isolated instances of QM and hence data integrity problems may occur.
In the case of a dynamic hashed file, the internal management of the file structure will be uncoordinated across the two instances and this will almost certainly lead to file corruption.

A Vision for My FatherThe Life and Work of Palestinian-American Artist and Designer Rajie CookRajie Cook
published 2018 9" x 10.75" • 344 pages • full-color throughoutISBN 9781566560320 • hardback • $35.00 •
Graphic designer Cook traces the influence of his Palestinian heritage on his artistic career... The son of Palestinian immigrants, Cook was born in Newark, N.J., and rose to prominence in the design world in the late 1960s as one half of Cook and Shanosky Associates, the design firm behind the universal pictograms adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation for use in signage in public spaces. Cook chronicles his childhood, early influences, and his work in corporate design. The focus of the book, however, is his transformation from commercial graphic designer to political artist, spawned by his first trip to Palestine in 1981, where he witnessed the anguish and wails of the Palestinian people. His art and design portfolio is easily the best part of the book, particularly the 80 pages showcasing the shadow box assemblages highlighting the emotional toll of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East on Palestinians. Publishers Weekly
"A powerful and poignant expression of the Palestinian narrative of exile weaving together the aesthetic and the personal story of longing for home. Rajie Cook's personal account is an intimate revelation of the special bond between father and son in the context of the Palestinian national identity and experience. This revelation emanates from an emotional identification with an attachment to the father as a visual and artistic celebration of creative expression. The narrative is therefore multifaceted; yet it unravels in the context of an exile in the West that is essentially discriminatory and dismissive of the humanity of the Palestinian people individually and collectively." —Dr. Hanan Ashrawi
A REMARKABLE JOURNEY INTO THE HEART AND MIND OF ACCLAIMED PALESTINIAN-AMERICAN GRAPHIC DESIGNER Rajie Cook is the son of Palestinian immigrants Najeeb and Jaleela Cook who came to the US in search of peace and opportunity for themselves and their family. This memoir is a tribute to them, but evolves into a narrative of how their son made his mark on the international stage of graphic design. For Rajie, art is an organic expression of what moves him, his art activism is his gift to the world. Sight, what we see and what we think we see, is a major theme in this narrative. On one level, Rajie gives sight back to his father who was blinded in the early 1930's by the ravages of cataract. Najeeb could not share in the excitement of Rajie's starting a graphic design firm that was acclaimed for its excellence. Najeeb could not see the symbols Rajie and his partner created which the world relies upon to navigate transportation symbols and public places. He died before "seeing" his talented son shake the hand of an American president. Perhaps Najeeb's greatest legacy was his love for Palestine. Rajie has shared his father's love for the Palestinian people, and began to travel to the Middle East. Now, using his art as his voice, his camera as a partner, Rajie has lifted the veil of what people see or think they see with regard to the Palestinian people. Some of his photographs are disturbing, his experiences equally unsettling because Rajie narrates the truth as he sees it. The pain of the Palestinian people cries out though Rajie's art and activism—the horror of the Occupation, the brutality of life that Palestinian children experience every day. Rajie wants the world to see what he has seen, and like his father before him, yearns for peace to come to this troubled and tortured region. The image of Najeeb sitting by his radio is replaced by the image of Roger working in his studio, both men wishing for a peace that seems forever elusive. His assemblages, posters, and artwork have been featured in art shows throughout the United States and internationally. Provocative yet truthful, Rajie's vision is recorded in his art. In his own words, "My art will be my voice long after I have gone. It will never be silenced."
Rajie Cook is an internationally recognized graphic designer, artist, and activist—and the son of Najeeb and Jaleela Cook from Ramallah, Palestine. In 1967, he cofounded Cook and Shanosky Associates, Inc., a design firm, in New York City. He and his colleagues received the Presidential Award for Design Excellence in 1984 for creating the universal pictograms that guide travelers through airports, train stations, and hotels. The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum acquired the Symbols Signs project in 2003. At 54, he made his first trip to Palestine. It was a life-changing, spiritual journey that turned him into a peace activist. Through poster art, sculptural assemblages, and film, he calls attention to the plight of the Palestinian people and the injustices they face. The father of two grown daughters, Rajie Cook lives in rural Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with his wife Peggy.

Summary and Context:
Today, we will continue with the genre of biographies. As I have shifted with the Common Core State Standards towards incorporating more informational texts in my ELA instruction, I have also realized how much technology and different digital media can ease this transition and make the learning fun for students. They need to learn to be critical users of technology resources, though. That's where we as teachers come in.
One way I am incorporating technology within this lesson to bolster the text reading we will be doing is by starting off the lesson with a short video of Martin Luther King's speech, "I Have a Dream." It is less than 6 minutes long. My intention in showing it is to expand their content knowledge not just about MLK, but also about the genre of biographies and people who changed the world. The students who chose to read about MLK are reading about how he delivered great speeches, and so, in showing the video, I wanted them to experience the speech first hand with more context than they would normally get. In sharing the speech, it also allows me to explain how a speech is considered a text and that speeches have much to teach us as well. Once we are done watching it, I will have a discussion about the message of his speech. Then, the students will write briefly about their own dreams.
I previewed it the speech before showing it. I wanted to make sure the content was appropriate for this grade level/age level, which I would encourage you to do as you strive to include video and other technology in your teaching.
After the video and discussion, I will gather the students on the rug. Today they will design posters of their historical figure based on their texts. I give them the guidelines they need to follow. They will use a bubble map to identify some key details of the lives of their historical figure. Afterwards, some students will share their posters with the class.
Lesson Opening:
I start with students on the carpet. I share the objective. I ask them what they have learned about biographies. I ask them to pair share before a few share with the class.
I bring the students to their tables. I review what the word speech means.
I show the video twice. The first time I want them to just enjoy it. The second time, I ask them to think about the words that repeat themselves because these words are clues that the author gives us about the message his speech is about. I have taught my students to distinguish between high frequency words and content words, so they hone in on words like "freedom" and "justice" rather than "the" or "and."
In this case, I mention the name of the speech and I ask them to pay attention to words that are connected to the title. In reviewing the title of the speech, it gives me the opportunity to help my students notice how titles are useful in helping us make meaning.
Here is the link and video:
After the video is seen the second time, I start a discussion with the question: "What was MLK's dream all about?"
I record their answers on the white board.
Then, I will give my students time to reflect on their own dreams for about 5 minutes. This helps them connect to the speech in a personal way and develop their schema for the important details they just internalized.
In watching this short video, I am showing my students that we gather information through different sources.
Here are examples of their dreams:
I gather the students on the rug to help them identify 3-4 key details about their historical figure. I let them know that they will draw a bubble map to organize their information. Then they will take the information from their bubble map to create the poster.
In order for them to find key details of their historical figure, I tell them that they will need to reread their books.
Before sending them off, finally, I review the video we watched on MLK. I stated how he changed the laws/lives for African-Americans. This would be a good time to model creating the bubble map if you think your students might need that additional support.
As students work, I walk around and offer support in how their historical figure changed the world, since for some this will be challenging.
Here are examples of their bubble maps:
Now they will take the information on their bubble map and create their poster. I bring the students back to the rug.
I explain the Checklist they will be using to create their posters. My students have not designed posters before or had the opportunity to organize information in this manner, and that is why I give them step by step directions.
I ask them to write the years these people lived because I want them to be able to know what that is and how to read it when they come across it.
My students are creating posters of well known figures, such as MLK or Dr.Seuss, and some are creating them of not so known figures, such as George Eastman. I made sure I offered them a wide variety of people to choose.
As I walk around, I check in with my students to make sure they understand the task: changing the lives of farm workers. Some students will need support with where the name of the person goes. Others will need reassurance of what they are doing. Others will need support to stay on task.
Now some of my students get to share their work with the rest of the class.
After the speakers share, they receive feedback. This is the system I use to make the process safe and fun:
Here is one of the speakers for today: MLKchangedthe laws.
This time on the rug allows me to bring closure to the lesson too.

UNION COUNTY, NJ — Parents and kids all over are using the app "Snap Chat," but are you sure it's safe? Did you know that there are features in the app that allow someone to follow you or your kids? It's called "Snap Map" and it allows users friends to see their exact location.
Snap Chat can be fun when used with caution, according to experts, but it's important to understand the app's privacy settings, such as "ghost mode," which allows you to turn off the ability for others see you or your child's location.
The Union County Sheriff's Department has created a video to show you how to set your privacy settings and keep you and your loved ones safe.
"Technology moves at such a fast rate we need to keep up with our children's safety," said Union County Sheriff Joseph Cryan. "If you have a teenager with Snapchat, please view this important short video."
Parents should never assume that what's posted on Snap Chat is private. Some argue that only your friends can see your avatar, which is correct. But look at the round circles of people, (not the blue dots) and you'll see that those are stories people posted publicly. You can see these even if you are not friends with them.
It's a feature that criminals, including human traffickers, burglars and kidnappers can take advantage of. Adjusting your privacy settings can help keep you and your loved ones safe.
Experts also argue that people often accept friend requests from others they don't know, making it easier for criminals to use social media to their advantage.

Timor-Leste: Press releases
UNICEF calls for protection of schools and learning spaces in Timor Leste
UNICEF is deeply concerned that children are once again the ones who suffer, said Shui-Meng Ng, UNICEF Representative in Timor-Leste. We urge the adults to consider the future of all their children before they continue their destruction of public properties and create further unrest. Without a safe environment, and without proper classrooms or learning spaces, all your children will be adversely impacted.
The school year started on 6 August, but learning has been disrupted in at least four districts. Reports from Baucau district indicate that at least three schools suffered damage to classrooms, while the child-friendly space run by a local non-governmental organization and supported by UNICEF, and where pre-school and youth programmes were conducted, was completely burnt down. As a result, all learning activities in the district have been suspended for fear of endangering schoolchildren.
Other districts such as Lautem, Liquica, and Manufahi also report similar threats and destruction of school buildings. A child-friendly space based in a camp for internally displaced persons in Dili was also vandalized yesterday.
UNICEF stresses that it is the right of every child to learn and to play. UNICEF urges the government, political leaders and all the people of Timor-Leste to create and maintain a peaceful and safe environment for children to protect their lives, their future and the future of the country.
About UNICEF
UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The worlds largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

Jessica Chastain slams Jennifer Lawrence feud rumours
Both stars are up for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2013 Academy Awards, with Chastain nominated for Zero Dark Thirty and Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook.
Rumours have spread suggesting the red-headed beauty has a vendetta against her younger rival after Lawrence cracked a joke about her while hosting Saturday Night Live last month (Jan13).
Now Chastain has addressed the reports, insisting she is a huge fan of Lawrence's work.
Taking to her Facebook.com page, she writes, "I find it very sad that media makes up bogus stories about women fighting in this industry. Filming The Help was the most amazing experience and yet, that is the film I'm most asked about in regards to 'fighting on set'. Why do we support the myth that women are competitive and cannot get along?
"I think all of the actresses recognised this year have given incredible performances. But more important, they've all shown themselves to be filled with generosity and kindness. I've done two photo shoots with Jennifer Lawrence over the years and have found her to be utterly charming and a great talent. I've told her how beautiful her film work is. Please don't allow the media to perpetuate the myth that women aren't supportive of each other. Every time an actress is celebrated for her great work, I cheer. For the more brilliant their performance, the more the audience demands stories about women. With support and encouragement, we help to inspire this industry to create opportunities for women. And as we all know: a great year for women in film, is just a great year for film."

Crystal's Entertainment Sparklesby Richard and Barry Wright | September 27, 2004
Crystal Serenity Photo Gallery
What is it about Crystal Cruises that makes a voyage aboard one of its ships so…well, entertaining? We sailed on Crystal's newest vessel, the 960-passenger Crystal Serenity, to find out. What we learned is that Crystal boasts the best nightlife in the luxury category; aboard these ships you'll find the most lavish costumed dancers plus a wide array of other entertainment options.
Crystal recently was chosen by Travel & Leisure magazine's readers in an annual poll as having the best service, and as the best line in the large ship category. The superlatives especially apply to the talent and the entertainment on Crystal, which is carefully targeted to the demographics of the line's upscale, sophisticated passengers.
Of particular note on our cruise was the dance team. Their original choreography to "Rhapsody in Blue" was exceptional. This was coupled with the dry and sometimes sardonic humor of the cruise director, Gary Hunter, as he and his cast of "dummy" characters bantered back and forth with his best ventriloquism artistry. The Crystal audience enjoyed him immensely -- and the audience is always the best barometer.
There was a show almost every night. One of the other highlights of evening's fare was vocal interpretation by Donald Cant, the baritone lead from the Australian company of "Phantom of the Opera," served up on two nights -- a little bit of something for everyone.
The London Symphony string quartet was another surprise, and a highlight of the Serenity's entertainment package. The group performed a classical repertoire of the highest quality, in the daytime and the evening, from teatime to pre-dinner. What a treat!
The cast of the production shows impressed us even more with their talent and energy. These are not your typical sequin-and-feather revues -- a great deal of time and money is spent on these presentations. It is obvious that Crystal considers this a high priority. Featuring themes like "Salute to the Gershwins" and "The Million-Dollar Musicals," the on-stage products are certainly impressive by any standard. The theater helps the shows' impact by providing them with all the most up-to-date lighting and sound technology.
The Cruise Director walked me through a short tour of the backstage one afternoon. As a performing artist all of my life, I found the infrastructure fascinating. Large motorized tracks keep scores of hanging costumes stored in an orderly manner, and arranged in sequence. There were two stories of feathered and beaded dresses and suits of all periods, shapes and colors. Because the ceiling isn't high enough to "fly" the sets for the shows (i.e., to raise and lower curtains and sets from a vaulted ceiling over the stage, as in a landside theater), everything has to be wheeled in from the wings (hopefully without running someone over during the frantic "cue calls"). I lost count of how many costume changes there actually were, but it was obvious that the costumes are of the highest quality, design and tailoring.
One new show that I hadn't previously seen was entitled "Chante." With well-thought-out sets, costumes and choice of music, it captured all the verve and excitement of a night out in "belle epoch" Paris. This French theme is always a crowd-pleaser, and would not be complete without the classic Maurice Chevalier piece and his trademark straw hat. The quintessential finale was the proverbial high-kicking, high-energy "Can-Can." Bravo!
As usual, Crystal also gave passengers plenty of "enrichment lecturers" on the cruise, to keep their minds occupied during the day with presentations often related to the ship's itinerary. Peter Solmssen gave an account of Monte Carlo and its history, while Professor Bulent Atalay's perspective of Leonardo DaVinci and Galileo was both informative and entertaining. Other speakers were simply interesting in their own right. The founder and first president of the Disney Channel, Jim Jimirro, captured everyone's imagination with his Mickey Mouse stories. All in all, it was a well-thought-out and varied choice of lecturers.
A special night of entertainment, saved for the end of the cruise, featured a separate and exclusive four-person cast presenting the hit 50's-themed musical "Forever Plaid." A whimsical and nostalgic production, it complimented the existing spectrum of entertainment.
In sum, Crystal's entertainment package remains a cut above the industry norm. Personally, I found little to criticize in its offerings on our Serenity cruise. That is obviously why Cruisemates readers voted the line "Best for Entertainment" in the luxury category.

Andy Murray to step up comeback
CNN/Stylemagazine.com Newswire | 10/21/2013, 1:39 p.m.
-- Andy Murray is set to step up his rehabilitation program by returning to practice next month.
The World No.4 underwent back surgery in September following a longstanding injury and was forced to pull out of the end of season ATP World Finals in London.
"Rehab is going to plan and he's aiming to be in Miami in mid-November," Murray's spokesman told CNN.
Murray is currently planning to play in an exhibition tournament in Barbados at the end of November before making a competitive return at the ATP 250 event in Brisbane in December.
The two-time grand slam winner has suffered with back injuries throughout his career and was forced to withdraw from this year's French Open in May before going on to triumph at Wimbledon.
Murray's failure to compete at Roland Garros was the first time he had withdrawn from a grand slam tournament since 2007 where a wrist injury prevented him from playing in the French capital.
Last month he failed in the defense of his U.S. Open title, losing out to Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka at the quarterfinals stage in straight sets.
He will hope to return to grand slam action in Australia next January before playing for Great Britain in its Davis Cup tie with the U.S. the following month.

Electronic music's Disclosure played to a massive Outdoor Theatre crowd Sunday night at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, again bringing out special guest Aluna Francis from the duo AlunaGeorge for the song "White Noise."
But before Francis arrived, the duo of Guy and Howard Lawrence kicked off their colorful set featuring numerous light displays with"When A Fire Starts To Burn" from the 2013 "Settle" to massive cheers.
Other songs included "Voices," "Grab Her!" and "You & Me," all of which appeared to please fans that appeared to spread out almost as far as Pharrell Williams' set did on Saturday.
Out one point, however, the energy appeared to lag and the the group yelled out "come on Coachella" during the song "You & Me."
Jordan Walker, of Phoenix said before the show the group was always a "good time."
"Last year I caught them at Coachella," Walker said of Disclosure. "I had fun."

ACC/Big Ten Challenge
No. 11 Maryland
@No.21 Nebraska
Wednesday, 8p.m.
The instant Brene Moseley planted her left leg and heard the familiar pop, she had no doubt. Maryland's promising sophomore point guard was out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Adding to the exasperation were the setting and circumstances: an intrasquad scrimmage at Comcast Center on Oct. 21 during which Moseley absorbed no contact when her knee buckled. Teammates did all they could to console Moseley, suggesting she try to walk. If the joint could withstand that impact, they figured, it might indicate a less severe prognosis.
Moseley refused.
"Everyone was trying to keep me calm and everything, but I knew," Moseley said several days later while watching practice and moving around on crutches. "I knew. It just didn't feel right. I didn't even want to put pressure on it when I first did it because I was scared it was going to feel like this one."
Moseley pointed to her right knee as she spoke. She had endured similar pain during her junior year at Paint Branch High School, where she was a first-team All-Met after leading the area in scoring. Then in the spring, Moseley tore multiple ligaments in her right knee during an Amateur Athletic Union evaluation, scrapping her final high school season.
It wasn't until almost the end of her freshman season at Maryland that Moseley regained full range of motion and was able to play at top speed, cutting and darting and finding teammates for open shots without mind to her surgically repaired joint.
With Moseley at full health and set to take over as the starting point guard, the then No.5 Terps entered this season committed to nothing short of advancing to the Final Four. That remains in their plans, but the process won't include Moseley, at least not on the court.
She is in the early stages of recovery and rehabilitation after surgery Nov.2, and according to medical professionals with extensive knowledge of ACL procedures, it might require an additional 18 months before Moseley can perform without limitations.
"It's going to be a lot of teachable moments for her this year in terms of the point guard responsibilities, being able to teach her from the bench, especially going into next season," Maryland coach Brenda Frese said recently.
The ACL is a ligament in the knee that crosses from the bottom of the femur to the top of the tibia to help stabilize the joint, and so many notable athletes have had a tear — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose are recent examples — that it has become a regular part of the sports vernacular.
Maryland has become all too familiar with the terminology as well. This year, quarterbacks C.J. Brown, Perry Hills and Caleb Rowe tore their ACLs, as did starting linebacker Demetrius Hartsfield. Essence Townsend, a reserve center for the women's basketball team, tore hers Nov. 5 in the second half of the Terps' exhibition game against Goldey Beacom.
While male athletes tearing ACLs often command more prominent headlines, women are at greater risk for such injury, based on findings from a study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine in January 2000.
The study tracked, among other subjects, male and female varsity athletes at the Naval Academy from 1991 to 1997 and determined that female intercollegiate basketball, soccer and rugby players were nearly four times more likely than their male counterparts to incur ACL damage.
There are several theories as to why the disparity exists, according to Dr. A. Brion Gardner, a Manassas, Va.-based orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine who has performed nearly 300 ACL procedures.
A variation between men and women in the size of the notch where the ACL crosses the knee joint may be a factor, he said.
Hormonal and biomechanical differences also are considerations.
Regardless of gender, a complete ACL procedure lasts approximately two to three hours, although the actual repair of the ligament requires roughly an hour to 90 minutes. Patients generally leave the hospital the same evening, and rehabilitation begins as soon as the next day.
Moseley's procedure was scheduled for noon, but she was running late to Baltimore's Kernan Hospital. Getting lost on the way didn't help.
"It was all right, though," Moseley said. "We improvised."
She managed to arrive only a half-hour behind schedule, and the operation went smoothly, Moseley said, except for the long time it took for her to emerge from anesthesia. Her parents, Beatrice and Eugene Moseley, were there when she awoke, as was her grandmother.
It was around 11 p.m. by the time Moseley, still a bit groggy, got back to College Park. The next morning at 9, she was at Comcast Center starting rehabilitation while the rest of the team practiced.
An early milestone during ACL rehab is achieving full leg extension within the first several weeks. Moseley was able to reach 80 degrees the day after surgery, which she called "amazing." Since the operation, Moseley also has been performing exercises to strengthen leg muscles weakened from lack of use immediately after the tear.
Having gone through one ACL rehab, Moseley is fully aware what to anticipate in the long term, and simply going to the gym to be with her teammates is inspiration enough, she says, to keep her on track to be back by the start of next season.
Game days are another matter.
"Yeah, I miss the court," Moseley said. "But my position on this team has changed, so I've just got to move with that. It's just adversity I'm facing and the team is facing. As my role has changed, I've just got to keep motivating my teammates for them to get better."

We have created an in house(only in house because not ready for prime time) module for creating a directory. We have it working by creating the directory and link within a comment. This is less than ideal because it creates this comment/link/directory for all issues/bugs/etc. We would like to improve on it by making it a button which you can push if you want an issue to have a directory. None of us are php programmers and can quite figure out how to do this, also have some time constraints. Just to explain why we think we needed this is because we often drop shell scripts in these directories and using the current file system does not work well for running these scripts from a directory.
I'm more than willing to share the code for this module if someone is interesting in helping us improve this. Or if you can just give me guidance on how to do this button/link part.
thank you,

Re: Help with improving a module
Did you find the solution? Because I have a similar problem
Different games are beautiful because of bugs on it. It can be very funy or very useful. But often these bugs only can annoy you
