This is my expanding list of some of the most overused words and phrases that truly ought to be retired. Some charities and activists have plugged relatively huge direct quotes into infographics applications to make photos to use on their websites. The hours will be between 4 to five hours every day which can be increased if you want and this will give you free time to go on with your typical job, Below are information of what you expected from this job position. It also offers competitive & industry evaluation, access to company news and press releases and a view into insider transactions. That was my miss, but that is in fact more of a stock industry miss than an economic miss.
Presently, we have a quite basic education technique that does not have linkages to the evolving job market. What I imply by saying so, is that there has been an evolution, alter and shift of paradigm of news gathering, dissemination, presentation, consumption in every which way we can picture from the previous up to the the present technological society. A excellent internet site to begin such a list or hub.. I never know what you contact it.. is – one particular of my favorites. The stories come from a wide variety of sources and so you will locate interesting new web sites.
Researchers at iSIGHT and Invincea released specifics this week of a malware campaign that they claim saw Chinese hackers targeting workers in the defense sector and economic sectors – by way of the much-visited Forbes site. Deciding what is news has taken on a new type and operation, and as the technologies evolve, so will the choice as to what news is be affected and reflected by the consumers and disseminators of the latter day pc/technological societies we now live in. As far as this year, hedge funds as a group are underperforming mutual funds and marketplace indexes.
At the very same time, a handful of English-language, Hispanic-oriented news web sites such as Latin Post are trying to locate a place in the industry. Every thing I have supplied above is free of charge, although a handful of of them provide paid services above and beyond what most of us need. Right now, the a lot more inventive you can be in you work, the better, Lynn Berger wrote a book that will give you the edge over other portion-time job seekers in the marketplace proper now, on of her tips is hardly used but incredibly successful. The finance market is represented far more than any other on the news websites studied.
I worry 1 of the news industry's greatest troubles is that presentation of so numerous headlines enables scanning behavior. Acquiring and selling- Find issues men and women don't want and sell them at your personal garage sale, flea industry or ebay. A common economic web site is bound to have a mobile app for 1 of their services. To make it even easier to figure out which penny stocks are at present hot, Investors Hub provides a continuously updating list of the prime fifteen most active discussion boards. China's ill-advised stock market place intervention lately blew up in China's face.

Since the E61, I have used the iPhone, and Blackberry 8820 both of which didn't support blue tooth Dialup networking features. Now that Im testing out the Blackberry 9000 Bold, I had to make sure that it can be turned into a mobile modem. Im happy to report that it does!
I followed the same setup sequence as the Nokia E61, which I described here "Ubuntu dialup via bluetooth" The modifications are as follows:
The device address would obviously be different, so you will need to do
# hcitool scanTest that the phone has the required features, and find out the Channel number:

comment "yky phone";
rfcomm bind 0 00:21:06:FD:5C:AB 1This will create the /dev/rfcomm0 modem file.
Now here comes the part which took me a while to figure out. I just ran wvdial BB with the same settings as with e61, but ran into this error:
--> Initializing modem.I noticed that whenever a command is at Init3 in the /etc/wvdial.conf file, the dialer will fail, and the modem will never return a "OK". So remove all Init commands except for the single most crucial one, which is the AT+CGDCONT one at Init2:
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATM0
ATM0 <-- here is the error: No "OK" received
--> Sending: ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: ATM0
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Transport endpoint is not connected
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
[Dialer Defaults]I have added two more lines in the config file. "Stupid Mode" is required. Otherwise for some strange reason, the authentication process will not start. "New PPPD" is optional, it starts a new PPP Daemon on connection.

New PPPD = yes

Now, it should run without a problem:

--> primary DNS address 10.213.17.1
Dialup works via the command line. Ctrl-C kills the connection.
Now that Im trying out KDE, I wanted to see if KDE's dialer would make things easier. So I ran "kppp"
Click on "Configure", and "Add" a new Account. Skip the Wizard. In the "Dial" tab, enter in
Connection name: maxisYou dont have to modify anything else, so click OK.
Phone number: *99#
Authentication: PAP/CHAP
Check the "Store Password" checkbox
Then in the "Modems" tab, click "New...". In the "Device" tab, enter in these details:
Modem name: BBIn the Modem tab, click on "Modem Commands ..."
Modem device: /dev/rfcomm0
Flow control: Hardware [CRTSCTS]
Line Termination: CR
Connection speed: 115200
Use lock file: checked
Modem timeout: 60 sec
Just add in Initialization string 2: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","unet"You can try out the modem by clicking on "Query Modem..." but I just got blank fields for AT1 ... AT7.
The other default values should be OK. Click "OK"
Now that you've defined the Account and Modem device, you can try to connect. Use
Login ID: maxisIt should work, sometimes it hangs at setting the modem volume, but a quick reconnect knocks it into order. You should then be rewarded with a screen like this:
Password: wap
and click on "Connect"
So a nice GUI dialer also works too!

In Asia, a growing middle class, changing consumption patterns arising from the new Asian wealth, and changing social behaviour enlarging disposable income have combined to boost consumer spending and create many investment opportunities.
While the rest of the world either stagnates or contracts, growth in Asia continues to accelerate. Invesco's Asian Consumer Demand Fund, launched on March 25, aims to tap into this increased Asian consumer activity, and at its helm is William Yuen. Excerpts from an interview:
Invesco already has nine funds investing in Asia. Why another?
We would like to offer our investors the "choice" of participating in the exciting growth outlook of the Asia region depending on their investment objective and risk tolerance levels. Within the product offering there are broad-based regional funds, sub-regional funds, country-specific funds, thematic funds and more conservative balanced funds. Each of the Asia-related products will be different to each other and will offer exposure to the fast growing Asia region through very different channels. So, in a way, the choice is there for our many investors.
We have been offering new products that are tied specifically to investible Asian themes such as Asian infrastructure and now Asian consumer demand, as we firmly believe we are only at the beginning of each of these unique secular trends.
What is different about this fund?
The Invesco Asia Consumer Demand Fund specifically targets the dramatic rise of the three billion Asian consumers living in the Asia (excluding Japan) region and how such Asian companies can benefit from this fast moving reality.
The difference of this fund is that we look to invest in Asian companies that directly deal with the end consumers through either goods or services. We invest in Asian consumer demand related companies that don't depend on global growth conditions, which are weakening fast, and the financially stretched global consumers.
Instead, we are riding on a fast growing Asian economic region, where not only are government finances strong (which can provide more stimulus to the already strong consumer spending trends), but Asian corporate and Asian consumers are equally powerful and strong. Asian consumers have been saving too much and borrowing too little relative to their income earning capabilities. Even at such an early stage of the uptrend, we expect the Asian consumers will be contributing close to $3 trillion (Dh11trn) to the Asian economies.
What exactly are the investment themes of the consumer demand fund?
We take a broad definition in what is considered stocks that will benefit from the booming Asia consumer demand trend. We take the view that any consumers, such as you and I, with direct access to either through goods or services on a regular basis are investment candidates. This will stretch from the day-to-day necessities such as food, to discretionary spending such as cars, fashion, electronics and all the way up to lifestyle needs such as healthcare and leisure.
In addition, we will focus on financial services companies that will enhance, protect and prolong not only current spending of Asian consumers, but future spending as well. The selection is there, as we join the rise in purchasing power from the three billion Asian consumers. We are looking at three distinct themes.
First is the rise of the China consumer. Consumer spending in China is growing alongside rising income levels from better job prospects from the sustainable economic growth. The middle-income group is on the rise and the shift away from necessity spending to discretionary lifestyle spending is propelling a new wave of consumer spending. Equally, the current generation is spending on things that the previous generation has only dreamed of.
Second is the Indian wireless services. Penetration is still low at around 20 per cent – or 200 million subscribers – as at the end of 2007 relative to the world and China. Assuming India can reach the level we are seeing in China as at the end of 2007 – around 40 per cent penetration – there will be an addition of more than 200 million subscribers.
The third is financial services in Asia. Similar to many products and services targeting Asian consumers, the adoption rate of financial services is generally low relative to the developed world. Asian consumers are saving too much and borrowing too little relative to their income earning capabilities – potential will be there for a consumer to enhance consumer spending through credit. Also, insurance services are a new concept to the majority of Asian consumers – the potential to protect their assets. Finally, the introduction to wealth management services and brokerage services will prolong their spending well into the future.
Other themes that can be applied across Asia are: travel and leisure, healthcare services and specific educational services.
What is your approach to selecting companies? Do you rely on local expertise or does your team make visits to selected companies?
The portfolio will be constructed by applying a rigorous bottom-up stock selection process. We don't have country constraints or sector constraints; we don't aim to replicate any benchmarks – although we have a reference benchmark, the MSCI AC Asia-Pacific ex Japan index, for monitoring and risk management purposes.
Top-down outlook will also be observed, but as a way of complementing our focus on bottom-up stock selection. We will typically look for firms that exhibit characteristics such as EPS growth that is higher than the reference benchmark, strong balance sheet, industry-leading business franchise and superior management. In selecting Asian consumer demand related companies, we will use the investment professionals based in our Hong Kong office to complement the two fund managers of the Asia Consumer Demand Fund.
Each of the investment professionals will have specific Asia country coverage that we can tap into and analyse industry trends and specific fundamentals of the companies. Ultimately, the lead fund manager, me, and co-manager Samantha Ho, will find the best consumer demand stocks for the fund.
A strong part of our investment process is our strong belief in visiting and meeting companies on a regular basis.
Through the 13-plus investment professionals, we will make regular visits to our targeted companies to get an in-depth understanding of what is happening to the company on the ground.
We will also make visits to the markets and end-points that these companies target within the Asia region.
We want to ensure the end-customers these consumer demand companies are targeting are a worthwhile in an investment sense. Finally, we believe strong fundamentals will drive share price performances.
What is the outlook for Asia, and which sectors of the economy will continue to grow irrespective of the economic slowdown in the United States?
Despite negative headwinds arising from the US economy, we feel Asia is relatively more resilient and will continue to offer growth higher than many developed countries. Asian economies are generally fast growing, government finances are in good shape; together with healthy Asian corporate and consumers, the outlook remains bright.
We feel sectors that are driven by domestic demand, and not global economic conditions, are the best way to mitigate the impact of a US economic slowdown. Asia Infrastructure and Asia Consumer Demand sectors are the most obvious choices that are predominantly driven by the strong domestic economic conditions.
How will the slide in the US dollar affect earnings and growth?
The general slide in the US dollar is more of a function of the weakening fundamentals of the US economy and the expectation of easing of US monetary policy. Against this backdrop it is generally perceived to be mildly positive for the Asia region, as the easing environment and weakening dollar will add liquidity to the region, at a time when Asian fundamentals are strong.
There will be a different impact to Asian earnings as a result of the weakening of the dollar, but we don't see it as any major driver, either way. A strengthening Asian currency against the dollar will have a positive impact on a consumer.
What is your take on the recent gyrations in the Asian stock markets? If the US sneezes will Asian markets catch a cold?
Unfortunately, Asian stock markets still take clues from the direction of the US stock markets, despite the very clear positive trend that Asian economies, corporate and consumers are all in far better shape than their counterparts in the United States.
The recent correction seen in the Asian markets have meant that, while fundamentals remain firm, Asian stocks are trading at much more attractive levels on a valuation basis. In particular, the consumer demand related companies continue to exhibit strong earnings growth potentials that are more than two times the average of the Asia-Pacific region.
Most of these companies depend on our own three billion Asian consumers.

Look who is meal planning again! WHAT WHAT!
Yea… I said "what what"… I wrote it… I almost deleted it… But no. It needed to be there, cause I'm excited to be meal planning again!
The holidays were fun… and fattening… and they are now OVER. Time to readjust and get back to healthy eating habits.
I actually started meal planning again this past weekend, but didn't get a chance to write up my plan. Also, I've changed a few things around. I would drive myself crazy planning several different lunches and dinners for the week, in order to accommodate my family members with differing tastes and a disdain for eating too many left overs. No more. I need to take care of ME. My engagement party is around the corner and my wedding is in 297 days (but who's counting)! I actually don't mind having the same lunch every day for a week, as long as I don't repeat that every single week. My Sundays were spent cooking up a storm and not enjoying my weekend. As you will see from these new meal plans, I will be repeating my lunches every day of the week, but every week will be different.
I'm becoming more strict with what I eat and trying to simplify as much as possible. This girl here has a career, a wedding to plan and *hopefully* will be house hunting soon… Simplicity is needed for my sanity.
You are going to notice a lot of SkinnyTaste recipes… Why? Cause they are AWESOME!! Please go check that site out! She makes the most delicious recipes… I have tried several and they are delicious. Here is the link for this week's lunch recipe… SkinnyTaste Baked Spaghetti Squash
There will be some days that I double up on my Shakeology shakes… That will happen on nights that I get home late and don't have time to prep a meal. If you are interested in Shakeology feel free to email me with questions!!!
I hope everyone has a great week!

Progressio is governed by a board of trustees who provide strategic direction and guidance through regular board meetings, involvement in sub-committees, and individual support for particular initiatives in their areas of expertise. Trustees are initially elected to the board for three years but many serve for longer.
Martin McEnery (Chair)
One of the most powerful experiences of my life came when I helped a group of five women in Islington run a housing association. We used to meet once a week just to commiserate with one another. But gradually they organised themselves into a tenant-managed co-operative which is today a multi-million-pound organisation.
Working this way, empowering people, helps people to be more effective, to realise their potential, to get more control over their lives. It gives them a huge sense of achievement.
This way of working is one of the things that drew me to Progressio. You can't give power to people. They have to develop it themselves. Working with people to help them be more effective is what Progressio does and I think it's a great model.
My experiences throughout my life and career have shown me that resources are unevenly spread across the world; that poverty needs to be dealt with proactively; that having power gives us responsibilities; and that many of the things that we can now do through the wonders of technology may prove to be unsustainable.
We find ourselves at a crucial stage in the life of our planet. Progressio may not be as large as some development agencies, but in facing these challenges, I believe we have a great opportunity to help bring about change.
Martin is a barrister who has also worked for 20 years in management consultancy in the UK, Europe, Africa and India, including work with DFID in a number of countries. He has three grown-up children and lives in east London.
Michael Doris (Treasurer)
Michael is a qualified accountant and works in finance for a major bank; he has spent the last few years working in a variety of countries across the world from Brazil to India and Hong Kong and has experience with large scale projects.Michael has also previously spent much time in Latin America working in Ecuador and Bolivia and speaks Spanish and Portuguese.
His interest in Progressio comes from a desire to give people the tools to help themselves and protect basic human rights.
Rocco Blume
Rocco is currently the Deputy Head of Advocacy Campaigns and Research at Plan International UK and leads their advocacy and policy work on girls' rights, gender-based violence and humanitarian policy. He has many years of experience of programme and advocacy work at Christian Aid, Oxfam, Merlin and Medecins sans Frontieres. Whilst at Christian Aid he facilitated African civil-society leaders to influence the AU, UN and US and UK administrations at key junctures in the Sudanese and Ugandan peace processes.
Belinda Calaguas
Belinda first got involved in the fight for justice, peace and democracy in her native Philippines during her teens when Martial Law was declared. In Britain since 1993, she has coordinated and advocated for migrant and refugee community groups in her roles as Head or Director of Policy and Campaigns at WaterAid, ActionAid-UK and ActionAid International. She has an MSc on Social Policy & Administration from LSE. She sings in a community choir and enjoys hand embroidery.
Jean Casey
Jean has over 10 years' experience working in the NGO sector and has a Masters in International Development, specialising in gender. She is a social researcher with a special focus in the area of young women's rights, and a former Progressio development worker who spent 6 years in Nicaragua. She is currently lead researcher and project coordinator for state of the world's girls report at Plan International.
Lynda Kerley
Lynda has 20 years of development experience in country leadership, programme management and civil society strengthening. Currently a freelance consultant, she has had senior positions with Oxfam, Christian Aid and Norwegian People's Aid.
Ranila Ravi-Burslem
Ranila is a senior commercial marketer with over 15 years' experience of working with well-known charities such as ACEVO and RNID. Until recently she was at Charities Aid Foundation with responsibility for growing and developing the brand and customer base globally. She was also a board member at One World Action for five years which gave her a good grounding in gender and development issues. Having been born and educated in India, she is passionate about enabling women to have a strong voice politically, economically and socially. She is currently working as an independent strategy and marketing consultant.
Chris Smith
As a student, I was greatly influenced by the radical Catholic ideas of the Dominicans. For them religion and politics are intimately linked and both should be practically applied to change the world for the better. On qualifying, I went to work as a medical officer in northern Malawi with the Medical Missionaries of Mary.>
I became a member of Progressio because I share their view that development should be about empowering others as equals, rather than giving aid. And I think Progressio offers an important Catholic identity within the church because of its global political interpretation of Catholic social teaching.
A trustee since 2008, I bring to Progressio a non-expert view from the practical parish level, where I've been involved in Justice and Peace, Traidcraft and Fairtrade activities. I hope to support Progressio as it seeks to find new ways to engage with supporters and campaigners.
Chris is a GP. He has two grown-up children and lives in west London.
Kevin Tunnard
Until recently Kevin was Operations Director at the Richmond Fellowship. Early on in his career he went to Nicaragua as a volunteer for the CIIR and worked his way up to managing the Latin American programme. Kevin then spent 16 years working in community and economic development with disadvantaged people in Britain. He has maintained an interest in international development issues and recently visited Cuba. Kevin is also a non-parent governor of a local children's nursery. He has been on the Board since September 2012.
Carolyn Williams
It was the self-reliance of Mexican peasant farmers I met as a 19-year-old student of Latin American politics that first sparked my commitment to work with local communities in the South. Receiving no government or international support, the farmers themselves were making their cooperatives work.
Progressio's development workers live in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, working full-time with partners in a two-way dialogue, rather than slipping into the assumption that they alone should have the knowledge, expertise or solution to any given problem.
A trustee since 2008, I try to make sure we constantly interrogate ourselves on our aims and approaches. For example, some inequalities are considered less relevant by most international development agencies, such as those based on race, ethnicity, culture or sexuality, but they prevent full citizenship, participation and well-being.
Carolyn is an independent consultant specialising in gender, sexuality, development and Latin America. Holding a PhD from the LSE's Gender Institute, she combines academic research, programme consultancy and translation work. She lives in south London.

My Dear I Wanted to Tell You: A Novel
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Louisa Young
Narrated By: Dan Stevens
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Date: May 2014
Duration: 10 hours 49 minutes
The lives of two very different couples—an officer and his aristocratic wife, and a young soldier and his childhood sweetheart—are irrevocably intertwined and forever changed in this stunning World War I epic of love and war.
At eighteen years old, working-class Riley Purefoy and "posh" Nadine Waveney have promised each other the future, but when war erupts across Europe, everything they hold to be true is thrown into question. Dispatched to the trenches, Riley forges a bond of friendship with his charismatic commanding officer, Peter Locke, as they fight for their survival. Yet it is Locke's wife, Julia, who must cope with her husband's transformation into a distant shadow of the man she once knew. Meanwhile, Nadine and Riley's bonds are tested as well by a terrible injury and the imperfect rehabilitation that follows it, as both couples struggle to weather the storm of war that rages about them.
Moving among Ypres, London, and Paris, this emotionally rich and evocative novel is both a powerful exploration of the lasting effects of war on those who fight—and those who don't—and a poignant testament to the enduring power of love.

Cj Smith, IUP
When I was a boy around the age of 5, I used to say the word nigga a lot and continue to do so to this day. I guess it's because I watched too much T.V. or because I would hear adults around me saying it. I stopped saying it for a while but no one ever told me why I shouldn't use that word until I got older and by that time, I was already saying it everyday. However when I did learn where the word came from I couldn't believe it. I looked at my teacher and thought to myself, "this nigga crazy."
The word nigga is a word that is used a lot in today's pop-culture. When we (black people) say nigga, we either use it as a general term like how other people say dude, or we might use it as a term of endearment. Oftentimes, say things like, "Wassup nigga" or "you my nigga" without it being a thought. Some people think that this is a serious issue in the black community and some people don't have a problem with using the word. Personally, I'm one of those people who don't have an issue with the word.
Over the years we've given this word too much power. Both variations of the word are given way more power than they deserve. Its use has stretched far past a typical conversation between two black people. It is used in music, movies, and in television shows. Of course most of us are familiar with the show The Boondocks and how one of the main characters, Riley, used the word at least 8-10 times in each episode he was featured. The show's creators, known for their controversial episodes, even took it a step further and did a parody of an actual news report of a teacher saying ''nigga'' to one of his students. However, in the actual news report the teacher tried to justify himself using 'nigga' by saying that it isn't racist because he used the slang term nigga as opposed to using its harsh counterpart, nigger.
With that being said, let's move to the problem we have with white people saying it. Ever since our ancestors were slaves, nigger was the term was used to degrade and demean them. The problem people have with the word nigga is the matter of where it comes from. Since nigga comes from nigger, it's easy to understand why some people don't feel strong about the word. But where does the word nigger come from? It was originally used to degrade black people but in essence it comes from the Spanish word, Negro, which translates to black. Another way to look at it is like this- nigga is the slang term of nigger and nigger is a word that is offensive to black people and nigger comes from negro which means black, but a lot of people will speculate that nigger originally came from the ethiopian word negus, which means "king" or "emperor." With that being said, who's to say that they're wrong?
But at the end of the day there's still the argument on whether or not white people can say the word nigga. I mean we all know people are saying it in a comfortable environment, but why can't they say it in a public setting? I mean if we're walking around saying "wassup my nigga" and we're using it as a term of endearment, what exactly is the problem with other people saying it and meaning the same thing? Personally I don't have a problem with it, but I do believe that people of other races should be very careful if they decide to go down that road. The problem I have is when people decide to add the -er. It's not easy to ignore when you know where this word comes from and know how and why it was used. But think about this for a moment. We as black people have taken a word that was used to demean and degrade us as human beings and twisted it into a word we can use to be inviting in everyday conversation.
On one hand it's a positive thing because it's truly "our word" and as we've seen in the past anyone else caught using it usually gets in trouble. On the other hand is this something that we truly want? Should we embrace a word that comes from a word that brought upon disgrace followed by pain, anger, and shame? Why are we proud to say nigga? Like I said before, no word should have this much power, but at the end of the day it has this power because it comes from hate. So in order to diminish the hate that comes with this word, we shouldn't give it any power.

As a software developer, systems architect, director and founder, I enjoy designing and helping build release engineering infrastructure that is practical, reliable, cross-platform, scalable and efficient. I'm comfortable in ill-defined, high-pressure situations, writing code and leading teams in organizations ranging from fast-growth startups to non-profits to multinationals - including in the US government, as part of the U.S. Digital Service. In addition to technology, I love growing a culture where distributed teams work seamlessly together no matter where they are physically in the world. So far, every company I've worked in, and most teams I've led, have been distributed. The most extreme was a team I grew and led at Mozilla - a tightly knit team of 18 humans in 14 cities, in 4 non-adjacent timezones working with the geo-distributed Mozilla open source project. At pre-IPO Hortonworks, the team was in 4 cities, in 3 non-adjacent time zones, working closely with the geo-distributed Apache Hadoop open source project. I enjoy mentoring fast-growing distributed teams and am currently writing a book on leading distributed teams. The combination of these technical and cultural improvements are force multipliers - improving productivity and retention of developers, while also shipping better software in a more predictable, timely manner are competitive advantages to organizations. In some cases, these improvements also created new strategically important and profitable revenue streams.

MATCH International Women's Fund: Grants for Human Rights/
OVERVIEW: The MATCH International Women's Fund awards grants to women-led organizations that fight for gender equality and the rights of women living in the Global South.
IP TAKE: MATCH pays particular attention to grassroots groups applying innovative methods to combat gender inequality. Open calls for proposals and a large geographic focus suggest grant seekers should expect competition for MATCH grants.
PROFILE: In 1976, Norma Walmsley and Suzanne Johnson-Harvor created Canada's first international NGO to concentrate on the rights, empowerment, and sustained development of women, girls and trans people living in the Global South. Created in 2013, the MATCH International Women's Fund—or simply, the MATCH Fund—is an outgrowth of MATCH International. The MATCH fund was created, in part, to create a "[d]irect way to get money and resources into the hands of women's rights organizations at the grassroots level." The fund supports women's and trans rights groups at large. It provides scale-up funding for female entrepreneurs to accelerate and scale social innovations that "[p]romote equality and human rights." MATCH awards grants based on two major themes: Holding Ground and Breaking Ground.
Holding Ground grants are awarded to women's organizations that promote and sustain women's rights, justice, and equality around the world. This program supports organizations that experience public backlash related to its services and programs. Grants out of this area also go toward organizational capacity building. The second grant making theme, Breaking Ground, supports women's organizations that foster systematic change through innovation and collaboration. Grants are also awarded for capacity building efforts.
The MATCH Fund announces open calls for proposals once a year—though that open call is subject to change, so revisit the deadlines often. Women-led organizations are eligible to apply for MATCH Fund grants, which range from $10,000 CAD to $20,000 CAD.

Halfpenny in for a pound! None shall pass Wales' fearless tackler in Six Nations title defence
Ask Leigh Halfpenny to define the word 'defence' and he comes back with a three-word motto handed down by his grandfather: none shall pass.
The only problem with that maxim is the human body cannot always cope with his inhuman courage.
Halfpenny effectively stopped England winning the Six Nations Grand Slam with his chin last year when he threw his head at David Strettle in the dying seconds to prevent a try.
He remembers waking up in the away changing room and seeing Sam Warburton with a shiny plate that turned out to be the Triple Crown.
On a mission: Halfpenny hopes to help Wales retain their Six Nations crown
More recently against Australia, as
Wales crashed to a fourth defeat of a bleak autumn, Halfpenny left the
field on a stretcher (only after the final whistle, mind) and spent the
night in hospital.
awkward, early hit on his neck left one side of his upper body numb but
he kept playing. 'I couldn't feel my left arm for half an hour but I
wasn't prepared to leave the pitch,' he explains, as if this is normal.
in the last minute he tried to halt Kurtley Beale's final assault any
way he could. 'At the time my left shoulder was basically hanging off so
I was just trying to avoid tackling with it, but I got my head in the
middle instead.'
At the hospital he needed a sedative to get through the MRI scan but thankfully there was no lasting damage. The experience has not changed his tackling philosophy, but it has seen him work on his technique.
In the line of duty: Halfpenny regularly puts his body on the line for Wales
'When I was growing up my grandfather use to always say 'none shall pass' so that's what I always think about. Being the last line of defence means your team relies on you. Players come at you with pace and momentum so there are usually a few big collisions.
'My technique is something I've looked at in training. I've tried to improve on both my shoulders in open-field play, making sure I'm getting the man down. But during the game it is 100mph and you've only got that split second. It's whatever gets that player down.'
It would seem Welsh rugby owes an
enormous debt to Halfpenny's grandfather Malcolm, the same man who
famously took him to the pitches of Gorseinon to practise his kicking
after school.
Coaches are consistently blown away by Halfpenny's professionalism.
team-mates at Nando's for a low-fat, high-protein feed is about as
devious as he gets with his time off. He always trains on Christmas
morning ('but only for an hour') and he spent yesterday's day off doing
more analysis of opponents on his laptop.
Ahead of kick-starting Wales' Grand Slam defence against Ireland on Saturday, Halfpenny knows everything there is to know about the Irish back line, down to their shoe size.
Body on the line: Halfpenny helps halt Strettle before Wales lifted the Triple Crown (below)
'It's about doing your homework off the pitch and knowing your roles. Whether that's looking on your laptop and doing your analysis on the opposition or talking to coaches. I put the hours in.'
His opposite full back Rob Kearney is a Lions rival and has one of the biggest left boots in the game. Luckily, Halfpenny can out-jump men a foot taller and one of the sights of the spring will be this leaping 24-year-old claiming the high ball.
'It's about strength and power in your legs,' he says. 'A lot of work is done in the gym, building leg power with jump squats. After training we do extras – we have a special pad shaped like an opponent. The ball goes up in the air and you try to use the pad to get yourself even higher, as if it were a player competing for the ball.
'I stay out and do extra work on
whatever part of my game I want to improve – passing, decision-making,
kicking, high-ball catching.'
Halfpenny is shy and softly-spoken but his few words carry weight. He may only be 5ft 10in in a back line of genetically-modified giants but he was the stand-out performer during a dreadful 10 months of seven consecutive defeats for Wales.
Weight of expectation: Wales were stunning during last year's tournament
'Bouncing back is what this Six Nations is about for us,' he says. 'We have to put things right. We've got a Grand Slam to defend.
'We are a young squad and we've already achieved so many great things but the downs have taught all of us a lot of harsh lessons. We have matured from that, gained a lot.'
His pre-match ritual tells you everything you need to know about his character. While many players in an international changing room bang their chests, scream, swear and even revisit their breakfast, Halfpenny picks an empty corner and gets ready to do what he does best.
'I'm one of the quiet ones, I don't shout and roar. On the coach to the stadium I listen to music that reminds me of my parents and my grandparents, family and friends. It is a reminder of how I got to be on that bus. I wouldn't be there without them. For my first cap two 50-seater coaches came to the Millennium Stadium. I will never forget that. It really gets me up for it.'
Final preparation: Wales will face Ireland at home as they begin the defence of their title

What will your degree be in?
If you don't want to go back to school, then don't. Do something that makes you happy. Look at this as an opportunity, especially if your FI can and wants to support you. You can try writing a book, or selling things on Etsy if you're crafty, or blogging, or becoming a wedding photographer. Really, you can do ANYTHING!
Now, if you don't want to go back to school because you fear you'll be overeducated, but would otherwise very much like to go back to school, then push those fears aside. "Overeducated" is only a problem when you expect a pay rate equivalent with your education - if you're going to refuse jobs under $X, then the education might not be worth it. Especially in this economy, every little bit of experience or education you can soak up is a leg up over other applicants.
My Masters would be in Criminal Justice. I already have 2 Bachelor of Arts Degrees in Sociology and Sociology of Criminal Justice.
When I started I wanted nothing more than to be a Detective. Thus why I went and became a licensed Police Officer in the state of MN. When I did my undergrad I became really fascinated with Crime Theories and thought about trying to become publisher and do my own research, perhaps teaching at the collegiate level some day.
Long story short, no one in my family supports my dream to be a detective. My Dad was my only support and he passed away from Colon Cancer last year. Granted my Dad would have also loved the idea of me continuing my education and teaching college students like he did, he still didn't discredit my Law Enforcement dreams. FI doesn't want me to be a Detective or a cop because he doesn't want to have to worry about my safety while he is deployed. Apparently, he is the only one allowed to have a dangerous job. I agree with his reasoning but, I too would also prefer not to worry about him. But I know his dream means more and I am willing to deal with it.
To summarize, I would prefer to work Full-Time as a Police Officer or Sheriff's Deputy or even a Federal Agency out in the field and not go back to school. But at this point it doesn't look like that will happen. Not only because of lack of support but lack of open positions.
In the end I don't want to regret whatever career option I pick and I am willing to see where Graduate School takes me. Does that make any sense or was this just a jumbled mess? I have a million things going through my head right now!

Continuing the winter 'arts' season in Sydney, there is the Sydney Film Festival. We thought we'd better check something out – and being Pommies we decided we'd better watch something Australian (to help us understand how Australia works 🙂 )
The film we went to see was called Toomelah, and it was set in an Aboriginal community on the NSW/Queensland border. It was an interesting film – a bit depressing in a way. The director and some of the cast came on stage at the end (It was a film festival after all!) and explained that to a lot of people, it was just how daily life was – nothing to be depressed about.
The venue was the State Theatre, which is extremely magestic and old. Heritage listed no less – and the Film Festival has been held there since 1974.
YES – they do have old buildings in Australia (just not *really* old ones) …

Coastal Uncorked Food, Wine and Spirits Festival is going on throughout the week of May 8th -15th at Myrtle Beach. It's the second annual wine and spirits festival featuring a wine tasting trolley tour, outdoor entertainment, a golf tournament and the Coastal Uncorked Food Challenge fundraiser.
Candace Howell, Executive Director for Coastal Uncorked says the event first began as a restaurant week and quickly grew.
In it's inaugural year, it was extremely successful, very well received from the community, both businesses and residents as well. And then we had lots of folks come in from our drive-to markets to support the festival and our ticket sales. So we knew in 2011 that we needed to up the ante a little bit, so we brought in Paula Deen.
Coastal Uncorked begins with "Restaurant Week" which features dozens of restaurants. Howell tells us this is followed by the golf tournament featuring tasting tables throughout. Then….
….Friday the Tasting Trolley event kick off with ten themed stops this year, one includes Coastal Untapped which is a brewery event in Plyler Park in Myrtle Beach, and then the wine tasting tents and Gourmet Villages at Market Common. And that's Friday and Saturday from 12:00 (noon) to 5:00 (p.m.) each day.
Saturday night is the Paula Deen event and Sunday is the grand finale: the Iron Chef food challenge competition.
Howell tells us the event is to showcase all that the Grand Strand has to offer.
Some people may be interested in golf, and others might be interested in just wine and or spirits or just food in general, or all things combined. It really is a different fit for all different kind of folks so it kind of reaches out to everyone.F
Funds raised during the festival will be used for future events with a portion being donated to the Horry Georgetown Technical College Culinary School and the Clay Brittain Hospitality Program at Coastal Carolina University.

Conservative economist and former President Richard Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein stood up for President-elect Donald Trump. Coming from Stein, this is HUGE news.
During a long and divisive presidential campaign, Stein often attacked Trump's political and economic rhetoric, going so far as to call him an "extremely flawed candidate" during an October Fox News interview.
One thing he wanted to be clear about, however, was that Trump was no racist — and this is going to make Hollywood liberals furious.
Advertisement - story continues below
Stein told Neil Cavuto of Fox News yesterday: "Nobody in the Trump campaign has ever said a racist word and yet they keep calling him a racist. He's not a racist."
TRENDING: James Woods Labels Ocasio-Cortez 'The Most Dangerous Person in America.' He Might Have a Point
Stein has also been in the news lately for slamming the Hollywood liberal elite, saying that Hollywood "is trying to shut down free debate within Hollywood" where Trump was concerned. He noted that people in Hollywood described Trump and his team as racist, saying, "That's their favorite word to blacklist someone."
Stein said that many people in Hollywood were "thuggish bullies" who don't like dissent, according to Mediaite.

Not all of Hollywood was feeling the hate, however. During Meryl Streep's shocking abuse of the podium at the Golden Globe Awards last week, conservatives in the audience such as Denzel Washington, Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn were visibly appalled.
Even actress Viola Davis, who glowingly introduced Streep, endured the shameful speech with a horror-stricken look on her face.
Stein also deserved props for coming to the defense of actress Nicole Kidman (yes, she has American citizenship, and she voted).
"(Trump is) now elected and we, as a country, need to support whoever is the president," Kidman told the BBC. "That is what the country is based on. And however that happened, it happened, and let's go."
Stein said Kidman stood up for "what's right (and) supporting the president as long as he's not doing something we sincerely disagree with."

Good for Ben Stein, but it's not like Stein has a lot to lose; he made it clear that his conservative politics caused his acting career to dry up years ago.

The truth about books
Truth is so amazingly simple that it continues to scare people away.
Bits and pieces of thoughts, scattered here and there, can mean nothing to the disassociated Man and in the meantime can show through a hologram, the grand unification of the One (whole) Mind.
When I was a little girl, I had a dream. I wanted to become an author, as I saw authors as semi-gods who had achieved the impossible (for my eyes). I waited until I was "old enough", until I had "something specific and useful to say". I did it! Dream accomlished... only to realize that "dreams" and "visions" are two completely different things.
Today, half a century later, I realize that no book can include within its pages The Truth. And I mean, absolutely NO Man-written book!
Truth is current, it's a daily discovery and re-choosing, re-affirming of who you want to be. I have realized, much as I love and treasure books, that they are life-less and heart-less. Could it be otherwise?
Recently I gave all my all-time favorite, loved and treasured books away. Moving from my old home, I realized that I really needed very little to be happy, content and fulfilled. And the amazing discovery was that I do not de-value "things". On the contrary, I appreciate and respect them even more. But that doesn't mean that I have to cling on to them.
I know that many people need to go through the phase of collecting books and information that I went through. But for me, the most treasured information and the most substantial knowledge is always, continuously residing in my Heart and Mind, now!
The synthesis of our self, our whole Being is not about collecting or possessing or memorizing. It's about understanding, unifying, destructing and creating who we CAN be each moment.

PICO RIVERA – For three decades, a vast piece of property on the north end of town has housed a sports arena used for weekend Mexican rodeos and a swap meet, a dusty horse stables and a large tree-shaded campground.
Now, with the recent closure of the stables and the contract with Ventura Productions, LLC, the current operators of the Pico Rivera Sports Arena, ending next year, city officials are coming up with new plans for the 60 acres known as Bicentennial Park.
"We have a vision of not just a place for horse owners but for all the residents of the city," said City Manager Chuck Fuentes.
For now, the sports arena will remain open, but the city is considering taking bids for its operation when its contract with Ventura expires in April.
The reason for the possible change is the city wants to see a better share of profits from the facility, instead of about $110,000 a year that it has been getting, said Fuentes.
"It just seemed like the prior arrangment with Ventura was all done with a handshake," he said.
The city also wasn't making much money at the stables, previously operated by Ventura, until the City Council ended the contract with the company March 7, he added.
For years, the city received only about $1,000 a month from Ventura, even though individual boarders were paying the company about $220 per month for a stall, Fuentes said.
The parkland, leased by the city from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers since the mid-1970s, can only be used for recreational purposes, according to Army Corps regulations.
Although the City Council voted at its Wednesday meeting not to extend its agreement with Zee Golf Group, LLC, a group of businessmen interested in investing in an 18-hole golf course may still warrant consideration, said Fuentes.
"It's still an option because a golf course would be an approved use for the land," he said.
Councilman Gregory Salcido said he also likes the idea of a golf course because the legwork to bring one to the property has already been done.
But other possibilities need to be explored as well, he added.
"We have this primary piece of real estate off the 605 Freeway that we can use for recreational use, so all avenues need to be explored," he said.
His other ideas include a regional entertainment theater or a park with playing fields.
"My feeling is we have to be creative in finding a development that provides revenue and a recreational place for the residents of Pico Rivera, because for 30 years it has not," he said.
City staff is currently working on different proposals for the land and will present these plans to the City Council by the end of the summer or early fall, Fuentes said.
City officials had a different vision for the land in 1975 when they signed a lease with the Army Corps to use the vacant property.
Back then, they wanted a venue for charreadas or Mexican rodeos and the sports arena was built in 1978.
The stables were built a few years before the arena to accomodate the charros, Mexican cowboys who came to town to compete in riding and roping events.
"There was nothing like this, the stables or arena, in Pico Rivera at the time and we wanted something to keep our Mexican culture going," said former Mayor John Chavez, who was on the council at the time.
The campground started so that area Boy Scouts would have a place to hold jamborees and to provide residents with a wilderness getaway, he said.
"It was a place that provided a wilderness feeling because a road blocked it from the freeway and the dam blocked it from the city with the river on the west side," said Chavez.
In the beginning, the city was running the entire show, the arena, stables and campground. But after the arena's opening it showed a deficit of more than $300,000 in the first two years.
It was subsequently taken over by Ventura Productions in 1985.
The campground remained open until the late 1990s when the city closed it because too many people were living there long term and it didn't bring in enough money to city coffers.
The Fiesta Swap Meet moved to the campground from the Fiesta 4 Drive-in in Pico Rivera about five years ago. But when vendors didn't like the weeds and dust at the campground it was moved to the parking lot of the sports arena where it continues to operate every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Changes over the years are to be expected, said Chavez, but he admits he was saddened by the closure of the campground and now the stables.
"I really don't know the whole story, but I thought it was a good facility for people who want to house their horses near to home," he said.

Racing from the highest peak into the valley below with nothing but her trusty Commencal Supreme V4.2 mountain bike�to carry her is just where Ella Erickson likes to be.
"I like the speed," the Hayden teen said.�"I like the adrenaline rush and I like how you can just be one with the bike."
The 14-year-old downhill mountain bike racer has been on two wheels as long as she's been on two feet. By age 3, she was easily riding a bicycle and had her own gas-powered motorcycle with training wheels.
"She was pretty natural. As natural as any kid would be," said dad Todd Erickson.
So natural an athlete, one might say it's in her genes.
"My wife (Jen)�and I started riding downhill bikes when Ella was a baby," Todd said.�"Ella would be in a car seat and we would drive each other to the top of the mountain and take turns riding down."
From baby motorcycles to BMX bikes and now downhill racing, Ella has honed this adrenaline love into a competitive pursuit. The Coeur d'Alene�Charter Academy freshman boasts more than 100 medals, trophies, plaques and other awards recognizing her talent on two wheels. She often smokes older competitors and has no problem leaving boys in a trail of dust.
"When I first did BMX, I had to race the boys, and none of the boys knew that I was a girl because I had really short hair," she said.�"I�d be racing like 14-year-old boys � my first race that�s what I had to do � and then I got second place and they were all, �Good job!� and then one of them was like, �Oh my gosh, that�s a girl!' and he started crying."
She's about to add another chapter�to her brag book. Ella was recently selected by Commencal (pronounced "Com-en-sel"), an international powerhouse bike brand, to represent the company as part�of the Commencal Junior Cartel.
Ella was chosen after answering a call Commencal sent out to recruit American racers ages 14-18 and European racers ages 8-16. She submitted a racing resume, a video of her "best trail-slaying clips" as requested by Commencal, why she enjoys the company and why she loves bikes.
Ella�is one of only six youths in the U.S.�to snag this honor.
"I was surprised,� she said, smiling as she described�when she�received the news in January. "But I was really excited."
The JR Cartel project was formed to zero in on young talents with the hope of adding them to an elite Commencal team in the future. Ella has already received a bike from the company and will be provided gear support. She'll have access to professional-grade pit support at some events and she will have opportunities to build relationships with professionals and industry employees as she races toward her dreams.
"We're proud," Todd said. "It's pretty cool."
Aside from shredding up local competitions like the Silveroxx Mountain Bike Festival race series at Silver Mountain, where Ella has been the overall winner the past�few years,�or the regional Northwest Cup in Port Angeles, Wash., which is coming up in April, Ella will also be�participating in national mountain biking events.
As a JR Cartel athlete, she'll be expected to attend two national Pro Mountain Bike Gravity Tour races as well as the U.S. Nationals in West Virginia and the Team Camp in Winterpark, Colo.
But Ella isn�t biking it alone. Her parents and her little sister, Mica, 10, are all active bikers. Ella has even shared the winner�s stage with her mom, and her dad began downhill racing so he could coach his eldest daughter.
"Three years ago my wife was the overall women�s winner (at Silver Mountain), but now Ella�s faster than her mom,� Todd said. "There are a lot of times, when they race in the same category, they�ll be at the same podium. Usually Ella will be first and my wife will be third."
When she's not on her Commencal Supreme V4.2, Ella maintains honor student status, snowboards, plays the cello and loves science.
But that bike seat is always calling her away�to her next adventure.
�I think the sport is really awesome because everybody is super chill and it�s very low drama. I feel like the most pressure you get comes from yourself," Ella said. "Nobody expects anything of you � if you want to excel, you�re going to push yourself. Nobody else is out there pushing you. It�s just a really good time."

Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn is the second MMO to be associated with the legendary RPG franchise. Square-Enix's first foray into MMOs (Final Fantasy 11) wasn't a runaway success like Blizzard's World of Warcraft, but it is probably the most profitable FF title to date (given that it has commanded monthly subscription fees from its player base for over a decade.) Final Fantasy 11 is now showing its age so it's no surprise that Square decided to launch a new MMO back in September 2010 to replace it. The original Final Fantasy 14 was however such a shambolic mess that an embarrassed Square opted to waiver the monthly subscription fee allowing buyers (who could stomach it) to play it for free. A terrible release is normally fatal for an MMO, but against the odds Final Fantasy 14 has managed to recover. Under the stewardship of director Naoki Yoshida (Dragon's Quest) the game was re-launched as "A Realm Reborn" and transformed from a dud into one of the better MMOs in the current market.
Set in the magical world of Eorzea, players don the role of an adventurer assisting the nations of Gridania, Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah in their tribulations with the sinister Garlean Empire. When designing your avatar players can choose from a handful of races including your standard human and elves in addition to the towering Roegadyn, lovable Lalafells and the feline Miqo'te. Unsurprisingly, in a game populated by single men of a geeky persuasion, Eorzea's most popular race is the Miqo'te. Regardless of what region you choose to explore one thing is certain – the number of cat girls you encounter will be plentiful. It's almost like visiting a virtual anime cosplay convention (not that I am complaining.)
Aside from the feline eye candy, trekking across Eorzea is a visual treat thanks to the game's graphics, which rival those of the gorgeous single player Final Fantasies. Eorzea's landscapes include woods, deserts and coastal beaches that each have unique creatures to battle. The appealing aesthetics thankfully do not come at the detriment of performance. In addition to its stunning looks, the game runs smoother than some less flashy MMOs I could mention (cough Star Wars: The Old Republic.) Clearly Final Fantasy is better optimized, although whilst questing I did experience some latency issues that I will attribute to Square's servers. It's just a minor quibble, but it can get frustrating when you get bashed by an enemy even though you have positioned yourself well outside their strike range.
One of the game's best features would have to be its job system, which permits characters to adopt whatever role they desire. This is a godsend for someone, such as myself, who rarely makes progress in MMOs (as I cannot resist creating multitudes of new characters just to sample how each class plays.) If you started your adventure as a magical healer and then decide to try out something else that's no problem. Swapping over to a damage dealer or defensive tank is as simple as replacing your staff with a bow or sword. Levelling up different classes is actually encouraged as it unlocks advanced jobs in addition to granting you access to additional abilities (for example a gladiator can cast some healing spells if you happen to have some levels in conjuror.)
As with most MMOs levelling up involves earning experience by slaying mobs and completing quests. Final Fantasy 14's quests aren't revolutionary (kill a certain number of enemies, travel to a town to talk with an NPC etc) but the main ones are at least delivered via entertaining cut scenes that trump the dull text boxes World of Warcraft uses. If questing isn't your thing there are other options available to you too. The most common one are the FATEs that appear in certain zones. These allow any players in the vicinity to band together and earn an experience point reward by defeating a powerful monster, slaying waves of enemies or escorting a vulnerable NPC to safety. Eventually you'll unlock dungeons that can be tackled by four man parties. On average a dungeon can be cleared in around thirty minutes, but if you are in a rush you can try a guildhest instead. These four player missions are designed to teach you the game's basics and can be finished in around five minutes.
My rating for Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn is a five out of five. I normally give up on MMOs after a few weeks play, but Final Fantasy has managed to retain my interest for a number of months now. Unlike some other games, that get stale once you hit the level cap, there's always something to do. Aside from having a plethora of classes to level up there are hunts for upgrading your gear, crafting skills to learn and special events to partake in. Even if it is essentially a World of Warcraft clone I am enjoying it far more than Blizzard's effort thanks to its setting. Give me Moogles over humanoid pandas any day! Besides, who can resist the appeal of riding atop a Chocobo? It's a must for anyone who has ever dreamt of mounting an ostrich.
For a game designed with consoles in mind I was impressed by the depth of its customisable interface along with the control scheme that functions well whether you choose to play with a controller or a traditional keyboard/mouse setup. Another highlight would have to be the game's score, which continues the Final Fantasy tradition of boasting stellar music. The quality tunes on offer made me abandon my usual MMO routine, which normally involves muting the sound so I can listen to podcasts whilst I grind. It's no wonder that Final Fantasy soundtracks have been known to crack the BBC classical charts. Shame that Square's customer support team isn't as good as their musical talent. They have been no help in resolving the payment issue preventing me from subscribing with my debit card. To play I therefore have to resort to costly game cards. It's an inconvenience I will tolerate however as the game is so enjoyable.

A Motherwell waste firm's latest charity effort is helping to fund a pilgrimage for disabled youngsters to the religious shrine of Lourdes.
New Town Waste Solutions held a successful sportsman's dinner at Dalziel Park Country Club.
It resulted in a cheque for £6,200 being presented to representatives of the Handicapped Children's Pilgrimage Trust.
Youngsters from the Motherwell area will be among 2,500 from throughout Britain and Ireland travelling to the French shrine at Easter.
It's an annual pilgrimage that began more than 60 years ago.
After receiving the cheque at New Town's Albert Street base, HCPT's Helene Gronkowska said: "It costs around £750 for travel and one week's accommodation for each child so this means a lot."
New Town director Martin McLindon knows first hand what the Lourdes trip means to families and helpers as his son Connaire, now 14, was with the HCPT party there two years ago.
Martin said: "It's humbling when you see what they do for the youngsters.
"I know that the moment the helpers are back from Lourdes they start fundraising again for the next trip."
New Town have boosted a number of charities over the last few years.
Fellow director Billy Neilson said: "We reckon we have raised more than £70,000. We try to support a different charity every time."
Plans are already in place for the next sportsman's dinner which will take place in early March.
And Martin is hoping to revive a sponsored bike ride to London which has been done several times.
However, Billy's not sure about getting in the saddle again for the 420-mile endurance test. He said: "I've done it twice and it's tough. It takes four days and we're cycling into the wind most of the way!"
Before the HCPT trips began disabled pilgrims to Lourdes had to stay in hospitals, but Helena said: "These days they are in hotels so they can enjoy the social side of it too.
"It's grown hugely from one group in London in 1954 and now there are children from other parts of Europe, North America and the Caribbean."
More details on HCPT can be found on its website at www.hcpt.org.uk.

"A real treat, funny, unpredictable and spectacular!" – DAILY TELEGRAPH

They entertain, amaze, and surprise with a truly mind-blowing fusion of rhythm, comedy, flamenco madness and fruit that is already a smash hit around the world.
"A thrilling show frequently reminiscent of watching some manic foreign film without subtitles" – EVENING STANDARD

Fishermen meeting in the South End for an update on the lawsuit challenging Amendment 16 also found themselves discussing the public relations mountain that the industry has to climb to gain popular support.
NEW BEDFORD — Fishermen meeting in the South End for an update on the lawsuit challenging Amendment 16 also found themselves discussing the public relations mountain that the industry has to climb to gain popular support.
Now an effort is under way to name a legal fund that has been launched to pay the legal bills in the lawsuit filed last month by New Bedford and Gloucester and many other interested parties against the U.S. Commerce Department.
As the gathering of about 35 debated what to name the fund, boat owner Carlos Rafael forcefully told the group that the key to their success in winning public support "is that guy over there with his (deleted) pen," as he pointed to a reporter.
Attorneys Pamela Lafreniere of New Bedford and Stephen Ouellette of Gloucester spelled out the process in federal court that they hope to expedite by cutting out months, or even years, of motions and delays that snag some cases. If Judge Rya Zobel allows, they plan to move directly into the filing of briefs, written arguments, even before getting all the necessary documentation from the government. They will make the legal case and fill in the footnotes as they become available, Ouellette said.
They also said there is an outside chance that the lawsuit will be moved to federal court in Washington, D.C., which they hoped to avoid because of the expense and of that court's lean toward government agencies, said Ouellette.
The legal discussion turned toward how to pay for it, since the cities by state law cannot pay the legal bills (though they have promised in-kind contributions).
A fund is being set up and will be managed by Kristin Decas, director of the New Bedford Harbor Development Commission. Lafreniere thanked the fishermen who have already contributed. But as the group discussed how to attract small contributions from a wide segment of the population, concern arose about how to reach people outside the fishing industry or the port communities.
Rafael and others favored warning consumers about imported fish caught in unregulated and uninspected fisheries, and others floated suggestions about naming the legal fund to make that point.
"American Seafood Defense Fund" was suggested by Jim Kendall. Other suggestions are being solicited during the next several days. Ouellette said that in the meantime, checks can be made out to "Amendment 16 lawsuit," sent to him, Lafreniere or the Harbor Development Commission, and they will be recorded to the fund.
Steve Urbon is senior correspondent of The Standard-Times.

Hello all. I have been busy trying to do all my last minute Christmas stuff done. Have you done all of your wrapping, buying, creating, baking, etc? So, sorry that this one was a little late, but I feel like I have so little time to get stuff done.
For Day 9, the gift is supposed to be 9 Candy Canes. I think the original post used full sized candy canes, but I again, I changed it to be mini candy canes. I figured they could use 9 minis a little easier.
The Poem reads:
For the 9th day of Christmas,
9 canes of red and white . . .
Guess who my favorite teacher is?
If you guessed 'YOU', you're right!
When trying to decide how to package them, I first thought of just adding them into a clear bag like the paper clips. Then, after playing with them, I created this - a bow of candy canes:
Have a great night

Musical Shaped Cards
It must be time to update my blog. I'm so sorry it has been so long since I was here, but don't the days just rush by?
I'm not sure where I'm going to get time to keep on top of it now, as I've got another project to look after.
For those that don't know, my favourite place to visit on the internet, is closing down at the end of May.
I have therefore started up a new forum where our cyber family can still visit and share our crafting obsession. If anyone wants to go see what our new home looks like then take a stroll over to this address, put your feet up and enjoy the company.
Anyway, here are two cards that I have made recently. One for my son's birthday and one that I just had to play with after I saw the original idea on another web site.
I'll now try to add more cards more often, but you'll know where to find me if I'm not around.
