New Age, 12 December 2010
Validity of charges against Grameen under question
David Bergman
Grameen Bank probably never had a worse week. A Norwegian documentary claimed that its noble peace prize winning founder had 'quietly tapped the Grameen Bank' for Tk 3474 million of aid money, that Norwegian assistance had 'disappeared' from the bank and, some aid money was diverted to fund Grameen Phone.
The allegations were then taken up by bdnews24.com – with a headline, 'Yunus "siphoned Tk 7bn aid for poor"' which was widely published in Bangladesh. Soon it was a truly international story with the Times in the UK saying that Yunus's 'reputation was under threat.'
A four page rejoinder by the bank did little to stem the allegations – with senior Awami League politicians accusing Professor Muhammad Yunus, the managing director of the bank of 'corruption' and even the prime minister arguing that the allegation was 'nothing but sucking out money from the people after giving them loans.'
Yet, the tide now seems to be turning in Grameen Bank's favour. The Norwegian government last week said that the inquiry report by Norad showed no evidence that any of this money was used for 'unintended purposes.' The minister stated that there was no evidence that Grameen Bank has 'engaged in corrupt practices or embezzled funds.'
Since the controversy first started, New Age has been looking closely at these allegations.
It read all the documents released by the documentary makers (including those originally written in Norwegian), looked though Grameen Banks' annual reports going back to 1995, and have conducted lengthy conversations with senior financial figures within the Bank.
Now, with Professor Mohammed Yunus making his first public statement on the allegations later today, New Age can reveal that our investigation shows that those suggesting that aid money was misused have failed to understand the financial transactions at the heart of the controversy.
The first misunderstanding was that the transactions not only involved donor money but also a separate fund made up of money internally generated by the Bank. As a result, the documentary claimed that money that Grameen phone had invested in Grameen Telecom had come from donor money, when it had in fact came from a separate fund within the Bank – the Social Advancement Fund.
Secondly they did not appreciate that the 'transfer' of donor money from Grameen Bank to another company was only a paper exercise – and the money never actually left the account of Grameen Bank. As a result, all the allegations suggesting that the transactions resulted in the 'siphoning' of money were completely misconstrued.
The story starts in December 1996. Amongst the 26 different funds and other money in Grameen Bank's bank accounts that year were two particular pots of money.
One pot of money was the Tk 3474 million (NOK 608) which was given to the bank by a consortium of donors as revolving funds to be used for house and other kinds of loans.
Norad states that its contribution to this pot was Tk 754 million (NOK 170 million) - about a quarter of the total. The other donors included Swedish International Development Corporation Agency (SIDA), the Ford Foundation, and the German government aid agency, GTZ.
The second pot of money was called the Social Advancement Fund (SAF), which amounted to Tk 442 million. This had been internally generated by the Bank over a period of years by setting aside 2 per cent of the interest payments received on revenue received from borrowers paying back their loans and was to be used for the welfare and benefit of the Bank's members and employees. The Social Advancement Fund was set up at the request of the donors themselves – and was not considered by them to be part of their money.
In December 1996, Grameen Bank set up a new company, Grameen Kalyan. In correspondence to Norad, Dr Yunus gave two main reasons for its establishment.
The first was to provide an organisation that could more efficiency distribute the Social Advancement Fund for the welfare of Grameen's bank staff and members.
This was achieved by Grameen Bank giving Tk 198 million of this money to Grameen Kalyan - the money being physically put into Grameen Kalyan's account in a number of separate installments completed by the end of May 1997. The remaining Tk 243 million in the Social Advancement, comprising an investment in Grameen Telecom, was also given to Grameen Kalyan.
The second reason for setting up the new company was to provide a way to protect from taxation the money that was paid into the Social Advancement Fund (the 2 per cent from the revenue received on the bank's loans to its members). This was considered an issue, as the Bank feared it might soon lose its tax exemption status resulting in this money being treated as 'profit' and therefore taxed.
This second purpose was achieved by Grameen Bank giving Grameen Kalyan the Tk 3474 million (NOK 608) donor money and then immediately borrowing the money back from Grameen Kalyan on the basis that it would pay it 2 per cent interest. Since the '2 per cent' was now interest on a loan – it would not be taxed if the Bank's tax exemption was removed.
Although the May 1997 agreement between Grameen Bank and Grameen Kalyan (as well as subsequent NORAD documents) use the word 'transfer' to describe what happened to the donor money, this money was not – unlike the Tk 198 million SAF money - actually physically transferred to Grameen Kalyan. The change of ownership and the loan was, as the Norwegians themselves state in their documents, a 'bookkeeping' exercise, a notional transfer. The donor money remained in Grameen's bank account at all times.
In February 1998, completely by chance, the Norwegian government came to know about this set of transactions when it was glancing through Grameen's bank annual report. And it raised a number of warning lights for them.
First, the government thought that it represented a breach of their agreement to give the money since the Tk 754 million it had given Grameen Bank was now legally owned by another company. Secondly, since the money was not owned by Grameen Bank, there was a potential risk that it could be diverted for other purposes. Thirdly, it thought that even if the Bank's tax exemption was removed, Grameen Bank should pay.
Following discussions involving the Grameen Bank and the Norwegian and Bangladesh governments, it was agreed that Grameen Kalyan would transfer back all of NORAD's money (then sitting along with all the other donor money in Grameen's account) into the name of Grameen Bank. This was another paper exercise, which did not involve the movement of money, and which did not effect how the money was used.
It is known from the papers obtained by the film maker that NORAD had wanted all the donors in the consortium to act together. It is therefore notable that none of the other donors – who had given three quarters of the pot of donor money - decided to join NORAD in asking for a change in the ownership of its money. This would suggest that they did not consider Norad's concerns to be sufficiently serious.
Their foresight proved accurate. Even though Tk 2720 of the non-NORAD donor money in the Grameen Bank account continued to remain in the ownership of Grameen Kalyan – there was never any suggestion that this money was used by Grameen Bank in any way other than providing loans.
Six years later, in 2003, Grameen Bank decided, possibly on the prompting of Bangladesh Bank, to return the non-Norad donor money back to the ownership of Grameen Bank. The annual report of that year, which New Age has seen, attests to the fact that this money was returned.
Whilst people may still have questions about why Grameen Bank did not seek the consent of donors before making these transactions, and wonder why the Bank went to such great efforts to avoid paying any possible tax, the evidence does not support allegations that the aid money at the heart of the allegations was misused.
The money did not move out of Grameen Bank's account. The money used to invest in Grameen Telecom and the money physically in the Grameen Kalyan account all came from a different source of money, the Social Advancement fund.
We asked Tom Heinemann, the maker of the documentary, to comment on these findings. 'I never suggested that money had been misused in my documentary,' he said. 'We were only asking what had happened to the money. Why did Norad keep these documents secret.'
He said that those Bangladesh news media who alleged corruption had occurred were in trouble. 'There will be a boomerang against them. I never said there was corruption'
Heinemann focused on the point that 'Grameen Bank had broken agreements. …Donors had not intended the money to be transferred [to another company]. There were massive implications of that transfer which is why [the] money was demanded back. The compromise meant that Grameen Kalyan kept [the money]. This was not how the donors had planned it.'
He also questioned the accuracy of the Norad investigation report – stating that he still thought that there was Norwegian money accounted for. 'I am still not clear where the money has gone,' he said

At a glance
- The GDPR introduces a duty for you to appoint a data protection officer (DPO) if you are a public authority or body, or if you carry out certain types of processing activities.
- DPOs assist you to monitor internal compliance, inform and advise on your data protection obligations, provide advice regarding Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and act as a contact point for data subjects and the supervisory authority.
- The DPO must be independent, an expert in data protection, adequately resourced, and report to the highest management level.
- A DPO can be an existing employee or externally appointed.
- In some cases several organisations can appoint a single DPO between them.
- DPOs can help you demonstrate compliance and are part of the enhanced focus on accountability.
Appointing a DPO
☐ We are a public authority or body and have appointed a DPO (except if we are a court acting in our judicial capacity).
☐ We are not a public authority or body, but we know whether the nature of our processing activities requires the appointment of a DPO.
☐ We have appointed a DPO based on their professional qualities and expert knowledge of data protection law and practices.
☐ We aren't required to appoint a DPO under the GDPR but we have decided to do so voluntarily. We understand that the same duties and responsibilities apply had we been required to appoint a DPO. We support our DPO to the same standards.
Position of the DPO
☐ Our DPO reports directly to our highest level of management and is given the required independence to perform their tasks.
☐ We involve our DPO, in a timely manner, in all issues relating to the protection of personal data.
☐ Our DPO is sufficiently well resourced to be able to perform their tasks.
☐ We do not penalise the DPO for performing their duties.
☐ We ensure that any other tasks or duties we assign our DPO do not result in a conflict of interests with their role as a DPO.
Tasks of the DPO
☐ Our DPO is tasked with monitoring compliance with the GDPR and other data protection laws, our data protection policies, awareness-raising, training, and audits.
☐ We will take account of our DPO's advice and the information they provide on our data protection obligations.
☐ When carrying out a DPIA, we seek the advice of our DPO who also monitors the process.
☐ Our DPO acts as a contact point for the ICO. They co-operate with the ICO, including during prior consultations under Article 36, and will consult on any other matter.
☐ When performing their tasks, our DPO has due regard to the risk associated with processing operations, and takes into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing.
Accessibility of the DPO
☐ Our DPO is easily accessible as a point of contact for our employees, individuals and the ICO.
☐ We have published the contact details of the DPO and communicated them to the ICO.
In brief
Do we need to appoint a Data Protection Officer?
Under the GDPR, you must appoint a DPO if:
- you are a public authority or body (except for courts acting in their judicial capacity);
- your core activities require large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of individuals (for example, online behaviour tracking); or
- your core activities consist of large scale processing of special categories of data or data relating to criminal convictions and offences.
This applies to both controllers and processors. You can appoint a DPO if you wish, even if you aren't required to. If you decide to voluntarily appoint a DPO you should be aware that the same requirements of the position and tasks apply had the appointment been mandatory.
Regardless of whether the GDPR obliges you to appoint a DPO, you must ensure that your organisation has sufficient staff and resources to discharge your obligations under the GDPR. However, a DPO can help you operate within the law by advising and helping to monitor compliance. In this way, a DPO can be seen to play a key role in your organisation's data protection governance structure and to help improve accountability.
If you decide that you don't need to appoint a DPO, either voluntarily or because you don't meet the above criteria, it's a good idea to record this decision to help demonstrate compliance with the accountability principle.

This old Williamson County bus sits in a field in Leiper's Fork and I have always driven by and said I would paint it someday. Sunday was that day. Apparently it has become a storage shed.
When I look at it abandoned in this field I have to ask who would aquire a school bus and how did they aquire it to just drive it home and park it in a field to store junk in it? How do you get a school bus? Do they give them away or sell them? Ya' know, if you tore out the seats and added a bunk and a fridge and a giant easel, you would have a great mobile studio. Just back it up to your favorite local scene, fling open the back door and voila, instant studio, rain or shine.

I was hoping to see you and your works at the Capitol Show. I was happy to sell two and hope the other two sell as well.
I rode the bike to Lieper's Saturday and saw some of your works at the gallery.
The bus looks good. Buy it and load it up with artists!

January is National Radon Action Month
National Radon Action Month (NRAM) was created by the EPA and others to help increase public awareness about the health effects of exposure to radon and to promote radon testing and mitigation. NRAM also promotes the use of radon-resistant new construction practices in an effort to create healthier indoor living environments, which in turn helps prevent the loss of lives from radon-induced lung cancer.
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Studies have shown that radon causes an estimated 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the U.S. each year1. However, a recent study by the President's Cancer Panel, "Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now", suggests that this number may be low. "Radon is the number one cause of environmentally induced cancer mortality in the United States. During the past 50 years, over a million people have died nationwide from radon-related lung cancer", says Dr. R. William Field, University of Iowa professor of occupational and environmental health and epidemiology.
With a disease as deadly as lung cancer, it's important to know the facts. Lung cancer is the most fatal in the United States – for both men and women. One in 14 Americans will get lung cancer, and it kills more people than breast, prostate, colorectal, and leukemia combined. It kills more than twice as many men as prostate cancer and almost twice as many women as breast cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, tobacco accounts for 87% of lung cancer deaths (and also increases risk for other cancers, as well as chronic diseases including heart disease and emphysema). But, even though it's less common, some people who don't smoke get lung cancer too. If lung cancer in "never smokers" (defined by researchers as people who have smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime) had its own category separate from lung cancer in smokers, it would rank among the top 10 fatal cancers in the United States.
What everyone should know about radon:
What is Radon and how are we exposed to it? Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is caused by the decay of uranium in the earth's soil. You cannot see, taste or smell radon, but you can test for it. Radon can enter a home or building through openings in the foundation or floor slab, and it can accumulate in these enclosed spaces.
How much radon is too much? The USEPA recommends that homes with radon levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) be mitigated to reduce the radon. In 2009, The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that homes with radon levels above 2.7 pCi/L be mitigated.
What can be done to reduce exposure to radon? The most effective and cost efficient method of reducing radon is to capture it before it has a chance to get into the home. This can be done with sub-slab depressurization, drain tile depressurization, sub-membrane depressurization (in crawl spaces) or a combination of these. Piping is installed that will pull the radon from under the floor slab or drain tile loop (with the help of a fan), and the radon is vented safely outside before it has a chance to enter the home. In homes with (dirt floor) crawl spaces, a plastic membrane is installed, and the radon (and other soil gases) is collected from beneath the membrane. A dirt floor crawl space will most likely increase the cost of a "typical" radon mitigation system.

I can't even believe the holiday season is over...December seemed to fly by!
We had a WONDERFUL Christmas and am already sad to see my favorite holiday gone. Here's a little recap of what we were up to!
Emma made a snack mix to give to her friends for Christmas...
Her cards she made were amazing!!!
On Saturday we had my mom and her husband over for supper. I made chili and it was just such a nice relaxing evening!
Christmas Eve we got the most beautiful snow...we didn't get much, but it was beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for Christmas!
Emma made us a special breakfast...
We headed to Brad's sisters in the afternoon to celebrate. Everyone brings appetizers and we just munch all afternoon.
Our Christmas Cheer drink that we made was a huge hit! We bought large square ice cube trays to use for the drink
We were home by 6:30 and enjoyed our evening opening gifts with the girls ( mom and dad got SPOILED!!!) and grazing on more appetizers. We finished the night watching "Christmas Vacation" for the last time this year. I thought Emma was going to cry, haha!! The girls always sleep in Rachel's room on Christmas Eve, they watch movies and I love this tradition they have!
Even Maci was wiped...
Christmas morning was more gifts, mass and then to the farm to spend the day. My favorite part of the day was when we all sat down to go over our goals for 2018. I found a fun printable that had you fill out your favorite memories from 2017, and different things you want to accomplish in 2018. It was so fun to hear what everyone's goals are. I must say that everyone put a lot of thought into it and we look forward to doing this every Christmas!
Brad and I both had Tuesday off which so nice to just relax after a few busy days. Emma attempted to teach us how to do calligraphy. Lets just say it didn't go well. Brad's paper says "Emma sucks", but it looks like "Emma ducks", lol!!!
Brad and Rick took the two little to see the latest Star Wars movie, she loved it!
This weekend has been glorious, yesterday I took all the Christmas decor down and cleaned the house from top to bottom. Today is just a relax kind of day. The house is clean, laundry is done, meals are planned and groceries are bought.
I will say that 2017 has not been my favorite year, but I know that it can only get better from here. I am excited to see what is in store for our family!

When a pest is driving you up the wall, what can you do? Where can you find the best advice online? This article is a great first place to look, so you've come to the right place. Keep reading to learn how to get rid of your problems once and for all by Mattress Cleaning Services .
If you want to get rid of the ants around your house, sprinkle some borax powder near your home. This will help to poison the ants so that they are stopped in their tracks and cannot come back. This will help to temporarily eliminate the ant problem during certain seasons of the year.
Know what pest you are dealing with. You can't combat what you don't understand. Not every pest control method works for every type of bug. You need to choose the right weapon to face your foe. So do your research. Search the internet for bugs that look like your pest, and see what types of methods work best.
If you suffer from an infestation of brown recluse spiders, try using sticky traps in order to catch them. These spiders are poisonous; therefore, you need to eliminate them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they often hide in small areas where chemicals are not as effective. They tend to hunt for food overnight. Place some traps along your walls and behind the furniture.
If you are apprehensive about using chemical pest control in your home, try traps instead. Physical traps work to attract the pest and then trap it. Some work like traditional mouse traps that snap closed and kill the pest, while others involve a sticky sheet that adheres the pest to the sheet so you can remove it from your home.
Dust Mite
To help with dust mite allergies, give your plastic mattress cover a quick wipe down, daily. You should wash the sheets every day. You may want to think about getting a cover for your pillow that protects it from dust mites.
Reading seems to provide the answers to everything, be it pests or otherwise. This article has given you all you need to know. It's important that you get started dealing with the issue today. Once you have it all under control, you'll be able to relax and enjoy life again.

I received an e-ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Title: The Forbidden Orchid
Author: Sharon Biggs Waller
Publisher: Viking
Publication Date: March 8, 2016
Stars: 4/5
Summary (from Goodreads): Staid, responsible Elodie Buchanan is the eldest of ten sisters living in a small English market town in 1861. The girls' father is a plant hunter, usually off adventuring through the jungles of China.
Then disaster strikes: Mr. Buchanan fails to collect an extremely rare and valuable orchid, meaning that he will be thrown into debtors' prison and the girls will be sent to the orphanage or the poorhouse. Elodie's father has one last chance to return to China, find the orchid, and save the family—and this time, thanks to an unforeseen twist of fate, Elodie is going with him. Elodie has never before left her village, but what starts as fear turns to wonder as she adapts to seafaring life aboard the tea clipper The Osprey, and later to the new sights, dangers, and romance of China.
But even if she can find the orchid, how can she find herself now that staid, responsible Elodie has seen how much the world has to offer?
Prepare to be amazed with this all new historical adventure! The Forbidden Orchid is a one of a kind book all about a hunt for a rare and valuable orchid. An interesting and complex father/daughter relationship makes this book even more believable. Though the book seems incredible already, there are three different settings, including China, making the story unforgettable.
The Forbidden Orchid has such a unique and intriguing concept. This book tells the story of a young girl who travels to China with her father to search for a rare orchid. The story becomes even more intense as orchid thieves are involved and fighting becomes an element. The significance of flowers in the novel is so creative, and I never would have thought that flower hunting was actually a thing.
One thing that is really interesting about The Forbidden Orchid is the father/daughter relationship. A lot of the time in books, parents don't even exist, so I was very glad to see a complex relationship between Elodie and her dad. Honestly, the concern, protectiveness, and strictness that Elodie's dad expresses makes the story so much more believable. Even reading about Elodie's dad insisting that she can't do things because she is a girl made the book more historically accurate.
The setting in The Forbidden Orchid is very interesting. Basically, the book is split into three different parts: England, on a boat, and China. It was actually sort of like reading three different stories because the sections are all so drastically different from each other. I especially enjoyed reading about China because it isn't a very common setting in YA.
The Forbidden Orchid is a very unique book with a theme of flower hunting and a realistic father/daughter relationship. Three different and original settings add even more to the book. This is a definite must-read for historical fans.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Dark love stories clouded in mystery are great reads. When I was younger, I devoured V.C. Andrews books. I love to write blatant paranormal mysteries, but there's something even more frightening when it's human beings behind really horrific acts. In my stories, though, there has to be a happy ending and plenty of closure. I hate loose ends.

Miracle materials
Grad student wins defense fellowship to develop multifunctional composites
10:08 a.m., May 14, 2012--Nanomaterials may be small, but they offer a tremendous range of properties and possible applications. Carbon nanotubes can provide the foundation for multifunctional structures that sense and heal damage within themselves while also serving other roles such as energy storage, thermal management, and electromagnetic interference shielding.
Zachary Melrose, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering at the University of Delaware, plans to exploit that potential in his doctoral research at UD's Center for Composite Materials. Melrose, from Voorhees, N.J., has been awarded a prestigious National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship to support his development of multifunctional structural composites through the selective integration of nanomaterials in composites. He is advised by Erik Thostenson, assistant professor.
Research Stories
Chronic wounds
Prof. Heck's legacy
"The current approach to in-situ damage sensing involves uniformly dispersing carbon nanotubes throughout the composite to create an electrically conductive network," Melrose explains. "I plan to extend that approach through selective modification to produce a material with a controlled hierarchy. In contrast to the current single-sensor approach, the controlled structure would create a nerve-like network of sensors."
Melrose is currently investigating two different processing techniques. He also plans to explore alternative materials, including graphene, a one-atom-thick film of carbon with exceptional strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity.
Melrose's doctoral work builds on undergraduate research he conducted at CCM, also under Thostenson's advisement, and he credits the interdisciplinary environment at the center with igniting his interest in research and motivating him to earn a graduate degree. He and two other 2011 mechanical engineering graduates are the latest in a long line of CCM alumni whose academic and career paths were influenced by their experience as undergraduates at the center.
Sarah Friedrich, from Finksburg, Md., and Anthony Coppola, from Vernon, N.J., are among four alumni from the UD Class of 2011 who were awarded competitive National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships.
Friedrich is currently a doctoral student in biomedical engineering at the Johns Hopkins University. Her research focuses on the use of microfluidic devices to study cell behavior and detect biomarkers in physiological media.
"My interest in research at a graduate level stems from my work at CCM and the undergraduate research program, which sparked my interest in micro- and nano-scale detection," she says. "It also made me much more interested inand conscious ofmaterials selection, which is a very important consideration in biomedical applications. In addition, the undergraduate research program helped me gain skills that better prepared me to tackle research as a graduate student in any field."
Coppola, now a 2011-12 Roy J. Carver Fellow in aerospace engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, also credits CCM with helping to develop his interest in advanced materials.
"Working at CCM through undergraduate research and SAMPE really gave me a head start with my graduate research," Coppola says. "Also, the reputation of CCM has really stayed with me and given me an increased level of credibility as a composites scientist."
As further testament to UD's strength in composites, Coppola is advised by Scott White and is part of UIUC's Autonomous Materials Systems Group, which is co-led by White and Nancy Sottos, Donald B. Willett Professor of Engineering. Sottos earned bachelor of science and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering at UD in 1986 and 1991, respectively, and carried out her research at CCM.
Coppola's work focuses on characterizing the effect of a vascular network on the mechanical properties of composites and optimizing design of the network to maximize delivery of a functional fluid.
Both Friedrich and Coppola completed senior theses under Thostenson's advisement, and as undergraduates, all three students were science and engineering scholars in UD's Undergraduate Research Program.
"Zach, Sarah, and Tony are all great examples of students who as undergraduates took full advantage of the wonderful opportunities offered at the University of Delaware," says Thostenson. "From the broad-based Undergraduate Research Program to the interdisciplinary environment at CCM, students receive strong support in their development as students and researchers. Mentoring students like them in my research group is one of the best parts of my job as a faculty member."
Melrose chose to stay at UD for his graduate studies, but he looks forward to the opportunity to spend short periods of time studying at other institutions or companies.
"I think UD is the best place to be for composites," he says, "but it will be good to get some additional experience elsewhere. I'm grateful to have that chance through the NDSEG Fellowship."

Happy Father's Day!
To my husband: You are a great man, husband, and father. I am so excited to be making a new life together and traveling down a new road. I think we picked the right side of the fork in the road this time and things are going to be better than ever. I am so lucky, no, we are so lucky to have you in our lives. There is no better man to be the father of my child. I knew it from when we first started dating, watching you with my step-brother, and then my little sisters... you are gentle and kind and playful. And I couldn't ask for more.
To my dad: I love you more than you know. Ever since Goose was born, I have been able to see you in a new light. I know we haven't always had the easiest relationship, but I can see the love you have for me every time you look into my daughters eyes. I can only imagine how you were with me when I was a child. You are a terrific father and grandfather. I can't wait to go camping. Some of my best memories of my childhood are from camping with you. And now Goose will be able to have those same memories. I treasure those times and its such a gift to be able to give them to Gabby. When I think of my dad, I think of you, camping in Lake Chelan, sleeping under the stars.
To my step-dad: Thank you for loving my daughter so much and thank you for all the support you and mom have given us. I know you work hard to support your own family but I hope you know that
I we are so grateful that you are in our lives.
To my father-in-law: You are a bastard and an asshole... and I wouldn't have you any other way. You may have a rough exterior, but when I see you with Gabby, I can see you for the teddy bear you really are. There is so much love in your eyes every time you look at her. I know you give me a hard time, and I give it right back, but I also know that you and Lisa have taken me into your family with open arms. You will never know how much you mean to me, and honestly, you'd probably give me shit if I ever tried to tell you. But I love you anyway.
There are many other fathers and grandfathers in my life. And to each of them I wish a very special day filled with love, family and togetherness. Now more than ever I am so thankful to be surrounded with so much love.

Happy Memorial Day from the JBF Crew!
While it's easy to say "eat healthy," it can be difficult to know what to feed your child after you've heard "I'm hungry" for the 15th time in a day. Healthy snacks that boost brain power and strengthen bones and muscles don't have to be difficult to make. Here are a few easy recipes to get your little one on the right snack track. Encourage your child to help out – it's a great way to practice math, reading and science, too!
Monkey Mix
1 Cup Banana Chips
1 Cup Flaked Coconut
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
3 Cups Toasted O Cereal (like Cheerios)
Mix all the ingredients in a zip-top bag and shake well.
Fish in a Pond
1/2 cup lowfat cream cheese or cheese spread
Fish-shaped crackers
4 celery ribs, stems removed
Scoop the cream cheese into a bowl. (You can tint the cream cheese with blue food coloring to make it look like a pond.) Dip the celery sticks into the cheese, then into the bowl of crackers to "catch" a fish.
This is part of the Get a Move On series – keeping your child healthy through activity and movement.

Why are toddlers so hesitant towards eating vegetables?
From a young age, many parents are not actively concerned with feeding their children vegetables. This causes young children to lack the taste buds needed to enjoy these particular foods.
Instead, they resort to foods that contain high fat, sugar, and salt. Therefore, if children are being fed mainly foods that contain these ingredients, they will become accustomed to only these.
It is important to help shape toddler's taste buds.
Naturally flavored foods, like vegetables, have not been a popular choice for young children who are used to the sweet and salty flavored of processed baby foods. In order to shift away from this, parents must be willing to incorporate natural foods during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
By doing this, toddlers will increasingly become more open to the idea of filling their plates with delicious and beneficial vegetables.
It is a fact that if taste buds are shaped at an early age, one is more likely to enjoy the flavors they have grown up with. It may not be an easy task to accomplish, but start small. Create a food chart to track what your child is eating and where vegetables can fit in throughout the day. Little by little you will begin to see the difference in their diet and in their positive attitude.
To get started, follow these few tips:
• Slowly wean your children away from excess sugar, fat, and salt.
• Temporarily add sugar, salt or fat to veggies so they taste more like foods they have previously liked.
• Shift your kid's diet towards more natural foods.
• Allow them to have a yummy children's treat every once in a while.
Healthy food means happy children. It's a win-win situation for everyone! Try it out!

Miami Hurricanes
How the Pittsburgh Win Over Clemson is a Good Look for the Miami Hurricanes
When the Pitt Panthers shocked the college football world on Saturday when they took down Clemson, the rabid selfish fan in me thought of what this meant for the Miami Hurricanes. The Canes beat Pitt two Saturdays ago 51-28, it was a dominant performance. Now that Pitt has a win over Clemson, at Clemson, it makes Miami's win that much more impressive.
Let's also for a second take a look at the ACC. The conference has been dogged over the past several years for being weak. This season however has been different, because overall as we are witnessing, it's been a extremely competitive. And the teams have held their own out of conference. Going back to Pitt, let's not forget they already had a win earlier in the season against Penn State, which makes that two wins over top 10 teams for Pitt. Clemson beat Auburn at Auburn earlier this year. Florida State took down Ole Miss and South Florida. If FSU knocks off Florida and Clemson takes out South Carolina, which they both ought to, the ACC would have handled their business pretty well out of conference.
So for Canes fans, I know this has been a tough year. That four game losing streak was tough to stomach. But the team is on a two game winning streak, where they dominated their opponents on both sides of the ball. They should win these next two games, which would make them 8-4 overall. But that Pitt win looks much much better than it did when it happened.
As for the ACC moving forward this season, Clemson still is on pace to get into the CFB Playoff. Louisville is right there too. It would be interesting to see two ACC teams in the playoff, but that isn't likely. It is safe to say, that this conference is really really good. And Maybe that four game losing streak the Canes faced, wasn't so terrible after all. Okay it was terrible, but come on! Let's be optimistic we could be going bowling in Birmingham or something in mid December. Awesome!

the 2nd half of my post today....
I remember holding you during Sunday School a few days before you died. The lesson was on the beatitudes and as we discussed, "And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God." (I am quoting the scripture from the Book of Mormon) I marveled that you were pure in heart. For you were.
I know I agreed to this before I even came to this life on earth; to be your Mom for such a short time. I believe we were best-friends before we came here and that you didn't need to come to this life, to your mortal body, but that you came because others had lessons to learn thru this experience. And I am one of those who needed to learn those lessons.
I know I will be with you again someday and that our reunion will be full of love and joy.

One mistake beginning writers often make is packing too much narrative into the crooks and bends around their dialogue. I'm sure there's some technical term for it, and perhaps "blocking" is it (most likely not), but the result is something of the strangling type. Narrative strangling the dialogue. Little literary tendrils stealing all the LIFE from your character's words. (Yes. I actually imagine this in my head.)
So what is my point? Actually, I think an example would fare better here. Take this (very poorly) written piece:
Sheila walked into the kitchen. Her mother stood at the counter. "Jake said you needed to see me," she said.
Her mother groaned at her and lifted a glass. She sighed. "It's about your father, Sheila," she fretted. "I don't know how..." She paused and set the glass down. "He lost his job. I don't know how we're going to afford to send you to art school."
Sheila swallowed hard and started pacing back and forth. The sun was shining through the window, filling the room with moving shafts of light and she could barely see her mother's face. "What will we do, Mom?" she asked. A bird outside screeched suddenly. Sheila jolted in surprise, then reassured herself.
Mom didn't answer for a moment. Then she said, "You might need to stay home for a year and work."
Sheila came closer to the counter. She stood next to the stool her father usually sat on. "I can't do that, Mom!" she protested. "I can't stay in this town any longer!"
Like I said, it's pretty badly written. In truth, though, the dialogue itself isn't hideous. It's all the junk around it that's providing issues. Take a look at your scenes that are dialogue-intense then ask yourself, "Is all this action really necessary?" For example, if a bird screeches outside, who cares? And if Sheila jumps and then immediately reassures herself, is it really important? Unless someone is taking an action that is vital to the dialogue, you can leave it out most of the time. Here are some more examples of good and bad blocking:
Good: "Don't come any closer." She stepped to the edge of the cliff. "I mean it."
Bad: "Don't come any closer." She ran her fingers through her hair. "I mean it."
Maybe you feel a pause is needed there. Maybe you think the character talking should do something.
At least, she doesn't need to run her fingers through her hair—she's standing on the edge of cliff!
Let's look back to the original scene and see if rewriting it helps:
Mom was standing at the counter when Sheila came in. "Jake said you needed to see me?"
Her mother groaned and lifted a glass. "It's about your dad, Sheila. He lost his job. I don't know how we're going to afford to send you to art school."
"What will we do?"
Mom didn't answer for a moment. "You might need to stay home for a year and work."
"I can't do that, Mom! I can't stay in this town any longer!"
It's still not jaw-dropping, but honey, does it sound smoother! All we needed were the requisites — the kitchen, Mom at the counter with a glass. Everything else should come across in the dialogue. No need for "she fretted," for instance, because Mom's reluctance and lifting the glass shows us she's fretting. No need to say "she protested" when Sheila's dialogue shows us she's disputing. And does it really matter what stool Sheila stands beside? Unless you're setting something up for later, no.
You don't need to simulate movements you'd see on TV. All of that shifting around and noticing the dust on the bookshelf and recounting each and every time someone shuffles their feet or takes a sip from a glass…
If it's important to the plot or character then include it. Otherwise, throw it out. You don't want those unnecessary narratives strangling the life out of your dialogue.
Okay, now it's your turn. Pull out whatever project you're working on, examine the dialogue and look for bits of "blocking" you can cut.

Here is a super simple and really cute DIY lace top that will add some serious spice to the summer wardrobe and also layer well into the fall. It is so easy to make. The key is picking the right fabric so that it will drape well and will be easy to work with. I tried it yesterday with fabric that I already have, yet would love to get some lace next time I'm at the fabric store.
Hope you enjoy!

Many thanks to those of you who have made comments and sent me messaages. I read all of them today and caught up on what people have said. I enjoyed hearing from you. Unfortunately, I wanted to reply to some of the comments and it didn't give me the e-mail address of the person making the comment.
Today, I have worked on learning how to add pictures but they are always added at the top of my blog, not at the place where I want them. Our dear, sweet secretary at PTC has been inserting them for me. They say you can't teach old dogs new tricks and I guess that's partially true, but I never expected that I'd be doing a blog in any shape or fashion. Anyway, I've written Jennifer to tell me how to do it so I can try to learn.
I must tell you a little about how they drive in China. I've been driving over 50 years, but there's no way I would try it here. If there are two lanes, you can be sure the Chinese have made it a 3-lane road. If you drive in the middle over the line, you can work your way into traffic either to the right or left. There are 10 rules of the road, but David, one of our workers, could only remember two of them. He's a new driver so he better know all of them to survive. He said the two he could remember are these:
1) Whoever gets there first, gets to go first.
2) If the other vehicle is larger than yours, they get to go first.
Taxi cabs can work their way into any traffic, in front of buses, around pedestrians and bikers with skill. If I drove in China, I would really hate taxi drivers! No one stops for pedestrians and pedestrians are so brave they venture out even if cars are coming so they only know Rule #1. Drivers seem to think if you have time to just get a corner of your car in front of someone, you can soon pull ahead of them, and it's true. There seem to be no rules concerning right-of-ways. If there are laws, they are not observed by any driver. I cannot imagine how any policeman could determine who's to blame for any accident. Horns are always blowing. I told Ron that there are so many people in the road (they seem to prefer walking in the road than on the sidewalk) if you gave them the right-of-way, you would never get anywhere. I decided the horn is used to say, "I'm coming through so watch out." Some drivers do use turn signals but most just use their horn. The only good thing about driving in China is that you have to drive slowly. There are just too many cars, buses, motor bikes, bicycles, carts, 3-wheel vehicles, and pedestrians to go fast. There would be many more accidents if people could travel at a faster speed. So, that's the good news about driving and surviving!
By the way, this is the way people stand in line also. You don't make a straight line - you spread out and that way you can work yourself in and get ahead. When we arrive at the train station, we get in a long line for a taxi. Well, it's not really a line. As I said - it's just a mob of people in one area and as the mob moves forward, people push and go around everyone in any way they can. I saw one old lady (older than me) work her way through 50 people to get ahead for a taxi. I think they learned how to do this from taxi drivers!

Sunday book review – Killing by Proxy by Alan Stewart
Alan Stewart MBE is a retired police inspector with a wealth of experience in investigating wildlife crime. This is his fourth book on the subject.
Here is a quote from the author's introduction 'On driven grouse moors there is little evidence of change. While the licensing of shoots may help, the only real solution is the complete banning of driven grouse shooting'.
Clearly I agree with Alan (please sign this e-petition if you do too – Ban driven grouse shooting) but whether you agree or not, if you are interested in the subject then you will find this book a mine of expert information and of strongly-held views.
Killing by Proxy: wildlife crime in the UK today by Alan Stewart is published by Thirsty Books who don't yet list it on their website as far as I can find but it is available signed from the author too).

I'm getting this book tomorrow, looking forward to reading it. Thanks, Mark.Likes(4)Dislikes(6)
I have read all of the books written by Alan on the subject of wildlife crime they are all good. This one has far more information and discussion of crime against birds of prey particularly on grouse moors. If you are at all interested in this subject Alan offers a wealth of detail, not just on individual cases but on the law itself and how it might be improved, it is quite simply a must read.What makes this book all the more important is that Alan gives all of this information as a retired Police Officer, which offers a very interesting and important perspective into how the law works and of course it can hardly be argued that he is either a radical raptor freak or zealot. Go buy it, the book is available through wildlifedetective.wordpress.comLikes(11)Dislikes(6)
Could i ask, how much of it is about raptors.
I haven't managed to finish his first book (even they are all on my bookshelf) as a lot is devoted to other aspects of wildlife crime and the police which i have to varying degrees little interest in.
But this one looks much more like Dave Dick's excellent book which i am hoping will be followed by a sequel.Likes(4)Dislikes(7)
If you want to know why licensing won't work go out to villages all over England tomorrow to the Boxing Day meets being vigorously promoted by the Countryside Alliance. Of course, all will claim to be following drags but just like the killing of Hen Harriers who doesn't believe that many if not most will be pursuing real foxes ? And how to prove it across extensive areas of private land ?Likes(12)Dislikes(9)
Roderick, Interesting comparison. Had Hunting been licensed (and it isn't) it would have been easier to stipulate what individual hunts and individuals could and couldnt do, what a trail means, how many dogs, no terrier men, no digging, no blocking, requirement for monitors etc. Breaches of that licence could have result in hunts having that licence withdrawn. Instead the perceived failure of the Hunting Act can be attributed in part to the banning of certain aspects, whilst allowing hunts flexibility to interpret what the law says is allowable.
Banning DGS only would leave shoots open to pushing the definition of other forms of shooting. Licencing, if legislation was drawn up properly, could ensure that all forms of shooting come under the spotlight and could be quite restrictive as to what is and isn't allowed on shooting areas.
We do need the RSPB to get on board with this one, their knowledge is needed if licencing is to be an effective deterrent. Unfortunately you and I know how the constitution of the Society can tie down Council in such issuesLikes(6)Dislikes(4)
A false and irrelevant analogy. Licensing of grouse shoots REQUIRE the business to demonstrate that the area covered meets its ecological potential. How does the Hunting with Dogs Act do that?Likes(0)Dislikes(1)
One has only one question of them Roderick. Who laid the drag scent they claim to be following and when?
As Oscar Wilde said or was it George Bernard Shaw? " The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable."
Of course the Countryside Areliars will claim it as a great success and that most "country folk", a phrase that means nothing, support hunting. Actually they don't most have no opinion and of those that do most are opposed.Likes(6)Dislikes(8)
Afraid that I can't agree with Alan's general introduction comment in his latest book 'On driven grouse moors there is little evidence of change''. I can speak with regards to vast knowledge/experience of raptor monitoring in the Angus Glens and can safely state that he has obviously lost touch with this area completely since his retirement several years back. Surely recognition of these dramatic raptor turnarounds in several areas of the Angus Glens should be highlighted as a positive and welcome step forward rather than living in the past and constantly dragging up past historical persecution?Likes(3)Dislikes(1)
Plenty alive Golden Eagles in the Angus Glens Mark. At least 5 breeding pairs which will rise to 6 once youngsters mature. We have had a couple of pairs raising triplets which highlights what a tremendous food supply of both mountain hares and grouse. This richness of prey attracts large numbers of immature Golden Eagles which is why we have unfortunately observed 3 young GE's with satellite tag harness problems between 2013-16. One with a satellite tag dangling from its neck, another with the tag on its chest and a third with the tag under its wing. Begs the question how many other young GE's in other areas have suffered a similar fate?
We also have at least 1 breeding pair of WTE plus several immatures floating about the Angus Glens again attracted by the excellent food supply/habitat.
After an absence of 10 years a pair of harriers returned but unfortunately the eggs failed to hatch. Hoping for success in 2018. Historically the Angus Glens have never been a hotspot for harriers with an average season seeing between 2-4 pairs. As I stated above since Alan retired things have improved in the Angus Glens.Likes(3)Dislikes(0)
On which estates and are they driven grouse moors? Sounds more like spin.Likes(0)Dislikes(1)

ABB Power Generation Ltd., Baden, Switzerland
ABB Management Ltd., Baden, Switzerland
The 60Hz, 165MW gas turbine GT24 and the 50Hz, 240MW gas turbine GT26 are the first two members of ABB's Sequential Combustion System gas turbine family. These turbines are designed to offer increased output at up to 4% efficiency advantage over today's engines. Whereas the first combustor is based on the proven EV-combustor technology, an extensive research and development program has been carried out in developing the lean premixed, self-igniting second combustor.
This paper reports the basic research work concerning the lean premixing burners with self-ignition. The development of the burner and the combustor was based on wind tunnel and water channel experiments, CFD-calculations and combustion tests at atmospheric and high pressure.
Moreover an innovative cooling technology was developed to fullfill all conditions of the self-igniting premix combustor requiring minimal cooling air consumption. Special attention was paid both to a low sensitivity of the cooling effectiveness to variations of the imposed boundary conditions and to a robust hardware construction.
Tests of real engine parts at real engine conditions will be demonstrated in detail. Finally the paper demonstrates the potential of the sequential combustion system to reach single digit NOx levels by unveiling the results of the extensive testing program.

Casinos across the globe are filled with all types of players with varying characters. You can find a casual player who visits an online casino as a pastime, one who plays poker for a living and those placing bets like there's no tomorrow. Every poker player portrays a kind of personality. Check out the following to know which poker player you are:
Master Gamer
These players are those who set a budget and stick to it. They play with a specific goal in mind and work hard to reach it. Master gamers have the patience to get what they are aiming for. They have pre-determined how much they will cash out at. They stay on their path with the strong determination to get the best results.
Fun Chaser
These are online casino players who visit casino websites for fun. They depend purely on their instinct and expect a huge win after each spin. For them, gambling online is about exploring options, without stopping until they lose their adrenaline.
Rather than playing in online casinos for the excitement or goal, these players find slot playing an excellent way to relax from their daily stress. They take advantage of the graphics and soundtracks to be distracted. They spin the wheels comfortably and enjoy their time.
Just like the relaxer type of casino player, the loner likes to relax on their own. However, the latter use online gambling as a way to be alone. They avoid playing casino games with chat windows. They want to immerse themselves somewhere far away from the crowd. With slots, players can become an introvert and stay away from any social interaction at least temporarily.
The Pro
Online casino professionals have deep pockets and plenty of time for their cause. They have become fixed in the zone, picking casino games with lots of bonus features and free spins to have more chances of taking home the jackpot.
Lady Luck
These are casino players who strongly believe in luck. They tend to play on particular games and even shift games when they feel some bad vibes. It's not surprising for these players to be seen having a lucky item in their purse or pocket. In fact, they take simple instances as a sign of either winning or losing a game and they act accordingly.
Are you one of these characters? No matter what type of player you are, ensure you play in a reputable casino. Check out m w88 for more casino tips and tricks.
