Birth Wish Lists!
16th July 2012
So this week at The Baby Journey HQ – we have been thinking about Birth Wish Lists – what are they I hear you say……?!!??
Well, I have just been looking through an online shopping website and dreaming of buying a bikini (that cost more than my monthly mortgage repayment) – and it got me thinking about 'wish lists' You know the ones, you compile a list of luxury items, print it out and then leave it lying around the house waiting for your loved one to spot it and then 'surprise' you for your birthday….. it never seems to work out that way in my house!
We think that this process can be applied to birth – Here at The Baby Journey we don't believe in rigid laminated birth plans (although they are splash proof!) – How can you plan something as unpredictable as Childbirth? We do however, really believe in educating yourself about what may happen during the process – this means that you can have your own Birth Wish List.
So, imagine that you have thought about some of the things that you would really like to happen at the birth of your baby, but a sequence of events takes place that is out of your control, and you don't get some of the elements of you 'birth wish list' – but it's not a problem, it still results in a beautifully wrinkled baby, that is all yours to take home! This is the most important thing to focus on.
Being Midwives, we know that the prospect of the unknown can be quite scary – so it's good to prepare and familiarise yourself with what you might need to think about. For example, do you want your new baby to have Vitamin K when it arrives? Would you like the baby delivered straight onto your tummy for skin to skin or do you want it cleaned a bit first! Are you aware of all of your options for pain relief? Or do you want your birth partner to tell you the sex of your baby when it arrives in to the world?
It's a really good idea to strike a balance in between educating yourself about birth and being able to relax and 'go with the flow' a bit. We know that for some people that it can be quite hard to accept the unknown – which is why we promote the Birth Wish List idea. So what might you put on yours?
Whatever you have on you wish list, whether it be an epidural or a homebirth – as long as you get your beautiful baby safely in your arms at the end of it all – then it will all be worth it (promise!)
If you feel that you would like to learn more about Birth and The Baby Journey course then why not get in touch with us? We run a 4 week pregnancy course at The Manor By The Lake in Cheltenham where will can equip you with your unique 'toolkit' of skills for dealing with your new bundle! We have places still available for our September and October courses.
Interested…. have a look at www.thebabyjourney.co.uk/antenatal-classes/
Have a great day! Love Jules & Hannah x

It's one of the two most important festivals of the Christian year - and it's arguably more important and more central to the Christian faith than Christmas. But while parents and teachers are happy to organise nativity plays full of cute toddlers in tinsel, and even secular bookshops fill up with child-friendly versions of the Christmas story, when we get to Easter everyone starts to look a bit worried. What do we find so difficult about communicating the Easter story to children?
Well, for a start, you have to talk about death. That's tricky, not just because it's a sensitive and potentially upsetting topic for adults and children alike, but also because children's understanding and experience of death varies widely. A children's group at church may contain one child who has never lost so much as a goldfish, and another who has lost a sibling or a parent; and those children who have encountered death will have heard all sorts of different explanations and approaches from the adults in their lives.
Then, once you've got past the crucifixion part of the story, you're faced with Easter, and the problem of how to set the all-too-familiar happy ending in the realm of truth rather than fairy tale, marvel rather than magic. For children who have encountered resurrection in every story from Snow White to Harry Potter, this is trickier than it may seem. Neither do we want to lay the emphasis on reality so thickly that it creates false hope or confusion in children who have known the death of someone special to them.
What solutions are there, then, for talking about Easter, both to our own children and to other people's' children?
Firstly, let's not be too afraid of our children's reactions. Jesus said that we need to become like children to enter the kingdom of heaven. While that may require effort and imagination for us as adults, children have the awesome privilege of actually being children when they first encounter these truths. Let's value their reactions and learn from them rather than avoiding anything as 'too difficult' or 'too upsetting'. Of course I'm not saying that we should go out of our way to emphasise either the grief or the gore in our telling, but Good Friday is a sad story and there's no reason to gloss over that without allowing sadness as one of the responses.
Children see the story from where we tell it, and when telling the Easter story, we have the choice of many different perspectives. If we don't think that a child is ready for an eyewitness experience of the cross, we can tell the story at one remove - from the point of view of a disciple who ran away and only heard about it afterwards, for example. Or from the point of view of Barabbas, who doesn't see how Jesus dies, only knows that his death has allowed Barabbas to go free.
The Easter story is made up of many different smaller stories: encountering the witnesses one by one can be a gentler way of telling it, as well as a way of emphasising its place as history rather than fairy tale: there isn't just one version. With older children, why not make up a case file of witness accounts, piecing together the story like a detective who hears from Peter, Mary, a Roman soldier, Pontius Pilate and so on?
Finally, this is a story that invites response, so let's give children the opportunity for a prayerful, thoughtful processing of the story. In our family, we leave out our Playmobil Easter garden with all the characters so that the events of Easter can be played through and talked about. Last year, I was entertained to find the risen Jesus playing with three children on a Playmobil skateboard. And why not? Somewhere along the line, my son had picked up the idea that Jesus' death and resurrection mean that He can be our everyday friend - and that's all I could have wished for him to learn.

I have been a fan of the band U2 since I was in elementary school. Their music holds the dignity of all people as the most important thing above all else in this world.
Keeping a sense of dignity can be difficult with Parkinson's. As humans, our eyes catch those things out of the ordinary: the slow walk, the trembling hand, the walker being pushed along. Those glances and stares wound our sense of dignity, our sense that we are just as whole as anyone else.
Among their many great songs, U2's "One" speaks to the dignity of every person no matter who they are or what their circumstances may be. My favorite lyrics from the song? "One life, but we're not the same. We've got to carry each other." That is how we capture our dignity — caring for each other.
The video below is from U2's concert at Slane Castle in 2001 performing "One". I hope you can take in the lyrics and feel the dignity that flows through them.
Be well…Jesse

Could we run into problems if we add a Required custom field to any standard REM content type being updated by the REM timer jobs etc. like the course synchronization / system update of enrollments or other ?
If a custom feature adds the fields to the content types, will a Required field pose a problem when upgrading the REM software ?
It should not lead to any problems with REM functionality as well as during REM upgrade.

An official with the Hagerstown Model Railroad Museum asked Sharpsburg officials for financial help Monday night because more than $31,000 is needed to finish the project.
Delays and other circumstances beyond the group's control have caused the project's cost to be far more than original estimates, according to a letter the museum's vice president, Denise Troxell, presented to the mayor and Town Council at Monday night's meeting.
"We're running out of cash. I don't have a good speech prepared because I wish this wasn't happening, but it is," Troxell said.

Bella View Hotel Review - 28 of 37 Reviews
This is a hotel review for Bella View Hotel in Kyrenia, North Cyprus
"Our fifth time at the Bella View"
People ask why we keep coming back to the Bella View in Kyrenia, but when you find your perfect holiday why go anywhere else! This was the first time we booked through the Go North Cyprus website and they were superb, I can't recommend them enough. Not only did we save money but have a great customer service staff at the end of the phone from Garry.
So to this wonderful hotel. Our holiday didn't get off to the best of starts with a 5 hour delay at Manchester airport :( We lost our much anticipated first night in Kyrenia and arrived at stupid o'clock feeling tired, frazzled and pretty grumpy to be honest. That all changed the minute we walked in the door. With much hugs and from the staff we felt like we were being welcomed home by family members. Our spirits were instantly lifted and never dropped until it was time to leave.
Bella View in on a hillside half way between Bellapais and Ozenkoy. If you don't want to hire a car there are plenty of options in terms of taxis and the hotel's own shuttle bus. There are also loads of restaurants which offer collection and return services, so don't be put off by the location. One of the things we love is that every time we go back subtle improvements and additions are in place, and these along with attention to detail all the staff take very seriously adds up to a brilliant time every time.
We had a wonderful relaxing and peaceful week and as so many of the other guests disappeared through the day, we succumbed to reading books and relaxing, our must do itinerary can wait until our next trip......
Liked — Just a great hotel to stay - A*
Disliked — I've not found anything yet

Why Do Limoges Boxes Make Such Great Gifts?
Giving a gift is a universal way to show appreciation and gratitude to loved ones as well as strengthen bonds with others. However, choosing the right gift, one that will be truly appreciated, is often a dilemma. Giving a gift of a beautiful hand-painted Limoges box solves the dilemma of giving the perfect gift. A gift of a French Limoges to someone you love will not only be admired and truly appreciated, it could be the start of a beautiful collection. Exquisite Limoges boxes are gifts that are received with much appreciation because such a luxury gift not only says that you care, but, being meant for whimsical display, it continues to send this message to the recipient throughout the years to come.
Limoges boxes come in a large range of charming shapes and themes, each one
representing a special interest or notable occurrence such as a holiday,
birthday, graduation, new career, etc…
Just a few examples of French Limoges boxes that would make perfect gifts. Of course, you can choose from thousands of designs and shapes.
There are
many reasons why a Limoges box makes the perfect gift and investment. Here are just a few:
Appreciation In Value
A high quality Limoges box will increase in value. These handmade and hand-painted treasures are made in Limoges, France. Their origin merits the artisan's work and each one is respectively marked to enhance their individual value. Reputable creators such as Beauchamp, Rochard and Artoria are well acknowledged for commissioning beautiful pieces crafted by Limoges artisans that carry strong character, quality, and recognized name. Some Limoges box designs become very rare and thus triple and quadruple in value from one year to the next. These delicate, beautiful pieces are an aesthetically pleasing way to invest in your future.
Unlike many valuable collectibles, such as
stamps, coins, and antique automobiles, Limoges boxes are not always the same
standard size, shapes, and style. You
can be sure to be charmed on a personal level by an unexpected design that you
love and may not have expected to see in Limoges form. Although, if you are partial to collecting
stamps, coins, and automobiles … LimogesCollector.com has you covered.
Compact Size
A Limoges collection does not have to take up a lot of space. Limoges boxes are a representation of French art and grace in minuscule form. The compact size of a Limoges box lends itself to an easy and practical collector's dream. Whether you display your pieces in an enclosed hutch, a fireplace mantle, or your dresser-top, they are wonderfully dainty delights.
Not all of the magic of a Limoges collectible has to be limited to its outer shell!
Artisans carefully hand paint not only the breathtaking outside, but the
insides as well. Further art awaits you when you open up your Limoges box. Often a box already includes removable trinket pieces that will supplement the design and add to the
charm. And if you have a special jewelry or small keepsake you want to keep safe inside, this is a perfect little capsule. A Limoges box serves as great container to store objects that you value: your child's first baby tooth, your daily multivitamin, a tiny picture of a loved one, or the engagement ring for popping the big question. Possibilities are endless within your Limoges!
Whether you wish to have a collection for one of your interests or all of your interests, there are plenty of Limoges boxes to fit single or multiple areas of interest. If you enjoy cooking, culinary themed Food Limoges boxes are aplenty. If you love to travel, your favored mode of transportation and destination are easy to find. If you are a bookworm, literary Limoges boxes are a book-lovers delight. Art lovers can find a array of art-related Limoges boxes. You are sure to find something for everyone, and plenty for all.
As from the beginning days
of Limoges hand-crafted art, these exceptional art pieces are still hand-painted
today. Each piece is carefully crafted
and decorated by hand as a unique and special work of art. No mass production or conveyor belt assembly
lines. New designs continue to appear
today, keeping Limoges boxes modern and fresh, and fortunate collectors can
still obtain pieces from days of old. All
generations can appreciate the fun and heartwarming charm of a Limoges box.
It is important to choose your Limoges box from a trusted
source. Second hand markets sell look-alike pieces at greatly
reduced prices. These poor quality reproductions are no match for an authentic
French Limoges box. Reputable and
trusted sites, such as LimogesCollector.com provide a 100%
that ensures you are receiving a genuine French Limoges box of the
highest quality at the most reasonable price.
Why not start a collection for yourself or a loved one today, with pieces that will always stay small, but grow large in your heart and in value over time.

The well publicized engine room fire of HMCS Protecteur provides a graphic illustration of the predicament facing Canada's Navy with only 2 AOR's available to the fleet. The engine room fire that disabled HMCS Protecteur reduced the AOR strength to a single vessel. Obviously a concern given the RCN's far-flung responsibilities, it was made catastrophically worse when the decision was made to also divest HMCS Preserver, the sole remaining AOR. The ships were both old, designed to an obsolete standard, and facing severe limitations in where they might travel in a world increasingly concerned by the risks of an oil spill from a single-hulled tanker.
The Royal Canadian Navy now faces 3 oceans of responsibility and no AOR's to service those oceans. Add in Canada's global responsibilities and it is quite obvious that something has to give. We can easily imagine a situation whereby one of the new Queenston-class vessels is in dock for refit or repairs while our only other AOR is deployed. Flexibility is lost, so too might be the needed assets to provide aid such as has been the norm past disaster relief operations. Operation Hestia in Haiti showed the limitations of having no AOR to form the backbone of an RCN aid package. The surface combatant crews have done, and will do, their very best to make us proud in such roles… but the ships lack the cargo capacity needed to truly meet the needs of a disaster area. The Typhoon ravaged island nation Vanuatu, and Canada's lack of a vessel that can offer significant aid offers a poignant reminder that we can never know when Canada's Fleet may be called to action, or in what role.
One solution to permanently cure the two-AOR dilemma would be for the Government to authorize, and fund, a third class member in the new AOR family. This would provide for the predictable temporary losses of one AOR due to refits or operational needs. Given the funding woes of acquiring only two new AOR's we can easily believe that funding will not be forthcoming for a third example.
Berlin-class AOR, the basis for the new Queenston-class for the RCN
Given that we can safely assume that no third AOR is forthcoming, how do we resolve the dilemma?
The only perfect solution is a third AOR, but there is a "Good Enough" solution to be found. Strangely, that "Good Enough" solution fulfills not only the AOR role (in a limited fashion), but can also fulfill the Navy's wish for a "Big Honkin' Ship" (in a limited fashion).
The solution comes in the form the US Navy's Afloat Forward Staging Base or AFSB. The AFSB concept calls for a mercantile hull to be converted into a floating storage and operating base which can be positioned world-wide upon demand. The US Navy has chosen the route of custom building the "converted" hull in the desired form, but Canada needs to take a cheaper option. That cheaper option is the acquisition of a suitable mercantile hull and then converting it. Canada's need to take this route is predicated on two factors, money and building slip space.
Money is obviously a factor, and custom construction is always more expensive. Add in that as a "new build" that vessel would be competing with the existing AORs and the new CCGS icebreaker. Canada can ill afford to have delays or expensive acquisitions, so how do we proceed?
Offshore Procurement
Canada should purchase a suitable mercantile hull from an overseas yard that is experienced and setup to rapidly build the base hull. Once delivered, that hull could then go to any Canadian shipyard for its refit and conversion. This effectively takes it out of the NSPS slipstream that governs building space and scheduling. Canadian yards may argue that they are fully capable of building the base hull, but there are foreign yards that are building suitable hulls in job lots and with accelerated delivery. There is every reason to believe that some of those foreign yards could deliver a base hull before a Canadian yard could even get a keel laid.
For want of a Seahorse
For the hypothetical Canadian AFSB the Grontmij Seahorse 41 double hull bulk carrier has been chosen. The Seahorse 41 is a modern fuel-efficient double hull vessel that is proving quite popular in mercantile shipping lines. Built to PANAMAX dimensions, the vessels is able to dock at most major ports with ease and to transit the Panama Canal when required. The type is also capable of optionally being ice-hardened to a Polar Class 1C rating for utility in Canada's North.
As a bulk carrier, we can safely assume the type's ability to fulfill the cargo role of the AOR. For underway replenishment the AFSB would be fitted with an Astern Refueling Rig, and utilize the alongside Crane Rig. This limits the type to a single standard underway replenishment at any given time, but it is underway replenishment.
Hypothetical Seahorse 41-based AFSB
The image above shows a possible configuration for the hypothetical Canadian AFSB. Depicted with an astern refuelling rig, Crane Rig alongside stations and fitted with a large helicopter deck/facilities. This offers great flexibility.
For the AFSB conversion a raised multi-spot helicopter deck is added forward. Hangarage is provided below this deck with a port side elevator for access. Shop spaces for helicopter maintenance are also accommodated. Stores of spares/POL are contained in the two cargo holds capped by the hangar/flight deck conversion.
The centre hull is pure cargo carrying, featuring high-capacity cranes and two full cargo holds to be utilized below decks. The on deck spaces are suitable for containers, 3 layers deep. At least 24 40' containers, and a similar number of 20' containers can be accommodated.
Right aft the type has been fitted with an extended accommodation block to provide space for hospital and C4I spaces. Below the accommodation block (aft) are the engine spaces and fuel tankage for own-ship consumption. Under the forward edge of the accommodation block the hold in that location has been converted to a combination of habitability/storage for dry stores. At the bottom of this cargo hold are tanks for grey and black water storage, sized for the greater passenger carrying capacity.
Fuel tankage for the AOR role would be fitted by raising the bottom of the cargo holds aft, and by converting some ballast water tanks for tankage. Additional tankage could be added as 'modules', fitted to the two centre cargo holds as required. This is the reason that a Bulk Carrier was chosen rather than starting with a Tanker. It is infinitely easier to add tankage to a Bulk Carrier than it is to add cargo to a Tanker. In the AOR role the control station would be fitted to the same area normally used by containers. Conversion from an optimized AFSB role to optimized AOR and back is a shipyard task. Using modular fittings it should not be overwhelmingly difficult or time consuming.
So how would a Canadian AFSB fit into the Canada First Defence Policy?
- Conduct daily domestic and continental operations, including in the Arctic and through NORAD: The AFSB would provide deployed support to Northern Sovereignty and Northern Training Missions by provision of mobile temporary basing facilities that are ice-hardened (Class 1C). Significant impact the welfare of Northern communities can be realized by bringing "Southern" infrastructure right to the Arctic shoreline.
- Support a major international event in Canada, such as the 2010 Winter Olympics
- Respond to a major terrorist attack
- Support civilian authorities during a crisis in Canada such as a natural disaster: Provide deployable Basing infrastructure in support of assigned military forces. Lowers kinetic impact on the deployment area by being essentially self-contained, even with large military forces attached. Significant Hospital capacity and a large organic air capability (in final fit configuration). Large transport capability allows bringing significant amounts of supplies. In the event of a major shipping or air disaster in Canada's Arctic, the ice-hardened hull and multi-role capability may be essential in recovery efforts and in mitigating environmental damage.
- Lead and/or conduct a major international operation for an extended period: Provision of significant support to Canadian, or Allied, forces in a secure basing facility. Can be easily configured to support SOF forces, including SOF helicopter contingents. Can provided "mothership" capabilities to smaller vessels. Modular nature means it can be configured as a "Joint Force" headquarters, eschewing all transport functions. This may be particularly useful in situations where the political situation requires that the US be one of the Coalition, but not the assumed leader.
- Deploy forces in response to crises elsewhere in the world for shorter periods: Significant Hospital spaces and a large organic air capability (in final fit configuration) are extremely beneficial in crisis response. The large cargo complement which can include vehicles or landing craft as deck cargo ensures flexibility. The LCVP mk5 has a maximum weight of about 25 tons, and should be possible to carry as deck cargo. Even extended over the side that crane should have the capacity to load/offload an unladen LCVP. In final fit form, with two organic LCVP, it should be able to carry and deploy another four. Six LCVP is a significant force capable of landing a substantial amount of cargo/personnel rapidly. The modular nature means that a "DART" module can be built/configured to allow the deployed DART team to have even greater resources in disaster relief operations. Again, this significant force applies little, or no, kinetic load on the areas of deployment. It should also be possible to build a rather simple barge that can be carried as deck cargo and offloaded by the crane. That barge would be towed by the organic LCVP and be capable of landing cargo weights far in excess of what an LCVP can handle. Essentially, anything the crane can load on the barge can be shipped to shore. The barge can also form a floating temporary jetty.
It is in Northern Sovereignty Missions that the AFSB would excel. One can easily imagine the AFSB "parked" at Nanisivik during the construction phase, assisting in the conversion of that facility (and acting in its stead in the mean time). Once the facility is ready, the AFSB becomes the perfect resupply transport to support Nanisivik. Environmental concerns in the Arctic forbid the dumping of "grey" or "black" water tanks by shipping. The AFSB can support the AOPS operations by providing a storage facility for such waste water, and then by being the vessel that "ducks" out of the Arctic Ocean to refuel, dump grey/black water tanks etc… This allows AOPS to continue patrols without being taken off station.
The potential impact that an AFSB could make during a shipping/aviation accident is almost impossible to overstate. AFSB would carry a hospital larger than many in the North, can deploy a helicopter/UAV force in close proximity to search/recovery efforts and carry the personnel and supplies essential to recovery efforts. The support given by AFSB might be the difference between a successful cleanup and an environmental disaster.
Nay-sayers will point out that the design and conversion process would likely require extended periods of time. Full conversion however need not be the immediate goal. The Seahorse can carry out its essential missions with minimal conversion. We need only fit the extra tankage, a modular hospital and a bare-bones flying deck to provide interim capability. Once the second new AOR is in the water and joined the fleet, we send our ALSB back to the yards for its full conversion. Indeed, it is entirely possible that using modular construction techniques that the conversion process can effectively start even while the interim configuration is still at sea. Work can begin on the larger accommodation block in order to have it waiting for installation was the ship is available.
Perhaps the greatest handicap of the vessel chosen for this example is speed. The Seahorse 41 is rather slow, topping out at a paltry 15 knots. The point here though wasn't to say "convert a Seahorse". The point was to highlight the possibilities afforded by adding a vessel such as an AFSB to the RCN.
Once the full conversion has taken place Canada would have at its disposal a vessel which is ideally suited to the annual Northern resupply mission, disaster relief, support of Canadian missions abroad… or standing in for a missing AOR in time of need.

Concern about water in the industrial sector has risen rapidly over the past decade. Companies globally are recognizing that water is an essential component in their business operations. Without sufficient water quantities or quality, companies are exposed to huge risks when it comes to growth and success in their competitive markets. This includes disruption of service, higher operating costs, and constraints to growth for many companies. In the current situation of our water crisis, many organizations are turning water stewardship to manage the challenges of balancing their water needs with the needs of communities and nature.
What is Water Stewardship?
Water stewardship is about businesses and organizations understanding the risks they face from water scarcity and pollution. This understanding helps companies to take appropriate measures to help ensure responsible use of
water that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. However, water stewardship goes beyond being an efficient water user. It also encompasses the private sector collaborating with governments, other businesses, NGOs, communities, and others to protect shared freshwater resources. It's about taking responsibility for the needs of the global community.
Benefits of Water Stewardship
Establishing a water stewardship program, allows companies to understand all their water-related risks as an organization as well as the risk their use poses to the surround communities and natural resources. The risks include physical risk, which includes environmental hazards, reputational, how they are perceived in the larger picture, financial, the cost associated with all water use, treatment, and cleanup, or regulatory risks. Water stewardship is about implementing strategies that minimize those risks and promote the business's long-term viability. Water stewardship helps companies make enormous contributions to solving the world's water crises, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the UN.
According to the CEO Water Mandate, by implementing water sustainability practices, companies can:
• Reduce costs – Stewardship pays for itself through efficiencies.
• Protect themselves from operational disruptions due to insufficient water supplies.
• Maintain and strengthen their license to operate.
• Gain competitive advantage and boost brand value.
• Assure investors that the business is viable for the long term.
• Drive improved productivity and talent recruitment.
Steps to becoming a better Water Steward
Most companies already know that water will likely affect business growth and profitability soon. From a production standpoint, water is key to the bottom line of most companies. For a vast majority, water is already driving businesses decision. Location and proximity to water sources are becoming more important considerations. Shareholders and investors have a growing interest in how companies are addressing water issues. Water is recognized as a material risk, and stewardship is critical to long-term business growth. The organization can take following actions to be better water stewards:
• Increase water awareness among the company
• Understanding the impact of their actions. How does the use of the business affect the ecosystems of the global community
• Better management of company's internal actions. Water efficiency, pollution reduction, measuring and reporting, and internal water governance are all crucial elements of work.
• Supporting other water stakeholders with less access to the water resources.
• Should help in creating greater political support for progressive water legislation and implementation.
Companies realize that if they want to continue growth they must invest in advanced technologies that will buffer them from future water scarcity. Water reuse is on the forefront of implementation for many companies. Water treatment systems that can amplify processing by reuse and even initial processing of water sources at the least cost are in high demand. The Active Water Solutions (AWS) system has proven to be capable of such processing. Using proven biological methods which have low energy requirements as well as low initial and lifetime costs, the AWS system approach is well suited for a wide variety of both treat to discharge as well as treat to reuse applications.

Global Mercury Observation system in austral and antarctic lands
The GMOstral is initiated by a European project GMOS (Global Mercury Observation System), which is developing a coordinated global observation system for the global pollutant, atmospheric mercury (Hg). Through a cyber-infrastructure it provides with high quality data for the validation and application of regional and global scale atmospheric models, to give a firm basis for future policy development and implementation. In this context we have implemented three Hg monitoring stations in sub-Antarctic and Antarctic sites (AMS, DDU and DMC) in order to document and monitor the atmospheric Hg trends in remote places of the southern hemisphere and to study the almost unknown reactivity of Hg in those regions, in particular diurnal cycling, deposition, and reemission trends in Antarctica. After 4 years of successful measurements, we propose to extend these monitoring activities on 2 sites (AMS and DMC) in order to provide with high quality data of atmospheric Hg that are freely accessible in the frame on an international convention (Minamata convention) and a global monitoring network acquire longer data set (up to 8 years of continuous data) in order to document the seasonality of Hg compounds and short term variation. Are the international regulations leading to decreasing atmospheric trend in the Southern Hemisphere or are the trends offset by increasing natural emission (from oceans or biomass burning) ? improve our knowledge on the transport and reaction pathways of mercury using GEOSCHEM 3D model

The Food Cupboard at Third
The Food Cupboard began as a modest response to neighbors asking for help with basic food needs and in 1997 evolved into a full Emergency Food Cupboard affiliated with Foodlink. Food Cupboard and Dining Room Ministry are the cornerstones of Third Presbyterian Church's Hunger Ministries. Every Monday and Thursday mornings 3 or 4 volunteers prepare bags of emergency grocery items and welcome between 25 and 40 guests with coffee and a caring environment. In addition to basic food items, clients "shop" for bread, milk, yogurt, meat, and fresh fruit and vegetables.
The Food Cupboard serves individuals and families who live in 14604, 14607, 14620 zip codes once a month (with identification needed each visit).
Food Cupboard is heavily dependent on volunteers to maintain such a vibrant operation. About 60 individuals have committed to the following opportunities:
- Sundays - 2 or 3 individuals or families stock the working shelves
- Monday and Thursdays - 3 or 4 volunteers arrive before 9 a.m., prepare bags & greet clients until 11:45 a.m. Many substitutes are important to support the volunteers
- Tuesdays - 1 or 2 volunteers again stock the working shelves
- Wednesdays - 1 or 2 volunteers organize the storeroom & put away new food from Foodlink or the congregation
- Shoppers - several volunteers buy food as needed from Wegmans, Aldi, Walmart
- Drivers - every Tuesday a volunteer with a van or other larger vehicle picks up a large order from Foodlink
- Where:
- Third Presbyterian Church, 4 Meigs Street
- When:
- Mondays and Thursdays 9:15 - 11:45 a.m.
- Contact:
- Kay Ramsay, Food Cupboard Chairperson, 544-9022

At first for this fear assignment I wasn't sure want I wanted to do. I have many fears and couldn't really decide on what fear to do. I had planned on just doing something that I enjoy instead of doing something on fear. So that is why I drew a Pikachu picture. I enjoy art and video games so I made this.
But after I had heard what some peoples fears were it occurred to me that there was a fear that I could talk about and use this drawing for it as well. During this semester I have been having a lot of doubts about what exactly I want to do for a career. I want to make games, that I know I want to do but its what part of making games that I'm not sure about. I been learning how to model and make level so far but I don't know if that is want I want to do. I've been thinking about maybe doing concept art but from what I discovered from my drawing is that I would have to work very hard to get where I should be. So my fear that I'm having right know has to do with me being indecisive. I'm afraid that I wont be able to decided what I want to do and wont make any progress that I need to get better at anything.

OUN-UIA veterans demand official recognition of their status as fighters for independence of Ukraine
In October 2005, the governmental commission, headed by vice prime-minister Vyacheslav Kyrylenko, officially approved the findings of a group of historians concerning the activities of the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) — UIA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) during WWII. The commission also approved the bill "On Introduction of Changes into the Law of Ukraine On the Status of War Veterans and Guarantees of Their Social Protection (benefits)", to be further approved by parliament. The next day saw the events in Kyiv's central street, Khreshchatyk, which were witnessed by many people in Kyiv, and later by millions of TV viewers in news shows. Among eyewitnesses of the clashes in Khreshchatyk were Mariya VLAD and WU photographer Oleksiy ONISHCHUK.
The number of OUN-UPA veterans who survived persecution and concentration camps of the soviet era is dwindling with every passing year. This year they wanted to mark the 63rd anniversary of the OUN-UPA foundation by marching through the main street in Kyiv and holding a rally at Maydan Nezalezhnosty, (Independence Square), the scene of the Orange Revolution events late last year. The OUN-UPA fighters for independence of Ukraine regard the Virgin as their guardian and they chose October 15 as the day of the celebration because, on the one hand, it followed the day when the Feast of Pokrova (Intercession of the Holy Virgin) was celebrated, and on the other, October 15 was the 96th anniversary of Stepan Bandera's birthday (S. Bandera is a legendary figure in the Ukrainian struggle for independence, one of the OUN-UPA leaders).
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the festive march of OUN-UPA veterans, of their supporters, of the PORA (High Time) Party and the Narodna (People's) Party activists, started their peaceful march from Besarabska Square towards Maydan Nezalezhnosty, moving along the main street. At the same time, a loud crowd of Progressive Socialist Party (an extreme-left party) and Communist Party activists, All-Ukraine Soyuz sovetskikh ofitserov (Union of Soviet Officers), pro-Russian Orthodox Church activists, and others of that ilk (many of whom are ardent supporters of together-with-Russia movement), filled Maydan Nezalezhnosti with an intention of interfering with the OUN-UPA march. The square was awash with the red colour — red banners with black hammer-and-sickles — symbols of the soviet empire, red buntings, and Russian tricolours were everywhere. Among the pro-soviet and pro-Russian slogans and inscriptions on the bunting were: "Union of Orthodox Citizens of Ukraine"; "All-Ukraine Movement for the [Resurrection of] the Soviet Union"; "Novorossiya (NewRussia) — our united Fatherland," and others of a similar kind. This noisy gathering vociferously accused the OUN-UPA veterans of being "fascists" and "fascists' lackeys." Similar accusations were written on posters and on badges which were worn even by the children. Natalya Vitrenko, leader of the Party of Progressive Socialists, was, as is her wont, particularly libellous and slanderous. The crowd hurled their insulting remarks and slurs at the OUN-UPA veterans, at President Yushchenko of Ukraine and even at President Bush of the USA, both of whom were accused of being soft on "fascists" or even instigating "the fascist revival" in Ukraine. Poems and songs of seditious and inflammatory nature were recited and sung; calls "Kill the enemies, kill them without pity!" "Everybody will rise against you, fascist riffraff — even Jews and Gypsies will be against you!" were heard (this "even" suggests that neither the Jews not the Gypsies were considered to be the legitimate part of the Ukrainian nation). Russian newspapers Pravda, Trudovaya Rossiya (Working Russia), Raboche-Krestyanskaya Pravda (Workers'-and-Peasants' Truth), books by Lenin and by Stalin were on sale. The whole thing looked like a shocking and somewhat frightening throwback to the darkest period of the soviet times.
When the unaggressive OUN-UPA march was some distance away from Maydan, its further progress was blocked by the militant crowd among whom there were quite a few leftist thugs in red bandanas and vituperative inscriptions on their clothes. It did not take long for verbal abuse to escalate into clashes — even the elderly OUN-UPA veterans were not spared. Blood was drawn, though the police tried to disengage the attackers and the attacked.
The OUN-UPA were prevented from proceeding further to Maydan where they intended to hold a religious service for the dead. The veterans and their supporters decided to do it at the place where they came to a stop, but the militant leftists, prevented by the police from bodily attacking and manhandling the veterans, began throwing packets of yoghurt, mayonnaise, liquid paint and eggs at the OUN-UPA marchers. The choir Homin, led by Leopold Yashchenko, who had to provide the choral support of the prayer for the dead, were bombarded so hard that they could not go ahead with their singing. The hostile leftists spoiling for a fight numbered over eight thousand, and the OUN-UPA marchers whose number did not exceed three thousand, were no match for the leftist thugs.
The city authorities are evidently to blame for failing to prevent the confrontation. One cannot help wondering why the leftist gatherings marking the occasions of the soviet feasts never come under such attacks, and are well protected from disruptive actions.
"In this country, for the freedom and independence of which we fought, we have become like aliens. The former members of punitive detachments, former members of the KGB are respected, they receive all kinds of privileges and social benefits, and members of the Ukrainian national liberation movement have been left with nothing," said Teodor Dyachun, a participant of the OUN-UPA march and head of the OUN-UPA society in Bila Tserkva. And there was bitter truth in his words.
It should be mentioned here, that according to the soviet documents, unearthed in archives, over 500,000 OUN-UPA members were either killed or executed by the year 1952. There are only about twelve thousand OUN-UPA veterans still living.
Ukraine should achieve a political reconciliation in society; something should be done about social protection and social benefits for the OUN-UPA veterans (they have none). There is also an issue of morality and political will of the current leaders and government of Ukraine — leaders whom the OUN-UPA veterans supported during the Orange Revolution.[Prev][Contents][Next]

Sessionsaver extension for Firefox 1.5
Some of us used the SessionSaver .2 extension for Firefox in 1.0.7. There is a way to hack the Sessionsaver to work with 1.5 since the max versioning isn't set it up for Firefox 1.5.
Found in the comment section of the extension:
Here is a modification to a suggestion by Mr. McKnight on how to fix it: — "You can make this extension work with Firefox 1.5rc1. First you need the get the XPI file, get the file by going to https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=436 and clicking install now in a non-mozilla browser. Save the file to desktop. After that, open the file with an archiver such as winzip or izarc. You want to edit the install.rdf file in say notepad. where is says maxversion change it from 1.0 to 1.6a2. **You will have to do this for both of the maxversion areas. Save this file… winzip etc. should ask you if you want to update.. click yes. drag and drop file in Firefox and install it. It will work." — Thank you Mr. McKnight
One note. Edit it while still in the xpi "zip" file. That way, you can immediately save it and drop the xpi file onto Firefox. If you uncompress it, you will need to make it a xpi file again for it to work with Firefox.

Easy Oven Baked BBQ Chicken
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, read my disclosure policy.
Easy Oven Baked BBQ Chicken – this easy chicken recipe takes is FULL of BBQ sauce flavor and is made in the oven for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken always comes out perfect!
Happy August my friends! I can't believe summer is coming to an end; it seems like just yesterday I was looking forward to summer and all the fun it afforded and now I'm looking forward to back-to-school and all the freedom that brings!
We've had a ton of fun this summer and I'm looking forward to leaving my suitcase unpacked for a month or two. I feel like I've been gone more than I've been home the past few months, which was fun and exciting, but now I'm looking forward to routine, both with school and with EATING. My summer travel was capped off this past weekend with a girls trip to Reno; a group of moms I've known since Jordan was in Kindergarten try to take a trip together each summer. We go for one night and just have FUN without husbands and kids. This year we decided to head to Reno and stay at a big resort, lounge by the pool and go for a nice dinner. It was a blast!
If there is one thing I'm happy about with the ending of summer vacation (well, besides Jordan going back to school) it's that I hope to have a regular eating routine. I have got to get serious and focus on my eating for awhile. My 40th birthday is in just under 2 months and I want to lose 10 pounds if I can. Wish me luck!
The hardest thing for me about losing weight is my job. I bake cookies and pie for a living – and I have zero willpower. So in the interest of my waistline, I'm going to try to share a dinner recipe once per week to cut down on the amount of sugar going in and out of my kitchen. I have some tried and true recipes I'm going to share with you over the next several weeks, like this easy oven baked barbecue chicken.
Done in under 45 minutes, oven baked barbecue chicken is an easy weeknight meal with tons of flavor!
This BBQ chicken recipe is a spinoff of my easy chicken parmesan. It starts with chicken breasts (or you can use tenders) that are lightly breaded then baked. Halfway through baking you add barbecue sauce on top and the chicken finishes cooking and gets all flavorful and saucy at the same time.
The best part about this chicken recipe: it comes out perfectly every time and is never dry!
Plus, it's a super easy meal for busy weeknights. You can prepare and bread the chicken ahead of time even, if you know you'll have limited time in the evening. And kids love it – Jordan usually gripes about chicken because we eat so much of it, but she ate all of her portion and said it was delicious. I think the ample dose of barbecue sauce helped!
Ready to make dinner? Here are some tips for the perfect easy oven barbecue chicken recipe:
- This is perfect paired with a nice salad or some roasted vegetables. I rarely ever make a starch with dinner, but it would also be good with mashed potatoes or even French fries.
- When preparing the chicken, I like to split the breasts in half to make them even throughout for even cooking. You can also use tenders if you prefer.
- Use your favorite barbecue sauce. I love the one that Kings Hawaiian makes (it's sweet, so obviously it's my favorite) but a nice honey barbecue would be yummy too.
Oven Baked BBQ Chicken
- 4 4-6 ounces each boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 egg — beaten
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup barbecue sauce — use your favorite
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- If your chicken breasts are not even thickness, pound them even, or slice them so they are uniform in size and thickness.
- Place beaten egg in a shallow dish.
- Place breadcrumbs and spices in another shallow dish; stir to combine.
- Dip each chicken breast in the egg then in the breadcrumbs, coating both sides with the crumbs. Place in an even layer in the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken looks golden and crisp. Do not turn.
- Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken and continue baking for 5-10 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and chicken is cooked through.
