Throughout the world, there are tens of thousands of waiting children available for adoption internationally every year. Many of the children available for international adoption are considered special needs. This can be due to a specific health condition or disability, race, age or any other factor that makes the child more difficult to place. In countries where adequate medical treatment is unavailable or costly, children with health problems are nearly impossible to place. For most of these children, the chance of being adopted in their country is very small... generally only the youngest and healthiest children ever have a chance of being adopted. Also, in many countries, there are cultural, religious, or financial barriers that make adoption difficult.
Families in the USA and a few other countries have found that adopting children internationally is a viable and worthwhile means of building their family. There are many reasons that families choose to adopt internationally and many countries to choose to adopt from. The choices in international adoption are vast and a family can choose to adopt a child of nearly any age, heritage, culture, appearance or any other attribute they feel is important to them.
We became increasingly interested and involved in international adoption while in the process of doing our two Russian adoptions. As we were completing our second adoption in early 1997, a friend asked if we were interested in helping to start an adoption agency. Sandy became the President of the Board and led this agency until the spring of 2004. Dan also worked with the agency, beginning part-time as the IT manager and over the years becoming more and more involved and by mid 2003 was the office manager and director of the Washington State office. In the spring of 2004, we decided to leave this agency and start a new agency to more closely follow our desire to place special needs children. This new agency, Kids to Adopt, opened in January 2005 and places primarily special needs children. Since 1997, we have assisted in placing over 800 children with adoptive families in the USA and abroad.
Not-for-profit international adoption agency located in Vancouver, Washington.
A Child's Embrace provides educational, support and other services to adoptive families and those interested in adoption.
Adoption Services Northwest is an adoption agency consulting service providing IT, management and marketing solutions.

Phil Mackey is the general manager of the Mt. Lassen Trout Farms. His 30-pound rainbow trouts are hatched from eggs 'manipulated to produce fish with three sets of chromosomes instead of two.' The Los Angeles Times reports about these freakoid fishes (free registration needed), called 'blasphemy' by some purists because of their strange proportions.
Here is one of these gargantuan rainbow trouts (Credit: Robert Gauthier/LAT).
It's easy to tell how extraordinary such fish are after visiting their birthplace near Red Bluff, Calif., about a two-hour drive north of Sacramento. Mt. Lassen Trout Farms is a network of spring-fed hatcheries swarming with fish. Some are pushing 30 pounds. One of its trout, stocked recently at Santa Ana River Lakes in Orange County, weighed 28 pounds upon entry, nearly 2 pounds bigger than the state-record rainbow -- another Mt. Lassen product caught there last year.
"I wouldn't place him in the category of mad scientist," says Bob Hulbrook, chief aquaculture coordinator for the California Department of Fish and Game. "But he's a very sharp guy with a good background in genetics and, obviously, in rearing and raising fish."
Please note these are not genetically engineered fishes.
Achieving triploid eggs is tricky. Thermo-shocking with hot water must occur precisely between the two-cell and four-cell stage of miotic cellular division, about 10 minutes post-fertilization, which results in the fish retaining an extra set of chromosomes. The extra set renders the trout sterile, allowing them to conserve energy that otherwise would be spent on the development of sexual organs or mating. "It does occur fairly frequently in nature -- we're just making it happen more frequently by manipulating the spawning cycle," Mackey says.
The use of triploidy technology is only now becoming widespread as state fisheries agencies seek guarantees against genetic contamination of wild stocks. Because triploid trout are sterile, they can share lakes and streams with wild brown or steelhead trout. And because they continue to grow after diploid trout slow down to begin sexual development -- at about 2 years -- triploids are attractive as trophy fish.
Other private hatcheries have started to use the same techniques to get trouts weighing over 20 pounds. But they are far behind Mackey, who himself is far from the 'world record rainbow, a 42-pound, 2-ouncer caught in 1970 off Bell Island, Alaska.'
Even if this has been done to develop trophy fishes, it also means interesting business.
Doug Elliott, president of Corona Recreation Inc., which runs Santa Ana River Lakes and Corona Lake, has an exclusive agreement to buy the biggest rainbows Mackey can produce. Elliott pays more than $800,000 to stock his waters with Mackey's fish and about $300 apiece for the really big ones. The payoff: From 5,000 to 10,000 customers, at $18 a day for adults, visit each month during a six-month trout season beginning in early November.
If I count correctly, this generates $90K per day with 5,000 additional fishermen, or more than $14 million in increased sales over a six-month period.
For more information, Pete Thomas already published an article on the same subject, "Trout by the ton." You also can read an older article, "Cloned Food Products Near Reality."
Now you have all the elements necessary to answer the question asked in the title: would you eat such a 'Frankenfish'?

The mfg. gave me a brand new unit and for 5 months last winter it was OK. This summer we ran only a few times, maybe 3 daysa at a time, but very hot outside in Virginia so I did not worry about run time. Now in 70 degree boat and outside temp unit is running almost 100% of the time ( on AC power ) . Box temp seems OK and evap has frost on whole surface - I have T state at highest setting and still will not shut off, where should I start to look. I am very frustrated with these issues being now on my second unit.More information Tundra T-80 problemI do not have temp gauge with me, but even with compressor running all of the time refrigerator section not over cooling. Evaporator is U shape in freezer, frost on top section in freezer, no frost on floor of freezer, frost on all of section facing fridge section.Bad unit or Bad ApplicationANSWER: I have never seen a Tundra T80 refrigerator except on their web site. All I can tell you is if there is frost covering all of the evaporators surface area and there is no frost on the line returning to compressor it does no appear to be a refrigerant problem. If the evaporator is not forming frost over its complete surface the refrigerant volume is low or compressor speed/capacity is too low or there is poor condenser cooling. Frost on return line can indicate too much refrigerant. The number one problem with any cabinet refrigerators designed for RVs is when they are installed in a boat added condenser cooling is normally required. With the second unit having the same problems as the first this would indicate it is not designed for your application, or there is a boat problem in disposing of the refrigeration process heat. I searched my files and found our discussions in 2005 on the old unit sound like the same problem as before: POSTED SEPT. 2005 DB 50 in Cabinet refrigerator with poor cooling #776 joesailor Post subject: Tundra T80 Low Cooling ________________________________________ I have a two year old Tundra T80 with BD50 compressor installed on my trawler. The condenser is clean and ventilation is adequate. System can run on eith DC or AC. This weekend system started to run all the time and not cool well. The evaporator is the thin white type, box has top freezer, bottom fridge. The lower part of evaporator that also cools fridge has frost on the bottom ( in fridge ) but no frost in freezer. Measurements with IR thermometer show that lower plate inside freezer reads 17 deg on left side but 28 deg on righ side. Am I low on charge. Is that a leak, especially since unit was running OK prior. Amp draw is normal or low ( 3-5 amps running ), evap fan is runnign, not bad noises. What should my next steps be? I have some ice packs in freezer and jugs of water in fridge, trying to see if system will stabalize or just keep running, outside temp righ now is 65-80 degs. joesailor ________________________________________ A little more information , I have a Frigoboat SSC also installed. Wiht 4 leds I have 5 amp draw, with 6 leds I have 6 amp draw; I am running with 4 leds in manual mode to try and see if box will stabalize over next day or so. Could SSC have messed up my unit? ANSWER: You said 3 to 5 amps is normal operation for this unit, I would have believed it to be close 7 amps in warm weather with a warm freezer at 3500 rpm, (6 LEDs ). I do not have any experience with Tundra refrigerators but if the forced fan air across the condenser is adequate then a small amount of refrigerant has leaked out. You can add additional air cooling as a test by placing any fan near the air intake to increase condenser cooling. I do not see how the SSC could be involved in this problem. It the compressor were running a 2000 rpm ( one LED )and box did not get cold then it would be caused by the SSC unit. As much as I dislike anyone connecting servicing gauges to one of these small systems it may be the only way to correctly to identify the trouble. If it does prove to be low refrigerant level then finding and repairing the leak is the problem. Hopefully if there is a leak it will be the seal of the servicing port cap. joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 4 Posted: 06 Sep 2005 12:56 am Post subject: ________________________________________ Thank you for the prompt reply. I checked box again tonight, its still not cycling, and with 6 leds on ssc current draw is 6 amps. Freezer is now at about zero and fridge is just about 40 degrees, but for most of day it was at 42, its cooler tonight ( 65 degrees ). I plan to call Tundra tomorrow and see what they say. I am not original purchaser, but unit was only purchased in April '04 and has had maybe 7 months of use, who knows maybe they will make it right for good will? If not, how do I find a tech who will do job right? The charge for unit is 2.95 oz, so what are we talking about, a leak of a couple of 1/10's of an oz? joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 4 Posted: 06 Sep 2005 01:14 am Post subject: Self service Tundra & BD50 ________________________________________ Can I service this myself, assume I would need leak detector and correct gauge set? Location of leak determines if unit can be fixed? ANSWER: A current draw of 6 amps and a freezer that almost reaches a temperature of zero would indicate there is enough refrigerant but why does the compressor run continuously? An eight cubic foot box with less than three inches of insulation could require more than the maximum output of a BD50 compressor at ambient temperatures above 75 degrees. Could it be that when you installed the SSC that the Tundra installed speed resister was not removed and now the compressor is over speeding the maximum speed of 3500 rpm effecting Performance. Tundra would need a resistor as 2000 rpm would have been too slow a speed for an eight cu ft box. You indicated the unit did perform OK before installing the SSC, so what else has changed? On other companys cabinet refrigerators using the BD compressor that is AC/DC powered the thermostat circuit interrupts the DC power and not the module thermostat terminals. Did your unit have a jumper wire between terminals C and T instead of the thermostat wires? Is the Door seal in contact all the way around the door? Is the cabin of the boat much warmer than before? I prefer to avoid suggesting connecting servicing gauges do to the problems that can result even if done by refrigeration technicians. My advice is, avoid servicing now based on what is known and stay with non destructive testing until you have a stronger indications that refrigerant level is low. Field servicing a system that contains less than four ounces of refrigerant is tricky but it can be done.

It does not have a resistor in the t-stat wires. Actually, unit was OK after I installed SSC in July, did one trip over 4 days and it cycled correctly in auto mode of the SSC. T-state was connected to C&T terminals before I added SSC. As far as I know nothing has changed between July when I last used unit and this weekend.

I am heading south in about 4 weeks and need a reliable unit. Once I hit North Carolina I do not want to be trying to find service on the ICW so any other hints appreciated. We anchor out and I need the unit to cycle correctly and not overdraw down my batteries. kollmann Site Admin ________________________________________ The first sign of some refrigerant loss is that frost does not form over 100% of the evaporator's surface and the compressor runs longer than normal. It is very unusual for one of these solid tube connected cabinet systems to leak. There are two exceptions, a hole is created in evaporator when defrosting or the unit is old and the aluminum evaporator corrodes through. A sudden loss of refrigerant on a two year old sealed unit and still drawing six amps makes me wonder about condenser cooling, compressor speed and heat infiltration into the box. _________________ R.L. Kollmann joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 10 Posted: 06 Sep 2005 04:56 pm Post subject: Update on Tundra cooling/running ________________________________________ I spoke to Tundra today. They asked me to defrost unit ( done ) and also to remove the drain pan that sits below the evaporator in the fridge portion. I did that and will see what unit is doing after 24 hours. They told me that the factory setting for compressor speed on this unit is 3000 rpm. kollmann ________________________________________ My question still is, Did you remove Tundra's Speed resistor before installing the SSC? _________________ R.L. Kollmann joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 10 Posted: 06 Sep 2005 11:55 pm Post subject: SSC Install on Tundra T80 ________________________________________ I removed the speed selection resistor board that was attached to the controller before I installed the SSC. Today I tried forcing more air over the condenser with a fan, did not seem to change anything. Unit was defrosted at 9 am, all items inside were cold as defrost was quick, its now 8 pm and unit has not yet cycled - I will check box at 24 hrs before I call Tundra again. joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 10 Posted: 07 Sep 2005 02:42 pm Post subject: Update on Tundra Low Cool Runs all time ________________________________________ Twenty four hours after defrosting and leaving unit without opening doors here is status. The unit is cycling and running 60% of the time each hour at an ambient of 72 degrees. Inside the freezer is 0 to 7 degrees and the bottom of the fridge is 34 degrees. There is very little frost on the bottom evaporator plate and no frost at all on the right side where it heads back to the compressor suction. I opened doors maybe 10 seconds to take temps with IR thermometer and box needed full hour of running to recover. I think unit is a little down on charge and causing longer recover/run times. I am not confident that it will handle 90 deg ambient without running all the time. Plan to talk to Tundra again. The unit may have always been this way. I say that because prior owner of baot never ran unit on batteries, only on shore power or genset so would not have noticed it running all the time. When I used it in July ambients were lower, also I had some battery issues so also ran on genset some of the time. This past weekend was hotter etc. What should I do next. Tundra factory indicated they do not fool with recharging, guess that leaves swaping out unit? ANSWER: I think you now have established the design base line for that refrigerator. The performance is now reasonable on a 72 degree day, good freezer and refrigerator temperatures and only a 60% run time. In my 12/24 volt book I warn about using a single BD 50 compressor system for boxes larger the six cubic feet in the warm tropical climates. RV refrigerators are not designed for environments in a cruising boat, they lack enough insulation, condenser cooling is generally inadequate and the front doors are not sealed adequately. Because of your units present performance and six amp current draw I see no reason to worry about refrigerant charge. Nor do I believe buying any equivalent refrigerator type, same size, with same amount if insulation, could be expected to perform any better. When the ambient temperature is increased by one degree my rule is the run time is increased by four percent. By increasing the boats cabin temperature from 72 to 97 degrees the compressor run time would double and because this cant happen the box would warm up during the day. It would seem that when anchored out in tropical conditions the daily refrigeration power consumption will be 144 amp-hrs. The only things I can suggest to improve this units performance is to replace the condenser cooling fan with a high output shrouded fan. Do a ribbon test of the door seal and maybe add a door closed latch at both top and bottom to better load the door seals. joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 13 Posted: 08 Sep 2005 01:51 am Post subject: More Data on Tundra T80 ________________________________________ Here is some more data. Freezer 0-7 degrees, fridge bottom 34 degrees. 7 am ambient temp 72 deg, max today was 83 degrees. Box was opened 3 times just to verify temperatures. Over a period of 13 hours total AH used was 43. I belive that at 3000 rpm compressor draws average of 5.6 to 6 amps running, so that is again about 57-60 % run time. I appreciate your feedback. How does one do a ribbon test of door seals? joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 13 Posted: 09 Sep 2005 12:00 am Post subject: Will SSC help Tundra T80? ________________________________________ Richard, In light of the operating characteristics of my Tundra is it worth using the auto feature of the SSC? or should I run it in manual mode? or just take it off and go back to 3000 rpm resistor? Thanks for any insight. joesailor Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 13 Posted: 09 Sep 2005 03:35 am Post subject: Tundra T80 advertised power use ________________________________________ How does Tundra advertise that at 90 deg outside, 40 deg box temperature that it uses only 28 watts per hour? see here: http://18.104.22.168/Artwork/Dometic/Literature/Tundra%20Brochure/L-2007G%20Tundrabroc.pdf My measurements showed 36 watts per hour at 83 deg outside? ANSWER: How does one do a ribbon test of door seals? To test the door seal contact all the way around the door a thin ribbon is closed in the door. If there is no resistance when the ribbon is pulled out that area of the seal will leak. Should the SSC be removed? You know that 3600 rpm is going to be required in tropical weather conditions. and in cool temperatures their may be a small energy advantage by having the SSC. If you were to set the thermostat higher, then the SSC will reduce power consumption. How does Tundra advertise that at 90 deg outside, 40 deg box temperature that it uses only 28 watts per hour? Without having all the condition and parameters of their test I have to assume it is creative advertising. Should anyone believe a eight cu. ft. combination refrigerator/freezer box with less than six inches of insulation could consume only 2.3 amps per hour in a 90 degree environment? Not in my book.Just want a cold drink in mexicoI have a 6 cubic foot ice box ,top loader with 3-6 inches insulation and I want to convert .I bought an AB cu 100 air cooled danfoss bd 50 compressor and a large verticle evap.( hAVE NOT INSTALLED yet) Boat lives at 6000 feet on a lake near Durango Colorado BUT we spend 5 weeks in the Sea of Cortez the end of May and june and 60 lbs. of dirty Block "fish" ice lasts 6 days at most W/O much room for food. Air temp in in the 90s and sea temp is between 68F and 88F depending on our location.I have (2) 100 amp hour batteries and a 75 watt solar panel .Alternator is 30 amp on an atomic 4 ,I am thinking that the AB power plate might be the most efficient way to go as I would love to have a 2cf freezer with a proper divider and not listen to a compressor cycling .Am I dreaming or is this possible .Any advise is welcome Buz Branch S/V DOUBLOON Durango Colorado email <email@example.com>Will check condenser fan, amybe add more fansI plan to check the condenser fan next week by pulling out the box. I have no way to tell its running over the sound of the compressor. If I decide to add fans I assume using a relay off the danfoss compressor is safer? than trying to add to the existing fan lead that is limited to 1/2 amp. Do you have a specific recommendation for relay spec?tom discussed this in the unmoderated topic forum yesterday...Poor Refrigerator Performancefroinlavin, Thanks, but you forgot to list the un-moderated topic answer or at least the forum's address. joesailor has a problem and would appreciate any help you can offer, thanks again for your help.joesailor, Yes you will need a relay when adding a second fan to a BD50 condensing unit. A 12 volt automobile 30 or 40 amp plug in relay with either 4 or 5 spade connectors is the normal relay used for adding a second fan.. They cost from $5 to $8 at auto parts stores. They also come with a wiring digram on one side. Logged Print Pages: [1] « previous next » Kollmann Marine » ARCHIVES » Archives » Archive 17 SMF 2.0.2 | SMF © 2011, Simple Machines XHTML RSS WAP2

Lubbock's Natalie Maines: I'm 'Ashamed' That Ted Cruz Is From America
Natalie Maines caused massive controversy in 2003 when she said during a concert that she was ashamed that then-President George W. Bush was from Texas. Now, the Lubbock-born singer is making headlines for taking a similar stance on Texas Senator and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz
Maines' tweeted the comment along with a photo with contrasting statements from Cruz and President Dwight D. Eisenhower had said about war.
Eisenhower's quote in question mulled the "brutality, futility and stupidity" of war, while Cruz's quote (from a speech in 2015) promised he would "carpet-bomb" terrorist group ISIL in the Middle East and find out if sand can glow in the dark.
Maines included a wink-y face to let followers know she was well aware of the parallel to what she had said back in 2003.
We know that Maines is a strong woman who speaks her mind and isn't afraid of what people think of her or what she has to say.
Many Lubbockites and West Texans shunned Maines following her 2003 comments, and I know personally that in radio if you still played The Dixie Chicks following "The Incident" then you were subject to ridicule, hate and, yes, even death threats.
The question was put forth last year asking if it wasn't time to forgive Maines for her comments just before she was inducted into the West Texas Walk of Fame. Maines did return to Lubbock to receive the honor and received a standing ovation at the induction ceremony.
Let us know what you think of Maines' statement in the poll below.

Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she'd never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She'd been naive to make such a vow. She'd been naive about a lot of things.
Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school's party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there's Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.
When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

Udhampur (Jammu and Kashmir), Apr 16 (ANI): The parents of the minor Muslim nomadic girl, who was allegedly abducted, drugged, gangraped, tortured and killed demanded justice for their daughter and security for themselves as anything can happen to them. The father of the victim girl demanded capital punishment for the culprits. "We want justice, the culprits should be hanged. We feel the need for having security as anything can happen," said victim's father. "We just want justice for my daughter," said victim's mother. In Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, an eight-year-old Muslim nomadic girl was allegedly abducted, drugged, gangraped, tortured and killed. After being missing for a week, her body was found on January 17.

I was born in Inglewood, CA and lived in 5 different cities before the age of 18. I spent the first part of my life in Pittsburgh, PA and became an avid Steelers fan, and then relocated to Dallas, TX where I spent the majority of my childhood. Having lived there for 11 years, I was brought up in a household using sir and ma'am. My parents instilled a strong sense of moral values and work ethic in me at a very young age. Before taking on my first job at the age of 14, I was cutting the neighbor's grass and pulling weeds to make a profit using any resources I had. Whether cutting grass, selling candy at school, or even starting my own car wash business, I've always had an entrepreneurial soul. My grandfather, who was the first African American real estate broker in the state of California, taught my father, who taught me to find a way to work for yourself.
At just 18 months old, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and have been monitoring my own injections since the age of 8. Taking responsibility over my life and health at a young age, I have always had a deep passion for all things related to sports, health, and nutrition. Often frustrated by the complexities of living life with what some would consider a crutch, I've used athletics as a healthy way to take out the frustrations of life with Type 1 Diabetes. Channeling my energy towards competition, I grew to love the game of basketball, which I have now played for more than 20 years. The beauty of the game I love is that performance on the court stems from hard work, dedication, and the work you do in preparation leading up to game day.
I once had a coach tell me that you can't be a good basketball player without being a track star. Running, weight lifting, and dietary habits all contribute to you being the best that you can be on the court. As many have come to realize, basketball is much more than a game; it's a lifestyle – one that has ingrained grit, collaboration, and perseverance into my DNA.
Living in 5 different cities as a child led to me attending 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 different high schools. Can you imagine trying to belong to a team with all that moving around? Although I had tremendous talent, I never really belonged to a team. I'd say the move my senior year was probably the toughest, but it is also a story that has shaped my life in the years to come.
I had just worked my way into a starting role at Hebron High School in Plano, TX when my parents made the decision to move our family to Los Angeles, CA. Making the move, I had my eyes set on attending Beverly Hills High School, where I needed to participate in a lottery to be enrolled in the school (since I didn't live in their school district). Unfortunately, when it came time to start the school year, I realized that the basketball coach had forgotten to turn my paperwork in before he left to a trip overseas in Japan. Unable to attend the school of my choice where I had been promised a starting spot on their team, I had to attend Fairfax High School, who had won the state championship in basketball the year before.
The coach was very "honest" with me in letting me know that he already had his starting line up from the year before, but that I would be his 6th man off the bench and would get a lot of playing time. He also promised that he would take me to Hawaii for a tournament the team played in every year, in addition to enticing me with tons of basketball gear to attend his school. Feeling comfortable with that role, along with 6 potential college scholarships from coaches who had expressed interest in me from summer leagues and practice, I decided to join the Fairfax team.
The off-season at the powerhouse basketball school was an absolute hell! Looking back on it in hindsight, I probably worked out harder in high school than most college teams. In fact, one of the team's elite Alumni who attended Duke University would come back and put us through his workouts. Unfortunately, after putting in the blood, sweat, and tears during the off-season, the coach of the team cut me the day before the team left for Hawaii. He told me he didn't like my work ethic and that I needed to show him more of an effort if I wanted to play on his team. He also told me to work out with JV as a senior, which didn't make much sense because I couldn't play on their team. I remember that day like it was yesterday, and it ignited a fire within me.
While most people probably would've quit, I made a firm decision to not be broken and to fight for what I knew I deserved. After being demoted, a typical day started with me running two miles in the morning before class, lifting weights during lunch time, practicing with JV then Varsity, and staying after school to put up an additional 250 shots every day. I was relentless with this effort and literally did this EVERY DAY until I was back on the team. When it was all said and done, I had lost the 6 college scholarship offers I had entering the season, and I only got a minute or two of playing time at the end of each game, but I had worked my way back on the team.
I also earned a college scholarship at a Showcase Tournament my first year after graduating high school and was able to play basketball for Cal State University of Monterey Bay (CSUMB). I learned several things through my experience at Fairfax, but the one I live by is to never play the role of the victim. Being victimized doesn't get you anywhere but standing up in the face of adversity yields results and will ultimately get you where you're supposed to be even though your journey may be different from others.
After playing college basketball at CSUMB, helping charter the first chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi at the University, and graduating with honorable distinction, I have used similar stories as this to propel me forward to achieving my destiny.
I have also finally found a career that is equally challenging at times, but that has given me a sense of purpose, social responsibility, and value that aligns with the vision I see for myself. As I move closer towards where I want to be in life, I hold the lesson that I learned at Fairfax close and dear to my heart. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." As the great Ghandi once said, "We can't control what happens to us in life; we can only control how we respond."

The aim of the present website is to provide many different PE resources to teachers and parents, in order to feel comfortable to offer to their children an easy, fun and safe way for exercise.
The games are grouped according to the physical skills they develop, into 6 categories agility, balance, coordination, muscle endurance, muscle strength and speed.
Each game indicates the appropriate age group, the number of players and the equipment needed.
To achieve a safe PE session an appropriate warm up and cool down are obligatory parts of the session. An active warm up is to prepare the body for the proposed exercise. Therefore it should include mobilizing exercises for joints and muscles, pulse raising exercises and stretching. On the other hand a cool down helps the body to relax gradually and should consist of pulse lowering exercises, post-workout stretching and a revitaliser.
Finally the teaching points given for each game must be taken into consideration in order to avoid injuries. The games included can and should be modified and adjusted to any group of children so that the level of intensity is appropriate and enjoyable for any child participating.

Domenii publicaţii > Ştiinţe medicale + Tipuri publicaţii > Articol în volumul unei conferinţe
Autori: Grigorescu M, Radu C, Lupşor M, Vicaş C, Nedevschi S , Badea R, Spârchez Z, Crisan D, Serban Al
Editorial: Proceedings of 2008 IEEE-TTTC International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics, E-ISBN: 978-1-4244-2577-8, Print ISBN: 978-1-4244-2576-1, INSPEC Accession Number: 10207824, DOI: 10.1109/AQTR.2008.4588894, 3, p.118-122, 2008.
The study aimed to identify the presence of steatosis and differentiate between insignificant and significant steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Thirty three patients with NAFLD proven by liver biopsy and evaluated in order to stratify the degree of steatosis were studied. The computerized processing of the data of the ultrasonic image (attenuation coefficient – LS7 slope), and a biological marker (adiponectin) were evaluated. Predictive value and AUROC curves were used to assess the accuracy of the results. Adiponectin levels was found to differentiate between controls (13435.4plusmn741.5 ng/ml) and NAFLD (4552.9plusmn2473 ng/ml) but also between insignificant (9348.4plusmn7368 ng/ml) and significant steatosis (4501plusmn2389.6 ng/ml). The AUROC for adiponectin, was 0.899 and for LS7 slope 0.952 with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 84.8; 93.3; 96.5; 73.7, respectively 84.8;100;90.3 and 70.6 for the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis. The simultaneous utilization of these methods could substantial improve the identification of steatosis in NAFLD and the assessment of its grade.

When I visit London I try and avoid the tubes and buses so when the news came that London's cycle hire scheme would be available to all it got me thinking….
Imagine cycling along the embankment or through Hyde Park taking in the sights and avoiding the jams. With the Barclay's cycle hire scheme all you need is to swipe your credit card, hop on a bike and start pedalling. With journeys under half an hour free it's a cheap and easy way to get about the capital.
It may be a new concept to London but other cities are renowned for their cycling prowess. In Paris they have one of the largest cycle hire systems worldwide, with thousands of bikes and 371 Km of cycle tracks the Vélib proved very popular.
Of course Amsterdam is renowned for its bike friendly atmosphere, with 40% of all travel being done on bike. With 600,000 bicycles in the city it has to be a good place to start cycling. Even cycling novices can pick up a bike and enjoy a ride.
Cycling can be a great way of getting round, it saves queuing, crowded public transport and is beneficial to the environment too. I'm looking forward to going down to London and trying out the scheme for myself, or perhaps I'll try a European break and cycle my way through Bruges, Copenhagen and the many other cities with excellent cycling facilities.
Are you a keen cyclist? What are the best and worst cities across the globe to get on your bike?

Hundreds of soldiers at Fort Jackson got their Thanksgiving turkey a day early at the Army's largest training post.
The soldiers in basic and advanced training were treated to more than 2,600 pounds of turkey, 2,300 pounds of ham and more than 1,000 pies. Eggnog, dressing, cranberry sauce and giblet gravy also were among the offerings.
Other soldiers will enjoy the traditional Thursday holiday, but Wednesday's dinner allowed some trainers and soldiers to spend the holiday with their families.
Following a longtime Army tradition, the meal is being served by the soldiers' commanders and senior non-commissioned officers.

Woah! here comes the first post on this blog. Don't know from where to begin, but the only thing that I've realised is to be honest! and from the bottom of my heart, I've to say that walking down the streets and exploring new places in my city just brightens my day and enlightens my life.
You might don't know where I live right now. Tbilisi – it's the capital city of Georgia, post-soviet part of the world and incredible place of asian, european and modern culture reunion.
I've to admit that this place leaves all of the tourists unconscious, amazed and totally in love with our culture. Although, we usually don't tend to be "progress lovers", the only thing we are proud with, it's our celebrated hospitality. Tourism business is the main mover power in Georgia's economics.
Narrow streets, wooden balconys, shared gardens and warm neighbourhood – it must be very hard to be resistent to this kind of atmosphere. In case if you're tourist and wondering around where to stay at night, you can find tons of hostels and guest houses nearby and at its lowest price. Also, it's fascinating how modern architecture confluents to traditional buildings and surroundings.
Throughout the centuries, Tbilisi was damaged by thousands of enemies and invaders. Most of the city parts are reconstructed, but all in all, the old spirit of Georgian vibe is still vindicated.
In general, it's obvious that not everywhere you see old soviet Zaporozhets and high class Mercedes, Range Rovers or BMWs together in the streets. Our varieties of world view is what attracts hundreds and thousands of people. If you've been thinking about where to go in the near future or searching for the new cultures and traditions to explore, I must say that you've come to the right place!
Tbilisi loves you 🙂

Tuesday's Local Roundup
Hagerstown Community College suffered its first defeat at its new on-campus field Tuesday afternoon, but halted that losing streak at one and salvaged a doubleheader split with Corning (N.Y.).
The Hawks lost Game 1, 8-7, but won Game 2, 6-2.
During the second-game victory, HCC freshman pitcher Andria Cook retired 15 of 19 batters in five scoreless innings of relief to raise her record to 6-1. She did not allow a single hit and gave up only one walk. Corning (1-3), ranked No. 1 in the NJCAA Division III poll, had three of its four baserunners reach on errors.
"I went out there to do the best that I can to help out my team," Cook said. "I just tried to pitch low strikes either inside or outside in order to get them to hit ground balls. I think that I did pretty well and I accomplished what I needed to."

India Snow is currently studying Fine Art at Brighton University. I've known India since we were both very young – our mums met and became inseparable friends, resulting in many of our childhood memories being shared ones. Even from when we were kids, I was aware that India and her family were wonderfully unique. From knowing this, it comes to know surprise for me that she has grown with an ease in her ability to express her interest and affiliation with art.
Much of India's inspiration comes from the street art scene. Something that I love about street art, and India's pieces, are the sheer size by which they can be executed. This makes attention to detail perhaps arguably even more important – one line or dot that doesn't stay in keeping with the rest of the design can instantly stand out.
From my understanding, street art, or graffiti, began as a way to define territory – somewhere in America's urban 70's scene – and originally had quite consistent, familiar or similar themes. Now, street art can range from anything – tagging to pop art, from stencils to intricately designed conscious pieces, and every black, white and neon colour in between. From walking around Brighton, it's quite humbling to see large pieces which are even allowed to exist – although street art, graffiti and urban culture may be understood as art to some, its still considered vandalism by others. However, Brighton seems to embrace this creative use of space which would otherwise be grey, dull and fruitless, instead turning into something animated, often evoking deep though and demanding attention. For this reason, since moving to Brighton a year ago, India has entirely divulged in all the free art Brighton has to offer, taking note of inspiring pieces and keeping track on local graffiti artists.
What are your preferred materials?
Recently I've been using a wide range of pro-markers (quick dry permanant markers) to execute my art work. I think I like using them because they're quick drying and come in a large range of colours too. I'm hoping to concentrate more on screen printing this upcoming year.
You're leaning towards graffiti at the moment, can you tell me any inspirational graffiti artists you've been following?
Yes, I think the fact that I use pro-markers has a lot to do with my love for graffiti; I really enjoy following the scene. I've recently had a go at doing my own throw up (which I wouldn't exactly call a success!) but it felt good to do it as it's something I have always wanted to do. The graffiti/street artist that I like to follow are MSK (brighton based), Vodker (brighton based). I'm also into the street artist Miss van, Judith Supine and swoon. Alongside that, I've also have a great appreciation for artists such as Keith Haring and Jean michael Basquiat who have been pioneering in their approach to street art and graffiti.
Do you have a preference on what you like to draw?
I don't think I have a preference on what i like to base my artwork on, I think I rely a lot on intuition to help me make a decision on what I want to draw.
Can you remember what first got you into art? Was there a particular artists or moment that you can recall?
I remember being about 4 years old and watching a episode of Sister Sister which was set in the american suburbs. There was a scene that had a Keith Haring mural in it, and I specifically remember being taken aback by his stuff, even though I was at such a young age. So I guess that means I've always loved graffiti/street art. I must have been – I also remember being constantly pestered by my friends to write the titles for their work in bubble writing, which meant I must have mastered it pretty young!
India also runs her own blogg, where she photographs interesting people she comes across along her escapades around Brighton, called Concrete Dolls. Follow it here!

A Wonderfully Creative Week 2!
In Maths the children have been reviewing and developing their knowledge of 3d shapes to include recognising 2d shape faces, edges and vertices. During Outdoor Learning the children were 'Shape Detectives' finding 2d and 3d shapes in their outdoor environment.
In English the children have been imitating their new text 'Little Boat' by Kathy Henderson. To develop their understanding of the little boat character the children made their own little boat and 'splashed and played witht the boat that they had made'. They have drawn a 'feelings graph' labelling it with adjectives and verbs to describe how he feels at different stages of the story. The children also created a 'soundscape' using persussion instruments to retell the story through music. Just lovely and all done with such enthusiasm!
On Tuesday Year 2 received an important envelope sealed with red wax and decorated with a golden ribbon. What could it say?
The envelope contained a mission that if they chose to accept involved getting messy with paint and bringing the Titanic back to life and raising her from her watery grave. The whole cohort were incredible in their reciprocal approach to sponge printing and creating a huge mural. The finished image is very impressive as was the Titanic herself. Mission accomplished! The children also got a little messy using charcoal to sketch the Titanic! Awesome artwork Year 2!
A new approach to Reciprocal Reading began this week too. Every child reads with a partner the same text - 'Voices in the Park' written and illustrated by Anthony Browne. The children have 'made connections' with other texts - 'The Tunnel', and the 'Curious George' series. They have answered and asked questions about the written text and the beautiful and creative illustrations, finding many hidden elements.
Finally, Mrs Oatridge awarded the class 2 marbles in the jar on Friday because when she popped in, the whole class were 'lost in their learning'.

*Note: This is not a suggestion post or whatsoever, is just my personal portfolio that I will be heading as I am a newbie and not a professional financial adviser.
As the 19th of Jan draws nearer, the decision making of which stock to buy must be made ASAP. This is indeed a tough choice for me as there are tons of blue chips that I wish to purchase in order to get good dividends. I will invest in blue chips for my investment plan as it has lower risk (doesn't mean no risk!).
Personally, I have draft out some plan for investment, but I will be looking at companies with high dividends. Many would say it is not sufficient to look at dividends and I agree, there is one other point that I will be looking at is the sustainability (whether the company will sustain even if the market crash). These are the two points that I will be looking at.
I do not really care about the capital gain/loss in the first two years unless there is a news reporting that the company is at risk in failing, then I will sell away the stocks from that company. If not, I will keep them as long term investment.
So you must be wondering what is the duration of my long term investment? Well for me, I will do a review (if no serious impact happen to the company that I have invested) every 5 years to ensure that all the stocks are in the healthy range.
Everyone has their own assessment criteria for their own portfolio, I have mine too. However, as a newbie in investment, I will have to rely on the the two factors that I mention above.
So, here comes the million dollar question, which stock will I pick out of all the blue chip stocks in Singapore?
1) Starhub or Singtel or M1 (Second to Invest)
So why this stock? As I have mentioned before, I am looking at sustainability. Telco are one of them as with out them, how can Singapore live? Thus, the chances of them turning into ashes is practically impossible, if not Singapore will not be able to function
2) SembCorp Industries (Third to Invest)
Also, this is one of the necessity for Singapore where it function to dispose wastage for Singapore, so without it, Singapore will not be able to function
3) Capitamall Trust and Frasers Centrepoint Trust (First to Invest)
Shopping malls are everywhere in Singapore. Understand that there is an increase in online shopping but without shopping centers, it will be a boring country to live in!
After reading through, you might be thinking why not DBS bank? For me is because the required capital is quite high DBS - $20.45 per share if bought one lot, it will cost $2045. Unless the dividends is really good if not I wont go in (if want to go in, probably go ii in April since their dividend is in May and August)

Brazil's Primary Balance Turns Red on Weaker Treasury Surplus
CEIC Brazil Data Talk: Brazil's primary balances – a narrow definition comprising the excess of government revenue over government transfers and expenditures – along with the overall fiscal balance are among the key indicators used for evaluating the sustainability of Brazil's public debt. Brazil's central government balance has deteriorated recently, with the September 2013 primary balance showing a deficit of BRL10.47 billion, its worst outcome since December 2008. This translates to an overall central government deficit of BRL19.73 billion (excluding nominal interest), having widened from BRL6.00 billion during September 2012. The large primary deficit is attributable to both weakening treasury balances and relatively high social security expenditure during September 2013. Social security deficits, especially in urban areas, have tended to be larger during September since 2006 due to advance payments of year-end benefits disbursed during the period. This was further compounded this September by low treasury balances – amounting to just BRL1.32 billion, compared to BRL12.48 billion during September 2012 – which proved insufficient to counteract the higher deficits in the social security accounts. The Treasury has identified higher subsidies for the energy sector (to cover for increased costs of thermal plants as hydroelectric plants sees lower electricity production due to the dry season) as a contributing factor in its weaker treasury balances. This has been further exacerbated by the increase in allowances and unemployment insurance contained in the worker support fund (Fundo de Assistncia ao Trabalhador or FAT) and central government transfers to states and municipalities during the same period. Expenditures for allowances and unemployment insurance increased to BRL5.17 billion during the period from BRL3.2 billion during September 2012, while transfers to states and municipalities increased to BRL14.03 billion from BRL10.86 billion during September 2012. Statistics from the Central Bank of Brazil reveal that the September public sector primary surplus narrowed sharply to BRL74.1 billion (accumulated over the last 12 months), or 1.59% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), from BRL84.74 billion (1.82% of GDP) during the previous month. Taking into account nominal interest, the public sector deficit rose to 3.33% of GDP, its third increase since July 2013; the deficit amounted to 2.83% of GDP in June 2013. However, notwithstanding the September 2013 primary deficit, the gross general government debt hardly changed; indeed it declined marginally to BRL2.75 trillion as of September 2013 owing to a reduction of foreign debt. This translates to a decline in gross government debt as a percentage of GDP to 58.75% as of September 2013, its second consecutive monthly decline from 59.42% in July 2013. Given the relatively seasonal impact of the primary deficit in September and the non-recurring nature of the increased central government expenses, the administration is confident that it would be able to reverse the deficit and achieve the federal government goal of 2.30% primary sector surplus for the fiscal year ending December 2013 (approximately BRL73 billion). The finance ministry has also attributed weak prior fiscal balances to tax reduction throughout 2012 to help boost economic activities though it anticipates that improving economic activity during the coming months will help increase profits and tax collections moving forward.

text: I love to cook, eat, read, write. But, the need for writing about food came strictly from my journey as a health journalist and made me realise that it has become extremely essential because in India the consumers have very little choices when it comes to healthy food options. And, sometimes we don't feel the need to read up on that ingredient list. Why am I not aware of what is available in the food market? I used to be that consumer, but, then I asked myself Why? Don't I love myself enough? Which I do, so I make that extra effort to know what I am eating. I am still learning though. I hope I can help you all be more informed and ask for the right stuff. In the end, health is wealth.

520 Breaks for Select Companies Added to Tax Bill
Thursday, December 14, 2006
A huge tax bill that Congress passed last week contained a little-noticed gift for select corporations -- tens of millions of dollars in breaks on import tariffs.
Early Saturday morning, in the frantic final hours of the 109th Congress, lawmakers rolled 520 tariff suspensions into the must-pass bill. The provisions will reduce or eliminate taxes on imported products as varied as shoes, camcorders and boiled oysters.
While such suspensions have been around for decades, the flurry of provisions pushed this Congress to a record of nearly 800 for the year. Corporate lobbyists often craft such suspensions to apply to just one product imported by just one company. Many of those companies and their executives have given millions of dollars to political campaigns.
This week, leaders from both parties called for changes in the system.
"This is just good old-fashioned pork," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), vice chairman of the House Republican Conference for the 109th Congress. Kingston described the suspensions as a stealthy version of the congressional earmark -- a term for a measure that directs the government to spend public money on behalf of a particular special interest.
"A lot of members of Congress are just clueless as to what is going on," Kingston said. "You can spend money away or you can tax-credit it away. Either way, somebody else is going to pick up the difference."
Congressional sponsors of the suspensions say they are trying to lower consumer prices and create jobs by cutting costs for retailers and U.S. manufacturers. They say that they generally drop the legislation if trade officials find a U.S. competitor that objects.
Few, if any, of the arcanely worded tariff provisions identify the company that initiated the measure. Some provisions do not identify the product as well, referring instead to strings of numbers keyed to tariff tables as big as telephone directories.
Under informal congressional guidelines, individual tariff suspensions are supposed to cost no more than $500,000 a year in lost taxes. But a Washington Post investigation, published in September, found that the authors of a number of the provisions managed to quietly file multiple measures aimed at a single product. That strategy can allow individual importers to pocket millions of dollars in tax savings.
Rep. Sander M. Levin (D-Mich.), who is expected to chair the House Ways and Means subcommittee on trade next year, said yesterday that he favors including in the suspension measures the names of the companies that would benefit. He also wants to close loopholes that allow companies to evade the $500,000 cap.
"The old days of lack of transparency, I think those days have to end," Levin said. "These are supposed to be small items. . . . I am in favor of keeping it small and making it totally open."
Altogether, the suspensions passed this year could cost the Treasury hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue. The previous Congress approved about 440 new and extended suspensions, at an estimated cost of $172 million.

But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man. 4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. The Law and Sin 7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "You shall not covet." 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good. 13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful. 14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
