Thousands of students at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) will be given the opportunity to be tested for HIV during National HIV Testing Week.
An HIV testing clinic is being held at the Breathing Space on DMU's campus from Saturday 17 November until Friday 23 November, which is free and open to all students and staff.
The clinic is provided by Leicestershire charity LASS, who work collaboratively to raise awareness about HIV and sexual health and provide support and advocacy services for people who are living with or affected by HIV.
Students are being encouraged to 'give HIV the finger' by taking a simple finger prick test which can provide an immediate diagnosis of HIV.
Professor Rusi Jaspal, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research, was given an early test last week in order to show students how simple and beneficial the test is.
He said: "I really wanted to demonstrate to our students how quick, easy and painless it is to have an HIV test. It's something that we should all be considering because if we really want to end the HIV epidemic, which is absolutely possible, we've got to know our HIV status.
"Awareness is key, and if the test does come back positive, nowadays the prognosis for somebody living with HIV is very good if they start treatment early.
"I think it's really important for students to know that this service is available. They will be fully supported by the excellent team and provided with the services they need if necessary."
The test takes only a few minutes and consists of a small drop of blood being extracted from a finger and then mixed with a solution which will identify HIV within around five minutes.
Alastair Hudson, Chief Executive of LASS, said: "We're hoping to enthuse staff and students with the opportunity to test for HIV.
"Testing is one of the most crucial aspects of HIV management and prevention. We know that living with HIV nowadays can be as simple as one tablet a day for most people and it can have negligible impact on your health and wellbeing if you're in diagnosed care and managing your diagnosis well."
The clinic is part of the wider #HealthyDMU initiative, which aims to create an environment that focuses on health and wellbeing so students live a healthy, happy and productive life.

#HealthyDMU provides resources that support students' development and studies, helping them to succeed and to achieve their potential.
Head of Student Welfare Phil Scarffe explained: "We're aware of the fact that there are a lot of people who have HIV that haven't been diagnosed and that is particularly relevant in the BAME community.
DMU is a dynamic university, read about what we have been up to in our latest news section.

Product Comparison: ECHO PB-580T vs Husqvarna 350BT
General Specifications
About the Product
Combination of Economical Performance, Dependability and Comfort. 58.2cc professional-grade, 2-stroke engine delivers superior power and durability
The Husqvarna 350BT is a unique, lightweight backpack leaf blower with the large landowner in mind. This popular 50 cc mid-size blower features a new, powerful X-TORQ engine for increased power, better fuel economy and reduced emissions. The harness and controls are ergonomically designed for high capacity and ease of use. Throttle controls are mounted on the tube.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
ECHO PB-580T Backpack Blower
- This Echo backpack blower packs some serious power. It's in their mid-to-upper range for engine displacement and performance, with a 58.2 cc two-cycle engine. Air speeds at the nozzle are up to 215 MPH, with 510 CFM output.
- After doing research on multiple brands, choosing this Echo was a no-brainer. 215MPH @ 510CFM EASILY handled the massive amount of leaves dumped by our trees.
- It was cheaper than the Husky and had a higher wind speed, 215 vs. the Husky 180. So I made the purchase. This thing is incredible! It moves everything, soaking wet leaves, sticks, acorns, small animals and children don't stand a chance. It will move them.
- This blower does the job. Easy to start, plenty of wind speed to move the leaves where you want them.
- Its not a commercial blower, but it should have lasted more than 2 years.
- The issue is that after about ten minutes running at full speed suddenly it starts acting like the chock is on or its running out of fuel.
Husqvarna 350BT 2.1 HP CARB Compliant X-Torq Engine Leaf Blower
- The CFM is absolutely amazing, it took me 1/3 the time to do my 1/2 acre lawn, compared to what I had before, a handheld.
- The option of setting the speed where ever you want and it stays there (much easier on the trigger finger) or you can use the trigger like other blowers it you want.
- Powerful and cleans really well. The variable speed comes in really handy. I set it to low and it will blow off a light cover of leaves without disturbing the mulch underneath.
- The Husqvarna has excellent blowing force, and it allows you to set the control in place and then let go so it still blows at the speed you pre-set!
- Wish for a little more power (wind speed).
- It runs fine on start up but after 10 minutes it will make knocking noise and die unless I reduce the throttle to 1/2 speed. I searched the internet for solutions... It seems their are countless 150BT and 350BT blowers with this "knocking and reduced power" issue.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
ECHO PB-580T Backpack Blower
- I have used many other backpack blowers. None come close to the power or comfort of the PB 580t. Once I put it on I barely knew it was there. The fan motor kept my back cool and the weight was distributed.
- Best purchase I've made in a while! great power! not that bad in weight!
- I was concerned about the weight , because I'm tall and slender, but the weight was no problem . After wearing it for a little while , I got so use to it , it felt weird to take it off !
- I heard the weight was a lot. I don't think so. Once it was on my back I hardly felt it.
Husqvarna 350BT 2.1 HP CARB Compliant X-Torq Engine Leaf Blower
- The backpack is comfortable to use, no fatigue even when wearing it sporadically all day.
- This blower is much easier to use than the old handheld model it replaced. It's 26 lb weight is no problem.
- If this is going to be used by a small person for a long time check the that the weight will not be an issue.
- Fit the straps to your body first and the weight isn't to bad to carry around.

What customers say about "Features"
ECHO PB-580T Backpack Blower
- Despite all that power, it only clocks in at 70 dB, which is quiet enough to operate comfortably without hearing protection.
- I like having an adjustable throttle as a trigger - - however it also has a full open feature if you are constantly blowing.
- Super powerful something I wasn't expecting is when you are blowing air circulates around your back to keep it cool. An awesome feature!
- This product works great . I like the feature of the back cooler. I look forward to using this blower as summer comes on.
- The only con is its a bit clumsy getting it on my shoulders then maneuvering the blower tube to get started.
Husqvarna 350BT 2.1 HP CARB Compliant X-Torq Engine Leaf Blower
- Its actually pretty quiet, compared to the Troy-Built monster I had before.
- The cruise control is an awesome feature. Super intuitive and easy to adjust.
- The control handle itself is also really easy to adjust to your liking. You can move it toward or away from yourself, left/right, and change the wrist angle.
- A few great features are the large gas tank, padded straps with plenty of adjustment, and wand mounted throttle. The thing I really like is the thumb operated secondary throttle that lets you set the throttle so that you don't have to keep your hand in the same position through the entire job.
- Two sections of the tube fit too tight to easily go together and turn in place, the other is loose. Need better quality control on that.
- The gas tank fill tube could be better situated to top off the tank.

What customers say about "Power"
ECHO PB-580T Backpack Blower
- I used it for about 45 min, and had only used half of the fuel in the tank. That seemed pretty efficient seeing how I was at full speed about 75% of the time.
- The power is enough for heavy wet leaves and the backpack allows you to use it for long periods of time without wearing you out.
- Starts within 2 pulls. The tank holds about a full gallon of fuel---great it you are using in a commercial setting but would probably suggest only filling half way for home use just to minimize the additional weight when it's in limited use.
- Like the tank, fuel last . cleared over an acre without refueling
Husqvarna 350BT 2.1 HP CARB Compliant X-Torq Engine Leaf Blower
- The tank is fairly large, so most jobs can be done with one tank.
- It used 1/3 the petrol it used to take me to do my lawn, very happy about that.
- It has a bigger gas tank and uses less gas, I never have to refill the tank in the middle of a job.
- The gas tank is good for about 45 minutes at wide open throttle.
- Uses a a lot of gas for the power you get.

There seems to be a huge push back against the haters of the world. Most of the time I would agree, the more haters you have the better. After all, that means you're doing something right – right?
Then again, the rule of thumb is usually that if most people think the same thing there might be something to that. People in the spotlight sometimes forget that those who kiss your ass aren't always telling you the truth. Family members don't always tell you the truth. Quite honestly, those closest to you can be your worst enablers.
If you don't believe that just watch American Idol during the audition rounds. The producers on purpose pick some of the worst singers to be on TV – just for ratings so the collective masses can laugh at them. But someone close to them told them they COULD sing and they think they are good enough to make it to Hollywood. None of them think THEY are the joke "singers" that people at home laugh at. For them their audtion is real and they think they have a chance. How cruel that those who love them didn't and couldn't tell them the truth.
Yet their critics did. And they weren't prepared for it. Those who love them did them a greater disservice then those who never met them before.
Sure, we all want those we love and care about to succeed. But sometimes you have to bypass the sugar coated "of course you are wonderful at everything you do dear!" and tell them the hard truth.
And that's where the haters come in. They have no problems telling you the truth. Even if it's drowned in jealousy and hatred.
I'm not saying take all of it to heart by any means. But sift through what they say. If there is a resonating theme you might want to listen to it.
If you choose not to, of course, that's your choice. But you might learn something about yourself if you do. You don't have to let the weight of the haters crush you, but you should pay attention to what people who don't know you are saying about you, especially if you are in the public eye. Enough haters can shorten your 15 minutes of fame. Not all press is good press. Some of it can destroy a career. Better to listen to those who have nothing invested in your fame than those who live off it.
But then again I guess the fear of hearing something bad about yourself, something those close to you might fear telling you, is too much to bear. But it might just make you better. And there are those who fear that too.
Just my two cent rant for the morning.

Residents of Riangabi village in Kerera location are mourning the death of a 25-year-old man who committed suicide after his girlfriend allegedly eloped with another man.
Confirming the incident, Kerera location chief Calvin Keng'wara said the deceased, Victor Ongeri Kegengo, looked disturbed after he received news that a woman he has been having an affair with eloped with another man to Nairobi.
"Kegengo has been a quiet man who could hardly quarrel with locals. The news about his girlfriend who eloped with another man to Nairobi disturbed him to the extent he threatened to end his life," said the chief.
The administrator said Mr Kegengo returned home from a nearby shopping center on Friday at 9pm and told his parents that he was contemplating suicide.
"He retired to bed after informing his parents about his girlfriend's decision to elope with another man. His lifeless body was found hanging from a roof of his house," he stated.
He urged youths to stop opting to suicide when faced with difficulties in life.
The chief said the body of the deceased was moved to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary awaiting burial.

26 March 2007
ANZAC Day in Hamilton will recreate the famous Belgium Menin Gate Ceremony and incorporate the unique presence of a visiting delegation from Ieper (pronounced ee-per), Belgium.
Four Belgium delegates being the Mayor of Ieper, the Chairman and two buglers from the Last Post Association, have been invited by Council to participate in the 10am ANZAC ceremony at Memorial Park.
The impetus behind the delegation's visit is Hamilton's recognition of the ongoing tribute and honour that European countries, particularly Belgium, pay to our fallen ANZAC soldiers on an ongoing basis.
Hamilton City Councillor Peter Bos proposed the concept of hosting a Belgium delegation at Hamilton's ANZAC Day and subsequently secured sponsorship from local businesses Acrow Ltd, Admark Visual Imaging Ltd and Hirepool to enable the Ieper visit.
Ieper is home to the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing which bears the names of around 54,896 missing British and Commonwealth soldiers who were fell during WW1 in the Ieper area but have no known grave. Many New Zealand soldiers fought and fell in and around Ieper, particularly during the brutal Battle of Passchendaele from which approximately 1166 NZ soldiers were never recovered from the battle-field. The memorial is the site for the nightly Menin Gate ceremony that has been performed every night since 1928, except for a brief time during WWII when Ieper was under German occupation.
Every evening at 8pm, the road is closed and buglers gather with Ieper locals and visitors under the Menin Gate to play The Last Post. At Hamilton's ANZAC Day, the visiting buglers from the Last Post Association in Belgium will play this traditional salute to the fallen warrior as part of the Menin Gate ceremony re-creation.
The Belgium delegation's presence in Hamilton this year is also significant because 2007 marks the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendale. The village of Passchendaele lies close to Ieper and when fighting began on 12 October between British Empire forces and German troops, 841 New Zealanders were killed in a matter of only two-three hours and nearly 800 more were injured.
Residents of Ieper and other European villages and countries tend the graves of New Zealand and other British Empire soldiers on a regular basis to ensure these are immaculately maintained and cared for.
Hamilton City Councillor Peter Bos says Hamilton's ANZAC Day celebrations offer an ideal forum for acknowledging the enduring tribute and honour that is bestowed on ANZAC soldiers in Ieper and across Europe.
"The ANZAC theme of remembrance is part of the social fabric in Ieper as shown by the long-standing Menin Gate ceremony and tireless tending of soldiers' graves. Paying nightly tribute to our ANZACs and other British Empire soldiers on a nightly basis for over 70 years is superb example of the gratitude and esteem in which Ieper residents have held these soldiers through generations. Such efforts are also present across Europe and on the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele which saw 270,000 British Forces soldiers wounded and 70,000 killed, our local ANZAC Day celebrations are an opportune time to pay tribute to those in Europe who have honoured our fallen WW1 soldiers for so many decades."
Hamilton mayor Michael Redman says that the presence of the Ieper delegation at the city's ANZAC celebrations is both significant for Hamilton and marks the coming to fruition of a great idea from Cr Peter Bos.
"Following last year's ANZAC Day celebrations, Councillor Peter Bos approached Council with the idea of hosting a delegation from Europe in recognition of the tireless tribute and dignity they bestow upon New Zealand soldiers who fell so far from home. Councillor Bos has since championed this idea and successfully sought corporate sponsorship to enable the Ieper delegation's visit at no cost to ratepayers.
"It's an honour to be hosting delegates from Ieper, a town that epitomises the phrase Lest We Forget. The delegation's presence at this year's local ANZAC celebrations provides Hamiltonians with a special link to Passchendaele on the 90th anniversary of this great battle that cost so many New Zealand soldiers their lives and offers an opportunity for our local community to experience the stirring Menin Gate ceremony."
Attendees of Hamilton's 10am ANZAC ceremony have the opportunity to extend their experience by attending the ANZAC community day at Waikato Museum which will run from 12pm onwards on ANZAC Day. Free tea and scones will be provided and a host of performances will be presented ranging from seminars to poetry and letter readings that remember the fallen and reflect on the past.

"We celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph on March 15 and of St. Patrick on March 17 – Great Men who lived only for Christ"
"What emanates from the figure of Saint Joseph is faith. Joseph of Nazareth is a "just man" because he totally "lives by faith." He is holy because his faith is truly heroic.
Sacred Scripture says little of him. It does not record even one word spoken by Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth. And yet, even without words, he shows the depth of his faith, his greatness.
Saint Joseph is a man of great spirit. He is great in faith, not because he speaks his own words, but above all because he listens to the words of the Living God. He listens in silence. And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the readiness to accept the Truth contained in the word of the Living God.
We see how the word of the Living God penetrates deeply into the soul of that man, that just man. And we, do we know how to listen to the word of God? Do we know how to absorb it into the depths of our human personalities? Do we open our conscience in the presence of this word?"

A Prayer for the Church:
"O Glorious Saint Joseph, you were chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus, the most pure spouse of Mary, ever Virgin, and the head of the Holy Family. You have been chosen by Christ's Vicar as the heavenly Patron and Protector of the Church founded by Christ.
Protect the Sovereign Pontiff and all bishops and priests united with him. Be the protector of all who labor for souls amid the trials and tribulations of this life; and grant that all peoples of the world may be docile to the Church without which there is no salvation.
Dear Saint Joseph, accept the offering I make to you. Be my father, protector, and guide in the way of salvation. Obtain for me purity of heart and a love for the spiritual life. After you example, let all my actions be directed to the greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and your own paternal heart. Finally, pray for me that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death. Amen."

Fabian M. Thomas is one of those inspiringly creative Jamaicans. There is no stopping him! I believe we first met at a Calabash workshop, quite a few years ago now. I was doing Fiction Writing with Colin Channer. Fabian was doing Poetry with Kwame Dawes. I recall that we fiction writers were extremely noisy. Our exclamations and occasional loud crashing noises (Mr. Channer expressed himself quite physically sometimes, and we perhaps encouraged him) disturbed the rather more contemplative poets in the other room from time to time.
Fabian remains a contemplative person. His art has a purpose, which is social and personal transformation. At the same time, he has a certain exuberance that is hard to rein in. He has been striding along over the past several years – exploring, turning over stones, nudging at a boundary here and there. His sense of humor, amid the serious topics that he tackles in his work, is always just under the surface. He has always been someone you can have a good chuckle with. He's not afraid to shock his audiences a little, either.
This summer is looking hot – and I mean in terms of activities – for Fabian. The group he founded and directs, Sankofa Arts and Facilitation, will be staging the Summer Version of its Word Soul production later this month – which Fabian describes as "our signature production, which showcases our niche of combining spoken word/poetry and soulful song-styling uniquely blended with other visual and performing arts." It will be directed by fabian m. thomas, Darian Reid, Jamaal McKnight & Jomo Dixon, with special Guest Shantol Jackson.
But before that, a book launch! Please find the details below, from Fabian's press release:
July 10, 2018
Transformational trainer/facilitator, performing arts specialist, poet/writer and life coach Fabian Thomas (fabian m. thomas) will host the launch of his first self- published book, New Thought, New Words: a collection of gratitude verses, affirmations and spoken word in the Neville Hall Lecture Theatre (N1), at the University of the West Indies on Monday July 16th at 6:30p.m.
New Thought, New Words is an engaging exploration of thomas' commitment to constantly "show-up" as his best self, an exploration from which most can undoubtedly benefit. As Rev. Sheila McKeithen opines in her opening message: "This work will not only inspire you to think a 'new thought' about your life and circumstances, it will give you permission to speak 'new words', and express 'new feelings' about your life and its every possibility. It will encourage you to 'speak over yourself' and to believe in yourself."
Thomas says a 5-track CD of spoken word items from the book is currently in production, but may not be ready for the launch: "When the CD is finished folks will have the option of buying them (the book and CD) together or separately."
For the past 20 years, a forward-thinking thomas has maintained an unshakeable commitment to interpersonal training, life coaching and performing arts for social transformation. He has worked with several individuals, schools and larger organizations on team building, vision boarding and personal strategic decision making under the banner of his brand Sankofa Arts & Facilitation.
His next book project will be the publication of his first manuscript of spoken word poetry, for which he will soon be seeking a publisher.
SANKOFA Arts & Facilitation – 'arts & training for transformation' – is at 34 Lady Musgrave Road, Unit 18, Kingston 5 Tel: 876-492-9020. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

This week has been rough, as I have been sick all week, and even now am battling the flu, of course to top it off my kids decided to be sick as well! We are addressing different "structured problems" and this week I will be looking at an Ill structured problem, and what tools I can use to help solve these problems. The problem I wish to address is one that I am currently planning for with my students for next semester. "How do you teach English Language Learners about human anatomy in an English only classroom?". Now this is a common ELL concern for any topic, but I am focusing on not only teaching them the vocabulary but them also understanding the functioning, structure, and purpose of the anatomy at the same level as the fluent English speakers in class.
According to Baker, D'Mello, Rodrigo and Graesser (2010) frustration is less associated with poor learning, but confusion and boredom led to low engagement and low learning in ELL students. While Shaw, Lyon, Stoddart, Mosqueda, and Menon(2014) showed that the use of inquiry based teaching kept educational improvement relatively equivalent between both ELL and native speakers.
To address this I have chosen a tool that I love to use for learning anatomy in an inquiry based method. I found it from an amazing teacher, Jarrod Robinson from www.pegeek.com, here is my video explaining it.
The application I used is "Complete Anatomy 2018" by 3D4Medical, they have a variety of applications but I like this one because students are able to explore on a phone, Ipad or laptop the whole human body, see how things interact, fully immerse themselves in inquiry based learning of human anatomy without being hung up on the language barriers presented by an English class. Then when we discuss in class I can help with the difficult vocab or concept areas and not worry about spending too much time trying to explain things that have difficult translation problems. This will ensure that all learners have a maximized chance at improving learning and mastering content.

Asanko Gold (TSX: AKG; NYSE-MKT: AKG) is not going to meet its 2018 production guidance at its mine in Ghana, the company stated on the back of a site visit to the West African operation.
In an updated technical presentation posted on its website, the company noted on the thirteenth page of the 27-page document that production from the mine next year would come in at around the same level it expects to produce this year – or somewhere in the range of 205,000 oz. and 225,000 oz. of gold – rather than the 267,943 oz. of gold it had forecast earlier in its June feasibility study.
Since Jan. 1 of this year until Nov. 9, the mine has produced 153,596 oz. of gold.
Asanko also noted that "practically," the deposit in its Nkran pit "is limited to 3 million tonne-per-year rates" and that "geotechnical redesign of oxide slopes have added waste strip ~ 4 million tonnes."

Complexity and Co-Evolution
Continuity and Change in Socio-Economic Systems
Edited by Elizabeth Garnsey and James McGlade
Chapter 7: Diversity and Uniformity in the Evolution of Early Information and Communication Technologies
Elizabeth Garnsey, Paul Heffernan and Simon Ford
Elizabeth Garnsey, Paul Heffernan and Simon Ford INTRODUCTION The creation of novel forms and the effects of their subsequent selection or elimination is a central theme in complexity studies. Complex processes are at work whenever their outcomes impact on further activity in iterations that generate recurrent feedback processes. 'Evolutionary processes' are not simply a biological metaphor applied outside the natural world; they refer to a distinctive mode of transformation in arenas that include the evolution of languages, the development of scientific knowledge and the advance of technologies. There are common processes at work involving the generation of variety, the operation of selection forces and the propagation of selected variants, though these are manifest in distinctive ways in different arenas. Natural variety is generated through random genetic mutation and combination, blind to selection forces. But in the economy, intelligent agents can anticipate the rewards and sanctions exerted by selection forces and so experience incentives to respond to them.1 Consumer demand, the allocation of investment, and competition have operated as selection forces shaping the advance of information technologies in recent years. The questions addressed here concern diversity creation and standardization in information and communication technologies. The virtues of diversity are extolled in evolutionary economics and complexity studies for their capacity to generate new solutions and a richer economic habitat, but in many ways our world is becoming increasingly homogenized. What are the constraints on diversity? A co-evolutionary perspective throws light on the limitations of diversity in an arena...

25 February 2011
Meet the Smalleys
I met Jay and Lisa almost exactly a year ago in Colorado. We attended the same short-term/mid-term missionary training at WorldVenture headquarters, and we joked about the day we'd all be in Spain together, drinking café con leche.
(Also, I should mention that I flew to Denver from North Dakota. Though I had anticipated arriving at HQ a little late, I did not anticipate that the SuperShuttle from the airport would not be leaving for another hour after the plane landed. Nor that I would have to ride that shuttle for another hour before getting into Littleton. Nor that the shuttle driver would keep the heat cranked to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Needless to say, I am late for everything in life, and perhaps this was just par for the course. I missed the supper in which all the other trainees got acquainted, as I wasn't creeping into my bedroom until somewhere after midnight.)
Yes, that was February.
We met again in July, this time in upstate New York. At a two-week training for over a hundred people who would be working with TCKs, the Smalleys, Pat Roseman, and I were the only ones headed to Spain. (Actually, Pat had already been in Spain, but we were so glad she came to the States for training. Why? Number one: Because she's awesome. Number two: Because she gave us inside information on ECA. Number three: Reiterate number one.)
(This time, I had planned to be in New York by 3:00pm, plenty early for any festivity. But...the plane out of Minot was delayed, and the flight out of Minneapolis had been moved up, so by the time I got to Minnesota, I had already missed my flight and been re-booked on a later flight to Buffalo. Six hours later. During those six hours, I bought some McDonald's and a luggage tag in the shape of a weiner dog. And discovered the best napping lounge in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
By the time I got to New York, I was late for everything. Late for supper, late for that initial bonding period. I had a ride from the airport to the campus, but we were waiting to take another girl with us, and her flight didn't get there for an hour. Instead of hanging around the airport, I went to Denny's with two of the men who were running the whole show. They asked me how I decided to do missions.
I told them about the book I'd read ten years ago, the semi-cheesy romance novel about the woman who teaches at an MK school in Taiwan.
One of the men worked at an MK school in Taiwan. "Who wrote the book?" he asked.
"Marilyn Kok," I told him.
He smiled. "Ahh, Marilyn. She was a classmate of mine. I will have to tell her that! She'll be so blessed."
Crazy! "Please do," I told him. "But don't tell her I said it was cheesy.")
Jay and Lisa joked about me showing up late again. I'd really tried this time! Oh, well. We had two good weeks together in muggy New York heat, learning about TCKs and teaching approaches and thinking globally. But there was one thing that poked at me a little: everyone else seemed to have departure dates. Most of them already had plane tickets. A few weren't fully funded, but they were close enough to be confident: 89%. 97%. They were leaving for Budapest and Austria and Morocco and South Korea, and they knew exactly when. As we all hugged each other goodbye, it was with that fervency that comes as you go home from camp, fresh and excited, leaving one big thing to go to the next.
Except for Team Spain. Not that we weren't excited, and I can't speak for Jay and Lisa, but secretly, I knew that I'd have time to go home and debrief, and then probably to deflate. My funds were sitting at 44%. There was no way I could book a ticket for the next month.
At that point, I didn't know when it was going to come together for all of us. I don't just mean the five of us. There was our headmaster in Spain, waiting to finish writing teachers' schedules until he knew ours. There were people in the WorldVenture office, waiting to hear that our support numbers had finally been fulfilled. There were people at home, asking about timelines. Missions isn't an international trip: it's an event! Or a carnival, even, of supporters and teammates and roommates and parents and budget-makers and field leaders and teachers and principals and administrative assistants, and, oh heck, just about anything else you can think to throw in there (except for clowns--I will not allow for clowns).
So this fall, the fiesta continued. On my end, it involved being fully funded, then getting excited, then getting an unsigned FBI check, then crying, starting over, and waiting. And coming to terms with things. And realizing that it's okay; it's okay that everyone I met last summer is now in Europe and South America and Asia, because that was the right time for them, and when they are coming home, I will just be starting.
On Jay and Lisa's end, it involved a lot of waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting...and finally seeing things pull together! They got their funds! Two days ago, they got their visas! And by now, they should have arrived in Camarma: new home, new faces, new language.
I'm so thrilled for them. We've waited a long time to get where we're going, and I am sososo glad that they are finally there.
And if Jay and Lisa are there, you know that I'll be following them. I'll be late, of course, but I'll be there all the same. :)

This is a lovely story, Shar. I am so excited for you, but sad at the same time, that even though you live in ND and I in IA, and we have seen each other about 4 times in the last 5 years, I still like thinking you're close enough to see, but when you go to Spain, you won't be anymore. I know that's how it's supposed to be when we're following God's lead, but still, I miss the possibility of realistically seeing you. I am truly excited, though, for your dreams to come true!

Pacquiao and his LGBT PR blunder
Because my friend Helen fed me Smarties. I realise I should have this in Tagalog too but that's far too much effort for now.
I usually stay away from Filipino politics because it's very immature and overwhelmed by despondent and extreme religious nutjobs but more and more of my friends and relatives are reacting to this matter as if there's no other important news to talk about. Examples of retarded politics in the past included religious fanatics saying that Typhoon Yolanda was caused by their god as judgement against their corrupt leaders or something rather. This was years after a movie actor was elected as an incredibly uneducated president, was found corrupt, got jailed, pardoned and then run for its capital's mayor… and won!
This time, Manny Pacquiao, boxing celebrity, made a grave mistake in angering the LGBT people (and zoologists for that matter), not just in the Philippines but worldwide by calling LGBT as worse than animals in a very passive aggressive way:
FILIPINO: "kung lalake sa lalake at babae sa babae, eh mas masahol sa hayop ang tao"
ENGLISH: "if you have male to male and female to female [relationship or sex*], humans are worse than animals".
*the distinction is not clear in this context, but trivial nonetheless
He downplays his already retarded comment by saying he doesn't condemn homosexuals, just their marriage.
It really wouldn't have been so headline grabbing as we know boxing is a very macho sport (not really an excuse to be homophobic in this day and age), majority of Filipinos are hard-line bible bashers and like to call themselves very conservatives. Couple that with his lack of quality education, it's not too far fetched that he would have these discriminatory views. But the reason why this issue is important is because he is running to be a Senator in the upcoming election.
Pacquiao is not a complete noob when it comes to Filipino political scene. He was made congressman of Saranggani, his birth province. However, his attendance and track record as a public servant was very poor, turning up only 4 times in the House of Representatives and only doing 25 constituency related work in one year. I wonder how many days will he turn up to the Senate if were elected?
He can't distinguish the difference between a civil matter against a religious matter. Unfortunately for him, the Philippines, on paper (its Constitution), is a secular country with a specific mandate (Article 2 Section 6) to separate the affairs of the state with that of the church. We know that it isn't the case practically, given how much religious blocs dictate where the votes go. How can he expect to legislate and debate with other lawmakers if the only thing he knows is how to knock people out; and tiny tidbits of bible trivia?
Of course many Filipinos don't see it that way. The legion of equally idiotic supporters fuelled the fire by rallying against their hero and started sensationalising the matter even more. They started blaming the LGBT about HIV outbreaks, children molestation (ironically seeing as it's Catholic priests who mostly did this), typhoons, how some gay talk-show hosts insult more than Pacquiao (as if it's a race to the bottom and who is more a douchebag) and maybe the price of oil hikes. It seems futile to even think about engaging any Filipino in a conversation about the need to change the law if they happen to uphold the same views as Pacquiao. They appeal to his celebrity status and godly way of life so much they don't even try to think for themselves. They cannot reason without quoting the same verses over and over again, discounting the fact that a few lines away from their quotes, their bible forbids something most, if not all Filipino do. An inconvenient truth. It's frankly very predictable and amusing in the beginning but it does get boring after a while.
They trivialise this even more by giving examples of his charity work and how he's brought glory to the Philippines by becoming a boxing superstar , which of course are incontestably highly commendable. But the crux of the matter is, if his agenda as a Senator is to oppress people by denying them a privilege based on a fictional book, he should run as a pastor or a priest instead. He can preach all day he wants and continue to do his charities unquestioned. I doubt he needs the senatorial salary with his riches anyway. As amazing as his achievements in the ring might be, Pacquiao doesn't belong in the Senate.
Although I highly doubt this blunder will greatly affect his popularity and aspirations to be a Senator, he has already been dropped by Nike as an endorser of their brand. Other brands are reported to follow in dropping him. As he's made his millions already from previous matches and endorsements, and still has upcoming matches, I very much doubt that'll mean anything to him.
I'm sure that Pacquiao isn't the only senatorial candidate who harbours distinctly ultra conservative position based heavily, if not entirely by what they cherry picked from the bible. Unfortunately for him, he's too stupid to not even think of the repercussions before he opened his mouth and chundered the venom of his words, never mind the hypocrisy of his own personal life against the holy, sweet, Christian image he likes to portray.
Do yourself a favour and save yourself some public embarrassment by sticking to what you do amazingly well – boxing; and the Philippines a HUGE favour by leaving legislation to those qualified to do it.

"In Fort Langley Formally known as the IGA, Lee's Market is a family owned grocery store in Fort Langley, BC, Canada. The Lee family bought the store in 1975 and have been serving the community ever since. The market has gone through several name changes over the decades, including Tommy's Market, Lucky Dollar, Link's Hardware and IGA, and the Fort Supply Company. The Fort Supply Co. was the official name in 1975 when the Lee family became the new (and present) owners. For the Lee family it was a long road, or rather, it was a long ocean to travel before finally finding their home in this community. Like their father who had made his way to Fiji from China during the 1940's, to find a better home and better life to make for his wife and future children; so would Johnny, the oldest son, make his way from Fiji to Canada to find a better home and better life for his brothers, sister and mother. By 1972 the remaining family members had managed to immigrate to Canada and after a few years and various jobs, they found a place for the family to start a business, to thrive and to grow. Although the family business has expanded to encompass the Walnut Grove and Langley City IGA Market Place franchises; Peter, Robert, Margaret, Chang, Lum, Linda, Judy and Charlie and all the familiar faces (and new ones, too!) we have seen for years working at the IGA in Fort Langley are a welcoming place in the community. Charlie has since gone to Walnut Grove. His father, Johnny is still fondly remembered as the happy-go-lucky P.R. guy of the Lee family."

At the 2016 Australian census, Kensington had a population of 10,812.[2]
Kensington is known for its village feel, cafes, and diversity of architecture – including Victorian terraces, cottages, warehouse apartments and new structures in the west of the suburb. The suburb is hilly in sections and contains established tree lined streets.
The suburb is bounded by Racecourse Road to the north, Smithfield Road and the Maribyrnong River to the west, Dynon Road to the south, and Moonee Ponds Creek to the east. Kensington was once home to one of Victoria's major abbatoirs and livestock saleyards, an army ordnance depot and a number of factories. The stock yards ceased operation in 1984, prompting significant urban renewal.
Kensington was named after Kensington in London.

Perspectives on the Budget Outlook
The release of the Congressional Budget Office's
new baseline budget projections on January 29 offers
the opportunity to reassess the fiscal status of the
federal government as Congress and the administration
consider a new set of budget proposals. This
article examines the current budget outlook, the magnitude
and sources of changes in the outlook since
January 2001, and adjustments to the official data that
more accurately reflect the continuation of current
policy and the government's underlying financial
status. Based on this analysis, we also provide a very
preliminary and brief assessment of the administration's
new budget proposals. We reach the following
surplus of $1.3 trillion for fiscal years 2004 to
2013. But the budget outside of Social Security
faces a baseline deficit of $1.2 trillion, and outside
of the Medicare and Social Security Trust
Funds, the baseline deficit is $1.6 trillion. (None
of the figures in this article include recent tax
proposals, a Medicare prescription drug benefit,
or the cost of a war with Iraq. Incorporating
these items would make the budget outlook
look less promising.)
from the baseline forecasts made two years ago.
The projected unified budget outcome for 2002
to 2011 deteriorated from a projected surplus of
$5.6 trillion (4 percent of GDP) in January 2001
to essentially zero ($20 billion) in January 2003.
The budget outcome for 2002 alone declined by
$471 billion (4.6 percent of GDP).
worsening economic conditions, which account
for about two-thirds of the decline in 2002 and
about half of the projected change for 2003. The
longer-term changes are due as much to the 2001
tax cut—which accounts for 40 percent of the
deterioration in the budget outlook for 2010—as to economic and technical changes, which
account for 37 percent.
the government's underlying fiscal
position because of unrealistic assumptions
regarding the continuation of current policy and
because retirement programs are merged with
other programs in the budget.
policies will be maintained—in particular,
that expiring tax provisions are extended, a
moderate AMT fix is provided, and real per
capita discretionary spending is held constant—we estimate that the adjusted unified budget
is in deficit for each of the next 10 years and will
cumulate deficits of $1.1 trillion over the decade.
These deficits emerge just from efforts to maintain
the policy status quo. The differences between
the official and our adjusted projections
for the unified budget grow over time. In 2013
alone, the difference exceeds $600 billion (3.6
percent of GDP).

cash-flow surpluses accruing in trust funds for
Social Security, Medicare, and government pensions
over the next 10 years. But in the longer
term, Social Security and Medicare face significant
deficits. The adjusted budget outside of
these trust funds faces a deficit of $4.5 trillion
over the next decade, including an adjusted
deficit of 4 percent of GDP in 2003 and an
average deficit of just over 3 percent of GDP
during the rest of the decade.
near-term deficits (over the next two years),
medium-term deficits (over the next three to 10
years), and long-term deficits (beyond the 10-
year horizon). The near-term deficits are not a
major problem in and of themselves—the economy
could use a boost right now and unusual
events like a war should be at least partially
funded via deficits.
however, are troubling. First, our adjusted
unified budget shows a deficit in each of the
next 10 years, even though the economy is
predicted to have reached full employment
within the next few years. This indicates a persistent
and fundamental imbalance between
projected tax and spending policies even before
the bulk of the baby boomers will have retired.
Second, the medium-term deficits will be followed
by a period in which projected deficits
rise substantially. The time profile of projected
deficits implies that if fiscal responsibility is not
established in the remainder of this decade, it
will prove much more difficult to do so after the
baby boomers start retiring.
would represent a significant policy mistake.
Making the fiscal gap worse would be an even
bigger mistake. Policymakers should be particularly
wary of proposals that would raise
medium- and long-term deficits; that reduce
medium-term deficits by shifting revenues from
the future to within the 10-year budget window;
or that detract attention from these issues.
such problematic proposals. These include
making the 2001 tax cut permanent, massively
expanding Roth IRA treatment of saving, encouraging
rollovers of existing IRAs to backloaded
saving plans, and focusing on a five-year
budget horizon. The administration's policies
would produce unified "deficits as far as the eye
can see" even though the economy is projected
to return to full employment in a few years. The
deficits would be much larger if the retirement
trust funds were not included. The administration's
proposals would exacerbate the
nation's fiscal problems in the medium and long

If you go
What: Wondervu Cafe
Where: 33492 Colo. 72, Wondervu
When: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday; closed Mondays
More info: wondervucafe.net, 303-642-1258
The patio at the Wondervu Cafe is closed for the winter, but waitress Sue Widholm knows which table is the best place to sit down on a warm day — table 36.
"You just get the best view, especially on a clear day," Widholm said. "You are looking at the Continental Divide."
Owner Adeline Ortiz-Clairmont has spent nearly 43 years building the cafe into the local landmark that it is today.
The restaurant has been used on "America's Most Wanted" and another movie production crew shot a winter scene at the restaurant. It was in the summer, however, so the producers used potato flakes as snow, much to the delight of a potbellied pig that lived across the highway, according to Ortiz-Clairmont.
According to the Wondervu Historical and Architectural Survey commissioned by Boulder County, the cafe is the most recognizable landmark in the area. Wondervu came into being in the 1920s as a mountain-top retreat for lower-middle class and working class Denver residents.
For $990,000, the Wondervu Cafe can be yours.
"I've put a lot of work into the Wondervu," said Ortiz-Clairmont, now 67. "I love it, but on the other hand, I think I need to enjoy life a little bit and be able to do some things I've been missing out on."
She came to the area with her first husband, the late Leonard Ortiz, when she was 24 years old. Her parents, who ran their own restaurant in Denver, bought what was once called The Wondervu Cafe — which sold fare such as broasted chicken and hot dogs — but found running two restaurants too burdensome.
"My parent's restaurant was called Nita's Mexican Food," she said. "I was a waitress and a cook there, so I grew up in the business."
Ortiz-Clairmont said she and her husband already loved coming to the mountains to fish and hike, so it seemed like the perfect fit. She built her house nearby so she can enjoy the 60-mile stretch of the Front Range at work and at home.
Located along Colo. 72 in Coal Creek Canyon, The Wondervu Cafe has become something of a community hub for area residents. The gift shop next door carries a book by a local scientist and a set of astronomy cards by another, according to gift shop employee Sondra Fields.
"We try to find the things you don't find anywhere else," Fields said.
Ortiz-Clairmont said the building that houses the restaurant has grown over the years, but when she first started off, making $50 a day seemed like a big deal. She says the cafe is centrally located between Arvada, Boulder, Nederland and Black Hawk, so she sees business from all those locations.
In the winter months, however, she depends on the locals to sustain the business.
"Their business is really important to us," she said. "That's what keeps us going."
Ortiz-Clairmont said the restaurant specializes in home-style, but health-conscious Mexican fare like enchiladas and tostadas, but also offers burgers and sandwiches. She also manufactures her own brand of fudge as well as salsa, and has used the slow times in the winter to experiment and refine her recipes.
"We are very careful with what we put in our food," Ortiz-Clairmont said. "We eat here. If we are going to eat here, we might as well eat good."
Widholm has worked at the Wondervu for about 10 years and makes the trek up the mountain from the Denver area every day to serve food and chat with customers. She said it's worth the long drive, because she likes the casual atmosphere and the community feel.
"I love a more family-style, mom-and-pop place," she said. "People feel comfortable. It's not like at some corporate places. … It's not all prim and proper. We just have fun."
Linda Martin, a Coal Creek Canyon resident, eats at the cafe about once a week with her son and his father. Martin said Ortiz-Clairmont has always supported the Coal Creek Canyon Park and Recreation District, specifically it's yearly Mountain Fest that happens in the summer.
"I love that it's here," Martin said. "We live in a bedroom community where most of the people get their needs met down below. It's nice to have some brick and mortar places to go."
Coal Creek Canyon resident Gene Rogers said he eats at the restaurant a few times a week with his wife, and has done so for many years. Rogers, who has volunteered with the Coal Creek Canyon Fire Protection District, said Ortiz-Clairmont took care of the firefighters.
"They've always been good to us," he said. "They served us free coffee when we had fires around here. Whenever there are fires, Adeline usually steps up and brings us coffee and that type of thing. … She's got a big heart."
Ortiz-Clairmont said that running a restaurant can be nerve-racking work, particularly when it gets busy and you suddenly find yourself shorthanded. She depends on her son, Derrick Ortiz, who has worked at the restaurant for many years.
"He still makes my chips and my rellenos," she said. "He always makes sure I'm well supplied."
Ortiz-Clairmont said if she had to do it over again,she would. Her biggest regret is not taking photos of staff who often return years later with their children and grandchildren.
"It would be so fun to have a album of everyone," she said. "Their kids could see mom and dad when they were doing the dishes or washing the floor."

When is the page parent list size scheduled to be fixed in the new editor?
I haven't been able to form much of an opinion on the new beep beep boop editor because I can't use if for editing most pages. Doing so will un-link the pages from their parent unless they happen to be on the short list of parent pages provided. Going to the old editor via the admin route is extremely inconvenient since I have to page down several times to get to most of the pages I want to change. Can't the length of the displayed parent list just be increased? This seems like the kind of major problem that would be fixed immediately before any enhancements were worked on.
The blog I need help with is skaak.org.
My upgrades are up for renewal in five days. I would like to know whether there are plans to fix the problem with parent pages in a reasonable amount of time, so that I and decide whether or not renew. My site is very difficult to update in the state that it's in now. So if the parent page problem is not going to be fixed in the new editor, I'll have to either find another place to host my site or redesign it to work around the problems. I would rather not do either one, so I would appreciate an answer, so that I'm not wasting my time or money.
When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.
Sorry, I should have pointed out that this problem has been discussed earlier at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-editing-page-sucks-i-need-help-not-all-parent-pages-come-up?replies=4#post-2454311 (which I didn't initiate, but sorry for the language). That topic and others which discussed this problem all seem to be closed.
I will look into this and post back here as soon as I know more.
Hooray! Thanks for your help.
Sheri, it does look like all of my pages showed up in the drop-down list under page options in the sidebar, though I did have to keep pulling the control bar down and waiting for it to refresh. But they are all there, and that's the important thing. Thanks.
Is it safe to hit the Update button from those pages to see if the correct parent page actually gets saved?
Yes, although there is a higher chance there will be bugs present in the testing site in general, I think it's safe. We have been testing editor changes for a while and I have been using it a tone without losing any data—in fact, there are even more protections in place (i.e. autosaves with revisions) in the new version of the editor. :)
I will look into this and post back here as soon as I know more.
Just posting a quick note that nonenmac beat me to this follow-up and the issue does appear to be fixed in the next editor and those should be going live soon.
That's good news. :)
The topic 'When is the page parent list size scheduled to be fixed in the new editor?' is closed to new replies.

SIERRA LEONE:- Are we PAYING ATTENTION? Are We?
By Alusine A. Sesay
As China offers another mouthwatering $60 Billion loans to corrupt African countries this week, Sierra Leone must never sleep-walk into The Debt-Den of China's Aid and Loan-SHARKS. We must negotiate cautiously.
What I have noticed lately with this Afro-China Kumbaya is this:-Whichever country offers the greatest economic gains based on China's growth strategy becomes a target for its aid and loan-sharks.
Currently this strategy is geared towards partnering with resource-rich countries like Sierra Leone, which often LACK the POLITICAL and ECONOMIC STRUCTURES required to efficiently and effectively manage bilateral trade opportunities.
What complicates this debt scare is that China provides LITTLE information about most of its loans to the continent, and this makes it difficult for observers like myself to track their impact and utilization.–It also means average Sierra Leoneans and by extension Africans would not have accurate knowledge of debts incurred by our governments until we have to repay China, which could become onerous and troublesome .
For example, China recently completed the $3.8 billion Nairobi-Mombasa railway project in Kenya — but upon completion, Kenya still owed 85 percent of the total cost.- You see what I am saying ????–
It is unclear how a country with an unconvincing economic projection like Kenya will repay China without any financial hardship.
In-fact, heavily-indebted recipient countries of China's loan/aid including Ghana, Ivory-Coast, and Nigeria COULD face SIMILAR problems since THEY HAVE ALL received an average of $3.2 billion in aid from China recently.
These loans alone would commit key African powerhouse economies to TRANSFER large amounts of their revenue directly to China over the next few decades. (mark my words) –and what is even more surprising is, the modes of and timelines for repayments of these loans are UNCLEAR..as far as I know.–
(Sierra Leone,we have to be very careful in our loan-dealings with China).
Not only does Chinese aid/loan affect the development programs of African countries, but it could also reduce Africa to a MERE TOOL for Chinese domination of the global economy.– Instead, our African countries including Sierra Leone, should learn from the history of Chinese dealings in other parts of the world, like Sri-Lanka et al —
Let's take a closer look at Sri Lanka,– Sri Lanka has formally handed over its southern port of Hambantota to China on a 99-year lease, which government critics have denounced as an erosion of that country's sovereignty.–
The $1.3bn port was opened seven years ago using debt from
Chinese state-controlled entities. But it has since STRUGGLED under heavy losses, making it IMPOSSIBLE for Sri Lanka to repay its debts.–
Also, China typically finds so-called "partners", make these partners accept investment plans that are detrimental to their countries in the long term, and then uses these debts to either acquire the projects altogether or to acquire political leverage in those countries.
This is one of the most vivid examples of China's aggressive use of LOANS and aid to gain influence in Africa and the rest of the world — and of its willingness to play hardball to collect.
This is NOT FREE MONEY.–Sierra Leone must be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when entering into any partnerships with China, or else we are in for a rude awakening ,come payment day.
