The Maltese Islands are positively mythic Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso's Cave. The narrow meandering streets of their towns and villages lead to the main square, which is invariably dominated by the huge baroque church. As the countryside is dotted with medieval towers, wayside chapels and the oldest known human structures in the world, the Islands have rightly been described as an open-air museum.
The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and 288 km north of Africa. The archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of over 400,000 inhabitants occupying an area of 316 square kilometres.
Malta is the largest island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture. Comino, the smallest of the trio, has one hotel and is largely uninhabited.
With superbly sunny weather, attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do. www.visitmalta.com

Mother's Elbows on My Bed
I was but a youth and thoughtless,
As all youths are apt to be;
Though I had a Christian mother
Who had taught me carefully,
But there came a time when pleasure
Of the world came to allure,
And I no more sought the guidance
Of her love so good and pure.
Her tender admonitions fell
But lightly on my ear,
And for the gentle warnings
I felt an inward sneer.
How could I prove my manhood
Were I not firm of will?
No threat of future evil
Should all my pleasure kill.
But mother would not yield her boy
To Satan's sinful sway,
And though I spurned her counsel
She knew a better way.
No more she tried to caution
Of ways she knew its pain.
And though I guessed her heartache
I could not know its pain.
She made my room an altar,
A place of secret prayer,
And there she took her burden
And left it in His care.
And morning, noon, and evening
By that humble bedside low,
She sought the aid of Him Who
Best can understand a mother's woe.
And I went my way unheeding,
Careless of the life I led,
Until one day I noticed
Prints of elbows on my bed.
Then I saw that she had been there
Praying for her wayward boy,
Who for love of worldly pleasure
Would her peace of mind destroy.
While I wrestled with my conscience,
Mother wrestled still in prayer,
Till that little room seemed hallowed
Because so oft she met Him there.
With her God she held the fortress,
And thought not a word she said,
My stubborn heart was broken
By those imprints on my bed.
Long the conflict raged within me,
Sin against my mother's prayers.
Sin MUST YIELD for MOTHER NEVER
While she daily met Him there.
And her constant love and patience
were like coals upon my head,
Together with the imprints
Of her elbows on my bed.
Mother-love and God-love
Are a combination rare,
And one that can't be beaten
When sealed by earnest prayer.
And so at last the fight was won,
And I to Christ was led,
And mother's prayers were answered
By her elbows on my bed.
May it be so......

Thank you for that poem. It spoke to my heart and this person put into words what my heart was like a few years back. I hope this has spoken to you D and has encouraged you in a way that is filled with hope. Bless you Dear Friend and sister.ReplyDelete
It has encouraged me to keep on praying, and to never give up! It was a blessing to me.ReplyDelete
I am thankful for understanding hearts. It gives me hope when I see what others have gone through and how God has worked!
Thank you so much.

D, check out Beth Moore's Blog on my site and read the Red Bird story. It is about anger...ReplyDelete
What a nice peom...it takes a special mom to endure the trials of a child, but God gives you that child for a special reason. What I have come to know about being a christian mom through my mom is something to realize that we should never give up on our children and we should always hold on to them and guide them and to never give up on them.ReplyDelete

A FATHER who punched his teenage son unconscious and called him a 'f****t' has been jailed.
Martin Smith appeared before Oxford Crown Court on Friday after pleading guilty to one count of causing actual bodily harm as well as two common assaults, also against his son.
Prosecutor Cathy Oliver told the court the 39-year-old, of Bretch Hill, Banbury, attacked his son on August 23 after getting into an argument with him over whether he had failed his university exams.
ALSO READ: Paedophile, 72, jailed for abusing boys
Ms Oliver said the 18-year-old described his father as 'agitated' and that he then punched him in the side of the face which caused him to 'blank out', not regaining conciousness until he had been moved to a neighbour's house.
She added there had been two earlier incidents in the weeks leading up to this and on one of the occasions the teenager had been pinned to a wardrobe by his neck.
Ms Oliver told the court his step-mother said there had also been 'regular homophobic insults' directed at the boy, with the word 'f****t' used following the August attack.
In mitigation, defence barrister James Riley said Smith was 'ashamed' of his actions but denied he was homophobic, adding: "It is clearly just a very fractious relationship."
ALSO READ: Three-week-old baby taken to hospital after two-car crash
Judge Maria Lamb, sentencing Smith, said the relationship between father and son had been described as 'toxic' but that she saw it as a 'toxic attitude' from Smith, citing his homophobic language.
She added: "What happened on August 23 was not an isolated occasion but the culmination of a course of conduct towards [your son]."
Smith was jailed for nine months and a restraining order imposed banning him from contacting his son for five years.

Protecting against cyberattacks has become a challenge for both state and local government organizations. In a world where networks are interconnected, and data is so easily accessible from the web, cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and have caused increasing damage to organizations. For example, earlier this year, Baltimore's 911 dispatch system was attacked by ransomware due to an unsecured network, causing the system to be shut down for 17 hours. Situations like this can be devastating for a government-run organization.
Cybercriminals can enter an organization and move laterally on the network to steal IP and sensitive information – without being detected – for a long period of time. Deploying a security system where cybersecurity is an afterthought could lead to serious implications. Access control systems should not only secure physical premises but should also be protected from cyber-threats.
Convergint, in partnership with Genetec, can deploy Security Center Synergis™, the IP access control system (ACS) developed by Genetec. With native end-to-end encryption from the reader to the Synergis software and advanced claim-based authentication, you will know with full confidence that data will be secured.
Security Center Synergis
Keep Existing Access Control Hardware Infrastructure in Place
Synergis supports the most versatile portfolio of access control hardware and integrates with a wide range of door controllers, modules, and electronic locks. Thus, reducing the overall costs to deploy Synergis.
Neutralize Threats Quickly
With embedded threat management capabilities, operators can quickly change the behavior of a security system at a moment's notice in response to potential cyber or physical threats.
Strengthen Security with Complete Picture
Synergis creates a seamless link between access control and video which heightens the security of an organization and increases readiness to respond to incidents and threats.
Contract Vehicles
Convergint holds many contract vehicles which help to simplify the procurement process and provide national purchasing power to eligible agencies. Learn more

How many kids?
13 Feb 2018
We asked people to pray for 40 kids to come to our church's VBS that started today. I had 10 in my class, Mariela had 12 in her class and Elizabeth had 13 in her class. That's 35. Julio announced in our meeting that there were 5 toddlers present too, to put us at 40, but I think that would be cheating! Elizabeth remarked, "Allen said he had asked people to pray for 40 kids to come. Let's pray for 60 now!" "No! We can't handle that many!" I half-joked.
Praise God for the great first day of VBS and that we can handle however many show up tomorrow!

Toy Soldiers
(ODE to Child Abuse)
Five little Girls, fell out of the Tree
and onto that Predator Weinstein's Knee.
Alligator. Alligator. Say How High?
Let me think… Right up to your Thigh!
Five little Girls, stood all in a row,
which one'll give me a reit good blow?
Alligator. Alligator. He loves it large.
Anything that moves with a pulse, like that good ole Marge.
Five little Girls, on Savile's list.
Hit hard by a sensationalized venomous twist.
Alligator. Alligator. He'll fix it, if your face fits.
And you're a School Girl from Surrey, who's got big tits.
Six little Boys, all stood in a row.
Wondering where for the day, they can all go?
Alligator. Alligator. Let's head to the mall.
To make Jamie our next victim, we'll have a ball.
Three teenage Girls, in Rochdale Town.
Another Kid in Liverpool, who's been mowed down.
Alligator. Alligator. On the run.
Underage Psycho Killers carrying, a loaded Gun.
Five little Girls, dressed all in Black.
Because they're constantly under attack.
By Catholic Priests and their own flesh and blood.
What a way to suffer ROBBED, of their Sweet Childhood.
One London Boy, all frightened and alone.
Who'd have thought it? Who'd have known?
That Danger was to come, knocking at his door.
Another one DEAD and BURIED, beneath the concrete floor.
One Austrian Girl, a Daughter to a Man.
Whose Sadistic Motto was to always think:
"I can, behave how I like because I've got the power,
to treat my Daughter like a Slave for Sex, whilst watching her cower".
Eight Barbie Dolls, all stood in a line.
Whilst the Westside Guy echoed:
"I'll take em' all, they're mine".
Disembedded Bodies buried in the cellar, outside my Home.
Welcome aboard my appetizing Pleasure Dome.
Without Frankie, He's in Hollywood!
Boys and Girls, all stood up for an intimidating inspection.
Then wiped out by a catalyst carrying, one deadly infection.
The Criminally Insane, taking Robotic Bodies; right up to the Moors.
With a Crack-a-Jack Smile, bloody gums and fractured Jaws.
A Dewsbury Kidnapping, sending the Nation into sheer shock.
Heads turning, Hearts yearning, listening to the sound of the clock.
Disempowerment and Darkness, dished out to one vulnerable Girl.
Whose Life Story forever makes our Chicken curl.
As we keep sucking through straws, on a Chocolate Twirl.
And so, these are some of the tales from long ago.
Telling of Child Abuse and its fatal blow.
A mixture of Boys and Girls, all taken and floored.
By an Inhumane, Incoherent and Oppressive System; forever ignored.
Let it pierce your eyes and sharpen your tongue.
'Collectively' let's stand side by side altogether, as ONE.
To count our blessings and the people we meet.
For such Demonization and Destruction, unto us will never defeat,
the way we treat people.
Love. Hope and Kindness.
ART is REBELLION.
Love. Hope and Kindness.
No Time, for that Orwellian.
Love. Hope and Kindness.
ART together is Sweet REBELLION.

Prior to the Civil War, the Union Theological Seminary was located in Prince Edward County Virginia. Prince Edward was both a prosperous and a pious community and thus was considered a prime location for the seminary. Unfortunately the Civil War greatly damaged the Prince Edward infrastructure, causing many of the civilians to relocate elsewhere in Virginia. Furthermore, after the war many southerners relocated in order to closer to a major city. These reasons made it necessary to consider relocation of the Seminary.
Richmond and Lynchburg competed to become the new home of the seminary. Richmond offered 50,000 and a large tract of land to the Seminary Board of Trustees and thus was granted the school. The seminary was scheduled to be dedicated to Richmond on October 5, 1898
In Virginia in 1898, religious sentiment was strong. In Charlottesville, the University of Virginia stood as the only National University not requiring its students to attend religious services. Despite the fact that religious participation was not required the students at the UVA demonstrated high levels of commitment to religion. Out of the 485 students enrolled at the University between 1897 and 1898 271 were church members, while 162 were members of the Young Christian Association. Furthermore 35 students were engaged in some sort of religious work.

9. LB Deion Jones Drafted By: Atlanta Falcons (2016)
The speedy Deion Jones burst onto the scene as a rookie for the Atlanta Falcons, intercepting three passes and returning two of them for a touchdown, including one for 90 yards. Jones added 106 tackles and helped lead the Falcons all the way to the brink of a Super Bowl victory before they collapsed late against the Patriots.
Jones was even better as a sophomore, racking up 138 tackles and adding three more interceptions en route to his first Pro Bowl berth. Jones missed much of the 2018 season with a foot injury but remains one of the game's brightest young linebackers, excellent in pass coverage and quick to recover in the run game.

Now that I have brought my (personal) laptop to Kolkata I will TRY and blog daily (!!!).
Since am old fashioned,
Writing on paper with pen >>> Typing on laptop >>> Typing on Ipad/Phone.
The writing has been slow recently not because of lack of intent but once I come home, I like to chill. Work, followed by gym, gets exhausting and all I want to do is not think at all at night. Writing needs lots and lots of brain activity which is why I may not be upto it on a weekday. Weekends are spent travelling to Mumbai and catching up on chores, not to mention unpacking + packing.
In short, life is quite busy and "me" time is a luxury. It will get better in a few months. After all, if I can't have a work life balance in Kolkata, which other city on this planet will be able to offer it to me?
Some days are a mixed bag. You may come across a bit of good luck and a bit of bad luck. Today was one such day.
Anyway, adios.
I will get better at this in a few days so stay with me while I meander through an empty mind for now.

Article content
Velonas is manager of planning and conservation for the Meewasin Valley Authority.
In response to Jan Norris's viewpoint, Act to preserve precious swale (SP, July 30), I wish to provide the following information outlining the substantial work that Meewasin has undertaken, over many years, with the city and a host of other experts, stakeholders and the public to better understand and manage this incredible resource.
Meewasin partnered with the city and its consultant, Stantec, to create the Northeast Swale Development Guidelines in 2012 (an update to the guidelines originally established in 2002). These guidelines provide appropriate locations and cross sections for the road crossings the city requires in the area. Meewasin concurrently developed a resource management plan for the site that guides our work to maintain and enhance biodiversity within the swale. We are now in the final stages of preparing a master plan for the site that will guide development of trails and other natural area-appropriate amenities.
Each road crossing has a cross section defined by the guidelines that is intended to be wildlife friendly. The consultant determined that the amount of large mammal movement through the swale did not justify the cost of constructing grade separated crossings. Their recommendation was to implement the wildlife friendly cross sections in the guidelines in the detailed design of the roadways. This includes the maximum width of the rightof-way, no centre median, appropriate vegetation to be planted near the road and a maximum speed of 50 km/h. The guidelines suggest that amphibian movement could be handled with small passageways under the road.
There is no question that the swale will evolve as many tens of thousands of new residents move in around it. We continue to pursue means to measure and monitor these impacts and our own resource management. We appreciate the concern and input from the community that is the beneficiary of this historically rich and rare ecological infrastructure. The swale will likely be a very different place in the future. We are working toward ensuring that it is still a place that holds significant ecological value and is a treasured amenity, along with the rest of the Meewasin valley.

Before I begin I am so so super sorry I am a bad blogger at the minute but university is taking all of my energy and time away from everything else.
I turned 22 years old on the 22nd of March aka the end of last week, I left my job which I have had for 6 years on the 21rst March. To say that that was a tough 24 hours would be putting it super mildly, I am currently in a bit of a weird head space. It hasn't sunk in that I have left my job, which I loved and adored to go into the realm of the unknown. However I haven't just become jobless I have a job lined up which I start on the 3rd of April that I am so crazy excited to begin, it is another retail position however it is with one of my favourite plus-size brands.
It has created this time in my life when I am being very super reflective and going on a journey through my emotions and feelings, on the one hand I am in this crazy anxious moment where the fear of the unknown is all consuming but on the other hand I have this beautiful fresh new expierence ready to begin. I think this weird bouquet of feeling is only further emphasised by the bigger realisation that I have 4 weeks left of university and then I am done. I am finished with education and ready to transition into the big bad world. In my head I am going to try and work full time for a while and get some money behind me before deciding what to do next, at the minute this involves leaving northern Ireland even just briefly to expierence what the world has to offer.
I left my job feeling so nervous and excited about the future that I sort of forgot that it was my birthday the next day, all of my focus and energy went on getting through my final shift without weeping ( which didn't happen , what can I say I am a total emotional wreck!) that it was only when I woke up and my mum had put out an amazing birthday breakfast spread that I began to realise that it was infact my birthday. That as a statement sounds ridiculous right, not realising it is your own birthday but my brain can only handle so much that it just didn't process.
What I have started to understand is that this amazing new pathway has started to enter my life and I have to accept and embrace it. I am super excited not only to begin my new job but to see where it could possibly lead me in the future. I have spent alot of this year researching plus-size fashion for my dissertation that it has become such a passion and ambition of mine to work in that realm of the fashion industry, I am really hoping that this move is the first rung of the ladder towards a career.
I suppose most of all I have found an inner strength that I wasn't fully aware of, if you had said to me even a couple of months ago that I would leave my current job so soon I would have laughed and told you to wind your neck in and to stop being an eejit but now on the other side I suppose of leaving I am just so excited to get going. This week is a super busy one for me with my sisters formal, 2 blog events and my leaving do in the next three days that I wanted to get this quick mini update up so you guys know that I am still around and that GSV is still going strong. Once I have finished uni I will put more of a focus on the blog and I have plans in motion for a revamp and redo of the layout and style of the blog so there will be that to look forward to.
I have seen the light at the beginning of this chapter and for a the first time in a few years I am embracing my birthday as a symbolic time of change, renewal and growth!
I hope you guys are having a brilliant 2015 so far, stay tuned for a few pre planned posts appearing in the next week or so
Until Next Time…T-j Xo

So this is hell, where I should die
A grave I dug for myself
To lie down and slowly fade
All that I am to shift and suffocate
Dirt heaped in abusive piles snuffing out my life
The airs toxic, my lungs ache from holding my breath
I deserve it. I am the coward who ran away
Running to safety, or running to death?
Who of us can tell.
I will die here, gasping for air and sweet release
Alas none shall I find, for true freedom is not my Fate.

Parenting and the Mountians, Part IILeave a comment
September 4, 2012 by jooshanoosh
So you all remember last week when I took my wife and kids inside and mountain to die. Well, I thought I had made it pretty clear that we were no longer going to parent outside but then, for some reason, America celebrates Labor. I don't know why and I asked my wife, who is the smartest person I know, and she told me that it was because "We now have weekends". I smiled because I knew this response was one of two things: One, she was serious and I didn't want to look like a fool…(er) or Two, she was joking, however she would only be joking because she thought I was joking by asking such a stupid question in which case I had to play it off like I was joking. So I still don't know why we have Labor Day, (cause if it's for the weekends why do we celebrate it on Monday?) I could google it, but so could you and that's not why we're here anyway.
We went to a cabin. Yup. One week after the Cave of Death we went to the Cabin of Death. No, not really, it was more the cabin of leaf changing tranquility and a moose. I found myself with the weekend off and Lindsay found herself in the same predicament, which almost never happens, so we tried to whip up some fun plans but it turns out everyone made plans for Labor Day before Friday afternoon. Literally, my brother, who was camping, told us there was no room for us cause his friends were coming up that night, he may have meant in his trailer but it sounded more like, in the whole Utah Wild. Well, just about to give up we called Lindsay's cousin and our good friends, (they are the same people not two sets of people one being a cousin and one being a good friend…so I guess I should have wrote Lindsay's cousin who is our good friend but that would complicate things, not like this parenthesized paragraph which only simplifies.) and they were more then happy to go to their grandfathers cabin with us. So we went…however, we did leave the backpack of death behind which is strange as it would have been perfect for such a trip. So we cabined, and took naps (that's four adults and five kids under 5 all sleeping at the same time… karma for that hellish cave fiasco) and ate good trashy food and watched Brother Bear (really Phil Collins, that's the best you can do? Perhaps it was, in which case, get a job.) and read the book club book and took a drive over unpaved mountain roads with all the kids free of seat-belts. I know, it could have been awful but it was wonderful.
Then this morning, my little family, all on our own, drove up to Mirror Lake and went to the Provo River Upper Falls or somewhere and it was down right lovely. The kids loved it, the dog loved it, we loved it, everyone happy and together.
As we drove away, my wife and I had a great young parenting talk and I thought I'd pass on our barely tested wisdom. Several weeks ago we had a hard talk…not a fight, a hard talk, and it seemed that there was this score keeping going on between her and I. When one of us would come home we would relay all the horrible and hard things two kids and a dog had done, the point being to prove to the other one how hard my day home with the kids was. It was strange but it was palpable. So after a while we got in to a fight…not a hard talk, a fight and it was as if we had been storing bullets of hard work we had been doing while the other did nothing. There was a big feeling of 'I have it the hardest and I can prove it!' Well, I don't know how it is in your house but in my house after every fight there is the fight summery where we pin point where we went wrong. And it's good, cause we've made up and we can cop up to our blame. And at some point one of us figured out this Score Keeping and we both knew that was the center. There is no equality in marriage. You never come out fair and square so don't strive for it. There is, however, the good stuff and the bad stuff. And for weeks we had been laying the bad stuff at the others feet, hoping they'd trip on it and get all covered in it and know how much Bad Stuff I had to deal with because it had just ruined her favorite sweater. So we gave it up. The new rule was just give me the good stuff. When we tell each other about our days, we just pass off the good stuff. Lindsay has done much better than I have, in my defense I have been at work picking up the clothes I thought I asked you to hang up yourselves and return to me with a smile, but she told me that this new point of view has changed the way she parents. We have a two year old, so most days are pretty much 50/50, half good, half bad and so it's just as easy to focus on one as it is the other, and she found that her days were just better when she thought about the good stuff.
So I know it's not ground breaking, and I'm sure there is a Covey step that tells me all of that in a much better way, but for us, in our own little experiment, it's worked…or is working. It turns out we really like taking care of our kids and we like having a partner who likes taking care of our kids, too. I guess what I'm saying is, take the drive to the Upper Falls, it's worth the view.
Also, we saw a moose.

At our Architecture on Tap series this summer, we will re-imagine both the profession and our city through the lens of "Resiliency." The Women in Architecture Network, the Latinos in Architecture Network, and the Communities by Design Committee will each take on one of three sessions to discuss their own brand of resiliency.
First up, WiA explores the topic, "Reinventing My Story: A Nontradtional Path." There is no guidebook or map that tells you what to do with your life and the rule book can be rewritten. For some, this can be a freeing experience as they carve their own unique path to success. Join us as we kick off the summer with a panel of women who took their architectural background and created their own rules by bridging their unique experiences to pivot to a different platform.

What happens when you are having your quiet time and every chapter you read links itself perfectly to the one before and then deals exactly with what is going on in our world? You become overwhelmed with the BIG God we serve and thankful for a God who cares and is in everything. Having not anticipated sharing for a second time this week, I feel like I should just share some of the verses I read this morning and allow God to reveal to your own soul what it is He desires to speak to you.
Oh Lord, draw us into Your word. May we not hide from it in fear.
Have a blessed Saturday!!
"Now when we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide the whole animal. And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites. And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.
Every sea creature, reptile, bird, or animal is tamed and has been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. We praise our Lord and Father with it, and we curse men who are made in God's likeness with it. Praising and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers, these things should not be this way. Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening? Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water.
Who is wise and has understanding among you? He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom's gentleness. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't brag and deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace." James 3:3-18
"Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good" Romans 12:9
"Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good." Romans 12:21
"He said to mankind, 'The fear of the Lord is wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding." Job 28:28
"Lord, You have been our refuge in every generation." Psalm 90:1
"Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts. LORD-how long? Turn and have compassion on Your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with Your faithful love so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days. Make us rejoice for as many days as You have humbled us, for many years as we have seen adversity. Let Your work be seen by Your servants, and Your splendor by their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish for us the work of our hands-establish the work of our hands!"
Psalm 90:12-17
"The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
When a land is in rebellion, it has many rulers, but with a discerning and knowledgeable person, it endures.
A destitute leader who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no food.
Those who reject the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law battle against them.
Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand everything."
Proverbs 28:1-5

Yield: Makes about 1-1/2 cups
Bianco Sardo is a sheepy aged Sardinian cheese. Its tang pairs nicely with that of citrus, and since it's not too salty, it won't overpower fruit notes. If you can't find it, use a high-quality pecorino.

'We have been asking for these changes for decades.... We hope the government carries through.' - SGEU president Bob Bymoen.
Regina (13 March 2009) - The Saskatchewan Government and General Employees' Union (SGEU/NUPGE) welcomes a promise by the province to increase resources, staff training and security measures in the correctional system as a response to the high-profile inmate escape from the Regina Correctional Centre last August.
"We have been asking for these changes for decades. Our front-line staff have identified issues such as inadequate training, sub-standard infrastructure and information systems as key problems for many years," says SGEU president Bob Bymoen.
"We hope the government carries through with the promise to increase funding and resources, and makes the necessary policy changes needed to create real improvements."
Bymoen noted that many of the same recommendations, such as enhanced training, were made in the 1993 Rankin report but were not acted upon.
"While many of the recommendations in this report respond to what front-line workers have been asking for over the years, we are disappointed that the report identifies a strong union presence in the correctional centre as a problem, says Bymoen.
"The allegation is that management is hampered by the union. But, as everyone involved in industrial relations knows, management has the right to manage. In the absence of clear direction and leadership, front-line staff often turned to the union to help address concerns," he adds. "It is unacceptable to attempt to offload the blame for these problems on staff. Management has the responsibility to manage."
Important issue of scope
The report also recommends changes to the rules governing who is in and out of the scope of the union, which is inappropriate and does not fall under the mandate of the investigation, adds Bymoen.
The increased beds announced for corrections in Saskatoon are long-overdue and welcome.
"But it is worth noting that, while this will help alleviate pressures in the men's system, it does not help solve the overcrowding problem in Pinegrove, the correctional centre for women in Prince Albert," Bymoen notes.
He adds that many of the problems with inmate management result from the fact that there is very little positive, rehabilitative programming left in the system.
"Programs were cut in a short-sighted effort to save money over the last two decades. With little to fill their time inmates are more likely to engage in dangerous activities that have serious consequences for themselves and staff," he says.
"We are paying for the cuts in programming and infrastructure made in the 1990s. It is a clear demonstration that cutting back on public services to save a few dollars today has far more serious and costly repercussions down the road."
The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is one of Canada's largest labour organizations with over 340,000 members. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families and to build a stronger Canada by ensuring our common wealth is used for the common good. NUPGE

ONE MINUTE INTRODUCTORY VIDEOhttps://youtu.be/e9CnDTZjYzwElizabeth Washburn After graduating from Agnes Scott College (Decatur, Georgia) with an Astrophysics major, I went house shopping with my sister to find her first home. I loved seeing the homes, with all their individual features, but I had no desire to show them or repair them. The Realtor introduced me to my first loan officer manager and an informational interview turned into a job. I was hooked on housing.I had just graduated from college, and had the ability to earn very little and get by financially in a career that was 100% commission. I never imagined mortgages would be my lifetime career, but 20+ years later, my work always stays interesting, and it allows me to help inform and protect people in the largest purchase transaction of their life.Mortgage Industry HistoryOver the last two decades, I've witnessed the entire overhaul of the mortgage industry. When I started in this industry at the age of twenty-two, no licensing was required for either the company or the loan officer. There was NO continuing education, absolutely NO knowledge-based testing and NO requirements to even be registered or licensed as a loan officer.
After the overhaul started in 2009, Georgia went from having over 2500 mortgage broker companies listed with the Department of Banking and Finance to slightly under 600, and Georgia went from being #2 in the country in mortgage fraud to nearly zero. This transition is a great example of how adding licensing to an industry, an industry so crucial to the health of our economy, is a catalyst to a higher level of knowledge and professionalism. We still have a long way to go, but it is a start.The government continues to be involved with further legislation designed to give a layer of protection to primary residence purchasers. This legislation, known as TRID, began in October 2015. The most basic changes are two documents, the Loan Estimate (LE) and the Closing Disclosure (CD), be forwarded to the borrower three days after application and three days before closing. It does not allow lenders to collect any fees until the disclosures are acknowledged by the borrowers. Without your timely acknowledgement, the loan can be delayed. Be sure to stay aware of what is in your email when applying for a mortgage.
Licensing InformationAs a Mortgage Broker, I am subject to state and national licensing laws. My license to originate means I can operate independently of a bank. Georgia has no required training for a bank loan officer. They submit their name to the state for a bank registration number.
I have a mortgage brokering license. This was obtained by passing a knowledge-based test about the mortgage industry and continually obtaining a minimum of 8 hours of continuing education every year. I am required to have a college education and report any foreclosures that occur in my name. I also am reviewed by the FBI and must submit my credit history to obtain a license.
The mortgage industry is not uniform in its requirements. So fair warning, if you decide to seek your loan at a bank, you may end up telling all your private information to a processing center employee who gathers information and your encounter with the loan officer will likely be brief.

Japanese anti-fouling RO chemical gets NSF certification
Tokyo-based Kurita Water Industries Ltd has obtained certification from NSF International for an anti-fouling reverse-osmosis (RO) desalination membrane treatment chemical, which can be used while the plant remains in production.Kuriverter IK-110 is a slime-control agent designed to inhibit slime and prevent it from fouling the membrane. The company says that this is a new type of chemical product that harnesses the ability to peel slime fouling off the RO membrane.
This, combined with the fact that it uses high-safety materials, has led to the claim that Kuriverter IK-110 is the world's first NSF-certified slime‑control agent that is capable of functioning effectively while the RO membrane system is still in use.
Until now, says Kuriverter, removing slime fouling the RO membrane as part of the drinking-water production process has involved halting the RO system and immersing the membrane in disinfectant chemicals. As Kuriverter IK-110 combines safety with the ability to keep the RO membrane system running, however, it enables systems to produce drinking water more efficiently and can help to reduce maintenance and management costs.
As such, it is likely to be used for an even wider range of purposes in the future, including food and beverage plants as well as desalination facilities.
The Kurita Group has already obtained NSF certification for RO membrane pretreatment coagulants and scale-inhibitors, meaning that all of its major RO membrane water-treatment chemicals are now NSF certified. This will enable Kurita to continue increasing its sales in countries, regions and markets where RO membrane treatment is on the rise, focusing particularly on desalination facilities supplying drinking water.

I still haven't finished putting everything back since the housekeepers came. That's the thing about having a housekeeper, even for a day. You have to move everything. Especially the first time. plus, one thing I didn't like… You know how they ask you, "How often do you clean?" but not in an innocent way. It comes off more like, do you ever clean?, have you cleaned in the last century? do you know how to clean? I don't need your guilt tone lady..we hired you to clean for a reason. The holidays had passed, I'd had surgery, I'd been sick. I don't need to explain my entire life to you and why I hadn't cleaned. Sheesh.
Anyway, January has been a horrible month for migraines but it's February now so lets hope things get better. Maybe since the weather is supposed to warm up.
I've already come to the conclusion there is no way I could live in a cold climate.

Learning how to measure your cervix is as glorious as it sounds. It's the best. It's fantastic. We promise.
Okay, we may be using alternative facts here, but it does play an important role in figuring out what menstrual cup might work the best for you or why the one you've tried didn't. While it is just one piece of the puzzle (we recommend checking out our popular menstrual cup quiz for the rest) it does play a major role in comfort. Not to mention that among the benefits of switching to the cup, increased comfort really is one of the best parts of switching to a menstrual cup.
So How Do You Measure Your Cervix?
One basic idea is what is sometimes referred to as 'the knuckle rule'. If you can insert your finger and feel your cervix with just the first knuckle to the opening of your vagina you have a low cervix. Second knuckle would be considered average. And finally, the third knuckle (or can't reach?) would be considered high!
This is by no means a perfect way of measuring your cervix (since all hands are different) but it's a pretty easy, basic method to help get an idea of where your cervix sits.
To better demonstrate how to measure your cervix, we decided to make a very PACII how-to. We hope you enjoy it and as always, if you have any questions, leave a comment here, on the video, in our Facebook group, or basically anywhere else you can track us down. We'll do what we can to help!

Duplex Tibbaut is a minimal interior renovation located in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Raúl Sánchez. The starting point was two independent dwellings on top of each other on the ground floor and mezzanine of a modest, old apartment building between dividing walls in the heart of the Raval. Both dwellings were in an absolute state of neglect and disrepair. The client's requirement was to concentrate the main living spaces on the mezzanine floor and expand them on the ground floor with other spaces with more diffuse functions that could be used as living room, study, work area.
The proposal is clear and direct: in the middle of the space, insert two 2-meter side squares rotated 45º over the dominant axis, their vertices overlapping without touching the original walls, and extruded through both floors. A simple and resounding arrangement in which two ideal shapes, two perfect extruded squares, are imposed on the existing irregularity and arrange all the floor space without the need for any other means or elements. One of the squares will hold the stairs communicating both floors, and the other will house the bedroom on the upper floor and the toilet and office spaces on the ground floor.
From the outset, the structural intervention required overhauling the foundation, high precision in placing the central squares, as well as the precise cutting of the existing wooden beams for the openings and double heights. The cut wooden beams either rest on the new steel porticos or lean on the lower wing of the new beams, always for the purpose of allowing the clean extrusion of the squares. The duplex is equipped with underfloor heating with a highly efficient air-therm system. On the ground floor, three existing paintings of Brazilian origin have been preserved, and the proposed inside circulation places them right at the stairs exit. These paintings are the reason the client, of Brazilian origin herself, initially decided to buy these two properties and undertake the project.
