Filmmaker Don North Examines El Salvador's Past and Hopes for Its Future
Nearly two decades removed from a bloody and divisive civil war, El Salvador finds itself at a critical junction in the young history of its republic. Don North's recently released film, Guazapa: Yesterday's Enemies, revisits the origins of the war in order to historically contextualize the country's contemporary challenges in achieving social justice and sustainable democratization.
What follows is a brief review of Don North's documentary, as well as Mr. North's assessment of the first year of Mauricio Funes' presidency.

Revisiting Guazapa
By COHA Research Associates Whitney Cole & Alexander Brockwehl
Guazapa: Yesterday's Enemies begins with the monumental event in the country's modern history – the murder of Archbishop Oscar Romero. It was he, more than any other contemporary Salvadoran, who possessed abiding empathy for the poor and instilled hope in the hopeless. His tragic death, as well as the massacre of innocent civilians that took place at his funeral, constituted the last straw for those modest heroes who, like Romero, were apostles of nonviolent change. The bloody civil war that followed is illustrated through scenes from Don North's and Dr. Charlie Clements' first Salvadoran venture to Guazapa in 1983, when they lived with the guerrillas who were locked in a life-and-death struggle with the established U.S.-backed government.
Twenty-six years later, North and Clements revisit Guazapa in order to illuminate the conditions of a country nearly two decades removed from civil war. They return to find many survivors whose testimonies assert that while ostensible stability has arrived to the country, the shadow of the conflict – in which 85,000 innocent civilians lost their lives – still lingers and continues to shape the modern Salvadoran experience.
As shown by the survivors' stories, life for many Salvadorans has only marginally improved since the war. Organized gang violence has replaced the political violence of the 1980s and '90s, with vulnerable, marginalized youth entering the drug industry for lack of viable financial options. El Salvador's economy has reached rock bottom, increasing unemployment and further dividing the impoverished masses from the privileged elites. Amid increasing corruption and a highly polarized electorate, Mauricio Funes was elected in 2009, just before the film's release. Funes is presented in the film as a potential source of change and hope for El Salvador, but it is still too early in his term to determine whether or not this speculation will be substantiated.
North and Clements' documentary also highlights a number of themes that are relevant to a study of not only El Salvador, but also of twentieth- and twenty-first-century hemispheric relations. While not belaboring the point, the film makes frequent reference to U.S. intervention in the 1980s. At the time, the U.S. government rationalized supporting a series of Salvadoran military regimes on the grounds that they were democratically elected, but as Doctor Clements points out in a debate on "Crossfire," free and fair elections mean little when human, legal, and civil rights are not being protected by the elected government. Clements' assertion that clean elections do not guarantee good governance challenges the virtues of strictly procedural definitions of democracy, and calls into question the oft-relied upon American perception that legitimate elections constitute the lone prerequisite to acquiring the designation of being a democracy.
In combining past footage with a glimpse of present-day El Salvador, the film exposes the psychological ramifications of the civil war that extend far beyond the quantifiable. A 1992 Amnesty Law, issued when the Arena party had total control of the federal government, ensured that the military regime would be exempted from any form of legal punishment for its role in countless deaths and disappearances. This law left the loved ones of those who died during the epoch of military rule with a desire for justice that will never be satiated. As North and Clements' film suggests, in order for El Salvador to progress it will have to assume the daunting task of reconciling the oppression and violence of its past with the realities, needs and goals of the future.
El Salvador: A President without a Party and a Party without a President?
By Don North, Independent Filmmaker
A year ago, I attended the inauguration of Mauricio Funes as President of El Salvador, after covering the election campaign. My recent documentary Yesterday's Enemies concludes with the dramatic narrow victory of Funes that enabled him to become president of his nation, which inspired the Salvadoran nation to believe change may at last be possible and that a new era in El Salvador's history could be starting. I had reported on the bloody civil war in 1983 when El Salvador was a battlefield for the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the Cold War. At that time the FMLN was considered the most powerful leftist guerilla group in the America's. Funes won the presidency skillfully, taking on the concept of change in a traditionally conservative society, but one that was tired of right wing governments incapable of transforming poverty, inequality, injustice and insecurity into something better.
Now that the June 1st anniversary of President Funes inauguration recently passed, the FMLN and Funes are changing. But many Salvadorans now feel they have a President without a party and a party in power without a President. Funes continues to face challenges from the left and right. Business and conservative sectors do not trust him. In attempting to win their confidence, Funes has reached out to conservative leaders and the financial sector. He is following policy recommendations of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. He has made many concessions and thus, the sizeable leftist wing of his FLMN feels that he has drifted the party too far to the right. Nevertheless, faced with a right-wing bloc in the National Assembly that threatens to prevent initiatives he supports from passing, Funes anticipated the inevitable split within the ARENA party. Bills that were thwarted years ago are now likely to become law. The price is to be challenged by officials within his own FMLN, but Funes has shown remarkable skills of being capable of achieving FMLN goals and he has still retained a good deal of support within his party.
In September 2009 in a speech to the United Nations, Funes asserted he is leading a government of national unity. The same month he was named the most popular president in Latin America.
Certainly Funes has moved toward the center in order to achieve his campaign promises of hope and change. His situation is similar to that of President Barack Obama, as the pluses and minuses involved here are very similar. Both took over the presidency from conservative administrations. Both presidents have constituencies in their parties, which are farther to the left on the political spectrum than their leader.
Funes' centrist stance has enhanced his popularity and made it more likely that his government can legislate improvements in the economy and implement harsh military measures to stem the lawlessness that claims an average of 12 murder victims each day.
Funes also has distanced himself from the traditional hard line FMLN policies embraced by Vice President Sanchez Ceren. This maneuver has proved successful in the polls. Recently Ceren was in Venezuela and strongly supported Hugo Chávez and lashed out against the United States. Funes publicly rebuked him and Ceren was forced to acknowledge that only President Funes could set the course of El Salvador's foreign policy. The FMLN hard liners have seemingly accepted the fact they cannot appeal to a majority of Salvadorans and have settled into an uneasy alliance with the popular President.
Funes' tough stance on reversing his country's environmental crisis has won him support on both the left and right, although is not likely to immediately help the economy. The President refused to grant mining rights for the Canadian-owned El Dorado gold mines, citing severe cyanide contamination and the use of scarce water supplies to extract the ore. Pacific Rim mining company is now suing the El Salvador government for hundreds of millions of dollars, claiming their rights under the US-Central American Free Trade agreement.
Another popular move on Funes' part was to send 5,000 troops into the streets to combat the rising crime and murder rate. So far, however, the bold martial initiative has had little effect.
The main challenge for Funes is dealing with the nation's serious economic crisis. The standard of living has dangerously sagged in recent years to the extent 40% of Salvadorans live in poverty. Unemployment is also in the range of that 40% at the same time fewer dollars are flowing back into the country resulting from shrinking remittances from the US. With the worldwide downturn in the economy it is unlikely El Salvador can dramatically forge ahead anytime soon.
After only one year it may be too early to assess the results of initiatives launched by Funes, but so far they have been popular and have sustained his high approval rating. Last September, his approval rating was at 84%, the highest in the 15 Latin countries surveyed.
Funes ultimately found many substantial successes throughout his first year. Some of the most important are the fact that he strengthened the country's agricultural sector and its ability to produce its own food needs by increasing agriculture production and legalizing land possession. He also initiated an expansion of the school lunch program. In a move to bolster local economies as well as help school children, he contracted to produce 2.8 million school uniforms to be freely distributed. As a part of this same program, he also improved Public Health programs and eliminated charges in public hospitals.
In a major step to healing war wounds and promoting reconciliation, Funes made a formal apology and announced an investigation of the 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero. However, he was criticized by the right for failing to also apologize for the abuses committed by FMLN rebels during the war. The UN estimated that the FMLN was responsible for 15% of abuses while ARENA was responsible for 85%.
On the foreign relations front, Funes improved relations with the US during a state visit to Washington. Funes made a positive impression in his address to the United Nations General Assembly and has taken an active initiative to resolve South American relations, including a leadership position in resolving the post-coup problems of Honduras.
In one year it is unrealistic to expect that a new President can change a situation that El Salvador has experienced since its birth as a republic. In spite of some progress in the face of worldwide economic malaise, Funes has proved incapable of fighting crime and violence, which is presently the country's main crisis. He has failed to effectively fight the corruption of previous regimes and has made little progress in reversing the inequalities of this society, which due to its construction of wealth and power, is more in keeping with a feudal monarchy than a democracy. For Funes, the honeymoon is over. He promised hope and change during the election campaign, and these are now very much overdue.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 16): Malaysian stocks swung back into the red today, wiping out gains made over the last two days as investors cashed in on profits.
The benchmark FBM KLCI traded in negative territory throughout the day to close down 8.67 points or 0.48% at 1,777.27 points. Market breadth was negative with 515 losers and 290 gainers.
A total of 2.11 billion worth of shares were traded for RM1.91 billion compared with 2.4 billion shares worth RM2.03 billion on Wednesday.
According to Hong Leong Investment Bank head of retail research Loui Low, investors in index-linked counters are likely to stay in profit-taking mode amid uncertainty over Turkey's economy and the US-China trade war fears.
However, he noted that beneficiaries of the weaker ringgit, which has fallen in line with other emerging market currencies, include export-driven counters such as Unisem (M) Bhd, which has seen a slight uptick in its share price.
Although the trade war between China and the US may affect these export-driven companies in the long term, Low said they could see improvements in earnings in the near term as long as the US dollar continues to strengthen.
Advance Synergy Bhd, AHB Holdings Bhd and Nova MSC Bhd were the most actively traded counters on Bursa Malaysia today, while British American Tobacco (Malaysia) Bhd, Heineken Malaysia Bhd and Petronas Gas Bhd led decliners.
Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd, Malaysia Pacific Industries Bhd and United Plantaitions Bhd were top gainers.
Asian markets were battered to one-year lows amid growing fears over Turkey's currency crisis and an economic slowdown in China, Reuters reported.
Japan's Nikkei closed down 0.06% while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.3%. Both Shanghai Composite Index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dipped 0.8%.
Another sector that witnessed a drag was technology stocks, which were pressured by the performance of Tencent Holdings Ltd after it registered its first decline in quarterly profit in almost 13 years on poor gaming revenue, Reuters said.

The application process can be tricky. As the landlord, you are trying to get as much useful information as you can, while the applicant may have other concerns. You may be dealing with applicants who are local or from out of state. In today's world, there is no reason to be juggling a mix of email, text, and paper copies. The application process can be streamlined for everyone involved by taking advantage of an online screening process, like the one offered by ezLandlordForms. What are the parts of a tenant screening and how do you get each piece completed using electronic record keeping?
Through our online portal, ezLandlordForms allows you to send a screening application to multiple potential tenants.
Background and Credit Check
Once you have reviewed your potential tenants, you can choose the best one or two applicants and move forward with additional screenings. Through ezLandlordForms you can send order a background and credit check. Our system streamlines the payment process, as you can select who pays! The credit check will give you lots of important information; in addition to the credit score itself, be sure to take into account items like late payments, open accounts, and overall debt burden. You can add an optional eviction report as well.
Pay Stubs
The standard requirement is to see income of three times the rental amount for a given time period. Pay stubs can easily be sent electronically through email.
Driver's License
This is an item that can be scanned and sent through email if you would like to have it electronically.
Electronic Storage
With web-based email or document storage, you can feel confident that the documents you need are always close at hand. Just as you would with any paper record keeping, be sure to stay up to date on virus protection, firewall security, and secure web protocols to protect yourself and your applicants.
Landlord Recommendations
When obtaining a recommendation from a previous landlord, whether over the phone or in writing, always keep the human factor in mind. Landlords who fear a lawsuit may not offer much information other than confirming basic facts. A landlord who is encouraging a tenant to move elsewhere might not tell you full story, out of concerns that the tenant will not find a new place to live. No two people get along in the same way, so be wary of extra baggage in the tenant-landlord relationship.
Screening Is Not Your Only Defense
Hopefully the screening process helps you to find the best tenant you can. But it's impossible to predict what will happen during the course of a lease term, even with the best tenant. Your lease is the legal protection that the relationship will proceed with certain expectations and consequences. Remember to write a lease to protect your investment and your interests, even when you think an applicant will make the perfect tenant.

Masterchef 2010
Congratulations to Dhruv Baker - Masterchef 2010! He's amazingly talented, has the "palate of an angel" and is also very easy on the eye. He's already entered into my Chef Candy hall of fame.
I really enjoyed the latest series of Masterchef which finished last night. The format has been ramped up to conclusively test the contestants grit, determination and talent.
For all their faults and foibles Greg and John are the perfect presenters. Do we really want people who are groomed within an inch of their lives? I enjoy expressing my horror at their wardrobe disasters almost as much as I enjoy the food.
My only real complaint about this series is that the contestants are forced [surely they are?] to ramble on endlessly about how much they want to win. How many ways are there to say the same thing over and over again? My tolerance level for any kind of repitition is low at the best of times. We GET it OK? We understood years ago that everyone who enters this show wants to win. I suppose all this "stating the bleeding obvious" goes some way to padding out the programme.
I'm looking forward to seeing Dhruv in action at Taste of London in Regents Park in July. I'm presuming he'll be there, as in previous years the winners have been spied behind the counter of a professional kitchen.

I used to love those Kraft cheddar and triangle foil wrapped cream cheeses. Now I prefer stinky ones like blue cheese and goat cheese.
But I still love Toberones. I have never heard of Kenco.

Some of the Kraft products you mention are unique to your side of the pond, but others are shared (just with different names. E.g.: Philadelphia Soft Cheese in the U.K. is Philadelphia Cream Cheese in the U.S.)
As for Grape Nuts, that is an evil, vile cereal. How so, you ask? You pour 1/4 cup into a bowl, add milk, start to eat and you're there for an eternity. Plus, it's loud and drowns out any contemplative, early-morning thinking you might be trying to do as you enjoy your breakfast repast. Lots of people love Grape Nuts and claim they're quite tasty as a warm cereal. I take a pass and go for something quieter like oatmeal.

P.S. Just to be clear: Grape Nuts is usually eaten cold, but can be prepared warm. Once it's warm, it's a quiet cereal. Otherwise, it's a cacophony.

Published on October 10, 2014
More often than not I get asked the question by clients, "Is bloodwork really that necessary?" Our beloved pets cannot always tell us how they are feeling nor do they show any signs of sickness. As pet owners, we play a key role in keeping our pets as healthy as possible. We want to make sure our family members live a long, healthy and happy life with us! On a personal note before I became a veterinarian, my Australian shepherd was diagnosed with chronic lymphoid leukemia at age 10. Going back through his records, there were signs of illness from the time he was 6 years old. If I would have run annual bloodwork, I may have been able to better manage his disease and let him live a longer, fuller life .
Here are some examples of when bloodwork is necessary….
Preventive Care Screening: This is one of the most important reasons to run bloodwork on your pet. Underlying illness does not always have visible signs and regular blood testing allows us to establish a baseline of health and identify irregularities before they become crises. Kidney, thyroid, heart, and adrenal disease as well as diabetes, if caught early by regular screening, can all be managed long-term with medication which prolongs our pet's life and avoids expenses associated with emergency visits and hospital stays.
Sick and Emergency Situations: Bloodwork at this time is crucial for us to see the overall health of our pets and allows us to make any emergency decisions in regards to treatment quickly!
Pre-Anesthetic Testing: If our pets are undergoing any surgery, dentistry or other procedure that requires anesthesia, we would like to make sure anesthesia is safe and if we need to make any adjustments to anesthetic protocols if abnormalities are found. We usually run bloodwork the morning of the procedure since that is the day the anesthesia will be performed.
Monitoring Bloodwork with Medication Use: Some medications we dispense are metabolized through certain organs and we would like to make sure we are not straining any of these while on medication; For example, an older dog with signs of arthritis may be prescribed a Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug such as Rimadyl (NSAID) to help with pain and inflammation. These drugs are metabolized through the liver and can also affect the kidneys so we check the function of these organs regularly with our arthritic pets that are on NSAIDs. With some other medications, bloodwork is a way for us to ensure that the correct dosage is being prescribed (i.e. running a T4 test to make sure the methimazole dose for a hyperthyroid cat is correct).
Any questions about bloodwork and if you would like to run bloodwork on your pet please don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com

I finally gave in to my curiosity and checked out the hyped up monster movie Cloverfield last night.
WOW. And that is not an exaggeration. I haven't seen a movie that gripping in a very long time. Congrats to producer J.J. Abrams and director Matt Reeves for an amazing picture that takes us back to the days of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and It Came From Beneath the Sea and other classics from special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen.
In fact, this movie is what you get if you were to combine The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, King Kong, Blair Witch Project, and the television show Friends and stick it all in a blender and press ICE CRUSHER . Luckily it has more King Kong than it does Friends, but my analogy is still close.
The film starts out in a Manhattan loft packed with twenty-somethings sending off a friend to Japan for a new job. (I kept grinning every time Japan was mentioned or referenced because I couldn't help but remember Godzilla hailed from Japan!)
Soon, the earth begins to violently shake and the breaking news reports an earthquake has hit near the harbor and capsized a ship.
The realism of everyone's reactions is intensified as everyone starts running for the street, some whispering to each other "Do you think this is another attack?"--an obvious reference to 9/11.
We soon find out it isn't an earthquake. Nor is it a terrorist plot. The enemy is not human at all, and possibly not even of this earth. A giant creature has surfaced and destroys skyscrapers as easily as a child knocks down toy blocks.
What impressed me the most about the film was the stark realism that the handheld camera delivers. In fact, the whole movie is told from the video camera's point of view because the original intention of the filming was to chronicle the main character's bon voyage and the good wishes from his family and friends. But once the camera is rolling, why not keep it rolling and capture this cataclysmic event? As the character who carries the camera through most of the film states, "People are going to want to see this. They are going to want to see how it all went down."
That comment sent chills up my spine. It really did feel like the audience was sharing in this eye witness account of the destruction of New York City, if not humanity itself. We have the sinking feeling that this really IS the end. What hope is there when the military's best personnel and hardware can't make a dent in their attacks on the creature? More hopelessness falls on us as a
commanding officer says "Whatever it is, it's winning!"
The special effects are simply stunning and it is hard to believe that such impressive work was accomplished with an alleged $25 million budget. I grew up watching monster movies and disaster flicks. Even some of the newest and best always had a sense of being too "fake" for my taste. Not so with Cloverfield. It's mind boggling to watch because you swear you are witnessing the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge and the complete annihilation of Central Park. The danger, the angst, the suspense, the horror--all of it seems real and my heart was still racing even on the drive home.
Once the action starts, it doesn't let go. It is relentless and unforgiving. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. The pretty people don't emerge unscathed. There isn't a neat, perfectly tied up ending in under 90 minutes.
It was maddening to me that so many people in the theater didn't "get" the ending, or much of the movie for that matter. Some bolted out threatening demands of a refund. That they had been "ripped off" by the "stupid" ending. It just proved to me how conditioned so many movie patrons have become by the typical Hollywood cliches. Movies aren't SUPPOSED to end this way.
By the way, there is even a mystique surrounding where the title of the film comes from. The opening screen references "U.S. Designate Project Cloverfield" in the same vein as the "Manhattan Project" or other military endeavors. "Cloverfield" is also the name of a street not far from the production company's offices in Southern California. Some say it was the codename for the film so that details of the plot would not leak out.
Either way, the title of the film is very much like the ending of the movie. Some things are better left to the imagination.
We don't need to know what zip code the creature comes from or what its favorite hobbies are or why it's so ticked off at humanity for the film to grab us by the throats and never let go.
I can't wait to see this movie again and to buy the DVD so I can see how they pulled off this amazing film. And I don't say that about too many movies these days.

The DON has long been invested in applying these technologies to solve its top problems. The DON aims to make the naval services more lethal on the battlefield and reduce the risk to personnel and high value assets by taking the man out of the loop. The objective is to create AI systems that can free warfighters from dirty, dangerous and tedious activities, like mine disposal and cargo delivery, so they can focus on solving more complex warfighting challenges.
Rear Adm. Danelle Barrett, the Navy Cyber Security Division Director on the staff of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare (OPNAV N2N6), and the Digital Warfare Office staff discuss the Navy's vision for utilizing the Navy's data for warfighting advantage.
Admiral Barrett observed that to truly achieve what some experts are calling "algorithmic warfare," the Navy must move rapidly to data standardization and cloud computing. "To move these capabilities to the tactical edge we need to fundamentally change how we create and deliver content. We are at the point where we need revolution not evolution in those operational and technical architectures. This includes increased standardization, and becoming more agile so we can field capability quickly and better secure and efficiently transport data," she said.
We are a data-driven nation.
On the homefront, for many years industry has produced a succession of high tech household appliances and devices designed to take the drudgery out of routine housekeeping tasks.
From robotic cleaning devices to smart appliances, to HVAC controls and security systems, the plethora of household innovations, coupled with the internet of things (IoT) technology, has fostered a new generation of products aimed at enriching our daily lives, conserving energy, keeping us safe and reducing the number of mundane tasks we perform each day.
From high tech manufacturing to online retailers, the application of these technologies has created highly efficient systems and increasing productivity. Health care providers leverage the convergence of these technologies to improve patient care, diagnose illnesses more quickly, and predict and prevent pandemics.
On an international scale, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in conjunction with multiple organizations and government agencies, is working to build "Smart and Secure Cities and Communities." The idea is to make communities more resilient in the face of national disasters and other emergency situations. In a February event, Smart and Secure Cities and Communities Challenge Kickoff 2018, hundreds of tech innovators and municipal governments from around the world will seek to harness the power of networked IoT to address common problems — from easing traffic congestion and mitigating electrical blackouts to coordinating emergency response — solutions which can then be effectively replicated across multiple communities, according to NIST.
The possibilities for using these technologies for the common good, public safety and national defense appear limitless and can help ensure America's national security and economic prosperity — as well as improving the quality of life for individuals.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — It's been five years since a gunman opened fire inside a Connecticut elementary school – killing 26 people. In that time, schools have made safety and security a top priority.
The Sandy Hook school shooting was a sobering moment for many.
Lafayette School Corporation staff shared how it's always preparing to put children's safety first, and the effort goes far beyond locked doors.
"It was simply devastating," said Lafayette School Corporation teacher Nadine Roush.
Dec. 14, 2012 is a day Roush said stays with her.
"This was in an elementary school that served the same student population that I worked with every day," added Roush.
It was on that day a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six adult staff members in Sandy Hook Elementary. The event has changed the way schools look at safety.
"We start with the entryway because we want that to be safe and secure for the kids, the staff and any community members that might be inside," LSC Superintendent Les Huddle said.
Huddle said locked doors don't always keep people out.
"If someone wants to do something, we hope it will deter them 100 percent," added Huddle."The second hope and desire is that it will slow things down."
Huddle said the corporation works very closely with local police, and students and staff take part in drills to prepare for an intruder.
Roush said it's also important to keep tabs on students at all times.
"Everyone has become really aware of the need for security in the building and knowing who the people are in the building at any given time," she said.
Roush said emergency bags go everywhere with her class so updated personal and medical information is available for each student at all times.
"No one wants to think of this happening in our community, but if it does, I feel confident that the teachers and staff in the Lafayette
School Corporation are as ready as we can be," she said.
Roush and Huddle stressed that parents also play a huge role in school safety. They encourage them to review training and talk to their children about the importance of listening to their teachers and following directions.
West Lafayette School Corporation Superintendent Rocky Killion was not available for an on-camera interview Thursday.
He issued a statement to News 18 on school safety:
"School safety is always our top priority and we continue to assess our practices and procedures to improve safety for all students and staff."

The Mental State is a look at the complexities and cruel reality of mental disorders in teenagers and the resulting effects on family and those harmed by mental illness. Set in a small working class town, the action of the play centers around the character of Andy, a boy bullied in school and driven by hallucinations and the voice of his dead uncle.
Can a working class mother save her troubled son when her cries for help go unheard? Angela Cady is determined to get her son Andy through high school and on to community college. But mental illness threatens to destroy his future and tear the family apart. When Andy's volatility leads to hospitalization, and Angela's former addictions return to haunt her, she must summon strength to draw out help from a neglectful, poverty-stricken town. As Angela reaches out to an overextended school system, an underfunded community mental health program, and a church community overwhelmed by Andrew's anti-social behavior, her cries for help fall on deaf ears. Steeped in the center of America's open-carry gun culture, The Mental State explores the human story behind the newscasts, and asks how we as a national community can address the urgent issue of teenage mental illness
The action takes place in the fictional rural town of Havenville, Kentucky between the months of September and December of 2012.

Radhika (Prithvi's mum)
Chimply Fun is a wonderful environment for a child to begin his schooling. The teachers and akkas are extremely dedicated, patient, very affectionate and kind and this gives the parents a lot of confidence especially at the pre-nursery level. The teachers are open to suggestions, ideas from parents and they are implemented as well.
Thanks to Malini and her team for also inculcating the reading habit from such an early age-your method of issuing library books every week is great. I wish I had known of Chimply Fun when my elder son started school as he would have most definitely loved it here.
Viji (Shreya's mum)
A big thanks to the dedicated staff of Chimply Fun. It was a lovely show and one of the things here is that the teachers make it a point to see that every child is given a role in all activities and events. The procedure of giving worksheets every week is good that it reinforces that week's learning. Many a time, I have forgotten to submit it , but Malini never forgets to ask me!
The Chimply Fun t-shirt is a big hit with Shreya,…she loves it so much and refuses to remove it at the end of the day. She would be thrilled if it was the school uniform.
Mamta (Vaishant's mum)
Thanks for handholding Vaishant into the first real step of his life. You have exceeded my expectations in how you did it and I can't thank you enough.
Savitha (Sanvitis's mum)
One of the nicest things about Chimply Fun is the ever smiling faces of the teachers and the akkas. This gives a lot of confidence to the children as well as to the parents. The school has provided a very strong foundation and we will always tend to compare this when our kids go to a bigger school. Seema seems to be an inspiration to Sanviti who is always imitating her dance steps and posture.
Hema (Reesa's mum)
Chimply Fun has been the best option for my child. Like any other parent, I wanted the best for my child and I guess I have checked out each and every preschool in and around the area. The schools were either too expensive or having old methods of teaching. That was when a friend recommended Chimply Fun. The teachers are excellent. Their teaching methods are the best. My child loves her school so much and she is learning so many things at this early age. She is very happy at school, has improved tremendously in her communication; she uses new words effortlessly and has an overall improvement.
Beena (Mithila's mother)
Chimply Fun is living upto its name. Mithila herself believes she loves to go to school because she loves to play and is echoing the same thing. As Mithila's mum, I feel my child is in a secure environment and in safe hands at Chimply Fun.
Lakshmi(Aishwarya's Mother)
The teachers of Chimply fun always find the good qualities or the positive aspects in the child and make it a point to tell the child or the parent and this makes the child come out in nice colours and boosts the child's confidence. They are always open to take inputs from the parents and consider it.
I would have liked to keep Aishwarya at Chimply fun for the next year but unfortunately we will have to relocate. We will miss Chimply fun a lot.
Vani (Rohini's mom)
This is Rohini's mother. I would like to thank Chimply fun and all the staff members there for being such a great support. They have laid the perfect foundation for my daughter. 2yrs of my daughter's schooling was perfectly happy. She has enjoyed every bit of her day at Chimply fun. I would be very thankful to Seema for being the best teacher, a friend, a guide and such a great person. The teachers at Chimply fun know our children more than us. No words can actually express what they mean to me.
Bini ( Rohan Roy's Mom)
Rohan has been very enthusiastic to go to school everyday and this makes Chimply Fun special .I am happy with the overall development of Rohan and thanks a ton to Malini , Swathi and Seema
Mahalakshmi (Pranav's mother)
Pranav was very quiet in school from the beginning and not even talking to the teachers. But now, he is very fond of Seema/Malini/Swathi and also Radha akka and Sudha akka. I am sure he will never forget them. Everyday he keeps talking about them atleast once.
Its really sweet and also great that the teachers have created such a good rapport with the kids.
They have really worked hard and spent a lot of effort to bring our kids to this level, both in understanding things and in speaking as well.
This is Mahalakshmi (Pranav's mother) and Pranav is in Seema's class..
Mother Teresa
We cannot do great things on this earth,only small things with great love

Quick Take: APC won Bauchi South senate bye-election, but PDP may be salivating for 2019
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has swept some recent elections and bye-elections conducted across the country in recent weeks. The party has already said that the wins signal the "confidence and trust by our people in the President Muhammadu Buhari administration."
The ruling party is surely entitled to its victory dance after recording victories in Ekiti, Katsina, Bauchi, and Kogi. But in Bauchi, where President Buhari won in 2015 with more than 90% of the votes, APC strategists would be looking closely at the results of the recent Bauchi South senatorial bye-election and scratching their heads in concern.
Why the APC should be worried and why the PDP may be licking its lips
Here are the results as announced by INEC: APC got 119,489 votes; PDP got 50,256 votes, Green Party of Nigeria (GPN) got 33, 479 votes; APP got 11,217 votes; ANPP, 22,896 votes; ADC, 1754 votes; DA 467 votes; MMN 429 votes; PDC, 1,203 votes and SDP, 3700 votes.
That looks like a healthy lead. The problem for the APC however is that if you sum all the opposition votes together, the total comes to 51.21 per cent of total votes cast, while the APC candidate got 48.79 per cent. Again, in a state like Bauchi where Buhari won by 91 per cent in 2015, that's serious cause for concern.
Consider the 2015 election in that particular Bauchi South senatorial district. Only two candidates contested back then, Ali Wakili of the APC and Isa Yuguda of the PDP (who was the incumbent governor of the state at the time.) Wakili won that election with 341,708 votes (74.76 per cent) while Yuguda – despite being the state governor – only got 115,341 votes (25.24 per cent).
In the space of three years, APC's share of the votes has dropped from 74.76 percent to 48.79 percent. A win is a win, but if that figure declines further and the PDP puts its house in order in that state, it would make for an interesting play.
Some factors that are expected to still come into play before 2019:
- Several APC lawmakers in Bauchi, including the speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, may be defecting to the PDP if no solution is found to their current clashes with the Bauchi state governor.
- Also, the PDP presidential candidate is expected to be a Northerner. Unlike in 2015 when the PDP candidate was an Ijaw man from the South South, a Northern candidate at the top of the PDP ticket may give the opposition party more inroads in that state.
- Opposition parties may field a joint candidate against Pres. Buhari. They have already agreed in principle on this, although so many things can happen between now and 2019. But if they come together, then it strengthens the challenge they pose to the ruling party.
So while it is in order for the APC to celebrate its victory, the signs are not all good And the PDP will definitely be looking to capitalize.

One of the best ways to add some drama and life to your room is through an accent chair. It is what makes a focal point that draws the attention of people entering the room.
It is also an opportunity to display your style and add some charm to the room. However, to do all this, you first need to pick and use the right accent chair that merges well in your room, with other furniture and decor. And this is what this buying guide is all about, to help you choose the right chair that complements your room decor and furniture.
The most important point to consider is the purpose of the chair. You have to decide based on how you plan to use it. It should be a comfortable chair to snuggle in while reading your book. It can also help create a style statement or part of your room's conversation space.
You can also mix and match styles. Sometimes if your other furniture is modern or contemporary in style, then an antique accent chair makes an ideal focal point.
This is another important factor to bear in mind. In comparison with other furniture, the chair shouldn't be too small or big for your room. Poorly proportionate furniture only ends up making space look awkward, no matter how well the room's decor, or how beautiful your accent chair may be.
Besides, a very small chair will not be much visible in a large room, and too big a chair will take up more space, and you may not be able to accommodate other chairs. It is also important that your accent chair's height balances with other room seating.
You may also have to consider your height while buying your accent chair, as you will most probably be using it the most. If you are tall, then it is better to avoid the chairs that are too low to the ground. If you are short, then avoid chairs that have a deep seat length.
Different accent chairs come in different shapes and styles. You need to first decide if you want to create a traditional or a contemporary look. This is because some chairs may have distinct curves which make your room look distinguished. There are also other chairs that give your room a sleek and traditional look.
Generally, a sleek silhouette accent chair is better if you have more of sleek furniture while a low-seated, armless slipper chair complements a low seated sofa better.
If you are looking for something premium in style, then look for chairs with soft fabrics like velvet or suede. And if you have kids or pets around, then it is better to look for durability in a leather accent chair.
Oversized chairs are best if you are looking for something comfortable where you can curl up into at the end of the day with a book or watch your favorite show or movie.
Don't forget to set a budget, and stick to it while looking for your accent chair. With so many beautifully designed chairs made using the best materials, there's a high chance of your getting carried away!
While you don't have to spend too much for one, too cheap chairs may be low in quality too. Generally, you get better chairs if you are ready to spend more for it. However, if you don't want to spend too much for it, then you may look for accent chairs that are under $100.
You should also choose your chair based on its color and texture. Remember, they become your room's focal point, and should not end up lost in the room's decor.
If you have a neutral space, then a patterned accent chair may be just what you need to add some color to the room. Just follow your instincts, and choose a color that's in contrast with the walls and surroundings.
When it comes to texture, if you have a leather sofa, look for an accent chair that is more feminine and soft to touch. If you want something stylish and comfortable, then woven textiles may be right for you.
Avoid anything with suede or velvet if you have kids or pets around, which is not durable enough for your kids' and pet's antics. Natural or synthetic leather is a more durable option, especially for everyday use.
Don't forget to fix, and decide on a spot you plan to keep the chair. There's no point in spending so much time and money selecting an accent chair only to eventually realize it doesn't fit into your available space. It may take up too much or too little of your room space, or you may even find it difficult taking the chair into the room!
Remember, the main idea of the chair is to make your room more inviting and comfortable, and not look cluttered. You can choose a comfortable, reclining chair for low-traffic areas or keep one near the window with a small table and lamp for your reading corner.
Don't forget to ensure there's a smooth flow of traffic around the chair. It should not end up an obstruction or a disturbance. If you plan to place the chair in the recreation or living areas, then look for something comfortable and durable enough to withstand everyday use.
However, you can afford to look for something more stylish like an antique or hand-crafted chair if it'll be placed in bedrooms or hallways. If the chairs will serve as extra standby chairs, then look for something firm and sturdy, measuring 16-18 inches high.
It's not always that you will want a single accent chair. If it's the main purpose is for seating while entertaining guests in the room, then you'll need to have more than one chair.
If there's enough space, you can opt to have a maximum of four chairs. Then again, if it's to be your private reading nook, then you obviously need only one chair.

How I Failed In 3 Businesses Before Striking Gold In Real Estate – LandWey CEO, Olawale Ayilara reveals
Olawale Ayilara is Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LandWey Investment Limited, one of Nigeria's fastest growing real estate firms.
A graduate of Petroleum and Petrochemical Sciences from the Tai Solarin University of Education, Olawale did all sorts of businesses before venturing into real estate where he made it really big. He shares his touching story in this interview with his company's official magazine. Enjoy!
LandWey Investment Limited recently signed one of Nollywood's biggest actresses, Omoni Oboli, as its brand ambassador. That goes to show the viability of the company. The company in it last session boasted of a over 8 billion naira turnover. He revealed this and many other things about his life in his annual LandWey Magazine Investment Limited. Read on.
Has real estate always been in the picture for you?
I have always loved and craved to do business. I have never been one to shy away from a business transaction. Real estate wasn't always in the picture, but having failed at so many other businesses, it didn't matter to me that I would need a huge amount of money to start and thrive in real estate. I prepared for it and thank God it worked.
Before all these, at some points, I sold Ofada Rice at The Experience Concert and Drinks at other times in other places. From there, I tried printing, business consulting and several other businesses, but all of them had one thing in common … They all failed and left me in more debt than I was when I started. I got tired and proposed to relocate out of Nigeria and never return.
I was in South Africa at a time and for a whole month I started and kept on researching about what I wanted to do. That was when real estate happened. On returning to Nigeria, the first person I told about my dream to start a real estate business said I had failed in so many businesses before, so I would be doing myself a lot of good if I start with a 9 to 5 job instead.
I almost gave up on the real estate dream before it started; I had gone with a couple of friends to Abeokuta to purchase a piece of land and it wasn't a rewarding experience at all. Despite all these challenges I saw a solution instead of a problem. So I returned and commenced my research all over again. I started talking to people and finally, I decided to start LandWey, majorly to fill the void that I'd noticed was present in the real estate business. Ultimately though, it is God who has allowed LandWey to record such success in such a short time.
This year alone, we have acquired 6 estates and they run into a huge amount of money. Our culture as a company is to approach every business deal with the best possible service and then channel the profit from it into enriching the next transaction.
Tell us about your dream, how you got here and the journey so far?
I just found myself here (laughs). Really, it is a long story, but having worked with several real estate companies in the past, providing Digital Marketing Services for them, and from doing extensive studies about real estate companies and their practices particularly, I observed that there was a large vaccum to be filled in the industry.
So I set out searching for means and strategies to do the job better, employing SWOT analysis and a lot of research, and it finally paid off. On one particular occasion when I consulted for a real estate business handling the firm's Digital Marketing also, its sale went up to about N85 million in one month, which was a landmark when compared to what it had earned all the years it had been in existence. So, I thought, "if I could do this for someone else, then I should be able to do same for myself", and that was how I started.
Why the name LandWey, what does the name (brand) represent?
When I decided to start the company, I wanted something that would depict what we did from just the name. I needed something that suggested we know the source or way in. real estate, properties; and related issues. So when LandWey came, we naturally went for it. Our brand represents excellence, innovation, dedication to work and unrivalled customer service. We intend to be the ideal 21st century real estate investment company for all and sundry.
You are fondly called the LandWey Eagle, why?
I repeatedly read a book when I was about 17 years old entitled: Soaring Eagle. It influenced the name of my first business Eagle's Insight and Innovations, which is still in existence. Over time, the term Eagle just stuck with me. Beside, I absolutely like the attributes of an Eagle. It is in a league of its own and that fascinates me.
What is your candid impression about real estate in Nigeria today?
Honestly, we are yet to scratch the surface. I think the government and a couple of other concerened parties have a long way to go in this regard. If you are priviledged to view Lagos from a bird's eye you would see the beauty of the city, but you will also notice that the structures are not particularly organised. It might look good on paper, but that is not how it is constructed in a lot of places.
Therefore, much is needed to be done in this regard with special attention to even the thiniest details in structure, planning and design for real estate.Exchange your Bitcoins & Perfect Money to Naira - Get Paid Automatically in 10 Seconds!

Photojournalism practice photoessay, and History & Theory Critical essay submitted, to much relief. I've seen some of my fellow students work and the standard is very high.
Editing from 545 photos down to 25 was not easy, specially when the photos are so personal – family photos. So, I have included a selection of the ones, that for whatever reason, did not make into the final 25.
Now looking forward to the next phase, and working on some long term projects.

text: Job continued, Just look at the world! Look at it! Prove to me that the wicked are punished! I can give you 60 examples otherwise. Look at the rich who embezzle and cheat, who destroy the health and life of the poor, if it lines their own pockets. Are they punished? Look at the poor, who try to live good, humble lives. Are they rewarded? Do they even have enough food? Decent clothes? Murderers go free. Cheaters flaunt their mistresses. No vengeance from God comes! They die of old age in the arms of their loved ones and their crimes are forgotten!

Unless you've been living under a rock the past few days, you are aware of something known as "elevatorgate". Since clearly every last human being on the planet has posted their comments on this issue, I have been seeing many, many comments from men asking [if I may paraphrase] "Well am I now not allowed to do this or that?" or other expressions implying they are now afraid of what is ok to say or do. I feel for these poor souls & would like to help if I can. I know it's not a clear-cut issue and can be very puzzling.
So I decided to ask some of my skeptic male friends if they had any questions they would like to ask me as a woman about what's cool & what's not. So yes these are actual questions from actual men I know personally. Please don't judge, I give them full credit for having the guts to ask what they might get chewed out for elsewhere.
Now, I'm not saying I'm any kind of feminist ambassador or anything. I'm just giving answers from my own personal perspective. I hope they are at least somewhat helpful..even with a lil dash of my signature snark. 😉
Remember, men, we don't hate you.
(Oh, also remember, I speak frankly here. Very frankly. Be prepared. That's all I can say.)
When and where is it appropriate to pursue women romantically?
In a bank line. On Tuesdays. But only on Tuesdays. Between 7:30am and 10:15am. Happy dating.
Ok, seriously you can't possibly expect a clear-cut answer on this, dear, I'm sorry. That's just the nature of the human mating dance. It's not our fault. Blame the millions of years of hominid evolution.
I will say this, stop searching for tactics that will work. It's not about tactics. Forget tactics. You're not at war. It's much worse…you're trying to date. Women will be confusing to you always (for reasons why, see above), yet billions have somehow managed to mate..go figure. For me personally, nothing turns me off faster than a man who is blatantly obvious in his contrived spiel to woo me. Are you trying to get a woman to like you, any woman? Or are you trying to get me to like you? I'd like to feel there's something special about me that sets me apart from other women that you genuinely feel compatible with.
So again I'm sorry to break it to you but the art of the romantic pursuit is a nuanced process so complex and arbitrary it can't possibly be explained in words. I'm going with the fortune cookie answer – Let your conscience be your guide in all things. It's true, people.
If single women aren't looking for potential mates, what the hell are they doing at functions with like-minded people? Merely to expand their circle of friends?
Ok let's start with off with why that anger isn't going to help you in your romantics pursuits. Um, yes anger & resentment..not a good way to start things off…doesn't get any woman's panties wet I'll tell you that.
And to answer your question, YES. You see, women don't think about sex all the time or at least not nearly as much as men do. We are not hyper aware of potential sex partners all around us. Think of yourself at a baseball game. You're focused on the game not what the dudes are wearing, I'm assuming. Well pretend any social event for a woman is a baseball game and the presence of potential sex partners as important as what those sexy steroid juice-head hunks are wearing like you give a shit, right?
I know it would be much easier if we just walked by you and sprayed our scent on your crotch and show you our engorged labias to indicate we are ready to mate but that's never going to happen.
When a woman is interested in you, you'll usually know it. And if you can't tell, she's either not into you or she's perhaps one of those women that loves to play games in which case you don't want that dummy anyway…we hate those bitches too. Don't encourage them.
Can I look at your chest if you're wearing a low-cut top?
This may surprise some but yes. I think I'd be a hypocrite if I said no. Just please be discreet about it. Don't stare. Get a sense & look away, agreed? Can we make that the social contract?
It rarely happens but sometimes a dude is so obvious I want to whip out a ruler and politely ask, "I'm sorry, would you mind if I just measure your penis real quick? I just want to see what you've got packing."
Can I speak to you on an elevator?
No. I would think that would be clear at this point. You may never ride an elevator with me. Men must forever take the stairs henceforth. I'm sorry but that's how feminism works.
7/10/2011 Additions…
Is it ok to hit on a woman while she is at her job( think of jobs like retail, in the service industry, etc.)?
I would say no in most cases. It's putting a woman in a position where she has no choice but to talk to you. How would you possibly know if she likes you if she's paid to have to serve you. Well…you know what I mean. If you're really interested in a girl and she's at her job, politely wait until her shift ends and then follow her to her car later to ask for her number. And when the blinding sting of mace wears off, realize that I was being sarcastic.
But if you think you've found the love of your life and you just can't let this one go without trying to make a connection, ok fine. Who am I to step in the way of true love? Just remember what I like to call the four "F"s –
1. be friendly
2. be fast
3. be self-effacing
4. get the fuck out of there
If a woman is friendly with me, does that mean she is interested a relationship?
No. No. And no. You are in creepy guy territory. Beware.
Guys get this wrong ALL the time. You have to stop this way of thinking right now. Women will be friendly and smile and show what you in your horny primate brain think is romantic interest, but she is just being polite. That is how women are. We are – surprise – wired differently! Vive la différence, right? Well that means you have to take the good with the confusing. Women evolved to use both sides of our brain simultaneously, that's going to make us a little more complicated than "You man, me woman, we go to bed."
Look, let's be brutally honest here. We have within the skeptics community a slightly higher percentage of socially awkward people. Many are clearly on the autism spectrum. Well, some of you may have to face the cold brutal fact that you may not be ready for dating. If you can't pick up on the subtleties – which, really are the an essential part of human relationships – you are not going to be successful in any romantic endeavor. If you think you may be completely lost because of your social difficulties, you may not wish to look to women necessarily first for pointers, but to men who do have an easy time with women and seem to "get it". I think these men could help by taking on a greater role in helping those who are struggling to get it.
By the way if you're a dude who is intensely frustrated & angry about women, obey what nature has been trying to tell you in the first place and kindly remove yourself from propagating the gene pool.
More Q&A will be posted as the questions come in. I'm still waiting to hear back from some of my male friends. Feel free to ask a question in the comments section.
