Town clerks in Portola Valley and Woodside swore in new and returning officials this week.
In Portola Valley, Jeff Aalfs joined and Ann Wengert rejoined the Town Council on Wednesday, Dec. 14. as Councilman Steve Toben departed after two four-year terms. The council saved about $10,000 -- the cost of an election -- by appointing Mr. Aalfs and Ms. Wengert since they were the only two candidates in an election of two open seats.
The mayor until December 2012 is Maryann Moise Derwin, who was elected by unanimous vote after the swearing-in ceremony, with Councilman John Richards elected as vice mayor.
In Woodside, which did hold an election, the new member of the council is Tom Shanahan, who represents District 3 and who was sworn in Tuesday, Dec. 13, along with returning councilmen Dave Burow, Peter Mason and Ron Romines.
The council then unanimously elected Councilman Dave Tanner as mayor and Councilwoman Anne Kasten as mayor pro tempore.
Councilwoman Sue Boynton left the Woodside chambers with bouquets and proclamations in hand after three terms on the council. Ms. Boynton, an equestrian and advocate for equestrians in the community, received as a parting gift a decorative metal silhouette of a horse's head for her wall.
Mr. Toben, whose passions include environmental activism, was given a self-sustaining ecosystem sealed in a 6 1/2-diameter glass sphere. The sphere contains sea water, microorganisms and vegetation in a combination that balances the carbon dioxide and oxygen inside, according to the website Eco-sphere.com.
Mr. Aalfs is not inexperienced in town government, having been appointed by the council to the Architectural & Site Control Commission (ASCC) in December 2008. He is self-employed as a residential energy consultant, helping homeowners and home designers comply with government energy codes and improve efficiency in new and existing homes.
Mr. Aalfs has a bachelor's degree in molecular biology from the University of California at Los Angeles and a doctorate in genetics from Harvard University. He did post-doctoral work at the medical school at Tufts University and also worked in the pharmaceutical industry.
Mr. Shanahan is the head of West Coast investment banking at Needham Asset Management, LLC, on Sand Hill Road and is a general partner. He was a chief financial officer at several Silicon Valley firms and a co-founder of Agile Software Corp.
Mr. Shanahan's degrees are from Stanford University and the Harvard University business school, where he was a Baker Scholar. He also served as an officer in the First Infantry Division in Vietnam, according to his bio.

Yes, yes, of course we miss the dear hearts when they are away at summer camp. And, yes, naturally we fret over their letters (or lack thereof) and meet the stereotype of the enmeshed parent as we sort through photos on the Web site every night.
But admit it. Aren't you rather enjoying yourself?
Petula Dvorak is. In her Washington Post column this week she writes about how freeing and fun it is to have your children disappear for weeks to months in the summer:
Wasn't it just a couple of years ago that the big parenting story was about "helicopter parents," the kind who hovered over their children 24-7? Overprotective control freaks who — if they could bear to send their mini-me away to camp — insisted that Web cams be installed in every cabin and on every pine tree, so they could remotely monitor little Emily's lanyard making?
Not Dvorak. Her two children spent a week at "Camp Grandma" this summer, and "We're planning movie nights, dinner dates and get-togethers with our childless friends, all deliciously within
reach and without the tick-tock of the baby-sitter time clock." Staying awake past 10 at night! Sleeping past 6 in the morning! Even staying late at work or cleaning the closets without interruption feels
like freedom.
My teenager spent three weeks away last month, and came back in the re-entry funk that I charitably interpret to mean he had a great time. He thinks the readjustment is his — getting used to house rules and an absence of omnipresent friends and a lack of constant activity. What he hasn't figured out is that I'm adjusting too. Once again there are meals to make and after-movie pickups to handle and more laundry to do and one more schedule to sync with my own.
So go ahead and miss your kids. Part of the point of the separation is to remember that you miss them.
But don't forget to schedule one last night out. Because soon they are all coming home.

Article "Westhampton's YWCA Is Involved"
Alumni Bulletin
The Winter 1971 Alumni Bulletin features an image and accompanying profile of Irene Ebhomielen of Nigeria. Ebhomielen was an international student on the University of Richmond campus, attending the University partly because of the financial assistance of the Westhampton College YWCA. Ebhomielen was the 15th student to come to the United States and Westhampton in the YWCA program's 20-year history. The article mentions Ebhomielen's plans to receive a bachelor of arts degree and then continuing to study for a master's degree. The YWCA was led by Jean Mahaffey, who stated that "The Westhampton students are very enthusiastic and energetic about being involved in community action projects." Mahaffry also said, "The Westhampton women have a tremendous amount of insight and understanding into the human situation. They are looking for outlets through which to use their concern for humanity."

[Minor revision–posted 2/15/19 (replaces 11/11/16 edition)]
[PDF Version]
Operating Policy and Procedure
OP 70.42: Holidays
DATE: February 15, 2019
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Operating Policy/Procedure (OP) is to define the university's policy for administering holiday leave for staff employees and faculty employees in compliance with state statutes.
REVIEW: This OP will be reviewed in March of odd-numbered years by the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources and the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity with substantive revisions forwarded to the Chief of Staff for the President.
1. Definitions
a. Regular Employee: A person who is employed to work at least 20 hours per week for a period of at least four and one-half months and is not employed in a position that requires student status as a condition of employment.
b. Workday: A day on which an employee is normally scheduled to work. The term does not include a national or state holiday.
2. General
The State of Texas determines the number of national and state holidays that can be observed each year by all state agencies. The state legislature stipulates only holidays that fall on a weekday may be observed. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, that day cannot be observed on a different day such as the previous Friday or following Monday.
Institutions of higher education are allowed flexibility when establishing their own holiday schedules as long as the total number of holidays observed does not exceed the number of holidays other state agencies observe. While the number of holidays observed is always the same, Texas Tech University may have a different holiday schedule than the other Texas Tech University System component institutions or other state agencies.
The holiday schedule for each Texas Tech University System (TTUS) entity is established by the TTUS Board of Regents each fiscal year.
3. Eligibility
Regular employees are eligible for paid holidays as provided herein:
a. Regular non-exempt employees who are required to work on an official holiday will be paid for the hours worked and will be paid holiday pay at their regular rate of pay.
A regular non-exempt employee is entitled to the same holidays with pay as an exempt employee. An employee working an irregular schedule during a workweek in which a holiday occurs is entitled to the same number of holiday hours as an employee working the schedule that is normal for most university employees. A regular part-time employee is entitled to holiday hours on a pro rata basis, based upon the percent of time worked.
b. A new employee who begins working for Texas Tech University (TTU) on the first workday of a month is entitled to be paid for an official university holiday that occurs before the first workday if the holiday occurs during the month of hire and does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
c. An employee who stops working for TTU on the last workday of a month is entitled to be paid for an official university holiday that occurs after the last workday if the holiday occurs during the month of termination and does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
d. If a state or national holiday occurs between the dates an employee terminates from TTU and begins employment with another state agency or an institution of higher education without a break in service, the agency or institution of higher education to which the employee transfers is responsible for paying the employee for the holiday, regardless of whether the agency or institution of higher education that receives the new employee recognizes the holiday.
e. When an official university holiday occurs during an employee's approved leave with pay, it shall not be charged against the employee's accrued leave. Official university holidays occurring during an employee's approved leave without pay will not be paid and will not interrupt the leave without pay status.
f. An employee is entitled to be paid for an official university holiday that falls mid-month, provided the employee is in a paid status (work or paid leave) for any portion of both the workday before and the workday after the holiday.
g. An employee is entitled to be paid for an official university holiday that falls on the first workday of a month, provided the employee is in a paid status (work or paid leave) for any portion of the first workday after the holiday.
h. An employee is entitled to be paid for an official university holiday that falls on the last workday of a month, provided the employee is in a paid status (work or paid leave) for any portion of the last workday before the holiday.
i. An employee is entitled to observe Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Cesar Chavez Day, and/or Good Friday as optional holidays, provided the holidays do not fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Any work time missed must be made up, charged to accrued vacation leave, or taken as leave without pay.
j. An individual must be an employee on the workday before and after an official university holiday in order to be paid for that holiday, unless the holiday falls on the employee's first or last workday of the month.
4. Approvals
Each administrative officer is responsible for the review and approval of the time and leave reported each pay period and for the approval for payment of any holiday hours to be paid.
5. Authoritative Reference
Texas Government Code, Chapter 662, Subchapter A, Sections 662.001, 662.003, 662.006, 662.007, 662.0072, 662.010, 662.011, and 662.013.
6. Right to Change Policy
Texas Tech University reserves the right to interpret, amend, or rescind this policy, in whole or in part, at any time without the consent of employees.

I used to know my purpose,
The work I would do
As teacher and healer;
To help people through
The hard times and seasons;
Finding new ways
To understand life
And build brighter days.
My identity seemed sure;
My position strong
As person and woman
Who sings her own song.
Learning and growing;
Stronger each year;
Filled with confidence;
Conquering her fear.
But everything I once knew,
The dreams that I held
Have shattered to pieces
And to the ground fell.
I'm actually okay with that:
I am at rest,
Because I'm left with
The knowledge that's best.
All that I know is Jesus;
I trust Him alone.
It is Him I treasure;
He's the only One
Who truly counts at all;
Savior and Lord;
Lover of my soul;
Jesus, Living Word.

Fashion,mens Fashion can be tough to get a handle on. It's sometimes very overwhelming. Use the resources available to learn what you can about fashion,mens fashion. Think through the advice here to help you with the fashion,mens fashion in your everyday life.
A belt makes for a simple male fashion boost. You can find belts in many different designs and colors, so you can pick the belt that best suits you. Choose something bright to go with some skinny jeans, or tone it down and go with a more sophisticated look by wearing a black belt.
It's natural to focus on a nice purse to complete your look, but be sure that it coordinates with any other bags your are carrying. For instance, if you have to carry a purse and briefcase together, they should match each other. You should only ever have a maximum of two bags on you at the same time.
Keep up with the latest styles. Change is constant when it comes to style, and magazines are a great way to follow this. They are most often the source for new trends.
When choosing accessories for your hair, you have loads of options. There's a world of accessories to suit any tastes; the most popular ones are bows, headbands, ponytail holders and even extensions or feathers. It's a good idea to have a variety of these items to complement your wardrobe. For instance, for an athletic look, wear a sweatsuit and a matching headband. When going out, pick a headband that goes with your outfit.
Do not feel like you have to be perfect in terms of male fashion. To begin with, nobody in the world is perfect. Next, you will appear to be pushing too hard when you attempt to be perfect. Kat Moss sets a fine example of how to pull together a fashion,mens fashion look with a casual messy hair style or a button left undone.
If you're overweight, don't wear horizontal stripes. This type of pattern emphasizes width of your frame, so it makes you seem even bigger. Instead, wear clothing with vertical patterns, which will draw attention to height rather than girth.
Fashion,mens Fashion is subjective; there is no wrong or right. You just have to find what you enjoy and are capable of being comfortable in. Every different look can be exciting and trendy, and you just have to figure out what's best for you. Keep these tips in mind to help you have a lot more in the way of male fashion.

Constituent Corner Success Stories
Although much attention is paid to the policy discussions in Washington, helping the people of Southern Arizona through constituent services is truly the heartbeat of my office. In 2018, the Congressional Management Foundation recognized my office as having the best constituent services in the House of Representatives, and we build upon this legacy each day by serving the people of Southern Arizona in the best way that we can.
Below are just a few of the many constituent success we've had over the years in cases as varied as immigration, health care, veterans issues, housing, and more. When noted, names have been changed for privacy:
Larry* contacted my office for assistance in obtaining both military service records and medical records from the VA. NPRC and the Phoenix VA Health Care System were both contacted and asked to provide all records for constituent. He has since used the records to obtain medical care and benefits from the VA.
Don* was seeking assistance to retain the status of his background investigation for security clearance with Raytheon. Upon contacting the Office of Personnel Management, they were able to complete the investigation and forward it to the Consolidated Adjudications Facility. Soon after, he was contacted by his employer stating that clearance was granted.
Jeff* came to my office with concerns about his student loan debt. He is permanently disabled and sought options on loan repayment or loan discharge. My office contacted the Department of Education, who provided him with the information he needs to discharge his debt, due to his disabled status and inability to work.
Brad* contacted my office because he was charged a penalty for early withdrawal of his 401k fund. Because he was a recipient of Social Security disability benefits, he was eligible to have these penalties waived. My office contacted the IRS, who waived the penalty. The remainder of his tax liability was placed in non-collectable status, saving him $3,250.00.
Paula* had a pending foreclosure sale date after a modification review had been denied due to incomplete documentation. My office contacted the bank and received a postponement of 60 days to allow the constituent time to re-submit documents for review, effectively saving her home.
Maria* contacted my office after the Veterans Benefits Administration erroneously recorded that her father never completed his military service jeopardizing the GI bill benefits she was eligible for as a dependent-leaving her on the hook for $50,163.60 at the University of Arizona. After intervening in her case, father's separation code was corrected by the United States Air Force resulting in the reinstatement of GI benefits and erasing the debt recorded.
Paul* contacted my office after his SSA "Extra Help" was cancelled and his monthly co-pay for critical HIV medication increased to $500. After calling SSA, our caseworkers detected an error with IRS that resulted in the cancellation of his "Extra Help." We worked with SSA to remedy the situation, and his "Extra Help" was reinstated while his appeal petition is pending. Now, he can afford the life-saving HIV medication he needs.
Jennifer* contacted my office after submitting her DACA application and an unexpected delay put her work permit and current job in jeopardy. We worked with US Citizenship & Immigration Services to resolve the issue and Jennifer received her work permit within a few days—allowing her to keep her job, seniority, and benefits.
Jose* contacted my office interested in naturalization. After assisting with a review of his completed N-400 (application) and I-912(fee waiver) form, his naturalization was accepted, application was approved, and his oath ceremony was scheduled. The total process saved him $875.00 in fees.
Mr. S* had a check mailed to him by the Social Security Administration, but the check was sent to the wrong address. He contacted my office after repeated unsuccessful attempts to get SSA to mail him a new check. After my office contacted SSA, they released the money owed to Mr. G, allowing him to recoup the $947.00.
Oralia Nunez of Phoenix was murdered and her parents were denied humanitarian parole to enter the United States and retrieve her remains. After my office intervened, the Port of Entry reviewed the request and granted humanitarian parole to the grieving parents.
Bill de La Rosa contacted my office after his mother was denied humanitarian parole to visit his ailing father in Tucson. After submitting a letter to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and reaching out to the local Office of Field Operations, the request was reconsidered and Mrs. De La Rosa was granted humanitarian parole for 30-day entry into the United States.
Custodio Macias was 97 years old and had lived in the United States for 36 years and had recently applied for naturalization. At the request of my office, USCIS expedited his application and agreed to hold the interview and the oath ceremony in his home.

Anne and Zef Opera
General info on the Opera Anne and Zef
Anne & Zef is a family opera, suitable for ages 12 and over, by Dutch composer Monique Krüs, and is inspired by the Diary of Anne Frank. It is based upon the play by the same name by Ad de Bont. The opera was a Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra/Netherlands Chamber Orchestra commission.
The 45 minutes opera tells the story of Anne Frank who "meets" Albanian teenager Zef in the after life. They tell their life stories and develop a special bond. Anne wanted to be a writer and died in a German concentration camp; Zef wanted to be an actor and was murdered by his best friend in the blood revenge (Kanun) in Albania.
The two teenagers, of very different generations and cultural backgrounds, share their dreams and their pains, but also have a sweet flirtation. It is a truly moving and relevant piece of musical theatre.
The beautiful staging is by Opera Spanga artistic director Corina van Eijk, who also worked on the libretto with Ad de Bont and Monique Krüs. The production is by Opera Spanga.
The set consists of only two bunk beds with a video screen for special animations. The bunk beds also become the prison cells of Anne and the home of Zef.
The opera was written for young people (12+) but equally appeals to adults. It has made a deep impact on audiences and critics alike.
The timeless story of Anne Frank is combined with a contemporary story and is, apart from two quotes from Anne Frank's dairy, based on a completely original script.
It has two singers and a small orchestra of ten players.
We present the opera with an introduction and a post performance Q&A, as we have found that audiences have a strong need to discuss the opera after seeing it.
You can find information on the composer at www.moniquekrus.nl
and more on Anne&Zef on: www.moniquekrus.nl/anne-en-zef-youth-opera.html
Since its world premiere back in April 2015, the opera has been revived every year, with as special series of performances in March 2017 in the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam.
The first international performances also took place in March 2017, when the opera was performed in Rome, in a new production in Italian , in association with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia where is was repeated in 2018.
Theater Bielefeld gave the German premiere in the spring of 2018. The opera was also selected to be performed in Beijing in May 2018 during the ISCM (International Society for Contemporary Music) World New Music Days.
Currently, festivals in Budapest, London and other theatres in Germany are interested in presenting Anne&Zef, with talks also started for performances in Japan, Spain and the USA.
'Moving and engaging music (…) Anne's theme played by the viola is especially poignant.'

I know, every detail gets more bizarre. At the rate this is going, they may need Monty Hall to help both side to make a deal.
To be honest, I'm even confused about some of the names. Is this other bozo called Gebert or Gelbert or Poopbrain or what?? And why isn't Ilse over at the wide-load hosing Fat Boy down with cold water. Even a nutcase like her must realize that Lardo has totally popped a rod.First, we need to ignore most of Fat Boy's warped ravings. He is barking for another lawsuit and acts as if he will try an insanity plea this time.
But the main points are pretty simple.
1. Nobody in their right mind should ever get into the middle of somebody else's legal fight. There is no win for the outsider.
2. He is not functioning in this case as a journalist. He is solely taking one side and taking opinions from one side, largely avoiding any type of factual information while building a convoluted argument based upon assumptions and false conjectures piled up with insults and acts of intimation and online stalking. He also doesn't seem to understand that a journalist (I mean real journalists) are NOT protected against suits for libel. Heck, journalists are sued for libel all the time.
3. Copyright/Trademark disputes are tricky cases best handled in relative private. That gives bothparties a chance to chill out and make a possible arrangement which is preferable to a full blown court case that could go on for years. LardButt has, most likely, screwed that possibility to the wall. His pal Gilbert may not understand this, but that is a very bad thing in such a case.
4. LardButt's defense of Gelbert's claim is, at best, thin. It seems primarily based upon the idea that this guy and a dead blogger had a private chat about it. Big deal. Unless Gelbert has support evidence, this is mere hearsay and is worthless in court.
5. Then Lardo screws Gelbert more by admitting that Gelbert and O'Donnell were in discussion concerning this idea. So in other words, the most verifiable start of this project is in the discussions between the plaintiff and the defendant. It is going to be he said/she said. Fat Boy doesn't seem to get it, but he just set Gelbert up for a very nasty case.
6. Just as Fats is not a journalist, he is also not a lawyer. He did not win anything in the last lawsuit and simply lucked out because Parisi's attorney didn't think to produce evidence to back up the financial damage claim (and personally I think Parisi should sue his lawyer for being an idiot). Likewise, he has no clue to issues of libel, harassment, copyright or anything else in this situation. Part of the reason why his postings have become so screamingly incoherent is because he is talking total nonsense and the more he talks crap, the more his words twist and turns, slowly, slowly in the wind (my respects to John Ehrlichman who after serving time for Watergate became a pretty interesting OK guy doing legal work for American Indians – BTW, Ehrilchman did know the law even while breaking it for Nixon).
7. It is indeed possible that he is heading for another lawsuit. The main question is when, by whom, and on what grounds. He is working hard on several fronts for no good reason except that he is a deranged jackass who has been sniffin' way too much of his own ink.
So I must agree with Gilligan. It is time to load up on the popcorn and butter and watch the show.
In view with the latest garbage/ post Sinclair SNOOZE! To view the post, it will remain here on our site. The POS has added a photo of Rachel in his post. He is looking to torment the woman further.

Dennis adds: Oh wee!!!! Another long winded and only half coherent posting about a bunch of issues that he has come out swinging on for no rational reason whatsoever (unless this Gebert guy is going down on him or something). What does this tell us?
A. Life around the trailer park is pretty dull at the moment, so he has to juice things up.
B. Life on his PayPal account is mighty dull at the moment, so he has to juice things up.
C. His ability to "connect" isn't working out too well (i.e. his recent disinvite from FRC), so he has to juice things up.
D. He really just loves to juice it up. What a guy, old fatso. Maybe he can get another suit going before the release of the new book. Hey, when is that book due? Oh yeah…there has been some technical "issues"?

* From wave form pictures: nothing looks really special apart from low-denominator rational numbers. * From analysis: it's clear why for low-denominator rational numbers there is no low-frequency content, and why there is some LF content for high-denominator rational numbers, but not (yet) clear that this follows the frequency slope from linear analysis (== inverse of integrator == high pass noise). * The non-leaky 1st order accumulator is really a value -> frequency converter. It has non-vanishing autocorrelation. From this another suggestion for decorrelation can be suggested: integrator state increments/decrements with average 0.

Letters to the Editor
Garofalo's won't stay closed for long
I want to extend my sincere thanks to all customers of Garofalo's during its 114-year history.
I, too, was taken aback by its closing. I'm the half-owner of the business left to my brother and I upon my Father's death. It was poor business decisions by past management that caused Garofalo's to close.
Rest assured that Garofalo's will be reopened by myself, the Third Generation, in the near future. And all will be welcomed with a smile.
Mary Jo Garofalo Venditti
Provide updates on city's development
My wife and I regularly check out the exciting new construction in Schenectady's downtown.
We load our dog Ace into the car (because he also enjoys viewing the city's progress and, of course, a McDonald's cheeseburger with ketchup).
All in all, it takes us about 10 minutes to make our rounds.
During our little treks, we often wonder how all of these projects are progressing — the occupancy of the new residential/commercial Mohawk Commons, the expected occupancy date of the new Mohawk Commons Townhomes, the expected start date of the old Grossman's overhaul, the new rail station expected ETA, etc.
With all of the outstanding and significant projects and improvements being undertaken in Schenectady, may I suggest the city's administration proactively develop and publish, in The Daily Gazette, a monthly progress report on all current projects and initiatives, as well as those approved and planned but not yet started.
This will keep those of us interested in the rebuilding of Schenectady updated while filling the news pipeline with positive Schenectady news. Further, may I suggest Mayor Gary McCarthy publish, in The Daily Gazette, a quarterly State of the City providing budget, strategic, operational and tactical action plan updates, as well as any other pertinent information or announcements.
I believe there are many Schenectadians who, like us, are rooting for Schenectady, Mayor McCarthy and his administration.
I further believe these reporting initiatives will surface a legion of latent Schenectady rooters and will help build a more positive image of Schenectady.
Dave Heckler
Plenty can be done to end poverty cycle
The Oct.2 article, "Poor Schenectady children grow into poor adults," indicates individuals and families earning low incomes have difficulty living in Schenectady, as well as Albany and Troy.
Mayor Gary McCarthy's comment on expanding deployment of internet/high-tech light poles to neighborhoods such as Hamilton Hill is interesting.
The possible deployment to those neighborhoods and city school district's community learning centers is definitely a step to close the educational gap.
Kristin Diotte, Schenectady director of planning, zoning and community development, commented that "new city programs aim to connect residents to job training and other ways of strengthening the city's overall workforce and pairing people with jobs."
Expanded cooperation among the city, school district and SUNY Schenectady (Schenectady County Community College) to apply to the National Science Foundation for grant money through the Advanced Technical Education program additional skill development will be available.
"The program involves partnerships between academic institutions (grades 7-12, IHEs) and industry to promote improvement in the education of science and engineering technicians at the undergraduate and secondary institution school levels.
The ATE program supports curriculum development; professional development of college faculty and secondary school teachers; career pathways; and other activities."
Expanded employment opportunities for skilled workers and entrepreneurs as instructors, teacher assistants and mentors could be funded by application, before March 2019, to the state Labor Department's Apprenticeship Expansion Grant.
Improved career and technical education can be accomplished for those living in poverty.
I hope more will be done.
Michael McGlynn

Youth, as the country's future, should seek to accelerate society's transformation by debating its development challenges to devise solutions, Youth MP Justine Mukobwa has said.
The call was made during an event dubbed 'Meet Your Member of Parliament' (MYMP) in Kibilizi Sector in Nyamagabe District, last week.
The event ran under a theme, 'youth participation in governance and development in Rwanda: rights and opportunities.
It aims at bringing parliamentarians to meet the youth and discuss challenges and issues affecting the youth and national development.
The event was organised by Never Again Rwanda (NAR) in five districts of the country, including Nyamagabe, Huye, and Gisagara from the Southern Province, as well as Ngororero and Nyabihu from the Western Province.
Eric Mahoro, the programme director at Never Again Rwanda, said the debates about social development issues teach citizens to seek ways to address challenges such as poverty.
Alexis Nsengimana, one of the residents in Nyamagabe District, said that, 'Meet your Member of Parliament' helps awaken youth to their own development challenges.
"It teaches the youth to confidently express their development challenges and seek solutions within," Nsengimana said.

International science team fills in critical gap in Central and East Europe's climate record back 10,500 years ago
Scărișoara Ice Cave is one of the most important scientific sites in Europe with its towering ice formations and underground glaciers (Photo courtesy of Gigi Fratila & Claudiu Szabó).
TAMPA, Fla. – Ice cores drilled from a glacier in a Romanian cave are providing new scientific evidence of how Europe's winter weather and climate patterns fluctuated during the last 10,000 years, providing new insights for understanding today's current climate changes. The research is published today in the journal Scientific Reports.
USF Professor Bogdan Onac and former USF PhD student Aurel Perșoiu, working with an international team of scientists in western Romania's Scărișoara Ice Cave, harvested cores of ancient ice to reconstruct winter climate conditions during the Holocene period. The Holocene is important to climate scientists because it was a period of warming following the last glacial period. Until now, there was a lack of long-term reconstructions of winter climatic conditions and that has hampered a full understanding of past climate dynamics, Onac said.
Researchers from the Emil Racoviță Institute of Speleology in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and USF's School of Geosciences gathered their evidence in what is known as the world's oldest cave glacier hidden deep in the heart of Transylvania. The project, funded by the National Science Foundation and the Romanian Ministry of Education, also involved researchers from University of Belfast, University of Bremen, and Stockholm University.
"Most of the paleoclimate records from this region are plant-based, and track only the warm part of the year — the growing season," says Candace Major, program director in NSF's Directorate for Geosciences, which funded the research. "That misses half the story. The spectacular ice cave at Scarisoara fills a crucial piece of the puzzle of past climate change in recording what happens during winter."
Scărișoara Ice Cave is one of the most important scientific sites in Europe with its towering ice formations. Each year during the last 10,000 years, snow and rain has dripped into the depths of Scărișoara, where it froze into thin layers of ice and held onto chemical evidence of past winter temperature changes and the source of the area's moisture, Perșoiu said.
Located in the Apuseni Mountains, the region receives precipitations from both the Atlantic and Mediterranean sources and is an ideal location to study shifts in the storm tracks across East and Central Europe.

The newly published research produces the first reconstruction of autumn through winter temperature and changes in the source of precipitation in East and Central Europe that drove the regional climate dynamics, Perșoiu said. The radiocarbon ages obtained on minute fragments of leaves and wood preserved in the ice indicate that the ice is at least 10,500 years old, making it one of the oldest glaciers on Earth outside the polar region.
The researchers were able to chart the details of winter temperatures in East and Central Europe reaching a maximum during the mid-Holocene and decreasing thereafter towards the Little Ice Age, 150 years ago. Further, a major shift in the atmospheric dynamics occurred during the mid-Holocene period when winter storm tracks switched and produced wetter and colder conditions in northwestern Europe and the expansion of the Mediterranean-type climate towards southeastern Europe.
The work is a significant advancement of climate science because much of the reconstruction of Earth's past record has relied on summer conditions and charted climate fluctuations through vegetation-based samples such as tree ring width, pollen, and other organisms that thrive in the warmer growing season. Winter was a season absent important data, Onac said.
The isotopic analysis of the ice preserved in the cave showed that, contrary to warm summers, winters were cold 10,000 years ago, making Eastern Europe a place with strong contrasting seasons. The increasing winter temperatures led to rapid environmental changes that allowed northward expansion of Neolithic farmers towards mainland Europe, and the rapid peopling of the continent.
"Our reconstruction provides one of the very few winter climatic reconstructions - filling in numerous gaps in our knowledge of the past climatic variability," Onac said.
The scientists worked in temperatures of -6 Fahrenheit during a February 2003 three-day expedition to the cave (Photo courtesy of A. Persoiu).
Working in temperatures of -15 Fahrenheitduring a three-day expedition to the cave in February 2003, the team harvested 56 cores ranging from 21 to 63 centimeters totaling 22.5 meters down into the ice. The frozen cores were transported to Stockholm University, where they were melted under controlled conditions. Organic matter retained from the cores was radiocarbon dated while the sable isotope analysis was performed at USF's labs in Tampa.
By examining the ice cores – where layers of ice act as a timeline of isotopic changes – the scientists were able to chart how East and Central Europe grew warmer and wetter with Mediterranean cyclones during the autumn and early winter penetrating further northeast into the European continent and leading to a differentiation between the Atlantic Ocean-dominated European climate in West and Northwest Europe.
"Our data allows us to reconstruct the interplay between Atlantic and Mediterranean sources of moisture, which are modulated by phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation," Onac said. "We can also draw conclusions on past atmospheric circulation patterns, with huge implications for future climatic changes. Our research offers a long-term context to better understand these changes."
Researchers are continuing to work in the cave and just two weeks ago finished drilling to a depth of 25 meters and possibly extending the record back some 13,000 years or more, Perșoiu said. The new research is intended to provide information to as far back as the end of the Last Glacial period, he said.
Located in the Apuseni Mountains, this cave is considered to be the world's most investigated ice cave with more than 100 papers and monographs published over the past 90 years (Photo courtesy of Bogdan Onac).

Iran's Revolutionary Guard scorned the video and audio of last Sunday's confrontation with US warships in the Strait of Hormuz as "a clumsy fake." But in a more measured response, the Defense Ministry said the incident was "something normal that takes place every now and then, for each party." In his first public reaction, President Bush said, "it was a provocative act ... and they should not have done it."
If the US is to build part of its proposed missile-defense shield in Poland, it will have to commit to "increasing the security level of our country," Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. Tusk, who won election last October, said he'd drive a harder bargain in negotiations over the system than did his conservative predecessor. "With all due respect," he said, "I feel responsibility for the security of Poles ... and not for the US."
Refugees streamed out of western Kenya Wednesday despite the start of mediation efforts over last month's presidential election. African Union chief John Kufuor met with opposition candidate Ralia Odinga, who claims he was cheated out of victory in the vote and refuses to recognize the legitimacy of incumbent Mwai Kibaki. But Odinga scorned Kibaki's announcement of cabinet ministers, and his supporters in the west clashed with police. Above, residents of a slum in the capital, Nairobi, remove a car destroyed in earlier violence.
Dissident provincial governors in Bolivia reached agreement with leftist President Evo Morales Tuesday to draw up a national unity declaration in hopes of keeping the country from splitting apart. The two sides said they wanted to settle their differences over Morales's reform agenda, in particular the new draft Constitution and sharing revenue from natural gas exports. The dispute led to violent protests late last year and a declaration of autonomy by the dissidents.
Over the protests of hundreds of opposition supporters in the streets outside, Georgia's Central Election Commission Wednesday proclaimed incumbent Mikhail Saakashvili the winner of last weekend's presidential vote. Protest organizers vowed an even larger demonstration in Tbilisi, the capital, on Sunday, raising concerns that it could bring a new confrontation with security forces. Saakashvili's challenger, Levan Gachechiladze, seeks a runoff.
Hundreds of police reinforcements arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, Tuesday as President Felipe Calderón's government sought to stop a new surge in organized crime violence in its tracks. In all, as many as 2,000 reinforcements will be sent to the border city, officials said, in the wake of the abduction and murders of three officers over the New Year's holiday and the attempted assassination of a chief. In Rio Bravo, east of Tijuana, 10 suspects – some of them US citizens – were under arrest (above) after a shootout between drug cartel members and federal agents that killed three more police.
Leaders of the former communist rebel movement in Nepal reacted angrily to reports that Prime Minister G.P. Koirala will refuse to integrate their followers into the Army. Under a deal that brought the communists into government, 31,000 fighters are in holding camps, awaiting integration. Koirala reportedly said he opposes that process because the guerrillas are "politicized." He suggested they be employed in security forces for businesses instead.
In an about-face, zoo officials in Nuremberg, Germany, separated a polar bear cub from its mother and said they'll rear it themselves. The mother has acted strangely in recent days, apparently in reaction to the aggressive actions of a photographer trying to take pictures of her with the infant. Meanwhile, another female has shown signs of rejecting her cubs, and officials originally planned to leave them to die rather than bottle-feeding them. The situation has drawn comparisons to the case of Knut, a cub reared by humans at the Berlin Zoo last year.

Surfboard Drive
Surfing originated in Hawaii. These days, people surf all over the world – wherever there is a wave. Australia has almost 40,000 kilometres of coastline, with many surf beaches. Surfers enjoy the physical benefits of paddling and surfing, being in the fresh air, as well as the overall benefits of surfing. We at Golden State Greens are raising awareness by donating surfboards to our local community youth organizations.
Health benefits of surfing
Surfing provides many health benefits including:
- cardiovascular fitness – from paddling
- shoulder and back strength – these muscles will strengthen from the paddling
- leg and core strength – once you're standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up.
Other benefits of surfing
Surfing provides a range of other benefits. It is:
- a great way to spend time outdoors and enjoy the natural environment
- a good outlet for stress and tension.
Getting started
Surfing is not as easy as it looks. It is worth taking some lessons to give you the basics and hopefully get you up on your feet.
As surfing involves the ocean, you should be a strong swimmer and always be aware of the safety aspects of being in the surf. If you are not sure about a suitable surfing spot, ask the local lifesavers or surfshop.
Having the right equipment is essential to get the best out of the surf. Your board should suit your body and your ability. For example, start with a long board as they are easier to stand up on, paddle and ride. Wear a wetsuit if necessary to keep you in the water long enough to learn.

Fans of once-in-a-lifetime gymnast Simone Biles are over the moon that Biles is on the cover of the August issue of Vogue — but as for the actual photo, not so much.
Several critics on Twitter (including New York Times national picture editor Morrigan McCarthy) took shots at the dimly lit images of Biles inside and out by famous photog Annie Leibovitz — and suggested that Vogue should have used a Black photographer (and hire more Black photographers in general), or at the very least find someone who better understands Black skin tones.
A few were fiercely defensive of Leibovitz, however, describing her as a painterly photographer who usually knows exactly she's doing. The photos illustrate a profile of Biles that includes the dark story of Larry Nassar, the longtime USA Gymnastics doctor now serving a life sentence for the serial sexual abuse of athletes, including Biles. She spoke candidly of the debilitating depression that gripped her as the Nassar story emerged, and her anger that gymnastics officials didn't protect the athletes.
But others following Biles' story in Vogue yearned for photos of her bright, powerful movement — and more flattering photos — that increased awareness at the fashion mag might have delivered.
I adore Simone Biles and am thrilled she's on this cover... but I hate these photos. I hate the toning, I hate how predictable they are, I hate the social crop here (wtf?) and I super hate that Vogue couldn't be bothered to hire a Black photographer. https://t.co/az0gLugdzS— Morrigan McCarthy (@MorriganMcC) July 9, 2020

And Vogue should hire Black photographers.— Madeline McCray (@McCrayMadeline) July 10, 2020
Normally I love Annie Leibovitz....but oh wow, no.— laura_studarus (@Laura_Studarus) July 10, 2020
The lighting mattes her skin down and washes her out. Here is a photo by James Macari that uses natural lighting to let Simone's skin glow and have life to it. pic.twitter.com/0JwSbAvYgH— Lissa/Elisabeth Reed 🏳🌈 (@lissareedbooks) July 11, 2020
That is truly awful lighting. This is Simone, dammit!— Kristin Novotny (@KristinMNovotny) July 10, 2020
Right?! everyone's focusing on lighting (which, yes is terrible) but the STYLING even! They made an athlete who is all about movement, look like cold stone— Linda Linh (@LindaLinh) July 10, 2020
Oh dear. I usually love her, but hire Black photographers that know how to photograph Black people.— Petita Flor (@ciagould) July 11, 2020
While there's a painful history of photography and video technologies not accommodating non-white skin (see "Shirley cards" & Kodak) to assume that that's what's happening here is way off in my view. Leibowitz is an incredible portrait photographer and her choices are intentional— James Robinson (@jamesrobinson50) July 11, 2020

Re: Memories of pets loved and lost...a place to share.Apr 5th, 2019
Yesterday was 5yrs since our friend Shadow left us. Rarely a day goes by that he isn't on my mind or that he doesn't come up in conversation somehow. He touched the lives of so many, and so many got over their lifelong fear of dogs just by being in his company for a few hours experiencing his massive and fearsome presence to learn just how gentle and intelligent a dog can be. Everything about him was just BIG, from his loyalty to the love he shared with us. The big ones burn bright but not for long. I miss him so much even to this day.

Choosing the Right Metal for your Wedding Rings
Planning 101 • 1st March 2014

Precious Metals
Platinum is the most prestigious and popular precious metal, it's extremely hard-wearing and very rare. Most UK platinum is 95% pure and is low maintenance as it doesn't require rhodium plating like white gold. Platinum is the ideal metal for your wedding ring, being extremely rare it can be an expensive; but it's definitely worth it!
Palladium is from the same group of metals as platinum but isn't as hardwearing and is lighter in weight. Most UK palladium is 95% pure and similar to platinum in as much as it doesn't require rhodium plating. Palladium is a cheaper alternative to platinum, so ideal for brides and grooms on a budget.
White gold:
White gold is naturally a grey colour so is normally rhodium plated to achieve a silver finish; this rhodium plating does wear off over time. White gold is available in different carats, 9ct rings are 37.5% gold and are the most hard-wearing, 14ct rings are 58.5% gold and 18ct are 75% gold. The rest is made up of silver, cobalt or zinc.
Gold is available in different carats and the colour of gold is affected by the carat; 9ct rings are hard-wearing and a lighter yellow as its 37.5% gold. 14ct rings are 58.5% gold, 18ct are 75% gold and 22ct is less hardwearing than 9ct as its 91.6% gold so therefore a deeper yellow colour. The rest is made up of silver, cobalt or zinc.
Rose gold:
Rose gold is back in fashion and is also available in different carats. 9ct rings are 37.5% gold and are pinker in comparison to 18ct which is 75% gold, the rest is mostly copper and a small percentage of silver.
Silver is another precious metal but isn't very hard-wearing and is therefore inexpensive. Silver is not a common metal to use as wedding rings due to these properties.
Non-precious metals:
Non-precious metals like titanium, zirconium and tungsten are becoming more popular, especially for grooms as they are all relatively hard-wearing. Zirconium has the option of black zirconium which is heat treated zirconium and therefore a unique idea for a wedding ring.
We hope that this has helped you understand all the different metal options that you have! There are definitely plenty to choose from!
