As we move through a highly technical society, it is apparent that a math background will continue to be valuable to students. Students should carefully assess their math ability and then pursue the math curriculum to their maximum potential.
NOTE: District 279 graduation requirements include one full year of math in their 10th to 12th grade year. It is the recommendation of the math department that a grade of at least C+ be attained before moving to the next level in a math sequence. If this grade level is not attained, the recommendation is to repeat the class to enhance the understanding of the material and improve the grade before continuing to the next level. The State requires a passing score on the Minnesota Basic Math Standards Test.
Course Descriptions:
Mathematics course descriptions can be found in the Registration Handbook.

Singapore Budget 2018: Higher airport charges now will avert big hike later: minister
RAISING passenger charges earlier to fund the airport's Changi East development is being undertaken to avoid imposing a big hike in the amount airport users would have to pay down the road, said Second Minister for Transport Ng Chee Meng in Parliament on Wednesday.
"Airport users will start to benefit from Changi East progressively," he said during the Committee of Supply debate. "Having users start paying earlier avoids large spikes in the amount they have to pay later on."
The new fees announced last week have attracted criticism from airlines, which have warned that higher fares could dampen demand for flights out of Changi.
Passengers aren't the only ones to have to bear higher fees. Airlines too, will pay more to use Changi Airport; there will be a one per cent hike in landing, parking and aero bridge (LPA) fees from July.
From July 1, passengers departing from the airport will pay S$10.80 for a new airport development levy (ADL); transit/transfer passengers will pay S$3 per leg when they pass through the airport.
The airport's passenger service and security fee (PSSF) will go up as well - by S$2.50 to S$30.40 from July. It will continue going up by S$2.50 a year until 2024.
The International Air Transport Association (Iata) has also expressed its disappointment at the new charges, saying it was unfair to expect passengers and airlines to pay in advance for a facility they may not use later.
Aside from Terminal 5 (T5), the Changi East development covers works for a third runway and a network of tunnels and systems linking Changi East and the existing terminals.
The third runway will be operational by the early 2020s, and T5, around 2030, adding capacity of 50 million passengers a year.
Changi Airport's four terminals now handle up to 82 million passengers a year.
By next year, the mixed-use development called Jewel and the expansion of Terminal 1 will add a further three million in handling capacity.
In his speech to the House, Mr Ng also explained the decision to go for a flat ADL instead of a tiered one, as has been done by airports such as Hong Kong International. (There, the fee a passenger pays varies by distance and type of fare.)
The minister said: "Passengers make use of the same facilities at the airport, regardless of where they are flying to. It is only fair that the charges they pay are the same. This is the same principle that has been used for other passenger charges such as the aviation levy and the passenger service and security fee."
Akin to building a second airport, the massive Changi East development will cost "tens of billions of dollars". The government will fund the majority of the cost; airport operator Changi Airport Group (CAG) will commit its reserves, future surpluses as well as undertake substantial borrowing, he said.
The balance will come from passengers and the airport community. The government has committed over S$9 billion to the project so far and CAG, some S$3.6 billion. "Without government funding, airport charges will have to increase even more," said Mr Ng.
The push to expand Changi Airport comes as Changi Airport seeks to build ahead of demand so that passengers can experience high service standards, even during peak hours.
Mr Ng said that infrastructure development is a long-term endeavour; with Terminal 3, for example, the decision to build it was taken in 1996, ahead of its launch in 2008.
Last year, Changi Airport handled a record 62.2 million passengers; passenger traffic is slated to continue rising at a clip of 3-4 per cent a year over the next two decades.
He added that the government would ensure prudent spending on Changi East: "We will strive for the most cost-effective way to develop Changi East, and ensure that Changi continues to be world class."
CAG is now evaluating proposals from three consortia which are vying to be the master building consultant for T5. Mr Ng said all three have submitted designs that will set T5 apart from other airports around the world.

Address: 2315 Broadway (at 84th St.)
*Also located in Midtown West and Union Square
Link: http://5napkinburger.com
Review: If you are in the mood for some hearty burgers with a slightly upscale setting this is a safe bet. Though tiled decor lends to a louder than desired setting, it is a cut above your dine and dash burger joints. With other options besides just charred beef, like sushi rolls and lobster roll sliders, 5 Napkin provides variety for everyone in your group. This spot is better suited for something very casual or a group dinner with friends/family.
Address: 206 W. 79th St. (Amsterdam and Broadway)
*Also located in Murray Hill
Link: http://www.coppolas-nyc.com/
Review: This Italian eatery does its best to give patrons a taste of the good life. Despite its rather nice decor and somewhat romantic surroundings, the food fell flat. The chicken parm was drowned in red sauce and had more than enough cheese for a medium size breast. In lieu of the setting, which is an escape from the norm in Murray HIll, for the money there are other places to go for better food.
Address: 212 W. 79th St. (Broadway & Amsterdam)
Link: http://blondiessports.com/
Review: Blondies is worth the trip to the UWS for the wings alone. With varying degrees of heat, you can choose just how far you want to go on the Scoville scale. This is one of the best sports bars in NYC with TVs EVERYWHERE. There are plenty of other food options available, but not many for those counting calories. With a good beer selection and prices that don't break the bank, this spot is a favorite for catching the game. If you and your date are both sports fanatics Blondies can be a ton of fun to check out, and of course it's always good to get a group of buddies and head here for Sunday Funday. FYI – Get there early on Sundays and for big sporting events as it tends to fill up quick!
Rosa Mexicano
Address: 61 Columbus Ave. (62nd & 63rd St.)
*Locations also in Midtown East and Union Square
Link: http://www.rosamexicano.com/newyorkcity/
Review: Rosa Mexicano is a large format chain Mexican restaurant with 3 locations in NYC – Union Square, Upper West Side and Midtown East. But even though it is a chain they have great, more upscale Mexican dishes with deliciously fresh ingredients. They have a large menu with tons of different options and lots of great tequila cocktails as well. You of course need to order the guac which is freshly made at your table, their ceviches are solid and the fundido (Mexican fondue type dish) is super cheesy and terrible for you but oh so good and a must order for the table to share. If you're looking to have a fun dinner out with friends and/or family, this is a great choice. Though beware, at busier times the servers can get over whelmed, service can get pretty slow and one for got an app we ordered.
Address: 72 W. 69th St. (Columbus Ave. & Central Park W)
Link: http://www.telepan-ny.com/
Review: We ventured out to Telepan on the Upper West Side for our first stop for Restaurant Week and were not disappointed. We were greeted by a very cordial host who sat us at a nice corner table. We decided to go with the three-course menu with the wine pairings to get the full experience. Our waiter and the sommelier were both super friendly and helpful. We had a tough time deciding which dishes to order since most of them looked fantastic and our waiter definitely made the right recommendations for us. Each dish was executed extremely well and the wine pairings were spot on. The sommelier was brief and to the point with his descriptions of the wines in a way that even a non-wino could understand, not rambling on and on like some sommeliers tend to do. The portions were generous for a $35 pre fix; the pork and chicken dishes having a couple of different types of preparations on one plate. We finished our meal off with a delicious and refreshing seasonal dessert of strawberry parfait, cream and prosecco. The tab was pricey, but with the good food and sharp, friendly service, it was a price definitely worth paying for the experience. Snatch up a reservation for Restaurant Week while you still can!
Address: 433 Amsterdam Ave. (80th & 81st St.)
*Locations also in Financial District, Midtown East, Midtown West, Flatiron/Gramercy, Upper East Side
Link: http://www.harusushi.com/
Review: Haru is your chain sushi place that churns out solidly good sushi with decent creativity with their rolls, but this is not a place for the sushi purists. They have good apps like the crispy duck and shrimp and mushroom shumai, a bunch of good specialty cocktails ($13 a pop) and solid rolls. Haru is a better spot for a group dinner rather than a date, but nonetheless, an above average last minute place when you're in the mood for sushi. The menu isn't the cheapest out there but the wait is never too long so reservations aren't really necessary.
Address: 427 Amsterdam Ave. (80th & 81st St.)
*Location also in Chelsea
Link: http://momoyanyc.com/
Review: The no reservation policy makes for a long wait, but the dishes we had were worth the wait. We sat up at the sushi bar, got a bottle of Asahi, a tokkuri of saki, edamame and gyoza to start, all of which hit the spot. We love our special rolls, and Momoya's signature rolls were some of the best we've ever tasted to date. Service was a little bit slow but the place was packed so that was to be expected. Momoya is definitely a great date spot if you don't mind waiting or go on an off night.
Land Thai Kitchen
Address: 450 Amsterdam Ave. (81st & 82nd St.)
*Location also in the Upper East Side
Link: http://www.landthaikitchen.com/westside/
Review: Land Thai is a UWS restaurant with a great romantic date night atmosphere and decent thai food. The drunken noodles with chicken were very very spicy so don't order this dish unless you like that! The pad thai with shrimp and the spring rolls were solid choices, albeit pretty standard choices you can get at most decent thai places. The pluses were the friendly and attentive waitstaff and the Thai beer the boyfriend had been looking for since he got back from his trip to Thailand. We wouldn't send someone on a trip up to the UES for this place but if you live in the area it's definitely a decent spot for a date.
Luke's Lobster
Address: 426 Amsterdam Ave. (80th & 81st St.)
*Locations also in Financial District, Upper East Side and East Village
Link: http://www.lukeslobster.com/
Review: We're pretty obsessed with Luke's Lobster – super fresh seafood from Maine right in the middle of the East Village (and FiDi, UES and UWS). We always seem to end up here whenever we are in the area! They have delicious lobster, shrimp and crab rolls, lobster and shrimp being our favorites. Really good sodas and chips as well. But since it's locations are all pretty small take out places, it's not ideal for a date but more of a place to stop in if you're looking for a quick bite before heading elsewhere. Also not the cheapest meal for a take out sandwich but they do drive the seafood down from Maine daily and it's definitely worth the price. Luke's Lobster is a great spot to grab a bite to eat and has the best lobster rolls you'll find south of Cape Cod. Great healthier alternative to a slice of pizza when you're out in the East Village or near one of their other locations.
Brother Jimmy's
Address: 428 Amsterdam Ave. (80th & 81st St.)
*Locations also in Union Square, Upper East Side, Murray Hill and Midtown West
Link: http://www.brotherjimmys.com/
Review: Ahh Brother Jimmy's. The boyfriend and I met here and it's definitely not a date spot – we like to say we fell in love in a hopeless place. This is the type of bar you come to to chug cheap PBRs or down fishbowls with your buddies. It's a sloppy mess of newly minted NY bros and chicks. Bro J's is always a scene in the summer so get there early or the line will be around the block. Obviously it's not a spot to bring a date but if you, your significant other and all your friends are looking to celebrate, Bro J's is a good choice. So grab all your buddies, get sloshed and enjoy some awesome southern BBQ to soak up some of that alcohol.

Love rats 'get flirty at 40'
Most adulterers are ready to break their marriage vows long before the seven-year itch starts, a new survey has claimed
According to a poll by maritalaffair.co.uk, the most likely female love cheat is in her 40s, earns less than 20,000 pounds a year and has GCSEs, the Daily Star reported.
On the other hand, male love rats are likely to have a degree, be in their late 40s and earn between 20,000-30,000 pounds.

text: Many of you have asked about how one would deal with an engine problem with the plane over the extended ocean flying that I will have to do, or worse, in the event that I would end up having to ditch the aircraft. The answer is simple - a very unpleasant and cold (literally very cold) "get wet". Although the DeHavilland Beaver's Pratt & Whitney 985 radial engine is almost bullet proof (even when more than one cylinder blows, which in itself is a rarity, this engine keeps running with surprising power). But one never knows 100%. There for, as I am one who tries to think of all the what if's - of the "what if's" - I will have a 2 hour immersion suit on with a specially geared ELT hooked to the suit ("Emergency Locator Beacon" with plane and description registered to NOAA), and within arms reach, a 5 man CO2 charged inflatable life raft with shelter/beacons and a survival gear pack (with Satphone in HD Ziplock inside). If I were to be descending and preparing to ditch, I would pull the compact raft to my lap protecting my chest from impact and hopefully be able to grab the survival gear too on the way out. The key though is to get the raft out and deployed as I would probably have only a matter of minutes before the plane would disappear. Pictures of my actual equipment. The suit is custom fitted.

The project FASTGRID aims at significantly enhancing the technical and economical attractiveness of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) for their application in superconducting fault current limiters (SCFCL).
The material development made in FASTGRID will lead to advanced HTS tapes that will be the key for low cost high voltage direct current (HVDC) SCFCL, which will help to remove one of the barriers of HVDC grids called Supergrids, i.e. fault current management. These supergrids are considered as the best solution in economic, technic and security terms to enhance the necessary massive penetration of renewable energies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The main objectives of the FASTGRID project are to:
- Increase the electrical field that these conductors can withstand under limitation without any degradation or properties
- Improve the critical current of the conductors
- Raise the robustness of the tapes against all kinds of operation conditions
- Functionalize its surface to increase the thermal exchanges with the coolant.
ITAS work packages
As part of WP5 "Dissemination and socio-economic aspects", ITAS will conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) to analyze the environmental impacts of various HTS tapes and their different manufacturing routes.
Project website
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 721019.

In 2015, sending your first tweet should be up there with taking your first steps and eating solid food for the first time as important early development milestones.
I mean, if your baby doesn't have a strong social media presence, then, honestly, what's the point of having a baby?
For this reason, December 13, 2015, will probably go down as the biggest day in North West's entire life.
For on that day, North West sent her first tweet.
You're a brand now!
Kim clarified to the world the above tweet wasn't her having a stroke on whatever phone she uses, but rather, it was sent from North's hands into our lives.
Oh, man, did this get the Twitter universe jazzed.
At 2, North West has more of an Internet presence than literally everyone you know combined.
And the countdown toward her first public Twitter beef with Mason begins...

Five Great Running Drills To Try Before Your Next Run
Have you got any running goals for this year? Have you entered into your first race? When you're thinking about training then you need to consider some running drills to help you out.
Running drills are also great even if you haven't entered into a race.
Building up a knowledge of exercises that are relevant to running is important. You may have stretched earlier on in the day, but static stretching can only do so much…
It's best to get your head around the idea of dynamic stretches – "drills" that stretch your muscles using quick, repetitive movements.
But why?
Why Dynamic Stretches Are Important
So you've ditched static stretches – what now?
Dynamic stretches are important for runners to employ before they run primarily because of three things: body temperature increase, improved range of motion, and power enhancement.
When you move your muscles continuously your body temperature rises, resulting in an increase in temperature of your muscles.
In turn, they become more elastic.
This elasticity translates into an increase in the range of motion of your muscles, which translates to more power.
So then, what are some examples of stretches you can do before you break out six consecutive miles?
Five Important Running Drills
These five will surely enhance your next run; use them every time you hit the streets.
Yeah, that's right – skips are a potent and easy way to warm up for your next run.
They put much less stress on your joints then a warm-up jog would.
They also put your limbs through a wide range of motion, engage your core, and improve coordination.
Try a few sets of skips before your next run.
Lateral Bounds
More of a warm-up than a dynamic stretch, doing a few of these pre-run will do wonders for your legs.
Start in a position that's similar to squatting.
Propel yourself from one of your legs as far as possible in one direction.
Try to land in the same position that you started in.
This warm-up/drill improves the strength and balance of your quadriceps muscles.
Hamstring Extensions
Hamstring extensions are excellent dynamic stretches for your legs before you run; your hamstrings are arguably some of the most important muscles in the legs when it comes to running.
If your hamstrings are tight, it could limit your flexibility which could prevent other muscles working as they should and so reducing your power. If you don't have as much power, then you won't be able to push yourself forwards as fast as you'd like (and we all want to beat our personal best!).
Perform this stretch while jogging.
Kick one leg up as high as possible, focusing on keeping it as straight and aligned with your body as you can.
Alternate legs for optimal effect.
You can do this stretch while walking or jogging.
Carioca is a lovely warmup that requires a little practice to perfect.
Start by standing in a straight position, with your feet shoulder length apart.
Keeping your feet flat on the ground, rotate your left leg in front and around your right leg then move your right leg so that your body is more or less in the same position it started in.
Overlap the same leg, but it behind your leg this time.
Ideally, you'll want to perform both of these overlaps quick enough so that your body moves laterally (to the side) at a quick pace.
Butt Kickers
These dynamic stretches are a great way to give your quads an active warmup.
They increase your quadricep's elasticity and are incredibly easy to perform.
While jogging, try and kick your butt with your heel.
Alternate feet and feel the stretch of your quads.
Try these running drills at the start of your next run. Over time, you'll feel yourself getting more flexible and hopefully, improving your running technique and pace!

We see what's looking good around the world this April.
10. Annie Mac Presents Lost & Found Malta
April 3 - April 6
Various Venues
"Having attended festivals all my life, I did not enter into this project lightly." So said Annie Mac about her new festival in Malta, Lost & Found. The BBC Radio 1 DJ says she's been working on the event for the past ten years, with help from UK institutions like Sound Channel and Warehouse Project. Little wonder, then, that Lost & Found should make such a strong showing in its first year: the weekend brings dozens of house and bass heavyweights (Carl Craig, Eats Everything, DJ EZ, Kerri Chandler) to boat parties, poolside dance floors and "open-air raves," all set against the sun-kissed backdrop of Malta in spring.
RA Pick: David Rodigan's reggae selections should suit the seaside atmosphere.
09. Donaufestival
April 24 - May 2
Various Venues
Krems, Austria
In the vast expanse of European festivals, Donau is something of an overlooked gem. This intimate and avant-garde event takes place over two weekends in Krems, a small city just outside Vienna. Its bill brings together a concise but varied cast of boldly experimental artists, from electronic acts such as Autechre, Arca, Powell and James Holden to the likes of Grouper, Nils Frahm, Stars Of The Lid and Battles. Hosting this year's label showcases are UK ambient institution Touch and the esteemed cassette
imprint Opal Tapes.
RA pick: You'd be crazy to pass up a chance to see post-rock legends Godspeed! You Black Emperor.
08. Caprices Festival
April 9 - April 12
Moubra Tennis Center
Crans Montana, Switzerland
Since Caprices first launched in 2004, dance music has played second fiddle to stadium-sized rock and pop. But this year that's all set to change, as the Swiss ski festival slims down from a week to a weekend and moves to Moubra Tennis Center, a smaller, clubbier venue in the heart of the local village. A raft of big-league house and techno names will herald in this new era. Solomun, Dixon and DJ Tennis will bring the big melodies, while Sven Väth, Ricardo Villalobos and Chris Liebing promise to keep pulses racing well into the early hours.
RA pick: Something about Zip at a Swiss ski resort feels too good to miss.
07. Electron Festival
April 2 - April 6
Various Venues
Geneva, Switzerland
All things told, Geneva is a sleepy city during Easter. The streets are quiet and there's a general air of things being taken down a notch. Except, that is, if you're anywhere in the vicinity of Electron. The annual festival jolts Geneva out of its slumber, taking over some of its best venues (many of which are clustered along the Rhône) with a broad range of electronic music, from party-focused fare (Boys Noize, DJ Funk) to leftfield sounds (Etienne Jaumet, Planningtorock) to ballsy techno (Inigo Kennedy, Rødhåd, Oscar Mulero). Strolling through the empty city between these performances, you get the pleasant sensation of having Geneva to yourself.
RA pick: DJ Koze will warp minds in Palladium on the Friday night.
06. Communikey
April 16 - April 19
Various Venues
Boulder, Colorado
Communikey might be North America's finest boutique techno festival. It takes place in Boulder, Colorado, a medium-sized city with a disproportionately large dance music community that it shares with Denver. As a result, the festival's lineup is full of local talent, as well as an impressive cast of artists from overseas. Charles Cohen, Neel, Paula Temple, Segue and Orphx are just a few of the artists tackling this year's theme of "Inner Space // Outer Space," where "the true final frontier actually rests within ourselves."
RA pick: Check out Paul Fleetwood for a taste of Colorado's local scene.
05. DGTL Festival
April 4 - April 5
NDSM Docklands
Amsterdam, Netherlands
There's something nice, stately even, about arriving at a festival by boat. And that's exactly how punters begin their weekend at DGTL, before settling into the rugged surroundings of a disused shipyard in Amsterdam. There's no shortage of European festivals with an industrial backdrop, but DGTL's attention to detail makes it one of the best. The sound is impeccable, and the lineup doesn't pull any punches. More than 80 acts will play this year, including masters of the trade like Move D, Dixon and Motor City Drum Ensemble.
RA pick: John Talabot's back-to-back set with former Trouw resident Job Jobse's should bring out the best in both DJs.
04. Snowbombing
April 6 - April 11
Various Venues
Mayrhofen, Austria
Snowbombing is all about breadth of experience. The music is key, of course, but so is the skiing, the fancy-dress and the thrill that comes with, say, partying in an igloo. Throw in one of the world's most up-for-it crowds and you've got an atmosphere so raucously fun it's no wonder people return religiously year-on-year. As for the lineup, it's the same drill as ever in 2015, with the likes of Carl Cox, Basement Jaxx and Skrillex rubbing shoulders with Carl Craig, Âme, Henrik Schwarz, Erol Alkan, Modeselektor, Eats Everything and many more.
RA pick: Few artists are better suited to Snowbombing's rambunctious vibe than Jackmaster.
03. Sunwaves
April 30 - May 3
Sunwaves Beach
Mamaia Nord, Romania
17 editions in, we think we know what Romania's most famous festival is all about: partying. And after-partying. And after-after-partying... you get the idea. The soundtrack to all of this is mostly smooth minimal house, supplied by some of the style's leading names, many of them homegrown. Alongside a huge cast of regulars—Raresh, Petre Inspirescu, Dan Andrei, Cristi Cons and Praslea—organisers brought in the likes of Richie Hawtin and Recondite to provide a counterpoint to the bare-bones house that defines most of the bill. Few events of this size are steeped in subtle sounds the way Sunwaves is, which makes it one of Europe's most singular festivals.
RA pick: Catch local hero Raresh spinning on home turf.
02. Coachella
April 10 - April 12 / April 17 - April 19
Empire Polo Club
Indio, California
Ever since Daft Punk's game-changing performance there in 2006, dance music has been part of Coachella festival's soul—these days, you could spend a good chunk of the weekend dancing to artists like Tale Of Us, DJ Harvey, John Talabot and J.E.S.+S. (Jackmaster, Eats Everything, Seth Troxler and Skream). But it would be a mistake to home in too closely on this corner of the sprawling lineup. Part of what makes Coachella a runaway hit is the incredible variety of the artists on offer: in a ten minute walk across the festival's grassy expanse, you could hear everything from Tame Impala to FKA twigs, Jack White to Raekwon and Ghostface, Steely Dan to Drake. Throw in the desert oasis location and you start to see how this thing sells out twice every year.
RA pick: It's all too easy to picture Panda Bear's melodies echoing across the polo field.
01. Time Warp
April 5 - April 6
Mannheim, Germany
Yep, it's Time Warp time again. Even if you've never been, you probably know the drill: Väth, Cox, Hawtin, Villalobos, Mannheim. The one-night megarave is known for sticking to its guns year after year, but 2015 still has plenty of fresh faces. Mammoth techno—what Time Warp does best—gets the biggest boost, with Rødhåd, Steve Rachmad (appearing as Sterac) and Matthew Dear's Audion live show. But no matter how many times you've seen them, you can't say no to huge-room sets from Laurent Garnier, Dixon, Luciano and the rest. Time Warp is homecoming for some of Europe's biggest DJs, and they're sure to bring their A-game.
RA pick: Rødhåd has a way with festival stages—see what he brings to the table.

A private cloud is simply a cloud built specially for one company, located either at their location, a data centre or a third-party site. Whilst public cloud offerings are often the default for many organisations and applications, a very real option for some is to utilise a private cloud.
Two models for cloud services can be delivered in a private cloud. The first is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). This allows a company to use infrastructure resources such as network and storage as a service. The second is Platform as a Service (PaaS) that lets a company deliver everything from simple cloud-based applications to more complex company applications.
Private clouds can also be combined with public clouds to create a hybrid cloud, allowing businesses to take advantage of more space and scale computing services to the public cloud when the computing demand increases.
Since the private cloud was first released, Plan-Net has helped lots of legal, financial, consulting and other professional services clients to migrate and secure the benefits of this workflow and business transforming platform.
Not only do we know how to streamline your migration to the cloud; we also know how to help you get the most from the platform in relation to the core applications and working needs of firms in these sectors.
Embracing a private cloud can be more challenging than you may first think. If you conclude that you don't have the time or resources to carry out the work yourself, then working with a partner can make sense.
We'll review your current network, IT model, and develop a personalised cloud strategy with you. We will help you identify which cloud is appropriate and what are the right applications to move to the cloud.
Once your cloud strategy has been appropriately prepared, we'll prepare and carry out the connection of your users and applications to the cloud. We'll look after everything. Your security will be intact throughout and robust. Your E-mail and its archives will all be in place and working beautifully.
With the correct design, we move onto planning and supporting your migration to the cloud. However, the cloud system cannot run by itself. Plan-Net will also help in the maintenance and enhancement of the cloud to ensure our customers are delighted with the quality of our service.
Definitely. Microsoft Azure itself delivers clear Business Advantage. But Plan-Net's experience in leading professional services firms through the migration and adoption of Azure so that it enhances their specific environments and workflows creates undeniable Business Advantage.
If you're considering migrating to the private cloud, or have already done so but would like help in getting the best from the platform, get in touch.

Chris Woods penned this review.
What a pleasant surprise, a musical biography which I actively enjoyed reading! I'm afraid I'm old enough, and difficult enough nowadays, to find that many biographies of bands and artists contain more irritation content than enjoyment. I read them, but often more out of a sense of duty, because I admire the artist and want the information, than for the simple pleasure of reading an entertaining book. Berger's work has, for me, a sprinkling of minor irritations, but not enough to prevent it being thoroughly enjoyable, such that as a reader you look forward to the next opportunity to pick it up.The book traces the history of the Levellers from a collection of somewhat aimless and slightly disreputable youngsters hanging around the UK punk music scene in Brighton, to the highly effective and popular band and successful business which they have become today. The book's strength, in my opinion, is that it is more than just a bland history of facts and figures and activities. The author has created a readable and enjoyable story by writing about the band, not just as a group of musicians, but also from the much wider perspective of UK society and the prevailing political and social climate.
The Levellers are a political band; they have an alternative philosophy and they support numerous causes which could be described as counter-cultural. Unusually, however, for an 'alternative' band, they also manage to appeal to a large section of British music fans and traditionalists. Their brand of counter-culture, while being seriously at odds with many aspects of modern life and modern political values (and even the establishment music press), is not so far removed from some old traditional values. Any book about them should include that aspect of their story, but I can imagine many authors would not have done so, and it's to his credit that George Berger has.
Maybe this means that there wasn't quite the space to cover everything the band members have done over the years in meticulous detail, but the gains easily outweigh the losses. By having taken this approach, the book is far more interesting, not just for anyone interested in the Levellers as a band, but also as a comment on society in general.
On a personal level, I find it interesting that the author draws parallels between the anarchistic punk ethos, the new age travellers 'crusty' movement, and the '60s 'flower power' anti-establishment movements. The Levellers is a band who has, possibly inadvertently, drawn together the ideals of each, and adapted them to cope with the materialistic Thatcher years of UK society. Their philosophy is readable in their song lyrics, which is what attracted me originally, but it's also led to the creation of a business enterprise around the band which is unlike virtually any other, but which nevertheless works, and works well.
The book's other main strength is that it does not portray the band through the eyes of a sycophantic fan who puts the subject on a pedestal and believes they can't and have never done wrong. The author obviously knows the band well and is a fan and admirer, and his general approval is evident, but that hasn't stopped him reporting some of the less savoury details of the band's history or behaviour. He provides the background and an explanation of why the band or individuals did what they did at the time, but overall the book feels balanced and honest.
The band members are portrayed as individuals with strong social feelings who attempt to live honestly, staying true to their ideals within their own moral ethic. They mostly succeed, but when they slip, it gets space in the book along with the successes. The result is that the members of the band, and other individuals who are mentioned in the book, are portrayed as real characters.
The book contains, within the main text, brief comments on the more significant recordings and songs over ten years, along with informative comments from the author and the band. There are also plenty of relevant quotes from the band members to back up the details and information contained in the book, some illustrations, and a section of photographs.
It has a good discography section with the usual list of official releases, and there is also a section on 'rarities and oddities', which covers limited edition items and demos. In addition there is a section on known bootlegs with brief notes about some of them. It is interesting and refreshing that, given the serious problems the Levellers have experienced with merchandise bootleggers, some instances of which are recounted in the book, they still feel able to acknowledge the recordings in the official biography. The book also contains a listing of all official gigs.
The main irritant for me is that the author appears to relate many things to the lyrics of an anarchistic anti-establishment punk band called Crass. Heard them? No, neither have I, and while I can well accept that they were initially a significant source of ideas to that generation of punks, and to the Levellers, I find it annoying to have references to their lyrics throughout the book. Certainly for me, and, I suspect, for many readers, they don't provide the same reference points as for the author.
That complaint excepted, however, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Levellers fans, even those who are members of the 'On the Fiddle' club, will find plenty of new information and stories about the band in this book, and anyone interested in counter-cultural movements will also find the book worth looking at.
The cover price is £9.99 UK for the paperback, and to my mind it represents excellent value. Very readable, plenty of information, and the refreshingly different (for a band biography) perspective is ideal for the Levellers, who are, after all, a rather different sort of band.

How It Feels to be Adopting a Foster Baby
Oh my goodness. I can't even believe I just wrote the title of this blog post. I am flooded with emotions, as Scott and I are preparing to adopt our first child. A one and a half year old BEAUTIFUL boy that I've nicknamed Baby Blue. We have had the privilege of nurturing him since he was five days old! Barely five pounds. Loving on him as if we were the mom and dad every child deserves to have. Unsure if we would lose him, and never even see him again.
We've been there. Done that.
BUT, after years of waiting…Years of trials and a massive heartbreak, it's finally happening. In just a few days, Baby Blue will have a forever mom and a forever dad. Scott and I will be forever parents.
I'm going to do my best to share how it feels to finally be adopting a foster baby. For anyone that is waiting for their heart's desire, my prayer is that this blog post will bless you, in an extraordinary way!
How It Feels to be Adopting a Foster Baby
It's not easy to put this in writing. It's not even easy to interpret what is going on in my mind and in my heart. There's certainly no single word to describe how I feel, right now. But, I'm going to give it a shot…
I am so nervous. It's more of a physiological feeling that I can't control. Like something huge is happening, and my life will never be the same. I'm nervous that something will go wrong before adoption day. (Yes, I have already had a dream that we were late and missed the hearing!) I'm ten times more nervous that I was the day that Scott and I eloped. I think this is normal, especially because it's a huge change in our life that will take time to adjust.
I'm nervous about being the best parent I can possibly be. (I suppose this is the same feeling any new parent feels. Not just adoptive parents.) But, the difference is that there will be a day when Baby Blue will know about his Biological family. Scott and I hope that his story will shape him in an extraordinary way. Every child deserves to know the truth about their first few years of life. I'm nervous about how Blue will respond. How will he feel knowing about being adopted? Of course, people say, "Adopted children are chosen. There's no greater love for them to feel!"
We can only hope and pray that Blue genuinely feels this way.
I cried all day when I found out our adoption hearing was scheduled. It's the first time I really felt confident that this was REALLY happening! I am actually beyond overjoyed. God has given me a beautiful baby boy to raise for the rest of my life! I am overjoyed to be a part of his every day. His future. I am overjoyed that I get to love him and watch him grow. I'm so overjoyed to experience God's awesome faithfulness!
Baby Blue was a foster baby. His biological family situation is a sensitive topic and one I cannot share. Scott and I met Baby Blue's biological mom, a few times. I'm beyond grateful that she cared so much for him. She wanted him to be happy, and she knew he was in good hands. She was so kind to Scott and me. I will forever keep her in my heart and my prayers. Baby Blue will always be her biological son. So, I am so sad for obvious reasons.
Most women start thinking about their futures at a young age. When I think about the naive, young adult, I once was… I definitely feel humbled. Finding a soul mate did not come easily for me. None of the blessings (in my adult life) home come without a price. Without heartache, first.
I experienced more than I write about. Someday, I may share more on some of the struggles I've had. I believe God allows us to suffer, so that we can be humbled. And, so that we can recognize HIS BLESSINGS. Everything good in my life is because of him. So, yes. I feel incredibly HUMBLED!
I always thought that I'd have a bigger family. Three kids. Minimum. But, little did I know that ONE CHILD could fill my heart as much as ten kids could. I love Baby Blue so much. I have the same love for foster children that I don't have anymore. God has chosen Scott and me for this special and extraordinary journey. It's been so extraordinary. We still have a few empty rooms in our house. But, I don't feel like I'm yearning anymore. If our family is complete with Baby Blue, I am so blessed. There will never be a day that I don't thank the good Lord for this blessing in our lives.
There's probably a zillion other emotions that go along with the few I just described. For those of you who have been on this foster journey with Scott and me, from the beginning, you have an idea of all that we've been through. My prayer is that our story can encourage anyone who is suffering loss or longing for an answer to prayer. No matter how you "feel" today, God is working in some way that is for your good. I leave you with one of my favorite bible verses.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
God bless you! Thank you for reading. xo

Speaking of making words sing, Mark at Baseball Bard sent along a pleasing poem for Father's Day. "Better air in our lungs," indeed!
Baseball as metaphor for life is cliche, but find a better one. Paternally considered, it's hugely gratifying when your home-team's players develop skills exceeding your own. Not just talkin' baseball here. How's writing camp going over there in Memphis, Older Daughter?

There's still some uncertainty surrounding Newcastle's squad, with Gini Wijnaldum expected to sign for Liverpool today and wantaway Moussa Sissoko reporting back on August 1st and making it very clear he wants to leave Newcastle just as soon as he can possibly can.
Rafa has a message today for the fans that he wants to get things sorted at Newcastle just as soon as possible.
But these transfers out are not really in his control and he has said all summer if Newcastle's valuations are met for certain players they will be sold.
Rafa Benitez – wants squad sorted as soon as possible
Gini will leave the club today and Moussa will almost certainly also leave and the only other player who may move on is Daryl Janmaat.
That's if a club comes in with a £10M bid for him – which is now likely given the way some Premier League clubs are spending money this summer like it's going out of style.
This is what Rafa said today as he tries to get things under control just as soon as possible:
"We want to finish getting the squad together as quickly as possible,"
"Then we can start thinking about what we want to do with the team. You want your team to be sorted as soon as possible."
"But at the moment, we are still having to wait and see what is going to happen with a few things."
"Little by little we are getting there though, and we will soon be at a point where we have to start finalizing the team that will play against Fulham."
"Soon, we will have to be saying, 'OK, this could be the team that starts'."
"Sissoko will report back like everybody else has, and then we will go from there."
"We will see him on the first of August, but until then it is not really worth talking about anything because he is not here."
Rafa still wants to bring in another striker and maybe a defender and midfield player – and he will replace Gini and Moussa Sissoko too – if the boastful Frenchman does leave the club.
Comments welcome.
5 comments so far
I see that Zonal marking : Man marking, is for some an issue after a second friendly game. Given changing personnel, on and off the field, we do not need to panic. Just leave it to the professional as there is a change of guard at the toon.
Benitez at Liverpool favoured zonal marking. When the ball goes in against zonal marking its because a player hasn't done his job properly just like with man marking. I remember a discussion on MNF a while ago and Gary Neville saying that man marking was the only system employed in his time at ManU. Whilst Carra was a big fan of Zonal marking and pointed out the tendency for the so called Billy big bollox fans to always highlight when the ball goes in against zonal marking.
Let's leave Rafa to sort out the defence and not on the basis of the Doncaster second goal feel we need a major rethink.
With the transfers, I believe Charnely and Rafa know what they are doing. I have no Comment.
So far with what I have seen:
1. I believe Janmatt will leave.
2. Perez is the all same player he is better impact player
3. Arma has good runs and a very good No. 10
4. Mitro is suspended.
4. Hayden is good was impressed but he isnt better than Tiote. If Tiote leaves then he will be good to go.
5. Colback we have a balance wen he is in the team
Ed – Your last sentence suggests there are still five players to come into the club. Are you sure we can do that in time for the season start?
Having said that with Gini and Sissoko going we MUST buy a good quality midfield creator. If anything's a priority that has to be.
Have to say also I'm still worried about our goalkeeping situation. Don't think anyone of the squad we have (including the new signing) are the quality we need.
There are some really good keepers out there who could have been bought for peanuts. Victor Valdes for free – now that would have been nice.

The Chicago Tribune had an intriguing story today about Des Plaines police officers facing disciplinary action concerning "alleged misreporting" of DUI cases in order to get overtime pay. But no details were forthcoming.
According to the story, reported by Jonathan Bullington:
Several Des Plaines police officers face possible suspensions stemming from a city investigation of alleged misreporting of DUI arrests to obtain overtime pay, officials said.
The overtime pay reportedly came from a federally funded grant designed to catch drunken drivers and seat belt violators.
Police Chief William Kushner said Friday that several officers would be disciplined, and the department might seek one officer's resignation. He would not name the officers or specify how many are involved.
Kushner also declined to elaborate on what the officers are accused of doing but said an internal investigation of this nature typically centers on violations of department rules and policies. He said an internal probe concluded last week, and that federal authorities are also looking into whether any laws were broken.
Kushner said the department is "putting steps in place to ensure nothing like this would ever happen again. … We want to put this behind us and move forward."
In 2011, Des Plaines was awarded a $116,190 Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program grant, the third largest in the state. The department had taken in $22,500 as of last March, when city leaders told the Illinois Department of Transportation that paperwork submitted for the grant might have included arrests made by officers who weren't actually working on grant-funded time, IDOT officials have said.
IDOT cut off the grant and allowed Des Plaines to investigate. The former commander who oversaw the program retired shortly after the grant was suspended.
So what does this mean? I have no idea. Des Plaines isn't talking.
However, if you follow this blog, you might recall that last year I reported that: "Former Will County State's Attorney Jeff Tomczak — who is in a position to know — has brought out evidence that Will County officers have been given a quota of 1 traffic stop per hour and one DUI per 10 hours in order to maintain Federal grants." And how I also wrote that the Howard County, MD police had a written policy mandating officers to write 2-4 citations an hour, in order to stop as many vehicles as possible in order to get DUI arrests.
You may also recall the many Chicago Police officers who have been caught over the past six years for exaggerating or making up DUI cases, allegedly to increase their overtime pay. (If you don't read this or that to get the most noteworthy examples).
And if you have a long enough memory, you may remember how a little over 10 years ago it was revealed that Highland Park police was targeting African-Americans and Hispanics (or anyone wearing a sombrero).
The longer Des Plaines covers up for its officers and refuses to release details, the more we can speculate. Perhaps Chief Kushner should remember that his salary is paid for by the taxpayers of Des Plaines and Cook County (and these federal funds are paid for by all taxpayers), and that he owes us all a full accounting.

A Conversation with an Iranian Colleague
January 8, 2020
Early this morning a British-educated Iranian colleague I've known for 20 years messaged me on Facebook. I won't mention his name.
He's no friend of the Iranian regime, but not a staunch enemy of it either (rare among Iranian expatriates), which is one reason why I found him to be a fruitful research collaborator back in the day and have found his insights invaluable over the years.
But something seems to have changed. Here is the transcript (my colleague's messages in red) , with annotations:
No, Israel Doesn't Owe Trump for the Embassy
September 12, 2018 • The National Post
Originally published under the title, "Israel Doesn't Owe Trump Much for Finally Moving the Embassy to Jerusalem."
Ever since Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital last December, Israelis have been told to brace themselves for a hefty quid pro quo under his long-awaited peace plan. "You won one point, and you'll give up some points later on in the negotiation," the president told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a joint news conference in January. Last month, he explained that Israel will pay "a higher price" because the U.S. moved its embassy to West Jerusalem on his watch — and that the Palestinians will "get something very good, because it's their turn next."
No, It Wasn't Bolton Who Screwed up the North Korea Summit
May 29, 2018 • The National Post
Originally published under the title "Who Screwed up the North Korea Summit? Hint: It Wasn't Bolton's Fault."
In the wake of the collapse of a planned June 12 summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un last week, commentators have rushed to point the finger at National Security Advisor John Bolton.
In Countering Netanyahu, JCPOA Proponents Regurgitate the Same One-Liner
May 7, 2018 • JNS.org
Whenever dozens of government officials, journalists, and policy analysts recycle the same one-liner in responding to a news event, you can bet they're full of it. In the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's unveiling of documents proving unmistakably that Iran has been lying for years about its nuclear program, proponents of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are falling over themselves to make the same quip – that the new revelations, far from calling into (further) question the wisdom of the so-called Iran nuclear deal, prove its necessity.
Putin Has Lost His Handle on Assad
April 13, 2018 • The Daily Caller
We'll probably never know exactly why Syrian President Bashar Assad ordered Saturday's chemical weapons attack on the encircled rebel-held city of Douma with pro-regime forces on the eve of complete military victory.
But this much is certain: Russian President Vladimir Putin is the big loser.

I am starting to see why my students loved me, rallied for me back in 2012-2013-2014…
It'd been puzzling me… what did I do differently then?
Today I saw it.
I had a private call with a brand new client from Australia, and it was a video call on zoom (don't ask… first time zoom user myself!) so I could see her, and the changes the conversation was creating in her.
Sense signals fight for dominance all the time, and humans allow visual signals to dominate most of the time… so I wasn't consciously feeling her… I actually saw her.
And that was a different guidance in many ways… I could SEE what was missing for her, and guide her through that.
Like everyone, she has put all her eggs in the fitting-in basket as a child… If I can fit it, I will be loved like others… delusion.
And gradually she lost touch with her "real" self, the self who could have guided her to be herself, regardless of what fitting in would mean.
But luckily for us, I saw a short video of her dancing in a class… and felt that her real self is still there, expressing herself in dancing… however short that video was.
So I could suggest that she dances every occasion she can create… so she can learn how the real self expresses itself, how it uses her limbs, and organs, and shoulders for guidance. To love, to rejoice, to feel.
Her eyes lit up, and suddenly there was a real sparkle there… so I knew I was on the right track…
So I went deeper: can you feel your love for your child? I asked… and of course she didn't… So I kissed my fingers a few times, neshikot, I call it, and I was in the space of yearning and pure love… but she wasn't moved…
The dance will help you get in touch with love… your love… Dance is love…
And the third thing: stand in front of the mirror until you can only see the person in the mirror, the innocent, beautiful person, and you can fall in love with them…
I loved her, and I loved myself as I was teaching her to get back to the inner guidance of her real self.
And this is what has been missing, what has been almost gone from my teaching "style" of late.
For that I apologize.
Do I have an explanation? Justification? Reasons?
Of course… of course I do. But when you really look, no explanation will have undone the damage I may have caused.
Surprisingly, my teaching got more effective, probably because it has been more in line with your outward directed attention.
My "job", if I want to fulfill on my life's purpose, is to have my cake and eat it too…
Be effective in teaching, and teach you to get guidance from the inside.
The innate guidance. Innate literally means: inborn…
100% of today's humans have lost touch with their innate guidance, their "real" self, through the tyranny of having to conform to expectations to fit in.
Fit in, through inner guidance, is one thing… it is healthy, using the innate intelligence to adapt behavior.
But humans, unfortunately, have changed their behavior through meaning, interpretation, through unreality.
Through the concept, through the idea that there is something wrong with you, therefore you must do things differently to make you appear right.
And now that is the "floor" your life is built on… there is something wrong with you, and whatever you have been DOING, and BEING, either worked or didn't work… so you are either OK, or you need to CHANGE some more.
What isn't being said is that there was never anything wrong with you, other than somebody said so…
You said so, or somebody else said it, and you took it as a gospel.
Certain soul corrections have more layers of wrong and "correction" or adjustment than others.
The more peeling it takes to get to the "there is nothing wrong with me" original self, the harder it is… and the more likely that the person will settle for some learned behavior that is still cut off from their self.
One of my students has been trying, working real hard, to peel of the adaptive behavior, for about two months now.
No one has done more work than him.
The illusory feeling is the every new revealed self is the real self… but if it is not innocent, then no… it isn't. So he is continuing to peel away. All I can do is hold the dirt as he is digging for gold, help him look through more filters, more distinctions, to be able to identify the next level of adaptive conditioning, so he can go beyond.
That is one way to get to your innate guidance, to your real self.
The other way is what I suggested to the Australian client this morning: connect to the real self directly.
I, personally, have done both. I found the mortifying adaptive behaviors, and then asked the innate self (is it consciousness?) to help me with it.
And when I was honest about asking for help, I got it. The behavior melted away without my need to force it, or create a rule about it.
This double edged sword method is the fastest… but it requires you to have skills and a level of integrity that is rare among humans that have been only concerned with surviving and looking good.
You come to me with a certain worldly desire to accomplish, health, wealth, happiness… and I have been reluctant to tell you that you have to build a new self from your real self for yourself, to become the innate you, for you to feel that your life is not empty.
And you have to face the ugly about your learned behaviors, owned that you have been that way, and ask for guidance to be differently.
The standard behavior is to explain the behavior away… and be stuck with it. Blaming it, hating it, disowning it will make it stuck. Acting to compensate for it… ditto.
Here is an example I got conscious of it yesterday.
I got a phone call from the driver of the community van, inquiring about my well being. I appreciated the concern… honestly I am not used to it, so it moved me.
He suggested that I rest a lot.
I countered that I am not tired… I am weak. Rest is for the tired… The weak needs to get stronger.
And then I suddenly saw that the common parlance, the common usage of those two words is inaccurate, imprecise.
Tired is the result of sustained effort. When you rest, the tiredness melts away, it is a pleasant feeling, and then you are able to do more sustained effort.
While the fake tired doesn't get resolved by resting… no energy gets returned. And this reveals the real nature of this fake tired: it is an excuse… an excuse to cover up some weakness… weakness of character, weakness of thinking, that needs a completely different resolution, if desired, than tiredness.
One of the moves the new adjusted self does is pretend that it's better, smarter, kinder, stronger than the real self.
And later this pretense exacts a very high price: you are asked to do more than what you are prepared to do.
You resent the implications of your pretense… because it has become an uncatchable ball… because it has become an expectation of you, and you are not willing… Never was, by the way.
So unless you cut yourself down to size… to your original size, you'll suffer till the end.
You can't be all you can be, because you have set up the game to be more than you can be, more than you are willing to be… so what you can be either seems too puny, or it is simply not available to you, you simply can't see your way to becoming enough.
We each have some of it…
I, for example, have set myself up to everybody's nurturer "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
And just like America, I resent the implications… working for free, never appreciated, favoring the needy to the productive…
So yeah, you are not alone in this work… I am right there with you… catering to the desires of the takers, the unappreciative, the "it's all about me, for me… bug off"
My innate self says: you should trust that when you do your soul's work, when you say no to the takers, when you charge for the value you give, you'll be noticed, appreciated, and be fulfilled.
I have never quite trusted that it would be so… And, of course, most people are bottomless pits, the more you shovel into them, the more they want.
Now you see why my integrity is not 100%…
I even stopped talking about, teaching, how to be true to yourself… And my teaching's effectiveness doubled, tripled, quadrupled. WTF, right?
I now have scarcely two students who exclaim: I love you, to me…
What was I trying to say in this post?
That there is a you, who is innocent, and who knows how to be happy, fulfilled, and even how to fit in without giving up what is important to you.
And that you can return to it, or not, and it's up to you, and up to how much work you are willing to do, and how much fear you are willing to take with you.
I am adding this "bit" to the Playground, as a counterpoint. This is also part of the invisible dynamics that corrupt, bastardize, and destroys life… Life.
As soon as I get a breathing moment, I'll schedule the next two Playgrounds… If you want to be in it, please apply asap.
I will, from now on, only sell the course module by module, given how much new stuff I put in, how much effort, how much more results you can accomplish with each added element.
So here is the link to register into the first module
A one on one session, like I had with the woman from Australia, is an upsell… an option, after you sign up to the Playground.
PS: As I am preparing this article for publishing, I am aware of an inner weeping. Regret. Sadness. Loss. Grief. Quiet, in the background.
I have a lot to grieve… so I do. And I have some work to do… get guidance from the discarded, ignored, invalidated self… that wants me to fully express what I was born to express… even if it is not as popular as the Lady Liberty's "drivel" I have adopted as my life's full expression.
How about becoming popular with those who deserve me? Now, that is a new and scary idea.

Nepal – one of the poorest nations in the world, with 40 percent of Nepalese people living on less than $2 a day – resources are in short supply, while prejudices remain rife.
Nepal earthquake of 2015, also called Gorkha earthquake, a severe earthquake that struck near the city of Kathmandu in central Nepal on April 25, 2015. About 9,000 people were killed, many thousands more were injured, and more than 600,000 structures in Kathmandu and other nearby towns were either damaged or destroyed. The earthquake was felt throughout central and eastern Nepal, much of the Ganges River plain in northern India, and north western Bangladesh, as well as in the southern parts of the Plateau of Tibet and western Bhutan.
This has had devastating consequences for the inhabitants of this beautiful country. Some placements include volunteering and teaching English in Nepal or working on medical and healthcare programs. Including community centres, hospitals and orphanages.
Autism is still a disorder that is widely unheard of and Nepal doesn't have the knowledge or resources to take care of children with developmental disorders. hospitals or schools and orphanages.
Caring and managing children with autism is a challenging task so mothers need support and help.
While physical disabilities can be seen and easily identified, autism is 'invisible'. The government does not even recognise autism when issuing disability identity cards rendering autistic people ineligible for state sponsored monthly allowance. And when children act aggressively, have trouble communicating or interacting with others, and engage in repetitive behaviour, parents wrongly blame bad temper or poor discipline for these symptoms. As a result, hundreds remain undiagnosed or are lumped in the 'mentally retarded' category and stigmatized for the rest of their lives. Since there is very little support for families, mothers are often forced to quit their jobs to take care of their autistic children full-time.
There is no reliable estimate for autism statistics in Nepal as autism is not known to many people. There is a lack of awareness amongst people and diagnosis on this is weak. It is estimated that there are about 2,50,000-3,00,000 Person with Autism (PWAs) in Nepal. Among them about 60,000-90,000 PWAs are severely affected. (Reference - Centre for Disease Control & Prevention, US)
Background Autism is a global phenomenon. Epidemiological studies estimate that 1–2% of children worldwide lie on the autism spectrum, with approximately 52 million individuals with autism across the globe. These estimates are largely driven, however, by prevalence estimates from high-income countries (HIC). Virtually no data exist, however, on the prevalence of autism in low-income countries! Reference - April 2016 - Volume 101 - Suppl 1 Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Abstracts of the Annual Conference, 26–28 April 2016, ACC, Liverpool.
ASD is almost 5 times more common among boys (1 in 42) than among girls (1 in 189).
Studies in Asia, Europe, and North America have identified individuals with ASD with an average of about 1%. A study in South Korea reported a prevalence of 2.6%.
Rough estimates suggest as population of Person with Autism in India as two million, US 1.5 million, China 1.1 million, UK 0.65 million, The Philippines half million, Thailand 0.18 million and Mexico about 0.15 million
Colour for Nepal is a grass roots initiative, to help raise funds to build schools and to provide disability awareness and support for the mothers and fathers who need our support and funds. The charity will be able to fund volunteers who can assist the locals facing stigma and poverty, due to lack of awareness and limited resources. Colour for Nepal has a range of coloring designs to purchase. These Colouring books are an asset for calming the mind, while also supporting a good cause, to help build the specialist school that Nepal so desperately needs.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can help support this beautiful historic country, rich in culture and so very much in need of our help and support.
Please kindly donate to this urgent appeal

This video, Voice of the Voiceless, is one of many by Project Listen – PRUkasih's community service project. It is born out of the very simple yet powerful act of listening, purposed to provide financial protection to urban poor families should the unexpected happen to their breadwinners. Every share of a Project Listen video or written story through Facebook or email will be matched with a RM1 contribution to PRUkasih.
I told this story not with the intention to inspire, but merely to narrate a story for a good cause. This is one, of my journey in Afghanistan where I spent three and a half years trying to effect some positive change to the human rights of Afghans. With no regrets, it was the best and darkest times of my professional and personal life.
Whether you are inspired or not, I urge you to share the video, more so that today is World Human Rights Day. This year's theme is MyVoiceCounts and it pays tribute to those who have demanded the right to voice their opinion without shame, threat or fear. Much as I told this story without shame, threat or fear, I hope that others, particularly the young man in my story and all others like him, are able to do the same. In the same spirit of Project Listen, I also urge the powers-that-be to listen… to all voices.
This story is dedicated to all the good souls who listened to my laments, my endless chatter and my seeming passion for human rights – and also to One Good Soul who prepped me for this video shoot. They are my project listen, without whom I would not have had the strength or courage to do my minute part for human rights.
Share this video!

I beg to differ, often people assume those at PPR is the urban poor, well many of us have to rent because we can't get a PPR house and we are the urban poor. I am a single mom, not on any aid, my job pay's me RM1600 per month and most of it is deducted, I have 2 children and the cost of raising them is high but life goes on. We can't save anywhere and neither can we stretch our income further. Those in PPR don't have to pay high rent and with good record they can own the house later.The extras can go into buying a car and expenditure. The requirements also mention berkahwin atau janda/duda. Most single parent's cases don't have a registered divorced because its costly and that money can be used as a house rental deposit and to get a PPR is extremely hard unless one is from the setinggan area. Urban poor should not be looked at the PPRs but outside it. We struggle and live with a lot less and creatively to survive and feed our kids.I suggest the data should be collected from the people who have accepted BR1M 1 because pay slip is required and there is proof to the total income rather than assumed income. Combined income is a luxury for some. Whatever little I save will be used end of the year to compensate kids back to school expenditure. In the end saving never grow, loan increases, house not owned and the debt is carried by the future generation.
PPR itself is a voice. The get all the attention from government especially but not those outside these areas.
Therefore it is not the voice of the voiceless afterall

HIGHLAND PARK-- After more than a century of serving up its iconic milkshakes and grilled cheese sandwiches, the Highland Park Soda Fountain will flow no more.
The 106-year-old iconic fast food joint with its signature far-stretching counter and round stools will fold up and close up its Knox Street location, Sunday.
"It is closing at this point for redevelopment," Co-owner Gretchen M. Williams told NewsFix. "They're redeveloping this whole Knox area."
You can blame the city's changing landscape. Developers say the space will make way for the construction of a 12-story building, featuring offices and retail shops.
Some die-hard customers, however, are not ready to see the uptown mainstay go away.
"I have been coming here since I was 10 years old," Diana Mathes Wuaring told NewsFix. "I lived about two blocks away over on Lexington. Everything changed but this was always consistently the same, which was very nice."
"My mom, when she was a little girl, she used to ride and come out here for lunch, so my four older brothers and my sister always have been coming here, so I just love coming here," Grade Schooler Juliet Dimock told NewsFix.
An online petition has garnered over 5000 signatures, and counting, as of Saturday.
People have also flocked to the restaurant's Facebook page to express their
"This should not be happening," Tommy Mawk wrote.
"This will be a very sad day for HP," Bruce Hardy wrote. "You were a huge part of my childhood."
The public has until Sunday, Sept. 9 to indulge.
"We've really enjoyed our time here, and it's been really fun to get to know a lot of the customers," Williams said.
There's no word on whether the business will try to reopen somewhere else.
