Benjamin might be the most wanted monkey in New York state.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation and Greene County prosecutors are searching for the capuchin monkey, who has gained nationwide publicity since he attacked a 53-year-old Queens woman outside a Catskill bed-and-breakfast on July 18.
Parvin Hajihossini of Flushing and her boyfriend were staying at The Kaaterskill, a century-old inn, when she went outside to take photos of the picturesque scenery.
But after she snapped a picture of Benjamin in his cage, the monkey unleashed his fury, Rich Ancowitz, the woman's Albany-based attorney, said Friday. He said the animal leapt and "just jumped on her."
The woman, an Iranian national who became a United States citizen last week, suffered a gash to her face. She is suing the owners of the inn, Allen Hirsch and his wife in Queens County Court.
Ancowitz said Allen Hirsch has fled to South America -- he believes to Venezuela -- escaping a July 23 Greene County county health order to have the animal turned over to the county veterinarian, put to death and tested for rabies.
And so the search is on for Benjamin, who has bitten at least one other person, said Lori Severino, a spokeswoman for DEC.
"The monkey and owner disappeared shortly after this incident," she said. "Locating the owner and monkey is part of the investigation."
She confirmed the search will involve the Greene County district attorney's office. Asked if officials would go to South America to find a monkey, she replied, "I can't answer that, but can say that the investigation is in full force and any leads are being carefully followed through to locate the monkey and owner."
Ancowitz placed the blame squarely on the monkey's owner.
Neither Hirsch nor his wife could be reached on Friday. According to Ancowitz, Hirsch is such an accomplished artist he once painted an official portrait of Bill Clinton.
Debbie Beers, a caretaker at the inn, said she believes the portrayal of the incident is misleading. She noted she did not witness the attack, but was there that day.
Beers was skeptical the monkey would have lunged at the woman without being provoked.
Hajihossini "was totally safe at all times," Beers said. "She didn't get hurt just walking. She went into his environment. He did not go into her environment."
She said the monkey cage is in a building outside the property. The cage, which includes a swing and rope, holds Benjamin with a tether. "It's so secure it's ridiculous," she said.
State law bans such ownership of animals such as capuchin monkeys, but Hirsch appears to be an exception. A February 2009 article in The New York Times, which focused on people who keep primates as pets, highlighted Hirsch. It described Hirsch as a successful painter in New York City who moved upstate because the city made it illegal to keep a monkey as a pet. The article stated that Hirsch's ownership of Benjamin was "grandfathered in" under the state law. Ownership was so time-consuming and demanding, the article noted, Hirsch has had a friend often look after Benjamin.
The article identified Benjamin as being 12 years old at the time. It detailed a close relationship between man and beast, telling how Benjamin once bit off two of his own diseased toes, prompting the painter to stand by his side for four months. The monkey had come to him as a sick and mistreated infant, the newspaper reported.
"You recognize something very human in his gaze, a certain understanding, a certain awareness," Hirsch was quoted saying.
Hirsch said in the article he had bathed and slept with Benjamin -- even allowed the monkey to play with his daughter.
"I never call him a pet," Hirsch said in the article. "He's a fellow creature I take care of."
Ancowitz said his client needed to have injections for rabies as a precaution. He seeks compensatory and punitive damages.
The lawsuit accused the Hirsches of reckless disregard for his client by failing to produce the monkey for the rabies test.
The woman fled persecution 15 years ago, escaping into Turkey with three small children to receive political asylum, Ancowitz said.
"She overcame a lot," he told the Times Union, "but had the misfortune of being bitten by a monkey in the very presence of the monkey's caretaker, who had his back turned at the time."
Asked how his client is coping, he said, "She's not doing well from this."

I'm looking for a replacement for the OEM luggage rack on my 2005 Connie. Most of the listings I see are for racks used to install a top case. I'm actually looking for something that will give me more options for tying gear down. Any ideas? Most of the comments I've seen for this type indicate people have made their own customized rack, but I don't have the ability (talent or tools) to do this.

Tagged: Detroit Tigers
I, who work for the Tribe feel like I'm on an island by myself. Indians can't win on Mom's day 2009!
Tonight I returned to work security at the "Jake" again tonight. Upon arriving I saw Placido Polanco tonight before the game. He was talking with another teammate as he passed me and looked like he just took serious batting practice prior to the game. He looked pumped as he passed me as I said "Hello."
I worked at Gate A tonight although I was originally scheduled for Gate C tonight as a security checkpoint. It was constantly busy for like 4 innings as people were streaming in. Tonight was Cliff Lee "2008 Cy Young" Bobblehead Night. This item clearly ran out early and rain checks were issued.
Here is a telling sign of most Clevelanders in 2009. I who want to watch baseball whenever I can had to remove myself from the breakroom as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were on throughout the break and assumedly the night as they easily won to take a 3-0 lead in the second round of the 2009 NBA Playoff Second Round. To find the Tribe I had to go down by the locker rooms to watch the game. UGH!
I returned to my post and was asked to handle the gate and watch people leave. It is getting harder and harder to wish people to have a good night seeing the team the way they are. If looks could kill, I'd be dead to some fans as they gave this cold stare that saw right through me as I wished them a good night. It has not been pretty.
It was Faith night as there was a postgame concert for all fans in the Gateway Arena. It was music I could not really understand as it sounded like a lot of noise and nothing else. This was no Kumbaya. I was there until 2300 or so adding some security for the event. The concert was still going on when I was asked to be off-duty. Okay by me, I was getting a headache. Little did I know the players were still having a closed door meeting alledgedly. I was just happy to leave. The shutout variety was getting to me two nights in a row.
I hope all mothers had a wonderful Mothers' Day. Today my wife and kids and myself spent the day together trying to cheer the Tribe to victory. NO SUCH LUCK! It was a bright cool Spring Day. Usually when I go to Progressive Field these days. There is not a buzz at the old ballpark among the fans or the players these days. Thus 11-21 is not a surprise. Howver, I admit I expected and still expect so much more. Watching this effort whether in person or not is exhausting from my perspective and it is not from exhiliration, just pure frustration.
I was happy to see three runs score in the ninth. However, my exhausted self and the fan in me was saying where was this effort for the previous eight innings. I mean all the hits without runs scored will lose it for you every day and night every time if you let it happen.
Still something about the closed door meeting had me thinking this losing streak is going to end is a big way soon. Call me crazy, very crazy but the White Sox will be paying for our latest mistakes in a big way, I believe starting Monday.
A further note: I thought it was interesting to see a bunch of ladies of all ages holding a giant Pink ribbon to help bring awareness to MLB's commitment to fighting breast cancer prior to and during the National Anthem.
Diary entries about the Indians for 5/7 and 5/8
May 7, 2009
My family and I went out to eat and enjoyed hearing the first inning of the Indians-Red Sox. When we left the car, it was more of the same as the Indians fell behind early 1-0. After dinner, we were on our way to a local mall and an Indians team shop to get tickets for Mother's Day. We thought it was wonderful how the team came up with a way to get to Wakefield. It was now 2-1 and buying tickets seemed more feasible now. I was pumped and was saying "Just hold on, guys" With this year's team, there is not that confidence from my perspective that any lead is safe with the bullpen we have.
We entered the team shop. The game was on and the Indians were able to survive the bottom of the fifth. I was telling someone about Wakefield and how he seems to be like a fine wine pitching better now than in the past. "We used to pummel him. He used to be the one that we used to win against all the time." I thought it was amazing that he could be this effective now. 2-1. Let's get home to see if this can hold up.
Then came the top of the sixth. My wife stopped off at the local wholesale club that we shop at for bottled water, milk and other items in bulk. Before getting there however, Sowers started sounding sour on the radio as he was allowing hitters to get base hit after base hit after base hit. Walking batters also was taking place. The travel time was about 10 minutes and we were not taking the highway. The score went from 2-1 to 4-2 and still no one was out. Ugh! Bring in Masa! His name reminds me too much of Mesa. OH NO! Base hit, base hit, still no one out. Listening to this as your wife went into the store made me want to call her on the cell phone and say "Could you pick up some Pepto-Bismol or Tums in bulk too?" I held off, though. What made it worse was all this went on without GETTING ANYONE OUT!
When I got home, I was amazed that the Indians were THIS BAD! 13-3 just was not what this baseball fan ever wanted to see from the 2009 team. Still, it was what it was. 11-18 was a fact, not a mirage that could be turned around so quickly it seemed.
May 8th, 2009
I was called about 12 p.m. today. It was my boss from the Indians. "Hey Aaron, can you come in tonight? Someone called off." "Sure, I can do it(I guess)." The thought of working these games these days isn't as thrilling as I imagined due to the play of the club these days. Still, perhaps, I could help them by being there.
I was thinking the impossible this season, so far on my way into "the Jake, uh, I mean Progressive Field." Perhaps, they could actually go on a streak. Streak for the Tribe this year…two in a row?" They have to get to ONE, first.
I began the night finding out that I would be at Gate C, checking bags and other items for contraband. It went fast. Having this as my first time at this gate, I was amazed of two things. First of all, this activity was a lot faster than I imagined it would be. Secondly, those fireworks sure are loud from where I was standing.
My other area where I would be stationed was away from television monitors and away from the field. The toughest moment here was hearing the crowd get so excited at Grady's "swing and a drive, waaay back" and then hearing the moan afterward when Granderson caught it. It was like someone blew up a balloon and then let it go without tying it and having it deflate" PLLLLLLLLLLL. Trying to imagine the sound of the balloon just makes me say UGH, another loss. 11-19. We lost 1-0.
After the game, I was not able to see, however, I heard the fireworks. The crowd leaving seemed down. This used to be a series where you would hear and see trash-talking from Detroit and Cleveland fans. Tonight, this swagger was not seen from either side from the fans.
However, I was also able to see some of the players tonight. Curtis Granderson was not boastful. He just was quietly confident and smiling from ear to ear. Other Tigers' players were loose, joking and having fun cracking jokes, about what I can't recall. I saw one that appeared especially jovial was Zach Miner as he was telling the others something. I saw one Indians player and one coach as they left too. Masa Kobayashi looked like he was really tired and Luis Rivera looked really down. This last observation told the story. That is all I needed to see to know the story tonight.
2009 AL Central Preview : Its a family affair!
Well I tried something different after dinner tonight. I invited my kids and wife to each write down where they thought each team would finish in the AL Central just to get differing opinions from my own perhaps.
First up was my daughter. She selected the White Sox for last, the Tigers for fourth, the Royals for third, the Indians for second and the Twins for first. I asked her why, She said the White Sox were too young, the Tigers were better offensively but their pitching was still suspect, the Royals were going to shock the division and do well, the Indians were going to fall just short and the Twins with the best pitching were going to carry the division.
Next was my son. He selected the Tigers for last because they were from a place he doesn't like and the pitching is terrible. The Royals were going to remain a little better than them. The Twins system makes sense for third, the White Sox with their pitching were better than every team except Cleveland who have a really good heart. The heart is what makes the team great. Their team effort was going to make them the best.
Finally my wife stated the Tigers were going to be in fifth. When asked why, she stated that ESPN, the Magazine put them in the cellar. She was influenced by that and agreed. The White "Sux" as she likes to call them will be fourth. When asked why, she said they are as bad as the Tigers but she thought the Tigers were going to be slightly worse. The Royals were going to be third as a very improved team. The Twins reputation is to always exceed expectations so mark them for second. The Indians were first because they were her favorite team.
Now comes my turn.
This division may be tighter than even the experts think. Each team gives reasons for why they win and why they lose the division. Still I will try to give my best reasons for why they will finish the way they do.
The White Sox will go from 1st to 5th this year in the division. I know I hear all of you saying a lot of things. Remember, this is my opinion. However, I think I have a good argument for this. This team needed 163 games to win the division last year with a lot more talent. This year they lost Crede, Griffey Jr., Nick Swisher, Javier Vazquez and Juan Uribe. Their team is younger and inexperienced. New everyday players include Chris Getz and Josh Fields. The first three starters are solid yet former Indian Bartolo Colon is #4. Bottom line, this team lost too much, too quickly if they plan to compete in 2009.

Our club exists to give children and young adults an opportunity to play basketball in a safe and organised environment. The club expects all players, parents/carers, spectators and officials to behave in a responsible, caring and positive way whilst participating in any club events.
In the event that an individual or group of individuals fail to meet these standards they will receive a verbal warning from a club official. Should they behave in way regarded as inappropriate on a second occasion, they may be temporarily or permanently excluded from club activities, at the discretion of the club committee.
Practice and game time is precious, and it is vital that as a club we make the most of any court availability. Players should arrive at the venue at least 10 minutes before the start time, and should be ready to join in as soon as the session begins. This includes wearing the correct clothing and footwear, and storing any of your personal belongings in a safe place.
The organisation of club training sessions, games and events depends upon coaches and volunteers giving their time. Everyone involved in the club deserves the respect of other members. Disrespect, bullying, fighting and intimidation is not acceptable, in any circumstances.
Referees and officials have a difficult task to perform and you could not play the game without them. They are there to enforce the rules of play but they cannot always be right. Accept bad calls graciously. Abuse of referees is unacceptable behaviour. Players who consistently dispute decisions or do not accept bad decisions are bad sports. If you disagree with a decision, have your coach, captain or manager approach the referee during a break or after the game, in an appropriate manner.
We understand that players have different levels of ability and some excel at parts of the game that others find difficult. The coaches objective is to ensure that every player benefits from every session, and makes improvement (however small) each time they participate. To make this possible, every player must try their hardest and give the coaching staff their full attention. Players who do not pay attention or do not put in maximum effort may be asked to sit out part or all of a session.
Everyone wins and loses at some time. Be a fair winner and a good loser.
Your coach has been appointed to coach your team because they have certain abilities and experience. They have also undergone training to ensure that you get the best coach that you can commensurate with your skill levels. Apart from skills training, your coach can provide you with helpful advice on all aspects of playing basketball. Make the most of the opportunity provided to you to work with your coach to have a happy and successful experience in basketball.
Facilities and equipment cost money and will only function properly if kept in good order. Ensure that you do not abuse anything provided for use, as not only can equipment be damaged but serious injury can occur.
A healthy lifestyle is a vital component of being a successful sports participant. If you eat a balanced diet, avoiding food and drinks that are clearly not good for you, your body will be ready for the exertions of high energy sports, such as basketball. Regular hydration is vital during practice sessions and games, and the club recommend that all players only drink water during this time. The club does not allow any carbonated (fizzy), canned or energy drinks to be consumed during our activities.

3) Make it visible: Use a bright strip of ribbon or tape to wrap around your case for easy identification when collecting your baggage.
4) Security: Ensure that the zips are strong on the cases and that you have good quality padlocks on the checked in baggage. Keep a spare one for your hand baggage as well. Combination locks are useful if you don?t want to have the hassle of looking after keys.
5) Useful items to consider packing: Money belt, spare specs/contact lenses, chargers or batteries, universal adapter plug, a pen, pack of cards, small sewing kit medi-kit: plasters and headache tablets

It has been well known for many years now that hackers are able to enter every single computer and steal the personal information of people, even though they may use real good antivirus software.
The truth is that these people are always trying to get updated with all new development and evolution, when it comes to the technology and sometimes they seem to be even better than those people who work in crucial places in big companies that are involved with anti viruses.
In a recent interview of Brian Dye, the Senior Vice President of Symantec, he has admitted that hackers have won the anti-virus wars. He has also said that the security tools that they use are not able to protect websites from them and that they focus not on how to find them, but they are trying to use a better security protection as a whole.
Piero DePaoli, the director of product marketing for Endpoint, Messaging and Web Security of Symantec, has said: "Antivirus is the foundation for catching known threats. But, a majority of the things we see today are new and unknown and specifically designed to evade your traditional antivirus." This definitely reflects reality nowadays at a global scale.
According to a recent report, it has been proven that the 2013 was the year that turned a lot of people against hackers. In 2013, the percentage of hacking attacks reached 62 per cent and this percentage is equal to the number of 552 million of people.
This means that 552 million people were hacked and their personal information was not personal any more. This is a huge number, any way you look at it. The lack of privacy and anonymity can lead to severe damage and of course makes people feel uncertain as to what they can include on the Internet.
If you take into consideration the fact that most businesses nowadays have gone online and that websites have been increasing exponentially all over the globe, you can see why it is critical to find the proper cure against hacking. With the number of hacking attempts and with the overall websites that have suffered from attacks at least once in the past, there is a pessimistic future outlined.
This phenomenon does not mean that internet security companies such as Symantec will stop trying to do their best when it comes to anti-viruses. On the contrary, they have concentrated more on a complete, thorough defensive line regarding businesses and websites exposed to the web.
They have identified the need for such a complete, integrated solution rather than an anti-virus program that fails to do what is needed. The environment is hostile, but with the right handling and with the cooperation of the experts in the field of Internet Security things will only get better.

I've never belonged to any movement, but I've wondered, how do movements or schools really form?
Like schools of philosophy, or movements like hippies?
Do people simply realize that they think "the same way" and then put a label on it?

I've never belonged to any movement, but I've wondered, how do movements or schools really form?
Like schools of philosophy, or movements like hippies?
Do people simply realize that they think "the same way" and then put a label on it?
This has to do with human nature. Despite the fact that reality is incredibly nuanced and infinitely complex, we as humans like to be able to categorize our own self and things or people around us. Saying that you subscribe to a particular ideologue gives one a certain sense of stability, which is something all humans crave.
As much as we might like to say that everyone is creative, unique, and can thing for themselves, it is unfortunately not true. The few people who are able to be creative, and think independently gain followings for those who are not. It is very easy to be persuaded by someone with a well thought out ideology, it is very hard to come up with that well thought out ideology.
Having a society that functions this way does benefit from an increase in "order" within itself.
To answer the last part of your question: It's not really a matter of realization, but more of being convinced. There are very few beliefs that come from belonging to a movement that cannot be logically disputed, and it is very easy to change your mind on such matters.
Another way of putting this question, why do some ideas create a consensus of outlook, with an agreed set of goals?
Movements identify a set of ideas or precepts which characterise the situation. They then propose a set of attitude solutions.
As people become aquainted with the ideas, their thinking and discussion points gather around the subjects and start to fill out the wider universe of consequences. Soon this group becomes larger as more are sucked in and a movement is born. You see this happening all the time, simply because it takes time a effort to go from introduction, acceptance, analysis, experience, expansion, disillusionment, alternatives, cynicism, new ideas.
We are linear in our thinking so the process can take 5 minutes or years, and the level of dedication from jokes to committed life threatening cause.
Some have argued critical thinking is the best weapon against the downside of movements, so the cycle is shortened between the propaganda to seeing the truth or how it works out.

Pros and Non Pros – Athletes and their Non-profits26 02 2013
Athletes, like everyone else, use non-profits as a way to stay connected to their community as well as make connections that may help them in their personal and business lives. We cannot draw conclusions on an athlete's contribution by simply looking at their non-profit, because they do so much to help raise funds with their appearances and recommendations. Rather than assess an athletes personal character, this serves more as an insight into how they handle their business. Many athletes are broke…and so are the causes supposedly supported by their non-profits.
The Boston Globe recently published an article on athletes and their non-profits. Some athletes, like Alex Rodriguez and Josh Beckett and Anquan Boldin, have high profile non-profit organizations that spend more than 75% of the money they raise on overhead, and staging and promoting fundraising events – and only 1-25% on actually funding causes and activities related to their foundation's mission.
A good non-profit will spend at least 65%-75% on the cause and the rest on salaries, overhead, event management etc.
3 of the good ones highlighted were:
Athlete: Alex Smith – NFL Quarterback and 2005 1st overall pick
Nonprofit: Alex Smith Foundation
Mission: Helping foster teens attend college and transition to adulthood
Funds raised 2008-10: $839,244
Percent to charitable causes: 91%
Athlete: Carmelo Anthony – NBA player / Olympian
Nonprofit: Carmelo Anthony Foundation
Mission: Education and recreation
Funds raised 2008-10: $3.3 million
Percent to charitable causes: 87%
Athlete: Steve Young – NFL Quarterback / ESPN Analyst
Nonprofit: Forever Young Foundation for Children
Mission: Academic, athletic, and therapeutic support for children facing physical, emotional, and financial challenges
Funds raised 2008-10: $6.2 million
Percent to charitable causes: 75%

Break it down, Roll it up – 2002-2003 Chicago Bulls12 02 2013
Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by nearly 100 million Americans… and maybe some Europeans
The Bill Cartwright-coached '02 Bulls won 30 games and still had the 5th highest attendance. It was recently revealed that there were guys smoking weed before games.
Interesting Facts
Corie "Pass the" Blount was once arrested for possession of 29 pounds of marijuana. Deputies also found another 7 pounds of marijuana, 3 guns and $29,500 in cash. Blount was charged with felony drug possession. He told the judge that it was all for personal use, in which the judge came up with a quick comeback stating "Cheech and Chong would have had a hard time smoking that much."

On Thursday, 13 people were killed when a van plowed through crowded sidewalks on Barcelona's famed Las Ramblas. Later that day, five men in an Audi A3 sedan plowed through pedestrians in Cambrils, about 70 miles south of Barcelona, with one woman reportedly killed in the attack, according to CNN. More than 100 people were injured in the dual attacks. Police have arrested four suspects in connection so far, while another five were shot and killed in Cambrils, USA Today reports.
Additionally, one person was killed when a house exploded on Wednesday evening in Alcanar, about 60 miles south of Cambrils. Police are currently linking the explosion to the two vehicle attacks, and the suspects in Cambrils were reportedly wearing fake explosive belts, according to The Telegraph. CNN, meanwhile, says police "are working on the hypothesis that these attacks were being prepared in that house," with the notion that a larger attack involving explosives was originally planned, but the explosion Wednesday forced two improvised vehicle attacks. ISIS has said the attackers were "soldiers of the Islamic State," but has not directly claimed responsibility for the attack.
Although Spain had largely avoided the spate of terror attacks scattered across Europe over the last few years—particularly in 2017—the country is still home to the worst Islamist terrorist attack in European history, the 2004 Madrid train bombings, which killed 191 and injured another 1,800.
On Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson confirmed one American was among those killed in Spain, but U.S. officials were working to confirm any other dead or injured American citizens. Last night, the State Department told Americans to avoid unnecessary travel to the area.
Additionally, the State Department advised anyone in Spain to get in direct touch with friends and family or to update social media accounts to confirm their safety.
No other announcements have been made so far, but in May, the State Department issued a travel alert for Americans traveling to Europe that lasts through September 1, 2017. At the time, the State Department said, attacks in France, Russia, Sweden, and the UK "demonstrate that the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham (ISIS or Da'esh), al-Qa'ida, and their affiliates have the ability to plan and execute terrorist attacks in Europe."
An alert is not to be confused with a travel warning, which advises on "instances such as civil war or political instability," and can last for years.
Flights were continuing as scheduled, according to Express.
As of Friday, Las Ramblas had reopened, but overturned chairs, scattered napkins, and makeshift vigils remained as reminders of the previous day's attacks, according to CNN. The generally crowded street was "a ghost town," USA Today reports, but shopkeepers were reopening and hanging black ribbons in defiance of the violence and to remember victims.
The paper also reports that most major cruise lines planned to call at Barcelona as previously scheduled, despite the violence on Thursday. Those included Norwegian, and MSC, while a Royal Caribbean spokesperson told the paper the company had not yet made a decision regarding imminent Barcelona calls.
Spanish newspaper El Periódico reports the CIA had warned the Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia's police force, that Barcelona was at risk as a target of jihadists nearly two months ago.
For those who are already traveling in Spain, or plan to in the immediate future, the State Department advises monitoring local media, along with taking these safety precautions:
Spanish police, in the meantime, are on the hunt for the suspected van driver, Moussa Oukabir.

ABSTRACT Autonomous smart windows may be integrated with a stack of active components, such as electrochromic devices, to modulate the opacity/transparency by an applied voltage. Here, we describe the processing and performance of two classes of visibly-transparent photovoltaic materials, namely inorganic (ZnO thin film) and fully organic (PCDTBT:PC70BM), for integration with electrochromic stacks. Sputtered ZnO (2% Mn) films on ITO, with transparency in the visible range, were used to fabricate metal-semiconductor (MS), metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS), and p-i-n heterojunction devices, and their photovoltaic conversion under ultraviolet (UV) illumination was evaluated with and without oxygen plasma-treated surface electrodes (Au, Ag, Al, and Ti/Ag). …

In an interview with The Sun this week, Shayne talks about the pressure on actors to "get in shape".
He said: "I'd rather stick to keeping my shirt on. It would take a lot to get me to take my kit off now. I'm happy just being in the factory with my shirt on. I'm just not into that whole sixpack thing. I think there is so much pressure to get in shape nowadays. I am just happy doing what I'm doing."
Shayne is now dad to his and girlfriend Sophie Austin's first child, Willow.

Review – Franco Manca ChiswickPosted: April 12, 2012 Filed under: Eating London | Tags: cheap eats, Chiswick, franco manca, Italian, panouzzi, Pizza, wine Leave a comment
I must admit I knew about Franco Manca for almost two years before visiting for the first time last week. It's not that I don't like pizza or that Chiswick (or Brixton) is very far from where I live. What happened is that since I've moved to the UK I have not yet encountered a decent pizza, let alone a decent Italian pizza (there is an exception to this – an amazing butternut squash and caramelised onion pizza at bar room bar in Birmingham two years ago… unfortunately it was a special and I never tasted it again)*. I mean I lived in Brussels for almost ten years where Italian restaurants and amazing simple pizzas are a common sight in every neighbourhood. Even in Lisbon, a place not wildly known for its breadth of Italian restaurants, I can direct you to at least 3 very good pizzerias. And so… after three years of failing to find any good pizzas, I had kind of forgotten about it. The other day, while shopping around Chiswick High Road I passed Franco Manca and saw lots of people having what seemed like great pizza in their outside tables. My faith in pizza was almost restored and I decided to come back later in the week… and I am so happy I did.
We were greeted by a huge pizza oven and hams and garlic hanging from the ceiling and were seated quickly. We started with the two panouzzi (flame baked bread) – one with Serrano ham from Brindisa and the other with artichokes, mozzarella and sundried tomatoes. While the ingredients were fresh and incredibly tasty the bread was more flame than baked. However, I think I would have this again just for the toppings. This was followed by a glass of Madregalo Rosso (a combination of Sangiovese and Montepulciano, two of my favourite grapes) which was very good – if a bit too light – and great value at £3.30. We quickly moved on the main event of the night, the pizza…
Mr Salted Cod went for a tasty Ham, Mushroom, Ricotta and Mozzarella pizza, while I stuck with more classic flavours in what can only be described as puttanesca on a pizza – olives, capers, anchovies and tomato – with the addition of mozzarella. As you can see in the picture this pizza ticks all the 'perfect pizza' boxes: fresh and simple ingredients, puffy crust, charred bits and thin base. My 'puttanesca-like' pizza was incredible – a perfect mix of salty from the anchovies and olives and sweet from the tomato sauce and the cheese. While I liked the other pizza too, I prefer to stick to more classic flavours when it comes to a tomato-based pizza (I just think it goes better with the sauce). On top of this, this pizzas tick the extra 'perfect pizza' box, price! At less than £7 each this is what I expect a pizza to be – fresh ingredients, thin crust and an acceptable price tag, just like in Italy, Belgium or Portugal. So thank you Franco Manca for restoring my faith in pizza in the UK – I feel like this will become my local.

Rating: 9 meatballs out of 10.
*Also I must admit that I have had some very good pizzas from
Osteria Basilico, but these are quite expensive and I only have them as a takeaway so don't really count as a great pizza.
EDIT: Osteria Basilico and Basilico the delivery service are not the same, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Homemade Pizza – The Salted Cod cooks for the MeatballPosted: February 5, 2012 Filed under: Recipes | Tags: caramelised onion, chorizo, goats cheese, mozzarella, parma ham, Pizza, tomato sauce 11 Comments
Today I will be hosting a dinner at my house with, amongst others, Miss Meatball herself as my guest. Therefore, today you are getting both a recipe and a review of the meal. This post should be called: how to make a perfect pizza, then go on to burn your friend's finger, destroy your oven, cook pizza in a frying pan with a wok on top, and then revive the oven and make really good pizzas again. So, skip the burning your friend/destroying the oven bit and make really easy home-made pizza.
- Self-raising flour (good flour!)
- Warm water
- Olive Oil
- Salt
This pizza dough needs to rise for a few hours, so it's best made the night before or the day before, you want it to rise as much as you can. I don't really measure anything for this recipe and just kind of add as I go. You should probably be doing something like 200g of flour and 30cl of water for about two big pizzas, but it's easier to measure it by looking at it. So you start by putting the flour in a bowl and making a little hole in the middle. Then you start adding the warm water, little by little and mixing in the flour and the water with a wooden spoon. Do this until the dough is mixed and can be kneaded with your hands.
Move to a dry surface and knead for 10 mins, adding salt little by little so it mixes well in the dough while you're kneading. Form the dough into a ball-shape and rub olive oil all over. Put it a bowl which has previously been rubbed with olive oil, cover with a tea towel or any fabric you have in hand and let it rest for a minimum of three hours. While the dough is rising go buy some toppings and start making some tomato sauce. Our first pizza was made of tomato sauce, parma ham, caramelised onions and goats cheese, so I'll give the recipe for the sauce and the caramelised onions.
For the sauce you will need:
- 1 tin of good quality chopped/whole tomatoes (if you're a student like me it's a good idea to buy them in bulk when they're on a deal at your local supermarket as it really makes a difference to have good quality tinned tomatoes).
- half a glass of red wine (plus more to drink while you're making the sauce).
- olive oil
- garlic, finely chopped (as much as you wish, I usually go for three cloves).
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- good quality tomato paste (they have some really good ones in waitrose, and they last forever).
- salt & pepper
Start by chopping the onions and frying them in a little bit of olive oil, on a medium temperature, for about 10 mins until they become soft. Add the chopped garlic, turn the heat up a bit and fry, while constantly stirring (so the garlic doesn't burn) for about 3 minutes, just enough for the garlic to release its flavour. Turn the heat up a bit more, add the wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Add the chopped tomatoes, half a glass of water, and a tablespoon of tomato paste. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to very low, put a cover on and simmer for as long as you can. Season with salt and pepper, and maybe add a bit of sugar if the sauce tastes too acidic. This sauce gets better with time, so ideally you want to cook it for 1h30 hours. You can also double or triple the recipe and freeze it. While the sauce is bubbling on the side you can start making the caramelised onions.
You will need:
- 3 red or yellow onions, or shallots if you're feeling fancy (white onions don't really work)
- A non-stick pan
- Olive oil
- some balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze (this is optional).
Start by chopping the onions into strips, it doesn't need to look perfect. Fry them in olive oil on a high/medium heat for 5 minutes then lower the heat to the slowest setting on your hob and let it cook by itself, stirring from time to time. You can add the balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze to accelerate the process or you can just let it cook until it looks dark and well caramelised on its own.
When all this is done and the dough has doubled in size, you can start kneading again (or you can find someone with strong arms and hands aka. Miss Meatball herself to do it for you). Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Then you need to start rolling the dough using a rolling pin (or an old wine bottle if you're a lazy student like me). Roll it as thin as you can and transfer it to a sheet of tin foil. Your oven should be heated up to its maximum temperature, to simulate the heat of a pizza oven (although, if you have an oven like mine, it might overheat and die after half an hour, leaving you to make pizza on a frying pan and burning your friend's hand in the process).
Start spreading the tomato sauce and add your toppings, leaving the cheese for last so it melts on top of everything. Now you can either put it in like that or fold it to make a calzone. Leave it in the oven until it's crispy and all the toppings look cooked/melted. Serve with lots of wine and special Belgian beers 🙂
Now Miss Meatball's review: This dough and sauce was delicious, so I am only going to comment on it by saying that this will be my dough recipe of choice for making home-made pizza next time. The sauce was dark and rich, and the dough resulted in thin, crispy beauties coming out of the oven (albeit in a asymmetrical sense perhaps). My favourite topping was the first mix, as the smooth goats cheese went so well against the salty crispiness of the parma ham and the sweetness of the caramelised onions. Drizzling a little bit of truffle oil on top of it made it the winner by me. However, the other guests seemed keener on the calzone with chorizo and lots and lots of mozzarella. It being in the shape of a calzone made it gooey and sumptuous and not the slightest dry. All in all, lovely thin pizzas. And making them provided us with plenty of action and entertainment.

It's August and for many, many people that means going back to school. The teachers have already started preparing their classrooms and their lesson plans. The kids are squeezing in the last few days of summer play and good times – not that school days aren't good times, but you know.
No back to school preparation can be complete without many playings of Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall. Enjoy the video. That weird thing at the end that rings and has some sort of wheel on it is a telephone – a really old telephone.

🖤Dear T.S.P. Family,
🖤I made this presentation in response to a comment that was left in regards to an article I posted entitled, "Black People, It's Time To Get Armed." (https://goo.gl/8o3uEK), which expressed the need for black people to take advantage of their right to bear arms for protection, in these times of increasing racially motivated violence.
🖤As has been the case historically and in the modern day, black people have been encouraged by other groups to seek peace and understanding with those who desire to mistreat them, to turn the other cheek when they've been systematically harmed over the span of centuries, and to not take a proactive stance in anticipating and expecting that violence will be done to them or their loved ones while living under a state of systematic racism.
🖤Often, I hear individuals express, if we could just all learn to love one another, get along somehow show those who desire to brutalize black people that African Americans are just as human as white people, there is some way to "love" away the system of white supremacy.
🖤My question to that sentiment: What is love? Should black people love Trump when he continuously enacts policies to the detriment of the black community? Should we love private prison investors who are the drivers and movers of black males being disproportionately locked over any other demographic over, in many cases, non-violent offenders? Should we love the top percentile of white families who hoard the majority of this countries wealth–wealth that was built up through free African chattel slavery and Jim Crow which didn't allow African Americans effectively compete economically?
🖤What's love got to do with it?
🖤To me, as I state in the podcast, "love" equals "justice." Are people ready to advocate and put in the kind of work it takes to bring about that justice?
🖤I argue that, while there are individuals (exceptionally few) who are willing to unlearn an unjust and unfair ideology and who want to understand how they've been complicit in it, who genuinely want to fully understand how the system functions, and who want to put it in the work required towards challenging systematic racism, there are those who have never been and who will never be interested in hearing out the other side and who have committed themselves in maintaining systematic mistreatment.
For the latter group of people, we need to study how they move, expect them to try to attempt to harm us, whether by calling the cops on us or random attacking us and to prepare to protect ourselves and the ones we love.

Probably you do like over viewing all the pictures from the red carpet and commenting on the style of the celebrities. Then there is the ceremony and people come out to announce awards and it is fun and touching and everything you can imagine. We all love the whole thing going on and we probably will continue watching it and imagining being there or walking the red carpet. But no matter what you imagine, you can never know what is really going on there, unless you were present. Do you want all the secrets? Beverly Hilton Hotel Want to become part of the whole ceremony and after-party process? The best way to achieve that is by being a guest at the hotel. You should just book a room in advance. Then wander casually (ot far better dressed for success) through the lobby. 4 hours early? When do you think everything around the red carpet starts? When the celebrities arrive? No, not really. All of the journalist are in place at least 4 hours earlier. There is loads of security. Everyone important except the nominated actors is in place around hour and a half earlier. Arrival times Have you ever imagined being in one of those limos or sports cars, arriving, looking yourself for the last time in the mirror and stepping out the car with some beautiful shoes? I know I have! But the celebs walking the red carpet, can't just hop on a car and arrive whenever you feel like it. The whole arriving times is well planned out further back in time before the event. Publicist and event planners decide those things. The biggest the stars – the latest they arrive. The ones most talk is expected on appear in front of everyone's eyes just right before the show. Dinner/no dinner At some of the award shows there is no food served or any drinks for that matter (the Oscars are like that). At other event though – like the Golden globes, there is dinner served and champagne and chocolates are going around the room the whole time. Noticed the difference in everyone's mood during the two different events? Now you know why. Commercial breaks equal craziness While there are commercial people go around the room and talk and socialize. It is such a mess that there is a person on loudspeaker who has to make everyone get back into their seats. Sometime around the end of the show there is a party going on in the room, rather than any ceremony. The Golden Globe statues Well, they are just lined up on a table right by the stage. There is no heavy security or anything. They just stand alone until it is time to award someone with them. Well with a bit more luck of you being backstage you could potentially touch a Golden Globe award! Image : Fotolia award show celebrties behind camera 2015-01-14 san

What should be 3 feet of lighting on my kitchen ceiling. Someday…..
The testers arrived, quite serious and hungry.
Mini Rice Croquettes with a super delicious Wasabi Miso Dipping Sauce
A refreshing Jicama Salad
And fantastic Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
Here is our table full of yummies. I found it interesting to see the soup bowls with varying degrees of DIY garnish.
I made myself a nice plate to go with my soup.
I sometimes wish I had the time to write a cookbook, but it's much more fun to test and eat and let someone else do all the work. We will all certainly enjoy The Urban Vegan: 250 Street-Smart, Animal-Free Recipes when it's released!
Now for cake! I must have been out of my mind sick to have waited an entire day to cut into the Daring Bakers Caramel Cake. It is totally delicious and so moist. The crumb is tight, yet the texture is light. And we all really really liked the frosting, which we don't normally like, and even dipped into the frosting shot I made! Look how lovely.

Fed Up With The Fad? What It Really Means To Be Gluten-Free

When you find yourself on a low carb diet, then selecting a low carb recipe is vital in sticking to your food plan. This can simply prove less expensive too, as many of the producers are benefiting from the low carb craze and pricing their low carb recipe gadgets and meals increased than what they're really price. It's suitable as soon as you start to re-introduce the higher carb fruits like bananas.
We have already tried a number of of the recipes right here – and found them straightforward to comply with and tasty to eat. Place back in the oven and prepare dinner for an extra 10 minutes or till the cheese is golden brown. I have appeared by way of this ebook and there are loads of recipes in it. I definately wont be short of one thing to eat. DIRECTIONS: Pound the coarse floor black pepper over all surfaces of an eight rib roast using the butt of your palm or the smooth side of a meat cleaver. You'd should make the sauce with coconut milk for it to move Primal-Paleo muster, but that's doable.
As an alternative of including a full photograph for each recipe, I've created collages and listed the recipes under for quicker shopping. Placed second half-slice bread and add remaining berries to top and dot with cream cheese. Because the term low" is extremely subjective, you will have to browse past a few recipes that don't fit your individual private low-carb definition. You can either have plain burgers or why not put some stilton cheese on top of the burgers, for the last 10 minutes of cooking and let it melt – it makes the burgers that further scrumptious. Italian Dressing Grilled Hen is the easiest and juiciest chicken you will ever make.
Slice into 6 servings and serve heat with espresso or cool and add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream when serving in case you like. The Low Carb Grocery explains which vitamins and vitamins you may be lacking and why, and affords ideas of meals and products to meet your dietary needs. While most root veggies and fruits aren't often thought-about to be low carb," the majority are nonetheless very nutrient-wealthy, low in sugar general, and good additions to any food regimen.
Mix squash, onion and spices.. cook on low for 10 minutes stir in broth and prepare dinner one other 15 Barely and pour 1/3 into blender and mix until smooth, repeating till all of the combination is blended. I don't eat meat, which is all the time a drawback for me when ordering low carb cookbooks, as most of heavy on the meat, but there are lots of fish and vegetable dishes which I've managed to cook dinner. Low carb dwelling is just as healthy and nutritious as another sort of dietary plan, and might even benefit those who endure from sure illnesses, resembling diabetes. This dish looks spectacular, however it is super quick and simple to make, particularly with the few small shortcuts I take. The resulting coating was the closest to my previous excessive-carb flour coated hen I was astounded!

Well, I survived my first week (technically a week and a half, but only four days of that was with students) as a middle school librarian!
This past Monday we didn't have students, and because of an annoying scheduling fluke with day care (H will go to an actual day care center on Mondays) he ended up coming to work with me that day.
He definitely has a village that loves him and wants to help raise him! Between all of the ladies at church, and everyone at school, he's a very cared-about little kiddo.
Speaking of being loved, I'm a pretty lucky lady. R, who (for those of you who might not know) teaches at the same school as I, has always surprised me with flowers on the first day of school when I go to a new school. Tuesday was no exception as he employed two of the school's administrators and various other staff members to distract me so that he could load up my desk with welcoming gifts:
The only word I can come up with for not being a classroom teacher is "surreal." The first day, in particular, was a little bizarre to me; I kept feeling like a guest in someone else's school, like I was just visiting and helping out before going back to my own classroom. The children seemed so tiny and young. I ended the day without having lost my voice. Nothing about it felt like the first day of school to me. I really loved being a classroom teacher, and it's going to be quite an adjustment to slip into a role that feels a little bit more administrative.
As the week went on, things got busier and busier, and I found my rhythm. It's still weird, but it has gone from feeling surreal to feeling pretty nice. I'm getting excited (all over again) about some ideas and upcoming events. I love my coworkers. And let me just say how nice it is to be going BACK to a school I already know, rather than going to an entirely new place. I always struggle to find my place socially, and here I feel like the worst of that is over.
One of my amazing assistants, B, came up with the idea of highlighting the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington in our end-cap displays. I found several MLK biographies and books about the March and about the Civil Rights Movement. I'm not sure if any of the kids got it, but I thought it was pretty neat and a subtle way to bring current events into the library.
We also made a display of some of the newest books in the library, which gave me some practice in reviewing past orders. I'm having a lot of on-the-job, on-the-fly training in different programs and systems and databases, and surely am thankful for my staff and their expertise and patience.
There's SO much to learn. As the Library Media Specialist, I'm not only the "book person" but also Level One Tech Support for the school. Everyone comes to us with their basic technology problems. One day, for example, we had four distinct problems with document cameras; we have frequent printer problems, issues with projectors, and — thanks to a district-wide software update — questions about how to use Microsoft 365. And it's not as if we have consistent equipment from one classroom to the next, so I have to learn 3-4 different solutions to every problem. On top of that, of course, there's just simply all of the details of working the library. No chance to get bored here!
It could all be a little intimidating, but honestly, nothing else is quite as intimidating as the faculty restroom nearest the library. What if it occurred unexpectedly? Are there alarms? Consequences? Such anxiety!
Even if I didn't love my job (which I do) it would be worth it, though, to be able to walk in my front door at the end of the day and be able to spend my evening with Henry instead of grading mountains of papers or planning hours of instruction. I guess I ought to feel a little wussy or something for saying that, and I certainly don't mean to downplay how surprisingly difficult librarianship is, but you know, I'm just at a different point in my life right now, and I've never believed in prioritizing work over family.
I don't have to explain "leaving my baby to go to work" to anyone who has ever had to do it, and if you haven't, I'm not sure I could do it justice. It wasn't quite as hard as I'd feared, probably because he was staying with family — we are SO lucky. But it wasn't what I'd call easy, and it made for a less enthusiastic back-to-school on my part. I've also found pumping to be (predictably) a PITA, but I might write more about that later. One thing about it: I'm a lot better about getting my work done within contract hours so that I can leave on time, now that I have a baby to get home to!
Final verdict: I'm happy. It is different, and I miss CHS. But it is different in good ways, and it is right for me right now. I'm going to be challenged, I'm going to get to know a lot of great books and great kids, and hey, maybe I'll even do some good for the universe. I've already decided that in addition to my Nerdfighteria mantra (don't forget to be awesome) I'm going to bring in a little Jeffiness and make it my mission to make the library a place of sweetness and light for my students (all 1,000+ of them!) and my fellow staff members.
Oh, and I'm going to be eating my elephant one bite at a time, too. Mmmm, elephant. 🙂

Connection: Thomas Hart Benton
The "Roaring 20s," America's "Jazz Age," was a "Golden" period in US history, when everything seemed to be shining of a golden hue and the country was reaping the benefits of industrial capitalism. It is pieces like Thomas Benton's "America Today" that remind us that despite the lack of color film, this decade was full of color—and as it seemed to many, more so than any other time before.
This prosperity and indulgence was not universal, however; it was built on the backs of those working in factories and on railroads. The mechanization of industry did not reduce the need for manpower because it increased production levels to previously unimaginable yields. As The New York Times notes, Benton's mural conveys the hard work and struggles of groups all over the country, from Western farmers and factory workers in Northeast cities. The seemingly random yet precise and organized divisions within and between the panels highlight contrasts between these different individuals while also allowing the viewer to see each component as one piece in a whole system—in this case, the mural, but metaphorically, a factory and then, by extension, the American economy. The piece accurately and carefully visualizes the new assembly line system, with many different workers all doing small tasks at once to create a finished product. Benton's work definitely displays these multiple moments in time.
In his connection post to the Armory Show article, Davis also talks about how a painting by Marchel Duchamp—Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (1912)—also visualized multiple moments in time in a two-dimensional work. Duchamp painted a figure as if it was painted many times, at different angles and places along the staircase. While it was from a slightly earlier time, Duchamp's painting was part of the lead-up to the Roaring 20s and all of their golden glory. Davis noted that the critic Julian Street called the golden painting "an explosion in a shingle factory," once again touching on the industrial nature of the early-20th century.

A small white car flew over Iraq's terrain toward Special Operations Platoon Commander Jake Harriman.
A man emerged from the vehicle, and ran toward Harriman and his men, waving his arms in the air. Harriman fired several warning shots over head. It was 5 a.m. and the shots whizzed through the air.
He knew this crazed man was a suicide bomber.
Harriman, now the CEO and founder of Nuru International, used this terrifying moment of his military career as inspiration to created Nuru to help make a difference in war-torn countries that need assistance after a regime has been tossed out.
During that terrifying moment he described to us, in the distance, a larger army vehicle pulled behind the bomber. They were waiting to ensure he finished the job.
At the last second, the bomber veered off course and toward the car where his family was. Before he could flee and make an escape, the Iraqi army had shot his wife and two children dead.
Harriman watched as the man wept. And wept. He did not have any choices that morning in the conflict-stricken country of Iraq, circa 2003.
"I saw the heartbreak and helplessness in his eyes," Harriman said. "And I never wanted to see that again."
After that tour, Harriman, now 37, left the military and went back to graduate school. There he created and found ways to fund Nuru International.
Nuru assimilates into countries to fix some of the basic issues they suffer after war has come through.
- Education: Nuru helps communities set up writing workshops, reading hours, and a drop-in center that allows children to come in for extra help to increase their literacy levels. This is run by the local community to supplement current government projects.
- Agriculture: Nuru teaches the locals how to deal with loans, how to maximize their farming efforts, and stabilize the harvests.
- Water: Nuru facilitates ideas from the locals that help them create a purifying system for the water.
Nuru International spawned from Harriman's research and became an institution that teaches the struggling population of a civilization how to take control of their economy, water, education, and agriculture with ideas they form themselves, in a way that doesn't leave them reliant and dependent on the western helpers because they run it themselves.
"When the military comes in and removes a regime, you also remove the infrastructure," Harriman said. "Things fell apart in Afghanistan because we didn't simultaneously install a new infrastructure when creating a new regime.
"If you can stabilize the poor, who suffer the most during this time, and give them choices during the regime shift, you can effectively facilitate change."
Harriman set out to give people choices and to give them freedom when their government collapses, so a situation like he saw in Iraq didn't happen again.
"We took a holistic approach to the situation," Harriman said. "If you want to save kids from malnutrition, you have to also clean up their water, and with out education they have no real future.
"The model Nuru provides is just a foundation. The leadership we get from the people in the community is the key to what makes it work."
Nuru plans to set up in politically unstable and volatile cultures, helping communities start fresh in the future. But while the model is in its infancy, the nonprofit chose Kenya to start and launched the pilot program there in 2008.
The program lasts five years, consisting of multiple stages. When Nuru arrives, they scout potential leaders from the community. Nuru's mission and success rests on the leaders emerging to not only care for their community with out the help of the westerners, but being able to move to another location and duplicate the process with out Nuru.
"I wanted to tap into the craze that westerns go on these trips to Africa as a part of a vacation, almost," Harriman said. "These people don't need westerners to build a building. It creates an unhealthy dynamic of dependency when westerns come in like that."
After recruitment, comes development. The first six months is a probation, and Nuru assesses the workers. No one is paid during this time.
Nuru provides access to farm inputs, loans, fertilizer, seeds, and credit to the farmers. Nuru supervises the use of these things and educates the workers on the skills need to use them effectively.
So the western staff initiates the program, but these things become Kenyan-run businesses, and the profit and revenue are all self-generated.
Leaders emerged from the local population: a field worker named Milika was among the most inspiring stories. She had one acre of land and was making about seven bags of grains to feed herself and her six children. She enrolled in Nuru's agricultural project, followed the guidelines and started making 18 bags on that same one acre.
She stuck with the program and her peers recommended her to field officer. She now manages more than 500 workers.
"Milika has an understanding of the community, so she can do her job in a way only she can," Harriman said. "Seeing her unlock her potential has meant the world to me."
To prove that Nuru's model actually works, they have to pull out of Kenya by 2014. The United Nations is interested in partnering with them, but Nuru must go into another location for two more years to prove the plan works.
As the company grows they hope to be in more and more volatile places. The second district they choose will be run by the current leaders from that emerged from the Kenyan community and with some of the revenue from the project.
"These folks that we are working with are incredibly brave. Poverty can be solved. We can beat this, but must include poor apart of the solution in a real way where they can own it. We in the west don't have all the answers. A lot of the answers is in their background and that's what Nuru is trying to extract."

Staging a fire rescue inside the Black Maria was no easy feat and this short may have used members of a local fire department. Films of fire departments in action were among the most popular subjects in the 1890s. The R that appears in the frame indicates that the picture was made under the auspices of Raff & Gammon, primarily for domestic distribution.

This essay seeks to examine the role of territorial boundaries and why they can be interpretable. In the essay, the divided residential city block, and its intention to eliminate barriers to create courtyards that are both semi-private and semi-public, is problematized. The division of the block does not mean that barriers cease to exist, but that they enter a more complex state where people themselves must interpret the territorial extents. This has led to conflicts between residents and outsiders, which raises the idea that they have interpreted the territorial boundaries differently.
To analyze how boundaries can be interpreted, the essay includes field studies at two residential city blocks of divided character and where territorial conflicts have occurred. The study is carried out with a semiotic framework: by likening boundaries to semiotic sign system, social and cultural qualities can be read. With the help of geosemiotics and landscape semiotics we can conclude that boundaries can be more than just physical barriers, but also social codes that are active in the entire mental world.

Genesis 22:1-19 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I"...
Genesis 22:1-19
Genesis 22:1-19think about it.
What did God do for Abraham in asking him to sacrifice Isaac? How do you see God testing Abraham's faith and obedience? How has God tested your trust in Him or your willingness to obey? Do you think you passed?
the blog.
Abraham is given this unfathomable test from God to sacrifice his only son. The son whom he and Sarah had asked God for for so many years. The son that was truly a miracle baby. So how did he respond? Perfectly--with complete trust, complete faith and complete obedience. We would do well to follow in Abraham's example from Genesis 22:1-19.
What did you learn from Abraham's actions and responses? What are some things you could put into practice going forward? Tami W.
