As we read Charlotte's Web, we heard all about the intricate weaving process undertaken by Charlotte in the corner of Zuckerman's barn and we learned that weaving is quite a time consuming, measured process. Over and under, under and over, over and through, through and over . . . we created the most beautiful pieces of art that we are immensely proud of!
We hope you enjoy our pieces as much as we do!

Throughout India
From 2000~2008, Asia Initiatives provided funds through MSSRF (M.S. Swaminathan Foundation) for sustainable enterprises via our Micro-Credit Bank (MCB) program, under which interest free loans were given to groups of people, mainly women, from rural areas. Over 200 MCBs were established in partnership with MSSRF by Asia initiatives (formerly Friends of MSSRF) and Friends of Swaminathan in Australia.
These loans have facilitated job led rural economic growth by promoting eco-entrepreneurship among landless and marginal households through Self Help Groups (SHGs), by way of identification of enterprises, demystification and customization of on-farm/off-farm/ non-farm technologies available in the universities and research institutions (especially on biological software's like bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers) to suit the local conditions with appropriate forward and backward linkages, business enterprises and capacity building in multiple livelihood systems among the rural men and women. With access to capital, these people have proven themselves to be successful entrepreneurs, developing and expanding small business ventures of handicrafts, papermaking, garment production, and entrepreneurship. The key elements of this program were:
- Need-based credit
- Timely and effective support
- Low transaction cost
- User-controlled revolving fund
Aspects looked into while providing interest free loans were determined by the following parameters:
- Empowering women
- Environment friendliness
- Cost-effectiveness
- Economic viability
- Increased job opportunities
Through this program 282 SHGs, 2 SHG Federations and a Farmers' Federation have been supported. More than 4,000 individuals have availed support under this program, the details of which are provided in the Micro Credit Banks database located on the MSSRF website at http://www.mssrf.org/mssrfoldsite/?q=microcredit-bank.
This program was closed in 2008, after the government mandated all State banks to make micro lending to rural areas at least 2% of their entire portfolio. While this legislation has made loans widely available, it also prohibited NGOs such as MSSRF to provide micro-credit services. The funds returned by borrowers from the profits of the businesses they had started have been rolled over to other projects, supported by AI with MSSRF, which are reported on this website:
Villipuram, Tamil Nadu
- Enhancing livelihoods through cattle loans
- Promotion of cultivation of organic green, leafy vegetables
Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu
- Enhancing livelihoods through cattle loans
- Rejuvenation/Deepening of open-wells to restore water bodies in the region
- Livelihood Programs

|ECTS Credits:
To develop students' self-awareness and the ability to self-manage, proactively interact and ethically apply knowledge and skills in a work-related context.
The Career Development module offers students the opportunity to undertake work-related learning in a variety of environments, both on and off the University campus. Through engagement with the module, students will learn about themselves, enhancing their employability (see www.ncl.ac.uk/nclplus ) and personal enterprise skills as well as contributing towards meeting the aims of the host organisation.
Outline Of Syllabus
Successful graduates are equipped with the necessary skills to perform and an ability to plan and manage their portfolio career, which is likely to be varied. The 3rd stage Career Development module therefore offers students the opportunity to learn about their skills and attributes and how they might apply these in future roles upon graduation. To aid this learning and development, they undertake work-related learning in a variety of different environments, both on and off the University campus. See http://www.ncl.ac.uk/careers/modules/cdm/ for more information. Supported by their module tutor, students will reflect on and manage their own learning and development through a series of workshops, seminars and lectures. Through engagement with both placement and teaching, students will enhance their employability and personal enterprise skills whilst contributing towards the aims of the host organisation.
Students will join the module at the start of semester one and are expected to balance their work for the module across both semesters. Students will complete a minimum of 70 hours of direct engagement with the organisation hosting the work-related learning spread over at least 10 weeks. Host organisations may require other constraints e.g. number of contact visits made.
At the start of the academic year students are expected to:
• confirm that all pre-requisites for work-related context have been met;
• attend all teaching/seminars and complete preparation tasks;
• (student tutoring route only) receive placement allocation;
• negotiate calendar of activity and duties with host organisation to meet module requirements across both semesters – it is recommended that students complete at least 30 hours of direct engagement in each semester (total hours over year = 70);
During semester one students are expected to:
• complete a minimum of 30 hours of direct engagement with the organisation hosting the work-related

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
This module provides an opportunity for students to begin to formulate their career ideas and develop these towards career choices. The teaching programme is designed to support career planning through the use of goal setting and action planning within an experiential environment of a placement choice. Students are also exposed to graduate skill theory to reinforce the importance of their learning.
Seminar teaching coupled with peer learning through group tasks encourages students to practice/discuss the skills they are using within their work placement. Seminars will facilitate discussion of the graduate skills and the assessment criteria in relation to students' individual experiences at their work placement, encourage application of the skills introduced and help students prepare for assessment.
Self-directed learning resources and pre and post session tasks (via Blackboard) will introduce the students to theory around graduate skills, goal setting and self-reflection/development. Students will be set small tasks to carry out in-between workshops to enable the dissemination of theory/experience to form the basis of seminar discussion.
The exposure of a work placement environment provides the student with an opportunity to apply learning from teaching in a 'real environment' and then use reflection as a method to achieve continuously improve in the workplace.
Through the teaching programme opportunities are factored in for professional conversation to encourage students to reflect on academic learning in relation to the graduate skills placement experiences and group activities to support them in assessment components.
The aims of the module are drawn from the Newcastle University Graduate Skills Framework and informed by current Graduate recruitment guidance. The intended skills outcomes aim to equip students with the ability to articulate how they have developed and learned from practical work experience to make them more employable. Students will achieve the learning outcomes for the module through full engagement with the activities indicated above.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Other Assessment
|When Set
|Prof skill assessmnt
|Group exercise and presentation. Individual contribution peer assessed through WebPA.
|Prof skill assessmnt
|Host organisation supervisor evaluation of student competence.
|Written exercise
|Series of short tasks over semesters 1 and 2 that assess understanding of theories and concepts prior to seminar teaching.
|Prof skill assessmnt
|Demonstration of skills and career development during placement through a professional conversation
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The assessment components are designed to develop and reward effective performance as described in the Newcastle University Graduate Skills Framework provided for the students (linked to definitions of employability in Newcastle University and sources such as www.prospects.ac.uk).
Students are expected set goals that relate how they will demonstrate the module learning outcomes, and are expected to maintain a dialogue with their module tutor and placement supervisor as they plan and implement action for progressing these goals.
Professional skills assessment 1 will take the form of an evaluation of student performance in relation to their identified development needs in the workplace by their placement supervisor. Student time spent on preparing and discussing skills competence for this task is roughly equivalent to a written task of 1500 words.
Professional skills assessment 2 is a group exercise that will give students the opportunity to explore how they and others act within a team setting and the effect such behaviour has on team performance. The presentation will evaluate the output of the team task while WebPA will be used to enable students to evaluate their teammate's contribution to the team task and provide feedback on individual behaviours in relation to the module Graduate Skills framework. Student time spent on preparation and delivery of this task is roughly equivalent to a written task of 1500 words.
There will be a series of short online tasks for students to complete between seminars to assess their understanding of theories and concepts to ensure seminars are practice focused. The overall completion of these tasks is equivalent to writing 500 words or less as will come in the form of e.g. answering multiple choice questions.
The oral examination is structured like a professional conversation to give students the experience of articulating their development in a common professional setting. The oral examination requires students to demonstrate their development as a result of module teaching and planned purposeful placement experiences and they may refer to a skills portfolio to help guide this conversation. Only students that have completed a minimum of 90% of placement visits will be examined. Students that have not completed 90% of placement visits by the end of the University Examination period and have not had a PEC approved by their academic school, will be considered to have been absent without formal approval from their examination and a mark of 0 (zero) will be returned for this component of module assessment.
Student time spent on preparation and delivery of this task is roughly equivalent to a written task of 2000 words.

I'm going to say it, I've never read/watched the hunger games series, but I saw someone play this and it looks really fun.
Just a rip off the mod page here, doesn't this sound fun?
perhaps if we organised a night for this, got everyone on mumble and just had a good time, you know?It's a FFA PvP arena with up to 24 players + 1 (or more) hosts. There are many hidden chests, puzzles and traps around the map, but the best items are in the center.
Before the games start, all the participants must choose one tube around the center. This is their starting position. When the host is ready to start the games, he'll flick the lever in the host house and the tubes will go up and the games will begin.
Turn of mobs before you play! You can optionally add aggresive mobs, but this makes thing alot harder.
Rules of The Survival Games:
Only one player can win The Survival Games.
You can not break any blocks, expect for leaves and mushrooms.
You are only allowed to place blocks you find in chests.
Your inventory must be empty before you start the game.
No player is allowed to enter the host house.
Rules for the host of The Survival Games:
The host shall light the netherrack the first night.
The host is allowed to add any weapons or food he/she want at any time in the center chests, after the second day has passed.
The host is allowed to spawn zombies, creepers or skeletons after the second day has passed.

The issues between Zionist Israel and the Palestinian people have been going on for 66-years. Zionism grew from the mid-1800s becoming what it is today: a one-state apartheid government.
The issues between Zionist Israel and the Palestinian people have been going on for 66-years. Zionism grew from the mid-1800s becoming what it is today: a one-state apartheid government.
All this time, the Palestinian people have faced denial that they even exist, ethnic cleansing including separation of families, removal from homes and land, deadly military action (against even children), statelessness.
Still, the Palestinians persist in being who they are, often recognized as the most intellectual of Arabs. National leader Haider Abdul Shafi, former Oxford scholar Sari Nusseibeh, diplomate Hannan Ashrawi, physician Mustapha Barghouti, former Birzeit University President and graduate of Purdue University Hannah Nasr are a few of the thousands of brilliant, successful Palestinians who have achieved worldwide recognition in spite of persecution that began long before World War II.
These are not people who believe virgins await them in heaven. These men and women know what has happened to them and what continues now through daily humiliations. You try staying strong for two and a half generations of endless degradation.
Filmmaker Hany Abu Assad from Nazareth is another of the Palestinian greats not just because his movies are nominated for Academy Awards, but because he shows us the morality, the culture, the pain and shame of growing up in a violent occupied land, the urge to fight and the will to survive. Only through great inner strength can people lose everything and still maintain abiding intellectual and soulful humanity.
Abu Assad's newest film, "Omar," shows us who the Palestinians are. It takes us into their homes, introduces us to their loves, their families, their furor, their gentleness, their despair, their brokenness. If you question who the Palestinians are, go see "Omar." It offers a lot of truth.

Kimmel presents '(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum'
What started out as a fun post-Oscars gag on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" has turned into an equally hilarious music video.
During Tuesday's show, Kimmel unveiled the star-filled clip for "(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum," an overtly suggestive visual accompaniment to the song that Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum first debuted on "Kimmel" in February.
Here's a sample lyric: "Our love is so dramatic/she likes to sing into my mike because she knows my mike is 'Magic.'"
Oh, it gets better.
With an assist from Miley Cyrus, Gabourey Sidibe and Olivia Munn, the video includes all of the usual clichés: close-ups of girls in bikinis; Tatum and Foxx wearing improbably white suits on the beach; and plenty of alcohol bottles to "pop." Instead of 2 Chainz, we get Foxx's rapping alter-ego, "4 Chainz."
Kimmel also makes an appearance in the racy video, swearing innocence as to what he's really singing about.
Check out the clip (which has strong language) below:
When not creating spoof clips that could rival something from Lonely Island, Tatum's preparing to release his action thriller with Foxx, "White House Down," on June 28 - and sharing adorable photos of his newborn baby girl, Everly.

Fall color in Fort Collins
It is absolutely beautiful here.. and warm enough to walk around without a jacket, although a little on the windy side. I couldn't go to Estes Park today because it was snowing, so I ended up here instead and had a great time. Many photos to follow.
Links to latest travel stories
Link to Valley Journal story published last week.
This week's story is about beetles in Rocky Mountain National Park, also in Colorado. You can find it at here.
The dancing Poudre
For more than 60 miles north and west of Fort Collins, the Poudre River dances, runs, jumps and gurgles through a beautiful valley. Fueled by snowmelt from the closest Colorado mountains to the Wyoming border, the Poudre's campgrounds were packed, meaning its not much of a secret, but still a very special place.

Just finished the entire 70 episode series (ending with Fatherland Part III - American Dream). My immediate thoughts were "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED HERE." ^infinity
Question to HK series experts or those who had seen the series during its initial airing in HK back in 1980, or just plain know, what's the story behind the horrendous ending?
Did (Cantonese) Gow Gun seriously not make it back to his village to see his dying wife? Did he seriously bolt back to America, ditching his family (a family that had waited for him for 6 years). Did he seriously go back to America to live with that woman so soon after his wife died (a wife that died longing for him to come back), a wife that had stayed so true to him? ^infinity
Was there some salary dispute between the producers and ATV, did the main actor Lau Chi Wing not want to film anymore, why in the world would they want to make an ending like that? For the LOVE OF ALL THINGS THAT ARE GOOD, WHY OH WHY???? It totally destroyed all the good feelings I developed for the series in the first 69 epidodes. After seeing the ending I felt like I just wasted 4 weeks of my life - THAT'S NOT HOW IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED. This series was on its way to becoming my favorite series of all time, now I would have to slot it as one of the worst.
HK series alfacianadoes who know, please tell me how any why did this happen?

Once again, FASHIONOTES has the latest! What are festival-goers wearing at Coachella this 2011?
At the Coachella Valley Music & Arts festival Friday, the individual style quotient was as high as the mercury. Day 1 was as riveting as any runway show. There were lots of fringed Minnetonka boots, crochet tops, flower garlands and cutoffs for the girls, and ironic T-shirts (if they were wearing shirts at all), shorts and cool kicks for the guys.
Then, of course, there were the just-gotta-be-me folks of both genders — the guy in pink neon furry boots with matching Speedo, and another in a full-on furry lion costume (a style choice that required dedication given heat that flirted with triple digits) to name just two. Their female counterparts played a neon-accented game of Native American dress up with kitschy war bonnets, ponchos, feathered earrings and tambourine-sized dreamcatchers.
On stage, Robyn rocked a Jeremy Scott pill print top, and leggings from his fall Candy Flip collection, and Marina of Marina and the Diamonds came out in a Minnie Mouse-style hair bow and pink round sunglasses. In a flippy skirt and a jacket with a giant pink diamond on the back, she looked like the perfect festival cheerleader.
Also spotted in the crowd: Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, Tara Reid, Whitney Port, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Kate Bosworth, Ashley Tisdale, fashion designer Johan Lindeberg and Mulberry creative director Emma Hill. Rumor had it that Danny DeVito was nearby too.
p.s. Whitney Port: what are you saying with that hair?

Are you planning a conference and looking for a corporate venue? The last thing you want is to throw a boring event that will end up wasting your time and your guest's as well. These 10 tips will ensure that everything works on a timely basis at the meeting.
1.Have planned outcomes
Your conference must have a planned outcome or success. Lay down what needs to be accomplished in advance, for instance, budget approval or a major decision that needs to be made. This will avoid time wasting.
2.Set the agenda in advance
Imagine choosing a great Venue for hire in Auckland but forget to come up with an agenda for the meeting. How can you ensure that every attendee stays on the same page? The agenda should have the objectives of the conference. The agenda should be very clear and if it can be achieved by other means besides a meeting, then there is no need for holding the meeting. It is important that you send the agenda beforehand so that the attendees can plan for questions, prepare the necessary materials, and come up with viable solutions as early as they can.
3.Create a deadline for submissions
The necessary materials must be submitted as early as possible. Late submissions will create hiccups and the meeting might be delayed.
4.Make use of PowerPoint
Take advantage of this technology that makes demonstrations much easier. Encourage the presenters to create as many slides as possible. You can even reward the best presenters. People understand information better when it is presented in visual aids. It is imperative that a few presenters undertake critical steps of analyzing how their work-related generally to other practices. Advice them to highlight their achievements but they don't need to cover particular implications of their work.
5.Use the lecture format
The speakers should take more time in relaying information but less time for questions and suggestions from the audience. This helps to keep the discussion on the right track. In the present day of advanced technology, the lecture format is an effective teaching mode and prevents wastage of resources.
6.Have a moderator
A conference moderator can assist in putting an end to meaningless, repetitive, and lengthy speeches or debates. Pick one of the delegates to control the meeting so that the group can stay on top of the agenda and any unproductive behavior is curtailed. A professional moderator knows how to cut off an attendee with too much information and give a chance to another person with a more sensible point of view. Note that the best ideas don't always come from the loudest participant. There is a need to give chances to even the shy people in the group. A moderator also guides the attendees in brainstorming and makes them get on track when the discussion stalls. This ensures that the meeting ends on time.
7.Invite only the important people
Have you ever been to a crowded meeting where almost everyone wants to talk and decision making becomes problematic? To avoid this kind of a scenario, only include the essential delegates. It will also help you spend less because you won't need a large corporate venue.
You can make your conference stand out from the average modern-day meetings which are characterized by undefined agenda, wrong function venues, dragged discussions, and annoying co-workers. You don't have to endure such a time-wasting meeting. Start by planning ahead of time and implement the necessary steps for reaching the intended outcomes. Stop wasting time and realize the full potential of a corporate meeting.

Laser Body Contouring
If diet and exercise haven't given you the shape or results you want, body contouring can help you discover—and re-shape—your "beautiful".
Today's body contouring procedures can treat large areas and small problem areas too. Laser-assisted lipolysis melts away fat in trouble spots, like your abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. The results last longer than other treatments and are less invasive than traditional liposuction or a more invasive procedure such as a facelift.

Just when you thought there couldn't be another way to make Black Friday any more miserable for shoppers and retail employees, the credit-card industry came up with one.
Credit-card companies last month began to mandate new technology that uses chips instead of magnetic stripes. It's a change made for a very good reason: card security.
The credit-card industry self-imposed October 1 as the deadline for the new card readers, though many consumers had received chip-enabled credit and debit cards — which will still work on the old "swipe" card processors — long before that.
The timing of this wider rollout, however, has retail and payments experts warning that this will slow things down at the checkouts on the November 27 shopping day.
"Any time you introduce a major change like this, there's going to be confusion," said Matt Schulz, senior industry analyst with CreditCards.com. "There's no question this is going to cause some slowdown on Black Friday."
The change itself is simple: Instead of swiping the card through the magnetic-strip reader, shoppers now have to insert it — chip side up — into a slot on the bottom of the device.
But here's where the delays come in. People who are unfamiliar with the process will swipe as they always have, then be told it didn't work because they have a new chip-enabled card. Then they must be shown how to insert it, and leave it in, so the payment can be processed.
Now multiply that by thousands, and add in the fact that people have been in line since the crack of dawn, elbowed their way to that bargain bin, and then had to wait again just to get to the register, and you can see why even a small delay will test patience. It's called the EMV chip, and it just might wreak havoc on holiday shopping.
A 'rude awakening' for retailers
"There is going to be a rude awakening" for retailers, said Jared Drieling, business intelligence manager for The Strawhecker Group, an Omaha, Nebraska-based advisory firm focusing on payments. "The industry is still bickering over how long an EMV transaction takes."
As many as 47% of US merchants will have new technology in place by the end of 2015, according to a survey conducted earlier this year by the Payments Security Task Force, an industry-backed group of financial services firms and leading retailers. Already, 40% of Americans have been issued new chip-enabled cards.
Of course the nightmare scenario that Drieling is warning about is dependent on a lot of factors. Some customers have been using the chip technology for weeks, and some retailers don't have the readers yet. There is a wide disparity in how individual retailers have gotten ready for the switch.
Best Buy, Macy's, and Walmart stores have been fully outfitted with new card readers, representatives for those companies said. Macy's and Walmart have also reissued store-branded credit cards with new EMV chips embedded in them. Sears, on the other hand, says it is "continuously working to further enhance the security of our systems," according to a spokesman — but declined to provide specifics for Black Friday.
J. Craig Shearman, a spokesman for the National Retail Federation, said the new card readers would be at "most major retailers and large national chains." The progress of smaller shops in adapting the chips is not as clear, but those shops are less likely to be open the day after Thanksgiving anyway.
Shearman didn't argue with the notion that things could slow down, but he said it was not clear how much longer it would take to process each transaction.
For retailers, Black Friday and the ensuing weekend is crucial to performance. Americans packed malls and stores last year after Thanksgiving, driving more than $50 billion in revenue to retailers, the National Retail Federation reported in 2014.
Of course, there are lots of ways to avoid even having to find out. Stay home. Turkey and stuffing is better on day two anyway.

Old Guy Raps At Eagles Tailgate Party [Video]
This old man learned his freestyle skills while working as a prison guard for 25 years.
Now he is spitting hot fire in the parking lot before a Monday Night Football game featuring his Eagles.
I am debating what makes this video so good, the fact that his freestyle is dope or that he is wearing a beer belt.
You decide!

Your MSP business needs to be as punctual as possible. Punctuality may not be a meter of the products or services rendered, but it's a subconscious indicator of quality and reliability. More important than the kinds of products or services which come from your company is whether the tech agency can be trusted. An hour can be the difference between averting disaster and bankruptcy for some. Accordingly, an MSP that's 30 minutes late could be tangentially responsible for a business's implosion. Certainly, this will be a minority of situations, but as a possibility, those acquiring tech services cannot ignore such likelihoods.
Punctuality gives you a sort of "get out of jail free card". If you're always on time or even earlier than expected, there will be some latitude if events beyond the control of your business put you in a position where you're a little late once or twice in the course of one years' service. Granted, you want to avoid this if at all possible; but if you're always on time, then when legitimate emergency ties you up, you'll be diminishing risk of client loss. With this in mind, several aspects of professionalism communicated by punctuality include:
- Mastery of service provision
- Integrity of professional support
- Competence in service provision
- Visibility of self-respect
- Value Of others' time
Mastery Of Service Provision
An MSP business that can continuously provide timely service has mastered their craft. If you're new at operations and have a handful of clients supported by a handful of employees, you're going to be running in every direction just to maintain operational stasis. However, if you've got the right infrastructure in place, you'll be able to navigate the municipality you serve in a timely manner, provide service to multiple clients at regular intervals, and not be a second late for any of them. This doesn't come naturally–it requires trial, error, success, and failure, all of which contribute to mastery. If you can't provide punctual service, you haven't mastered your art. The big clients will understand this. Prove your punctuality initially and subsequently see increased expansion in profitability.
Integrity Of Professional Support
If you can't show up at the time you say you will, then you don't have integrity. Honesty predicates your ability to show up when you say you will. You're not being held against the wall and threatened when asked a question like, "How soon can you get here?" If you say one hour when you know it will be two, then you're going to look like you don't have the kind of integrity you should.
Competence In Service Provision
It's incompetent for your business to say you can show up at one time but then show up at another— that's a basic reality. Beyond a lack of craft mastery and integrity, you'll be seen by clients as incompetent when you can't do what you say you do even at a basic level. So avoid that noise by being realistic in your time estimates. Give an expanded estimated time of arrival as well as an estimated time for service delivery. That way, if you're done earlier, you look like you're better at your job. This is called erring on the side of caution, and it's a very wise strategy.
Visibility Of Self-Respect
Not only do you show disrespect for clients if you're not on time, you show disrespect for yourself. It's like not showering on a daily basis or not washing your clothes. If you don't care how others see you, how can you care about yourself? If your business has self-respect, this will be visible and demonstrable via qualities like punctuality.
Value Of Others' Time
Especially for enterprises, time is money. An operational hour could be worth $100k. If you're a half hour late, you just cost such a client $50k. A professional MSP won't do that to those who make their success possible.
Be Punctual
An MSP business that is punctual is much more likely to acquire new clients and retain old ones. If you have a history of being late, fix that. If you don't, keep up the good work!

On Thursday evening, water began streaming out of the McTavish Reservoir on Docteur-Penfield, above McGill's lower campus. Water from the reservoir flooded McTavish and affected parts of campus bordering the street.
The reservoir holds 37 million gallons of water and is owned by the City of Montreal. According to building personnel, the flood was caused by a pipe bursting.
McGill Security, Montreal police, and firefighters sealed off the area by blocking traffic at various points around it: at the intersections of Docteur-Penfield and Peel, McTavish and Sherbrooke, and the Roddick gates.
Wallace Sealy, SSMU security supervisor, stood at the top of McTavish to direct people away from the street. He said he has never seen anything like the flood in the six years he has worked at McGill.
The flow was largely restricted to McTavish, leading to minor erosion of asphalt along with the "experimental piercings" of grass on the street.
McTavish was roped off by McGill security until 9 p.m. Thursday night as emergency services and University employees worked to remove water and prevent accumulated moisture within affected buildings.
Jim Nicell, Associate Vice-Principal (University Affairs), said that water infiltration was the cause of most flood-related damages on campus. The key buildings impacted by the flood were the Student Service Point, the McLennan-Redpath library complex, and Wilson Hall.
"We thought there'd be extensive damage given the sheer volume of the flow but…the reports came back [of] surprisingly little damage, with the exception being Wilson Hall," Nicell said.
Wilson Hall houses the McGill School's of Nursing and the School of Social Work. Nicell said that the building has a notorious reputation for flooding and, as a result, there were not many materials being stored in the basement areas, which were subject to flooding.
"With Wilson Hall, we felt that there was a potential danger, so we shut down the [electrical] systems," he said.
The building was closed without electricity until 2:30 p.m. on Friday and classes were moved to other locations. The building was still in the process of being dried out on Friday afternoon. Nicell said that the cost of the damage to Wilson Hall was unclear and remedial cleaning work still needed to be done.
Nicell said the first step of the University's Emergency Management Plan was to bring in key people such as electricians, McGill security services and employees of Facilities, Operations, and Development services. He said that custodians, many of whom were working the night shift on Thursday, were mobilized to assist with water removal in the buildings affected by the flood.
McGill Building Services' on-call supervisor, Michel Ducharme, said that employees have basic training to handle emergencies such as a flood. However, he explained that Building Service employees are not specialized emergency workers.
"In major or very specific situations where the safety of the employees could be an issue…we call a private company outside to come on campus – normally we call Rosco," he said.
The Rosco Group specializes in disaster recovery. Their operations include disaster restoration and cleaning, document restoration, construction, and renovation and water damage recovery.
Rosco arrived on Thursday night and continued working on campus throughout the day on Friday.
The McLennan-Redpath library complex also experienced flooding at the basement level and was evacuated an hour after the flood began on McTavish.
"Some paper items were waterlogged [and] subjected to some of the flow that actually came in more from the ceiling and downward," Nicell said, noting that library personnel had to move materials from the basement very quickly as the flooding occurred.
Sheehan Moore, a McGill student and former Daily editor, was in the library and witnessed the flooding.
"If you listen at the emergency exit [by the emergency staircase on the first floor of McLennan] you can hear water pouring in," he said on Thursday. Moore witnessed a special collections librarian running upstairs. "She was completely soaked," he said.
According to Colleen Cook, the Trenholme Dean of Libraries, there is a library disaster plan for emergencies such as Thursday's flood. She and her colleagues were at McGill late Thursday night working to handle the aftermath of the flood.
"You have to take action within certain time frames and all of that happened beautifully," she said.
The soaked books will be freeze-dried, which, according to Cook, is one of the most effective methods of drying documents.
"If you can get materials into a freeze dry then the recovery of virtually all, if not most, of the materials is practically assured," she said.
Cook said that the books that were damaged in the flood were "eclectic" and did not have large value within the library's collection. She noted that some materials were digitized and would not need to be replaced.
Nicell said that he expected the materials in the library to be fully restored.
Service Point, at the base of McTavish, was another key building that experienced flooding. The building was flooded by a few inches on Thursday, however, it re-opened Friday morning and was fully functional. Nicell noted that lasting effects might include damage to hardwood floors that could buckle over time.
He said that it was too premature to begin estimating costs from the damages or if the City would be held responsible. McGill will meet with City officials and insurers will have to assess buildings.
Ducharme said that any flood damage to buildings under the purview of Building Services would be covered under McGill's insurance plan.

Being human means you know all about slander and false accusations. Kids do it, teens do it, and even adults do it. And yes, it hurts despite the famous words, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Our three natural responses include:
1. Accuse back.
2. Blow up and loudly protest.
3. Attempt to vindicate ourselves.
For some reason, those just don't seem to do the job. So what do we do?
The seventh Psalm provides some insight. David, the king of Israel, has been the recipient of slander and false accusations. And it hurt. So what does he do? Let's break it down into three parts.
1. He turned to God. Growing up we sang a song with the words "take it to the Lord in prayer." So easy, yet not always our first choice.
Psalm 7:1 (ESV) O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge;
save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,..
2. He told God how he felt. David knew in his heart that he was not guilty of the accusations. Yes, God already knows, but it will help you immensely and will also reinforce to you the lack of validity in the false accusations. One of the results will be less emotional hurt. That's what prayer does. It allows God to bear some of your pain.
Psalm 7:3-4 (ESV) O Lord my God, if I have done this,
if there is wrong in my hands,
4 if I have repaid my friend with evil
or plundered my enemy without cause,
3. Finally, David trusted God. There was really nothing he could do, but leave it in God's hands.
If you will do all three, you'll feel better. I love the way David finished.
Psalm 7:17 (ESV) I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,
and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
As we enter another year there is at least one word many people would love to see describe 2013. That is the word stability.
Think about it. One of the chief concerns of the Federal Reserve is stable prices. Of course, I'm sure we all want stable prices. But we want even more.
We want stable….
And the list goes on. But what's the secret to being blessed with stability? When building a house it is typical to brace walls until they are securely fastened to other walls. Otherwise they are susceptible to wind.
However, for us as individuals what is the secret to stability in our lives? What is it that makes us "blessable" regarding stability?
Let me suggest that it is related to your attitude towards the Bible.
Psalm 1:1-4 (NASB) "How blessed is the man….his delight is in the law of the LORD…He will be like a tree firmly planted by the streams of water…in whatever he does, he prospers…the wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away."
2013 may brings all sorts of storms and disruptions into your life. While the winds may blow into your life, decide right now as the New Year starts, that this year you will delight in the Word of God. You may be pleasantly surprised by the stability you experience in 2013.

The University of Texas at San Antonio and International Scholar Services have an obligation to comply with the regulations of the U.S. State Department, which controls visa issuance overseas, and the Department of Homeland Security, which regulates non-immigrants after their arrival.
These matters can be addressed only if we have a coherent, campus-wide administrative approach.
We receive inquiries from interested international parties who would like to participate in academia and research at UTSA -- including admission to degree programs, postdoctoral scholar status, visiting scholar status, student exchange, and independent study or research.
We are a UTSA resource for
- The interpretation of immigration regulations.
- Understanding employment options.
- Providing visa services to the campus.
It is essential that faculty and department staff members understand that requests for visa services for visiting scholars, post-docs, researchers, and non-degree students must first be vetted by the staff of International Scholar Services within the Office of International Programs.
There are many issues that must be addressed, including:
- The risks and liabilities associated while on campus.
- Their access to campus services.
- Documentation of the coursework and research activity.
- Determination of the appropriate visa status.
We must communicate that non-degree students and researchers cannot and should not utilize tourist visas for their stay. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires that these students, faculty and staff are properly identified and tracked through the SEVIS database. UTSA is the sponsoring agency; we must keep track of our sponsored-visa holders by law.

Unicorns & Magic Cats: Tasha's Game
Double Fine, the prettiest and handsomest games developers in all the lands, are responsible for the shiny bauble of jumpy joy that is Psychonauts, and thus shall forever be carried aloft the shoulders of all with taste and dignity. This is in no small part thanks to the boss man, Tim "Big Long List of LucasArts Games" Schafer. And of course they're currently working on Brutal Legend (although there's all manner of confusion after Activision/Blizzard, in a move of such spectacular stupidity, dropped it during their Jeff Goldblum/fly styled merge). So another thing they do is put up fun Flash games on their website.
Only three so far, but each is well worth a play. The latest is Tasha's Game, from the drawing hand of Tasha Harris and the programming mind of Klint Honeychurch. It's a cute platforming affair with a splendidly new idea in its middle.
Some strange black tentacle thing has captured a bunch of Tasha's friends, in the floaty cloud world she doesn't seem to mind finding herself in. Accompanied by her magic cat, Snoopy (I love this job), she has to hop her way to each of them. To get there, she needs Snoopy's help, as he conjures platforms for her. So Tasha moves with the WAS keys, and Snoopy is the mouse cursor. Collecting icons to create platforms, you can then plop them on the screen wherever they need to be. Different platform types do different things, and it's their judicious placement that the game's all about.
It's nice and quick, and pretty simple to play through. But also splendidly funny, and all happy-cute. Rainbows say hi, unicorns shout out encouragement. It's like a girl's high school notebook doodles were magicked into a game. As well should they all.
Rather splendidly, each time you load the game it has a different silly title. "tasha's brutal circus unlimited', 'tasha's donkey touchdown time', 'tasha's enchanted defender of doom'. Methinks me smells a PERL script at work. So, go play it.

We are the only music school in New Westminster that offers not only free recitals, but also free masterclasses.

MDGs were adopted as guiding principles for development following the movement toward pluralism, openness and liberalism that swept the world in the 1990s. In Nepal, too, that decade was a time of great socio-political change: it abandoned its state-controlled political system and opted for an open, pluralistic space in which the private sector was free to operate in the economic sphere and civil society and non-government organizations (NGOs) were free to engage in development activities. The private sector's share in the national economy increased significantly, and the number of civil society organizations increased several hundred-fold.
The liberal environment allowed the latent energy of all national actors to be released and activated. Between 1990 and 2000 the governance system was guided by the principle of decentralization, and local governments became major agents of change and service providers at the local level, assuming responsibilities that had once belonged to central agencies. The participation of local people in the development process increased drastically and democracy deepened. The economy grew by over six percent per year, the number of NGOs which mobilized resources to communities increased, poverty decreased, inequality narrowed, and exemplary achievements were made in the social sector. Nepal performed well, as community organizations flourished and people all over the country joined grassroots organizations of one form or another. With non-state actors playing a major catalytic role, a wave of social awareness and engagement engulfed the nation.
The MDGs have inspired Nepal to remain focused on some of the key elements of human development. As a result achievements of the past decade, particularly in education and health sectors, have been remarkable despite overall political and economic environment of the country. They provide input to global-level thinking for going beyond 2015 and will help in the currently ongoing process of preparing a new national plan.
As MDGs come closer to ending, various initiatives are underway to help share a post-2015 framework. A high-level UN committee recently submitted a report that emphasizes ending extreme poverty, creating employment, improving peace and governance, tackling inequalities and disparities, and ensuring sustainability. These themes coincide with the priorities recommended by the Nepal MDG Progress Report 2013. To meet the targets for 2015 and move beyond, Nepal needs to promote inclusive growth by harnessing the productive potentials of all citizens including the poor and excluded to build a peaceful and prosperous nation. Of course, there are many challenges and problems, but MDGs have showed the way for future anti-poverty development agenda. It should be focused on the areas where there are wider gaps. One of the crucial things about Nepal is the widening gap among various geographical regions and social groups. Nepal needs to address the regional and ethnic disparities in going beyond 2015 by paying sufficient attention to the issue of inequality.
Proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for beyond 2015
The propose Sustainable Development Goals which are under discussion at the UN are "accompanied by targets and will be further elaborated through indicators focused on measurable outcomes. They are action oriented, global in nature and universally acceptable to all countries. While taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national policies and priorities. These goals constitute an integrated indivisible set of global priorities for sustainable development. Targets are defined as global targets with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambitions but taking into accounts national circumstances. The goals and targets integrate economic, social and environmental aspects and recognize their inter-linkages in achieving sustainable development in all its dimensions".
As per the zero draft documents of June 2014 circulated by UN, the list of proposed Sustainable development Goals (SDGs) to be attained by 2030 are as follows.
1.End poverty everywhere 2. End hunger, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. 3. Attain healthy lives for all 4. Provide quality education and life-long learning opportunities for all 5. Attain gender equality, empower women and girls everywhere. 6. Ensure availability and sustainable use of water and sanitation for all 7. Ensure sustainable energy for all 8.

The High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development meeting was held in New York on June 30th to July 8th 2014, followed by Ministerial Meeting and Development Cooperation Forum on July 9th to 11th. The above all 17 goals are the outcome of discussion up to 12th Open Working Group including numbers of international and regional meeting all around the World. The discussion is still ongoing its 13th OWG meeting from July 14th to 18th in New York.
There is the need to make strategic interventions to accelerate efforts to achieve the targets of the MDGs by 2015 and beyond 2015. Sensitization on rights, mobilization of local resources and cooperatives, and priority for small scale climate-resilient interventions are the strategic approaches required for enhancing sustainable access to quality of services.
Nepal MDGs Progress Report 2013 points out that due to the required policy reforms by the Government of Nepal, Nepal's commitment to achieving the MDGs has come close to reality. The report reveals that Nepal is on track and it is likely to achieve most of its MDG targets. Nepal is lagging behind in the areas particularly in sanitation and poverty. However, Nepal has already internalized an acceleration framework in the form of the MDG Acceleration Framework (MAF) to mobilize adequate resources to expedite progress by 2015.
One of the positive parts is that Nepal's current plan is based on MDGs and towards to SDGs goals. The plan has incorporated a number of initiatives at par with MDGs. While MDGs Progress Report 2013 provided a comprehensive picture towards achieving MDGs which served as a baseline for this plan, MDG needs assessment exercise that took place under the leadership of the National Planning Commission and with the involvement of all development ministries helped to identify concrete strategies and resource needs to achieve MDGs by 2015. It is a positive step to note that TP includes policies and strategies suggested in the MDG needs assessment report. The TP also places priorities in the sectors beyond 2015 and points out the areas for future development. Along with integrating MDGs in programming and budgeting mechanism, government of Nepal has included "the achievement of MDGs" as one of the project prioritization criteria in the budget preparation process.
Post-2015 Development Discourse
As the discourse on the post-2015 development agenda gains momentum, the recommendations offered by the High Level Panel have strong relevance for Nepal. The five transformative shifts identified as agenda beyond 2015 address constraints that impede the creation of egalitarian societies. They are:
Leave No One Behind:It putsstrong emphasis on non-discrimination and equality of opportunity, and it seeks to look at goals using disaggregated statistics rather than beyond broad-brush measures.
Put Sustainable Development at the Core:The goal encourages sustainable levels of consumption and production, by designing appropriate taxes, subsidies, and no regulations to encourage development if necessary.
Transform Economics for Jobs and Inclusive Growth: The goal seeks to achieve a "quantum leap forward in providing economic opportunities and to harness innovation, technology, and the potential of business and of people themselves" by creating conditions that enable people through education, skills, better politics, and inclusive, sustainable and accountable business practices, while adding value through investment in infrastructure.
Build Peace and Effective, Open and Accountable Public Institutions:It calls for freedom from war, conflict, and violence and seeks transparency in public institutions and the rule of law.
Forge a New Global Partnership:It underscores unity as guarantor of long-term prosperity for all. It seeks a new set of attitudes and a change of behavior while establishing partnerships for common good.
In their essence these goals seek to end poverty while empowering the disadvantaged and excluded sections of the society and to improve quality of life through better healthcare, education, nutrition, job creation, sustainable and equitable growth, better governance, and creating stable and peaceful societies. The High Level Panel estimates that benefits of these goals will be immense. Aligning national priorities clearly with international agendas will provide a clear direction in consolidating plans and resources, both internal and external.
At present, Nepal is in a trap of low economic growth and high exclusion. To overcome this vicious cycle, the country needs to follow a path of inclusive growth for the poor and excluded to draw in the process. Another strong point of the HLP recommendations is that goals should be considered achieved only if they meet the targets for "all relevant income and social groups" and leave no-one behind. Increasing investment in the social sector and job creation within Nepal will create an enabling environment for the poorest of the poor to be the part of the growth story.
While the global discussion on post-2015 development framework is underway, Nepal's immediate priority should be to focus TP in line with its objective.Nepal itself does not have long term plan with vision, mission and objectives and current TYP are not able to address clearly in the line of SDGs goals. It is scattered in the different sectors of plan documents.
The emerging priorities of the post 2015 development agenda resonate well with Nepal's needs and aspirations. In order to make transformative shifts in Nepal, Nepal needs the elections at the national and local levels to put in place the people's representatives and a stable government. Only after a new, truly democratic constitution is written and representatives are elected at all levels of government will the country see a real exit from the prevailing political uncertainty. This process may take another two to three years, exactly the time period in which it must consolidate those of its MDGs which it has already achieved or is likely to achieve and accelerate its progress in those that lag behind.

CPR for yourself
Posted by kim on Thursday, April 9, 2015 Under: General Health
This is so good to know. If you have seen it before, read it again - a refresher course never hurts. I hope none of you ever have to use it, but just in case, it's info we all should have. It could save a life, especially for those who live alone.
1. Let's say it's 7.25 pm and you're going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.
2. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.
3. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home.
4. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.

Hiring Interns
Interviewed an intern today from ASU. She's in the mass communications program, and part of the University program is to complete an internship.
So, in a nutshell, POP! Public Relations has its first intern, who starts on August 25th. We had our first discussion today on what the expectations are going to be, and how I plan on running the intern program. It will be interesting, since if it works out the way I hope it does, I will implement it to bring in a new intern every semester.
Right now, though, I plan on using her on a pro bono account, as well as support for my other clients. That includes media database searches, editorial calendar searches, first drafts of pitch letters and press releases, and when she is ready, some media calls. The interesting thing is that the school seems to push unpaid internships - my thought is that you get what you pay for - and I already let her know that while I am growing, I hope to be able to compensate her for her time with some pay.
Beyond that meeting, I had an interview with Go Daddy and its newsletter about how I use its services. I hope the interview comes out nice.

I've been fighting for brand protection and the First Amendment all of my life and it alarms me when government or industry try to quell free speech or stop a person from building a brand. When I was in the seventh grade in the 1980's, I read a 1945 book called "Animal Farm" that shaped me in a way that no book has done since, more than thirty years later. In the introduction to the book, the author wrote:
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. ~ George Orwell
United States Patent and Trademark Office
The most relevant recent fight for the First Amendment in brand protection began when legal scholar Ron Coleman took on a client who, as Asian-Americans, attempted to register the trademark for their band "The Slants". Even though the band's sole focus was making marginalized communities feel included, they were turned down by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for utilizing what the government considered a "disparaging mark". Ultimately, the Supreme Court of the United States, in a landmark decision, stated that their name was legal. Thanks to the courage and perseverance of The Slants and Mr. Coleman, this decision will be used to defend free speech in branding for centuries to come.
Registrars and Web Hosts
The next example of the fight for the First Amendment in brand protection recently came to my attention when the social network Gab.com was terminated by Godaddy for not censoring free speech. Gab was targeted for censorship because a recent mass shooter in Pittsburgh was a member, and the entire tech community left Gab to fend for itself. As all popular online forums and social networks do, Gab's management spoke out against this violence after it occurred. While you or I may not agree with members of fringe political speech, we may agree with past fringe dissents like John F. Kennedy's criticism of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, or Margaret Chase Smith's opposition to McCarthyism. You and I, corporate America, or the government are not to decide what dissent is to be censored. Gab was targeted because they don't censor conservatives, or anyone. That's not the world we all prefer to live in. Orwell states it best above. The tolerance of unpopular speech is the first evidence of a free society.
This led me to discover Epik.com, the registrar that became the new home for Gab. Epik is ICANN-accredited and also provides escrow services. Epik is based in Seattle, and led by a veteran entrepreneur in the tech industry. As a company, we moved all of our domains over to Epik.
As people in the branding world, what the heck are we all fighting for? If it isn't for people to build a brand and let society decide, I don't know what is.

More pictures, including new chickens on the field!
Here are some more flooding pictures, along with some other pictures around the farm. One of Adam with the new chickens in their rotating chicken tractor. This adds a vital element to our farm- fertlizer! We are now rotating the chickens through our expired summer crops where we will plant in the spring!

Troubleshooting FAQ: Need help? Read this first.
Here are some common solutions to problems. Many of the specific solutions described here apply to Windows, but in many cases there are similar solutions on OSX.
* Reaper crashes or freezes when opening.
Determine if the problem occurs when Reaper is starting, or when Reaper is loading the most recent project. You can open Reaper dry (bypassing the default "load last project" behavior) via Start/Reaper (create new project), or by holding down the shift key while opening Reaper. If the problem persists, the problem is when initializing Reaper; if Reaper opens OK dry, the problem is when loading the most recent project.
* Reaper crashes or freezes when opening dry.
Most often caused by a corrupted REAPER.ini file. You can reset REAPER.ini via Start/Reaper (reset configuration to factory defaults). If you have a lot of custom preferences you want to try to save, you can reset the configuration by renaming C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\REAPER\REAPER.ini, which will cause a factory-default REAPER.ini to be created while preserving your renamed version.
* Reaper crashes or freezes when loading the most recent project (or some other project).
Commonly caused by a buggy plugin. Open Reaper dry, then open the problem project while holding down shift and control (OSX: shift + cmd). This will load the project with all plugins offline. You can then bring the plugins back online one at a time to find the problem. Deleting and re-adding a bad plugin will often clear the problem.
Another possibility is a corrupted Reaper project file (.RPP). Open the problem RPP in a text editor such as Notepad and look for obvious file corruption (garbage text, etc). You can try copying the RPP, deleting problematic parts of the copy, and opening it -- this does not have a great chance of success, but it may work.
* Reaper hangs after upgrading OS or hardware on the machine.
Almost always caused by the audio hardware device driver. Try opening Reaper dry, go to Options/Preferences/Audio/Device, set the audio system to WaveOut, select the onboard sound as the device and try again. If Reaper no longer hangs, it strongly indicates the audio hardware device driver is the problem.
* Drivers that hang after a crash.
If REAPER (or any program for that matter) crashes, when restarting REAPER you may get the frustrating message that the audio driver is not available.
If this happens, it usually fixes the problem immediately if you simply cycle the power on the physical audio device, or if it has a reset switch, use the switch. The device should then let go of the driver.
(Cycling the power on a USB device usually means removing and reattaching the USB cable. There are USB switches available that let you do this without having to physically remove the cable.)
(This works because the usual cause of a hung driver is not REAPER being a zombie and holding the driver in its undead clutches. Instead it is the audio device, like a rejected lover, refusing to let go after the program has gone away.)
* Blue screen crash! Aaagh!
By far the most common cause is a buggy device driver (such as for your audio interface or a midi controller). If your computer reboots immediately after the blue screen, right-click My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Startup and Recovery Settings and uncheck "Automatically restart." If you get another blue screen crash, you will have time to read the name of the offending file or process. If the blue screen reports a .sys file, it's a device driver. Search online for the file name to see which device, and look for an updated driver (or, if you just updated the driver, try rolling back).
* Posting a useful bug report
If none of that helps and you still have a crash, it's most likely to get resolved if you post a step-by-step description of how to reproduce the problem (upload a project file if it helps). You need to be as specific as possible because we usually can't fix something if we can't watch it happen. Posting crash information helps too: if you get the Microsoft "Reaper has encountered an error" window, click for more information until you get a window like the one below, and report the module name and especially the offset.
