The technique is used to stimulate energy points, the system of ten "sen" on 72,000 Prana Nadis which in Indian medicine, make up the energy envelope of the body. There are also known points in Chinese acupuncture. Combining stretching and pressure, it makes the body's energy balance by acting on the muscles, ligaments, joints, bones, connective tissue and organs.

UK shop price decline quickens in October: BRC
[LONDON] British shops matched a record decline in the price cuts in October and food prices looked at risk of falling into deflation, a survey showed on Wednesday.
The British Retail Consortium said October retail prices were 1.9 per cent lower than a year ago, matching July's record decline and weaker than a 1.8 per cent fall in September.
Prices for food products edged up just 0.1 per cent, the smallest rise since the survey began almost eight years ago, compared with a 0.3 per cent increase in September. There was deep and widespread discounting across grocery stores.
Mike Watkins, head of retailer and business insight at survey compiler Nielsen, said shoppers had been helped by a fall in global food prices over the last six months. "With sales volumes at an historic low point for food retailers, there is now a risk of food deflation on the horizon." Britain's big supermarkets have fought an escalating price war, spurred by discounters like Aldi and Lidl which have taken a growing market share from traditional rival grocers.
Overall, consumer price inflation ran at 1.2 per cent in September, well below the Bank of England's 2 per cent target. Wages are growing even more slowly - something the BoE has cited as a reason to keep interest rates on hold.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The BRC survey is designed to reflect price changes in shops in 500 of the most commonly bought high street products.

It hit the fan when word leaked Education Commissioner Bret Schundler had approved a federal Race to the Top application that gained the approval of the NJEA but backtracked on some of the school reforms Gov. Christie was proposing. The application with teacher union approval was withdrawn and one more in line with Christie's ideas went to Washington instead. New Jersey's application is one of 18 finalists out of 35 submitted. "This announcement affirms our decision to stick with real reform and not capitulate to the watered-down, failed status quo approach advocated by the NJEA," Christie said in a prepared statement.
After the changes made to the application were reversed, the NJEA and more than 400 of its local affiliates revoked their support.
New Jersey seeks about $400 million in Race to the Top funds. Its application promises to base teachers' tenure protections on effectiveness, not length of service; implement bonuses for teachers and principals, emphasizing growth of struggling students; and deploy a data system that tracks student performance, guides instructional planning and helps evaluate teachers and schools.
The reactions were interesting:
Assembly Republican Scott Rumana:
"Governor Christie should be congratulated for pushing an aggressive education reform agenda that has drawn recognition from Washington."
Jeanne Allen, president of the Center for Education Reform: "The fact that status quo strongholds are sharing the same stage as truly groundbreaking education reform leaders such as Florida, New York and the District of Columbia in a competition ostensibly focused on education reform efforts shows that 'Race to the Top' is inherently broken in both its scoring and priorities."
Democrat Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan: "President Obama has made education a top priority of his administration … The President's approach is in stark contrast with the devastating cuts in state aid to education which were part of Governor Christie's budget. "

DRx Romanelli's Snakeskin LeBron James Jersey for UNKNWN.
Matriarchal Success
What does it take for a girl
to succeed in this patriarchal world?
When she was a twinkle in his eye
it took lust
When she was a fire in his loins
it took thrust
When she was a decision for his morals
he was just
When she was defenseless
it took trust
But when it took care, impossibly
she was crushed
Now that girl wounded in pieces
What does she do?
Now that girl wooed as he pleases
She thought she knew
Now That Girl fooled and mistreated
Does she come unglued?
Does she climb atop another Obelisk
Claim a new Ra
Flood and destroy her pyramid
only to lose her
Does she sit as her child dies
Is she akin to Cleopatras imagining
is she Revered like Mary?
or Relegated like Mary Magdalene?
Does she know her ancestor
was a Shaman?
Does she just watch as
manifest destiny happens
What does it take for her to succeed?
Does she require two successful parents
Does she pull herself up by the boot straps
Does she pull herself up by the bra straps
Does she burn her bra & love freely of thought tax
Does she hate the tree & act with a false axe
Is she pantsuits & lawsuits
Is she fishnets & fishscale
Is she blue collar & blue pills
Jerse Shore or Maya Moore Jersey Sales
Is she Pro Life or Pro Love
Is she big girl's club or Bad Girls Club
Does it take her rape, her pride,
her respect, her objectification,
her humility, her sexuality,
her intelligence, her piece of mind,
her piece of the dream, her morality,
her history, her identity,
HER SOUL to succeed…
And after all that.. is that.. Success?

Narooma rises for climate action
Climate activists across the shire turned out to participate in a global day of action against climate change on Saturday.
The 'Rise Up for Climate Change' rally was initiated by the shire's climate-change group 350 Eurobodalla, with events at in Narooma and Batemans Bay.
Coordinator Allan Rees said the theme of the rally was active, inclusive transport.
"The failure of national governments in Australia and the USA to act on climate change means that we have to act locally," he said.
Mr Rees said transport made up one-third of Eurobodalla's energy emissions and many short trips could be made on foot or by bicycle: "We have some good bicycle shared paths but they don't link up making it impossible to ride any distance in safety."
"Council has made emission reductions – down by 36% since 2005/06 – but the Pathways Strategy is limping along.
"$3.5 million has been allocated, spread over ten years, it's only petty cash in our shire's budget."

Boiling the Noodles
In a wide vessel, boil thrice the amount the quantity of water you will need. When it starts rolling boil, add the noodles and cook on high for 4 -5 mins, depending on your noodle thickness.
When the noodle is done, you can press it between your fingers to see if it is done, make sure it's not hot, the noodle should be soft but not very soft.
Run it under cold water immediately, then toss it with oil for the noodles not to stick together. You can alternatively spread under fan for it to get cooled.
Sweet Corn Vegetable Noodle Soup
Ingredients Needed:
Hakka Noodles – 1 cup
Mixed Vegetables – 1 cup (Carrot, Beans, Cabbage)
Sweet Corn – 1 cup
Green Chili sauce – 1 tsp
Soya Sauce – 1 – 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Pepper powder – 1 tsp
Water – 2 cups
Corn flour – 2 tbsp to be mixed in 1/2 cup water
How to make the Soup
Boil the noodles as instructed above. Keep it aside.
Boil the finely chopped vegetables for 10 mins, corn for 6 mins. Keep everything ready.
Add 2 cups of water in a non stick pan and bring to boil. Add the boiled vegetables along with corn and let it simmer for 5 mins.
Next add the corn flour water along with soya sauce, chili sauce, adjust spice, salt, pepper.
Finally add the boiled noodles and switch off when it starts to boil
The water will start to thicken because of corn flour, so make sure you don't cook for long.
Instead of cooking the vegetables separately you can boil in this pan itself, however you can save time cooking this way.

Two days ago, it was hard to imagine the Casey Anthony verdict being good news for America's kids. Anthony can't be tried in the death of daughter Caylee ever again. The not guilty verdict is set in stone, and sentencing this morning means Casey will spend a maximum of four years in prison for lying to police. But the anger swirling around America right now can turn Caylee's death into something positive.
Angry people vote. And one of the millions of pissed off Americans had found a way to harness the anger at Anthony skating on charges of murder, manslaughter, and child abuse. Michelle Crowder of Durant, Oklahoma is calling for Caylee's Law, a piece of legislation that would make it a felony for a parent to fail to report a missing child to law enforcement. And people are listening. Important people.
The fastest growing petition ever on Change.org, the Caylee's Law suggestion has garnered more than 250,000 signers in less than 36 hours. But more importantly it's starting to get backing from actual legislators who can put it in action. New York Assemblywoman Grace Meng. Representatives in Oklahoma and Florida. They're acting on the anger.
Because, like most of America, the one issue that really struck in my craw was Casey's failure to report her child missing for a full month. If my 6-year-old is out of my sight in a mall for more than a minute, I have palpitations and want to call out the National Guard. That a mother wouldn't call the cops when her 2-year-old was missing for more than an hour is unfathomable, and it's that despair that made me click on the petition, that makes me want to call my legislator to get on board.
Some will see Caylee's Law as pointless. Casey Anthony can't be tried again. Double jeopardy rules protect her from child abuse charges, and even if Caylee's Law is enacted, it would stand to reason that she's grandfathered. We can't simply make laws to catch people we're angry with.
This won't help Caylee directly. But it will help America's kids.
It will help the quarter of gay teens who are kicked out of their homes by their parents simply for admitting they love someone of the same gender, kids whose parents leave them to rot on the sidewalks. As it stands, parents CAN kick their kids out, and with rules that don't require they report them missing, abdicating their duties to love and protect their children isn't a felony.
It will help kids like Austin Eugene Bryant and Edward Dylan Bryant, boys who went missing 10 and 8 years ago respectively, whose parents never reported their disappearance. NEVER. In a decade. My first response when I heard that story back in March was "charge those parents with child abuse, now," but the cops were only charging them with taking adoption subsidies dishonestly.
Caylee's Law, or whatever you call it, would help us make sense of how a system will punish a parent with child abuse charges for leaving children unattended for a long period of time (and rightly so!) but let a parent skate for not reporting a child missing. It can't be one but not the other, America. That's why we need a law.
Caylee Anthony is gone. Her mother walks free. But people are still looking for some way to bring the little girl justice. Here it is, a way to turn her tragedy into something positive.
Do you see a need for Caylee's Law? Will this help with your anger over the verdict?

Two years ago, Brendan Burke told his father he was gay. This week, the 20-year-old son of Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke told the world. Mr. Burke's candid revelations about his sexual orientation, detailed in an espn.com article, have reignited a national discussion about gays in sports and trained a light on professional hockey - one of the few sports that has never had an athlete come out. In his first interview since going public, Mr. Burke tells The Globe and Mail about his managerial role with the Miami University (Ohio) RedHawks hockey team, about the support of his family and about whether Canadian junior hockey leagues are ready to welcome an openly gay teammate into the locker room.
What has the reaction been from friends, people on the team and family since the article came out?
From friends and family, it's been 100-per-cent supportive. They've been behind me from the beginning and the same goes for the Miami University hockey team. I've had a whole bunch of e-mail and Facebook messages from people I've never met, thanking me. I've had a lot of messages from people who said they are gay and stopped playing sports for the same reason… so people seem to be responding well to it.
What was the first phone call with your father like when the story came out? Was it, 'Well, here it comes dad … better get ready for it?
No. This was entirely my own choice to talk about this. Like my dad said in the article, he expressed to me that he wished I wouldn't be the one being so public about this because he was afraid of the reaction. But I know the reaction that he has had has been positive and he's happy the reaction I've received is positive. But, no, this wasn't sprung on us or surprised us. It was deliberate and planned and this is the way I wanted to do it, and my family thought it was a good idea, too.
Do you believe if you do choose a career as a hockey executive this won't be held against you?
I think for some people it's going to be an issue. I mean, there are some people who aren't going to get over this and will still hold it against me. That's the reality of the situation. That said, there's been a lot of support that my dad, my brother and I have heard from people around hockey. I've been encouraged by the response. Do I think there will be some people who would hold it against me? Yes.
You refer to homophobia in the locker room as a reason you stopped playing hockey. Do you think this is at all diminishing?
Like I've said before, my experience was basically with homophobic slurs and that kind of stuff. I think as soon as the stereotype of a gay person was replaced by someone they knew, or were friends with, it changed. Once they realized there might be a gay person next to them or a gay person in the locker room, the homophobia decreased greatly. Miami, like I said, has been supportive. I think it's a pretty special place, and the bond between the team there is pretty strong and a little unique.
We like to think a college hockey team would be a little more enlightened than, say, a junior team - to be blunt. I'm sure you have an awareness of junior hockey. Do you think this could happen in junior hockey?
To be honest, I'm not sure. I think that might take a little longer. We'll see. I know that a couple of friends of mine who have played junior hockey have been supportive, but as far as the culture around that? That's a bigger question and issue and I'm not sure how that would come about.
Will we see a high-profile athlete simply come out some day for whatever reason and say: 'Yep, here I am. I'm gay?' Or is there still a taboo surrounding it?
I think we will. Canada is a great place that has always been very accepting and as a country in general it's pretty gay-friendly…. So that's a good base to start from. As far as the NHL goes, what we'd need is for a former player to come out and talk about what his experiences were and what challenges he faced, and having that discussion and that player talk about it would be a good place for a current player to come out.
I guess it is part of the culture change, isn't it? The culture has to change a bit more before somebody can come out.
Yes, and what's good about my story.… I realize that the brunt of the story has been about who my dad is… but to me the important thing is that it's started a discussion and people realize there could be a gay person next to them in the locker room. And, you know, I think it's important that it's starting here. We started a discussion. Let's see where it goes.

Its definitely not a Christmas movie mate It garnered massive publicity with its inclusion of some extremely controversial content ,but I thought it was handled well by Matt Dillon who delivers a quite remarkable portrayal of the OCD affected serial killer and the intensity of Lars Von Trier's direction is at times 'although' shockingly visceral its also intelligently handled enough to slightly diffuse the ferity of the violence depicted. I think the film is a deeply cynical one and the scenes that caused such walkouts on mass at Cannes are without doubt the most impious in its cruelty I've seen on film ,callous ,devoid of empathy and with little sympathy for its audience but when all is said and done mate ,this is a Lars Von Trier film and the viewer should be aware of the nihilism that eventually bleeds its way through all his work.

Millwall 2 (Onyedinma 27, 82)
Reds 3 (Winnall 37, Mawson 56, Nyatanga 90+2)
Birthday boy Lewin Nyatanga popped up with a celebratory winner in stoppage time as Barnsley enjoyed all the points in the capital.
It was a fairly quiet opening as far as chances were concerned, with Abdou only slicing well wide with an ambitious effort on three minutes.
The Reds enjoyed a decent passage of play on eight minutes with Bree sending over a spectacular cross that Winnall seemed destined to meet at the far post but Nelson flicked away at the last second.
On 12 minutes Marley Watkins forced David Forde into a smart save as Crowley's deep cross found the forward in space. Watkins' volley to the near post had to be turned out for a corner by Forde.
Two minutes later Dan Crowley had a shot at goal himself but saw his placed effort land the wrong side of the post after cutting in from the left.
The home fans' frustrations at the opening 17 minutes were almost eased when Lee Gregory just missed out on a probable goal when Onyedinma's cross from the right just evaded his studs.
On 25 minutes the Reds probably should have opened the scoring. A Very neat counter-attack started by Bree and Pearson saw Crowley thread a ball into the path of Winnall but his shot lacked accuracy just as he raced in from the left-hand corner of the box, scooping over the bar.
When the opening goal did come, it came against the run of play. Somehow Onyedinma managed to dig out a shot whilst laid on the deck following a scramble in the box and his tame effort trickled over the line.
Millwall did have the ball in the net again on 33 minutes but the referee's assistant's flag was up for offside on Onyedinma.
The hosts' lead lasted 10 minutes as Sam Winnall notched his first of the season from barely a yard. Crowley's cross was controlled well by Watkins, whose shot across the face of goal was turned in by Winnall at the far stick.
Second half
The Reds were hopeful of starting the second half just as they started the first but the home side registered the first effort on target of the second half. Williams' goal-bound header was cleared off the line by Bree at the far post on 52 minutes.
On 56 minutes the Reds took the lead and it was through an emphatic finish by Alfie Mawson. When a free-kick by Hourihane dropped Mawson's way from Roberts' header, Mawson absolutely lashed into the bottom corner.
Reece Wabara was introduced for his Barnsley debut as he replaced James Bree at right-back two minutes after the Reds' second goal.
Just before the hour, Watkins almost made it 3-1 when he rifled just over the top corner from 22 yards following a great piece of robbery by the Reds on the edge of Millwall's box.
Millwall responded by making a double substitution with the home fans growing increasingly frustrated at the Reds' ability to win back and maintain possession.
Gregory and O'Brien both saw long-range efforts go wide on 74 minutes but at the other Barnsley really had Millwall on the ropes when they countered. Crowley this time dancing into the box before seeing his powerful cross cleared.
Physio Craig Sedgwick had to be called on for Ben Pearson as the midfielder went down following a challenge with Abdou.
The home side were desperately searching for a way back into the match and throwing everything into the box. Roberts was on hand to clear Cummings' dangerous ball on 80 minutes just before Ben Pearson read a ball into the channel well and prevent Onyedinma from creating a chance.
The Reds just couldn't hold onto their lead as, frustratingly, Millwall equalised through a free-header from Onyedinma - heading home an in-swinging corner on 82 minutes.
Barnsley could have made it 3-2 when they again countered to perfection through Watkins. His cross from the right set up a 50-50 between Forde and Rothwell that the goalkeeper managed to win.
With five minutes of added time indicated, the Reds huffed and puffed with Watkins running his blood to water.
His endeavours didn't go unrewarded as when he won a free-kick for a deliberate foul on the right, Hourihane swung in a brilliant cross that birthday boy Lewin Nyatanga rose highest to meet and head into the net in front of the travelling Tykes.
It could have been perfectly wrapped up by Conor Wilkinson when he latched onto Conor Hourihane's through-ball with a blistering strike but Forde denied him with a great save.
Soon after, the final whistle went and it was a deserved victory for the super Reds.

GOP alternatives look 'a hell of a lot' like ACA
House Republican leaders have assured the public, more than once, that they're eager to present a conservative alternative to the Affordable Care Act. It's been in the works for nearly five years and it's going to be awesome – any minute now.
Yesterday, however, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Bloomberg News that the plan is being delayed "at least a month." Of course, there was no target date in mind for its introduction, so no one has any idea what a one-month delay actually means in practical terms. For those of us who suspect the GOP plan will always remain just around the corner, yesterday's news simply meant adding "at least a month" to "never."
Regardless, from a Republican perspective, what seems to be the trouble? Sahil Kapur talked to a "congressional GOP health aide" who described the intra-party challenges.
He said devising an alternative is fraught with the difficulty of crafting a new benefits structure that doesn't look like the Affordable Care Act."If you want to say the further and further this gets down the road, the harder and harder it gets to repeal, that's absolutely true," the aide said. "As far as repeal and replace goes, the problem with replace is that if you really want people to have these new benefits, it looks a hell of a lot like the Affordable Care Act…. To make something like that work, you have to move in the direction of the ACA."
Imagine that.
It didn't get much attention at the time, but back in 2009, four former Senate Majority Leaders – Republicans Howard Baker and Bob Dole working with Democrats Tom Daschle and George Mitchell – got together to present a bipartisan blueprint for health care reform. The result, to borrow a phrase, looked a hell of a lot like the Affordable Care Act.
In 2006, then-Gov. Mitt Romney (R) worked with Massachusetts Democrats on their own reform model. What they came up with also looks a hell of a lot like the Affordable Care Act.
A pattern seems to be emerging.
For those who hate – or at least claim to hate – "Obamacare," the system itself is an outrageous assault on liberty, free enterprise, American values, and quite possibly, moms and apple pie. But if we move past the hysterics, even congressional Republicans, hardly a moderate bunch, are finding that in order to do health care reform properly, creating a system that stands a reasonable chance of success, there are some basic elements that are hard to ignore.
And once those unavoidable provisions – "community rating, the individual mandate, and subsidies" – are in place, reform plans are going to resemble the system Democrats approved in 2010.
To be sure, reformers could go in a very different direction – or more accurately, a far more progressive direction – and approve Medicare for all. This, too, would achieve the same goals without the ACA chassis.
But for Republicans, this would be worse. Indeed, this is what happens when policymakers start with a solution and try to work backwards to reach the agreed upon goal. GOP lawmakers decided in advance that Medicare for all isn't an option. Then they decided their plan couldn't resemble the Affordable Care Act.
What's left? Not a whole lot. Republicans are stuck with some stale half-measures – tort reform and buying across state lines – that no one seriously considers a health care "plan."
GOP policymakers can keep looking for an alternative solution for "at least a month," but they're likely to be disappointed.

Customer Reviews
This knife is perfect for me. I favor large, heavy, long throwers of a foot or more in length due to their longer period of rotation, larger sweet range, and deep penetration. Due to anatomical limitations, I like throwing undressed, bare handled knives with index holes in handle. I use a "cigarette throw", with the knife between my fore and middle finger, and knuckles even with the third hole. After buffing away the sharp edges of the third hole, this knife was totally compatible with all-out forceful throwing style. I recommend it for those who want a tough knife. Since sharpening a knife is just no big deal, I don't mind in the least that this came a little dull. My only criticisms of this is that it is not in stainless steel, had a durable but chippable baked-on black paint job, and came without a sheath. Those things would likely have raised the price of this affordable thrower. If not thrown at rock walls or armored vehicles, this knife will likely last for years.
Very heavy and intimidating. Came extremely dull - edge was completely flat - so it took quite a bit of sharpening. Handle design could use some work for better comfort but very good overall.
Nice hefty knife can throw conventional or no spin style. I have had this thing a year and is still going strong. Wish the handle was a little nicer I would pay the extra money to make it that way! Otherwise this thing is a tank!!
great thrower tip will dull slightly but blade is so thick it does not matter
This was my first throwing knife and the one I improved my technique with. The edges on this knife aren't meant to be that sharp. It's heavy, long and flies great! The weight of this knife makes it better at throwing from long distances as well. Great buy!
I agree with Steven Villagomez It's also a bit difficult to throw, you should learn the no spin method to throw this thrower, but it's 1075 High carbon steel so it's really strong, also as well the edges need to be sharpened which helps the knife with penetration into the target, so these often hit the target on point but bounce back due to lack of penetration power.
It's a nice throwing knife or something to stab with. It came with no sheath so it'll be hard to figure out where to put these without worry. I plan on using paracord so I can make a gripable handle for this. The blade designed from a company called Condor knife and tool (never heard of it) and made in El Salvador if I read it correctly. It seems durable. The reason why I have this a 3/5 has nothing to do with Trueswords, they are great. It's the blade itself that was the problem. The only sharp part is the point. The 2 sides are not sharp or anything like it, it seemed like a false edge or extremely dulled out that it wouldn't be used as a butter knife. Hopefully a sharpener can fix this. Overall, it's a nice knife and I'm sure the only way to throw this is using the no spin technique, if you can do that (I'm learning from videos) then you should get this blade.

The Children's Crusade
We've tried to assert a little more adult supervision into this movement.
~John Prendergast
As SDAP mentioned before, that's what Prendergast said in response to Mahmood Mamdani's claim that the save Darfur movement's high school aged activists are "child soldiers." I always thought this accusation was a bit unfair because young people are more likely to be involved in all types of progressive-sounding advocacy movements; it doesn't mean that the save Darfur movement is actively targeting them. So without offering evidence that the movement is specifically marketing militarism to children, comments like that amount to speculative polemics – kind of a dick move for a well respected academic (although I can totally see cranky bloggers making that kind of comment).
So, I thought I'd take a look at some of the save Darfur advocacy materials designed for children's consumption. Suffice it to say I think this Mamdani guy might be onto something. While advocacy among young people is indisputably admirable and important in changing political will, some in the save Darfur movement seem to prey upon children's idealism and desire to help Darfuris. Take, for example, the Save Darfur Coalition's Dollars for Darfur campaign, which is a three year old, nationwide fundraising competition among high school and middle school students. Half of the money raised gets donated to SDC and half goes to a humanitarian aid organization. Last year, they raised $150,000 and this year their goal was to raise $200,000 but they claim to have only raised "over $100,000."
An important part of SDC's recruitment of young advocates involves the rhetoric used on the Dollars for Darfur website and awareness-raising materials. For example, once a child stumbles upon the Dollars for Darfur website and wants to learn more about the conflict, they can click on the "Learn*" tab and find the following:
The current crisis in Darfur began in 2003. After decades of neglect, drought and oppression, two rebel groups mounted an insurgency against Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir. President al-Bashir's response was brutal. To defeat the rebel movements, he armed and supported several militant groups, now collectively known as the Janjaweed.
The Janjaweed, with the Sudanese government's support, has wiped out entire villages, destroyed food and water supplies, and systematically murdered, tortured, and raped hundreds of thousands of Darfuris.
That passage certainly describes the horrific actions of the Sudanese government accurately, but see how it uses almost excusatory language to describe the rebels; sort of suggesting that the rebellion is understandable because it was only launched after "decades of neglect, drought and oppression?" Even the language used to describe similar types of violence differs depending on who the perpetrator is: The rebels "mounted an insurgency" while the government's response was "brutal." Are insurgencies not brutal as well? Interestingly, very similar language is used in materials for the Violence Against Women campaign, though I didn't address the issue when I wrote about the campaign in an earlier post.
Also telling is their PowerPoint presentation, which is designed to educate children. In a bulleted timeline on the fifth slide, it says "Nov. 2005 – 400,000 dead" and the accompanying notes (what the presenter is supposed to say along with each slide) say:
…in November of 2005, the death toll was estimated at 400,000 people. The Sudanese government still claims that only 9,000 have died in the conflict.
Interesting. The rest of SDC's activist materials, i.e. those not geared specifically toward children, claim that only 300,000 have died "from both direct and indirect causes, estimated by the United Nations." That exact language appears in the general flier and the general petition, both of which are available on the age-nonspecific Activist Resources page. Meanwhile, the slide show and publicity materials available on the Dollars for Darfur site – like the brochure, flier and handbill – all estimate that "as many as 400,000 have died." Now SDC has been criticized before for claiming that the death toll was 400,000, so they quietly changed the number to 300,000 everywhere. Well, everywhere except in the materials they distribute to children, apparently. Now why on earth would they continue to exaggerate the number of casualties in the materials given to children if they lowered the number on other materials? If anything, shouldn't the details of the conflict that they provide to kids be less gruesome and horrific than in their other materials, as opposed to more? Isn't it the responsibility of the adults within the movement to use only accurate and age-appropriate information when engaging children in advocacy?
Additionally, there's a document called Sample Curricula and Student Activities, which tells teachers how to indoctrinate teach students about Darfur.
It's not all bad. Some good points include its mention of desertification as a factor in the conflict, which is rather a rare find in Darfur literature outside of academia, much less in materials from advocacy organizations who prefer to keep their messaging simple:
Move the discussion to desertification and its impact on Darfur. Ask students their opinions about the reasons for man-made desertification and tell them that as early as 1988, scientists were warning of the expansion of the Sahara desert into Darfuri lands farther south.
It also tries to make sure to not simplify the conflict into Arab vs. African terms, a sin that SDC's committed in the past, by telling teachers:
Give a short background to the history of the conflict and the myth that the crisis in Darfur is an Arab versus African conflict. Explain that the Janjaweed militias, the main perpetrators of the violence, are generally labeled as "Arabs" and the civilians as "Africans". This creates the myth that the crisis is an "Arab vs. African" conflict.
Later, it kind of falls into the very pattern it condemns, though, by saying:
The Janjaweed are militiamen supported by the Sudanese government. The majority of them are Arab nomads from Sudan, but more recently, Sudan has brought in Arabs from other countries to inhabit the land once occupied by Darfuris and to work with the Janjaweed.
In an entirely different document available on the Dollars for Darfur site, they even say "the Janjaweed – Arab militias backed by the Sudanese government – began attacking black Africans." It only gets worse. Remember when I said that they almost cast the rebels in a sympathetic light? Yeah, well they do it again:
Two rebel groups mounted an insurgency against the government. These people had been experiencing severe drought and had no resources or supplies and no help from the government. The government responded to the insurgency with brute force. They began a campaign against not just the Darfur rebel groups but innocent Darfuri citizens as well, bombing their villages, raping their women and children, and killing the men. This has forced 2.5 million people from their homes and has left up to 400,000 dead.
So not only do they seem to make more excuses for rebels but they once again claim that 400,000 people have died, a claim that seems to no longer appear on SDC's updated activist materials. Again, why in the world aren't the most accurate, up-to-date materials available on the Dollars for Darfur site, the website that school children visit?
At the end of the document, it suggests:
Teachers can end the lesson by asking students to reflect on life in Darfur and the differences between our good fortune and their poverty. This can lead to many different discussions, including social responsibility…
So, is this supposed to be a lesson in noblesse oblige or something? 'Cause to me it smacks of a frustrated mother's dinnertime guilt trip. "Sweetie, eat your peas. Think of all the starving people in Africa. They'd kill for those peas!" Ah guilt, the final refuge of pious Africa watchers who've run out of pretty words. And is "social responsibility" anything like "responsibility to protect?" Let's not even get into that can o' worms right now.
Perhaps the most telling document is the In District Advocacy Guide, which tells kids to speak to their congressperson. In the Policy "Asks" section, which tells children what to ask their representatives to do, the third item says:
Ask your Senators and Representative to push for actions called for in Save Darfur's plan entitled, "Saving Darfur: A Plan for the Obama administration."
Now, in that fancy new Blueprint for Peace thingy, the save Darfur movement tries to imply that it's only suggesting the possibility of military humanitarian intervention in Darfur as a last resort, if diplomatic efforts fail. Well, Saving Darfur: A Plan for the Obama Administration, the document to which SDC directs children for reference when developing "asks" for policy makers, urges the administration to:
Ensure the full and effective deployment of a military force that actively protects Darfuri civilians
In expanding upon this bullet point, the document says to urge the administration to fully deploy UNAMID forces, but then adds at the end:
If, however, it becomes apparent that UNAMID cannot succeed, then the Obama administration should explore other options for protecting Darfuri civilians.
Hmm…seeing as how this sentence is under the "Ensure the full and effective deployment of a military force" section of the document, one must wonder: What "other options" must the administration explore? Other military options, specifically? And if so, are we talking about deploying American troops here? Should kids call Dream for Darfur to get Blackwater's email address? You know, just in case someone needs to go in there and bust some skulls?
Collectively, despite its positive points, the Dollars for Darfur campaign's borderline sympathetic portrayal of rebels, exaggeration of the death toll, the odd way it urges students to consider how much better off they are than the poor little Darfuris and the overt implication that military intervention is necessary may belie SDC's claims that the campaign is innocently designed to merely "harnesses the power and energy of young people to help end the humanitarian crisis in Darfur." This is particularly heartbreaking because we're talking about young activists here who undoubtedly only have the best of intentions at heart. But instead of providing these kids, who are taking their first steps into the world of activism, with unbiased facts or a broad range of policy prescriptions, the campaign only makes it seem like there's a clear distinction between the "good guys" and the "bad guys" and that those of us fortunate enough to be Americans have a responsibility to intervene – perhaps militarily – when we hear about atrocities like this. So if Mr. Prendergast wants more adult supervision of the movement's children, maybe he should start with supervising the adults who supervise those children. The adult save Darfur advocates are the real problem here, and the result of their mismanagement may be a generation of activists whose knee-jerk reaction to future humanitarian crises will be to call for military intervention. I can already hear the pitter-patter of little war drums.
*The mortality figure on the What's Happening in Darfur page of the Dollars for Darfur site was changed from 400,000 to 300,000 after this post was published. Please refer to the explanation and screenshots in my follow up post.

MOTs £34.99
MOTs at a CarShop Service Centre
At CarShop we work with fully trained technicians to help ensure that your car is carefully inspected to remain safe on the road. Our team will guide you through the process of obtaining a new car MOT and, should it fail, we'll give you an accurate assessment of what's needed to ensure it passes. Our in-store technicians can perform any work necessary to ensure your car meets the MOT requirements, and you will be given a quotation prior to any work commencing.
Don't forget that all cars, after three years of their original registration date, require a car MOT by law. You can MOT your car one month before your current certificate expires and the balance will be added to your new document.
What does a car MOT test check involve?
It's essentially to check that your car is safe to be on the road. The actual test takes around an hour and includes comprehensive checks of the tyres, brakes, lights, steering system, suspension and emission levels. If your vehicle passes, a new car MOT (VT20 pass certificate) will be issued. Should it fail, you will receive a VT30 fail certificate and a form which shows the work required to bring the vehicle up to the legally required standard.
In some instances an advisory note may also be issued. This shows items that, whilst legal at the point of test, certain items are nearing the end of their serviceable life and will probably need to be replaced before your next MOT.

AlJazeera today has an article about the non-violent movement in Syria -- Yes, a non-violent movement. Who knew?
by Rania Khalek
AlJazeera September 9, 2013 4:30AM ET
The Syrian Non Violence Movement continues, despite being largely ignored in the conversation about Syria.Ozan Kose/AFP/Getty Images
…. Typically ignored ... are the voices of the non-violent opposition movement that took to the streets to challenge Assad in March 2011, and which has persisted against great odds.
"No matter how beleaguered it is, civil resistance continues," says Mohja Kahf, a Professor of Middle East studies and literature at the University of Arkansas and a member of the Syrian Non Violence Movement (SNVM). A network of peaceful groups remains active in opposition to the regime inside Syria, their activities plotted by SNVM on an interactive map that can be viewed online.
Although it was the activists in such groups that originally drove the nationwide uprising against the Assad regime, these days much of their activity involves triage, mitigating the impact of the civil war and building the capacity for self-governance in towns no longer under regime control.
[There is] … a flourishing alternative media infrastructure [in Syria, with] grassroots councils to run local government [that] organize humanitarian relief in areas vacated by the regime, and projects such as the Karama Bus -- or "bus of dignity" -- which travels around Idlib province offering psycho-social support for internally displaced children. "For Syrians living in Syria, just surviving and engaging in daily activities is a form of opposition, a form of activism," said Salahi.
Many such efforts are funded by the Syrian diaspora. Rafif Jouejati, a Syrian-American activist organizing solidarity work describes its results as including schools in Idlib, media centers in Aleppo, relief-distribution in Homs and a planned water-treatment facility in Deir Ezzor.
And while many Syrians who first engaged in peaceful protest later turned to arms in the face of the regime's crackdown, others continue to do non-violent political work.

I couldn't sleep at all last night because Ruby's away on holiday and Junior was at his Dads. My mind couldn't settle because the two beings, that make my heart worth it, weren't by my side. It's mental, because when they're there all the time, they literally drive me nuts. Yet, as soon as they disappear…GOSH, I DO miss them, madly.
I'm not arsed about doing life on my own.
Give me love, family, a team, a partner…anything? Just give me energy. Give me great people. (The shit ones, i'm not bothered about having around me. Lol.)
I went out for an early tea, had a couple drinks, watched the Leeds game, with my mates Webbo & Scott. (Who chucked a 'find your phone,' bleepy thing across a car park, because it reminded him of his ex wife.)
Last night, I actually learnt how much sex means to a man. How much 'feeling adored' means to a guy.
It was a good night..
I felt tipsy and when i'm tipsy, I have the worst night's sleep. I have no clue why? I'll just toss, sweat and turn in my sheets, naked, as my head fills up, with the weirdest dreams ever.
It's shit!
The good thing is I shocked myself up 6:06 am. I felt awful, dehydrated, my head killed and I had the worst stomach ache. So I ended up naked dashing to the loo, half blind, only to grab a length of tissue, pat down my brow and crash again.
The next time my eyes opened….and they opened to shouting, was at 8:03am…
At 8:03am, I felt fine. I literally felt amazing. So, I figured, I was really lucky, because The Gods had given a second shot at figuring out Wednesday. 😉
You've godda thank life for those moments…
Anyway, I actually had an exciting phone call yesterday, which got me 'juiced' for potential 'good times.' I don't know what's gonna happen, but hopefully wonderful things? We'll see…everything happens for a reason.
Even though I was chipper, I got kinda bored yesterday and drank loads because if it. Boredom's a swine for that, innit? Boredom and I are not good friends. I spent my life getting myself into trouble because of Boredom. Then he teamed up with Cupid…and ruined things over and over again for me. Lol.
I did ALWAYS look GOOD though…. whilst getting into trouble.
I mean, The Devil DOES wear Prada. 😉
But yes, good news phone calls. A lot of work is going down. A lot of looking around, at people and feeling that I'm about to shimmie into another new chapter. Everyone looks like their stuck in a life rut? Me however, I'm feeling lucky girl. I'm still poured over with attention. Influencing & blogging are going fabulously.
Jodie: 'You should get paid more because I ONLY booked the Kitty Cafe, after seeing your post..'
( I love that. 🙂 I love influencing. It gets my 'jiggy' all a jolly.)
Everyone always asks me how or why influencers, bloggers & vloggers get paid? The above…is exactly why!
I'm an old school girl, with a new school career…and it's juicy! I'm almost 'traditional,' with a modern day twist by nature…and I love it because it makes me feel really whole. Makes me feel really well rounded.
I've learnt everything the hard way. Yet that's how you learn. I've never given up. I've known that getting past the struggle is what makes you develop. I've always given up in love however…(Which i find weird.)
Someone asked me yesterday…why I thought I was 37 single, with 3 marriages under my belt and two babies, to two different fathers…and I paused….thought a little while and replied with a simple..
'I really don't know?'
I'm that tragic, I have no clue? Lol. Is it because i've lost all hope now? Is it because i'm an egomaniac? It is because i'm so romantic, that I've lost myself in a haze of 'pretend it's not happening?' Is it because i'm shit at coupling up? Or is it because i'm so picky?
Who knows???
It's just my story and if I tell you the truth…I love it. If I didn't have that story, i would never have been able to start building a little Wunna empire…There's a happy ending in it for me, one day. I'm sure? Well I fucking hope! Hahah….
I have excitement on it's way to me and being made with adventure in my bones…I'm ready for it. I'm living with a sassy kink in my step and i'm loving it. I'm doing me and doing it well. Something's due. I have a cocktail dripped feeling for it and my gut feeling is exactly on point, right now. It's so good, it's sexy.
Scott: 'I love it when you say you can feel it in your bones…Haha.'
So, right now, I'm kicking off my kitten heels. I'm still answering all your questions on my Insta story, right now...(@chrissiewunna.) Tinker over. Get involved!
If I miss your questions, it's not deliberate… I'm literally inundated with quezzies…So, i'm picking them at random…
(I had to freestyle a poem about DICKS today! How was YOUR Wednesday.)
Shit!! forgot to tell ya! Yesterday evening… I received three voice notes from a gentleman…I've never met him, but he's intorduced himself to me previously and i've chatted to him briefly via voice note! He just seems so grown and so lovely? Maybe I need that? We'll see…
Anyway, godda go. I'm chilling with Junior and I now have an 11am audition, in the morning…
Thank you for following my life…

It's tough to beat something that you are genetically predisposed to. It's so sad to see young people who suffer from heart problems, because it runs in the family. But, if you are worried about your heart health because your mom's or dad's side of the family has a history of the ailment, there may be hope.
According to a new study, people who eat a Mediterranean diet, even those with a genetic predisposition for heart problems, have better heart function.
"This means that the autonomic system controlling someone's heart rate works better in people who eat a diet similar to a Mediterranean diet," said the study's leader Jun Dai, MD, PhD. One's heart rate can be analyzed for heart risk factors.
One interesting piece of evidence is that the Mediterranean diet seemed to be associated with higher heart rate variability (HRV), which is a measure of the time between a person's heart beats. A lower variability in heart rate is a risk factor for coronary artery disease.
A Mediterranean-style diet includes fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and is low in saturated fats.

Plea to Ombudsman over Freemasons
Jan. 20, 2004
The Western Mail
AN MP is urging Wales to follow England's lead on a ruling over Freemasonry.
Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Jackie Lawrence wants Freemasons to be forced to declare their membership when they become councillors.
Her call follows a ruling by the Local Government Standards Board in England, that membership of the Freemasons must be declared under the Councillors' Code of Conduct. Mrs Lawrence, who has long campaigned on the issue, has written to the Local Government Ombudsman in Wales urging him to implement similar guidance.
"Government at every level needs to be open and transparent. That is why councillors, AMs and MPs have to declare their interests when they take office," she said.
"It seems a major anomaly that membership of a secret society like the Freemasons should to date have been ignored as a potential interest.
"This ruling in England makes declaration obligatory. It is a significant step in making local government wholly transparent."
Under the Code of Conduct in England, councillors must declare membership of charities - and part of the subscription fees to lodges go to the Freemasons' Grand Charity.

Firstly we need to define what is digital transformation. It is the integration of digital technology into all areas of the Company but is important to consier that this transformation requires a change of business not of tools which is extremely important in order to have a radical change that impacts the organization.
The challenge about digital transformation within the Direct Selling Industry is the constant renewal of habits and style of consumers and distributors, for example huge E-commerce sites, attendance time, transparency of offers and Price.
There is one business model that includes having representatives. It can be a valuable asset if consultants are used as ambassadors of the digital era not only as a sales logistic agent, this last one consumes an enormous period of time, that is why it is important to take into account how to empower them as ambassadors with time and effort restrictions.
There are four successful pilars:
- Product
- Opportunity
- Technology
- Brand
These pillars are an incredible opportunity in the field, in which success can be achieved using the adequate technology through unique, competitive products combined with a powerful Brand. It is key to leave the comfort zone and think outside the box to achieve greater results and truly bring transformation into Direct Selling companies.
Finally, needs and wishes must be to have big opportunities in short periods of time with no effort or a Little effort at all (Which is what new generations are constantly seeking). Technology can solve this issue and turn i tinto an opportunity, integrating all these functionalities within the organization and with the distributors.

| 22.1°C Dublin
A young man has fled from custody while at Tallaght Hospital - less than two months after the high-profile escape of violent inmate Derek Brockwell when he was brought to the same facility for medical treatment.
However, unlike the Brockwell case, the 23-year-old Dubliner was in the custody of gardai and not the prison service when he attended the hospital for a surgical procedure.
The bizarre incident took place at 3.20am on Tuesday when the Ronanstown man simply ran out of the facility.
He had earlier been picked up by officers on a bench warrant in the Lucan area.
Despite a detailed search of the area, the suspect was not found and was still on the run last night.
No violence was used during this week's escape and sources say that gardai believe the 23-year-old was acting on his own and no one is suspected of helping him.
The young man is from Coldcut Road, in Roananstown.
The hospital he escaped from was at the centre of an international news story in February after the dramatic escape of savage thug Brockwell.
On the afternoon of his escape, Brockwell produced a knife which had been left for him in a toilet by an accomplice in the diabetic unit of the hospital.
The Scottish national then stabbed prison officers Dan Buckley and Graham Flynn but he was arrested 30 hours later by the PSNI at a pub Belfast.
He is now in custody in England where he is serving a life sentence.

Returning To Team After Missing Season With Injury
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – It wasn't easy for junior Makai Mason to watch from the bench this season. Mason, who earned first team All-Ivy recognition and scored 31 points in Yale's NCAA Tournament victory over Baylor as a sophomore, suffered a season-ending injury in a closed scrimmage with Boston University one week before the opener at Washington. What he saw, though, from his teammates made it much more bearable.
"Watching the growth of everyone on the team, and every individual embracing a bigger role made it easier," he said.
Mason's support of his mates didn't go unnoticed. He has been elected captain of the 2017-18 Yale men's basketball team. The announcement was made at the end of Wednesday's postseason banquet following a team vote. Mason will join classmates Landon Russell, Noah Yates and Eric Anderson in leading the Bulldogs.
"I'm honored to be elected captain," said Mason, who had been selected as last year's preseason Ivy League Player of the Year by a number of outlets. "I'm excited to have the privilege of leading this group of guys alongside Landon, Noah and Eric. I think everyone is excited about the potential that this team has for next year."
The Bulldogs, who despite Mason's absence reached the championship game of the inaugural Ivy League Tournament before suffering a close loss to Princeton, return a wealth of talent and will be a heavy favorite to make it back to the Ivy Tournament next year.
Mason will certainly be driven to lead Yale to the postseason.
"Being out so long made me appreciate playing the game more and made me even more passionate for the game," he said.
Mason said his recovery Is going well. He is currently able to participate in most basketball activities.
"It feels great to be back out there again," he said.
Mason burst onto the national college basketball scene when he shot 9-of-18 from the field and 11-of-11 from the free throw line en route to scoring 31 points in Yale's 79-75 upset of Baylor in the NCAA Tournament. It capped a breakout season for Mason, who became just the fourth sophomore in school history to earn first team All-Ivy recognition. He finished fifth in the Ivy League in scoring (16.0 ppg.), third in assists (3.8 per game), sixth in free throw percentage (.806) and third in minutes played (32.7 per game).
As a freshman, he was the recipient of the team's John C. Cobb Outstanding Freshman Award and was third on the team with 51 assists.
"Makai is a natural leader who has great knowledge of our program," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of the Bulldogs.
Yale is tentatively scheduled to open the 2017-18 season against Creighton on Nov. 10.

Provided below are several points that should be taken into consideration when looking to purchase a new laptop.
