Introducing Mafinga's next generation (hopefully)!
We are so incredibly proud of and happy with our "Ijaba-Litter" (Mafinga Chikara Chikumbi x Kangelani's Impressive Ino by Ascot), all such lovely pups! For a long time we wanted to add a Chikumbi puppy girl to our pack but we just couldn't decide between these two stunning girls, so these 2 will stay with us:
left to right:
* Vizara Luangwa Ijaba (CH Vizara Glenara x Je Yapha Ben Shemen)
* Mafinga Inghinn Ijaba (CH Mafinga Chikara Chikumbi x CH Kangelani's Impressive Ino by Ascot)
* Mafinga Itayi Ijaba ((CH Mafinga Chikara Chikumbi x CH Kangelani's Impressive Ino by Ascot)
* Mafinga Chikara Chikumbi ( CH Vizara Luangwa Ijaba x CH Noldor Majestic Sinbest
Annemarie made some more lovely photo's, see them below:
Ijaba litter born on 27-01-2017
We are very happy to announce the arrival of the MAFINGA IJABA LITTER (Chikumbi x Ino). We have 11 beautiful pups ( 6 f - 5 m). The delivery has not been an easy road because 1 pup blocked the "exit" and so today the pups are born by C-section. We are so relieved Chikumbi & pups are doing well!
Chikumbi started her heat on Friday 11th november.
We are very much looking forward to our trip to Norway to meet Ino and the Kifani pack!
Luxembourg was amazing!!!
Family fun & photo's
Together with Hans & Laura and the Mafinga pack of 6, we spent a few days in the always lovely Bourscheid. We had a relaxed time, made lovely walks in the forest and took the time to make some nice family photo's of the dogs. For us as breeders it is so special to have all these family members together and seeing the resemblance in exterior and also very much in character.
RRCL Clushow: BOB Mafinga Dziya Mushana - BOS Mafinga Hombarume 'Hunter"
Then on sunday we attended the RRCL clubshow and this day turned out to become a breeders dream come true!
Our girl Mafinga Dziya Mushana was Best Bitch and BOB and her son Mafinga Hombarume 'Hunter' was Best male/BOS. How special to have mother and son compete for BOB! For Hunter this is the second year in a row to win Best male and now the Heike Will trophy comes home to the Mafinga team again ;-)
Even more special is the fact that Dziya's mother Ijaba won BISS RRCN Speciality (dutch clubshow) under the same judge in 2010! So we made a lovely group photo with miss Hapaaniemi and her "winners" Dziya - Hunter & Ijaba. Again a very special moment!
The rest of the family also did a fantastic job at the RRCL clubshow:
- Mafinga Chikara Chikumbi 2 exc CH class with ResCACL
- Mafinga Dhunduru 2 exc CH class with ResCACL
- Mafinga Funidza 'Cooper' shortlisted to last 7 of strong open class
Thanks to judge E. Hapaaniemi for this memorable day and nice words about our dogs.
Thanks to the RRCL for a lovely organised show with a great atmosphere.
You can check out all the photo's of the show below:

- Brings psychiatry to underserved communities
- Facilitates 24/7 mental healthcare access
- Overcomes travel limitations many patients face
- Captures casework for teaching opportunities
Breaking Barriers to Psychiatric Care
Access to mental healthcare is scarcer than most medical services and Gosnold on Cape Cod is looking to change that. As a premiere treatment facility in a relatively remote region, Gosnold on Cape Cod explores video conferencing as a way to evolve treatments for both patients and providers.
"What's critical to recovery is having care that's accessible immediately," says Lori McCarthy, National Director of Clinical Outreach at Gosnold on Cape Cod. "Instead of a patient having to wait weeks to see a psychiatrist or medical provider, they can be assessed, evaluated, treated, or given access to medication."
Video conferencing has ramped up the level of collaboration from the provider side. "We support nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, counselors, and psychiatrists," reports Dr. Domenic Ciraulo, chief medical advisor at Gosnold on Cape Cod. "Collaborative solutions allow many people to be in the room, whether they're in Boston or New York, so you can have a case discussion that typically requires a team meeting of five to six experts."
From the patient end, one of the unexpected benefits is the ease children have adopted the technology for treatment. "The kids don't ever want to get off," notes Dr. Ciraulo. "The therapists are amazed that this kind of relationship can develop with a person on the other end of the video. There is a real sense of attachment and caring on both sides."
The technology has helped extend limited resources in communities where there is a shortage of licensed caregivers. "We don't have enough psychiatrists and people are constrained because of transportation issues. That brings us to a place of innovation," says Ray Tamasi, chief executive officer at Gosnold on Cape Cod. "We have some pretty ambitious targets. We can see cases in two days instead of four weeks and I think that's got to make things better for people."
When treating patients with dual issues such as addiction and depression, a special level of attention is needed. "When patients are going through withdrawal, this connection is very important," says Margaret Shapiro, director of nursing at Gosnold on Cape Cod. "Patients are really vulnerable when they come here. If they could see someone face-to-face in a video, it is very calming for them."
The ultimate goal is to fully implement the modern delivery of behavioral healthcare to integrate right into the primary care office. "The patient does not have to face the barrier of going to a mental health clinic unless it's absolutely necessary," explains Dr. Ciraulo. "That's where we see the greatest expansion."

August 2016 - Beans, #24
She just goes by Beans. It's a deceiving name in roller derby, revealing nothing of the type of dominating skater that she is on the track. Not only does Beans possess buns of steel, she's got fast feet and killer hits that crush the souls of opposing jammers. Her calm leadership and positive attitude have helped to take the Boardwalk Bombshell All-Stars up the Women's Flat Track Derby Association rankings to #23 in the world.
We're also fortunate to have Beans lend her talents as a coach for the Santa Cruz Derby Groms, our junior derby league. Beans' Bombshell teammate and fellow Grom Coach Hellth Hazard says, "Along with teaching our youngest skaters the skills it takes to play roller derby, she builds confidence in these young women and strives to bring the best out of each skater." Recently back to skating after having surgery on a long-time shoulder injury this summer, we're excited to see her back on the track with our All-Stars. Watch Beans and the rest of the All-Stars compete at the WFTDA Division I playoffs in Columbia, South Carolina, September 9-11.

P3 Party Place Offers Parents Childcare on an As-Needed Basis
Innovative Service Also Provides Morning Preschool, Space to Host Weekend Parties
There's no shortage of things to do at the P3 Party Place, which provides
a preschool program, a drop-in activity center, and a space to hold parties.
By George Walsh
Special to NETWORK
Finding qualified and safe childcare can be a challenge for any parent. Finding a childcare solution that not only makes parents feel secure but is something that children actually enjoy can be even more of a rarity. P3 Party Place, at 5688 Stoneridge Drive, strives to fulfill all of these needs for children who are from two to 14 years of age as well as their parents. As an added benefit, P3's services are available on an as-needed, drop-in basis.
"We basically offer three different services," says Christina Petrosky, president and founder of P3 Party Place. "We have parties on Sundays from 9:30 am to 7:00 pm. We have a drop in activity center that is open from 9:00 am to 9:30 pm Monday through Thursday and 11:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. We also have a preschool program in the morning from 9:15 am to 11:30 am. Whenever parents need us, they just have to let us know the day before they need us or even early on the day that they will be bringing their children here."
P3 Party Place has been in business since October 2004 and currently provides services for 50 children. The 2,300 square foot facility has a rock climbing wall, basketball hoop, karaoke stage, 25 feet of mirrors (in front of which Petrosky says the children dance), air hockey, and a reading/computer room where the preschool program takes place in the morning and older children can study in the afternoon. P3 also has a tea-party and "dress up" room where children can put on costumes to play the roles of princes, princesses and other characters. P3 Party Place is intended to offer children both teacher-organized and child-initiated activities in both group and individual settings. The center's activities are selected to promote socialization, listening skills and motor development. Every month, P3 provides activities that include science, arts and crafts, and sensory exploration. The idea is to make it a center for children to learn while they're having fun.
Petrosky stresses that her staff of four is both professional and experienced. "All of the people who work here have at least a bachelor's degree and are at least 30 years old. They have a history in early childhood education and have all had TrustLine background checks." TrustLine is California's registry of in-home child care providers who have passed a background screening. All caregivers listed with TrustLine have been cleared through a fingerprint check of records at the California Department of Justice and have no disqualifying criminal convictions or substantiated child abuse reports in California.
Petrosky initially started P3 Party Place to have a business that she enjoyed while being able to spend as much time as possible with her own three daughters. In fact, her daughters are the "P3" in her company's name. "I wanted to do something where my children could be with me all the time," Petrosky says. "I used to be a financial controller working on startup companies and the hours I spent on the job made me feel like I was missing out on a lot." Petrosky and her clients aren't the only ones who think that P3 Party Place is a good idea. Due to interest from others who would like to start their own Party Place, Petrosky is considering franchising in the near future.

The cat actually likes to have her picture taken - but gives us the look that she may be in opposition of that (an actor, for sure)
The cold days are upon us, but at least the sun and shadow allows us to feel a little warmer now, although the cold gray winter sky awaits us...

Did 'Spartacus' Get the Legend Right?
Starz's "Spartacus" series has reached its moving end. Although it took liberties with the historical facts, the finale was loyal to Spartacus's legend and its great theme – freedom. Spartacus meets his fate but he lives on as one of history's most famous slaves and one of its greatest freedom fighters.
Or so the myth says. The Romans remembered Spartacus differently, as a kind of terrorist. Objectively, the historical Spartacus fought for freedom – his own. He probably did not object to slavery as an institution. Very, very few people did in the ancient world. Instead, he probably complained only about his own unjust enslavement and that of his followers. He didn't try to free all slaves in Italy but only those who could fight for him. But his magnificent and doomed struggle against Roman oppression has made him a symbol of a higher cause.

Ahhhh. Springtime. It has a way of dramatically announcing it's presence. It starts with a tickle on the back of my throat that escalates to a running nose only to linger in the "I can't breathe" phase until all the newly blooming flowers start to wilt.
My husband, who isn't phased by pollen, stops to smell the beautiful lilacs at the gate to our yard every time we head out for a daily walk. He tells me they smell lovely. From their bright color and delicate petals, it isn't hard to believe him.
Last year, we planted cornflowers in our lower beds outside our vacation rental. The flowers were white with a bright purple interior. Such as:
Gorgeous. While we still have the original, it looks like Mother Nature went a bit crazy with her dye job on the newer stems:
But one of my favourite yard blooms are these:
The reason being is that they remind me of The Honkers from Sesame Street:
Happy Spring!

Sunday funday, can give some people FOMO. You feel that you need to be taking advantage of this day on the weekend. Watching the football game at the pub, checking out the latest festival, and/or having a late bottomless brunch with your friends. But do you have to?
What's wrong with being a little lazy?
Sometimes a "funday" can be a day at home, with your family/friends/pets or just you. Sometimes it's a day on the couch catching up on the shows you missed having a life during the week. Sometimes it's a mid-afternoon nap after your workout. Sometimes, it's making a hot pot of chili, and reading a good book.
You have permission.
Sometimes your mind and body need a little time to recoup and have some chill time. It's ok to just catch up on "productive" emails and watch a good chick flick. Watching a marathon on netflix of Friends or One Tree Hill (speaking for a friend, here) is totally legit. Your body sometimes needs a little mindlessness to get back to being productive later that day or the next morning. Sometimes your body needs to not go to the gym in order to allow your muscles a rest. Other times your body needs a break from thinking so much (about everything) that joking with your friends via text while watching your fave show together, is exactly what the doctor ordered.
And if you're still unsure, because you just don't know how to turn off – Ask yourself…is this making me happy right now? Is this how I want to spend my day? Part of you may be thinking, but I should go do X, but ask yourself again. Do you want to do X or is it just FOMO speaking?
Take a minute. Be mindful of your own needs. And if today your needs say be a little more chill, then do it.
Be lazy.

"You mean Thomayaar koil? Straight ahead!" replies an auto-rickshaw driver as we stop at Thiruvithamcode in Kanyakumari district to ask for directions to the heritage church that is popularly known as Arapally. The church is believed to have been consecrated by St. Thomas the Apostle, circa 63 AD.
And suddenly, there it is – Thiruvithamcode Arapally (officially St. Mary's Syrian Church), cute and quaint, almost hidden amid the coconut groves and lotus ponds of this charming border village near Thuckalay, a short drive from the National Highway that connects Thiruvananthapuram and Kanyakumari; a place that still bears traces of a time when the entire coast was ruled by the maharajas of erstwhile Travancore.
At first sight, tiny, neatly-maintained Arapally, built of quarry stone, with its granite pillars and lamps, tiled roof and latticed wooden foyer, really does look like one of the innumerable temples that dot the region. "The word 'ara' in Arapally doesn't necessarily mean 'half' as is understood in the local language. Instead, it could denote a royal connection because the Dravidian word for king, 'Arasan'. The king's palace was termed 'Aramana', the majestic banyan tree is called 'Arayal'... Thus the church could have been termed 'Arapally' because it was constructed and maintained with the support and patronage of local kings," says Rev. Barsleebi Ramban. The Reverend has, for the past nine years, been the vicar of the church and is also the manager of the adjacent and newly-built St. Thomas Pilgrimage Centre, both of which function under the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.
However, there are also those who believe that Arapally is, literally, only a half church because, according to tradition, St. Thomas only established a cross here for 64 families of converted Christian who moved to the area from Mylapore, fearing persecution from rulers. Arapally is thus said to be the 'half' church — one of the seven and a half churches in Kerala said to be established by the apostle.
"The original Arapally was believed to have been built under the patronage of the King of Venad, Nedum Cheralathan. There are some ancient references to the church such as in the Book of Duarte Barbosa, which talks about 'Tharusayikkal' believed to be about Thiruvithamcode. Also the canons passed at the famous Synod of Udayamperoor in 1599 show that a group of Christians living in Thiruvithamcode were in dire need of a priest and that there was urgent need to reconstruct the church," says Rev. Ramban.
The present church is reputedly built on the site of the original church. Since then, it may have been rebuilt at least five times but the native style of the original church seems to have been faithfully maintained. "Having found the church in near ruins about 80 years ago, it was the late Rev. Fr. Koottumkal Geevarghese Ramban who restored the church to much of its present glory," explains Rev. Ramban as he enthusiastically points out the treasures of Arapally that 'hide' in plain sight.
First up is the foyer. Carved onto the granite architrave (the door frame) are what appears to be two kneeling angels in front of an object which could be a chalice. Tucked in an alcove inside the antechamber is an old world baptismal font, made of granite, and said to be as old as the church itself. Right in front of the font, on what is the southern wall of the sanctum, is a cross. "It is believed to have been carved by St. Thomas himself," says Rev. Ramban, as we take turns to touch it and offer a quiet prayer.
Just outside, adjacent to the western exit of the antechamber, he pointed out the remnants of an ancient stone trough where it is said that priests washed their feet before entering the church. Then, there is the well. "According to legend, the well was dug during the time of St. Thomas. It has never dried up," he says. We eagerly peek over its edge as if expecting a miracle, rather disappointed when all we see is murky water! "Legend apart, I believe that there is something in the air here that brings me closer to God," muses the Reverend. We cannot but agree.
Getting there
If en route on NH 47 towards Kanyakumari, take a right at Azhakiyamandapam to Thiruvithamcode. If coming from Madurai/Kanyakumari, at Thuckalay Main bus stand take a right. Thiruvithamcode is around 2 km away from both places.
What to see
The heritage centre has a museum that has among its small collection of artefacts, an ancient mill stone, several old coins and a set of gifts to the church (said to be by the Portuguese), such as a small, 15th Century table made of wood, with carvings of St. Paul and St. Peter and that of a phoenix and a pelican.
Visit the nearby Padmanabhapuram Palace complex, once the seat of the kingdom of Travancore, and a masterpiece in traditional architecture. Chinnamuttam harbour too is close by.
Where to stay
Thiruvananthapuram, Nagercoil or Kanyakumari. Thiruvithamcode is around 54 km from Thiruvananthapuram, 20 km from Nagercoil and 34 km from Kanyakumari.

New Sleeping Beauty unnerves
A new trailer for Sleeping Beauty has arrived and it not only shows more of Emily Browning, but it also delivers a very unnerving feeling to the story, one that builds as the trailer goes on. It's very cleverly put together to put the images and the voiceover at slight odds, presenting images that you aren't quite certain of, but as a whole set a troubling scene.
The film features Browning as a Sleeping Beauty, a woman who men pay for to be totally submissive to them, and this means for her to be completely asleep. However even then she's aware of some of the events that happen.
Here's the blurb for Sleeping Beauty:
Lucy is a young university student possessed by a kind of radical passivity. She lets a flip of a coin decide the outcome of a random sexual encounter and she displays an uncomplaining patience when facing the repetitions of her various menial jobs that fund her studies.
One day she answers an ad in the student newspaper and interviews for a job to be a lingerie waitress. But she is secretly being initiated into a world of strange new work. One where she will have to give into absolute submission to her clients by being sedated; becoming a Sleeping Beauty.
Eventually this unnerving experience begins to bleed into her daily life and she finally develops the will to break the spell by discovering what happens to her while she sleeps. With a fearless performance by Browning, Leigh creates a bold cinematic vision; one where Lucy, both in her clandestine sexual adventures and in her mundane daily existence, lives with the same unflinching and brutal honesty.
I'm quite fascinated by the idea of the story that Julia Leigh has written and how she's directed it. You have to agree with the blurb and say that even from this short trailer it looks like Emily Browning isn't shying away from the role.
I'm really keen to see where the events take us and how she plays the character. Does she slowly begin to fall apart? Piece together events that are happening to her? Or perhaps she becomes so curious that she decides to find out, and when she does it becomes a little much for her?
I'm really not sure, but the previous trailer and this one are really strong trailers and suggest that this is going to be a film to be on the lookout for, and what good timing that is, for the Filmstalker's films for October 2011 article tells us that it's out on the 14th in the UK, that's this Friday.
Here's the new trailer from Yahoo Movies who have it in high definition, and you can see the previous one right here on Filmstalker.

Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH), hosted a seminar on data breach and other risks faced by organisations, such as theft. The seminar was held in Johannesburg on 9 May. Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr's Director of Technology and Sourcing practice, Preeta Bhagattjee, said data breaches are a reality. She added that most organisations are likely to be victims of data breaches and pointed out that data breaches can affect companies in various ways, whether it is a staff member downloading ransomware, an employee who has lost an unsecure laptop, or a hacker who has managed to hack a client's data.
Ms Bhagattjee said organisations need to focus and have clear strategies pertaining to data breach in place. She pointed out that report released by McAfee in February, put the total annual global cost of cybercrime at US$ 600 billion. She said a data breach can happen to anyone, however, it may not be an organisations worst nightmare if the organisation is well-prepared and knows how to deal with it.
Ms Bhagattjee said when a data breach occurs, an organisation faces a number of risks, namely –
Ms Bhagattjee added a data breach in a regulated jurisdiction could lead to consequences, such as a fine or even imprisonment for senior managers. She noted that the fine in the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPI) could result in a fine, which will not exceed R 10 million in comparison to other direct or indirect costs that an organisation could incur.
Ms Bhagattjee said the solution for organisations to mitigate risks is to be ready for possible data breaches and that means that the organisation needs to formulate a road map to comply within the data breach area. She added that organisations must have cybersecurity and data protection as an agenda item at board level. She pointed out that organisations need to adopt a proactive risk management strategy and make sure that they have gathered evidence and have internal investigation processes in place.
Ms Bhagattjee added by assisting authorities to fight cybercrime in organisations will go a long way. She said that for organisations to develop a responsive plan for data breaches and cyber incidents, they had to start by determining the level of exposure by looking at the organisations –
Ms Bhagattjee said it is important for organisations to look at third-party suppliers and assessing risks in that regard. She added that a data response plan should contain the following components –
Ms Bhagattjee said when a data breach occurs within an organisation and a response plan is in place, it should be implemented by the task team who was put together to deal with the incident. She added that appropriate steps must be taken – where possible – to minimise damage and focus on the necessary technology implementations to recover data. She pointed out that the response plan must include notifying the all the legislative, regulatory and industry bodies, depending on the circumstances one may need to report to the police and if POPI is fully implemented the organisation must notify the regulator and the data subjects of the breach.
Ms Bhagattjee added that it is advisable to test a response plan on an ongoing basis to make sure that the response plan and the Internal Information Security Policy and procedures remain adequate, and updated for the business' needs in a changing world. Ms Bhagattjee touched on the Cybercrime and Cybersecurity Bill B6 of 2017 and mentioned that an electronic communication service provider or financial institution needed to be aware that if a data breach has taken place they are required to notify the South African Police Services (SAPS) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident.
Ms Bhagattjee pointed out that an electronic communications service provider and financial institution would also have to preserve evidence and any related information linked to the cybercrime. She added that there is an obligation in terms of the Cybercrimes Bill that organisation's would be required to cooperate in assisting with evidence against a court order where the organisation's computer system has been involved in a certain type of cybercrime. She noted that failing to comply with the specified requirements is considered an offence. She said that under POPI, organisations would need to notify the regulator and data subjects as soon as possible in respect of every data breach. She said unlike certain jurisdictions, elsewhere in the world, the notification was not only for high impact or high risk cases, but for all data breaches.
Ms Bhagattjee added that the regulator may require the organisation where the breach occurred to publicise the fact that the breach had occurred. She said that there are certain requirements in providing data subjects' information when notifying the regulator, so that the organisation could take steps to help curb any further damages and potential consequences. She pointed out that the requirement of POPI also extended to operators, the third parties to whom an organisation might have asked to process information on their behalf. She said that there is an obligation for the third-party entities to alert the organisation whom they are processing information for immediately when there is a data breach.
Ms Bhagattjee referred to the King IV Code on Coporate Governance and said that, if an organisation is required to comply with King IV there is a very specific focus on the audible oversight of information and technology management and rolling it out into the organisation. She pointed out that the board is specifically tasked to make sure it proactively monitors cyber incidents and make sure that systems and processes are in place to protect personal information and secure company operations from a cybersecurity perspective. She added that when South African organisations look at the compliance universe, they have to start in South Africa (SA), however, she said that it does not end in SA.
Ms Bhagattjee pointed out that if South African organisations have operations outside of SA or if they service clients outside SA, they should take cloud services into account. She noted that under these circumstances the organisation may have to comply with foreign laws and this includes cases where an organisation hosts personal information or company information offshore with a cloud service provider. She added that if an organisation operates in Africa there are 15 countries that have data protection legislation in place, however, she said some countries like SA do not have implemented data protection but have a number of jurisdictions and Bill's in progress.
Ms Bhagattjee pointed out that there is also the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. She said that if an organisation processes personal information relating to European citizens, that organisation must comply with the GDPR.
Director in Dispute Resolution of CDH, Zaakir Mohamed spoke about commercial crime in an organisation. He said human beings panic when they realise that a commercial crime has been committed. 'We panic because of the people implicated in such crimes, people we trusted and would never thought they could commit such a crime,' Mr Mohamed said. He added that sometimes one panics because of the amount of money involved. One would start thinking of how long the crime had been going on for. However, Mr Mohamed pointed out that one must not panic but remain calm and think about how the situation is going to be managed.
Mr Mohamed said that what organisations do when they have discovered that a crime has been committed is very critical. He pointed out that ultimately when an organisation discovers that they have been hit by commercial crime, it is likely to result in a legal processes. He added that it could be a civil legal process, where an organisation may want to recover some funds, however, it could be an employment law issue where there is a disciplinary inquiry to consider or a criminal element could be added, if an organisation wants to establish a criminal case. He said that organisations must make sure that they do not hinder any investigations, compromise evidence or compromise legal processes.
Mr Mohamed highlighted what organisations should do and what not to do when dealing with a commercial crime. He said the following questions must be asked:
He pointed out that it is important with regards to the Protective Disclosure Act 26 of 2000, that there is a certain way investigations are to be conducted. He added that the way the organisation found out about the crime is also important especially, if it was a rumour or if there was speculation in the organisation. He added that it is important to establish the source of the rumour, then see what the timelines in the investigation of the particular incident are.
Mr Mohamed said the organisation must know how credible and reliable the source that they are dealing with is if the whistle-blower has an agenda or a score to settle with the accused person. He added that the organisation had to check if the conduct had been an ongoing occurrence or if it had been a onetime thing, because that will determine the scope of the investigation. He noted that the organisation also has to check on who was potentially involved in the crime, as there may have been more than one suspect. He added that the organisation had to investigate further than the department and has to see who was close to the suspect. That would determine the kind of interviews that the organisation would have to will conduct, or the sources of information that might have to be used as evidence.
Mr Mohamed said the organisation has to also consider whether there was a reasonable explanation for what had been discovered, if there was an administrative error in finance or a miscalculation of funds. He added that organisations must bear all of these facts and start to formulate how they were going to deal with the particular incident. He pointed out that an organisation had to understand what it was dealing with and had to work on a plan of how they were going to deal with the crime. Having a plan in place would save the company a lot of money on unnecessary legal fees that may be incurred if the wrong approach is followed.
Mr Mohamed said that importantly one must identify the immediate risk and check if the relevant suspect had access to the organisations its IT system, because the suspect could go and destroy evidence. He added that the organisation had to be careful of how information was shared when a commercial crime occurred. He pointed out that sensitive documents should be password protected to prevent information falling into the wrong hands. He noted that organisations had to be fully aware of the insurance policy terms and reporting deadlines of the crime to the insurance. He said that when an organisation has realised that a commercial crime had taken place, they should make sure they do not do anything to compromise their insurance claim.
Mr Mohamed said that organisation did not need to rush to the SAPS unless there was an urgent need for urgent action. He added that when an organisation conducts an investigation the starting point should be:
Mr Mohamed said that after conducting an investigation, there had to be an incident plan in place. He said managers had a way of dealing with matters differently and that if the organisation did not have a plan in place it would risk having the matter not being confidential. He added that the suspect might get a tip off if the managers went around speaking to people and not just dealing with one person about the matter. This could lead to the suspect destroying evidence. He noted that the organisation inappropriate action, if sufficient evidence is not gathered.
Mr Mohamed said an incident plan would help the organisations deal with the commercial crime in a systemic and efficient manner. He added that it provided an effective framework so the organisation was not in the position where they did not know what to do when an incident or crime occurred. He pointed out that organisation also needed to have a whistle-blowing policy set out, which included a data breach policy. He noted that organisations had to have fraud and corruption response plan.
National Practice Head of the Employment Practice, director, Aadil Patel, said the problem that whistle-blowers face is what they do when they have identified an act of corruption or an act of impropriety. He added that it did not help anyone when SA told people that they have great legislation or tell them what other countries did, but pointed out that practically people need to know what to do, because as the potential cooperate it may affect an organisations brand.
Mr Patel added that it could affect the reputation of the organisation in the market place and the like. He pointed out that a disclosure was when the whistle-blower wants to tell somebody that a criminal offence is going to be undertaken or someone is misbehaving and stealing. He said that if a whistle-blower gives information and the employer does not treat them well the Protected Disclosure Act is a great piece of legislation to turn to. He noted that as a responsible employer the minute a report of any incident is received, the employer has to investigate, either by getting the external third party to investigate or establish their own internal investigation department.
Mr Patel said organisations had to have a budget called a protective disclosure budget, which is a separate budget dealing with investigations of protected disclosures. He added that within 21 days an employer must tell an employee that they are going to investigate them. He noted that if employers wanted to take legislation seriously and be able to show that an employee had lodged a false claim, the employer has to institute a criminal charge or institute a civil claim. He pointed out that the legislation makes provision for action to be taken against individuals who lodge false clams.
Mr Patel said it was easy for an employer to say 'I am not going to investigate' and force the whistle-blower to go to the media, however, he added that would then result in a trial by media. He pointed out that the first decision every organisation should take is whether they are going to insource or outsource the investigation with regard to protected disclosures. He noted that there were a number of auditing firms that had helplines and that a report can be done anonymously. The auditing firm does, takes the information and sends it back to 'anonymous' and 'anonymous' has to decide what they want to do with the information.
Mr Patel said there is no wrong or right answer, however, employers had to make sure they have a procedure that sets out how to deal with protected disclosures and have an obligation to do so in 21 days. He added that if an employer disciplines an employee for being a whistle-blower the maximum charge to that employer may be 24 months' compensation. He pointed out that an investigator, could ask what a protective disclosure can be when investigating. Mr Patel said organisations should have policies and procedures in place in order to determine how to deal with how employees could report protected disclosures.

Last week we worked on how to use the love language of GIFTS for success, and the very next day I was helping a client whose husband speaks "gifts" as his language of love. She does not and was really irritated with him. Guided by her angels, I asked her:
- Does he want to celebrate birthdays only at five-star restaurants?
- Do you two argue about how to spend money, on "things" (him) versus "experiences" (you)?
- Does he buy only the best kinds of items: the latest iPhone, the best computer, an amazing backpack, and ridiculously expensive glasses?
She laughed and laughed, saying that those were exactly the things he had recently bought, and that she had seriously objected to!
Her angels gave her solutions, such as accepting his generous gifts without telling him he should have spent the money on more frugal choices, and many more pieces of advice, and so they are on their way to understanding each other much better now.
Let's turn to today's language of love: TOUCH.
When I say "touch" and "business," do you think the two are completely incompatible? If your customer speaks the love language of touch, how can you possibly "speak" that language in an appropriate way?
You can watch this video to find out how I explain it as "Your Business Angel" on the web tv channel My Big Startup, or keep reading below for the explanation.
Video: Your Business Angel" Explains the Love Language of Touch
1. First, how can you know when your customer speaks "Touch?"
2. Once you know the customer's language is Touch, how do you speak it?
- Allow her to feel the product that you're selling, if it's a physical product like a handbag or a computer keyboard. Give her an actual sample to touch.
- Give her a sample of the product, let her test-drive the car, or try on the jacket.
- Set up a showroom. Don't sell things just online, where people have to imagine the quality. Open a store, even if it's a pop-up or a Saturday seminar.
Definitely don't keep your product behind glass or only on the internet.
Do let people test, taste, and touch so they can FEEL the quality.
Here's the video version again if you want to see me act out these tips!
When we speak the language of our customer, he or she can understand us better and trust us more than if we just speak our own language.
With trust, it's much more likely that we'll win the customer and earn their confidence as well as their money!
How do I know that this works?
When I have random clients who have never heard me on radio or seen me on TV, they often have misguided expectations – for example, that I can speak to their deceased grandmother, or that I'm a fortune-teller.
Nope! I'm a psychic coach who gets the inside scoop from your angels and Spirit Guides to give you advice for the best life going forward.
Once people have "touched" my work, by hearing me do readings for other people on radio, TV or at a live event, and THEN they sign up for a session, they are much more likely to understand the process. After touching, they have expectations that I can meet … and exceed ?
On Facebook, I just got a 5-star review from a client named Tsholo who came in to do a TV segment with me of live coaching for her business. Right before we went on air, she told me she had watched all my youtube videos, so she knew exactly what she was getting into.
More than that, as a fashion designer Tsholo used the language of "touch" to show me her products: she was wearing one of her skirts, which was a grey pencil skirt with a fantastic ruffle on it, and she brought me a set of gorgeous bracelets as a thank you. Which crosses over into the language of GIFTS, last week's topic.
When in doubt, speak ALL the languages ?
Do you know how to speak the love languages of YOUR loved ones? If not, maybe that's one reason you are not seeing eye-to-eye and heart-to-heart!
When we don't know our partner's or children's love languages, we feel like we're doing everything right for them but getting no appreciation. Frustrating!
Let's figure this out together.
Hit reply and we'll book you in for a session.
In your personal call, we can answer your love languages question and more!
You can also ask questions like:
- "How can I lose ten kilograms?"
- "Should I continue to be friends with Maria?"
- "What's wrong with my throat, why do I keep getting sick?"
You get TEN questions in each session, with detailed follow-ups. Your angels know who you are! They want you to have the best life possible!
After the ten-question session, people say:
"NOW I know what to do. Wow, that really helped."
"Weight off my shoulders! I feel so much clearer and lighter!"
"OK, I have focus. Yes, all of these answers make sense."
The ten-question landline session is currently US $175 or R 1750. Book your session now by hitting reply to this email, and Charlotte the manager will help you choose your time and date!
I look forward to finding out what your angels want to say to you!
Wishing you rich rewards in business and life!

Summit 17 Outcomes
On Tuesday 3 October, 22 volunteers from across the district met to give their feedback on The Scout Association's Draft Strategic plan for 2018-2023 as well as priorities for development in Harborough District.
The Draft plan is available from the members website and was also distributed with your invitation to join the Summit meeting.
Overall the participants thought that the Draft Strategic plan:
Had identified the right priorities for young people already in scouting
But that they were not the right priorities for young people not yet in scouting. The Draft plan does not go far enough in extending our reach, especially into underrepresented communities.
They thought it did not identify the right priorities for adult volunteers already in scouting but that it did for the wider community.
When asked if they were in support of the proposed plan the vast majority neither agreed or disagreed.
In terms of which of the 17 proposed initiatives were most exciting, the meeting voted for:
First: Uniform Review by 2023 starting with explorers
Second: Improve the volunteer journey – Transform adult recruitment
Third: Focus on developing amazing section leaders with practical scouting skills
Then asked which of the 17 initiatives they would prioritise to complete first:
First: Improve the volunteer journey – Transform Adult recruitment
Second: Delivery of a quality programme – Focus on developing amazing section leaders with
practical scouting skills
Third: Extend our reach – reach more underrepresented communities
We then considered various priorities for Harborough District over the next five years. Here they are with the most popular first:
Support the expansion of the district with particular regards to premises. (9)
Improve the operation of the Young Leaders Scheme. (8)
Search for and establish a district campsite. (8)
Refocus the role of ADCs to planning and facilitating elements of the programme that individual sections find hard to offer or complete. (6)
Rethink HAISNOs – revert to separate district meetings and separate sectional meetings. (5)
More Nights Away Permit holders; at least one per section. (4)
Refocus the role of the ADCs to provide more "in section" support rather than "across district". (3)
Increase the number of training advisers. (3)
Open new Groups. (3)
Promote scouting locally as providing skills for life. (3)
Establish district scout/PL and explorer forums (2)
Open additional sections as existing groups. (1)
Improve programme quality and breadth across all sections – measured by more Chief Scout Awards achieved. (1)
I have submitted the feedback on the Draft Strategic Plan to Gilwell and that on our own local priorities will be used in drawing up our own district development plan. Thank you to those of you who gave up yet another evening for scouting. It was good to get some grass roots feedback to direct our future efforts from our amazing volunteers – who really make the difference.
Debbie Billington, District Commissioner

What is 'Head Retention' and why is it important?
The head is the foam that rests on top of the beer after it has been served. Retention is how long the head lasts in your glass. The head exhibits aroma attributes of the beer that are not found after the head has died down, so it is for this reason, as well as aesthetic and stylistic reasons, that a beer with a good long-lasting head is desirable.
What does 'Pitching' mean?
'Pitching' is simply the brewer's term for adding yeast to the fermenter when brewing beer.

Unlike many of my friends growing up, I didn't have a season pass to Six Flags.
If something wasn't in Athens, it was too far away, according to Mama.
And Mama was hyper-overprotective so, I couldn't even go with my friends when I was invited.
I'd beg and plead for her to let me go.
"You won't like it," she told me simply.
How could she know what I would like when she wouldn't let me see for myself?
I continued to beg and plead. She still said no.
My friends eventually quit asking me.
"Your Mama never lets you go with us," was the explanation one friend was kind enough to offer.
"You take me," I begged her.
Mama refused, citing first she didn't know how to get there, where it was, or anything about Six Flags.
"Your mama is doing good to ride a Tilt-A-Whirl at the fair," Granny said. "You sure don't want her ridin' no Scream Machine. She will be sick for days. Plus, she don't do the sun. She's allergic."
My childhood was void of Six Flags until my Junior year and one of my best, dearest friends decided we had to rectify this.
The fact I had never been to Six Flags came up when she was saying how excited she was about the Georgia Cyclone.
Most people couldn't understand how I was such an anomaly of childhood and even though she had known me for a few years, she could not fathom how I had not been to Six Flags.
"We will go Sunday!" she said, declaring we would do a double date.
I'll admit; I was nervous. Some of those rides did look scary.
I somehow managed to stifle down the fear – I didn't have to ride anything if I didn't want to – but I couldn't choke down the embarrassment.
The boy I was dating – and I use that term loosely as I don't want to remember much if anything about that experience – conveniently left his wallet in his truck when we met my friend, Ashley, in Snellville.
He didn't mention this fact until right as we pulled up at the gate.
I was so embarrassed. Were we going to have to turn around and go back, after we just drove what seemed like light years to get there?
Ashley and her boyfriend had to pay our way in; I am guessing she had surmised from her previous dealings with him that he was the kind of putz who would pull something like that.
Off we went to find rides.
I think anytime I try to enjoy some kind of outdoor event it has to be on the hottest day on Earth. It was sweltering.
I think the soles of my Keds melted at some point because my feet felt burned. Maybe it was because I was doing a lot of walking and I have always been a sit on my tater type of gal.
I didn't ride most of the rides; I took one look and chickened out. I was fine with sitting – more than fine actually – while everyone else rode them though.
I also learned when you were at Six Flags you pretty much stayed there all day.
My "When are we getting there" questions morphed into "When are we leaving?"
And wouldn't you know it? The one ride I did get brave enough to ride left me drenched.
To add insult to injury, the cheap little weasel didn't want me to drift out of his sight, so he would hold on to the belt loop of my blue jean shorts.
I tried to pull away from him but he held tight like it was a leash and I eventually ended up slapping his hand away.
I was mortified.
It was 257 degrees; my clothes were soaking wet; I was pretty sure some kid threw up in my hair; and this greasy soon-to-be ex-mistake of mine was trying to keep me literally within arm's length.
Was this why Mama told me I wouldn't like Six Flags?
I tried to skip school the next day as I was recovering from the trauma. Ashley actually had to literally drag me out of bed and make me go, telling me the only way to get over someone holding my belt loops was to be amongst friends.
I never went back to Six Flags. I think I went to White Water once and I am pretty sure someone told me they were taking me to get donuts or something. Me and water parks go as well as Mama and the Tilt-A-Whirl.
The other day, I came across a news article that said the Georgia Cyclone was being taken out of commission this Sunday.
It made me think of my one foray to the theme park some 17 years ago.
"Mama, am I ever gonna go to Six Flags?" Cole asked after I announced the wooden roller coaster was being retired.
"Probably not," I told him.
"You won't like it. Just trust me."

Shreveport often gets a bum rap.
"It's east Texas," claim many, as though that's a bad thing. This Red River city fights for not only Louisiana's embrace, but also the South's.
And yet Shreveport, along with nearby north Louisiana cities such as Natchitoches and Bossier City, cheers on the Saints and LSU. They talk about New Orleans like it's an old friend, asking about Café du Monde, Chef Paul Prudhomme, and French Quarter Fest.
Most important, the area excels by example, particularly when it comes to education and the arts. The ArtBreak Festival in April is the 'largest annual student arts festival in the South,' and events such as the Red River Revel next month and the Louisiana State Fair help support these programs, as well as the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum.
The schools follow suit, responding to the community's love of the arts with enthusiasm, as we saw during visits to area schools last week.
"I took what I learned from studying Michelangelo's figure drawing and turned it around, transforming it into a Cajun," explains George Rodrigue to sixth graders at Natchitoches Primary Magnet School in Natchitoches, Louisiana.
The students study within a 1960s building. They seem oblivious to the exposed wires and pipes, happy instead to have an art room, a recently converted girls' dressing room, complete with floor drains, sinks, and a new Smartboard, donated by a generous alum.
Before converting this room and securing donations, such as their recent allotment from George's Art Closet, the school's one art teacher pushed a cart from class to class, struggling to teach one thousand students with a mere $200 per year in supplies.
"What are you working on?" I ask some of the lucky 320 high school students at the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts – a facility the opposite of the one we just left, only a few miles away.
They shared their drawings, headstone designs for Kurt Cobain and Steve Jobs, reminding me of George Rodrigue's imaginary album covers from art school in the 1960s.
To my surprise, this boarding high school, also in Natchitoches, is state-funded. I struggled to steady my jaw as we toured the facility, where students recreate shoes on potter's wheels, design programs on Apple computers, and study photography with large cameras on tripods.
According to Executive Director, Dr. Pat Widhalm, more than 400 students apply annually, with the school accepting 110, representing more than 70 parishes.
(pictured, LSMSA students with George Rodrigue, left, and Chris King, right)
Chris King, the tattoo-covered, long haired art teacher previously at Beverly Hills High School, designed the expansive art rooms. He inspires and enchants Louisiana's students in this conservative north/central town.
"It's been four years now, and we're starting to feel adjusted," says wife Erin King with a wink.
(pictured, George Rodrigue visits with students in LSMSA's museum; Chris King's paintings, created during a month-long sabbatical this summer in West Virginia, hang on the wall; click photo to enlarge)
At Youree Drive Middle School in Shreveport, we talk about the power of ideas and imagination, about painting for one's self as opposed to others, about keeping one's work exciting.
"What's your favorite painting?" a student asks George Rodrigue.
"The one I'm working on now," he replies.
At Parkway High School in Bossier City, the students, according to art teacher Mrs. Jacobe, forgot their Homecoming festivities that afternoon, buzzing instead with not only excitement for the Arts, but also excitement for their potential in whatever their passion.
"When you create up here," explains George Rodrigue, pointing to an imaginary dot six inches above an imaginary yardstick of art (held horizontally from the Renaissance at zero inches to Contemporary Art at thirty-six), "you're by yourself, and no one can touch you."
-click photos to enlarge-
At our last stop, Claiborne Elementary Magnet School in Shreveport, the third graders taught us more than we taught them. They shout out the colors and question the designs. They use their imagination to paint their own world, without embarrassment or inhibition.
"It took me a whole lifetime to learn how to draw like a child again," said Pablo Picasso, famously.
It was not Picasso, however, but the children in this north Louisiana city that reminded us of this valuable lesson.

by Josie Cohen, Head of Policy and Campaigns (1st August 2018)
On a scorching hot Friday in June, forty decision-makers responsible for managing public spaces around London gathered in Hammersmith for the first ever Pesticide-Free London workshop. Those in attendance included elected councillors and council officers from two-thirds of London boroughs, plus a range of other organisations who also manage large swathes of land in the capital. The topic of the day? How to end the use of toxic pesticides in London's parks, playgrounds and other urban spaces.
The event was part of PAN UK's Pesticide-Free Towns campaign which has succeeded in getting councils and other land managers across the UK to switch to using non-chemical alternatives instead of toxic pesticides.
Pesticides in towns and cities
At last count 38 different pesticides were being used in UK towns and cities, the vast majority to control weeds. They are sprayed in parks, playgrounds and other green spaces, road verges, pavements and around shopping centres and schools.
The chemicals used have been linked to an array of health problems including cancer, diabetes and neurological disorders such as Parkinson's. Vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women and old people are most affected. Pesticides are also having devastating effects on London's natural environment, destroying many of the areas where wildlife such as hedgehogs and bees forage for food and contaminating the natural resources they depend upon.
Non-chemical alternatives
But urban pesticide use is unnecessary and there are lots of non-chemical alternatives available. At the workshop, we heard from three companies that make a variety of technologies (from hot foam to electricity to mesh) designed to deal with weeds without resorting to chemicals.
In fact, hundreds of towns and cities around the world have already banned pesticides. In 2016, Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) became the first London borough to go pesticide-free and H&F Councillor Wesley Harcourt spoke at the event about all they've achieved. Leonie Cooper, Deputy Chair of the Environment Committee of the Greater London Authority (GLA), introduced the Mayor of London's new Environment Strategy which commits the GLA group to reducing its own pesticide use. With H&F proving that pesticide-free is possible and the GLA leading the way, it is looking highly likely that we can convince other London boroughs to follow suit.
London going pesticide-free looks even more likely when you look at PAN UK's recent council election campaign which resulted in candidates in thirty of London's thirty-two boroughs taking the 'Pesticide-Free London pledge' to severely restrict, and ideally ban, pesticide use.
Pesticide-Free Towns Campaign
The Pesticide-Free Towns campaign is part of a global movement driven by rising levels of public concern over the impacts of pesticides. As more non-chemical alternatives become available, increasing numbers of towns and cities are going pesticide-free. In France, all public spaces throughout the country have been managed without pesticides since 2017. Meanwhile, the UK is lagging behind but the public is no less concerned. Recent polling revealed that 68% of UK citizens want their local schools, parks, playgrounds and other open spaces to be pesticide-free.
London Workshop
The workshop in June was another step forward in the journey to make London the first UK city to go pesticide-free. And if London shows that it can be done, then we should be able to convince other major cities to follow suit until all of the UK's public spaces are free from toxic chemicals.
PAN UK is on hand to provide councils and other land managers with bespoke advice on how to stop using toxic pesticides and adopt truly sustainable and healthy non-chemical alternatives. But we can't do it alone. Councils need to hear from local residents that this issue matters to them. If you are concerned about pesticide use in your local area, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can link you up with Pesticide-Free Towns activists in your area or help you start a local campaign.

Several days ago, I finished reading the book-POJO in Action. I really benefit a lot from this book, therefore, in the next few days, I would like to write some conclusions about this book combined with my own thought.
In the chapter 2 of this book, the author lists 5 design decisions we need to make when we design the business logic layer of a system. The five decisions are:
- How to organize the business logic?
- How to encapsulate the business logic?
- How to access the database?
- How to handle concurrency in short transactions?
- How to handle concurrency in long-running transactions?
Next, I am going to explain the five questions one by one?
How to organize the business logic? Martin Fowler thinks that there are three patterns to organize the business logic, Transaction Script, Domain Model and Table Module respectively. The concept of Transaction script is procedure-oriented programming, so it is suitable for simple applications. The concept of both Domain Model and Table Module is object-oriented programming. The differences between them is that Table module maps a class to a table, and Domain Model maps a class to one row of a table. The common experience is that it is hard to maintain the application realized by Table Module. So Domain Model is usually our first choice to organize the business logic.
How to encapsulate the business logic? In a layer architecture, we need to make each layer independent to its neighbor by encapsulating each layer to hidden the detail. Usually, we think that the best practice to do that is using facade pattern. However, sometimes, because of the problem of open session in view, we cannot apply the facade pattern everywhere, instead, we have to choose Exposed Domain Model pattern, which let the present layer access the business model directly instead of the facade interface. It is obvious that both facade pattern and exposed domain model have advantages and disadvantages, and choosing which one depends on the the requirement of the applications.
How to access the database? Currently, there are several ways to access the database, for example, using JDBC to access the database directly, using iBATIS and uing ORM framework. Just as I said in a former article – find balances between technologies, there is no rule to direct us to adopt one and abandon the others. By the way, according to the popularity of the ORM framework, most people select it as their first choice. However, please remember it is not absolute.
How to handle concurrency in short transactions? Usually, we call short transactions database transactions, and long-running transactions application transactions. According to the author of the book of POJO in Action, we can use optimistic locking or pessmistic locking to handle concurrency. Optimistic locking derives its name from the fact it assumes that concurrent updates are rare and the application detects and recovers from concurrency instead of preventing them. However, the pessmistic locking assumes that concurrent updates will occur and must be prevented.
How to handle concurrency in long-running transactions? The author also lists two methods to deal with this problem, optismistic offline locking and pessmistic offline locking. The differences between them are the same as the ones between optismistic locking and pessmistic locking.
I hope the information above can give you a little bit help. By the way, The design of business logic is a very complicated question. Sometimes, even though you have a good knowledge of the concept of designing, you still cannot make a good work, because experience plays an important role in the process of desinging.

Ebola is ravaging the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a country riven by violent conflict and neglected for decades by the international community. The World Health Organization has less than half of the $98 million it needs to confront the crisis. And the United States government has undermined its own experts with a slow-footed response and cumbersome aid restrictions.
More than 2,100 people have been infected in the current outbreak, first reported in August of last year, and nearly 1,500 of them have died. Those numbers still pale in comparison to the Ebola outbreak that began in 2014, during which more than 28,000 people were infected and more than 11,000 died. That's in part because the current outbreak has benefited from a newly available Ebola vaccine and a quicker, better coordinated response from the World Health Organization.
But experts worry that the worst is yet to come. Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing the region in response to ethnic violence, potentially carrying the virus far beyond Congo's borders. The outbreak has already spread into neighboring Uganda; if it reaches South Sudan, a country dotted with refugee camps and teeming with instability, containment could become nearly impossible.
To prevent that from happening, health care workers will have to eradicate the deep mistrust within Congo's borders. Rumors abound that the virus was brought to the country by aid workers or that it is a hoax devised by the country's government to prevent certain districts from voting in the recent presidential election. Such suspicions have led many to avoid Ebola treatment centers, hide sick family members from foreign doctors and refuse to cooperate with other control measures.
The United States Agency for International Development, or U.S.A.I.D., says that the best way to combat this mistrust is for foreign aid workers to address other needs in the region in addition to combating Ebola. Most Congolese are more concerned with malaria, malnutrition and diarrheal diseases. Tackling these problems would go a long way toward building trust and make it easier to conquer Ebola in the long run.
However, such far-reaching programs were effectively prohibited last fall when the Trump administration restricted nonemergency aid to Congo. The administration said that the restriction was meant to penalize the country for its failure to curb human trafficking and that the Ebola response would not be affected. But it's unclear whether any portion of U.S.A.I.D.'s more ambitious agenda will be allowed to proceed.
The administration would do well to lift that restriction. Even better: Congress could amend current human trafficking laws to prevent them from being weaponized in this way. Human trafficking is an abomination, but withholding development aid will hardly solve that crisis.
Last week, more than 10 months after Congo's Ebola outbreak began, the Trump administration activated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's emergency operations center. That's a welcome move — it will enable the agency to quickly deploy many more resources to the crisis. But it would have been far more effective before hundreds of thousands of Congolese began fleeing the region.
The United States is not the only country that could do more to address the current crisis. The W.H.O. has been much more effective in this outbreak than during previous ones, but its efforts are still being stymied by a colossal funding shortfall. The organization's decision-making body created a global contingency fund in 2015, after the last major Ebola outbreak, to avoid exactly this situation — but contributions to that fund have fallen far short of what is needed.
Were the W.H.O. to declare a "public health emergency of international concern," it might help close the funding gap by drawing the world's attention to the growing crisis. But the organization has repeatedly declined to do so and, according to critics, has not adequately explained the reasoning behind its decision.
If the current situation doesn't qualify as a global health emergency, it's hard to imagine what would.

September 14, 2014
SWITZERLAND, Basel — At 8:00 PM (EST) on September 14, 2014, the winner of the 2015 Miss America Pageant will be crowned at the Boardwalk Hall which is coincidentally directly adjacent to Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (which is slated for demolition) in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The event will be broadcast live in prime-time on the ABC television network.
Based on breaking news and events, it's highly likely that a state-sponsored terror plot is now in play for the annual Miss America event. Given the current political climate in America, especially in respect to guns, the most likely terror scenario is a gun-related massacre which cuts down beauty contestants and fans in attendance.
The horrific images of the dead and dying beauty queens would send a collective shock of terror to the millions watching on television, which is exactly why the event would be targeted. That feds could also engineer a so-called "accident" or "natural disaster" (e.g., building collapse, fire, gas explosion, stage collapse, stampede, etc.) which would also kill and terrorize the thousands of Miss America fans in attendance.
There is also the possibility that the CIA could execute ISIS-related beheadings, suicide bombings, or a bio-terror attack, potentially sparking the global pandemic planned for 2014. ISIS-related news and events especially in respect to beheadings and bio-terrorism are at an all-time high which suggests that an attack may be imminent.
Trump Plaza Slated for Demolition
Since Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey is permanently closing on September 16, 2014 (just 2 days after the Miss America pageant), the venue could be destroyed in a state-sponsored terror attack, potentially mimicking the 2008 Mumbai Terror Attacks in which multiple locations were attacked simultaneously. Similar to the 9/11 Attacks, Donald Trump would then collect the insurance monies for the dilapidated building without having to pay for its demolition and cleanup, netting him potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. Needless to say, it's mutually beneficial for both parties as the Obama administration gets their terror attack and Trump gets paid.
Beauty Queen Terror Trending
Prior to a high-profile beauty queen terror attack, the American public must be psychologically prepared to accept that this is in fact possible. Fraudulent headlines and fabricated events are a slick way of convincing people that yes, it can happen. As evidenced, beauty queens have suffered an unprecedented amount of attacks, deaths and emergencies in 2014 which suggest that a state-sponsored beauty queen attack is imminent.
Beauty Queen Terror Timeline:
1. January 28, 2010: Beauty queen acid attack 'linked to rival'
2. November 27, 2012: Mexican beauty queen killed in shootout
3. June 1, 2013: Evidence in killing of former beauty queen points to ex-priest
4. January 9, 2014: Killing of former Miss Venezuela may have been targeted attack
5. May 12, 2014: Ex-beauty queen cleared of murder charge in Guyana
6. May 19, 2014: Hacker crackdown: Beauty queen among victims
7. June 5, 2014: 23-year-old beauty queen killed in Seven Falls outing
8. June 8, 2014: Beauty queen reveals she was 'product of rape'
9. August 13, 2014: California beauty queen busted for worker's comp fraud
10. August 29, 2014: Rugby star Ian Gough fined for attacking beauty queen ex Sophia Cahill

Taylor currently lives in Basel, Switzerland where he has applied for political asylum after the release of The Nuclear Bible, a book credited with foiling a state-sponsored nuclear terror attack upon Super Bowl XLV in Dallas, Texas on February 6, 2011. Taylor has also authored The Bio-Terror Bible, a book and website exposing the global bio-terror pandemic planned for 2014. To date, David Chase Taylor has blown the whistle on over 100 state-sponsored terror plots, including the 2012 Democratic National Convention Terror Plot, the man-made asteroid attack planned for 2014, and the drone strike which killed "Fast and Furious" star Paul Walker. Taylor was also the first to expose Alex Jones' treacherous links to STRATFOR.
Truther.org Legal Disclaimer
Truther.org's stated purpose is to stop terrorism by drawing unwanted global attention to terror plots prior to their fruition. Terror alerts and warnings made by Truther.org DO NOT necessarily imply that these terror events will transpire in reality but rather that there is a distinct possibility that they may occur based on breaking terror-related news, events and data. Historically speaking, once a false-flag terror plot is exposed (e.g., 2011 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot), it is immediately canceled or postponed (e.g., 2014 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot). State-sponsored acts of terror must have a prior paper trail in order to set-up patsies, prime scapegoats, create plausible deniability, as well as mislead the public from the usual suspects of terror. Please support real citizen journalism and help make terrorism a thing of the past. Blessed are the Peacemakers. Namaste
