AID agencies cannot reach more than two million Somalis facing starvation in the famine-struck country where Islamist militants control much of the worst-hit areas, according to the U.N.'s food agency.
World Food Programme (WFP) officials said they were considering food drops from aircraft into some areas controlled by the al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab, which imposed a ban on food aid in 2010.
"There are 2.2 million people yet to be reached. It is the most dangerous environment we are working in in the world. But people are dying. It's not about politics, it's about saving lives now," Josette Sheeran, WFP's executive director, told agency staff and reporters in northeastern Kenya.
The drought gripping the region straddling Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia is the worst for 20 years and is affecting up to 11 million people. In southern Somalia, 3.7 million people are at risk of starvation.
WFP was among several groups ordered out of rebel-held areas last year who were now preparing to return.
"In a week to 10 days we can start moving food into those areas," said Regis Chapman, WFP Somalia's head of programme.
Aid groups also face landmines in the border areas where al Shabaab clashed with Kenyan and Ethiopian forces earlier this year, Chapman said.
Desperate to find food and escape the conflict, thousands of Somalis are fleeing across the porous frontiers with Kenya and Ethiopia every day.
After walking for days through the scorching scrub, often without food and water, up to 1,500 people arrive daily at eastern Kenya's Dadaab camp, the world's biggest refugee camp.
In one camp hospital, mothers cradled 35 acutely malnourished children being fed by drip and battling for survival.
"I will never go back to Somalia. Somalia is just famine and war," Timera, an elderly woman who arrived at Dadaab four days ago, told Reuters near the clinic.
With Sheeran was France's Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire, who will report to a U.N. emergency meeting in Rome on Monday.
At an earlier stop in El Adow, a pastoralist village 100 km (62 miles) from the Somalia border, 75 year-old Nimau Witou clutched three bags of wheat, soya, beans and a can of cooking oil, given to her by WFP, lamenting the demise of her entire herd of livestock.
The handout should last her family a month.
"It's a nice gesture but it's not enough," Witou told Reuters.
More than a quarter of the children in the drought-prone area are malnourished and a third of adults receiving food handouts, U.N. data showed.
Al Shabaab have accused the U.N. of exaggerating the gravity of the humanitarian crisis and denounced the declaration of famine in two parts of Somalia as political.
Reversing a previous pledge, the group said the aid agencies they expelled in 2010 could not return.
Somalia's beleaguered government, which exerts almost no power outside of the capital, Mogadishu, condemned the militants' about-turn.
"The extremists are literally and deliberately starving the people to death," said Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali. "It is the insurgency itself that is the root cause of the famine."
Cycles of drought and flooding have become increasing frequent across the Horn of Africa and east Africa, due largely to global warming.

A 43-year-old Glace Bay man is facing charges in connection to the October death of a four-month-old infant.
Jason Wayne Comer will appear in Sydney Provincial Court on Jan. 29, 2020, charged with criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessities of life, for the infant.
Charges are the result of an investigation into the infant's death on Oct. 9. Cape Breton Regional Police originally responded to a Cottage Street residence at approximately 9 a.m. where EHS was on scene attending to an infant in distress. The boy was transported to Glace Bay Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Major Crime investigators and Forensics officers, in conjunction with the Medical Examiner's office, investigated the cause and circumstances surrounding the boy's death, leading to charges against Comer.

Being gluten-free for many, many years, I find it almost torturous to witness people joyfully jumping into a basket of bread at dinner, bundling up with a hearty sandwich for lunch, or just opting for a comforting breakfast of warm, crispy toast. I explored commercial gluten-free bread options, but many of them were not feasible, as they were either not vegan or the rest contained oils and/or other additives.
Thus, I was eager to find an easy, DIY version that meets all of my requirements so I could keep it on hand at home as a staple. When I was writing The Vegiterranean Diet and developing its recipe collection, I found the perfect excuse to develop my ideal recipe. And that is when this Baked Oat Bread was born…
Baked Oat Bread Recipe
Eating Vegiterranean would be incomplete without a staple whole grain bread to add to a meal. Enjoy this gluten-free, soft, and sentimental pure recipe guilt-free. Baking bread is the ultimate in science meeting art, so follow the directions carefully, ensure the yeast is fresh, and that you begin preparation several hours ahead of mealtime.
Makes 1 loaf
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 cups warm (not hot) water
3 1/2 cups oat flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons hemp, poppy, pumpkin, sesame, or sunflower seeds (optional)
1. In a large bowl, combine yeast, maple syrup, and warm water. Stir gently with your fingers, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until bubbles rise to the top, approximately 10 minutes.
2. Once the yeast become active, pour in oat flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring well. Add salt and stir until well combined. Cover with plastic and set aside in a dry, warm area and allow to sit for at least 90 minutes.
3. When dough appears puffy, and as risen, push it down, using the plastic wrap (it is very sticky) and cover again.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5. Transfer dough to a silicon loaf pan and shape evenly throughout. You can sprinkle with a couple tablespoons of seeds, if desired. Bake for 20 minutes or until bread appears lightly brown on edges. Do not overcook. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

TORONTO — Orioles right-hander Bud Norris knew that a few days off from throwing wouldn't completely alleviate the stiffness in his elbow, but his arm is feeling better after his first throwing session since Wednesday.
Norris had a light throwing session on Sunday and while he felt some slight stiffness in the elbow, he's still optimistic he can return to the Orioles' starting rotation late in the week.
"It's something where couple days off, I feel a lot better," Norris said. "And I'm pleased with the results. … After taking a couple days off, I knew stuff was still going to be in there, going to be a little tight and sore, but I'm excited with the progress."
Norris will next throw a bullpen on Tuesday in Boston. If he's able to throw a regular between-starts side session and comes out of it well, he could return to the rotation either Friday or Saturday in Tampa Bay.
"It went well," Showalter said. "He said he feels it just a little bit, but we'll see what happens between now and Tuesday. I can't tell you he didn't feel anything today, but it's much improved than where he was. I think Tuesday will tell the tale of where he fits it."
The starting pitcher had said his elbow bothered him for the past several starts, and it finally reached the point where rest was needed to help alleviate the problem.
Norris, acquired in a deadline-deal trade with the Astros, said he will try to pitch through it, especially given the magnitude of the upcoming games with the Orioles still chasing a playoff spot.
"Especially where we are in the playoff race and everything, I want to be on the field," Norris said. "You are going to fight through a lot of stuff, these guys are too. So I understand where I'm at and I definitely want to get back out there when I'm ready."
Norris, who is 4-2 with a 4.67 ERA in nine appearances with the Orioles, missed his scheduled start on Friday and was replaced by right-hander Jason Hammel.
Ordinarily, Hammel could make another start if Norris wasn't ready this weekend. But with right-hander Miguel Gonzalez's status now uncertain after leaving Sunday's game with a right groin strain, another starter could be shelved.
Orioles faded to black on Saturday
The Orioles players, hoping their success with runners in scoring position from Friday's 5-3 win in Toronto would rub off, voted to wear their black Friday jerseys on Saturday but couldn't repeat the previous night's success.
The Orioles went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position in a 4-3 loss to the Jays on Saturday a day after going 4-for-11, but the jersey switch showed how the Orioles are trying anything to cure their woes.
Over their last 22 games, the Orioles are hitting .184 (37-for-201) with runners in scoring position. They went 7-for-30 in their three-game series in Toronto after going 13-for-63 on their recent eight-game homestand.
The Orioles are still fifth-best in the majors this season with a .268 average with runners in scoring position.
Around the horn
The Orioles had to remove Henry Urrutia from the restricted list when they arrived in Boston. Urrutia was unable to make the trip to Toronto because of visa issues. Dan Johnson filled Urrutia's spot to give the Orioles an additional left-handed bat, but they would have to make a 40-man move to keep Johnson with Urrutia coming off the restricted list. ... Orioles rookies had brightly-colored costumes waiting for them in their lockers after Sunday's game, some complete with women's high heel shoes, to wear for their flight to Boston. … With his first-inning single, Adam Jones has hit safely in seven straight games against Toronto. Over the past two seasons, Jones has hit safely in 32 of 34 games against the Blue Jays. … SS J.J. Hardy's seven-game hitting streak was snapped Sunday. … After stranding the bases loaded in the seventh, RHP Tommy Hunter has stranded 24 of 28 inherited runners this season. … Right-hander Darren O'Day (finger tingling and numbness) could resume throwing Monday in Sarasota, depending on whether the two injections he received Friday helped reduce the nerve inflammation in his wrist and hand area.

Keeping the Nut's Out – Federal agencies, Point Lay seek to minimize media enacted walrus disturbances
Federal agencies are stepping in to shield a North Slope village from the possibility of a deluge of international attention should a large walrus haulout develop nearby, as it has in years past — agreeing to act as an information clearinghouse on behalf of the Native Village of Point Lay. The village has also taken its own steps to reduce the impact of international attention and its own activities on the marine mammals. About 35,000 walruses swarmed the coast of Point Lay toward the end of summer last year, likely because the ice they usually use for rest had melted, scientists said. The event drew international visitors, mostly media, to the village of 189 residents. Read the rest here 15:11

France (made)
- Date:
ca. 1500 (made)

- Materials and Techniques:
Oak, carved
- Museum number:

Medieval & Renaissance, Room 62, The Foyle Foundation Gallery, case SCREEN2, shelf WW, box EXP
This section of panelling, and another very like it, also in the Victoria and Albert Museum's collections (672A-1895), would have been built into two corners of a room and probably led to internal staircases. Both incorporate a low hinged door with the remains of a latch and bolts which indicate that the door could have been fastened either from the room side or the staircase side. Fixed woodwork like this added privacy and comfort, by reducing draughts and noise. A variety of fashionable motifs has been carved on the exterior faces as well as more traditional linenfold ornament. Such a mix of styles on decorative objects was not unusual in northern Europe at the time.
Physical description
Internal vestibule from the corner of the room, of three storeys and a cresting, containing a hinged jib-door, of frame and panel construction. In plan the vestibule forms two and a half sides of a regular decahedron.
It consists of a structural framework with two full-height stile-buttresses, each with a pentagonal footprint and decorated with carved crockets and various types of scale and twig pattern, and at the left side a plain return (originally fixed to the wall of a room). The left hand stile buttress is pierced about 10cm above ground level with an angled hold, presumably for a dowel to fix the unit to floorboards. Two horizontal rails with doubled caveto mouldings divide the three main storeys of panelled decoration from each other, and a cyma and cavetto moulding sits below the cresting. The eight-panelled jib-door is of canted form corresponding to the foot-print of the vestibule. The lower rail consists of a series of cyma mouldings, much abraded.
The cresting (of six panels) sits between two concave moulded rails (four of the six sections are copies (probably 20th century) based on two short older, but probably not original sections of rail), and consists of two rows of panels with pierced tracery, (assembled in June 2006 using intact parts from 672-1895 and 672a-1895); the six panels are held from behind with metal fixings not in conventional grooves. (The physical and stylistic divergence of the crest panels from the rest of the vestibule suggests that the cresting is a nineteenthth-century replacement (probably using some older woodwork). Similar vestibules illustrated in sixteenth-century manuscripts or prints show crestings close in form and decoration to 672a-1895, usually with pinnacles surmounting the buttresses. Pierced panels would have permitted some light inside the vestibule and stairway when closed.)
Description of the panels
The third (top) storey consists of five tall panels (sight size 77 x 17cm) of quartered oak (probably split and planed) with plain edges, and held in grooves in the moulded edges of the stiles and top rails. They are carved in low relief. From the left, panel 3.1, (ie first panel from the left of the 3rd storey), a fox facing left on hind legs below a stylised vine with leaves (nicely undercut) and grapes, on which perches a pigeon-like bird pecking at grapes; panel 3.2 a vertebrate, renaissance style vase design with symmetrical dragon heads supporting a vessel on which stands a blemya (anthropopaghus) on whose head stands a naked man holding plant tendrils; panel 3.3 (with a long, vertical split) a dragon facing left on hind legs swallowing a plant stem with spiky leaves and 3 flowers, in which perches a pigeon-like bird; panel 3.4 a wolf(?) facing right swallowing a thistle-like plant stem with spiky leaves and 2 flowers on which perches an eagle; panel 3.5 a vertebrate vase design with a boar facing right with head turned left on hind legs swallowing the foliate body of a male figure, supporting a vessel with two downward facing wolves, atop which a dragon with wings outstretched supports a leafy stem with a composite figure (human head and dog's hind legs) perching.
The second storey of 5 tall panels of blind tracery with stylised flower bosses (the designs varied), 4 of them part of the jib-door which hangs on 2 original pintle hinges, with the following ironwork fittings: a pierced iron strap nailed around the top corner with traces of textile underneath, and an iron latch fitting nailed with textile surviving underneath, an iron latch housing, on the inside of the door an iron latch on a ring fitting nailed; panel 2.1 (76 x 17cm sight size); panel 2.2 (66 x 11.5cm), with a non-original iron fitting that probably served as a pull; panel 2.3 (66 x 16cm); panel 2.4 (66 x 16.5cm); panel 2.5 (66 x 11.5cm).
The first (bottom) storey of 5 linenfold panels, 4 of them part of the door, the left hand buttress with 3 iron latch fittings: panel 1.1 (77 x 16cm sight size); panel 1.2 (77 x 11.5cm); panel 1.3 (77 x 16cm); panel 1.4 (77 x 16cm); panel 1.5 (77 x 11.5cm), replaced probably post 1700.
With a dark stain overall. No evidence was found of painted decoration.

Object history note
672-1895 and 672a-1895 were bought from Emile Peyre, Avenue Malakoff, Paris for £300 as part of the much larger museum purchase in that year.
It is recorded as no.7 on J. Hungerford Pollen's report on the Peyre Collection, Feb. 1889 (Peyre Papers, appendix A), with an annotated sketch: "French Carving. Large Structures - Hexagonal enclosure in two halves. Parts of a screen or internal porch (such as the Oudenaarde panelling in S.K.M.) Panelled in three rows. Linen pattern below. Pierced crestings in two rows. (about 10 ft. high & 3 ft 6 wide)...These [ie nos. 7 & 8] are from Tours." The sketch annotated "Panels - Linen. Panels - arabesque. P. cresting. Pierced cresting".
On the list C (Typed inventory of the Peyre Collection) it is recorded as item 90 "Two half tambours, Gothic 4 panels each", and on the list B of disputed items (during the negotiations) that the Museum specifically stipulated to be included in a revised deal, they are listed as 'Two tambours and the arch between them", which refers to item 91 (673-1895), associated with the two vestibules in Peyre's house, where they were exhibited together in room G (the large ground floor room facing the street), but not historically ensuite with them.
An entry in Peyre's own ledger (held at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, no listing no. was been assigned to these documents, spring 2007) appears to relate to the two vestibules, to their purchase from Paul Récappé. Meubles et Curiosités. 9 Passage Ste Marie: "Recappe 17 Fevrier 1877. Les deux tamboures/d'Escalier avec frais divers 5300 [the 5 not quite legible]." A bill from Récappé seems to suggest a price of 10,000 francs for one tambour, but this is not certain. Note that the valuation cited in 1895 (Peyre VA papers, appendix F) by the Museum gives 7578 francs, commuted to £300.
It is noteworthy that a domestic origin of these two vestibules was not always taken for granted. A letter from J.H.Fitzhenry to Sir Cecil Smith, rec'd 3 Jan 1912, deals with the possible purchase for the Museum of a similar object. Fitzhenry wrote offering to buy a linenfold ('napkin pattern') 'drum' [ie tambour, vestibule] from 'an Abbeville mansion'… 'to hold stairs in the corner of some large room, & "dissimulate" it'... 'in excellent state', purchased from Heilbrunner(?) '(from whom I have purchased nearly all my "Big" architectural specimens)'. …'I am thinking of "giving" it to you, as it would look very well near the Morlaix staircase.' The size is 'quite 20 ft high & about 10 or 12 diameter' and that the price £400 could be negotiated to £200. In a Museum memo, Lehfeldt (11 Jan 1912) writing to the director in response and advising against the offer, referred to 672 &a-1895 as being similar in size, 'wh: formerly enclosed the stairs leading to the rood-loft of a French church. …[now] shown in room 7 – are decorated in a more varied manner than the one now offered".
Conserved 2007
Historical context note
This type of boiserie seems to have been relatively common in chateaux interiors c.1450-1540 in northern Europe, on the evidence of illustrations of interiors of the period, although very few survive in situ. Examples are the chateau de la Roche-du-Maine (commune de Prinçay, Vienne, c.1525). In France it was known as a 'porche' or 'tambour' [drum]. It enclosed the foot of a staircase within a panelled room, insulating the room from cold air, and noise on the stair, and could also permit access to an adjoining room. Illustrations show that the panelling and cresting might be part of a larger ensemble lining the walls of the room. Pierced panels high up would allow some light into the stairwell. Ironwork bolts on the V&A examples would have permitted the jib door to have been fastened from within the room, or from the staircase.
The style of 672 and 672a-1895, acquired together and undoubtedly a pair from a house in Tours, according to Peyre, accords with other woodwork from Picardie and Normandy, where late gothic (buttresses, pinacles, tracery) and renaissance elements were combined during this period. The scenes of beasts hunting birds on vines perhaps derives from book illustrations of the period.

Can't we all sit down and have a discussion about whether the GPMG gunner really needs it And whether he would be better served by someone with fu*ckall experience in logistics but who can do Matlab (or have a username of Mattlb) and can waffle about 'just in time' (but not actually there)?
We value you Lobster mong. What do you think will happen now for the EU?
I'm sure this post sounded well good in your head.
BTW previously Truxx in his wisdom explained he had no idea how the EMA works, when arguing why we should get rid of it (he also called it a gravey train...) but now years late he's still claiming to be an expert on medicines.

In recent years, the company has designed, produced and implemented a wide range of products, spreading to new markets and getting to a bigger number of clients. In view of this situation,
a redesign of its commercial policy was seen as necessary to express what it is now and what it wants to become, a company commited with quality and innovation, present in several sectors.
Based on these challenges, the agency Magma has developed a comprehensive strategic analysis and created a new brand that conveys a conceptual and visual evolution but, at the same time stays true to the principles of the company.
In this process, one of the main decisions made was to choose a naming that reflected tha mission and values of the brand. Some application tests were made with this aim, and the conclusion was that Veserkal, with Germanic connotations, was the most suitable. For the textual representation, we chose a clean, minimalist, ordered and lower case font, to reflect the commitment of the company with quality and innovation. The project is sealed with an interesting claim, "the solution", which perfectly summarizes the purpose of the brand and, besides, is directly linked with the chosen symbol of its graphic representation, an =.
Another basic element in this commercial redesign of Tesi Industrial Europa, S.L. is the creation of a new website. It stands out for being very dynamic, functional, adaptable and includes all news. Its design is minimalist, technical and modern, appropriate to the values of the company. The corporate image is very impressive due to the chromatic contrast of black and bright yellow.
In one word, we have created a new brand that allows the company to strengthen its dynamism, professionalism and to defend its market position.

Pedal at your own pace alongside the canal
One of the easiest ways to enjoy canal life is on two wheels. Ride along the old towpaths – a total of 87 km with no cars in sight. Watch the locks in action, pat the canal sheep or enjoy a picnic on the canal bank while the boats glide lazily by. We have many great cycling packages and accommodation alternatives.
The towpathThe car-free path along the Göta Canal is called the towpath – because when the canal was built, all boats were actually towed from the shore by oxen. The oxen were phased out as propellers became commonplace, but the name lived on.
Today the old towpaths are a favourite of cyclists. They're car-free (except for occasional maintenance vehicles), have hardly any hills, and also offer several rest areas where you can barbecue or just have a snack.
Come and try it for yourself!
Cycling distanceSjötorp - Karlsborg
The total distance of this stretch is about 75 km. 35 km is car-free bike paths alongside the canal; the rest is small roads south or north of Lake Viken. Take advantage of the boat transports VikenSnabben or M/Y Modig across Lake Vättern!
Motala - Mem
The total distance of this stretch is about 120 km. This route is quite varied, including dedicated cycling roads as well as car roads around the big lakes. Take advantage of the boat transports VikenSnabben or M/Y Modig across Lake Vättern.

A few benefits of having international work experience are:
1. You're more culturally sensitive than the next person
Many companies do business internationally, and even if you start working at one that doesn't have an international presence, you will still have customers and colleagues from other countries.
Since you have international work experience, you're going to be better equipped to deal with any cultural differences that you run into in the workplace. This will make your application look better than that of someone who has never worked or lived abroad. Employers want to create a safe and fun working environment, and this means that they must hire employees that are culturally sensitive (AKA - people that have experience interacting with people from diverse backgrounds).
2. You have better communication skills
Another benefit that comes with international work experience is that you're able to communicate with all types of people more effectively than your coworker that's never left the country. Employers place a lot of value on effective and clear communication, so guess which one of you will be put up for promotion first.
After spending a year or more communicating with people that don't speak English as their first language, you will have learned how to effectively communicate with people that speak different levels of English. The same thing goes for people that worked internationally somewhere where English is the native language -- there are still cultural nuances and barriers that must be overcome to effectively communicate with the people around you.
3. Speaking multiple languages is a valuable skill
Not everyone with international work experience will be able to speak multiple languages, so if you did manage to learn another language while abroad, this is a huge advantage for you. When you come back from working abroad, many prospective employers will want to hire you if you can speak more than one language. This skill allows you to communicate with potential clients, customers, and colleagues that aren't native English speakers.
Having learned a language while abroad also shows that you're committed and determined, as it's not an easy thing to do!
4. International work experience says a lot about your personality & skills
Even if you aren't fluent in another language when you come back home from your time abroad, the international work experience that you amassed says a lot about you. It says that you're adventurous, independent, self-reliant, adaptable, open-minded, patient, and tolerant, among many other things. These are some of the personality traits that many future employers in your home country will be looking for in an employee, so you're in luck!
5. You have more life experience than most other people
Traveling, teaching, and working abroad all give you great life experience that not everyone gets to put on their resume.
After working abroad, you've seen more of the world, met new people that are different from yourself, networked internationally, and tried new things. All of this adds up to some great life experience that you can use to make future decisions, which will positively impact you both in the workplace as well as in your social life.
How to gain valuable international work experience:
There are many ways to get international work experience and teaching abroad is one of the most popular. Even if you've never taught before, you can take a TEFL course and start teaching English abroad whenever you'd like.

London's Cob Gallery present Anemones and Lovers, the debut show from the 23-year-old artist.
Last night, the Cob Gallery opened its doors to Anemones and Lovers, the debut show from 23-year-old artist Faye Wei Wei. Having graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art last summer, Faye belongs to a new guard of exciting young artists breathing life into the art of painting. Impressive in size, prowess and warmth, her poetic utterings are steeped in references to religious iconography and classical myth. She creates her own visual language made up of animalistic and humanistic symbols. Lost in a romance of pastel tones and mark making, and combining classical poise with vibrant immediacy, her works are often reminiscent of Picasso's Vollard Suite. Indeed, there is a surreal lightness to her work.

The 5th player to post a cause posts the next effect.
For example:
One person could say a crop circle was spotted
another person could say a UFO came down and made it.
someone else could say that some people were pulling a prank.

Parenting Conferences, Home School Conventions, and Mom's Events
Reaching the Heart of Your Child
Based on Ginger's best-selling book, Don't Make Me Count to Three!
There is far more to parenting than getting children to "act" right. We have to get them to "think" right and to be motivated out of a love of virtue rather than a fear of punishment. Ginger equips parents to reach past the outward behavior of their children and address the issues of the heart. Move beyond the frustrations of not knowing how to handle issues of disobedience and into a confident approach to raising your children.
Taming Your Tongue
Do you find yourself threatening, repeating your instructions, or raising your voice in an attempt to get your children to obey? Do you feel guilty because you know you should be faithfully training and instructing your children in righteousness but you aren't sure how? Through personal experience and practical application of Scripture, Ginger guides parents in how to give a biblical reproof. This presentation richly inspires and equips parents to let faithful instruction flow from their lips.
Taming Your CHILD'S Tongue
Are you ever embarrassed or shocked by what comes out of your child's mouth? Based on her newest book, I Can't Believe You Just Said That, Ginger provides a practical, three-step plan to reach beyond the behaviors of tongue-related struggles—such as lying, defying, and manipulating—to address your child's heart. After all, as Matthew 12:34 tells us, "the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."
How to Parent without Provoking Children to Anger
Does your child have a comeback for everything you tell him to do or always try and get the last word, even if it's mumbled under his breath? Does he become mad and lose control when you discipline him rather than repenting? Or does he seem indifferent, giving the impression that discipline doesn't faze him in the least? Through biblical insights and powerful drama, learn how to avoid the snares of parent-provoked anger and raise emotionally healthy children.
Women's Events
Get Your Shine On!
In this humorous and heart-warming presentation, Ginger uproots the insecurities and fears that keep us from living abundant, fulfilling lives and shining our brightest as children of God. Through laughter and tears you'll be inspired and challenged as Ginger uncovers the treasures that await a life surrendered to Christ. Touching stories, spiritual insights and practical solutions—this dynamic message never fails to touch the hearts of Christians and non-Christians alike.
Be Still and Know
When shocking, horrific truths were brought to Ginger's attention in 2009, her life completely unraveled causing her to abruptly withdraw from public ministry. After an emotionally devastating and painful year of acceptance and grieving, her marriage of nineteen years ended. Her heart was shattered, her family broken, and her dreams destroyed. Ginger shares how her experience of brokenness and unexpected change led to a deeper understanding of the faithfulness and grace of God. Encouraging women to embrace the sufferings, disappointments, and trials of this life as divine opportunities for God to do great things, Ginger explains how God sometimes allows us to plummet to the lowest possible point in order to lift us to the highest place—his presence.
Guiltless Living
Do you beat yourself up spiritually and emotionally when you blow it as a Christian? All that we need for Guiltless Living has been provided for us through Christ.
Through captivating stories and edgy humor, Ginger drops the act and gets real in this brutally honest look at the seldom admitted, rarely talked about sins of the heart. Removing her "good Christian" mask, Ginger opens the dark chapters of her heart in order to share about the glorious grace of God toward repentant sinners. Get ready to laugh. Get ready to cry. Get ready for a deeper, more authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. This is what real Christianity is all about.

I need help. More to the point, Via Negativa needs help. It just doesn't look as good as it could or should. The problem is, I'm too bleeping lazy to knuckle down and learn the HTML necessary to improve it.
And why should I bother? Other people already have those skills.
So basically I'm just appealing to those of you who know how to do this crap to give me a helping hand. In return, I can write you a poem and publish it here. And/or include a permanent link to your site (or charity of your choice) in the Tomb of the Unknown Reader. Hell, I could even send money. Or pieces of bark and old pine cones. Whatever you want. Name your price.
I have pretty definite ideas of what I want – nothing fancy – and have even come up with the background for a new banner. So we're not talking about a whole lot of work here, I don't think. If you're interested, please e-mail me: bontasaurus at yahoo. Thanks.

Driving in the San Francisco Bay Area can be a stressful experience, and during the holiday season it is often worse than ever.
More people are behind the wheel, out of town visitors aren't familiar with our roads and merge patterns, and holiday stress creates more tension. Nerves are often frayed.
So, what can you and I do to cope with this as we head out on our own busy days?
- Plan ahead - anticipate that traffic will be heavy and allow extra time to get to your appointment
- Don't tailgate!
- Change lanes with extra care and avoid sudden moves
- Stay alert, and keep an eye out for drivers who are speeding or driving erratically
- If you encounter an aggressive driver, don't make eye contact or respond in any kind
Above all, find a way to be calm. Take a deep breath, keep breathing. Try being extra courteous, allowing people to easily make that lane change they need, or take the parking space you both covet. You'll be amazed at the sense of calmness that creates.
As the sergeant in NYPD Blues used to say, "let's be careful out there!"

M.C. Escher's "Curl-up" is one of his imaginative fantastic creatures. The note surrounding it gives strong support to the potential value of the curl-ups as a concept for an exploratory probe or perhaps a new generation of sophisticated off road vehicle. His "curl-up" creature came into existence because of the absence, of wheel shaped, living creatures with the ability to roll themselves forward Biological details are still few: is it a mammal, a reptile, or an insect? It has a long, drawn-out, horned, sectioned body and three sets of legs; the ends of which look like the human foot. In the middle of the fat, round head, that is provided with a strong, bent parrots beak, they have bulb-shaped eyes, which, placed on posts, protrude far out from both sides of the head.
In the stretched out position, the animal can slow and cautiously, with the use of his six legs, move forward over a variety of terrains (it can potentially climb or descend steep stairs, plow through bushes, or scramble over boulders). However, when it must cover a great distance, and has a relatively flat path to his disposal, he pushes his head to the ground and rolls himself up with lightning speed, at which time he pushes himself off with his legs- for as much as they can still touch the ground. In the rolled up state it exhibits the form of a discus, of which the eye posts are the central axle. By pushing off alternately with one of his three pairs of legs, he can achieve great speeds. It is also sometimes desirable during the rolling to hold up the legs and 'freewheel' forward. "Curl-Ups" is what is used in translation, but you may notice that Escher came up with a Latin title "Pedalternorotandomovens Centroculatus Articulosus." Here below we may see a real life model constructed by an artist Hawken King, a British designer living in Tokyo, who specializes in new-media illustration.

Margaret Rebecca Dickinson (1821-1918) was a talented Victorian artist who assembled a collection of over one thousand British plant specimens in her unique herbarium. Her beautiful botanical painting taken from the prepared herbarium specimens are available to view on our online gallery.
The study of plants was considered to be a very ladylike and genteel activity in Victorian times. Favoured with drawing and painting skills and the slower pace of life, an accomplished lady botanist of the time could produce wonderfully detailed and accurate illustrations of flowers. Margaret Rebecca Dickinson was one of those many talented Victorian ladies, spending her days collecting and drawing every plant specimen she could find as she travelled around the British Isles.
Very little is known about her life other than she collected and painted in watercolour over four hundred and fifty wild flowers. From the manuscript catalogue of her collection she completed most of her drawings between the years 1846 and 1874.
During part of that period, from 1860 onwards, she appears to have visited or lived with her family who are recorded in the 1861 census records as living at Friars Hall, Gattonside, a substantial 18th century regency house in Melrose. Miss Dickinson later moved to Tweed Villa a large house in Norham on Tweed, Northumberland, in 1868 with her parents and sister Rebecca Ann (c.1823-1894).
Dickinson was born on the 22 July 1821 in Newcastle upon Tyne and baptised in All Saints Church. Her father, William Ogle Dickinson (c1797-1870), was a tobacco manufacturer in Newcastle upon Tyne at the time but having been born in Kelso, Roxburghshire he returned to his native country in the 1860s. When he died, at Norham, on the 20 March 1870 he left his estate to his wife Elizabeth; she sadly died just a the year later. The house at Tweed Villa was bequeathed to Margaret and Rebecca Ann. Miss Dickinson remained at Norham until her death on the 9 December 1918 at the great age of 98. She had four further siblings Elizabet Nicholson, Ann Logan Bulman, married to a corn merchant and living in Corbridge and two brothers who inherited the tobacco business.
Miss Dickinson's family grave is situated in the churchyard of St Cuthbert's Church, Norham.
In memory of
Margaret Rebecca
oldest daughter of William Ogle and
Elizabeth Dickinson
who died at Tweed Villa Norham
9th December 1918
Aged 98 years
Although many of the plants she collected and painted were of local origin – Northumberland, Durham, Cumbria, Berwickshire and the Scottish Borders she did travel further afield. We can speculate that the expansion of the railways in the 1840-50s enabled her to visit sites in the Cirencester area, Yorkshire, North Wales and Ireland. Her expeditions to Green Hill, Kent in 1858 and 1860 led to her collecting and illustrating a number of rare orchids.
Miss Dickinson bequeathed her collection of plants and watercolour drawings to the Natural History Society of Northumbria, where they are housed in the Society's herbarium and archives at the Great North Museum: Hancock.
There are 468 images from the Margaret Dickinson collection on our online gallery. The accompanying text gives a brief description of the illustration with the plant name recorded by Miss Dickinson and its modern equivalent.
Dickinson recorded further details about the plant specimens in a manuscript catalogue which accompanies her watercolour collection. She recorded the date on which her specimens were collected and made a note of the location of the plants. This information has also been included in the text.
Read the article Margaret Rebecca Dickinson: Victorian Botanist and Plant Illustrator by Jacqueline Banerjee on the Victorian Web.
There is another small collection of Margaret Dickinson's watercolours in the Lindley Library of the Royal Horticultural Society,London.
The 30 watercolour drawings of Narcissus are bound into an album and appear to have been drawn at Norham in Northumberland between 1886-1893. They were purchased from an auction house in Glasgow on the 6 July 1996 from an unknown vendor.

The Society would like to thank MLA North East for funding the design of the website and the Heritage Lottery Fund for supporting a 3-year archive project (2003-2006) during which the photographs and research were prepared.

" In life we direct, plan, and form our own destiny. Most of us hold the capacity to select the opportunities that define our path and mold our future. I selected IQ Laser Vision to improve my vision, and I am very thankful of Dr. Lin and his staff for the attention I received before, during and after my procedure. The annoyances, irritations, and fatigue of the pterygium on my right eye have completely disappeared, and I am very happy to have placed my confidence with IQ Laser Vision. IQ Laser Vision is very professional and also very compromising to their patients to achieve the best work. Furthermore, they made me feel like I was part of the IQ family. Once again, thank you very much, and I am ready for the Micro-LASIK® procedure. Thank you for being so kind to all your patients. We will meet again soon, and you are worthy of being recommended. "

Flipper was a TV series that made the kids go crazy, so why was it cancelled after 3 seasons?
In 1964, Ivan Tors films and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer got together and created Flipper.
Flipper, a bottle nosed dolphin was the companion mammal of Porter Ricks, Chief Warden of the fictional Coral Key Park.
The show was dubbed an "aquatic lassie" and had a large following.
Flipper was filmed primarily in Miami at Greenwich Studios, and was produced in cooperation with Miami Seaquarium, located in Biscayne Bay.
Who played Flipper?
Suzy was the female dolphin who first played Flipper, although Flipper was primarily played by Kathy, and from time to time, by Patty, Scotty and Squirt. Females were chosen because they are less aggressive, and as a result, were in less fights, and consequently, had less scars.
While these five female dolphins played most all of the acting during the series, a male dolphin, Clown, was used for scenes involving tail work.
The voice for Flipper was not actually a dolphin at all, but in fact the heavily modified tune of a Kookaburra.
There were two trainers on the dolphin team, Robert Corbin and Ric O'Barry. After production, Ric O'Barry on Oprah Winfrey's "Earth Day Special" said that Kathy "was really depressed... You have to understand dolphins and whales are not [involuntary] air breathers like we are. Every breath they take is a conscious effort. They can end their life whenever. She swam into my arms and looked me right in the eye, took a breath and didn't take another one. I let her go and she sank straight down on her belly to the bottom of the tank."
Other animal cast members of note.
Pelican Pete. Pete the Pelican was depicted in the original movie as Sandy's pet before he met Flipper. He appeared in several episodes as a recurring role.
Spray, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, was in a few episodes (real name was Chobee). A Seal, a baby Elephant, Alligators, and a female albino dolphin who had no name, and finally, another female dolphin named Lorelei. Lorelei became Flippers girlfriend near the end of the second season.
Human cast members
Porter Ricks (Real name: Brian Kelly). A loving father, upstanding government employee, and rugged outdoorsman. Porter is a widowed father with two sons, Sandy and Bud., and is Chief Warden at Coral Key Park.
Sandy Ricks (Real name: Luke Halpin). Porter's oldest son, a mid-teen adolescent who sometimes has boyish mishaps, and made a few poor choices. Despite this, he was deemed old enough for adult responsibilities.
Bud Ricks (Real name: Tommy Norden). Porter's youngest son. Bud was always in trouble in some form. Many episodes are centered around Bud making a mistake. Bud is gullible, which probably explains this, and falls for the tall tales that Hap Gorman tells him.
Hap Gorman (Real name: Andy Devine). Hap was a carpenter, and loved spinning tall tales. He bungled a lot of things, and this tried Porters patience.
Ulla Norstrand (Real name: Ulla Strömstedt). Played a role during the second season. Ulla was an oceanographer who was frequently working in Coral Key Park and Marine Preserve. She had a miniature yellow submarine she often used for her oceanographic explorations.
Warden Ed Dennis (Real name: Dan Chandler). Ed was the park game keeper, and sometimes sidekick of Porter. He also appeared in the feature films.
So…where did Flipper go?
Flipper ended in April 1967 at the conclusion of a two-part story. Bud and Sandy grow up and plan to leave Coral Key, Sandy is accepted into the Coast Guard Academy, and Bud attend a private school. A new family moves into the area , the Whitmans, with a widowed mother, and young son and daughter. This left the series open for another possible season, but NBC declined to renew the series with such a large change to primary characters.
