Property rights
Arranged marriage at the age of 15 years old
"My marriage was arranged when I was 15 years old. After one year, my husband married another woman and moved to Kathmandu. Sometimes he visited me in the village, but always treated me badly and beat me. Once so bad, that he broke my leg. Neither my parents nor his parents helped me. Everyone said, that it was my bad luck. I did believe it was my fate/destiny. But one day, his parents did not allow me to live in the house anymore. I got a small plot of land and my neighbours helped me to build a small house, made out of grass and stone. Also they gave me work, so I could earn a little money to buy my own food. Sometimes, my husband and his other wife visited the village. They treated me badly and took away my food and pots. One night, they locked me in my little house and tried to burn the house down. I escaped and my husband was running after me with a knife. My neighbours were the ones who saved me. The next day, I talked to a community member and he gave me the address of The Women's Foundation Nepal and the money for a bus to Kathmandu. For 16 years I stayed in this bad marriage. I was 31 years old and I believed that I was an old woman. I had lost all hope for my future. But WFN changed that. They gave me back my confidence. I started to work as a cook at the Shelter Home. WFN's lawyers registered my case in court and after two years I succeeded in getting money from my husband for the property which I am entitled to. I received NRS 200,000 (USD 2700) and used most of this money to buy a small piece of land in Kathmandu where I have built a house to live in. I feel I have respect from other people now. The women at the Shelter Home showed me great support and helped me to believe that I was worth something. WFN helped me to prepare my land for farming. I am independent now and shaping my own future."
*name changed
In Nepal, only twenty percent of women have some form of legal ownership rights over land. Deprivation of land rights is synonymous with poverty and inequality. In 2012 the Government changed the law and today, there is a 30% discount on the registration fee when the land is registered under the woman's name. This brings a positive change. In a patriarchal country like Nepal, access to land is fundamental to women's empowerment. Land rights bring about security, independence and confidence, which together enables women to become active in all social and political arenas. Women's ownership of land encourages men to view women as equals, which is shown to give women more decision making power in their households and decrease domestic violence. (The Huffington Post) Property rights cases are expensive and very time-consuming.

NEWARK—Two programs are helping to lift the spirits of cancer patients while they undergo treatment or come to terms with cancer-related issues.
The Frederick B. Cohen, MD, Comprehensive Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is providing the following programs open to all patients:
• The ONE GIFT program. In this program, adult cancer patients are offered the gift of a joyful, memorable experience. Whether the individual would like a weekend getaway, a special dinner or celebration, the organization helps to make their wish come true.
• "Operation Bling" The Operation Bling Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation led by Chris and Bill Ferdinand whose sole purpose is to provide sterling silver or zirconium rings, earrings, necklaces or bracelets to cancer patients.
Patients are given the opportunity to choose one "Bling gift" which is enclosed in a white organza pouch. Inside the pouch is the Foundation's mission along with a laminated inspirational poem -"What cancer cannot do." The patient is also given the option of being place on a prayer list – via the patient's first name only. When a patient receives the jewelry they are considered "Blinged by a Bling Angel."
If you know anyone suffering from cancer who might benefit from either program, contact Leon Lejda, oncology social worker, at 1-973-926-7565 or Alyson Slutzky, breast cancer social worker, at 1-973-926-7976.

Trends Report, Spring/Summer 2009
THE international collections came to an end last night after more than five weeks of back-to-back shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris. As the fashion pack make their way home to unload their wardrobes to the drycleaners, reconcile with neglected men and children, and generally get back into the swing of normal life, we have assessed the hundreds of looks from each city to bring you the strongest trends for next season.
First up, the failsafe options:
- Buy a hat (or a head scarf or a hair accessory of some description - the ponytail tubes at Louis Vuitton are a good option);
- Buy a really, really fabulous pair of heels (you need asking twice?);
- Buy at least one single-shouldered dress (one for evening and one for summer daytime flirting would be best);
- Buy something gold;
- Plan plenty of monochrome outfits;
- Put all your blues together, and all your greens, and practice wearing them layered up, all at once;
- If you're keen to invest in one of the bags of the season, go for a long strapped one slung across your body or clutch a teeny weeny one in your palm (as at Chanel and Louis Vuitton), or, for the real deal (and bank) breaker, check out the scrunchy, hand-held ones at Prada, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton;
- Plus, if you're feeling brave and you really want to look the spring/summer 2009 part, be the first to master Stefano Pilati's Yves Saint Laurent baggy nappy pants. We dare you.
All too specific? If you want to be on trend but less obvious about it, we've put together this A to Z of the season. If we saw something twice or more, we called it a trend and recorded its sources here - this is the list to learn if you're going to drop the right fashion names next season:

Published June 14, 2012.
Great news. The French books arrived today!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of family and friends, (in response to my "needing books" request) I will be transporting 230 books in my suitcases this weekend to create a classroom library in Port au Prince, Haiti. You have no idea what this means to me…and what it will mean to the teachers…and to the eager readers at ANA Primary School!
They currently read paper workbooks with pictures to color and text below.
The joy of reading is such a gift…and it will be so much fun to share these new books with the kiddos. Huge amounts of gratitude go out to the individuals that donated towards this effort…I could have not done this without you! Additional money was used to to pay for the shipping costs to have them sent from Canada, to purchase collapsible fabric bins for storing the books, as well as to help pay for my extra piece of luggage. Mesi! Mesi! Mesi!
It truly takes a village…and I am blessed to be a little part of this plan.

Choice Of A New World Order
While doing some research on High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) or as it will likely be renamed in the future to 'Corn Sugar', AP was hard at work spinning the facts. In the article "Corn Syrup Producers Want Sweeter Name: Corn Sugar" an AP Marketing Writer presents the same tired old arguments to counter consumer's well founded concern over the corn based product.
The article, disguised as an informational piece is nothing more than an infomercial. Like the agenda behind those annoying TV spots from a few years ago where two people discuss HFCS but soon come to the conclusion there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 'natural' product, this article is nothing more than a last ditch effort to confuse consumers.
As it is with most facets of the NWO's full spectrum domination agenda, a simple rebranding is all that is needed to divert the questioning public from the real facts. Henceforth, HFCS will now be known and 'corn sugar'. Mission accomplished.
HFSC or 'corn sugar' is "nutritionally the same as sugar" according to Michael Jacobson executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (funny how organizations built to rubber stamp products are always have an officious title). Simple research into this statement reveals obvious flaws and only serves to gloss over the real concerns.
Surely the science involved in this debate is so complicated only a genius could possibly understand it. Actually, that is not the case at all. the facts are really pretty cut and dry.
The simple fact is that regular table sugar is composed equally of fructose and glucose while HFCS is reported to be slightly weighted on the fructose side clocking in at 55% fructose.
There are two major concerns that immediately present themselves: fructose is a serious health concern and the percentage of fructose reported is only a conservative estimation. In a recent study it's been found that soda contains as much as 65% fructose.
Extra fructose is a real problem because the substance is processed differently by the body than its cousin glucose.
Glucose is ingested and then harmlessly passes through our intestinal tract and is then excreted as waste. Therefore the extra caloric intake in not absorbed by the body and does not get metabolized as fat. (See Fig. 1)
In sharp contrast, 100% of fructose ingested is directly absorbed by the liver, processed into fat and deposited in the abdominal cavity. (See Fig. 2) In addition, triglycerides levels in the blood sharply spike. Both factors are the leading contributors of the two most dangerous health problems: heart disease and diabetes.
Fructose which is officially a hepatotoxin and can severely overload your liver which and leads to the creation of many waste products including uric acid. It is also believed to be the leading cause of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease which can lead to liver failure.
Pure and simple: the fructose you ingest is changed to fat and stored by your body.
In addition, while glucose suppresses the hunger hormone ghrelin and stimulates leptin (an appetite suppressant) fructose has no effect on ghrelin and interferes with the brain's communication with leptin. This results in a never ending cycle of ingesting fructose without the satisfaction of feeling full and leads to a never ending cycle of overeating.
The real question which is not even being addressed by HFCS's spokespeople is why are these numbers so skewed and how long have they known their product is this unhealthy? With health statistics as they are here in the U.S., at best this is a clear example of criminal negligence.

Sensible, informative and honest Americans can only hope and pray that the opposition political party to Obama and his destructive Democrats have awakened with a sense of responsibility. Perhaps, now, (at least) some Republicans are attempting to make good on their past promises to repeal our nation's non-affordable healthcare act which is commonly called, Obamacare.
John Boehner: Obama owns this shutdown now – Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government. – usatoday.com
The president isn't telling the whole story when it comes to the government shutdown. The fact is that Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks. And, as stories across the country highlight the devastating impact of Obamacare on families and small businesses, they continue to reject our calls for fairness for all Americans. This is part of a larger pattern: the president's scorched-Earth policy of refusing to negotiate in bipartisan way on his health care law, current government funding, or the debt limit…………….
……….For years, the president has said that in a divided government, no one gets 100% of what they want. But when will his words match his actions?……… – usatoday.com

The site MovieSheets.com was created in early 2008, but a similar site existed since 2005 on a different domain and web host. Movie Sheets contains one of the largest databases of classroom movie worksheets on the net. These worksheets are based on films that teachers have viewed then subsequently created film guides for. These film sheets have been tested within the classroom.
The collection of files on this site was generously contributed by teachers from all over the world. The files are submitted voluntarily and are catalogued and placed into a the movie sheets database. You do not need to be a member to download files. Please consider sharing pieces of work by clicking here.
The ultimate goal of the site was to setup a central location for all teachers to visit in order to find course and profession related video and movie guides. The idea behind the site was to provide teachers a "one stop shop" for their film related needs. The site contains thousands of movie guides for hundreds of different films. Links are also provided for teachers to purchase these films at a significant discount through an e-commerce site. It is my goal to continue to organize quality video related material for educators.
We at Moviesheets.com feel that showing videos and the occasional Hollywood film in the classroom is an innovative way to demonstrate concepts and expose common misconceptions while providing a thought provoking change of pace for students. However, we do not expect these film worksheets to supplement good interactive, thought provoking activities in the classroom. We rarely recommend showing a film in its entirety even with a worksheet taken from this site. We highly recommend to show the film, then stop the footage, do some teaching/review and start it up again.

Alright. Let's go ahead and get the shameful part of this out of the way at the start: This is an Emeril Lagasse recipe. For me, he eventually came to represent everything that went horribly wrong with The Food Network... but back in his Essence of Emeril days (before "BAM!") he wasn't so bad. And the fact that this Shrimp Cheesecake is absurdly delicious has forced me to come to terms with the fact that even obnoxious TV chefs can still write some kick-ass recipes. Without further ado, let's talk about Shrimp Cheesecake.

Everyday Yumminess: Soft Polenta Integrale with Wild Mushroom Ragout
I remember the first time I read through the Momofuku cookbook that David Chang says there's basically no point making polenta if you're not going to get your polenta from Anson Mills. In the next few weeks, I read several other chefs and authors saying the exact same thing, so I knew I'd better give it a try. The other day I was poking around their recipe pages and saw something that I really wanted to eat right now. Thus, it was on.The finished dish may not have been much to look at, but I already can't wait to make it again...

Cookbook Adventures: Marrow Beans with Merguez, Pistachios, and Honey
When I got my heirloom bean cookbook, the first recipe that jumped out at me was Marrow Beans with Merguez, Pistachios, and Honey. I had some homemade Merguez in the freezer and all of the ingredients sounded like my kind of thing...... but in the end (and this is something I almost never say) there seemed to be too much going on. I thought my homemade Merguez tasted fantastic, but everything else seemed to detract from it...

Hi there. It has apparently been almost a month since last I posted, so I figured I'd ease back in with some bunnies. My computer broke, and I lost some great pictures of the guys there... but they've been doing some pretty cute things to try to make up for that. First up, isn't Pedro the sweetest little angel ever, taking a nap on/hugging Rico's butt?
I encourage you to click on that picture to embiggen it. His little face is so sweet.

Going Where the Church is Not Yet
Today there are over 4.3 billion people who live in areas where there is little to no gospel witness. 4.3 billion people who have not heard the message of the gospel, who have never heard the name of Jesus. We believe that everyone deserves to hear. God continues to call the Church of the Nazarene to spread the message of the gospel, to preach holiness, and to bring good news to the poor all over the world. The task is enormous; far too big for anyone to do alone, but together we can go where the church is not yet and see people, communities, and nations transformed. Reaching these people begins with one step, a step of obedience and faithfulness that says yes to God's call. Take your first step and start your journey toward serving in missions today.

text: Mothers Of Teenagers Killed In Thai Road Crash Vow To Keep Fighting For Change Lawyers Call For Long Overdue Improvements To Road Safety In Thailand 10.02.2012 The mothers of three teenagers who were tragically killed in a Thai coach crash have vowed to continue campaigning in their memory as the driver of the coach was sentenced to two years in prison for a number of driving offences leading to the deaths. Max Boomgaarden-Cook, Bruno Melling Firth and Conrad Quashie, all 19 and from London, were killed in June last year as they travelled from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. The coach they were on collided with a bus in the town of Khlong Khlung, killing several passengers. The friends had flown to Thailand for a nine week holiday before starting university in September. The driver of the coach – Mr Chan Noisri - has been convicted of negligent driving causing death, negligent driving causing grievous bodily harm, negligent driving causing bodily or mental harm and careless or reckless driving. Clive Garner, Head of the travel law team at leading law firm Irwin Mitchell who is representing the parents said: "Whilst I welcome the sentencing, this horrific loss of young lives is evidence of the scale of problems on Thailand's roads. "Although nothing can ever bring Max, Conrad and Bruno back or make up for the heartbreak their loved ones continue to go through, their families are determined that no one else should suffer as they have. "I would urge the Thai authorities to show that lessons have been learnt from this tragic case and to take dramatic steps, quickly, to ensure the safety of tourists and other members of the public travelling on their roads. "We will continue to work with the boys' families to help them get justice for their sons. They clearly did not deserve to lose their lives the way they did on what should have been the trip of a lifetime." Since the boys' deaths, mothers Amanda Bean, Gillian Melling and Polly Cook have been campaigning tirelessly for improved road safety in Thailand. Shocking statistics confirm that action is required. In terms of road-crash death and injury, Thailand ranks among the top ten in the world and in recent years, road crashes have resulted in more than 1,000 fatalities per month and more than 80,000 injuries per year. Commenting on her ongoing trauma since the loss of her son, Polly, from Brixton in south London, said: "Although some justice has been done, nothing can ever make up for the loss of my precious son. To know the driver's actions contributed toward Max's death - which could easily have been avoided if he'd driven with more care - is difficult to bear. "Before he went on his trip, I warned Max to be careful about the usual things a mother worries about when their young son goes on holiday like the dangers of alcohol and drugs. "If I or the boys had known about the terrible legacy of Thailand's roads, perhaps they would have made a different choice about the way they travelled whilst they were on their trip." Speaking of her loss, Conrad's mum Amanda Bean from Brixton says: "Losing Conrad has turned my life upside down. I'm determined to get the message about road safety issues to as many people as possible to prevent any other families from having their lives torn apart and suffering as we have." Gillian Melling, Bruno's mum, from Waterloo adds: "Although my life will never be the same again, I want to implore the Thai authorities to do everything in their power to educate road users and make their roads safer so the boys did not die in vain. "We'll continue campaigning for change in our sons' memory. It's what they would have wanted - to make a difference."

This elegant kitchen design was enhanced by removing a 17' structural, load-bearing wall
Client Remodeling Goals
Our clients wanted a kitchen that was truly the center of the home for gathering and entertaining. The existing kitchen was a one cook kitchen and the eating nook was redundant for how they lived, as the dining room was on the other side of the kitchen wall.
Our Design Solutions
We reorganized the kitchen layout by pulling down a 17' structural load bearing wall and replacing it with a steel beam. This allowed us to create a large central island to organize our cooking and prep area to coordinate with a large seating area. The new steel beam also enabled us to create a wide open view into the family room, allowing these two spaces to merge together as one large space.

(A dry lake bed in the afternoon.)
For people who have only seen the desert in movies, it seems like this endless world of nothing. Just sand and sky and not much else. But really, the desert is full of insane versatile life (snakes guys, snakes are crazy) and some amazing adventures. Our past few weekends there have included dry lake beds, adventures on some dirt roads, and a little climbing (though not so much me climbing, I am still a little too novice for the outdoors.) I decided to share some of the pictures from our trips.
(I am pretty sure this is considered more than bouldering.)
(The dry lake bed. Doing it's thing and looking like art.)
(nbd. Just some old volcanoes in the distance.)

Frugal Americans Boost Campbell and Tyson
Chicken soup is good for the soul, as well as the wallet.
Earnings reported Monday morning by the world's largest soup maker, Campbell Soup Company (CPB), and by meat-production company Tyson Foods (TSN) show that consumers have been choosing less expensive options like soup and chicken when considering meals for the family.
Tyson Foods' quarterly earnings showed that sales of chicken were up 8% year-over-year to $2.6 billion, while sales of beef fell 6% to $2.9 billion, and sales of pork fell 13% to $865 million. The company said it expects sales of all three segments to improve in 2010.
Campbell Soup has been trying to better position its budget-friendly product offerings. The company launched a website, CampbellsKitchen.com, at the beginning of November that gives consumers family-friendly meal recipes, "many of which will feed a family of four for less than $10." The website includes a recipe for "Crowd-Pleasing Tuna Noodle Casserole" that's listed with a cost of $9.29 and a beef taco bake recipe that's listed at a price of $8.14.
"We're observing a fundamental change in how Americans approach the task of planning and preparing dinner for their families," said Charles Vila, Vice President, Campbell's Consumer Insights. "The economic recession has re-focused consumers on making enjoyable meals at home for less money than it would cost to go out."
Campbell Soup reported first-quarter earnings of $304 million, or $0.87 per share, compared to $260 million, or $0.70 per share, in the year-prior. Sales decreased 2% to $2.2 billion. Analysts expected earnings of $0.81 per share on revenues of $2.3 billion.
"Our US soup business faced difficult top-line comparisons with last year's first-quarter when sales increased 12%," said Campbell chief executive Douglas Conant, referring to the slight drop in US soup sales compared with the major jump in sales that occurred when people first started buckling down.
"Looking ahead, we're optimistic about our US soup business, led by the renovated 'Campbell's Chunky' line, innovations in our condensed portfolio and our 'Swanson' broth business," Conant added.
Meanwhile, Tyson lost $455 million, or $1.22 per share, for the fourth quarter ended Oct. 3, compared with a profit of $48 million, or $0.13 per share, in the year-prior period. Excluding an impairment charge of $560 million, or $1.50 per share, earnings were $0.28 per share. Analysts expected, on average, earnings of $0.26 per share. The estimates typically don't include one-time charges. Revenues stayed flat at $7.2 billion, also beating analysts' expectations of $6.9 billion for the quarter.
For the year, the meat-production company reported a loss of $537 million, or $1.44 per share. Excluding the impairment charge from the beef segment, earnings were adjusted to $0.06 per share on revenues of $26.7 billion.
Last week, Tyson named new CEO Donnie Smith to replace interim head Leland Tollett, who had been tapped in January to help weather an industry downturn. Smith was the company's senior group vice president of poultry and prepared foods.
Both companies have seen a gain this quarter form lower commodity and packaging costs.

Long before the New York Jets finished last season with a 6-10 record there was speculation about the future of quarterback/personal protector Tim Tebow. Once the Jets drafted Geno Smith our of West Virginia, the worst (for anyone not named Tim Tebow, that is) was all but confirmed. In a move that surprised no one, and freed the Jets of a $2.6 million dollar cap hit, Tebow was released on Monday.
The former fourth-quarter Denver stud turned NY Jets dud has cleared waivers and is a free agent, awaiting a call, and a chance to rejuvenate his career. Those chances may be tough to come across. According to NFL.com the number of teams that are interested in Tebow has dwindled in recent days, and a prospective list of employers looks to be limited to the Browns, Patriots, Raiders and Redskins. We can be sure Tebow would almost never see the field if he played for the Patriots or Redskins, as both teams employ elite quarterbacks. Honestly, riding the pine for either of those teams might be better than actually playing for the Browns or Raiders.
Of course if no NFL suitors come along before the kickoff of the 2013-2014 season, he could follow the example of Terrell Owens and play for an indoor football team. According to the Omaha Beef team website, the CPIFL club has contacted Tebow's agent to offer him the whopping standard $75-per-game contract.
Tebow is still holding out hope that he will be signed to an NFL team sometime this off season, at the very least as a backup quarterback. He is still reluctant to change positions, but according to former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb in an interview with NFL Total Access, Tebow likely wouldn't cut it as a tight end or fullback either. "Tim Tebow is not a talented athlete who can do other things", Donovan continues, "[Tebow]is not a guy, look, if I am playing basketball, on the weekend, with the fellas, he's not one of my first picks".

The event starts at 6.30pm and will finish at dusk.
Tickets cost £40 + VAT per person, which includes a fish and chip supper – and the opportunity to fly over the beautiful Stratford and Warwickshire countryside where they will be able to film stunning aerial views to show off to their friends.
After the flight, being held in association with Take Flight Aviation, you will be able to see a small collection of Iconic Classic Cars.
This event is being offered on a 'first come basis' and once tickets have been sold your chance to fly in a light aircraft and do some 'once in a lifetime' aerial videoing will be lost.
Not everyone will want to film their trip – but why not just come along for the flight and enjoy the experience?
If you want to reserve your ticket please contact us at – email@example.com using the subject heading Flying Fish and Chips, we will contact you to arrange payment and confirm your booking.

Ansel Adams wrote a fabulous book titled 'the making of 40 photographs'. It's an enlightening read and I would strongly recommend you buying a copy of it.
I bought my copy in 1992.
In fact, I love photography books - good ones. I'm not a fan of those books which show you pictures of cameras. I'd much rather delve below the surface and try to understand the motivations of a photographer. Well this book is most definitely a 'must read'.
So in light of this, I kind of feel inspired to do something similar. So over the next while or so, I will start to publish a write up about some of my images - the stories behind them, situations around the making of them and perhaps even some of the reasons for why I shot them.
I'm off to the Isle of Eigg this Sunday for a week, during which I won't be able to post. So I hope to publish my first entry sometime later this week.
