Welsh-born opera singer Jason Howard came to Toronto 12 years ago for a three-day vacation and, after falling for shutterbug Shelagh Howard, never left. It's a love story worthy of South Pacific, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical in which Howard is playing the male lead, Emile de Becque, in the production on now at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. But instead of having palm trees and tropical sunsets as backdrops, their partnership plays itself out in the more domesticated setting of their Lawrence Park home. "Renovating houses is a passionate hobby of mine," Howard says. "Our kitchen is the true heart of the house."
1. The photographs
"These are mainly photographs of our children and family by my wife Shelagh, who is a professional photographer. She's also an art collector and that's her art on the wall, too."
2. The cabinetry
"We purposely ordered stock painted cabinetry from Rona, which I adapted where necessary to fit the space. We chose a light colour to make the kitchen look brighter than it originally was. I'm all about my investment portfolio, which is why I didn't go for a custom kitchen. My cabinets might be cheap, but my savings plan is exactly where I want it to be. When you're an opera singer, you think like that."
3. The lighting
"The lighting was designed to make the space as bright as possible. All the lights are on dimmers so we can change the mood of the room easily."
4. The colourful portrait
"This is a painting done of me in costume as Marcello in Puccini's La Bohème back in the early nineties, when I was with Welsh National Opera. Eugene Fisk was commissioned to paint the stars of WNO for an exhibition in Cardiff and he painted several of me. This was the only one I could afford at the time as it was the smallest."
5. The marble countertop
"It was Shelagh's idea to install light marble as opposed to the more popular dark granite for the surfaces. It lightens the room beautifully and looks like the kind of surface you would find in an old kitchen in Tuscany. I wasn't anticipating the island slab to weigh over 300 pounds, so I had to reinforce the unit below before it could be installed. The island is also on wheels, so we can move it out of the way for impromptu dance parties. I don't just sing, you know."
6. The flooring
"Removing the ceramic tile floor from the old kitchen was a back-breaking job - one which I never want to do again. We replaced it with natural-coloured wood flooring to match the rest of the main floor."Report Typo/Error

I arrived in Auckland this morning and my Kiwi friend, Wally, and friend from back home, Blaine, were already waiting for me at arrivals. After three and a half months of traveling it's so nice to see familiar faces! Blaine had just arrived from San Diego so we were both struggling a bit from jet lag. Wally drove us all back to his place in the city to shower and get settled.
After getting our heads back on straight, we walked down to the Auckland Viaduct for lunch. The Viaduct reminds me of a New Zealand version of the Sydney or San Diego Harbor. It's a little area right on the water with bars and restaurants. Everything is all hyped up for the World Cup and the All Blacks support is everywhere! The harbor is even filled with massive super yachts from wealthy travelers coming for the Rugby festivities. We decided on lunch at a spot called Degree and grabbed pizzas and ciders. It's great to be back to the western world but my bank account is not happy!
Wally's roommate and a group of their friends planned on going out for the New Zealand vs Japan match. We walked back down to the Viaduct to watch the match at O'Hagan's and it was absolutely packed! After a couple of beers, and establishing that The Blacks were going to dominate Japan, we left early and grabbed some tapas and drinks at Kermadeck. I filled up just enough to walk to Tyler St. Garage and begin the fun. A few vodka sodas and some shots of Cafe Patron later and we were well on our way to having a big night.
We walked down the street to 1885 Britomart. The Britomart is really trendy and has great music and delicious specialty cocktails. The best part of the night was when Wally went to the bar to order drinks and the girl next to him says "Can you not touch me?" It led to a huge blow-up ending in Wally covered in red wine and the girl getting kicked out. It was quite hilarious to watch the whole episode unfold. Lesson to the ladies: Not every guy wants you.

Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common problems encountered in term newborns. Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition in which there is too much bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a tetrapyrrole created by the normal breakdown of heme. Most bilirubin is produced during the breakdown of hemoglobin and other hemoproteins.
Accumulation of bilirubin or its conjugates in body tissues produces jaundice (ie, icterus), which is characterized by high plasma bilirubin levels and deposition of yellow bilirubin pigments in skin, sclerae, mucous membranes, and other less visible tissues. When red blood cells break down, a substance called bilirubin is formed.
Babies are not easily able to get rid of the bilirubin and it can build up in the blood and other tissues and fluids of the baby's body. This is called hyperbilirubinemia. Because bilirubin has a pigment or coloring, it causes a yellowing of the baby's skin and tissues. This is called jaundice.
About 60 percent of term newborns and 80 percent of premature babies develop jaundice. Infants of diabetic mothers and of mothers with Rh disease are more likely to develop hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice. When the baby is born, the baby's liver must take over this function.
There are several causes of hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice. Including first is Physiologic jaundice occurs as a "normal" response to the baby's limited ability to excrete bilirubin in the first days of life. Second is breast milk jaundice and inadequate liver function.

Burnley court visitors have had hundreds of items including illegal weapons and replica firearms confiscated by security staff, shock figures show.
Security officers have seized a total of 447 contraband items including knives, tools and booze from the town's three courthouses in the past year alone.
Two replica firearms and 24 blades were taken off people visiting court in Burnley since last October, according figures released to the Express under the Freedom of Information Act.
Staff, who operate metal detectors and conduct bag searches, seized a total of 74 tools and sharp objects across the three sites which include Burnley Combined Courts and Burnley and Reedley Magistrates' courts.
Fifty seven cameras and recording devices, not permitted in court, were also confiscated. Dozens of other items which could be used as a weapon, cause a hazard to others in the building or be used to disrupt the court proceedings were also listed in the figures.
A spokesman for her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service said: "HMCTS takes the issue of security within courts extremely seriously and has a robust security and safety system to protect all court users and the Judiciary.
"This system includes mandatory bag searches, metal detectors and surveillance cameras, as well as court security officers who have legislative powers to protect all those in the court building.
"The powers of the court security officers include the ability to restrain and remove people from the building should there be a need.
"Our security system is continually monitored to ensure that it is effective and proportionate and mitigates against the risks faced."

Make It Happen (Album Version) 04. Green Power Funk 05. One Of Those Days feat. MC Coppa 06. Sweet Games 07. In a Hurry feat. Leon The Pro 08. Bad Mofo 09. Hit It Maestro feat. MC Rayna 10. Whatya Gonna Do For Me feat. Claire G Phunk 11. Hunk Fop feat. Grand Slam (BadboE Mix) 12. Whats It Gonna Be feat. Nina Zeitlin & Michael DeVellis 13. Work It Out feat. Michael DeVellis It's been 3 years since BadboE shook the funky breakbeat world with his first full-length album Break The Funk (2009). Since then, he's stayed on top of his game as one of the key players in the scene, recognised for his unique raw type of funky breaks laced with a good dose of b-boy flavour and strong roots in old skool funk and soul. At the same time BadboE has been touring the world with his block rockin' DJ-set and released tracks on all major funky breaks labels including Bombstrikes, Good Groove, Baffin Beat Brigade and Bombastic Jam as well as remixing tunes by Layo & Bushwacka on Juno Records & GMF feat. Akil The MC on Sony Music. BadboE is now ready to drop his long-anticipated second album Pump Up The Funk, which will once again cause a stir and up the ante by combining BadboE's sampling techniques with original vocals and live instrumental recordings. On this album, BadboE has managed to flow seamlessly from classic funky breaks through glitchy ghetto funk to Soul, Disco, Reggae, Jazz and even Swing. It all blends perfectly under BadboE's treatment, and delivers the diversity that a good album should have. Pump Up The Funk features a wide range of vocalists from all over the world with one common goal – to add a new chapter to the much-loved story of funk and soul. Street poet and live performer MC Kitch from Australia, drops rhythmic party rap on the Introduction and Ghetto Funkalicious tunes while the UK's talented MC Coppa lays down his trademark dynamic vocals on summer jam One Of Those Days. USbased Leon The Pro, slams some b-boy rapping on soul cut In A Hurry, Italian MC Rayna gets her swing on in the Hit It Maestro jam and Claire G Phunk from Australia, delivers soulful vocals on Ghetto Funk Joint Whatcha Gonna Do For Me. Finally Michael DeVellis and vocalist Nina Zeitlin from New York get busy on the groovy What's It Gonna Be. Throughout the album, multi-talented Michael DeVellis, lays down live-recorded horns, strings, keys and flutes to create original soul and funk on the tracks. Furthermore, BadboE has gone back to sample some diamonds from rare old funk and soul 45's to ensure the presence of those authentic magical vibes from back in the day. As if that wasn't enough, BadboE even takes on the challenge of recreating the Hunk Fop tune by German funk group Grand Slam from the original master tapes. The result is cast iron proof that the funk is still very much alive in 2012 in a vital contemporary form. The ghetto funk genre is now a worldwide phenomenon with active scenes in Europe, Canada and Australia and word spreads further by the day. As long as BadboE is around, it's a certified fact that there will be enough funky street jams around to get the whole world on board to celebrate the funk!

Paying Attention to Stock Dividends
September 3, 2002
Many younger investors have never thought about dividends. Rather, they've fixated on capital appreciation of their stock holdings. Dividends largely fell out of fashion because of double taxation -- because corporate profits are taxed first at the corporate level, and taxed again at the individual level, when they are distributed as dividends.
But dividends constitute a contract between a company and its shareholders in which the company promises to share part of its earnings -- year in and year out -- with the shareholders. Especially following doubts about the kind of reported "earnings" that drove stock prices during the 1990s, dividends restore public confidence in stocks. There is now a push to change the tax code to once again encourage declarations of dividends through removal of double taxation.
- Over the past several years, average dividend yields have fallen from around 5 or 6 percent to 2 percent or less -- and many stocks pay no dividends at all.
- But dividends can be taxed by up to nearly 40 percent -- while the capital gains rate is only 20 percent.
- Thus a share buy-back by a company -- which increases capital gains -- is a better deal for shareholders than a dividend.
- That is why stock options became so profitable to corporate executives and encouraged them to do everything possible to drive up the stock price.
Putting all the emphasis on stock appreciation encourages the excesses in terms of earnings and stock options that have become apparent.
The disappearance of dividends has also created special problems for retirees who must live on income from their investments.
All of these considerations argue for the elimination of double taxation, observers say.

The 5 Smart Habits That Help Our Editors Eat a Healthy Breakfast
If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then why is it so darn hard to be good at it? Hectic weekday mornings all too often result in grabbing a muffin and coffee on your way into the office, or worse, skipping the meal altogether. But eating a healthy breakfast each and every day is a possible feat if you find smart strategies to help you do it. Seeking a few words of advice, I asked our editors to share their best tips for a happy, healthy morning meal.
But among all the editors was a common theme: When asked what their secret to a better breakfast is, they all said they rely on stocking their kitchens with the right ingredients and prepping them beforehand.
1. Always have yogurt on-hand.
"Most mornings I eat a 0% Fage or Siggi's with some almond butter, sour cherry jam, and half a banana," says Engagement Editor Ariel Knutson. Yogurt, especially a strained variety like Greek, has enough protein in it to keep you full throughout the morning — and it's a blank slate for whatever you may have on hand, like roasted nuts, granola, fresh fruit, and more.
2. Portion out your smoothie ingredients.
Sipping a smoothie is a great way to get a healthy boost of good nutrition in the morning, but gathering and measuring out all of the ingredients can sometimes take away precious moments during busy mornings. Social Media Manager Kaitlin Flannery likes to portion out the frozen ingredients for her smoothie the night before and leave it in the blender pitcher in the fridge. "I let it thaw overnight and then blend in the morning after I get dressed," she says.
3. Hard-boil eggs on Sunday.
Assistant Food Editor Kelli Foster is currently training for a triathlon, which means her breakfast routine is a serious business. "It's pretty crucial to start my day off with a solid breakfast (usually two of them), and have food prepped and ready to grab from the fridge," she says. Along with a protein shake, one of her favorite post-workout breakfasts is hard-boiled eggs. She boils up a big batch on Sunday so she can reach for them as she needs throughout the week.
4. Learn to love overnight oats.
Save the pot of oatmeal for the weekend and embrace hearty, satisfying overnight oats. "It's easy and travels well. I combine rolled oats, a bit of chia, and almond milk together in a Mason jar, and then I layer some fruit on top," says Art Director Samantha Bolton. In the morning they're ready to go and all you need to do is dig in.
5. Keep your fridge stocked with versatile staples.
Go beyond the usual breakfast beat with this great tip from Managing Editor Geraldine Campbell: "Cooked rice and beans is basically something I always have in my refrigerator. Sometimes I make brown rice, but lately I've been using the cumin-scented white rice recipe from Food & Wine, and black beans. I can eat it cold with a squirt of Sriracha if I'm in a rush — or if I have more time, I heat it up and fry an egg to put on top," she says.

Growing, understanding, giving and receiving,
Seasons of joy in a woman's life.
Each day I am yearning, each day I am learning
To be the woman, the best that I can be.
Seasons of Joy in a woman's life;
I am a daughter, a sister, mother, and wife.
Spring turns into Summer, and then into Fall.
Making the season I'm in the best season of all.
Springtime is a young girl on the brink of life.
Full of hope and longing, soon she'll be a wife.
Summer is young bride. Love's dream now fulfilled,
Joyously expectant, mother's hope revealed.
Autumn's woman mellows with a love for all,
Husband, children, kinship; wonderful is Fall.
Queen of all is winter, crowned with cap of snow.
Sorrows make but keener joys she'll always know.

NEW YORK -- Canadiens defenseman Stephane Quintal was suspended for one game for a fight with Carolina's Bob Boughner after Montreal's 3-1 victory over the Hurricanes.
Quintal will forfeit $10,370.37 of his salary. He was assessed a match penalty for attempting to injure during the brawl Saturday night.
Quintal tried to kick Boughner while both players were being restrained by the linesmen. He will miss Monday's game against Philadelphia.

The pretty summer fruits are gone and the weather has gotten frosty. I know it makes you feel like eating comfort food by the fire. Just because the chunky sweaters will cover that muffin top, there is no reason to fall off the healthy eating wagon. There are plenty of tasty choices available in the winter.
Inside that leathery skin, you will find a treasure trove of sweet, juicy seeds. These little gems are nature's Holiday gift to the health conscious gal. Pomegranates ruby red seeds can glam up a salad, turn a glass of champagne into a holiday cocktail, all while helping to reduce cholesterol, and pumping us full of antioxidants. Tasty and beautifying at the same time!
Kale has been gaining in popularity, and is a savior for those of you who love to plan ahead. It is much sturdier than spinach or lettuce and can be dressed hours before a party without wilting. The dark green leaves will hold up in your favorite white bean or veggie soup, and retain a bit of crunch. The mineral and vitamin content are much higher than its summer counterparts too, with loads of Iron and Vitamin C. Kale is also filled with Fiber and Sulphur, which will help you detox between all of those holiday parties.

Royal Navy TRAPPED in 'vicious cycle' of keeping ships 'beyond their sell by date'
THE Royal Navy is trapped in a "vicious cycle" of old ships being retained "well beyond their sell by date", a damning independent report has warned.
The Royal Navy is trapped in a "vicious cycle" of keeping old ships
It said the fleet is being "depleted" at great cost to the taxpayer because too few new ships are being ordered too late.
The report by Anglo-American chairman Sir John Parker also called for naval shipbuilding to be shared across the UK rather than focussed on the Clyde.
It was released a week after the Commons Defence committee warned that UK defences have been put at risk by the "woefully low" number of frigates and destroyers.
The MPs said the escort fleet has been slashed from 35 frigates and destroyers in 1998 to just 19 now.
And they slammed the "major shortcomings in specification, design and testing" which had led to a spate of engine failures in the fleet of Type 45 destroyers.
Each one of the £1billion ships is now having to have new diesel generators installed.
The fleet is being "depleted" at great cost to the taxpayer
This 'vicious cycle' is depleting the RN fleet and unnecessarily costing the Taxpayer
Sir John's report said there is a "renaissance in shipbuilding in commercial UK shipyards".
But he recommended a "sea change" in the MoD's approach which would create apprenticeships and skilled jobs across the UK.
The MoD is putting the finishing touches to the Navy's two new aircraft carriers, the biggest warships ever built in Britain, which are due to enter service from 2020.
But the MoD had yet to spell out how it will replace its 13 "ageing" Type 23 frigates with eight Type 26 and at least five more basic General Purpose frigates.
Sir John said procurement of Navy ships suffers from "a lack of pace".
He said there is a failure to "grip" design and specification to budget and building schedule.
Sir Michael Fallon said the report will inform the shipbuilding to match the needs of the Royal Navy
He said: "The current situation is that fewer (more expensive) ships than planned are ordered too late.
"Old ships are retained in service well beyond their sell by date with all the attendant high costs of so doing.
"This 'vicious cycle' is depleting the RN fleet and unnecessarily costing the Taxpayer. It needs to be broken..."
The MoD is putting the finishing touches to the Navy's two new aircraft carriers
Sir John called for future warships to be built at several shipyards and then assembled at a central hub - as happened with the two new aircraft carriers.
Garry Graham, deputy general secretary at the Prospect union said: "This a positive, forward looking report that identifies shipbuilding as a motor for the renewal of UK manufacturing.
"Delaying work costs more money in the long run and means that industry can't plan for the future."
The MoD said the report will help shape the National Shipbuilding Strategy which was due to be published this autumn but is now expected in the spring."
A Downing Street spokesman said he did not agree with the claim that the Navy is the victim of a vicious cycle of underinvestment in ships.
He said: "There's been a lot of investment in shipbuilding from the MoD - an estimate is £1.4 billion in 2014/15 on shipbuilding and repair in the UK alone. That resulted in 15,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs.

Breathtaking images issued by the Ministry of Defence of the Peregrine Trophy awards 2016 Will Haigh won Royal Navy Photographer of the Year 2016 Simmo Simpson won Best Maritime Image Award Jamie Weller won Royal Navy Amateur Maritime Image Award Joel Rouse won People's Choice Award
"So the investment in shipbuilding is going in.
"We've got money going into the Type 26, we're building two new offshore vessels on the Clyde and you've got the OPV (offshore patrol vessel) 4 and 5 contracts to be awarded shortly."
But Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said: "This report will inform our national shipbuilding strategy to match the needs of the Royal Navy with the ability to design and build efficiently, maintain skills, and maximise export opportunities.
"This will ensure a strong naval shipbuilding sector and help deliver an economy that works for everyone."
He added: Backed by a rising defence budget, the government is investing billions in a growing Royal Navy building two new aircraft carriers, new Type 26 Global Combat Ships, Dreadnought and Astute class submarines, and offshore patrol vessels. "We are also developing a new class of General Purpose Frigate so that by the 2030s we can grow the size of the fleet. This major programme of investment will increase the power and reach of our Royal Navy."

Someone recently asked me to define my style in the kitchen and I answered, without hesitation, that my recipes are fresh, seasonal, colorful and with a Latin twist. And this mango gazpacho is no exception.
It is a variation of the cold tomato soup Spanish have during the hot summer time. This gazpacho is prepared with mango. More tropical, impossible!
But in addition, it is made with Clamato which I buy in my local Walmart. Clamato is a drink I love. It is made with clam broth and tomatoes (hence the name that results from combining the two words).
Unlike the Andalusian gazpacho, this mango and Clamato one does not call for bread or olive oil, resulting in a refreshing and low calorie cold soup, perfect for these days of Lent.
Since I love serving food in unexpected ways, I decided to serve my gazpacho in a margarita glass rimmed with chili powder. As a garnish I minced red onion and red bell pepper and sliced some jalapeño. I hope you like it!
Mango Gazpacho
This mango gazpacho is made with only 2 ingredients: mango and Clamato. It must be served cold and garnished with jalapeño slices, and finely diced red onion and red bell pepper.
- 3 cups cold mango pulp cut into cubes
- 2 cups of cold Clamato
Put mango and Clamato in a blender.
Blend until a thick uniform mixture forms.
Serve immediately with the garnishes of your choice.
Thank you for saving and sharing this Mango Gazpacho recipe on Pinterest.0

Drake Bulldogs vs. Northern Iowa Panthers - 2/18/14
Northern Iowa Panthers (13-13) at Drake Bulldogs (13-13)
College Basketball: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at 9:00 pm (Knapp Center)
The Line: Drake Bulldogs 0 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Drake Bulldogs will host the Northern Iowa Panthers Tuesday night at the Knapp Center. These teams met earlier in the year and the Panthers won 76-66, thanks to 50 percent shooting.
While the Panthers have lost three of their last five games, they've won two straight. During that stretch, they've averaging 71.8 points and shooting 48.2 percent from the field. Defensively, they've allowed 72.2 points on 45.2 percent shooting. On the road is where they've really struggled, as they're 2-9 SU on the season and only shoot 40.9 percent from the field. They are 11-13 ATS overall and 5-10 ATS on the road.
The Bulldogs have only won one game in their last five tries. During that stretch, they're averaging 60.8 points on 43.2 percent shooting and allowing 68 points on 43.9 percent shooting. They've a mediocre 7-5 SU, average 72.9 points and allow 72.7 points on their home court. They are 12-12 ATS overall and 4-6 ATS on their home floor.
It's quite clear why the line is a pick'em as neither team has a real advantage. They're both middle of the road teams in the Missouri Valley Conference and likely aren't going anywhere once the season comes to an end.
But since the line is a toss-up, you have to go with the home team. Drake has won two of its last three games at home, and the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings between these two teams.
Northern Iowa has lost four of its last five road games and is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
You won't catch me wasting my time watching this game, but if you're bored and looking for a chance to make a quick dollar, throw a little something on the Bulldogs.

Snapdeal parent Jasper Infotech reported on Sunday, announced closure of $200 million fresh funding round led by one of the world's largest pension funds Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Singapore-based investment entity Brother Fortune Apparel, among others.
For a while now, Snapdeal has been at war with other e-commerce platforms operating in India. Its biggest competitions, by far, are Flipkart and Amazon. The latest funding round brings Snapdeal to the position of the second largest valued startup in the country, following Flipkart.
The round brings up the platform's value close to $6.5-$7 billion which is a great improvement following its previous valuation at $4.8 billion after a $500 million round led by Foxconn and Alibaba almost a half year ago. But again, considering how bigger investors are getting increasingly varied of Indian e-commerce companies' valuations, an increased valuation for a significantly lower round might bring in more troubles than better brand positioning.
Just under a month ago, Jasper Infotech reported a loss of Rs. 1328 crore for the previous financial year. This pointed towards the fact that the company's losses had increased five-fold in just 12 months. This was primarily because it spent heavily to maintain its market share amidst growing competition from Amazon and Flipkart.
This funding round comes just in time, giving the company some breathing space before it prepares for a much bigger (reportedly $1.4Bn funding round later). Iron Pillar and a few other investors also participated in this round, according to Venture capital.
The company says that the capital raised during this round, and a few previous ones, will be utilized to further build its technology platform, logistics, payments and back-end infrastructure.
We see these investments as a continuing endorsement of Snapdeal's strategy to build India's most reliable and frictionless commerce ecosystem,
said Anup Vikal, chief financial officer at Jasper Infotech, in a statement.
We continue to make targeted investments in building internal and external capabilities that will enable us to consistently deliver optimal experience for the millions of buyers and sellers who transact daily on Snapdeal.
Snapdeal's owner Jasper Infotech has raised to the north of $2 billion in funding from multiple investors. These include Premji Invest, Intel Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Ratan Tata, Japan's SoftBank, China's Alibaba Group and Taiwan's Foxconn.

U.S. border inspector fatally shoots knife-wielding Mexican man at California crossing
A U.S. border inspector fatally shot a knife-wielding Mexican man at a California crossing on Wednesday, and an agency official quickly defended his actions. The Customs and Border Protection officer fired his gun four times around midnight, striking the man in his chest and possibly in his neck at the port of entry in downtown Calexico, about 120 miles east of San Diego and across the border from Mexicali, Mexico, said Pete Flores, the agency's San Diego field office director. The 35-year-old Mexican, who was not permitted to enter the United States, was on a bicycle in a vehicle inspection lane for "trusted travelers" and appeared as if he wasn't going to stop, Flores said. The man wielded a knife that was about eight inches long after the inspector grabbed his other arm and forced the man to drop his bike. The man raised his knife and moved toward the inspector, who was backing away when the shots rang, said Flores, who didn't know the precise distance between the two men. The man was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The officer, who worked in Calexico since joining Customs and Border Protection in February 2008, was unharmed. Neither name was released...more

- From
- 7 March 1984
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Occupations
- Performing Arts Organisation
The Australian Girls Choir (AGC) was established in 1984 in Melbourne by music teacher Judith Curphey.
Whilst there were several boys' choirs in Australia, there was no opportunity available for girls (outside of school choirs). The accepted convention at the time was that boys sing 'better' than girls (hence cathedral choirs are made up only of male voices). Judith wanted to challenge this belief and create a choir that appropriately trained and developed girls' voices, particularly as their voices matured (as opposed to 'breaking' like boys voices) and conduct a choir that sang in Soprano and Alto registers only.
Her goal was to create a choir with a uniquely Australian sound and high artistic standards, a group which could dance as well as sing, and was renowned for its quality of presentation.
The Australian Girls Choir now has over 3,500 girls in training in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

We rarely eat at our dinner table, but I can feel a shift coming. So much of parenting is the shifting from one season to the next. With three little ones, life is constantly in flux from changing sizes to new skills to expanding vocabulary. And don't even get me started on food.
For the past five years, Zach and I have normally fed the kids an early supper, done the rigamarole of bedtime routines, and then settled in for our own dinner around 7:30. This worked well, because our meal didn't feel constantly interrupted by feeding baby food on tiny spoons or the fetching of many things throughout a toddler's meal. We could have a conversation or just some peace without getting frustrated over a toddler's dwindling selection of tolerable foods or in my husband's case, absent-mindedly finishing the baby's leftover food himself. During the kids' meals we were able to focus on the kids, perched on their kitchen stools with their petite-sized silverware and divided plates.
The dining table sat abandoned unless the kids needed a big space to spread out crafts or we had gathered a crowd for a party.
Lately though, we've started having a few meals here and there, especially on Sundays, when the five of us gather around the dinner table for a meal. Now that our older kids can carry on a conversation, albeit often goofy, it's fun to reconnect facing each other around a table. I make a point to light some candles, which they adore, and it's amazing how the flickering light can calm them and emphasize the ordinary special-ness of a meal together. The meals aren't fancy, in fact, I've found it really helps to pick the top hits – tacos, pizza, pasta – to keep my stress level low.
I'd say we're maybe at 10% of meals eaten like this (although with busy season right now, it's a little lower than that), but it has given me a glimpse into the future. Some of my favorite authors – Jenny Rosenstrach, Shauna Niequist, Ruth Reichl – have more poetically written about the power of the table, the consistent thread of meeting together for comfort from food and family. I believe it can shape a family. I'm grateful for our kitchen stool days because it helped us to navigate the crazy of three babies, three and under. But I'm deeply excited for the days ahead of eating with my most precious people around this table.
PS: So many of these thoughts and dreams came from a few favorite books – namely Dinner: A Love Story, Bread and Wine, and my own mom, who consistently gathered us around her table for food and comfort.

Afghanistan: aid agencies call for peacekeeping beyond Kabul
Aid agencies have called on the foreign secretary Jack Straw to widen the UN's Afghan peacekeeping mandate. In a letter delivered on Friday, Christian Aid and other aid agencies ask Jack Straw to sponsor a UN resolution to expand the role of the multinational security force in Afghanistan. The appeal came as NATO took over the international security assistance force (ISAF) in Kabul, the Afghan capital. But the UN mandate for ISAF only covers Kabul and the aid agencies strongly believe peace keeping troops should be based right across the country. "What is needed is not a long-term commitment from NATO to provide security in the capital city, Kabul, but rather a shorter term commitment to provide comprehensive and, in so far as possible, national security in the regions, until a properly trained and paid Afghan police force and army can provide this," Christian Aid, AfghanAid, Care International UK, Save the Children UK, and TearFund said. "The security situation in Afghanistan has shown a marked deterioration in recent months. In the longer term the most satisfactory way to achieve a secure and stable Afghanistan is to establish a properly trained police force and Afghan national army. Regrettably, such fundamental security institutions are unlikely to be fully functioning for some years." The letter also said local struggles for power, fuelled in some areas by the opium trade, are leading to a growing fragmentation of the country: "Growing criminality is compounding the insecurity felt by the Afghan population; there are numerous examples of robberies, thefts and assaults." is on course to be a sell-out.
