Healthy Foods
Eating healthy foods is one of the greatest ways you can live healthy and combat developing a disease. Some diseases are genetic and there's not much you can do about that. But others like Diabetes 2, Lung Cancer, and Heart Disease and might be prevented with the proper diet. Below is a list of healthy foods and some of the body parts they affects.
Basil is a great herb to add flavor to just about anything you are cooking, but also has many other benefits that may cause you to add it to your diet. It is known to reduce blood pressure and ease the symptoms of emphysema and bronchitis. Basil also makes a good natural insect repellent when rubbed on your skin.
Dietary Fiber
Dietary fiber promotes regularity, helps control caloric intake and promotes weight loss. It may also reduce the risk of certain cancer sandcardiovascular diseases, and help people with diabetes control their blood sugar.
Fruits and Vegetables
Vegetables and fruits are our most nutrient-dense foods. They contain the greatest amounts of nutrients per calorie of any food. Many nutrients, including the ones that fight against cancer and heart disease are found in fruits and vegetables. Vegetables have less sugars than fruits.
Spinach is an excellent example of a nutrient-dense vegetable. Spinach provides at least 50 % of the RDI for vitamin A, and about 20% of the RDI for vitamin C. Spinach is a good source of iron, calcium, and folate.
Asparagus is high in folate content (20 to 50% of RDI per serving). Folate is a nutrient identified as being important for pregnant women.
Pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A (as carotene), providing over 300 percent of the RDI. And canned pumpkin appears to have much more vitamin A than fresh-cooked pumpkin. This may be due to the fact canned pumpkin has more water cooked out of it than boiled pumpkin, and the varieties used for canning have intense orange color, a sure sign of carotene. Pumpkin is a good source of fiber and adds a little iron and folate to the diet as well.
Bell Peppers
Bell Peppers contain small amounts of vitamin K which is important in bone health. They are also an excellent source of vitamin A and C, two very powerful antiocidants that may help to reduce risk of cardiovascular diseases and several cancers.
Sweet Bing Cherries
Sweet Bing cherries are a good source of fiber. They provide about two grams per 1/2 cup serving.
Apricots are a great source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium and iron. Apricots are very good sources of vitamin A (as carotene). They provide about 35% of the RDI per serving.
Apricots are low in calories. 3 apricots only contain 50 calories.
Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C. They provide between 35 and 136 percent of the RDI per 1/2 cup serving. Strawberries are also a good source of fiber and iron. They provide about two percent and 3.5 percent respectively per 1/2 cup serving.
Soy Nuts
Soy nuts are high in protein and isoflavones.

"While it may seem as if we live in a man's world," reports Pollack, "we do not live in a boy's world." Many boys today are struggling either silently, with low self-esteem and feelings of loneliness and isolation, or publicly, by acting out feelings of emotional and social disconnection through anger and acts of violence against themselves or their friends and families.

Why "Canceling Christmas" was the Best Decision We Have Ever Made!
I'm afraid by putting my feelings into words somehow it will minimize the feeling we experienced this past Christmas morning. There was a magical and almost sacred feeling in our home and I hope that I can somehow convey that feeling to you reading this.
When we first started this journey (and before it became to the media…whatever it became to the media) it was just a hope. A hope that we could give our kids something more important this year, something they could keep forever. That we could help shape the way they were seeing the world and make them better men for it. I had faith that in future years they would be able to look back on this year with fondness and it would be remembered as being special. I also knew that it would most likely take a few years and some maturity before they could fully understand and appreciate why we did what we did this year. Thanks to a very special 5 year, that wasn't the case.
It started about a week ago when our youngest son, Beckham, started wrapping things up and putting them under the tree. First it was pictures he had drawn, then small toys, and pretty soon he had gone through a whole roll of wrapping paper. His older brothers saw this and suddenly they wanted in. Every box in our house that was empty would disappear within minutes, be filled, wrapped, and placed under the tree. Every time I walked into my room the wrapping stuff had been pulled out and was all over the floor. I wasn't involved at all with what was being wrapped and sat back and just watched as this happened.
Christmas Eve came and the boys were so excited! More excited than usual. They set out cookies for Santa without waiting for us and were so anxious to place the carrot and rosemary wreath outside for the reindeer. I was getting worried thinking that somehow they hadn't really understood that Santa wasn't coming. We do a slumber party every Christmas Eve in our room. When they had all settled down I told them that I was going to be placing an ornament in their stocking (like we do each year) and reminded them that was all there would be. Santa wasn't going to be coming to our house to leave toys, just to get a snack for him and the reindeer. They said they understood and it was okay.
In the morning they were so happy to find the cookies and wreath had been eaten and Santa had actually left them a piece of See's candy, a sucker, and a special letter to each of them. We ate our traditional breakfast and the boys were giddy to pass all the presents out. There were 8 or 9 presents for each of them, all from each other. And that's when the magic happened. They had not wrapped up small meaningless toys, they had given each other the best of what they all individually had. They gave the things that mattered most to them. You could see they were filled with joy and delight on the looks of their brother's faces when they saw what they had received. I know they also felt loved when they saw they had been given something that meant so much to the brother it was from.
Don't get me wrong, there were still some silly things inside. Beckham is our little pack rat and thinks throwing anything away is a crime. We always find "trash stashes" of things he has confiscated from the trash. It wasn't surprising to see that one of the presents Caleb opened was a lightbulb that we had thrown away a few days before. Caleb's reaction was priceless! He held it above his head and said, "Look Beckham gave me a prop because I always have so many good ideas!" It was so funny and so amazing that something meaningless to most kids was something he actually appreciated and took the time to care about. We tried to tell him it was okay to throw away later and he said, "I want to keep it because Beckham really wanted me to have it." He only relented to sneaking it into the trash when we told it was for safety because of the glass.
We sought out this month to teach our kids a lesson about giving and kindness, and in the end it was them who taught us. They faced what so many kids would have seen as the worst Christmas ever and turned it into the best Christmas for themselves and certainly for us as their parents. It is no wonder that the Savior wanted us to be like little children.
Matthew 18: 2-4
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
There is more I want to write about the logistics of how we deliberately created giving opportunities for them throughout the whole month. I do not think you would get the same results if done in anger, and if you did not take the time to still make Christmas magical. But when done in a positive and loving way I think "Canceling Christmas" can be a wonderful, life changing experience.
Most of all I am very grateful for my boys. They got a bad reputation that they did not deserve at all. They truly are amazing! I am also grateful for a better appreciation of the power of love and sacrifice. I felt the true message of Christ's birth and life permeate my heart in a new and powerful way.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that this new year you find joy and happiness!

Wyebrook Farm Café & Restaurant
150 Wyebrook Rd., Honey Brook
610-942-7481 / WyebrookFarm.com
When we wrote in 2012 about what Dean Carlson planned for Wyebrook Farm's 360 acres, we were impressed. Now we're enthralled. From the original concept of raising grass-fed beef, heritage breed pigs and free-pastured chickens and butchering them onsite, to farm-to-fork chef's tables, summer concerts, and then on to props from Martha Stewart, Craig LaBan and Open Table's Top 100 al fresco dining spots, this rustic and refined gem keeps getting better. The seasonal menu changes, so check the website, but prepare for meat-centric options—pan seared pork chop, smoked beef shoulder, grass-fed beef burger—plus pasta perfection with house-made campanelle, pappardelle, conchiglie. All complemented with local produce and capped off with artisanal cheese plates, reflecting Carlson's book, Field and Feast, Sublime Food from a Brave New Farm.
Malvern Buttery
233 E. King St., Malvern
610-296-2534 / MalvernButtery.com
John and Silenia Rhoads invented it, and the rave reviews are in. Fresh, local, green, organic, welcoming. The rich aromas of coffee and made-on-site breads greet you. You choose your breakfast, lunch or snack from the daily chalkboard and serving table, selecting from soups, sandwiches, salads, quiches, flatbreads, baguettes, croissants, pastries, cookies and more. Modern and bright, filled with long wooden communal tables, as well as comfy couches and chairs, the space and food make you want to linger as you look out on King Street. Pay at the door as you leave. For now, though, relax, chat and watch the world go by.
Cornerstone Cheese & Charcuterie
1 West Ave., Wayne
610-688-1888 / CornerstoneWayne.com
After Wayne's 2012 dining explosion, new additions are now curated—like the careful selections at Cornerstone, opened in October as the passion project of Christine and Nick Kondra. The shop sells prepared foods, cheese from around the world, as well as house-made pate and sausages, and offers a 14-seat, U-shaped table for BYOB sampling from seasonal lunch and dinner menus. It also hosts bi-monthly chefs tastings and classes: coming soon, David Punch from Boston's Sycamore, plus Gabriel Frasca and Amanda Lydon from Nantucket's Straight Wharf. Enjoy to-die-for cheese and charcuterie boards and recommended pairings—from a memorable Spanish blue cow/goat/sheep cheese heavenly paired with honey to a local Doe Run Farm selection soaked in Victory's Hop Devil Beer. Say cheese, please.
Devon Yards
Former Waterloo Gardens property, Devon
This is just to say we have a plum of a place to anticipate in Devon. Plans are progressing for two restaurants from James Beard winning Chef Marc Vetri at the six-plus-acre, mixed-use (apartments, Terrain, Anthropologie) project from Urban Outfitters. Look for Pizzeria Vetri, named Best Pizza Restaurant in America, and Vetri's more upscale, yet rustic Amis, a Bon Appetit winner for Top 10 Places for Pasta. No date set yet, but it will be sweet.

Septarian Tumblestone - Large Formed between 50 to 70 million years ago. Septarian nodules are concretions - a volume of sedimentary rock in which a mineral cement fills the spaces between sediment grains. If the cement does not wholly block all the cavities thus formed, water can percolate, often depositing other minerals, particularly Quartz. This gives the nodules complex internal structures, with many different zones and areas of crystallization. This Septarian nodule is showing a binding agent of Calcite, the yellow colour. The darker brown lines are Aragonite and the light brown rock is Limestone. This large tumblestone is from Madagascar and is approx. 4.3 cms x 4.2 cms x 3.2 cms. Check out my other items !

Mobile billing. Sounds scary, doesn't it? Especially in bold letters. But when it comes to online gambling, putting down casino deposits via your mobile phone bill is becoming quite commonplace. Quick, easy and with no fuss, you can text your deposit with SMS and within minutes you'll be gambling. It's secure and it works. It certainly beats filling out endless credit card forms. But there's something unique about the UK mobile billing market in the fact it seems to be the only nation (at least, in Europe) that uses it to attract new online players. Curious, but why is this? Well, according to industry giants, this is probably due to the £30 deposit limit.
The European Market
In a recent video published online, co-founder of txtNation, Micheal Whelan, claimed that customers aren't just getting used to Mobile Billing in the UK: "[They're] becoming more comfortable with it, especially in the Nordic countries where we do a lot of business."
TxtNation, a B2B mobile billing options company, is connected to at least 40 operators worldwide for billing and provides single-click payments in around eight to 10 of the markets, including Switzerland.
Whelon went on to say that the highest consumer-spending power in Europe is the contract phone, particularly in Switzerland where pay-as-you-go is non-existent. However, there seems to be a lack of restriction in these markets with customers betting £30, £40 and £50 at a time. Some even go as far as a £100 a day! This is the reason such companies enter these foreign markets — the potential earnings are HUGE. The Europeans must be braver than we are. Most mobile billing companies would never let you surpass £30 a day.
The £30 Limit
This is all well and good, but what about the UK? Why is mobile billing so special on these shores? Well, it's strongly hinted at that the £30 limit on depositing might have something to do with it. In his interview, Whelan acknowledged that the £30 limit isn't very high for the gambling industry as people tend to put down more than that daily. He then went onto say that this might be the very thing that attracts new players in the first place.
"It's good for first time acquisition and deposits, of course," he said. "£30 per user per day," Whelon admitted.
So although the deposit limit is quite low, the fact that it's there at all is what seems to attract these new players. After all, there is that small, niggling doubt before you start gambling that this could get out of hand very quickly. In order to eliminate that doubt, it's best to have that safety net in place. Also, the UK as a country is expensive enough as it is. Making the deposit something like, say, £50 will definitely turn away any potential new players.
Anyway, it's not like you can go beyond that limit by switching to credit card billing.
Our Verdict
In his concluding statements, Whelan said about mobile billing: "For the online gambling industry, it's very important because you don't have any forms to fill out. It takes away the impulse of using a credit card."
It is very easy to grab a credit card and go nuts when you can spend as much as you want with it then get that terrifying bill shock at the end of the month. This is probably the most integral reason why mobile billing exists at all — to prevent problem gambling. Of course, mobile companies have no right to tell us how much to spend (after all, it's our money) but by implementing this limit there are far less likely to be people who receive the "bill shock".
This, overall, is why the UK mobile billing market is so special. We know what our limits are and, instead of ignoring them, we embrace them and use them as a rule of thumb so that we don't end up in crippling debt.

* Air Berlin in push to save 8,000 German jobs
* Key shareholder Etihad abandons talks with TUI on leisure airline
* Prospective partner Lufthansa said Air Berlin's debt a hurdle (Adds background on Air Berlin's problems, Etihad, Lufthansa)
FRANKFURT, June 8 (Reuters) - Ailing German airline Air Berlin said on Thursday it has asked the German states of North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW) and Berlin to consider possible loan guarantees amid signs of waning support from Etihad Airways, its biggest shareholder.
Abu Dhabi-owned Etihad, which has thrown Air Berlin several life lines over the years, earlier on Thursday said it had pulled out of a prospective deal to combine Air Berlin's holiday flight business Niki with tour operator TUI Group's own carrier TUIfly.
Bigger German rival Lufthansa, which last year agreed to lease 38 crewed planes from Air Berlin, has held talks recently with the Abu Dhabi government about taking part in salvaging the remaining Air Berlin business but said its debt was a sticking point.
Air Berlin, whose losses increased to a record 782 million euros ($877 million) in 2016, is now scrambling to protect its roughly 8,000 jobs in Germany, mainly based in the two regional states of Berlin and NRW.
Officials of the two states declined to comment.
Etihad, which holds 29 percent of Air Berlin, last month appointed a new boss as it rethinks its strategy of expanding its network by spending billions of dollars on buying minority stakes in other airlines, including Air Berlin and heavily indebted Italian carrier Alitalia..
German newspaper Die Welt was first to report the Air Berlin loan guarantee request, saying the aim was to see whether the regional states would be ready to step in, citing people close to the negotiation.
For now, Etihad continues to provide funding. Air Berlin said Etihad has granted another loan facility of 350 million euros and a letter of support for at least 18 months.
Air Berlin Chief Executive Thomas Winkelmann told a German newspaper on Wednesday he would have to find a partner this year to help secure jobs and the company's long-term future and a pact with Lufthansa was among the options.

Over the weekend I noticed a number of posts on Facebook about Megyn Kelly replacing the hour that Al Roker and Tamron Hall host on the "Today" show.
Nothing is official yet, but it sounds like one of two things will happen. Either she gets the 9:00 A.M. timeslot between the first two hours of the "Today" show and the fourth hour, which features Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.
She gets the fourth hour, the 10:00 A.M. timeslot, with Kathie Lee and Hoda being bumped up to 9:00.
In either scenario, she'd be replacing the hour of the show that Al Roker and Tamron Hall host now. Al and Tamron wouldn't lose their jobs. They'd just be moved to other parts of the show.
Megyn will also contribute to NBC's political coverage, and will anchor a Sunday "newsmagazine." Although there's talk now that the Sunday gig might be a short-term thing, and won't be a weekly thing forever.
She's supposed to start at NBC in May.
Would you be upset if Megyn replaced Al and Tamron?

INTC (aka "I Need The Chase") is a tantalizing song, that will keep your ears engaged from start to finish. From the start, you're thrusted into the songs atmosphere with a relaxing piano start then beat before Eleri's vocals takes center stage. An easy to remember hook, and lyrics that have depth, INTC looks to be a hit in my book once it's released. This hot single from Eleri's upcoming album 'Love Cyanidation' is out now , but be on the lookout for the official music video release December 2nd!
-listen below!
Soundcloud: INTC
Artist Bio:
Eleri releases her second single "I Need the Chase" off of her upcoming album Love Cyanidation due out on February 3rd. The official music video is due out on December 2, 2014.
Eleri embraces contrast on her gorgeously lush full-length debut, Love Cyanidation. She remains entrenched in the classical training she received in her youth while also forging into the electronic expanse mined by mavericks such as Imogen Heap, Nine Inch Nails, Björk, and deadmau5. As a result, the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer conjures up a seductive sound that is unequivocally her own.
Growing up in a small town just north of Chicago, Eleri immersed herself in music, taking guitar, voice, and piano lessons and frequenting Berklee College of Music summer programs. Once she moved to the City of Angels and transformed her apartment into The Canopy Studios, Love Cyanidation started to come to life with Eleri producing, engineering, and playing every instrument herself. That title encapsulates the story at its heart.
"In gold cyanidation, you have to use poison to extract this beautiful metal—gold," she explains. "In life, our greatest pains are necessary to find our greatest pleasures, wisdom, and love. The album is about love and relationships. I replaced 'gold' with 'love' to represent that process of pain and pleasure in finding happiness."
In early 2014, Eleri unveiled "Play Me," a track blending her breathy delivery with a Vaudevillian spark and synth bounce that exudes a sexually charged kinetic spark. Chris Corner of IAMX (Gary Numan, Imogen Heap) directed the sultry MUSIC VIDEO for the song.
Elsewhere on Love Cyanidation, Eleri delivers a plaintive tale of unrequited love on "Butterfly" with soft acoustic guitar punctuated by her poetic lyrics as an unforgettable hook takes flight. "I Need The Chase" taps into a distinctive energy that's as driving as it is delicate. The album culminates on the ethereal and entrancing "Wake Up Dreaming" where the electronic elements wrap and her warm vocals lead a lithe and luxurious send-off.
"I had written so many songs about my first real relationship," she shares. "At some point you've got to let go and move on, which leaves you with a bittersweet feeling."
Ultimately, Eleri's search for love within the music will prove inspirational for anyone embarking on this journey with her. "I'd love for people to feel like they're not alone when listening to my music," she leaves off. "I want to shine light on that beauty and love we all have in ourselves."

Birthday parties, christenings, 40 years of memories, all detailed in the album that Mari Lou Valley thought she had lost forever.
"Even if there was a time machine, I couldn't meet these people and have pictures of them," said Valley, who was reunited with her album yesterday in Seattle.
Valley, of Vancouver, B.C., said the album was stolen from a Greyhound bus in September while she was traveling between Vancouver and San Jose, Calif. When she changed buses in Seattle, she discovered the suitcase containing her three photo albums was gone. She suspects it may have been taken when the bus stopped for Customs at the U.S.-Canada border.
"I cried all the way to San Jose," Valley, 58, said of the albums that chronicled her life from the Philippines to Philadelphia and then to Vancouver.
The album was found amid construction debris by an RCI Herzog crew working on Sound Transit's light-rail project in South Seattle. Valley's other two albums still are missing, but the one Herzog found was the most precious.
"I said, 'Lord, it may be impossible but please, if you will it, it will be found,' " said Valley, who considers herself a born-again Christian.
Valley left the Philippines in 1974. She ran a travel agency, worked in sales and hopes to return to school for a nursing degree.
Even with the theft of her album, Valley said she believes in the goodness of people.
When her father, a former governor in a Philippines province, hired criminals to clean the governor's mansion, Valley taught them religion.
"I taught them to be kind and caring," she said. "Even in hardened criminals you can find goodness in them, and I brought out the goodness."
The album cover is torn, the cloth that covered it is gone, and some pictures are missing. But there was little water damage despite the album having been dumped at a construction site.
Lauren Robison, with Herzog, searched for weeks to find the album's owner but had no success until the story of the found album was made public. Friends and relatives of Valley contacted Herzog and The Seattle Times, and she was reunited with her album.
"When we found this album, we knew it was a priceless part of someone's life and that we had to find the owner," Robison said.
As a final irony, Valley rode a Greyhound bus to Seattle to retrieve the book yesterday. Asked whether she had any qualms because of her experience with the bus company, she said she had none.
"I'm not a person who dwells on the negative," she said. But for her ride back to Vancouver, the album would be close by her side.

Essex, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 06, 2012 -- If there is one thing that people in the United Kingdom can appreciate right now it is having a new way to save money. Even better is when they can do this while getting something that they really want. Cruises are certainly something a growing number of travel fans want and when they look on the web, what they discover is that this is a simple, straight forward way for them to be able to reduce their costs. At sites like AdoreCruises.co.uk, visitors can choose from a whole array of different cruises from popular lines such as Star Clippers, Thomson Cruises, P&O Cruises, Holland America Line, Disney Cruise Line, Cunard Cruises, Costa Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Princess Cruises and a whole lot more. Destinations, too, abound and choosing places like Europe, the Far East, Africa, Alaska, the Pacific, Scandinavia, the Nile or the Middle East is so easy to do. Planning the perfect cruise has never been easier and saving money on it has certainly never felt better. With this kind of high performance website at their fingertips, travelers will discover all of the details they need to make planning their ideal cruise a snap.
Online, companies are able to reach out to their customers for far less and this means the offers they can make are also less costly as a result. Sites such as http://www.adorecruises.co.uk make the entire process simpler for everyone involved, giving them the best value for their money and getting a lot of the hard work out of the way by providing gorgeous photos, full detailed information, schedules and everything else that travelers need to know, putting it in one easy to access location. This is the way cruises will be booked in the future, too, simply because it provides such a great wealth of information that's accessible so quickly and with so little hassle. Not having to dial up a travel agent definitely helps remove some of the stress that people go through. They don't have to be worried about being sold on anything other than what they already wanted to sign up for. That's the way many in the UK today feel it should be.
To discover all that is possible for today's cruise fans, hop over to this site and have a look. Or call 0800 954 1544 to speak with a cruise expert right now.

I've written the checks, helped send supplies and done all measure of hand-wringing. But still when I read about the tragedy that has struck, I feel there is more my family and I are meant to do. So. OK. Call me naive, ignorant or foolish, but I was one of the many who heard about the travesty of orphans in Haiti and suddenly wanted more than anything to adopt a needy child from that devastated country.
Here are the facts as best we know them. According to Dr. Jane Aronsen of Worldwide Orphans Foundation, there were already 380,000 children orphaned in Haiti before the quake and only about 300 American adoptions from the country every year; 1,500 worldwide. Since the quake, estimates have ranged from tens to hundreds of thousands more orphaned or abandoned children. Additionally, the UN reports that more than 40 percent of the population is under the age of 14; that's four million young children currently trying to survive in a country that is ill-prepared to deal with more hardship.
And then I heard NPR's Debbie Elliott speaking about the tragedy of the children left behind, and it was all I could do not to catch the next plane and find my child, the one whose life I might be able to save. (Oh right, someone else had that idea and it didn't really work out too well, did it?)
Christine Gonzales, mother of adopted children from Haiti, understands this urge. She cautions restraint,
"As the rest of the world watches, we cannot help but hurt and hope and desperately seek ways to help. Pictures of orphans and news stories of destruction cause us all to want to grab a passport and come home with as many children possible. It is normal. Yet, it is not practical. At this point in time, it is also not best. The children of Haiti need every opportunity to be raised, in Haiti, in a safe and healthy home (even if, right now, it is a tent). Due to the recent catastrophe, it will easily take weeks, possibly months, to locate family of displaced children. Yet, for the sake of these kids, that must be the main focus at this time."
UNICEF agrees. Its position on inter-country adoption is as follows:
"The case of children separated from their parents and communities during war or natural disasters merits special mention. It cannot be assumed that such children have neither living parents nor relatives. Even if both their parents are dead, the chances of finding living relatives, a community and home to return to after the conflict subsides exist. Thus, such children should not be considered for inter-country adoption, and family tracing should be the priority."
Blogger Kristin Howerton is the mother of adopted Haitian son Kembe. She doesn't agree with UNICEF's stance.
"I am cognizant of the losses involved in adoption and specifically the cultural losses involved in international adoption. However, children who never form loving attachments with adults are at risk for much greater losses than cultural identity. Studies show institutionalized children are at high risk for incarceration and may exhibit developmental delays, hoarding/stealing, hyper-sexual behavior, habitual lying, outbursts of rage, autistic traits and cruelty to children or animals. Parents who have adopted older children from orphanages know the harsh reality of attachment issues and are doing the difficult therapeutic parenting required to reverse these effects. You have likely angered many of them with a casual endorsement of UNICEF's anti-adoption stance, when they observe the far-reaching issues their children face even after adoption.
Heroes such as Dr. Yvonne Jean-Francois is deeply concerned. She is a Haitian-American from the Bronx and has been serving as a temporary medical director for a makeshift facility to assist earthquake victims since mid-January. She finds it hard to imagine how children can remain safe from trafficking and exploitation in the weeks and months ahead. "It's just kids on the streets," she said. "It's much easier now for people to access children, especially because there are so many orphans."
There have been stories of success. Another hero, pediatrician Dr. Jen Halverson, who temporarily left her practice in Minnesota to assist after the earthquake, believes the hard work of reuniting children with their parents is essential. She writes movingly of the efforts to find the parents of the children for whom she has helped. One boy was incredibly lucky.
"Several people were working on finding his dad. Lisa Hojara took him out into Port au Prince to see if he would recognize anything. Eventually, Lisa and Ryan, one of our nurses, took him to one of the Haitian TV stations. They interviewed him and aired the interview that night. The next day, his dad walked into Heartline Hospital. The smile on this boy's face was indescribable. His dad's smile was just as wide. Dad told me he hadn't seen his son in about a month. Watching dad interact with his son was very, very cool."
However, if this earthquake is, as UNICEF has said, a children's emergency, then can caution and restraint be optimal? Adopting from Haiti is notoriously slow and cumbersome. Three different Haitian governmental agencies are involved, each with its own bureaucracy (and histories of corruption) leading to adoptions that can take upwards of three to five years. Kathy Cassel adopted twins from Haiti. She started in 2006 and finally got them two weeks after the earthquake. If the earthquake didn't happen, would it have taken that much longer?
Dawn, an adoptive mother, provides a thorough analysis of the issue of adopting from Haiti on her blog, "Creating a Family." She says,
"Haiti, in some ways, is a microcosm of the larger debate on the place of international adoption in a third world country's child welfare system. In other ways, Haiti stands unique in the degree of poverty and family disintegration. These problems existed before the earthquake, but the earthquake has exacerbated the problem and focused the world's attention on Haiti for this short time."
Given a tragedy of these dimensions, you would think the orphanages are overwhelmed. But UNICEF is blocking the delivery of children to Haitian orphanages due to fear of trafficking, exploitation and the belief that Haiti's children should stay in the country. Dixie Bickel, an American nurse who has been in Haiti for 19 years and currently is the director of God's Little Angels (a Haitian orphanage ministering to children since 1994), writes on her blog,
"8 weeks ago we had 152 children at GLA and in approximately 2 weeks time all but 17 of those children left Haiti to join their "forever" families. [Since then,] we have received lots of children. Some from other orphanages, some from mothers living on the street, some for adoptions, and some here for help only. We started with 17 children in February and now have 66! UNICEF still has not allowed any children to be placed at GLA."
Claudia D'Arcy believes we need to understand that orphanages serve a different role in countries like Haiti.
"For many undeveloped countries, an orphanage is not a place where children go if they have no parents. Often an orphanage is run by missionaries or organizations funded from other more Westernized countries. It is only in an orphanage that children are guaranteed a certain level of care, such as an education; basic needs of life, such as food and clothing; and medical attention. In many countries, it is only the act of placing these children in orphanages that enables their survival. Of course, in a war-torn or famine-ridden society, these desperate parents truly WANT their children to be in an orphanage as that is the only way these children have a chance to live."
They may serve a different role, but if the children aren't allowed to even get to the orphanages, how can the needy be helped? SOS Children's Villages thinks it has the answer. This NGO provides "families" to abandoned children by setting up homes with a "mother" and "siblings." The children are not adopted off to other countries but are raised in country by a paid "mother" in sanctioned living quarters. This organization was entrusted with the 33 children allegedly kidnapped by the 10 deeply misguided American "do-gooders." Currently, SOS Children's Villages in Haiti are taking in young victims by the hundreds with the support of UNICEF and the Haitian government.
It is clear to me after all of this that adopting a child from Haiti is not likely in our future. Despite great need, my child would be locked in a political game of tug-of-war. I am grateful for the thousands of volunteers, such as Dr. Yvonne Jean-Francois and Dr. Jen Havlerson, and the work they are doing. But one day, they will go home, and the country will be left with over 500,000 abandoned children. If the orphanages can't take them for bureaucratic and political reasons and NGOs, such as SOS Children's Villages, are too overwhelmed to meet the need, who will care them then? My child needs help now.

Software development
Software Development or "Computer Programming" as it is probably better known is something that every successful business will turn to at some point or another and if you're already thinking about creating a specific solution then you probably already need it.
Most companies that have software tailor made for their activities do so because doing the tasks manually have either become so mundane that anything is better than doing the same thing over and over or because the current way simply isn't cost effective any more.
Typically businesses will look to software to make their life easier after an extended period of growth but in recent times, businesses all over the world have also developed software to give their competition something to think about.
It's an industry filled with technical jargon and if you speak to a programmer who assumes you already know everything there is to be known about software then you're likely to be put off the idea for life.
Seriously, it sounds incredibly complex (and is if you don't speak the language) but ultimately, creating a piece of software that does everything you need it to is relatively straight forward if you have the right people.
And yes, at DesignLancer we certainly have the right people.
Our own talented team speak almost every programming language under the sun and are readily equipped to develop bespoke software for any platform.
The most popular platforms are listed below (and even if it isn't on the list, email us and we'll see what we can do for you)...
- MySQL
- Adobe Flex
- Action Script
- JavaScript
- eCommerce
- iPhone Programming
- Adobe Creative Suite
- Google Android
- Wordpress
- Symfony
- Magento
Software Development remains the most popular form of Website Development as it offers the creator custom solutions that meet the end users required needs.
Whether you're creating software for Business to Consumer benefits or on a Business to Business level, the same principles of researching, developing, modifying, integration and quality control apply.
Once our team have analysed the problems your business currently faces and tirelessly researched the best way to move forward, devising a plan and offering a recommended business solution is the next step and from this point onwards, communication is key and we take you're input on board and work within the confines of your instructions.
When it comes to Software Development, the final product isn't the final product until you no longer have to think about the software any more.
The day you can barely remember what it does is the day it has firmly stamped its authority on your business.
Alternatively, you may always remember what it does because when you cast your mind back to a time where you operated without it, you wake up in a cold sweat.

After a very busy weekend, I decided to chill out for a bit and enjoy some time out east with my family. It's always nice to leave the hustle and bustle of the city every once in a while. Here I am wearing my favourite denim jacket. I feel it really dresses down the bow tie and dress shirt nicely. The shorts used to be old jeans, but I decided I like them better as shorts. I even studded the front pocket and two of the belt loops in the back.

Women's Health Program funding plan outlined
Updated 12:00 am, Friday, June 22, 2012
AUSTIN — Cost-saving, cuts and crackdowns will help fund the state's takeover of a health care program for low-income women in Texas, after it cut ties with Planned Parenthood-affiliated providers and lost federal dollars in the process.
The state plans to use funds from a Medicaid fraud crackdown and services deemed unnecessary, plus a hiring freeze on administrative positions in health and human services, to pay for the $40.1 million program.
The rest, needed to continue in the current budget period, will come from savings due to eligibility-system changes, an overtime reduction and state money appropriated for the program before Texas got on the wrong side of the federal government by banning Planned Parenthood and other clinics affiliated with abortion providers.
The ban — which applies even though the affected clinics don't themselves provide abortions — has been halted by a federal court order while Planned Parenthood pursues a lawsuit saying the move violates its constitutional rights.

The state's decision has already prompted the federal government to say it must end financial support for Texas' program. Federal funding, which has paid for 90 percent of the program's annual cost, will wind down this year.
Gov. Rick Perry has promised Texas will continue the program, which provides health screening and contraceptives. He directed Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Tom Suehs to find enough state money.
There is a caveat to the program's continuation, however. The state has said that if it's forced to include Planned Parenthood as a result of the lawsuit, it will instead have to end the program because state law won't allow funding for such organizations.
On the assumption the program will continue, Suehs got approval last month from the Legislative Budget Board and Perry's office to shift funding within his agency to free up $40.1 million in the current two-year budget period, which ends Aug. 31.
The money would come from:
An increase in fraud and abuse recovery receipts and lower-than-projected utilization of services including dental and transportation services. Agency spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman said the agency has cracked down on dental practices performing unnecessary services: $27.6 million
Early retirement of old eligibility determination system and reduction in staff overtime: $9.2 million
Targeted hiring freeze for administrative positions, including contractors: $3.2 million
State general revenue already appropriated: $2 million
Suehs said in a letter proposing the planthat he would continue working with Attorney General Greg Abbott's office to reinstate federal funding.
Jeffrey Hons of Planned Parenthood Trust of South Texas said the state's plan bears watching.
"Everything I get from people is that there isn't enough money for dental services in Texas," he said.
On the Women's Health Program, Hons said, "It does not matter how they pay for this program. If Planned Parenthood is an otherwise qualified medical provider of these services, you can't just push us out of the program for these ideological reasons. It violates the Constitution of the United States and the speech and association freedoms upon which we have built this nation."

As the leading granite countertop supplier in Spokane, we notice that more of our residential and commercial customers are in line with a global trend, and asking us to install thinner granite surfaces.
Thickness Range
For decades, the traditional thickness for granite countertops has been on the opulent side, 2 to 3cm (0.75 to 1.25 inches). But in recent years the trend has been heading towards slimmer granite countertops in Spokane, whose residents want a more elegant look, with thicknesses going down to a chic and ultra-thin 1cm (0.4inches).
Thinner & Stronger
The thinnest granite countertops in our Spokane showroom are 1cm (0.4inch). These are backed with a tough layer of carbon-fiber composite which gives them a flex strength that is the same as a 3cm-thick granite slab, while being only a third of the weight.
Sleek, Trendy Looks
Traditional granite countertops spokane » found in traditional homes, restaurants, club-houses and hotels tend to feature larger thicknesses of granite. By contrast, thinner designs give a sleek, minimalist look. The result is a décor which has a sophisticated, urban appeal. This works for modern homes as well as trendy bars and nightclubs, plus Spokane's cooler coffee shops, restaurants and hotels.
More Space
Thinner granite countertops create the impression of more space. This works well for our customers with smaller kitchens, apartments and public premises in Spokane, where granite countertops spokane » on the thinner side are a good look.
It is NOT ok to contact this poster with commercial interests.

It looks like the Justice Dept. may be close to landing its first big fish in the Enron case: Andrew Fastow, the energy giant's former chief financial officer. Lawyers for both sides are trying to strike a deal that would require Fastow to plead guilty to at least one charge against him and be sentenced to a prison term of at least 10 years, while allowing wife and alleged co-conspirator Lea Fastow to also plead guilty but spend much less time behind bars, according to federal sources close to the case.
Any plea agreement would require the approval of the two Houston federal judges who are supervising the couple's respective cases. One of them, U.S. District Judge David Hittner, nixed a proposed five-month plea bargain for Lea on Jan. 5, according to another knowledgeable source. Attorneys for the Fastows did not return calls for comment, and the Justice Dept. declined to comment.
SCARCE CLUES. Despite the roadblock, however, most legal experts expect defense attorneys for both Fastows to soon strike an agreement with prosecutors that the judges will find acceptable. If that happens, it could be bad news for former Enron Chairman Kenneth L. Lay and ex-CEO Jeffrey K. Skilling the men who have become emblematic of a two-year wave of corporate scandal that began with revelations of massive accounting fraud at Enron. Neither Lay nor Skilling have been charged with any wrongdoing, and both maintain they did nothing wrong. But "Fastow would be a deadly witness" for the prosecution, says David Berg, a Houston criminal defense attorney who has followed the Enron drama.
No smoking guns have emerged in the Justice probe to indicate that either Lay or Skilling was directly involved in the disastrous financial maneuvers that bankrupted Enron. "There hasn't been that much of a paper trail in this case," says University of Texas securities law professor Henry T.C. Hu. "Prosecutors will need to rely on oral communications. Fastow could talk about any oral communications he may have had with Skilling and Lay."
Another reason Fastow's cooperation could be key is that corporate criminal liability hinges on intent. Prosecutors have to prove what was in a defendant's head, and that's a tough task. But Fastow, as the former CFO, might be able to provide scene-setting narrative details to convince a jury that Skilling and Lay knew Enron was misleading investors.
FULL SCHEDULES? Even if that were to happen, famed Enron whistleblower Sharron S. Watkins still thinks Fastow would make a "problematic witness." Her reasoning: His plea would require him to admit concocting a massive fraud, and his credibility would be open to attack.

Mathematical Formalism and Political-Economic Content
Mathematical methods are only one moment in a layered process of theory generation in political economy, which starts from Schumpeterian vision, progresses to the identification of relevant abstractions, the development of mathematical and quantitative models, and the confrontation of theories with empirical data through statistical methods. But today the relevant abstract problems of political economy are modified to fit available mathematical tools. The role of empirical research in disciplining theoretical speculation, on which the scientific tradition's integrity rests, was undermined by specific limitations of nascent econometric methods, and usurped by ex cathedra methodological fiats of theorists. These developments systematically favored certain ideological predispositions of economics as a discipline. There is abundant room for New Thinking in political economy starting from the vision of the capitalist economy as a complex, adaptive system far from equilibrium, including the development of the theory of statistical fluctuations for economic interactions, redirection of macroeconomics and financial economics from path prediction toward an understanding of the qualitative properties of the system, introduction of constructive and computable methods into economic modeling, and the critical reconstruction of econometric statistical methods.
