It is the second time in history when a coin issued by Latvijas Banka has been recognised the Coin of the Year. The innovative Honey Coin, created by the designer Artūrs Analts, won by a very wide margin, and, quoting the 1 February 2020 press release of the Numismatic News, "the day was sweet as honey" for Latvijas Banka.
Last week, the award winners of the 37th competition Coin of the Year Awards (COTY), hosted by Active Interest Media (AIM; US) and presented by the numismatics magazine World Coin News, were announced at the World Money Fair in Berlin.
This contest is the world's most prestigious international coin competition, and Latvijas Banka collector coins have already been quite successful there before. For example, in 2010, the Coin of Latvia was recognised the Coin of the Year. In 2015, the silver collector coin The Baltic Way was recognised the Best Contemporary Event Coin at this contest, while in 2018, the collector coin National Entrepreneur was announced the Most Artistic Coin of the Year.
In October 2019, out of more than 1000 coins issued all over the world in 2018, the COTY Nomination Committee selected 10 coins in each of the award categories. In the next round of assessment of the selected 100 coins, an international panel of judges recognised the Honey Coin the winner in the category Most Artistic Coin and also the Coin of the Year.
The Honey Coin, a gold plated silver collector coin with the face value of 5 euro, had been previously recognised the winner of Latvia's Coin of the Year 2018 award. This coin is based on Artūrs Analts' work which was awarded the first prize in the competition for the best design of an innovative collector coin. The Honey Coin is dedicated to ecology, highlighting the role of bees in preserving biodiversity. Their presence is an indicator of nature's healthiness.
In January, we also learned that coins issued by Latvijas Banka had gained recognition at Coin Constellation – 2019, an international collector coin contest organised by the Water Mark Publishing House (Russia). More than 220 collector and circulation coins, issued in 2018, were nominated for the contest.
At the Coin Constellation contest, the Honey Coin was awarded the first place in the category Unique Concept. The collector coin Curonian Kings, created by artists Arvīds Priedīte (the graphic design) and Ligita Franckeviča (the plaster model), was awarded the first place in the category Coin Classic. The Coats of Arms Coin, created by artists Laimonis Šēnbergs (the graphic design) and Jānis Strupulis (the plaster model), was awarded the second place in the category Silver Coin of the Year. The collector coin Gold Brooches. The Bubble Fibula, created by Ingūna Elere (the graphic design) and Jānis Strupulis (the plaster model), was awarded the third place in the category Gold Coin of the Year. The 2 euro commemorative coin with common design Centenary of the Baltic States, issued by the central banks of the Baltic States, was awarded the third place in the category The Best Circulation Coin.
Since 1993, Latvijas Banka has issued 98 lats collector coins and 35 euro collector coins, with over 50 Latvian artists having participated in designing them.
The Coin Design Commission of Latvijas Banka (the former Commission for the Thematic Concept of the Banknotes and Coins), operational since 12 November 1993, plays an important role in the coin issuing process. The Commission consists of the employees of Latvijas Banka, outstanding Latvian experts of art and culture as well as artists and scientists.
Latvijas Banka carries on the tradition of issuing collector coin series with motifs characteristic of Latvia and executed in high artistic quality. These coins are legal tender only in Latvia. They are unlikely to come into general circulation, for, by nature, they are works of art enjoying high demand from the numismatic community and other interested parties.
The face value of collector coins must differ from that of coins in general circulation (it must be, e.g. 5 euro or 10 euro). Their specifications, including colour, diameter, weight, material, etc. have to be cardinally distinctive from those of the coins in general circulation.
For information on the collector coins on sale at e-monetas.lv and the Cashier's Offices of Latvijas Banka, see https://www.e-monetas.lv un https://monetas.bank.lv/iegade.
The issuance of 2 euro commemorative coins (2 euro circulation coins of special design) is another area of coin art. Each year, every euro area country is entitled to issue two 2 euro commemorative coins (similar to 1 lats special circulation coins previously issued in Latvia), featuring events of national, European or global significance. The euro area countries can additionally produce a third 2 euro commemorative coin, provided that it is issued jointly and that it commemorates events of European Union-wide importance.
Commemorative coins bear the same features and the same common or European side as the normal 2 euro circulation coins, while their national sides differ and feature a national commemorating motif.
Euro commemorative coins are legal tender throughout the euro area. This means they can be used – and must be accepted – just like any other euro coin.

She made history when she won the 2015 Gateway Classic at Longbow Golf Club and became the youngest player to win a Symetra Tour event (age 16). She also became the third woman to win on the Symetra Tour or LPGA Tour before age 17. During her AJGA career, O'Sullivan was a four-time Rolex Junior All-American, including Rolex Junior Player of the Year in 2015 and will begin at Duke University in the fall. She won three AJGA events (2015 PING Heather Farr Classic, 2015 Rolex Girls Junior Championship, 2015 Rolex Tournament of Champions) and was a three-time Wyndham Cup West Team participant.

In her junior season, she broke the school record for single-season scoring average, career scoring average and all-time junior scoring average. Dambaugh finished in the top-10at both AJGA events she played as a junior and was a member of the 2011 Wyndham Cup East Team.

The Glitterati are lab rats who were first in the book, and later in the cartoon via the TV specials "New Ghoul @ School" and "Fright On!".
Physical Description
In the Monster High books, the Glitterati are five white lab rats with red eyes owned by Frankie's father that are kept in the lab (or as Frankie calls it, the "Fab"). When Frankie redecorates the lab as her bedroom, she covers each of the rats in glitter, dubbing them the "Glitterati".
In the webisode, it is not made clear whether the same thing has happened, or if the rats have always had sparkly fur.
In both "New Ghoul @ School" and "Fright On!", the Glitterati help Frankie Stein get up by bringing her her bursh, shampoo and cosmetics.
- The five Glitterati's names are Gwen, Gaga, Green Day, Girlicious, and Ghostface Killah. Their names come from Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, the band Green Day, the girl group Girlicious, and the stage name of rapper Dennis Coles.
- Judging by the names, they are 3 girls and 2 boys.

The University of Canberra has a new go-to watering hole, and its name is The Well.
The student-built, student-run bar popped up during the winter term, and welcomed the start of O week with a bang last week.
The establishment opened its doors to an influx of students and Canberra creatives of all types for its official launch party, and the food, drinks and entertainment didn't disappoint.
The Well's cinema-inspired theming provided the perfect inspiration for the night, with guests treated to the bar's signature Citizen Kane cocktail. Entertainment was provided by Rockabilly band the King Hits as well as Jemist, Bottle Brush and Darcy Welsh.
But the star of the show was undoubtedly the amazing array of delicious savoury and sweet treats on offer (delivered by 50s style roller girls no less).
Head chef Jess Phillips created bite size versions of the all-American menu, including New York sliders, veggie mojo sliders, chilli dogs, southern fried chicken and buffalo wings.
For dessert, she put together a smorgasbord of sugary goodness ranging from nutella cheesecake with crushed oreos to churros cupcakes to chilli chocolate ganache tarts.
"I wanted to incorporate elements from our usual menu, like the cheesecake, as well as some classic American desserts like the lemon meringue pie," Jess said.
"We also put together a candy bar to complete the quintessential movie experience with small packets of lollies, Twizzlers and peanut butter cups. We even created a bacon-salted popcorn to provide that all important aroma."
The most mouthwatering of all however, had to be the towering chocolate brownie cake, covered with oreo buttercream, toasted meringue, honeycomb and fresh berries.
And if all those sweets left you feeling a little worse for wear, a 1964 red convertible mustang was even provided as a convenient getaway car.
Now you may think that pulling of an party like this would take an experienced event planner. And while the bar is managed by Chop Shop alum Patrick Rose, I happen to know that he has a lot of help from the Well's official mascot, Orson.
Orson is a cheeky monster who just wants to make a little mischief and inject some fun into the drudgery of student life.
The Well is open 12pm-late everyday, for more info on events check out facebook.com/TheWellUC.

News Headlines - 31 August 2018
▽Facebook removes accounts associated with Myanmar military | The Guardian
Facebook has removed 18 accounts and 52 pages associated with the Myanmar military, including the page of its commander-in-chief, after a UN report accused the armed forces of genocide and war crimes.
In an unusually prompt move, the pages and accounts of the Mynamar military, known as the Tatmadaw, were deleted just minutes after the UN fact-finding mission released its damning report.
Facebook, which is a highly popular source of information in Myanmar, has come under criticism for giving a platform to vitriolic posts aimed at stirring up and spreading hatred against the minority Muslim Rohingya population.
▽Japan Protests China's Ban on Sankei Shimbun Coverage | JAPAN Forward
Chinese government authorities on Wednesday, August 29, refused to let The Sankei Shimbun participate in pool media, leading the the Japan Press Association in Beijing — comprised of reporters from major Japanese newspapers and news agencies based in China's capital — to boycott the news-gathering activities at the outset of the Wan-Akiba talks.
The association declared it could never accept the Chinese act of depriving a specific news organization of a reporting opportunity. Japanese TV crews in Beijing followed suit.
▽Residents blast water-discharge method at Fukushima plant:The Asahi Shimbun
Fishermen and local residents on Aug. 30 vehemently opposed the government's plan to discharge radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, saying the measure will damage a number of industries.
During a public hearing on the measure, they also blasted the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., for "misleading" the public by failing to disclose that radioactive substances, such as strontium, remained in the water to be discharged.
▽Puerto Rico revises Hurricane Maria death toll to 2,975 after study - CNN
Puerto Rico's government raised its official Hurricane Maria death toll to 2,975 on Tuesday in the wake of a new estimate from researchers.
The new figure is 46 times larger than the previous toll the Puerto Rican government released in December 2017, when officials said 64 people had died as a result of the storm.
It comes on the same day researchers from George Washington University revealed findings from a study on storm-related deaths commissioned by the US commonwealth's government.
▽Mystery woman in Texas security video with wrist restraints is safe: police | Reuters
A partially dressed woman who briefly appeared in security camera footage approaching a home in a suburban Houston subdivision with what appear to be broken restraints dangling from her wrists has been found and is safe, police said on Wednesday.
The woman, 32, was the girlfriend of a man who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and has been confirmed to be the person in the security video footage, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said.

Dias CB, Wood LG, Garg ML. - 47480 N - Eur J Clin Nutr 2016 ; in press.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: In a randomized parallel-design trial, we aimed to investigate the long-term effects of n-3PUFA supplementation in subjects consuming a diet enriched with either SFA or n-6PUFA on fatty acid incorporation into plasma and erythrocytes and on blood lipid profiles (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides).
RESULTS: Dietary supplementation with n-3PUFA co-administered with SFA for 6 weeks resulted in a significant rise in total cholesterol (0.46+/-0.60 mmol/L; P=0.020) and LDL-C (0.48+/-0.48 mmol/L; P=0.011) in comparison with combination with n-6PUFA. The diet enriched with SFA also induced a greater increase in eicosapentaenoic acid (2.07+/-0.79 vs 1.15+/-0.53; P=0.004), a smaller decrease in docosapentaenoic acid (-0.12+/-0.23 vs -0.30+/-0.20; P=0.034) and a similar increase in docosahexaenoic acid (3.85+/-1.14 vs 3.10+/-1.07; P=0.128) percentage in plasma compared with the diet enriched with n-6PUFA. A similar effect was seen in erythrocytes. N-3PUFA supplementation resulted in similar changes in HDL-C and triglyceride levels.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that dietary substitution of SFA with n-6PUFA, despite maintaining low levels of circulating cholesterol, hinders n-3PUFA incorporation into plasma and tissue lipids.

Grenfell Tower tragedy prompts calls for faith groups to be better prepared for disasters
FAITH groups should have regular drills to prepare for disasters and terrorist attacks within their local area after the Grenfell Tower fire, a report by a Christian think tank says. Places of worship are often used as shelters, meeting points and aid distribution centres in the immediate aftermath of a major disaster, according to the study.
The report, titled After Grenfell: the Faith Groups' Response and published by Theos, recommends that religious centres including churches, mosques and temples undertake adequate "preparation in peacetime".
This could include health and safety tests similar to school fire drills with an emphasis on "everyone involved knowing their role".
The influx of spontaneous volunteers, as well as "grotesque disaster tourists", means faith centres should create detailed lists of possible volunteers and ensure adequate training beforehand, the study found.
The research also recommends that faith centres work alongside local authorities and inform them of the services which they can offer, in terms of volunteers, space and relevant skills.
The Grenfell Tower fire inquiry is expected to last 18 months
The report was produced in response to the Grenfell Tower fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people and left hundreds homeless.
According to the research, faith groups responded quickly and effectively to the disaster, as they were rooted in the community.
Amid receiving and processing donations, as well as directing volunteers, faith groups were able to offer "pastoral first aid" to those who had fled or witnessed the fire.
Earlier today, the Grenfell Tower inquiry heard that a range of serious fire safety breaches had occurred at the building, including a "stay put" policy which failed, more than 100 non-compliant fire doors and a firefighting lift that did not work.
According to a report commissioned by the Grenfell Tower inquiry, the cladding on the outside of the building was so conducive to the spread of the fire it did not support the "stay put" policy normally in place for a building of its type.
Fire safety engineer Dr Barbara Lane, who lead the report, wrote that the "stay put" strategy, which was pursued by the fire service on June 14 last year, had failed barely half an hour on from when the fire had started at 1.26am.
The inquiry into the disaster is expected to last 18 months.

I have increasingly become convinced that the churches I have been part of in the past have predominantly held a weak soteriology focused on proclaiming exclusively how to get admission tickets to heaven while ignoring the full gospel demonstrated by Jesus in His birth, life, death, and resurrection. This has resulted in insipid country-club-like religion which has left structural injustice in place. I have become convinced that this is not the full gospel, and that our kerygma needs to include a proclamation and demonstration of God's shalom kingdom of righteousness, justice and peace.
NT Wright's book, "Surprised by Hope" has been particularly helpful in helping me develop my understanding of eschatology and in response, our mission and understanding of the gospel. Central to the book is the message that exclusively hoping in life after death leaves Christian mission void of "change, rescue, transformation¸ (and) new possibilities within the world in the present".
Wright argues that this limited understanding of Christian hope leaves Christians believing that the only thing that matters is evangelism. This kind of Christianity is why Karl Marl's famously paraphrased quote: "religion is the opium of the masses" is so widely proclaimed. Marx argued that economic realities prevent the poor from finding true happiness in this life, so religion tells them to accept this as their lot because they will find true happiness in the next life. Is this the true full gospel, which leaves structural injustice in place?
I remember, as a child singing the hymn
"All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all…
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
He made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate."
As I reflect on this song, which shaped some of my early Christian theology, I have to declare - surely there is more to Christian hope than waiting until we die for our liberation. Surely it is not the job of the church to leave the rich and the poor in their assigned lot. God's salvation plan of setting captives free has to be for this life.
NT Wright contends that "As long as we see 'salvation' in terms of 'going to heaven when we die', the main work of the church is bound to be seen in terms of saving souls for that future. But when we see 'salvation', as the New Testament sees it, in terms of God's promised new heavens and new earth, and of our promised resurrection to share in that new, and gloriously embodied, reality – what I have called 'life after life after death' – then the main work of the church here and now demands to be rethought in consequence."
So many of my homeless friends on the street talk about their desperation to be off the streets, free from their addictions, forgiven for all the things they have done and reconciled with their families. We have to believe with them that there is indeed "life before death" for these precious people. I may feel sad and at times helpless, perhaps even emotional, but I have to believe that God is surely able in this life to demonstrate resurrection as we build for the realm of God. Furthermore for my friends suffering under the multiple intersection oppressions of racism, sexism, islamaphobia, xenophobia and other forms of othering, I have to believe that the gospel is good news to liberate us even from these systems.
In the gospels "is the story of God's kingdom being launched on earth as in heaven, generating a new state of affairs in which the power of evil has been decisively defeated, the new creation has been decisively launched, and Jesus' followers have been commissioned and equipped to put that victory, and that inaugurated new world, into practice."
"To hope for a better future in this world – for the poor, the sick, the lonely and depressed, for the slaves, the refugees, the hungry and homeless, for the abused, the paranoid, the downtrodden and despairing, and in fact for the whole wide, wonderful and wounded world – is not something else, something extra, something tacked on to 'the gospel' as an afterthought."
In my experience, it seems the more our gospel proclamation is focused on getting people to heaven, the more content it is to leave people in many hells they find themselves in on earth.
What are we trying to do?
Are we hearing the cries?
" Vox Victimarum vox dei: The cries of the victims are the voice of God. To the extent that these cries are not heard above the din of our political, cultural, economic, social and ecclesial celebrations or bickering, we have already begun a descent into hell"
(Bosch quoting Lamb)
What a profound statement! If we are not hearing the cries of the poor, perhaps we are not fully hearing the voice of God. Linked to this, if presence with the poor is presence with God then absence from the poor is also absence from God. Separation from God is the essence of hell. Perhaps a primary reason we have so many hells on earth is exactly because we have created homes, communities, cities and nations without the presence and guidance of God found in the voice of the marginalised.
The invitation has always been to lean into the voices of pain in both our history and the current reality shaped by that history. We have needed to listen deeply to the context for the invitation revealed in the wound in order to engage in the work of God in the world of brokenness.
It has followed then that an important question to ask was: "where is there pain?" Perhaps if we could find the pain and hear its cry, we could hear the whispering invitation of God to be involved in its salve.
The reality is that for many churches in the suburbs they have not heard the cries of the vulnerable among them. In South Africa's unequal society, the rich and poor grow up alongside one another and the marginalised and vulnerable remain unseen.
A new question emerging is:
- How do we help the church in the suburbs see and hear the cries of the oppressed among them?
Lets then pray this prayer together
Leaning into 2019 intentionally
As we head into 2019, we have been thinking about being more intentional with our friendship and in our support of one another. We recognise that we are all on personal journeys trying to live our Christianity intentionally in sometimes difficult circumstances, trying to confront the injustice within and around us, and trying to influence people and spaces we find ourselves in to also embark on journeys towards justice. As we do this, we think we should be asking a few questions:
As we have thought about our (the Branken family and Neighbours) plans for 2019, we see us focussing in particular on:
These are a few ways you could help us in 2019:
Listening to a student
I have started studying this year at UP. I am doing a short course called leadership in Urban Transformation at the Centre for Contextual Theology at University of Pretoria. It involves 5 x 4-day sessions over the year where we analyze, reflect and plan our work.
Today is day 4 of the block and lectures start really early so I arrived at 6:30. I went in, the lecture theatre was locked and so went to sit outside. While waiting there I opened up my lunch box and offered the young woman next to me a mango. She seemed quite eager to receive it and so I began to ask a bit of her story.
She is from the Eastern Cape and has come to study theology. She is currently sleeping at the Elim Church while she waits for her NISFAS funding to secure her residence. She should be placed in res by next week. In the mean time she had not had food (clearly for a while).
I gave her the rest of my lunch, my card to call if she needs help in any way and went off to class thinking about what's happenening around South Africa on our universities and how this story gives me a little more insight into why this is all so important.

We have received overwhelming interest in our newest adventure tour: Mumbai Marathon/Half plus Kerala. For this reason, we are extending our special: Reserve this tour by August 30th and receive $100 off the registration price!
The Mumbai Marathon/Half is a thrilling experience with participants from around the world. The course winds through the bustling streets of Mumbai, India's largest city that incorporates the ancient with the modern. Following the event, fly to Kerala and soak up the coastal scenery. Stay overnight on a houseboat in the backwaters of Alleppey and explore the beach villages in Mararikulam.
9 days/8 nights
Mumbai – Mararikulam – Alleppey – Cochin
Dates: January 13 – 21, 2011
As I discuss in this month's newsletter, I am personally excited for this tour. In January, a friend and I signed up to run the Race for the Roses half-marathon here in Portland. As someone who had only run a maximum of three miles on a treadmill, I was both nervous and excited about preparing my mind and body to run 13.1 miles in only twelve weeks. On April 11th, I crossed the finish line with such an immense feeling of accomplishment! The Mumbai Marathon/Half is for runners of all levels – If you have never run before, here is an exciting opportunity to combine an exotic trip to India with an athletic goal! (Trust me, if I can do it, so can you!)
Join us as we pound the pavement in Mumbai!

This event has been Postponed
Welcome to the 4th event of the 5 event Bay Area Ridge Trail Series and the 3rd annual Saratoga Trail Run at Sanborn Coutny Park. This park is special to the new owners of PCTR, because of the fun enjoyed here as a child and in later adult adventures. The park has grown over time and provides one of the best staging areas for any trail race. 90% of the trail you will experience will be under the canopy of the beautiful redwoods and lush forest. Choose 50K, 30K, 21K (Half-Marathon), or 10K. Either way, you will be challenged all while enjoying the scenery and fellow trail runners.
All events will start and finish at Sanborn County Park. You will enjoy running under the canopy of massive Sequoia Redwoods along some of the most beautiful single track trails in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This year, we are adding a 50K distance for our ultra minded runners. The 50K will run north towards San Francisco along the Bay Area Ridge Trail to Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve. For those of you who ran last year, you will remember the course starting and finishing here. With the construction on Sanborn Road now complete, we are able to move the race back to its original home.

Indian farmers increasingly find themselves in a vicious cycle of debt as a result of high production costs, high interest rates, volatile market prices for crops and the rising costs of fuel and commercial seeds. Under such conditions, providing PRASAD Chikitsa staff with up-to-date and relevant information is essential to breaking the poverty cycle. PRASAD Chikitsa teaches farmers to work more efficiently and helps women's groups start kitchen gardens that will bring extra income and food to the family.
Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF)
In September, PRASAD Chikitsa representatives attended a week-long workshop by Subhash Palekar, an agriculturist who has practiced and written many books about Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), a positive approach to ending a reliance on loans and drastically cutting production costs.
Government Agricultural Institute – Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK)
PRASAD Chikitsa staff attended KVK, a government-run research and training Institute, which offers courses such as agronomy, agriculture extension, horticulture, livestock production and home science. The visit generated opportunities for partnerships and joint training in the Tansa Valley, enhancing production and cost-effectiveness.
Rainwater Harvesting And Soil Conservation – Vanvadi
The importance of soil enrichment, water conservation and the conservation of forests was discussed, in addition to the advantages of using local seeds rather than costly commercial ones.
Composting – Specialist Guest Mrs Priti
At PRASAD Chikitsa's Gorad Farm, the staff attended a demonstration on compost preparation at zero cost for farmers using locally accessible organic material rather than costly chemical additives and fertilizers. Soil rich in organic matter retains moisture for a long period after the monsoon season, reducing the need for costly irrigation.
You can help PRASAD Chikitsa!
Make training possible for 25 farmers
for one quarter – $78
– Hard Waste Management
A Pilot Project – Ganeshpuri, Vajreshwari and Akoli
In April, PRASAD Chikitsa held a workshop on waste management, which included the harmful effects of waste landfills that pollute land, air and water and create health issues. Later, in a cleanliness drive at Ganeshpuri, the SHG (Self Help Group) enthusiastically accepted the 'zero waste' concept. They separated garbage and recyclables, created compost and built hoardings to dissuade dumping at three sites as the first steps to a clean environment.
Career Guidance Program
PRASAD Chikitsa's program creates awareness among students of future job opportunities and different vocational courses available in nearby institutions. At the stall run by PRASAD Chikitsa, staff introduced its initiative 'Solid Waste Management'.
Did you know you can donate shares, rather than cash, in your Will? It can achieve a better result for the charity you wish to support.
Donating shares is tax effective.
If you state your gift as shares (rather than a cash amount), no capital gains tax (CGT) has to be paid – even if the charity chooses to convert them to cash later. The charity of your choice, provided it is a tax exempt charity, receives the full amount of the shares. So a gift of shares in your Will maximises the amount available for your favourite cause.
Maximising your donation while you are living.
You can also donate shares directly to your favourite charity during your lifetime. And, if franking credits are involved, it becomes an ongoing gift rather than a one-off.
Please contact Peter Speakman, a PRASAD Australia Director and the board's legal advisor, for further information. E:email@example.com tel: 03 9822 8611.
Giving at Christmas
At this time of the year, we are invited to remember the people of the Tansa Valley. You can donate or talk to others about donating to PRASAD Australia so the valuable life-changing programs can continue to grow. Even a small amount can make a big difference.
Some ideas for you to consider:
- $28 Provide seeds to start a kitchen garden for one family
- $70 Sponsor an awareness meeting for 30 farmers on organic farming
- $100 Provide one farm well for rain water harvesting
- $112 Pay for the training of a SHG for one year
- $140 Support the cultivation of indigenous rice for five farmers
- $155 Provide training for 50 farmers for one quarter
Remember all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Already a monthly donor?
If your monthly donation has not changed for some time, would you consider raising it?
Even a few dollars could make a big difference.
Leaving a Legacy
Have you considered nominating PRASAD Australia as a beneficiary in your will?
This could be in the form of money, or a percentage of the assets of your estate.

6Qs with Photographer Noha Ghany //
byMarwa Helal
Like so many of us young Arab-Americans, Noha Ghany chose a traditional career path when she started her freshman year at The Ohio State University. Once, a student expecting to graduate with the pre-requisites for a career in health care, she recently earned her BFA in photography. She tells FEN about why she made the switch and shares some photos:
place to photograph: Studio–it allows me to stage or perform for the camera while maintaining some sense of intimacy
form of photography: Color negative printing
color through the camera: Colors that appear natural but have a hyper-real effect
1. When did you first become interested in photography?
I have always loved taking pictures. My parents gave me an automatic Minolta camera when I was 11. They wanted me to take pictures of my family and friends to serve as memories. Looking back at some of those photos I see my girlfriends and I, so easily posed in front of the camera–at that age we didn't have any insecurities or worries. We were in control. That was my first exposure to "photography."
2. When did you decide it was what you wanted to study?
I took the photography courses offered throughout high school but it was not until I took my first college course that I knew that was what I wanted to study. I have always been drawn to the arts, and was never really a strong writer.
After taking my first course I was instantly attracted to the notion that I could have an idea or thought and try to see it visually. Plus I used to skip most of my math and science classes to go hang in the darkroom!
3. Your inspirations, role models and why?
I have so many! Being from two cultures: Egyptian and American, I am always thinking about this "in between-ness."
I often look at misconceptions of the nature of an Arab woman as well as highlighted stereotypes. Shirin Neshat was the first female Arab-Muslim artist I learned about, so naturally I was drawn to her. She juxtaposes a lot of written calligraphy, guns, and martyrs with body parts–making the body appear like an open book. Beyond the obvious: how powerful and poetic her work is,
I like how she takes a stereotype and uses it in a way to point it back in your face. This method of using a cliché symbol then subverting the viewer is something that interests me.
4. What are you doing now that you have your BFA?
I hope to eventually go back to graduate school for my MFA. In the meantime, I'm interning at a professional photo studio to gain experience and strengthen my lighting and business skills. I'll be taking a trip to Cairo, where I'll be freelancing while exploring ideas that deal with both my identities, as well as the expanding hybrid-mix of culture there.
5. What's your favorite camera to play with?
I love using Holgas (plastic cameras)–the negatives are usually an awesomely crappy quality and the images are distorted so I never have full control over the result.
6. Your advice for younger artists?
Just start with something simple you like and are good at, and expand from that. Something great and true will come out when you are passionate about it.

"There's a word for a writer that never gives up... published."
J.A. Konrath, author of the Jack Daniels mysteries, said that. It's on his profile at jakonrath.blogspot.com. I found his blog through Maria Schneider (writersdigest.com/writersperspective)'s blog, as well as finding Susan Johnston's blog (theurbanmuse.blogspot.com) and through hers finding The Chick Lit Review, which I'm submitting to.
See a pattern here? I used to think there weren't enough magazines for me to write for. Now I realize I wasn't looking (I have that problem a lot.) If you want to get published, read the writing lit. Read Writer's Digest, The Writer, ByLine. Read writing blogs and sites. Look for places that publish you. I'm always on the lookout for a possible article or short story market.
Market books (like Children's Writer and Illustrator Market, organized listing of magazines) are great but never limit yourself to them. They can't contain every zine. They're also organized by genre. I love fiction and I write it a lot. But I also write nonfiction articles, and so I'm looking for markets in both areas.
If this feels really overwhelming, don't let the feeling overwhelm you :). I've worked for three years to get to the point that I read all this stuff. Cold turkey won't cook your Thanksgiving meal, so here are a few suggestions to "ease in" to being a Publication Hunter.
1. Research the Innovative Spotlighted! magazines. These do accept teen writing, which eliminates a step for you. Never submit to them without going on their website at least. I can't publish all the information on submissions in a paragraph.
2. Read www.kidmagwriters.com, and pay attention to two things in particular.
a. The Inside Markets section. Jan Fields lists different magazines every month, with news and guidelines. Normally, there are three to five listings. This is a perfect amount, because out of five probably one of them is applicable to you.
b. The authors' bios. KidMagWriters.com publishes articles by both experienced and newbie writers. Read their bios and note down where they've been published. Then Google the magazines in particular, and see if you could fit in with them. That's how I discovered Fandangle, and my short story is being published with them this month.
Whatever you do, don't give in and don't give up. There's a word for a writer that does that.

Big Four sign cease fire agreement over Ukraine
Feb 13, 2015
We certainly are living in interesting times.
Yesterday Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and France concluded a peace deal in regard to the Ukraine crisis. The news media complained that Russia got everything it wanted, and Ukraine got nothing except a cease fire. Putin was holding all the cards and bargained from a position of strength, they said.
The absence of the US as a negotiator was glaring. In diplomatic language, the US was marginalized. The world understood that the US was being overruled. Germany and France were removing themselves from US hegemony and dealing with Russia directly. This came about mostly because the Europeans remember the previous World Wars and do not want to be caught in the crossfire between the US and Russia. The US-led NATO was pushing them into a war that they do not want.
That alone is the diplomatic version of a major military victory in battle. Not only does this signal the end of US hegemony in Europe, but also shows disunity in NATO and may even foreshadow the breakup of NATO itself.
Having said that, the next question is whether or not this peace deal will actually hold. It is supposed to take effect Sunday. Heavy weaponry is to be withdrawn from the battle front, leaving the war to be fought only with light arms. To me, this does not sound much like peace. Yet if everyone would abide by the terms of the cease fire, there could be peace.
However, I have little confidence in human nature, and history is full of examples where wars are more easily started than ended. Even our own oligarchs know that once our first soldier is killed, we can no longer stop the war, otherwise it would appear that his death was all in vain. Lies are the pretext for war, but casualties immediately become the reason to continue a war.
There are many casualties on both sides of the war in Ukraine. The side that perceives itself to be winning a war never wants a peace deal. Only losers sue for peace. The rebels in Ukraine believe themselves to be winning the war. The Kiev government hopes to win with US support, but political realities in Europe are preventing them from receiving much help, other than covert operations and secret shipments of arms.
So the Big Four summit is being seen as a big win for Putin and a defeat for the side-lined Obama, whether or not the cease fire holds. It may be that in the end, the US will have to back down completely in Ukraine. It was agreed that Russia would have a say in changing Ukraine's constitution—no doubt to guarantee equal rights to its Russian population.
I can only imagine the angst this is causing in the US government, which is coming under siege in other areas as well.
The Snowden leaks have done enormous damage to the reputation of the US intelligence agencies, as people from around the world are able to see what they have said and done in secret. David Carr, a widely-respected journalist for the New York Times, moderated an interview with Snowden yesterday, and within a few hours he was dead.
Carr's sudden death came as a shock to an industry already reeling from a tumultuous week that included the suspension of "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, the announced departure of "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, and the traffic death of legendary CBS News correspondent Bob Simon -- all media stories the Times columnist wrote and commented on in the 48 hours preceding his collapse.
Earlier Thursday, Carr moderated a TimesTalk on the National Security Agency leaks with Edward Snowden, and journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. Within hours, he was dead.
We know that the intelligence agencies have machines that have the capability of causing heart attacks. Carr's death will be listed as having natural causes, but the coincidence of timing makes many people suspicious. Likewise with yesterday's car crash of the CBS reporter, Bob Simon, it makes us wonder if someone was sending a "Carr-car" message of intimidation to keep the media from breaking ranks.
What is going on in the media? Brian Williams was suspended for lying in some of his reports. Jon Stewart is retiring, too. In the past few years we have been seeing bankers being suicided, especially those who work for JP Morgan. But now we are seeing many journalists dying, retiring, or being exposed. We should watch this in the coming months. It could get ugly.
The next two weeks may see the turning point in this war between East and West. I suspect that February 17-23 will bring some events to a climax, because it is the culmination of Operation Jericho (September of 2011). But even as the original battle of Jericho was only the first major battle when Joshua took the Kingdom, so also I do not expect this to be the last battle in our time.

High Maintenance
Flash Fiction Month 2019, Day 24
Doctor Hewlett checked the next two names on her schedule: Nic Panaso and Mark Lex. She called them in.
"So," she began. "Tell me a little about your relationship: how did you two meet?"
"Well," said Nic. "It was at that electronics superstore—the one just outside of town. We were at the same checkout, and we just sort of clicked. It was like we were made for each other, you know? Like we were meant to be together."
"It's common to feel that something's missing once that initial excitement wears off, but you must still see something in each other."
"Well, yes! We still connect on so many levels: USB, Bluetooth, even over our home network. But—"
Doctor Hewlett put up a hand. "I'm quite conscious that I haven't heard a word from Mark yet." She turned to him. "Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Mark leaned forward significantly. "Black ink low." Continue reading

Sorry if it seems like all of my last posts have been housing related. I tried to re-create the photos from the listing to do a direct comparison. We still need a TV for the living room and for some art/degrees to be hung in the office space, but this is pretty much it.
The garage will get a more in depth before/after in the coming weeks hopefully.
We painted over the yellowish colour that existed before with a warm light gray and dark blue feature walls in the bedroom/living room.
We did buy some of their furniture as part of a separate cash deal since they were moving to the UK and we were coming from a much smaller space.

Sweetheart – I know your past. I know how you have yo-yo-dieted for over 15 years. I know that any time you cheat it's a recipe for failure.
I know a cheat sends you spiraling off course until you are no longer on your program, depressed, miserable, and feeling like a failure.
I know that every time you cheat you rob yourself of the beauty that life has to offer and the beauty that you have to offer the world. Your "walls" go up every time you cheat and you feel like a failure.
I know that food can be a drug for you – a drug that is addicting and damaging to your body and your mind. Your struggle is to create a balance so that you can eat foods that nourish and cleanse your body and mind rather than destroy it.
I also know that you are strong and that you have the ability to reach your goals and shine. I know that you will be happier when you have accomplished your goals and your inner beauty will radiate as your outer beauty comes into alignment.
I know that it's not about the food. It's about resolving what's in your mind, your past, and what surfaces with your emotions. It's about staying calm and letting those issues surface without bolting towards food to mask the pain – the issue.
I know that if you stay on this course of losing weight, getting healthy, and maintaining that weight that you will feel more empowered than ever before.
We're getting stronger and overcoming the inner chubby chick. I know you can do this! You have to know it for yourself.

Kate Middleton dissed for not setting fashion trends
HollywoodNews.com: Kate Middleton's style has been loved by many people, but some feel that she isn't taking it far enough.
Gregg Andrews, the fashion director at Nordstrom, recently commented on her choices during New York fashion week, states RadarOnline.com. "She is stylish, but she's not setting trends, she's following trends," Andrews said about what Middleton is doing wrong.
He also thinks that if she weren't married to Prince William, people wouldn't look twice: "She's a beautiful woman, but she blends into a crowd."

I was pleasantly surprised when my plane landed in Smithers BC…the beauty of the mountains was breathtaking as I woke in the morning to brilliant sunshine and snow capped peaks.
Smithers (pop. 6000) is located in the Bulkley Valley of northwestern British Columbia, on the Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway (Route 16), approximately half way between Prince Rupert and Prince George.
Smithers was in week 5 of their program with the focus on Family Traditions, Healthy Community and Healthy Together for Life. My experience at this session highlighted some of the common themes I have experienced at each site visit.
The participants LOVE the cooking portion of the program and enjoy trying new and healthy recipes. There was willingness and enthusiasm from all age groups for tasks ranging from dicing and mashing sweet potatoes to layering parfaits. The participants also actively participated and enjoyed the discussions as the group unfolded.
As an outsider for each site visit I have seen how every group has been different in style and content emphasis based on cultural, geographical and facilitator driven adaptations, but the outcomes of cooking enjoyment and discussion interest remained high.
Smithers had a wonderful range of activities that were outside the box and very successful for their participants. They brought in a yoga instructor and physiotherapist for the youth group and I had the pleasure of joining for an introduction to Frisbee golf using actual Frisbee Golf Discs (which were then the take home for participants). I also joined a game of Up! with balloons and was surprised at how much we all moved and increased our heart rate while having fun.
The 13 to 18 youth group in Smithers has a unique story but I will save this for a future blog post created by the youth themselves…stay tuned!

The Imperfectly Perfect Parent
I'm a social media parent. The one that bugs you or inspires you
You either love me or hate me.
I'll brag-post about how my son has been reading on his own now but then an hour later I'll mention wanting to Britney-shave my head because I'm going crazy from my kid's screaming fights.
I post pictures on Instagram with no shame. I love playing with my kids and putting kooky pics on the site to share. I've also posted pics when my daughter fell. I know there are parents who think I'm crazy to do so. But those parents who have had similar incidents, I hope they see my pics and go it's not just me, I'm not a bad parent.
I'm not a bad parent. You aren't one either. We all tend to judge. Of course, I'm on the chopping block because I choose to show my kids via social media. Then again, so do other parents. The levels of sharing are different. Everyone has an opinion on what should be shared. I tease a little. I make fun. I've participated in the "kid shaming" meme. I'm not doing any of those things to be cruel or vicious. I make mistakes. I over share. I really don't care what the judges think. Call me selfish or dangerously inept. Go ahead. You are entitled to your opinion as much as I'm entitled to be a SMP a social media parent
Do I think about my kids seeing/ reading my blog years down the road? Yup. Will I tell them what I did? Yup. Because I want them to know I'm real.
A real parent and a human being. I'm entitled to my emotions as they fluctuate like the moods of my kids. I create and write based on those things that surround me because the audience I desire is looking for a real parent to read about. Funny, sad, anxious, crazed, madly in love with their children.
Imperfectly perfect.
